That's just the reality.

It was last time around when we went through this and something very similar, 3 million acres.

I think it was 2017.

Jason Chaffetz, House of Representatives in Utah, had legislation out there, which they were calling like excess public lands they were going to sell, 3 million acres.

And when you get into 3 million acres, you're talking big tracts of public land.

Yeah.

There's a way to move public land.

Like we have systems in place by which we can move public land.

Like if you have a, whatever, there could be a military base that gets decommissioned.

There's a way in which that can be sold.

And what these efforts usually are, are ways to ditch.

It's usually like a way, how can we ditch the process and do this right now, large scale?

And that's usually what happens.

And the last time and this time were identical in the response.

is your normal groups that the effort to push came from a faction of the American right, came from a faction of the Republican Party, like we should move to sell public land, large tracts of public land.

Of course they know the tree hugger community, the bleeding hearts, of course they know that they'll revolt, but it doesn't matter to them.

They don't have their support anyways.

But both times what has happened is that people that they view as being their people

people that probably normally support President Trump's agenda, people that normally are right of center, they're like, no, not that idea.

I don't like it.
