Advisers and the aides working on the border within the white house. youve had those that have argued it does show a message of deterrence and sends a message that could try to deter a surge at the border, which has also been pretty dubious when you talk to career officials down there. title 42 doesnt exactly stop people from coming, it just prevents them from staying in detention facilities in the u.s. and allows border patrol agents to rapidly turn them away but it doesnt stop people from comi...

National focus on her case, made her, in russias eyes, a very valuable negotiating chip. which is why they held out for an exchange with someone like viktor bout. now, they consider paul whelan, who they have charged with espionage, being in a separate category. the russians traditionally have always insisted that individuals involved or alleged to be involved in intelligence activities should be exchanged for others who are similarly charged, for example, in the united states. so, therefore, th...

A negotiating chip and what are horrific thing to do to someone. >> harris: any way that backfires on putin? >> well, this kind of tactic of hostage diplomacy is a longstanding tactic of authoritarian regimes. the iranians have habitually done it. the taliban are doing it. they still have an american that we completely left behind in the withdrawal. maduro regime has american oil workers on house arrest. again we cant let putin dictate the terms. but i do not see us getting back into any kind of...

Global world we can find a way to have a relationship with russia that involves peace and prosperity. >> neil: very quickly, secretary. these peace negotiations tomorrow. the russias want to keep the land that they locked down in the eastern part of the country, parts of the south and that that might be a negotiating chip. by that, they would want to keep that to secure an agreement and walk away. do you think ukraine would accept that? >> i doubt it. i think president zelensky is not particular...

Become a negotiating chip. they dont want it to become a political football every few years where we get into a cycle like this or we see a situation like 2011 where the obama administration gave some on domestic spending so they could get a debt ceiling through. so the white house is raising the alarm bells about this. they are not negotiating. but one thing they really are doing is trying to rachet up the pressure on republicans and let them know, if you stand in the way of the vote, if you do...

Answer this hostage diplomacy situation and resolve it as quickly as possible. so, i would ask president biden to productively discuss and resolve this issue with his russian counterparts. >> reporter: yeah, i think that paul whelan believes hes very much a sort of negotiating chip for the russians to return back some russian prisoners that are in american jails. the problem has always been that the russians in american jails are really high-level criminals. one of them is a convicted cocaine sm...

States. theyve already got high taxes. new york, connecticut, california. it doesnt hurt republicans per se. maybe, just maybe, that could be a negotiating chip as republicans want to do another tax cut into the election. imagine if president trump say to the american public to come up either way, look at tax cuts, the market is at an all-time high. we want to do it again, and this time we will put the onus on households. that puts democrats in the corner from negotiating point of view. >> neil:...

Potent negotiating chip of their own and can essentially say to the brits, look. you give us back our tanker. well give you back yours. >> do you think its going to be effective? >> i think it could well be effective. the british have already said they dont want this to be a military confrontation. they want to settle it by diplomatic means. thats what they want of course. britain is going through a political crisis of its own at the moment, a change of prime minister imminent. the brexit crisis...

British authorities earlier this month. theyve vowed to retaliate and have done that and made a big show of it as well by releasing those images on iranian state television showing the fast attack craft, the revolutionary guard surrounding the tanker and also for images of what appear to be iranian special forces lowering themselves from a helicopter hovering above the ship by rope on to the deck of the tanker to take control of it. also the language the iranians have used very much mirrors the ...
