EXCERPT:
KELLY: "Bret, before I talk about that, let me say something. I was watching your previous program, 'The Five,' and they’re talking about abandoned — they were stranded by President Biden. That is not true. They have had a spacecraft up there since September that was going to bring them home. They have always had a ride home. And the decision to keep them up there had nothing to do with politics, it was just the fact that you need crew members to operate the space station and they were the two that were there, and you had to send up a vehicle with two empty seats, so the safest thing to do was to just leave them there. But they weren’t stranded. They always had a ride home.”
