We'll say, in the phone, all the world can be a guy of the finance. Not to have a gross monger in gold, or to be a pro of the crypto. Not even, no, no more.

In any case, you have always made the appellee-nogistititre Td you can't to renewing with your instinct of negotiation. With the support 24-hour-pard-hour-a-d,

no amount of minimum, nor fray-mensue. You're made for negotiate, and the apply-nogic-tit-tit-tid and fete to you aid. Telecharge it right now. Mike Rowe is on the show today with a lot to say about piles of dead bodies and piles of crap. You'll understand when you get there.

Also, we talk to the governor of Alaska who has more, what did he call him, restrictions or sanctions on him from this administration, then this administration is put on Iran. and he tells the story of Alaska pretty much disappearing. You don't want to miss that. And we talked to Dr. Kat Lindley. She is an expert on what the WHO is doing. We're running out of time to make sure that the WHO does not usurp our sovereignty with these new treaties. They're definitely not calling it a treaty because then it would have to be voted on in the Senate.

new restrictions and guidelines for America. You find all of that and so much more on today's podcast. First, preborn is not easy to face. This country has blood on its hands. Nearly 65 million innocent lives have taken in abortion, murder, since Roe v. Wade. 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 with our unborn children.

in this country. But we can't at least change the future a little bit, and they've up their game, because now abortion clinics are your daughter's bathroom, the house. It's horrible what's going on. The ministry of Preborn is working on this every day by introducing an expecting mom to her unborn baby through a free ultrasound. Preborn doubles the chances that she, the mom, will choose life. They've rescued over 280,000 babies through love, compassion, and free. ultrasounds every day they rescue about 200 more please they need your help one life saving ultrasound is 28 dollars just 28 bucks and you could save the life of a mom and a baby to donate securely dial pound 250 say the keyword baby that's pound 250 keyword baby or donate securely at

preborn.com slash be preborn.com slash beck sponsored by preborn you're listening to the best of the She is a family physician and a global health project co-founder and president, and she is the director of global COVID summit.org. Doctor, welcome to the program. Thank you for having me today. You bet. So tell people, most people don't know anything about this. What is the WHO doing?

Exactly, as you said, they came together in 21 and decided that we need better protection from future pandemics because that's what they feel, that we're going to have this perpetual state of emergent pathogens and new pandemics. What they're trying to do is negotiate at the same time two documents. One is the treaty that they are calling agreement currently, because they're trying to get away from calling it a treaties, since treaties have to be ratified in our Senate.

So this is one document. The other one is amendments to international health regulations, They really need to be looked at together because exactly as you said, if they are passed in May of this year by the World Health Assembly in Geneva, it would give powers to Director General in an event of public health emergency to decide that the area needs to be closed. The borders can be closed. They can issue quarantine, isolation. They can dictate to the member states what type of therapeutics we use, diagnostics, vaccines, vaccines, vaccines. There is a huge push for more censorship of voices that don't feel the same as the World Health Organization. There is this war on infidemics. There is going to be a sharing of

intellectual properties, more push for EUAs to approve new products. And all in all, when you really look at the documents and read both of them, you really understand that this is an attack on U.S. Constitution, specifically First Amendment, Fourth, Tenth, and Fourteenth Amendment. Okay. Good, but only those. Only those. That's good. The people will say, oh, this is a conspiracy. They're not trying to take it. They're just trying to help. They're just trying to help. Well, yes, that's actually the big push that Director General Tedros always says, for the future generations, we might. pass this pandemic agreement because we need to protect them and if you don't we are failing at our jobs. In reality, you have to see that the World Health Organization is trying to position themselves

to become this global health authority. There is also something in the Article 5 of the pandemic agreement called One Health. And One Health essentially says that the lives of humans are not more important than animal, plants, and everything is intertwined with the climate change. So with this one health agenda, the World Health Organization will essentially have power over, you know, the full aspect of life on earth. That's fantastic. Is the World Health Organization still in bed with the Chinese, or is that something that can change from time to time just based on the I don't know, the appointments of the people, or is this still an arm of the Chinese?

Very much. So, Tedros was actually a position with the support from China and specifically United Nations. As you are well aware, a war health organization is a subsidiary of United Nations. And there is actually, it's interesting to watch both of these organizations at the same time because the UN is pushing for global governance, and they are pushing for this CVDC, the central bank digital currency, if you combine that with the World Health Organization,

push for vaccine digital passport that they have adopted from European Union, you can really see this ability of reaching social credit scores system that they already have in China. These are not conspiracy theories. You just have to read their documents. They've laid all there. Yeah.

Are you getting any attention at all from the mainstream media? No, mainstream media really likes this pandemic agreement. Luckily, we are getting some support from legislators on federal level and specifically on state level. I feel that I listen to you all the time. I know you are well aware of our political landscape. On federal level, we will have a difficult time because, Biden administration is the one pushing for most of these amendments. Yes.

And they are very much in favor of the pandemic agreement. But on state level, we can actually protect ourselves because of the 10th amendment. And in New Hampshire, I testified in February on a bill HB. 1156 that would not allow any jurisdiction to the World Health Organization on state level, on, you know, county levels and things like that. So they are going for a full vote on the floor this Thursday. And we need all hands on deck. We need everyone in New Hampshire to call their representatives because it made it out of the committee split, right? Democrats were against this bill and Republicans obviously understand the dangers. So we need people to call their representatives and push for this bill to be passed.

And that is in New Hampshire. And when is that decision that vote? and Bill is HB. 1156. 1156, okay. We'll put some notices out. If you're in New Hampshire, please call. This happens Thursday. And the 10th Amendment is the amendment that says,

anything that's not enumerated in the Constitution as a federal power, all of that goes back first to the people, or first to the states and the people. and if it's if it's not spelled out in the constitution then they have no they have no jurisdiction the state can can make the rules on that and so you're trying to use the the 10th amendment saying that there's there's nothing in the constitution that says what exactly what are they claiming is their power the health care the police power comes to health care of the citizen of the state, go to the federal, I mean to the state level,

federal level has no jurisdiction over the health care, the citizen. So this is why it's important to actually push for this to protect the states so that the World Health Organization, if they decide we need future lockdowns, new vaccines, quarantine, and things like that, the state agencies do not have to comply. And they should not comply. How different would COVID have been if this were in play? Not only that, how different the COVID would have been if the physicians were allowed to do what we know best to do? Correct. You know, early treatment, us really coming in first line and taking care of the people and then speaking with our agencies and our agencies listening to us.

I would say the only good thing that happened during COVID era is that we realized that our government, I know you know this, but most people didn't realize that our government is not really working for us, and there are too many strings attached with many of these agencies. You know, someone like me, I understand what has happened because I looked at it through global eyes. You know, build back better. When have you had these heads of state in every country say exactly the same words, build back better? You had me at hello. nonsense. Yes. And, you know, people need to realize that this truly is an attack on national

sovereignties of all the countries. You know, I was in Croatia in December, testifying in their parliament, and that's exactly what I said. You know, Croatians need to remember who they are, love their country, and take back their power. The same thing with Americans. This is a country that understands freedom, that understands this is the most important thing we have in the world, and we need to take back our power. Simple as that. How concerned are you, just as an individual that, you know, grew up under communism, left Yugoslavia, I think when you were about 18, and got to Italy and then to America to go to school. How concerned are you with what you're seeing in just America itself?

You know, I am a true example of what American dream is, and I have five children. I do fear for their future. I fear, you know, with everything that's happening, the transgender policies, we're trying to confuse our children and who they are so that they are easily controlled. You know, I hate this bipartisan divide because we all should value what America stands for. If you lose this country, if we lose this country, if we lose. the freedom. You know, America is a beacon of hope for so many people like myself. And everyone, when I speak with people around the world, everyone says, eyes are in the United States. You know, you guys get your act together. Do something. We're letting it slip through our fingers. And

I'm a realist, and I have to tell you, I'm afraid. I am really afraid. We need a complete change of leadership in November. Every person needs to go and vote. They need to become poll watchers. They need to do whatever they can to make sure that we have fair elections, that our voices are counted, and that whoever is in leadership next understands that this country is such a unique place in the world, and there is no place like this. Dr. Kat Lindley, thank you.

We'll talk again. The thing that you can do right now is educate yourself. Go to global COVID summit.org. Global COVID summit.org. If you live in New Hampshire, there is a vote on Bill 1156 on Thursday. It must pass and stop the federal government from giving the state sovereignty away. Your doctors will not be able to speak out. Your doctors will be silenced.

and we will be controlled by the World Health Organization. Something really run by China and the United Nations. I don't know. I'm not really for it. Wake up, America. Doctor, thank you very much for joining us. All right, you can call me a snob if you must, but I do have certain convictions and principles in this life, and I stand by them.

And one of those principles is, I mean, sure, it might be nuclear winter outside, but can't we have something warm and yummy on the inside? Your food should still taste good, even though, you know, the world has come to an end. I mean, you should, I mean, one of the other principles, you should actually have food. And then it should be good in an emergency situation. You need food that won't go bad, taste delicious. And my Patriot supply has exactly that.

Who are you? First of all, with regard to your sponsors, excellent choices. Thank you. I love this foundation and at the risk of just shameless pluggery and wanton capitalism. This is an American giant shirt. Oh my gosh. I have that shirt. I have that shirt. I think you wore it last time I was here.

And I thought, what are the odds that we'd show up looking like the Pops and Twins? But you know, Byard, he's a friend of mine. I love him. And I've had him on my podcast. And he's featured in a new book that you'll love if you haven't seen it. It's called Flannel. Yep. And it's all about what it really takes to make this shirt.

Shockingly difficult. It is amazing, brother. I mean, I know you know that. You gave me a shirt. 10, 11 years ago when you were doing, what was it? Oh, 1791. Yeah, I still have it. It was like a canvas work shirt.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And ever since that, man, I've been obsessed with trying to better understand the drama and the trauma of getting textile manufacturing back in this country. It's mind bogg. If companies like Levi's would do 5% of their manufacturing here in America. Yeah. America would change. Yep. Would change.

For sure. No interest in it at all. It's, I mean, when you really start to peel back the layers, and this is, I don't know if this is on your agenda of stuff to talk about, but it is, I just did a whole thing on the toothpick. Like the business, we used to be the toothpick capital of the world. We're very proud of it. It was a giant industry up in Maine, you know, white birch. I mean, the book on it is amazing. And when you slowly see the way that we basically.

gave up on toothpicks, you can start to understand the way we gave up on textiles. And then you start asking questions like, well, what hope does Detroit really have? Like if we can't get the splinter right, if we can't get a shirt right, right? So there are no small things. Anyway, what American Giants doing, I think is, I think it matters because they're 13 years at it now. So that's, you know, good for you for having them on it. I know. I love them.

I love them. So, Mike, let's just talk about the state of the world because we are being boxed. If you're a small business guy, you have under 20 employees. You now have a transparency act where you'll spend two years in jail if you don't tell the federal government the Treasury Crimes Division everything that they want to know. I don't know how much that's going to cost the small businessman. man, and just time alone. Plus, you have the Pro Act, which has now just been done through the Department of Labor. We don't vote on anything anymore.

It's just a new guidelines. Yes, yes, new guidelines. Yeah. And what is that going to do to, when we think gig economy, we think, you know, Uber drivers, etc. No, no, no. Truckers alone, will we have groceries at our stores? 50,000 in California alone. 50,000.

I had a guy on my podcast called Tom Odom, who's one of these truckers, and he's been written about in the press, and I was just so interested in his story. In fact, I interviewed him while he was in his truck, driving across the fruited plane, you know, and he just pulled over, and we had this amazing conversation. But people, I like to talk about it in terms of unintended consequences,

but I realize now that I might be giving too much credit. Stay too much, correct. Right. But look, I'm trying to stay in whatever lane is left to me. But when I first saw... They'll be taking that lane away from you soon. It's getting narrow, man. It's very narrow.

It's getting narrow. When I first saw this thing rear its ugly head, it was, to your point, aimed toward the gig economy in Silicon Valley, mostly Uber and Lyft. And then it just grew and grew and grew graphic artists. writers, cinematographers, dancers, so many people. And I'm like, how many are actually going to be impacted? And then the question was, how many people are actually freelancing right now? And the answer is north of 70 million in the whole country. And so what the drafters of AB5 asked us to believe initially

was that huge numbers of workers were being shamelessly victimized by greedy and rapacious capitalists. who should have hired them as employees and therefore opened the door to benefits and so forth. Now, did that ever happen? Yeah, I suspect it's a big country and there's exceptions to every rule. But the number of people who were adversely affected prior to this versus the number of people who have now lost the freedom to work the way they want is mind boggling. And it happened in California, of course.

And to your point, it's happened and is happening right now. And when people realize what this means, you know, you want to set your own schedule, forget it. You want to eat what you kill? Forget it. We don't want to think that way anymore because that person might fail. And if that person fails, well, then the narrative goes. We just can't tolerate that. I'm sure you've been to Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.

I was just over there for the first time and the new king was in the castle. and he's got this whole wing by himself, and he lands his giant helicopter right there in his backyard. And I've never been, like I've been to, you know, the American castles, and I've never had a problem with it. Never. I walked through that castle, and it pissed me off the entire time.

Yeah. Because I thought, there is no one in this country that could ever build this, except the one who's cornered the market. Right. You know, there's no opportunity, none, to actually become something, because the government has you so pigeonholed, and people just accept it. And I don't want to be like that.

I don't want to live in that kind of country. You know, if there's no risk, there's no reward. Well, there's the four-letter word, right? Risk, I guess risk and maybe debt are the only four-term. letter words right now that I think are truly for sale. You know, we have to have honest conversations about both of those things. The willingness to accept risk is the fundamental bedrock of freelancing. Right. And not everybody is willing to take that risk. Some people just want a stable job. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. It's so similar. I think the

reason this thing has become such an issue for me is because it translates perfectly in into a four-year education versus a trade school. This idea that we have to put our thumb on the scale, this idea that one has to be elevated at the expense of the other, is precisely what's informing the pro act. We're not saying that it's good to be an employee. We're saying it's so good that if you don't do that, then you're doomed.

You are engaging in a level of behavior that's so risky, you're actually posing some sort of existential threat, not just to yourself, but to your family, to your neighbor, and so forth. So it's amazing how we can't simply put all the options on the table and let the grown-ups decide what fits best. I got to tell you, you say, even in today's world, where universities are taking our children and molding them, into the exact. Woodrow Wilson said, the job of a university is to make a man the most unlike his father as possible. That was his goal. And that's really kind of the goal now, I think, in many places. And so many people will say, because I've got two teenagers, are they going to

go to college? No, probably not. One of them, maybe. The other one, trade school maybe. No, I don't know. It's going to be up to them. And what is the value of a big expensive $250,000 education if you're not going to use it? If you don't have something, if you're just like, wow, I think I'm going to do this. A, the world is changing so fast. We don't know what jobs are going to be there. I worry that, look, I'm the product of a liberal arts education. I got one.

It served me well. I'm glad I got one. Did it lead directly to my chosen field? No, it did not. But it comes in handy every single day. And mine consists of two years at a community college and another couple of years at a university. And when I finished in 84, the whole thing cost $12,200. All of it.

Today, same schools, same course loads. 92 grand. Now, nothing in the history of this country has increased faster than that. than the cost of a four-year degree. Bitcoin. Bitcoin. Well. But then fall and it back and it's not.

I know, I know. Right? I mean, look, it's, but, I mean, really, if you look at health care, if you look at real estate, if you look at food, and if you look at energy, the big four, those things have all been eclipsed by the cost of a four-year degree. But still, we can't help ourselves. Still, we've told this whole generation, if you don't get one, you're screwed. Right. And that's criminal.

It's a shame because my liberal arts education right now is on this thing. Yes, all of it. I've got access to 98% of the known information right now for free. Yeah. Okay. But still, still we charge. During lockdowns, Columbia raised their rates. NYU raised their rates.

And we still paid it. Right. So look, it's easy to look at the Ivy League, especially now. and point to all sorts of embarrassments. But it's not even about that. It's just this bigger thing that's happening where a whole chunk of our workforce is tied to a whole chunk of our education system

that has become the proximate cause of derision. I said to my son, where did you learn that? He said, I can audit a course at MIT online. Oh, okay. Yeah. I mean, you have the opportunity unlike any human has had, and yet it's a bad thing. You are listening to the best of Glenn Beck. To listen to the rest of this interview, check out the full show podcast.

I guess we should update you. there is the hearing today on the guy who gave President Biden a pass saying, oh, you know what, he's just a, he's just a, you know, kind old man who's just forgetful. Yeah, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. Yeah, yeah. The transcript has actually been released, and the transcript is a little shocking. I didn't think it was shocking at all. Actually, I've watched Joe Biden for multiple years, and this is about how I think he is in private.

Now, it's weird because the portrayal of Biden by the media and, of course, the Democrats, is that when he's in public, he's a bumbling idiot, sure, but you don't see him like we do. When he's behind the scenes, he's always on top of everything. In fact, it's so impressive. None of these 25, 30-year-old AIDS can even keep up with the guy. I mean, it is incredible. So stupid. And if you believe that, you literally will believe anything. Yes.

Anything. But I thought some of the transcript was interesting. Can I give me some of this? This is from the people were talking about how he couldn't remember dates. And I think it's overblown after reading the transcript. You make up your own mind. Here's Joe Biden. He said, this is from the New York Times.

This is actually the part of the New York of the transcript, the New York Times. He just wanted you to know. What did you? Occurred. Biden, quote, well, um, I,

I, I, I, I, I don't know. This is, what, 2017,

2018, in that area? Mm-hmm. He's, her answers, yes, sir. Remember in this time frame, my son is,

I, been deployed or is dying. It's 2017? 2017, 2018, Glenn. When did he die? 2015. Oh, whoops. So he's either deployed or dying in 2017 or 18.

And he says, is either been deployed or dying. And so it was, and by the way, there were still a lot of people at the time when I got out of the Senate that were encouraging me to run in this. period, except the president, which is just sad that he has to admit this. Yes, yes. And I'm not, and that's not a mean thing to say. He just thought that she had a better chance of winning the presidency than I did. It says quite a bit, the most hated woman in all of politics.

Ah, she's a better bet. And so I hadn't, I hadn't, at this point, even though I'm at Penn, I hadn't walked away from the idea that I may run for office again. But if I ran again, I'd be running for president. And, and so, what was happening, though? What month did Bo die? Oh, God, May 30. And then all of the lawyers step in at this point, a White House lawyer, 2015.

2015, 2015, on an unidentified male speaker, 2015. And he says, was it 2015 he had died? Unidentified male speaker It was May of 2015 Biden It was 2015 Biden's personal lawyer Or I'm not sure the month sir

I'm not sure that was the year though Another person jumping in That's right Mr. President It was 2015 All these other people remember when his Biden's son died And he said And what happened in the meantime

Is that as And Trump gets elected In November of 2017 Question mark Unidentified male speaker 2016. We have actually elections every four years. Yeah, he doesn't know that. It's always an even number. Yeah. You know, without

question. He's only been in government his entire life. So how would he know that? That's, you know, of course that's just the Senate. Um, 2016 2016, all right, so why do I have 2017 here? That's when you left office. January of 2017,

says the White House counsel. Yeah, okay. But that's when Trump gets sworn in January. You see, he's just repeating what other people, after he's wrong, people correct him, and then he just repeats what they're saying. And every person has seen this with an old relative, right? Like when you're in a conversation with them, they don't know what the answer is. You tell them, and then they kind of just repeat it. Like helps them kind of, you know, center themselves on what's going on. When you don't have somebody to give you something to repeat, this is what that relative sounds like. This is from yesterday, cut one.

Tremendous amount of things you can cut. It may be precisely. Tremendous amount of things you can do, not cut. The bottom line is he's still at it. Oh, my God. Wow. So you got that going for you. Now, this is the guy who is, according to the governor of Alaska,

Mike Dunleavy, sanctioning Alaska more than he has sanctioned Iran. Governor Dunleavy, welcome to the program. Hey, Glenn, good morning. Hey, good morning. So I know it's really early for you. Thank you for being on the program. That's quite a statement to make.

Well, it is, but if you look at the 55, 56 actions now, compared to the 19 actions that have been set against Iran in 2000, This is 55 actions since the Biden administration came into office against one of its own states, a resource-producing state like Alaska. And so it is serious. It is real. And many of us in Alaska viewed as an economic war on Alaska. So 56 executive orders and actions targeting your state. Can you go through some of them?

Oh, absolutely. So, for example, in 2017, under the Jobs Act that was passed by Congress and signed it to law by President Trump, now that required lease sales in ANWR, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the coastal plain area that was always up for oil production anyway. Those leases were sold and then under the Biden administration, they unilaterally canceled them. That's a violation of law. That's huge because that has one of the last remaining large oil and gas finds, probably in North America. That was taken off the list. Offshore oil leases in the Arctic, off the list.

13 million acres in NPRA. Now, NPRA, National Petroleum Reserve up in Alaska that was founded over 100 years ago under President Hardy, its sole purpose was to provide oil for the nation. It was a naval petroleum preserve at first. And so this is just a handful of incidents of what we call sanctions against Alaska that make it difficult for us to produce oil, makes it difficult for us to mine, makes it difficult for us to even get into the Tongest National Forest for timber, the largest national forest in the United States. We really can't get into that forest to harvest.

This is one thing that I have not experienced. so I don't know if I understand it, they're no longer building roads or maintaining any of the roads. So you can't get in to haul lumber out. And then they've also banned you from taking out mature lumber. Is that right? Old growth. That's correct. And not only are they not building roads, and they dismantled all of the mills that were in southeast Alaska.

And this happened under the Clinton administration. However, under President Trump, he began to restore it as an actual working force for timber, for mining, for recreation. And then when the Biden administration came in, they once again closed it down again. And so it's just been a series each year of different actions, different executive orders that are targeted against Alaska. And Glenn, here's the interesting thing. I don't think you're listening to understand about Alaska. we were the only state required at statehood in 1959 in our statehood act. We were required to collectivize all the resources in Alaska under the government,

under the state government. And the reason for that is those that were contemplating allowing Alaska to become a state felt it had too small of a population, about 150 to 200,000 people, to pay for itself through things like an income tax or statewide sales tax. So they compelled us to collectivize those resources to develop those resources to pay for ourselves of this whole thing. We were allowed to come in as a state as long as we developed our resources, and now we're being told we can't develop our resources,

which means our viability as a state is in question. I'm looking at the map of Alaska. And by the way, you know this. Alaska is far more beautiful than anybody could ever describe. It is stunning. And it's also enormous flying over Alaska. You're like, when does this state ever end? But I'm looking at the map.

You maybe have, maybe a third of Alaska is not protected now? Pretty much. Yes, that's correct. And as a matter of fact, you know, we had national. parks before 1980 and in the waning days of Jimmy Carter, his gift to Alaska on the way out was to build even more monuments and wilderness areas taking up millions and millions of acres off the table for Alaska's ability once again to develop some of those resources. And by the way, Glenn, we develop our resources, the little that we're allowed to in probably

the most responsible manner in the world. And what really befuddled many of us up here is the environmentalists obviously have their hooks in this administration, and they don't want to have any development in Alaska, but they're okay with it going overseas, two places like Iran, two places like China, two places like Venezuela, where the environment is not protected, human rights are not protected,

and as we know in the case of Iran, they're now producing 3.74 million barrels of oil per day. They're using some of that money to fund terrorism throughout the Middle East. So none of it makes any sense to us. So how is this impacting you as a state, your state funds, and the people who do business up in Alaska? Well, what happens is there's a chill for investment in Alaska. In other words, I'll fix that would otherwise be investing in mining, oil, gas, timber, they go other places. because the uncertainty caused by this administration and these actions leveled against Alaska,

once again, 55, I think it's 56 now, just make it such an uncertain situation that investors don't want to come here. Our population right now is pretty much staggered a few years, these actions. We have, many of our young people are actually leading the state. There's more opportunity. And so the impact on our conference is going to be significant. Right now, we run about 490,000 barrels through our pipeline. We were able to project passed or allowed to be put into play. And so with that investment, we should get another 140,000 barrels here in the next several years.

But nonetheless, when we're looking at the midterm, Glenn, in the long term, the prospects don't look very good for investors. Don't look very good for opportunity in Alaska. And really, what this appears to many Alaska is an attempt to just turn Alaska into a big, national park and absolutely hamstring the viability of the state going forward. So it's an uncertain situation which causes a lack of investment and uncertainty. I have to tell you, if Congress doesn't take their power back and take the unconstitutional power away from the administrative offices, we're not free and we have no way to fight this. what are you doing to fight?

Well, we're up, unfortunately. We've asked our legislature the past several years for millions of dollars in funds, what we call our statehood defense, to fight against their own federal government in order to slow down what these agencies are doing in order to try and reverse some of the things that these agencies are doing. And so we end up spending money, again, against their own federal agencies, our own federal government. And, I mean, Glenn, you know that the,

federal government has unlimited resources. State like Alaska does, does not. And so we're fighting them. We're trying to unlist the help of other, you know, other states. We've been talking with other congressmen and senators from other states explaining Alaska situation. We're getting, I think, a good reception, especially from those on the Republican side. I also have to say senators like Joe Manchin from a resource state like West Virginia

has been very sympathetic to the plight of. Alaska. He understands it well. So we're trying to build up a group of legislators, congressmen, senators, and other governors to understand what's going on with Alaska because once it happens here, and if they're able to be successful at snuffing out the future of Alaska in terms of a development state, there's no telling what they're going to stop. This is so concerning. How can we help, Mike? Well, this is, I mean, the form of you, giving me right now is a great way to get this out to people. And people,

people do you understand that, as you said, Glenn, O'ELEC is a very beautiful place. And because of that, we do take care of it. We have some of the strictest environmental regulations there is. The state itself put them in. So we know how to develop our resources. Right. But what the Biden administration is doing is just trying to kill off the whole enterprise.

And so just letting people know, sharing the 55 actions that Dan Sullivan, Senator had put together on that sheet is going to be helpful. And then we're going to be getting some congressmen and senators up here, hopefully this summer, so they can see on the ground how well we take care of the state, but also see the impact of what the Biden administration is doing. So, Governor, let us know how we can help other than this. Keep us informed on this, because as you say, they pick on the one that nobody really is paying

attention to, and if they can do this to Alaska, they'll do it to a lot of our states. Thank you very much. From Alaska, Governor of Alaska, Governor Mike Dunleavy. It's something else here now.
