Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Nobody has used the Burnbank composting bin, the City of
Burbank mandatory composting bin.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Here at KFI.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Here at KFI we went.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We got, well, we got as I mentioned last hour,
we got a memo instructing us that we're supposed to
put all our compostable garbage in this bin. So I
went into the lund room there looking for the bin,
and it's very confusing in there because there's black bins
I guess for regular garbage, and then there are two
bins that have green tops with circular openings, and I thought, well,
(00:41):
those must be the composting bins because I saw green.
It's like, no, I guess they're meant for bottles and cans. Yeah,
it's recycling, recycling, right, Well, I confuse the recycling bins
for the composting bin. So I'm looking around, So where's
the composting bit. This little tiny green thing under the sink,
one little and nothing in, nothing in the bin. So
(01:05):
I just want to make clear that apparently now this
this memo went out at eight point fifty six am
on Friday, So it's been more than seventy two hours
and not one single employee has dropped one piece of
compostable material in the mandatory composting bin.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
We have rule breakers here again, FI.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I mean it's supposed to be food scraps, meat bones,
dairy and produce peels and coffee grounds and food soiled paper.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
There must be people who produced that kind of garbage.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Oh no, I did have a banana last week and
I threw it in here.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Look at that, your violator.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I forgot.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
That is not best practices.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
No, it's not. Man, I screwed up.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I'm going to keep track. We last week while I
was on vacation once in a while. Look at the
news and they get all pissed off. Cardinal Mahoney, who
I thought was dead, But it's not. He's John Manley's
press release puts it the disgraced cardinal. He's the guy
who covered up all the child sex abuse, all the
(02:10):
child rape that his priests were committing for decades. And
Mahoney was eventually forced out and he's been in some
kind of limbo ever since.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
But they were.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Resurrected him as the official LA archdiocese representative to Rome
for Cardinal Francis's I'm sorry Pope Francis's funeral, and John Manley,
who represented many of the sex abuse victims here in
La County, was angry with that. I was angry with that.
Let's get John Manley on and we could both shout
at each other.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
John, how are you, hey, John, how are you?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I'm all right, No, I was. I was smacking myself
in the head when I saw this.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Yeah, it's it's uh. You just can't believe it. You
just when you think you know they're turning a corner,
they bring this. And who's a cardinal out of Los
Angeles where he's not allowed to have any public ministry
according to the current archbishop because of his crimes against children.
(03:13):
He allowed, for example, father Michael Baker, who was a
prolific pedophile who went to Mahoney in nineteen eighty eight
and said I'm having sex with kids, and he said, okay,
go to therapy. He came back, put him back in
a parish and he molested more kids. I represented him.
I know the toll. And he has the honor of
(03:34):
witnessing the closing of Francis's casket at the funeral. And
then discloses that he was very close to the Pope
and exchanged many many letters with him over the years
and blah blah blah. So what does that tell us?
It tells us that number one, apparently Pope Francis didn't
(03:55):
it wasn't offended by his behavior, which is troubling. And
number two, I think important thing is what message does
that send to other bishops and cardinals throughout the world
who are covering this up or might cover it up.
And the answer is nothing's going to happen. And the
victims out there, of the priests heat concealed and they
(04:15):
allowed to molest how do they feel. I've spoken to
a couple of them and they don't feel good. And
you know, it just it just is sad. And you
I think institutions are important and the church has an
important role to play, but they just these bishops are
(04:37):
who they are and I don't think anything's going to
really change. It makes me sad.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I remember, because you know, this is going back over
twenty years ago, but we had a source who sent
us sixty emails of Cardinal Mahoney actively covering up I remember, Yeah,
we broke that story was an exclusive story and covering
(05:03):
up with his staff members information regarding the priests who
had been raping children. He wanted to keep it away
from the media.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
And frankly, if anybody else imagine if Southwest Airlines was
covering up for pedophile flight attendants and those emails were leaked,
not only would the DA have been involved and people
have been indicted, the FBI would have been involved. The
US Attorney would have been involved. Here nothing happened to him.
(05:32):
Some priests went to jail, not many, but some, and
he just walked free. And he continues to live this
luxurious life where he flies first class to Rome and
people kiss his ring. And the truth is he's a criminal,
and he's a criminal who protected pedophiles, who gets to
close the casket of the pope? And it makes you wonder,
(05:58):
you know, I remember some priests telling me a kid,
what would Jesus do? I don't know, man, I don't
think Jesus would be too happy about that, But maybe
that's just me.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You would you'd hope that Jesus would say, what the
hell is he doing here?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Why? Why? Why is he he completely kicked out of
the church.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Well, I almost think that that that you know, Jesus
is still president in the church, but I don't think
he's particularly happy with the bishops and cardinals or frankly
popes that have been presided over this, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Because he's a criminal.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But he's not a criminal like he embezzled a million
dollars what. He's a criminal who covered up child rape
that went on for decades.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
That. Yeah, I'm not much on quoting the Bible, but
I do remember from the nuns and Saint Catherine's military
school who were German drilled into me, is that Matthew's
Gospel says, you know, it would be better to throw
yourself with a rock into the sea than to hurt
one of my little ones. It's from matthew Gospel. I
(07:01):
often told judges that, and uh, you know, and mediators
and things like that, and they just seem to have
forgotten that, you know. The rest. I just don't understand
how an institution can hurt children on this scale and
still uh be regarded as legitimate. And that's not to
say that I'm not talking about the faithful, and I'm
not talking about their beliefs. I'm talking about the leadership.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And why do you want him representing your faith and
your beliefs exactly.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
That's exactly the question. And the answer is troubling, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, and the financial disaster that he brought the la
ar Styce billion and a half dollars, yeah, two.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Well, actually it's on the upwards of two billion. And
you know he still gets the cousted. You know, it's
it's like honoring the guy that covered up for Jeffrey Epstein.
Bring him in, you know, cover here. You know, you've
covered up for pedophiles. But you know, you have a
neat hat and a great outfit and you're ninety one
(08:01):
years old. You know, you get to close the pope's deal.
Get out of here. He really closed. That was his
that was his role. He witnessed the closing of the
clasket and closed the casket. So you know, nice, whoa
great What is the what is the you know it
was he carried out by pedophiles. I mean obviously that
(08:22):
didn't happen, but I mean it's just it's despicable. There
no other words for it.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
It is and it makes me question everybody in the
hierarchy that that nobody had the power of the influence
the good sense to say no, not that guy, almost
anyone else. Why that guy, He was the most notorious
in the nation.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Because they've all done it, They've all covered up, and
nobody wants to say it. But it's the truth. And
you know, some are better than others others. And there's
definitely been improvement, largely because of the few prelates that
have gone to jail in this country. But and the liability.
But it's still a troubled it's a troubled organization of
(09:04):
that trouble culture where you would allow somebody who let
children be savaged close the you know, close the pope's
casket of the most public ritual in the you know,
in the history of the Church's it's sickening.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Well, John, I'm so glad you still speak out on
this because it should never be forgotten. And I'm never
going to stop either. You could spend obviously we still
have a big issue here. Yeah, we do, all right, John.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Thanks for coming on see it mass.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Pray for me. John Manly.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
He is.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
The attorney that represented so many of the victims of
the child sex abuse, child rape committed by priests, covered
up and enabled by Cardio Mahoney. And you could see
and after ninety one years and he spent about twenty
five years now in disgrace. Mahoney is still honored by
the highest circles of the Catholic Church in Rome. And
(09:59):
John's John's Law from his manly Stuart and finaldi all right,
we've got coming up after two thirty we are going
to talk I know you're ready. We're going to talk
about Karen Bass cutting the budgets of animal services here
in La.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
What's going to happen to the animals.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
They're going to die if that's that's all they can do,
is Mike.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
You know what, John, people.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I hope that people listen to you and they go
and they rush to these animal shelters and go and adopt.
I know a lot of animal shelters are having free
adoptions because they just they need to offload these animals.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I know, I know that it's you adopt them or
they're going to die because Karen Bass doesn't want to
pay for it anymore. It's more importantly give them money
to the homeless.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
You're listening to John Cobelt on Demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
We mentioned earlier that tomorrow the La County Union Workers
fifty five thousand of them, first ever strike of its kind,
and it's going to be for forty eight hours, including
those who clear homeless encampments.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
The jokes are too easy, aren't they?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
The biggest failures the clearly the biggest failures in county
government are those who clear homeless encampments. But they're going
on strike and they want more money. And at the
same time, the La Times did a story about the
huge amount of cash that's going to pour in to
(11:35):
the city and county because you passed Measure A last November.
It's a half cent sales tax. All the money, all
the prizes going to the homeless people. So the people
in the encampments that the county is incapable of clearing,
that the city is incapable of clearing, all that money
(11:56):
is going to continue to pour in. And all the
criminals in parasites who work in city and county government,
who work in those fake, phony nonprofits, they are going
to reap in a billion, five hundred million.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
That is just unbelievable. And The Times, Doug Smith is the.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Writer his lead paragraph, after nearly a decade of unprecedented
taxpayer spending on homelessness, with little to show and improvement
on the streets.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
It's not just me. This La Times writer too noticed
nothing's changed. The giant nonprofits behind the measures.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
That's the giant not on there. That Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
The giant nonprofits asked voters to double down, and they
doubled the tax.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
The nonprofits that steal the money they financed the campaigns.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
To vote for measure.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So the people who stole money from you successfully convinced
you to give them more money even though nothing is improved.
Maybe if you have somebody like Tracy Park as your councilwoman,
which I do. Specific neighborhoods can get cleaned up. But
(13:23):
I'm the hole in the city. Oh my god, all
the neighborhoods you don't go to.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Woooo.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
There's apparently a new layer of bureaucracy now that's being
financed by this billion and a half dollars. Doug Smith says,
it's a complex system of oversight, a complex system. Great,
how about here's some money, shovel all their garbage into
(13:56):
this trash truck and you drive these people out to
the desert. Okay, that that that You don't need complexity
for that, And of course it's supposed to increase what
are the magic words, transparency and accountability. So now they
are these uh, these new UH agencies.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
U L A C O C.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
L t r h A E c r h A
and l A c A H s A. Now behind
those agencies are oversight boards. You know who's on the
oversite boards? Experts, the same experts who've blown billions of
(14:45):
dollars and stolen, well stolen billions of dollars. Experts from government. Yeah,
experts from business, housing development and homeless services. Come on,
when does it stop? I think it's pitchfork time. I
(15:11):
think it's time to organize in the streets with pitchforks.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Ah who's on one of these boards?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Nythia Rahman, the idiot LA City councilwoman, says she's optimistic
that the two boards that she sits on, the E
C R H A and the L A C A
H s A, will allow us to improve coordination and
communication between all the different players, but so far, she
feels frustrated. I've invested a lot of time into it,
(15:45):
but so far, the time I've invested in it has
not necessarily yielded outcomes that I think are better for
the city. She was the woman who knew absolutely nothing
about the encampments in her neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
She wouldn't even help. But the guy who was assaulted by.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
The vagrant who is waving a bag of feces around
in the air, and Clauber the guy's car with a
bag of theeces and went up to Ramen publicly, and
Ramen gave her, gave him the cold stare.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
We're coming up.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
You're listening to John Cobels on Demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
John Cobelt Show.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
in case you missed the first hour and a half,
that's what we have the podcast for posted after four o'clock.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Also on the iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It's called John Cobelt Show on Demand and it's so
you can catch up on what you missed. Podcast every
day posted after the show. You should do that. Lots
of people do. All right, this is this is an atrocity.
Karen Bass is going to close half the shelters, half
(16:57):
of the pet shelters in Los Angeles. They're cutting because
she's got a billion dollar deficit. Cut five million dollars
from the Los Angeles Animal Services. Yeah, Los Angeles Animal
Services budget specifically, and it's it's taken a bigger hit
(17:17):
than most departments.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Yeah, why is that we have a problem.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
So many animals are already being euthanized and everybody's so
upset about it, and now you want to close half
the shelters. And in fact, I think some of the
county workers that are expected to go on strike tonight
work at these animal shelters.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
They're closing the shelter where we got our dog are
are Leo. We went to the West La shelter ten
years ago and that's being closed. Possibly the Harbor West
Valley shelters. There's only six and they're going to close three.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
So what's going to happen. We're just going to kill
all of these helpless animals.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Cambass is gonna kill dogs.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
And ca Okay, I'm sorry, there's other places that she
should be cutting, not the animal shelters.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, we got another billion and a half dollars for
the failed homeless program, so that the parasites can leach
more money from the tax payers and the homelessness gets
worse and worse.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Wait a second, John measure, A right, why don't we
take that money because we could rescind that right, Why
don't we take that money instead of putting it toward
the homeless because we know that the money going to
the homeless right has been misappropriated and there's all these problems,
and put that toward the animal shelters.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I mean, sixty two employees are going to be laid off,
sixty other vacant positions will be eliminated, So that's potentially
one hundred and twenty two staff members either out of
work or never be hired. Animal control officers, veterinary technicians.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Fox eleven did a report last year because the employees
were speaking out the shelters, we're killing healthy dogs just
to make room.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
And that was a big scandal.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Because Stacy Dannis, the general manager, resigned a month after
the report. And so they're gonna have to now shift
the dogs in the three shelters that are closing to
the three that are remaining open.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
But they're going to run out of space.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
There's already not enough space.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yeah, already five to ten dogs are killed every week
because of overcrowding.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Oh, come on, and you know what is really sad.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
It is so true that there are healthy puppies and
dogs and cats and kittens that are being euthanized because
there's no room. It's not even that these are troubled animals,
animals that are sick puppies, kittens, babies.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Here's what else happens when you get the death notice.
When you put on the death list, they take you off.
I'm talking about a dog here. Okay, they take you
off the website and put him in the back where
the public can't see them. So the dog is going
to die and they're not giving any chance of reprieve
(20:12):
if you put them on the website and said, hey,
these six dogs are about to get about to get
to the death penalty. Maybe somebody is going to show up. No,
don't you don't even know they exist?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Well that's stupid.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Renee Roustin is the founder of Start Rescue. The shelter
system is so overburdened to cut the budget and fire
staff members is ludicrous. These budget cuts are a knee
jerk reaction. This is not leadership. Leadership finds ways to
increase revenue only only for the thieves in the homeless industry.
All the increased revenue goes to those thieves. It doesn't
(20:48):
even go to the homeless, obviously. It goes to the criminals,
the friends and relatives of everyone in the mayor's office
and the city council's office and anyone else who's connected
bureaucratically to city Hall. If you need more money for
your shelter system, go and do a like a door
(21:09):
to door canvas to license dogs every day are not licensed,
So go after it. That's money you're not capturing. Sushie
Ross is a volunteer at a local animal shelter. She says,
what's going on is disgusting. Zach Sidell, that insufferable wiener
(21:29):
who lies for Bass well he's the Deputy mayor for communications,
says this is false. We are setting aside funding in
the unappropriated balance to restore those cuts. Yeah, but right
now it's on the books that it's getting cut. So
why are you cutting it just to restore it somewhere else?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, that makes zero sense.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Well it sounds like they're getting such a blowback here,
Yeah they are.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
So it's like, well, this is what they claimed with
the fire department. They cut the fire department greatly last
year and then tried to clean up the mess by saying, well,
we reappropriated money here, not that it did any good
when the palisades burned down. Yeah, and the fire department
always claimed that Bass was lying, that they're work cuts,
(22:15):
And now the animal shelters are disputing what they don't
tell the truth in Bass's city Hall, they don't.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
If you're looking for an animal, really seriously, right now
is the time to go to a shelter. I know
so many people they want the so called designer dogs.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
But you know what, you can find some of those
in the shelters. You can't.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
They're not just I'm not even gonna name the names
of certain dogs that people don't want, because everybody has
a different idea of what they want they don't want,
but there are some amazing dogs that you can find
in these shelters.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
What is the obsession with designer dogs?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
I'm telling you people, especially the Golden Doodle, the labradoodle,
the this and the that doodle.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I mean, they're cute. Is that I don't know?
Speaker 4 (23:04):
But let me say because I have friends that have
those dogs, they are very cute. I can understand the appeal,
But there are too many dogs that need to be
saved from the shelters. Go to those shelters first, adopt,
don't buy.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Or the verge of destroying your social standard.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
I know, I know, and trust me once again, I
have a big mouth, I do. But you know what,
here's a platform that we could use to tell people
to do this.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
No, I got my dog from a shelter. I got
our cat from the shelter too.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
You and I got my two dogs. Actually, my two
dogs were not from the shelter. They were from rescue
groups who save dogs from shelters, or they find dogs
that are stray, so before they go to a shelter,
they take them in.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Why is Karen Bath so bad at this? And Garcetti
was bad at this? I mean, Daniel Guss is a
big animal lover and he has written many columns online
is a substack and he's written He's very passionate, has
written many columns about just all the corruption that goes
on and all the mistreatment of the animals and just
the disorganization. I don't get it. Why is it so hard?
(24:11):
Why are the simple things so hard? Because they don't
care about any of this. They don't care about about
dogs getting killed. That's why they kill a lot of them.
You think it bothers Karen Bass and she's killing ten
dogs a week. I'm she had no problem with thousands
of homes burning down. She has no problem with thousands
of people living on the streets and thousands dying on
the streets every year. They're all just in it for
(24:32):
the money. More coming up.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A sixty.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I forgot to mention the Moistline's coming back Friday, eight
seven seven Moist eighty six eight seven seven Moist eighty
six After Debor's News, Alex Stone from ABC News is
coming on. You heard in Vancouver somebody drove a car
into a big crowd, killed the people, injured dozens more.
(25:02):
And he's got a history of mental health issues.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Again, all you had to do was lock him up.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
The authorities knew he was a lunatic, but they let
him out.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
And what did he do?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Mowed down and killed eleven people, actually mowed down dozens more.
Talk about that coming up after three o'clock. It's not
so hard if I say Harvard Medical School, right, I
probably think.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Very elite.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
University, probably the best doctors, right, Yes, most educated people
working there. Apparently the hiring standards at the Morgue not
so good at the Morgue. Well, yet, a lot of
people donate their bodies to Harvard Medical School so that
they could do research and experiments. Well, the guy who
(25:57):
ran the Morgue, Sidric Lodge, he uh, he was stealing
body parts that had been donated for research, and he
sold them for thousands of dollars. Now you're saying, who
would buy thousands of dollars of old, used human bodies.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
It's not like somebody who is alive, right needs a
new heart, right right?
Speaker 3 (26:25):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
So, yeah, if he was selling organs, I could get that, right.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
What's what's the point here?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Well, apparently there are people who collect body parts. That's
that's their hobby. I don't know if they use it
as decor or put it on the wall. Hey, you
want to see what's in this drawer? He it's New
(26:51):
York Times says he turned the Morgue into a shopping
emporium selling brains, skin and other parts. And there was
a whole criminal network, including his wife, and he would
drive the stolen body parts from Harvard Medical School to
(27:11):
his home in New Hampshire and did this for five years,
and now he's pleading guilty and could face some years
in prison and a heavy fine. The dean of the
Harvard Medical School says Cedric Lodge's criminal actions were morally
(27:32):
reprehensible and a disgraceful betrayal of the individuals who chose
to wield their bodies.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I bet he's being haunted by those ghosts.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
And you end up in somebody's trophy case.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Can you imagine. I mean, not that you would know, not.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
That I would know. No, I don't know this world.
And they also they also prosecuted six six other people
and they've pled guilty or agreed to plead guilty. He
would dissect the cadavers. He would cut their heads off,
they got their brains, bones, skin, and then he would
(28:10):
ship the remains to buyers. I would guess that's an
extra charge. Yeah, I mean, there's there's some ups driver
with a brain, with a box of brains as somebody severed.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
That's awful. I'd be so pissed off. And that was
my family members.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
You think you're doing a good thing.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
You're donating a body to science and maybe they'll save
lives down the road. Apparently they let people come in
to the morgue to pick out which body parts they wanted.
There was a woman named Katrina McLean. She owns a
store in Massachusetts called Cats Creepy Creations, Creations that shock
(28:56):
the mind and shake the soul.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
That's her slogan.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
And in October twenty twenty, she toured the morgue and
chose two dissected faces. Oh come on, and so Cedric
Lodge sold her two faces for six hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Oh that's a bargain. What is wrong with people?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
They found one transaction where a guy named Joshua Taylor
sent Lodge one thousand dollars with the memo on the
invoice read head number seven.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
This is a terrible job.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Really, I can't believe that there are people in this
world to do that.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Head number seven and number six was not so good,
But seven, that's that's the head I want.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Okay, we're really really a bad spec.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Yes, we really are, all right?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Coming up after three o'clock, another member of the really
bad species ran over lots of people up in Vancouver,
killed dozens more injured.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Who is this guy?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Well, turns out he was a well known mental patient
to local authorities, so of course he was running around free.
This is at a street festival. Alex Stone has more
on that. Deborah Mark Live in the KFI twenty four
hour Newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobalt
Show podcast. You can always hear the show live on
KFI Am six forty from one to four pm every
Monday through Friday, and of course anytime on demand on
(30:25):
the iHeartRadio app
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Nobody has used the Burnbank composting bin, the City of
Burbank mandatory composting bin.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Here at KFI.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Here at KFI we went.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We got, well, we got as I mentioned last hour,
we got a memo instructing us that we're supposed to
put all our compostable garbage in this bin. So I
went into the lund room there looking for the bin,
and it's very confusing in there because there's black bins
I guess for regular garbage, and then there are two
bins that have green tops with circular openings, and I thought, well,
(00:41):
those must be the composting bins because I saw green.
It's like, no, I guess they're meant for bottles and cans. Yeah,
it's recycling, recycling, right, Well, I confuse the recycling bins
for the composting bin. So I'm looking around, So where's
the composting bit. This little tiny green thing under the sink,
one little and nothing in, nothing in the bin. So
(01:05):
I just want to make clear that apparently now this
this memo went out at eight point fifty six am
on Friday, So it's been more than seventy two hours
and not one single employee has dropped one piece of
compostable material in the mandatory composting bin.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
We have rule breakers here again, FI.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I mean it's supposed to be food scraps, meat bones,
dairy and produce peels and coffee grounds and food soiled paper.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
There must be people who produced that kind of garbage.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Oh no, I did have a banana last week and
I threw it in here.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Look at that, your violator.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I forgot.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
That is not best practices.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
No, it's not. Man, I screwed up.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I'm going to keep track. We last week while I
was on vacation once in a while. Look at the
news and they get all pissed off. Cardinal Mahoney, who
I thought was dead, But it's not. He's John Manley's
press release puts it the disgraced cardinal. He's the guy
who covered up all the child sex abuse, all the
(02:10):
child rape that his priests were committing for decades. And
Mahoney was eventually forced out and he's been in some
kind of limbo ever since.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
But they were.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Resurrected him as the official LA archdiocese representative to Rome
for Cardinal Francis's I'm sorry Pope Francis's funeral, and John Manley,
who represented many of the sex abuse victims here in
La County, was angry with that. I was angry with that.
Let's get John Manley on and we could both shout
at each other.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
John, how are you, hey, John, how are you?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I'm all right, No, I was. I was smacking myself
in the head when I saw this.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Yeah, it's it's uh. You just can't believe it. You
just when you think you know they're turning a corner,
they bring this. And who's a cardinal out of Los
Angeles where he's not allowed to have any public ministry
according to the current archbishop because of his crimes against children.
(03:13):
He allowed, for example, father Michael Baker, who was a
prolific pedophile who went to Mahoney in nineteen eighty eight
and said I'm having sex with kids, and he said, okay,
go to therapy. He came back, put him back in
a parish and he molested more kids. I represented him.
I know the toll. And he has the honor of
(03:34):
witnessing the closing of Francis's casket at the funeral. And
then discloses that he was very close to the Pope
and exchanged many many letters with him over the years
and blah blah blah. So what does that tell us?
It tells us that number one, apparently Pope Francis didn't
(03:55):
it wasn't offended by his behavior, which is troubling. And
number two, I think important thing is what message does
that send to other bishops and cardinals throughout the world
who are covering this up or might cover it up.
And the answer is nothing's going to happen. And the
victims out there, of the priests heat concealed and they
(04:15):
allowed to molest how do they feel. I've spoken to
a couple of them and they don't feel good. And
you know, it just it just is sad. And you
I think institutions are important and the church has an
important role to play, but they just these bishops are
(04:37):
who they are and I don't think anything's going to
really change. It makes me sad.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I remember, because you know, this is going back over
twenty years ago, but we had a source who sent
us sixty emails of Cardinal Mahoney actively covering up I remember, Yeah,
we broke that story was an exclusive story and covering
(05:03):
up with his staff members information regarding the priests who
had been raping children. He wanted to keep it away
from the media.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
And frankly, if anybody else imagine if Southwest Airlines was
covering up for pedophile flight attendants and those emails were leaked,
not only would the DA have been involved and people
have been indicted, the FBI would have been involved. The
US Attorney would have been involved. Here nothing happened to him.
(05:32):
Some priests went to jail, not many, but some, and
he just walked free. And he continues to live this
luxurious life where he flies first class to Rome and
people kiss his ring. And the truth is he's a criminal,
and he's a criminal who protected pedophiles, who gets to
close the casket of the pope? And it makes you wonder,
(05:58):
you know, I remember some priests telling me a kid,
what would Jesus do? I don't know, man, I don't
think Jesus would be too happy about that, But maybe
that's just me.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You would you'd hope that Jesus would say, what the
hell is he doing here?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Why? Why? Why is he he completely kicked out of
the church.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Well, I almost think that that that you know, Jesus
is still president in the church, but I don't think
he's particularly happy with the bishops and cardinals or frankly
popes that have been presided over this, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Because he's a criminal.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But he's not a criminal like he embezzled a million
dollars what. He's a criminal who covered up child rape
that went on for decades.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
That. Yeah, I'm not much on quoting the Bible, but
I do remember from the nuns and Saint Catherine's military
school who were German drilled into me, is that Matthew's
Gospel says, you know, it would be better to throw
yourself with a rock into the sea than to hurt
one of my little ones. It's from matthew Gospel. I
(07:01):
often told judges that, and uh, you know, and mediators
and things like that, and they just seem to have
forgotten that, you know. The rest. I just don't understand
how an institution can hurt children on this scale and
still uh be regarded as legitimate. And that's not to
say that I'm not talking about the faithful, and I'm
not talking about their beliefs. I'm talking about the leadership.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And why do you want him representing your faith and
your beliefs exactly.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
That's exactly the question. And the answer is troubling, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, and the financial disaster that he brought the la
ar Styce billion and a half dollars, yeah, two.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Well, actually it's on the upwards of two billion. And
you know he still gets the cousted. You know, it's
it's like honoring the guy that covered up for Jeffrey Epstein.
Bring him in, you know, cover here. You know, you've
covered up for pedophiles. But you know, you have a
neat hat and a great outfit and you're ninety one
(08:01):
years old. You know, you get to close the pope's deal.
Get out of here. He really closed. That was his
that was his role. He witnessed the closing of the
clasket and closed the casket. So you know, nice, whoa
great What is the what is the you know it
was he carried out by pedophiles. I mean obviously that
(08:22):
didn't happen, but I mean it's just it's despicable. There
no other words for it.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
It is and it makes me question everybody in the
hierarchy that that nobody had the power of the influence
the good sense to say no, not that guy, almost
anyone else. Why that guy, He was the most notorious
in the nation.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Because they've all done it, They've all covered up, and
nobody wants to say it. But it's the truth. And
you know, some are better than others others. And there's
definitely been improvement, largely because of the few prelates that
have gone to jail in this country. But and the liability.
But it's still a troubled it's a troubled organization of
(09:04):
that trouble culture where you would allow somebody who let
children be savaged close the you know, close the pope's
casket of the most public ritual in the you know,
in the history of the Church's it's sickening.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Well, John, I'm so glad you still speak out on
this because it should never be forgotten. And I'm never
going to stop either. You could spend obviously we still
have a big issue here. Yeah, we do, all right, John.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Thanks for coming on see it mass.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Pray for me. John Manly.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
He is.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
The attorney that represented so many of the victims of
the child sex abuse, child rape committed by priests, covered
up and enabled by Cardio Mahoney. And you could see
and after ninety one years and he spent about twenty
five years now in disgrace. Mahoney is still honored by
the highest circles of the Catholic Church in Rome. And
(09:59):
John's John's Law from his manly Stuart and finaldi all right,
we've got coming up after two thirty we are going
to talk I know you're ready. We're going to talk
about Karen Bass cutting the budgets of animal services here
in La.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
What's going to happen to the animals.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
They're going to die if that's that's all they can do,
is Mike.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
You know what, John, people.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I hope that people listen to you and they go
and they rush to these animal shelters and go and adopt.
I know a lot of animal shelters are having free
adoptions because they just they need to offload these animals.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I know, I know that it's you adopt them or
they're going to die because Karen Bass doesn't want to
pay for it anymore. It's more importantly give them money
to the homeless.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
You're listening to John Cobelt on Demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
We mentioned earlier that tomorrow the La County Union Workers
fifty five thousand of them, first ever strike of its kind,
and it's going to be for forty eight hours, including
those who clear homeless encampments.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
The jokes are too easy, aren't they?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
The biggest failures the clearly the biggest failures in county
government are those who clear homeless encampments. But they're going
on strike and they want more money. And at the
same time, the La Times did a story about the
huge amount of cash that's going to pour in to
(11:35):
the city and county because you passed Measure A last November.
It's a half cent sales tax. All the money, all
the prizes going to the homeless people. So the people
in the encampments that the county is incapable of clearing,
that the city is incapable of clearing, all that money
(11:56):
is going to continue to pour in. And all the
criminals in parasites who work in city and county government,
who work in those fake, phony nonprofits, they are going
to reap in a billion, five hundred million.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
That is just unbelievable. And The Times, Doug Smith is the.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Writer his lead paragraph, after nearly a decade of unprecedented
taxpayer spending on homelessness, with little to show and improvement
on the streets.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
It's not just me. This La Times writer too noticed
nothing's changed. The giant nonprofits behind the measures.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
That's the giant not on there. That Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
The giant nonprofits asked voters to double down, and they
doubled the tax.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
The nonprofits that steal the money they financed the campaigns.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
To vote for measure.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So the people who stole money from you successfully convinced
you to give them more money even though nothing is improved.
Maybe if you have somebody like Tracy Park as your councilwoman,
which I do. Specific neighborhoods can get cleaned up. But
(13:23):
I'm the hole in the city. Oh my god, all
the neighborhoods you don't go to.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Woooo.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
There's apparently a new layer of bureaucracy now that's being
financed by this billion and a half dollars. Doug Smith says,
it's a complex system of oversight, a complex system. Great,
how about here's some money, shovel all their garbage into
(13:56):
this trash truck and you drive these people out to
the desert. Okay, that that that You don't need complexity
for that, And of course it's supposed to increase what
are the magic words, transparency and accountability. So now they
are these uh, these new UH agencies.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
U L A C O C.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
L t r h A E c r h A
and l A c A H s A. Now behind
those agencies are oversight boards. You know who's on the
oversite boards? Experts, the same experts who've blown billions of
(14:45):
dollars and stolen, well stolen billions of dollars. Experts from government. Yeah,
experts from business, housing development and homeless services. Come on,
when does it stop? I think it's pitchfork time. I
(15:11):
think it's time to organize in the streets with pitchforks.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Ah who's on one of these boards?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Nythia Rahman, the idiot LA City councilwoman, says she's optimistic
that the two boards that she sits on, the E
C R H A and the L A C A
H s A, will allow us to improve coordination and
communication between all the different players, but so far, she
feels frustrated. I've invested a lot of time into it,
(15:45):
but so far, the time I've invested in it has
not necessarily yielded outcomes that I think are better for
the city. She was the woman who knew absolutely nothing
about the encampments in her neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
She wouldn't even help. But the guy who was assaulted by.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
The vagrant who is waving a bag of feces around
in the air, and Clauber the guy's car with a
bag of theeces and went up to Ramen publicly, and
Ramen gave her, gave him the cold stare.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
We're coming up.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
You're listening to John Cobels on Demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
John Cobelt Show.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
in case you missed the first hour and a half,
that's what we have the podcast for posted after four o'clock.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Also on the iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It's called John Cobelt Show on Demand and it's so
you can catch up on what you missed. Podcast every
day posted after the show. You should do that. Lots
of people do. All right, this is this is an atrocity.
Karen Bass is going to close half the shelters, half
(16:57):
of the pet shelters in Los Angeles. They're cutting because
she's got a billion dollar deficit. Cut five million dollars
from the Los Angeles Animal Services. Yeah, Los Angeles Animal
Services budget specifically, and it's it's taken a bigger hit
(17:17):
than most departments.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Yeah, why is that we have a problem.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
So many animals are already being euthanized and everybody's so
upset about it, and now you want to close half
the shelters. And in fact, I think some of the
county workers that are expected to go on strike tonight
work at these animal shelters.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
They're closing the shelter where we got our dog are
are Leo. We went to the West La shelter ten
years ago and that's being closed. Possibly the Harbor West
Valley shelters. There's only six and they're going to close three.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
So what's going to happen. We're just going to kill
all of these helpless animals.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Cambass is gonna kill dogs.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
And ca Okay, I'm sorry, there's other places that she
should be cutting, not the animal shelters.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, we got another billion and a half dollars for
the failed homeless program, so that the parasites can leach
more money from the tax payers and the homelessness gets
worse and worse.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Wait a second, John measure, A right, why don't we
take that money because we could rescind that right, Why
don't we take that money instead of putting it toward
the homeless because we know that the money going to
the homeless right has been misappropriated and there's all these problems,
and put that toward the animal shelters.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I mean, sixty two employees are going to be laid off,
sixty other vacant positions will be eliminated, So that's potentially
one hundred and twenty two staff members either out of
work or never be hired. Animal control officers, veterinary technicians.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Fox eleven did a report last year because the employees
were speaking out the shelters, we're killing healthy dogs just
to make room.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
And that was a big scandal.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Because Stacy Dannis, the general manager, resigned a month after
the report. And so they're gonna have to now shift
the dogs in the three shelters that are closing to
the three that are remaining open.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
But they're going to run out of space.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
There's already not enough space.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yeah, already five to ten dogs are killed every week
because of overcrowding.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Oh, come on, and you know what is really sad.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
It is so true that there are healthy puppies and
dogs and cats and kittens that are being euthanized because
there's no room. It's not even that these are troubled animals,
animals that are sick puppies, kittens, babies.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Here's what else happens when you get the death notice.
When you put on the death list, they take you off.
I'm talking about a dog here. Okay, they take you
off the website and put him in the back where
the public can't see them. So the dog is going
to die and they're not giving any chance of reprieve
(20:12):
if you put them on the website and said, hey,
these six dogs are about to get about to get
to the death penalty. Maybe somebody is going to show up. No,
don't you don't even know they exist?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Well that's stupid.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Renee Roustin is the founder of Start Rescue. The shelter
system is so overburdened to cut the budget and fire
staff members is ludicrous. These budget cuts are a knee
jerk reaction. This is not leadership. Leadership finds ways to
increase revenue only only for the thieves in the homeless industry.
All the increased revenue goes to those thieves. It doesn't
(20:48):
even go to the homeless, obviously. It goes to the criminals,
the friends and relatives of everyone in the mayor's office
and the city council's office and anyone else who's connected
bureaucratically to city Hall. If you need more money for
your shelter system, go and do a like a door
(21:09):
to door canvas to license dogs every day are not licensed,
So go after it. That's money you're not capturing. Sushie
Ross is a volunteer at a local animal shelter. She says,
what's going on is disgusting. Zach Sidell, that insufferable wiener
(21:29):
who lies for Bass well he's the Deputy mayor for communications,
says this is false. We are setting aside funding in
the unappropriated balance to restore those cuts. Yeah, but right
now it's on the books that it's getting cut. So
why are you cutting it just to restore it somewhere else?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, that makes zero sense.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Well it sounds like they're getting such a blowback here,
Yeah they are.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
So it's like, well, this is what they claimed with
the fire department. They cut the fire department greatly last
year and then tried to clean up the mess by saying, well,
we reappropriated money here, not that it did any good
when the palisades burned down. Yeah, and the fire department
always claimed that Bass was lying, that they're work cuts,
(22:15):
And now the animal shelters are disputing what they don't
tell the truth in Bass's city Hall, they don't.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
If you're looking for an animal, really seriously, right now
is the time to go to a shelter. I know
so many people they want the so called designer dogs.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
But you know what, you can find some of those
in the shelters. You can't.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
They're not just I'm not even gonna name the names
of certain dogs that people don't want, because everybody has
a different idea of what they want they don't want,
but there are some amazing dogs that you can find
in these shelters.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
What is the obsession with designer dogs?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
I'm telling you people, especially the Golden Doodle, the labradoodle,
the this and the that doodle.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I mean, they're cute. Is that I don't know?
Speaker 4 (23:04):
But let me say because I have friends that have
those dogs, they are very cute. I can understand the appeal,
But there are too many dogs that need to be
saved from the shelters. Go to those shelters first, adopt,
don't buy.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Or the verge of destroying your social standard.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
I know, I know, and trust me once again, I
have a big mouth, I do. But you know what,
here's a platform that we could use to tell people
to do this.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
No, I got my dog from a shelter. I got
our cat from the shelter too.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
You and I got my two dogs. Actually, my two
dogs were not from the shelter. They were from rescue
groups who save dogs from shelters, or they find dogs
that are stray, so before they go to a shelter,
they take them in.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Why is Karen Bath so bad at this? And Garcetti
was bad at this? I mean, Daniel Guss is a
big animal lover and he has written many columns online
is a substack and he's written He's very passionate, has
written many columns about just all the corruption that goes
on and all the mistreatment of the animals and just
the disorganization. I don't get it. Why is it so hard?
(24:11):
Why are the simple things so hard? Because they don't
care about any of this. They don't care about about
dogs getting killed. That's why they kill a lot of them.
You think it bothers Karen Bass and she's killing ten
dogs a week. I'm she had no problem with thousands
of homes burning down. She has no problem with thousands
of people living on the streets and thousands dying on
the streets every year. They're all just in it for
(24:32):
the money. More coming up.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A sixty.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I forgot to mention the Moistline's coming back Friday, eight
seven seven Moist eighty six eight seven seven Moist eighty
six After Debor's News, Alex Stone from ABC News is
coming on. You heard in Vancouver somebody drove a car
into a big crowd, killed the people, injured dozens more.
(25:02):
And he's got a history of mental health issues.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Again, all you had to do was lock him up.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
The authorities knew he was a lunatic, but they let
him out.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
And what did he do?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Mowed down and killed eleven people, actually mowed down dozens more.
Talk about that coming up after three o'clock. It's not
so hard if I say Harvard Medical School, right, I
probably think.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Very elite.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
University, probably the best doctors, right, Yes, most educated people
working there. Apparently the hiring standards at the Morgue not
so good at the Morgue. Well, yet, a lot of
people donate their bodies to Harvard Medical School so that
they could do research and experiments. Well, the guy who
(25:57):
ran the Morgue, Sidric Lodge, he uh, he was stealing
body parts that had been donated for research, and he
sold them for thousands of dollars. Now you're saying, who
would buy thousands of dollars of old, used human bodies.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
It's not like somebody who is alive, right needs a
new heart, right right?
Speaker 3 (26:25):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
So, yeah, if he was selling organs, I could get that, right.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
What's what's the point here?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Well, apparently there are people who collect body parts. That's
that's their hobby. I don't know if they use it
as decor or put it on the wall. Hey, you
want to see what's in this drawer? He it's New
(26:51):
York Times says he turned the Morgue into a shopping
emporium selling brains, skin and other parts. And there was
a whole criminal network, including his wife, and he would
drive the stolen body parts from Harvard Medical School to
(27:11):
his home in New Hampshire and did this for five years,
and now he's pleading guilty and could face some years
in prison and a heavy fine. The dean of the
Harvard Medical School says Cedric Lodge's criminal actions were morally
(27:32):
reprehensible and a disgraceful betrayal of the individuals who chose
to wield their bodies.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I bet he's being haunted by those ghosts.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
And you end up in somebody's trophy case.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Can you imagine. I mean, not that you would know, not.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
That I would know. No, I don't know this world.
And they also they also prosecuted six six other people
and they've pled guilty or agreed to plead guilty. He
would dissect the cadavers. He would cut their heads off,
they got their brains, bones, skin, and then he would
(28:10):
ship the remains to buyers. I would guess that's an
extra charge. Yeah, I mean, there's there's some ups driver
with a brain, with a box of brains as somebody severed.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
That's awful. I'd be so pissed off. And that was
my family members.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
You think you're doing a good thing.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
You're donating a body to science and maybe they'll save
lives down the road. Apparently they let people come in
to the morgue to pick out which body parts they wanted.
There was a woman named Katrina McLean. She owns a
store in Massachusetts called Cats Creepy Creations, Creations that shock
(28:56):
the mind and shake the soul.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
That's her slogan.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
And in October twenty twenty, she toured the morgue and
chose two dissected faces. Oh come on, and so Cedric
Lodge sold her two faces for six hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Oh that's a bargain. What is wrong with people?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
They found one transaction where a guy named Joshua Taylor
sent Lodge one thousand dollars with the memo on the
invoice read head number seven.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
This is a terrible job.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Really, I can't believe that there are people in this
world to do that.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Head number seven and number six was not so good,
But seven, that's that's the head I want.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Okay, we're really really a bad spec.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Yes, we really are, all right?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Coming up after three o'clock, another member of the really
bad species ran over lots of people up in Vancouver,
killed dozens more injured.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Who is this guy?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Well, turns out he was a well known mental patient
to local authorities, so of course he was running around free.

on that. Deborah Mark Live in the KFI twenty four
