Emily dives into the conservative civil war sparked by Senator Mike Lee’s now-revoked proposal to sell millions of acres of federal land. What began as an effort to tackle the housing crisis in the American West quickly became a flashpoint in the deeper battle over the soul of the right: Are markets here to serve the people—or the other way around? Emily breaks down the backlash from fellow Republicans, populists, conservationists, and even Don Jr., and explores how this fight exposed a growing rift between libertarian orthodoxy and a rising new conservatism focused on families, sovereignty, and public goods.
