Kennedy and more joining us for
jam packed Americas newsroom
top of the hour
Ainsley. We will be watching
executive director praising
President Trump for rebuilding
his industry.
Logging has been a part of
great american story from the
beginning. With the last time
Joe Biden was in the White House,
Minnesota lost half of its
mills, thousands of jobs and
experienced nearly a decade of
decline
under President Trump we have
seen new recognition of the
value of forest management and
weve. Seen new support for our
way of life with strong, back and
strong work ethic can build a
strong middle class.
Ainsley Scott. You did a great
job, congratulations!
Scott! Thank you very much
Ainsley. I know that was so
important to you historic
moment for you.
Why was it important for you to
share your message?
Scott, well, real, quick im,
glad that when you did the
introduction you mentioned that
im executive director. I
noticed last night, some of the
tv stations identified me as
logger and trucker
im, not a logger or trucker.
I, like most people, couldnt, do
their job, but back to the
opportunity. It was an honor and
privilege. Last night, to
represent the loggers and
truckers of Minnesota and bring
a voice of the american timber
industry to the national stage
and no more appropriately than a
night that recognized american
heros, the logging industry, the
truckers. These are the guys
that get up the day before the
sunrise they go out. They work
until after dark every single
day of the week. Quite often
they just do their job. They
dont get any recognition or
attention, but during
challenging times right now, it
was important to bring their
voice their presence to the
national stage
Ainsley. How did it feel?
What was it like being up there?
Scott? Well, you can imagine.
It was somewhat intimidating. No
question about that.
We are all out of our element
when we do that kind of thing.
Im back here in Minnesota. Now
in the northwoods, enjoying our
way of life, which is quite bit
simpler.
When you get these
opportunities, you need to step
up
Ainsley yeah
Scott, not only for the industry
to represent them and tell their
story, but also to give credit
to President Trump for what he
has done and weve been working
with. President Trump and the
administration since day, one
in fact I was at the
inauguration sitting next to me-
was your Fox host Kennedy at the
inauguration.
I knew we had good seats
laughter,
the duck dynasty behind Us
Ainsley. I know
we are out of time.
Our show is almost over im. So
sorry, Scott, excellent job and
people are saying this morning.
Hollywood and Democrats go
together and the president.
