PM Show Hr 2 | Tammy Hall on the Harm of Foreign Seafood Imports

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, Luck and Load for
Michael Verie show is on the air.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
John Mount froms Innovation in Birmingham, Alabama, and he's responsible.
I think we have seven affiliates now in Alabama, and
he's responsible for getting us an incredible number of listeners
in Alabama. And it's one of my favorite places to
visit when I visit stations because the people of Alabama.

(00:41):
My wife laughs, because we go to events there. People
will bring a pie from that they've made at home
and bring it for us. They'll bring things that their
fam barbecue that their family makes because they're very proud
of their barbecue, and they're just such gracious people. They
are truly the kindest people in the world. And I

(01:04):
know that there is in the national media that all
comes out of New York. There is this idea that,
you know, people from New York are very New York City.
I like to upstate New Yorkers, don't get me wrong,
but New York City. That there was the idea that
these are the sophisticated people, and these are the best people,
and they're smarter than everyone else, and that people in
Mississippi and Alabama and Louisiana and Texas. They're not very

(01:25):
smart Georgia, but I got to tell you, they're the kindest, sweetest,
most ingenious people. And if you want to see pure
brain power, let me tell you something. These redneck rocket scientists.
I had them on the air, These guys in Huntsville
with NASA. These guys have multiple PhDs in quantum physics.
They're just brilliant. But I love the people of Alabama

(01:46):
and it's some of my favorite people. I get emails
every day from people listening in Alabama, and there's some
of the most wonderful people in the world. And I
feel like I should lead the charge Ramon or Alabama
appreciation across the Yes. Now, I will tell you I'm
being completely honest. I also feel that way about Arkansas,
in Kentucky and Tennessee, but we're focused on by Ulabatry Alabama.

(02:10):
Right now. You were talking about banks lending money to
these foreign fisheries, American banks that are funded and backed
up by American taxpayers, and they give this money to
these foreign operations to then bring their product back and

(02:30):
compete against you cheaper because the labor is cheaper, and
people are selling out their fellow Americans, and they'll say
things like, well, it's only business. Business is business is
a tough decision. No, these are decisions you make that
you have to live with and you should be called
to account to have to live with them because there
are real consequences. You've chosen to do X instead of

(02:51):
why because it helped you, because you didn't really believe
in what was right. Doing the right thing is harder
than doing what is immediately advantageous, isn't it. And that's
what people have to remember. Tammy Hall is our guest
Seaharvestfreshshrimp dot Net. She is a multi generation shrip industry

(03:11):
family fishing and shrimp. Do you get the sense that
with these tariffs that there is a market? Do you
have bandwidth? Do you have capacity to bring in more shrimp?
Could that be something so you don't have to just
be limited to sell retail. You could sell to wholesalers
and really expand your operation.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
I think I know we could. I know that, and
we're to seek that BYU. Laventry is the seafood capital
of Alabama. So going back to what I was saying earlier,
it's been a breakdown over the years, and I know
it's hard to explain it, but these imports have been

(03:56):
dumped into our country year after year after year, and
over those years, let's just say in my lifetime. Okay,
let's go back to what let's say the seventies. All right,
the shrimp boats were being built. The shrimp and industry
was good. We and when I say we, I mean
the Gulf Coast shrimpers. I know you've got the East
Coast and everything as well, but we on the Gulf

(04:18):
Coast were thriving. We were a thriving community. But over
the years, these foreign shrimps have been coming in. Okay,
it's effected our market big time. And by that I
have seen so many people have to get out of
the business. They didn't have a choice. The mayor. I

(04:43):
was speaking with the mayor last year. We were talking
about the shront boats right here in the Vyu and
how many were here when I was a child versus
how many are here today? And I think he said,
there's like a hundred boats in the byu Now. There
were so many back whenever I was a child. This
is how the imports and what's been going on has
been affecting us over the years and it's gotten to

(05:05):
the point now to where my husband and I we
have an ice boat, which is fresh. We never freeze.
You know, most of the bigger boats they have freezers
and they freeze offshore. They freeze their catch before they
get in. There's probably less than ten ice boats working today.
And the crushing. I just wish that everybody could understand

(05:29):
the crushing that we have been under. And that's what
I use that word because that's literally what it is.
We feel crushed and this is what we love to do,
honestly feel this is what God's called us to do.
But the hardship has just been unreal. The price of
fuel has gone up. We have to have fuel on
our boats, we have to have ice, we have have groceries,

(05:52):
not to mention nets and all this equipment. Just our nets,
just two of our nets cost ten thousand dollars. I've
seen my husband go out last year and he hit
a hang, you know, which is just something in the
water that you know. It could be something that knows,

(06:12):
sorry to explain, it could be like an old sunk boat.
It to be anything. A hang could you know, and
could have moved like with storms and stuff. But anyway,
he hit a hang and lost both of our nets,
ten thousand dollars worth of nets, just like that in
an hour. So we're already not making any money because
we're having to sell our front for such a cheap price.
Because like I said, we've got all these imports just

(06:34):
being dumped in the country and there's just no profit.
I mean, we're just getting by, and we're barely getting by.
I really don't know how much more people can hang on.
And when I say that, I'm not just speaking for
our community. I mean we have friends all the way
down to Louisiana, down to Venice, you know, and they're
in the same shape. Some of those guys are in

(06:56):
worse shape than what we are because there is more
shirtboats there, you know, it's more competitive there, and we're
doing everything we can do to survive. So, yes, we
are excited about the tariffs. To say that that's going
to solve all our problems overnight, I don't think so.
I think it is definitely a step in the right direction.

(07:17):
And as a fisherman, you know, and we love supplying
a good product to our customers. Our customers love it.
They appreciate us so much. God has blessed us with
some great customers. If it wouldn't be for them, Like
I said, I don't know that we would still even
be able to be in the business today, and many

(07:40):
have gotten out of it. But going back to supply,
I honestly feel like the Gulf Coast we could supply
so much more shrimp if we could help. If the government,
instead of taking tax dollars and sending it overseas to
work against us, if they would take those tax dollars
and put them right back here into the fishing industry
and help us to re build our boats, help us

(08:01):
to build new boats and support our fishermen. I feel
like we have not been supported by the government. In
other words, we've just been having more and more stuff,
but on it's more and more regulation. And if you
don't mind, I'd love to put this out.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
There right there, full on, right there. Tammy Hall Sea
Harvestfreshrimp dot Net.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
Coming up listening to the Michael Berry Show podcast is
Sexy Be Sexy.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Hemmy Hall is our guest. She is in the shrimping
Capital of America by u La Battery, Alabama, third generation
in the fishing and shrimping industry. Her husband is what
they call a shrimperman. We just called them shrimpers, but
they've kind of elevated to shrimperman. I like this from Mom.
That's probably a TikTok move or something. They probably have
a TikTok account. It's called Sea Harvest Freshshrimp dot net.

(08:52):
And these are the types of family run businesses that
would be affected by tariffs. This would be when you
stop allowing other country trees to dump cheap products into
your market and you start allowing American run, family run
businesses to provide typically a higher quality product. Now, how

(09:12):
do other countries dump cheap products into your market. They
don't have the labor standards, they don't have the EPA,
they don't have OSHA, they can't get sued. They're often
backed by the government because they're a jobs program. So
our businesses are left on the open market to compete,
and we can't sell our product into their market because
they put tariffs, but they can dump their product here,

(09:33):
and it's very frustrating for American small business owners. You know,
Tammy made the statement earlier, she said, Look, the terrifts
are not going to make life easy for us tomorrow.
They's just going to give us a fighting chance. And
I kind of have the impression, amone, if you're a
multi generation shrimping family, suffering is kind of in your bones,
right you are like mother Teresa. You suffering is going

(09:56):
to be in your There's never going to be an
easy day. These are people with cuts and scabs and
scratches and stuffs getting hung up. What you say, you
got to hang on a schooner that was left out
there or an oyster reef or whatever. These are people
who suffer, and they do it quietly, and they it's
like coal miners. This is just tough work. But it
just feels like this is the right thing to do

(10:18):
to protect American businesses the way other countries protect their people. Anyway, Tammy,
you were starting into something and I interrupted you, So
go ahead, sweetheart.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
So I just wanted to touch on, you know, with all
the hardships that we face as fishermen, the licenses that
we are required to have, tons of licenses. It's unreal
where my husband says, were licensed to death. So we've
got all these licenses, we've got all these regulations on us.

(10:48):
And this was when I wanted to touch on my
customers come to us all the time. They know we
sell shrimp. You know, they were like, we want fish,
we cannot go anywhere and buy good fish. And this
is what I tell them, and that's the truth. Our
federal government makes us put these devices in our nets.
It's called a fish excluder device. It lets all the fish,

(11:09):
all the good fish go. You know, we may catch
some trash fish. But the sad thing is we have
to put this device in our nests. Let's all the
good fish go that we could sell to our customers.
But yet you go sit down at a restaurant, I
guarantee you almost every restaurant has fish on the menu.
And it's important. Now that's another example. That's a whole

(11:32):
nother story, but just one of the things we have
to face. Not only do we have these fish excluder
devices in our nets, we have a head excluder device
which lets turtles go. Well, excuse me, not only does
it let turtles go, it lets a lot of our
catch go. Now, going back backing up to what I

(11:52):
was talking about earlier in this segment about my grandfather
and the shirnt price is not changing much since he shrimped.
Back then, they didn't have as many regulations as what
we have. They didn't have tads and the phishing excluder
devices that they had to put in their nets. So
there's just a lot of challenges that we have to
go through. But when it comes down to where the

(12:14):
rubber meets the road, the truth and the fact says,
there is no comparison with our product and an import whatsoever.
They these imports are loaded with antibiotics that are banned.
And I said this the other day on the Mounts

(12:38):
Show whenever hen I were talking, I told him, I said,
I would like for people to go and google for
themselves and go and google it. There's videos out there
on how they collect these shrimp. And like you said,
not to mention, you know by the time they get here,
but people need to know what they're eating. I would
never eat one, as a matter of if. I don't

(13:00):
even eat seafood at many restaurants at all, just because
I know the imports. And like I said, the numbers
say over ninety percent of the shrimp consumed in the United.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
States is imported. It's crazy, and I think it is.
And by the way, but by the way, we're not
a landlocked nation. We are a nation surrounded by excellent fishing,
but we have created a situation where nobody wants to
fish our waters. We have to import things from around
the world because we've subsidized that, and it's being frozen

(13:35):
for how long to come here? Speaking of which I
was going to ask you earlier, Timmy, I didn't want
to interrupt you. You said that y'all have one of
only about ten boats that's an ice boat. I mean,
obviously I have a sense of what that is. Why
is that important? What does that allow you to do?

Speaker 3 (13:50):
So the difference in ice boat in the freezer boat.
You know, of course they freeze their catch, like I said,
while they're offshore. They have freezers on the actual boat. Us.
You know, we just get a lot of ice and
as we catch the shrimp, you know, we catch them,
we sort them out, wash them really well, and then
we ice them. We just put them in ice and

(14:12):
water pretty much until we get back to the dock
and we sail straight to the public. So ice fokes
is just pretty much saying a fresh catch that's never frozen.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
That's amazing. That's not intuitive to the term. That is
very very interesting. Let me ask you a question while
I have you if you were telling people how to
you know, they buy their fish head on and they
debate it and all that. Are there any particular tricks
you have or how to prepare a shrimp, how to

(14:45):
store a shrimp? Present? Are there any because you know
more about this anybody, So yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
I would say there are some things. There's a little
shrimp devenor that you can buy us, a little plastic
shrimp diveinor I know they've got these high dollar ones
out there, and I'm not knocking those either. They're good,
but I just feel like the old fashioned little plastic one.
You know, you just pop the head off and then
you take the little dibiner and go down his back.
And my daughter in law, we've been wanting to do

(15:13):
a video, so we'll probably do a video on that
and put it on our Facebook page. But also we
have a great recipe on our Facebook page. You may
have to scroll down. I already share it, just to
make sure it's on there, but fried shrimp that way
your customers, if anybody wants to try it. We've got
a good old Southern recipe for fried shrimp on there.

(15:35):
It's our favorite. Just make sure that it is golf shrimp.
And even if I would like to say this as well,
if you're going out to buy your shrimp, pay attention
because even though the packaging may say golf shrimp, it
doesn't necessarily mean that it is. Flip it over read

(15:55):
the fine print. I'm hoping and praying that one day
soon we'll be able to things will pick up, you know,
and we'll be able to ship shrimp. I've had several
people called wanting to know Forduce ship. You know, that
is something that we're working on. I know that, Tammy.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
I'm up against the break, sweetheart. I wish I could
continue on our website is see Harvestfresh Shrimp dot net.
It's a fellow American company, small business, third generation, trying
to make it. This is what the tariffs are intended
to protect. Support your fellow Americans, Americans a nation that
can be defined in a single word. I was going

(16:35):
to foot number nine. Not only Frontier. Gibbery expressed the
courage scene in the day and Michael Berry show. This
human being creature was at an independent school district called
Red Oak ISD. And listen, well just just listen to it, right,

(16:57):
I'm over talking this thing these past seven months. Reddig
was my sanctuary.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
If you asked Rosalind Sandry where she'd be sitting right
now a month ago, she'd tell you red ok High School.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
I used to joke around with them that being a
teacher's all I've ever wanted to do since I was
five years old.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
But the reason she's not tiny is why we're sitting
down with her today.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
When I resigned and signed that resignation, I felt like
I was signing away my ability to teach in the
state of Texas.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
I don't know that another school will touch me now.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
Sandy says she felt like she had no choice but
to resign from red ok Ist after the amount of
hatred she received from this video she posted on her
tiktoki I'm Rosie, Texas English teacher, expressing herself about the
reception she got from students when.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
I told them I had changed my pronouns, jumped right
into it.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
They call me ma'am.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
That was until the video was reposted on X.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
They pinned it to the top of their X account
for five days.

Speaker 5 (17:49):
The video posted on the libs on TikTok x account
now has more than three million views. She says that's
when she started getting death threats and other nasty emails.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
In my school email.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
I got a notice that told me to eat a bullet.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
It also got the attention of state Representative Brian Harrison,
who posted this on his ex account, calling for Sandry's resignation.
The district confirmed with WFAA they accepted Sandry's resignation effective
immediately on Monday.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
I felt for my safety and the safety of the school.
That's all I could do.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
The schools are for education, not for indoctrination.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
I spoke with Representative Harrison over zoom on Tuesday.

Speaker 7 (18:29):
Teaching children, minors, young children that boys can become girls
and girls can become boys is at odds with objective reality,
and the biological reality is that there are two sexes.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
Sandry says her dream was stripped away from her.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
That's all I want is the need back in classroom.

Speaker 6 (18:49):
And now she can only hope that'll happen again one day.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
The Left has been so effective. I am in deep
admiration for how effective they are at what they do.
In the same way that I am in deep admiration
for people on our side who stand up, who say
things that they know will upset people that they know

(19:17):
will potentially cost them their job, that they know will
cause them and their families to suffer because they believe
in it. But let's go back to the left. Somewhere
along the way, you have a grown man who says
I'm a woman. Now, kids, you will now call me

(19:38):
a woman. You're not a woman. You're not a woman.
Whether it's Donald Trump or Matt Walsh. We can define
what a woman is, but a woman cannot be what
you are because you're born with a sex and you
cannot change it. You can cut off your toe, you

(20:00):
can cut off your finger and cut off your ear
van goo. You can even cut off your wiener, doesn't
make you a woman. A woman is not just a
wienerless creature. Right. You can't just decide I'm a woman.
You can't just decide I'm a Nigerian. You can't just
decide I'm Elon Musk. You can't do it. Now. If

(20:24):
you do do it, that's your issue. But we're not
going to subscribe to that. The kids are not going
to tell you that you're twelve feet tall because you say,
y'all have to tell me I'm twelve feet tall, and
you're not going to convince them that they have to,
because that is dishonest. Seeking the truth is what learning

(20:49):
is all about. It's what life and the scientific method
and science itself. Seeking the truth is what reading the
Bible is about. To someone taught at a lecture, seeking
the truth, that's what we do. You are a proponent

(21:10):
of dishonesty. You are not a man a woman, and
for people to say that you are to keep from
hurting your feelings means that you're not capable of being
a teacher. If you want to be clinger in mash
and dressed as a woman to make the military think
you're crazy so you can get kicked out because you

(21:32):
don't want to be at war, fine, do it, but
understand that that was what he was doing, because that
was the way he was showing the military. I'm crazy.
Kick me out. Remember, well, we don't believe you. Yeah,
I'm crazy. I'm really nutting. You got to kick me out.
We don't believe you. How about this, I'm dressed as

(21:52):
a woman. Okay you are. They're not going to let
you out, but we do think you're crazy now, but
we don't think you're really crazy. You're just pretending that
you're crazy. We don't think that you really think that
you're a woman. If we believe that, then you'd be
crazy and then would kick you out. That's how that works, right,
See how that works? Well, what are we to think now?

(22:17):
What are we to think now? But where the left
one where they did so well, was the idea if
you know that a man is not a woman, even
if he says he is. By the way, he said
it was a man yesterday. So it's not like you're
going up and going I'm not sure you don't look

(22:37):
sufficiently womanly. You know, he was a man. His name
was Bob, and now he's Barbara. Call me a woman.
I'm a woman. No, you're a man. Yesterday we believed you.
I don't need to check what's on to the hood.
You're a man. You're still a man dressed as a woman.
It happens. It's either Halloween or you're a free Okay, Fine,
it's your business, do it at home. Okay. The point

(23:02):
at which the Left made parents feel uncomfortable about having
influence over what their child is taught is the moment,
in my opinion, that they have exercised the ultimate power move.
I admire them for that. Our side is not strong

(23:25):
enough to do that. Generations past were Generations past would
have fired that guy. Get out of here. You're crazy,
get out. But today we're more progressive, and even the
most conservative person will say, I'm not a racist, I'm

(23:47):
a good person. I'm not being hateful. Who said you were? Methinks?
Thou dost protest too much? Technically it's thou dost protest
too much, methinks. But in any case, why would you
say that you're not a bad person. We're stating something
we all know to be true because they've taught you

(24:12):
that you should be ashamed of yourself, and so you
still do it. You still stand up for it, but
you're still kind of ashamed of yourself.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
Right.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
I had arrest me or take me to Texas.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
So it was talking anything gets out of this state.

Speaker 8 (24:25):
I think Michael Berry robs.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Michael Very show.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
I played some of the audio from the quote unquote
protests over the weekend, and you know, it's it's so
funny because ninety nine percent of Americans never go to protests.
They don't care about the protests means nothing to them.
They're raising kids, taking care of their elderly parents, you know,

(24:54):
so much of our lives is consumed with caring for
the young and the old. You've got the whole pregnancy process,
then you've got the early stages. Then you've got the education.
Then you've got the whole industry of the colleges and

(25:15):
the universities, which become its own evil. Industry is a massive,
massive business. Some people still think of it as what's important,
You're going to grow into a special person. You've been
around a campush, do you know? Do you know what
a campus is? A campus is a bunch of kids
because there's still kids trying to decide what party they're

(25:35):
going to go to that night. And yeah, yeah, pretty
much that's it. And it's not some you know, you
have this idea the University of Virginia, how's ay study?
Or the only people doing any work are the professors.
The students aren't doing anything. Then they get their degree.
You put in your time, you pay your money, you

(25:56):
get your degree, and then people hire you and bring
you in and train you, or they don't, and you
go fold clothes at Apricom and Fitch. And that's the
way it is. It's so overrated, so incredibly overrated, but
that's the reality. Nobody wants to tell you that, but
that's the reality. So you got the guy punching a
clock at the at the plant and he's saving up
his money to try to send his kid off to

(26:17):
college because he wants his kid to not have to
work in the plant because he lost his hearing already
and it's awful and terrible. But he doesn't realize that
all that money you're going to save up and spend
isn't making a difference. It's what the kid makes of life.
You know. Well, I'll tell you that in a minute.
I'll tell mine because of something I want to get to.
This is a male protester at one of the Hands
Off rallies to protest who is a big fan of Pete. Buddy,

(26:42):
gig go get them.

Speaker 9 (26:43):
Way too much to this, but I wanted to be
here to be a part of history and see if
we can find a way to change things.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
And tell me about inside here holding what is it?

Speaker 4 (26:54):
You read it for me?

Speaker 9 (26:55):
It's sure in a world full of Pete takes sense,
be a Pete puta change. Pete Seth is the worst
Department of Defense secretary we've ever seen, and the Buddha
judge was our secretary of transportation. Fantastic. He should run
for president. He's an amazing guy.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
And the only policy changes to be from admiss that
has put in place.

Speaker 10 (27:16):
Which both to the more you post, concerned it out
and potentially is an effect.

Speaker 9 (27:21):
You well, affecting me. Is pretty much everything, but due
process is the biggest one. We've got people that are
being put in jail, sent to other countries that haven't
been before a judge. Therefore, we've got a lot of
mistakes happening, and therefore it's, as far as I'm concerned,
due process is the biggest. We need people to be
rightfully detained, if so, then put before a judge and

(27:41):
then found in a center.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Guilty, and let's make sure we get this. In this segment,
a young lady posted to social media how she was
paid to protest and what she had to do to
collect her money. See, these aren't people who were upset
with what's going on, not that it would matter. Oh

(28:03):
you're upset, okay, Well, you being upset doesn't matter unless
you go stand in a crowd and chant, who cares,
we're all upset, we all have a problem. You go
on with life right, you cast a vote. Stop this already.
But anyway, here's how she was paid to protest and
how what she had to do to collect her money.

Speaker 10 (28:21):
I was one of the paid protesters at the April
fifth Liberal protests, and so I just wanted to come
on and talk about my experience, what I had to
do to get paid, and how much are that paid.
So there were two kind of parts to it. The
first was obviously just showing up. They gave me like

(28:42):
a time and a place and told me to look
for a girl with blue hair and a nose ring, which,
like I thought be really hard because I thought like
everyone was good like that, But luckily she was the
only one that was really easy to find her.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
So yeah, that was good.

Speaker 8 (29:00):
I checked in.

Speaker 10 (29:01):
They told you that you couldn't wear anything maga. They
also asked you not to wear red, so I just
wore a black T shirt and jeans and yeah, I
checked it. And then they said, just like go on
the march and then at the end there would be
like a questionnaire to answer. Oh, and then the other
thing is they so they would pay extra if you

(29:23):
brought a sign. So I did bring a sign again,
same thing like couldn't be MAGA had to like be.

Speaker 8 (29:32):
In line with like the liberal agenda.

Speaker 10 (29:34):
So my sign said everyone deserves a good education, which
like I don't necessarily personally agree with like bring me
a server, like a mechanic, Like you don't really need
an education, but I wanted to fit in. I wanted
the money, and I didn't want to like draw attention

(29:54):
to myself, so that's what I went with. So anyways,
I went on the march and then at the end
I had to check back in and that's when they
gave me the questionnaire. And Okay, the interesting thing is
like you had to answer the questionnaire as if you
were a liberal, and there were right and wrong answers,
like it wasn't just like whatever you thought, like you

(30:14):
could get the questions wrong and you had to get
them right in order to get paid. This one are
invested like two hours of my time. So I wanted
the money, you know. So the first question, for example,
was why do Republicans want more women to stay home
and not work and not have jobs? And again I

(30:38):
just kind of like had to put myself in like
their mindset. So I wrote basically like if women don't
have jobs or job experiences, and they have to rely
on men financially, and that gives men a lot more
control over their lives.

Speaker 8 (30:57):
For example, like you know, if like.

Speaker 10 (31:01):
She's in an abusive situation or whatever, she can't really leave, especially.

Speaker 8 (31:05):
If you just kids. She doesn't really have the means
to take.

Speaker 10 (31:07):
Care of them, and she doesn't have the experience to
get a job that could like afford to take care
of them. So it just gives like the men a
lot more control to kind of do what they want
her to do.

Speaker 8 (31:17):
Basically. So that was my answer for the first one,
and I got that right.

Speaker 10 (31:21):
But there were some that I just like didn't really
know what they would consider our right answer, you know,
so I just asked he was like, what do I do?
I don't know how to answer this, and she said,
just like do your best and then come talk to
her at the end. So, for example, there's one I
didn't really not to say. It was like what is

(31:41):
critical race theory and.

Speaker 8 (31:45):
Why should be taught? And like what's an example of
like something that you can learn from it?

Speaker 10 (31:50):
And I didn't know what they wanted to answer to he,
you know, so I just asked her about that one,
and the answer that she gave is basically, they just
want people to under stand the lasting effects and impact
of segregation discrimination. And the example she gave what she
called she kind of like generational wealth. And she explained

(32:11):
that during slavery and during Jim Crow and like even
after that, in some places, like black families have been
essentially barred from owning homes, where like white families could
own a home and then like pass that down and
their family can either like live in that home and
not have to pay for a mortgage, or they could sell.

Speaker 8 (32:32):
That and then use that money towards like other opportunities.

Speaker 10 (32:35):
But because black families weren't able to own homes, they
weren't able to accumulate that wealth in the same way,
and they had to like spend more of their income
on rent, and they weren't getting that back when you
get back, you know, when you buy a house. So
she said that I was just like one example, but yeah,
that was like kind of her answer.

Speaker 8 (32:53):
To that question.

Speaker 10 (32:54):
So I wrote that down, and yeah, I got paid.
I got paid one hundred dollars for going to the Protec,
and then I got paid an extra ten dollars for
bringing the sign, and like overall, it's a pretty good experience.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Reason know it was nice. Thank you and good night.
