geoff bennett is in salt lake city covering this. geoff, it was very unclear listening to the president's rationalization because he rationalized the elimination of the protections as actual protection. he said it will now allow the lands to be used and protected by the public. so in removing the protections of the land, he's making an unusual argument. >> reporter: he was trying to make the point that the people here know best how to protect tlan the lands, i think he said better than the bureaucrats back in washington. here's important context, ali, the federal government owns two-thirds of the ground here in utah. so what the president did here really caps a decades-long effort by the folks here in this room who are specially invited guests. that's why his applause lines were received so well by the republican members of utah's congressional delegation to really do more, really, to return these lands back to utah. utahans have more of a say what happens in their backyard. you have environmental groups and tribes like the navajo, t
