Since the beginning of this year, the Obama administration has said that the transfer of $400 million to Iran and the return of United States prisoners in Iran on the same day were unrelated issues. President Barack Obama and his staff stressed that the U.S. does not pay ransom. He even said the idea that it was a ransom was “the manufacturing of outrage” by those opposed to the administration. This week, however, the U.S. State Department admitted the two actions were related and that it was—though still refusing to call it as such—a ransom. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry digs into the latest on this event and also continues the discussion from the previous show on how to develop as a cultured individual.
