President biden and how and whether to engage vladimir putin. in general when he has been asked this question about are you going to talk to him, are you willing to talk to him, he has mostly said, look, i don't want to have a conversation with him unless he is serious about giving signs about wanting to end the war but i thought a really telling moment from earlier this year was in his interview with jake tapper where he was asked would you be willing to have a conversation with putin on the sidelines of the g-20 and he initially said no and then he amended his answer to say i would be willin...

They said they weren't get information from the russian side but they were hoping the prisoner swap would happen. we're going to see if we can get word from them how they feel about all this. one of the things you guys were talking about and we were seeing as well was the russians seemingly becoming more and more open to the swap happening. they are extremely angry at the beginning when the u.s. made public it had put forward a substantial offer and when it came out that viktor boot and griner were part of that, the russians were saying it was counterproductive, they are want everything to hap...

What kind of dangerous precedent could a potential prisoner swap set should russia attempt another prisoner swap in the future? >> so this is playing out pretty much how i thought it would, because brittney griner is such a huge celebrity and has so much pull, it makes it that russia would try to get the biggest player they can and that is viktor boot and they have been telegraphing for months that they want him in exchange for the americans and this is longstanding. so on the other hand, the biden administration has to think about the precedent. and this is for decades a fear of american poli...
