00:25I've come to Utah to take a very historic action.
00:40To reverse federal overreach, I will sign two presidential proclamations.
00:50These actions will modify the National Monument's designations of both Bears Ears and Grand Staircase
00:58Escalante.
01:05Utah came after the tribes with everything they had.
01:10They think it's their country.
01:15The things that are being done are behind closed doors.
01:20After 20 years, you come in and do it with the same political motivation.
01:27I know we're going to be defending it.
01:31And who are we going to be defending it to?
01:34Every victory is temporary.
01:36Every defeat is permanent.
01:38No, this isn't a joke.
01:39They really are going to come out here and mine.
01:43Ranchers sold out.
01:44They get made into houses and it changes forever.
01:50One of the beauties of this area is its wildness.
01:56And we do need to protect that.
01:58We're right to protect that.
02:01The greatest value of it is its archaeology and its red rock.
02:08These are the recordings of people of the past.
02:12It's just not a Native American issue.
02:15It's an American issue.
02:21What Bears Ears did for us in that moment in time is it woke us up.
