Brittney Griner Stands for the National Anthem in First Game Back
"I do want to talk about something that really got my attention over the weekend and you brought it up. Brittany griner. To me, her standing for the national anthem in the first game she played since she was detained by the Russians is a really big deal. And it's not worthy of, well, good for her. I hope she figures it out. No. First of all, let's give credit where credit is due. Good for her. And we got to say that. Our side ought to be willing and capable and ready to say that to acknowledge when the left falls on their face and they get up and they do something right. Absolutely. Isn't it great to see Brittany griner finally appreciate the goodness and the greatness of the United States of America. I just love that story. I love that. And some might say, yeah, but look what had to happen to her for her. Whatever. We all, in our lives, have had things that we should have known better, hit rock bottom, something terrible. I mean, the stories of personal redemption stories of political redemption. So if this is what it took to ever develop some grudging, maybe not so grudging. Appreciation of her country, then good for her and you're a 1000% right. I mean, what would we be happier if she remained? Oh, sure. In the America hating stance. If she has found some clarity, if anybody who finds clarity, I just have one thing to say and that's welcome. And it may be momentary, but listen, I'll take it day by day. I'll take it because it is a message to the American hating progressives that even Brittany griner can come around. And she did, and I love that. And I love that part of the story.

Brittney Griner gets emotional discussing Russian detainment
"The WNBA star had to take a moment to compose herself in Phoenix after being asked about her resiliency over the ten months she was in a Russian prison on drug charges. No, I'm no stranger to hard times. Griner was arrested last year at a Moscow airport after Russian authorities said a search of her luggage revealed vape cartridges containing cannabis oil. What did she do to survive? Just dig in deep. Honestly, you know, you're going to be faced with adversities throughout your life. This was a pretty big one. But I just kind of relied on my hard work. Getting through it. Griner was exchanged for a Russian arms dealer in December. She kept a low profile following her return to the U.S.. I'm Ed Donahue

Are the Vaccine Companies Protected? Warner Mendenhall Explains
"Warner taking a step back here is something I'm curious about. Aren't the vaccine companies basically protected or indemnified through an act of Congress in the 1980s, it basically don't all the cases just get put into the vaccine injury recovery fund excuse my lack of precision on the language. But isn't there a taxpayer funded pool of money to solve this? What makes your legal complaints to be able to navigate that? Well, I mean, there is a taxpayer pool of funding, but it's a miniscule, and it hasn't worked ever since it was put into place. So it's clearly not a useful tool for people. Not that they shouldn't try to do it. I think more productively, and we've seen this in the court cases, and we're going to be working through this, our core challenges to the fact that this shot really is not like any quote unquote vaccine that we've ever seen. There's no neutralizing immunity. In fact, it seems as you get more boosters recent studies show that you are more likely to contract COVID or other diseases. So this is not a vaccine in any traditional sense. There is a case out there. It's actually called the grinder case, not to be confused with Brittany griner, but doctor griner brought a lawsuit about the definition of vaccine. So we need to go back to these definitional issues, challenge them, fight these through the courts and get this thing classified as something other than a vaccine because really it's a biological product. That's first. Second. Got it. We need to look at the prep act and the immunity that was put forth by the prep act. We think that that has violated the traditional police powers of the states and the cities in this country. So these are core ideas and core issues that have really changed the functioning of our country.

AOC, GOP Rep. Gosar Talking in House Has Twitter Abuzz
"This article says that Twitter freaks out over AOC, chatting with GOP lawmakers during speaker vote. Somebody made reference that it wasn't on the 2023 bingo card. It says observers tune into the house speakers vote on Tuesday were surprised to find known rivals Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Paul goes off from Arizona, chatting casually in the House chambers. In a clip captured by C-SPAN and Wiley shared online gosar and Ocasio-Cortez seated alongside one another are engaging in what appears to be a friendly conversation during the break after House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy speakership bid fail short of the required 218 votes. The exchange was shocking, largely because of the lawmakers continuous history with one another, which came to a head when gosar tweeted an animation spoof video depicting violence against AOC and President Biden. At the time AOC accused gosar of being a white supremacist. Kosar was censured, censured, which is a different word and censored, censured, and stripped of his committee assignments as a result.

The God Connection
"Ladies and gentlemen, general ladies, welcome back, glory be the God, man. I just, I feel like that there's something moving here. There's something moving here. In the spirit realm, and if you're not paying attention, you're gonna miss it. This is bigger than a football player falling unconscious in front of the world. This is bigger than McCarthy and the Republicans not finding a way to get their stuff figured out. It's something that God is doing and my whole thing is this. You know, this is how I feel about God. And this is how I think that you can judge whether or not you go into the right church or you connected with the kingdom. This is a good indication. I look at God as being the cell phone provider. Think of this follow me. And I believe that God gives cell phone service to those whom follow him and who are called, and that have the spirit of God in them. And when God is ready to do something, he sends out a text message to everybody on the data plan. And if you have a connection with God, you will see that text message come through and you are understand what's happening and what to do about it. I'm telling you right now and I'm declaring right here on the radio that God is doing something right now that you do not want to miss. And let me just take a step back for people who don't believe in God that may be listening to this. Do not believe. The foul idle minds of fools who try to describe God that they have created in their own mind.

Damar Hamlins Charity Foundation Approaching $7 Million in Donations
"I want to give a quick update on the young man demar Hamlin, I don't know why it's so weird for me to say his name. I just don't remember his name doesn't ring in my mind. Like demar Hamlin, it's not like a Ray Lewis or something. It just doesn't ring in my mind. However, his the GoFundMe account, I wish I only go for me, man. God, dang, they bring in the bacon. People, millions of millions of dollars raised over all these platforms, but regardless of that. His GoFundMe is called chasing M's foundation community toy drive. And his original goal was $2500, which is weird as an NFL player. You would think other players would hook you up or something. He ended up raising 10,000, but after this incident, 200, I mean, this is as of, I don't remember when I printed this, but this was like not too long ago that we printed this. Oh, at 9 a.m. this morning. So that was pretty a pretty long time ago. I could probably look up the numbers as of right now, but I mean, he's at 62, $6.2 million raised 205,000 donors. So there's a lot of small donations, and I think the biggest donor was like $20,000 in the course, all the guys in the NFL supported. And I just want to say this because I said this yesterday, but it's been on my heart to say this. It's that God works in mysterious ways. If you can not, if you can not see that this is a God thing, then I think you are not in a position to kiss the blessings of God when they come through.

Cori Bush Says Republicans Are Using Byron Donalds As Prop
"My producer of God man just send me something that Cory Bush said, that lady is a complete trampoline. She's a trampoline, okay? Y'all thought I was gonna call it a T word. I want to, but I ain't because I'm a Christian. But this trampoline had the nerve to proclaim that Byron Donald is an Uncle Tom upholding white supremacy. These people are completely stupid. And can I just say that, I can not just say it how I feel it, they're completely stupid. You know, and this is one of the things that as a black man, you have to deal with the racism of the Democrat party, not only from black from white people, you gotta deal with it from black people. People are voting for Byron Donald because they feel like he can give them a great opportunity to Speaker of the House. Let me just say this. I don't know Byron Donald has experience, but the boy know what he's talking about. You may want somebody with more tenure, I don't know. But he knows what he's talking about. He's confident he's smart. He's bold. I wouldn't mind having him as a Speaker of the House. But people are voting for him in the course of Democrats or afraid. What are they afraid of, mister Tatum? They are afraid of a powerful black man. Who can get in there and set the record straight on the Republican side. Because they've been lying to black people for centuries.

Who Are the Republicans Against McCarthy
"If your constituency don't want you to vote for McCarthy, you don't vote for McCarthy. And if a Republican person can not come together and get votes on both sides or enough votes to win, then he can't win. You know, it's interesting that the people who have decided not to vote for McCarthy. Because if you look at the state of Arizona, I think all of our representatives. Andy Biggs, Eli crane, who else we got Paul gosar, which was people that I think very highly of. So majority of our representatives is against him. Matt Gaetz Byron Donald is now again some unapologetic. From Florida, chip Roy from Texas, some of the notable name people, I don't really know the rest of these people as well, Lauren boebert, from Colorado, you know, you got one, that's if you go with the state of Arizona, you got one, two, three people from the state of Arizona. You got one, two, it looked like two or three people from that are floridians. They're from Texas, you got at least four people from Texas on this list. A three or four people from Texas, it seems like there's a consistency here in certain states that do not want McCarthy to be the speaker.

McCarthy Loses Sixth Speaker Vote
"We still do not have the Speaker of the House. There's so many mixed emotions, so many makes feelings when it comes to McCarthy, and I'm gonna tell you guys the truth, nothing but the truth so help me God. I have no idea. What's going on on this? I don't understand because I see Republicans whom I respect that are saying. McCarthy is not the option. He's a rhino. He's not going to do what's best for the party. In protest, they're not voting for him. And I also have Republicans that I respect are saying vote for McCarthy. He's a good guy. He's the one for us. When you look on social media, you will see that 90 percent of people on social media is given the middle finger to McCarthy. But 90% or 80% are probably around 85, 90% of politicians are in support of Kevin McCarthy. I have no idea what the thing. I have no idea what to believe. Byron Donald is one of my favorite representatives. And he don't support McCarthy. And I think he's a rational reasonable person. I hear his testimony. He don't support it. Jim Jordan is one of my favorites as well. He supports McCarthy. Donald Trump came out in a lengthy statement on true social and made mention that we need to come together as a party. This is pretty much embarrassing and we need to get behind McCarthy. But I thought McCarthy was establishment just like Mitch McConnell. So what do you believe? What is the truth?

"On the latest edition of balance of power, a conversation with former defense secretary William Cohen, about the Britney griner prisoner swap, and the question why Paul Whelan was left behind. Whenever we are forward deployed in any country in the world, you could have radical groups seizing one of the Americans and either torture them or try to use them as some sort of a bargaining tool. So that's something that has been out there. We'll probably be out there in the future. But in terms of this exchange, I want to congratulate the Biden administration for getting Brittany back. Number two to congratulate the weyland family because they really have tried to take the politics out of this by saying that I wish we could have gotten our brother back. It was better that we got Brittany yelled that that was the only deal possible. The tougher part would have been if Putin had said, you get one back. You pick which one you're going to get back. That would have been a tougher situation. So I think the weyland family said we don't want to happy. We are disappointed, but we understand and we support what the Biden administration did. And I think that should try to take the politics out of it, where Republicans are saying, well, this really rewards Putin. He's stronger. He's not stronger. He's weak. And we ought to stop saying how strong he is and building Russia up. Russia is the enemy of freedom and liberty for individuals. And we're seeing that play out. They just arrested a navy. And they put them in prison for 8 and a half, 9 years for what? Because he was critical of the war in Ukraine. So that tells you what Russia tells you how weak Putin is that he can't afford to have anybody say, number one, it's a war, but number two that we're losing. So that talks to me about weakness upstream

The House Passes the Respect for Marriage Act
"The marriage act. The respect for marriage act. That is now passed a bunch of cowards and now going into Joe Biden's desk where he will stumble over there and scribble something on a piece of paper to make it into effect. This is my whole thing here. Marriage between two men is not a marriage. That's not marriage. That's called a relationship. And in America, you can have a relationship if you want to. You can do whatever you want to do. But that's not marriage. You can call it whatever you want to call it, but it's not marriage. Marriage is between a man and a woman. And, you know, it bothers me that we just go down and slippery slope. The further we go, the further into the battery we get. Just like a marriage between 30 year old and a 16 year old ain't a marriage. That's not marriage. You can't marry a minor. In some cases, they let people marry minus. But generally speaking, you can't marry a minor. You can't marry a kid. Some things, I think should be preserved in a conservative manner. Because this is what's going to happen. When they get out here and they go marriage between two men is a law. What's going to happen if they go to your church and they say, I want you to marry me and my husband. And according to the Bible, two men shall not be together. Especially not in marriage, according to the Bible. Don't get mad at me. I didn't write the Bible.

Candace Owens' Court Battle Is Officially Over
"I got some people calling in let me see what they talking about. But I want to give Candace Owens to shout out. For winning that court case against fraudulent fake black Republican candidate Kimberly klacik. Kimberly klacik sued Candace Owens for $20 million because Candace Owens exposed to her regarding her FEC reports. And I said, exposed her meaning she just asked the questions, why are you spending this distance and as a politician because according to your FEC reports, this seems suspicious. Instead of coming back and saying, hey, let me explain these things. Let's have a conversation. Let me explain them or whatever. You don't have to have a conversation.

Micah Parsons Apologizes After Viral Tweets About Brittney Griner
"The NFL linebacker, mister Parsons, who was a tremendous football player, mind you. But I want to go back over to stuff that he said because in my mind, I'm thinking, why did he apologize? And then it's like, everybody's apology is dead. I communicated with somebody that I respect. Why can't you communicate with somebody respect, but still disagree with them? I don't think he should have apologized for this. And let me read his tweets again. He said, wait, no. We left the marine. And then he goes on to write, we still not voting for you. It's what parson said in a tweet for Joe Biden. Because I believe he had the wisdom to say, we got her, but didn't get a marine. You're doing this for votes. From black people. This is one of them cares you can dangle over the black man head and say, look what we did for y'all. Now we get y'all votes for another 20 years. But Parsons in my opinion had an educated opinion about it. And he made a statement that I believe that is a sentiment of many people in this country. But then, somebody, some woke black dude, veteran, somebody on this team, or somebody stupid, I wouldn't say stupid, but somebody who's who I think is less bold about the statements that they make, must've told him he better apologize or else. He said I just spoke, this is the tweet he wrote after he deleted his other tweets. Just spoke to some people that I respect and trust, I should have been more educated on the topic and not tweeted out of emotion for my family and others who have served. For that I apologize, he goes on to say, also, if what I've been told about also, if what I'm told about the attempts to bring the marine home are true, then the best outcome was accomplished. I pray mister Whelan comes home, but I'm extremely happy for Britney and our family. I am not too prideful to admit when I made a mistake. I respect what he said, but you didn't make a mistake. You know what? You don't have to delete what you said. You can add context to what you said.

"Latest edition of balance of power, a conversation with former Homeland Security secretary Jay Johnson, on the release of Brittany griner. When I was general counsel of the Department of Defense, I was frequently involved, usually on the margins in discussions over releases of Guantanamo detainees, exchanges, sometimes these are often conducted through the State Department, could be conducted through the Defense Department. We're hearing the intelligence community here. And the thing to remember about these types of situations, and many people will second guess exchanging Britney griner for a hardened, dangerous arms dealer who's in jail for a long time who was lawfully and rightly convicted of something. We have an American citizen who was imprisoned for a period of 9 years for something that wouldn't even be a crime in the United States. Should we hold against her the fact that the person on the other side of the equation was rightfully convicted for something very dangerous. I say no. And there are many considerations, foreign policy considerations, national security considerations. It's a multi dimensional context. So it's difficult to second guess this. And Americans, specifically in members of Congress, I should hesitate to second guess this type of diplomacy. Is this a matter of national security or humanitarian concerns? I would say, David, all of the above. Russia, of course, is in the midst of its illegal war in Ukraine. And how we view that situation from the national security perspective, the fact that the Russians have Brittany griner is no longer part of that equation. So in that respect, enhances our national security picture. Catch more of this and other conversations on today's edition of the balance of power podcast.

"Brittany griner now and turn to somebody who has run the Defense Department itself who's been responsible for our national defense. Mark Esper. He served as Secretary of Defense under president Trump and wrote a book about that experience, a sacred oath, memoirs of a Secretary of Defense during extraordinary times. So mister secretary, thank you so much for being with us. We have some people really questioning. Second guessing this decision, particularly because we did leave a marine behind, so to speak, as well as releasing a fairly dangerous arms dealer. What do you make of it? Are they right to second guess what happened here? Or is it just the right thing to do? Well, I think you're right in many ways. We were very happy that Brittany grinder is coming home. It's good. I'm happy for her and her family. But very disappointed for Paul weyland and his family that he's left behind. And as you said, a former marine. And Vladimir Putin got quite a trade for this. He got a renowned international arms dealer convicted felon who was conspiring to kill Americans. So I think we need to we need to learn more about what happened and why Paul welling was left behind. And then for me, the bigger question is, why did Putin cut this deal now? What did he get out of it? He clearly saw a moment to put this on the table and is it more than just showing goodwill before the holidays would convict her boots somehow help him gain the arms material that he desperately needs to continue the warm Ukraine. I don't know, but we need to dig a little bit deeper on that front as well. Well, that's a fascinating suggestion. I have not seen yet. Because mister boot evidently was a fairly successful if I can use that term, arms dealer. He got a lot of arms into a lot of places he wasn't supposed to be getting arms in. That's why he went to prison in the United States. Is there a chance that he could make a material difference in Vladimir Putin's access to army because there are reports that he's running short? Well, maybe. I mean, we know that Vladimir Putin is running out of men, material, ammunition, and weapons. And if somehow, Victor boot has a special skill in the relationships to help get these types of things from other countries such as North Korea, Iran elsewhere, then maybe it helps his tactical game plan in Ukraine. So we don't know. That's what I want to know is why he cut this deal now. It's worth digging into. It may help explain a few things with regard to Vladimir Putin's broader strategy. Mister secretary, let's turn to the broader issue of the war in Ukraine. One of the developments this week has been reports of tax on three different Russian bases inside of Russia. Now, as I understand Ukraine is not claimed credit so to speak for it, apparently they were done with drones, but is this escalating it in a constructive way or is this really making things even more difficult? You saw president Putin come out and start talking about nuclear weapons again. I think it's great for the Ukrainians. I think it bolsters their morale. It shows they're a building that's to strike deep into Russia. I think it continues to chip away at the Putin's reputation both internationally and at home and for all those reasons. I think it's good. I think it's great that Ukraine has taken the fight to Russia. And keeping them off balance. And at the same time, they're pressing the initiative in both the Don bass and towards Crimea. So, and then the third component of this, it shows the west, particularly the Europeans that Ukrainians can make progress and can win this war. And I felt from the beginning that they can definitely win this war. Is that right? And what does win this war mean? I mean, do you really mean Russia troops are out of all of what is Ukraine, including Crimea? I mean, what is a win from the Ukrainian side? Well, from my perspective, I would love to see Russian troops out of all of Ukraine to include Crimea. And I like to see them meet the other conditions that followed more zelensky, the president of Ukraine had put on the Russians, but look the Ukrainians have to define at the end of the day what success looks like, but that's what I would hope is would be the complete restoration of Ukraine's territorial sovereignty going back to the pre 2014 invasion. As we go into the winter, there is a lot of concern about it being a very difficult winter for the Ukrainians. Particularly as the Russians continue their attacks on the power grid and we keep trying to send a generators and transformers in. Do we have the capability to give them the ability to really resist those missile and other attacks? We do. We've been late. And I've been saying this for weeks, if not months, that we should be providing them all types of air defense systems to include other weapons systems, more loitering, munitions, tanks, fixed wing aircraft, but that we've been woefully behind in terms of getting the air defense tools that they need to defend civilian populations, which of Vladimir Putin is targeting now civilian infrastructure that he's targeting specifically energy to make sure that it's a cold, dark winter, long winter for the Ukrainians. At the same time, we've got to continue to provide the means for the Ukraine to carry on with the offense because look, I know winter is tough, but this is momentum is on the Ukrainian side. And I would encourage them to press the offensive through the winter. Do they have the momentum right now as far as you can tell? I do. I mean, it's obviously slowed a little bit as they've increasingly onto Russian defensive positions, but they still have some momentum. They should pick it up. I think, again, when you hit winter months in tough weather, the will, the soldier becomes important. And clearly, the Ukrainians have more will, more toughness and eagerness to take the fight to the Russians than the Russians due to the Ukrainians. So I would capitalize on that and press the offensive here in the winter months. Okay, mister secretary, I really appreciate you being back with us. That is Mark Esper former U.S. Secretary of Defense. And now we want to keep you up to date on news from all around the world, for that we turn to Mark crumpton here

This is Bloomberg law with June Grasso from Bloomberg radio. Three abortion rights protesters were arrested and charged on Wednesday after interrupting Supreme Court oral arguments to blast the court's ruling overturning roe versus wade and to call on women to vote in next week's election. But poll after poll shows that abortion is not the top issue on voters minds. The economy is. Joining me is Jeannie Chan Zeno, Bloomberg politics contributor and a professor at iona college. How much did the Democrats place their bets on the election being a referendum on abortion rights? Did they place too many bets on that? They did. If you look just at say the number of ads, Democrats were running throughout this summer into the early fall on abortion. They put all of their eggs or many of their eggs in that basket. And the reality is, it is an issue that's important. It's an issue that's important to get out their base. It's an issue that will help them save off what could be a really, really tough election season for them, but it was never going to be enough to turn this over in their favor. And that's where I think they miscalculated and you know, we'll have to wait and see what happens, but that's where I believe we may see next week that they miscalculated on this. Does it appeal to the base? Will it get the base out? It will absolutely get the base out. And this, I think, is really important. When you look overall, they should not just put all their eggs in the abortion basket, but as you look at individual state, things like a place like Michigan or Wisconsin or Pennsylvania, and you look at some aspects of their base, in particularly young women, 18 to 24 year olds, or 18 to even 29 or 35. If it helps to get that base out in those states and amongst those constituencies, it'll be incredibly important. And you add on to that, this election is in many places as close as we think it's going to be every single vote matters. So, you know, the reality is it's something they definitely have to push on. But the other reality is that by and large, the voters agree with Democrats on this issue. So they need to bust risk their push on abortion with their push on the cost of living inflation and economic issues, which are overwhelmingly the most important issue in every voter's mind. And how have Democrats been handling those issues because no matter what the cause of inflation is, and the economy, the party in charge gets blamed for it. They do get blamed for it. And you know, I think one thing putting my critics had on for a minute is that Democrats have not had a concerted strategy from the top to address these issues. And just as an example, you know, throughout much of the summer, even into the early fall for a certain to a certain extent, the Biden administration was trying to, you know, at first it was trying to say that inflation would be transitory. Next, it sort of morphed into the economy is better than you think. Just look at the job numbers. You know, inflation wasn't transitory as it turns out, and the job numbers they're right are good, but any time you're in a campaign and your message to voters is you're wrong about how you feel, that's a losing message. And all of the voters and the people responding to polls were telling pollsters telling us that they are deeply worried about their economic situation, the cost of living is getting worse and worse or concerned about inflation. So when from the top, the messages either, this isn't happening or morphing into, it's better than you think. That's a problem for Democrats. And so of late they have tried to adjust that. I noticed just as an example in the Georgia debate between Warnock and walker, I thought worn out did a good job of defending what Democrats have done. And this is what they have to do. They have to say number one, this is what we've done. For example, on the cost of pharmaceuticals, we passed a bill that's bringing those down. Would you have voted against that, mister walker? That's basically what he said. So they have to defend what they've done. And then they also have to look at in contract with what Republicans plan to do. There's either not a concerted plan in that arena, or there are really dangerous signs. Like you hear about Rick Scott, for instance, talking about sun setting out social security, Medicare, Medicaid, you can talk about those things that Democrats have tried

"Is Bloomberg. Bloomberg opinion informed perspectives and experts data driven commentary on breaking news. From Bloomberg's European headquarters here in London is currently 9 20 a.m., so it's time for our Bloomberg opinion slot and this is totally fascinating. AMT D digital. It has been in so many headlines this week. Why? Because a company that basically hardly anyone had heard of a few days ago became one of the most valuable firms in the world this week. It's pretty baffling inexplicable Bloomberg opinions Matthew brooker joins us. And actually, Matthew, you say that it's not that strange, explain what is the story behind this name. Well, it's a completely crazy story if you ask me. I mean, it's a this is a three year old Hong Kong FinTech company that's got Phil had 50 employees as of the end of February is based, I think, on a single floor of an office building down the road here in central Hong Kong. And they listed in the U.S. last month, pro about mid July, and their stock has gone up. I think it was about 32,000% at the very peak, which gave them a market cap of 470 billion to put that in some kind of context that would rank them among the ten most valuable publicly traded companies in the world. There is no there is no story behind it, really, because it's very difficult to give up to find any kind of rationale why this should have happened. So is this GameStop on steroids or is that not a useful comparison? Well, you know, there's been a lot of publicity, obviously, around the AMT digital rally. And a lot of people have compared it to GameStop, and there are, there are some very striking parallels. I mean, a kind of unknown name with a not particularly exciting or promising business behind it, suddenly going into the stratosphere for no apparent reason. That is, that is kind of GameStop. That's an AMC and all these other meme stocks. And the difference here is that we haven't really seen the kind of retail investor frenzy that accompanied those episodes. Sure, or like a trail on the Internet online of why it's kind of happening in the forums where the tips and the traders were talking to each other, which is so interesting and why this is like such an unexplained phenomenon. I suppose with that, do you think we may see more of these Chinese Hong Kong firms than listing in the U.S. and seeing big moves could more be in the work? Yeah, I mean, it's not been it's not been unknown in the past. This is just a really, really extreme case, probably the most extreme case. We've ever seen. But certainly, it's kind of surprising in a way that Hong Kong Chinese stocks haven't found the meme stock bang bandwagon already because you can point to any number of quite notorious cases in the Hong Kong stock market of companies that make very strange and quite suspicious moves and acquire huge market caps that don't appear to have any basis behind them and then at some point suddenly collapse. So we know that there are these things do happen around here quite regularly. It's just quite more unusual to see it happening in the U.S., which most people would think has got a higher standards of corporate governance and more strictly regulated.

"Star Brittany griner has been detained in Russia for more than a month Authorities say they found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage during a search on airport near Moscow The State Department has said little about grinders detention Here's Secretary of State Antony Blinken Whenever an American is detained anywhere in the world we of course stand ready to provide every possible assistance And that includes in Russia Many are concerned that increased tensions over Russia's invasion of Ukraine will affect grinder's case Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee represents the district griner is from We know that we have to move on her situation She is in a circumstance that would generate a ten year sentence Many of us believe that this is unwarranted Joining me is Jeffrey Kahn a professor at SMU law school Comparing the Russian legal system to the American legal system Is it like night and day I wouldn't say it's like night and day anymore but there are some really substantial differences We are familiar with the American conception of criminal justice You could call this an adversarial system The idea is that each side presents its version of the truth by conducting its own independent investigations gathering its own witnesses with a variety of procedural protections especially for the defense but nothing really counts as evidence unless it's been presented at trial And so the trial is the focus of our criminal justice system It's a very dramatic event And that's probably why we have so many American movies that center on trials You're just not going to see the same sort of movies in Russia that focus on the trial And that's because there's a different fundamental concept at the base of that criminal justice system And that is that the search for objective truth is too important to leave to either of the parties These are biased sources by definition And so the state has to be in control of the search for truth And that means the state has a special official called the investigator the sled of Otto who will conduct a pretrial investigation to gather exculpatory and inculpatory information to be used by both sides the prosecutor and the defense The trial is really a verification to make sure that the investigator has done a proper job followed all the procedures and that the evidence that has been collected in what's called a case file has been verified That means that a trial is a much duller affair than the sensational drama of a Perry Mason moment in an American adversarial proceeding And perhaps not much question about the outcome either the acquittal rate in Russian cases is less than 1% I will say that acquittals are very very unusual And also in the case file I would say is king If it's not in the case file it doesn't exist in the world And so that means that once you get to trial it can almost be too late The savvy defense attorney is going to work hard to make sure that the case file presents all the information that needs to be presented and that information that is damaging to the defendant or has been collected in an improper way is excluded from the case file But there's a heavy thumb on the scales of justice that is placed there by the state which is in control of the case file And the connection between the investigator and the prosecutor is a much stronger one than the connection between the investigator and the defense attorney I've heard experts say that once someone gets arrested in Russia it's nearly impossible to get them out from behind bars I don't know that I have enough data to affirm that conclusion but I will say that a lot of experts have come to a conclusion that Russia operates what you could call a dual state On the one hand the criminal justice system can perform professionally efficiently and even fairly in the mine run of cases ordinary cases of no concern to the state But when the state takes an interest in a particular case or in a more corrupt manner individual oligarchs or people with power taken interest in a particular case that case can metaphorically move over to a political side of the docket where it's very very difficult to get a result that solely based on law There is much more concern for political influence in particular cases And that brings us to the very high profile case of Brittany griner who has been given a Russian lawyer and I suppose we have to assume that the state investigator is putting together that case file but a Russian court has extended her detention already until May 19th Many fear that she's a political pawn Well I really can't say whether this is some sort of a setup as some defendants in the Russian criminal justice system have accused the state of setting them up or if this is simply a case of someone coming into the country and being accused of a crime at a time when we are at a high moment of political tension because of the terrible events happening with the Russian invasion of Ukraine We'll have to wait and see it could be a long road ahead and certainly a tough road ahead if she is in a pretrial detention facility in Russia that are very unpleasant place to be The next pictures that we might see of her would show her behind a cage in a Russian courtroom that certainly deeply concerning Thanks Jeff That's Jeffrey Kahn of SMU law school Coming up
