we're at a seafood plant in juneau, alaska. alaska glacier seafoods.o me this is a family thifpblgt i was raised in a smalltown called petersburg. a little bit south of juneau here. which was very well known for ts seafood industry. my whole family is directly or indirectly involved in it. this is a family business. my son and i own it. we started out with one skiff back in 1995. catching shrimp. selling them on the street. now the company does over 13 million pounds a year of seafood. it's a truly success story, the american dream. it's very doable. very doable. the seafood industry in alaska is about a $5 billion industry. if you look nationwide, it's closer to $12 billion or $13 billion, if you follow the alaska seafood resource from its harvest to in-state processing, through distribution, through wholesalers. and retailers. right to the kitchen counter or to the restaurant. it's a $13 billion industry. so it's a huge national economic footprint. there's about 100,000 jobs across the country connected to the seafood industry in alaska. here in alas

popular in alaska. one of the things that struck me was how often environmentalists would say, by putting this pipeline in, this is like putting a scar across the mona lisa. that is the kind of language they used at the time. for supporters, it is like a thread across a basketball gym. that would be different ways people had of looking at it. the intensity of the environmental fight and the bitterness of it that occurred in the 1970's has faded into the background. it has become an accepted part of the background, like telephone poles, electric wires, and that sort of thing. that is normal, i guess. you become accustomed to what you see around you. this is a positive tourist -- popular tourist viewpoint here. thousands of people come to the pipeline to see it up close every year. it is a symbol of modern alaska in many ways. and it has changed the state culturally and economically. juneau is the capital city of alaska, located in the state hospital and handle with a population of over -- state's panhand

so the original plus for the state of alaska waters when alaska became a state and was given the optionof choosing to demand, the geologists leon figured this land on the north slope would be good to select. had they not selected it, it would have been entirely different than it is today. but the state geologists selected that land and then leased it to the oil companies. what that meant is alaska retained a royalty interests out one eighth belongs to the state, about one eighth. they helped to run its government plus the severance tax that the state collects on the rest of the oil. so to the tens of billions of dollars it really provide the sort of economic power to the state economy. in the 1970s, there was great concern that all of this money would be flowing in and spend immediately. the state adopted a constitutional amendment to save percentage of its royalties and created what it called the alaska permanent fund and that was established in 1977 and is still collecting millions of dollars each year going into that account. and in 1988 created this very unique system by which presi

the alaska highway made it accessible. the fertile land attracted settlers that one would hardly expect here hutterites an old german religious community from the time of the reformation. there simple communal life seems old fashioned together the women pickle queue cumbers and the men work the fields. they believe in prayer and hard work. more than a hundred of them live in the colony at fort st john. the hutterites are farmers and strict pacifists four hundred years ago they fled from to roll first to russia then to canada in one nine hundred eighteen. they have always been pioneers who've chosen to live on the edge of civilization. through hard work and the most modern harvesting machines they make the most of the short season of the north. where you see a lot more forest here. we've created many fields the land is good you could see that right away. or. i are two to three good weeks to harvest but when it starts raining and snowing again then you can turn into winter or on constant. every day at the same time a bell su

i'll give you a couple examples of what's happening in alaska. i knowe my colleagues will talk about what's happening in their state. over the last 80 years they have actually killed 15 people and sickened hundreds. given that shellfish is a staple in many homes throughout alaska, particularly for tribal communities, this is a serious concern. they have also imposed serious financial consequences on our valuable seafood industry, not just in alaska, but throughout the country andoo in recent years, conditions that are triggering these are occurring moree frequently. there are multiple types which create difficulties for monitoring researching and responding to them.di paramedics should shellfish poisoning is a serious illness caused by eating shellfish contaminated with the toxic algae. this is a concern particularly as it can contain human illness and death at small concentration. harvested shelf fish is regularly tested but this is a particular haphazard but. in southeast alaska, many are concerned with the lack of testing available for recreat

brad serves as chairman and ceo of alaska air group, the parent company of alaska airlines and horizon7 year veteran of alaska airlines. gary is president and ceo of horizon air. he joined the airline in january of this year and previously served as vice president of operations at alaska airlines for about six years. with that, i'll turn it over to brad. >> thank you, bobby, and good morning everyone. all of us at alaska and horizon are deeply saddened by last night's unauthorized flight with the horizon q400 aircraft that resulted in the loss of life for the individual involved. all 23,000 of us want to express our sincere sympathy to his family, his loved ones and his coworkers. we're working closely with the authorities to help answer the many open questions that they have and this cooperation started last night. our top priority is the safety of our guests and our employees. simply put, there is nothing more important to us. we're working closely with the fbi, the ntsb, and the faa to better understand the circumstances behind this incident. we've been told as bobby said that the f

university of alaska no.t appeared is there any place you want to cut the budget? >> i think we want to cut the budget, but we need to shift things from things that affect his two things that are affect it. we have one of the lowest graduation rate. transducer provided here, though. where do you cut the budget for the tax cut you want him for raising the amount you pay alaskans every year out of the fun? >> well, the two are not exactly related just so you understand not. in terms of what needs to be cut in education things are not working. we are going to cut those. health and social services, bill walker dramatically expanded medicaid and there's a lot of duplication and a lot of paperwork. we will cut hair. the corrections department is not correcting. we have over 70% return rate for prisoners who get out and come back. we've got to look at the budget specifically and see what works and what doesn't. leland: albright. important question here. >> it's not a yes no question. leland: fair enough. what you ta

got herself elected as governor. - why not alaska fueling the nation?ding the world? these are perilous times in our world. [applause] - she had a record of success as governor, taking on some of the corrupt special interests in alaska and was extremely popular. - the state of the state is strong, with challenges ahead. so the foundation of our administrative decisions rests upon what i believe alaskans what. that's fiscal prudence in thuse of public resources, saving for our future, and not burdening alaskans with new taxes to support any overgrowth of government. [applause] - sarah palin was seen as a reformer in alaska-- somebody who'd taken on the establishment, who'd taken on both parties, d taken on the oil companies in alaska-- and so had a little bit of that independent, maverick brand that mccaiso valued. - the decision was made that we ought to vet sarah palin. - when you think about, "what's the mccain campaign looking for?", it's looking for a narrative for the ticket but it's also need to find an attack dog that can go after our first viabl

in alaska we have the highest standards in the world. i think we can do a lot more to cooperate with india in particular with regard to energy. i will tell you one area that i was involved with in the bush administration literally the president was interested in having us help countries like india be consumers of energy, joined the international energy agency the iaea which is part of the cd that i went to india to press the case. this was over 10 years ago. i got the indian bureaucracy in action. they weren't that receptive at the time but even that is changing. i've had an opportunity to talk to the prime minister a year and a half ago and i talked about the iaea and the opportunities. i think we are just scratching the surface and that's an incredibly important area for our domestic economy, for workers, for american energy security but the energy security and the environmental impacts of our allies and budding allies like india. secretary perry and the president and secretary pompeo and secretary mattis who are involved in this and a

in alaska, still doing it, was to work for alaska legal services corporation. she rose up through the ranks and now she is the director. she, too in my view has super powers and she channels those powers to serve in the righteous cause of justice for the too many victims in my state who need it and don't have access to an attorney to help them. i cannot stress, mr. president how important both the alaska network on domestic violence and sexual assault and alaska legal service corporations are for victims and survivors of these heinous crimes. now, i've had the opportunity and really the honor of working with both christine and nicole and their organizations very closely over the years still am a huge supporter of all they do and have watched them year after year doing the great work that they do to stomp out the scourge of domestic violence in our state. let me tell you a little story of how we all work together. when i was attorney general of the state we had a big campaign strategy called the choose respect strategy. and one of the elements of that was to get

somebody said have you thought of this republican governor from alaska named sarah palin?g up -- >> we surprised everybody. maybe too much. there were a lot of things we didn't know about her. cause let's be honest, nobody likes dealing with insurance, right? which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid, as their spokesperson because apparently, i'm highly likable. i like dennis quaid. awww. and they want me to let you know that, cue overdramatic music, they're on a mission to make insurance painless. excuse me, you dropped this. they know it's confusing. i literally have no idea what i'm getting, dennis quaid. that's why they're making it simple, man in cafe. and they know it's expensive. yeah. so they're making it affordable. thank you. you're welcome. that's a prop apple. now, you might not believe any of this since this is a television commercial, but that's why they're being so transparent. anyways. this is the end of the commercial where i walk off into a very dramatic sunset to reveal the new esurance tagline so that you'll remember it. esurance. it's surprisingly p

the state of alaska working directly with you and your team. that takes a lot of hard work but it's one example again where partnering rather than anybody going off and doing their own initiative can really yield benefits. and so this is truly in that mold, when you have an outcome based investment strategy kind of thinking from the fourth service. this is exactly what we need at this point in time. we are seeing the impact around the country as we see the damaging effects from the wildfire across the nation. i had an opportunity just a few days ago to be in the lake tahoe region to celebrate the conservation efforts that have gone into that extraordinary lake, as a national treasure. but that beautiful blue lake was kind of marred by the reality that we were in a dark and smoky sky. i flew through seattle yesterday. senator cantwell and i were both on the plane. you could taste the smoke in the air. you could see it all throughout not only seattle but it was all up into canadian and alaska air as well. so our need to be working together, our n

alaska was fascinating. alaska has basically a reserve of money, based on how much or -- how much oil they have. everyone in the state sense of -- signs up further that oil revenue fund. now, when you sign up for that oil revenue fund, you will automatically be registered to vote. that is kind of an innovative policy that we could be doing in other. if we want -- if we don't want a one-size-fits-all solution. if we want to get everyone registered, we can do it in this day and age. we can do it like in alaska, where you know people are signing up for oil money, you might as well get them registered to vote at the same time. >> i have two questions, maybe you can choose one. one is, you talked a little about john roberts and the ongoing project. if you could talk maybe about jeff sessions and the role of the doj, since alabama is such a favorite state on voting. the other is, on racial gerrymandering, that is also a new battle. how do you see that playing out in the forthcoming elections? ari: well, i think so

now i want to read this tweet by alaska airlines. we've confirmed a horizon air q400 that had an unauthorized takeoff from seatac around 8:00 p.m. has gone down near tetron island in pierce county, washington. we're working to confirm who was on board. we believe there were no guests or crew on board other than the person operating the plane. first of all, if that is true, let me just say that is a relief. no passengers. we are obviously keeping our fingers crossed that that indeed turns out to be true. turns out to be accurate. no passengers, no other staff on board. let me go back to josh. josh, there are so many things about this story that are striking. is it -- how easy it is to -- how easy is it to take off in a q400. i'm just looking at a picture of the plane. we're not talking about a tiny plane. >> a little less skill than a jet aircraft. you think of the larger jumbo jets flying in and out of seatac and some of the major international airports. one thing that is interesting to keep in mind, just for the public that had flow
