Stripe trying to support paul. we dont have the backing of a large sports conglomerate or media, you know, um media moguls, and that sort of thing, um, you know, and were glad to see that evan is getting so much support right out of the gate. and we hope that, um, that folks remember that you know for an ordinary family like like us and our brother who doesnt necessarily have all that shame, backing that those letters that youre sending those those messages are worth so much to him and thank you...

Russian citizens informing on each other like they did during the soviet times and then the third thing that i think we are seeing here and its a longer element of tragic story because evan was -- is going to be convicted im sure on espionage charges, vladimir putin is going to want to strike a deal to get one of his own guys out who has been detained and arrested for espionage charges and that might be sergey, intelligence officer who was arrested in brazil. hes been indicted by our doj and may...

Hopkins all part of russian effort to spy on us and because of that arrest, they went and ga--grabbed evan? >> yeah, this is obviously the way that vladimir putin would like to portray these two cases. obviously theres -- they have nothing in common whatsoever. evan is -- certainly wasnt conducting anything close to spying. he was doing his job as journalist but putin sees the world as chess board and hes going the want to take two of the same pieces off the board and hes going to want to establ...

This stage is extremely troubling that he has been charged with espionage. espionage trials typically take place without any, um, transparency very rarely end in acquittal. um, we are waiting to see if this arrest and detention is a ploy by russia to get something out of the u. s we dont yet know if theyre going to ask for some kind of prisoners. what but you know it is a very troubling situation and he could be there. you know, the trial is not expected until may certainly could be there at lea...

Investigation. the case, the environment will go before him. now theres still a lot of details that will need to be worked out. people familiar with this arrangement are saying that they expect it will be handled like a regular arrangement. of course, the security is, evan explained, will be heightened and there will be different precautions that we see that in other cases, but he will still come in and we still be processed. he will still be fingerprinted, and he will go before this judge and b...

Front lines. very brave. i think the white house, based on what we have heard so far, has to come out with much stronger language publicly about his case. >> kayleigh: and actions. to the point of the former vice president. this headline from a guardian kind of puts you in the space of what russian media is like. to defeat putin we must support the brave russian journalist. evan was an american journalist. but telling the truth. there is another critical confrontation which the kremlin has super...

I dont think at this point that it is a good idea. personal opinion, uh, to kick out russian journalists. we have heard a lot of rhetoric from different parts, different ministries and officials in moscow. but russia we understand hasnt officially notified the u. s that gersh covic has been detained. us. officials from the embassy certainly have not been given consular access to the young reporter. given the climate that were in a horrible relationship between the us and russia right now, do you...

I think this young man would prefer. he has lived there for six years and his parents are of russian birth. he felt comfortable, may be too comfortable there. a lot of people have left but we have to be able to cover this war and cover russia and all of these instances. very, very serious situation. he must be returned immediately. >> kayleigh: evans last headline was "russias economy is starting to come undone." that seems to be what putin was going after. >> bill: i agree with you entirely. of...

State secrets about a military industrial complex agency. he was doing it at the behest of the united states. we have a statement from "the wall street journal." they say in part, "the wall street journal preeminently denies the allegations from the fsb and seeks the immediate release of our trusted and dedicated reporter, evan. we stand in solidarity with his family." and a lot of tensions between russia and the united states concerning the war in ukraine. this is just one more sign of that. if...
