Anna Corbett, whose husband Ryan has been held captive by the Taliban in Afghanistan since 2022, recently shared the disheartening details of a phone call with President Biden. Despite her persistent advocacy, the conversation offered little solace, leaving Corbett devastated.

During her appearance on "Fox & Friends," Corbett expressed her profound disappointment, revealing that President Biden indicated he would not be bringing Ryan home. This news was a crushing blow to the family, especially given the existence of a potential deal for Ryan's release.

Corbett painted a grim picture of her husband's deteriorating health, noting his physical decline due to the harsh conditions of his captivity. She also shared her husband's heartbreaking words, expressing that she wouldn't recognize him now.

Seeking alternative avenues for help, Corbett reached out to former President Trump, meeting with incoming National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to discuss Ryan's plight. She expressed encouragement by the Trump administration's apparent concern and willingness to prioritize her husband's case, contrasting it sharply with her experience with the current administration.

Reports suggest that the Biden administration had been in negotiations with the Taliban to exchange three American hostages, including Ryan, for a Guantanamo Bay detainee linked to Osama bin Laden. However, a Taliban official indicated a preference to wait and negotiate with the incoming Trump administration, stalling the current efforts.

Despite past setbacks, Corbett remains optimistic that the Trump administration will secure Ryan's release. She emphasized their apparent commitment to repatriating American citizens and their concern for Ryan and George Glezmann, highlighting their innocence in the matter.

Corbett shared a recent conversation with Ryan, where he expressed his longing for his family and frustration with his prolonged detention. She reaffirmed her unwavering commitment to bringing her husband home, driven by a mother's love and determination to reunite her children with their father.
