Utah monument shrunk in pair of executive orders, NYT reporters subpoenaed
About this episode
The episode discusses the political implications of President Trump's executive orders shrinking national monuments in Utah and the administration's subpoenas of New York Times reporters.
Utah's congressional delegation, Governor Spencer Cox and House Speaker Mike Schultz joined President Donald Trump in the Oval Office as he signed a pair of executive orders shrinking Grand Staircase Escalante and Bears Ear national monuments. The monuments have been a political football for decades, established by Democrats and shrunk twice now by President Trump. Panelists Adam Gardiner and Leah Murray join Lindsay to weigh the political impacts of the brace of orders, and to evaluate whether this is a case of the government working well. Plus, we dig into some national headlines, including the announcement that the administration is subpoenaing reporters with the New York Times for information they used to report on the Qatari-gifted Air Force One.
