Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty you're listening to the John
Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. It's the John Cobelt Show.
We're on the radio one until four and then after
four o'clock on the Ahara app John Cobelt Show on demand.
Two runs of the Moist Line coming up this half
hour around just after three twenty ando just after three
(00:23):
fifty Yes, last call for the good pool today. At
tonight at eleven fifty nine pm, googlepool window closes. That's it.
You better find your three celebrities that you think are
going to die this year and put them in. We
actually sent out six prizes to the six three for
three winners, so there were real prizes this year, gift cards.
It was good stuff, so you can you can get
(00:45):
a payoff at the end of the year. But eleven
fifty nine pm, you are not allowed to pick David Sole.
You're not allowed to pick Glennis What is your name,
Glennis John's, Yes, Glennis Johns, Yes, a Broadway actress who
lived to one hundred. So they're off the ballot because
they died this week. So don't try to sneak in
those picks. We're smarter than that we'll eliminate your ballot
(01:07):
and if you already sent a ballot with those two names,
then send another one. What I was growing about a
moment ago is this is a terrible story. Janet Wynn
she's the state senator out of Orange County and also
covers part of Los Angeles. She wrote a piece for
(01:30):
the Orange County Register that the OC Animal Care Shelter
is a complete disaster. I mean, it's got a big budget,
and it's got a lot of employees, but their pets
are suffering terribly. And they sent along three awful photos
and I'll have her described them. I mean, it's just terrible.
(01:54):
Let's get Janet went on. How are you, Janet, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Thank you John for having me, thank.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
You for coming on, and thank you for writing this piece.
This is not something I would know about her and
probably anyone listening would know about. Can you describe what
this animal shelter is? OC Animal Care? Who owns it?
How's it funded?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
So but let me first say every animal lives is important,
and they are our family. That's that to me, it
is so important. The Orange County Animal Care is run
by the Orange County Board of Supervisors. They just do
a brand new facility, thirty five million dollars facility, and
it's twenty seven million dollar budget. And yet I'll give
(02:35):
you an example.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
You just said, could you get off speakerphone? Could you
pick up the handset? I think you'll come in clearer.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
You there, it is better.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, that's better. That's better. Okay, I'm sorry, So no,
that's all right. So just to review the Orange County supervisors,
they're the ones who funded this with thirty billion dollars,
the building.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Thirt five billions. Actually the fund comes from the taxpayer
people like me who owns a I have a German
shepherd at our house, and we pay the annual license
fee for our dogs, our pet and that goes to
the County of Orange. So the facility itself was funded
by taxpayers like me, animal lovers like me. And what
what do you have here is here's I'll give you
(03:25):
some examples of the picture. You saw. A husky hit
by a car with massive internal injuries was not seen
by a vet or given payments, but rather to curl
up in a ball for three days and bleed to
death in his cage.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
The picture is of of the cage and just enormous
amount of blood on the floor of the cage.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Uh a kitten had half its front limb missing, which
was just bloody stump. And just looking at these pictures, John,
it just breaks my heart, makes you just stick to
the stomach. It's like, how to we in Orange County
a brand new facility that is the state of the art,
and it's something that the nation everybody envies, and yet
(04:07):
this is how we're treating our animals. And then the
death rate at the facility from twenty twenty one to
twenty twenty two, the killing rate there is one hundred
and eighty seven percent. It's unbelievable. Which really is that
fourteen percent of dogs less than a year old would
kill because of so called behavioral issues, and seven percent
(04:28):
of them are under six months. All those who have pets,
especially dogs puppies, I don't know if any of you
know of puppies having behavioral issues to have to put
them to death. This is about the animal care facilities
not being able to give them the standard care that
they deserve so that they can be adopted. Open the
(04:51):
facility to the public so we can go there and
adopt these animals and stop killing them. And causing harm
to them.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
All right, This is the part I don't understand. The
public does not have easy access into the animal shelter.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
No, not anymore so since COVID. Before COVID, you can
go to the animal shelter and the cage is open.
It's there. You can go walk through, look at the
animals and pick whatever one you want to, you know,
take a look at. So I have been at that
facility when I was in high school. I would visit
there just for fun, a few times of weeks, to
play with the animals there. I'd love dogs and so
(05:30):
that's back then. But then COVID hit. They shut the
county down. We'll let you go in just to view
the path. Now, even to this day, they're still using
COVID standards. The cod's over, yes, I know, I know
even present.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Are using this COVID thing to cover up all the
all the dead, wounded animals. They don't want the public
to see this because the animals are in such horrible conditions.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yep. And that's where we believe it's to be. They now,
right now, you have to make an appointment, and you
can only pick two animals for one visit, and you
only you don't get that long of a visit, just
a few minutes just to see the animals. But you
know how as human is we walk in, we see
that puppyl, like, oh, I want to see that one. Oh, no,
I want to see this one. Oh, maybe we'll put
that one. We don't get that option anymore, and you
(06:23):
have to book an advance. You can't just walk in
there one day and just go, oh, I want to
see if I might today want to adopt a pet.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
You're right that they have one hundred and thirty seven
people on staff, but there's only twenty one who feed, clean,
and exercise the animals. What do the other one hundred
and sixteen people do there? If they don't have hands
on contact with the animals, what do they do all day?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
That's what we're asking the questions too. We're not getting
the answer. No one knows the answers to anything that's
going on in that facility. I mean, you even have
they have I believe one part time vetenarian for all
the animals there one, So these animals are not being
seen by Vetnaron's and we.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
This is like something out of the eighteen hundreds. What
what is going the Orange County supervisors know about this.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh yeah, they do. The shelter's name Honestly, John OC
Animal Care is a total joke because they definitely are
not caring for any animals there at all.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Who is the head of OCE Animal Care? Who's who's
that of this?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
So they so they have a director, So they've got
several directors within the OC Animal Cares right now. The
director that oversees the animal care. So there's the county
has what we call the they have the Orange County
Community Resources. He oversees. He has a staff who oversees
the animal shelters shelter.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Who is this guy? What's his name?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
His name is Dan Dan? What and see Dan Dan
Dylan White.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I'm sorry, Dylan Dylan White. Dylan White has the ultimate overside,
his staff overseas OC Animal Shelter. And everybody knows that
this is going on inside and nobody's nobody's stopping all
this abusive, violent behavior towards the cats and dogs.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Nope, they've been silent. No one's been doing anything.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Everybody's let me let me read you something else that
you wrote. You said, no one knows how many dogs
are housed in the infamous Building one which has irredeemable animals.
Volunteers are forbidden from walking or caring for them. One
man had his dog seized a year ago and he's
(08:40):
still waiting to retrieve them. And what is this? What
is this Building one? What is it like a concentration tamp?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
So that's what it sounds like. The only people who
are speaking to us or speaking out are the volunteers
and the rescuers. We cannot we don't know what else
is going on inside the facility. And what we've described
is what the volunteers and the rescue folks are telling
of that's happening with Building one.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
You had a grand jury look into this.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Grand They had a grand jury and they were spot on.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Okay, So grand jury has issued an official report detailing
a lot of the things that you wrote about. And
the Orange County supervisors they haven't taken any action.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
They have not taken any action. I mean, we had
one volunteer she worked in the kitchen room and she
would have to care for one hundred animals just by herself.
She quit because she's it was just too heartbreaking and
dysfunctional to work there.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
What do you think is going on? Here here, What
do you think is going on here?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You know, I think I mean nobody. I think what
is is that most people don't pay attention to the
Animal Cares shelter and it's out of the public eye
until someone goes up there and has to, you know,
once to adopt a pet. And that's where that the
County Board of Supervisors. Oh, that's not something we have
to care right now. That's not a priority of ours,
(10:04):
but it should be because we taxpayer pay gave they
have a budget twenty seven million dollars and we gave
them a thirty five million dollars day of the art facility.
They it's their job to take care of these animals.
It's their job to allow the public to be able
to adopt these animals.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
If you just look at these three photos right the
cat with its one of its legs hacked off, and
you've got a puppy that's all bloody, and then you
have the huge bloodstains in the cage of another dog
that died. You don't need to be an animal lover
to say whatever they're doing at this animal shelter, there
ought to be people arrested and put in prison here.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I agree with you. You know, when we the people
were talking to the volunteers and the rescuers, they're telling
us I'm the only elected official that they know of
Earth is actually speaking out on this issue, all right.
Everybody else has just stay silent.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I want to follow up on this next week, and
I want to I want to get in contact with
the Board of supervisors. Is there any anybody to get
the police involved here, or the sheriff's deputies or somebody
that these look like animal crimes to me?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I don't disagree with you. We haven't heard anything, and
we have not heard any response from anybody from the count.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I mean, I don't even know if we could post
these photos, but people, people, if people saw these photos,
it would stop. Though.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
What I don't understand is don't people who work at
animal shelters don't they love animals? I mean, don't they
want to care for animals. I don't understand how you
can work at an animal shelter and see this going
on and allowing this to go on. I get that
the you know, the volunteers are complaining and doing something,
thank goodness, But the actual people that are working there,
(11:55):
Shame on them, all.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Right, we will talk next week, all right, Janet.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
And I'm also looking at your legislation this year.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, no, definitely, but this has got to be This
should be closed down and investigated immediately. I mean something,
some emergency group has to go in here and take
care of this situation. This is really horrible. All right, Jent,
we'll talk next week. We'll keep on top of this, right,
this can't last. When we come back. We got a
round of the Moistline coming up.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
We have the last day for the Google pool. You
got three entries, three celebrities you think are going to
be dead by the end of the year. You go
to KFIAM six forty dot com, the John Cobel page,
or go to our Twitter x account or Instagram account
and we got links to the ballots and you fill
(12:51):
them out three celebrities and you might win something. We
had six winners they got they all won prizes and
eleven fifty nine. Tonight is the deadline. This is the
last call. It is now time as it is every
Friday afternoon at this moment for the Moistline and one
eight one eight seven seven moist eighty six is the number.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Yeah right, Andy, Sean, thanks for calling the moistline. I'm
so excited to hear from you. To bat time.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
My new Year's resolution for twenty twenty four, I'm gonna
ask anybody that complains about their student loans why they're
so stupid to be paying the minimums on it. Of course,
you pay the minimum on thirty forty thousand bucks, you're
gonna pay it off in thirty or forty years.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
You're exactly right, John, And something I've noticed a long
time ago, and that interview with that schidella victim just
proves it further. Why is it homeless people sound like
little kids? Listen carefully to how he talks. They have
no agency, They're like little children that never grew up,
and they're in adult bodies. So I'm actually for the
(13:56):
state just taking conservativeship over all of them, because obviously
we have a bunch of litto children who never grew
up living in the street like animals.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
We'll spend one hundred billion dollars and send it to Ukraine,
but we won't spend one hundred million dollars to pay
for all of the immigration judges.
Speaker 10 (14:18):
We need to take the assylum seekers six year backlog
and turn it into a two week turnaround. Our first
wall of defense is our legal system. Let's spend some
money on ourselves.
Speaker 11 (14:33):
Wow, twenty twenty four, we're all here.
Speaker 8 (14:36):
We made it.
Speaker 11 (14:37):
And then John shows up and says, welcome to the
John and Ken Show.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
It's going to be a great year.
Speaker 11 (14:43):
Everybody gonna be a great shown.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Pease explain what does fecal oral spread?
Speaker 8 (14:50):
Me?
Speaker 9 (14:50):
Tune in to listen to the first John Coldell Show
of the year and keeko oral spread.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Happy New Year.
Speaker 12 (14:58):
I've been listening to you for fifteen years now, and
this the first time you guys ever said anything with intelligence.
Of course, there are people in the United States government
being paid off by the drug cartel leaders. Are you
guys stupid? Do you think that these people are good
people that claim to be our leaders? No, they're all evil.
They're all in bed with each other.
Speaker 13 (15:19):
Hey, Debra, that guy di Obra, I hope he wasn't
a vegan.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yes, I think the US government is on.
Speaker 10 (15:28):
The cartel's payroll for sure, or at.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Least they've been barked in somewhere or another.
Speaker 14 (15:33):
Yeah, I think all our government officials are being paid
off by the cartel, just like they do in Mexico.
That's why they're running our border and not our government.
And I'm sure, mister Greasy, our governor is number one
on the payroll.
Speaker 11 (15:48):
Oh John, when are you going to stop railing against
electric cars?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
The Ford F one fifty is an exception.
Speaker 12 (15:56):
It's a really big truck with a huge battery, one
hundred and twenty kilo hour battery.
Speaker 15 (16:02):
It's not very efficient, it's not very practical.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
They're not all like that.
Speaker 15 (16:08):
No, you can't take a Ford F one point fifty
on a long drip and just expect to recharge it
in twenty minutes.
Speaker 16 (16:14):
No, you can't, hey, John, driving my electric vehicle right
now that we've threw the halfway across the country in
the winter when range is supposed to be worse, and we.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Haven't ever had a problem.
Speaker 16 (16:24):
Once Tesla opens up their reliable charge network, which is
happening for many brands, things are going to get a
lot better. Yes, the Electrify America grid absolutely is terrible
or that network, but the Tesla one it really isn't.
So stop harping on electric cars. I prefer driving over
my gas car.
Speaker 11 (16:42):
Yeah, I swear we are related. I'm like an identical
twin in the way I think just like you. The
Worner problem, it's to bring down the system. I think
it's to bring down the system, and the government could
come in and take control of whatever they want because
they can screen crisis. I've let a good crisis going away.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Just a quick heads up.
Speaker 17 (17:03):
I'm enjoying a cigarette right now because I've stepped out
of a room before I almost knock the living out
of somebody that is considered a supervisor to me. This
person has been with the company one third of the
time I have, and there's about two thirds of the
age that I am that don't have my cigarette.
Speaker 18 (17:22):
The guy becomes Plus, take your battles, thank you for leaving.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Your message, Please hang up good fine, And.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
There's a smoking benefit there. Redirects your energies for a
few minutes and you don't kill somebody. All right. That's
round one of the moistline, and round two is going
to come up in about a half an hour when
we come back. Do you know that there are thousands
(17:49):
of people who used to live in a lot Los Angeles?
They are now in the category of the unclaimed dead. Yes,
these are people who die and nobody ever claims them.
And you might think that after a period of time,
they're just put into what they used to call it
pauper's grave, right, a community grave. Well, yeah they do,
(18:12):
but it takes years to get there because we spend
millions of dollars trying to figure out who they are.
We have a whole team of investigators who waste a
lot of time and money trying to find out who
a particular person is, a person which apparently no one
on the planet cares about. But we have to get
their identity before we dump them into the community grave. Seriously,
(18:34):
the Associated Press did a detailed story on this, and
I'm reading this this morning, and I'm going you've got
to beginning me. Well, we'll talk about we come back.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You got to hear our interview about the road diet
proposition that's coming on the ballot March fifth. Unless Angelus
road diets, they're going to turn the streets into a
maze of bicycle lanes and bus lanes and crosswalks and
restricted pedestrian areas. They're going to squeeze cars off the road,
(19:15):
create terrible traffic. It's the return of that whole road
diet virus that we fought off back in twenty seventeen
against Garcetti and Mike Bonnen in mar Vista and Implia
del Rey. It's now back in the form of a proposition,
and we talked for half an hour about it with
(19:38):
one of the activists who's trying to stop it, and
you definitely ought to listen to that interview because that's
that's going to be life changing. I saw this story
in the Associated Press feed today and I mean, it's
a little bit gruesome and sad, I grant you, and
maybe there's something wrong with me, but when the reaction
(19:58):
I had after reading the whole thing is why the
hell are we paying so much money for this? You know,
there's there's people, obviously by the hundreds or thousands, depending
on the size of the city, who die in a
given year and nobody claims their remains. They're usually well,
they're homeless people, or they're really old and eccentric, and
(20:21):
they are no friends or relatives left behind who want
to want to speak with them anymore or care about them.
And so they die, and often they have no ID.
Even if they have a home, they have no obvious ID.
I mean, obviously a homeless person laying in the street
often is anonymous. But they open this story. The worker
(20:43):
is uh A Rushshak Marktyroschan, and her job is to
go to the apartments of people who died who are unidentified,
because it turns out, when you die, if nobody claims
your body, you're going to be stuck in a freezer
(21:03):
for three years. Three years in the freezer at the
morgue while a team of investigators try to figure out
who you are. And I'm I'm I'm reading this, I'm saying,
why are we spending money on this? If you've been
so unpleasant in life that nobody claims you for three years,
(21:24):
why is that? My problem is a taxpayer to fund
the investigation? What do you have to do to turn
off the entire There's eight billion people in the world.
Three years nobody comes calling, you must have been one
pain in the ass. Uh So, this woman named Arushak,
(21:44):
she opens the door of this one bedroom apartment. They
call it a micro apartment, and it's a hoarder's paradise.
There's some photos. Wedged against the door is a giant
box of gain laundry, detergent, plastic tubs, blouses, t shirts
hanging from a curtain rod. In the living room, all
the sunlight is blocked out bins and boxes with more clothes.
(22:07):
You can't see the carpet, empty takeout containers, tupperware with
bugs trapped inside seventy four year room and died in
October in the hospital and nobody came for the remains.
So this lady Aroushak puts on a protective suit and
they're looking for anything a greeting card, a letter, something
(22:28):
with a family's address on the return label, so that
this woman could get a proper burial. And they're called
the Unclaimed Dead. They have a dozen investigators, a dozen
who work for the Public Administrator, which is a little
tiny corner of our county government. And this is what
(22:50):
they do all day, and they try to put together
the clues and the puzzle pieces to figure out who
it is. So while you're frozen for three years, the company,
the investigators do what they do. They call nursing homes,
they call churches and synagogues. They go through public records,
(23:11):
they go through ancestry websites. They go through every specier
home or apartment looking for a tiny piece of identity.
But often these people had no friends, they had no
surviving family, or none that are interested, or people who
don't want to pay for the burial. That's the thing.
If you claim the remains, then you get then you
(23:33):
got to you're buying the body, and then you're buying
the rights to bury the body. And they every year
the unclaimed bodies are well, they're they're they're cremated and
they have a ceremony. And on December fourteenth they buried
(23:55):
nineteen hundred and thirty seven people, including a lot of
coronavirus patients. Because you know, three years is up, and
it's homeless people, it's immigrants. Sometimes it's children. When does
a child die and nobody claims the child? Maybe these
(24:15):
are this is just crazy. A few dozen people show up,
but I don't really I mean I could see, you know,
given it a couple of weeks. But there's no reason
to pay an entire department for a three year investigation
for because get they get hundreds of new people every year.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Why don't we split the difference and instead of three years,
do one and a half and take that extra money
and put it toward that animal shelter in Orange County
that has these animals are living in atrocious conditions and
not being taken care of.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, I know, I'm saying there's so much money wasted
really on nonsense. If you spend a year and a
half and nobody raises their hand and say, look, I'll
handle this. I mean, look, people who end up that alone,
it's almost always their own fault. There's a reason for this.
If they ever dig into two people who they're stranged
(25:10):
from their entire family and they have no friends. Come on,
I know plenty of unpleasant people who have plenty of
family of friends, I don't know what, and often they're
just nuts. They're so I mean, this hoarder lady, really,
you know who's going to bother with her? I'm sure
that little micro apartment just smelled and looked disgusting. But
(25:31):
this is what we've got. We have a whole team
of investigators in La County. Yeah, you know what. They
have a huge storehouse of all the possessions. They try
to sell possessions, but some of them they can't sell
or they have certain criteria. The County is a warehouse
full of vinyl records, Barbie Doll collections, classic cars, framed artwork,
(25:58):
and eventually they auction it off to pay to bury
other people. And then at the end of it, hundreds
or thousands of people are buried. They have little boxes
that contain their ashes, and there's one blank stone over
the communal burial site that just lists the year of
the burial. And that's it. Seems like a job Ray
(26:21):
would have, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Maybe he should do that part time. I know he'd
whipped them in shape.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I mean he would.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
I think he might make things better.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, well, at least the side quicker. We come back.
We got what do we got? Oh? Around two of
the moistline.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
We're on from one into four. It's getting close to four,
means Conway is just minutes away. This is the last
call for the gold Pool eleven fifty nine. Tonight entry
window closes. You go to CAFI AM six forty dot com,
the John Cobalt page, You go to the Twitter x account,
(27:07):
or you can go to Instagram and links to the
ballots are located in all those places and fill them

die at the end of the year. You could win prizes.
We had six winners six prizes. They went three for
three and again no David sol and no Glennis John's
they are not eligible because they died this week. Other
(27:30):
than that, you'll vote for wherever you want and we'll
see what happens by the end of the year. Now
it's time for the moistline one eight seven seven moist
eighty six.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Hey, it's Sean. Thanks for calling the moistline. I'm so
excited to hear from you. About time you.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Go to the toy store and they don't have the
toy you're looking for, gender nutul or whatelse, it's just
go on Amazon buy it from them. They deliver it
to your door and it's that easy. The white mandate,
the store has to have this, that, and the other.
The store will pretty quick put those things on theirs if.
Speaker 11 (28:00):
They see it.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Although it's all really good at Amazon.
Speaker 11 (28:03):
I'm not a fan of gender neutral bathrooms because if
it doesn't have a year and all, I'm pean in
the sink.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Hey, let's hear it for Iron zeering.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
These little motorcycle dougs that are riding.
Speaker 19 (28:17):
Around, they're all over the plate, and if we don't
stand up to them like Iron did, they're gonna take over.
Speaker 18 (28:24):
I'm really pissed off because of this wealth distribution here
in California, with the electric bills, I have to pay
for somebody else because they can't afford to pay their
electric PIOM. Why isn't it is the boat going on here,
the socialized data, I can't stand it.
Speaker 15 (28:41):
I just decided that inside Safe is not for the vagrance,
It's for us. Have you noticed on the news all
these camps are coming back that she quote unquote cleared
out and was surprised their back. So I think the
inside Safe program means for us to stay inside and safe,
not the vagrance.
Speaker 20 (29:00):
His line in my in LA, five hospitals closed. They
just couldn't handle the influx of these these illegals. So
now it's bad enough I have to wait in the
urgence here, I have to wait in the emergency.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
I have to wait, wait to make.
Speaker 20 (29:14):
An apployment, and then I'm subsidizing them here sitting side
by side in the waiting room, not painting a dime
loosen us.
Speaker 18 (29:23):
I don't understand this.
Speaker 12 (29:25):
I work six days a week, I work really hard.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
I don't think anything from the government and.
Speaker 12 (29:30):
Living at homeless people.
Speaker 13 (29:31):
Houses and all the stuff to the people who.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
Take big dumps on the street and urinate and give
them everything.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
When I have a degree of works my.
Speaker 16 (29:40):
Butt off, my whole life, and.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
This is ridiculous, ridiculous.
Speaker 13 (29:45):
Hey, this year, I'd like to see the Department of
Veterans Affairs hire enough dental laboratory technicians to fully staff
their two hundred plus dental clinics. Here in Los Angeles,
are Va Medical Center with their nine dental clinics have
no staff dental lab texts.
Speaker 21 (30:03):
What these bozos in government do not realize is that
you cannot solve the homeless problem by providing housing to
people who are mentally ill. That isn't the issue. The
issue is getting treatment for their mental illness.
Speaker 22 (30:16):
You take your gifts in the new year. When we
find that this phone line is completely overwhelmed with calls
regarding the obvious cameras that are installed for speed on
the highway, let's face the fact it's unfair. There's no
substitute for officer on a motorcycle or in a car.
How many people are going to get stuck with a
(30:37):
ticket when somebody else steals the car or even borrows
the car within the old family.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Thank you for leaving your message, Please hang up, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Moist eighty six. That's the number for next Friday. Two
things jumped out at me. Another thing you could listen
to on the podcast is our interview with Assemblyman Bill
because one of the callers referenced this issue. Starting this week,
we are paying for health care for every illegal alien
(31:10):
in California. I has three four million of them. Yeah,
we are everybody from birth to death. And it's going
to cost at least four billion dollars. You know it's
going to be more. State budget has sixty eight billion
dollar deficit, so this has got to stop it Because
he was talking about how the emergency room is in
(31:31):
urgent care is so overcrowded. Well, it's only going to
get worse and worse. They're all going to get medical
anybody who comes here. Now, do you think this might
be a magnet since there's millions coming over the border
when in California be a good stop you instantly as
soon as you set foot in the state, you're eligible
for free healthcare. So we'll be jumping on that some
(31:52):
more conways here, I don't get free healthcare. You got
to work.
Speaker 19 (31:56):
And I've been here a long time, man, I was
bory raising this sucker. You don't have to you just
come here. You don't have to work.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
That's right. You're talking to me about people legally. No,
I'm talking talking about people here illegally. They don't have
to work. That's right.
Speaker 19 (32:08):
Market at least, well, Alex Michaelson's coming on tonight.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
He works.
Speaker 19 (32:13):
And the first debate, the first Senate debate will be
in two weeks, and we're going to carry that live.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
That's gonna be exciting.
Speaker 19 (32:19):
A four point two magnitude earthquake. I felt that. Did
you feel it? Ten fifty five?
Speaker 1 (32:24):
No?
Speaker 19 (32:25):
Well, the problem with this quake it was on the
San Andreas fault.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
That's a big deal. That's a four shot. That's a
big deal. I was trying to tell Deborah this because
that's two quakes this week.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
We have.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
It's a pattern.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Now.
Speaker 19 (32:36):
Yeah, And somebody in this room canceled their earthquake insurance
two days ago. No, I canna tell you. I'm looking
around David soul passed away. I love that guy from
Start Ski and Hotch. I used to drive him. I
drove a lemousine. I drove him and his family around.
Oh really, man, very nice, ma'am, and he's along with us.
Plus a new study out there, alcoholic beverages may decreate
(33:00):
the risk of cants.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 19 (33:02):
Increase sorry, boo, you're gone, increase your risk of can
I'm sick.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Of hearing from these people. I heard that on the news.
They're running it on the news all day, and every
time I came, I was like, shut up. I heard
that forty five beer trucks ago. Yeah, you know, how
come people are living longer than ever?
Speaker 19 (33:22):
I don't know. I don't know, John, I don't know.
But Eric, you're a beer drinker, right, like a beer
I would say, I like alcohol. I'm not really beer
particularly Well. Have you ever passed a beer truck like
a Hey Nike in or a Budweiser truck and you thought, Man,
I think I've wiped one of those trucks out my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 19 (33:38):
Every time I drive past the Miller Life Plan, I
just want to hop in one of those big, those
big barrels.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Outside barrel. That's great. I think I've wiped out a
beer truck.
Speaker 19 (33:48):
I think, And if you add up all the beers
I've had, I've wiped out a beer truck. So if
you're driving near a beer truck right now, think about that.
How many beers you've had? Could you have wiped out
a truck?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Today?
Speaker 19 (33:59):
We're going to find out how many beers are on
the truck? All right, all right, that's today's sign, today's
bounce of beers on the truck.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Hit next, and uh, Courser's got the news, all right,
dig Live the twenty four hour Cafe 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 the iHeartRadio app
Can't. I am six forty you're listening to the John
Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. It's the John Cobelt Show.
We're on the radio one until four and then after
four o'clock on the Ahara app John Cobelt Show on demand.
Two runs of the Moist Line coming up this half
hour around just after three twenty ando just after three
(00:23):
fifty Yes, last call for the good pool today. At
tonight at eleven fifty nine pm, googlepool window closes. That's it.
You better find your three celebrities that you think are
going to die this year and put them in. We
actually sent out six prizes to the six three for
three winners, so there were real prizes this year, gift cards.
It was good stuff, so you can you can get
(00:45):
a payoff at the end of the year. But eleven
fifty nine pm, you are not allowed to pick David Sole.
You're not allowed to pick Glennis What is your name,
Glennis John's, Yes, Glennis Johns, Yes, a Broadway actress who
lived to one hundred. So they're off the ballot because
they died this week. So don't try to sneak in
those picks. We're smarter than that we'll eliminate your ballot
(01:07):
and if you already sent a ballot with those two names,
then send another one. What I was growing about a
moment ago is this is a terrible story. Janet Wynn
she's the state senator out of Orange County and also
covers part of Los Angeles. She wrote a piece for
(01:30):
the Orange County Register that the OC Animal Care Shelter
is a complete disaster. I mean, it's got a big budget,
and it's got a lot of employees, but their pets
are suffering terribly. And they sent along three awful photos
and I'll have her described them. I mean, it's just terrible.
(01:54):
Let's get Janet went on. How are you, Janet, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Thank you John for having me, thank.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
You for coming on, and thank you for writing this piece.
This is not something I would know about her and
probably anyone listening would know about. Can you describe what
this animal shelter is? OC Animal Care? Who owns it?
How's it funded?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
So but let me first say every animal lives is important,
and they are our family. That's that to me, it
is so important. The Orange County Animal Care is run
by the Orange County Board of Supervisors. They just do
a brand new facility, thirty five million dollars facility, and
it's twenty seven million dollar budget. And yet I'll give
(02:35):
you an example.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
You just said, could you get off speakerphone? Could you
pick up the handset? I think you'll come in clearer.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
You there, it is better.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, that's better. That's better. Okay, I'm sorry, So no,
that's all right. So just to review the Orange County supervisors,
they're the ones who funded this with thirty billion dollars,
the building.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Thirt five billions. Actually the fund comes from the taxpayer
people like me who owns a I have a German
shepherd at our house, and we pay the annual license
fee for our dogs, our pet and that goes to
the County of Orange. So the facility itself was funded
by taxpayers like me, animal lovers like me. And what
what do you have here is here's I'll give you
(03:25):
some examples of the picture. You saw. A husky hit
by a car with massive internal injuries was not seen
by a vet or given payments, but rather to curl
up in a ball for three days and bleed to
death in his cage.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
The picture is of of the cage and just enormous
amount of blood on the floor of the cage.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Uh a kitten had half its front limb missing, which
was just bloody stump. And just looking at these pictures, John,
it just breaks my heart, makes you just stick to
the stomach. It's like, how to we in Orange County
a brand new facility that is the state of the art,
and it's something that the nation everybody envies, and yet
(04:07):
this is how we're treating our animals. And then the
death rate at the facility from twenty twenty one to
twenty twenty two, the killing rate there is one hundred
and eighty seven percent. It's unbelievable. Which really is that
fourteen percent of dogs less than a year old would
kill because of so called behavioral issues, and seven percent
(04:28):
of them are under six months. All those who have pets,
especially dogs puppies, I don't know if any of you
know of puppies having behavioral issues to have to put
them to death. This is about the animal care facilities
not being able to give them the standard care that
they deserve so that they can be adopted. Open the
(04:51):
facility to the public so we can go there and
adopt these animals and stop killing them. And causing harm
to them.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
All right, This is the part I don't understand. The
public does not have easy access into the animal shelter.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
No, not anymore so since COVID. Before COVID, you can
go to the animal shelter and the cage is open.
It's there. You can go walk through, look at the
animals and pick whatever one you want to, you know,
take a look at. So I have been at that
facility when I was in high school. I would visit
there just for fun, a few times of weeks, to
play with the animals there. I'd love dogs and so
(05:30):
that's back then. But then COVID hit. They shut the
county down. We'll let you go in just to view
the path. Now, even to this day, they're still using
COVID standards. The cod's over, yes, I know, I know
even present.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Are using this COVID thing to cover up all the
all the dead, wounded animals. They don't want the public
to see this because the animals are in such horrible conditions.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yep. And that's where we believe it's to be. They now,
right now, you have to make an appointment, and you
can only pick two animals for one visit, and you
only you don't get that long of a visit, just
a few minutes just to see the animals. But you
know how as human is we walk in, we see
that puppyl, like, oh, I want to see that one. Oh, no,
I want to see this one. Oh, maybe we'll put
that one. We don't get that option anymore, and you
(06:23):
have to book an advance. You can't just walk in
there one day and just go, oh, I want to
see if I might today want to adopt a pet.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
You're right that they have one hundred and thirty seven
people on staff, but there's only twenty one who feed, clean,
and exercise the animals. What do the other one hundred
and sixteen people do there? If they don't have hands
on contact with the animals, what do they do all day?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
That's what we're asking the questions too. We're not getting
the answer. No one knows the answers to anything that's
going on in that facility. I mean, you even have
they have I believe one part time vetenarian for all
the animals there one, So these animals are not being
seen by Vetnaron's and we.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
This is like something out of the eighteen hundreds. What
what is going the Orange County supervisors know about this.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh yeah, they do. The shelter's name Honestly, John OC
Animal Care is a total joke because they definitely are
not caring for any animals there at all.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Who is the head of OCE Animal Care? Who's who's
that of this?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
So they so they have a director, So they've got
several directors within the OC Animal Cares right now. The
director that oversees the animal care. So there's the county
has what we call the they have the Orange County
Community Resources. He oversees. He has a staff who oversees
the animal shelters shelter.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Who is this guy? What's his name?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
His name is Dan Dan? What and see Dan Dan
Dylan White.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I'm sorry, Dylan Dylan White. Dylan White has the ultimate overside,
his staff overseas OC Animal Shelter. And everybody knows that
this is going on inside and nobody's nobody's stopping all
this abusive, violent behavior towards the cats and dogs.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Nope, they've been silent. No one's been doing anything.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Everybody's let me let me read you something else that
you wrote. You said, no one knows how many dogs
are housed in the infamous Building one which has irredeemable animals.
Volunteers are forbidden from walking or caring for them. One
man had his dog seized a year ago and he's
(08:40):
still waiting to retrieve them. And what is this? What
is this Building one? What is it like a concentration tamp?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
So that's what it sounds like. The only people who
are speaking to us or speaking out are the volunteers
and the rescuers. We cannot we don't know what else
is going on inside the facility. And what we've described
is what the volunteers and the rescue folks are telling
of that's happening with Building one.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
You had a grand jury look into this.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Grand They had a grand jury and they were spot on.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Okay, So grand jury has issued an official report detailing
a lot of the things that you wrote about. And
the Orange County supervisors they haven't taken any action.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
They have not taken any action. I mean, we had
one volunteer she worked in the kitchen room and she
would have to care for one hundred animals just by herself.
She quit because she's it was just too heartbreaking and
dysfunctional to work there.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
What do you think is going on? Here here, What
do you think is going on here?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You know, I think I mean nobody. I think what
is is that most people don't pay attention to the
Animal Cares shelter and it's out of the public eye
until someone goes up there and has to, you know,
once to adopt a pet. And that's where that the
County Board of Supervisors. Oh, that's not something we have
to care right now. That's not a priority of ours,
(10:04):
but it should be because we taxpayer pay gave they
have a budget twenty seven million dollars and we gave
them a thirty five million dollars day of the art facility.
They it's their job to take care of these animals.
It's their job to allow the public to be able
to adopt these animals.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
If you just look at these three photos right the
cat with its one of its legs hacked off, and
you've got a puppy that's all bloody, and then you
have the huge bloodstains in the cage of another dog
that died. You don't need to be an animal lover
to say whatever they're doing at this animal shelter, there
ought to be people arrested and put in prison here.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I agree with you. You know, when we the people
were talking to the volunteers and the rescuers, they're telling
us I'm the only elected official that they know of
Earth is actually speaking out on this issue, all right.
Everybody else has just stay silent.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I want to follow up on this next week, and
I want to I want to get in contact with
the Board of supervisors. Is there any anybody to get
the police involved here, or the sheriff's deputies or somebody
that these look like animal crimes to me?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I don't disagree with you. We haven't heard anything, and
we have not heard any response from anybody from the count.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I mean, I don't even know if we could post
these photos, but people, people, if people saw these photos,
it would stop. Though.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
What I don't understand is don't people who work at
animal shelters don't they love animals? I mean, don't they
want to care for animals. I don't understand how you
can work at an animal shelter and see this going
on and allowing this to go on. I get that
the you know, the volunteers are complaining and doing something,
thank goodness, But the actual people that are working there,
(11:55):
Shame on them, all.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Right, we will talk next week, all right, Janet.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
And I'm also looking at your legislation this year.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, no, definitely, but this has got to be This
should be closed down and investigated immediately. I mean something,
some emergency group has to go in here and take
care of this situation. This is really horrible. All right, Jent,
we'll talk next week. We'll keep on top of this, right,
this can't last. When we come back. We got a
round of the Moistline coming up.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
We have the last day for the Google pool. You
got three entries, three celebrities you think are going to
be dead by the end of the year. You go
to KFIAM six forty dot com, the John Cobel page,
or go to our Twitter x account or Instagram account
and we got links to the ballots and you fill
(12:51):
them out three celebrities and you might win something. We
had six winners they got they all won prizes and
eleven fifty nine. Tonight is the deadline. This is the
last call. It is now time as it is every
Friday afternoon at this moment for the Moistline and one
eight one eight seven seven moist eighty six is the number.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Yeah right, Andy, Sean, thanks for calling the moistline. I'm
so excited to hear from you. To bat time.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
My new Year's resolution for twenty twenty four, I'm gonna
ask anybody that complains about their student loans why they're
so stupid to be paying the minimums on it. Of course,
you pay the minimum on thirty forty thousand bucks, you're
gonna pay it off in thirty or forty years.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
You're exactly right, John, And something I've noticed a long
time ago, and that interview with that schidella victim just
proves it further. Why is it homeless people sound like
little kids? Listen carefully to how he talks. They have
no agency, They're like little children that never grew up,
and they're in adult bodies. So I'm actually for the
(13:56):
state just taking conservativeship over all of them, because obviously
we have a bunch of litto children who never grew
up living in the street like animals.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
We'll spend one hundred billion dollars and send it to Ukraine,
but we won't spend one hundred million dollars to pay
for all of the immigration judges.
Speaker 10 (14:18):
We need to take the assylum seekers six year backlog
and turn it into a two week turnaround. Our first
wall of defense is our legal system. Let's spend some
money on ourselves.
Speaker 11 (14:33):
Wow, twenty twenty four, we're all here.
Speaker 8 (14:36):
We made it.
Speaker 11 (14:37):
And then John shows up and says, welcome to the
John and Ken Show.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
It's going to be a great year.
Speaker 11 (14:43):
Everybody gonna be a great shown.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Pease explain what does fecal oral spread?
Speaker 8 (14:50):
Me?
Speaker 9 (14:50):
Tune in to listen to the first John Coldell Show
of the year and keeko oral spread.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Happy New Year.
Speaker 12 (14:58):
I've been listening to you for fifteen years now, and
this the first time you guys ever said anything with intelligence.
Of course, there are people in the United States government
being paid off by the drug cartel leaders. Are you
guys stupid? Do you think that these people are good
people that claim to be our leaders? No, they're all evil.
They're all in bed with each other.
Speaker 13 (15:19):
Hey, Debra, that guy di Obra, I hope he wasn't
a vegan.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yes, I think the US government is on.
Speaker 10 (15:28):
The cartel's payroll for sure, or at.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Least they've been barked in somewhere or another.
Speaker 14 (15:33):
Yeah, I think all our government officials are being paid
off by the cartel, just like they do in Mexico.
That's why they're running our border and not our government.
And I'm sure, mister Greasy, our governor is number one
on the payroll.
Speaker 11 (15:48):
Oh John, when are you going to stop railing against
electric cars?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
The Ford F one fifty is an exception.
Speaker 12 (15:56):
It's a really big truck with a huge battery, one
hundred and twenty kilo hour battery.
Speaker 15 (16:02):
It's not very efficient, it's not very practical.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
They're not all like that.
Speaker 15 (16:08):
No, you can't take a Ford F one point fifty
on a long drip and just expect to recharge it
in twenty minutes.
Speaker 16 (16:14):
No, you can't, hey, John, driving my electric vehicle right
now that we've threw the halfway across the country in
the winter when range is supposed to be worse, and we.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Haven't ever had a problem.
Speaker 16 (16:24):
Once Tesla opens up their reliable charge network, which is
happening for many brands, things are going to get a
lot better. Yes, the Electrify America grid absolutely is terrible
or that network, but the Tesla one it really isn't.
So stop harping on electric cars. I prefer driving over
my gas car.
Speaker 11 (16:42):
Yeah, I swear we are related. I'm like an identical
twin in the way I think just like you. The
Worner problem, it's to bring down the system. I think
it's to bring down the system, and the government could
come in and take control of whatever they want because
they can screen crisis. I've let a good crisis going away.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Just a quick heads up.
Speaker 17 (17:03):
I'm enjoying a cigarette right now because I've stepped out
of a room before I almost knock the living out
of somebody that is considered a supervisor to me. This
person has been with the company one third of the
time I have, and there's about two thirds of the
age that I am that don't have my cigarette.
Speaker 18 (17:22):
The guy becomes Plus, take your battles, thank you for leaving.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Your message, Please hang up good fine, And.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
There's a smoking benefit there. Redirects your energies for a
few minutes and you don't kill somebody. All right. That's
round one of the moistline, and round two is going
to come up in about a half an hour when
we come back. Do you know that there are thousands
(17:49):
of people who used to live in a lot Los Angeles?
They are now in the category of the unclaimed dead. Yes,
these are people who die and nobody ever claims them.
And you might think that after a period of time,
they're just put into what they used to call it
pauper's grave, right, a community grave. Well, yeah they do,
(18:12):
but it takes years to get there because we spend
millions of dollars trying to figure out who they are.
We have a whole team of investigators who waste a
lot of time and money trying to find out who
a particular person is, a person which apparently no one
on the planet cares about. But we have to get
their identity before we dump them into the community grave. Seriously,
(18:34):
the Associated Press did a detailed story on this, and
I'm reading this this morning, and I'm going you've got
to beginning me. Well, we'll talk about we come back.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You got to hear our interview about the road diet
proposition that's coming on the ballot March fifth. Unless Angelus
road diets, they're going to turn the streets into a
maze of bicycle lanes and bus lanes and crosswalks and
restricted pedestrian areas. They're going to squeeze cars off the road,
(19:15):
create terrible traffic. It's the return of that whole road
diet virus that we fought off back in twenty seventeen
against Garcetti and Mike Bonnen in mar Vista and Implia
del Rey. It's now back in the form of a proposition,
and we talked for half an hour about it with
(19:38):
one of the activists who's trying to stop it, and
you definitely ought to listen to that interview because that's
that's going to be life changing. I saw this story
in the Associated Press feed today and I mean, it's
a little bit gruesome and sad, I grant you, and
maybe there's something wrong with me, but when the reaction
(19:58):
I had after reading the whole thing is why the
hell are we paying so much money for this? You know,
there's there's people, obviously by the hundreds or thousands, depending
on the size of the city, who die in a
given year and nobody claims their remains. They're usually well,
they're homeless people, or they're really old and eccentric, and
(20:21):
they are no friends or relatives left behind who want
to want to speak with them anymore or care about them.
And so they die, and often they have no ID.
Even if they have a home, they have no obvious ID.
I mean, obviously a homeless person laying in the street
often is anonymous. But they open this story. The worker
(20:43):
is uh A Rushshak Marktyroschan, and her job is to
go to the apartments of people who died who are unidentified,
because it turns out, when you die, if nobody claims
your body, you're going to be stuck in a freezer
(21:03):
for three years. Three years in the freezer at the
morgue while a team of investigators try to figure out
who you are. And I'm I'm I'm reading this, I'm saying,
why are we spending money on this? If you've been
so unpleasant in life that nobody claims you for three years,
(21:24):
why is that? My problem is a taxpayer to fund
the investigation? What do you have to do to turn
off the entire There's eight billion people in the world.
Three years nobody comes calling, you must have been one
pain in the ass. Uh So, this woman named Arushak,
(21:44):
she opens the door of this one bedroom apartment. They
call it a micro apartment, and it's a hoarder's paradise.
There's some photos. Wedged against the door is a giant
box of gain laundry, detergent, plastic tubs, blouses, t shirts
hanging from a curtain rod. In the living room, all
the sunlight is blocked out bins and boxes with more clothes.
(22:07):
You can't see the carpet, empty takeout containers, tupperware with
bugs trapped inside seventy four year room and died in
October in the hospital and nobody came for the remains.
So this lady Aroushak puts on a protective suit and
they're looking for anything a greeting card, a letter, something
(22:28):
with a family's address on the return label, so that
this woman could get a proper burial. And they're called
the Unclaimed Dead. They have a dozen investigators, a dozen
who work for the Public Administrator, which is a little
tiny corner of our county government. And this is what
(22:50):
they do all day, and they try to put together
the clues and the puzzle pieces to figure out who
it is. So while you're frozen for three years, the company,
the investigators do what they do. They call nursing homes,
they call churches and synagogues. They go through public records,
(23:11):
they go through ancestry websites. They go through every specier
home or apartment looking for a tiny piece of identity.
But often these people had no friends, they had no
surviving family, or none that are interested, or people who
don't want to pay for the burial. That's the thing.
If you claim the remains, then you get then you
(23:33):
got to you're buying the body, and then you're buying
the rights to bury the body. And they every year
the unclaimed bodies are well, they're they're they're cremated and
they have a ceremony. And on December fourteenth they buried
(23:55):
nineteen hundred and thirty seven people, including a lot of
coronavirus patients. Because you know, three years is up, and
it's homeless people, it's immigrants. Sometimes it's children. When does
a child die and nobody claims the child? Maybe these
(24:15):
are this is just crazy. A few dozen people show up,
but I don't really I mean I could see, you know,
given it a couple of weeks. But there's no reason
to pay an entire department for a three year investigation
for because get they get hundreds of new people every year.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Why don't we split the difference and instead of three years,
do one and a half and take that extra money
and put it toward that animal shelter in Orange County
that has these animals are living in atrocious conditions and
not being taken care of.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, I know, I'm saying there's so much money wasted
really on nonsense. If you spend a year and a
half and nobody raises their hand and say, look, I'll
handle this. I mean, look, people who end up that alone,
it's almost always their own fault. There's a reason for this.
If they ever dig into two people who they're stranged
(25:10):
from their entire family and they have no friends. Come on,
I know plenty of unpleasant people who have plenty of
family of friends, I don't know what, and often they're
just nuts. They're so I mean, this hoarder lady, really,
you know who's going to bother with her? I'm sure
that little micro apartment just smelled and looked disgusting. But
(25:31):
this is what we've got. We have a whole team
of investigators in La County. Yeah, you know what. They
have a huge storehouse of all the possessions. They try
to sell possessions, but some of them they can't sell
or they have certain criteria. The County is a warehouse
full of vinyl records, Barbie Doll collections, classic cars, framed artwork,
(25:58):
and eventually they auction it off to pay to bury
other people. And then at the end of it, hundreds
or thousands of people are buried. They have little boxes
that contain their ashes, and there's one blank stone over
the communal burial site that just lists the year of
the burial. And that's it. Seems like a job Ray
(26:21):
would have, doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Maybe he should do that part time. I know he'd
whipped them in shape.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I mean he would.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
I think he might make things better.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, well, at least the side quicker. We come back.
We got what do we got? Oh? Around two of
the moistline.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
We're on from one into four. It's getting close to four,

call for the gold Pool eleven fifty nine. Tonight entry
window closes. You go to CAFI AM six forty dot com,

die at the end of the year. You could win prizes.
We had six winners six prizes. They went three for

(27:30):
than that, you'll vote for wherever you want and we'll

it's time for the moistline one eight seven seven moist
eighty six.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Hey, it's Sean. Thanks for calling the moistline. I'm so
excited to hear from you. About time you.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Go to the toy store and they don't have the
toy you're looking for, gender nutul or whatelse, it's just
go on Amazon buy it from them. They deliver it
to your door and it's that easy. The white mandate,
the store has to have this, that, and the other.
The store will pretty quick put those things on theirs if.
Speaker 11 (28:00):
They see it.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Although it's all really good at Amazon.
Speaker 11 (28:03):
I'm not a fan of gender neutral bathrooms because if
it doesn't have a year and all, I'm pean in
the sink.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Hey, let's hear it for Iron zeering.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
These little motorcycle dougs that are riding.
Speaker 19 (28:17):
Around, they're all over the plate, and if we don't
stand up to them like Iron did, they're gonna take over.
Speaker 18 (28:24):
I'm really pissed off because of this wealth distribution here
in California, with the electric bills, I have to pay
for somebody else because they can't afford to pay their
electric PIOM. Why isn't it is the boat going on here,
the socialized data, I can't stand it.
Speaker 15 (28:41):
I just decided that inside Safe is not for the vagrance,
It's for us. Have you noticed on the news all
these camps are coming back that she quote unquote cleared
out and was surprised their back. So I think the
inside Safe program means for us to stay inside and safe,
not the vagrance.
Speaker 20 (29:00):
His line in my in LA, five hospitals closed. They
just couldn't handle the influx of these these illegals. So
now it's bad enough I have to wait in the
urgence here, I have to wait in the emergency.
Speaker 6 (29:13):
I have to wait, wait to make.
Speaker 20 (29:14):
An apployment, and then I'm subsidizing them here sitting side
by side in the waiting room, not painting a dime
loosen us.
Speaker 18 (29:23):
I don't understand this.
Speaker 12 (29:25):
I work six days a week, I work really hard.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
I don't think anything from the government and.
Speaker 12 (29:30):
Living at homeless people.
Speaker 13 (29:31):
Houses and all the stuff to the people who.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
Take big dumps on the street and urinate and give
them everything.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
When I have a degree of works my.
Speaker 16 (29:40):
Butt off, my whole life, and.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
This is ridiculous, ridiculous.
Speaker 13 (29:45):
Hey, this year, I'd like to see the Department of
Veterans Affairs hire enough dental laboratory technicians to fully staff
their two hundred plus dental clinics. Here in Los Angeles,
are Va Medical Center with their nine dental clinics have
no staff dental lab texts.
Speaker 21 (30:03):
What these bozos in government do not realize is that
you cannot solve the homeless problem by providing housing to
people who are mentally ill. That isn't the issue. The
issue is getting treatment for their mental illness.
Speaker 22 (30:16):
You take your gifts in the new year. When we
find that this phone line is completely overwhelmed with calls
regarding the obvious cameras that are installed for speed on
the highway, let's face the fact it's unfair. There's no
substitute for officer on a motorcycle or in a car.
How many people are going to get stuck with a
(30:37):
ticket when somebody else steals the car or even borrows
the car within the old family.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Thank you for leaving your message, Please hang up, goodbye.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Moist eighty six. That's the number for next Friday. Two
things jumped out at me. Another thing you could listen
to on the podcast is our interview with Assemblyman Bill
because one of the callers referenced this issue. Starting this week,
we are paying for health care for every illegal alien
(31:10):
in California. I has three four million of them. Yeah,
we are everybody from birth to death. And it's going
to cost at least four billion dollars. You know it's
going to be more. State budget has sixty eight billion
dollar deficit, so this has got to stop it Because
he was talking about how the emergency room is in
(31:31):
urgent care is so overcrowded. Well, it's only going to
get worse and worse. They're all going to get medical
anybody who comes here. Now, do you think this might
be a magnet since there's millions coming over the border
when in California be a good stop you instantly as
soon as you set foot in the state, you're eligible
for free healthcare. So we'll be jumping on that some
(31:52):
more conways here, I don't get free healthcare. You got
to work.
Speaker 19 (31:56):
And I've been here a long time, man, I was
bory raising this sucker. You don't have to you just
come here. You don't have to work.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
That's right. You're talking to me about people legally. No,
I'm talking talking about people here illegally. They don't have
to work. That's right.
Speaker 19 (32:08):
Market at least, well, Alex Michaelson's coming on tonight.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
He works.

That's gonna be exciting.
Speaker 19 (32:19):
A four point two magnitude earthquake. I felt that. Did
you feel it? Ten fifty five?
Speaker 1 (32:24):
No?
Speaker 19 (32:25):
Well, the problem with this quake it was on the
San Andreas fault.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
That's a big deal. That's a four shot. That's a
big deal. I was trying to tell Deborah this because
that's two quakes this week.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
We have.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
It's a pattern.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Now.
Speaker 19 (32:36):
Yeah, And somebody in this room canceled their earthquake insurance
two days ago. No, I canna tell you. I'm looking
around David soul passed away. I love that guy from
Start Ski and Hotch. I used to drive him. I
drove a lemousine. I drove him and his family around.
Oh really, man, very nice, ma'am, and he's along with us.
Plus a new study out there, alcoholic beverages may decreate
(33:00):
the risk of cants.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 19 (33:02):
Increase sorry, boo, you're gone, increase your risk of can
I'm sick.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Of hearing from these people. I heard that on the news.
They're running it on the news all day, and every
time I came, I was like, shut up. I heard
that forty five beer trucks ago. Yeah, you know, how
come people are living longer than ever?
Speaker 19 (33:22):
I don't know. I don't know, John, I don't know.
But Eric, you're a beer drinker, right, like a beer
I would say, I like alcohol. I'm not really beer
particularly Well. Have you ever passed a beer truck like
a Hey Nike in or a Budweiser truck and you thought, Man,
I think I've wiped one of those trucks out my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 19 (33:38):
Every time I drive past the Miller Life Plan, I
just want to hop in one of those big, those
big barrels.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Outside barrel. That's great. I think I've wiped out a
beer truck.
Speaker 19 (33:48):
I think, And if you add up all the beers
I've had, I've wiped out a beer truck. So if
you're driving near a beer truck right now, think about that.
How many beers you've had? Could you have wiped out
a truck?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Today?
Speaker 19 (33:59):
We're going to find out how many beers are on
the truck? All right, all right, that's today's sign, today's
bounce of beers on the truck.
