Well, I agree with you about forgotten Americans who have either been held hostage by authoritarian governments abroad. It's terrible. So when I see that photo of Mark Fogel kissing the ground, kissing America, essentially, it's an emotional moment.

And this is one of the good things that the Trump administration has managed to do in the few short weeks that he's been in office for his second term. So credit where credit is due. Absolutely.

Well, Megan, let me just tell you, I mean, while Biden was still in office, one of the things that really infuriated me was the story of a young American citizen, Eisenhower, who was actually protesting with some activists in the West Bank in regard to the high civilian death toll in Gaza. And Israeli snipers shot and killed her. And the Biden administration did not care.

They pretended as though the Israeli officials had launched an investigation into it, and then we never heard about it again. That was an American citizen, one of our own. And I just think it's unacceptable.

So I wholeheartedly agree with anyone who's upset with any government official or administration that leaves our American citizens either in the hands of an authoritarian government or left to die with no real investigation and no real justice. That is not leadership. So I totally hear what you're saying.

Right. I mean, look, I want to get our Americans back, right? So if you have to make those types of deals, it is what it is. And I'm sorry, leaving an American middle school teacher to die in a Russian prison or Belarusian prison, if you're talking about the other hostages that have been released, is unacceptable.

And so if you're willing to release someone who's accused of cyber crimes in order to get an American citizen back, I do think that's a deal worth taking. And You know, to your point about how there wasn't really much attention paid to these issues, especially, you know, the story of the woman that I'm talking about, the protester in the West Bank who was shot and killed.

I don't know if it's because of the political leanings of the individuals hired at these media organizations, because, look, now Donald Trump is in office. And there is no shortage of critical reporting about his administration. And I think there's nothing wrong with that as long as it's fact based and rooted in evidence.
