Get the most out of Medicare welcome back to the special edition of Tucker Carlson tonight as denied a permit to the pebble mind, controversial project in remote part of Alaska that could have contaminated the worlds largest salmon fishery bass. Pro shops, founder, Johnny Morris, came on the show to talk to Tucker about the project in August conservation should be a uniter for people right, thats, right everybody, so this mine was proposed in really the heart of the largest grounds in the world. The most pristine areas watersheds really in the world over fifty million salmon have spawned there. This year, approximately half of all the wild salmon that is harvested for the world comes from this region that is beautiful salmon and a beautiful part of the world. We are joined by Brian Kraft, owner of the Alaska Sportsmens

Lodge, whose existence was actually threatened by the project. Brian. Was this victory a surprise to you hi mark? Thank you for having us on the show. It was a little bit of a surprise, but we knew it all along if we got to people scientist to make the decisions and army corps of engineers. Listen to the science we would prevail. The army corps of engineers did a great job of taking what was before them and looking and seeing that destroying three thousand acres of wetlands. One hundred and fifty miles. One hundred and eighty miles of salmon streams and put a big hole in the hedge waters of the fishery is not good for the echo system, so they came up with the decision today. A record decision that said this plan would cause segregation to aquatic echo system and therefore should go forward appearance, and we applaud the decision today.

The chief executive of this company, a canadian company, played it rather badly because he was caught on tape, basically bragging that he had squared all the local politicians he needed to get this thing passed. Did you think it is actually more to do with a ineptitude? I dont want to make them sound, like the dominion voting system for salmon doing to salmon what voting machines due to votes. But do you think, basically, the canadian company bundled how they do this? Well, they certainly didnt help themselves with telling the truth. We knew all along this smaller plan they put forth. The army corps of engineers was a guys to get the permit and planning on expanding and doing huge degradation to the echo system and to the habitat of perfectly functioning fisheries, and so we knew all along. That is what they wanted to do.

They certainly did not help themselves. As Alaska senators took a look at this. Obviously they took home a converge with it and they sold the resorts of army Corps of engineers and the science came out with it a right place for this type of industrial activity will it is the most beautiful salmon if you are looking to an alternative to Thanksgiving, I have to ask you, who is that little salmon fish are behind you. This is my daughter Dakota who is eleven. She is here with me today, because Dakota and all kids and all future generations a huge motivating factor behind my drive for the past sixteen years and all of the people of Bristol Bay, a collaborative effort, and we have been working to make sure that the system stays intact and the corporation everybody has worked hard,

but Dakota has been a big motivating factor and shes a.
