i think my friend -- congressman john campbell, retired house member from orange county, california,world needed to change. so i started with joel manby, the new ceo and i was skeptical and i think he was feeling awkward with me because we were adversaries, critics and i felt he needed to address the issue of orcas and stop the breeding. he recognized that that was really stepping on the larger work that seaworld was doing. that he had to clear that out. "blackfish" was a water shed and cnn's serial rebroadcast changed the optics on this issue in the country. it was a tough negotiation but here we are today with a series of elements and a plan that i think really is positive for the american people. it's going to be good for seaworld and certainly good for animals. >> one question for you. seaworld often defended itself by saying look, the money we bring in from ticket sales is not just profit. we do a lot of good in the environment. we do a lot of good for the health and well-being and the viability of orcas in the wild, as well. those ticket sales, i think you can attest, will like
