John Catsimatidis speaks with Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy about major news from the White House and what it means for America’s energy future. President Donald Trump has officially opened the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, restoring its original purpose as a national resource for domestic oil production. Governor Dunleavy explains why the NPRA — established in 1923 to fuel America’s naval fleet — is now a massive opportunity for jobs, energy independence, and lower fuel prices across the country. The governor highlights how unlocking Alaska’s resources reduces dependence on foreign oil, supports natural gas expansion, and strengthens the U.S. economy, while California’s high-tax energy policies continue to punish drivers. He also discusses Alaska’s strategic importance, dating back to its purchase from Russia in 1867, and why President Trump’s policies align with the state’s core mission as America’s resource powerhouse.
