Had a look through the state government health websites for each of the other 49 states, the CDC, and a few other sources (to look for PCR testing thresholds).
Learned something, either: I'm very bad at looking this up, I don't know where to look, and/or most states aren't very transparent at all.
Also learned that while they are all happy to make it easy for you to find information for testing and vaccines on their government websites, they seem less interested in sharing PCR data (shocking right?). Some of the state government websites barely talked about PCR's, some described them quite well without giving their thresholds.
Only have PCR thresholds for 5 out of 50 states, namely: Alaska, Kansas, Minnesota, Oregon, and, Tennessee. Four of these have 35-40 (at times of latest PCR threshold release), and one has < 33.
I suspect either Rocco has access to information not shown below, or, he's referring to a previous month early on in the pandemic when PCR's were higher (there's one case below where it dropped after 4-5 months).

Nice work. My guess is most of these states send it to Lab Corp or one of the other labs and trust them to use the default thresholds for Covid.
