In this episode of American Potential, special guest host Heather Andrews sits down with Utah Attorney General Derek Brown to unpack one of the biggest constitutional battles in the West—who should control America’s public lands.
With more than 70% of Utah’s land managed by the federal government, Brown explains why states are pushing back and what it means for local communities, economic development, and land management. He breaks down the core principles of federalism and why decisions should be made closer to the people most affected.
The conversation also highlights a major recent court victory that places limits on presidential power when designating national monuments—marking an important step toward restoring balance between state and federal authority.
This episode dives into the real-world impact of government overreach—and why Utah’s fight could shape the future of land rights across the country.
