Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome, Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
How are you follow us at John Cobelt Radio on
social media at John Cobelt Radio on social media. Listen
to us every day here on KFI from one to
four o'clock and then after four o'clock if you've missed
part of the show, the whole show, it's on the
iHeart app John Cobelt Show on demand. It's the podcast.
It's the same as the radio show. So that's how
(00:27):
you can keep track of all that's going on two
o'clock hour. I'm telling you right now two o'clock you
want to be listening to the show where you want
to remember to pick it up on the podcast. Later,
we are going to have a USC professor Michael Micheon.
He is from the Marshall School of Business at USC.
(00:47):
He has done a study on why gas prices in
California have been so high for the last fifty years.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
And I know why, and you know why.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It's obvious, but our lying governor Gavin Newsom keeps insisting
that the oil companies are manipulating the price, price gouging
and all the rest of that nonsense. He's had various commissions.
I think he even held a special session of the legislature,
and he tries to pound that propaganda, that big lie
(01:22):
to everyone's head, and the idiot democrats in the legislature
repeat the lie. The media amplifies the lie. It's always
been a lie. And I'm just going to give you
two lines for Michael Michi's report and we're going to
have them on after two o'clock.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Listen to this.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Based on thirty to fifty years of data, the primary
conclusion is that California's high gasoline prices and supply dilemmas
are largely self inflicted and the result of directed policies
(02:02):
and a litany of regulations, taxes, fees, and costs. That's
what the study says. The economic evidence is abundant. California
refiners have not engaged in widespread price gouging, profiteering, price manipulation,
unexplained residual prices, or surcharges magical or otherwise. In other words,
(02:29):
there seems to be no truth to all the charges
that the oil companies, the gas refineries have been builking us,
gouging us, stealing from US, none. Mischi's study found it's
entirely from directed policies, regulations, taxes, fees, costs that the
(02:52):
state imposes. This is the truth, and that's why I'll
check again in a few minutes. But as of yesterday,
we were paying four dollars and ninety five cents for
a gallon of gas, and in South Carolina they're paying
two dollars and seventy five cents. And there's about forty
three states that are paying three and a quarter or less,
(03:14):
and we're at four ninety five, by far the highest.
It's because of our government. The government is created an
obscene cost for us just to fill our gas tank,
obscene to no benefit, at least no benefit to us.
(03:35):
And there's one thing, and it seems like everyone in
the other forty nine states are figuring this out, is
that the government does not provide much benefit to the
average person outside of redirecting money, for example, Social Security
payments or Medicare payments. They can do the transfer payment
(04:00):
pretty well, but as far as creating programs or schemes
to further their agenda, it almost never helps us. You know,
they no longer do the basics of government. We have
half a fire department. We have a defunded police department.
The roads, Oh my god, a story about the roads
(04:21):
in my neighborhood just happened this week. All the basics s.
They don't even bother funding anymore. The transfer payments kind
of work on their own. You know, you turn sixty five,
you fill out the paperwork and you can get Social
Security benefits. Not really a big deal, no magic there.
(04:41):
But when they come up with these whack job green
energy programs, which has been plaguing the state for almost
twenty years now, going back to that idiot Schwarzeneger, all
it's done is cost us a ton of money. So
I'm really looking forward to having Michael Micheon from you.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Speaking of idiots running government, Eric found that La Mayor
Karen Bass has shown up on a podcast something called
The Daily Beans. The hell is this? The Daily Beans
with doctor Allison Gill and Mass is a great example,
(05:24):
along with Newsom, of just pure absolute incompetence. And I
don't even think she knows how incompetent she is. That's
a key when you have these sociopathic and competent boobs,
they don't have self awareness. In the aftermath of the fire.
(05:45):
We told you a couple of weeks ago that were
only four rebuilding permits approved four and she's claims she's
fast tracking permits if you'll promise to use only electrical appliances,
which is more heck had a bad sneeze, thank you, uh,
(06:06):
which is more.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Green energy nonsense. I it's a free country.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
We should be able to use gas appliance as we want,
electrical appliances whatever is on the market and legal, uh
and and and from what I have, I've too many
friends who lost their homes or too many friends who've
been smoked out of their homes. And so I've heard
all the inside stories, the UH, the the the purbating process,
(06:36):
the red tape process is as bad as it ever was.
It's as bad as you could imagine with Karen Bass
and Gavin Newsom running things. So despite all their propaganda
and all their feel good messaging, I will say Bass
uh had an announcement this week that the cleanup is
(06:58):
is record breaking. And I didn't know they kept records.
I don't know how many towns were completely burned down
in a fire, but she claims record breaking cleanup and
at least though she went on to credit the Trump
administration because it is the federal government that's doing the cleanup.
It's FEMA directed, So she's had nothing to do with
(07:23):
cleaning up the either the debris on the properties or
the contemidated toxic dirt. The toxic dirt which is much
of the operation right now, and some of the degree,
that's all been hauled off, if not by private carriers,
mostly the federal government FEMA. But at least she admitted that.
On the first time I heard her prattling about this
(07:44):
a couple of weeks ago, she made it sound like,
you know, under her reign, under her direction, we've had
record breaking speed for the recovery effort. Well, no, it's
federal government actually doing it properly. All right, come back.
I don't know what the Daily Beans podcast is about,
or doctor Allison Gill, but Bass we have a few
(08:08):
clips and she talks about homelessness, you know, her Inside
Safe program, which has been wildly overhyped and exaggerated and
is extremely expensive and is running out of money because
the city's bankrupt. She talks about that. We'll come back,
We'll play some of it and see how much nonsense
(08:30):
is in this podcast.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I
am six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I'm gonna need a moment to compose myself of the funs.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
What did I miss?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well, it's online.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
There's a news story about funeral and they showed all
the pall bearers carrying the heavy caskets.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You saw, yes, I did.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I meant to send it to you, and the platform
they were walking on collapsed and they all fell into
the grave, all the pall bearers and the casket and
the dead body.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Everybody ended up in the.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
I didn't find it. You didn't laugh, No, I thought, no,
I did it. I thought it was awful.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
John.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
If it was one of your family members, how would
you feel it wasn't so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
But it's other people. It's yeah, No, I felt bad actually.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Knowing my brother, we probably both would burst out laughing. Wow,
that is just that's one of a kind. I've never
seen that before. And the TV station has a graphic
casket catastrophe.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
That's a great graphic. I knew you would bust up
over there. You're so predictable.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Well, I just watched it just a few seconds before
we went back on the air.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
It's so funny. I had such a different reaction.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
You're a girl. Girls are no fun No.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
I think we just we're deeper and we think about
we think about, oh my god, what if that was
one of our families.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
But it wasn't. It was somebody.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Oh the lead Paul Barry. He was a big guy,
and he went down first in fat. You know, he
was like a three hundred pounder at least, so he
probably collapsed the platform and then he was holding the
casket behind him, so that casket probably came right down
on top of him. Well, anyway, in other news, by
the way, Ken sent.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Me the story he did, Oh that's funny.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Because that's the main way we communicate is over over
death stories.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
All right, that was I doing? Oh yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
We have Karen Bass appearing on a podcast called The
Daily Beans with somebody named doctor Allison Gill and she
talks about homelessness here and because you know the Insight
Safe program where she stuffed some of the homeless people
into dilapidated motels, it's very expensive, even a rent out
(11:13):
a dilapidated motel that costs a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
So let's listen to this cut.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
Number one homelessness in general. Give us the picture of
what's going on in Los Angeles.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
Well, absolutely, Anne, I want to talk specifically about veterans homeless,
because much good news there. Let me just say that
for the first time in years, homelessness has been escalating,
and finally we see it tipping down, and especially street homelessness, where.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Weave a second tipping down that means a slight statistical decrease,
assuming they're honest and assuming they're competent accounting the homeless bodies,
slight tipping down, and at the rate it's tipping down,
it's going to take probably to the year twenty forty
five to zero. Well, except by then another generation of
(12:02):
homeless people who have moved in continue.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
Them, especially street homelessness, where we've had a ten percent
reduction in the city of Los Angeles. We have so
much more to do because the system is profoundly broken.
But the mandate I felt from Angelino's coming into office
was get the people off the street and into housing.
Don't just move them a few blocks away so I
(12:25):
can't see them. Get them house and get them cared for.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Stop this one. Stop it.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yesterday I told you the story of the homeless guy
we're dealing with not far from my house on Sanma
Sente Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
And he's psychotic.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
As I told you yesterday, he chased my wife and
I down the street. We were in a car. We
stopped to take a picture of him. He went nuts.
He ran across two lanes of traffic, across a median.
He had a big heavy stick or a pipe in
his hand, and he made a left and he was
chasing us down the road.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Now I did some fo.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
This guy is a well known neighborhood psycho and apparently
falls outside of the zone where the city can force
him to move.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I don't know if you remember.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
A few years ago, they passed some law and it
was known as forty one eighteen. That was the municipal
code and if you were within I forget five hundred
feet of a school or a daycare center, the homeless
people could be forced away. But where he is, he's
outside of that.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Now. He's a violent psycho.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
He's been around for a long time, but because he's
outside the forty one eighteen zone, they don't know what
to do with him. And what I'm told is this
year's a great term. He's service resistant because he's psychotic.
(13:53):
So when she talks about getting some of the people
off the street, she's talking about the docile people who
are not severely mentally ill or whose brains are not
completely fried by the drugs they take. But the worst
of the worst are the ones who are left on
the street.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Because the city won't force them.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Into well jail, a mental patient clinic, a drug treatment center.
You have to force them, but no, nearly all the
city council believes that the worst psychos in the city
have civil rights, that they have the right to carry
(14:41):
on with their life and the way they see thick
these are the worst people. She's taking credit for putting
away the easiest people, but the worst people. Their policy
is not to touch them. If they fall outside of
the restricted zone and their service resistant, they get to.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Call the shots.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
And if they want to put up a he's got
a really big self created encampment, and he's got all
kinds of stolen goods, and he's got weapons, and he's
aggressive and violent. I know. So this is the city
we're in where she can go and babble to some
friendly goof who has a podcast, the Daily Beans, and
(15:32):
she can make sound like she's making a change, having
an effect. Actually, the worst ones she's not even touching.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
She thinks they have.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
The civil right to run them up and be insane
because they're not consenting to being moved, because they're insane,
they're not agreeing to service, because they're insane, they're psycho
and violent.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
In other words, the people who most.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Need to be taken off the streets are the ones
least likely to be removed under Karen Bass's policies. Not
that you'd figure that out listening to the Daily Beans.
All right, we'll play you more of this clip and
another one or two when we come back.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We'ren every day from one until four, and if you
miss anything, go to the Our Heart podcast at four o'clock.
John Cobelt's show on demand, same as the radio show.
We have so much good stuff coming up. Next segment,
we have the audio from the Philadelphia television station that
ran the news story of Paul Bars carrying a casket
(16:46):
and they stepped onto a platform over the grave, and
the platform collapsed and all the pallbearers tumbled into the
grave with the casket, and.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
It's more of a visual thing, but I just want
to hear.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Apparently the anchors are dead serious describing the scene, so
we'll play that coming up, Eric and Ray and I
thought it was hysterically fun.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Of course, you guys, did I.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
I yeah, I just felt I would have flipped out.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I no, But what that I was that I was
in the casket and I.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
No, no, no, Well it would have been a little
tiny casket, so it wouldn't have been as heavy. I
think it's the lead pall bearer. This guy was a
big point.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Fat shame uh.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Nobody's ever used that phrase on our show before the
first one.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Fat shame.
Speaker 8 (17:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Michael Mischi's coming on. He's professor at USC the Marshall
School of Business. He's got a new study based on
fifty years of data. The conclusion is that our high
gas prices and supply problems largely self inflicted by the
government a litany of regulations, taxes, fees, costs, and their policies.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
There is.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
No evidence that there's widespread price gouging or profiteering on
the part of the oil companies. So the big lie
Gavin Newsom has been selling for six years is exactly
that the big lie. So we're going to have him
in the right after two o'clock after Deborah's news. All right,
we're in the middle of playing the Daily Beans podcast.
(18:35):
We bring you only the best material here because Karen
bass is on. I don't know who doctor Allison gill is.
I don't know what the Daily Beans mean. But she
was claiming in the last segment that homelessness is tipping down,
and she was bragging about her Inside Safe program. And
I'm telling you, this is a load of crap, because
the most dangerous people are being left behind on the street,
(18:58):
and we ran into one in the past week. Play
more of this.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Clip, Get them house and get them cared for. And
so I launched a program called Insights Safe. I signed
a number of executive directives to cut through the red
tape and get building underway. But you know what, even
with that, you can't build fast enough. So we need
a system of long term interim housing, some place where
(19:24):
individuals can be for a year a year and a
half while a building is being put together.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
So it costs the city almost a million dollars a
year per apartment, almost a million dollars, and the city
is broke. Even with all the new homeless money, it's broke.
So you're never going to have you. We can't build
fast enough, you can't build because all your excessive regulations
and nonsense play some more.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
And so we're working on more cost effective models because
motels are too expensive. But one thing is is that
it is so expensive for people to be on the streets,
aside from the fact that four to five.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Of them don't wake up every morning.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
But the burden that they cause to people who are
housed is just enormous.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
And so why do they keep ah, they're stupid phrases.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
How did they look?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
They never by accident, forget to say housed and unhoused.
The burden they put on people who are housed, as
if we're housed by magic, as if it's an accident,
as if it's pure luck that I am housed and
you are housed. It's got nothing to do with us
getting up in the morning and going to work so
(20:37):
we could earn money to be housed. Or we've had
the good sense not to overindulge with drugs and alcohol
and turn our mind into mush.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Geese.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
And if we have a mental problem, we take our medication. Right,
you take your medication. What are you saying, you'd never
end up homeless. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Okay, I thought maybe you were saying I was mentally ill.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
No, no, no, it was a compliment. If you were
mentally ill, you take your medications.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
I may not if I was mentally ill.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
That's a problem with mentally people. Crazy people don't think
they're crazy, so they won't take they're crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Good thing.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
I'm not crazy, so I don't have to worry about
taking it crazy.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
It's a good thing, all right, Continue with Alison Gill
and the Daily Beans.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
But a burden that they cause to people who are
housed is just enormous. And so this is a humanitarian
crisis that the nation's second largest city has got to solve.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, and you're well, ten years of this we've got
to solve. She's in her third year as mayor. It's
ten years of people being disgusted with homelessness. We've got
to solve. We're looking at other solutions. Well, let's see,
motels don't work. You can't build the apartments, you have
(21:55):
no money for the apartments, you're broke, You're back to
dormitory rooms, or I have an idea, toss them out
of the city, put them in buses, and drive them
out to the desert. Why don't you try that. They
will find their way back. They don't know who they
are where they are out. Play some more.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
Yeah, and you're well on your way, I mean, and
it's going down now for the first time in a
long time, I recall with veteran homelessness under the Obama administration,
I think we were able to cut it in half,
and then it started going up again.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
I can't remember during whose.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Term that was.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
I think it was sometime between twenty sixteen and twenty twenty,
but I'm not quite sure.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
All right, that's right. Trump was throwing veterans into the
street to die. Right, people are in a sick cult.
All right, let's play another clip here, we got time? Yeah, Now,
this is about, Oh, how is Karen Bass cutting through
the red tape for homelessness?
Speaker 7 (22:51):
Tell us how you're cutting through this through the red tape,
and how you're working with other stakeholders to make sure
that this problem DAKE is more easily solved, because, like
you said, so much red tape, so much time. This
has to be done incrementally, and the plan that you've
put together is truly incredible, just in the fact that
it is a step by stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Stop she has to stop and give a Bass a
tongue death every few minutes. Your plan is truly incredible.
It is not truly incredible. She paid a fortune in
our tax money to empty motel owners and stuffed the
(23:33):
homeless in there. That's truly incredible. This is truly incredible.
You know how much this is costing. Karen Bass herself says,
we can't afford this. The city's broke. They just looked
around and saw these dumpy, old, disgusting hotels where drug
addicts and hookers live, and said, all right, I guess,
(23:53):
I guess we could use people's tax money and put
them there for the time being until we run out
of money, which they did.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Play some more.
Speaker 7 (24:02):
Is truly incredible, just in the fact that it is
a step by step process, a real action plan with
real results, right.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
It absolutely is.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
I mean, you were talking about a dysfunctional system that
has creeped along for the last over twenty years, and
so you're not going to correct that in two short years.
But we've certainly made headway. But One of the things
I've discovered along this journey is that there are a
lot of policies that are in place that keep people
on the street. Veterans. For example, if you are a
(24:33):
veteran and you take veterans benefits, we counted that as
your income and then said you made too much money,
so I'm not going to give you a housing voucher.
So last year I took fifty mayors to Washington, d c.
We went to the White House, we went with the
Secretary of Veteran Affairs, and we got that policy change.
We literally have three thousand vouchers in Los Angeles that
(24:57):
veterans can't access until now, and so now we are
going to launch a campaign to get veterans housed by
appealing to landlords to say, do your patriotic duty, and
how's a veteran we have the voucher for you.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Can stop a second.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Do you know who was in Washington during that time
in Congress when her party had the House, the Senate,
and the presidency, they'd be carried bass. It was under
her party that they had this rule which they didn't rescind,
where if you got veterans benefits, it would count towards
your income. How come when she was in Congress and
(25:39):
we were getting swarms of homeless people, some of them veterans,
most of them not notice. Both she and the host
switched to talking about veterans. They don't want to talk
about the psychotic drug addicted mental patients like the one
that was chasing me this week.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
He's not a veteran.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
You don't know that.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
No, I know that this guy was not in a war.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Ah, but they don't talk about that.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
She doesn't talk about how they don't put the psychos
away if the psycho doesn't accept the service. Oh, well,
you're a service resistant. Oh is I mean I get
to stay on the street? You right, play some more? No,
I guess we can't play somewhere right.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
We have the voucher for you, We have the venture
that's well, amazing work from your office on this and
I look forward to it continuing.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Wow, a couple of tongue licks right there at the end. Huh,
amazing work. It's amazing work. Who is this doctor, Allison Gill?
I got to look her up. She's easily impressed. Daily
beans were like the daily fart.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Can't I Am six forty More stimulating talk radio John
Colt Show After two o'clock. Michael Mishi, professor at USC
Marshall School of Business. He's done a study found out,
over the last fifty years, the reason California has such
high gas prices largely self inflicted, and California refiners have
(27:18):
not engaged in price gouging and profiteering. We'll talk to Dykler,
We'll talk to Michael Mishi. Coming up after two o'clock.
By the way, the host of that irritating podcast we
just played with Karen Bass, doctor Alison Gill. I just
looked her up on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
You're not going to tell me what she looks like,
are you?
Speaker 7 (27:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Okay, I'm going to tell you what her pronouns are.
She her, She's one of those annoying people that puts
their pronouns on the top of their Twitter.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Actually, she's got a good looking.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Oh really yeah, she's hot, Yeah really.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Yeah, she has she her and blm, there's no date there. Boy,
that's not a funny evening. Hi, I'm Allison.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
She her.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Some people like that.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Have you ever given your pronouns? Tall?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Anybody ever asked, No, it's kind of obvious, is it. Yeah,
if anybody's a she heards you. All right, Now we're
going to play, uh, my favorite video of the year.
This is from Philadelphia TV wpv I. There is a
(28:35):
family of pallbearers carrying a large casket into a grave.
You know how there's a platform on top of the
grave and they usually do a little ceremony. Well, as
they walked onto the platform, it was made of wood.
It collapsed and the casket and all the pallbearers went
tumbling into the grave. Listened to the grave demeanor of
(28:56):
the anchors introducing this story.
Speaker 10 (28:57):
Here with a funeral burial going terribly along a greathing
family is speaking out today after Paul Bears fell into
the grave while carrying the casket of their loved one
in North Philadelphia.
Speaker 8 (29:08):
The platform above the burial site collapsed right.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
From under their feet.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
Action news reporter Chappardelli joins US Now Live from North
Philadelphia with further details.
Speaker 9 (29:18):
Chat.
Speaker 11 (29:19):
Yeah, this scary incident happened Friday here at Greenmount Cemetery.
The family wants to know why it happened, whether it
could have been prevented, and they also want an apology,
and it was all captured on video.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Short steps, the pall.
Speaker 11 (29:31):
Bearers carried Benjamin of Elis to his final resting spot.
As they began to lay down the casket, the platform
above the burial site collapsed, sending the men plunging into
the burial hole.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
It was just a horrible incident that happened in a
bad moment.
Speaker 11 (29:48):
Of Elis's stepdaughter, Marabel Rodriguez, says, the men who fell
into the hole all suffered injuries, mostly to their legs, hands,
and back. Of Elis's son suffered the worst of it.
Speaker 9 (29:58):
The casket laid on top with him and he was
out like a light. His face was in the mud.
Speaker 11 (30:04):
She and her family blamed Greenmount Cemetery and the Rodriguez
Funeral Home for what she calls subpar conditions for a burial.
Marabell Rodriguez says no relation to the funeral home.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
The whole thing was trembling. It was like wobbly, It
was unstable. It was all wet and soaked.
Speaker 11 (30:20):
Both the funeral home and cemetery had no comment to
Action News today. Some boards and broken wood can be
seen at the burial plot, but a Velis is finally
late to rest.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
I think that they should apologize. I think that there
should be some v embursement involved, being that the ceremony
was interrupted, nothing was done properly.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
And the family tells me none of the injuries is
considered serious and all are expected to be.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Okay, you notice they played the video again with the
people screaming in the background.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
What did you expect the anchor to say, we have
a funny story to tell you.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I can't explain myself.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
You guys, all you, Ray and Eric are all insensitive too.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Don't leave vout sent it to us, you guys.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
I mean I was thinking of the story. I just
didn't laugh at it.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
He didn't, not even a little bit, because you laugh
at some cruel stuff.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Yes, but this this for whatever reason, I.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Okay, all right, all right, So okay, you have a heart.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
I do.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
So, you guys do not. I'm the only one.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
You're the only one. All right.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
When we come back, we're going to have Michael Michigan.
He's a professor at USC Marshall Business School. Yes, his study,
Uh it really tells you the obvious reason we have
guy high gas prices here in California. Uh, it's the
government's fault regulations, taxes, fees, costs. It's largely self inflicted.
(31:57):
He says there has been no whites read price gouging
or profiteering from the oil companies. Everything Gavin Newsom has
been selling for many years is total nonsense. A complete
Live Michael Mischi from US Professor. He's up next, Deborah
Mark at her Heart. He's the news live in the
KFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to
(32:19):
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
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome, Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
How are you follow us at John Cobelt Radio on
social media at John Cobelt Radio on social media. Listen
to us every day here on KFI from one to
four o'clock and then after four o'clock if you've missed
part of the show, the whole show, it's on the
iHeart app John Cobelt Show on demand. It's the podcast.
It's the same as the radio show. So that's how
(00:27):
you can keep track of all that's going on two
o'clock hour. I'm telling you right now two o'clock you
want to be listening to the show where you want
to remember to pick it up on the podcast. Later,
we are going to have a USC professor Michael Micheon.
He is from the Marshall School of Business at USC.
(00:47):
He has done a study on why gas prices in
California have been so high for the last fifty years.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
And I know why, and you know why.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It's obvious, but our lying governor Gavin Newsom keeps insisting
that the oil companies are manipulating the price, price gouging
and all the rest of that nonsense. He's had various commissions.
I think he even held a special session of the legislature,
and he tries to pound that propaganda, that big lie
(01:22):
to everyone's head, and the idiot democrats in the legislature
repeat the lie. The media amplifies the lie. It's always
been a lie. And I'm just going to give you
two lines for Michael Michi's report and we're going to
have them on after two o'clock.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Listen to this.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Based on thirty to fifty years of data, the primary
conclusion is that California's high gasoline prices and supply dilemmas
are largely self inflicted and the result of directed policies
(02:02):
and a litany of regulations, taxes, fees, and costs. That's
what the study says. The economic evidence is abundant. California
refiners have not engaged in widespread price gouging, profiteering, price manipulation,
unexplained residual prices, or surcharges magical or otherwise. In other words,
(02:29):
there seems to be no truth to all the charges
that the oil companies, the gas refineries have been builking us,
gouging us, stealing from US, none. Mischi's study found it's
entirely from directed policies, regulations, taxes, fees, costs that the
(02:52):
state imposes. This is the truth, and that's why I'll
check again in a few minutes. But as of yesterday,
we were paying four dollars and ninety five cents for
a gallon of gas, and in South Carolina they're paying
two dollars and seventy five cents. And there's about forty
three states that are paying three and a quarter or less,
(03:14):
and we're at four ninety five, by far the highest.
It's because of our government. The government is created an
obscene cost for us just to fill our gas tank,
obscene to no benefit, at least no benefit to us.
(03:35):
And there's one thing, and it seems like everyone in
the other forty nine states are figuring this out, is
that the government does not provide much benefit to the
average person outside of redirecting money, for example, Social Security
payments or Medicare payments. They can do the transfer payment
(04:00):
pretty well, but as far as creating programs or schemes
to further their agenda, it almost never helps us. You know,
they no longer do the basics of government. We have
half a fire department. We have a defunded police department.
The roads, Oh my god, a story about the roads
(04:21):
in my neighborhood just happened this week. All the basics s.
They don't even bother funding anymore. The transfer payments kind
of work on their own. You know, you turn sixty five,
you fill out the paperwork and you can get Social
Security benefits. Not really a big deal, no magic there.
(04:41):
But when they come up with these whack job green
energy programs, which has been plaguing the state for almost
twenty years now, going back to that idiot Schwarzeneger, all
it's done is cost us a ton of money. So
I'm really looking forward to having Michael Micheon from you.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Speaking of idiots running government, Eric found that La Mayor
Karen Bass has shown up on a podcast something called
The Daily Beans. The hell is this? The Daily Beans
with doctor Allison Gill and Mass is a great example,
(05:24):
along with Newsom, of just pure absolute incompetence. And I
don't even think she knows how incompetent she is. That's
a key when you have these sociopathic and competent boobs,
they don't have self awareness. In the aftermath of the fire.
(05:45):
We told you a couple of weeks ago that were
only four rebuilding permits approved four and she's claims she's
fast tracking permits if you'll promise to use only electrical appliances,
which is more heck had a bad sneeze, thank you, uh,
(06:06):
which is more.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Green energy nonsense. I it's a free country.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
We should be able to use gas appliance as we want,
electrical appliances whatever is on the market and legal, uh
and and and from what I have, I've too many
friends who lost their homes or too many friends who've
been smoked out of their homes. And so I've heard
all the inside stories, the UH, the the the purbating process,
(06:36):
the red tape process is as bad as it ever was.
It's as bad as you could imagine with Karen Bass
and Gavin Newsom running things. So despite all their propaganda
and all their feel good messaging, I will say Bass
uh had an announcement this week that the cleanup is
(06:58):
is record breaking. And I didn't know they kept records.
I don't know how many towns were completely burned down
in a fire, but she claims record breaking cleanup and
at least though she went on to credit the Trump
administration because it is the federal government that's doing the cleanup.
It's FEMA directed, So she's had nothing to do with
(07:23):
cleaning up the either the debris on the properties or
the contemidated toxic dirt. The toxic dirt which is much
of the operation right now, and some of the degree,
that's all been hauled off, if not by private carriers,
mostly the federal government FEMA. But at least she admitted that.
On the first time I heard her prattling about this
(07:44):
a couple of weeks ago, she made it sound like,
you know, under her reign, under her direction, we've had
record breaking speed for the recovery effort. Well, no, it's
federal government actually doing it properly. All right, come back.
I don't know what the Daily Beans podcast is about,
or doctor Allison Gill, but Bass we have a few
(08:08):
clips and she talks about homelessness, you know, her Inside
Safe program, which has been wildly overhyped and exaggerated and
is extremely expensive and is running out of money because
the city's bankrupt. She talks about that. We'll come back,
We'll play some of it and see how much nonsense
(08:30):
is in this podcast.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I
am six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I'm gonna need a moment to compose myself of the funs.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
What did I miss?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well, it's online.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
There's a news story about funeral and they showed all
the pall bearers carrying the heavy caskets.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You saw, yes, I did.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I meant to send it to you, and the platform
they were walking on collapsed and they all fell into
the grave, all the pall bearers and the casket and
the dead body.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Everybody ended up in the.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
I didn't find it. You didn't laugh, No, I thought, no,
I did it. I thought it was awful.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
John.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
If it was one of your family members, how would
you feel it wasn't so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
But it's other people. It's yeah, No, I felt bad actually.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Knowing my brother, we probably both would burst out laughing. Wow,
that is just that's one of a kind. I've never
seen that before. And the TV station has a graphic
casket catastrophe.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
That's a great graphic. I knew you would bust up
over there. You're so predictable.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Well, I just watched it just a few seconds before
we went back on the air.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
It's so funny. I had such a different reaction.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
You're a girl. Girls are no fun No.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
I think we just we're deeper and we think about
we think about, oh my god, what if that was
one of our families.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
But it wasn't. It was somebody.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Oh the lead Paul Barry. He was a big guy,
and he went down first in fat. You know, he
was like a three hundred pounder at least, so he
probably collapsed the platform and then he was holding the
casket behind him, so that casket probably came right down
on top of him. Well, anyway, in other news, by
the way, Ken sent.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Me the story he did, Oh that's funny.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Because that's the main way we communicate is over over
death stories.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
All right, that was I doing? Oh yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
We have Karen Bass appearing on a podcast called The
Daily Beans with somebody named doctor Allison Gill and she
talks about homelessness here and because you know the Insight
Safe program where she stuffed some of the homeless people
into dilapidated motels, it's very expensive, even a rent out
(11:13):
a dilapidated motel that costs a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
So let's listen to this cut.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
Number one homelessness in general. Give us the picture of
what's going on in Los Angeles.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
Well, absolutely, Anne, I want to talk specifically about veterans homeless,
because much good news there. Let me just say that
for the first time in years, homelessness has been escalating,
and finally we see it tipping down, and especially street homelessness, where.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Weave a second tipping down that means a slight statistical decrease,
assuming they're honest and assuming they're competent accounting the homeless bodies,
slight tipping down, and at the rate it's tipping down,
it's going to take probably to the year twenty forty
five to zero. Well, except by then another generation of
(12:02):
homeless people who have moved in continue.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
Them, especially street homelessness, where we've had a ten percent
reduction in the city of Los Angeles. We have so
much more to do because the system is profoundly broken.
But the mandate I felt from Angelino's coming into office
was get the people off the street and into housing.
Don't just move them a few blocks away so I
(12:25):
can't see them. Get them house and get them cared for.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Stop this one. Stop it.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yesterday I told you the story of the homeless guy
we're dealing with not far from my house on Sanma
Sente Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
And he's psychotic.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
As I told you yesterday, he chased my wife and
I down the street. We were in a car. We
stopped to take a picture of him. He went nuts.
He ran across two lanes of traffic, across a median.
He had a big heavy stick or a pipe in
his hand, and he made a left and he was
chasing us down the road.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Now I did some fo.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
This guy is a well known neighborhood psycho and apparently
falls outside of the zone where the city can force
him to move.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I don't know if you remember.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
A few years ago, they passed some law and it
was known as forty one eighteen. That was the municipal
code and if you were within I forget five hundred
feet of a school or a daycare center, the homeless
people could be forced away. But where he is, he's
outside of that.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Now. He's a violent psycho.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
He's been around for a long time, but because he's
outside the forty one eighteen zone, they don't know what
to do with him. And what I'm told is this
year's a great term. He's service resistant because he's psychotic.
(13:53):
So when she talks about getting some of the people
off the street, she's talking about the docile people who
are not severely mentally ill or whose brains are not
completely fried by the drugs they take. But the worst
of the worst are the ones who are left on
the street.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Because the city won't force them.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Into well jail, a mental patient clinic, a drug treatment center.
You have to force them, but no, nearly all the
city council believes that the worst psychos in the city
have civil rights, that they have the right to carry
(14:41):
on with their life and the way they see thick
these are the worst people. She's taking credit for putting
away the easiest people, but the worst people. Their policy
is not to touch them. If they fall outside of
the restricted zone and their service resistant, they get to.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Call the shots.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
And if they want to put up a he's got
a really big self created encampment, and he's got all
kinds of stolen goods, and he's got weapons, and he's
aggressive and violent. I know. So this is the city
we're in where she can go and babble to some
friendly goof who has a podcast, the Daily Beans, and
(15:32):
she can make sound like she's making a change, having
an effect. Actually, the worst ones she's not even touching.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
She thinks they have.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
The civil right to run them up and be insane
because they're not consenting to being moved, because they're insane,
they're not agreeing to service, because they're insane, they're psycho
and violent.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
In other words, the people who most.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Need to be taken off the streets are the ones
least likely to be removed under Karen Bass's policies. Not
that you'd figure that out listening to the Daily Beans.
All right, we'll play you more of this clip and
another one or two when we come back.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
We'ren every day from one until four, and if you
miss anything, go to the Our Heart podcast at four o'clock.
John Cobelt's show on demand, same as the radio show.
We have so much good stuff coming up. Next segment,
we have the audio from the Philadelphia television station that
ran the news story of Paul Bars carrying a casket
(16:46):
and they stepped onto a platform over the grave, and
the platform collapsed and all the pallbearers tumbled into the
grave with the casket, and.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
It's more of a visual thing, but I just want
to hear.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Apparently the anchors are dead serious describing the scene, so
we'll play that coming up, Eric and Ray and I
thought it was hysterically fun.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Of course, you guys, did I.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
I yeah, I just felt I would have flipped out.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I no, But what that I was that I was
in the casket and I.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
No, no, no, Well it would have been a little
tiny casket, so it wouldn't have been as heavy. I
think it's the lead pall bearer. This guy was a
big point.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Fat shame uh.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Nobody's ever used that phrase on our show before the
first one.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Fat shame.
Speaker 8 (17:48):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Michael Mischi's coming on. He's professor at USC the Marshall
School of Business. He's got a new study based on
fifty years of data. The conclusion is that our high
gas prices and supply problems largely self inflicted by the
government a litany of regulations, taxes, fees, costs, and their policies.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
There is.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
No evidence that there's widespread price gouging or profiteering on
the part of the oil companies. So the big lie
Gavin Newsom has been selling for six years is exactly
that the big lie. So we're going to have him
in the right after two o'clock after Deborah's news. All right,
we're in the middle of playing the Daily Beans podcast.
(18:35):
We bring you only the best material here because Karen
bass is on. I don't know who doctor Allison gill is.
I don't know what the Daily Beans mean. But she
was claiming in the last segment that homelessness is tipping down,
and she was bragging about her Inside Safe program. And
I'm telling you, this is a load of crap, because
the most dangerous people are being left behind on the street,
(18:58):
and we ran into one in the past week. Play
more of this.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Clip, Get them house and get them cared for. And
so I launched a program called Insights Safe. I signed
a number of executive directives to cut through the red
tape and get building underway. But you know what, even
with that, you can't build fast enough. So we need
a system of long term interim housing, some place where
(19:24):
individuals can be for a year a year and a
half while a building is being put together.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
So it costs the city almost a million dollars a
year per apartment, almost a million dollars, and the city
is broke. Even with all the new homeless money, it's broke.
So you're never going to have you. We can't build
fast enough, you can't build because all your excessive regulations
and nonsense play some more.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
And so we're working on more cost effective models because
motels are too expensive. But one thing is is that
it is so expensive for people to be on the streets,
aside from the fact that four to five.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Of them don't wake up every morning.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
But the burden that they cause to people who are
housed is just enormous.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
And so why do they keep ah, they're stupid phrases.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
How did they look?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
They never by accident, forget to say housed and unhoused.
The burden they put on people who are housed, as
if we're housed by magic, as if it's an accident,
as if it's pure luck that I am housed and
you are housed. It's got nothing to do with us
getting up in the morning and going to work so
(20:37):
we could earn money to be housed. Or we've had
the good sense not to overindulge with drugs and alcohol
and turn our mind into mush.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Geese.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
And if we have a mental problem, we take our medication. Right,
you take your medication. What are you saying, you'd never
end up homeless. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Okay, I thought maybe you were saying I was mentally ill.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
No, no, no, it was a compliment. If you were
mentally ill, you take your medications.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
I may not if I was mentally ill.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
That's a problem with mentally people. Crazy people don't think
they're crazy, so they won't take they're crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Good thing.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
I'm not crazy, so I don't have to worry about
taking it crazy.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
It's a good thing, all right, Continue with Alison Gill
and the Daily Beans.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
But a burden that they cause to people who are
housed is just enormous. And so this is a humanitarian
crisis that the nation's second largest city has got to solve.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, and you're well, ten years of this we've got
to solve. She's in her third year as mayor. It's
ten years of people being disgusted with homelessness. We've got
to solve. We're looking at other solutions. Well, let's see,
motels don't work. You can't build the apartments, you have
(21:55):
no money for the apartments, you're broke, You're back to
dormitory rooms, or I have an idea, toss them out
of the city, put them in buses, and drive them
out to the desert. Why don't you try that. They
will find their way back. They don't know who they
are where they are out. Play some more.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
Yeah, and you're well on your way, I mean, and
it's going down now for the first time in a
long time, I recall with veteran homelessness under the Obama administration,
I think we were able to cut it in half,
and then it started going up again.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
I can't remember during whose.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Term that was.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
I think it was sometime between twenty sixteen and twenty twenty,
but I'm not quite sure.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
All right, that's right. Trump was throwing veterans into the
street to die. Right, people are in a sick cult.
All right, let's play another clip here, we got time? Yeah, Now,
this is about, Oh, how is Karen Bass cutting through
the red tape for homelessness?
Speaker 7 (22:51):
Tell us how you're cutting through this through the red tape,
and how you're working with other stakeholders to make sure
that this problem DAKE is more easily solved, because, like
you said, so much red tape, so much time. This
has to be done incrementally, and the plan that you've
put together is truly incredible, just in the fact that
it is a step by stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Stop she has to stop and give a Bass a
tongue death every few minutes. Your plan is truly incredible.
It is not truly incredible. She paid a fortune in
our tax money to empty motel owners and stuffed the
(23:33):
homeless in there. That's truly incredible. This is truly incredible.
You know how much this is costing. Karen Bass herself says,
we can't afford this. The city's broke. They just looked
around and saw these dumpy, old, disgusting hotels where drug
addicts and hookers live, and said, all right, I guess,
(23:53):
I guess we could use people's tax money and put
them there for the time being until we run out
of money, which they did.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Play some more.
Speaker 7 (24:02):
Is truly incredible, just in the fact that it is
a step by step process, a real action plan with
real results, right.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
It absolutely is.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
I mean, you were talking about a dysfunctional system that
has creeped along for the last over twenty years, and
so you're not going to correct that in two short years.
But we've certainly made headway. But One of the things
I've discovered along this journey is that there are a
lot of policies that are in place that keep people
on the street. Veterans. For example, if you are a
(24:33):
veteran and you take veterans benefits, we counted that as
your income and then said you made too much money,
so I'm not going to give you a housing voucher.
So last year I took fifty mayors to Washington, d c.
We went to the White House, we went with the
Secretary of Veteran Affairs, and we got that policy change.
We literally have three thousand vouchers in Los Angeles that
(24:57):
veterans can't access until now, and so now we are
going to launch a campaign to get veterans housed by
appealing to landlords to say, do your patriotic duty, and
how's a veteran we have the voucher for you.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Can stop a second.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Do you know who was in Washington during that time
in Congress when her party had the House, the Senate,
and the presidency, they'd be carried bass. It was under
her party that they had this rule which they didn't rescind,
where if you got veterans benefits, it would count towards
your income. How come when she was in Congress and
(25:39):
we were getting swarms of homeless people, some of them veterans,
most of them not notice. Both she and the host
switched to talking about veterans. They don't want to talk
about the psychotic drug addicted mental patients like the one
that was chasing me this week.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
He's not a veteran.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
You don't know that.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
No, I know that this guy was not in a war.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Ah, but they don't talk about that.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
She doesn't talk about how they don't put the psychos
away if the psycho doesn't accept the service. Oh, well,
you're a service resistant. Oh is I mean I get
to stay on the street? You right, play some more? No,
I guess we can't play somewhere right.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
We have the voucher for you, We have the venture
that's well, amazing work from your office on this and
I look forward to it continuing.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Wow, a couple of tongue licks right there at the end. Huh,
amazing work. It's amazing work. Who is this doctor, Allison Gill?
I got to look her up. She's easily impressed. Daily
beans were like the daily fart.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (26:56):

Colt Show After two o'clock. Michael Mishi, professor at USC

We'll talk to Michael Mishi. Coming up after two o'clock.
By the way, the host of that irritating podcast we
just played with Karen Bass, doctor Alison Gill. I just
looked her up on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
You're not going to tell me what she looks like,
are you?
Speaker 7 (27:37):
No?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Okay, I'm going to tell you what her pronouns are.
She her, She's one of those annoying people that puts
their pronouns on the top of their Twitter.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Actually, she's got a good looking.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Oh really yeah, she's hot, Yeah really.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Yeah, she has she her and blm, there's no date there. Boy,
that's not a funny evening. Hi, I'm Allison.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
She her.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Some people like that.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Have you ever given your pronouns? Tall?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Anybody ever asked, No, it's kind of obvious, is it. Yeah,
if anybody's a she heards you. All right, Now we're
going to play, uh, my favorite video of the year.
This is from Philadelphia TV wpv I. There is a
(28:35):
family of pallbearers carrying a large casket into a grave.
You know how there's a platform on top of the
grave and they usually do a little ceremony. Well, as
they walked onto the platform, it was made of wood.
It collapsed and the casket and all the pallbearers went
tumbling into the grave. Listened to the grave demeanor of
(28:56):
the anchors introducing this story.
Speaker 10 (28:57):
Here with a funeral burial going terribly along a greathing
family is speaking out today after Paul Bears fell into
the grave while carrying the casket of their loved one
in North Philadelphia.
Speaker 8 (29:08):
The platform above the burial site collapsed right.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
From under their feet.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
Action news reporter Chappardelli joins US Now Live from North
Philadelphia with further details.
Speaker 9 (29:18):
Chat.
Speaker 11 (29:19):
Yeah, this scary incident happened Friday here at Greenmount Cemetery.
The family wants to know why it happened, whether it
could have been prevented, and they also want an apology,
and it was all captured on video.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Short steps, the pall.
Speaker 11 (29:31):
Bearers carried Benjamin of Elis to his final resting spot.
As they began to lay down the casket, the platform
above the burial site collapsed, sending the men plunging into
the burial hole.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
It was just a horrible incident that happened in a
bad moment.
Speaker 11 (29:48):
Of Elis's stepdaughter, Marabel Rodriguez, says, the men who fell
into the hole all suffered injuries, mostly to their legs, hands,
and back. Of Elis's son suffered the worst of it.
Speaker 9 (29:58):
The casket laid on top with him and he was
out like a light. His face was in the mud.
Speaker 11 (30:04):
She and her family blamed Greenmount Cemetery and the Rodriguez
Funeral Home for what she calls subpar conditions for a burial.
Marabell Rodriguez says no relation to the funeral home.
Speaker 9 (30:15):
The whole thing was trembling. It was like wobbly, It
was unstable. It was all wet and soaked.
Speaker 11 (30:20):
Both the funeral home and cemetery had no comment to
Action News today. Some boards and broken wood can be
seen at the burial plot, but a Velis is finally
late to rest.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
I think that they should apologize. I think that there
should be some v embursement involved, being that the ceremony
was interrupted, nothing was done properly.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
And the family tells me none of the injuries is
considered serious and all are expected to be.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Okay, you notice they played the video again with the
people screaming in the background.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
What did you expect the anchor to say, we have
a funny story to tell you.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I can't explain myself.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
You guys, all you, Ray and Eric are all insensitive too.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Don't leave vout sent it to us, you guys.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
I mean I was thinking of the story. I just
didn't laugh at it.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
He didn't, not even a little bit, because you laugh
at some cruel stuff.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Yes, but this this for whatever reason, I.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Okay, all right, all right, So okay, you have a heart.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
I do.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
So, you guys do not. I'm the only one.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
You're the only one. All right.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
When we come back, we're going to have Michael Michigan.
He's a professor at USC Marshall Business School. Yes, his study,
Uh it really tells you the obvious reason we have
guy high gas prices here in California. Uh, it's the
government's fault regulations, taxes, fees, costs. It's largely self inflicted.
(31:57):
He says there has been no whites read price gouging
or profiteering from the oil companies. Everything Gavin Newsom has
been selling for many years is total nonsense. A complete
