Serious concerns about America's energy output and the condition of our Navy.

0:00 Speaker 1 And joining us now here on Kats and Cosby is Senator Dan Sullivan from the great state of Alaska. Welcome here, by the way, I know you’re in studio with us here in New York. You’re here for you and week.

0:11 Speaker 2 Yes, Rita, John, it’s always great to be on the show. Thanks for having me. We love being on this show. It’s always a great discussion. So back in studio, we’re honored to be here.

0:20 Speaker 3 Well, I’m glad you’re in from Alaska. And that was a good purchase the United States made from Russia.

0:25 Speaker 2 It was a great purchase, by the way. I know you’re a great businessman, but that was two cents an acre. But I have the check in my office. It’s a it’s a copy of the real check we sent to the Russians. Seven point two million bucks. Okay, that’s some pretty good real estate. Seven point two million.

0:45 Speaker 4 Purchase was a good purchase, Jo, very good.

0:47 Speaker 3 And they should have let Trump by Greenland.

0:49 Speaker 2 They should have let Trump by Greenland. I totally agree that those would all been great. But think about two cents an acre in Alaska.

0:55 Speaker 4 Boy, we pay that one back.

0:56 Speaker 3 You got it. That was a deal.

0:58 Speaker 1 By the way, Senator you wrote a really powerful Wall Street Journal op ed a real strong story about Iran appeasement, and this presidency explained.

1:08 Speaker 2 Yeah, look, this is as I said in the Wall Street Journal this weekend. One of the hallmarks of the Biden Harris administration is appeasing Iran. They’ve appeased Iran on everything. Let me give you a couple examples. First of all, energy, something we talk a lot about on this great program.

1:27 But the Trump administration put in massive sanctions on Iran. By the end of the Trump administration, Iran had about four billion dollars in foreign reserves, which is not much at all. Wasn’t exporting hardly anything. Biden comes in with no explanation, essentially doesn’t enforce the Trump sanctions. The Iranians are now exporting close to three million barrels a day,

1:50 over one hundred million dollars in foreign reserves. And guess what they’re doing with that money? Funding equipping and training the Huthis Hamas has blah. It’s just a total failure. And then the second one, I’ll mention, real quick, look at what the look at what the Houthis are doing in the Red Sea. They’re shooting at our navy warships.

2:11 Iranian spy ships are given the houthis targeting information to sink our navy warships kill sailors and marines, and we don’t sink those navy the Iranian spy ships.

2:24 Speaker 3 That’s crazy, ap And a couple of hours ago, Iran made a statement that they’re going to continue uh doing the you know, supporting the hospital. I mean, enough is enough. Nobody’s blaming Iran and it’s Iran is its stand for for all those terrorists.

2:43 Speaker 4 Do you are, John, You’re one hundred percent right.

2:45 Speaker 2 Iran is the agent of chaos through the Middle East. Everything that’s happening bad in the Middle East right now, you can trace back to Iran. And have you ever heard President Biden or Vice President Harris even say this. No, And compared to the Trump administration that went after Iran, put massive sanctions on them, killed their number one terrorists,

3:11 General Sulamane, and then launched a peace initiative with the Arab allies that we have in the region with the Abraham Accords, that was working. Appeasement doesn’t work. And that’s the hallmark of Biden and Harrison. By the way, Kamala Harris will even be worse when it comes to the peace in her hand.

3:30 Speaker 3 It is horrible and talking about the Christian judeal world. I understand that Kamala Harris is not coming to the famous Al Smith dinner. I don’t know why.

3:43 Speaker 2 Well, look, I know that’s a big tradition here in New York. It’s a big tradition as relates to the Catholic Church here, and who the heck knows why, but it’s probably it’s not a good move, doesn’t send the right signal.

3:54 Speaker 3 Well, I think that Kamala probably Vice President Harris proper doesn’t want to go head on with President Trump at a dinner.

4:07 Speaker 4 That’s probably smart.

4:11 Speaker 3 I agree, send it anything else you want to talk, anything else you want to talk about.

4:15 Speaker 1 And also Russia to Russian incursions in Alaska, that’s made lots of enadlines.

4:19 Speaker 2 Look, the world’s in chaos because of biden weakness. We’ve seen that his weakness, particularly the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, unleashed chaos. All the authoritarians started working together. But in my great state, you can see what’s happening. The Russians in the Chinese are in the air off Alaska, are in the oceans off Alaska or in the submarine areas

4:46 off Alaska. I mean, we’ve had so many it doesn’t make a lot of new news down here in the lower forty eight. We’ve had so many incursions by the Russians and Chinese in our air space, this in our waterways.

5:02 And it’s just the authoritarian aggression that I think the weakness of the Biden administration cut and defense spending. This is why we need President Trump in office. But it’s Biden Harris weakness and we’re seeing it. Alaska’s on the front lines and we’re seeing it. We’ve seen it all summer.

5:19 Speaker 3 Well, thank you so much. Anything else you want to tell you American people. You’re in New York, the New York, New York.

5:26 Speaker 2 I mean, here’s what I want to tell you in New York. If you need a great vacation from New York, come on up to the great state of Alaska and visit us. You will have the time of your life.

5:40 Guaranteed you have an invitation from the Senator from Alaska.

5:45 Speaker 4 Come on up and see us in Alaska.

5:48 Speaker 3 Look forward to it. Thank you so much, Senator

5:50 Speaker 4 Thanks, thanks, thank you
