This week, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were joined by co-host emeritus Benjamin Wittes to talk through the week's very big national security news stories, including:“The Waiting Game.” The Middle East is on edge this week as it awaits a possible attack by Iran or Hezbollah on Israel in response to the suspected assassination of senior Hezbollah and Hamas leaders last week, including the chairman of Hamas's political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed while visiting Tehran for the swearing in of its new president, Masoud Pezeshkian. What might a response look like, if there is one? And what does it mean for the region, including the prospects of a Gaza ceasefire?“Stay Weird, Austin.” Just days after the announcement of a long-negotiated plea deal for three of the four remaining defendants in the military commission trial relating to the 9/11 attacks, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin took the surprising and still largely unexplained move of intervening to rescind that deal and remove the convening authority that had approved it. What can explain Austin's actions? What will they mean for the future of the military commissions?“A Favorable Exchange Rate.” In a surprise move, the Biden administration and several European allies concluded a massive prisoner exchange with Russia, which resulted in the release of 16 detained U.S. and European nationals and Russian dissidents, among them Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan. In exchange, Russia received eight Russian agents, including convicted assassin Vadim Krasikov. Is this a win for the Biden administration? What does it tell us about the state of hostage politics—and its future?For object lessons, Alan expressed his new passion for pottery. Quinta endorsed synchronized/artistic swimming as her favorite Olympic event, thanks in part to a surprise cameo from Jason Momoa. Scott recommended the movie Thelma for a funny and compassionate take on aging. And Ben shared how a recent near-death experience led him to dump chalk dust outside the Russian Embassy.Promotion: Use code RATIONALSECURITY at the link here to get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan: https://incogni.com/rationalsecurity.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Brittney Griner says she managed to survive 10 months in a Russian prison because of the letters of support she received from fans. And how she's asking them to do the same thing for imprisoned ex-Marine Paul Whelan. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The prisoner swap that traded Russian arms trafficker Viktor Bout for WNBA star Brittney Griner inspired commentary across the political aisle. It also revealed how long Bout had been on the international bargaining table, for other U.S. citizens in Russian prisons. In the podcast, Bout's lawyer Steve Zissou confirms that former President Donald Trump passed on an opportunity to trade his client for former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan. He also responds to a Twitter post from Donald Trump Jr. calling Bout a "terrorist."Diving deep into the more than decade-old trial of Viktor Bout, the interview explores his reputation as the "Merchant of Death," the sting operation that brought him down, and the sober account of what will become of his arms trade.

In this episode, In this episode, I unpack the intricacies of the U.S.-Russia prisoner swap in which Brittney Griner was released from a Russian prison in exchange for terrorist arms dealer Viktor Bout. But first, I call out those who are wrong to ooze disrespect for women athletes and athletics during this situation, in spite of being right in their disdain for Griner's attitude toward America and their anger that Marine Paul Whelan was not part of the deal.

When Dallas Cowboys linebacker, Michael Parson tweeted his thoughts on the government making a trade with Russia to release WNBA star Brittney Griner, but left behind former Marine Paul Whelan, he was blasted all over social media for it. There's no surprise that he quickly apologized. Just another example of how collective demonization is being used to try to silence all who dare to disagree with those in power.
Welcome back to the Bill Bradley Collective, where this week your hosts examine the ongoing labor dispute between freight railroads and workers. A tentative deal was struck between the rail companies and unions only to be voted down by the unions' rank-and-file during attempted ratification. President Biden became actively involved dating back to this summer, and on December 2 Biden signed the rejected agreement into law, averting a strike. Join us as we deep dive these negotiations, the bargaining positions of both the rail companies and unions workers, the state of the labor movement in 2022, and Biden's labor legacy on the heels of his controversial intervention. In lieu of our regularly scheduled rants, the Collective offer their thoughts on Brittney Griner's release from Russian detention, the exchange of incarcerated Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout for Griner that unfortunately did not also involve imprisoned U.S. Marine Paul Whelan, and all of the worst reactions from America's news punditry.
Robbie's Rundown kicks off the show with the five things you need to know to start your day including a pending winter storm for the area, a potential energy breakthrough being announced later today, former Marine Paul Whelan may be returning home sooner than expected from overseas plus much, much more.
Megyn Kelly is joined by Ambassador Ric Grenell, former acting DNI Director, to discuss the Brittney Griner prisoner swap, the "Merchant of Death" we gave back in return, former Marine Paul Whelan still stuck in Russia, what we know now about "shadowbanning" conservatives and heterodox voices thanks to the "Twitter Files," media reaction to the revelations, and more. Next, Megyn Kelly shares her thoughts on the "Harry and Meghan" Netflix "documentary" in a monologue on playing the victim, and spreading more lies. Then Tom Bower, author of "Revenge," and commentators Sophie Corcoran and Leilani Dowding, join to talk about how boring the "documentary" was, how everyone originally loved Meghan, Meghan's brainwashing of Harry, Netflix's responsibility in surfacing these lies, whether America is being convinced of Meghan's take, the Royal family's potential next steps in responding, the relationship between Harry and William, the nonstop PR tour of Meghan Markle, Meghan's manipulation and control, Meghan's "hatred and jealousy" of Kate Middleton, the role of a public figure, and more.Follow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow
Today, Les, Jess, and Jamil discuss WNBA basketball star Brittney Griner's release from a Russian prison and return to America. Griner was traded for the release of notorious arms merchant Victor Bout. The freedom of Griner has been contrasted by some to former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan's continued detention in Russia.Did Vladimir Putin intentionally give the Biden Administration a difficult choice in this prisoner exchange? Does the U.S. need a regularized process of freeing prisoners? Are prisoner releases overly politicized, or should they be even more politicized?Hear our experts debate these issues and more in our latest episode of Fault Lines!Want to learn more about this topic?

Was Brittney Griner, a WNBA player who has talked down the national anthem, for "The Merchant of Death" Viktor Bout a good trade for Joe Biden and his administration? Nope. This is one of the worst trades "in the history of trades," says Clay. Buck warns it will become an even worse trade if in the future a bomb comes down somewhere in the world due to the connections Bout still has.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: According to a report from Greg Wilson of The Daily Wire, “Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman helped broker the dramatic prisoner swap between the U.S. and Moscow that sprang WNBA star Brittney Griner from a Russian gulag, days after the Biden administration helped spike a lawsuit against the Saudi ruler.” David Whelan, the brother of Marine Paul Whelan who has been wrongfully detained by Russia since 2018, told CNN that he and his family were incredibly happy to see Brittney Griner has been freed, but they obviously remain disappointed that Paul remains imprisoned. Speaking with Martha MacCallum on Fox News, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the U.S. National Security Council John Kirby dismissed the idea that the Griner-Bout prisoner exchange encourages foreign adversaries to abduct Americans. The Biden Administration's foreign policy blunders didn't start with a lopsided prisoner exchange with Russia. The New York Times released a video essay documenting America's abandonment of allies during the August 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan. Despite being over a year later, tens of thousands of Afghan-allies remain stranded—with many being actively hunted by the Taliban.
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: During her Thursday press conference, White House Press Secretary referred to Brittney Griner as an “important role model” and defended the Biden Administration's decision to trade a dangerous arms dealer for a professional athlete in the U.S.-Russia prisoner swap. Will teacher Mark Fogel and Marine Paul Whelan ever be released from their unjust Russian imprisonment? According to a report from The Daily Wire, a professor at Sacramento City College is under an internal investigation for being critical of “gender affirmation” surgeries being performed on children. Disney released the trailer for the new Indiana Jones film: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It doesn't look great…but Rich will see it anyway! Does Discovery's “Shark Week” lack diversity? According to Daniel Wu of The Washington Post, not only does the television event lack diversity, it also emphasizes “negative messages about sharks.”
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/08/2022): 3:00pm- On Tuesday, President Joe Biden announced that his administration successfully negotiated the release of WNBA star Brittney Griner from a Russian detention center. Griner had been accused of carrying illegal vape cartridges. The prisoner swamp involved the Biden Administration agreeing to release Viktor Bout, a Russian arms dealer nicknamed the Merchant of Death. According to reporting from Jim Geraghty of The National Review, “at one point” Bout was “the second-most-wanted man after Osama bin Laden.” 3:15pm- During her Thursday press conference, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended the Biden Administration's decision to trade a dangerous arms dealer for a professional athlete in the U.S.-Russia prisoner swap. 3:35pm- On the U.S.-Russia prisoner swap, National Review's Jim Geraghty writes that other nations may now conclude, “the U.S. government will release anyone under enough pressure.” Does this exchange encourage other adversarial nations to wrongfully imprison American citizens, hoping that it can result in valuable concessions? 3:45pm- While appearing on CNN, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the U.S. National Security Council John Kirby emphasized that Paul Whelan—a Marine imprisoned in Russia—was “never a bargaining chip” for Viktor Bout. Why not? And, after releasing Bout, what bargaining chip does the Biden Administration have to encourage Whelan's release? 4:05pm- According to a report from Greg Wilson of The Daily Wire, “Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman helped broker the dramatic prisoner swap between the U.S. and Moscow that sprang WNBA star Brittney Griner from a Russian gulag, days after the Biden administration helped spike a lawsuit against the Saudi ruler.” 4:15pm- David Whelan, the brother of Marine Paul Whelan who has been wrongfully detained by Russia since 2018, told CNN that he and his family were incredibly happy to see Brittney Griner has been freed, but they obviously remain disappointed that Paul remains imprisoned. 4:40pm- Speaking with Martha MacCallum on Fox News, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the U.S. National Security Council John Kirby dismissed the idea that the Griner-Bout prisoner exchange encourages foreign adversaries to abduct Americans. 4:50pm- The Biden Administration's foreign policy blunders didn't start with a lopsided prisoner exchange with Russia. The New York Times released a video essay documenting America's abandonment of allies during the August 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan. Despite being over a year later, tens of thousands of Afghan-allies remain stranded—with many being actively hunted by the Taliban. 5:00pm- While everyone is happy to see Brittney Griner finally released from an unjust Russian detainment, should the Biden Administration have been able to extract more concessions in exchange for Viktor Bout—an individual who, at one point, was considered the second-most wanted man in the world. Listeners react to the prisoner exchange. 5:15pm- During an interview with Variety, Jennifer Lawrence claimed that Hunger Games was the first time Hollywood featured a female actor in an action film. But what about Sigourney Weaver in Aliens, Linda Hamilton in Terminator, Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider…the list goes on and on... 5:30 pm- On CNBC, Harvard University professor Jason Furman—who served as an Economic Advisor in the Obama Administration—warned that a mild recession is likely to occur soon, though it won't necessarily resolve inflation. 5:50pm- The Mystery Movie Clip: Henry plays the whole movie… 6:05pm- During her Thursday press conference, White House Press Secretary referred to Brittney Griner as an “important role model” and defended the Biden Administration's decision to trade a dangerous arms dealer for a professional athlete in the U.S.-Russia prisoner swap. Will teacher Mark Fogel and Marine Paul Whelan ever be released from their unjust Russian imprisonment? 6:30pm- According to a report from The Daily Wire, a professor at Sacramento City College is under an internal investigation for being critical of “gender affirmation” surgeries being performed on children. 6:45pm- Disney released the trailer for the new Indiana Jones film: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It doesn't look great…but Rich will see it anyway! 6:50pm- Does Discovery's “Shark Week” lack diversity? According to Daniel Wu of The Washington Post, not only does the television event lack diversity, it also emphasizes “negative messages about sharks.”

Evidence for criminal charges is now seen in plain view! There's much more censorship and concealment of free speech by social media that goes far beyond Twitter and Hunter's laptop. Officers of the social media corporations, not just Twitter, have conspired with government to perpetuate an extreme Democrat Liberal agenda. CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST FORMER TWITTER EXECUTIVES ARE NOW A MUST! Do you really think that Donald Trump is now as much a villain as he's been portrayed to be? You may not like what he has said or the way he's said it, but his words and concerns have now proven true! Was Trump used by social media as the intended distraction from the most UNPRECEDENTED CRIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY … A STRUCTURAL SOCIAL MEDIA PUBLIC POLICY RESPONSE by US Congress is now needed. Shadow banning of Charlie Kirk and Dan Bongino is the tip of the iceberg? In 2020 Dr. Jay Bhattacharya warned us that the COVID vaccine could be harmful. He was immediately banned by Twitter. Hypocrisy – Helping Britney Griner get out of Russia and leaving retired Marine Paul Whelan and others go unnoticed! … Another wrong by Joe Biden. Another Democrat leaves the Democrat party. Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema just left the Democrat Party. She's now an Independent. How many more Democrats will walk?“There are only two sides to this question. Every man must be for the United States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war; only patriots and traitors."- Stephen DouglasOriginally Aired: WMXI Radio on Friday, December 9, 2022 at 7:15am CSTSeason 1, Episode 77WMXI Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/NewsRadio981Want More Interviews and TruthCasts?

WNBA star Brittney Griner is due back home in Houston this morning, after she was released from Russian custody in a swap for an arms dealer with six years left on his prison sentence in the US. President Biden said the deal was in the works for several weeks, and that the Russians so far are not willing to deal for ex-Marine Paul Whelan, still held in Russia after four years on what the US calls trumped up spy charges. More packages are around on porches during the holidays, and so, of course, package thefts go up each year at this time. The best advice from experts is to take steps to see that packages do not sit around on your porch for extended periods of time. You can arrange to have them delivered somewhere more safe, or ask a neighbor to take it in as soon as it shows up.

Griner, a prominent basketball player, had been convicted of bringing hash oil into the country. President Biden secured Griner's release by commuting the sentence of Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. The president said Russia refused to release other Americans imprisoned in the country, including former Marine Paul Whelan who Russia convicted of espionage in 2018.

American basketball star Brittney Griner pleaded guilty Thursday to drug possession charges on the second day of her trial in a Russian court in a case that could see her sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.The abrupt guilty plea by the Phoenix Mercury center and two-time Olympic gold medalist came amid a growing chorus of calls for Washington to do more to secure her freedom nearly five months after her arrest in February amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Russia over Ukraine.A senior Russian diplomat said earlier that no action could be taken by Moscow on Griner's case until the trial was over, and her guilty plea could be an effort by her and her advisers to expedite the court proceedings.Griner, 31, was detained at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport while returning to play basketball in Russia, and police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage.Speaking through an interpreter, Griner told the court she had no intention of committing a crime and had acted unintentionally because she had packed for Moscow in a hurry. The trial was then adjourned until July 14.Griner emphasized "that she had committed this act through negligence, unintentionally," her lawyer, Maria Blagovolina, said outside the court in the Moscow suburb of Khimki after the guilty plea."We of course hope for the leniency of the court," she said. "Considering all the circumstances of the case, taking into account the personality of our client, we believe that the admission of guilt should certainly be taken into account."Blagovolina added that other defense witnesses would be questioned at a later session.Griner was escorted to the courtroom in handcuffs and clad in a bright red T-shirt with the name "Crenshaw" and sweat pants. She also held a photo of her wife, Cherelle.U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington would continue to work for the release of Griner, as well as other Americans held by Moscow, including former Marine Paul Whelan."We will not relent until Brittney, Paul Whelan, and all other wrongfully detained Americans are reunited with their loved ones," he tweeted, noting that U.S. Embassy officials attended the trail again Thursday.Elizabeth Rood, the embassy's deputy chief of mission, said after the hearing that she spoke to Griner in the courtroom and shared with her a letter from President Joe Biden that she read."She's eating well, she's able to read books and under the circumstances she's doing well," Rood said."I would like again to emphasize the commitment of the U.S. government at the very highest level to bring home safely Ms. Griner and all U.S. citizens wrongfully detained as well as the commitment of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow to care for and protect the interests of all U.S. citizens detained or imprisoned in Russia," Rood said.Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov bristled at the U.S. description of Griner as "wrongfully detained" and warned that "attempts by the American side to make noise in public ... don't help the practical settlement of issues."The White House said Biden called Cherelle Griner on Wednesday to assure her that he's doing all he can to win her release as soon as possible. They spoke after Biden read a letter from Griner in which she said she feared she'd never return home.Washington hasn't disclosed its strategy in the case and the U.S. may have little leverage with Moscow because of strong animosity over its actions in Ukraine. The State Department's designation of Griner as wrongfully detained moves her case under the supervision of its special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, effectively the government's chief hostage negotiator.Asked about the possibility of Griner being swapped for a Russian jailed in the U.S., Ryabkov, the senior Russian diplomat, noted that until her trial is over "there are no formal or procedural reasons to talk about any...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
