i spent a lot of time reading the news on the internet and i kept reading about the williston the oil boom the bokken shale. i wasn't doing anything i was going into debt so i decided to go from an area that had almost ten percent unemployment to an area that had less than one percent unemployment. i came looking for work but i didn't know what kind of work to take. so i fell into wireline it was very difficult at the beginning i had. accidents while pulling a trailer i could have been killed there were explosives in the trailer and it spun three hundred sixty degrees and the explosives came out the back. but my boss didn't fire me they gave me another chance after the first year i was very pliable i had a marketable skill. it pleases me that i had to hand a small hand but nevertheless i changed my career late in life and involved myself

in american energy independence and in weaning this country of our foreign oil dependency. you know america would sell its own mother for energy. i live in st george utah. and my family's down there i needed to come up here to make some money to pay off debt and stuff were getting there. i went to school and became a teach school elementary school i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could me fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to. dr truck.

i we're usually twelve to fourteen hours to get my truck around eight o'clock in the morning and i work till eight o'clock at night you know somewhere between eight and nine i. was mentally fatigued. not only of my physically fatigued. but it's a mental fatigue also. this is the moment that i like the best. approach down enough to be everything stops vibrating all the noise goes away it's the end of the day.

i live in company housing here it's provided by the company i have to share. thirty five foot r.v. trailer with a three hundred fifty pound guy. you get to pay for. meals in the freezer.

like for many of the gays so i know the game inside i. hope all isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money. and spending children twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy but great so one more chance with. a nice minute. run around trying to find a job and work here or there that's not

a good life. and my children have had some small problems so i spent a lot of money on my children and cumulated debt so. the original plan was to come up here for six months. and get out of debt but as i came up i made money paid off some bills there were other things. i happy birthday celestial. six six stitches yes. well i'm glad you're feeling better celestial. well i mean. i love you to. the t. in the morning. of you. i

usually park the truck come back to the trailer here get a frozen meal. throw in microwave sit down to need it and. if we're not too tired. my roommate nial have a bowl of ice cream and and watch part of a d.v.d. a little after. but most of time it and go to sleep i don't take a shower every night because we don't have a shower well there's a shower in the trailer but there's no running water. and we don't see. this boom has not solely attract unoiled workers. it was an opportunity for people

like jeff and constance to change their lives to open a small business. and before i moved to austin i was in the health care industry and then a hospital administrator for several years in kansas. my project was going to live and i wanted to be with my family first and i remember talking to some people was talking about wilson about north dakota and the oil boom there's a lot of oil out here and there's a lot of jobs you know lot of opportunity for business willesden seem to have the best opportunities for us and my family and so we drove up to the local and we realized immediately there was a huge opportunity out here so many people out here there must've been at least thirty thousand people going through here and there were only five restaurants at the time and then we looked a little bit closer and said ok what skill sets do we have that would be a good fit for this and we thought that maybe if you don't shop for so many other

businesses have done here and the old timers they all think that foreigners coming here to take their money and go back home they don't think we're like that and i think that's one of the reasons we don't since it's not just. the business for us we are part of the community if we were embraced by the community they supported us they definitely did to help the south. we are current of it and will always contribute and. give you a good visit a. lot of kids are going to be really excited to have know it's. we came here they didn't have a donut shop they hadn't had one for over eight years most of these kids never had a girlfriend till four and. they come into my shop all if i go for one it's wow go go nuts. there are more families there are coming to my

list and now i go pick up the land at school and i see other kids you know on the asian kids african hispanic you know it's a good sign that the community is growing. healthy with you know a little. crack lives in bozeman montana a small town six hundred miles away. has run out of options in his hometown and has decided to settle for willis and he knows he will not see his wife in two kids for several weeks. long hours behind the wheel with the hope that he will find work when he arrives when i leave my family like this i usually feel you know pretty lousy at times there was one incident years ago where my daughter was just in tears as i was leaving and it's like it's hard it's it's not fun it's hard but it's what

has to be done. they're getting better at it they're getting used to it i'm getting used to a bust all i could rather be home. craig is the way he's usually gone anywhere from about four weeks to this last one was eight weeks really. didn't see him for about eight weeks and then home from home for about a week or so i think it's been hard for the kids because. they were told me that they feel like it's a broken home you know it's almost like we're divorced because we see so little of each other so it's just been really hard for them this is very similar to living on a ship or being on a boat you're gone for months and see you come back and you see the family for short periods of time and then take off on your ship again you're it's a great analogy it's exactly where it's why. we've all talked about this and i

think we could do with a little less so that he could spend more time with us and be more of a family. so i think i would rather have that happy family over here some of the stuff that we transfer died for us that watching my kids grow up it's difficult and dylan it's almost five years now there's no doubt about it but it's just it's what we have to do. and him had just lost his job in the oil business when he met us and constance the couple was charged by the courage of a low power of this young man ready to do anything to save his family from misery. since then adam spends all his nights eating donuts. and doing three jobs right now working every day. trying to get some money i want to read ok.

i've got two girls two daughters and i want something better form where we lived in southern california is not a very nice place to live so it's a lot of crime to gangsters and so the north dakota a be a better place to raise a family. is a lot of resources here and you've got the salvation army and they feed you here at the methodist church over it lutheran church down there. but i get food from work too at the donuts trying to send all my money home for my wife to pay the bills and rent it's enough to get by you know just pay the red you know. one hundred a week or i know they guy me understand i have a family he wanted to say one hundred twenty five but if you drop it down to

a hundred a week. you. the american dream is that you can always chase i really believe that even during a recession there was the opportunities for each is going to look for you got to be overwhelming and move to change that to get going and go go chase go do it. now a lot of people don't do that but the ones they do with usually come out ahead wrong. because our country's never stable across the whole world it's very rare to have all fifty states doing well it's also rare to have all fifty states do and poorly so we're always moving around that's part of our national character it's always find new opportunities wherever they may be. what i do here pretty much is remodeling homes and handyman work fixie and other people's mistakes and other people's problems mostly for homeowners residential it

keeps me real busy. i bill out usually about sixty hours a week i can easily put in a twelve hour day no promise you have to run you know my go to bank post office go see clients check on supplies orders stuff lot of running around to do i love to work how i am a workaholic there's no doubt about it the money's nice but i like work just the way my family is. and. these are some of the old cattle pens in corrals here some of the fallen apart completely but this is where they bring in the cattle to brando and have the calves i have the fats work on them and stuff but now i can see it i don't use it anymore . there was kind of a tough life i mean you lose cattle they die and the winners and so on the hot summers and you know drought you just don't know what's going to happen gamble

every day never made a lot of money doing that most are ranchers and farmers but they really don't want to do that anymore because they've got the palms down there that they can make money off of. and the oil's put a lot a lot of money into their pockets so now they can do what they want you know take it easy work whatever they want to do so now it's not as risky life's not as risky as you used to be. a leader. you don't meet many people that are from. when i'm talking to a bunch of people i don't know and they say we're you from i say here and they go

what. most people have lived here then they were dismayed to see this many people coming lot of people made a lot of money so i mean they like that the older folks that lived here on a fixed income renting an apartment they went from three hundred a month two thousand a month and rent so they're gone. i remember the first time i drove out to the place and i was eighteen miles about and i counted fifty or oil rigs that i could see from the road and that's when it started getting crazy i thought you know the oil companies for the most part they're good until we start thinking that they can power right over here because they're big and powerful . one thing they do do and i asked them when they came out the first time they always send a woman along with the initial group to comes out and i asked him straight out i said is that because we will shoot a woman and he said yeah. we

never walk in the house now i go take the key out. all of time at my pickup we walk in the house we have alarm system in the house that changes just about everything. to get my me own. power yet more and more neighbors. it's not the country anymore like it used to be a. lot of these are people who have moved in with the oil. there is no place to buy in town they bought lots out here probably three four acres watch the bills out here.

one else chose seemed wrong. but old rules just don't call. me old yet to stamp out disdain comes to attitude and in games from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. china says they're going to buy a lot more stuff from the u.s. and so trump is having an effect i mean is that weighing into the minutiae of trade deals. president has done that i can recall usually they just paint a broad stroke and hope for the best so he's actually getting into the details of trade deals that. fifty years ago breaking within to come together and as a sleeping pill there does this is what i mean because the truth of this is. the

scientific sweat terrible but not on. the war. across europe. legal battles demanding at least some compensation. in two ways first will the physical damage itself as well that the concert mind of the people who actually perpetrated this crime has never been the justice and there's been a couple. there's .

there's two on the odd. headlines on the international an f.b.i. informant or a spy us politicians on the media got into a model about how to describe the role of a cambridge professor who infiltrated donald trump's election campaign. italy's political crisis deepens a failed to euro skeptic coalition says the e.u. is behind the italian president's decision to appoint brussels and friendly interim government. to a minister with a good. dog because he's moving through the storm at the. capital goods. and the israeli parliament debates a new law that would ban the filming of i.d.f.

soldiers who are currently in the spotlight for using excessive force. nine zero one on choose day morning here in moscow this is the international we are rounding up now your top world stars. america is split not just along democrat and republican lines this time it's about one word spygate the term was used by the u.s. president donald trump to refer to the intelligence services planting an alleged mold in his election campaign the department of justice though refers to that person as an informant. explains the semantic model that america has gotten itself into. there are many out there who would and do call into question donald trump's business process but there's no denying the guy is a branding machine and his labels have

a tendency to work like gangbusters mark you know little mark he's a lion ted and you know that's his name we can have many rocket men sick puppy shooting rockets all over the place through kid hillary crazy very he's crazy is a bit but you know he does it with terms ladies hashtag where the buzz word is spreading like wildfire he came up with this one to remind anyone who follows his twitter which is everyone that the f.b.i. may have spied on his campaign through a confidential informant but that sounds all official and is definitely not scary or catchy q trump we now call it spygate you're calling it spygate adding a gate at the end makes it so much better doesn't it watergate deflate gate russia gate priceless and according to some anonymous sources that spoke with the a.p. terms choice of the word us by was not an accident he allegedly picked the term believing it to be more sinister and likely to be picked up by the media and if

that's true boy was he right the revelations of the obama era political targeting grow more ominous by the day trump claims the f.b.i. may have been spying on his campaign he's kind of upset with me read an article in the new york times and he seems to feel that there was a mole or a spy in this campaign ok no surprise that fox picked up and ran with trump's phrasing but seriously it's common knowledge that if a toddler is throwing a tantrum you simply don't give them the attention they clearly want the fake scandal the trump scripted for us in the media this week as a name one we're not going to repeat this morning and has tweets to go with it which i am not going to read because reading those tweets is what he wants us to do see even enjoy get m.s.n. b.c. could have been a shining beacon of rationality for the rest of the media to look up to and not give trump exactly what he wanted but no. president trump has seized on this new branding effort to discredit the discredit the russian investigators and i don't really know where kids spygate and it just went on from there after running out

of steam either supporting or contradicting trump claims little hint either way it still works for trump they want on spending air time defecting the semantics at play here we give you the great debate of informant first spot what's your reaction first to the tweet and second to the distinction between a spy term on the president is using and informants they're one in the same a confidential informant is someone who is informing confidentially in other words spying you may call this person a confidential informant that sounds perfectly fine right but what if it's a spa funnily enough and a breakdown of the coverage of translate this phrase by the washington post we were mentioned as having not picked up on it but you still haven't said it with this whole time i haven't thought it ok well then spygate spygate spygate can we move on now. the individual at the center of the spike at scandal is cambridge professor

stuff and help it was a allegedly collecting information on several of trump's aides and they were suspected of having links to the russian government something they deny the information was reportedly used to stir up the trump russia conclusion probe and we discussed a spy gate with legal and media analyst lionel. it's amazing how they focus on the word spied a versus informant if the question is not whether he technically falls under the the definitional rubric of spy versus informant question is what was he doing there in the first place russian collusion and that's the that's the fiction that the story they're being told so what they do is instead of realizing look you got away with this just let this guy don't bring this up anymore no no no no they want to focus on the use of the word spy they can't let it go and it

was intimated somehow that artie did not pay a lot of attention to the word either informant or spygate but he used a little bit of the word spot and it was used i guess the theory behind this was isn't that interesting that r.d. decides not to use those terms not to use those words what does that mean. it may mean the following it may mean that r.d. believe it or not was involved in reporting the new. italy is said to be led by an interim pro european prime minister that's after all euro skeptic coalitions a bid to govern was derailed by the italian president and the head of the league party one of the failed coalitions members things this may have been at brussels. is a short recap of the last two days of the political drama in italy proceeded i asked for the ministry an authoritative political figure who was not seen as supporting

a line that could provoke it from the euro called because one can say no to a minister with his name pluto donald duck because he is not approved by the stock market world financial world or some european capitals is this a joke. i accepted the mandate. many italians hope for this government to get started so this was an ugly serious baseless act. i want to speak again of my friendship and support for president there's a crucial task at hand for you or me to them furious allow me to be furious today. we also have principles inside the euro zone even more but they should tell us every government must have the stamp of approval of burley in paris and brussels this is crazy the euro skeptic coalition failed to form a government after the italian president rejected its antihero pick for economy

minister and surprise surprise the presidents now appointed a former international monetary fund official as interim prime minister so that means fresh italian elections are now on the horizon the failed coalition has called for the president to be impeached accusing him of bowing to e.u. pressure. reports brussels track record of typically getting its way. you can win an election create a coalition put together a plan for reforms and a ruling cabinet but turns out you still don't get to govern well that's if you're in the e.u. and you have a euro skeptic agenda. approved all the proposals for the ministers did not approve the name of the minister of economy essentially this means that the majority of voters who between them opted for the five star movement and northern league two parties with an anti e.u.

agenda in march actually don't get to decide the president awaits a red card because he doesn't like one proposed minister and key to political crisis possible snap elections is this really how democracy is supposed to work. find a constitution the government can't commit to changing. this is a limited sovereignty it's a piece of democracy there is a way brussels hasn't shied away from warning the new italian government against disobeying the e.u. rule book and it looks like it's got its way no matter what the tally in voters want it and when has that happened before oh yes back in two thousand and five a referendum was held on whether or not to adopt a european constitution here in france as well as in the netherlands voters rejected the idea yet despite that clear unease the e.u.

pushed ahead with branding it as the lisbon treaty three years later which contained many of the changes the constitution had attempted to introduce but this time the majority of the public didn't have a say because parliament simply ratified it island the only e.u. member which stuck with the referendum rejected this bill treaty but that result didn't. go down well with brussels but i believe we should not rush to conclusions believe the truth is a lie and we should now try to find a solution and despite a clear fifty three percent no vote the irish will back at the polls just sixteen months later for what must have felt like day finally the e.u. got the answer it was looking for yes those you were supposed to jump for joy what about greece the mediterranean country drowning in a sea of its own.
