Braxton McCoy—veteran, rancher, and public lands advocate—joins us to break down a controversial Senate proposal that could lead to the largest sell-off of public lands in modern U.S. history.

Introduced by Senator Mike Lee (R‑UT), the provision initially called for selling 2–3 million acres across 11 Western states, with up to 250 million acres labeled as “eligible” for disposal. Though the Senate parliamentarian recently struck it from the reconciliation bill, Lee plans to reintroduce it in a narrower form, targeting BLM lands near growing cities.

Braxton explains why this fight matters to hunters, ranchers, local communities, and anyone who cares about public access, habitat, and heritage—and what citizens can do to stop it.Contact your Senator on this land bill Here.

Love the classic intro! Thanks SR!

Christopher McIntyre

And this has been going on for a very long time! If you own land in no way shape or form should it be stolen from you!

V.I.C. FOUNDATION

Thank you for this and let’s keep up the fight!

The Red Flyer

Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a resident of _______County, {state). I’m calling to ask Representative [Last Name] to strongly oppose any provisions in H.R. 1—or any future legislation—that would allow for the sale of federal public lands. These lands are important to our local heritage, our outdoor recreation, and our environment. Selling them off would permanently damage what makes our state special. Please urge Representative [Last Name] to stand up for [State] families and vote NO on any bill that includes federal land sales. Thank you for your time and for representing our district.

Isn't it the state's land? Did the Feds ever actually "buy" it from the states or did they just take it? About to listen to this to get the details, maybe it's covered. I always thought the Constitution was supposed to limit the land the Fed was technically about to even have, at least state-side.

As a medic listening to this, fuk man. Im glad your here with us brother. Our country needs your strength an determination now more then ever. Let's keep this country an her land free 🤍

I do not see affordable housing coming out of this boondoggle. You are going to have developers making tons of money selling prime public locations to elite high income purchasers.

Gisele Grimes

I’m with you, Shawn. I’m pissed off and I’m 69!!!!

I see both sides yall . I come from line of dairy and horse farmers , in my own shoes I do understand the value of having your own land . A homestead a place you could build on and make your own . I mean if I didnt have family that has their own farms , n I couldn’t build my own place on their property it would be almost impossible to find property outside of that … unless I won the lottery lol. But on the other side yeah this shouldn’t go to these fat cat land developers just to get rich. Public land benefits everyone who maybe lives in the city an needs a place to go hunt or fish. That family who wants to go camping etc … . Soo I understand it’s definitely a tough choice.

ID, MT, WY contain some of the most spectacular lands I have seen from my travels around this beautiful planet. ... This dirt is magical as the guest states. We need to fight for its protection.

T.R. would despise what both parties have become. Greed hungry idealogues have eroded kindness and common sense. Thank you Shawn and thank you Braxton.

As someone who worked for the international rescue committee for 4 years settling refugees... I can assure you at the very least that the IRC is not coordinating with anyone to build refugee camps. I went to work there because I wanted to help people who wanted to escape places War torn by religious extremism. Funny enough it was helping Muslims escape fundamentalist Islam countries, and helping fundamentalist Christians escape persecution in Africa.... And as an atheist that sure didn't sit well with me. But that's beside the point. Certainly the biggest issue facing local IRC branches was housing.... I left because the organization as a whole is ineptly run and my local branch directors favored DEI hires and virtue signaling over acquiring reasonable amounts of resources, protecting staff and improving the organization. Gutting national parks for housing isn't going to solve the problem. The population continues to grow because people can't stop having fucking kids.. but the world don't grow. It's not like for every 10 kids that are born. So two pops up magically 50 acres of land. The two main things that will solve this problem is education and the fading into obscurity of religious fundamentalism. One of those is much easier to accomplish than the other, but unfortunately the more difficult has to happen first.

Great Interview Shawn/Team.

what ever happened to the FT Knox audit? Could this land sale be related to the gold being gone?

Government lied. Page 202 of BBB. Sell land within 5 mi!es population centers.

Drew Nichols

You know who else doesn't have to report all their finances.....churches. Would love to hear the same outrage applied to that

Drew Nichols

We should all be able to agree that Ted Cruz sucks.
