Intro

President Trump shocked San Francisco Wednesday night with an executive order to “dramatically reduce” the Presidio Trust, which Congress formed in 1996 to manage and protect the historic 1,500-acre park that looks out on the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay. The trust is one of four agencies named in the executive order, which calls for shrinking those the president deems “unnecessary.” We talk about what’s behind the order and what it might mean for the future of the beloved, and much visited, Presidio.

Guests:

Barbara Boxer, former U.S. Senator

Gabe Greschler, politics reporter, The San Francisco Standard

Chris Lehnertz, president and CEO, Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy
