EMERGENCY Access [Video] with Braxton McCoy - Why is the Government Trying to Sell Public Land?
Added 2025-06-27 17:48:16 +0000 UTCBraxton 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.

When is the new studio going to be ready? I hope it has a monitor so that you can display some of these charts and maps or other things guests bring up.

2025-07-02 16:19:06 +0000 UTCWow what an amazing patriot! I just finished watching this and Braxton McCoy appears to embody what the LEFT AND RIGHT fail to do. The left wants to save everything except people (smelt fish in CA took priority over their fire prevention policies). Then you have the right who wants build for profit without consideration of the impact (Senator Lees land grab bill), but then refreshingly you have a middle ground, the Land and Wildlife Conservationists like Mr. McCoy! He’s a realist and I tell you what, it stems from his hunter background and I’m sure entire lifestyle. At the end of the interview his message was clear. We can protect our land and still use its resources. The key is ethically! If you want to understand what that means, talk to a hunter. They are some of our greatest land conservationists. Great interview.

2025-07-01 21:08:53 +0000 UTCUtah, the Great salt lake is not drying up. Governor Cox is slowly releasing the water, to allow lithium mining from the salt flats to an excavation company that ships the lithium or the unrefined salt to China to be refined, and then resells that lithium to rivian Tesla and all electronic vehicle and battery manufacturers. They do not want to drill for Wells because they aquifers have been poisoned through runoff from various companies throughout the decades, such as the kennicott copper mine Geneva steel and a few others have polluted the shallow aquifer, and have lobbied the government not to allow citizens to drill Wells to the deep aquifer in fear that that deep aquifer will become contaminated as well. They also refused to quarry stone, and put up Stone reservoirs and stone dams in the mountains that would increase the water table almost double in 5 years. They are building and developing all farmable land, with residential, and pushing all of the farms and agriculture into the desert.

2025-06-30 07:21:50 +0000 UTCI think every state with valuable resources is feeling the pressure right now. Here in Tennessee, we have an abundance of water and we produce a lot of power — which we sell to other places. But with so many people moving here from California, property taxes have gone up, and there’s growing strain on our energy systems to keep up with the population increase. There’s also been a lot more fracking lately. In fact, just a couple of months ago, we even had an earthquake here in East Tennessee — something that’s not exactly common for us.

2025-06-30 01:57:33 +0000 UTCI'm with Shawn on redevelopment of existing buildings and property that has been abandoned. There are so many cities like this: San Francisco and Los Angeles here in California. All over USA we have these cities for example like Detroit. Why can't we redesign and develop affordable housing there?
