The Weekly Top 3 (11.11.2024)
Why the so-called House Coalition is nothing more than a "bipartisan" plutocracy, why we remain skeptical of AKLNG & the internal inconsistency of the Trump energy policy that may bite Alaska
Welcome to The Weekly Top 3 — our look at the top 3 things on our mind here at Alaskans for Sustainable Budgets — for the week of November 11, 2024.
The Weekly Top 3 is a regular weekly segment on The Michael Dukes Show. The Show broadcasts on Facebook and YouTubeLive as well as via streaming audio from the Show’s website weekdays from 6–8am. I join Michael weekly in the first hour of Tuesday’s show, from 6:10–7am, for a discussion between the two of us about our three issues.
This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain why we characterize the new House Coalition as a “bipartisan plutocracy” — government by the wealthy for the wealthy (2:11), 2) we explain why President Trump’s recent video hasn’t changed our skepticism of the Alaska LNG project (21:18), and 3) we discuss the internal inconsistency of the Trump energy policy — by making the oil & gas industry stronger, it may make prices and, with that, Alaska, among others, much weaker (39:19).
The segment is at the YouTube clip above. For those who prefer the audio version, it is available on our Spotify and Soundcloud pages. And for those interested, a rough draft of the transcript of each show from July 23, 2024 forward is available through our Buzzsprout page.
