Latest / The Wes Carroll Morning Show / No, Project 2025 Isn't Trump's Platform
Transcript
- 0:01Start your day with Wes. You're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
- 0:08Thursday morning, eleventh day of July. I'm Wes, thanks for joining me.
- 0:15Told you for a little while now, a couple of weeks maybe that
- 0:19I've noticed there isn't really a lot of enthusiasm for the president, least not
- 0:27in my circle of friends, not people that I follow on social media,
- 0:32people that I talk to regularly. I haven't had anyone tell me how excited
- 0:37they are about voting for Joe Biden. Again, many of them will because
- 0:42they don't have a choice. That's it. It's either him or you know,
- 0:46the most evil person ever walk on the planet in Donald Trump. That's
- 0:50the way that they look at it. That's the way that they will,
- 0:53you know, see things. So that's their perspective on it. But they're
- 0:57not excited about Joe Biden. And you know, that's been a term that
- 1:03was coined a long time ago, the cult of personality, when it comes
- 1:06to someone seeking fame or seeking power or whatever. It's that thing that people
- 1:12have. Trump has it. I think at one time Joe Biden had it.
- 1:19I don't know that Hillary Clinton had it. I certainly don't think Kamala
- 1:22Harris has it. Barack Obama absolutely had it. I mean so much so
- 1:27that he pushed Hillary Clinton aside, who was the presumed candidate in two thousand
- 1:34and eight, and it was like, no, no, no, We're
- 1:36going to go with the one that has a little sizzle. We're gonna go
- 1:38with the one that has the charisma, the one that has that cult of
- 1:42personality, if you will, and you need that. Now. That's what
- 1:49we had in twenty sixteen. I don't know without COVID, I don't think
- 1:55Joe Biden wins in twenty twenty. Right now, we're in this position where
- 2:01it's, you know, the Republicans that love Trump, love Trump. Then
- 2:07you got the Republicans that maybe don't necessarily love him, but they understand that
- 2:12we're in a bad places when it comes to our economy, when it comes
- 2:15to inflation, when it comes to jobs, it's a lot of things that
- 2:19just aren't going well at the moment. Certainly not what we're doing in the
- 2:24energy area either. And so you've got a candidate now in Trump that people
- 2:31are saying that's who we're going to go for. Moderates are looking at him
- 2:35going, well, he's going to be better than the guy that's, you
- 2:38know, has cognition issues. And then you've got Biden, who people are
- 2:43just kind of going, we want him to be who he used to be,
- 2:45and he's just not, and we don't know what to say about it.
- 2:47And we can't jump in and say, boy, he's great. All
- 2:51we can really do is say that they're both terrible. And that was the
- 2:53whole point of the show yesterday. And I've noticed among the people that I
- 2:59know, it's particularly on social media. Four years ago, eight years ago,
- 3:02there were people that were definitely at this point raving about their options,
- 3:08whether it was Hillary Clinton or whether it was Joe Biden. Four years ago,
- 3:14they were in they were excited. They liked the idea of being able
- 3:16to vote for those people. Right now, I think it's one of those
- 3:20things where you know you're eating a lunch that you didn't want to eat.
- 3:24That's the most diplomatic way I can say it. There's a line from The
- 3:28Walking Dead, the comics and the show Meagan said it. If you know
- 3:32the line I'm talking about, I think that's what people are preparing to do.
- 3:36They're preparing to eat something that they know, you know, they're having
- 3:43a lunch that they know it's not gonna taste good, but they're gonna have
- 3:45to eat it. And then you got some on the left that are going,
- 3:50this is bad, and I know it's not. I'm not supposed to
- 3:53do this, but maybe I am going to vote. And I'm talking to
- 3:55like left of center people that are considering crossing that line, people maybe that
- 4:00have voted Democrats got Obviously, the polls are telling us that many black former
- 4:08Democrat voters are crossing the line and voting for Trump. You got Hispanic voters
- 4:12crossing the line. You got Jewish voters, which should not surprise anybody.
- 4:16It should not surprise anybody that we have Jewish Americans that are ready to vote
- 4:23conservative, ready to vote Republican in this election. So they don't have a
- 4:30candidate that they can talk about. They can still trash Trump, they can
- 4:33still talk about how he's evil, and they can still talk about when the
- 4:35VP pick comes in, whoever it is, doesn't matter who it is,
- 4:41okay can be. You know, Tom Hanks, people are going to start
- 4:44trashing Tom Hanks. That's what would happened America's beloved Tom Hanks. They would
- 4:49start trashing him, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter who the pick is, they
- 4:55will be the worst person in the world, second only to Trump, may
- 4:58be worse because obviously whoever the VP is will likely be the nominee if Trump
- 5:03wins in four years. So so what are they talking about? They found
- 5:09something now to talk about on social media now. And let me also be
- 5:14clear on this. I don't think that going on social media and X is
- 5:19probably the exception, and it's part of why I don't really If you've been
- 5:23messaging me on X, you haven't gotten any messages back. Sorry. And
- 5:28I know people that used to do that. They would message me on there
- 5:30and it would take me six months to reply because it's just it's horrible.
- 5:33It's horrible. There's nothing goods really on there. I don't understand why people
- 5:40spend a lot of time on Twitter, X whatever, but they do.
- 5:44And I get that's fine. But people use that and they get in there
- 5:46and they argue and bicker and fight, and it's like the old message boards
- 5:49back in the day. And there was a time in many years ago,
- 5:55a much younger version of me would have had fun getting in there and scrapping
- 5:59it up. And I did on all of those things, message board,
- 6:01social media got in there, and then I realized something. I realized it's
- 6:06stupid. It's really stupid. Let me explain why. And maybe you're one
- 6:12of those people who does. I don't know, I don't know what your
- 6:14thing is. I'm just explaining to you why I think it's stupid. You
- 6:17do you If that's what you want to do with your time, you do
- 6:20it. But let's just be realistic for a minute. I don't know how
- 6:25many friends you got, I don't know how many followers you got, I
- 6:27don't know all of that stuff. But there's a small percentage of people that
- 6:31are actually going to see whatever it is that you're firing off on. They're
- 6:34all angry and mad, just vitriol and just anger, and you're just firing
- 6:43off here's what I think, here's why this person is terrible. You know,
- 6:47they do that, and then they say it, and then you got
- 6:49a small percentage of people that are even like in your group, in your
- 6:54followers whatever, that see it. Small group. Some of them will agree
- 6:59with you and they'll make you feel good about what you wrote, was liking
- 7:02it or saying yeah, heck yeah or whatever. And then you got some
- 7:05that are going to be mad at you and they're going to fire something.
- 7:09Oh yeah, well let's argue about that. And then you got the people
- 7:12who are going to go, you know what, let's just delete you.
- 7:15Let's just move on or unfollow you or block you, or whatever it is
- 7:18they're going to do that. Some of those people are going to do that,
- 7:21And that's the way the process works until you get down. So you've
- 7:25got a handful of people that will either fight with you or for the most
- 7:30part, you get your echo chamber of people who agree with you, and
- 7:32you start feeling really good about your opinions because you don't get it challenged anymore.
- 7:38I've got friends, I've got dear friends that get in there and they'll
- 7:40say something that's just not true, and then people will point out that it's
- 7:45not true, and rather than own it and just say, oh, I
- 7:46didn't realize that wasn't true, they'll just fight to the end and then delete
- 7:49it because you know, it looks bad when you find out that it's not
- 7:54true and you couldn't even stand up for it. So this is what people
- 7:58are arguing about right now now. And I don't see a lot of this.
- 8:01There's a handful of people that I see stuff from the unfollowed for thirty
- 8:05days is great. You can do that a couple more times. It'll get
- 8:09us past this election, and then you can go back to being friends.
- 8:11Now. I'm not one of those people who says I can't be friends with
- 8:15this person because they disagree with me. That's not my attitude at all.
- 8:20That's not how I feel about people. I have friends all over the political
- 8:24spectrum in some capacity, right I do. They just I've got friends that
- 8:30say things on far left and far right extreme sometimes and I go yee,
- 8:35And then I've got friends that say things that are much more moderate, and
- 8:39I just go, it'd be easier to be around you at a party.
- 8:43You know. It's just, you know, they don't have to agree with
- 8:46me. They don't have to agree with me at all. I don't feel
- 8:48and I've never asked you, as a listener of this show to agree with
- 8:52me. I don't. I don't tell you how to vote, I don't
- 8:54tell you what to do. I just tell you. I make observations,
- 8:58I ask questions. Occasionally I'll say, you know, maybe help out other
- 9:03people. Maybe that's what you could do. Right now, you could vote
- 9:05a certain way that would help out people who are struggling to put groceries in
- 9:11their refrigerators. You know, that's where we're at right now. It's about
- 9:13trying to help feed people, and we go, ah, we need social
- 9:16programs to do that. We could vote right now this year, we could
- 9:20vote for people that might help fix the economy. But anyway, they found
- 9:26something to argue about right now. They found something to fire off on the
- 9:28left, and because they don't have a candidate to be excited about, they
- 9:31got to find something to be excited about. And you may have started seeing
- 9:35it pop up in your feed. Project twenty twenty five. Oh my goodness,
- 9:41this sounds so terrible. Project twenty twenty five. This is guy and
- 9:46they tell you you better google it, you better look it up. This
- 9:50is Trump's platform for twenty twenty five should he win. These are all the
- 9:54horrible things that he's going to do, And oh my goodness, they're all
- 9:58just torrible things. You know, they're gonna come to your house and kill
- 10:05your pets. No they're not, that's not what they're saying, but that's
- 10:07kind of how it feels. It's this fear mongering thing that we've now transitioned
- 10:11to because there's no candidate to be excited about. On the left, they're
- 10:16desperately hoping for some person who's not going to come in and save the day.
- 10:22You know, Biden's got to step aside. That's the first problem.
- 10:26Then Harris has to step aside, that's the second problem. But they can
- 10:28start dreaming about Michelle Obama and all these people that have said, I don't
- 10:33want to do it. I don't want to do it at all. That's
- 10:37not what I want. Is this is a lost cause at this point,
- 10:41not that they've said that, but you got to think that they're wondering that
- 10:43something that By the way, some of the Democrat fundraisers are starting to say,
- 10:48Hey, if you really think all of these people could win, don't
- 10:52you think that they would have run? That's the new sentiment, like,
- 10:56why would someone who thought they probably can't win and they would have run if
- 11:05they thought they could, So why would they jump into this at this point
- 11:11and be the one who had to push the very old man out of his
- 11:15job to get there? But anyway, and then George Clooney's the latest to
- 11:18say he needs to step out because you know the fundraising, they know they're
- 11:22wasting their money. Anyway, let's talk about Project twenty twenty five. First
- 11:26of all, Project twenty twenty five is not Donald Trump's platform for twenty twenty
- 11:31five. Project twenty twenty five comes out of a very conservative think tank,
- 11:37and it's something that some people, some of them at one time closely affiliated
- 11:43with Donald Trump, not presently, I think would be ideal things that could
- 11:48move forward. And some of the issues probably would seem a bit extreme right
- 11:54now for more moderate people. They may not be very extreme for far right
- 12:00convatives. They may not seem very extreme for sort of moderate conservatives. But
- 12:03if you're you know, closer to the center as a conservative, you probably
- 12:09would think, Man, some of these things seem a little crazy for twenty
- 12:13twenty four so or twenty twenty five to be specific. So here's here's what
- 12:18you need to know. The people that are telling you that Project twenty twenty
- 12:22five is the RNC platform, that's not true. The RNC has adopted Trump's
- 12:31platform as the leader of the party, and it's not this Project twenty twenty
- 12:35five. In fact, it's much more moderate and much more centrist than some
- 12:41of these things in Project twenty twenty five, and they're going to try to
- 12:45scare you and tell you. Now, there's a couple of things that are
- 12:46happening. One of them is they just don't know, and they're just regurgitating
- 12:52what other people are saying. It's like the whole boy Trump's a felon,
- 12:56he shouldn't be able to run for president. What a felon boy? That
- 12:58guy? I mean, people just regurgitate that. And they're also regurgitating this
- 13:03about Product twenty four. Now, some of them know that these aren't the
- 13:07same thing. Some of them understand that this is not Trump's platform, this
- 13:11is not what Trump is running on. And they're telling you anyway because they're
- 13:16lying, and they, I guess, are okay with the idea of lying
- 13:20to you about it just at quick glance, and people say you should,
- 13:24you know, look it up. Look up Project twenty twenty five, and
- 13:28then you'll see what you need to be afraid of. The first thing you
- 13:33get if you google it, which, by the way, that's what they're
- 13:35telling everybody. Do google it, and the first thing you get, of
- 13:39course, is Joe Biden dot com. That's the first thing that you get.
- 13:43So there's that. As you scroll down just a little bit below that,
- 13:48you get to the and I've lost it, but the Democrat Party's page
- 13:56talking about it, and they basically lay out, Yeah, this is Trump's
- 14:03Project twenty twenty five. And it's not. That's not what it is.
- 14:07That's not what it is at all. It's a conservative it's from the Heritage
- 14:13Foundation. It's conservatives that have put this together, some not people involved in
- 14:18the Trump campaign. So how is it different? How's it different than what
- 14:22we're going to hear next week? A couple of things it's worth noting,
- 14:26I mean, just to give some examples of how things are different. Some
- 14:30of them are similar. I mean, it's a conservative philosophies that are within
- 14:33this. But Project twenty five much more strict on abortion. Donald Trump is
- 14:39not he voiced his views on abortion and where things should be. He's happy
- 14:46with it, staying with the states. He does not want a federal ban.
- 14:50Project twenty twenty five much more strict on that. And they're telling you
- 14:54abortion, abortion's gonna go away because of Project twenty twenty five. Gay marriage,
- 15:01Project twenty twenty five much more strict on the idea of gay marriage and
- 15:05the definition of marriage Donald Trump not so much. Some ways that it is
- 15:09different. A lot of the policy issues in there sort of ways that it
- 15:15is alike, I should say, not different. Immigration, they're pretty much
- 15:20lined up on that, you know, fix the border, work on our
- 15:24defense, and deport people who aren't supposed to be here. That's similar.
- 15:30No, Donald Trump does not want to get rid of Social Security. I
- 15:33don't even know that. Project twenty five specifically says that now there is talk
- 15:37about trying to work it towards something better and different and something that will last.
- 15:43But it's disingenuous to say Donald Trump wants to inj your social Security and
- 15:48steal it away from you and tell all your seniors. The other disingenuous thing
- 15:52that's being fired around. And I've seen this a few places. Are you
- 15:56better off now than you were four years ago? And people are firing off
- 16:02the stats? Well, four years ago, this is what was going on
- 16:04and it was terrible, and right now, stats wise, we're so much
- 16:08better off. Four years ago, we were in the throes of COVID.
- 16:14It was July of twenty twenty, and we were all struggling. We were
- 16:18all struggling. If you really want to measure Donald Trump's presidency and Joe Biden's
- 16:25presidency. At this stage, what you have to do is go back five
- 16:26years ago. And you've probably heard me say, were you better off five
- 16:32years ago? You know, people the standard is always four years ago because
- 16:36you talk about, you know, an interim president. So you look at
- 16:42that and you say an incumbent president, well maybe he is interim an incumbent
- 16:49president, and you say, well, you're better off than you were four
- 16:52years ago, Well, obviously, no, we're not better off than we're
- 16:55definitely better well four years ago, we're not better off than we were five
- 16:57years ago. That's the difference. It's disingenuous or it's lying. You know,
- 17:04at best, you're not thinking, but if you're trying to compare the
- 17:07stats, and in full like disclosure on this particular issue, when Biden first
- 17:17got into office, and people were saying, oh my gosh, look at
- 17:19what the gas prices are right out of the gate, right at the beginning,
- 17:23they did shoot up, but you really couldn't compare the gas prices to
- 17:30twenty twenty in twenty twenty one, because again, in twenty twenty, people
- 17:33weren't going anywhere. People were sheltering in place. Gas prices went way down.
- 17:40It's a big difference. And then you say, look at how much
- 17:42they've skyrocketed. Now, they did go up, and they've continued to be
- 17:47up. But if you want to try to really be genuine about all this,
- 17:52and you're going to compare gas prices, then you have to compare it
- 17:57to the year before COVID you have compared to twenty nineteen. That's the issue.
- 18:03And I think that's what people are doing right now, and honestly,
- 18:07it's disingenuous or it's lying, but the point is they're looking for something to
- 18:15be fired up about, and this is going to be it for a little
- 18:17while. And you have to understand the difference between what Project twenty twenty five
- 18:21is and what the actual Republican platform is, what Donald Trump's platform is,
- 18:26because it ain't Project twenty twenty five. Today's show brought to you by Columbus
- 18:29State University's Coca Cola Space Science Center, Inspiring and educating the youth and future
- 18:37STEM leaders and STEM career holders that really of all ages. I mean they
- 18:42do it for school age kids. As school age kids visit the Coca Cola
- 18:47Space Science Center but they also do it through their university programs where you can
- 18:52learn engineering, astronomy, physics, and the careers in space and stem fields
- 18:57are booming right now, and you can learn more about maybe getting your degree
- 19:03on their website CCSSC dot org. While you're there, also check out some
- 19:11of their upcoming programs. They've got this incredible collaboration that they do with the
- 19:17Schwob School of Music from Columbus State University called Music under the Dome. It's
- 19:21unlike any concert experience that you can get anywhere else. It's one of those
- 19:26things that when you're watching it in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is
- 19:30this really in Columbus, Georgia. I mean, this is a major city
- 19:33attraction that happens right here in Columbus inside the planetarium at the Coca Cola Space
- 19:41Science Center and the new season of Music under the Dome. Check out upcoming
- 19:45dates for the shows, and also check out when the next Astronomy Night's coming
- 19:51up. Where you can get outside, Sometimes you do it at the Cocola
- 19:55Space Science Center. Sometimes you get outside somewhere outside the city lights you don't
- 20:00want any light interference, and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy
- 20:03Night events also on their website. It's CCSSC dot org. As Sean Crusan

- 20:21you by Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage door needs,
- 20:25commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance that it's time for.
- 20:32It's always good to get maintenance on anything that has parts that move and have
- 20:36electronics. The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take care of squaring
- 20:41that away for you, and while they're there, you can always ask them
- 20:45questions about some of the maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage
- 20:48door. Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it to be and
- 20:52you need some repair work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
- 20:56brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage door
- 21:02opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation issue that you've got with
- 21:06colder or warmer weather. Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe
- 21:11you're looking at a situation where you'd like to add a screen door to your
- 21:15garage door system that you can put down and you can use your garage space
- 21:19as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like to
- 21:23work on your own cars in there, or maybe you just want a little
- 21:26man cavid you'd like to be able to open the door up and not invite
- 21:30all the insects in. They can do that for you as well, and
- 21:33again they do after hours calls. There's nothing worse than that thought of having
- 21:37your car trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open and you need
- 21:41somebody to come help, and they do those as well. Seven oh six

- 22:04if you are in school or you have kids who are in school,
- 22:11you've probably heard a lot of the warnings don't use that AI. We're going
- 22:15to catch you if you're using that AI. Boy, oh boy, that
- 22:19AI is so detectable. We're going to find it and we're going to know
- 22:22that you're cheating and you're using the AI. Well, apparently there's a new
- 22:29study that says they may not be catching the AI, at least not over
- 22:33in the UK. That's where the study was done. As they say,
- 22:37many AI generated papers and tests are not getting flagged. The study out of
- 22:44University of Reading in the UK found that a staggering ninety four percent of AI
- 22:51written college exam answers went undetected by the test examiners. And these submissions were
- 22:57one hundred percent AI with no human additions, no changes at all. It
- 23:06gets worse. Teachers not only did the AI submissions go undetected, but they
- 23:11of course outperformed the human test takers. On average, AI generated answers scored
- 23:15half a grade to a full grade higher. So where does that leave us?
- 23:25I don't know. I don't know how they're going to fix that problem.
- 23:26I'm glad I don't have to try to fix that problem. Teachers,
- 23:30be aware, there may not be it may not be detectable. Now,
- 23:33I know what people do often and they kind of I think, And I
- 23:37haven't been in school, so don't don't accuse me of anything, But I
- 23:41know that some people have this mindset of It's kind of like, you know,
- 23:47if you borrow a little too much content and you change it up a
- 23:49little bit, many of those things get run through and you know, you
- 23:56can get you can get flagged on that you've stolen all of this work.
- 24:00Now I feel like the President of the United States. You can do it
- 24:02on speeches and stuff and nobody cares. But if sorry, but if you
- 24:07change it up a little bit with AI, apparently you don't even need to
- 24:10do that because again from this study, they just you know, do that
- 24:17turn it in as is AI and ninety four percent of the time, which
- 24:22is an A by the way, which is an A for AI? Ninety
- 24:26four is an A if it's out of one hundred and it is. Are
- 24:30you tired a lot? Well, you're not alone. A new survey found
- 24:34that the average American feels tired four hours a day, and thirty one percent
- 24:40said that they feel tired even more on a typical day because they say,
- 24:47One in three people surveyed said that they always are often still feel tired even
- 24:52after a good night's sleep, and the exhaustion is taking its toll, with
- 24:56fifty eight percent saying that they feel tired and it causes them to not be
- 25:00able to enjoy life. The same percentage said that feeling tired has caused them
- 25:04to avoid socializing, and more than thirty percent skip out on events. Twenty
- 25:10seven percents canceled plans with friends or family. The survey found that the average
- 25:15American spends almost fifteen hundred hours a year feeling tired. A couple thoughts on
- 25:22this, And I know, and I'm just kind of shooting from the hip
- 25:27here, Okay, I'm not coming at this. This isn't me doing a
- 25:33study. This is just me making an observation. I'm questioning how much of
- 25:37this in twenty twenty four could be after effects of I don't know, this
- 25:42pandemic that we had that has had for many people long term effects on I
- 25:48don't know. I'm just throwing that out there. I don't know if that's
- 25:51the cause. I don't know if that's why. Maybe people are having to
- 25:55work harder, they're stressed and they're not getting good sleep, and maybe it's
- 25:59related to the economy and it's related to wages and all these sorts of things.
- 26:03I'm just throwing that out there. It's possibility that those things could be
- 26:07part of it. I don't know. I didn't look at the full breakdown
- 26:11on reasons given in this particular study that was done. All right, more
- 26:18than thirty two million people passed through TSA security checkpoints over the past two weeks.
- 26:22We told you it was the busiest Independence Day travel period ever. That
- 26:30was I guess official, and many of them had to leave behind some banned
- 26:33items despite signs warnings even on this show. I told you some things that
- 26:37you should be careful about taking that you don't want to try to do,
- 26:41and agents they expect to confiscate things liquids, small weapons, and of course
- 26:48banned items found in luggage that even veteran TSA agents are stunned to fine.
- 26:53Here are some of the most unusual items that travelers tried to carry through security
- 27:00so far this year. And I don't know if this was just during the
- 27:03Independent State period or not, but these are some of the items. Chainsaw,
- 27:08Yeah, someone tried to take a chainsaw on an airplane. Kitchen sink.
- 27:12I suppose that may have just been to be funny. I don't know,
- 27:17I packed everything in the kitchen sink. That's what I think when I
- 27:19hear that an electric sander that's probably just a guy trying to go to work.
- 27:25Fireworks. No, that's not going to work on an airplane. A
- 27:29bag of snakes, I think we had that story. No, you're not
- 27:32taking a bag of snakes on an airplane. Samuel L. Jackson, samurai
- 27:37sword, Yep, that ain't happening. A replica hand grenade. I would
- 27:42think that it's possible that they had innocent intentions with that one, since it's
- 27:48a replica. But again, not gonna happen. Throwing knives nope, a
- 27:52taser nope. Deer antlers? Now, what is the issue with the deer
- 27:57antlers? I guess I'd like to know that. Can we get to the
- 28:00bottom of the issue with the deer antlers? Why can't you take them on
- 28:06an airplane? I don't know. I don't understand. And finally, many
- 28:10parts of the country dealing with heat. It's summer, it's hot, we're
- 28:15in solar maximum, lots of reasons to be hot outside. But not quite
- 28:21as hot as the nineteen thirties, by the way, but that's another conversation
- 28:23for another time. But it's the hottest ever except for the nineteen thirties,
- 28:30and millions of Americans really enjoying air conditioning. I am, I'm happy to
- 28:34have it this morning. Ones who have air conditioning, at least out west,
- 28:40temperatures have dropped or have topped one hundred degrees. They haven't dropped.
- 28:44I don't know. Maybe they were one hundred and five, another one hundred,
- 28:48one hundred and twenty eight. In some places, many people at greater
- 28:52risk to health related problems related to heat because air conditioning isn't as widespread in
- 28:57other parts of the country. According to data from the US Census Bureau's American
- 29:00Housing Survey, Northwestern cities like San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland have low
- 29:07rates of in home air conditioning units. In fact, San Francisco is the
- 29:12least air conditioned city in the country, with only forty five percent of homes
- 29:18having it. In Seattle, fifty four percent of homes are air conditioned.
- 29:22Something to think about when people talk about, oh, down in the southeast,
- 29:26they don't know how to deal with snow and cold weather, And you
- 29:29go, yeah, but how are you other people dealing with heat? We
- 29:30know how to deal with heat. We're prepared for You have snow tires.
- 29:33We have air conditioning. That's all I got to say about that. That'll
- 29:38do it for this Thursday edition of the show. Thanks to our sponsors and
- 29:41patrons. Thank you for listening. I'll catch you back here tomorrow morning.
