1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: The Jewel Show on demand. Some major news just broke.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: It's The Jewel Show. Brittany Griner, you guys, the WNBA superstar.

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: She plays overseas, now played overseas. She played for the

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: Phoenix Mercury. Huge celebrity, obviously huge athlete in America. If

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: you haven't been following along, she was detained in Russia

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year in February because she

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: had point seven grahams of hashol on her, which you know,

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: people walk around the United States with vape pins all

9
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: the time, and wheat is legal in a lot of states.

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: She had point seven grahams, thank you Christian, not even

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: an entire cartridge, people, not even entire cartridge from a

12
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: vapin of hash oil. And she was detained at the

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: airport in Russia. They just announced that she has been

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: sentenced to nine years nine nine years almost the charges drugs,

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: smuggling and possession, like so intense of a charge for

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: point seven grams of wheat. And this is a big

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: deal between the US and Russia because Britney Grinder is

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: a celebrity from the US. She was detained in Russia,

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: like we've said, just got nine years in prison. A

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: lot of people believe that she was being used as

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: a political pond though, right because it's a high profile

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: person from America that they arrested at the airport with

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: a very very small amount of hash oil, but that

24
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: they could use her against us because of sanctions that

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: we have on Russia because of the war in the Ukraine.

26
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: So this is all a bigger political thing. I couldn't

27
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: imagine being Brittany Grinder and going, Wow, not only is

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: it ridiculous that I got this much time for point

29
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: seven grams of hash oil? Also I'm being used politically

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: by a whole country against our country. That would be

31
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: such a hard position to be in. Their Biden administration

32
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: has obviously been facing a lot of pressure from the

33
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: public to be like, look, we've got to do something,

34
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: and they did offer up to do a prisoner swap.

35
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: Basically they could give us Brittany back and then one

36
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: other additional I think they have like a political person

37
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: over there that they have jailed, that we would give

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: them someone back. I think this kind of stuff happens

39
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: a lot between countries that you don't even hear about.

40
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: You just hear about it when it's somebody that's a

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: higher profile person like Britney Griner. This is someone's life,

42
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: Like literally, this is ten years of her life that's

43
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: being taken away because you want to see her play

44
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: trading cards for politics. It's ridiculous. I'm crazy, and she's

45
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: married and I can't even imagine if we got her back, though,

46
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: then would we just release her? Sense? I think so?

47
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess she would be free to live

48
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: about her life. I mean, what she did is legal

49
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: here in the United States in most places, right, I

50
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: think you would probably just get released. Although I don't

51
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: think it's going to be that easy to get her back.

52
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: A lot of the experts say, and they've been saying

53
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: this whole time, that the US needs to do something

54
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: because once she is actually charged and gets prison time,

55
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be harder than we think to get her back.

56
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: But see, that was the hard part because Russia said, yes,

57
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: we see the offer that you put up, but we're

58
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: not willing to negotiate or consider it until the verdict

59
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: is in. Now that the verdict is in, President Joe

60
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: Biden did release a statement almost immediately after she was sentenced, saying,

61
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: today Americans in Brittany grinder received a prison sentence. That

62
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: is one more minder of what the world already knew.

63
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: Russia is wrongfully detaining her. It is unacceptable now calling

64
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: Russia to release her immediately so she can be with

65
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: her wife, loved ones, friends, and teammates. So let us

66
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: just hope that there's action behind those words and that

67
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: the administration is going to be doing everything they can

68
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: to bring her home. But it is crazy, though, to

69
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: be in the middle of this whole thing, because Putin

70
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: and Russia they've been trying to get at the US

71
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: for a long time to try to get us to react. Right,

72
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: they're basically the world's bully right now, we're one of

73
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: the world's powers too, and they're doing all of the

74
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: things that bullies do to try to get you to

75
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: jump so that you can get involved in an altercation

76
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: with them. And then there are people from America who go, well,

77
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: that's their laws, it is, but come on, point seven

78
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: grams of hashlow, even if you're not pro marijuana, nine

79
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: years in prison smuggling, Like, how long is that cart

80
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: is gonna last you? I mean, I know for a

81
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: day saying smuggling? What we just got a text from

82
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: Red the Chicken Man at four one oh six one.

83
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: He said that she should have known it's illegal there.

84
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: She should have cleaned out her bag before going through

85
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: the airport yea and checking out. No one's saying it

86
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: wasn't wrong. It's just the sentence was too much, you know. Yeah,

87
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: I think this is a tech This is producer Brad

88
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: by the way. I think this is a technicality that

89
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: is going to have long term repercussions because yes, she

90
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: was wrong. Technically, Russia hasn't done anything wrong with this

91
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: situation in all technical speaking. Okay, they have their laws,

92
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: we have ours. Whether it's right or wrong is really

93
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: not up to us. The problem is things are heating

94
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: up in China because we have some things going on

95
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: to Taiwan right now. Russia obviously has the war in Ukraine.

96
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: Things with China and Russia both heating up at the

97
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: same time is problematic, and we as a country need

98
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: to be paying attention to stuff. This is not about

99
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: a spoiled kid who did some stuff with some hash oil.

100
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: This is about Cold War number two. And I don't

101
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: want to be I don't want to be like crazy,

102
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: like oh and the Cold War's coming. This is exactly

103
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: how these things begin, and this is going to be

104
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: something that we are going to deal with for years

105
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: to come, whether we get her back or not. They're

106
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: doing all the things they can to try to get

107
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: the U. And that's why it's so hard to be

108
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: the US in this situation, is because they're like basically

109
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: coming for us economically with sanctions and then things like

110
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: this just to try to get us to do something.

111
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: So what do you really have no choice but to

112
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: let Britney grinders sit in the jail cell and then

113
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: try to figure it out. And that's sad. Let's all

114
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: just manifest have the same thoughts of getting Brittany back.

115
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: So let's all manifest her over the next however long

116
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: it takes to just think about her being back in

117
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: the US. Yes, her family exactly. And when we do

118
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: get her back, as soon as she steps off of

119
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: Air Force one, they have to play that it's Brittany.
