1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Proposed bill would require new drivers twenty one in under

2
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: to take driver's head and before getting a license. Currently,

3
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: the state law mandates thirty hours of driver's education for

4
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: those seventeen another under, but the new proposal by state

5
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: Representative Andrew Myers would require every new driver to take

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: driver's education before getting behind the wheel.

7
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: And the stats seem to back up the proposal.

8
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: Eighteen to twenty years old, if you skip driver's d

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: you are seventy five percent more likely to get a

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: traffic ticket twenty four percent more likely to be involved

11
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: in a crash. I got a lot of comments that

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: rolled in I want to answer from the iHeartRadio app

13
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: talkbacks that are brought to you by Lindahl Realty. Here

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: on Twin City's News Talk. When Minneapolis resident took a

15
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: very progressive view of this, Isaac expressed uncertainty, saying, you know,

16
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: maybe we should update the road designs in high traffic areas,

17
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: might do a better job of keeping drivers safe. Fix

18
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: some of the often on rams in the city. They're

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: not big enough for people to merge on and off.

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: At the same time, I think people are getting along

21
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: just fine. I mean, Chris Williams, a youth hockey coach,

22
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: though says this thirteen year old son that he has

23
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: plans to take driver's head shared a perspective on the mandate,

24
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: saying I think it would at least make people think

25
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: a little bit when asked if the classes would make

26
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: better drivers. Williams, however, also suggested another solution for improving

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: driver's safety. Give out a lot of bus passes and

28
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: improve public transportation, and then you have a lot fewer

29
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: drivers on the road. You already have fewer drivers on

30
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: the road. Getting your driver's license doesn't carry the same

31
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: cash e as it used to when I was younger.

32
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: When I was younger, and you know this, by the

33
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: time I turned fifteen to get my learners permit and

34
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: to get my life license when I was sixteen. The

35
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: day that I turned sixteen, I won on my driver's license.

36
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: And it's simply not a priority like it used to be.

37
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: For all the reasons that we've talked about on the show,

38
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: just the changing of society. How often people are just

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: staying at home, not going out, necessitating the need to

40
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: go see friends when you can communicate via text through

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: your smartphones. I mean, there's a lot of different reasons why.

42
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: I'm very much in support of this. By the way,

43
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: I think we need to make sure that people who

44
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: are driving on the roadways or is educated and trained

45
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: as much as possible. Side note on this, and I

46
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 1: want to get to your talkbacks on here, But ever

47
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: since I got the new car, I haven't talked about

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: it very much. I mean, I still have the issue

49
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: of tailgating, but people drive like jerks around me more often.

50
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 3: I'm convinced it's because I'm driving a sport of your car.

51
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: It's the one hundred percent what it is.

52
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: I never anticipated that would be the case, but suddenly

53
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: now if there is a car that seemingly on par

54
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: with mind, listen, my car's not that fancy.

55
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: It's the keyest singer for crying out loud.

56
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: It's not We're not talking about Mercedes, a BMW or

57
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: McLaren or anything like this, right, It's just but it is,

58
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, a low profile automobile.

59
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: I think it looks cool from the back.

60
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 3: It looks great and actually have I'll tell you a

61
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: story off the air about the Stinger.

62
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: I got one for you, Okay, But.

63
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just seems like people right now they just

64
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: want to drive like jerks around me way worse than

65
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: it was when I was driving, when I was dripping junior.

66
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's go to your iHeartRadio app talkbacks.

67
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: Two things for you, John.

68
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 4: On the driver's licenses, you do not have to take

69
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 4: driver's head, but you do have to pass the test.

70
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: And I very.

71
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 4: Distinctly recall when I had to go get my Minnesota.

72
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: Oh that's right now, My apologies, we had played this

73
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: one earlier. Let's go here.

74
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 5: So John, I gotta respond to this. I grew up

75
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 5: in Minnesota in the summers through my teen years, and

76
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 5: I drove farm trucks and semis and tractors and the

77
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 5: farmers pickups when I was fourteen years old, so I

78
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 5: waited till I was eighteen so I would not have

79
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 5: to take drivers AD because when you're working for farmers,

80
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 5: you don't need a driver's license at all to drive

81
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 5: the farm equipment and the semis hauling grain.

82
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: If I didn't want to spend the money.

83
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 6: Ever, well, I totally believe that people should take drivers

84
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 6: AD before they can take their driver's test or get

85
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 6: on the road, because if you take lessons from a

86
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 6: crappy driver Heidi, a parent or a friend. That just

87
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 6: makes you a crappier driver, and I don't want to

88
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 6: meet you on the roadway.

89
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: Let's not forget that.

90
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 7: In Minnesota you also have to take a class to

91
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 7: operate a snowmobile, and now they've switched it to even

92
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 7: a boat operation, and they are a little bit different

93
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 7: for miners, you know, fourteen year olds to the eighteen

94
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 7: year olds versus eighteen and over. But yeah, there's against something.

95
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 7: We're going to have it.

96
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 8: I'll follow up on that age one for you.

97
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: John.

98
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 8: My grandma is ninety three, soon to be ninety four

99
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 8: years old, legally blind in one eye, and just passed

100
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 8: her re examination for her driver's tests, including her visual exam.

101
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 8: Explain that one Minnesota.

102
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: Okay, so we need to know where she drives most

103
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: often and then what kind of vehicle she's in. No offense,

104
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to come anywhere near driving where your

105
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: grandmother is.

106
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: Based off of your story, Hey, good morning guys.

107
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 9: John is somebody who is a truck driver and puts

108
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 9: on hundreds of miles around the Twin Cities area a day.

109
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 9: It is appalling to me that you get your driver's

110
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 9: license at sixteen and you never have to take the

111
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 9: test again in your life.

112
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: I will tell you about.

113
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 9: Seventy five percent of everybody that's on the road has

114
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 9: no idea how to drive, should lose their license today.

115
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 10: I got my driver's license in nineteen seventy seven, and

116
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 10: I was in California, and I thought it was required

117
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 10: for me to take driver's d before I got my license.

118
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 10: This is back in I think nineteen seventy seven or

119
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 10: nineteen seventy. Yeah, I got it in nineteen seventy seven

120
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 10: because I was driving when I was a junior in

121
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 10: high school. So and it was it was always my

122
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 10: impression it was mandatory back then. It's not mandatory in

123
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 10: Minnesota to have driver's head. That's interesting.

124
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: Do you remember, Sam, Do you remember the car you

125
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: took your your driver's license testing?

126
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 11: Oh?

127
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a nineteen ninety five Pontiac Grand Prix. Okay,

128
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: I didn't go for your pass first time around. No, well,

129
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: I passed the written test the first time. It took

130
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 3: me two or three tries to get to get my license.

131
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: So I I'm trying to think of which way this went.

132
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so I tried to take when I went to

133
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: go take my driver's license exam. I went to go

134
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: take it in my first off. I had to wait

135
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: because I was living in southern California at the time.

136
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: We had to wait.

137
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: A long period of time before I could end up

138
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: getting scheduled to take my driver's license test. Now, my

139
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: memory that was a long time ago, right, My memory

140
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: might not be serving me as well as I would hope,

141
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: but I do remember anticipating taking the test. So whether

142
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: it was because I was just excited to take the

143
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: test or we had to wait a long period of time,

144
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: it probably felt like a long period of time. So

145
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: I went to take the test in my dad's sixty

146
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: eight volspikeen Bug, which he had purchased he bought he

147
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: had bought brand new off the showroom floor. When we

148
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: got there, the tail one of the tail lights was out.

149
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: Oh no, and they would not let a us take

150
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: the exam in the car. I was freaking out because

151
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, I don't want to wait.

152
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: I said, well, if you can get another car to

153
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: take the test, and you can still go and take

154
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: the test today. So we drove home and we ended

155
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: up I ended up having to take my driver's license

156
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: test in our I think it was an eighty three

157
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: Volkswagen bus. I almost just sowar on the air to

158
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: parallel park that beast. I earned my right at my

159
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: driver's license for having to parallel park that sucker.

160
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: And I did end up passing by the way. That

161
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 2: was the That was the that was the good news.

162
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: Did you have to do the ninety degree back in?

163
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 12: Oh?

164
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole night? Yeah yeah, yeah, the whole the

165
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: whole nine yards. Yeah no, no, no, I was well trained, man.

166
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: All I wanted. I wanted my driver's license, and I

167
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: was gonna get it, and I got it.

168
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 13: I would like to see that requirement for drivers training

169
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 13: be extended to any potential motorist who's not held a

170
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 13: license in the United States of America, so that these

171
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 13: immigrants who've never driven elsewhere or maybe had different laws

172
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 13: where they came from, get trained on our rules and laws.

173
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: Can you transfer if you have a driver's license in

174
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: another country, do you still have to go through I

175
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I honestly don't know the answer to that,

176
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 1: whether or not you still have to go through or

177
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: what you have to go through here in the United

178
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: States if you end up immigrating here. I'm sure somebody knows.

179
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: Leave us a talk back on the iHeartRadio app. We'll

180
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: get back to a few more of your comments, and

181
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: then I want to turn our attention to Republican State

182
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: Senator Jim Abler says he's gotten an airful about the

183
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: problem relating to schools and disciplinary action taken when students

184
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: disrupt the classroom. We typically think of our schools as

185
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: safe spaces, according to the article that I have here

186
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: in front of me from Channel five, but sometimes there

187
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: are safety issues.

188
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: Inside the school with students.

189
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: They might start throwing classroom materials, flipping chairs, yelling and screaming,

190
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: said Michelle Krell, the executive director of the Minnesota Elementary

191
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: School Principals Association, and then the rest of the students

192
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: need to take cover, be evacuated from the room, and

193
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: the learning stops.

194
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 2: We'll get into this.

195
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: Coming up, because I was completely unaware of this until

196
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: late last year, that we are not removing a problem

197
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: kid from the classroom.

198
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 2: We're removing all of the other.

199
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: Students from the classroom to deal with the problem kid.

200
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: And that just seems utterly ridiculous to me. We'll get

201
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: some more of your comments as well, talkbacks on the

202
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. Next here on Twin Cities News Talk by

203

00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: More comments to share from the iHeartRadio app and regarding

206
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: this proposed bill that would require new drivers and those

207
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: twenty one and under to take a driver's head before

208
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: getting a license.

209
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 2: Don't want to talk about.

210
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: Lawmakers proposing a cooling off period for K through three

211
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: students with disciplinary problems. You're talk Back of the Day

212
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: brought to you by Mini Leaf coming up as well

213
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: here on Twin Cities News Talk.

214
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: Let's go here.

215
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 15: Hey, John, I'm just going to tell you first ten knowledge.

216
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 15: They're just pushing these people through because they are so

217
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 15: overloaded with people coming to get driver's license into the

218
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 15: state that are not of this country.

219
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 2: And as you can tell, when you're on the road,

220
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 2: you run.

221
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 15: Into them quite often because they almost run you off

222
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 15: the road.

223
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 16: Hi, good morning, great show. As always, I think with

224
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 16: the driver's ad issue, it sounds like once someone turns eighteen,

225
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 16: they need to only hold the permit for one hundred

226
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 16: and eighty days, and I don't think they need a

227
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 16: certain amount of hours during the day and night, or

228
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 16: have restrictions once they get their license for how many

229
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 16: people they can have in their car, et cetera. And

230
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 16: then it even lessens at nineteen. So it sounds like

231
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 16: there's several factors playing into the issue.

232
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: I wonder how big of a push there is for

233
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: you being able to decide the whole music when you

234
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: call vehicle services versus putting this law into effect.

235
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: For those that were listening.

236
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: Last hour to the show, and if you weren't, be

237
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: sure to check out the podcast available on the iHeartRadio

238
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: app once the show wraps up.

239
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 2: This morning.

240
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 17: Good morning, John, Josh. This is Chuck from Green Isle.

241
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 17: I also had to pass my driver's test in an

242
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 17: old Swagen van parallel park without an issue. So it

243
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 17: was a nineteen seventy two bus with a stick shift

244
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 17: and it was where I am.

245
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, say the bus that I was referring to, I

246
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: actually had to.

247
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: I texted.

248
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: I texted my dad because I wasn't We had a

249
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: we had a believe it was a seventy one camper bus,

250
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: Volkswagen camper Bus. After we had the other Volkswagen bus.

251
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: And I want to say the one bus that I

252
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: was driving. Took the test and was actually not an

253
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: eighty three. It might have been in the seventies, but

254
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: I texted him to ask, but he hasn't. He's in California.

255
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: He might still be he might still be sleeping right now.

256
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: But it too was a stick shift as well. I

257
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: got an email that rolled in, Jeff Wrights, I got

258
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: you bait. My first driver's test was taken in a

259
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine Chevy Impalla Wagon. I failed my first

260
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: test because in my parallel park the tail end hit

261
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: a snowbank.

262
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: That didn't fail me, but it did rattle.

263
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: Me, and I subsequently turned on a left turn amber arrow,

264
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: which the tester thought I should have stopped for. I

265
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: eventually passed on my second test in the same same vehicle.

266
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 18: Good morning, John. I took my driver's license in a

267
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 18: nineteen seventy six Mercury Ltd Wagons. If you want to

268
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 18: talk about a big vehicle that you have to parallel park,

269
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 18: that was a very long and wide and big vehicle.

270
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: Thankst have a good day.

271
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a boat. You had to take your driver's

272
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: test in a boat.

273
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 19: I practice driver's ed and driving in my dad's nineteen

274
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 19: ninety five suburban could not figure out how to parallel

275
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 19: park that beast. I ended up taking the test in

276
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 19: my mom's nineteen ninety six. Grand Am was terrified about

277
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 19: the parallel parking aspect.

278
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: Knew I was going to fail.

279
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 19: It ended up not having to parallel park. It got

280
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 19: past a parallel park like a king. Now it is great.

281
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: I just like the fact that he's very proud I

282
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: could parallel park like a king.

283
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: Now that's amazing.

284
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 20: Good morning, John and Sam. Regarding Minnesota driver's licenses, I

285
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 20: lived in Minnesota a licensed driver since age sixteen, moved

286
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 20: to Georgia for two years, came back, and at age

287
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 20: fifty six, I had to retake the written test for

288
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 20: the state of Minnesota to get a license again. In Minnesota.

289
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 20: When I went to Georgia did nepsake test, just had

290
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 20: to fill out the form. But in Minnesota you have

291
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 20: to retake it, even if you were licensed for decades

292
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 20: in Minnesota.

293
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 2: Make it make sense, Yeah, I was. I've told this

294
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: story before. But we'll wrap on this.

295
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: We'll take a quick break, and then we'll get into

296
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: this proposed cooling off Perigo through K through twelve of

297
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: students with disciplinary problems. We'll talk about this proposed illegal

298
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: new sanctuary state tax. It's being pedled through the legislative session.

299
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: But we were raised in a Volkswagen family, and so

300
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: many of the cars that we were driving around just

301
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: simply weren't street legal for an abundance of different reasons.

302
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: Beyond the tail light issue that I talked about earlier,

303
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: there was another car that I had didn't have a

304
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: bumper on it, and.

305
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: Things of this nature.

306
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: After I got my license, I had so many dings

307
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: on my record that the State of California was threatening

308
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: to take my driver's license away from me.

309
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: I had to write an essay to explain to them.

310
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: Because I was working as a public real estate auctioneer

311
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: at the time and to have my license taken away

312
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: from me was going to end up dramatically and adversely

313
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: affecting my livelihood. Needless to say, my essay worked and

314
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: I was able to keep my license, and it made

315
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: me a better driver too.

316
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: So there you go, all.

317
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: Right, your comments regarding the fact that our schools have

318
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: to end up pulling the entire classroom out if there

319
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: is a child that is disrupting the classroom, the measure

320
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: would end up reversing a twenty twenty three mandate that

321
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: bans suspensions from Minnesota students from kindergarten through the third grade.

322
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: This new bill would allow schools to send those students

323
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: with disciplinary problems home for a maximum of one partial

324
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: day and one full day after the incident. I'll give

325
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: you further details on this and we'll get some more

Speaker 1: By the way, we have what it means to make

00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: yourself a king with parallel parking.

366
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 10: Well yeah, but parallel parking like a king means you

00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 10: leave it in the middle of the street, doesn't it.

368

00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: that the island in Fantasy Fantasy Island?

392
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:44,320

00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: place called the Arboretum in Arcadia, southern California, And in

396
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: the Arboretum was the location where the house for Fantasy

00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: Island and the seaplane was that located. As a kid,

398
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: it was a really fantastic place. I used to go

399
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: outdoors a lot more when I was younger than I

400
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: do now.

401
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: Ricardo mantle Bond, by the way, the villain from the

402
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 3: original Naked Gun movie.

403
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: That's where I know I'm from. Okay, and was it?

404
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,520

Speaker 1: well second to jj Abram's twenty ten version.

413
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: And now I'm really getting off the subject. So thank

414
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: you Joe McDonald.

415
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: You are the talk back of the day, brought to

416
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: you by Mini Leafaniminileaf dot Com.

417
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to this story. Typically we think

418
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 2: of our schools to safe spaces.

419
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes there are safety issues inside the school with the students.

420
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: Michelle Crell, executive director of the Minnesota Elementary School Principals Association,

421
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: said they might start throwing classroom materials, flipping chairs, yelling

422
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: and screaming. Then the rest of the students seem to

423
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: take cover, be evacuated from the classroom, and then the

424
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: learning stops. Representative State Senator Jim Abler says he's gotten

425
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: a near ful about the problem. Teachers are getting injured,

426
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: other students are at risk, the whole class gets evacuated.

427
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: So in Anoka District, one hundred and forty two times

428
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: this year already, classes have been evacuated kindergarten, first, second,

429
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: third grade, thirty three in kindergarten alone, just in our district.

430
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: This blew me away when I heard about when I

431
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: heard this was the case, This is the most ridiculous solution,

432
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: in my view, you could ever come up with for

433
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: this problem. You remove the child that's causing the issue.

434
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: You don't remove the entire classroom. That's just dumb.

435
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: Abler's bill would allow schools to send those students with

436
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: disciplinary problems home for a maximum of one partial day

437
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: and one full day after the incident. Well, does this

438
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: also mandate that you remove the kid that's causing the

439
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: issue as opposed to the entire classroom. The measure would

440
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: reverse a twenty twenty three mandate that bans suspensions from

441
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: Minnesota students from kindergarten through third grade. Supporters say it

442
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: would give counselors a chance to meet with students in

443
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: those evacuated classrooms. Not only is not only lost learning,

444
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: but they also lost the sense of security and safety,

445
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: increased anxiety for students trying to learn. I know I

446
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: must be missing something on this, but to go and

447
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: evacuate the classroom is just again ridiculous. You want to

448
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: go and work on solving the problem, You remove the

449
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: child causing the problems, and that disincentivizes the rest of

450
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: the students. I just imagine students right now acting up

451
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: is simply to get their classmates remove from the classroom.

452
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: Hey, John Tiptop show this morning.

453
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 23: So my question would be if you got kids in

454
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 23: their flip and tail and everybody has to get evacuated

455
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 23: and then the learning stops, is what she says no, no, no, no, no,

456
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 23: there was never any learning going on in that classroom.

457
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 23: Oh my goodness, gracious, that just sounds like an anxiety

458
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,959
Speaker 23: stress vest for all the kids. They are not focused

459
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 23: on anything that's going on on that board. They're waiting

460
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 23: for the next kid to pop off.

461
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 11: So on the students being removed from classrooms. I have

462
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 11: a wife who worked as a pair of in schools locally,

463
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 11: and at least in our schools, they have staff on

464
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 11: call that anytime a student is creating an issue in

465
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 11: the classroom, they simply radio that staff. They come and

466
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 11: remove the student and take them to a separate space

467
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 11: in the school for their cool down and reprimands.

468
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the way that that's the way that it's

469
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: should happen. All right, hold on real quick, Hey, Sam,

470
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: I got I need to do a little research for me. Okay,

471
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: completely off of this particular topic, but I have a

472
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: talk back that can you double check for me to

473
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: make sure that Ricardo Monto Bonds was wearing a prosthetic

474
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: chest in Wrath of Khan. Somebody has challenged me on

475
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: this and I am ninety nine point nine percent sure

476
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: that was the case.

477
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 2: So if would you mind googling that five. Yeah, it

478
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 2: sure goes my search history. Hey, John Cohn is not

479
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 2: wearing a fake muscular chest. That's not a prosthetic, that's

480
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: a real chest.

481
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're gonna work. We're gonna Sam's gonna find

482
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: this out. We do have other things to talk about,

483
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: but Sam is going to go.

484
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: I googled his name in Khan and then Autophil put

485
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 3: in chest, So of course more to come on because.

486
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: He's wearing a prosthetic chest.

487
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: That's why, getting back to the story, the proposed bill,

488
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: which would take effect in the twenty twenty six twenty

489
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: seven school years, still maintains that expulsions and exclusions can

490
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: only be used as a last resort, that after resources

491
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: have been utilized, and only when there is a serious

492
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: and ongoing safety threat to other to students or others.

493
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: I hate the ambiguity with all of this. If there

494
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: is any threat, they shouldn't have to be ongoing, Krell says.

495
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 2: My hope is that they pass.

496
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: It gives us the opportunity to create safe spaces for

497
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: our kids when necessary, not as the first resort, but

498
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: as a last resort.

499
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 24: There's many times where my better half comes home with

500
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 24: bruises and teeth marks because of the kids that are

501
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 24: in the classroom. One of the things that she talks

502
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 24: about is ninety percent of the problems with the kids

503
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 24: are the parents.

504
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: The other piece is they can't touch them.

505
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 24: That's why they don't remove them from the classroom. If illegal,

506
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 24: their hands are tied.

507
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 25: Children who misbehave in schools should have to have their

508
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 25: parents sit with them for the next three days in class,

509
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 25: in every class, follow them everywhere they go. And I

510
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 25: think that might help the problem significantly. If parents have

511
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 25: to take time off of work and sit with their

512
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 25: child who doesn't know how to behave because the parent

513
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 25: didn't teach them how to behave properly.

514
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 26: If they're using the same playbook as the anti gun establishment,

515
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 26: punish the law binding people and ignore those that are

516
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 26: causing the problems.

517
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: Well and again, this mentality permeates to so much of

518
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: the commentary that we have of trying to solve, you know,

519
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: a lot of different problems.

520
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 2: We had the story earlier.

521
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: Regarding the driver's licenses where the person interviewed in the

522
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: story was like, well, you.

523
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: Know what, I'm not saying.

524
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: It's a bad idea that we require drivers at for

525
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: these younger drivers. But maybe it's unnecessary and we just

526
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: need to go out there and make the roads wider.

527
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 2: That's right.

528
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: Don't try to get the individuals driving the cars better

529
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: trained to actually operate the automobile. No, we're going to

530
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: spend millions of dollars adjusting the roads to cater to

531
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: bad drivers.

532
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 21: So we've got fired drills, tornado drills, ice drills, and

533
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 21: naughty child drills.

534
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 2: So I wonder the state tests for the soul. Well,

535
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 2: all right, so before we have a couple of things

536
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: to talk about before we go, I have emails that

537
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 2: are rolling in. Chad is also challenging me on this.

538
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: Am I right or wrong about Ricardo Montobah's chest in

539
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: Star Trek two The Wrath of Car.

540
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 3: So, according to the director Nicholas Meyer, his chest was real.

541
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 3: He showed up on set all right, in peak physical condition,

542
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 3: and they just added makeup to enhance the features.

543
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: Okay, So I was wrong. I was absolutely wrong.

544
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: I was probably conflating it with Sigourney Weaver because she

545
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: also had a prosthetic test in Galaxy. Question that I

546
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: know for sure because I watched the documentary on that.

547
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: But I was I was so positive, so had tip

548
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: to Ricardo Montebonford putting forth the effort.

549
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 12: Well, that's true. Ricardo was a pretty tough dude. He

550
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 12: actually was last size when he portrayed cog So the myth,

551
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 12: the man on the legend.

552
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'm glad you put that that one to bed.

553
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: And I'm a talk show host that can admit what

554
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. My apologies guys for putting out bad information.

555
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: I will sleep easier tonight, I know everybody. Everybody will,

556
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: and I will probably get more emails on that and

557
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: the number of and the type of vehicles that people

558
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: went and took the driver's license test, and then I

559
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 1: do anything else.

560
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, what I love about our listeners, no

561
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 3: doubt about that at all.

562
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 2: There's something to be said about it, but I'm not

563
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: going to get into it now. Let's go here. Hey,

564
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 2: happy Monday morning, John.

565
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 27: Yeah, my grandson has that same problem in school. But

566
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 27: what it is, it's more like DEI. They tend to

567
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 27: like put these autistic children in there that are very disruptive,

568
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 27: and then the kids themselves have to deal with these

569
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 27: autistic kids with their outbursts. I just remember when we

570
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 27: were in school, they were the helmet patrol.

571
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: Well, and to that point, you're not the only one

572
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: to key in on this particular issue.

573
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 28: A lot of these students that are causing the issues

574
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 28: are special head students. Back in my day, special ed

575
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 28: students were not just intertwined in a regular classroom because

576
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 28: of these disruptions. But now, because we want them to

577
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 28: feel like humans, we allow them to be in the classroom,

578
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 28: and that just messes it up for everyone else. There's

579
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 28: got to be a different way.

580
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: So thank you for all the comments this morning. Greatly

581
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: appreciate it. From the iHeart Radio app. Before we wrap

582
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: things up, I'm going to move a couple of stories

583
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: to tomorrow. Specifically, on tomorrow's show, we will get into

584
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: the dfellow's proposed illegal news sanctuary sanctuary state tax, also

585
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: a proposed forty million dollar rental assistant to package. Let's

586
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: wrap up on these two stories. Following up on last week,

587
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: we talked about this on the Freedom Friday Show. A

588
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: Minnesota House hearing about the misclassification of workers at the

589
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: state capitol this week somehow turned into a kerfuffle as

590
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: Channel five states about the benefit of shoplifting. So during

591
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: the presentation, Republican Representative Isaac Schultz asked if any studies

592
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: had been done about employers having to pay higher wages

593
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: and benefits leading to higher prices. I wonder if, through

594
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: our studies, if you'd study the impact of worker misclassification

595
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: to consumer taxpayer. Schultz ast he was told that they

596
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: had not studied that and that the state law requires

597
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: workers to be properly classified. Schultz says he's not suggesting

598
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: workers be misclassified, he's just once a full picture of

599
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: what's happening. Minutes later, Representative Dave A. Pinto Dfler out

600
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: of Saint Paul, the committee co chair, compared blaming higher

601
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: work pay for causing higher prices to impact shoplifting and

602
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: what it has on higher prices. He says, it would

603
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: probably have been good to make sure that they would

604
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: study the benefits of shoplifting and retail theft, because perhaps

605
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: people are relying on that and using that and maybe

606
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: it's assisting them in some way.

607
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: So this story blew up. It ended up going viral.

608
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: When asked for comment, Pinto declined to do an on

609
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: camera interview, but issued a written statement said my comments

610
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: were tended to be sarcastic. Following the line of questioning

611
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: from Representative Isaac Schultz. They were in no way, shape

612
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: or form meant to be sarcastic. He was absolutely serious.

613
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: He's only saying that because the kerfuffle, as Channel five explains,

614
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: ended up gaining a lot of attention. To that point,

615
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: Minnesota State Representative Krista Khannutsen talked about this very issue

616
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: and what actually had transpired. Here is audio that she

617
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: posted on her account on x Hey.

618
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 29: Minnesota State Representative Krista Knutson. So today in the Labor Committee,

619
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 29: Representative Dave Pinto requested a study for the benefits of shoplifting.

620
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 29: There are no benefits to shoplifting for the people that

621
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 29: are being shoplifted from. I have no idea what else

622
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 29: to say.

623
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: I'm shopped Actually, I.

624
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 18: Don't even know what to say.

625
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 28: Who I don't know what to say.

626
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 2: Who benefits from shoplifting?

627
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 18: The criminals?

628
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 29: Once again, the criminals benefit from shoplifting. Please take a

629
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 29: look at the comments to see for yourself.

630
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 2: It is an intriguing line of questions. Several of us

631
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 2: are in the Public Safety Committee.

632
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 30: Yesterday there was a presentation of a group seeking to

633
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 30: change how we address organize retail theft, and it actually

634
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 30: had not occurred to me to ask. It probably would

635
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 30: have been good to make sure that they would study

636
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 30: sort of the benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft,

637
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 30: because perhaps people are relying on that and sort of

638
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 30: using that. Maybe it's you know, assisting them in some way.

639
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 30: I mean, these folks were describing people violating the law,

640
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 30: but I suppose it could be useful to look into that.

641
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 30: But ultimately a policy question, right, we do want to

642
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 30: make sure when we have a law in place where

643
00:34:59,000 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 30: we're enforcing it.

644
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: There was not a hint of sarcasm in any of

645
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: what he said.

646
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 2: I don't get why Democrats just don't just own it.

647
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: Your base doesn't care. Just own it.

648
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 1: It's your excuse, and it's what you will use when

649
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: trying to go and explain what's had taken place regarding

650
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: fraud the behavior of your base of supporters individuals.

651
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 2: Again, it's that idea, and we talked about this at

652
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 2: Linked on Friday.

653
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: It's that idea that you are inherently good and that

654
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: you only make bad decisions because of outside influences. There

655
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 1: was nothing sarcastic about that at all. We'll end on this.

656
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 1: Maybe the Tourism Board for Minneapolis can use this as

657
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 1: a new means to lure tourists to Minneapolis.

658
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 2: From Fox nine.

659
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: Minneapolis Only Fans subscribers have helped the city secure a

660
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: top spot for content consumption on the site Oh Yeah,

661
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: I can believe It, ranking it in fifth place in

662
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: the entire country per capita spending. The city's per capita

663
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: spending intensely is a whopping four point four percent higher

664
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: than the national average. Minnesota among top five only Fans

665
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: spenders per capita in the country. So Minneapolis residents spent

666
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 1: a combined total of fourteen point three million in twenty

667
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: twenty five. That amounts to three hundred and thirty seven

668
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty eight dollars per ten thousand residents,

669
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: and that was enough for it to earn fifth place nationally.

670
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: According to the data, Minneapolis residents spent about thirty nine

671
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a day on OnlyFans, and that was more

672
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: than any other city in the Midwest. Of all of Minnesota,

673
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 1: they spent a total of forty seven point nine million,

674
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: ranking seventeenth out of all fifty states.

675
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 8: For all of
