is over 10 percent re has joe biden been down to see this facility of yes or no. the president has not been down to okay. no. has carmella harris been down to see the biden cage? is this facility? yes or no. the vice president was at the border. has she been down to see this facility? i know she went to el paso as she seen the biden cages. they are not cages. and what are these waltz, senator? that has, has carmella harris seen them yesterday? she has not been dead. has any democratic senator on this committee been down to see the biden cages too, too. oh i, i believe the democrats have been down to see this facility. yes or not on a facility, whether they are members of this committee. i do not know that righty host and political analyst a perkins does think that the board a crisis isn't j biden's top priority. of course it's a terrible thing to subject the child to a 1000 mile journey in the hands of criminal cartels. and that's exactly who is bringing these people to the border and helping them across it. and along the way,

subject to abuses of which we can only imagine with horror. how many women have been brought across the border that were sexually repeatedly abused and sold into sexual slavery and have disappeared? how many children have been sold into pedophile rings and disappeared? how many children have had the virus? how many adults have the virus? are you testing anyone? all these questions have answers that are numbered, not just the yes or no answers that tells me they don't keep those statistics because they don't want the public knowing what those numbers are. my opinion that joe biden is not at all worried about what is happening at the border that he is confident in his own mind. that the people who work with them and for him are handling that smartly and with goals in mind. and they will achieve their goals. and i don't think joe biden, thanks much about the border at all. just on half ice in the morning at the sunday here in mosque, i could tag a company that most the weekly would have more intestines.

ah ah fishermen made this is a different world fisherman visited regularly this morning world. familiar with chapters still to come his traps, hopes, assessment, all like 20 fathoms deep and rocky bottom of the coast of maine. ah ah, it was a good living to be made in the atlantic ocean. if anybody would go get there is a patch of water around the try. a seal island in contention between canada and the

united states. northern gulf made may suddenly become optimal for lobster. our populations here is exploded, one of the most valuable fisheries that ever existed. suddenly you had made an canadian fisherman in these waters at the same time jousting for positions and attentions of high violence is bound to happen. this is the last land border dispute between canada and the united states. it could be magnified to the point where there could be cost that would be significant to quote countries. border disputes don't go away, they discussed, or something's going to happen. in some ways, bob's ring is immensely complex. in another sense, it is simple and direct. see in the boat remain the ruling force an assault or a man's life in the quest to fish. thing that brings not only the rewards of toil,

but a sense of freedom with with ah,

with we just left the board of seal go long, graham and an island. we're here right now that little ship is, are headed toward the giant seal island to go all out of your traps in the great name, brian got all, i'm president, graham and perkins association. i started visiting before i got into high school, and at this, over with

my 50, their idea of, of the vision. and i would feel that if again, role my brigade under drab, every one of them are in the raise all this area, water, ears close. and when you come to law and you'll see the gears great up on it, that's the most lucrative spot. that's where the most the guys are going to go. that's where most of them way it's got to go. i guess. the last 4 of i v as it been getting more and more crowded every every year. i think about a 1000000 government never get control of some of the greys on that. they never really had full control of it all. ready, and why on is to cause enough work a i think where they would like to see have, or they like to leave the regimen almost like a drop all the people creaking in the grey zone on before it was ever great. but

the canadian government cut back on there for troll of the line. so the americans were bridging undisputed katie water is actually one of my old vol. they claim that it was over the line. all of us today, the line that is out on the grades i would do was not i came out and divided them and all them that they didn't get back. i've done a lot of them. they gave it back. i guess i didn't want to walk home after 4 years of or you know about it, one of the americans that if you want, i mean economic benefit out of that. in the summer dawn when you're not vision, you better come visit with the guy from the government of canada said just swipe with him. but he knew it was white with a band. and with him 2 weeks we were going to lie on our job. you know, i can on the out, you know,

i think i'll go with that in that line. play with own it really is all american, all is all they so much you can load well you feel like you have the events of the available event in the property 20 years ago. there would have been hardly any boat from either side over time. the abundance of lobster has increased and made it more lucrative, and people have figured out we want to get it cracked and those lobsters. we got official complaint i may do or not bagging them or canadian waters. we're going to vision here on this granite ledge above this sheltered co begins his day one day in the life of one man mm. the sea

with its islands place of business for a whole breed of men who don't mind wet feet. canada m u. s. share a 5525 mile long border. and this is the last piece of land that are still contesting after more than 200 years of border making. so much i a seal island north rock. actually, depending on whether they're american or canadian, that determines whether the water is around them. car, american, or canadian. so this gray zone, it contains a fairly rich harvest of lobsters. but it, so job for the laser. you are the fearful at the right moment the man eases his motor rolls, his wheel pulls his clutch with his gaff, he brings the war up aboard. he enters it in the snatch blocks, takes

a couple of turns around to winch head and the hoist to take over the work. the trap breaks water and his hold on deck bushel basket makes a satisfactory ketchel on a lobster boat. this is one of those days you get ahead. this is where the border now and that is the agreed upon border between grandma and island and the coast to maine. and the reason there's this david here is that if my child feel island, which is here, is canadian, the canadian say this is the border that would exist. united states actually basis it's claim on a channel called a northwest channel that runs along the ocean floor here. that creates this greys all. it's all based on whether we try a seal island is america for canadian. ah, when the revolutionary war was over, the peace treaty was signed in paris. so the treaty said that all islands within 20

leagues of the coast of the newly independent 13 colonies would be america, except any island that had ever been part of nova scotia. the official u. s. position is that the child seal island is not now and never has been part of nova scotia. this is the beginning of the conflict alongside the long legged war or when it comes to rest for the 1st time since daybreak. and loads is cash and weighs it in weight shipping to the market. for most of recorded history, those waters were basically just exploited by mean fishermen. in 2002, the canadians changed their fishing seasons to allow canadian lobster men to fish in the grades all during the summer. real pensions began then because there are so many more people fishing in both waters. my concern is that there is no country in

the world that's more important to the united states and canada and to allow an issue like this to sit there with the potential of causing an ugly dispute. it could be magnified to the point where there could be cost. that would be significant to both countries. mm hm. mm hm. a, we've been in the business for a little more than 10 years. there has been

a huge increase in the landings. not too long ago, it was 20000000 pounds, 305060 1000000 pounds. and then it got to be maybe a $100000000.00 pounds. when i got to that point, people really started to take notice and lately it's been about a 130000000 pounds. so it's been a huge increase in supply could be because waters continue to warm in the state of maine and it's pushing that the catch north in the catch seems to be going down more to mid coast and beyond, which is what we called down east main and which is often called way down east is called the greys all right. along with canada, there's definitely more landings in that area than there were 10 years ago. there's . there's no question about it. but i think that people, for the majority of people feel that we're at our peak and landings right now, i think that's on the front of everybody's mind. so at this point,

the issues mc raise own can impact the market for main lobster because that's really main product in it. and once it goes to canada comes back, is product to canada, then people don't associate it with main. the main brand is really what main sells and it's not just the launch the industry is the tourism industry. and if we lose market share because of that that can really hurt the industry. ah

ah i

officer is incredibly important here on the coast to me. it was worth more than $500000000.00 just to the boat last year. it's not just the captain. also, the crews are doing the wrong. it becomes a huge, huge driver of the economy on the house for track builders, for boat builders, for all the infrastructure that goes into distributing laughter. one of the most valuable fisheries that ever existed. interestingly, it's not actually the price that has that much, but the volume has changed a huge amount up to the early 1900 ninety's. they were only landing about 20000000 pounds in 2016, we landed 131000000 pounds. but even with all of that year to year change, the landings haven't been uniform across the state. a water temperature rise, biological prophecies for lobster and as water warm, it is possible that those biological processes could break down. over the last 10 to 15 years, gulf man has one faster than 99 percent of the global engine area in. if you look

south of the gulf main places like rhode island and southern massachusetts, the lobster of fishery there is basically collapse beginning around that timeframe . lobster catches in the state of main, started to increase at an exponential rate, even when the water refers morning, it's still cooler than the areas that they were leaving. we can see that species are steadily starting to move towards the pause. there course other changes that are going on in the ecosystem. one of the really big ones has been the decline of the ground fish like how to, where big creditors on tiny officers that's opened up, a lot of habitat for lobster to move into. the larger population has taken advantage of those environmental conditions and had a boom, ah, what we're seeing is that the lobsters becoming a bigger fishery right along the border between the u. s. and canada. and it's not

a good scenario. they are competing for the same resources and yet they're living by different rules. large lobsters are able to be caught by canadians, but not by americans. they are fishing with different types of gear. sometimes heavier gear seasons are different. and that's creating more controversy, especially now that it's an increase in it so lucrative right now. it's a worry about what's going to happen to those with any for the hydro, like how you plastic, right? nobody good here. all this stuff made it capable of spending a bit in these areas. ah, well yeah, labs or any time i wanted. i thanks. i'm home and he did it. the old days used to

board the boat, but it's illegal now. because of the like 13 or 14 bounder i would say in jo, our main gate, that's part of the layer management strategy loretta guy in congestion areas integrate some of the hotspot with can i know boy class line over there in the sand. you asked walters undisputed, there's a big boat with a big gun on it, but if you didn't stop, they'd tell you they're going to fire in. oh, and if you don't stop, they'll steve landon a general black u. s. coast guard.

the time runs in different directions at different time and it's hard to tell where other people are on the blue one down below, as i know is canadian just by the longer with that might be an american. down below is there too, was a lot of little bumps like right now with i'd like somebody come along and they get all kinds of room, but your actual throw a lot different than where you're blue and you make a mistake and get on top. somebody else and cut off. there's all kinds of people to bed complex. sometimes you lose all part of it. we might have some fun on this one or to live with my brother, lobster fish,

my nephews labs to fish my grandchildren lives to fish in the blood in this community. main source of revenue is our fishermen. they keep to st. lights going keep our cam roads paid, they keep going. if they were to lose that area, there would be a huge impact on the downtown. for 1984, there was no canadian in this area. there was no grady. so peachy goes by. they bring more and more fishman over, we're talking to the country, so it's a lot harder to resolve. different people get angry and get more dangers every day . every lobster, this is caught by a canadian, is one last, not caught by an american dollars. not in the local economy,

which we need drastically. ah, we don't have any territory. i can't go any further. i can't go any further to the southern because if you get into bike shop or job port territory here, lose dia. so, what fishman, we have is crowded into the area already as it is this territory. the canadians have got a 110 square miles. that's pretty big job. that's what the biggest fear is not having a place to fish. this community severely suffer if you took them bottom line. i think this time some needs to be done this before. we could have stop this before he started. if we had any political help, i, our government does not come back us up as much as we need more back into my government. if i go over a lot of the canadian side of the bottom line, they take me by boat, my gear, my crew put us in jail. i but they come with the ball mile,

the cutlass your and fish. so are you going to do any better? somebody's going to be filled with it is on this on that side. that's my it's just a matter of time with me. when i started down here, you know, this was a one man patrol and now you've got 4 guys plus myself. now, in this area, we enforce all laws in the state of maine and main focus is commercial fishery. you know, before we may go to the grey zone. now there were down there to hide area for all because the so open to get there. the upcoming love division here,

fishman nominal in the last few years, and people know that, i mean i have statistics when they do, they've gone fishing, that we had it now, and again crowded by the caney, pushing them further in sudden, over off them all purpose. we've got a couple complaints when they think they get home with community. i know they would like us to enforce a law and we have no jurisdiction door, no longer on. i mean it's just that it's not going to drive them out. there's more comment on me now. we have back few years ago, and he was like, probably 9 to 12 boast on the clean vessel, sufficient graham and, and now you get both from graham and capital and always go fish. i've heard of rocking 45 votes and a lot of the fishermen max, know they got a lot of investment in and they're not catching lobsters. things getting

campus and i think that's where your conflict stops me. ok i me ah, for recalls degrees only because once the battle started over it is kind of became a bit gray as to who actually on that is actually

the 1st impression, the fish in the garage when the good lord put the lob fusion, the water, he didn't say leisure for me or for graham and angel catching me if you can get along. main lobster fishermen fishing where they're bothering our kids. let's get down and catch some of them before they do a great job. he's really, you know, contributed to the economy on graham and, and, and we're contributing more to the provincial and federal coffers in any community . our shy because of the lobster industry. so nobody fished it from canada for years and years and years because it was more lucrative to fish sovereign canadian water. but we're getting no economic benefit to canada to that fresh water that we consider to be or so he created a summer fishery. it went from one year we, we've gotten maybe that you've had the band and other years we thought up to

a 130000 big difference and hopefully they should hopefully stays that way for a while. but most of the attention has been a boat is very high dollar value and everybody wants it. they don't go to get it. they want us michelle's bus, just the out registry president where you're taking our lives years and you know, the other gosh, i know you're taking our lunch afternoon fishermen's association right now we're in the neighborhood of 20250 members, both captains and crew and that probably one of our highest points right now. it was really of more of a sovereignty issue. when we went down there, it's a way for the government of canada for the people of candidates continued claim that piece of bottom that both the u. s. thank you, have a claim and it's a way for us to drive an economic benefit from that thought that we weren't able to before. over the last i'd say 5 to 7 years, our landings have almost double. so it's created really a year round economy here on the island. it's like a domino effect because,

you know, at the fishery does good than the small. this is do well. it was fishing ended, the fishermen go on unemployment because there was nothing to do. and now people are working year round to folks are getting larger engines. there's houses being sold in bought of 90 percent of people are driving vehicles. you know, the economy's great, but more lucrative. it's become the more money people are making them more nasty. people have become here. horror stories about having when he or charles towed into a ball or something, you go hook on to it for hours trying to get the traps out there. this big file around, keep yourself clear. the other guy, basically, that's the name of the game. and it's always a bit contentious to go there. i try hard not to be worse and i have to be, but there comes a point when you get push so far where you just have to say ok, that's enough. we're going to stay here because if i ask you to move somewhere and

it's gonna cost you a few $100.00, you might go. yeah, well it's not that big a deal. it's gonna cost you $100000.00 and going anywhere. and that's what's happened. there's no warm and fuzzy stand there. i mean, i got some respect for some of their fishermen. i think some of them do for us. and you know, if somebody was thinking i'm going to go alongside help seems i would. it was a canadian boat, but it's not coming to my house for think of, you know, and i'm not invited to, there's with you. i saw a message from an unknown account because it had to sell through with my passport as its profile page. i saw pictures of my documents, it was they also sent a credit contract. if i had just 3 days comply with their demands to see if i didn't send money and they sent up an online hate campaign because i was supposed

to be a very dangerous man with the process right for a 2nd night. and lindsay ver lockdown, intended to reduce the cases, severally, you states of all site toughened restrictions on the week you this hour? we discussed the issue with a panel and get my response to the politicians is where will you when your case numbers was slightly hi. hi, hi, i still just as we get used to my new role with a new policy, something else comes out there is a lot of let the politicians do what they want. they didn't follow some of the mandates they weren't wearing mass. ah.
