Since they arrived at a 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,959 Speaker 1: meet and greet has been at some point they've they've 8 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: worked in a lunch here. We haven't gotten the full 9 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: breakout of everything and the individual meeting that has taking place, 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: a bunch of breakout sessions taking place, and at that 11 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: point is going to be probably immediately after this program, 12 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: there's going to be a we don't know if it'll 13 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: be a joint pressor we don't know if it's just 14 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: going to be President Trump. At that minute, he probably 15 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: will come to me. I'm not sure if we're going 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: directly live on Fox or if it'll air at at 17 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: nine o'clock. So it's it's going to be a pretty 18 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: busy day anyway. Thank you for being with us and 19 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: here to analyze the stakes. And we've been going through 20 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: every aspect of this. George Biebe is the director of 21 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: the Grand Strategy at the Quincy Institute for Responsible state Craft. Now, 22 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: he's spent more than two decades in government as an 23 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: intelligence analyst, diplomat policy advisor, including director of the CIA's 24 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: Russia Analysis and staff advisor on Russia matters to Vice 25 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: President Cheney back in the day. Rebecca Conflors with US, 26 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,919 Speaker 1: host of Censored but Not Silenced her podcast and former 27 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: strategic military intelligence analyst with the Defense Intelligence Agency. Guys, 28 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: good to have you both. Thank you for being with us. 29 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: Rebecca will start with you. Now, I've gone through the 30 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: lead up to today, and I can go over every 31 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: aspect of it. You know, watching you know President Trump 32 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: coming into today, that Putin will face severe consequences if 33 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: Alaska fails to and the Ukrainian war. Now, well, no, 34 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: when in a very short period of time when I 35 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: interview President Trump and will air it on Fox, you 36 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: know how this all plays out. But certainly the President's strategy, 37 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: he's not hiding it is going to be to shut 38 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: off the spicket and tell countries you do business with Putin, 39 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: you're not doing business with us. And I think President 40 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: Trump wins that conflict. 41 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: So Sean, Unfortunately, I'm not very autimistic when it comes 42 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 2: to the achievement of President Trump's ultimate goal to stop 43 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: the bleeding in Ukraine. She is, why did you tasations 44 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: are irreconcilable at this point, And yes, you do have 45 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: some cards in terms of the secondary sanctions, but Putin's 46 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: economic concerns and She's concerns are two different things. Even 47 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: makes we place the thanks secondary sanctions on Russia. And 48 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: it's uncertain whether China or India are going to play 49 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 2: ball with us because their strategic calculations are based on 50 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: their natural interests, not on ours either. There has been 51 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: for decades and major purchaser of Russians armaments, not a person, 52 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 2: not just oil. China has been a strategic partner, not 53 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: the true partner, but to Russia. But so if those 54 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: two don't play balls, who you will continue the war? 55 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: Even if the sanctions bring some hearts of the Russian economy. Culturally, 56 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: the Russians are just so much more comfortable than Europeans 57 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: or Americans to tolerate casualty, to tolerate any kind of 58 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: economic shortages, and so decisions. Houselors is not going to 59 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: be impacted because the Ukraine issue is an existential issue 60 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: for him and for Russians. Ukraine very part of Russia 61 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: on which it relies. 62 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: Well, I want to be I want to be as 63 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: realistic as I can possibly be, and I don't want 64 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: to over promise on the deliver at some point if you, 65 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: for example, if you look at Ukraine last night, they 66 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: they bombed the living hell out of a Russian oil 67 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: refinery during last night strikes. Hundreds of Russian soldiers are 68 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: dying daily as a result of this war. Putin now 69 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: forcing prisoners, ethnic minorities, and migrants to fight on the 70 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: front line. So they've got their own problems, they got 71 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: their own economic problems. Russia's you know, there's an article 72 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: in Fortune magazine about their coming fiscal crunch. You've discussed 73 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: this in detail. On the other hand, you know, Russia 74 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: I think has the military advantage going into this, but 75 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: you know, on paper, I don't think anybody would have thought, 76 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: you know, three years later that Ukraine would still be 77 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: in the game and fighting as valiantly as they have 78 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: been able to fight. 79 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: Ukrainians have been fighting valiantly. There's no questions that, uh, 80 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 2: these guys are patriots, patriots, they are fast learners, but 81 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: they're in an untenable position Sean. But it's like Russia 82 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: is considered by the Pentagon itself as an und quote 83 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 2: anosier competitor. That means that is on par with the 84 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: Russia with the US military. And he asked a lot 85 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 2: of analysts, say, Russians camp fight, you know, how come 86 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: they haven't taken in Ukraine yet? But the Quessian way 87 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: of war and your fay of war completely different. So, uh, 88 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 2: Ukraine is running out of man it's running out of 89 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: munitions to the what we call the combat potential stands points, which. 90 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: Is can't but but they're not going to run out 91 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: of munitions now, I mean very very well. For first 92 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: of all, a couple of things have happened Number one, 93 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: Number one, and we'll get George to way In on this. 94 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: Number one, The American mindset on all of this has 95 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: shifted and shifted rather dramatically. Is you know, the difference 96 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: between giving what weapons to Ukraine and them buying in 97 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: the Ukrainians buying weapons, I think has gone over much 98 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: better with the American people. That's number one. Number two. 99 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: I think Europe you know, underestimated, underestimated Putin's commitment to this, 100 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: and they now realize that they have in many ways 101 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: made multiple mistakes. They have helped fund Putin's war machine, 102 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: but now too, Donald Trump has pressured them to double 103 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: their commitments to NATO, and the weaponry that will be 104 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: selling NATO can be then transferred over. So I think 105 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: that's a big deal too. So I think a lot 106 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: of things have changed since you know this calculus, you 107 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: know as has shifted dramatically. Do you not agree, George, Well, yeah, 108 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: I do. 109 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: This is a situation though, where I'm a lot more 110 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 3: optimistic about something significant coming out of this meeting and 111 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 3: subsequent meetings to put this war on a path toward 112 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 3: resolution that I think most people are. And the reason 113 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 3: is because I don't believe that objectives and Trump's objectives 114 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 3: are fundamentally incompatible. In fact, I think there's a lot 115 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 3: of overlap between them, and I'll just list where I 116 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 3: think those are. Number One, Putin does not want Ukraine 117 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 3: to be in the Natal Alliance and he doesn't want 118 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 3: native forces on Ukrainian territory. Well, guess what neither of 119 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 3: his President Trump. He is not eager to undertake a 120 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 3: treaty commitment to go to war with Russia to defend Ukraine, 121 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 3: and neither were any of the other presidents in the 122 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: post Cold War period. We've worked ourselves in this situation. 123 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 3: We thought we could bring Ukraine into the Alliance, but 124 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: not actually have to go to where to send Ukraine, 125 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 3: and that was a mistake in our part. Trump wants 126 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 3: to fix that, and Putin is more than willing to 127 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 3: reach an agreement on that. So that's a big deal. 128 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 3: The second thing is President Trump does not want to 129 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 3: see Russian forces conquer all of Ukrainian territory. He wants 130 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 3: to stop their advances so that Ukraine emerges from this 131 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 3: with a great deal of territory and independence. Well so 132 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 3: does Putin. Putin recognizes that trying to conquer all of 133 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 3: Ukrainian territory is a trap for the Russian military. It 134 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 3: would require not just conquering the territory, but occupying and 135 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 3: governing it, and that would require an occupation for several 136 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 3: times the size of the entire Russian military and subject 137 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: those occupiers to ongoing guerrilla attacks forever. It would be 138 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 3: a trap. So that's another area where I think there's 139 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 3: basis for an understanding. Then the third thing is Putin 140 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 3: wants to be a great power in the world. He 141 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 3: doesn't want to be subordinate to China. He doesn't want 142 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 3: to be dependent on China's large gess. He wants to 143 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 3: stand up and have an ability to deal with the 144 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 3: West and with the East at the same time. Well 145 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 3: so does Trump. Trump looks at this and says, it's 146 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 3: not an America's interest to drive Russia and China together 147 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 3: to work against us. So all of those things I 148 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 3: think mean both Trump and Putin have a desire to 149 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 3: find a way forward here, and I expected out of 150 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 3: this with some significant achievements. 151 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 1: All right, quick break right back. We'll continue more with 152 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: Rebecca Kopfler and George Bieb on the other side. Than 153 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: your call is also coming up. We continue. We're in Anchorage. 154 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: We're in Alaska. The Trump Putin summit is underway. Full 155 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: coverage my interview with Trump to nine Eastern on the 156 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: Fox News Channel. All right, we continue with George bib 157 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: and Rebecca Kopfler. At the end of the day, there's 158 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: going to be landswaps, and it's got to be for 159 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: Ukraine's security guarantees. Not necessary, not necessarily NATO, but certainly 160 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: their relationship with the United States going forward between a 161 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: financial mineral deal and I would imagine the continued purchasing 162 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: of American weaponry is going to got to be part 163 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: of the deal. They've got to be able to stop 164 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: a third invasion. Rebecca, I know you're less optimistic, but 165 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: that's basically what the deal would have to end up 166 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: looking like. That's not what we're going to get out 167 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: of this summit. This this summit is to see are 168 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: you serious? Do you want to sit down at the table, 169 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: And if you do, we're going to move forward quickly 170 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: at my pace. If not yet, I'm out of here. 171 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: I'm done. 172 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: And that's and that's the crux of the matter. First, 173 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 2: agree with George that at this strategic level, at the 174 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: big picture, Russia and the United States, and especially Student 175 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 2: and Trunk are the same page. Right, But Trump is 176 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 2: probably the only person, perhaps in addition to JD. Van 177 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 2: who wants to see that happen. Trump is going to 178 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 2: be president for four years. Pudent is looking long term 179 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 2: human potential, will be president until twenty thirty six. Student 180 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 2: believes that it's only a temporary change the normal. The 181 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 2: baseline for the United States is an anti Russia posture. 182 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 2: The issue has been so politicized, sewn that you can 183 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 2: no longer like George and I. I'm listening to us 184 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: talking and the main stream media does not want these 185 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 2: kinds of talking points because they are very simplistic. Had 186 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 2: Lensky good, Russia bad? Like that's the level, but that's 187 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: well we are. It's an extremely complex issue, and I 188 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 2: believe the Deep States, the administrative, all of those people 189 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: who are in fact profiting from weapons deliveries to Ukraine. 190 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 2: I'm not going to let Trump to conclude that deal. 191 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: And the points to address on the weapons deliveries to Ukraine. 192 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 2: We have decluded our wrong weapons oxenal shanks to very 193 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 2: dangerous levels, javelin thingers, even patriots missiles, especially one hundred 194 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 2: and fifty five milimeter shells, because Ukraine has an extremely 195 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 2: high burn rate on the battlefield, a lot higher by 196 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 2: Western standards. Right, So that is exactly why she'd hands it, 197 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 2: tried to pause UH the deliveries of the military hardware 198 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: to Ukraine. But then person Trump reversus that decision. There's 199 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: a National Security Strategy Commission that has concluded that the 200 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 2: United States has no capability to persecute what we call 201 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 2: a multi data war, which is a real UH threat 202 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: it's a tangible threat Russia, China, North Korea and Iran 203 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 2: potentially synchronizing operations or even so we just simply don't 204 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 2: have it. And Europeans are in the stained position. They 205 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 2: are what invasketball is depleted and we, by the way, 206 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 2: we have no capacity. We have no molt industrial capacity 207 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 2: UH to quickly scale up or it's proven he transition 208 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 2: is not in economy of wartime, putting seven years prior 209 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: to the invasions. That's why the Russians are pumping out 210 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 2: warm results in three months than entire Europe right now 211 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: is producing in one year. So that is the layer 212 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 2: of the land. I wish I could tell you give 213 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 2: me some optimism. I'm just trying to be realistic. 214 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: I agree with a lot of what both of you 215 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: are saying, and it's it's an interesting time. The one 216 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: thing that you cannot deny is is no other world 217 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: leader that would even think about expending any political capital. 218 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: And this now would be the eighth peace deal president 219 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: Trump involved himself in. And I can't think of past 220 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: presidents that would be willing to go that hard, that 221 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: deep in the paint, you know, for actually something that 222 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: is not the biggest benefit to the United States, except 223 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: that the United States should be the country that wants 224 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: to stop killing around the world if he can, and 225 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: use its power to do so. India, Pakistan, Israel, Iran, Rwanda, Congo, Serbia, Cosavo, Thailand, Cambodia, Armenia, 226 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: as a Baijan, Egypt, Ethiopia. We'll see, I'll know. I'll 227 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: know in a little bit right after the show when 228 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: I interviewed President Trump. Don't forget, we'll be broadcasting might 229 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: we might even be on earlier than nine pm Eastern 230 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: And if we are, we'll send out a big social 231 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: media blast on it. Eight hundred nine, Shawn. We continue 232 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: from Anchorage a right twenty five now till the top 233 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: of the hour, eight hundred and nine to four one Sean. 234 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program. 235 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: We're in Anchorage. We're actually at Joint Joint Base Elmendorf. 236 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: I am near Putin right now, I'm near President Trump 237 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: right now. It was so weird my hotel filled with 238 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: all these Russian like agents. They must have dumped like 239 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: twelve truckloads of equipment. I mean, if there's pictures of 240 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: me naked on the internet, you'll know why it's not 241 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: because I'm putting them out there. But it was so bizarre. 242 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: And then they're like coming up to me. They recognized me. 243 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: I forgot to tell you this, Linda, they recognize me, 244 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: and oh my gosh. They thought it was the biggest 245 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: interview they ever got. Said, how do you know me? 246 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: And I think one guy was that guy? The foreign minister. Yeah, 247 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: and he's trying to ask me a question. He doesn't 248 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: speak English. Oh no, So the woman reporter was asking, 249 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: and I was very blunt. I said, Trump doesn't have 250 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: a lot to gain from this. And by the way, 251 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: if you don't think for a second, you know, he'd 252 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: walk out of this meeting in two seconds. You don't 253 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: know Donald J. Trump, he will walk And then I 254 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: went on to I said, and she goes, what message 255 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: you send for putin? Stop the killing? Stop the killing? 256 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: How many more? How many? I said, how many more 257 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: women and children have to die? How many more Russian 258 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: soldiers have to die? And so it's going to be 259 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: very interesting. President Trump tonight with me on on the 260 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: Fox News channel. Immediately after he does a short press conference, 261 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: So I'm not sure if it's going to be a 262 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: joint press conference. Nobody knows. I mean, this is very fluid. 263 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: And you know they've been in a breakout group now, 264 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: you know for a while, and you know, and we'll 265 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: just see what happens. 266 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 4: I'm sure they're having borshed and nice shots of vodka. 267 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: Vodka, vodka, vodka. And I did try my reindeer sausage 268 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: today just so I could get back at you. Listen, now, 269 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: the president in the lead up to today, let me 270 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: play him saying he hopes for this second meeting with Putin. 271 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: I mean, and this is the stupidity of listening to 272 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: European leaders and NATO leaders and they're so called leaders 273 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: because they couldn't they could never be in this position, 274 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: which frustrates me. You know, Donald Trump doesn't need lectures 275 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: from them on how to negotiate. But Donald Trump is 276 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: saying there will be no deal without Ukrainian and europe 277 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: Western European approval number one. And the purpose of today 278 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: is to get to a point where President Trump is 279 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: convinced this guy is willing to have a peace deal. 280 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: And if he is, he would very quickly like to 281 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: move to step two. Step two would be President Zelenski, 282 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: President Putin, Donald Trump and hopefully that's when you start 283 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: talking about what is inevitable. Now, don't kill them, messenger, 284 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: because I talk about the inevitable. I'm telling you how 285 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: this is going to end. I've been doing, you know, 286 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: radio since nineteen eighty seven. I could sit here and 287 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: lie to you and tell you I don't think I 288 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: have a very good idea how this is going to end. 289 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you how it's going to end is 290 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: likely going to have to be given. Take on both sides. 291 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: For Ukraine, it's going to be landswaps. They're going to 292 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: lose territory. The Dunbas region, for example, in Ukraine is 293 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: eighty percent Russian national not a fact maybe a lot 294 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: of people want to dwell on, but it is reality. 295 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: So I'm giving you the reality of if you want 296 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,239 Speaker 1: a deal that would actually result in peace in the 297 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: continent of Europe, I'm giving you the reality of what 298 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: it ultimately is going to look like. Now you can 299 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: also game out if war continues, Ukraine will not really 300 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: exist as a country. Do I think that Russia can 301 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: win and conquer it? No, I don't. I think it 302 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 1: would take years and years and years. I don't even 303 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: think Putin is that stupid? I do think he's a thug, 304 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: a murderer and a dictator. And I don't think Zelensky's 305 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: missed the perfect either. Although the Ukrainian people have fought valiantly. 306 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: I think Putin. I was interviewed by some Russian as 307 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: I was going into my hotel media person and I 308 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: just said, when is the death and dying going to stop? 309 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: Is it worth it? You couldn't have had a negotiated settlement, 310 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: and where was Joe Biden. Joe Biden created all of this. 311 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: Zelensky on his part rightly, so is going to want guarantees, 312 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: security guarantees and meaning he doesn't want a third invasion 313 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: for his country. If he's thinking long term, that would 314 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: be the first thing on my mind, and that would 315 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: be non NATO security guarantees, which should be possible and 316 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: something that I think Donald Trump will have to work 317 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: with with Putin on nobody gets what they want in 318 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: a deal, It just doesn't happen that way. Otherwise, let 319 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: the war continue. That's your option. I wish there were 320 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: better options. They're not now. As for the president, if Putin, 321 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: you know, in the end, by the end of today, 322 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 1: if this doesn't go well, we know what President Trump's 323 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: going to do. He said there will be severe consequences 324 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: for Russia. We know what those consequences are. He's going 325 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: to shut off that spickett, which is the Russian economy, 326 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: which is oil, as quickly as he possibly can. And 327 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: you know, the President's right too. This is a chess game, 328 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,479 Speaker 1: and both sides, Russian and Ukraine, have been firing up 329 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: to the last second leading into this. They think they're 330 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: getting some type of negotiation or a bargaining chip or 331 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: some type of advantage. It's it's it's not what really, 332 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: that's not going to be what the reality is. But 333 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: we'll wait, we'll watch, we'll see. Let me play the 334 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: President saying that he hopes for the second meeting, so 335 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: everyone understands what the president goal is here, because if 336 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: he walks out of here, oh he didn't get a 337 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: peace deal, that's not the purpose of what is going 338 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: on here today. He's been very very clear about it. 339 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: The purpose is to see if there is a path 340 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: that they can get to for that hard negotiation, which 341 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: he wants to happen immediately thereafter. Listen, we have a 342 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: meeting with President Putin tomorrow. 343 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 5: I think it's going to be a good meeting. But 344 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 5: the more important meeting will be the second meeting that 345 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 5: we're having. We're going to have a meeting with President Putin, 346 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 5: President z Elynsky, myself, and maybe we'll bring some of 347 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 5: the European. 348 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: Leaders all maybe not. It's I don't know that. It's 349 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: going to be very important. We're going to see what happens. 350 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 5: And I think President Putin will make peace. I think 351 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 5: President z Elynsky will make peace. 352 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: We'll see if they can get along. All right, that's 353 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,959 Speaker 1: President Trump, you know, coming into today. The President also 354 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: saying there will not be security guarantees in the form 355 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: of as I just said, that's not going to be 356 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: that those cards are not on the table. However, that 357 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: doesn't mean European troops. That doesn't mean a deal with 358 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: the United States to build up enough weaponry to serve 359 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: as a deterrent. Uh, wouldn't be part of the deal. 360 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: Here's what he said again, manage your expectations here. 361 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 6: Just one thing. 362 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 5: What about the possibity that is possibility of the United 363 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 5: States providing security guarantees. 364 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 7: To Ukraine, maybe along with Europe and other countries, not 365 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 7: in the form of NATO, because that's not going to 366 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 7: You know, there are certain things that aren't going to happen, 367 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 7: but yeah, along with Europe, there's a possibility of those. 368 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: Many were discussions today, mister president. Are the territorial swaps 369 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: on the table? How will you be discussing that? 370 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 7: They'll be discussed. But I've got to let Ukraine make 371 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 7: that decision, and I think they'll make a proper decision. 372 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 7: But I'm not here to negotiate for Ukraine. I mean 373 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 7: to get him at a table, and I think you 374 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 7: have two sides. Look, Vladimir Putin wanted to take all 375 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 7: of you grant. If I wasn't president, he would right 376 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 7: now be taking all of you grant. But he's not 377 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 7: going to do it. 378 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: And so you know, we'll learn a lot more when 379 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: I interviewed the President's it's coming up shortly, so when 380 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 1: I see him, talk to him, interview him, I'll know 381 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: a lot more. One thing before I get your calls here, 382 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: I want to I did have an important interview last 383 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: night with the FBI Director Cash Patel. And remember we've 384 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: been following all of the declassification by both Tulca Gabbard, 385 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: John Ratcliffe, all the breaking news of John Solomon, and 386 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: you know, Cash Patel is this burn these burn bags 387 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: inside the FBI and hard drives from predecessors involved with 388 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: Russia Gate. And it's clear that the evidence is becoming 389 00:23:54,240 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: overwhelming and incontrovertible. And that's why Pam Bondi now has 390 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: and she was on last night, and that's why she 391 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: now has herself created a grand jury. Again, she can't 392 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: confirm that, but here's what Cash said about what they've 393 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: been able to find. Remember he was Devin Nunaz's chief 394 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: of staff. If you think I know a lot about 395 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: Trump Russia collusion because we covered it for three years, 396 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: trust me, he knows everything I know and more. Listen. 397 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 4: But sadly, we found a room locked away in the 398 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 4: Hoover building that contained burn bags. And just for your audience, Sean, 399 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 4: a burn bag is a government bag that is specifically 400 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 4: created to destroy classified evidence and shred and burn it, 401 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 4: hence the name burnbag. We didn't find one, we found seven. 402 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 4: That wasn't the only thing we found in there. We 403 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 4: found hard drives from our predecessors and prior FBI leadership, 404 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 4: and folks like Paige Struck. Call me McCabe, call me 405 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 4: the list goes on from Russia Gate. The names were 406 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 4: strewn all over these materials. Now, as our great Attorney General, 407 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 4: I just told you, we can't cannot deny or confirm 408 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 4: what we're looking at, but what we can discuss is 409 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 4: what we've publicly disclosed. And these documents have been publicly disclosed, 410 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 4: because the greatest way to educate and bring along the 411 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 4: American public for a transparency initiative and accountability under President 412 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 4: Trump is to give them the documents. And step one 413 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 4: is by cleaning house inside the walls of Hoover. 414 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: And that's cash Bettell, you know, saying what they have found. Now. 415 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: He also mentioned last night something that really caught my attention, 416 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: how we're educating the public about what happened. And if 417 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: you really if you're a long time listener to the show, 418 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: pretty much everything we've been telling you the whole time 419 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: is what happened. 420 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 4: Heg Elizath, Well, Sean, what we're doing is building a 421 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 4: case for the American public under the Truth and Transparency 422 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 4: and Accountability Initiative. And what I mean by that is 423 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 4: ag BONDI brilliantly highlighted our partners Director Ratcliff at the 424 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 4: CIA and and Director Gabbert over at the d and I. 425 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 4: We are working with them because the documents that would 426 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 4: facilitate and invent instigation of this magnitude don't just rest 427 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 4: at the FBI DOJ. They're throughout the intelligence community. And 428 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 4: we the Russia Gate guys like Johnny Ratcliffe and myself 429 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 4: who investigated this and exposed this, are trying to expose 430 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 4: documentation that we've known existed for years. At the same 431 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 4: time we're finding new material. So the best approach is 432 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 4: to release this information with them and also go to 433 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 4: our colleagues in Congress who have an oversight function on 434 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 4: the Judiciary committees and oversight committees, and demand from US 435 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 4: information and documentation that we can publicize things like the 436 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 4: Durham Annex, which we've known have existed this entire time, 437 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 4: but we're classified for political reasons. We are educating the 438 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 4: American public as we build through this transparency initiative, and 439 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 4: where the investigation goes, I can assure you of this, 440 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 4: we will max accountability for the American public. 441 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 1: All right, that's the FBI Director Cash Mattel. All right, 442 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: let's get to our busy phones. Eight hundred nine point one, Sean, 443 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program. 444 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: Let's say hi to Tim. He's here in the great 445 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: state of Alaska. Tim, you got to be proud of me. 446 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: Tried a little reindeer today, never tried it before, and 447 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: you know what, the reindeer sausage tasted like. 448 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 6: It tasted great. I know because I've had it. 449 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: No, it tasted like regular sausage, pork sausage, which is 450 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: what I usually get the same thing. 451 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 6: Well, welcome to Alaska, Sean. I'm glad you're tasting some 452 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 6: of our culture here. 453 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: Thank you.

But I am convinced that 461 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: I want to come back in the summertime for sure. 462 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm heading to Valdiz.
