PRESIDENT PUTIN AT THE G-20 NEXT MONTH. >> Steve: SIX AFTER THE TOP OF THE HOUR, JOINING ME FORMER GOVERNOR OF THE GREAT STATE OF ALASKA, GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN, GOOD TO HAVE YOU. LUCAS WAS TALKING ABOUT PUTIN AND THREAT OF NUKES. HE'S FIRED OFF SO MANY MISSILES, EXPENSE ITCH MISSILES, RUNNING LOW ON THOSE, WORRY IS HE WILL RESORT TO A LITTLE NUKE. IN THE WORLD, NO SUCH THING AS A LITTLE NUKE. >> WE NEED TO KEEP OUR EYE ON PUTIN, THAT IS WHY ALASKA, OUR STRATEGIC LOCATION AND THE MILITARY FORCE THERE, THEY ARE ON TOP OF EVERYTHING, OUR GUYS ARE, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING HIM IN CHECK AND PUTIN AND HIS GUYS TRYING TO GET IN OUR AIR SPACE, IT IS OUR RESPONDERING OUT THERE SHOOING THEM AWAY AND LETTING THE NATION KNOW THEY ARE UP TO NO GOOD, KEEP AN EYE ON THEM. >> Brian: I THINK WE WANT ALASKA BACK, THEY WILL SAY THAT ONCE IN A WHILE. WE WILL GIVE ADDITIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE, ARE YOU FOR THAT, FOR LETTING THE UKRAINIANS FIGHT? >> I DON'T LIKE TO INTERVENE IN ANY FOREIGN AFFAIRS UNLESS AMERICA'S INTEREST IS FIRST AND FOREMOST KEPT IN MIND. THERE IS DEBATE IF WE HAVE INTEREST THERE OR NOT. TO PROTECT UKRAINIAN PEOPLE SUFFERING, YEAH, KEEP PUTIN IN CHECK. >> Ainsley: OUR PRESIDENT WAS ASKED ABOUT PUTIN YESTERDAY IN A CNN INTERVIEW AND TALKING ABOUT INFLATION AND THE ECONOMY, PPI REPORT COMING OUT THIS MORNING 8:30, HE SAYS A SLIGHT RECESSION COULD HAPPEN. BY DEFINITION, IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. WATCH THIS AND WE'LL GET YOUR REACTION. >> President Biden: BEEN SAYING THIS NOW, EVERY SICK MONTHS THEY SAY THIS AND SAY ITLET HAPPEN. IT HADN'TS HAPPENED YET. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE, I DON'T THINK THERE WILL BE RECESSION, IF THERE IS, SLIGHT RECESSION, BEEN PREDICTING THAT -- >> YOU JUST SAID SLIGHT RECESSION IS POSSIBLE. >> President Biden: IT IS POSSIBLE, I DON'T ANTICIPATE IT. WE TALK ABOUT IMPACT ON FAMILIES, FAMILIES ARE, THEY HAVE REASON TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT ENERGY PRICES, ABOUT WHOLE RANGE OF ISSUES, BUT LOOK WHAT WE'VE DONE. >> GOVERNOR, LENDING TREE SAYS 32% OF AMERICANS HAVE PAID A BILL LATE OVER THE PAST MONTHS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO COVER THE COST. >> IT IS SAD, OUR PRESIDENT IS DELUSIONAL AND A SHAME HE HAS PEOPLE PUSHING HIM OUT THERE TO SAY THINGS LIKE THAT. JUST PERHAPS CONFUSE AMERICANS WHEN WE SEE FIRST HAND WHAT IS GOING ON, OF COURSE WE'RE IN A RECESSION. $143 TO FUEL UP MY TRUCK, AND WE HAVE THE RESOURCES, OF COURSE, IN ALASKA. COULD TURN THE SPIG ON THE ON AND THERE FLOWS ENERGY DOWN THE PIPELINE THAT IS BUILT AND OPERATING. PEOPLE FIRST HAND HAVING TOUGH TIME PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE AND THEN WE HAVE A PRESIDENT, A WORLD LEADER TELLING US THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. >> Brian: HE SAID IT IS TRANSITORY. >> 52 PEOPLE HAVE A LIGHT REASON TO BE CONCERNED, ABSOLUTELY DELUSIONAL. >> Brian: WE SHOULD HAVE INCREASED PRODUCTION OF OIL AND GAS IMMEDIATELY. IN ALASKA, HOW MUCH CAPACITY IS FLOWING THROUGH THE PIPELINES? >> ABOUT TLIRT 300,000 BARRELS PER DAY, AMERICA USES 20 MILLION PER DAY AND WE ARE PRODUCING 18 MILLION PER DAY, ALASKA AT PEAK, CONTRIBUTED 18% OF THE SUPPLY OF ENERGY. IT IS THERE, THE PIPELINE IS SOUND AND READY TO GO, TURN THE SPIGOT ON, HAT IN HANNITY GOING TO BEG FOR PRODUCTION TO FUEL OUR ECONOMY, MAKES NO SENSE. >> Steve: WHITE HOUSE WILL SAY 9000 LEASES AND OIL PRODUCERS ARE NOT PUNCHING HOLES IN THE GROUND. OIL PRODUCERS HAVE A REASON FOR NOT DOING IT. >> ABSOLUTELY, THE WHITE HOUSE IS CONTRADICTING PETROLEUM ENGINEERS AND GEOLOGISTS WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING WHEN THEY TAP A RESERVE AND KNOW WHETHER OIL WILL FLOW OR NOT. IT IS NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE, IT IS A SCIENTIFIC ISSUE. >> Steve: THERE IS OIL UNDER THE GROUND OR THERE IS NOT. >> IT IS NOT POLITICAL AT ALL. >> Ainsley: TULSI GABBARD, RAN FOR VICE PRESIDENT, JOE BIDEN WON AND THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID HER REASON YESTERDAY FOR LEAVING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. >> ALWAYS BEEN INDEPENDENT MINDED PERSON AND MY LOYALTIES ARE CLEAR. I LOVE OUR COUNTRY AND TOOK AN OATH AS SERVICE MEMBER, SOLDIER AND MEMBER OF CONGRESS TO SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION, AN OATH I TAKE SERIOUSLY. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS PARTY, TODAY'S DEMOCRATIC PARTY CONTROLLED BY TYRANNICAL IDEOLOGUES WHO DESPISE THE CONSTITUTION AND FIND WAYS TO UNDERMINE THE LAW. AGREE TO DISAGREE, THEY WILL DO ALL THEY CAN TO DESTROY YOU, SILENCE YOUS, SMEAR YOU. >> Ainsley: IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THEM, YOU OBJECTION LOSE YOUR JOB, BE TRASHED AND MIGHT NOT BE INVITED TO THE COOL KIDS CLUB. >> TULSI GABBARD IS FULL OF -- SO WATCH HOW AS HER SPINE IS STRENGTHENED AND SHE GETS OUT PEELING OFF ON THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, SHE KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT. OTHERS AROUND HER WILL BE PEELING OFF FROM WHAT IT IS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY EXPECTS OF THEM. SHE IS INDEPENDENT, WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS NOT ALLOWING PART SUDDENSHIP TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT. >> IF SHE'S SMARTS, SHE WILL STAY INDEPENDENT. REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS PROBLEMS, TOO, TOO MANY REPUBLICANS ALLOW PARTISANSHIP TO GET IN THE WAY, POWER PLAYS AND ALL THAT GETS IN THE WAY. >> Brian: COMPROMISE -- >> I'M FOR INDEPENDENCE, CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVE VALUES AND POINTS IN A PLATFORM AND NOT LETTING MACHINERY ON EITHER SIDE GET IN FRONT OF DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE. >> Steve: MACHINERY SLOWS THINGS DOWN AND IT IS POISONOUS IN POLITICS. WHAT PEOPLE WANT, THEY WANT PEOPLE TO GO TO WASHINGTON AND GET SDUF DONE. >> THAT IS WHAT TULSI GABBARD IS TALKING ABOUT, PEOPLE SHOULD BE PROUD OF HER AND THE COURAGE SHE XUDS AND THAT SPREADS TO OTHER PEOPLE AND THEY FEEL EMPOWERED. >> Brian: YOU FEEL EMPOWERED TO WEAR THE RANGER BOOTS. >> YOU NOTICED, VICTORIOUS, YEAH. YOU ARE LUCKY HERE HAVING GREAT SPORTS -- >> Steve: FOR NOW. HOW LUCKY ARE WE? >> IN GENERAL, YES, YOU ARE. >> Ainsley: THANK YOU.
