Episode Description

Sources tell the Deseret News that President Trump will sign an executive order today to shrink the Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears national monuments. If it sounds familiar, you're spot on. President Trump did a similar thing in his first term. And then President Biden reversed it. And now it sounds like the reversal is going to be reversed. Ahead of the announcement this afternoon, Greg and Holly share the history of the monuments and give their thoughts on the Antiquities Act.
