Speaker 1: All right, Thank you Scott Shannon, and thanks to all
Speaker 1: of you for being with us. Right down our toll
Speaker 1: free telephone number if you want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the program, it's eight hundred and ninety four one
Speaker 1: sewn if you want to join us. We are in Alaska,
Speaker 1: We're in Anchorage. We are at Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson.
Speaker 1: If I were to walk me, take me about two
Speaker 1: minutes and fifty bullets to the body, probably starting with
Speaker 1: a headshirt.
Speaker 2: If I wanted to walk in the room.
Speaker 1: Where the meeting with Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump is ongoing,
Speaker 1: there are other cabinet officials there. I know Scott Bessett
Speaker 1: was there, and Mark Arrubio was there, Steve Wikoff was there,
Speaker 1: Pete Heggs was there.
Speaker 2: I didn't get everybody. There was a spray, as they.
Speaker 1: Call it, and one when Putin and Trump meant on
Speaker 1: the tarmac both landing here at Joint Base Elmendorff, and
Speaker 1: then another when they initially sat down the way the
Speaker 1: afternoon is going to unfold you. You're not going to
Speaker 1: hear a lot on this program about what the outcome
Speaker 1: of this is because it's really not until about seven
Speaker 1: thirty eastern. That will get maybe the first indication unless
Speaker 1: something bad happens, So we'll be on standby for that.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: And then I'll have my one on one interview with
Speaker 1: President Trump and we're just going to go deep into
Speaker 1: you know, what happened. I want him to walk us
Speaker 1: through it. But my first questions, I can tell you
Speaker 1: what they are. I don't really care. You said you'd
Speaker 1: know in two minutes. What did you learn in two minutes?
Speaker 1: I want to ask him, you know, what are the
Speaker 1: severe consequences? What do you when you negotiate? You say
Speaker 1: it's like chess, you know, explain how you view a
Speaker 1: negotiation like a chess game. The flyover was what three
Speaker 1: stealth bombers? Well, that was pretty that was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: As soon as Putin and him met and shook hands,
Speaker 1: they timed it perfectly. I'm sure that was not on
Speaker 1: the itinerary. I'm just guessing on that part though. Uh,
Speaker 1: we have tape. There was audio A question from a
Speaker 1: reporter that was yelled to Putin before they were rushed out,
Speaker 1: was will you agree to stop blowing up civilians? And
Speaker 1: why should Trump trust you? We have the question. Obviously
Speaker 1: there was no answer. Listen, will you agree to the fire?
Speaker 3: Will you commit not telling anywhere to do?
Speaker 2: In?
Speaker 4: President?
Speaker 2: Why is your president trust your word?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, those people give me a headache. That
Speaker 1: was what it was like walking into my hotel with
Speaker 1: all the Russians there you uh there yesterday. I mean
Speaker 1: they're all in my grill with their phones. I just
Speaker 1: said Sureyl answered a couple of questions.
Speaker 2: I didn't care.
Speaker 1: Because I'm whatever it is, what it is anyway, joining
Speaker 1: us now. Ambassador of Nathan Sales, he served in the
Speaker 1: first Trump administration as Ambassador at Large for counter Terrorism.
Speaker 1: Acting Undersecretary of State. He played a key role in
Speaker 1: the maximum pressure campaign against the Ranium regime and its
Speaker 1: terror proxies. In twenty twenty two, he was sanctioned by Iran. Well,
Speaker 1: we do have something in common. I had an Iranian
Speaker 1: mulla put a fatwah once on my head, and I
Speaker 1: got a warning. I got a call from the NYPD
Speaker 1: and other law enforcement that the fot whah was real
Speaker 1: and that I had to take it seriously. And I
Speaker 1: never had more security in my life than at that point.
Speaker 1: I assume you probably had the same thing.
Speaker 3: Hey, Sean, great to be back, and it's nice to
Speaker 3: know that we're fellow members of the FAPLA club.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a whole interesting side note to all that
Speaker 1: that one day when we're together, I'll tell you. All Right,
Speaker 1: so high stakes the president going into this. I think
Speaker 1: that the President has been very clear in managing everyone's expectations.
Speaker 1: This is how he will define success. If in fact,
Speaker 1: this meeting goes well, the next phase of this would
Speaker 1: be a three way meeting between Putin and Zolenski. I
Speaker 1: think people have to be realistic in how this ultimately
Speaker 1: would play out. There's no way that Putin has been
Speaker 1: given back all the territory that he has accumulated. But
Speaker 1: there are signs that Russia, like Ukraine, is getting war weary,
Speaker 1: running out of soldiers and running out of equipment, and
Speaker 1: certainly the sanctions and Donald Trump putting pressure on the
Speaker 1: ability of the Russians to sell oil I think played
Speaker 1: a big role in bringing him to the table and
Speaker 1: getting NATO to pay more than twice what they were
Speaker 1: paying and to pay their fair share.
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts, sen, I.
Speaker 3: Think that's exactly right. Why is Putin prepared to talk now?
Speaker 3: He refused for the entirety of the Trump administration and
Speaker 3: the Biden administration as well, and I think it's because
Speaker 3: of pressure when President Trump said there's going to be
Speaker 3: economic consequence.
Speaker 1: Well, what do you mean the entirety of the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: He's only been in office. You know, this is eight months.
Speaker 3: Well that's right, that's right, only eight months.
Speaker 2: But during seven months, yeah, yeah, but during those.
Speaker 3: Eight months, Trump said, look, we want to talk, we
Speaker 3: want to resolve this, we want peace, and Putin gave
Speaker 3: him the stiff arm, but he's not doing that anymore.
Speaker 3: And I think you put your your finger right on
Speaker 3: the button, Sean. It's because Trump threatened to creator the
Speaker 3: Russian economy serious economic consequences through sanctions that we got
Speaker 3: his attention. And so that helps explain how we got
Speaker 3: where we are today. And it also is a roadmap
Speaker 3: for what we'll have to do if Trump takes the
Speaker 3: Putin's temperature and we realize he's not actually serious, he's
Speaker 3: not prepared to sit down and negotiate in good faith.
Speaker 3: We're going to have to turn up the economic heat,
Speaker 3: just like we did on the Iranians.
Speaker 1: I agree with you as well. All right, So a
Speaker 1: couple of very specific things. One, if you look at
Speaker 1: the European Union and the trade deal that we made,
Speaker 1: there's nearly a trillion dollars in committed monies that they
Speaker 1: will spend on American energy, money that we all know
Speaker 1: otherwise would have been spent to buy energy, the lifeblood
Speaker 1: of every economy from Vladimir Putin. That I'm certain had
Speaker 1: to get Putin's attention. The fifty percent tariff on India
Speaker 1: if they continue to buy Russian oil, that had to
Speaker 1: get Putin's attention. Supplying the Ukrainians because he's been stubborn
Speaker 1: and unwilling to make a deal, and he's gotten more
Speaker 1: grossly aggressive targeting civilians. I think it absolutely was a
Speaker 1: sign that, Okay, we're not going to do what Joe
Speaker 1: Biden did and buy the weapons for you, but we
Speaker 1: will sell you what you need so you can fight
Speaker 1: back and fight your war. And there are plenty of
Speaker 1: natural resources for the Ukrainians that they would be able
Speaker 1: to have the monies to do so. I think that
Speaker 1: caught their attention. Getting NATO to pay more than twice
Speaker 1: what they were already committed to paying, I think that
Speaker 1: had to be a factor.
Speaker 2: Thoughts on all of this One hundred percent Sean.
Speaker 3: I think Vladimir Putin's approach to geopolitics is the same
Speaker 3: as Vladimir Lenins. And Lenin said, we probe with bonets.
Speaker 3: If you encounter mush, you push. If you encounter steel,
Speaker 3: you withdraw. And I think what Putin has been finding
Speaker 3: these past couple of months is that the United States
Speaker 3: has made of steel. We have, through diplomacy, encouraged, harangued,
Speaker 3: twisted the arms of our European allies to spend more
Speaker 3: on their own defense. And that's an investment not just
Speaker 3: in European security, it's an investment in deterrence. Because the
Speaker 3: stronger NATO is is on the Eastern Front, the less
Speaker 3: likely Putin is going to be to try and try
Speaker 3: something against US. So a more prepared, more capable NATO
Speaker 3: alliance is an investment in stability in Europe, which means
Speaker 3: that the United States doesn't have to spend so much
Speaker 3: time and attention and money policing the continent. The economic
Speaker 3: sanctions that you've talked about as well are absolutely critical.
Speaker 3: Putin's economy is a house of cards. He's propped it
Speaker 3: up these past two and a half years with a
Speaker 3: sugar rush of wartime spending, but that only gets you
Speaker 3: so far, and so interest rates are rising, unemployment is rising.
Speaker 3: He knows he doesn't have that much play left in
Speaker 3: the joints. He's basically greased the system as much as
Speaker 3: he can, and it only would take a little bit
Speaker 3: more economic pressure from the United States in order for
Speaker 3: his economy to face the bad old days of the
Speaker 3: nineteen nineties, where you've got breadlines in Moscow, and at
Speaker 3: that point, the war becomes political liability for Putin. That's
Speaker 3: what he wants to avoid. We got his attention by
Speaker 3: threatening the use of coercive economic state craft, which we
Speaker 3: can do thansing their oil, sanctioning their banks, closing the
Speaker 3: loopholes that the Biden administration unfortunately left open all these
Speaker 3: months and years. That's why I think Putin is prepared
Speaker 3: to talk now. Now, is he prepared to make hard concessions.
Speaker 3: We'll see. President Trump said he'll know within two minutes
Speaker 3: as to whether or not Gladening Putin is serious about
Speaker 3: ending the war. Look forward to seeing the readouts from
Speaker 3: the meetings that are happening right now.
Speaker 1: Well, we're not getting a lot of information right now.
Speaker 1: What is your take? I think the longer this goes on,
Speaker 1: probably the better it is for the long term plan,
Speaker 1: strategic plan of the President, which is a second meeting,
Speaker 1: and obviously the president. If look, if the President assessed
Speaker 1: at this point the Pootin wasn't serious, I think this
Speaker 1: thing would be over. I've known Donald Trump for thirty years.
Speaker 2: I know him. If he thinks he's wasting his time,
Speaker 2: he's leaving.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And that wouldn't be great for Putin. Nobody
Speaker 3: wants to get on a plane and fly all the
Speaker 3: way to Alaska to waste a day. So I think
Speaker 3: we'll have a better sense in a couple of hours
Speaker 3: what the way forward is. Today is just the first meeting.
Speaker 3: If it goes well enough, we could expect to see
Speaker 3: future meetings like this. And then we have to ask
Speaker 3: the question, you know, what does success look like? What
Speaker 3: is a good outcome for Ukraine and Europe and the
Speaker 3: United States? And I think it means, first of all, ceasefire.
Speaker 3: You've got to stop the killing. Putin's gotta stop targeting
Speaker 3: innocent Ukrainian civilians, hospitals, maternity wards, kindergartens. That's got to stop.
Speaker 3: And then thinking long term, we need an arrangement that's
Speaker 3: going to prevent Putin from using a cease fire to
Speaker 3: do what he always does, and that's rearm rebuild his
Speaker 3: military and prepare it to take yet another shot at Ukraine,
Speaker 3: or even worse, if he's emboldened, maybe take some kind
Speaker 3: of shot against NATO territory. So deterrence is absolutely the
Speaker 3: key to the game, and that means, as you said,
Speaker 3: continuing to sell top of the line American military equipment
Speaker 3: to the Ukrainians, not charity. This is going to be
Speaker 3: paid for by the Ukrainians or buy our European allies.
Speaker 3: And maybe we need to see European boots on the
Speaker 3: ground in Ukraine as well. NATO membership is the gold
Speaker 3: standard when it comes to deterrence. Probably not going to
Speaker 3: happen in the near future, but at the second best,
Speaker 3: it would be great to see European boots on the
Speaker 3: ground there on the front lines to deter Russia from
Speaker 3: taking another bite at the apple. After this phase of
Speaker 3: the conflict ends.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about China for just a minute here, because
Speaker 1: the President did put a pause on terifs with China.
Speaker 1: Why do I suspect that part of that negotiation is
Speaker 1: including whether or not China continues to buy Russian oil.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a huge part of it. And
Speaker 3: let's be clear, China has benefited enormously from Russia's war
Speaker 3: in Ukraine because what they have done is by cut
Speaker 3: rates Russian energy that they would have to pay a
Speaker 3: much larger price for if they got it on the
Speaker 3: open market. So China has an interest in Russia winning
Speaker 3: this war, or at least this war prolonging itself for
Speaker 3: its own economic reasons. They've been supplying dual use equipment
Speaker 3: to the Russian military to enable it to fight more effectively. So,
Speaker 3: you know, Putin and Shijin Ting have talked about their
Speaker 3: no limits partnership. That's largely rhetoric, but the fact remains.
Speaker 3: You know, we have seen China make substantial investments in
Speaker 3: Russian success. And I think you've got to break that axis.
Speaker 3: And part of the way you do that is by
Speaker 3: threatening to target Chinese imports of Russian energy, break that dependency,
Speaker 3: make China look someplace self, make them conclude that the
Speaker 3: price of doing business with Russia is simply too high.
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's all a good strategy. It's the
Speaker 1: one thing that you have to know, and I know
Speaker 1: President Trump knows there's better than anybody going into this
Speaker 1: is that the only thing that Russia and Putin will
Speaker 1: ever respect his strength. And I think President Trump has
Speaker 1: shown strength. President Trump tried to go the nice route.
Speaker 1: He did the same thing with Iran. He tried to
Speaker 1: be nice. He gave him fifty days or whatever the
Speaker 1: time period was. They wouldn't listen, and he allowed Israel
Speaker 1: to do what they needed to do, and then he
Speaker 1: followed up and he took out the nuclear sites. At
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's going to be different.
Speaker 1: The severe consequences he's talking about here are economic, and
Speaker 1: that means the engine of the Russian economy, which is oil,
Speaker 1: will be disrupted and disrupted severely, and there won't be
Speaker 1: anything they really can do to stop it because all
Speaker 1: the economic might, and my view, is in the hands
Speaker 1: of the US percent Sean.
Speaker 3: I think it wasn't President Trump's approach to Iran. The
Speaker 3: Chinese were watching very closely, and the Russians were watching
Speaker 3: very closely, and what they saw was that this man
Speaker 3: isn't bluffing. Hey'll play nice with you, He'll give the
Speaker 3: plomacy a chance. He'll also set deadlines if you break
Speaker 3: the deadlines, and if he promises there's going to be consequences,
Speaker 3: there's going to be consequences. So I think the approach
Speaker 3: to the president took with respect to the Iranian nuclear
Speaker 3: weapons program showed the rest of the world that when
Speaker 3: he says he wants to talk and if you built,
Speaker 3: there's consequences, that he was deadly serious. Let's hope that
Speaker 3: produces some momentum here in Alaska with Putin realizing that
Speaker 3: the days of his war numbered and it would be
Speaker 3: in his own best interest economically to call off the dogs,
Speaker 3: accept the ceasefire, and.
Speaker 1: Last question, do you agree with me? At the end
Speaker 1: of the day, he's going to gain territory. There'll be
Speaker 1: a land swap in some regards, and that whether he
Speaker 1: he likes it or not, even though it won't be NATO,
Speaker 1: there are going to be massive security guarantees for Ukraine.
Speaker 2: Is that how it ends?
Speaker 3: I think that's how it ends. Yeah, the details those
Speaker 3: are going to be worked out, but it's basically a
Speaker 3: land for peace type arrangement where the land that Ukraine
Speaker 3: steeps is adequate to defend it against any future Russian aggression.
Speaker 1: I'm telling people that people are like I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear that's going to be the end. I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you how it's going to end, not what I wish.
Speaker 1: We don't reward people that do this, Ambassador Nathan Sales,
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, appreciate it. Eight hundred ninety four one.
Speaker 1: Going to be a part of the program. H right,
Speaker 1: we continue Sean Hennery Show. We are at the summit
Speaker 1: with President Trump and Vladimir Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf, Richardson,
Speaker 1: beautiful Anchorage, Alaska. And when we come back, we're also
Speaker 1: going to get to a lot of your phone calls
Speaker 1: coming up in the course of the program today. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred ninety four one. Shawn, if you want to join us,
Speaker 1: and we did put on Instagram the radio show today,
Speaker 1: I want to check it out. We'll continue at my
Speaker 1: interview with President Trump tonight nine eastern on Fox Robert
Speaker 1: right here in the great state of Alaska, Robert, what
Speaker 1: a beautiful state you have. The people are wonderful, and
Speaker 1: even the reindeer tasted okay.
Speaker 4: Thank you, so hey, try the beer Baltle halibut before
Speaker 4: you leave too. That's the best. But thank you and
Speaker 4: President Trump and hopefully President Putin for coming here to
Speaker 4: find peace in our world, and especially since we're so
Speaker 4: close to Russia, we want to make sure that we're
Speaker 4: at peace with Russia.
Speaker 2: Well, listen, I understand why.
Speaker 1: There's actually I think a fifty mile one of the islands,
Speaker 1: the Alaskan Islands, I think is fifty feet off the
Speaker 1: shore of Russia.
Speaker 2: Did you know that? Yes, yes, I'm sorry, fifty fifty miles.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, we're very close.
Speaker 1: Fifty feet would be a little too close, not a
Speaker 1: little too close for comfort.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we have we still have a lot of
Speaker 4: Russians here. We have Russian little pockets and they're very
Speaker 4: nice people. And we all get along and I hope,
Speaker 4: you know, President Trump and and Putin can get along
Speaker 4: and we leave with a nice deal and no more war.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't want you to get your hopes too high.
Speaker 1: The deal would be that we go forward and there's
Speaker 1: a real, true commitment towards a lasting piece. That's what
Speaker 1: that would be the goal of today.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, well we you know, we we we had
Speaker 4: the biggest protests I've ever seen here in my thirty
Speaker 4: years in Alaska. I'm from the East Coast, Brentwood. You know,
Speaker 4: brentwand right Long Island.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do, we do.
Speaker 1: I don't know what brought you from Brentwood, Long Island
Speaker 1: to Anchorage, Alaska.
Speaker 4: The fishing.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I want to say thanks to
Speaker 1: our local affiliate k E and I for all their help.
Speaker 1: AM six fifty. They're amazing.
Speaker 4: So we're having the biggest salmon run on. You get
Speaker 4: this the Russian River down the highway where it's sunny today.
Speaker 4: It's cloudy and Anchorage today, but looks south and you'll
Speaker 4: see a blue sky.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot.
Speaker 1: Because I'm in a room that's like twenty degrees below
Speaker 1: zero right now, freezing. There's no chance I'm falling asleep
Speaker 1: on the air today. I can tell you that. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I it was when I was walking
Speaker 1: in my hotel and I mean when I say it's
Speaker 1: full of Russians, I'm not joking. It's full of Russians.
Speaker 1: And I think I'm the only American in the hotel.
Speaker 1: And so you know, I'm getting the fact that they
Speaker 1: knew me. Surprised me number one number two, you know,
Speaker 1: asking me, and I'm like, well, what do you want
Speaker 1: to kill in a stop?
Speaker 2: How many more Russian soldiers dead? Do you want?
Speaker 1: You know, how many more dead women and children do
Speaker 1: we have to have here? What to satisfy Plutin's you know,
Speaker 1: geopolitical territorial ambitions, no, thank you, And the fact that
Speaker 1: President Trump is willing to expend political capital that in
Speaker 1: the end wood could potentially benefit everybody. You know, European
Speaker 1: leaders can't do this now. If you really want to
Speaker 1: take it to the next, next, next best level, why not?
Speaker 1: Why doesn't Europe start on their own? And maybe President
Speaker 1: Trump will get the ball rolling to develop better relationships
Speaker 1: with Russia. Maybe that would reduce their their contributions that
Speaker 1: are necessary to NATO. You know, there's all sorts of
Speaker 1: possibilities if you're open and you really want peace in
Speaker 1: your life, and you really you know, there's all sorts
Speaker 1: of things. But it takes two to tango. You can't
Speaker 1: make people do things they don't want to do. And
Speaker 1: there's a certain part of Putin, from my perspective, that
Speaker 1: is just evil. And I don't think he's moved an inch.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think his heart, his soul, his conscience is
Speaker 1: moved in the least, you know, if he sees pictures.
Speaker 1: He doesn't even probably see them of dead women and children.
Speaker 1: I don't think he cares. And it's just not how
Speaker 1: he's his mind is configured. So anyway, we can hope.
Speaker 1: But that's why pressure matters, when when you go at
Speaker 1: somebody's the heart of a country's economy, which is what
Speaker 1: the severe consequences will be. If Putin does not rise
Speaker 1: to the occasion and take the opportunity President Trump is
Speaker 1: giving him today, then I think that's the inevitable result.
Speaker 1: I cannot believe we're going to stay in Alaska. I
Speaker 1: can't believe all our friends in Alaska calling in. We
Speaker 1: have Drew in Alaska. Drew, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 1: And thanks for listening in Alaska.
Speaker 5: Thank you for having me Sean. This is a great
Speaker 5: day for Alaska and for the whole world to see
Speaker 5: our great state and for President Trump to put this together.
Speaker 5: And like I was telling Katie, I was a prop
Speaker 5: Democrat at one point until they did their bull crap
Speaker 5: against the president and tried to trump up charges against him,
Speaker 5: and I was like, no, it's not going to happen.
Speaker 5: And he got the black and brown vote, plus the
Speaker 5: white boat vote too, so and I think he's doing
Speaker 5: a great job for our for our country of the
Speaker 5: United States. And with Putin coming here, he's gonna just,
Speaker 5: you know, we won't know what he says, but basically
Speaker 5: he's just gonna say it has to stop. And Putin
Speaker 5: realizes that it needs to stop because the money's running up,
Speaker 5: and he has countrymen that are saying, hey, it was
Speaker 5: fine before, and I can't believe they would tell him that,
Speaker 5: but it is Russia. And I'm hoping uh Zolenski will come.
Speaker 5: But like I was telling Katie, I don't see Putin
Speaker 5: in the Russian giving back any land they wanted that
Speaker 5: they wanted that waterway, and I don't think they're going
Speaker 5: to give it back, so that that's not up to us.
Speaker 5: That's between Russia and the Ukraine.
Speaker 1: And I just well, the American people that the shift
Speaker 1: in attitude I think is so much. It's been very
Speaker 1: great because of President Trump's leadership, and that is he's
Speaker 1: given Putin every opportunity a lot of time to come
Speaker 1: to the table.
Speaker 2: He hasn't. So President Trump then.
Speaker 1: Said, okay, well, now we're going to start arming Ukraine,
Speaker 1: but we're not going to do it the way Joe
Speaker 1: Biden do it, will sell them the weapons, all right.
Speaker 2: Putin's taken note of that.
Speaker 1: Putin's taken note of a fifty percent tariff if India
Speaker 1: buys Russian oil. Putin's taken note of the fact that
Speaker 1: the European Union just did a deal nearly a trillion
Speaker 1: dollars in committed monies to buy American energy. He's taken
Speaker 1: note of that, because that's money right out of his pocket.
Speaker 1: What has been funding his war machine is the heart
Speaker 1: and soul of the Russian economy, which is oil and energy, period,
Speaker 1: and the sentence. And if they don't have it, or
Speaker 1: they don't have enough customers, especially if President Trump can
Speaker 1: peel away India and maybe even China, wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 1: We're dealing with talking about Donald Trump here.
Speaker 3: Right yep.
Speaker 5: And yeah, John, I just can't say enough that you
Speaker 5: you spread the word of the truth. And I just
Speaker 5: I'm glad I've listened to you for the last three years.
Speaker 5: And yeah, and I watch your TV show and when
Speaker 5: I get home from work, I watch it for a
Speaker 5: whole hour. And yeah, you had a great show yesterday.
Speaker 5: I just wish that I told Katie that I want
Speaker 5: to give you some salmon and some homemade jelly. It's raspberry.
Speaker 5: I'm going leaving today to go out in the middle
Speaker 5: of Fairbanks to go berry picking, so I'll watch your show.
Speaker 5: I have internet.
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny when farmers call this program sometimes
Speaker 1: and they're even on their tractors, or when people like yourself.
Speaker 1: I have a friend of mine that picks blueberries in
Speaker 1: upstate New York. And you tell me you're going to
Speaker 1: go fishing, and you tell me you're gonna pick raspberries,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna tell you're gonna make jelly. And you know,
Speaker 1: when I'm having some really crappy days because I'm in
Speaker 1: the public eye, I'm like dreaming of doing you know,
Speaker 1: having anonymity and doing just that.
Speaker 2: It sounds like the most appealing thing in the world.
Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes I questioned myself and in terms
Speaker 1: of man, why am I?
Speaker 2: Why am I killing myself?
Speaker 1: I could be living on a ranch and raising cattle
Speaker 1: and doing fishing and doing a little bit of hunting
Speaker 1: and making a little bit of jelly.
Speaker 2: Kind of sounds cool to me. Those would be the
Speaker 2: most politically informed cows in all of the world. Did
Speaker 2: you hear what she said?
Speaker 1: Those would be the most politically informed cows in the world,
Speaker 1: and fish and raspberries, arguing no, but I mean, and
Speaker 1: it really does.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 1: One of the worst things if you grow up in
Speaker 1: suburbia and the only thing you know is to buy
Speaker 1: everything at a grocery store, you ask kids, where does
Speaker 1: that come from?
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, people raised the chickens, they raised, you know,
Speaker 1: the pigs, they raised the cattle. They they go fishing,
Speaker 1: they you know, they do the farming, they do the
Speaker 1: harvest thing, they do all the hard work.
Speaker 2: They feed the entire world. And I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just admire people that do all these great things.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm so obsessed with these shows in Alaska.
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with them. I can't imagine myself though, living
Speaker 1: off the grid.
Speaker 2: I couldn't. Linda doesn't even know what living off the
Speaker 2: grid means me. No, but I admit that. I just
Speaker 2: said that. This morning. We have this great driver, Tom Gaffney,
Speaker 2: and Tom and Blair and.
Speaker 5: I were talking about it and I was like, He's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 5: Sean loves to live off the grid.
Speaker 2: And I was like, bro, I didn't even know that.
Speaker 2: Actually mental yesterday I thought I met you had like nothing.
Speaker 2: But it turns out I was wrong. Turns out you're
Speaker 2: wrong again. Oh wait, you want to make you want
Speaker 2: to make a rejoinder out.
Speaker 1: Of that one though, Drew, Listen, you're very kind. God
Speaker 1: bless you, and thank you for your hospitality. I've really
Speaker 1: enjoyed my time here in Alaska. I can't believe Alaska
Speaker 1: is the fiftieth state I've been to. And I will
Speaker 1: tell you I'm coming back, God willing, if God lets
Speaker 1: me live long enough, I'm coming back just to have fun.
Speaker 1: Eight ninety four one, Sean, if you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of the program, Scott, he's holding down the
Speaker 1: fort in my free state of Florida.
Speaker 2: What's up, Scott? How are you?
Speaker 4: I'm good, mister Sean? How are you?
Speaker 2: I'm good, sir? What's going on?
Speaker 6: I was wondering to get your opinion and your thoughts
Speaker 6: on if this doesn't go good today with Trump and
Speaker 6: touton if Trump recalls soldiers that aren't out of the
Speaker 6: army within six years, that have not been medically discharged
Speaker 6: or dishonorably discharged, if he recalls them.
Speaker 2: I didn't quite understand the question. Ask me again.
Speaker 3: I was just.
Speaker 6: Wondering your thoughts and opinions on if this goes sideways
Speaker 6: the summit today, if Trump recalls soldiers that haven't been
Speaker 6: out of the military within six years to send them
Speaker 6: overseas to try to combat what Putin's doing over there
Speaker 6: and put feet on.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think those are the severe consequences
Speaker 1: at all. You know the Trump doctorn Now I'm going
Speaker 1: to ask the President about this tonight because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of misunderstanding about the Trump doctrine. The big part
Speaker 1: of it is no forever worse. The last thing America
Speaker 1: wants or needs is a war with Russia.
Speaker 2: We don't need that crap.
Speaker 1: And I think what no forever war means is it
Speaker 1: doesn't mean isolationism, as some quote so called conservatives are
Speaker 1: are describing it to people. You know, because he did
Speaker 1: take out Solamani and Beg Daddy dropped the mother of
Speaker 1: all bombs in Afghanistan, and he did take out the
Speaker 1: Isis Caliphate, and he did take out Iranian nuclear sites.
Speaker 1: That's not isolationism. And here we are in Alaska and
Speaker 1: he's trying to make peace in Europe. You know what,
Speaker 1: God bless him, and I pray that we are successful here.
Speaker 1: We'll know more when I interview President Trump for Fox
Speaker 1: Tonight on the Fox News Channel.
Speaker 2: Hannday nine Easter. We'll continue
