what did brittney griner's wife say about how the meeting went? >> i got on the phone with brittney brianer's wife for a few minutes. she was appreciative of this meeting. she's been pushing to meet with president biden for months now. she thought that a meeting with biden would be pivotal in the process to bring brittney griner home. and she said she came out of this meeting feeling confident that the biden administration was doing all they could do to bring b.g. home. she said president biden wanted to reassure her and i think the other family members of paul whelan, who he also met with today, that he's committed to making this happen and that he was going to put forward pretty much any effort that it took. but she acknowledged that there have been some setbacks, so road blocks in that process, not the least of which is just the dismal state of u.s./russia relations right now. >> and mrs. griner has been pushing for a face-to-face meeting for a long time. she told you how she felt she needed to speak to the president. does she feel like she got

you might recall that the president did speak with shu rel griner, the wife of brittney griner some time recently, but the white house is emphasizing these meetings today are really meant to emphasize to these family members it is a top priority both for the white house and president biden to get the two of them out of russia, but unfortunately, the news they're going to get today from the president is not going to be exactly what they want to hear. and that is that there's been a breakthrough in some of the negotiations that have been going on to try to get them out. in fact, administration officials have made clear that the offer that was made a number of months ago, remember, the offer was for brittney griner and paul whelan to be exchanged as part of a prisoner swap with a convicted russian arms dealer, and have that be the way to get them out, but there's not been a real response. a serious response from the russians to that offer. now, i did ask john kirby in the white house briefing room just a few minutes ago why exactly there hasn't been a real response to that, and he basically

griner represents. if you want to know why she's incarcerated and not released, it's because of the country of her origin. nothing she can't help. americans blessed under this flag cannot help the values upon which we stand. we cannot help our pledge of allegiance of the united states of america. we cannot help our national anthem. it calls for victory. the star-spangled banner. we cannot help that we are called by nations to defend them. becannot help that we have the -- we cannot help that we have the freedom to travel and that we welcome people to this country, russian students, russian players. even on the space station. that's america. but now we find the dastardly acts of stealing land, calling it election, fighting people who want to be free, ukrainians, and in the midst of this turmoil a young woman graduating in my district from themities -- from nimitz high school, a bella university graduate, two-time olympian and, of course, all her friends in phoenix and just a basic human being. now, i hop
