It's all quicksands. 18 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 4: Twin City's News Talk on a Freedom Friday, the thirteenth. 19 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 4: Representative Max Reimer ak Kamara, RNC Committeeman is in studio 20 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 4: with us. We were just having a conversation of the 21 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 4: air talking about those two terrorists attack. I had the 22 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 4: synagogue attack and of course the attack at Old Dominion University. 23 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 4: You were adding, you were adding a little bit of 24 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 4: an interesting insight into the background of the shooter, given 25 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 4: your own experience there. 26 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 5: Ak Yeah, So when I saw the last name Jalloh 27 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 5: j A L l o h for the old dominion, 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 5: I mediate was like, Oh, that's someone from Serri Leone 29 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 5: or at least here Leone lineage, because it's a very 30 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 5: very common last name, just like Kamara is. 31 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: And the thing that's. 32 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 5: Fascinating is when you think about Islam and all the 33 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 5: terrorism that stems from all of these Islamic countries, you 34 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 5: don't really see that in Siri Leone. So like, even 35 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 5: within my family, my grandfather was Muslim and he married 36 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 5: a Christian woman. All of the men my dad's brothers 37 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 5: all have Islamic names, Arab names, all of the women 38 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 5: all have Christian names. So like I have an aunt 39 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 5: named Christiana Teresa. My grandmother was named Cecilia, sister named Princess, 40 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 5: another aunt named Elizabethisa Christiana. Point is that and Teresa? 41 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, anyways, the point is is. 42 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 5: That in Siri Leone that is very common where you 43 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 5: have split religious households. So I can't really think of 44 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 5: any other Siri Leonians that have committed acts of terrorism, 45 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 5: but if you go to Nigeria, they have Boko Haram. 46 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: Serri Leone doesn't have that problem. 47 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 5: But there's just kind of this very interesting dynamic where 48 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 5: who knows man. I mean, this guy came here, I 49 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 5: imagine as a kid, probably because you know, Cyrilone had 50 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 5: a civil war in nineteen ninety three, and based off 51 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 5: of his age and apparently you must have been radicalized here. 52 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 5: But like, it's just it's just fascinating to see that 53 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 5: Islamic terrorism is still a still a threat, even though 54 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 5: people try to pretend that it's not. 55 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. 56 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 4: In the meantime, you've got congressional Democrats that continue refuse 57 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 4: to go and fund DHS because they're still complaining about 58 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 4: ice in the midst of all of this, And it's 59 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 4: something I'm going to talk about on Monday when Andrew 60 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 4: Langer joins us, and you know, just how much danger 61 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 4: are we in by keeping this funding from from DHS, 62 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 4: especially in light of these things attack. 63 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: Let's get back to a few of your thoughts though. 64 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 4: On a Freedom Friday from the iHeartRadio app talk and 65 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 4: Paid Family Medical Leave last hour. 66 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 6: Talking about this family paid medically by this state. A 67 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 6: lot of the people in Minnesota are union members, and 68 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 6: I know a lot of them, and what the unions 69 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 6: do is they force things onto their union members. 70 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: Because it's good. 71 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: And when you talk to them, like. 72 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 6: They take money out for vacation, which is great, but 73 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 6: they can't opt out of it because they say, oh, well, 74 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 6: if we didn't take the money out for vacation, they 75 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 6: wouldn't do it and they'd never have a vacation. So 76 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 6: it's the right thing to do to force them to 77 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 6: put money away. So this is how these idiots think. 78 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: And again I just use the word it's infuriating. 79 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, and not speaking specifically to union labor, but when 80 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: you have policies like this, AKA covered it a little 81 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 3: bit last segment, but it really feeds into this war 82 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 3: on productivity, this war on work as a virtue, where 83 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: work is like a necessary evil at this point. And 84 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 3: the dangerous part about that is we find ourselves we 85 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: talk about we need illegal immigrants to come in and 86 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 3: do the jobs that Americans won't do, or you talk 87 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 3: about AI is going to replace your jobs. Well, it's 88 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 3: because this mentality has conditioned people to become replaceabull Yeah, right. 89 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 2: We used to have kind of a. 90 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 3: Pride in our job, a pride in our labor, even 91 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 3: if we didn't make the most money. That we possibly could, 92 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 3: but now it has become labor is the thing you 93 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 3: put up with, and when you have paid family medical 94 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 3: leave and these other policies which disincentivize you becoming a 95 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: productive member of society. That's where the canard comes in 96 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 3: that we need illegals to take your job. That's where 97 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 3: the canard comes in that AI needs to replace your job, 98 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 3: or we need to bring in overseas legal Indian labor 99 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 3: to replace your job so we can pay them less. 100 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 3: It's it's a corporate Uh, it's core, it's corporate initiative. 101 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 3: But at the same time, when we as Americans don't 102 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 3: view labor like we used to and policies like this 103 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 3: do that you become replaceable. 104 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a huge problem. 105 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know, we used to have this 106 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 5: saying and people still use it. But like being a 107 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 5: jack of all trades, I've always fancied myself that I'm 108 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 5: a jack of all trades, but it seems like everyone's 109 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 5: becoming a jack of all trades and then it no 110 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 5: longer matters anymore. And I think it's to your point though, Max, 111 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 5: Like we used to have for the majority of human history, 112 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 5: from when we decided to no longer be hunter gatherers 113 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 5: and you know, living as a peasant class. 114 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 2: When people said I'm gonna. 115 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 5: You know, own the means of production, and capitalism became 116 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 5: a thing you were able to say, all right, I'm 117 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 5: going to have the things that I like to do, 118 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 5: raise a family, be a member of my community, but 119 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 5: I'm going to be really good at the skill set 120 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 5: that can actually help build up the economy. Now we're 121 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 5: at a point where people are like, I hate doing 122 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 5: any job. All I want to do is do the 123 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 5: fun thing. The crazy part is you can do the 124 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 5: fun thing for certain percentage of the population as long 125 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 5: as it generates some type of economic production and value, 126 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 5: so we can continue to have a thing. So I 127 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 5: think that ultimately the leftists are using that to try 128 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 5: and push their ultimate goal of getting rid of everything 129 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 5: by doing things like you're saying, Max, if you bring 130 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 5: in illegal aliens and then you say to the average person, 131 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 5: do you want to go do that job? People like 132 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,559 Speaker 5: absolutely not. So therefore I'm going to be in favor 133 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 5: of the illegal aliens. But if we get away from 134 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 5: this entire mindset that we have an economic output that 135 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 5: every individual must contribute to in order for us to 136 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 5: continue to be a successful society. We move away from 137 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 5: that and we give that up, then the government will 138 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 5: necessarily be the ones to step in and take over. 139 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 5: And it never works, It always falls apart because idle hands, right, 140 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 5: like that whole adage, idle hands are the devil's plaything. 141 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 5: If you don't have a purpose that you're working towards 142 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 5: on every single day basis, then you will have disarray 143 00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 5: in your societal cohesion. 144 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 2: And that's the point that. 145 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 3: I wanted to just jump on before we move on, 146 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 3: is it's an economic output, it's actually a spiritual output. 147 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 3: It's a product of the heart and of sacrifice and 148 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 3: knowing that your day's labor was part of like your 149 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 3: spiritual sanctification, so to speak. And because we're getting away 150 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 3: from that, that is why UBI and these programs are 151 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: actually dangerous. It's not the economic output. It's what happens 152 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 3: to our souls as Americans if we just have the 153 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 3: government paying our everyday wage and you have nothing that 154 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: you're working towards to accomplish. 155 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 4: Well, and to your point, listen to this from the 156 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 4: iHeartRadio app on a Freedom Friday. 157 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: Hi, John and company. 158 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 7: My kids are in their twenties and thirties, and I 159 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 7: have hammered into their heads since they were a teenagers 160 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 7: that you need to be the one doing that little 161 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 7: bit extra every day and it comes to being a 162 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 7: good employee to stand above the rest.

And Max, you were talking about 283 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 4: it earlier, just how you know, just like kind of 284 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 4: stunned that you were over the fact that they're not 285 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 4: even they're not even attempting any sort of rational argument whatsoever. 286 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 2: It's just straight up lies. 287 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 3: And just for a minute here, because I know you 288 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 3: guys covered it already, but on my x feed, Max 289 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 3: R Rhymer, you can go down because I felt the 290 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 3: need to speak on this particular bill because what it 291 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 3: is is it is not It is by definition not 292 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 3: even school choice. 293 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 9: Right. 294 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 3: The federal government created a tax credit scholarship program that 295 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 3: states can choose to opt into. Now, if a state 296 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 3: opts in taxpayers can donate money to approved what we 297 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 3: call SGOs and then receive a tax credit up to 298 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 3: seventeen hundred dollars. So this costs you nothing. This costs 299 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 3: schools nothing. Basically, you mark a box on your tax 300 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 3: form and you designate which school you want the money 301 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 3: to go to, and that school gets seventeen hundred dollars 302 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 3: to do with what they will students, support, supplies for 303 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 3: the classroom, anything like that. And guess what, it's not 304 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 3: just private schools. It's not just charter schools. Public schools 305 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 3: are included in this program. This is not school choice, 306 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 3: This is not a voucher program. And ninety percent of 307 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 3: the kids who go to school in Minnesota go to 308 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 3: a public school. 309 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 2: So all I'm saying is. 310 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 3: When you have the Sydney Jordan video, come out and 311 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 3: say we stopped the voucher program, will support our public schools, 312 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 3: that is not what's happening here. And in the testimony 313 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 3: that I spoke at, you would think that we were 314 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 3: just reading two different pieces of text. The DFL was 315 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 3: lying so blatantly about this. 316 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 4: Well, and that was that was what I wanted to 317 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 4: ask you, Because we played the entirety of the three 318 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 4: minutes that you spoke from earlier this week, and I 319 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 4: was curious, was there any you know, explanation as to 320 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 4: how it was they were saying what they were saying, 321 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 4: even though nothing it was it was just categorically false. 322 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 3: No, they kept asserting that this is going to block 323 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 3: black kids and disabled kids from going to school. 324 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: That was their assertion. 325 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 3: Just something totally out of left field, and you guys 326 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 3: will get a kick out of this. They went so 327 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 3: far as to say, this is the Democrat Party in Minnesota. 328 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 3: We are concerned about fraud in this program, and we 329 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 3: are concerned about the federal budget deficit. 330 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 2: Come on, you can't make it up. This is the DFL. 331 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 5: This is what's so insane, Like, I think the left 332 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 5: has gone to the point that they will literally just 333 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 5: create things out of hole cloth nothingness just to gin 334 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 5: up their base.

For Republicans to attack her, 341 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 5: and then I watched it.

I'm 358 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 4: convinced they shot that the way that they did and 359 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 4: intentionally just to invite the ratio, knowing that we're gonna 360 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,959 Speaker 4: spew a bunch of lies. But the comments are going 361 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 4: to be filled by what a lunatic representative Sidney Jordan 362 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 4: looks like in this in this video, it's all superficial. 363 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 4: But if you're trying to go and make a point, 364 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 4: you don't use that individual. You don't shoot it that way, 365 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 4: you don't have them look that way. It was completely 366 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 4: and totally intentionally designed to provoke that type of commentary 367 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 4: from the right. 368 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not the only one that though. 369 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 5: And the last part of it is I think the 370 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 5: reason that they use it as beta is because they 371 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 5: were hoping that there'd be a couple of Republicans and 372 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 5: state reps that would attack the way that she looks, 373 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 5: so then they can cut their Yeah sure, yeah, absolutely, 374 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 5: evil misogynist Republicans attacking a woman's feelings and. 375 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: Just why everybody's clear. 376 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 4: The podcast will be available so if the show is 377 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 4: over today on the iHeart radio app. All right, we're 378 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 4: gonna get to a new technology growing in popularity during 379 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 4: summer months across Minnesota, emotos. 380 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 2: I didn't realize they'd gotten a new designation.

Under HF thirty seven eighty five, 457 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 4: the definition of motor vehicle doing that thing with my 458 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 4: fingers would be redefined to include any battery operated electric 459 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 4: motorcycle that was not originally manufactured for on road operation. 460 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 4: The added regulation would extend to licensing requirements, effectively adding 461 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 4: an e moto as a motorcycle under Minnesota statutes. Going forward, 462 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 4: the bill would begin to limit the machines themselves in Minnesota, 463 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 4: reducing battery powered top speeds from thirty to twenty miles 464 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 4: an hour, the maximum weight limit from five hundred to 465 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 4: one hundred pounds, and throttle motor output between seven fifty 466 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 4: and fifteen hundred watts. It would also prohibit the operation 467 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 4: of any emoto that doesn't meet the add of requirements 468 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 4: and restrict the sale of those that are not third 469 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 4: party certified as compliance. 470 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 2: So it's a friend of yours. 471 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 3: I'm not sure if it's that bill, but I will 472 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 3: say I had a I had a conversation. 473 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 474 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 3: So Tom Deppel, he's a good representative. He's out of 475 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 3: Cottage Grove. He's running for state Senate, so google him. 476 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 3: He's one of one of my favorite ones in the state. 477 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 3: House with me, but he was telling me about a 478 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 3: situation where the kids were riding him on the sidewalk 479 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 3: and brutally injured, brutally injured a woman. 480 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jennett stottco it's in the story. Yeah. 481 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 3: So it's one of those things where I even in 482 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 3: like my own neck of the woods, you see these 483 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 3: kids doing pop wheelies and there are thirteen fourteen year 484 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 3: old kids and you see them cruising down the road 485 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 3: or cruising down the sidewalk in these I think it's 486 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 3: a clarification. I'm like, hey, what type of vehicle is this? Right, 487 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 3: we're not talking. Is it a dirt bike? Because dirt 488 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 3: bikes are falling to the same regulation, and you know 489 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 3: it's not a bicycle. 490 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 2: You can't ride these on the sidewalk. 491 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 4: The Emoto more closely resembles an electronic excuse me, electric 492 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 4: dirt bike or a motorcycle. Well, a Class three E 493 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 4: bike provides pedal assistance up to twenty eight miles per 494 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 4: hour and is typically restricted to seven hundred and fifty 495 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 4: watt motors. So I would be curious the comparison with 496 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 4: your traditional gas powered motorcycles in terms of the manufacturer limitations. 497 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,959 Speaker 4: That's where My issue comes in I would rather, at 498 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 4: least on its face, see the legislation focused on where 499 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 4: the vehicles can operate over forcing changes at the manufacturer level. 500 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 4: That's the concern that I have with so, but again 501 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 4: I haven't spent a ton of time on it. 502 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the biggest things. 503 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 5: I like how the bill originally was being read, at 504 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 5: least in the story of saying that this kind of 505 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 5: will open up from a regulatory standpoint, the ability for 506 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 5: both insurance and licensing requirements to be able to be extended, 507 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 5: because that's one of the big parts is that a 508 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 5: lot of people have questions and you have to talk 509 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 5: to your insurance agent. Most of the time you're not 510 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 5: going to be able to get any of this covered 511 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,479 Speaker 5: under an automobile policy, and a lot of times it's 512 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 5: actually excluded from your homeowner's insurance, so unless there's a 513 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 5: specific endorsement. So I like the beginning of that, But 514 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 5: then the second part of the story and the bill 515 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 5: in regards to then regulating how fast it can go 516 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 5: and wattage, that's where I'm like, yeah, I don't like 517 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 5: that because people are still going to go and buy 518 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 5: it from other states. So now you own an illegal 519 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 5: e bike and then what. 520 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 4: Happens, Yeah, the limit on the machines themselves, I mean 521 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 4: having to go and reduce the battery power, top speeds, 522 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 4: the maxim them, wait in the throttle output. I mean again, 523 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 4: that to me is when you're you're messing with the manufacturing, 524 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 4: free market aspect of it. I have no problem with 525 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,719 Speaker 4: limiting the usage because I've talked about this before. 526 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 2: I've seen these vehicles. 527 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 4: Zipping on the roads and we actually got into a 528 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 4: conversation just months and months ago about that this is 529 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 4: what I was referring to, because I think most people 530 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 4: thought that I was referring to you're more no, you're 531 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 4: more traditional e bikes. Oh okay, that that people ride, 532 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 4: And that's not what I was I was referring to 533 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 4: these here because yeah, I mean when they're I mean 534 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 4: the should not be. 535 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 2: Running on a sidewalk. I mean they're they're ridiculously, ridiculously fast. 536 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 4: So I'm wonder there's a middle ground here where we can, 537 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 4: you know, establish rules in terms of where they can 538 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 4: operate while not going and disrupting the manufacturing aspect of it. 539 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 3: I'll just say Tom Depel, I trust him as a 540 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 3: he is truly a defender of individual liberties. 541 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 11: You know. 542 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 3: So, however this bill is crafted, I guarantee you that 543 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 3: a lot of that stuff is being taken into account. 544 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 3: I trust implicitly Tom Depel on something like this. 545 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 2: Here's a hint. 546 00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 5: Why don't you make it a legal for the kid 547 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 5: to ride, not the responsible adults. 548 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 2: I have a great day by now. 549 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 3: I think I think it's mostly kids riding these things, 550 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 3: at least the ones that I've seen. 551 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 5: It's like fourteen year old kids at least irresponsibly. But 552 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,719 Speaker 5: like it comes down to, you know, where are your kids? 553 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 5: What kind of parenting are you doing? Yeah, you should 554 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 5: probably figure that out a little bit better, you know. 555 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 4: It was It's interesting to see there's been this. This 556 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 4: is all anecdotal, but I've seen this. I've seen a 557 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 4: lot of comment erry around what you just mentioned. I 558 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 4: saw a post the other day that had gone viral, 559 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 4: and it was basically asking what are your favorite aspects 560 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 4: of the late eighties into the early nineties. I posted 561 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 4: on there and I said, you know, life before you 562 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 4: know the proliferation of the Internet and social social media 563 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 4: because we didn't end up getting you know, the internet 564 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 4: came around ninety six, really into Prominence and Homes ninety 565 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 4: six ninety seven. We ended up I haven't spent a 566 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 4: lot of time talking about this, but last weekend I 567 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 4: ended up at the maple Wood Mall twice. Really there's 568 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 4: a new toy consignment store, Kryptoy Exchange. Just the selection 569 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 4: there was incredible in terms of the number of items, 570 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 4: especially for Star Wars fans.

It's not anymore. Like if you 669 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 4: go and say I'm bored, someone's gonna go and look 670 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 4: at you cross eyed. They're gonna go. There's a thousand 671 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 4: things that you can go and entertain yourself with. Like 672 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 4: that's so the concept of boredom just does not exist anymore. 673 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 5: To the point that it's not that you're bored, it's 674 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 5: that you're lazy. And the reason that there's a distinction 675 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 5: is because boredom implies there's literally nothing else to do 676 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 5: that either you have the capacity to be your ability 677 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 5: to do, or you've done it so many times that 678 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 5: there's no longer enjoyment between all of the streaming services, 679 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 5: and you could even start jumping over genres. And it's 680 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 5: like my mother in law, she's famous for doing this. 681 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 5: She'll be like, you know, my wife's side of the 682 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 5: family all call me AB instead of AK. 683 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 2: They call me AB. 684 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 5: And she'll be like, what's a good show that you 685 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 5: think I would like to watch.

So it's because you're lazy. It's not 691 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 2: because you're bored. 692 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 5: You're just lazy to go and like search what is 693 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 5: the thing that I have never done that I would 694 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 5: want to try and see what that's like? 695 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 2: Amen to that, John.
