No matter what your name is. Stahl its rare that russian agents come out from the shadows. But tonight, you will hear from 30yearold maria butina, who was front page news when she was charged, not with espionage, but with acting as an agent of a foreign government, and not registering with the u. S. Government. A judge in her case said butina sought to collect information that could be helpful to the russian government, under the direction of a russian official, at a time when the russian government was interfering in our electoral process. There was no trial, because butina, who was here on a student visa, cooperated and pled guilty to conspiring to act as a foreign agent. After serving time in a federal prison, she was just deported back to moscow. Maria butina was arrested on july 15, 2018, portrayed at the time as a sexy covert agent, planted by the putin government to infiltrate the n. R. A. These are photos of her at n. R. A. Events that she posted on her own social media accounts. Theyre a far cry from the young woman we met while she was still an inmate at a federal prison in tallahassee, florida. Hi, maria. Maria butina hello. Stahl the dazzle was gone, replaced by resentment and defiance. Her story, she told us, began in siberia, where she grew up, hunting with her dad. After university, she moved to moscow, and said she started a group called the right to bear arms. You were seeking a 2nd amendment for russia. Is that correct . Butina we were trying to get the changes in russian law that would allow guns for self defense. Stahl okay. So you hear that, an american hears that, and they say, come on, putin is not going to allow people to run around owning guns. Heres the case against you, that you started this organization as a way to infiltrate the n. R. A. Here, to meet people, as a way in to influence us. Butina thats nonsense. Stahl but you did that. You used your organization to meet people in the n. R. A. Butina the n. R. A. , for us, has always been an example. Because there is no more powerful lobbyist gun group in the world than the n. R. A. Learning from them was an honor. Stahl her introduction to the n. R. A. Was facilitated by this man, Alexander Torshin, a russian official, who she has admitted in court papers directed her activities in the u. S. Butina met him, she says, when he attended one of her gun rights rallies in moscow. We obtained thousands of private twitter messages they sent each other over 2. 5 years. Was he close to putin . Butina i dont think so. Stahl so you wrote him a message and you said, you are an influential member of putins team. Your words. Butina it doesnt suggest hes close to putin in any way. Stahl but was he an influential member of putins team . Butina i dont know. Stahl well, you wrote that. You know, in reading through your messages, it reads as if hes your intelligence case officer. Butina look, this is i think its an american, very old saying, that suggests that wolves have teeth, but not all animals with teeth are wolves. You cannot judge a person based on appearance. Stahl her appearance changed after she met torshin, becoming something of a celebrity, posing glamorously with guns in gq russia and on her own instagram account. Around that time in moscow she met with david keene, the former president of the n. R. A. , and other members, like paul erickson, who would become butinas boyfriend. You got to the point where you were staging rallies. You were holding conferences, or at least one big conference, where you brought the n. R. A. People from the United States over to moscow. And youre a kid from siberia. And im having trouble knowing how a young person is able to pull this off. Butina thats a great question to ask here in america. Because there were times when people didnt believe that women are capable to be leaders at all. Stahl that wasnt a sexist question. Butina because that it is. Because, i was stahl no, no, no, im saying youre a young person. Youre 23 years old. Butina but this is exactly the same. How can one judge me and say, what, i was too smart for my age . I think that is what is praised in america. When a young person takes his or her destiny in his own hands and fights. Stahl you traveled across the United States, attending n. R. A. Meetings. The u. S. Government says that you were making connections with republicans so that you could influence u. S. Policy, and you were doing it slowly but deliberately. Butina if i were not russian, that would be called social networking. Stahl have you ever had a case like this . John demers, the assistant attorney general for national security, whose office helped prosecute butina, says what she did wasnt social networking, and wasnt on her own initiative. I quoted butinas lawyer, bob driscoll maria is not a spy. She knows of no secret codes. There were no safe houses. In other words, she was completely open and there was no espionage. John demers her lawyer is right that she didnt get, as far as we know, classified information. Right. But thats not what she was doing here. She was an influence agent. She was getting access to americans who she thought were close to power in america. Stahl what was the actual crime . Demers the law she broke was being here acting as an agent of the russian government while she was here, and pretending that she wasnt. Stahl is that a law . Demers its one of the laws that we have, to combat foreign influence. What makes her so dangerous is that the people who shes contacting dont know that shes there taking direction from the russian government. Stahl she first came to the u. S. In 2014 to attend n. R. A. Conventions, where she posted photos with prominent republicans scott walker, bobby jindal, rick santorum. Her argument is, im some spy. You know, here i am showing myself with these people all over the place. Im not hiding. Demers shes hiding her true identity. Thats her face, but shes not telling them that shes there as an agent of russia. Stahl this was a photo she didnt post, though we were able to obtain this grainy copy. In one of her private messages to her contact in moscow, Alexander Torshin, she wrote are we allowed to publish the photo of trump jr. . As if they needed to run the decision up to a more senior level. There were other hints of a Higher Authority when she organized meetings in moscow in december 2015 between senior officials, including torshin. When you see this, again, you can get the impression that theres some government person higher than torshin kind of directing this whole thing, pulling the strings. Butina but its all conspiracy theories. There is absolutely no proof of any of that, and i am not aware of any actions like this. Stahl she didnt just attend n. R. A. Events. Here she is in the summer of 2015 at a Libertarian Convention in las vegas called freedomfest, where she asked thencandidate donald trump a question. Butina do you want to continue the politics of sanctions that are damaging on both economies, or you have any other ideas . Trump i dont think youd need the sanctions. I think that we would get along very, very well. Stahl one of the goals of the russian government at this point in time was to get rid of those sanctions. It was a major goal. Butina it was also a major goal for every russian citizen that suffers today from these sanctions, i believe, that our countries shall not fight. Stahl so you asked about sanctions and not gun rights, because you want us to be friends. Butina absolutely. Stahl not long after, she began helping organize u. S. Russian friendship dinners. In a document sent to torshin, she wrote that these dinners will make it possible to exert the speediest and most effective influence on the process of making decisions in the american establishment. Thats pretty explicit, that youre seeking to influence u. S. Policy. Butina its pretty explicit that i am seeking that our two countries establish friendship between each other. And i dont mean governments. I mean people. Stahl as the 2016 u. S. Election was approaching, she claimed to have success making direct contact with several of Donald Trumps russian advisors. And she writes torshin, we made our bet. I am following our game. Torshin answers, this is the battle for the future. It cannot be lost. Patience and cold blood. A week later, butina writes, only incognito right now everything has to be quiet and careful. So, incognito, patience, cold blood. What is that . Butina let me take you back to 2016, around the elections time. Do you remember how at that point American Media treated russia . Everything was toxic. Tell me that there is no racism here against the russians . Oh, please. It is. Stahl i reminded her that the judge said her crime was a threat to our democratic institutions. Butina and it is very sad for me, because it shows how broken the Justice System in the United States is. Stahl youre saying shes wrong . Butinecau betheyou cannot charge collecting information with not specifying what information. I have never collected any sensitive or classified information. Stahl theyre saying you sought to influence our policies. Butina i never sought to influence your policies. I came here on my own because i wanted to learn from the United States and go back to russia to make russia better. Stahl the Justice Department taped our interview with butina, which john demers listened to. Demers it was a masterpiece of disinformation. It had conflation, obfuscation, changing the subject, accusing you of being sexist, accusing the American People of being racist against russians. Whenever the questions got difficult, trying to change the topic. Partial denials. Stahl so theres no way to look at what she was doing here as being somewhat naiive and innocent . Demers i dont think that shes naiive or innocent. Stahl less than a week after donald trump won the election, butina was claiming to her contact Alexander Torshin that she had influence over at least one of the cabinet choices. John bolton will be secretary of state, 90 , she writes, and continues, ask our people if theyre happy with that. Our opinion will be taken into account. What does that mean . Butina well, lesley, paul told me to write that. Stahl paul erickson, her former boyfriend, and a republican operative. Butina i hesitated to write that, but i thought it might, you know, it was a certain way to show off to torshin and say, well, maybe i have highlevel contacts here. Stahl do you think she had influence over who was chosen . Demers i doubt it. I think she intended to have influence over who was chosen. And i think what makes her dangerous is that, at the end of the day, we dont know. Stahl one of the things she wanted to talk about were the conditions in the washington, d. C. Jail where she was first held. Cockroaches were everywhere, she claimed, no mattresses or blankets. And. You told me that you found faith . Butina no. God found me. He was always there. And helped me to go through all these tough days. Stahl that included over 100 days in solitary confinement. Butina it is a torture. It is not normal for a human being to be locked for 23, 20, 22 hours in a cell by your own. Do you really think for not filing the paper, you deserve 18 months of incarceration, four months in solitary confinement, and all this experience in jail . Is that the way . Demers when she was talking to you in your interview, her audience wasnt the American People. It was Vladimir Putin and all the people in russia who are going to decide her fate when she goes back there. Stahl are you worried that shes going to go around the country, criticizing, you know, how dare the americans talk about human rights, look what happened to me . Demers and i have very little doubt that the russian government will leverage her as an instrument of propaganda, to say, here was this poor, young, idealistic russian student, and look what happened to her. They threw her in jail for 18 months. Stahl when she arrived back in moscow a week ago, she was greeted by a media frenzy, had a reunion with her dad, and immediately started giving interviews about the conditions of her incarceration. ticking may 1 of 75.

Its one thing to declare, im out of here. Its Something Else entirely to disentangle finances and come up with custody arrangements. If divorce between two people is seldom tidy, imagine the complications when the split is, effectively, between a country and a continent. The United Kingdom is learning this the hard way. British voters decided to exit, or brexit, the European Union, ending a long marriage. That was in june of 2016. More than three years later, you might say that the u. K. Is still sleeping on the couch. This past thursday, the deadline to leave passed without resolution. Yet there is a certain uniquely british theatricality to brexit, a mix of colorful characters, conflicts, threats, promises. But still, no clear exit strategy. John bercow order, order. Wertheim he may demand it, but order has been in short supply lately at the palace of westminster. Bercow be a good boy, young man. Be a good boy. Wertheim thought partisan politics was an exclusively American Issue . Take a look at the mother of parliaments. Boris johnson i have to say, mr. Speaker, i have never heard such humbug in all my life. Wertheim youd be forgiven for thinking youd walked into a streetfight, with considerably nicer upholstery. Barry sheerman this prime minister, to talk about morals and morality, is a disgrace. Bercow order. Wertheim it falls to the speaker, john bercow, to preside. Bercow calm. Wertheim unlike nancy pelosi, this speaker doesnt usually vote. His job . Keeping well, order. In theory, anyway. Bercow order wertheim can we get you a gavel . They make those. Would that make your job easier . Bercow im not sure it would. And its very unbritish to have a gavel in the chamber. Although there is a general requ b people doubtless myself included think that we are being briefer than we are. And most people are in favor of brevity, as long as it is someone elses. Protestors we come from yorkshire just to say. Wertheim the dividing lines the United Kingdoms decision to exit the European Union, the 28country political and trading bloc. This issue has not only engulfed the doorsteps of parliament, but the country as a whole. Brexit will impact every bit of the economy, from roaming charges to auto parts; from cattle to cod. Paul joy, whose family has been fishing for centuries, cannot wait to leave the European Union and its limits on his catch. Paul joy its as bad as weve ever seen. Its been decimated over a period of time. I can remember the days fishing when we just had to go out there and fish, and there was no such things as quotas. We had abundant fish stocks before we entered europe. Wertheim to understand the current scrap over brexit, it helps to understand an ancient dispute the battle of hastings. Which certainly isnt lost on these guys, who reenact it every year. In 1066, william the conqueror defeated the anglosaxon king harald, and the Norman Conquest changed england forever, becoming an important plot point in britains complicated relationship with europe. Fool youre talking to a fool, sir. I am not a great political theorizer or a historian. Wertheim in the great tradition of shakespeare, the fool knows of whence he speaks. Fool as long as there has been an england, there has been an opinion upon europe. Wertheim on a clear day, you can look out across the English Channel here and see the french poles away. But if you really want a sense of just how close the United Kingdom sits to mainland europe, consider these sheer magnificent white cliffs of dover. They represent the original split between this country and that continent, hard proof that the United Kingdom and europe were once, quite literally, attached. This geological brexit came tens of thousands of years ago during an ice age. Since then, the cliffs serve as a fortress protecting against invasion, and also serve as a reminder that this is truly an island. This ambivalence toward europe here, what do you attribute that to . Matthew parris the ambivalence towards Continental Europe in britain is very, very deep rooted and very long standing indeed. Wertheim Matthew Parris was a conservative member of parliament in the 1980s. For the last 20 years, hes been a columnist for the times of london. Parris i mean, i could go back to elizabeth i, the spanish armada. I could go back to catholicism. The catholic plots. Henry viii. I could go back to the first world war, the Second World War. Wertheim it was after the Second World War that Winston Churchill encouraged the creation of a european bloc, so as never to repeat the horrors of the first half of the 20th century. Winston churchill call it maybe the United States of europe. Wertheim in 1973, britain joined what became known as the European Union, a Single Market with no customs, no tariffs, and effectively, no borders. Its a trading treasure, says gina miller, a prominent london businesswoman. Youre saying the same way food and cars and medicine goes from kansas to missouri, thats the kind of seamless relationship you have with 27 other countries. Gina miller it is, and we have, you know, if you look at that whole population, we have a market on our doorstep of over half a billion people. Wertheim the combined population miller the combined population of the e. U. Member states. Wertheim and people too, right . Poles can come here to work, and brits can go to paris and berlin. Miller yeah, we ha weve had freedom of movement has been really crucial to our economy, because weve been able to plug the gap when its come to certain skills. Wertheim unified, countries in europe can compete with the u. S. And china. But this borderless britain, so appealing to miller, is precisely what enrages the socalled brexiteers, such as nigel farage, an aggressively polarizing figure nicknamed the godfather of brexit. For years, youve had a slogan, i want my country back. Where did it go and where do you want it to go . Nigel farage well, you know, if you have foreign judges, if you have foreign parliaments, if e. U. Law is superior to your law you cant even control your own borders, you cant even catch your own fish in your territorial waters. Its not, you know youre not a country. Wertheim by posing in front of a billboard featuring middle east migrants, farage played on fears of Mass Immigration inflaming tensions, and his campaign to leave europe picked up traction with more mainstream politicians. By the summer of 2016, british membership of the e. U. Was put to a referendum. Next stop downing street, boris . Wertheim enter Boris Johnson, stage right. Reliably rumpled and strenuously selfparodying, johnson was ending his tenure as londons mayor, and seeking to feed his National Political ambitions. Brexit provided nourishment. Johnson can we go forward to victory on june the 23rd . Yes we can. Wertheim johnson became the frontman for british citizens nostalgic for empire, and feeling left behind in a changing world. Parris i think the brexit people knew very well what they were playing to. They they adopted a very effective slogan quite early on, which was, take back control. And it was devilishly effective. Wertheim were regaining what was once rightfully ours. Parris make America Great again. laughs wertheim a result that surprised even johnson, the vote passed 52 to 48 in favor of leave. David dimbledy the british people have spoken and the answer is, were out. David cameron thank you very much. Wertheim so it was that the door to 10 downing street became the revolving variety. The prime minister, david cameron, resigned over the brexit result. Theresa may came in, only to resign herself when she couldnt get brexit done. She was replaced by Boris Johnson last july. Brexit brought delays and uncertainty and grim projections that the british economy would shrink significantly as a result of leaving. Acting as a private citizen fed up with it all, gina miller demanded that parliament have a voice on such a critical issue. So she filed a lawsuit. You took the government to the supreme court, the highest court in this country, not once but twice. You are a busy woman. laughs why did you undertake this . Miller it sounds maybe a flippant thing to say, but nobody else was going to do it. And, im sorry. You have to consult and debate with parliament before we leave the e. U. Wertheim miller won her cases, pushing parliament to center stage, which, in turn, helped mint an unlikely star in the neverending brexit caper. Bercow let me say to people bellowing from a sedentary position, stop it. Wertheim john bercow, speaker of parliament. Bercow the house must calm itself. Zen. Restraint. Patience. Wertheim for centuries, the speaker has been a neutral arbiter pinned to the sidelines. Not this speaker. Consistently ruling against the brexiteers, hes put himself squarely in the center of the action. His supporters say that he has modernized the role. Brexiteers say bercow oversteps, as though the referee has suddenly become the captain of the opposing team. Bernard jenkin it is becoming remarkable how often you please one lot and not the other lot. Bercow what i say about that is that you should always view with some suspicion and reserve people who, when theyre losing, or think that theyre getting a rough deal, moan about the referee. And i think these moaning minnies ought to cease moaning. But do they bother me . Do i lose sleep . Am i going to find that my hair turns even whiter as a result of the rancorous demonstrations of discontent by some of these characters . No. I couldnt give a flying flamingo about their protests. Geoffrey cox this parliament is as dead as dead can be wertheim that was the attorney general. Bercow yes, well, hes entitled to his view, but he suffers from the notable disadvantage of being wrong. Wertheim bercow may have emerged as a most unlikely cult figure, but he has leaned in to his celebrity. Bercow jon, welcome to the state apartments of speakers house. Wertheim moments after a critical session last week, he invited us to his modest apartment deep inside the palace of westminster, surrounded by ghosts of speakers past. Bercow now here we come into what is called the corner room. Wertheim and for a man once slurred by a government minister as a sanctimonious dwarf, bercow, rather gamely, was quick to bring up the topic of his height. Bercow im not the shortest speaker in u. K. History. Wertheim three predecessors, he insists, were smaller. And then he delivers the punchline. Bercow although i do have to admit that this was true only heter all three of them had been laughs wertheim theyd all had their heads cut off, so bercow yes. Wertheim thats why. They they lost six inches. Bercow thats right. Wertheim after ten years in office, speaker bercow retired this week, with his head intact if only barely. As for Boris Johnson, hed long promised that brexit would happen by october 31, vowing that he would rather be found dead in a ditch than face another delay. Johnson there will be no further pointless delay. Wertheim guess what . October 31 has come and gone. A new election has been called for next month, and the u. K. Remains in brexit limbo. What does that say about the state of the u. K. Right now . Miller i think weve lost our minds, basically. laughs wertheim lost your minds. Miller i mean, on the world stage, we were seen as being pragmatic, sensible, stiff upper lip, soft power. We are the people who do that. So we have damaged our reputation on the world stage. Wertheim it seems so off brand for this country. Miller it is completely off brand, but i think its a moment of madness. Wertheim to paraphrase a brexit tabloid headline i saw today, what the hell happens now . laughs bercow what the hell happens now . Well, the truth of the matter is, i dont know. And i think anybody who predicts with alacrity the outcome of the brexit saga is either an extraordinarily sophisticated person. Or a rank fool. ticking cbs sports hq is presented by from guessive insurance. Im james brown with the scores from the n. F. L. Today.

Today, theres one name that dominates saddle bronc the wrights. There are nine members of the Wright Family riding the circuit, and they rank among the best in the world. In a sport with plenty of wannabe cowboys, as youll see and hear, the wrights are the real deal, vestiges of the american frontier. Their lifestyle has prepared them for whats been called one of the last blue collar sports in america. In saddle bronc, there are no tom brady salaries and there are regular injuries that would make runningbacks flinch. And yet, none of that discourages the wrights. Each generation seems to be better than the last. Tonight, well introduce you to americas first family of rodeo, competing for glory on horseback, the wright way. Announcer anybody heard of the wrights, in the bronc riding . Ay n have heard of the wrights before. Announcer they are a utah sensation whitaker . But at rodeos big and small across the country, like this one in utah, that last name is as famous as manning or montana. And there are just about enough wrights to field their own football team. Announcer it is the wright night at the rodeo whitaker nine professional cowboys, with five world titles among them. Theres ryder wright. Announcer ryder come on, ryder at 2 curre sting first place.

Whitaker and in a league of his own, cody wright, the one who started the Family Dynasty 20 years ago. Announcer and street smart whitaker at 42, codys a twotime World Champion and one of the best bronc riders ever. Whats that feel like . Cody wright adrenaline. A little bit of fear. And you got to learn how to control it. You know, otherwise, you know, itll go to heck pretty quick. Announcer theres stetson wright. Whitaker in saddle bronc. Lift. Whitaker . The goal is to hang on with style for eight seconds. Yeah whitaker . To a horse specially bred to buck you off. Can you explain to us whats going on in that eight seconds . Announcer lets go to cody wright. Yeah, go on cody wright youve got a rein you hang on to. Liftca thatst the saddle. When they jump and kick, you know, theyre stretched out, their feet are off the ground, you want to be stretched out, you know, your free arm straight back, and your feet set as high in the neck as you can get them. Whitaker its like one hell of a rocking horse. Cody wright it can be the roughest ride in the world if youre out of time, or it can be the smoothest ride in the world. Whitaker so are you are you kind of dancing with the horse . Cody wright i like to think you are. I dance a lot better with a horse than i do with my wife. laughter i aint got no rhythm. Whitaker the wrights, and the broncos theyre randomly paired with, are partners in the both have to perform well to get a good score from the judges. But when its gotime, the wrights, the sons and brothers, crowd around the chute like a nascar pit crew, helping each other saddle up. This is a team sport for you guys. Cody wright i think so. I love it. Theres nobody id rather see do better. But dont dont think that i aint trying to beat them. Jake wright we all show up to the rodeo wanting to win first, but, and, but were going to help each other do it too. Whitaker thats jake wright, codys younger brother and one of his toughest competitors. And yes, there are more brothers jakes twin jesse. A brotherinlaw, Coburn Bradshaw. Plus, alex, calvin, stuart and Spencer Wright. Spencer wright were like a big support group. You know, theres ten of the best bronc riders right in the world right here.

Whitaker all that practice has propelled them to the National Finals rodeo in las vegas. Its the cowboy superbowl. Announcer Spencer Wright, hes got a great ride going whitaker . And team wright has made it every year for the last decade and a half. Cody has won the champions gold buckle twice. Jake wright he showed us that we could do it with a little hard work and a lot of try. Spencer wright if he wouldve never even pursued rodeo, i wonder what the rest of us would even be doing. laughs whitaker what theyre doing comes at a steep cost. While these horses are rarely injured, that cant be said for the wrights. They all have the same Orthopedic Surgeon on speed dial. Can i see a show of hands of how many of youve been injured . So all of youve been injured . And two of you came into this interview on crutches. laughter jake wright three of us. laughs whitaker tell me some of the injuries. Jesse wright i think the worst was my back, when i broke my back in omaha. Alex wright fractured my skull. Jake wright i broke my nose about ten times Spencer Wright i broke all the sinuses on this right side of my face one time and had a brain bleed. As far as injuries goes, i think im one of the lucky ones sitting here. Whitaker do you hear yourself . Brain bleed . laughs and you call that lucky . Calvin wright hurts a lotle. laughs whitaker but heartache wont land you in the hospital. The wright boys are well aware every ride could be their last. Stuart came close. Stuart wright i said, lets go, and horse reared up and hit my head. Kind of knocked me a little senseless. And i fell off, into the arena. He just jumped straight up and fell completely on me. Thought it broke my back, because i just felt my ribs pop as he landed on me. I was like, oh my gosh whitaker as awful as that may sound, the wrights say the hardest pa cody wright whatd they tell alex last time he went to the doctor . Whitaker theyre on the road around 250 days a year, clocking 100,000 miles in these. What cody wright this weekend youre going to heridan and fort pierre, or vice versa . Whitaker where they eat, sleep, and drive from canada to the mexican border, chasing eight second dreams. Do you sometimes feel like youre on the road more times than youre on a horse . Jesse wright you drive 22, 24 hours from home to there. And were there an hour, turn around and driving back. laughs Coburn Bradshaw we drive for a living, and ride bucking horses for fun. laughs everyone yeah. laughter whitaker when they arent on the road, home is southern utah. They mostly grew up in milford, a nostoplight town where the wrights are the main attraction. Theyre a family of 13 kids, kept in line by their parents, bill and evelyn. Thats a huge family. Mit,he more you want. Bill wright she trained the older ones to help the younger ones. Evelyn wright i had to organize them. Bill wright but she Evelyn Wright im like, i cannot do this on my own. Or else its going to be bad, because moms going to grow bear hair and youre not going to like it. Home video all right, quit it. Whitaker the wright kids were cowboys playing cowboys and were natural ranch hands. It kept them out of evelyns hair, and out of trouble. The seven boys and six girls knew how to ride a horse before they could peddle a bike. Some of the girls rodeod, too, but never went pro. Evelyn wright they learned how to break horses early, how to ride and tame horses and train them. I think you have to be a cowboy before you can be a rodeo cowboy. Whitaker the ranch was their training ground. The family has been working this land at the edge of Zion National park for more than a century and a half. Bill wright im five generations, codys six, rustys seven, and his boy is eight. laughs generations. Hitakeil do you thin the Wright Family will be ranching this land in another 150 years . Bill wright well, i hope so, i really do. When you work as hard on something as i have at this, you dont want to see it just go away. Whitaker what keeps their way of life going are rituals like this branding day. Heeoh heeoh whitaker bill and his children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren gather every year to round up, vaccinate, and brand their cattle. The hard work brings them together. It defines them on the ranch and in the arena. Cody wright dads the first one to preach that you get out of it what you put into it. And if hes seen you putting something into it, they were both behind you. And it didnt matter if they had to sell the the farm. They was going to get you there. Whitaker they sacrificed a lot for you to reach your dream. Cody wright i think so. Um. Whitaker this cowboy gets emotional because he knows exactly how much his parents gave up when he was starting out, in a family where money was tight. Evelyn wright we went to gillette, wyoming, to the National Finals. And i had like ten kids. He comes back from the expo and he said, i bought cody a saddle. Im like, what . Yeah, it was only 1,100. Im like, what . laughter you did what . I was so i started crying. Im like hes like, we got to help him. We dont. Support him. Sere and what do you say to that . Well, thanks for coming. W hasnt exactly made him rich, considering cowboys have to foot the bill for just about everything. I really like rodeos. Cody wright if youre rodeoing full time, and going to, you know, 100 rodeos, youve got to make over 60,000 or 70,000 just to break even. Whitaker so you could go through all this and go to a rodeo and walk away with nothing. Cody wright yeah. You could walk away in the red. Whitaker less than nothing. Cody wright less than nothing. laughs whitaker so surely there are easier ways to make a living. Cody wright youd think so. laughs but, better . I i dont know. Whitaker still, the sport has taken a toll on codys body and his family. Hes spending less time in the arena now, and more time on the ranch. Cody wright reach back. Whitaker and in the practice pen, leading the next generation to carry on the wright legacy, sons ryder, rusty, stetson, who are already rising stars, and the youngest, statler. Achis r his very first bronc ride. Cody wright statler, right there, lift hard and take ahold of him. Statler wright well, i was, like, super nervous, until i got in there. And then i just pretty much forgot about Everything Else but what my dads taught me. Cody wright go on go on keep going, buddy whitaker that ride, howd that feel . Statler wright i hurt my butt, actually. laughs a lot. But as soon as i hit the ground, i wanted to do it again. Whitaker one hall of famer told us that you guys have the potential to be the best there ever was. Rusty wright i think we could do it. But really, thats kind of humbling and, it lights a fire. Whitaker a fire, they say, to win those gold buckles, just like their dad, cody. Cy ight you know, i wanted a gold buckle. But to ride every horse the best i could was always what did it for me, you know. Sure, i want money. Who dont . You need it to go along. But i always just wanted to ride broncs. It was striving to make that perfect ride. And you know, the feeling that you feel when youre in time with a horse thats trying to get you off their back as hard as they can. Whitaker have you ever had a perfect ride . Cody wright no. Ive never had a perfect ride. laughs when i make that perfect ride, im going to be done. ticking how do you tell a rodeo story .
