Breaking Down Agenda 21 with Tom DeWeese President of the American Policy Center – The Whalen Report

In this special interview, investigative journalist Casey Whalen sits down with Tom DeWeese, President of the American Policy Center and one of America’s longest-standing critics of Agenda 21 and its successor initiatives. Drawing on decades of research and activism, DeWeese explains how global policy agendas can influence decisions made in city halls, county commissions, and planning departments across the United States.

From comprehensive planning and smart growth to public-private partnerships and regional governance, this conversation explores the connections many believe link international policy with local government—and why understanding those connections has become increasingly important for citizens concerned about property rights, local self-government, and constitutional principles.

Whether you’re hearing about Agenda 21 for the first time or have followed the debate for years, this interview offers an in-depth look at one of the most controversial and consequential policy discussions of our time.
