00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Monday, I had the opportunity to head to Parker, South

2
00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Dakota for the Turner County Fair. It's a free fair

3

6
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.199
<v Speaker 1>I had the chance to sit in the Vote No

7
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>in November booth, and I caught up with Chris Larson.

<v Speaker 1>Sde excited to be at the Turner County Fair. And

18
00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>I am in the Vote No in November booth right now,

19
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 1>and I'm here with Chris Larson, he's the chairman of

20
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Vote No in November. And there's several different issues here.

21
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>But first of all, Chris, thanks for taking the time

22
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:06.439
<v Speaker 1>to chat with me.

23
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.000
<v Speaker 5>Sir oh, I'm just so glad you could join us

24
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 5>in our booth. It's been a great time at the

25
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:11.560
<v Speaker 5>fair today.

26
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.680
<v Speaker 1>It has been The fair is just getting started today.

27
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>It goes all week long, and when you're out and about,

28
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.920
<v Speaker 1>be sure to stop in Commercial building number two. And

29
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.079
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of way towards the end you're going to

30
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 1>find this booth. And it's really it's a nonpartisan booth.

31
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>People on both sides of the isle are supporting things

32
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 1>that are happening in the Vote No on November booth.

33
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 1>So let's take these one at a time. Let's start

34
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 1>with vote No on H. Since on the poster that's

35
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 1>on the top, what is vote no on H? And

36
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>what is the what is H all about?

37
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.200
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'll try to keep it simple because what our

38
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 5>group vote no in November. Our website is vote no

39
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 5>sd dot com. And what we're trying to do is

40
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 5>help people get more information on all four of the issues.

41
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:53.359
<v Speaker 6>And so.

42
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.640
<v Speaker 5>We'll start with the H. That's the one that people

43
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 5>know the least amount. We just call it the primary.

44
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 5>It's it would cause create more of the California style

45
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 5>primaries what they call jungle primaries in South Dakota.

46
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 6>But overall, there's a lot.

47
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 5>Of misinformation around these each of these issues, and there's

48
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.960
<v Speaker 5>a lot around this one, and there's a lot of

49
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 5>industry and money to be made if any of these pass.

50
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.000
<v Speaker 5>So anytime there's a lot of money to be made,

51
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.919
<v Speaker 5>you have really good, slick marketing, you know, campaigns behind it.

52
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.439
<v Speaker 5>So there's a lot of marketing around this that we're

53
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 5>trying to make it sound like open primaries would be

54
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 5>more inclusive and blah blah blah. But the fact is

55
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.120
<v Speaker 5>anybody can vote in a primary now. But we have

56
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 5>primaries for a reason. We have parties for a reason.

57
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.439
<v Speaker 5>And if you're trying to vote for the best Republican

58
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 5>that you think, you should have Republicans voting in that,

59
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.319
<v Speaker 5>not you know, Democrats. You don't want Democrats voting for

60
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 5>Republican candidates. That just doesn't make sense.

61
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:54.240
<v Speaker 3>And that goes both ways.

62
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure the Democrats don't want Republicans voting for the

63
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:58.319
<v Speaker 1>Democrat candidates either exactly.

64
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.960
<v Speaker 5>And on the Democrats side, what we've heard is in

65
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 5>a lot of the counties, especially West Rivers, some of

66
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.319
<v Speaker 5>the rural ones, the Democrats wouldn't even be able to

67
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 5>run a candidate because they would have no shot to

68
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:10.240
<v Speaker 5>get in the top two.

69
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.120
<v Speaker 6>So it would basically.

70
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.520
<v Speaker 5>Destroy the whole idea of what a primary is and

71
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 5>so and the other thing is it would turn South

72
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.159
<v Speaker 5>Dakota into being more like California. And I think that's

73
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 5>the main theme here, like we're not a necessarily political organization.

74
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm just a volunteer. Everyone involved in this is volunteers.

75
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 5>We don't have any politicians that are involved in this

76
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:35.960
<v Speaker 5>campaign necessarily, and so we're not trying to help any

77
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 5>party do anything. We're just trying to help the citizens.

78
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 5>You know, most people I ask, I say do you

79
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 5>like South Dakota the way it is? Do you like

80
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.120
<v Speaker 5>South Dakota? And they say yes. I said, okay, then

81
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.520
<v Speaker 5>vote no in November on all four of the issues.

82
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Now, we've talked quite a bit about H. That's the

83
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 1>first one on the page that you have here. And again,

84
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the thing that I think is fascinating about H is

85
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 1>I see people on both sides of the aisle both

86
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.199
<v Speaker 1>saying vote no on H. People from the Democratic Party

87
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>statewide campaign are saying vote no. I'm seeing people on

88
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 1>the Republican side saying vote no. So this is one

89
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 1>that I think that one is kind of the easy

90
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>no for everybody because most people agree that that probably

91
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 1>should be a nun.

92
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And for me, I think the biggest danger of

93
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 5>H passing would be that it introduces more corruption, more bribeability,

94
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 5>is the way I put it. Get You get candidates

95
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.600
<v Speaker 5>that are going to get more money from special interest

96
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 5>more out of state money, which is that's really what's

97
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.639
<v Speaker 5>pushing this is out of state money has come in

98
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 5>and pushing this. So you're going to have candidates that

99
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.360
<v Speaker 5>are more willing to quote unquote you know, get things done.

100
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:44.319
<v Speaker 5>They'll serve their donor class by getting more campaign donation donations,

101
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.720
<v Speaker 5>and then they'll be at the beck and call of

102
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.319
<v Speaker 5>their donor class. So they have to serve the people that

103
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 5>got them elected, not the people of the state. Not

104
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.199
<v Speaker 5>the people of the state. And we already have too

105
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 5>much of that all over the country. We see it,

106
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 5>and certainly in South Dakota when I talked to voters

107
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.759
<v Speaker 5>just regularly, folks, that's what they say, they say, our

108
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.399
<v Speaker 5>leadership isn't listening to us.

109
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 6>If you go to the top of the leadership in

110
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:07.800
<v Speaker 6>South Dakota.

111
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.639
<v Speaker 5>They're not listening to the voters, and so we think

112
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:13.519
<v Speaker 5>H would just make that problem even worse.

113
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:15.839
<v Speaker 1>And now let's move down the page a little bit.

114
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>Vote no on G. What is G and explain why

115
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>people should vote no on that.

116
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:24.600
<v Speaker 5>So G is an extremely extreme abortion bill. So it

117
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.360
<v Speaker 5>would allow abortion up till birth.

118
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.519
<v Speaker 1>So that is completely different than being pro life, pro choice.

119
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.839
<v Speaker 1>This is on the far far end of the spectrum right.

120
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 5>And this would also put it in the state constitution,

121
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.040
<v Speaker 5>so it takes it out of the hands of the voters.

122
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 6>And the way you know, our system is supposed to work.

123
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.560
<v Speaker 5>Really shouldn't be changing our constitution just at the will

124
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:51.319
<v Speaker 5>of you know, voting randomly because people, you know, groups

125
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 5>come in and spend a lot of money in advertising.

126
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 5>We shouldn't be able to change our constitution that way.

127
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:56.600
<v Speaker 5>And this is just a.

128
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.839
<v Speaker 6>Radically extreme ballot measure. That's that's the bottom line.

129
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.800
<v Speaker 1>And again, this one, from what I've been told, is

130
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.600
<v Speaker 1>funded primarily by a lot of out of state money

131
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>that's coming in to help fund the other side of this,

132
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:08.519
<v Speaker 1>isn't it?

133
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:09.319
<v Speaker 6>Oh for sure?

134
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.839
<v Speaker 5>And I will say this too, is our group that's

135
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 5>fighting all for these ballot initiatives. If we win, if

136
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 5>we get no's on all four, we don't make any

137
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:20.000
<v Speaker 5>extra money.

138
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:21.000
<v Speaker 6>It doesn't help us at all.

139
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.759
<v Speaker 5>We're not pushing any kind of industry or business, so

140
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 5>we're just playing defense and we want to keep South

141
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.120
<v Speaker 5>to go to turning into California very.

142
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Nice and moving down. I see vote no on twenty one.

143
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.519
<v Speaker 1>That's the next on the page. What is twenty one

144
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and why should folks vote?

145
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.959
<v Speaker 5>Know on that, Chris Well, This is a great organization

146
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:43.800
<v Speaker 5>of farmers, ranchers, landowners who abandoned together to fight our

147
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.160
<v Speaker 5>own legislature and our own governor who passed this bill

148
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 5>to basically allow private companies to come in and take

149
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 5>their land so they can make money off of it.

150
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.519
<v Speaker 5>And we're saying no because we don't want to be

151
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:03.439
<v Speaker 5>human resources for a government private company partnership so they

152
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.240
<v Speaker 5>can make a bunch of money off because next, if

153
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:07.360
<v Speaker 5>they can get this pipeline deal to go through, which

154
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 5>doesn't have a public interest, you know, it just benefits

155
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.079
<v Speaker 5>a few private companies. If they get this to go through,

156
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 5>we know that wind farms are next, and it's already

157
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:17.720
<v Speaker 5>happening in some parts of South Dakota.

158
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 6>We just had a gentleman stop buyer booth a while.

159
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 5>Ago and really kind of shocked us with the stories

160
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.079
<v Speaker 5>he's telling about how his county commission is in the

161
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 5>tank for these wind farms and they're not going to

162
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 5>have a right to say no. The people are not

163
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.519
<v Speaker 5>going to have a right to say no. And that's

164
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 5>a right that Americans should have. We should be able

165
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:37.079
<v Speaker 5>to say no to our own government.

166
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:39.839
<v Speaker 1>And this has a lot to do with land that

167
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.759
<v Speaker 1>you own. Anybody that owns their own land, and we're saying,

168
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't want this happening on my land. I don't

169
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.720
<v Speaker 1>want somebody else to decide what's happening on my land.

170
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>So this really comes down to a lot of farmers,

171
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 1>but anybody that's a land owner, anybody that just believes

172
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:55.120
<v Speaker 1>that the government shouldn't really be able to come in.

173
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.279
<v Speaker 3>And make you do something on your own land.

174
00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:57.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

175
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:02.439
<v Speaker 5>And I've talked to legislators before that represent people, for

176
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:07.160
<v Speaker 5>example in Sioux Falls, and they voted for it because

177
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.480
<v Speaker 5>they didn't think their constituents cared about what happened in

178
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 5>rural areas. And that's sad, because just because it's happening

179
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.000
<v Speaker 5>to somebody else doesn't mean it's right, and you should

180
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.920
<v Speaker 5>do what's right. You don't want the government coming in

181
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:22.720
<v Speaker 5>and doing what they want with your property. Like like

182
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:25.439
<v Speaker 5>I said, we're not human resources to be used by

183
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.600
<v Speaker 5>private companies who come up with. By the way, this

184
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.879
<v Speaker 5>whole CO two thing, just as an aside for my

185
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.960
<v Speaker 5>personal view, it's a scam. It's a Green New Deal

186
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 5>scam that we should never it should never be in place.

187
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 5>It doesn't solve any problems. That's personally how I feel

188
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.720
<v Speaker 5>about it. And I'm a landowner and I'm against it.

189
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.879
<v Speaker 5>So we need to say no a lot more often

190
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:51.840
<v Speaker 5>and a lot more stronger, you know, to these government entities,

191
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 5>these private corporations that are trying to take our land,

192
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.000
<v Speaker 5>take our rights, and use them to make money off.

193
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 1>Of Again visiting right now with Chris Larson. We are

194
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.639
<v Speaker 1>at the Turner County Fair. It's going on this entire week,

195
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'm in the vote No in November booth. We've

196
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.519
<v Speaker 1>talked about no on H, We've talked about no on G,

197
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about no on twenty one, and there's one

198
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.200
<v Speaker 1>left no on I am twenty nine, and let's talk

199
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:16.879
<v Speaker 1>about what I am twenty nine is and why that

200
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 1>should be a vote no.

201
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:21.320
<v Speaker 5>I am twenty nine is the what they call recreational

202
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:24.559
<v Speaker 5>legalization of marijuana. I don't really like that word because

203
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.639
<v Speaker 5>recreational is a real positive sounding word. But it's just

204
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.240
<v Speaker 5>going to make it more widespread. And you know, we

205
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.759
<v Speaker 5>already have medical marijuana, so people who need it for

206
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:34.840
<v Speaker 5>medical reasons certainly have easy.

207
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:35.360
<v Speaker 6>Access to it.

208
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.879
<v Speaker 5>What this will do is really make it a lot

209
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:41.919
<v Speaker 5>easier for kids to get a hold of. And it's

210
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.080
<v Speaker 5>just going to be deep into our our society even

211
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:46.399
<v Speaker 5>more than already is now. And you're going to have

212
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.919
<v Speaker 5>companies coming in and you know, figuring out ways to

213
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:50.720
<v Speaker 5>make money off of it like they do pepsi and

214
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.600
<v Speaker 5>coke and all that stuff. And so it'll have for me,

215
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:56.799
<v Speaker 5>you know, my viewpoint on it is it'll have a

216
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 5>detrimental effect on society. And as a as an employer,

217
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.159
<v Speaker 5>when I go to hire people, that's the hardest thing

218
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.519
<v Speaker 5>I have to do as a as a business owner.

219
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.720
<v Speaker 5>In my business, it's hiring younger, you know, people under

220
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:12.080
<v Speaker 5>the age of forty, let's say. And I don't think

221
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.840
<v Speaker 5>having more weed, you know, in our society is going

222
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:20.960
<v Speaker 5>to make the workforce, smarter, more effective, more motivated.

223
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:24.679
<v Speaker 6>You know, this isn't the marijuana from our day. John.

224
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.200
<v Speaker 5>Back in the eighties, that stuff was very mild compared to today,

225
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.360
<v Speaker 5>It's not the same thing. If it was the same thing,

226
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.759
<v Speaker 5>it might be a different story. But you know, these

227
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:38.000
<v Speaker 5>are jacked up to one hundred percent THC, very potent.

228
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.720
<v Speaker 5>We don't know exactly, you know what the long term

229
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:43.440
<v Speaker 5>effects are, but you know there's been a lot of

230
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:47.480
<v Speaker 5>studies showing that the effects on marijuana on younger teenagers,

231
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:50.720
<v Speaker 5>anybody before the age of twenty five, can have very

232
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:52.759
<v Speaker 5>long term damaging effects on our brains.

233
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:54.720
<v Speaker 6>And we need our brains, right.

234
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:56.679
<v Speaker 3>I use mine every day, at least I try to.

235
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.759
<v Speaker 6>You do. I've seen you use it a couple of times.

236
00:10:58.960 --> 00:10:59.879
<v Speaker 3>A couple of times today.

237
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.519
<v Speaker 1>Getting things set up here just to do this interview

238
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.919
<v Speaker 1>now again, the booth that I'm in is vote No

239
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.879
<v Speaker 1>in November booth and if people have questions, vote no

240
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.799
<v Speaker 1>sd dot com as the website. And again, if you want,

241
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>you can stop by this booth at the Turner counting Fairy.

242
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:17.960
<v Speaker 1>This whole week and each of the things that we

243
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>just talked about, there are groups that are leading up

244
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:21.799
<v Speaker 1>all of these, but you're kind of leading up, You're

245
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of the conductor in charge of all of them,

246
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of helping everybody come on the same page and

247
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:27.480
<v Speaker 1>have a unified voice.

248
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:27.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

249
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.159
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'm certainly not in charge of their groups. I'll

250
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:31.679
<v Speaker 5>tell you that they know a lot more than I

251
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:34.000
<v Speaker 5>do about what they're doing. We just try to direct

252
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.799
<v Speaker 5>folks who are looking for more information to go there.

253
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 5>We're just trying to help people be aware that these

254
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.759
<v Speaker 5>are going on and that they have access to information

255
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.559
<v Speaker 5>and they can decide on their own what the best

256
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.960
<v Speaker 5>path for themselves when they vote. But at least they'll

257
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.480
<v Speaker 5>have hopefully all the story, not just one side of

258
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:54.840
<v Speaker 5>the story. So that's how our website does. It helps

259
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.720
<v Speaker 5>get people more information who want it. And if folks

260
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.279
<v Speaker 5>don't want more information, just vote no. I'm gonna vote

261
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:06.039
<v Speaker 5>no at least five times. So uh, that's that's that's

262
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.200
<v Speaker 5>what we're recommending to vote no. And I will say

263
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:09.919
<v Speaker 5>this about the fair it is. I've never been to

264
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 5>this one, and it's pretty cool. They do have cheese kurds,

265
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:14.279
<v Speaker 5>John don't. I don't know if we'll have to hit

266
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:14.879
<v Speaker 5>them up later.

267
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, And and they also have hand dipped corn dogs,

268
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:19.960
<v Speaker 1>which are way better than foot dipped corn dogs.

269
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.159
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's I've heard the foot dipped ones.

270
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.840
<v Speaker 5>That's what That's another California thing we don't we don't

271
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:26.960
<v Speaker 5>want that in South Dakota, I say no.

272
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 6>I'd say no.

273
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.080
<v Speaker 3>I vote no on foot dipped corn dogs as well.

274
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:30.600
