administration there would be no political interference in his fate, in brunson's fate. they said it would be left up to the courts and not treated as a political matter. so for at least today, guys, all signs point to the erdogan team living up to that commitment. this is undoubtedly a great thing for the u.s.-turkish bilat going forward. pete: jillian, thank you very much. some other pressures as well as we talked about a little bit yesterday but no doubt a victory for america, for american citizens abroad, for religious freedom, for the idea that if you're there we're not going to forget about you we had tony perkins on. he is the president of the family research council. he talked about he's met with pastor brunson was a part of the process. he talked about religious freedom. he flew with him from turkey here to the united states, talked about how it can be sacrificed under globalism. listen. >> not only did this administration, this president, send help to pastor brunson and bring him home, but it sent a message of hope to the
it would have to have some type of threat of violence associated with it. >> i'm curious. the release of pastor brunson by the turks. the president said there was no connection. any connection here? could it be this is the turk's way of trying to get on the u.s. side because they want the united states to believe their version of events here. >> i think one can make the argument that the turks are trying to improve relations with the united states, not just for this issue, but also more broadly, particularly on the economic and political front. the coincidence of the two in terms of khashaggi's disappearance and brunson's release is interesting. i don't know what it was that might have been brokered between ankara and washington. >> there's a lot of people who seem to be pretty confident that this was likely an order from mds and the government in saudi arabia. where are you on that? >> two points. if he had disappeared in turkey when at a hotel or public
