You look at any poll, there's 75, 80, sometimes 85% of voters who support the protections for our public lands. That doesn't seem to stop or slow down the Trump administration. They're threatening all of that. They fired over 3,400 U.S. Forest Service employees. 3,400. They fired another 2,300 workers from the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife, Bureau of Indian Affairs. There might be even another one. (18:18–18:23)
