Will be interesting to listen too..... I hope they don't cut Bishop any slack. Bishop has done a lot that would negatively impact our public lands, be interesting what things he will try to make look good.

Can't wait to listen to this one. Wish Randy was tag teaming it with Rinella.
I would love to see Randy as a surprise guest. Jerry Springer style... and look who we have coming on stage now.
That would be perfect. But in all seriousness, I hope Rinella can open his eyes a bit and put him in his place.
I am waiting on this also, never miss a Meateater podcast. But I am already skeptical of the things I haven't even heard Bishop say. It's sad how many people here back east are pro transfer or just plain indifferent to the whole matter. That's what keeps this whole thing going I think.
I'm sure Rinella will own Bishop on the facts. But everyone that will be listening is already on the right side of the fence and Bishop's mind will not be changed. Its important to remember the source of the land transfer movement. And its not the GOP. Its the LDS church. Bishop thinks he's doing God's work, and people who he views as living prophets support him. He isn't going to change.
Really? I haven't heard this before, but wondered about it, seeing as how the majority of the PLT push comes from Utah. Why isn't this talked about more? Taboo?
There may be a Mormon component to the land grab, but it is not institutional in nature. See: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.9295adc31491
It’s our land, not yours. I know this sentiment is real among Utah Mormons, because I’ve seen it, and I’ve been guilty of it myself. My pioneer ancestors believed that Utah was their promised land, given to them by God to use, and that they were supposed to improve upon nature, letting none of it go to waste. As stewards of the land, they believed they couldn’t let it sit idle, and the drive to make it produce is as strong as ever. The idea that Utah’s public land should be controlled by the progeny of a small group of white settlers is alive and well among some modern-day Mormons, and they support acquiring federal land as an effort to “take back” what they believe is rightfully theirs.
Really interesting article. Thank you. Helped me make a little more sense of the “why Utah?” question. It also gives some explanation as to where the idea of ”taking back” land that never belonged to the states in the first place comes from. From the article:
