How Bears Ears Supporters Hope to Counter the Trump Administration's Monument Cuts

The national debate about the Bears Ears National Monument has quieted somewhat since President Trump announced plans to cut its area by 85 percent in early December.

He joined KSJD's Austin Cope to reflect more on the process.
