A seasoned operator, he embedded with Delta Force and later served as a trainer for Navy Special Warfare Development Group’s Green Team.

Make your voice heard by calling your Senator’s office directly to let them know that your public lands are not for sale.

Find your Senator's contact information here - https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm

Braxton 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 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.
