Mike Porcaro, host of the popular 650 KENI afternoon radio show, was surprised this morning by a phone call from former President Donald Trump.

Trump asked, “Is Mike there?” Porcaro recalled. The two talked for several minutes about Alaska’s resource opportunities, the damaged done by the Biden Administration, and the negative impact Sen. Lisa Murkowski has had on the state of Alaska.

Porcaro said he will play the interview during the drive-time show on Friday afternoon, which can be heard live at this link in the 5 pm hour of the show.

Trump will be flying to Alaska on Saturday to headline a Save America rally that will also be a fundraiser for Kelly Tshibaka, who is running against Sen. Murkowski, and Sarah Palin, who is running for the open seat left when Congressman Don Young died in office in March. The rally, at the Alaska Airlines Center on the University of Alaska campus, is attracting international media attention. The stadium will be one of Trump’s smallest venues, holding only 5,000 people. Usually his rallies are at stadiums that hold tens of thousands of Trump fans.
