This is the dry side of the river because the primary winds come from the west. Rain tends to blow over here that brings the snow to the mountains. Anthony legendary writer and poet jim harrison is one of those people and this is the place he calls home. I took a walk through this beautiful world felt the cool rain on my shoulder found something good in this beautiful world i felt the rain getting colder sha, la, la, la, la, la, sha, la, la, la, la, la, sha, la, la, la, la, la, sha, la, la, la, la jim harrison am i as old as they am . Maybe not. Time is a mystery that could tip us upside down. Yesterday i was seven in the woods. A bandage covered my blind eye. Sixtyeight years later i could still inhabit that boys body. I start thinking about a time in between. It is the burden of life to be in the ages without seeing the end of time. Anthony next time you turn off a news cycle filled with shouting bobbleheads, convinced that america is devolving into a moronic inferno, questioning the greatness of your nation; maybe you should come here. Here are your purple mountains majesty. This is the landscape that generations of dreamers, despots, adventurers, explorers, crackpots, and heroes fought and died for. Its one of the most beautiful places on earth. There is no place like it. Montana. Many have come to claim their piece over the years but before the prospectors and explorers there were the plains indians. The absaroka have been master horsemen since they adopted spanish introduced mustangs in the 18th century. Kennard general blackjack pershing. Hes called them native americans, the centaurs of the plains. Anthony better known as the crow, they were once part of the larger hadassah tribe. Centuries ago they split off on their own and wandered or were pushed by conflict with the blackfeet, cheyenne, and dakota until settling here in the Yellowstone River valley. Kennard that horse became everything to our people. Anthony kennard real bird grew up ranching and raising horses here at medicine tail coulee, which happens to be the exact spot where general George Custer had the worst day of his life. Kennard raises horses for rodeo, for riding, and for this; indian relay racing. Kennard the athletic ability on them kids are just amazing. The competition is intense. Anthony they travel all over to compete at this collarbone smashing, skull cracking, bonesnappingly dangerous sport. Former allies and former blood enemies alike. Kennard it requires a lot of courage. Anthony ill bet. Kennard and a high threshold for pain. Its representative of warrior mentality. Anthony one rider, three horses. Annuncer and theyre all in line. Kennard and theyre lined up. Gun goes off. Its like a spontaneous combustion. [ gunshot ] [ cheers and applause ] announcer theyre off. [ indistinct ] announcer on the inside. Anthony top speed is around 40 miles an hour. And after each lap the rider dismounts at full freakin gallop and leaps hopefully onto the next horse. Yes, its as dangerous and difficult as it looks. The prizes at big events run into the thousands of dollars, but really its about bragging rights. Announcer into the race he goes. Anthony and pride. Kennard being in motion, in rhythm, in time, and in one with that horse, they develop strength of character. And once they conquer that fear, that feeling of accomplishment is so great, when they walk back from that race they have this sense of pride and selfworth of sky high. Now theyve identified with their ancestors. Anthony kens wife diane has prepared a lunch of buffalo steaks, potato salad, fry bread and indian pudding made of juneberry stewed with flour and sugar. Kennard when i looked at my ancestors, they didnt have diabetes, they didnt have much cancer. They were very strong, durable people. And i said well, im going to start eating nothing but buffalo. Anthony over the course of your life, how much has this area changed . Kennard quite a bit. We went and picked up a fourwheeler last sunday. Itll be the first fourwheeler on the place. Anthony given those changes, what are the crow people going to be doing in twenty years . Thirty years . Is the horse going to play an important part of the culture still . Kennard i think so yeah, because whats a place going to be like without horses . I wouldnt want to be there. [ helicopter whirls ] anthony who owns this land . Can anyone really own it . Who gets to use it . These are Big Questions that cut across traditional ideological lines out here where they have real meaning, not theoretical meaning. All this belongs to one man; this guy. Bill galt. Bill okay, were about a half mile from uh the confluence of rock creek and the smith river. Anthony galt ranch is a hundred thousand acres of grazing land, mountains, cliffs, and valleys. Theres also some of the best trout fishing on the planet. David bill, the water level on the creek looks good. Anthony this is bills friend, the author and journalist david mccumber. They disagree on land use; a major issue. Remember when you could do that and still be friends . Lee kinsey is a professional outfitter who bill leases some areas of his property to for fishing. Anthony all this to outwit a fish . Lee i know. Anthony its amazing. Lee all right go ahead. Just let that tip high just straight up in the air. Good. Perfect anthony bills a fifth generation montanan whose principal business is raising cattle. Hes no weekend cowboy. This is work and he pays a lot of attention to his land. And a big issue for him for just about everybody around here, is the 1985 stream access law. Bill anybody that could access a stream via a public means could in fact use the stream even if it was on private grounds as long as they stayed within the ordinary High Water Mark of the stream. Anthony widely heralded by sportsman and outdoor enthusiasts, the law did not go down well with landowners like bill. Anthony oh got him something took a bite. Lee yep you still got a fish right in there too. Anthony oh, i see him. Lee perfect. E hoop set, set whoa the fish of the day nice brownie anthony all right beautiful thing thats pretty but i will not eat you today my friend. Not today. Anthony for lunch a modest proteincentric repast of steak. A wagyu angus hybrid bred and raised right here on bills ranch. Bill theres the marbling on the wagyu steak. Thats what makes them good. Anthony oh, thats nice. And its pretty damn tasty i can tell you. So you hold an opposing view is that correct, on access . David the idea behind the stream access law that if you stay in water, its public. I agree with that concept. Bill but where do you draw the line for private Property Rights . If the state were to pass a law that your restroom was public because the public needed it in your house. Anthony right. Bill but just because this isnt my backyard doesnt mean it isnt any less mine than your toilet is yours. We still pay taxes on every foot of it. Anthony im an old school lefty, but i got to say i kind of completely understand the Property Owners point of view here. Thered be no ambiguity in my feeling if if id inherited this land and it had been in my family for generations and i looked around at it and wanted to keep it like it is. If i were to go to a bar in town and i would ask how do you feel about this issue, where would it break . What would people say . Lee depends on if you are a fisherman or a landowner. Bill clearly divided right down the middle. David well, i know a lot of people are going to say when i was a kid i used to be able to go hunt and fish and and i cant now if stuffs getting closed off. And i have some sympathy for that. Bill anybody thats not complying with what stream access, merely has to step into the stream when he hears you coming. Anthony right. David the spirit of it is it makes sense. Bill the spirit of its thievery. David well, i bill we own it, they took it, and thats not stealing it . Without compensation . David i think its still here. Anthony this is about being a good neighbor, right . Bill yeah anthony i mean, so if people ask nicely more often than not, youre going to say yes . Bill we do. It used to be before stream access we seldom required somebody to have permission if they just behaved. Anthony right. Bill themselves. After stream access is when the outfitters came into the world. Not because we wanted to make money but we wanted somebody there patrolling and policing it. The outfitters take care of it. Lee a small stream like this can only take so much pressure. David it really can. Lee and so we try to manage it. Fish it responsibly. And if someone wants to walk all the way from the smith, five miles up to here and do it legally, i say all the more power to him. Bill no. David thats what im sayin. Even though we just started dating i find you so captivating and im done with hesitating lets see where this goes . Save on a gift that says it all. Jared makeawish child i got this for you. vo when you share the love, you change lives. Over twentytwo hundred wishes granted. More than fifty seven thousand pets supported. Over one hundred National Parks protected. Over two million meals provided. Through the subaru share the love event, subaru will have proudly donated over one hundred seventy Million Dollars to national and Hometown Charities over twelve years. shelter attendant thank you. grandfather thank you. senior thank you. makeawish child thank you. Anthony at first look youd think this is the worst place on earth. A ravaged, toxic, godforsaken hill, threatened from above, riddled with darkness below. But youd be wrong. Butte, montana. It is in fact heartbreakingly, poignantly beautiful. The gallous frames seem eyesores for only a second before it becomes clear why theyre points of fierce pride for locals for whom they signify and commemorate everything. Aaron for montanans, many people consider it sort of a black eye. I happen to think its sort of the essence of montana. Anthony Aaron Parrett was born in butte. Hes a professor of literature and a chronicler of the citys colorful literary history. Anthony there is something beautiful about this city, right . Aaron yeah, the enduring decay. Anthony like in detroit or buffalo or cleveland, you can see the aspirations of the builders or the people who they were building for. Aaron as ive gotten older i kind of think about it the way europeans romanticized those ruins in greece and rome. Butte is americas acropolis. Anthony in its hay day, butte produced tens of billions of dollars worth of copper that built, well america. That helped power the country. Defended it against germany and japan. Without this hill, no copper wire, no electricity. At the turn of the century, marcus dalys amalgamated company consumed the others and became anaconda copper. By the twenties the company, as it was referred to, was one of the largest corporations in america, generating staggering wealth by todays or any days standards. Anthony people came from all over the world to make their fortunes here or simply for steady work; a better life. Cornish, welsh, a lot of eastern europeans aaron croatians, serbs. Very ethnically diverse. Anthony by montana standards . Or by any standards . Aaron i would say by any standards. Its kind of a micro version of new york city. Anthony meaderville was an italian neighborhood and developed a tradition of supper clubs. Lydias was opened in 1946 by lydia micheletti in the fourmile, the valley below butte. So what is a supper club . Ive heard about this tradition but i dont really understand what distinguishes a supper club from a restaurant. Aaron at least in montana the supper clubs are a variation on meadervillestyle. Involves this antipasto beginning. Anthony sliced beets, sweet potato salad, salami and cheese, side salad, pickled peppers, and breadsticks. Aaron then when you actually get your entree, you get oddly enough ravioli or spaghetti or here both, but also frenchfries. Anthony odd. Aaron that may be unique to montana. Anthony for entrees seared scallops and white wine sauce for aaron. Me, noticing were pretty much landlocked around here; i go for the extra thick tenderloin of beef thank you very much. Anthony this is whacky. It makes no sense. Aaron it is somewhat bizarre to have scallops and frenchfries. Anthony yeah. Meaderville no longer around . Aaron no, its not. Anthony that went aaron it was swallowed up by the pit. Anthony right. Aaron in the early sixties. Anthony for the first seventy years it was hardrock mining; blasting and digging tunnels deep into the ground. By the 1950s, mining was moving increasingly to above ground. Open pit, which meant fewer jobs and a bigger more visible footprint. By 1955 the berkeley pit had become the largest open pit copper mine in the world. As it expanded it devoured meaderville and the surrounding neighborhoods. There was money down there to be dug out of the ground and thats what butte had always been about from the beginning. In 1983 the pumps that held back the ground water from thousands of miles of tunnels beneath the city were turned off. The pit filled with thirty billion gallons of water. And as mine tailings and mineral refuse contaminated the water it became a giant insanely toxic lake of sulfuric acid. A monument to greed and heedless exploitation of the earth and something eerily, yet, tragically beautiful. If youre still living here, youve got to have some kind of weird perverse pride in the pit. Aaron absolutely anthony i mean, correct me if im wrong. Aaron no, you nailed it. Obviously the pit is an enduring emblem of that rapacious capitalist greed. But you also have people here who are proud of proud of where they live. The history of butte in many ways is you know this town that should have died and but never did. Part of that is luck geographically but also the character of the people here. You know, they endured. Anthony as you might have gathered by now, this is a working class town. And unusual in that its a union town. A proudly union town in an otherwise very red state. Bryant butte is the most interesting, important town in america that nobody knows about. Anthony Bryant Mcgregor is the owner of the Silver Dollar saloon in what was once buttes chinatown. Amanda so we call ourselves butte, america. Anthony Amanda Curtis is a former state congresswoman, was born of the labor movement. Shes a unionist, an advocate for workers and this solidly union city she calls home. Amanda when you got off the boat in ellis island it said butte pinned to your shirt. And it wasnt butte, montana, right . It was butte, america. We were founded by european immigrants who came from socialist countries with all these crazy socialist ideas. Anthony would you say montana in a stereotypical way is fairly, relatively socially conservative . Amanda oh, absolutely but butte is labor town. Bryant nobody knows anything about union history. You know, they dont teach it. When the country was at its peak, unions were at their peak. Wages were at their peak; unions were at their peak. Anthony that was then, this is now. This is the era of ive got mine jack. Amanda thats what makes butte different. Its not ive got mine. Anthony it isnt . Amanda its, its truly not. Anthony why . Amanda union is together. Weve grown this community out of taking care of each other. Anthony you have to remember what it was like here for workers before unions if you can imagine. Men worked underground for as little as three dollars a day, ten to twelve hour shifts six days a week. Thousands died over the years in industrial accidents either underground or from silicosis. Lungs ravaged from the airborne silicate dust. Amanda you dont have any rights in your workplace unless you bond together and have a collective voice. Anthony in a one company town despite hiring assassins and strike breakers, buttes thousands of workers successfully managed to unionize. Labor costs increased while copper prices slumped. Anaconda responded by moving their production increasingly south. Way south. To chile. With such impediments as labor laws and fair wages were more malleable. Amanda we serve as the example of about what happens if you allow unfettered capitalism. Anthony but isnt there something beautiful about unfettered capitalism because look this, this structure here. Amanda oh yeah we powered we powered the entire world. Anthony as long as theyre making that money in the goddamned United States of america first. Amanda right. Anthony i feel that im a patriot but if youre taking jobs away from america to export them overseas. Amanda youre not anthony youre not. Amanda weve been talking about this for decades in this country right . Keep our jobs here. Anthony uhm, yeah people talking for every dollar you spend at a small business, an average of 67 cents stays local. Shop small and watch it add up. Small business saturday by American Express is november 30th. Hes finally here hey how are you . Im good. How are you . Hello grandma for every family going home for the holidays, there are countless people working to help them get there. Thank you to everyone we rely on to get us home to the ones we love. I am totally blind. And non24 can make me show up too early. Or too late. Or make me feel like im not really there. Talk to your doctor, and call 8442342424. Well you remember what happened last year. You cant bring a backup thanksgiving to my sisters house. Its not like were going to walk in with it. Well bring it in as we need it. Phase it in. Phase it in . Yeah, phase it in. Phase it in . Even though i find you so captivating and im done with hesitating lets see where this goes . Save on a gift that says it all. Jared people talking for every dollar you spend at a small business, an average of 67 cents stays local. Shop small and watch it add up. Small business saturday by American Express is november 30th. Jim harrison time sinks slowly to the deepest part of the ocean; the mariana trench. Shes tired of light and there its pure black. Anthony they say that butte is a mile high and a mile deep, and to get an idea of what they mean you got to go down. Down deep into the hill. An intricate warren of tunnels whittled through the rock and soil that lay beneath the city was flooded forever by water and darkness. The Orphan Boy Mine is one of the few remaining hard rock mines in the city. Today it serves as a Training Facility for the montana tech school of mines and engineering. Jim keane theres five generations of mining here. In order to survive and provide the resources for america, these people were super skillful. Anthony jim keane is a state senator and labor advocate who grew up working the mines of butte. How many miles of tunnel under butte total . Jim keane ten ten thousand miles of tunnel. Anthony ten thousand miles jim keane and i figured anthony like this. Larry they are smaller usually. Anthony Larry Hoffman is a longtime mining engineer and instructor. Matt krattiger is the new guy. A hard rock miner by day, he likes to relax by spending his free time down here; playing. Matt i come mining for fun on my days off. Anthony okay matt its one of those things that just gets in your blood. You got a lot of pride in it. Anthony these guys like it under ground and even more they seem to like drilling holes deep into the rock face. [ drilling ] matt you want to drill . Anthony sure. [ drilling ] matt pull that out. Then get the feel for where the weight sets on it. Anthony oh yeah cool. Matt do that several hundred times a day. Anthony no [ laughs ] matt just do it. Anthony sweet jim keane the community recognized the miner was at the top of the food chain. When i grew up, he was considered just like a doctor or lawyer because everybody knew that he was the one making everything work. The other thing about mining is that it is so intensive, i mean you need engineers, guys running ventilation, mechanic or carpenter or a pipefitter. Its just such a diverse asset to have all these different types of people. Thats what was so good about it. Anthony mining was always dangerous, but these men are proud of what they do and of the generations who came before them. Who built neighborhoods and schools and helped power the nation. Jim keane they loved their work. They raised their families. They worked all the time. Anthony it was a destination with hopes and dreams of hard work leading to a better life. Jim keane you know the companys a son of a bitch, lets face it. But they were our son of a bitch. So so you know thats just the way it was. The community worked to support the people. Heres the fun part anthony cool jim keane how many holes do you usually drill to make a round . Matt oh, between twenty and thirty. Anthony what is a round . Matt this pattern has to be drilled out and every time you advance the face; that is a round. You drill it, you load it, you blast it, you muck it, you bolt it, you drill it again. And thats a cycle. Were in the loading process right here. They call collar priming or top priming this hole. Quick, fill away anthony back in the day it was dynamite. But in the sixties, they started switching over to this stuff; anfo Ammonium Nitrate and fuel oil. Matt ok so ive got everything charged up and loaded. Now we get to time it. Matt this is kind of where i got hooked on mining. As soon as i set that first round off it was how do i do another one . Anthony dude, fascinating matt this is where it all starts. Anthony all right. Matt right here. Jim keane everybody got everything out . Four seconds to silence. Anthony all right everybodys good . Everybodys ready . Miners yep, alright. Matt fire in the hole [ explosion ] miners one, two, three. [ explosion ] anthony oh yeah, thats deep. Jim keane welcome to mining. Anthony thats deeply satisfying. Woo hoo hoo jim keane oh yeah. Anthony very cool. Jim keane can we see the smoke . Anthony what does that vent it out . Matt yeah. The smoke will start moving towards us. You got to get in the smoke. Anthony oh yeah. Smells like victory. Jim keane this is the smell of mining. Matt well see if it all worked as planned. Anthony that shock wave was awesome jim keane isnt it . Anthony yeah. Matt this is like being an astronaut right now. When we go in there, you are going to be the first person in the world to see what youre seeing. Alright larry did you break it . Matt yeah anthony nice, huh . happy with your work . Matt im very happy with it. Everything came out just the way it should. Jim keane thats another sixfoot advance. Matt and that is a round. Anthony beautiful thing. Matt yes, it is. Jim keane i fell in love with the dark and the blowing things up and the people and matt the peoples a big thing.

Everywhere. Anthony about onethird of montana is public land. It was setaside for people of the United States of america. Generally speaking, it is intended for multipurpose use; timber harvest, grazing land, hiking, fishing, hunting and mining. These open lands are important to hunters and anglers like dan bailey. Hes the montana representative for pheasants forever, an organization working to conserve pheasants and other wildlife through careful management. Dan bailey so this is a piece of property owned by pheasants forever. Its opened to public access. This is through montanas block management system. We sign in, they collect all the tags. They know whos been on the property. Anthony today, me and my friend joe rogan are going after some delicious pheasant for dinner. Joe rogan yeehaw, ladies and gentleman. Anthony joe is of course the voice of the ufc, and the host of the wildly popular podcast, the joe rogan experience. In recent years, joe has become an advocate for the notion that you should, whenever possible, know where your food comes from. Joe rogan the connection that you have with your food when you kill it yourself, its just a totally different experience. Anthony i believe that if you choose to eat meat that you there should be a little bit of guilt and shame involved. Something did die. So there should be a sense of loss and understanding. Dan bailey right here, this is it. I mean, you know where your food comes from. Thats as small of a circle as you can get. Hey tony, the three things we can hunt here are hungarian partridge, which is a small bird in the big kind of view, sharptailed grouse, and then rooster pheasants. So note no hen pheasants. Ill call out what it is. Anthony yeah, im going to wait for you because i sure as hell wouldnt be able to identify. Dan bailey so well get one person on one side of the draw and one person on the other, and ill run the dogs through the middle. Anthony which way are they going to break do you think . It could be any which way . Dan bailey any which way. Were hoping over us. Dan bailey hen, hen, hen, hen, hen, hen, hen joe rogan what happens if you accidentally shoot a hen . Do you get in trouble . Dan bailey you report yourself. Anthony have you ever heard about the walk of shame . So really you have a split second to determine whether its a shootable thing. Okay well, were counting on you dan bailey thats a rooster anthony i could have shot at that too that was an easy shot. Shit joe rogan yeah one of those days, huh . Dan bailey public lands in montana; were, were fortunate we have a lot of them but you know they get a lot of pressure so uh when you get one of these birds its pretty special. Joe rogan public land hunting is always, always a lot of work. Dan bailey in general anybody and everybody can come out here and chase your birds so. Hey, theres a bunch of birds right there. See them go on through the trees right there . Anthony i saw. Joe rogan a bunch of pheasants just got up. Lets get serious about this. Anthony all right. Dan bailey well take these dogs to the river. Rooster oh nice shot jugger we got to get up on that bank. Joe rogan who got it . Dan Bailey Anthony got it joe rogan nice i missed that one over here. Dan bailey good boy come bring it here. Come. Good boy come on jugger. Nice shot anthony thank you. Dan bailey bring it here. Come on drop. Here you go montana rooster. Good eating anthony alright man. Start plucking anthony with one in the bag, we meet up with the rest of our party to cook and drink and eat. Land tawney is a fifth generation montanan, and active conversationalist. Hal herring is a journalist for field and stream magazine. The pheasant is cooked two ways; marinated in soy and fish sauce, sriracha, and lime browned in butter and buffaloed like chicken wings. Or dredge it in flower and cajun seasonings, sauteed with garlic and brandy, then braised a bit with stock and wild mushrooms. Collard greens and bacon as a side serve as a nice cleanse. Anthony man these greens are good and the birds delicious. Oh yeah man, an amazing day dan bailey eating it today. Joe rogan man, it was a beautiful day. Anthony why should people in new york or San Francisco whove never hunted in what way does your access to Hunting Ground impact on this nation in a positive way . Why should they care . Joe rogan well, its not Hunting Ground, its public ground owned by the people of the United States of america. Hal and i i just see our country its very nuanced and private property is bedrock. But public lands have worked. Anthony but youre talking big governments stepping in and saying were taking all this land and we are going to protect it from exploitation by capitalists. Land public Land Management is not perfect for anybody but its a path forward. Its not happening anywhere else in the world and the reason it came here is because we are such a great country. But as we move into the future, its going to take everybody understanding how unique it is to america. Anthony to say that hunting and conservation are intertwined dan bailey it is an absolute fact anthony it is an absolute fact but it is a really painful admission. That we are the masters of this environment whether we like it or not. Joe rogan as thinking beings we are the only ones in the food chain that understand the consequences of the imbalance and therefore we do have a right to take care of this thing and manage it. When it comes to animals that can alter their environment, were unique. Anthony you know, im not a hunter obviously. Joe rogan we hunted all day today. If you take a shit, youre a shitter. [ laughs ] anthony my daddy didnt take me through the long one. Joe rogan it is what it is. Land you shot that pheasant; were eating that pheasant. Theres no closer connection to food almost than that. Joe rogan i think theres a fundamental misunderstanding by people that dont hunt or people that call themselves animal activists that we dont love the animals as much as they do. And thats just not true. Dan bailey we do what we do because we love mother nature, we love wildlife, we want people to enjoy it. You know the three of us, we decided to spend what we do for a living to protect wildlife and to protect access and to protect hunting heritage. Joe rogan the fellow living beings that live in a very Hard Scrabble life. Theyre howling right now because they just killed something. Whatever it is, they got a hold of something and theyre letting the other coyotes know and they are going to eat it now and that is what they do. Anthony you know if youve ever been out on an open body of water where you are just surrounded by the ocean or or the desert, or here actually for that matter you do begin to understand your place in the universe meaning at the end of the day im not that different from that pheasant i shot today. Hal were all in it together. The elk, and me, and the wolves; what we do to the world we do to ourselves. Were all in it together. Anthony as the evening progresses, the bourbon flows and the fire burns down to coals. A late night vape with joe and earth seems to shift on its axis. Later stumbling out of my tent i find myself somehow no longer vertical; looking up up at a magnificent bewilderment of stars. May your holidays glow bright and all your dreams take flight.

Its also one of my favorites. Originally a railroad town. A place where cattlemen could drink and philander. Then later, a gateway to Yellowstone National park. In the 1960s, the surrounding Paradise Valley was a popular setting for hollywood films, and local ranchers began to see a strange mix of creative types showing up. First to work on films, but later to stay and play cowboy for real. Writers like richard brautigan, tom mcguane, and jim harrison. Actors like peter fonda, warren oates, the notorious director Sam Peckinpah made livingston their home. Anthony the mint bar opened in the 1920s and holds the oldest Liquor License in montana. Railroad workers used to drink here. Everybody drank here. Look at that picture of the bar right there. Dan lahren yeah, that picture is this building during prohibition; it was a grocery store. Anthony my friend, dan lahren, is a jackofalltrades native son. A hunter, fisherman, and a key figure in the life of the town. Anthony i mean this is a rough and tumble railroad, cattleman town, right . Dan lahren yeah. Anthony why did they put a Railroad Stop here . Dan lahren it was x far from minneapolis. Anthony mhm. Dan lahren and x far to seattle, it was kind of middle ground. Seven hundred miles that way, seven hundred miles that way. Anthony right. I mean who would exemplify the qualities that a preponderance of montanans would aspire to . Dan lahren the american indian. The plains indian that lived here before white man because it was a tough, a tough [ censored ] place to live. You know . Anthony whens the last time you walked outside, and you looked at those mountains, and you said, i possibly live in the most awesome place on earth. When was the last time that happened . Dan lahren oh, i do, i never take this place for granted. Okay, its one of the most beautiful places that ive been, and i like to enjoy the outdoors, take my son hunting, you know . Anthony you know that moment when an animal dies, they look at you, and theres a look in their face. I always interpret as, im very disappointed in you. Dan lahren yeah, well as an older hunter im feeling more and more remorse for the animals that i kill, and thats, thats why i use every part of the animal that i can. I have respect for that creature. Anthony i always felt like look, whatever this thing i shot i will treat it the way i would like to be treated. I mean if youre gonna shoot me dan lahren yes. Anthony please just dont leave me there. Dan lahren yeah, dont just rip my breasts out and throw my unpredictable crohns symptoms following you . For adults with moderately to severely active crohns disease, stelara® works differently. Studies showed relief and remission, with dosing every 8 weeks. Stelara® may lower your ability to fight infections and may increase your risk of infections and cancer. Some serious infections require hospitalization. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or flulike symptoms or sores, have had cancer, or develop new skin growths, or if anyone in your house needs or recently had a vaccine. Alert your doctor of new or worsening problems, including headaches, seizures, confusion and vision problems. These may be signs of a rare, potentially fatal brain condition.
