Hour 1 - 

Good Friday morning! Nick Reed is live at Scramblers Diner. Here's what he covers:

Brittney Griner was released from prison in a one-for-one swap with convicted arms dealer Viktor Bout. Bout is known as the "merchant of death."

It's becoming more clear that the White House & the Biden Administration allowed Russia to call the shots during the prisoner swap.

Paul Whelan is now speaking out. 'I am greatly disappointed that more has not been done to secure my release, especially as the four-year anniversary of my arrest is coming up. I was arrested for a crime that never occurred. I don't understand why I'm still sitting here. I would say that if a message could go to President Biden, that this is a precarious situation that needs to be resolved quickly. My bags are packed. I'm ready to go home. I just need an airplane to come and get me. It's quite obvious that I'm being held hostage.'

The prisoner swap video was edited. In the video, it appeared that Griner went in to shake Bout's hand.

Democrat mayor of St. Louis Tishaura Jones on Wednesday signed an executive order to create a nine-member volunteer commission to explore and recommend reparations.
