1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: It's that time time time time. 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 2: Luck and look. 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: For Michael Verie show is on the air. 4 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 3: John Mount runs High Intivation in Birmingham, Alabama, and he's responsible. 5 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 3: I think we have seven affiliates now in Alabama, and 6 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 3: he's responsible for getting us an incredible number of listeners 7 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 3: in Alabama. And it's one of my favorite places to 8 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 3: visit when I visit stations because the people of Alabama. 9 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 3: My wife laughs, because we go to events there. People 10 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 3: will bring a pie from that they've made at home 11 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 3: and bring it for us. They'll bring things that their 12 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 3: family barbecue that their family makes because they're very proud 13 00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 3: of their barbecue, and they're just such gracious people. They 14 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 3: are truly the kindest people in the world. And I 15 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 3: know that there is in the national media that all 16 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 3: comes out of New York. There is this idea that, 17 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 3: you know, people from New York are very New York City. 18 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 3: I like to upstate New Yorkers, don't get me wrong, 19 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 3: but New York City. That there is the idea that 20 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 3: these are the sophisticated people, and these are the best people, 21 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 3: and they're smarter than everyone else, and that people in 22 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 3: Mississippi and Alabama and Louisiana and Texas. They're not very 23 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 3: smart Georgia, but I got to tell you, they're the kindest, sweetest, 24 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 3: most ingenious people. And if you want to see pure 25 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 3: brain power, let me tell you something. These redneck rocket scientists. 26 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 3: I had them on the air, These guys in Huntsville 27 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 3: with NASA. These guys have multiple PhDs in quantum physics. 28 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: They're just brilliant. But I love the people of Alabama 29 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 3: and it's some of my favorite people. I get emails 30 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 3: every day from people listening in Alabama, and there's some 31 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 3: of the most wonderful people in the world. And I 32 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 3: feel like I should lead the charge Ramon or Alabama appreciation. 33 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: Across the Yes. Now, I will tell you I'm being 34 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: completely honest. 35 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 3: I also feel that way about Arkansas, in Kentucky and Tennessee, 36 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 3: but we're focused on by Ulabatry Alabama. 37 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: Right now. 38 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 3: You were talking about banks lending money to these foreign fisheries, 39 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 3: American banks that are funded and backed up by American taxpayers, 40 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 3: and they give this money to these foreign operations to 41 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 3: then bring their product back and compete against you cheaper 42 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: because the labor is cheaper, and people are selling out 43 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,839 Speaker 3: their fellow Americans, and they'll say things like, well, it's 44 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 3: only business. Business is business is a tough decisions? No, 45 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 3: these are decisions you make that you have to live 46 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 3: with and you should be called to account to have 47 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 3: to live with them because there are real consequences. You've 48 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 3: chosen to do X instead of why because it helped you, 49 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 3: because you didn't really believe in what was right. Doing 50 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 3: the right thing is harder than doing what is immediately advantageous, 51 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 3: isn't it. 52 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: And that's what people have to remember. Tammy Hall is our. 53 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 3: Guest Seaharvestfreshshrimp dot Net. She is a multi generation shrip 54 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 3: industry family fishing and shrimp. Do you get the sense 55 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 3: that with these tariffs that there is a market? Do 56 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 3: you have bandwidth? Do you have capacity to bring in 57 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 3: more shrimp? Could that be something so you don't have 58 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 3: to just be limited to sell retail. You could sell 59 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 3: to wholesalers and really expand your operation. 60 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 4: I think I know we could. I know that, and 61 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 4: we're the secret Valuelabtry is the seafood capital of Alabama. So, 62 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 4: going back to what I was saying earlier, it's been 63 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 4: a breakdown over the years, and I know it's hard 64 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 4: to explain it, but these imports have been dumped into 65 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 4: our country year after year after year, and over those years, 66 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,119 Speaker 4: let's just say in my lifetime. Okay, let's go back 67 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 4: to what let's say the seventies, all right, the shrimp 68 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 4: boats were being built. The shrimp and industry was good. 69 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 4: We and when I say we, I mean the Gulf 70 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 4: Coast shrimpers. I know you've got the East Coast and 71 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 4: everything as well, but we on the Gulf Coast were thriving. 72 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 4: We were a thriving community. But over the years, these 73 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 4: foreign shrips have been coming in. Okay, it's affected our 74 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 4: market big time. And by that I have seen so 75 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 4: many people have to get out of the business. They 76 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 4: didn't have a choice. The mayor. I was speaking with 77 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 4: the mayor last year. We were talking about the shront 78 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 4: boats right here in the Vyu and how many were 79 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 4: here when I was a child versus how many are 80 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 4: here today? And I think he said, there's like a 81 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 4: hundred boats in the Vyue now. There were so many 82 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 4: back whenever I was a child. So this is how 83 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: the imports and what's been going on has been affecting 84 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 4: us over the years, and it's gotten to the point 85 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 4: now to where my husband and I we have an 86 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 4: ice boat, which is fresh. We never freeze. You know, 87 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 4: most of the bigger boats they have freezers and they 88 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 4: freeze offshore. They freeze their kitch before they get in. 89 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 4: There's probably less than ten ice boats working today. And 90 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 4: the crushing. I just wish that everybody could understand the 91 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 4: crushing that we have been under. And that's what I 92 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 4: use that word because that's literally what it is. We 93 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 4: feel crushed and this is what we love to do, 94 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 4: honestly feel this is what God's called us to do. 95 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 4: But the hardship has just been unreal. The price of 96 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 4: fuel has gone up. We have to have fuel on 97 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 4: our boats, we have to have ice, we have to groceries, 98 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 4: not to mention nets and all this equipment. Just our nets, 99 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 4: just two of our nets cost ten thousand dollars. I 100 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 4: see my husband go out last year and he hit 101 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 4: a hang, you know, which is just something in the 102 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 4: water that you know. It could be something that I 103 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 4: don't knows, sorry to explain. It could be like an 104 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 4: old sunk boat. It could be anything. A hang could 105 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 4: you know, and could have moved like with storms and stuff. 106 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 4: But anyway, he hit a hang and lost both of 107 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 4: our nets, ten thousand dollars worth of nets, just like 108 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 4: that in an hour. So we're already not making any 109 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 4: money because we're having to sell our front for such 110 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 4: a cheap price. Because like I said, we've got all 111 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 4: these imports just being dumped in the country and there's 112 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 4: just no profit. I mean, we're just getting by, and 113 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 4: we're barely getting by. I really don't know how much 114 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 4: more people can hang on. And when I say that, 115 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 4: I'm not just speaking for our community. I mean we 116 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 4: have friends all the way down to Louisiana, down to Venice, 117 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 4: you know, and they're in the same shape. Some of 118 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 4: those guys are in worse shape than what we are 119 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 4: because there is more shirt boats there, you know, it's 120 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 4: more competitive there, and we're doing everything we can do 121 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 4: to survive. So, yes, we are excited about the tariffs. 122 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 4: To say that that's going to solve all our problems overnight, 123 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 4: I don't think so. I think it is definitely a 124 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 4: step in the right direction. And as a fisherman, you know, 125 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 4: and we love supplying a good product to our customers. 126 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 4: Our customers love it. They appreciate us so much. God 127 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 4: has blessed us with some great customers. If it wouldn't 128 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 4: be for them, Like I said, I don't know that 129 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 4: we would still even be able to be in the 130 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 4: business today, and many have gotten out of it. But 131 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 4: going back to supply, I honestly feel like the Gulf 132 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 4: Coast we could supply so much more shrimp if we 133 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 4: could help. If the government, instead of taking tax dollars 134 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 4: and sending it overseas to work against us, if they 135 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 4: would take those tax dollars and put them right back 136 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 4: here into the fishing industry and help us to re 137 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 4: build our boats, help us to build new boats and 138 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 4: support our fishermen. I feel like we have not been 139 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 4: supported by the government. In other words, we've just been 140 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 4: having more and more stuff put on. It's more and 141 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 4: more regulation. And if you don't mind, I'd love to 142 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 4: put this out. 143 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: There right there, pulling right there. Hemmy Hall Sea Harvest 144 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: Fresh Shrimp dot Net. 145 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 5: Coming up listening to the Michael Berry Show podcast is 146 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 5: Sexy be Sexy. 147 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: Hemmy Hall is our guest. 148 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 3: She is in the Shrimping Capital of America by U Labattery, Alabama, 149 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 3: third generation in the fishing and shrimping industry. Her husband 150 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 3: is what they call a shrimperman. We just called them shrimpers, 151 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 3: but they've kind of elevated shrimpermen. 152 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: I like this from Mom. 153 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 3: That's probably a TikTok move or something. They probably have 154 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 3: a TikTok account. It's called Sea Harvest Freshshrimp dot net. 155 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 3: And these are the types of family run businesses that 156 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 3: would be affected by TIFFs. This would be when you 157 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 3: stop allowing other country tries to dump cheap products into 158 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 3: your market and you start allowing American run, family run 159 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 3: businesses to provide typically a higher quality. 160 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: Product. 161 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 3: Now, how do other countries dump cheap products into your market. 162 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 3: They don't have the labor standards, they don't have the EPA, 163 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 3: they don't have OSHA, they can't get sued. They're often 164 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 3: backed by the government because they're a jobs program. So 165 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 3: our businesses are left on the open market to compete 166 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 3: and we can't sell our product into their market because 167 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 3: they put tariffs, but they can dump their product here, 168 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 3: and it's very frustrating for American small business owners. You know, 169 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 3: Tammy made the statement earlier, she said, Look, the teriffs 170 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 3: are not going to make life easy for us tomorrow. 171 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 3: The it's just going to give us a fighting chance. 172 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 3: And I kind of have the impression, amone, if you're 173 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 3: a multi generation shrimping family, suffering is kind of in 174 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 3: your bones, right you are like mother Teresa. You suffering 175 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 3: is going to be in your There's never going to 176 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 3: be an easy day. These are people with cuts and 177 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 3: scabs and scratches and stuffs getting hung up. What you say, 178 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 3: you got to hang on a schooner that was left 179 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: out there or an oyster reef or whatever. These are 180 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 3: people who suffer, and they do it quietly, and they 181 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 3: it's like coal miners. This is just tough work. But 182 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 3: it just feels like this is the right thing to 183 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 3: do to protect American businesses the way other countries protect 184 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 3: their people. Anyway, Tammy, you were starting into something and 185 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 3: I interrupted you, So go ahead, sweetheart. 186 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 4: So I just wanted to touch on, you know, with 187 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 4: all the hardships that we face as fishermen, the licenses 188 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 4: that we are required to have, tons of licenses. It's unreal. 189 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 4: We are my husband says, were licensed to death. So 190 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 4: we've got all these licenses, we've got all these regulations 191 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 4: on us. And this was when I wanted to touch 192 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 4: on my customers come to us all the time. They 193 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 4: know we sell trampt you know, they were like, we 194 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 4: want fish, we cannot go anywhere and buy good fish. 195 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: And this is what I tell them, and that's the truth. 196 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 4: Our federal government makes us put these devices in our nets. 197 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 4: It's called a fish excluder device. It lets all the fish, 198 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 4: all the good fish go. You know, we may catch 199 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 4: some trash fish. But the sad thing is we have 200 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 4: to put this device in our nets that let's all 201 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 4: the good fish go that we could sell to our customers. 202 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 4: But yet you go sit down at a restaurant, I 203 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 4: guarantee you almost every restaurant has fish on the menu. 204 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 4: And it's important. Now that's another example. That's a whole 205 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 4: nother story, but just one of the things we have 206 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 4: to face. Not only do we have these fish excluder 207 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 4: devices in our nets, we have a tad excluder device 208 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 4: which lets turtles go. Well, excuse me, not only does 209 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 4: it let turtles go, it lets a lot of our 210 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 4: catch go. Now, going back backing up to what I 211 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 4: was talking about earlier in this segment about my grandfather 212 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 4: and the shrint price is not changing much since he 213 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 4: shrimped back then, they didn't have as many regulations as 214 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 4: what we have. They didn't have heads and the phish 215 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 4: excluder devices that they had to put in their nets. 216 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 4: So there's just a lot of challenges that we have 217 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 4: to go through. But when it comes down to where 218 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 4: the rubber meets the road, the truth and the fact 219 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 4: says there is no comparison with our product and an 220 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 4: import whatsoever. They these imports are loaded with antibiotics that 221 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 4: are banned. And I said this the other day on 222 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 4: the Mounts Show whenever hen I were talking, I told him, 223 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 4: I said, I would like for people to go and 224 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 4: google for themselves and. 225 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: Go and google it. 226 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 4: There's videos out there on how they collect these shrimp. 227 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 4: And like you said, not to mention, you know by 228 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 4: the time they get here, but people need to know 229 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 4: what they're eating. I would never eat one, as a 230 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 4: matter of if. I don't even eat seafood at many 231 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 4: restaurants at all, just because I know the imports. And 232 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 4: like I said, the numbers say over ninety percent of 233 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 4: the shrimp consumed in the United States is imported. 234 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 3: It's crazy, and I think it is. And by the way, 235 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 3: but by the way, we're not a landlocked nation. We 236 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 3: are a nation surrounded by excellent fishing, but we have 237 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 3: created a situation where nobody wants to fish our waters. 238 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 3: We have to import things from around the world because 239 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 3: we've subsidized that, and it's. 240 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: Being frozen for how long to come here? 241 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 3: Speaking of which I was going to ask you earlier, Timm, 242 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 3: I didn't want to interrupt you. 243 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: You said that. 244 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 3: Y'all have one of only about ten boats that's an 245 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 3: ice boat, and I mean, obviously I have a sense 246 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 3: of what that is. 247 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: Why is that important? What does that allow you to do? 248 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 4: So the difference and ice boat in the freezer boat. 249 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 4: You know, of course they freeze their catch, like I said, 250 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 4: while they're offshore. They have freezers on the actual boat. 251 00:13:59,200 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: Us. 252 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 4: You know, we just get a lot of ice and 253 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 4: as we catch the shrimp, you know, we catch them, 254 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 4: we sort them out, wash them really well, and. 255 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: Then we ice them. 256 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 4: We just put them in ice and water pretty much 257 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 4: until we get back to the dock and we sail 258 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 4: straight to the public. So ice foakes is just pretty 259 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 4: much saying a fresh catch that's never frozen. 260 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: That's amazing. 261 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 3: That's not intuitive to the term. That is very very interesting. 262 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question while I have you 263 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 3: if you were telling people how to you know, they 264 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 3: buy their fish head on and they divein it and 265 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 3: all that. Are there any particular tricks you have or 266 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 3: how to prepare a shrimp, how to store a shrimp? 267 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: Present? Are there any because you know more about this anybody, 268 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: So yeah. 269 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 4: I would say there are some things. There's a little 270 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 4: shrimp devenor that you can buy us a little plastic 271 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 4: shrimp diveinor I know they've got these high dollar ones 272 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 4: out there, and I'm not knocking those either. They're good, 273 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 4: but I just still like the old fashioned little plastic one. 274 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 4: You know, you just pop the head off and then 275 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 4: you take the little dibiner and go down his back. 276 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 4: And my daughter in law, we've been wanting to do 277 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 4: a video, so we'll probably do a video on that 278 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 4: and put it on our Facebook page. But also we 279 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 4: have a great recipe on our Facebook page. You may 280 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 4: have to scroll down.

So you got the guy punching a 480 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 3: clock at the at the plant and he's saving up 481 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 3: his money to try to send his kid off to 482 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 3: college because he wants his kid to not have to 483 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 3: work in the plant because he lost his hearing already 484 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 3: and it's. 485 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: Awful and terrible. 486 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,479 Speaker 3: But he doesn't realize that all that money you're going 487 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 3: to save up and spend isn't making a difference. 488 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: It's what the kid makes of life. 489 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 4: You know. 490 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you that in a minute.

Pete Seth is the worst 502 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 9: Department of Defense secretary we've ever seen, and the Buddha 503 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 9: judge was our secretary of transportation. Fantastic. He should run 504 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 9: for president. He's an amazing guy. 505 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,239 Speaker 8: And the only policy changes to be some that has 506 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 8: put in the place which both have the more you 507 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 8: post and turned it out and potentially as an effective you. 508 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 9: Know, well, affecting me is pretty much everything, but due 509 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 9: process is the biggest one. We've got people that are 510 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 9: being put in jail, sent to other countries that haven't 511 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 9: been before a judge. Therefore, we've got a lot of 512 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 9: mistakes happening, and therefore it's, as far as I'm concerned, 513 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 9: due process is the biggest. We need people to be 514 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 9: rightfully detained, if so, then put before a judge and 515 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 9: then found in a center guilty. 516 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: And let's make sure we get this. 517 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 3: In this segment, a young lady posted to social media 518 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 3: how she was paid to protest and what she had 519 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 3: to do to collect her money. See, these aren't people 520 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 3: who were upset with what's going on, not that it 521 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 3: would matter. Oh you're upset, okay, Well you being upset 522 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 3: doesn't matter unless you go stand in a crowd and chant, 523 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 3: who cares. We're all upset. We all have a problem 524 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 3: you go on with life right and you cast a vote. 525 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 3: Stop this already, But anyway, here's how she was paid 526 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 3: to protest and how. 527 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: What she had to do to collect her money. 528 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,479 Speaker 10: I was one of the paid protesters at the April 529 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 10: fifth Liberal protests, and so I just wanted to come 530 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 10: on and talk about my experience, what I had to 531 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 10: do to get paid, and how much are that paid. 532 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 10: So there were two kind of parts to it. The 533 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 10: first was obviously just showing up. They gave me like 534 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 10: a time and a place and told me to look 535 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 10: for a girl with blue hair and a nosering, which, 536 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 10: like I thought be really hard because I thought like 537 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 10: everyone was good like that, But luckily she was the 538 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 10: only one that was really easy to find her. 539 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, that was good. I checked in. 540 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 10: I told you that you couldn't wear anything maga. They 541 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 10: also asked you not to wear red, so I just 542 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 10: wore a black T shirt and jeans, and yeah, I 543 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 10: checked it. And then they said, just like go on 544 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 10: the march and then at the end there would be 545 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 10: like a questionnaire to answer. 546 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:19,959 Speaker 4: Oh. 547 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 10: And then the other thing is they said they would 548 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 10: pay extra if you brought a sign, so I did 549 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 10: bring a sign again, same thing, like couldn't be MAGA 550 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 10: had to like be in line with like the liberal agenda. 551 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 10: So my sign said everyone deserves a good education, which 552 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 10: like I don't necessarily personally agree with like bringing me 553 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 10: a server like a mechanic, like you don't really need 554 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 10: an education, But I wanted to fit in. I wanted 555 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 10: the money, and I didn't want to like draw attention 556 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 10: to myself, so that's what I went with. So anyways, 557 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 10: I went on the march and then at the end 558 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 10: I had to check back in and that's when they 559 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 10: gave me the questionnaire. And Okay, the interesting thing is 560 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 10: like you had to answer the questionnaire as if you 561 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 10: were a liberal, and there were right and wrong answers, 562 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 10: like it wasn't just like whatever you thought, like you 563 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 10: could get the questions wrong and you had to get 564 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 10: them right in order to get paid. This one, I 565 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 10: invested like two hours of my time, so I wanted 566 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 10: the money, you know. So the first question, for example, 567 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 10: was why do Republicans want more women to stay home 568 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 10: and not work and not have jobs? And again I 569 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 10: just kind of had to put myself in like their mindset. 570 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 10: So I wrote basically like if women don't have jobs 571 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,719 Speaker 10: or job experiences, and they have to rely on men financially, 572 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 10: and that gives men a lot more control over their lives. 573 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 10: For example, like you know, if like she's in an 574 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 10: abusive situation or whatever, she can't really leave, especially if 575 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 10: she just kids, she doesn't really have the means to 576 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 10: take care of them, and she doesn't have the experience 577 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 10: to get a job that could like afford to take 578 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 10: care of them. So it just gives like the men 579 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 10: a lot more control to kind of do what they 580 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 10: want her to do. 581 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 2: Basically. 582 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 10: So that was my answer for the first one, and 583 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 10: I got that right, But there were some that I 584 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 10: just like didn't really know what they would consider our 585 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 10: right answer, you know. 586 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 4: So I just asked he was like, what do I do? 587 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 10: I don't know how to answer this, and she said, 588 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 10: just like do your best and then come talk to 589 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 10: her at the end. So, for example, there was wanting 590 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 10: it and really not to say it was like what 591 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 10: is critical race theory and. 592 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: Why should it be taught? And like what's an example 593 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: of like something that. 594 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 2: You can learn from it? 595 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 10: And I didn't know what they wanted the answer to me, 596 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 10: you know, so I just asked her about that one 597 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 10: and the answer that she gave is basically, they just 598 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 10: want people to under stand the lasting effects and impact 599 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 10: of segregation discrimination. And the example she gave what she 600 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 10: called she kind of like generational wealth. And she explained 601 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 10: that during slavery and during Jim Crow and like even 602 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 10: after that, in some places, like black families have been 603 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 10: essentially barred from owning homes, where like white families could 604 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 10: own a home and then like pass that down and 605 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 10: their family can either like live in that home and 606 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 10: not have to pay for a mortgage, or they could 607 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 10: sell that and then use that money towards like other opportunities. 608 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 10: But because black families weren't able to own homes, they 609 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 10: weren't able to accumulate that wealth in the same way, 610 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 10: and they had to like spend more of their income 611 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 10: on rent, and they weren't getting that back when you 612 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 10: get back, you know, when you buy a house. 613 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 2: So she said that I was just like one. 614 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 10: Example, but yeah, that was like kind of her answer 615 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 10: to that question. 616 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: So I wrote that down, and yeah, I got paid. 617 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 10: I got paid one hundred dollars for going to the protest, 618 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 10: and then I got paid an extra ten dollars for. 619 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: Bringing the sign. 620 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 10: And like overall, it's a pretty good experience. 621 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: Reason I know it was nice for thank you and 622 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: good night.
