The Weekly Top 3 (6.2.2025)

from The Weekly Top 3 Hosted by Alaskans for Sustainable Budgets

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 June 2, 2025. This week, our top 3 issues are these: 1) we explain why the Permanent Fund Corporation’s April results demonstrate our point about its deficient returns (2:03); 2) in the wake of the visit from three of its cabinet officials, we examine the potential impact of the Trump Admin’s focus on Alaska (18:58); and 3) putting all the pieces together, we discuss which “working people” exactly Angela Rodell really seems concerned about (34:02). 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. We join Michael weekly in the first hour of Tuesday’s show, from 6:25–7am, for a discussion between the two of us about our three issues.
