In this episode, I discuss the recent release of American hostage Brittany Griner and Paul Whelan, and how this sets a dangerous precedent for American hostages held overseas. I don t think we should be happy to have them back, and I don't think it's a good idea to release them in order to satisfy the PC police, the media, and the "woke" liberal establishment. I think this is a terrible idea, and it sets a terrible precedent for Americans held overseas, and sets a bad example for other countries looking to get their own American friends back. I hope you enjoy this episode and share it with your friends, family, and loved ones! Tweet me if you have any thoughts or opinions on this, or any other hostage situation, and we ll be sure to get them on the show!

00:00:00.000Well guys, I liked it a lot better when our president got back American hostages without giving up anything.
00:00:06.000And especially without giving up international arms dealers.
00:00:13.000People who are serving time for conspiring to kill Americans and working with terrorist organizations.
00:00:21.000Remember when President Trump freed three students from China?
00:00:24.000Yeah. Didn't give up a Chinese arms dealer to get that.
00:00:27.000He got three Americans freed from North Korea.
00:00:30.000Didn't give North Korea their wish list.
00:00:33.000Just got them. He freed two people from Egypt, Aya Hijad and her husband.
00:00:40.000Didn't trade them an Egyptian arms dealer or a terrorist or someone who would then go back to work for those regimes against American interests, right?
00:00:48.000So we gave Russia their biggest arms dealer back in exchange for Brittany Griner, an American hating activist.
00:00:54.000But again, like, you know, it's probably a great trade, right?
00:00:57.000That guy The merchant of death is probably, as we speak, starting work arming Russian troops in Ukraine.
00:01:05.000So we are literally freeing a Russian arms dealer while simultaneously spending billions upon billions of dollars arming the Ukraine, sending them billions.
00:01:17.000So now we're giving their enemy one of the most notorious arms dealers in the world.
00:01:21.000I'm sure there won't be a problem there.
00:01:55.000But again, our enemies have now been emboldened.
00:01:58.000Our enemies, not just Russia, see that, hey, if you kidnap someone in America and they check off a bunch of the boxes and they can be woke, media heroes love, we can get America to do anything.
00:02:10.000Remember, I thought we didn't deal with terrorists, but that's basically what we're doing here.
00:02:14.000Now, of course, we don't get back The Marine, right?
00:02:20.000I'll say probably because they'll say, no, that's not accurate.
00:02:23.000So in my opinion, you know, we didn't get back the guy that was a cop for 15 years that enlisted in the Marines in the mid-90s that deployed to Iraq in 2004.
00:02:49.000And we're emboldening our enemies to capture Americans, to hold them under dubious charges, as they did with both Brittany and Paul, obviously.
00:02:59.000I don't think it's crazy, but I do think there's a level of arrogance that probably Brittany Griner had going into Russia thinking she could get away with these things.
00:03:06.000Because in America, as a female celebrity, minority, lesbian, She's probably and can probably felt and probably could actually be above the law, right?
00:03:20.000Paul Whelan, he's not going to get those benefits.
00:03:23.000You know, that's... He's just a Marine.
00:04:02.000I imagine it's going to create a lot more issues for Americans.
00:04:05.000Abroad in the coming years when they know they can take advantage of these systems and really parlay that into huge wins for themselves, their governments freeing their scumbag buddies all around the world.
