Heat Waves Severely Burn City Residents
Doug McIntyre and David Callaway discuss a new lethal threat from heat in the U.S.: burns from extremely hot surfaces. In Phoenix, several incidents occurred where air temperatures of 120 degrees made asphalt reach 180 degrees. This poses a significant infrastructure problem, as urban designs can exacerbate heat retention. New York, for instance, experiences heightened heat due to humidity and heat-trapping buildings. In cities like Phoenix, people faint from the heat, falling and suffering severe burns from hot surfaces. The conversation highlights the danger to both people and pets, comparing the situation to frying eggs on sidewalks. Doug mentions a sign in a Florida marina warning of third-degree burns from walking barefoot on a hot dock. The speakers stress the urgent need for cities to develop solutions, such as cooler walking areas, to prevent such heat-related injuries.

Steve Bannon's trial in border wall fundraising case set for December, after his ongoing prison term
While Steve Bannon serves a four-month federal prison term, the conservative strategist now has a December date for a different trial in New York, where he’s charged with scheming to con donors who gave money to build a border wall with Mexico. With Bannon excused from court because of his incarceration, a judge Tuesday scheduled jury selection to start Dec. 9 in the “We Build the Wall” case. The trial had been expected as soon as September but was postponed because Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, is in a federal penitentiary in Connecticut. Bannon is behind bars because he was convicted of defying a congressional subpoena related to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He’s due to be released in late October. The judge in the New York case, April Newbauer, said she wanted to allow enough time for Bannon to meet with his lawyers and review trial exhibits and things she described as “difficult to go over during counsel visits in prison.”
