part of his threat, so he's trying to browbeat them into giving better coverage, I wouldn't have a giant problem with that because their coverage is propaganda and it would be just another way to call them out for being a propaganda entity as opposed to a real news entity, which is fair game because that's free speech too. But if he's serious about it and he actually revokes their licenses, too far. Too far. That would be authoritarian.

So unfortunately in between the things which he's doing which are frankly amazing and spectacular actually, he's hinting at making Democrats right by looking like he's willing to go too far on a few topics. So that's you know I'm still of course big supporter of Trump and I feel it's useful that he gets honest feedback about what works and what doesn't work in terms of the public. So that's my feedback. He has gone too far and he needs to adjust.

Fox News is reporting that there's a Make America Fentanyl Free campaign. It's a privately organized and funded thing. And I guess it'll be sort of like the anti-smoking campaigns, more informing people and telling them what the risks are. I like all of that. So it's privately funded.

So yeah, propaganda against fentanyl is better than not doing it.

Gas prices for August are looking about normal, a little bit better than they were last year this time. We'd like them to be lower, but the Washington Examiner was talking about this. So the average price of a gallon of regular is at $3.16, which makes me mad every time I read the average price of gas because do you know what brings that average way up? California where it's over five. I don't forget what it is, but it's not even close to three.

Trump is talking about bringing his DC Washington DC plan to Chicago. That would be bringing the National Guard there to help curb the crime. But Mayor Brandon Johnson says citizens will rise up and fight tyranny. Oh, okay. It's tyranny to reduce crime in your city. He says that the city does not need a military occupation because there's been a 30% drop in homicides. Well, have you heard anything negative about data crime statistics? Do you think that the people in Chicago are feeling safe enough because crime went down or murder allegedly went down 30%? And do you believe that? Do you believe murder went down 30%? It might be down 30% from the high of the pandemic, but is that where you would measure it from? I've also told you that if you look at the percentage but not the raw number, it means somebody is trying to mislead you. If they only tell you one of
