I'm putting it in the 21 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: running for Talkback of the Day today. Brought to you 22 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: by a mini leaf. 23 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: The left has succeeded in raising its generation of adult children. 24 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: They have no sensibility, they have no responsibility. 25 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: Everyone's a victim. 26 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 3: It's going to take years to get through this money mess. 27 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, you're absolutely right. They've inten intentionally gone 28 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: and created this dynamic wherein the broken and brainwashed on 29 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: the left are driven almost solely by their feelings and 30 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: not anything relating to that which is rational. Let me 31 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: get to a few more of your thoughts here. I 32 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: don't want to wipe out too far because I do 33 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: want to get to vehicle tabs. 34 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 4: Hi, John, just stopping the handover. You know that lawmaker 35 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 4: that's saying show it to the park. And they drew 36 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 4: their weapons if they were about to conduct an Operation 37 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 4: Canada Arrest, It's very plausible that they were checking their 38 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 4: weapons to make sure that they were loaded, locked loaded 39 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 4: safeties on of which they'd have to unholster to check 40 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,839 Speaker 4: their weapons and stuff. That's probably all they were doing 41 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 4: was checking their weapons, and she. 42 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: Was in the near vicinity. 43 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 4: It freaked out like, oh, they drew their weapons on me. 44 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, now listen, that's a good rational explanation. There's an 45 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: easier one too than that is you was just lying. 46 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: She happened to be in the vicinity right as these 47 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: ICE agents went in to arrest a criminal and saw 48 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: them draw their weapons, and it maybe had nothing to 49 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: do with her. And even then, I'm probably giving too 50 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: much credit because they'll just lie through their teeth. 51 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 2: They'll host videos. 52 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: Regarding the possibility of getting tax breaks to go and 53 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: help students, and they'll just blatantly Your representatives on the 54 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: DFL side will just blatantly lie. 55 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: They don't care. 56 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 5: You know. 57 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 6: I saw some of these trainings for being an ICE 58 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 6: observer and they specifically say you should record. So how 59 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 6: come there's no recordings ever of any of this. Everybody's 60 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 6: got a camera on them. You got a camera on 61 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 6: your phone. 62 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're absolutely right. 63 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: Brad Tabke must have been really really bad at training 64 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: individuals on how to be observers. Even those alleged Brooklyn 65 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: Police Department officers who had the altercation with ICE, you 66 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: would think that, and I think they even one of 67 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: them said they had their cell phone slapped out of 68 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: their hand, and yet there was no video that was 69 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: ever produced of that. 70 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 2: Funny how that happens? 71 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 7: Morning John, Great show. I just want to report that 72 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 7: as a resident white Bear Lake, the poison has spread 73 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 7: to our suburb. In the recent edition of the White 74 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 7: Bear Press, there's a big article talking about how we 75 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 7: can band together protect our neighbors and report ICE activity. 76 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 7: And I do believe that the Vanda sites Mara would 77 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 7: be interchangeable with Jacob pry by this by looking. 78 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, by the look of it is what 79 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: he was saying there. Thank you for that. Hey, doesn't 80 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: surprise me. But it's all propaganda. It's wordplay to give 81 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: off the perception that ICE is out there rounding up 82 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: legal citizens. 83 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: For no rational reason. 84 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: That's all that That language is, protect our neighbors. It's 85 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: all code. No, you're talking about protecting illegal immigrants and 86 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: illegal immigrant criminals. I shared that email from that foe 87 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: of the show Lunatic yesterday. 88 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: He was one of the people that was emailing me 89 00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 2: a bunch. 90 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: On the end of the person who claimed that he 91 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: was a Trump supporter, but was very upset saying that 92 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: I was lying regarding my views and stands over what 93 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: happened to Renee, Nicole Good and Alex Pretty and I 94 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: challenged him in an email I had some time when 95 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: the show was done, and I was in a good mood, 96 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: and I just asked him, point'm playing, So you support 97 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: those that are here in the country illegally. He said 98 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: he was a Republican Trump voter at one point. So 99 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: you're against ice going and arresting criminal illegal aliens. You're 100 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: against deporting illegal aliens. These are individuals who are potential murderers, 101 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: sex offenders, drug traffickers, spousal abusers. In the middle of 102 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: the email, he suggested that I go to the doctor 103 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: and get some Xanax and calm down. And of course 104 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: he responded to me and didn't bother to answer any 105 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: of my questions about him supporting criminals, because I. 106 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: Don't think he really was a Trump supporter. Funny how 107 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: that happens. 108 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: Joe Moose wasn't happy when he walked back to his 109 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: shiny twenty twenty five GMC truck in a Roosevelt parking 110 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: lot last week, new license plate tabs in hand. His 111 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: receipt was eight hundred and eighty dollars. This is disgusting. 112 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: You want a winning argument for Republicans, hammer this. This 113 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: impacts everybody. It's completely arbitrary, totally unfair, and it's straight 114 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: up theft lurking off the version of the story from 115 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Star Tribune. The middle class is being squeezed 116 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: out of existence, he said, and recently raised vehicle registration 117 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: taxes commonly known as tab fees, weren't helping more than 118 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: the amount though. The Maplewood residence said he was bothered 119 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: by his feeling that the state wasn't spending his money. Well, 120 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: I'm willing to spend more if they didn't waste it, 121 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: he said, arguing the state has frittered away money through 122 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: fraud and not prioritizing essentials like road maintenance and construction. 123 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 2: Republicans and Democrats in. 124 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: The closely divided legislature have both made affordability a key 125 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: issue this legislative session, but with some exceptions that proposed 126 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: different ways to lower the costs for the state residents. 127 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: Representative Patty Anderson, Republican out of Dullwood, is sponsoring a 128 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: bill that would unwind the tab fee increases approved to 129 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: buy Democrats during the Trifecta back in twenty twenty three. 130 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: I will share with you what she had to say next. 131 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: Several other drivers were also complaining of high tab fees 132 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Star tribume who visited several government vehicle 133 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: services office last week. One paid seven hundred and thirty 134 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: three dollars to renew their registration for a late model 135 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: Toyota minivan. Anothers spent seven hundred dollars for a twenty 136 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: twenty four Lexus suv. There is no reason to pay 137 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: this much other than the Democrats have found an excuse 138 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: to go and take this money from you, and they 139 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: feel as if you're helpless to go and do anything 140 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: about it, because essentially you are. I had a talk 141 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: back that rolled in in the first hour of the show, 142 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: and they made a really good point our law enforcement 143 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: officers even enforcing tabs anymore. And I don't know what 144 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: the cost is if you get pulled over. I think 145 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: it used to be like driving with that insurance was 146 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars, right, Maybe Devin can look it up, 147 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: like what is the cost for driving around without tabs? 148 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: Because at this point it's almost more economical to deal 149 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: with the ticket than it is to have to pay 150 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: your registration fee, although you do run the risk of 151 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: getting pulled over more often and having to pay more. 152 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: All Right, got a lot of comments that are rolling in. 153 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: We're going to get into this.

This is a winning strategy your car 167 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: vehicle registration fees, if Republicans can capitalize on it. 168 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 10: We had a guy once upon a time in Minnesota 169 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 10: who ran a governor's campaign based on property taxes and 170 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 10: vehicle taxes.

Don't expect them to go down again. Representative 176 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: Patty Anderson, Republican out of Dell Wood sponsoring a bill 177 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: that would unwind the tab fee increases approved by Democrats 178 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: during the twenty twenty three trifecta. 179 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: Here's a bit of what she had to say. 180 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 9: So many of you. 181 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 11: Have recently attempted, probably to renew your tab fees, and 182 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 11: it's an absolute sticker shock. 183 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: In the state. 184 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 11: I have a friend who has a couple of year 185 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 11: old Tesla, not a very expensive car, thirteen one hundred dollars. Folks, 186 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 11: that is a rent payment thirteen hundred dollars just to 187 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 11: renew your tab fees for a car that you need 188 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 11: to get to work. For a car that you need 189 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 11: to go to the grocery store to bring your kids 190 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 11: to childcare. 191 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: That makes no sense. 192 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 11: And Minnesota has become completely unaffordable for middle class folks 193 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 11: who are just attempting to support their family. Thirteen hundred 194 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 11: dollars even a car that's seven eight years old, the 195 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 11: tab fees are three four hundred dollars. That's crazy. And 196 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 11: in a time when when everyone is struggling to make 197 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 11: ends meet to put food on the table. The fact 198 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 11: that we've made driving, you know, unaffordable for people is wrong. 199 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 11: We need to move the tab fee back to the 200 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 11: way it was before the DFL trifecta mathematically increase the 201 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 11: cost of driving a car. 202 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: We have a bill to do that. 203 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 11: We're going to push that hard because what we need 204 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 11: is affordability here in Minnesota. 205 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 2: Thank you. 206 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: As if the paid family medical leave wasn't bad enough 207 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: as it is, having money taken out of your paycheck 208 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: for time off that. 209 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: You probably won't use. 210 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: I got a friend of the show, ethan on X 211 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: just shared with me his receipt seven hundred and thirty 212 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: seven dollars, and it's listed here in the story. Several 213 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: drivers complained about the high tab fees to the Minnesota 214 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: Star Tribune reporter who visited several government vehicle services last week. 215 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: One paid seven hundred and thirty three dollars to renew 216 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: the registration of a late model Toyota minivan, another seven 217 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: hundred on a twenty twenty four SUV. Minnesota tab fees 218 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: depend on the value and age of the vehicle. Why 219 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: why Well, the reason is because at least in my mind, 220 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: there may be a more official explanation for this, But 221 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: the logic is, according to a Democrat, well, if you 222 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: can make more money and afford a newer car, then 223 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: you can afford to pay more on your registration fees. 224 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: What is it about that vehicle that happens to be 225 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: new or that is going to cost you more than 226 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: the other vehicle. As a matter of fact, it should 227 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: be opposite. What I mean by that is if the 228 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: money for the registration fees is going. 229 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: For the roads. 230 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:15,599 Speaker 1: Newer cars are more road efficient, lighter, less damaging on 231 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: the roadways. Right, I have all kinds of new safety technology. 232 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: People should be encouraged to buy new vehicles, But no, 233 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna get punished if you purchase a new car. 234 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 12: Corner John. South Dakota is one of the handful of 235 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 12: states that allows non residents to register their cars there, 236 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 12: and it looks like the annual tabs are between twenty 237 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 12: five and one hundred dollars based on the size of 238 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 12: your car. So if the DFL gets their way, I 239 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 12: have a feeling we'll be seen a lot more South 240 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 12: Dakota plates and then the DFL gets zero. 241 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's too bad that this debate wasn't raging 242 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: back when former state Representative John Thompson was busted for 243 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: having a Wisconsin license because he maybe could have used 244 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: that excuse. 245 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 13: I guess I hold the record here for the tab 246 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 13: renewal fee for twenty twenty six, opping one thousand, four 247 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 13: hundred and fourteen dollars for one car. I'm from Michigan. 248 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 13: My tabs are typically twenty five dollars fourteen. 249 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 14: Hundred dollars for one Oh. 250 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: But remember, everybody, the Democrat Party is the party of affordability. 251 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: That is insane on the issue of whether or not 252 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: you actually want to go and renew your tabs. 253 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 15: Be cautioned, John, it's not necessarily the fine, but if 254 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 15: you get caught with tabs that are six months old, 255 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 15: they can take your car. 256 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 14: Hey, John TJ from Northmania, Apple's friend of the show 257 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 14: talking about this tabs As a rideshare driver, I already 258 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 14: paid that almost seven hundred dollars the last time on 259 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 14: a vehicle that's four years old. The problem that I 260 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 14: have with it is Minneapolis doesn't even pull over people 261 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 14: for not having up to date tabs, So what is 262 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 14: the point of us having to pay them if they're 263 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 14: not going to enforce it. 264 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: Have a good day now listen if you want to 265 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: run the risk, because that's what it ends up being. 266 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: Right are We have more on this, but let me 267 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: close out this segment with another piece of audio for you. 268 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 2: We'll get back to your talk bask. 269 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,359 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of them rolling in, so Representative 270 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: Brad tab Key makes another appearance.

We just had a talk back 300 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: from a person who paid fourteen hundred dollars to renew 301 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: their view vehicle. Most individuals between seven and eight hundred 302 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: dollars a year. If you make close to one hundred 303 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year, you're actually losing about eight hundred 304 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: dollars already through another DFL program, paid Family Medical Leaf. 305 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: So arbitrarily, two different ways. It means they're just two 306 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: different ways. Arbitrarily that democrats are taking thousands of dollars 307 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: from you every single year and you have no choice 308 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: in the matter. I mean, I suppose you don't have 309 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: to work. I suppose you don't have to drive a 310 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: vehicle and wouldn't Democrats love it if there were more 311 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: people just sucking off of the Democrats and their welfare 312 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: programs and writing around in public transportation. It's almost as 313 00:17:51,840 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: if they're doing this intentionally.

The potential wherein if you are 326 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: a classic car collector, this new proposal Bill HF three 327 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: eight six y five could keep you from driving your 328 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: classic vehicle only on the weekend.

If you add up your hunting 377 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 17: license or fishing license or ATV, your snow ambills, your 378 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 17: boats cross country scheme, there's a license and a fee 379 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 17: for everything. Then you on top of that you add 380 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 17: on umbadda close to eight to ten percent sales tax 381 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 17: on top of everything you buy in the state, and 382 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 17: then the gas tax and then the tabs. Yeah, you're 383 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 17: paying a lot more. Tax may not be called a tax, 384 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 17: but it's a license or fee than you even realize. 385 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: Democrats who control the state Senate in the governor's office 386 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 1: say they designed the fees to be progressive and to 387 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: help shore up the state's transportation funding structure that's lagged 388 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: that this highway system ages and repairs pile up. Scott 389 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: DIBBLDFLA in Minneapolis says, the fact is that we have 390 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: a roadbust roadway and bridge system, one of the most 391 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: robust in the country, and that is coming to an 392 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: end of its useful life. 393 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 2: But again, when you compare. 394 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: This to other states, As the story from the Star 395 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: Tribune does nine Western states and the National Conference of 396 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: State Legislatures found that they range from fifty dollars to 397 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,719 Speaker 1: over five hundred, putting Minnesota well into the higher range. 398 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 17: This increase in registration fees reminds. 399 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: Me when California wanted people. 400 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 18: The useless water during a drought. How does it get 401 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 18: to have the funds coming in? Then they increase the 402 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 18: poss of having water. Same thing here they encourage people 403 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 18: to gild up the cars is more left cars on 404 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 18: the road, which means less gas packs. When we say, hey, 405 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 18: let's just increase our registration piece make everybody pay for it. 406 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: The part of it that's so maddening to me is 407 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: just how all how arbitrary it is. We're just gonna 408 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: steal money. We're just gonna take it from the taxpayer. 409 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: When they had the trifecta, they just arbitrarily raise the 410 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: fees just because they could. There's no rationale behind it. Besides, 411 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: they just want the money. I know I'm getting ahead 412 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: of myself and I'm running out of time, but I'll 413 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: and I'll talk about this because I probably won't have 414 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: time today. But digital ads would be tax free no more. 415 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: Under a new House bill, no taxes are collected when 416 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: digital ads are bought in Minnesota. 417 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 2: Nor are they for billboards. 418 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: Okay, the main place you'd find advertising used to be 419 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: in a newspaper, but billboards came about commercials on the 420 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: radio television. Today they're of course an inescapable element of 421 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: your online experience, according to a Minnesota House. 422 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 2: Dot gov story about this issue. 423 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: So there's a new bill being sponsored that would end 424 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: the state's tax exemption for digital advertising sales and services, 425 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: and you're the same for billboards. So they basically just 426 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: want to arbitrarily tax online ads to just get it 427 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: the money. And the excuses they're giving are, well, you 428 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: know Facebook in Zuckerberg, you know, they make a lot 429 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 1: of money, and they don't give that money that they 430 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: make to us here in Minnesota. They don't give it 431 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: to you, and you should be jealous over that, so 432 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: we should just take it from them. It's just like 433 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: the registration fees. It's all just made up. They just 434 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 1: want your money, so they're just going to figure out 435 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: a way to go and take it. 436 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 2: Or redistribute it. Probably is more appropriate. 437 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 13: In Georgia, the license fee for any of you new 438 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 13: or old is twenty dollars a year. 439 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: And this whole idea, and I'll get back to. 440 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: The audio that I played a moment ago from Representative 441 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,959 Speaker 1: John Cosnick and Representative Brad Tabke DFL and Republican, respectively. 442 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 1: But this whole idea that where we're going to get 443 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: the money from, Well, maybe if you go and tackle 444 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: the billions of dollars in fraud, you can make up 445 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: the seven hundred million dollars that you say you're going 446 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: to achieve by raising all these fees. 447 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 2: So let me play you the rest of that audio. 448 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 2: In its entirety, we would. 449 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 16: Have more dollars with the same amount of dollars in 450 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 16: our transportation system as we currently do. Minnesota taxpayers, Minnesota 451 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 16: families would have more money in their pocket. 452 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 19: Mister. 453 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 8: We're gonna know what would happen fundamentally, mister chair, if 454 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 8: we passed this today, Where would this seven hundred and 455 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 8: thirty two million, in the next one hundred and fifty 456 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 8: nine million in this by anium? Where would that money 457 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 8: come from? You know that you can't just say that 458 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 8: it comes from the general fund. What are you going 459 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 8: to do? How could this work in reality? You know, 460 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 8: this is wrong. You know that we can't do this. 461 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 2: You're doing this just pushing motives here and that a 462 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 2: little bit. You know that that's wrong. So no, is 463 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 2: this wrong? This is what you do. I got your question. 464 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 16: Minnesota taxpayers from a variety of sources are paying into 465 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 16: the general fund. 466 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 2: Families are working. 467 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 16: Hard and harder every year to pay the taxes that 468 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 16: are due. It's tax season. Even I agree with you, 469 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 16: you're evading the question. I'm answering the question. Please don't interrupt. 470 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 16: Minnesota taxpayers are also now concerned about rising tap fees, 471 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 16: and there is a surplus of dollars in our state ongoing, 472 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 16: and we can afford this simple as that. 473 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 2: All they've done. 474 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: And this goes back to what the sort of the 475 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 1: central theme of how democrats go and reset a standard 476 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: and then they just dig their heels in on that 477 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 1: reset standard. You can't have ice agents looking menacingly at you. 478 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: It's threatening when they go and they run my license 479 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: plate after I've been following them around, even though I'm 480 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: a representative, and I'm out clowning around as if I'm 481 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: some sort of revolutionary fighting back against the Nazi Gestapo. 482 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: Because that's how individuals like Representative Brad Tabke go and 483 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: envision themselves, just like the other representative of lunatics that 484 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: went and did the same thing during Operation Metro Surge. 485 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 1: Or they go and they board flights to Cuba to 486 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: go on a communist safari to document the downtrodden and 487 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: Cuba paint murals for them and tell them how much 488 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: they're with them because they hate President Donald Trump. Just 489 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: a bunch of would be revolutionaries. But Brad Tabke's argument 490 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: here is, well, we're already going and charging all this money. 491 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: We can't just stop charging taxpayers for it. That wouldn't 492 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: be right. Well, sure you can, because it was wrong 493 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: to charge them this much in the first place. 494 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 20: Good morning, John Chuck from Green Island. I bought a 495 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 20: minivan launched for my guy. His wife had died and 496 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 20: he didn't need two vans, and he really needed the money, 497 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 20: and it was an old beater, and since he needed 498 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 20: the money, I gave him six hundred bucks for it 499 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 20: because it was a piece of crap. I paid the 500 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 20: taxes and then the state sent me a letter saying 501 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 20: it was a high value vehicle and they wanted more 502 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 20: tax money from me. So I went to a body 503 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 20: shop and they made me up a slip that said 504 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 20: took pictures and said this car is only worth five 505 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 20: hundred bucks. 506 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: I don't even want to know how much because this 507 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: was all imbedded when I got the car. I don't 508 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: even want to know how much Mondy's going to Monty 509 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: is going to end up costing me when I had 510 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: to register the car again this year. 511 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 5: Hi, John, I just checked off my wife with him 512 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 5: over here Wisconsin with three vehicles, and our tabs are 513 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 5: eighty five dollars a year plus a couple of dollars 514 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 5: service speed. It's ridiculous what you guys in Minnesota have. 515 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 5: I guess you're going to have to escape to other 516 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 5: states just to pay for your vehicles. Now, I have 517 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 5: a great day. 518 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 21: With these tab prices. The Democrats don't not understand their 519 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 21: middle class or lower middle class. Sometimes we buy a 520 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 21: newer car because they're sick and tired of all the 521 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 21: repairs on our older car that just come and go unexpectedly, 522 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 21: So we buy a newer car. It's a little higher payment, 523 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 21: but we know we're not going to have any problems. 524 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 21: And then they just blasted some of these tab fees. 525 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 10: Hey, John. 526 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 22: The way that tabs are calculated for a vehicle has 527 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 22: to do with two things. The weight of the vehicle 528 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 22: automatically makes it more expensive if it's heavier. The theory 529 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 22: is the newer the vehicle you buy, the more reliable 530 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 22: it is because it's new and you're going to drive 531 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 22: it more often. Therefore, you're going to do more wear 532 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 22: and tear on the road. That is why you shouldn't 533 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 22: pay tabs. You should pay tax for the gas that 534 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 22: you purchase. 535 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: If all that is true, and I have no reason 536 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: to believe it's not. If all that is true, does 537 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: it get any stupider than that? I stand by my 538 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: it's all arbitrary argument based off of that. If all 539 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: that's true, you're just making a bunch of just ridiculous 540 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: assumptions over the issue. 541 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 2: That's all that it is. In twenty twenty three. 542 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: The DFL sponsored to transportation bill that was meant in 543 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: part to reduce the state's reliance on the gas tax, 544 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: as other states have done by raising fees and taxes elsewhere, 545 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: like on vehicle sales and registration. The bill also indexed 546 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: the gas tax to inflation, which is now thirty two 547 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: point six cents per gallon legislative and raise fees on 548 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: electric vehicles. Legislative researchers estimate that cutting tab fees to 549 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: their pre twenty twenty three level, as Anderson's bill would do, 550 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: would cost the state seven hundred and thirty two million 551 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: dollars over the next. 552 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 2: Three fiscal years. You know what, I don't care. 553 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: First off, you're just making this Legislative researchers. You made 554 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: a staffer who did some back of the napkin math 555 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: with the calculator on their iPhone. Listen, I'm pulling from experience. 556 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: You had Governor Tim Walls during COVID that was appealing 557 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: to college students to make up the data points for 558 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: the dial on when businesses were going to be able 559 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: to be reopened. 560 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 2: Once again, Legislative researchers. 561 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: Debbil who chairs the Senate Transportation Committee and was instrumental 562 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: in passing the twenty twenty three bill that raised the 563 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: tab fees in the first place, said he has no 564 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: plans to hear a bill to reduce them. We just 565 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: have to continue to be fiscally prudent and pay for 566 00:31:52,400 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: and keep up with the roadway system. All the DFL 567 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: has to do is stop the fraud. 568 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 2: That's it. 569 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: Claw back every penny you can and pass the money 570 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: that you recouped that your party enabled to be stolen 571 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: in the first place back to the taxpayer. 572 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 19: This is all again done by the communists by design 573 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 19: make life unaffordable, so you depend upon them and vote 574 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 19: for them. They swear they will take care of it, 575 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 19: yet they never do. But you know, I blame people. 576 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 19: I do not have a high opinion of a lot 577 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 19: of people because they are suckered by this crap. 578 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 2: You get what you deserve people. 579 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: Governor Tim Walls praise the tab fee, progressive, progressive structure, 580 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: and the road and bridge projects they have funded, and 581 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: faulted the Republican bill for not presenting an alternative transportation 582 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: funding source. They never have a plan for how to 583 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: pay for things going forward. Maybe the DFL should have 584 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: thought of that in the first place when they raised 585 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: the fees, rather than just arbitrarily raising the fees. You know, 586 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: we raised all the fees, but the Republicans don't have 587 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: an answer. Republican House Transportation Committee co chair Representative John Cosnic, 588 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: who you heard in that clip earlier, said the state 589 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: General Fund should cover the difference, arguing that all Minnesotans 590 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: benefit from the state's road network. He's also not swayed 591 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: by some dflers too. Then they're pushed to boost alternatives 592 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: to driving, like as I mentioned before, public transportations and 593 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: ear ear ear bicycles. 594 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 2: Some of those policies might. 595 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: Work best in the core of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, 596 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: but they do not work across the state of Minnesota. 597 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: The co chair, Brad Tabke, said any lost revenue from 598 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,959 Speaker 1: reduced to tab fees would have to be replaced by 599 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: other progressive taxes, like a new income tax on high 600 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: earners to get DFL support. I'm all for lowering fees. 601 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: This is a wire if we replace them somewhere else. Yeah, 602 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: just take take care of the front guys. This isn't hard. 603 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: This isn't a rocket science. We know nine billion, probably 604 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: closer to nineteen billion has gone out the window. You 605 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: could easily recoup that money or just stop the fraud 606 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: in general to make up the difference. 607 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,399 Speaker 23: Yes, John, that is one hundred correct. Your taps are 608 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 23: based on how old it is and how much it weighs. 609 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 23: As the vehicle gets older, the price for the taps 610 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 23: go down. Some of these people that are saying they 611 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 23: pay only eighty five dollars, it's probably an older vehicle, 612 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 23: or yes, you're in a different state. But if you 613 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,439 Speaker 23: were to pay based on how much you drive via 614 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 23: gas tax, yeah, the more you do damage to the 615 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 23: rock by your driving, the more you would pay. 616 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 6: The less you drive, the less you would pay. 617 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that makes sense. 618 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: I just find it ridiculous that that's how that's what 619 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: they're basing this off of. It's all just a bunch 620 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: of ridiculous assumptions just to go and steal more money 621 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: from the taxpayer. New York became the first state to 622 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:13,240 Speaker 1: require owners to register their motor vehicles with the state. 623 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: License Plates were first required going back to nineteen oh one. 624 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: A little history lesson here. New York and California led 625 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,359 Speaker 1: the way at the time. Those were the first instances 626 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: and by the way of car registration in the US. Initially, 627 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: license plates were issued to last the life of the 628 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: vehicle all but by the nineteen twenties you had elected 629 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: officials that saw a way to bring in money, and 630 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 1: registration renewal became a thing. Around the nineteen fifties, license 631 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,359 Speaker 1: plate size and materials began to be standardized to what 632 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: we see today. For many decades, the DMV system has 633 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: used prison labor to meet the constant demand for new 634 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: license plates. It's estimated that eighty percent of license plates 635 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: in the United States are produced in prisons. Several of 636 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: those prisons menu at plates for multiple states. All of 637 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,919 Speaker 1: California's plates, by the way, are cut and stammed out 638 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,439 Speaker 1: of aluminum in a facility. 639 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 2: At fulsome state penitentiary. 640 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: The plant uses around one hundred and twenty inmates to 641 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: churn out over forty five thousand license plates per day. 642 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,240 Speaker 1: Many advocacy groups, including the ACOU, of course, have decried 643 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 1: the use of prison labor. What else are they going 644 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: to do? They got time, after all. Inmates frequently make 645 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: less than one dollar per hour on the job. 646 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:33,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't care. 647 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: Others argue that the skills inmates learning the system are 648 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: valuable enough on their own and will help them hold 649 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: jobs in the outside world once they're released. California, Arizona, Michigan, 650 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: and Texas have all jumped on a new bandwagon license 651 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: plates with a digital future, offering digital registration and additional 652 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: in addition to the old metal stuff. So the new 653 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:58,359 Speaker 1: variety is a small flat screen panel roughly the same 654 00:36:58,400 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: size as a traditional plate. 655 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 2: They can either be hardwired. 656 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: To the vehicle's electrical system or supplied with an internal 657 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: battery that lasts about five years. The company responsible for 658 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 1: the digital plates says they're more convenient than a traditional plate. 659 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: You can simply update the vehicle registration online and see 660 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: the change reflected on the digital screen. 661 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 2: However, it comes with. 662 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: A almost twenty dollars a month subscription charge. Oh don't 663 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: tell this to the DFL. They'll just find a way 664 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: to charge you monthly for this. They'll end up requiring 665 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: that we all go to digital plates and then force 666 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: us to pay the subscription fee. 667 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,959 Speaker 2: I'm sorry for bringing this up. My apologies, that's my bad. 668 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 2: I know. 669 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 1: Since you can renew your metal tag online for less money, 670 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: it's likely that digital tags may hold more appeal for 671 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: commercial enterprises that have to keep track of several vehicles 672 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: at a time. Businesses could also monitor locations and mileage 673 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: on their fleet with these plates. Even if the digital 674 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 1: plates take off with consumers, you'll probably be seeing older 675 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: pieces of stamped aluminum on American ripe for many years 676 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:07,800 Speaker 1: to come.

It looks 678 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: like it may not have passed out of committee. I'll 679 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 1: have an answer during Freedom Friday in studio. Max Rymer, Representative, 680 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: RNC committe Man Ak Kamara Grace Keeping from American Experiment. 681 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for hanging out on today's show. 682 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: If you missed any portion of today's broadcast, Devin, I'll 683 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: have the podcast up very shortly on the iHeartRadio app. 684 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: I hope you have a fantastic rest of your Thursday, 685 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: looking forward to the warmer temperatures around the corner, that's 686 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: for sure.
