Hannity began by saying that he had made a phone call Penn in November of 2021 because he was interested in covering the actor’s ongoing efforts in Ukraine.
Penn recalled their conversation, in which he told the host “I don’t trust you.”
“But we have to get on with life…. We all talk about how divisive things are, how divided things are here. But when you step into a country of such incredible unity, you realize what we have all been missing. I don’t think I’ve got time to indulge my lack of trust, which becomes a petty thing, as people and babies are being vaporized, and are fighting for the very dreams that are the aspiration of all of us Americans,” he continued.
While speaking about his trust of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Penn said: “It’s clear to me Ukrainians will win this. The question is, at what cost?”
“I didn’t have the baggage with him [Zelenskyy] [that] I have with you,” he added, referring to 2007 when Hannity called Penn an “all-round very angry man” as well as an “enemy of the state.”
At the end of their interview Hannity asked if Penn felt they had developed more trust and the actor replied, “There is a lot of physical therapy after a big car incident. You don’t get it done in a day.”
