on this a little bit you going to be able to see just what we're talking about at least as far as alaska is concerned there's the air force base we've kind of blown up this area so you can see what we're talking about this is where the f. 35 there are going to join the f. sixteen's that are already there or along with the 169 air refueling unit now. what is the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this day and age and in this particular area right here around alaska well the 1st thing you have to look at is russia right why well geography geography number one history number 2 so 1st of all look at just how close the territory of the russian federation is to the territory of the united states i mean we're not talking about a lot there in fact i want to show you something i found just absolutely. incredible so they got ever new as i sort of to look into this right so there's these 2 little islands right there he knows they're much smaller than those circles are too small to even put on a map but there's 2 little islands there and one of them is called you can see him f

where is that to say come on i'll show you here's an air force base in alaska this is interesting that this move is taking place right now it's right there at the base that the have 30 five's are going to be drawing meaning the 6 teams and what else do they have there they have 169 air refueling units so it's a big operation that they're going to have there now what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area the 1st thing obviously to look at is russia right why well geography and history both play into this story look at how close sometimes we forget just how close russia and the united states are to each other maybe as close as any other country out there when you really zoom in and that's what i want to do i want to zoom in for you take a look at the thing that we just discovered there are 2 little. why lands right here in between the edge of russia and the edge of alaska one of those islands is called the big di i mean island and the other one is called di i mean island or little diabete island so this is big this is little di made this one belongs to

alaska was contemplating it at one time. started our protocols, we have pretty much had a somewhat lenient approach. we said to her folks, "stay 6 feet away from each other." we did shut down things like bars and restaurants and in-house dining. nonetheless, alaskans can get out, they can jog, they can vote, do whatever they want to do as long as they stay 6 feet away from each other. that's what it says about the ability to spread that virus. >> harris: governor -- >> i would sake alaskans are behind -- yes? >> harris: i'm so sorry, we have popped up video for a second and i wanted you to have a response to it, as thousands of people are flocking to beaches in southern california, despite the coronavirus concerns and social distancing guidelines. certain areas starting to open up their marinas and parks, so on and so forth. you are talking about personal responsibility. so i didn't mean to cut in, with the delay it's kind of hard to do it. i hope it wasn't impolite. governor, as we watch this, not everyone will follow those

what is simply from an aesthetic personal alaska. it is really hard to just say anything about alaska with not admitting on a different scale and level. just about anything we have the united states. it is really fortunate to be able to share a trip with some folks open to the central part of the state. god airdropped, hundreds of miles from the nearest town and spend the week out there watching a migration of caribou. thousands of animals as a vista that unending, not a single light in sight. not another person. looking up in the morning or would open up the tent door and asked about simon first saw is not mountains, it was the right beautiful reboot sky it was grizzly bears right there. as in my tent. it and experience hard to compare to. so alaska rated in particular, i mean, you can't national preserve. secondly i will point towards surrounding areas of national forest. experiences there has to specialist my heart rate is one of the first places my girlfriend my wife now, when saw a three week road trip. and i can't talk to you a

one is simply from an aesthetic, first of all, alaska. it showed hard to just anything about alaska without admitting that it is on a different skill and different level than just about anything we have in the united states. i was really fortunate to be able to ship a trip with some folks up into the central part of the state, got airdropped hundreds of miles from the nearest town, and spent a week out there watching a migration of caribou, thousands and thousands and thousands of animals across a vista that is an ending. not a single light insight, not a single person. waking up in the morning on the open up the tent door and a step outside and the first thing i saw was it mountains in the distance. it wasn't there great beautiful blue sky. it was apparent drizzly bears. that experience is hard to compare to. so alaska, and in particular i was in the yukon charley national preserve, reserve. secondly, i will point towards grand teton national park and the surrounding wilderness areas and national forest and that holds a special place in

joining us senator dan sullivan, republican from alaska says here you're a republican of alaska, senatorat state. among the larger oil producing states in the united states and, obviously you're dealing with this and other things as well. senator, can we start with just your view of the phase three legislation that you voted for and i guess implementing it effectively and quickly is something that we need to do and we can just take that for granted. >> sure, joe you know, you're exactly right what we're able to do here in the senate, 96 to zero by the way was pass a very important piece of legislation, bringing liquidity to small business, the broader market, help to american families, a surge of resources for our hospitals and front line workers and the health care profession but you're right this bill isn't going to be perfect. there's mistakes in it the key now sim-- is implementation i'm working with the treasury department, small business association and others to make sure it's implemented well and as quickly as possible to get these resources to americans in my state, all over the
