1:20trash, was, pulled, from, passed, the, test

1:23but, in, 2023, after, an, irregularly, rainy

1:25year, that, led, to, a, muddy, mess, of, a

1:27festival, Burning, Man, barely, passed, their

1:36passed, that, threshold, their, permit, for

1:382024, very, well, might, not, have, been

1:41granted, but, far, more, notable, than, the

1:43festivals, near, Miss, is, the, scale, of, the

1:45agency, tasked, with, regulating, this

1:47temporary, world, famous, 80,000, person

1:50City, the, Black, Rock, Desert, is, part, of

1:52the, blm's, wiuka, district, headquartered

1:54here, in, this, single, story, office

1:56building, in, winnima, Nevada, the, district

1:58then, has, this, and, facility, in, gerlock

2:01Nevada, far, closer, to, the, Black, Rock

2:03Desert, but, that's, it, that's, the, entire

2:06physical, presence, of, the, District, of, the

2:07agency, tasked, not, only, with, overseeing

2:09burning, man, but, 8.2, million, acres, of

2:12land, more, than, the, entirety, of, Qatar, and

2:16a, collection, that, adds, up, to, 75%, of, the

2:18entire, land, mass, within, the, winam, Mona

2:21District, how, such, a, small, and, obscure

2:23government, agency, ended, up, with, this

2:25colossal, task, is, remarkably

2:27straightforward, to, explain, when, when, the

2:30United, States, conquered, and, settled, the

2:31West, all, the, land, was, originally, owned

2:34by, the, federal, government, at, least

2:35according, to, the, federal, government, this

2:37land, was, then, allocated, out, to, different

2:39owners, and, users, for, example, this, trun

2:42of, Nevada, near, the, Black, Rock, Desert, was

2:43earmarked, as, the, best, route, for, the

2:45first, Transcontinental, Railroad, due, to

2:47its, comparatively, tamame, geography, so

2:49the, federal, government, incentivized, the

2:51Central, Pacific, Railroad, Company, to

2:53actually, build, the, rails, by, giving, it

2:54every, other, square, mile, of, land, in, a

2:56band, around, the, track, the, thought, was

2:58that, they'd, eventually, be, able, able, to

3:00sell, much, of, that, land, which, would

3:01become, more, valuable, with, the

3:02construction, of, the, railroad, so, today

3:05more, than, a, century, on, these, tracks, are

3:07held, by, various, private, land, owners

3:09private, land, ownership, was, also

3:10established, here, in, the, town, of, Fallon

3:12this, area, started, as, a, ranch, owned, by

3:14Mike, and, Alisa, Fallon, they, likely

3:16claimed, the, land, through, the, rights

3:17established, by, the, Homestead, Acts, which

3:19effectively, allowed, settlers, to, get, up

3:21to, 160, acres, of, land, in, these, Western

3:23States, for, a, nominal, fee, as, long, as, they

3:25cultivated, and, lived, on, it, for, 6, months

3:28eventually, Mike, and, Alisa, Fallon, heard

3:29rumor, of, an, upcoming, project, by, the

3:31newly, formed, Bureau, of, Reclamation, to

3:33build, the, irrigation, infrastructure, to

3:35allow, for, farming, in, this, dry, desert

3:37region, and, they, therefore, sold, their

3:38Ranch, to, a, land, developer, who, leveraged

3:40the, speculation, to, split, it, into, smaller

3:42chunks, and, sell, to, new, arrivals, thereby

3:44forming, the, town, a, Fallon, that, Bureau, of

3:47Reclamation, project, did, eventually

3:49happen, and, as, part, of, it, the, agency, was

3:51given, ownership, of, this, land, around, the

3:53Farmland, rivers, and, relevant, pieces, of

3:55infrastructure, although, simultaneously

3:57the, very, waterways, that, the, Bureau, of

3:59Reclamation, were, manipulating, were

4:00identified, as, crucial, habitats, for

4:02migratory, birds, so, the, US, fish, and

4:04wildlife, service, was, given, these, two

4:06portions, of, land, to, turn, into, the, Fallon

4:08and, Stillwater, National, Wildlife, refuges

4:10assuring, that, they'd, remain, undisturbed

4:12for, the, Wildlife, with, World, War, II, the

4:14Fallon, Naval, Air, Station, was, built, so

4:17this, land, was, handed, over, to, the

4:18Department, of, Defense, and, it, also, got

4:20these, tracks, to, turn, into, the, Fallon

4:22range, training, complex, essentially, empty

4:24areas, of, the, desert, where, Pilots, can

4:26train, using, actual, live, weapons, then

4:28finally, this, area, near, town, was

4:30transferred, to, the, Bureau, of, Indian

4:31Affairs, to, be, held, in, trust, on, behalf, of

4:33the, Fallen, pyute, shishoni, reservation

4:35and, that, was, the, extent, of, land

4:38allocation, but, all, this, was, still, left

4:41so, that's, to, say, if, land, wasn't, valuable

4:43enough, for, settlers, to, want, it, if, it

4:45wasn't, important, enough, as, habitat, for

4:47the, fish, and, wildlife, service, to, want, it

4:49if, it, wasn't, notable, enough, for, the

4:50National, Park, Service, to, want, it, if, the

4:52dod, nor, the, Bureau, of, wck, nor, the, forest

4:54service, nor, the, Bureau, of, Indian, Affairs

4:56wanted, it, that's, when, the, Bureau, of, Land

4:59Management, got, land, the, BLM, manages

5:02what's, left, this, land, has, therefore, been

5:04judged, through, the, process, of, land

5:06allocation, as, America's, worst, land, that

5:10of, least, utility, to, both, humans, and

5:13animals, but, even, if, it, is, America's, most

5:16useless, land, that, doesn't, mean, it's

5:19useless, as, the, American, West, has

5:21developed, and, grown, in, population, humans

5:23and, animals, have, found, plenty, of, use, for

5:25the, land, the, BLM, manages, but

5:27simultaneously, BLM, land, is, the, least

5:30regulated, public, land, in, America, if, you

5:33want, to, camp, on, it, you, can, for, free

5:35effectively, anywhere, for, up, to, 14, days

5:38if, you, want, to, collect, rocks, and, fossils

5:40and, take, them, home, you, can, for, free, as

5:43long, as, you're, not, selling, them, if, you

5:44want, to, let, your, cattle, out, to, graze, or

5:46build, an, electric, transmission, line, or, a

5:48coal, mine, or, an, oil, rig, on, BLM, land, you

5:51probably, can, after, some, permitting, and

5:54if, you, want, to, set, up, a, temporary, city

5:55of, 880,000, on, a, conserved, ancient, lake

5:58bed, in, the, middle, of, nowhere, well, well

5:59you, can, do, that, too, but, because, burning

6:02man, takes, two, diametrically, opposed, land

6:04use, Concepts, conserved, nature, and

6:06bustling, City, and, merges, them, year, in

6:08year, out, there's, a, lot, of, Hoops, to, jump

6:10through, not, long, after, the, trash, samples

6:12are, taken, the, process, of, organizing, the

6:15next, year's, Burning, Man, begins, a, new

6:16with, the, postevent, Cooperators, meeting

6:19the, title's, APT, while, it's, the, blm's

6:21land, and, therefore, the, blm's, rules

6:23building, a, city, then, disappearing, it, is

6:25a, Monumental, lift, that's, overseen, by, the

6:28federal, bureau, with, the, assistance, of

6:30County, officials, but, undertaken, almost

6:32exclusively, by, the, burningman, project

6:34the, festival's, official, operator, and, its

6:35Army, of, volunteers, and, staff, out, of, this

6:38Cooperators, meeting, between, land

6:40managers, and, land, users, comes, a, document

6:42like, this, the, additional, stipulations

6:44lists, a, list, of, new, rules, that, are

6:46layered, on, top, of, what's, established, in

6:48this, the

6:4929302, special, Recreation, permit, and, of

6:52course, this, permit, in, turn, is, informed

6:55by, the, findings, of, this, environmental

6:56impact, statement, initiated, in, 2017, and

6:59completed, in, 2019, by, the, BLM, that, runs

7:01hundreds, of, pages, and, multiple, volumes

7:04taken, together, just, getting, the

7:06paperwork, in, order, for, this, is, a, bear

7:09then, there's, upholding, the, rules

7:10outlined, in, the, paperwork, and, for, this

7:12the, BLM, calls, for, backup, as, a, Federal

7:14Land, Management, agency, the, BLM, does, have

7:17a, policing, arm, the, BLM, law, enforcement

7:19Rangers, but, there's, only, 200, of, them

7:21Nationwide, and, only, two, in, this

7:24particular, region, of, remote, Nevada, so, to

7:26staff, Burning, Man, where, in, more, recent

7:28years, they've, called, for, more, than, a

7:29third, of, the, force, to, be, present, they, go

7:31National, bringing, in, Rangers, from

7:33Wyoming, California, and, Colorado, many, of

7:36whom, become, annual, fixtures, at, the, event

7:39still, that's, not, quite, enough, so, the, BLM

7:41also, partners, with, Nevada, Highway, Patrol

7:43and, the, Persian, County, Sheriff's, Office

7:45to, toll, out, citations, tickets, and, make

7:47the, occasional, arrest, but, the

7:49multifaceted, Bureau, does, more, than, just

7:52police, each, year, for, instance, among, the

7:54thousands, of, extravagant, setups, there's

7:56this, humble, tent, called, the, interp, camp

7:59where, employed, Specialists, can, monitor

8:00air, quality, and, public, facing, Recreation

8:02and, visitor, service, staff, set, up, tables

8:04and, posters, to, inform, the, public, on, the

8:06geological, and, cultural, history, of, the

8:08landscape, upon, which, they're, standing, at

8:10the, end, of, the, festival, the, BLM, again

8:12appears, in, another, capacity, as, now, it's

8:14BLM, officials, training, and, overseeing

8:16volunteers, on, how, to, properly, take, trash

8:18samples, while, heavily, Cooperative, from

8:20paperwork, to, litter, picking, and, law

8:22enforcement, the, BM, is, there, every, step

8:24of, the, way, while, intuitive, as, it, is, the

8:27land, they, maintain, it's, a, Monumental

8:30undertaking, for, a, regional, office, that

8:32as, recently, as, 2022, only, had, five

8:35specialist, employees, but, the, BLM, doesn't

8:37have, much, of, a, choice, in, the, matter, to

8:39begin, with, with, the, nearly, $3, million, in

8:41annual, fees, for, the, event, covers, the

8:43cost, the, BLM, allows, this, use, for, a, more

8:46fundamental, reason, because, it, has, to, see

8:49all, of, this, Black, Rock, Desert, land

8:51became, conservation, land, in, 2000, with

8:53this, legislation, but, the, rules, on, access

8:55and, use, well, they're, a, little, light, on

8:57detail, essentially, it, can, be, used, if

9:00it's, not, damaged, too, much, for, future, use

9:02and, it, can, host, large, permanent, events

9:04as, long, as, it, doesn't, offend, the

9:05management, plan, or, the, management, Act, of

9:071976, but, this, management, act, which, has

9:10come, to, guide, how, the, BLM, operates, today

9:13is, also, largely, up, to, interpretation, as

9:15it, declares, that, public, land, is, to, be

9:17managed, on, for, the, basis, of, multiple, use

9:19and, sustained, yield, the, land, is, to, be

9:21protected, for, future, Generations, while

9:23it, is, also, to, be, used, for, the, Public's

9:25benefit, in, the, present, it's, rather, vague

9:28it's, rather, contradictory, and, it's, made

9:30room, for, cities, on, conservation, land, and

9:32a, whole, host, of, other, odd, outgrowths, and

9:36when, you, combine, that, vague, mandate, with

9:38a, Congress, and, executive, branch, that

9:39needs, someone, to, follow, through, on, their

9:41acts, and, orders, the, BLM, ends, up, with, a

9:43dizzying, array, of, often, contradictory

9:46tasks, for, example, in, 1971, Congress

9:49addressed, long, running, concerns, by, a

9:50subset, of, Animal, Welfare, Advocates, and

9:52passed, the, wild, and, free, roaming, horse

9:54and, Burrows, act, the, name, is, a, bit, of, a

9:57misnomer, as, Horses, and, Burrows, are, both

9:59mated, animals, meaning, they, can't, truly

10:01be, wild, but, through, the, years, plenty, of

10:03horses, and, Burrows, had, escaped, or, been

10:04freed, and, now, roamed, across, the, West

10:07multiplying, in, population, at, a, pest

10:09likee, rate, ranchers, hated, this, as, the

10:12horses, were, ferocious, grazers, that

10:14quickly, depleted, the, land, that, would

10:15otherwise, sustain, their, cattle, but, the

10:17ACT, declared, them, quote, Living, symbols

10:19of, the, historic, and, Pioneer, Spirit, of

10:21the, West, and, therefore, the, BLM, was

10:23tasked, with, protecting, them, often, from

10:25ranchers, to, do, so, they, established, 270

10:28herd, Management, areas, where, a, trunch, of

10:31federal, land, is, managed, specifically, for

10:33the, benefit, of, these, horses, and, Burrows

10:35in, addition, they, determined, that, the

10:36sustainable, Nationwide, population, of

10:38wild, horses, and, Burrows, was

10:4026,6, 190, so, the, BLM, is, tasked, with

10:43keeping, the, population, as, close, to, this

10:44as, possible, which, is, near, impossible

10:46with, the, tools, at, the, bureau's, disposal

10:48evidenced, by, the, fact, that, the, current

10:50population, is, over, 880,000, they're, not

10:52allowed, to, kill, the, horses, so, when, a

10:54given, herd, is, overpopulated, they, use, a

10:56helicopter, to, Coral, them, into, a, trap

10:59from, there, some, horses, receive, birth

11:01control, to, limit, population, growth, While

11:03others, are, taken, to, off-range, pastures

11:05many, of, these, off-range, pastures, are

11:07near, prisons, that, have, programs, where

11:08inmates, train, the, horses, so, that, they

11:10can, eventually, be, adopted, and, live, the

11:11rest, of, their, lives, as, a, non-, wild, horse

11:14but, that's, just, the, start, of, a, near

11:16endless, list, of, BLM, tasks, for, example

11:19they're, also, responsible, for, protecting

11:2120,000, rocks, in, California, the, federal

11:24government, formed, the, California, Coastal

11:26National, Monument, which, primarily

11:28protects, not, the, land, on, the, coast, but

11:31the, isets, reefs, and, rock, outcroppings

11:33just, off, the, coast, and, it's, the, blm's

11:35job, to, run, that, National, Monument, the

11:38BLM, is, also, supposed, to, make, about

11:4050,000, Old, Mines, safe, mines, were, poorly

11:43documented, and, quickly, abandoned, during

11:45the, Gold, Rush, era, leaving, them, dotted

11:47across, the, West, without, nearly, the

11:49standards, of, the, mines, that, close, today

11:51the, risks, are, Myriad, one, can, fall, in, a

11:53Min, shaft, get, crushed, in, a, cave, in

11:55accidentally, detonate, an, old, explosive

11:57breathe, in, deadly, gases, suffocate, from, a

11:59la, of, oxygen, get, lost, while, exploring, or

12:01just, walk, across, unstable, land, above

12:03that, caves, in, and, these, aren't

12:04theoretical, threats, as, dozens, of, people

12:06die, due, to, them, each, year, so, the, BLM, is

12:09tasked, with, preventing, that, as, much, as

12:11possible, by, fixing, up, these, old, mines

12:14Congress, also, told, the, BLM, to, figure, out

12:16a, bunch, of, good, routes, for, electric

12:18lines, and, pipelines, they, did, this, was

12:21the, answer, the, blm's, also, not, super, sure

12:23exactly, where, all, its, own, land, is

12:25especially, in, Alaska, so, Congress, told

12:27them, to, figure, it, out, so, they, go, around

12:29and, Survey, land, pretty, regularly, BLM

12:31land, also, catches, on, fire, a, lot, so, the

12:33agency, runs, its, own, 3,000, person, fire

12:35department, including, an, aviation

12:37division, owning, and, operating, almost, a

12:39100, aircraft, but, beyond, the, endless

12:42array, of, tiny, yet, crucial, programs, the

12:44core, task, of, the, BLM, really, is, managing

12:47whatever, people, want, to, do, with, their

12:49land, if, people, want, to, recreate, on, BLM

12:51land, the, BLM, needs, to, figure, out, how, to

12:53do, it, in, a, generally, sustainable, way, for

12:56example, a, lot, of, people, believe, that

12:57this, spot, is, where, the, Fed, Roswell, UFO

13:00crash, happened, and, happens, to, be, on, BLM

13:02land, so, the, BLM, had, to, construct, a

13:04parking, area, and, trail, to, mitigate

13:05potential, damage, by, an, influx, of

13:07visitors, this, process, occurs, constantly

13:09users, find, a, way, to, have, fun, on, BLM, land

13:12and, the, BLM, rolls, out, regulations, and

13:13develop, sites, with, the, infrastructure

13:15needed, to, make, that, Recreation

13:16sustainable, if, others, want, to, use, BLM

13:19land, to, mine, coal, for, example, the, BLM

13:21also, has, to, manage, and, regulate, that, in

13:24fact, the, BLM, manages, almost, the, entirety

13:27of, the, federal, government's, mineral

13:28rights, which, are, are, enormous, you, see

13:30not, only, is, the, BLM, responsible, for, oil

13:33and, gas, leasing, on, all, federal, land

13:35meaning, they, even, handle, leasing, on

13:36Forest, Service, land, for, example, but, the

13:38agency, also, handles, so-called, split

13:40Estates, when, the, federal, government

13:42allocated, land, in, the, west, much, of, it

13:44was, under, the, stipulation, that, the

13:45federal, government, would, still, own, the

13:47subsurface, mineral, rights, so, that, means

13:49almost, 30%, of, the, US's, land, mass, is

13:52administered, by, the, BLM, for, the, purposes

13:54of, subsurface, minerals, of, course, this

13:56puts, the, BLM, in, the, center, of, a, near

13:58endless, controversy, over, oil, gas, and

14:01mine, leasing, on, Federal, Land, but, the, BLM

14:04is, used, to, controversy, as, from, the, very

14:06beginning, it's, been, tasked, with, solving

14:08the, tragedy, of, the, commons, quite

14:10literally, many, of, the, first, Americans, to

14:13settle, the, West, were, ranchers, raising

14:15cattle, sheep, and, other, livestock, through

14:17open, grazing, as, in, animals, being, let

14:19loose, on, unused, federal, land, and, allowed

14:21to, eat, whatever, wild, plants, they, want

14:23this, was, entirely, allowed, but, eventually

14:25as, more, and, more, ranchers, moved, into, the

14:27West, Land, got, overg, grazed, and, cattle

14:29populations, collapsed, as, there, was, not

14:31enough, forage, to, sustain, them, so, in, the

14:331930s, Congress, passed, the, tailor, grazing

14:35act, that, started, to, regulate, ranching, on

14:37Federal, Land, through, the, establishment

14:39of, the, grazing, service, which, eventually

14:41merged, with, the, general, land, office, to

14:43become, the, Bureau, of, Land

14:45Management, these, days, the, BLM

14:47administers, 18,000, permits, for, livestock

14:50raising, these, are, granted, to, Ranchers

14:52with, a, valid, socalled, base, property, near

14:54BLM, land, and, as, a, condition, of, their

14:56permit, ranchers, must, pay, a, fee, of, $1.35

14:59C, per, animal, unit, month, which, basically

15:01means, they, pay, $1.35, per, month, for, the

15:04amount, of, forage, it, take, to, sustain, one

15:06horse, this, is, lower, than, the, grazing, fee

15:09was, all, the, way, back, in, 1981, even

15:12ignoring, inflation, back, then, it, was

15:16$231, it's, also, well, well, below, the, free

15:19market, price, for, grazing, estimated, at

15:21around, $23, on, private, land, that, means

15:24the, permits, for, BLM, grazing, are

15:27incredibly, valuable, much, like, water

15:29rights, property, in, the, west, will, sell, at

15:31hugely, inflated, prices, if, it, includes

15:33grazing, rights, and, any, threat, to, the

15:35ability, to, graze, on, Federal, Land, is

15:37therefore, treated, as

15:39existential, this, assumed, existential

15:42threat, reached, fever, pitch, in, 2016, when

15:44a, group, of, radical, right-wing, ranchers

15:46stormed, and, occupied, the, headquarters, of

15:48the, US, fish, and, wildlife's, maler

15:50National, Wildlife, Refuge, for, 40, days, a

15:53standoff, which, resulted, in, a, death, and

15:55ultimately, 27, federal, indictments, and, it

15:58was, all, at, the, of, a, dispute, some, Century

16:00in, the, making, all, this, The, malher, Refuge

16:04has, been, a, federally, protected, bird

16:06sanctuary, since, 1908, when, this, slice, of

16:08land, between, the, Refuge, and, BLM, land, has

16:11been, the, hammonded, homestead, Ranch, since

16:13the, 1870s, for, while, these, parties

16:15coexisted, relatively, peacefully, in, part

16:18because, no, one, really, made, a, fuss, if

16:20hammonded, cattle, made, their, way, onto

16:22Refuge, land, to, Graves, but, that, changed

16:24in, 1994, when, fish, and, wildlife, managers

16:26wanted, to, build, a, fence, to, better

16:28protect, the, Paran, ecosystem, that, for, so

16:30long, had, been, overgrazed, suddenly, what

16:33one, party, saw, as, a, privilege, and, the

16:34other, saw, as, a, right, was, being, taken

16:36away, from, the, Hammonds, seen, as, a, direct

16:39affront, to, his, way, of, life, and, trampling

16:41of, his, rights, the, ranches, patriarch

16:43Dwight, Hammond, escalated, the, dispute, by

16:45issuing, death, threats, towards, the

16:46federal, employees, then, he, and, his, son

16:49physically, held, up, fence, construction, by

16:50parking, heavy, machinery, in, the, fence's

16:52path, and, refusing, to, back, down, the, two

16:55were, arrested, but, Dwight, and, his, son, had

16:58sparked, a, large, movement, now, their

17:00neighbors, and, allies, in, Burns, Oregon

17:02posted, signs, and, businesses, that, they

17:03wouldn't, serve, federal, agents, while

17:05their, District, representative, protested

17:07the, arrest, of, the, Department, of, the

17:08interior, and, President, Clinton, to, this

17:11group, their, use, of, the, overlooked, off

17:13forgotten, ever, so, lightly, policed

17:15grazing, land, of, the, West, was

17:16functionally, theirs, and, now, feds, were

17:19trying, to, take, it, away, after, their

17:22release, the, Hammons, didn't, back, down, in

17:2499, they, set, a, fire, to, burn, off, Refuge

17:27that, then, spilled, onto, BLM, land, and

17:29incurring, fees, and, federal, IR, they, did

17:31it, again, in, 2001, allegedly, to, conceal

17:34proof, of, illegal, deer, hunting, then, to

17:36protect, their, own, property, during, a

17:38larger, wildfire, in, 2006, they, started

17:40their, own, back, burs, to, limit, the

17:42oncoming, Fire's, fuel, which, nearly

17:43trapped, BLM, firefighters, between, two

17:46blazes, these, moves, led, to, charges, of

17:48arson, and, after, a, lengthy, legal, battle

17:51the, story, began, to, spread, across, the

17:52rest, of, the, ranching, West, where, it

17:54reached, one, Ammon, Bundy, in, Arizona, who

17:56set, in, motion, the, Takeover, of, the, Refuge

18:0020, BLM, official, the, name, was, notable, as

18:02the, Bundy, Family, 2, has, a, long, history, of

18:05high-profile, disagreements, with, Federal

18:07Managers, Cliven, ammon's, father, had

18:09refused, to, sell, his, grazing, permits, back

18:11to, the, federal, government, in, 1993, as

18:13part, of, a, larger, land, swap, deal, to

18:15protect, a, newly, designated, endangered

18:17species, the, desert, tortoise, in, southern

18:20Nevada, in, a, further, Act, of, defiance, he

18:22decided, to, no, longer, renew, his, grazing

18:24fees, eventually, racking, up, more, than, a

18:26million, dollars, worth, of, unpaid, fees

18:28when, the, BLM, finally, moved, to, capture

18:30and, impound, all, the, trespassing, cattle, a

18:32standoff, commenced, with, armed, militia

18:34members, squaring, off, against, over, 100

18:36Federal, officials, including, 24, BLM

18:39Enforcement, Officers, before, the, BLM

18:40ultimately, relented, and, returned, the

18:42cattle, in, an, act, of, deescalation, of

18:45course, such, standoffs, are, exceedingly

18:47rare, but, heated, intense, disagreements

18:49over, exactly, what, should, be, happening, on

18:51BLM, land, is, anything, but, Fringe

18:54anti-federal, militarized, ranchers, are

18:57only, one, party, that, feels, grieved, by

18:59federal, land, managers, entire, States, take

19:02issue, when, the, federal, government, Alters

19:04policy, and, designation, as, Utah, did, when

19:06the, Clinton, Administration, designated

19:08the, grand, staircase, Escalante, National

19:10Monument, which, styed, the, state's

19:12development, of, lands, and, roads, in, the

19:13region, a, coalition, of, ranchers

19:15recreators, and, environmentalists

19:17boisterously, lobbied, against, oil, and, gas

19:19development, along, Western, Colorado's

19:21Thompson, divide, until, the, BM, and, Forest

19:23Service, finally, relented, in, 2020, when

19:26the, Trump, Administration, moved, BLM

19:27headquarters, from, DC, DC, to, practically

19:29the, opposite, of, DC, in, Grand, Junction

19:31Colorado, certain, land, users, primarily

19:34weary, ranchers, and, opportunistic, oil, and

19:36gas, developers, celebrated, while

19:38environmentalists, and, recreators

19:39complained, at, every, turn, the, BLM, tasked

19:43with, pleasing, so, many, inevitably

19:45disappoints, turning, one, of, the, sleepiest

19:47and, most, obscure, federal, agencies, into

19:50one, of, the, nation's, most

19:52controversial, the, issue, seems, to, be, that

19:54the, BLM, doesn't, have, a, thing, DOD, land

19:57for, example, is, very, clearly, for, the, use

19:59of, the, military, this, is, undoubtedly

20:01controversial, especially, in, places, like

20:03Hawaii, where, it, takes, up, such, a, huge

20:05chunk, of, the, landmass, but, it's, not, like

20:06the, public, has, any, realistic, shot, of

20:08getting, in, the, way, of, whatever, the, US

20:10military, wants, to, do, National, Park

20:12Service, land, on, the, other, hand, is, very

20:14clearly, for, the, Dual, purposes, of

20:16conservation, and, Recreation, many, of, it

20:18serves, as, national, parks, themselves, it's

20:20no, surprise, that, the, agency, that, manages

20:22globally, known, destinations, like

20:24Yellowstone, and, Yus, is, popular, and, well

20:27supported, by, the, public, in, fact, in, fact

20:28in, a, Pew, research, poll, about, public

20:30sentiment, regarding, 16, of, the, best, known

20:32federal, agencies, The, NPS, was, the, most

20:35popular, 76%, had, a, favorable, view, of, it

20:39only, 7%, a, negative, one, the, Lesser, known

20:42fish, and, wildlife, service, seems, to, steer

20:43clear, of, controversy, because, its, mandate

20:46is, very, clearly, one, of, conservation, for

20:47the, sake, of, animals, not, humans, it's, not

20:50completely, loved, in, fact, right, now, it's

20:52reached, headlines, due, to, its, dispute

20:54with, Elon, Musk, SpaceX, whose, Starbase, is

20:56adjacent, to, their, conservation, land, but

20:58Wildlife, Conservation, is, broadly, popular

21:01and, therefore, so, is, the, agency, the

21:03forest, service, mandate, is, perhaps

21:05closest, to, the, BLM, as, its, task, with

21:07simultaneous, management, of, resource

21:09exploitation, Recreation, management, and

21:11conservation, but, forestry, which, is, the

21:14core, of, forest, service, resource, use, can

21:16be, much, more, compatible, with

21:17conservation, goals, it, also, helps, that

21:19its, land, is, conspicuously, used, for

21:21America's, most, popular, ski, resorts, and

21:23it's, the, agency, behind, Smoky, bear, the

21:25forest, service, has, entered, public

21:27Consciousness, as, something, to, be, revered

21:29and, supported, the, BLM, meanwhile, is

21:33unloved, ranchers, complain, it's, not

21:35protecting, their, rights, enough

21:37recreators, complain, it's, favoring

21:38ranching, and, resource, use, oil, and, gas

21:40complain, it's, straying, from, its, original

21:41intention, and, morphing, into, a

21:43conservation, and, Recreation, focused

21:45agency, the, problem, really, is, that, the

21:47BLM, is, supposed, to, please, everyone, and

21:50the, only, way, to, do, that, with, land, where

21:52uses, are, mutually, exclusive, is, to

21:54disappoint, everyone, the, BLM, has, no, real

21:58Coalition, behind, it, it's, them, versus

22:01everyone, so, they're, underresourced, and

22:04underappreciated, America's, worst, land, is

22:07great, for, what, it's, not, the, American

22:09West, is, defined, by, its, emptiness, yet, the

22:12agency, tasked, with, managing, that

22:14emptiness, is, perpetually, pulled, apart, at

22:17its, rather, weak

22:19seams, I'm, really, glad, you, made, it, to, the

22:21end, of, this, video, because, this, topic, is

22:23one, that, matters, a, lot, to, me, and, I, think

22:26it, goes, under, discussed, I, after, all, live

22:28live, in, Colorado, in, an, area, with, a, ton

22:30of, BLM, land, and, rarely, a, day, goes, by

22:32that, I, don't, end, up, on, some, of, it, the

22:35Inter, Mountain, West, is, a, pretty, unique

22:36region, there, really, are, not, a, lot, of

22:38equivalents, to, it, in, the, english-

22:40speaking, world, so, it, does, have, a, fairly

22:42distinct, set, of, challenges, as, the, least

22:44populated, area, of, America, I, think, a, lot

22:46of, these, challenges, go, under, reported, in

22:48National, media, so, I, find, it, particularly

22:50interesting, and, important, to, make, videos

22:51about, these, issues, and, one, issue, in

22:54particular, was, so, significant, that, I

22:56thought, it, merited, more, than, a, video, 40

22:59million, people, in, this, region, rely

23:01almost, exclusively, on, the, water, that, one

23:03River, the, Colorado, River, provides, Las

23:06Vegas, Phoenix, many, of, the, fastest

23:08growing, areas, in, America, simply, could

23:11not, exist, without, it, yet, people, have

23:13been, legally, guaranteed, more, water

23:15through, water, rights, than, the, river

23:17actually, carries, Downstream, in, an

23:19average, year, so, over, much, of, the, past, 20

23:21years, the, massive, reservoirs, sitting

23:23behind, the, Hoover, and, Glen, Canyon, dams

23:25have, been, getting, lower, and, lower, and

23:27lower, it's, a, pretty, existential

23:29situation, for, this, entire, region, so, I

23:32thought, I, merited, a, whole, documentary

23:33about, it, which, myself, and, my, team, made

23:35with, funding, provided, by, nebula, and, this

23:38dock, the, Colorado, problem, is, just, a, tiny

23:41bit, of, the, topnotch, original, content, on

23:43nebula, in, fact, earlier, this, year, we

23:45filmed, in, the, same, region, again, for, the

23:47getaway, a, competition, show, that, we, told

23:49the, contestants, was, a, simple, elimination

23:51style, thing, where, they, had, to, root, out

23:52the, sabur, among, them, but, in, actuality, we

23:55told, all, of, them, they, were, the, savur

23:57which, as, you, can, imagine, led, to, chaos

24:00there's, also, modern, conflicts, by, real

24:01life, Flor, covering, the, most

24:02consequential, conflicts, of, recent, times

24:04in, intricate, detail, WTF, USA, by, tldr, news

24:08covering, the, current, US, election, week, by
