The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Mike Rowe & Gov. Mike Dunleavy ｜ 3⧸12⧸24

00:00:00.000 Mike Rowe is on the show today with a lot to say about piles of dead bodies and piles of crap.

00:00:06.880 You'll understand when you get there. Also, we talk to the governor of Alaska, who has more,

00:00:15.680 what did he call them, restrictions or sanctions on him from this administration,

00:00:21.060 then this administration is put on Iran. And he tells the story of Alaska pretty much disappearing.

00:00:31.680 You don't want to miss that. And we talked to Dr. Kat Lindley. She is an expert on what the WHO is doing.

00:00:40.560 We're running out of time to make sure that the WHO does not usurp our sovereignty with these new treaties.

00:00:48.700 They're definitely not calling it a treaty because then it would have to be voted on in the Senate.

00:00:53.440 New restrictions and guidelines for America. You'll find all of that and so much more on today's podcast.

00:01:01.000 First, pre-born is not easy to face. This country has blood on its hands. 1.00

00:01:08.000 Nearly 65 million innocent lives have taken in abortion, murder since Roe versus Wade.

00:01:14.880 Now that Roe is gone, there's still a lot of work to do because we can't erase the terrible history we've built

00:01:21.180 with our unborn children in this country. But we can at least change the future a little bit.

00:01:26.740 And they've upped their game because now abortion clinics are your daughter's bathroom, the house. 1.00

00:01:35.140 It's horrible what's going on.

00:01:37.520 The Ministry of Pre-Born is working on this every day by introducing an expecting mom to her unborn baby 0.99

00:01:43.000 through a free ultrasound. Pre-born doubles the chances that she, the mom, will choose life. 0.97

00:01:48.820 They've rescued over 280,000 babies through love, compassion, and free ultrasounds.

00:01:53.240 Every day they rescue about 200 more.

00:01:55.640 Please, they need your help.

00:01:57.640 One life-saving ultrasound is $28.

00:02:01.080 Just $28 and you could save the life of a mom and a baby.

00:02:05.520 To donate securely, dial pound 250, say the keyword baby.

00:02:09.340 That's pound 250, keyword baby.

00:02:12.040 Or donate securely at preborn.com slash beck.

00:02:16.880 Sponsored by Pre-Born.

00:02:18.180 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:33.400 Dr. Kat Lindley.

00:02:36.120 She is a family physician and a Global Health Project co-founder and president.

00:02:41.600 And she is the director of globalcovidsummit.org.

00:02:45.860 Doctor, welcome to the program.

00:02:49.320 Thank you for having me today.

00:02:51.100 You bet.

00:02:51.900 So tell people, most people don't know anything about this.

00:02:56.860 What is the WHO doing?

00:03:00.720 So exactly as you said, they came together in 21 and decided that we need better protection

00:03:06.120 from future pandemics because that's what they feel, that we're going to have this perpetual

00:03:11.660 state of emergent pathogens and new pandemics.

00:03:16.700 What they're trying to do is negotiate at the same time two documents.

00:03:20.360 One is the treaty that they are calling an agreement currently because they're trying

00:03:24.860 to get away from calling it a treaty since treaties have to be ratified in our Senate.

00:03:31.160 So this is one document.

00:03:32.880 The other one is amendments to international health regulation.

00:03:36.560 They really need to be looked at together because exactly as you said, if they are passed

00:03:42.560 in May of this year by the World Health Assembly in Geneva, it would give powers to director

00:03:49.260 general in an event of public health emergency to decide that the area needs to be closed,

00:03:56.000 the borders can be closed.

00:03:57.600 They can issue quarantine, isolation.

00:03:59.780 They can dictate to the member states what type of therapeutics we use, diagnostics, vaccines.

00:04:07.140 There is a huge push for more censorship of voices that don't feel the same as the World Health

00:04:14.060 Organization.

00:04:14.960 There is this war on infodemics.

00:04:18.320 There is going to be a sharing of intellectual properties, more push for EUAs to approve new

00:04:26.120 products.

00:04:26.980 And all in all, when you really look at the documents and read both of them, you really

00:04:32.920 understand that this is an attack on U.S.

00:04:35.140 Constitution, specifically First Amendment, Fourth, Tenth, and Fourteenth Amendment.

00:04:41.260 Okay, good.

00:04:42.400 But only those.

00:04:43.760 Only those.

00:04:44.380 That's good.

00:04:47.740 People will say, oh, this is a conspiracy.

00:04:51.160 They're not trying to take away.

00:04:53.300 They're just trying to help.

00:04:54.560 They're just trying to help.

00:04:56.980 Well, yes, that's actually the big push that Director General Tedros always says.

00:05:04.860 For the future generations, we must pass this pandemic agreement because we need to protect

00:05:10.280 them.

00:05:10.520 And if we don't, we are failing at our jobs.

00:05:13.640 In reality, you have to see that the World Health Organization is trying to position themselves

00:05:20.260 to become this global health authority.

00:05:24.080 There is also something in the Article 5 of the pandemic agreement called One Health.

00:05:30.980 And One Health essentially says that the lives of humans are not more important than animal,

00:05:39.140 plants, and everything is intertwined with the climate change.

00:05:43.060 So with this One Health Agenda, the World Health Organization will essentially have power over,

00:05:50.940 you know, the full aspect of life on Earth.

00:05:54.860 Oh, that's fantastic.

00:05:56.120 Is the World Health Organization still in bed with the Chinese, or is that something that 0.99

00:06:01.620 can change from time to time just based on the, I don't know, the appointments of the

00:06:08.840 people?

00:06:09.300 Or is this still an arm of the Chinese?

00:06:13.320 Very much so.

00:06:14.400 Tedros was actually a position with the support from China and specifically United Nations.

00:06:21.120 As you're well aware, the World Health Organization is the subsidiary of United Nations.

00:06:28.900 And there is actually, it's interesting to watch both of these organizations at the same

00:06:32.940 time because the UN is pushing for global governance.

00:06:37.300 And they are pushing for this CBDC, the Central Bank Digital Currency.

00:06:42.400 If you combine that with the World Health Organization push for vaccine digital passport that they have

00:06:49.400 adopted from European Union, you can really see this possibility of reaching social credit score

00:06:58.800 system that they already have in China.

00:07:01.040 These are not conspiracy theories.

00:07:02.820 You just have to read their documents.

00:07:04.860 So they lay it all there.

00:07:06.540 Yeah.

00:07:06.940 Are you getting any attention at all from the mainstream media?

00:07:12.400 No, mainstream media really likes this pandemic agreement.

00:07:16.260 Luckily, we are getting some support from legislators on federal level and specifically on state

00:07:22.700 level.

00:07:23.380 I feel that I listen to you all the time.

00:07:27.680 So I know you are well aware of our political landscape.

00:07:31.680 Yes.

00:07:31.920 On federal level, we will have a difficult time because Biden administration is the one pushing

00:07:38.080 for most of these amendments.

00:07:39.660 Yes.

00:07:39.920 And they are very much in favor of the pandemic agreement.

00:07:43.800 But on state level, we can actually protect ourselves because of the 10th Amendment.

00:07:49.300 And in New Hampshire, I testified in February on a bill, HB 1156, that would not allow any

00:07:57.620 jurisdiction to the World Health Organization on state level, on county levels and things like

00:08:05.740 that.

00:08:06.060 So they are going for a full vote on the floor this Thursday.

00:08:11.120 And we need all hands on deck.

00:08:13.500 We need everyone in New Hampshire to call their representatives because it made it out of the

00:08:18.780 committee split, right?

00:08:21.040 Democrats were against this bill and Republicans obviously understand the dangers.

00:08:26.080 So we need people to call their representatives and push for this bill to be passed.

00:08:30.500 And that is in New Hampshire.

00:08:31.600 And when is that decision that vote?

00:08:36.420 Thursday.

00:08:37.120 And bill is HB 1156.

00:08:40.200 1156.

00:08:41.640 Okay.

00:08:43.100 We'll put some notices out.

00:08:45.920 If you're in New Hampshire, please call.

00:08:48.760 This happens Thursday.

00:08:50.540 And the 10th Amendment is the amendment that says anything that's not enumerated in the Constitution

00:08:58.060 as a federal power, all of that goes back first to the people or first to the states and the

00:09:04.600 people.

00:09:05.800 And if it's if it's not spelled out in the Constitution, then they have no they have no

00:09:13.120 jurisdiction.

00:09:13.700 The state can can make the rules on that.

00:09:17.940 And so you're trying to use the the 10th Amendment saying that there's there's nothing in the

00:09:25.080 Constitution that says what exactly what are they claiming is their power?

00:09:32.080 The health care, the police power, when it comes to health care of the citizen of the

00:09:36.720 state are go to the federal.

00:09:38.640 I mean, to the state level.

00:09:40.260 Federal level has no jurisdiction over the health care of the citizen.

00:09:45.840 So this is why it's important to actually push for this to protect the states so that

00:09:53.480 the World Health Organization, if they decide we need future lockdowns, new vaccines, quarantine

00:09:59.120 and things like that, the state agencies do not have to comply and should not comply.

00:10:05.280 How different would COVID have been if this were in play?

00:10:09.540 Not only that, how different the COVID would have been if the physicians were allowed to

00:10:16.280 do what we know best to do, you know, early treatment, us really coming in first line and

00:10:23.520 taking care of the people and then speaking with our agencies and our agencies listening

00:10:28.300 I would say the only good thing that happened during COVID era is that we realized that our

00:10:36.200 government, I know you know this, but most people didn't realize that our government is not really

00:10:41.440 working for us and that there are too many strings attached with many of these agencies.

00:10:47.720 You know, someone like me, I understand what has happened because I look at it through global

00:10:53.080 eyes, you know, build back better. When have you had these heads of state in every country say

00:10:59.580 exactly the same words, build back better?

00:11:02.540 You had me at hello.

00:11:04.880 Yes.

00:11:06.820 And, you know, people need to realize that this truly is an attack on national

00:11:13.480 sovereignties of all the countries.

00:11:15.140 You know, I was in Croatia in December testifying in their parliament and that's exactly what I

00:11:22.220 said. You know, Croatians need to remember who they are, love their country and take back their 1.00

00:11:27.400 power. The same thing with Americans. This is a country that understands freedom, that understands

00:11:33.700 this is the most important thing we have in the world and we need to take back our power. Simple as

00:11:39.600 that.

00:11:39.820 How concerned are you just as an individual that, you know, grew up under communism, left

00:11:46.240 Yugoslavia, I think when you were about 18 and got to Italy and then to America.

00:11:52.220 To go to school. How concerned are you with what you're seeing in just America itself?

00:12:01.220 You know, I am a true example of what American dream is. And I have five children. I do fear for

00:12:09.260 their future. I fear, you know, with everything that's happening, the transgender policies, we're 1.00

00:12:15.200 trying to confuse our children and who they are so that they are easily controlled. You know, I hate

00:12:22.480 this bipartisan divide because we all should value what America stands for. If you lose this country,

00:12:30.000 if you lose the freedom, you know, America is a beacon of hope for so many people like myself. And

00:12:37.280 every, everyone, when I speak with people around the world, everyone says eyes are on United States,

00:12:42.400 you know, you guys get your act together, do something. We're letting it slip through our

00:12:48.320 fingers. And, uh, I'm a realist. And I have to tell you, I'm, I'm afraid. I am really afraid. We need a

00:12:56.800 complete change of leadership in November. Every person needs to go and vote. They need to become

00:13:05.360 poll watchers. They need to do whatever they can to make sure that we have fair elections, that our

00:13:11.520 voices are counted, and that whoever is in leadership next understands that this country is such a unique

00:13:19.140 place in the world, and there is no place like this. Dr. Kat Lindley, thank you. We'll talk again.

00:13:25.600 The thing that you can do right now is educate yourself. Go to globalcovidsummit.org, globalcovidsummit.org.

00:13:33.680 If you live in New Hampshire, there is a vote on bill 1156 on Thursday. Um, it, it must pass and stop, uh,

00:13:44.240 the federal government from giving the state sovereignty away. Uh, your doctors will not be able to speak out.

00:13:52.220 Your doctors will be silenced, uh, and we will be controlled by the World Health Organization.

00:13:59.580 Something really run by China and the United Nations. I don't know. I'm not really for it.

00:14:05.540 Wake up, America. Doctor, thank you very much for joining us. All right, you can call me a snob if you must,

00:14:11.080 but I do have certain convictions and principles in this life, and I stand by them. And one of those principles is,

00:14:16.960 I mean, sure, it might be nuclear winter outside, but can't we have something warm and yummy on the

00:14:23.380 inside? Your food should still taste good, even though, you know, the world has come to an end.

00:14:30.280 Um, I mean, you should, I mean, one of the other principles, you should actually have food,

00:14:34.720 and then it should be good. In an emergency situation, you need food that won't go bad,

00:14:40.320 tastes delicious, and my Patriot Supply has exactly that. They have helped my family and millions of

00:15:29.680 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:15:35.340 Friend of the program, Mr. Mike Rowe. How are you?

00:15:38.380 First of all, um, with regard to your sponsors. Yes. Excellent choices. Thank you. I love this

00:15:44.640 foundation and at the risk of just shameless pluggery and wanton capitalism, uh, this is an

00:15:50.820 American giant shirt. Oh my gosh. They, uh, I have that shirt. I have that shirt. I think you wore it

00:15:56.960 last time I was here and I thought, what are the odds that we'd show up looking like the Pops and

00:16:00.840 Twins? But you know, Bayard, he's a friend of mine. I love him. And I've had him on my podcast and

00:16:06.960 he's, uh, featured in a new book that you'll love if you haven't seen it. It's called flannel.

00:16:12.100 Yep. And it's all about what it really takes to make this shirt. Shockingly difficult. It is

00:16:20.520 amazing, brother. I mean, I, I know, you know that you gave me a shirt 10, 11 years ago when you were

00:16:27.540 doing, what was it? 1791. Yeah. I still have it. It was like, it's like a canvas work shirt. Yeah.

00:16:33.480 And ever since that, man, I've been obsessed with trying to better understand the drama and the

00:16:41.680 trauma of getting textile manufacturing back in this country. It's mind boggling. If, if companies

00:16:47.860 like Levi's would do 5% of their, of their manufacturing here in America, America would

00:16:55.900 change. Yep. Would change for sure. No interest in it at all. It's, I mean, when you really start to

00:17:01.420 peel back the layers and this is, I don't know if this is on your agenda of stuff to talk about,

00:17:05.580 but it is, I just did a whole thing on the toothpick, like the business. We used to be the

00:17:11.720 toothpick capital of the world. We're very proud of it. It was a giant industry up in Maine, you know,

00:17:17.440 white birch. I mean, the, there's the book on it is amazing. And when you slowly see the way that we

00:17:23.880 basically gave up on toothpicks, you can start to understand the way we gave up on textiles.

00:17:29.280 And then you start asking questions like, well, what hope does Detroit really have?

00:17:35.040 Like if we can't get the splinter, right. If we can't get a shirt, right. Right. So there are no

00:17:40.940 small things. Anyway, what, what American giants doing, I think is, I think it matters because,

00:17:46.700 because, because they're 13 years at it now. Right. So that's, you know, good for you for having

00:17:51.600 them on. I love them. I love them. So Mike, let's just talk about the state of the world because

00:17:58.920 we are being boxed. If you're a small business guy, you have under 20 employees. You now have a

00:18:06.000 transparency act where you'll spend two years in jail. If you don't tell the federal government,

00:18:11.580 the treasury crimes division, uh, everything that they want to know. Um, I don't know how much that's

00:18:19.300 going to cost the small businessman, uh, in just time alone. Plus you have the proact, which is now

00:18:28.360 just been done through the department of labor. We don't vote on anything anymore. It's just a new

00:18:31.880 guidelines. Yes. Yes. New guidelines. Yeah. And, uh, what is that going to do to, when we think gig

00:18:39.000 economy, we think, you know, Uber drivers, et cetera, no, no, no truckers alone. Will we have

00:18:46.580 groceries at our stores? 50,000 in California alone, 50,000. I had a guy on my podcast called

00:18:53.880 Tom Odom, who's one of these truckers and he's been written about in the press. And I was just so

00:18:59.160 interested in his story. He, in fact, I interviewed him while he was in his truck driving across the

00:19:05.560 fruited plane, you know, and he just pulled over and we had this amazing conversation,

00:19:09.360 but people, I like to talk about it in terms of unintended consequences, but I realize now that

00:19:17.360 I might be giving too much credit, too much. Right. But look, I'm, I'm, I'm trying to stay in

00:19:23.480 whatever lane is left to me. But when I, when I first saw that lane away from you soon, it's getting

00:19:30.560 narrow, man. It's very narrow. It's getting narrow. Um, when I first saw this thing rear

00:19:36.320 its ugly head, it was, uh, it, to your point, uh, aimed toward the gig economy in Silicon Valley,

00:19:43.680 mostly Uber and Lyft. And then it just grew and grew and grew graphic artists, writers,

00:19:51.620 cinematographers, dancers, uh, so many people. And I'm like, how many are actually going to be

00:19:58.860 impacted? And then the question was how many people are actually freelancing right now? And

00:20:03.620 the answer is north of 70 million in the whole country. And so what the drafters of AB five asked

00:20:10.280 us to believe initially was that huge numbers of workers were being shamelessly victimized by

00:20:17.760 greedy and rapacious capitalists who should have hired them as employees and therefore opened the

00:20:24.820 door to benefits and so forth. Now, did that ever happen? Yeah, I suspect it's a big country and

00:20:31.060 there's exceptions to every rule, but the number of people who were adversely affected prior to this

00:20:38.120 versus the number of people who have now lost the freedom to work the way they want is mind boggling.

00:20:43.720 It's, and it happened in California, of course. And to your point, it's happened and is happening

00:20:49.820 right now. And when people realize what this means, you know, you want to set your own schedule,

00:20:55.520 forget it. You want to eat what you kill, forget it. We don't, we don't want to think that way

00:21:01.980 anymore because that person might fail. And if that person fails, well, then the narrative goes,

00:21:09.440 we just can't tolerate that. I'm sure you've been to Buckingham palace and, uh, Windsor castle.

00:21:14.400 I was just over there for the first time and, uh, the new King was in the castle. Uh, and he's got

00:21:21.900 this whole wing by himself and he lands his giant helicopter right there in his backyard.

00:21:28.280 And I've never been like, I've, I've been to, you know, the American castles and I've never had a

00:21:35.880 problem with it. Never. I walked through that castle and it pissed me off the entire time because I

00:21:42.340 thought there is no one in this country that could ever build this except the one who's cornered the

00:21:51.400 market. Right. You know, there's no opportunity, none to actually become something because the

00:21:58.620 government has you so pigeonholed and people just accept it. And I don't want to be like that. I don't

00:22:06.220 want to live in that kind of country. You know, if there's no risk, there's no reward. Well,

00:22:11.500 there's the four letter word, right? Risk, I guess risk and maybe debt are the, the only four letter

00:22:18.800 words right now that I think are truly for sale. You know, we have to have honest conversations

00:22:24.520 about both of those things. The willingness to accept risk is the fundamental bedrock of freelancing.

00:22:32.380 Right. And not everybody is willing to take that risk. Some people just want a stable job and there's

00:22:37.680 absolutely nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. It's, it's so similar. I think the reason

00:22:41.740 this thing has become such a, an issue for me is because it, it translates perfectly into a four-year

00:22:49.840 education versus a trade school. This idea that we have to put our thumb on the scale, this idea that

00:22:57.840 one has to be elevated at the expense of the other is precisely what's informing the proact. We're not

00:23:05.600 saying that it's, that it's good to be an employee. We're saying it's so good that if you don't do that,

00:23:13.780 then you're doomed. You, you, you are engaging in a level of behavior that's so risky. You're actually

00:23:19.900 posing some sort of existential threat, not just to yourself, but to your family,

00:23:23.720 to your neighbor and so forth. So it's, it's amazing how we can't simply put all the options

00:23:33.740 on the table and let the grownups decide what fits best. I got to tell you, you say, even in today's

00:23:42.020 world where universities are taking our children and molding them into the exact, Woodrow Wilson

00:23:49.940 said, the job of a university is to make a man the most unlike his father as possible. Okay. That was

00:23:58.200 his goal. Um, and that's really kind of the goal now, I think in many, in many places. Um,

00:24:05.880 and so many people will say, cause I've got two teenagers, are they going to go to college?

00:24:12.440 No, probably not. One of them, maybe the other one trade school, maybe don't know, don't know.

00:24:18.620 It's going to be up to them. And what is the value of a big, expensive $250,000 education?

00:24:28.300 If you're not going to use it, if you don't have something, if you're just like, wow, I think I'm

00:24:34.120 going to do this. A, the world is changing so fast. We don't know what jobs are going to be there.

00:24:40.140 I worry that I'm the product of a liberal arts education. I got one. It served me well. I'm glad

00:24:47.440 I got one. Yeah. Did it lead directly to my chosen field? No, it did not. But it comes in handy every

00:24:55.680 single day. And mine consists of two years at a community college and another couple of years at

00:25:02.680 university. And when I finished in 84, the whole thing costs $12,200, all of it. Today, same school,

00:25:10.300 same course loads, 92 grand. Now, nothing in the history of this country has increased faster than

00:25:17.120 the cost of a four-year degree. Bitcoin, Bitcoin, Bitcoin. Well, or, but then fallen and then back.

00:25:24.360 Right. I mean, look, it's, but, but I mean, really, if you look at healthcare,

00:25:28.540 if you look at real estate, if you look at food, and if you look at energy, the big four,

00:25:34.160 those things have all been eclipsed by the cost of a four-year degree. But still, we can't help

00:25:40.020 ourselves. Still, we've told this whole generation, if you don't get one, you're screwed. Right. And

00:25:46.020 that's criminal. It's a shame because my liberal arts education right now is on this thing.

00:25:52.580 All of it. Yes. All of it. I've got access to 98% of the known information right now for free.

00:25:58.800 Yeah. Okay. But still, still we charge. During lockdowns, Columbia raised their rates. NYU raised

00:26:07.920 their rates. And we still paid it. Right. So look, it's, it's easy to look at the Ivy League,

00:26:14.360 especially now, and, and point to all sorts of embarrassments. Yeah. But it's, it's not even

00:26:21.080 about that. It's, it's just this bigger thing that's happening where a whole chunk of our workforce

00:26:27.360 is tied to a whole chunk of our education system that has been, that has become the proximate cause

00:26:34.800 of derision. I said to my son, where did you learn that? He said, oh, I can audit a course at MIT

00:26:47.280 online. Oh, okay. Yeah. I mean, you, you have the opportunity unlike any human has had,

00:26:57.200 and yet it's a bad thing. You are listening to the best of Glenn Beck. To listen to the rest of this

00:27:04.300 interview, check out the full show podcast. I guess we should update you. Uh, there is the,

00:27:11.940 uh, hearing today on the guy who gave president Biden a, a pass, uh, saying, oh, you know what?

00:27:20.400 He's just, uh, he's just a, you know, kind old man. Who's just forgetful. Yeah. Well-meaning elderly 1.00

00:27:28.360 man with a poor memory. Yeah. Yeah. Um, the transcript has actually been released

00:27:34.340 and the transcript is a little shocking. I didn't think it was shocking at all. Actually,

00:27:41.160 I've watched Joe Biden for multiple years and this is about how I think he is in private. Now it's weird

00:27:45.940 because the, the portrayal of Biden by the media and of course the Democrats is that when he's in

00:27:54.360 public, he's a bumbling idiot. Sure. But you don't see him like we do when he's behind the scenes,

00:28:01.900 he's always on top of everything. In fact, it's so impressive. None of these 25, 30 year old aides

00:28:07.920 can even keep up with the guy. I mean, it is incredible. It's so stupid. And if you believe

00:28:12.820 that you literally will believe anything or anything. Um, but I thought some of the transcript

00:28:17.020 was, it was interesting. Can I give you some of this? This is a, from the people were talking

00:28:22.300 about how he couldn't remember dates. And I think it's overblown after reading the transcript,

00:28:26.280 but you, you make up your own mind. Here's Joe Biden. He said, this is from the New York Times.

00:28:31.560 This is actually the part of the New York, uh, of the transcript, the New York Times

00:28:34.760 wanted you to know. Yeah, wanted you to know. Occurred. Biden, quote, well, um, I, I, I,

00:28:46.300 I, I, I, I, don't know. This is, what, 2017, 2018, in that area? Mm-hmm. He's, uh, her answers,

00:28:59.880 yes, sir. Remember in this time frame, my son is either been deployed or is dying.

00:29:10.160 It's 2017?

00:29:11.320 2017, 2018, Glenn.

00:29:12.640 When did he, when did he die?

00:29:13.860 2015. Oh, whoops. So he's either deployed or dying in 2017 or 18. Mm-hmm. And he says,

00:29:24.080 uh, but he's either been deployed or dying and, and so it was, and by the way, there were still

00:29:30.960 a lot of people at the time when I got out of the Senate that were encouraging me to run

00:29:35.180 in this period, except the president. Which is just sad that he has to admit this. Yes, yes.

00:29:43.260 Um, and, and I'm not, and that's not a mean thing to say. He just thought that she had a better

00:29:48.300 chance of winning the presidency than I did. It says quite a bit. The most hated woman in all of 1.00

00:29:54.820 politics. Ah, she's a better bet. And so I hadn't, I hadn't, at this point, even though I'm at Penn,

00:30:03.540 I hadn't walked away from the idea that I may run for office again. But if I ran again, I'd be running

00:30:09.400 for president. And, and so what was happening though? What month did Bo die? Oh God, May 30.

00:30:19.860 And then all of the lawyers step in at this point, a white house lawyer, uh, 2015, 2015,

00:30:26.120 unidentified male speaker, 2015. And he says, was it 2015? He had died?

00:30:33.080 Mm-hmm. Unidentified male speaker. It was May of 2015. Biden. It was 2015.

00:30:42.260 Biden's personal lawyer. Or I'm not sure the month, sir. I'm not sure that was the year though.

00:30:46.600 Another person shoving in. That's right. Mr. President. It was 2015. All these other people

00:30:50.900 remember when his Biden son died. And he said, and what happened in the meantime is that as,

00:30:57.740 and Trump gets elected in November of 2017? Question mark? Unidentified male speaker, 2016.

00:31:07.280 We have actually elections every four years. Yeah, he doesn't know that. It's always an even

00:31:10.600 number. Yeah. You know, without question. He's only been in government his entire life. Yes,

00:31:15.500 so how would he know that? That's, you know, of course, that's just the Senate. Um, 2016, uh,

00:31:21.220 2016. All right. So why do I have 2017 here? That's when you left office. January of 2017,

00:31:29.760 says the White House counsel. Yeah. Okay. But that's when Trump gets sworn in January. You see,

00:31:36.360 he's just repeating what other people, after he's wrong, people correct him. And then he just repeats

00:31:41.500 what they're saying. And every person has seen this with an old relative, right? Like when you're in a

00:31:46.980 conversation with them, they don't know what the answer is. You tell them, and then they kind of just

00:31:50.500 repeat it. Like helps them kind of, you know, center themselves on what's going on. When you

00:31:55.360 don't have somebody to give you, uh, something to repeat, this is what that relative sounds like.

00:32:00.840 This is from yesterday. Cut one. Tremendous amount of things you can cut. It may be precisely

00:32:07.140 tremendous amount of things you can do, not cut. He said, I will. And the bottom line is he's still at it.

00:32:17.180 Oh my God. Wow. So you got that going for you. Now, this is the guy

00:32:21.400 who is, according to the governor of Alaska, Mike Dunleavy, uh, sanctioning Alaska more than he has

00:32:30.740 sanctioned Iran. Governor Dunleavy, welcome to the program. Hey, Glenn. Good morning. Hey, 0.96

00:32:37.600 good morning. So, uh, I know it's really early for you. Um, uh, thank you for being on the program.

00:32:43.320 That's quite a statement to make. Well, it is, but if you look at the 55, 56 actions now compared to the

00:32:53.780 19 actions that have been, uh, set against Iran in 2000, starting in 2005, this is 55 actions since

00:33:01.500 the Biden administration came into office against one of its own States, a resource producing state

00:33:06.920 like Alaska. And so it is serious. It is real. And, um, many of us in Alaska viewed as an economic war

00:33:15.980 on Alaska. So 56 executive orders and actions targeting your state. Can you go through some of

00:33:23.820 them? Oh, uh, absolutely. Uh, so for example, in 2017, under the jobs act that was, that was passed

00:33:32.360 by Congress and sign it to law by president Trump. Now that required lease sales in Anwar,

00:33:39.640 the Arctic national wildlife refuge, the coastal plain area that was always up for oil production.

00:33:45.760 Anyway, those leases were sold and then under the Biden administration, they unilaterally canceled

00:33:50.840 them. That's a violation of law. That's huge because that has one of the last remaining large

00:33:56.160 oil and gas fines, probably in North America that was taken off the list. Offshore oil leases in the

00:34:02.460 Arctic off the list, 13 million acres in NPRA. Now NPRA national petroleum reserve up in Alaska

00:34:10.400 that was founded over a hundred years ago under president Hardy. Its sole purpose was to provide

00:34:15.960 oil for the nation. It was a naval preserve, a naval petroleum preserve at first. And so this is just a

00:34:23.060 a handful of, of, of, of incidents of what we call sanctions against Alaska that make it difficult

00:34:30.820 for us to produce oil, um, makes it difficult for us to mine, makes it difficult for us to even get

00:34:37.240 into the, uh, Tongass national forest for timber, the largest national forest in the United States.

00:34:42.760 We really can't get into that forest to harvest. This is one thing that I have, I've not experienced.

00:34:49.340 Um, so I don't know if I understand it. They're, they're no longer building roads or maintaining

00:34:55.820 any of the roads. So you can't get in, uh, to, to haul lumber out. And then they've also

00:35:01.980 banned you from taking out, uh, mature lumber. Is that right?

00:35:08.840 Old, old growth. That's correct.

00:35:10.780 Old growth.

00:35:11.280 And not, and not only are they not building roads and they dismantled all of the, um, the, the,

00:35:16.340 the, the mills that were in Southeast Alaska. And this happened under the, uh, under the Clinton

00:35:21.240 administration. However, under president Trump, he began to restore it as an actual working force

00:35:27.160 for, for timber, for mining, for recreation. And then when the Biden administration came in,

00:35:32.300 they once again closed it down again. And so it's just been a series, um, each year of different

00:35:39.780 actions, different executive orders that, uh, are targeted against Alaska. And Glenn, here's the

00:35:45.300 interesting thing. I don't think your listeners understand about Alaska. We were the only state

00:35:49.960 required at statehood in 1959 in our statehood act. We were required to collectivize all of the

00:35:56.740 resources in Alaska under the government, under the state government. And the reason for that is

00:36:02.500 those that were, were contemplating allowing Alaska to become a state felt it had too small of a

00:36:08.160 population, about 150 to 200,000 people to pay for itself through things like an income tax or a

00:36:14.300 statewide sales tax. So they compelled us to collectivize those resources to develop those

00:36:19.400 resources to pay for ourselves. And that's the, the cruel irony of this whole thing is we were allowed

00:36:25.500 to come into the state, uh, as long as we developed our resources. And now we're being told we can't

00:36:31.180 develop our resources, which means our viability as a state is in question. I'm looking at the,

00:36:38.100 the map, um, of Alaska. And by the way, you know, this Alaska is far more beautiful than anybody could

00:36:47.360 ever describe. It is stunning. Um, and it's also enormous flying over Alaska. You're like, when does

00:36:57.860 this state ever end? Um, but, uh, I'm looking at the map, you maybe have maybe a third of Alaska is

00:37:10.120 not protected now? Uh, pretty much. Yes, that's correct. And as a matter of fact, uh, you know,

00:37:17.420 we had national parks before 1980 and in the waning days of Jimmy Carter, his gift to Alaska on the way

00:37:24.240 out was to build even more monuments and wilderness areas, taking up millions and millions of acres off

00:37:30.200 the table for Alaska's ability. Once again, to develop some of those resources. And by the way,

00:37:35.960 Glenn, we develop our resources, uh, the little that we're allowed to in probably the most responsible

00:37:41.500 manner in the world. And what, what, what really befuddles many of us up here is the environmentalists

00:37:48.780 obviously have their hooks in this administration and they don't want to have any development in Alaska.

00:37:54.240 But they're okay with it going overseas to places like Iran, to places like China, to places like

00:38:01.580 Venezuela, where the environment is not protected. Human rights are not protected. And as we know,

00:38:06.900 in the case of Iran, uh, they're now producing 3.74 million barrels of oil per day. They're using

00:38:13.720 some of that money to fund terrorism throughout the Middle East. So none of it makes any sense to us.

00:38:18.460 So how is this impacting you as a state, your state funds, and the people who do business up in

00:38:27.480 Alaska? Well, great question. So what happens is there's a, there's a chill, uh, for investment in

00:38:36.900 Alaska. In other words, outfits that would otherwise be investing in mining, oil, gas, timber,

00:38:43.940 they go other places because the uncertainty, uh, caused by this administration and these actions

00:38:50.300 level against Alaska, once again, 55, I think it's 56. Now just make it such an uncertain situation

00:38:56.720 that investors don't want to come here. Our population right now is pretty much stagnant.

00:39:01.720 We haven't grown in the last, uh, you know, last, uh, few years because of, uh, some of these actions.

00:39:07.360 We, um, we have, many of our young people are actually leaving the state and going to the lower 48

00:39:12.900 where there's more opportunity. And so the impact on our, on our conference is, um, is, is going to be

00:39:20.240 significant. Right now we get, we, we run about 490,000 barrels through our pipeline. We were able to get

00:39:27.820 Willow, the Willow project passed or allowed to be, uh, uh, put into play. And so with that investment, we should

00:39:33.620 get another 140,000 barrels here in the next several years. But nonetheless, when we're looking at the

00:39:39.300 midterm Glenn in the longterm, the prospects don't look very good for investors. Don't look very good

00:39:45.380 for opportunity in Alaska. And really what this appears to many Alaskans is an attempt to just

00:39:50.100 turn Alaska into a big national park and, uh, you know, uh, absolutely hamstring the viability of the

00:39:56.580 state going forward. So it's an uncertain situation, which causes a lack of investment and uncertainty.

00:40:02.060 I have to tell you, if Congress doesn't take their power back and, and, and take their,

00:40:07.560 take the, uh, unconstitutional power, uh, away from the administrative offices, uh, we, we, we,

00:40:17.280 we're not free and we have no way to fight this. What are you doing to fight?

00:40:23.880 Well, we've, we've had a, we've had a lawyer up, unfortunately we've asked our legislature the

00:40:28.960 past several years for millions in dollars, for millions of dollars, uh, in funds for what we

00:40:34.980 call our statehood defense to fight against their own federal government in order to slow down what

00:40:40.080 these agencies are doing in order to try and reverse some of the things that these agencies are doing.

00:40:44.020 And so we ended up spending money again, against their own federal agencies, our own federal

00:40:49.860 government. And I mean, Glenn, you know that the federal government has unlimited resources.

00:40:54.500 A state like Alaska does not. And so we're fighting them. We're trying to, uh, enlist the

00:41:01.480 help of other, uh, you know, other states. We've been talking with other, uh, uh, congressmen and

00:41:06.800 senators from other states, uh, explaining Alaska's situation. We're getting, I think, uh, a good

00:41:12.120 reception, especially from those on the Republican side. I also have to say senators like Joe Manchin

00:41:18.080 from a resource state like West Virginia, uh, has been very sympathetic to the plight of Alaska.

00:41:22.960 He understands it well. So we're trying to build up, uh, we're trying to build up a group

00:41:27.760 of, uh, legislators, congressmen, senators, uh, and other governors to understand what's

00:41:33.520 going on with Alaska, because once it happens here, and if they're able to be successful

00:41:37.960 at snuffing out the, uh, the, the future of Alaska in terms of a development state, there's

00:41:43.640 no, there's no telling when they're going to stop.

00:41:47.060 This is so concerning. Um, how can we help Mike?

00:41:51.000 Well, this is, I mean, the form you're giving me right now is a great way to get this out to

00:41:56.680 people and people, people need to understand that. As you said, Glenn, Alaska is a very

00:42:01.060 beautiful place. And because of that, we do take care of it. We have some of the strictest

00:42:06.420 environmental regulations there is the state itself put them in. So we know how to develop

00:42:12.440 our resources, but what the black administration is doing is just trying to kill off the whole 0.97

00:42:17.000 enterprise. And so just letting people know, sharing the 55 actions that, uh, uh, Dan Sullivan,

00:42:23.800 our Senator had put together on that sheet is going to be helpful. And then we're going

00:42:27.520 to be getting some, uh, congressmen and senators up here, hopefully this summer. So they can

00:42:31.900 see on the ground, how well we take care of the state, but also see the, uh, the impact

00:42:37.920 of what the Biden administration is doing. So governor, let us know how we can help other

00:42:42.920 than, other than this, keep us informed on this because as you say, they pick on the one

00:42:49.060 that nobody really is paying attention to. And if they can do this to Alaska, they'll do

00:42:53.720 it to a lot of our States. Uh, thank you very much from Alaska, governor of Alaska, governor,

00:43:02.480 Mike Dunleavy.
