0:03:19 Unknown Speaker #3

to be desperate. Wow. No. I'm not it's just we have to be kinda particular because, you know, they've they've made the laws a little more restrictive on fireworks around here. So I have to keep a record of everything that I sell and everything like that. So it's just it's it's it gets a little bit more complicated, so I have to be a little bit more on top of things. But

0:03:38 Unknown Speaker #2

10 people We just need to know we just need to know I mean, what are the city's guidelines on patriotism. Is there a hard line of how many star spangled banners I can give off? Can I play the national anthem? Can I have multiple red, white, and blue streamers on top of my roof?

0:03:59 Unknown Speaker #3

What is it? I don't think anybody has any problem with how patriotic you are. Okay, sir? You can be you can be as patriotic as you wanna be. It's more about the danger of the event. Okay? So I'm no one's attacking your patriotism here. Okay? It seems like you think that

i

0:04:25 Unknown Speaker #1

for you. My dad wants to be, you know, acknowledged for how patriotic he is. I think he'll kinda quiet down if you if you point out maybe the tattoo he has or the hat or the cape he's wearing. I think maybe that then he'll he'll be a little less combative.

0:04:40 Unknown Speaker #3

Is the cape supposed to be a patriotic thing? Yeah. Is the and is the cape supposed to be a patriotic thing? Or is he trying to be a superhero? It doesn't seem patriotic.

0:04:48 Unknown Speaker #2

0:05:07 Unknown Speaker #1

Is

0:05:17 Unknown Speaker #1

Debt, it's not because they hate patriotism. It's because most people don't carry those things around with them.
