## Resource

It can be easy to take our national parks for granted, but behind their natural beauty, there lies generations of leaders who have fought tooth and nail to preserve them. Those efforts are still ongoing today. Congressmen Bruce Westerman (R-AR) and Jared Huffman (D-CA) sat down with Bret to discuss their bipartisan bill aimed at protecting our public lands - the Great American Outdoors Act 250 - and explain why they believe our national parks are still worth protecting today. The two also weigh in on the rise of the democratic socialist movement and how they plan to work together in the future. This segment first aired Wednesday, 06/24 on Special Report.
