EP 504: Protecting Public Lands - A Conservative Perspective (ft. Braxton McCoy + Patrick Payne)

In Episode 504 of District of Conservation, Gabriella is joined by author Braxton McCoy and his Rocky Mountain Radio cohost, Patrick Payne, about the Senate reconciliation provision to sell upwards of 3 million public land acres. The House provision was removed from the final bill, so the same fate could befall the Senate version. But there's still grave concern about this proposal. The guys explain what the plan entails: if it will fix the debt and deficit, if "affordable housing" label is a Trojan horse for selling them, if states are better land managers, why conservatives should care about public lands, why rewilding and overdevelopment are extreme views, and why you can support public and private lands.
