Right

... it's gonna be interesting to see what happens.

But, uh, this really is a campaign to give, uh, the president an opportunity to, uh, not just get face to face with voters, which he loves.

He, he's...

He, he loves doing this.

He loves, he loves rallies.

Um, but it's, it, it's going to give him the opportunity to use, uh, a massive media presence to help Republican candidates, even when he's campaigning outside their state.

Mm-hmm.

[laughs]

What's up with this? Yeah, so they're increasing alcohol consumption and even heavy drinking, according to this study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine done by, uh, USC and, uh, another group.

It shows, uh, at the same time, as you mentioned, younger Americans cutting back.

Alcohol use down 5% among Gen Z. Millennials, a 17% drop in heavy drinking.

So that's a good thing.

Um, the study looked at more than 114,000 American adults between 2018 and 2024, and overall alcohol use fell by nearly 2%.

Uh, heavy drinking dropped more than 8% between 2022 and 2024, uh, the first decline since the pandemic.

I, I ca- I mean, I can't pinpoint one thing that's wildly different than 10 years ago or 20 years ago that would, that would have this age group, you know, having such big increases.

What was the goal? Where did they go? Who did they talk to? And what were they trying to accomplish? Well, look,

this is about trying to unite the party, Democrats.

They were obviously clearly fractured in the Democrat primary last month in which El-Sayed defeated four-term Congresswoman Haley Stevens.

She was the pick.

She was Chuck Schumer's pick.

She was everybody's pick except for, say, AOC, Bernie Sanders, Democrat Socialists of America.

to replace Gary Peters.

What did Mike Rogers do? Did he do anything about this visit? Did he come out and, you know, take advantage of these two being together?

And I think the real question Joe Rogan was posing there and a lot of other Americans are posing, who all has access to this information with what oversight?

Yeah.

Well, right now it's law enforcement or jurisdictions, governments, city officials that have access to these to this information.

And that's what's got a lot of people creeped out.

And that's why we're seeing a growing list.

This is bipartisan, by the way.

Republicans and Democrats are the latest.

And this one says, how many crimes have been solved using Flock, and how fast were they solved? So I don't think we're asking you in particular for a number, but, you know, in the spirit.

was just going to say, how are they being abused? What's happening with these cameras that people are complaining about?

Well...

some of the concerns that are bipartisan, that the systems allow police agencies to share and search vehicle location data across jurisdictions.

And as you mentioned, you know, go back, you know, maybe weeks, months, even years.

A recent investigation found that one Georgia Police Department's data was being shared with more than 2000 organizations nationwide.

And so you know, we're hearing and seeing more and more cases where, you know, cities are scrapping these things.

You know, Tempe, Arizona, Fort Wayne, got a couple of communities in Minnesota, several in Texas, Massachusetts, Iowa, New Mexico, a bunch of them just parting ways with these cameras because they're controversial and more people are making a lot more noise.

Do you think this investigation by Josh Hawley will be able to provide some real information where we can figure out is the good that's being done for law enforcement worthwhile? this invasion of privacy?

They agree on that.

Yeah, I mean, you've got the president and then the governor, who's presumably going to be running for president, out there on a topic that most Americans agree with.

Actually, I think it'd be hard-pressed to find any American that didn't agree with oil prices needing to come down.

But in a letter to U.S. CEOs of seven major oil companies saying, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker accusing these companies of profiteering from the war in Iran and demanding that they return these windfall profits to consumers.

Get this.

The world's eight largest listed oil producers raked in nearly $93 billion in profits in Q2.

That's just April through June alone.

Has he done anything to actually on his end relieve it? Like, is that gas tax still happening? Has he put a moratorium on it? I know other governors have.

They agree on that.

They can't stop talking about us on Fox News, for example.

Yeah, now the really ugly part begins in this general election for the Senate race in your state.

So, yeah, look, it's great for us, right? It's revenue, these dumb, terrible ads that are just nauseating at times to listen to on both sides.

But, look, it's the season, and the same thing is happening.

Just – just southeast of you, in the state of Ohio, where Democrats smell blood in the water, and perhaps an opportunity to compete in conservative-leaning Ohio 7, that suburban Cleveland, with some Republicans concerned about Max Miller's re-election prospects, now amid calls for the congressman to step down over these allegations of domestic abuse and even possible illegal drug use made by his ex-wife, Emily Marino, whose father, Ohio Senator Bernie Marino, recently called Miller unfit for office, saying that he should step down and marking a significant escalation after previously remaining largely silent publicly about his former son-in-law.

But have other people now stepped forward to say that this Max Miller guy really is a creep?

Well, first of all, back up just a sec.

Emily Marino is alleging multiple incidents of physical abuse, including claims that Miller threatened her with a firearm and abused her during their marriage.
