FISHING RULES THAT RUINED FAMILIES

FISHING RULES THAT RUINED FAMILIES

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty
Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 071225
Episode #: 1947
Original Broadcast Date: 07/12/25

During the Obama administration, sweeping fishing restrictions blanketed America’s coastal waters. From Maine to Florida, and California to Washington, recreational fishermen found themselves regulated out—while commercial operations were allowed to expand. Elizabeth explores how those rules impacted family businesses, many of which folded under the weight of permits, fees, and federal overreach. Now, some of those rules are being rolled back—but for many, it’s too little, too late. In this segment, you’ll hear voices from both sides: those who fought to protect the waters, and those who say the government destroyed their way of life.


FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS

About the Show

Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don’t normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.
