the money to do it was amazing this year i'm probably going to be making around two hundred fifty thousand dollars there's a lot of work involved a lot of work it's twenty four hours a day seven days a week. well i guess i should get back to work. we're in an inhospitable land full of contrasts before the boom willison was a small conservative agricultural town and in many ways this aspect seems untouched everything has its own place including florida emptiness and silence the streets are practically deserted it's a town that is most in this within its history of the past. then you have another town the one that needs to welcome this new wave of residence oil company settling down a large numbers to call of extracting at least a million barrels of oil a day. this is the one we unpacked like a raft gift and real without so growing up with a kind of uniformity copy and paste prefabricated never custom made. investors

are right in that everything based upon a population that should be multiplied by for. a first came up here in the spring of two thousand ford saying i work there are neighbors they did a hydraulic fracturing and i was looking at how much it will not cost me to stay somewhere you know if i was just going to stand a whole tail it was like a hundred dollars and i was an ok hundred dollars a day seven days a week that's seven hundred dollars a course of a whole week and so i just came to the conclusion you know what i get me a van fix it up so that you know i can be comfortable in it it makes financial sense because i get to keep the majority of my money versus just just on the way on housing and stuff like that. is my first and then. get worse. and that's the biggest. gerri.

my very long winter temperatures sometimes drop of minus twenty. for the time b. c. is ready everything has happened so quickly it's very hard to find a place to. make shift housing known as man camps minet by the hundreds on the edge of town for close to two he said it's. these dormitory towns built by necessity and empty lots of free speech one hundred and one hundred fifty dollars a night to meals including. a two thousand and twelve the population living in these men camps was estimated to be over ten thousand guys from. florida nevada. 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's 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 playable 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. 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 we're getting there. i went to school and became an teach school elementary school i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year and drive a truck so i chose to drive truck. i were 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 me and i . it's mentally.

not only my. physically fit. but it's mental fatigue. this is the moment that i like the best. reached down enough to see everything stops vibrating all the noise goes away. i live in company housing here it's provided by the company i have to share. thirty five foot r.v. trailer with three hundred fifty pounds. guy.

friends are. joining me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

and there are some was some of that all of them. i don't mind little bit of that oh . yeah we do a little for you you took another critical look a lot but if they are going to be chilcote you know. what he said to. me and you come with the he's going to itself with us with. the question is yes but all yes the chest but. here for everyone that is. you know world's big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up

to dig deeper to hit the stories that made history media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. conspiracy going on between wall street and the energy companies to create these fake energy bills an unsustainable debt that's a conspiracy now we reported this five six years ago and gave the exact same raisings that the new york times is giving today it was called conspiracy theory all conspiracies began as a theory it's called investigative journalism. in

twenty four to you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still or here i mean you are liz put video through to me in the new bill is that i new school in the middle of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took boat invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. country. really. and around trying to find a job and work here or there and it's not

a good life. and my children have had some some problems so i spent a lot of money helping 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 made money paid off some bills there were other things. happy birthday celestial. six six stitches yeah. well i'm glad you're feeling better celestial well i mean. i love you too and talk to you in the morning. any of you. are.

usually 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 shower well there's a shower in the trailer but there's no running water. she. just boom has not solely attract unoiled workers. it was an opportunity for people like jeff and constance to change their lives to open

a spa business. and before i moved to boston 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 in the water of opportunity for business willesden seemed 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 have been at least thirty thousand people going through here and there were only five restaurants at the time and then we 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 there were 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 and i think that's one of the reasons we don't since it's not just. a business for us we are part of the community if we were embraced by the community the supported us the deathly didn't help the south. we are current of it and we're always contributed. to be a good day to day. a lot of kids are going to be really excited to have go it's. we came here they didn't have a donut shop they haven't had one for over eight years most of these kids never had a girlfriend or. they come into my shop all its high school board was wow go zones. there are more families there are coming to my

list and now i go pick up the land and 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. house the way you know we need to. create lives in bozeman montana a small town six hundred miles away. he is right out of options in his hometown and has decided to settle for willis and he knows he will not see his wife and two kids for several weeks. 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 it but i still like a brother be home. with craig is the way he's usually go anywhere from about four weeks to this last i was eight weeks early. well see him for about eight weeks along hokum home for about a week or so it's been hard for the kids because. they were told me that check on supplies orders stuff a lot of running around to do i love to work i am a workaholic there's no doubt about it the money's nice but i like work just the way my family is. 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

have the vets work on them and stuff but i can see it i don't use it anymore. it was kind of a tough life i mean you lose cattle they die and and the winners and so on the hot summers and you know drought is just on i was going to happens gamble every day never made a lot of money doing it most or ranchers and farmers but they really want to do that anymore because they've got the pumps 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 it's not as risky life's not as risky as it used to be.

with. 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 they go what . most people have lived here then they were. made to see this many people coming lot of people made a lot of money so i mean they like. the older folks that lived here on a fixed income renting an apartment they went from three hundred a month two thousand a month to rent so they're gone. i remember the first time i drove over to the place that's 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 the time my back up we walk in the house we have alarm system in the house that changes just about everything. to get my mail. our yet more and more neighbors. it's not the country anymore like it used to be. a lot of these are people who moved in with the oil. there was no place to buy in town they

bought a lot so what here probably three four acres watch the bills out here. for a man or sitting in a car when the feds get shot in the head. all four have different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way you could have done it there's no possible way because the list did not shoot around a corner. choate's seemed wrong. but all roles just don't all. meet you get to shape out just a bit comes to educate and engage with equals betrayal. when

so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one in one business show you can afford to miss the one and only

boom but. the. prosecution will need to become almost. a softball to sell. when you push. the threat of fines. by the number one perceived to i mean yeah i mean i mean political pressure on that i need him close to know through security jenna's finance what opponents bundled up business models he was my american corporations. he's sold them good mental disease as you use the controls on the scene and then the solution. lies up in association. as i noted when he saw his it is just me he would tell me to maintain an

investigative documentary. ghost war on oxy. i was. i was i. i like i. was. i was asleep i i. was. i know. that. russia warns that terrorists are preparing
