Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary, and interviews. You need to start
0:06
Speaker 1: your day, and you're listening to the West Carrol Morning Show.
0:11
Speaker 2: Wednesday morning, thirteenth day of August. I'm West Thanks for
0:16
Speaker 2: joining me. Well, we had the announcement that the President
0:23
Speaker 2: had decided he'd had enough of crime in the DC
0:26
Speaker 2: area and ready to take things over from a federal
0:33
Speaker 2: level from the DC police and get federal with it,
0:41
Speaker 2: bring in some assistance and let's get things cleaned up.
0:47
Speaker 2: And this announcement came earlier this week. And of course
0:51
Speaker 2: now we've got folks on the left saying publicly that
0:57
Speaker 2: this is dangerous, can't happen, shouldn't happen, they should let
1:00
Speaker 2: the now reminding you, we're not talking We're talking about
1:05
Speaker 2: District of Columbia. There's no governor. This isn't a state.
1:09
Speaker 2: This is something that has its own Technically, it answers
1:13
Speaker 2: to the Congress. I mean that's who the police there
1:19
Speaker 2: would answer to. It's not really a situation where you
1:23
Speaker 2: and a federal call from the President of the United
1:27
Speaker 2: States declaring it a situation that's out of control, saying
1:30
Speaker 2: it's time, this is a danger to the people who
1:33
Speaker 2: live here, and some people saying, well, I thought we
1:37
Speaker 2: heard crime was down, well, crime in some areas down,
1:40
Speaker 2: And I think that maybe even to say crime is
1:42
Speaker 2: down in Washington, d C may even be accurate according
1:46
Speaker 2: to some of the stats. I think the issue that
1:50
Speaker 2: the President has stressed and many on the right have
1:53
Speaker 2: stressed in this administration is it's not so much the
1:58
Speaker 2: crime stats being up or down. It's the crime stats
2:01
Speaker 2: compared to capital cities and other countries around the world,
2:06
Speaker 2: and it's an embarrassment. And when you look at countries
2:10
Speaker 2: that are sort of known to be crime haven countries,
2:14
Speaker 2: cities known to be crime haven cities, and when their
2:20
Speaker 2: crime is significantly lower, significantly lower than what's been experienced
2:28
Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. I think that's reason enough to say, look,
2:32
Speaker 2: this is a place. It's a little different than you know,
2:37
Speaker 2: you're in a state and you go, well, I want
2:39
Speaker 2: to go visit our capital city. I want to go
2:43
Speaker 2: to this particular landmark that resides inside or state, or
2:49
Speaker 2: I'd like to travel to an area where they have
2:52
Speaker 2: this amazing landmark that I'd like to see that's inside
2:55
Speaker 2: a state. The capital of the US should be a
3:00
Speaker 2: place that belongs to everyone, and it does, and everybody
3:06
Speaker 2: should be able to go and visit and not feel threatened,
3:09
Speaker 2: not feel afraid, not have to look over their shoulder constantly.
3:13
Speaker 2: My wife just went on a trip for work to
3:18
Speaker 2: a major US city and most of the time that
3:24
Speaker 2: she was there, she was in a suburb area. She
3:26
Speaker 2: wasn't in the actual city. I gotta be honest. You
3:29
Speaker 2: get a little nervous when you're sending a loved one
3:32
Speaker 2: to some cities. City in question with Chicago, yeah, I
3:36
Speaker 2: don't now, it wasn't on a weekend when it seems
3:39
Speaker 2: the crime is extra high. And still get a little
3:45
Speaker 2: nervous moment that the plane lands, moment that she tells me, Okay,
3:49
Speaker 2: we're now in the suburbs. We're safe, We're good. You go, okay,
3:53
Speaker 2: well that's good. I feel better now. A little nervous though,
3:58
Speaker 2: when somebody you care about lands in Chicago or lands
4:01
Speaker 2: in New York. Or when we were on our trip
4:04
Speaker 2: to Australia this summer and we got to LA and
4:11
Speaker 2: we were stuck in LA for twenty four hours, longer
4:13
Speaker 2: than we expected to be in LA. A lot of
4:16
Speaker 2: people thought, oh wow, you're going to get out and
4:18
Speaker 2: venture out, and we didn't decide to not venture out
4:22
Speaker 2: because of crime. That wasn't the concern. We decided not
4:26
Speaker 2: to venture out because we really wanted to be near
4:28
Speaker 2: the airport and our goal, our objective was to get
4:31
Speaker 2: to our destination, which was in Australia, and we just
4:34
Speaker 2: didn't want to take any chances. And we had some
4:37
Speaker 2: things still to take care of concerning our newly booked
4:40
Speaker 2: adjusted flights. So we ventured out, but not far. We
4:45
Speaker 2: saw things near the airport, We didn't see anything close
4:48
Speaker 2: to what we've seen around that time, at least on
4:52
Speaker 2: the news of what was going on in LA. And
4:55
Speaker 2: people asked me, was it as bad as they said
4:57
Speaker 2: or was it just a bunch of bunk? No, it
5:01
Speaker 2: was I mean, I'm sure everything that you saw was genuine.
5:04
Speaker 2: We just didn't go into those areas. We strategically stayed
5:07
Speaker 2: out of some of those areas. That was never our intention,
5:10
Speaker 2: wasn't our goal. We did not think, Wow, We're going
5:14
Speaker 2: to venture out with twenty four hours to spare into
5:19
Speaker 2: all of to see all of LA. We stayed near
5:22
Speaker 2: the airport. We made it to in and out. Those
5:25
Speaker 2: are one of the things that Luke wanted to do
5:27
Speaker 2: while we were in LA, and we thought we can
5:29
Speaker 2: do that without going too far. Did we see some
5:32
Speaker 2: things in the short trip from our hotel to in
5:35
Speaker 2: and out, Yes, some of the things that you've heard about,
5:39
Speaker 2: but not on the major scale.
5:41
Speaker 1: No.
5:43
Speaker 2: So, if you don't want to venture out into LA,
5:45
Speaker 2: and I know that there are people that do. If
5:47
Speaker 2: you don't want to venture out into Seattle, you don't
5:50
Speaker 2: want to venture out into New York or Chicago. We
5:55
Speaker 2: still love going to New York. I've spent some time
5:57
Speaker 2: in Chicago, La, of those cities, and I haven't been
6:00
Speaker 2: to Seattle. I probably should have gone, at least during
6:05
Speaker 2: one period of time when I had several very close
6:08
Speaker 2: friends who lived there, but I never made it there.
6:11
Speaker 2: It's a long way away from the Southeast. It's a
6:15
Speaker 2: long way to go, so LA the only of the cities,
6:19
Speaker 2: and I've been to LA many times but never really
6:21
Speaker 2: made it far from the airport. Even with this trip
6:24
Speaker 2: we ventured away from the airport, we still didn't go
6:26
Speaker 2: very far. I love New York. I've always loved my
6:30
Speaker 2: time in New York. I've been there several times. I
6:33
Speaker 2: have a great time when I go to New York.
6:35
Speaker 2: There are restaurants that I really love there. There are
6:38
Speaker 2: places that I like to visit. One of my favorite
6:41
Speaker 2: things to do in New York is you know, you
6:43
Speaker 2: wake up at two in the morning, you're sleeping, and
6:46
Speaker 2: you wake up and you think, Eh, put my shoes
6:49
Speaker 2: on and go walk around. Can't do that now, I
6:52
Speaker 2: mean you can. I wouldn't recommend it. I wouldn't do
6:55
Speaker 2: it now. There was a time when I've done it.
6:57
Speaker 2: I've done it many times on my trips. You just
6:59
Speaker 2: go under around. There's things to see in the middle
7:02
Speaker 2: of the night. I wouldn't I wouldn't recommend it now.
7:08
Speaker 2: Wouldn't do it now, have no interest in it. Now.
7:10
Speaker 2: It's a different place, probably about to get a lot worse.
7:14
Speaker 2: Current polling shows that the Democratic Socialist, which is again
7:19
Speaker 2: the code word that we've been given all the way
7:21
Speaker 2: back to MLK, as doctor King told us, the communists,
7:26
Speaker 2: will be referred to democratic socialists. I mean it's right
7:29
Speaker 2: there in the playbook. We were told this is eventually
7:32
Speaker 2: what the name is going to be for the communists.
7:35
Speaker 2: And you get somebody who wants to shut down the police,
7:39
Speaker 2: defund the police, run out all the business by saying, hey,
7:44
Speaker 2: these businesses. We're going to tax them so much is
7:46
Speaker 2: going to pay for all the free stuff. And the
7:49
Speaker 2: business owners are already saying, we're watching, We're keeping a
7:52
Speaker 2: close eye. Probably have already had conversations with boards of
7:56
Speaker 2: directors and various employees at high levels. Hey, we might
8:01
Speaker 2: not be here much longer, could be moving the whole
8:04
Speaker 2: operation elsewhere, so brace yourselves. It could be coming. Got
8:11
Speaker 2: no interest in going to New York now, and I
8:14
Speaker 2: miss it. It's been a while since I've been. I'd
8:16
Speaker 2: love to go back, but all right, now there's a
8:19
Speaker 2: time when I wouldn't have wanted to go there, and
8:21
Speaker 2: we're back there again. Chicago. Had a great trip to
8:25
Speaker 2: Chicago once, had a great time there. Was on the
8:29
Speaker 2: set of The Dark Night, which is now one of
8:31
Speaker 2: my favorite movies of all time. I was there on
8:35
Speaker 2: the set. I was looking at Gotham City police cars.
8:40
Speaker 2: Don't know that I would go there now, at least
8:43
Speaker 2: not for it. And I had another trip to Chicago
8:45
Speaker 2: years later for a convention. I've kind of stayed in
8:47
Speaker 2: a convention center or a hotel the whole time, wandered
8:50
Speaker 2: outside only when it started to snow in April and
8:54
Speaker 2: it was great. I loved walking out in the snow
8:57
Speaker 2: and taking pictures and wouldn't do it now, got no interest.
9:03
Speaker 2: I mean, this is what we're dealing with with these cities.
9:06
Speaker 2: DC shouldn't be like that. DC should be a place
9:09
Speaker 2: everybody can go. D C belongs to the people, and
9:15
Speaker 2: it should be under control. And we should have I
9:18
Speaker 2: don't know, the lowest crime as far as violent crimes
9:23
Speaker 2: and violent offenders, we should have the lowest in our capital.
9:28
Speaker 2: Why can't we thrive for that? Why can't we strive
9:31
Speaker 2: for that? I guess it's y I don't know why
9:33
Speaker 2: we can't hope for that. That's what we should want.
9:37
Speaker 2: Why would we settle for being and I mean among
9:41
Speaker 2: the worst capital cities, especially of our allies and friends
9:48
Speaker 2: around the world, And I mean some that aren't even
9:50
Speaker 2: necessarily allies and friends. Some are places you'd think, how
9:53
Speaker 2: are we worse than them? Is there more at play though,
9:58
Speaker 2: than what we've been told? It's possible. I mean, this
10:02
Speaker 2: is definitely a bit of a chess match that's going
10:05
Speaker 2: on between Trump and governors in blue states, Governors in
10:11
Speaker 2: states that want to oppose and fight and dig in
10:16
Speaker 2: and do everything possible to keep absolute lawlessness in their
10:22
Speaker 2: major cities, or mayors of some of the cities I've
10:27
Speaker 2: already talked about that just show their incompetence. So you've
10:30
Speaker 2: got governors of cities that you know, keep the water
10:34
Speaker 2: away from where they've been having fires and no real
10:38
Speaker 2: explanation for why, and denial, denial, denial, and mayors there
10:44
Speaker 2: saying well, we should add this all under control. And
10:47
Speaker 2: governors that are saying we're going to fight the redistricting
10:51
Speaker 2: in Texas because you know, we don't want Trump to
10:55
Speaker 2: get an advantage that we've had many times before. So
10:59
Speaker 2: is there more play it could be? I mean, this
11:03
Speaker 2: is definitely a little bit of a flex to say
11:07
Speaker 2: I can do this, I'm gonna do this. But the
11:11
Speaker 2: real question is, as we're hearing that so many on
11:14
Speaker 2: the left, oh, they're digging in. This is terrible. And
11:18
Speaker 2: then there's this report from Joe Scarborough Morning Joe, and
11:23
Speaker 2: he says the people in DC on the left, they're
11:28
Speaker 2: glad they're not going to admit it out loud, but
11:31
Speaker 2: they're saying it behind closed doors. They're saying it in
11:35
Speaker 2: gatherings and meetings and to people that will be friendly
11:39
Speaker 2: and will not necessarily say it on the record, not
11:42
Speaker 2: out them for it, and it's probably true. I mean,
11:49
Speaker 2: would you be honest and say, hey, I'm glad Trump's
11:51
Speaker 2: doing this. No, nobody's going to say they're glad Trump's
11:55
Speaker 2: doing anything. That's just the way politics works. But if
12:00
Speaker 2: you have to work there, and if you live there
12:03
Speaker 2: at least part of the year, you probably don't want
12:06
Speaker 2: to have to look over your shoulder. Probably don't want
12:08
Speaker 2: your car to be carjacked. You probably don't want to think, oh,
12:11
Speaker 2: there may very well be someone who's been arrested and
12:15
Speaker 2: released that's running around with another weapon, ready to commit
12:18
Speaker 2: a crime. Probably not something that you want. You would
12:22
Speaker 2: probably welcome a cleaned up Washington, d C. I would
12:26
Speaker 2: think I would. I wouldn't want to live and function
12:31
Speaker 2: in that world. Why would you? And when you hear
12:36
Speaker 2: about the crimes, by the way, when you hear about
12:38
Speaker 2: the fact that you've got DC that connects to so
12:41
Speaker 2: many states right there, when a crime happens, someone can
12:45
Speaker 2: just instantly exit and leave as that big roundabout takes
12:49
Speaker 2: you straight into Maryland, all of a sudden you're in
12:52
Speaker 2: another state. They don't know which way you went. You
12:54
Speaker 2: can go in all sorts of directions, lots of stay easy,
12:58
Speaker 2: easy to just dip into virgin right, just vanish into
13:03
Speaker 2: thin air. Suddenly you're just gone. And where did they go?
13:07
Speaker 2: Where did the person go who committed this crime? So
13:11
Speaker 2: as good old Morning Joe says that there are people
13:13
Speaker 2: who don't want to admit it, and it's big business
13:17
Speaker 2: because remember how we've been told for a long time
13:21
Speaker 2: that there's no such thing as these companies that get
13:25
Speaker 2: paid to bring in professional protesters. You know, that's been
13:28
Speaker 2: a conspiracy theory. Oh, these people don't exist. It's not
13:31
Speaker 2: a real thing, even though there's lots of evidence to
13:34
Speaker 2: the contrary, namely the fact that there's a company called
13:38
Speaker 2: Crowds on Demand, and the CEO of Crowds on Demand,
13:44
Speaker 2: his name is Adam Swart, talked to Fox News Digital
13:50
Speaker 2: and he says, right now, DC inquiries are up roughly
13:55
Speaker 2: four hundred percent compared to the same period a year ago.
13:59
Speaker 2: This is between May and July of twenty twenty four
14:02
Speaker 2: that he was talking about. And this comes just before
14:08
Speaker 2: this announcement about the federal takeover of the law enforcement
14:12
Speaker 2: in DC. So this crowd rental company says, yeah, people
14:19
Speaker 2: are wanting to bring in crowds, so it's set a
14:24
Speaker 2: large share or focused on opposing Trump's policies in Washington
14:27
Speaker 2: and raising alarms about government overreach. We're weighing those offers
14:32
Speaker 2: carefully because while there's truth in saying DC's local government
14:36
Speaker 2: has been an abject failure in keeping its citizen safe,
14:39
Speaker 2: there's also a real danger in putting too much power
14:42
Speaker 2: in federal hands. That balance of power matters. Yeah, yeah,
14:52
Speaker 2: So just keep in mind these companies that don't exist,
14:56
Speaker 2: these people that aren't professional protesters, are in high demand
15:01
Speaker 2: right now, even though they don't exist, even though there's
15:04
Speaker 2: no such thing. This is all grassroots. Everything that happens
15:07
Speaker 2: is genuine, and people are only coming in because they
15:12
Speaker 2: just felt like, I just have to go in, not
15:14
Speaker 2: because they're getting paid, not because they and their friends
15:17
Speaker 2: this is what they do as a career. Now because
15:21
Speaker 2: they've been showing up the same people that protests all
15:23
Speaker 2: over the country, just because they're genuinely just concerned and
15:27
Speaker 2: there's absolutely no financial benefit to it. They're not filing
15:30
Speaker 2: it on their taxes, they're not reporting this income as
15:34
Speaker 2: their job. They haven't been spotted and changing their appearance
15:39
Speaker 2: slightly or sometimes even wearing the same shirt. They haven't
15:42
Speaker 2: shown up at Trump rallies wearing Trump clothes and then
15:45
Speaker 2: later showed up at another rally wearing something that says
15:48
Speaker 2: they hate Trump. None of that stuff is true. That
15:50
Speaker 2: is all absolute fabrication. There can't be any truth to
15:55
Speaker 2: any of this. This is all just a big sham, right,
16:00
Speaker 2: all a conspiracy theory. And I guess if there's a
16:03
Speaker 2: danger of us running out of conspiracy theories, maybe if
16:07
Speaker 2: there's one like this, we just hold on to it. Right,
16:11
Speaker 2: You have to hold onto a couple and say we're
16:12
Speaker 2: not going to let this one get outed, because we've
16:15
Speaker 2: got to make sure we've got at least one conspiracy
16:17
Speaker 2: theory left. There's actually several. There's several conspiracy theories left that.
16:22
Speaker 2: I mean, we could start at the whole flat earth
16:24
Speaker 2: thing at the very beginning. We get started the flat
16:27
Speaker 2: earth or the moon is filled with air, or any
16:29
Speaker 2: of those. We get start at those. And I think
16:33
Speaker 2: it's about time that we stop pretending that there aren't professional,
16:36
Speaker 2: paid protesters showing up at these city events. Because the
16:41
Speaker 2: CEO just did an interview. Today's show brought to you
16:44
Speaker 2: by Columbus State Universities COCA Cola Space Science Center inspiring

Speaker 2: It's one of those things that when you're watching it
17:43
Speaker 2: in Columbus, Georgia, you think, is this really in Columbus, Georgia.
17:47
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a major city attraction that happens
17:52

Speaker 2: somewhere outside the city lights. You don't want any light interference,
18:16
Speaker 2: and you can do that as well. Upcoming Astronomy Night events.
18:19
Speaker 2: Also on their website, it's CCSSC dot org. As Sean
18:24
Speaker 2: Cruisin says Charlie Charlie SamSam Charlie dot org, I just
18:28
Speaker 2: remind you that it stands for Coca Cola Space Science
18:32
Speaker 2: Center CCSSC dot org. Today's show brought to you by
18:36
Speaker 2: Overhead Door Company of Columbus. For all of your garage
18:39
Speaker 2: door needs, commercial or residential. Maybe you have regular maintenance
18:46
Speaker 2: that it's time for. It's always good to get maintenance
18:49
Speaker 2: on anything that has parts that move and have electronics.
18:53
Speaker 2: The folks at Overhead Door Company of Columbus can take
18:56
Speaker 2: care of squaring that away for you, and while they're there,
18:59
Speaker 2: you can always asking questions about some of the maybe
19:02
Speaker 2: cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
19:05
Speaker 2: Maybe your curb appeal isn't quite what you want it
19:08
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:10
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:13
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:17
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
19:20
Speaker 2: issue that you've got. With colder or warmer weather, sometimes
19:24
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
19:27
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
19:30
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
19:33
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
19:36
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
19:39
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
19:41
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
19:43
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
19:45
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
19:48
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
19:51
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
19:53
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
19:57
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do the
20:00

20:06
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carrol Morning Show right after
20:10
Speaker 2: the break. So let's talk about this story that has
20:21
Speaker 2: now started to go viral, and this is a tough one.
20:26
Speaker 2: This is a tough one. So there's a twenty one
20:30
Speaker 2: year old woman named Josie Stenson. She lives in Salem, Massachusetts,
20:36
Speaker 2: and she signed up for an anti loneliness event. Okay,
20:42
Speaker 2: twenty one years old. She said she just felt lonely,
20:44
Speaker 2: wanted to meet some people. Paid twelve dollars for a
20:48
Speaker 2: ticket on event bright the Anti Loneliness Club meet up.
20:56
Speaker 2: The dinner promise. Sorry, The ticket promised dinner and socializing
21:00
Speaker 2: at a restaurant. When she arrived, sat down, was seated
21:05
Speaker 2: at a table for six. No one else showed up.
21:10
Speaker 2: She says the restaurant staff had no knowledge of the event.
21:13
Speaker 2: She waited alone at a six person table, eventually receiving
21:17
Speaker 2: a free cake from the sympathetic restaurant owner. She shared
21:20
Speaker 2: her story on TikTok and that went viral about a
21:24
Speaker 2: million views right away. She says that she's she shared
21:28
Speaker 2: the clip many people have reached out to share similar
21:30
Speaker 2: stories and offer support. She says that despite the disappointment,
21:35
Speaker 2: she remains optimistic and open to future meetups, and she says,
21:40
Speaker 2: learning to laugh at yourself in those situations the best
21:42
Speaker 2: thing you can do. Because I got embarrassed or wallowed.
21:45
Speaker 2: If I got embarrassed or wallowed, it would have been
21:47
Speaker 2: a worse experience. She said. Life isn't that series. You
21:49
Speaker 2: put yourself out there. You know you tried. It's better
21:52
Speaker 2: than not trying at all. Ouch, but a positive message
21:57
Speaker 2: to come out of it. I guess. So I guess
21:59
Speaker 2: good for her and for people to be made aware.
22:02
Speaker 2: You don't set up an anti loneliness meeting. Whoever organized it,
22:08
Speaker 2: at the very least they should have showed up right.
22:12
Speaker 2: According to a new survey, the most attractive hobby that
22:17
Speaker 2: a man can have is reading. Ninety eight percent of
22:20
Speaker 2: women pauled said it was the most attractive hobby. Second
22:24
Speaker 2: most attractive hobby was learning other languages, followed by playing
22:28
Speaker 2: an instrument, cooking, and woodworking. The least attractive hobby for men,
22:33
Speaker 2: according to the survey, was being in online manisphere groups,
22:38
Speaker 2: followed by gambling and adult entertainment. Fair I don't know
22:45
Speaker 2: what a manisphere group is, to be completely honest, but
22:48
Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of gambling, and I absolutely
22:51
Speaker 2: understand why all three of these things would be considered
22:55
Speaker 2: least attractive things for women. To find out, So the
23:00
Speaker 2: idea for escape rooms. You know what it is, You brainstorm,
23:07
Speaker 2: you figure out how to get out of the escape room. Well,
23:10
Speaker 2: some people are bringing AI into the mix and using
23:13
Speaker 2: it to solve the escape room puzzles. Someone on social
23:19
Speaker 2: media bringing it to light saying it was the ultimate
23:22
Speaker 2: fun killer. Why would you do that? It's like basically
23:26
Speaker 2: just going into a corn maze and then wanting a
23:30
Speaker 2: straight line to the very end. There's no fun in that. Yeah,
23:33
Speaker 2: and using AI in these escape rooms hasn't even necessarily
23:38
Speaker 2: been that helpful because it doesn't know the room's layout
23:41
Speaker 2: or specific specific puzzles, and it gives sometimes hilariously wrong answers.
23:46
Speaker 2: Well maybe that's the reason to do it. It's like
23:47
Speaker 2: watching a bad movie. So yeah, the staff at escape
23:53
Speaker 2: rooms are starting to catch on and they say you
23:55
Speaker 2: have to lock up your phone now to keep the
23:56
Speaker 2: game fair and fun. There you go. That's good. So interesting.
24:02
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I mean, obviously people would think
24:04
Speaker 2: of that as a great hack. But Chick fil A
24:07
Speaker 2: no longer the number one fast food chain. That title
24:12
Speaker 2: now belongs to Del Taco. How did this happen? Which
24:16
Speaker 2: is claimed the spot top Spot is America's favorite fast
24:18
Speaker 2: food chain. According to USA Today's annual rankings. So Taco's burritos,
24:25
Speaker 2: crinkle cut fries some vegan options only has six hundred
24:29
Speaker 2: locations in the US, but it's managed to climb to
24:32
Speaker 2: the top. They're owned by Jack in the Box, which
24:35
Speaker 2: came in second place on the list. Sounds like somebody
24:38
Speaker 2: bought some advertising with the USA Today. Next was A
24:42
Speaker 2: and W in third place. Chick fil A dropped to fourth.
24:46
Speaker 2: The list also named the best fast food burger out there,
24:48
Speaker 2: and that winner was the double char At Habit Burger
24:53
Speaker 2: and grill. Interesting. Jack in the Box didn't get it.
24:57
Speaker 2: I got questions about this survey, this poll, whatever they did.
25:01
Speaker 2: I don't know this ranking, I don't get it doesn't
25:03
Speaker 2: make any sense to me. I like Del Taco, just fine.
25:06
Speaker 2: Good for them. Just find this all a little sus
25:09
Speaker 2: don't you. It's a little bit interesting. Something about this
25:12
Speaker 2: doesn't seem right. Just maybe some advertising was purchased. I
25:17
Speaker 2: don't know. That'll do it for this Wednesday edition of
