00:42I think it was extremely successful, and I give the majority of the credit to the captain of the vessel.
00:46Um, if we hadn't gotten that immediate mayday call, with a position, we wouldn't have known exactly where he was.
00:53exactamente where he was. I'd say most of those ideas came from training like this, you know.
01:00I'm sure there's a manual for it or something, but when am I going to sit down and read that, you know.
01:15Commercial fishermen work incredibly hard and sometimes put safety second because they're trying to make money.
01:20They're trying to run a small business. They're trying to feed us, and so these kind of trainings are really important.
01:26All right, we got a leak. We got a leak. Can we call it a mayday? Can I get a rag, please, some tubing and a little shingle?
01:34What do we want to do? We want to yell. What do we need?
01:36Fire on board, flooding on board, any kind of electrical issue, injuries on board.
01:42I mean, they do incredibly hard and dangerous work.
01:45You think about, you know, someone who works on a factory floor, an industrial athlete.
01:49While their work is incredibly important, the floor of that factory is not pitching and rolling and raining and snowing.
01:58And these men and women go out in those kind of conditions and harvest fish for our country to be fed.
02:03They went and bought brand new suits. I showed back up, and I'm good friends with the captain.
02:06And I looked at him, and I laughed. I said, your fat ass isn't going to fit in that.
02:10Red paddle, now. Red paddle.
02:13There you go.
02:14All right. Roll over on your back.
02:25Okay. There you go.
02:27Nice.
02:30All right. You're right.
02:35To cut it now would be tragic because that just means there are so many people who are going to be left behind because to get this in the private sector, this kind of training, it costs a lot of money.
02:45The funding that's been provided by the federal government has allowed us to train thousands of fishermen.
02:53And in the three years that I've been with the organization, we've gotten myriad of stories back from fishermen.
02:59We taught first aid down in Connecticut.
03:03And a month after we did that, one of the young men that we trained was underway on his boat and saw a capsized boat, responded, rescued another fellow fisherman from the water, and saved his life.
03:13Really important. We see that as surveyors all the time.
03:24Entire federal workforce is downsizing now, so this will be a painful period for HHS as we downsize from 82,000 full-time employees to around 62,000.
03:36The Secretary of Health and Human Services announced more layoffs today.
03:40This is all part of the administration's effort for a mass reduction in force in the federal bureaucracy here in Washington, D.C. to save American taxpayers money.
03:49What we're trying to do is reduce government. We have too many people.
03:54This is largely, much of this stuff is because of Biden.
03:56Press that nasal spray, and that is one full dose of Narcan.
04:02I'm going to place his hand on the ground, and then put his knee over, so that if he, Carl, is feeling sick, he doesn't aspirate, he doesn't choke.
04:14You guys know Russell now.
04:16My kids, you know, what happens if you don't come home?
04:26I'm coming home. Don't worry about that, you know?
04:29So, and that's because of programs like this, you know?
04:33Yeah.
04:34For sure.
04:35The fact that this would go away because of money, you know, is crazy to me.
04:42For the government is huge.
04:44If they give us this money to do this training, it's going to lessen how much money has to be spent to rescue the untrained mariner.
04:51The fact that we can offer it free based on the funds that we're receiving is incredibly beneficial to the industry, and to lose it would be tragic.
