The release of Brittney Griner prompted recriminations and debate—some legitimate, some cruel. Diane Foley the Founder and President of the James Foley Legacy Foundation discusses hard policy choices and the often insensitive treatment that families of captives often endure. Plus, the trend of high-profile unionization successes belies the overall trend. And we play "Who Said It: Christian Kirk or Charlie Kirk?" A game of oddness and dubious relevance.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
