| New Sean Hannity Show. | |
| More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America. | |
| Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour. | |
| All right, news roundup and information overload hour. | |
| Here's our toll-free telephone number. | |
| It's 800-941 Sean. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program, as we come to you, we are in Anchorage. | |
| We are in Alaska. | |
| We are here for President Trump's summit with Vladimir Putin. | |
| Um so many fun facts when it comes to Alaska. | |
| It's 591,000 square miles, twice the size of Texas, home of all three species of North American bears, black bears, grizzly bears, polar bears. | |
| Uh I think I prefer if I have to pick one, the black bear. | |
| Um anyway, and then you look at the history of when it was purchased, it's really fascinating. | |
| It was purchased by the United States from Russia on March 30th, 1967. | |
| And a fun fact about this, Alaska, you know, this purchase was to offset the debt of their current war. | |
| Uh this had to do with uh the struggling with debt that was accrued during the disastrous Crimean War. | |
| How ironic this is where we are today. | |
| Uh on October 18th, 1867, the U.S. purchased Alaska for two cents an acre. | |
| And then the person responded to this guy, Seward, you know, was mocked for it. | |
| Ends up being one of the greatest deals ever in the history of real estate, probably the greatest deal, uh, considering all the natural resources that are in this great state. | |
| And it has officially the lowest population density in the nation. | |
| Its constitution was adopted in 1956, became effective in 1959. | |
| It became the 49th state. | |
| Uh it has 17 of the 20 highest peaks in the U.S. They're all located here in Alaska. | |
| And, you know, I can just keep going, but I mean, it's natural resources are second to none. | |
| I've yet to try the reindeer. | |
| I noticed when I went to a great, great breakfast place this morning. | |
| They had reindeer on the menu. | |
| I looked at it, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to try it. | |
| Anyway, joining us now is the great governor of the great state of Alaska, Governor Mike Dunleavy is with us. | |
| Sir, how are you? | |
| I'm sure you're excited, and the people of Alaska here are excited about having the summit in uh your home state. | |
| Oh, absolutely. | |
| All eyes are in Alaska, Sean. | |
| And um, you really should try the Ranger. | |
| It's actually pretty good. | |
| Uh so anyway, welcome to the great state of Alaska. | |
| All right, so tell me, what's the difference between between beef and reindeer? | |
| Well, I mean, it's there's a slight difference, right? | |
| But I think uh I think what you'd be looking at is reindeer sausage, which a lot of us have for breakfast in Alaska. | |
| Um it's uh it's it's it's it tastes really good, actually. | |
| And the the best thing to do is just give it a shot yourself, and you could be the uh expert on the airwaves as to how good Alaska reindeer is. | |
| I bet you it's better than any other reindeer in the country, Sean. | |
| Listen, I'm not afraid to try anything. | |
| I'll do anything. | |
| I'm not now that you've given me that challenge, uh, before I leave Alaska, I'm I'm definitely going to try it. | |
| Um have you talked to the president about the summit? | |
| Just briefly talk to his people. | |
| We're going to get together briefly early in the morning, and my focus is going to be mostly on what's happening here in Alaska, the things that he's helping us with, including the large national gas line and our work on ANWR, NPRA, critical minerals, that sort of thing. | |
| And I'm just going to wish him nothing but the best and that Alaska is here to help. | |
| And the red carpet will be rolled out for anybody that wants to work with the president and secure some great peace initiatives in the world. | |
| in the world. | |
| You know look the old the only downside to Alaska that I see and I live in the warm free state of Florida is is the weather although the weather in Anchorage is really not that bad. | |
| I mean I have the annual you know temperatures it's it's really you know overall for example in January February the low is 14, 17 and 20 if you go into March and the high is 25, 2935. | |
| And it's you know on a yearly basis, you know, the average temperature high temperatures 46 that's a little bit cold for me but it doesn't seem to bother anybody here. | |
| No Alaska is a very interesting state on in in for example in the wintertime you could be in June o where uh in a January day it could be 45 degrees above zero the same day in Anchorage it could be 20 degrees above zero and the same day in Fairbanks Alaska it could be 60 degrees below zero. | |
| It's a big state lots of climates lots of areas but um you know um I came up in eighty three from Pennsylvania Sean and I never looked back it's just been a great state. | |
| I'd have to live eight lifetimes to see everything and do everything in this in this large terrific unique state and so uh I would say the cold doesn't bother most Alaskans that's for sure. | |
| When you look at for example more fun facts Alaska has over three thousand rivers, three million lakes uh it has an estimated hundred thousand glaciers uh more than a hundred volcanoes uh in terms of wildlife it's the most diverse by far in the entire country uh then you have the phenomenon of northern lights which from uh everything that I have heard and everything I've seen on television is amazing and | |
| you know Alaska does hold the record for the lowest recorded temperature which is minus eighty degrees Fahrenheit. | |
| I've been telling this audience I've been obsessed with the state of Alaska now I've been to all uh all the other 49 states this is the last state that I had to get to and it took this summit to get me here but now that I'm here I'm I'm thinking maybe next summer uh when you're in your warmer part of you know the mid-sixties which is considered cold in Florida um that I would like to come back and and really enjoy the outdoors here because there's so much to do. | |
| Well, we'd love for you to come back. | |
| And, Sean, what's also interesting is the highest recorded temperature in Hawaii is 100 degrees. | |
| That's pretty hot. | |
| The highest recorded temperature in Alaska is also 100 degrees. | |
| We've gotten into the 90s and summers up here. | |
| 80s are not unheard of, usually 70s. | |
| But we have the same high temperature record as Hawaii, which a lot of people find interesting. | |
| It's also, you know, I always tell people this. | |
| You know we're an Arctic state. | |
| We're a Western Pacific state. | |
| And our placement on the globe is fascinating. | |
| We're 1,000 miles closer to California, excuse me, to Australia than California. | |
| California is it's kind of a mind bender for people uh we used to have four time zones in this large state that that actually is a mind bender I wouldn't have thought that because most people that I know that have traveled to either New Zealand or Australia they usually go through California. | |
| Well yeah because that's uh you're gonna have volume in terms of uh passenger traffic but um we have direct flights for example from Anchorage to Hawaii five hours and then you can hop from Hawaii to almost anywhere else in the Pacific but our distance on the globe is very unique. | |
| We're nine hours to every industrialized place in the northern hemisphere. | |
| We are two hours closer to Moscow than Moscow is to Washington DC and I think that's one of the reasons why uh they they they put this uh uh summit here but um our position on the globe is second to none we are um we're at the center of the uh the center of the world. | |
| Yeah, I would not be shocked if uh Vladimir Putin brings up uh any chance you want to sell us Alaska back? | |
| If I was him, I'd want it back for sure. | |
| Um let me ask you this question, because I think this is pretty amazing. | |
| When I I have been obsessed with all these shows. | |
| I've been saying it all day on this program like Life Below Zero, and I watch shows, you know, the deadliest catch. | |
| I don't know if you've watched that Mike Rowe narrates that show, and he's a friend of mine. | |
| And what I find so amazing about this, the fact that people live in the most dire conditions in the wintertime and they're living off the grid, and there's no help anywhere, you know, with you know, hundreds of miles away, and there are a lot of people that live that way and live that way successfully. | |
| I'm in awe of what they what they are able to do, accomplish, survive, and and they love that way of life. | |
| Uh I'm just fascinated at how they pull off all the challenges they face every day. | |
| Well, I d you know, it's a unique state, and I I'd say there's unique people here, a lot of unique people. | |
| Um I spent almost 20 years uh if you think there are unique people here, let me tell you it's nothing compared to New York. | |
| There are some very unique people in New York City, very unique people in our nation's capital, DC. | |
| But that's another story for another day. | |
| Yeah, that's it. | |
| That's a different type of unique, Sean. | |
| Um we can talk about that for some time, but I think that's one way to put it for sure. | |
| No, but what I was gonna say was um um I spent almost 20 years in uh rural Alaska as we call it, which uh some people would say is in the middle of nowhere out in northwestern Alaska, and um I um uh I just enjoy that so much. | |
| I mean it's um it it's got uh holds some great, great memories for myself. | |
| But you know, a lot of those folks you see on those shows, I mean a lot of Alaskans know those folks, so they're they're for the most part, they're real Alaskans, and um it does give an insight, I think, to the rest of the country, how unique Alaska is. | |
| And yeah, you do have to you do have to know what you're doing up here. | |
| You can get yourself in trouble. | |
| But uh we all enjoy those shows, Sean. | |
| The other thing that I'd love about your state is the fact that there's no state income tax. | |
| I don't know, I I don't you don't even have a sales tax, I don't think here. | |
| You certainly don't have a state estate tax. | |
| And you actually pay full-time residents money because you you share in the wealth of resources uh which is the revenue that the state takes in. | |
| Um what do you take in usually on an annual basis and how much what is the average check that you'll cut the average Alaskan every year? | |
| So you're talking about our permanent fund, which is also unique to Alaska. | |
| It's uh its value right now is about eighty-four billion dollars with a B. So it makes uh us the second largest sovereign wealth fund in the world after Norway per capita, because of our small population. | |
| Uh every year there's a calculation to deliver a uh permanent fund dividend check, as we call it, to about six hundred and sixty uh six hundred and seventy thousand eligible Alaskans. | |
| The highest dividend uh that was cut in recent years was just a few years ago of thirty-two hundred dollars a person. | |
| Um and uh this past year it's uh it's roughly a thousand dollars, a little more than a thousand dollars per person. | |
| But again, it's uh it it's uh combination of calculated by a formula but also uh appropriation consent by the legislature. | |
| And so um there is no income tax. | |
| You're absolutely right. | |
| Um, and uh currently we don't have a uh statewide sales tax, and uh we do distribute a dividend. | |
| So again, another aspect that makes the state unique and uh something that the people of Alaska truly truly uh love is the permanent fund for obvious reasons. | |
| So what do you have to do to qualify for that? | |
| If I move to Alaska, how soon would it be before I you guys started cutting me a check? | |
| By the way, I'm doing more for tourism right now. | |
| I should get a percentage of that. | |
| Well, you know, we're uh we're on seven hundred and sixty stations now around the country, and I'm I'm I'm creating a a huge demand for vis for visitors to come to this great state. | |
| You're doing a great job, Sean. | |
| We'd like to have you actually and actually run your show out of Alaska because I think uh you you you you would do a great job in putting us on the spotlight. | |
| But um uh one year to be uh eligible for the um uh permanent fund dividend, um, and you'd have to fill out an application like everyone else does. | |
| But um uh we would um we would love to give you an honorary um honorary PFD certificate and um and uh kind of a thank you know for coming up to Alaska to report on this uh amazing summit. | |
| But we need you back here again in the summer. | |
| This is your first time. | |
| See, people always save they say they save the best for last, Sean. | |
| So I hope that's how you feel about coming to Alaska. | |
| No, I think it's I think it's been great. | |
| I'm glad that uh people have an opportunity to take a look at your state. | |
| Uh we appreciate your time, Governor. | |
| Thank you so much for being with us. | |
| Thank you for your hospitality. | |
| We love the people here. | |
| Uh as we continue from Anchorage 800, 941 Sean. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program, don't forget we have Cash Patel, the FBI director, Pam Bondi tonight on the Fox News Channel, and tomorrow after the summit, uh President Trump's first sit-down interview will be with will be with yours truly, and we're looking forward to that, hoping for the best. | |

| Music All right, to our busy phones as we continue from Anchorage, Alaska. | |
| Uh, we say hi to Dan is in North Carolina. | |
| Dan, how are you? | |
| Glad you called, sir. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Uh hi, Sean. | |
| Thank you for taking my call. | |
| I'd like to talk about tomorrow's meeting. | |
| And the previous discussions that Trump and Putin had, Trump trusted Putin. | |
| That's gone now. | |
| And I think that's a game changer. | |
| The gloves are going to come off, and I think that Trump is going to be the pit bull in the rule. | |
| Uh, he's going to take control, total control of the meeting, and it's going to be very aggressive. | |
| And I believe he's also going to call off Putin for his lies, his past lives before they talk about anything about peace. | |
| Um what do you what do you think of that? | |
| Listen, I think uh look, if you really break this down, the the biggest beneficiary in if the president is successful is not going to be the United States. | |
| The biggest beneficiary is going to be the world. | |
| It's going to be Europe. | |
| It's going to be Ukraine. | |
| It's going to be Russia. | |
| The death will stop. | |
| Uh hopefully you replace war with economic partnerships. | |
| And at the end of the day, I mean, that just makes for a better, safer world and less chance of of a broadening conflict. | |
| So it's a noble goal. | |
| I really appreciate the fact that no other politician would expend all this political capital. | |
| That's what delineates Donald Trump from everybody else. | |
| So we're going to wait, watch and see. | |
| All right, we'll get tomorrow your calls coming up from Anchorage 800-941 Sean. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program as we continue. | |
| When we come back, more of the best of the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| Stay tuned. | |
| You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| Information download. | |
| It's Sean's Insider Information. | |
| Hannity is on right now. | |
| We are in Beautiful. | |
| We're in Anchorage, Alaska. | |
| And it really is nice. | |
| The people are nice. | |
| They have the best country breakfast places you'd ever want to go to. | |
| I didn't try the reindeer, but I'm open to it. | |
| They have rain reindeer sausage. | |
| We'll get to it. | |
| Anyway, Congressman uh Nick Begich is with us, and he has a lot of thoughts on the upcoming summit tomorrow. | |
| We will have the first interview with President Trump post-summit with Vladimir Putin. | |
| Uh, Congressman, how are you? | |
| Great to uh be in your great state. | |
| You know, I've been to all 49 states except for Alaska now. | |
| I've been to all 50 states, and I've been a big fan of Alaska, obsessed even because of the rugged individualism. | |
| I'm obsessed with shows like Life Below Zero and uh I love the great uh Deadliest Catch and stuff like that. | |
| Um anyway, it's a beautiful state, and when I find out we pay two cents an acre, I like it even more. | |
| You saved the best for last, Sean. | |
| And for folks out there listening, if you haven't been to Alaska, put it on the list. | |
| Our state is an incredible place to visit. | |
| We've got incredible mountains and scenery, of course. | |
| We've got great fishing. | |
| Uh, you know, Mount McKinley is up here. | |
| Come check it out. | |
| It's a great place to be, but it's also a great place to host peace talks, as most folks know. | |
| Uh Alaska was actually purchased from Russia in the 1800s. | |
| Um but what a lot of folks don't realize is it was purchased from Russia because Russia was in debt from a war, and that war location, modern day Ukraine. | |
| This is not uh a new story that we're dealing with. | |
| The wartime adventurism of Russia uh has put it in precarious positions before. | |
| So it's appropriate that we're having this opportunity for peace, these dialogue uh opportunities here in Alaska. | |
| And I'm encouraged that President Trump is leading that, the world's best negotiator. | |
| They called it at the time Seward's Folly, and meanwhile, he only paid two cents an acre. | |
| And if you look at the actual size of Alaska, it's five hundred and ninety-one thousand square miles, which is twice the size of Texas. | |
| And then when you factor in all of the, you know, gold and minerals and and oil and energy and natural resources. | |
| Uh what I love about Texas, uh what I love about Alaska is the people of Alaska, they don't pay a state income tax. | |
| No, they get a check. | |
| If you're a full-time resident in Alaska, you get a check based on how much money the state government will make off their natural resources. | |
| Like, for example, what is what is the average check for every Alaskan citizen going to be this year? | |
| Well, it's about a thousand bucks this year. | |
| It's been as high as three thousand dollars per person. | |
| That's man, woman, and child. | |
| And it was structured that way because in Alaska we recognize that the wealth uh beneath our feet is a resource that's owned by the people. | |
| And so we have been able to save quite a bit of of that money coming from oil and gas and mineral resources in the state. | |
| We've invested it. | |
| We've got what we call the permanent fund. | |
| It's our own version of a sovereign wealth fund, and it prevents us from having a state sales tax and a state income tax, and the excess cash flows coming from those investments are actually distributed to the people. | |
| So it's a unique model uh here in Alaska, but it really makes every citizen a shareholder in the activity that happens in our state. | |
| All right, let's talk a little bit. | |
| Uh, I'm sure it's meaningful to everybody in Alaska that this summit is taking place tomorrow. | |
| Um the president has managed expectations, but he's cautiously optimistic, I think as he should be. | |
| And Vladimir Putin seemed to be complimentary coming into it. | |
| On the other hand, there's been other things happening. | |
| Vladimir Putin has gotten more aggressive. | |
| Uh so of the Ukrainians, for that matter, in terms of ratcheting up their their war efforts. | |
| Uh, but what Donald Trump has been doing, I think is even more interesting. | |
| He got in as part of the European Union trade deal, he got commitments for a trillion dollars in energy purchases uh by the European Union of American oil. | |
| That's right out of Putin's pocket, and that's that's money that he was otherwise using to fund his war. | |
| Uh I think that one of the second most important things he did that got Putin's attention was he pledged that he would sell the Ukrainians and Zelensky all the weapons they wanted, very different from Joe Biden who was giving them away. | |
| And I think lastly, I think the fifty percent tariff on India if they continue to import Russian oil and Russian energy uh had a huge that's that that is a huge part of the uh the economy of Russia. | |
| As a matter of fact, it is the economy of Russia, uh, which has been faltering. | |
| So I I I think there's been posturing on both sides, but I think the reason Putin decided to sit down is Donald Trump's serious. | |
| Now, if this does not go well, the President, he actually used the number I've been using. | |
| He thinks there's a 25% chance this doesn't work. | |
| But if it doesn't work, uh, I would argue that means Donald Trump's going to war with Vladimir Putin, and I'm not talking about a of a military war. | |
| He will ensure that anybody in the world that wants to do business with Russia and buy their energy is making a big mistake and will pay a big price. | |
| Look, you gotta use the tools that you've got in the toolbox. | |
| President Trump has proven that he's an expert negotiator, the world's best. | |
| He's been able to cut really incredible trade deals for the people of America, and he recognizes that the United States is the world's largest market. | |
| And so there's a lot of incentive for Russia directly and indirectly through agreements with other nations and pressure on other nations to make sure that should we not be able to achieve peace, that there is a real threat of economic pressure that gets exerted to help bring people back to the table. | |
| You gotta have dialogue if you're gonna have peace. | |
| That's this is the first step. | |
| Yes, uh, it's wise to temper expectations, but we all recognize that President Trump, when he puts his mind to things, when he puts his effort into things, when he brings the the expertise of his administration to resolve challenges and problems, they've been very successful. | |
| These first six, seven months have been incredible for the United States of America, and we are dislodging challenges that have plagued the United States for years in a very brief period of time because of Trump and the people that he's brought in. | |
| So I'm encouraged that that he's he's engaging in this dialogue, but you're absolutely right, Sean. | |
| Uh he has some uh capacity and capabilities in his back pocket, and he's prepared to use those if that's what's necessary to bring peace uh to that region. | |
| Well, he has seven peace deals that he's played a role in, and I've been listening them every single day, and and I'm hoping this is number eight. | |
| Um when you see innocent women and children dead, like we've been seeing images coming out of Ukraine, especially in recent weeks and months, uh I d I certainly don't see an upside. | |
| I don't think it you know, it's it's ironic. | |
| I said uh and what makes Trump different, is there any European lead leader that you can think of? | |
| Because they all Europe now wants to weigh in on what the deal ought to be. | |
| They're not negotiating tomorrow a deal. | |
| They're negotiating a path forward. | |
| And but we uh it's inevitable that there's going to be land swaps. | |
| There's inevitable probably the Donbass region, which is eighty percent Russian national, that that's likely going to Putin. | |
| Uh and I'm sure from from you the Ukrainian standpoint, what they're looking for the most is they want security guarantees, and that means that they can do business with the United States by our weaponry. | |
| Uh I think the European Union and and Western European countries have failed miserably. | |
| It's their continent, it's not our continent. | |
| And and there really isn't that big an upside for the United States, except that the president knows that it's well, it it's morally right to protect human life, if at all possible. | |
| And number two, the world will be better off uh if we're doing business deals and not, you know, and not engaging Uh in wars with each other. | |
| Absolutely true. | |
| You know, at the end of the day, th this is a common threat among all people in all places. | |
| We want peace. | |
| We want an environment where we can raise our kids in peace. | |
| We want to make sure that they have opportunities, if they receive a better world uh than we received. | |
| I mean, that's part of the generational promise and generational responsibility that we have as adults is to make sure that we leave the world a better place. | |
| And so these folks in Ukraine and these folks in Russia, quite frankly, look, they're ready for peace. | |
| We saw just this last week a polling from Gallup saying that 69% of Ukrainians are ready for a negotiated settlement. | |
| And that's that is reversed over the last three years. | |
| Three years ago, less than a quarter of Ukrainians wanted a negotiated settlement. | |
| People are tired of war. | |
| People are seeking peace. | |
| And it's time for the leaders of these countries to listen to their people and get to a place where the war fighting stops. | |
| Well, we hope that that's gonna happen. | |
| Uh I'm sure the people of Anchorage and the people of Alaska uh uh uh and rightly so feel honored that this is taking place in in at their home. | |
| And we appreciate you, Congressman, what you do and taking the time to be with us today. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you, Sean. | |

| Uh great honor to speak with you, and uh, you know, what uh Trump is doing here and and having you here in Alaska is this is awesome. | |
| This is great for the country and and and we couldn't have asked for anything better. | |
| And uh we're all super honored. | |
| And uh yeah, food's great. | |
| Fishing's great, uh, lots of good things in Alaska. | |
| Um I could even send you home with a box of fish. | |
| What kind of fish? | |
| Are you gonna send me home with the you know, those those king crabs that they get on deadliest cake? | |
| Make sure you don't give them any crab cakes. | |
| He doesn't like crab cakes. | |
| He gets super weird about crab cakes, right, Sean? | |
| No, we had 'em last night and she brought them on the plane and stunk up the whole plane. | |
| Expensive crab first of all and the entire hotel room. | |
| I was kind enough to do that. | |
| Why are you so angry? | |
| I'm very angry. | |
| You're very angry. | |
| We'll talk about it later. | |
| But whatever you do if you go fish and just don't get any crab, he's not a big fan. | |
| Because I didn't want crab cakes from last night leftovers for breakfast this morning. | |
| You know what's wrong with you? | |
| You don't even know why I'm mad. | |
| That's the problem. | |
| I don't even care. | |
| That's the bit that's you do. | |
| I do not care. | |
| Totally crazy. | |
| Can we talk to Phil on Alaska? | |
| Let's talk to him about not fishing for crab. | |
| Go ahead. | |
| Phil, anyway, what kind of fish could I catch? | |
| Uh, well, if you wanted uh right now, uh we've got uh the final run of the Reds that are passing through the Russian river confluence, and so you could pick some of those up there. | |
| Um also uh uh the s the silver salmon are starting to run through. | |
| Uh, you know, as far as like river fish. | |
| And if you went out into the ocean, you know, you could catch halibut and king salmon, uh which are some of the the best eaten there. | |
| Um you could eat you could even get some crab if you're really have you ever been anywhere near the Bering Straits where deadliest catches. | |
| Have you ever been out there crabbing out there? | |
| No, I I have not. | |
| Um you know, I just do local fishing, um, just small boats, but uh, you know, that's a whole different breed of people that do that, you know. | |
| Uh me personally, I don't have sea legs. | |
| Uh you get me on a boat and I'm hanging over the side most of the time, but I'm still catching my fish. | |
| But uh listen, I I this this is what I love. | |
| If you live in Alaska, the odds are very high you're an outdoors person that you are a rugged individualist, that you you know, may maybe in Anchorage is not a place where you're living off off the grid, but the fact that so many people in Alaska in remote areas live off the grid fascinates me. | |
| And the fact that, you know, you have these guys, I mean, I've been watching Deadliest Catch for years, and I can't even count the number of people on those boats that have died, you know, trying to feed all of us and how hard that that job is. | |
| And I admire all of them for it, and um can't believe how dangerous it is. | |
| But anyway, I love uh being here. | |
| Thank you so much, Phil, for your hospitality. | |
| I wish we had time. | |
| You know, people keep saying, Sean, go to Mount McKinley. | |
| I'm like, when am I going to have time to do that? | |
| I wish we would have had time to maybe do an event here in Anchorage and and meet people. | |
| Um, but I think I definitely am planning on coming back. | |
| I don't think you'll see me in December, January, February, but you might see me next August. | |
| My my blood is thin since I've moved down to the free state of Florida. | |
| Anyway, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| Uh we uh just just to give you some logistical information. | |
| Tonight on Hannity, we have both FBI Director Cash Patel and the Attorney General Pam Bondi uh on a number of topics. | |
| Obviously, the Trump Russia Collusia hoax, all the information that is now coming out, and then on the other side of it, we're gonna find out are these people gonna be held accountable, responsible for what we now know they they were involved in with the declassification. | |
| And so we'll have those those interviews, and tomorrow, right after the summit, we'll have the first interview, one-on-one interview with President Trump, and that'll also air on Fox. | |
| Quick break from Anchorage in Alaska. | |
| It's a Sean Hannity show on the road. | |
| We're at the summit as we continue. | |
| This is the best of the best. | |
| This is the Sean Hannity Show. |
