1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Welcome, Hello.

4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 2: How are you follow us at John Cobelt Radio on

00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 2: social media at John Cobelt Radio on social media. Listen

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 2: to us every day here on KFI from one to

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: four o'clock and then after four o'clock if you've missed

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: part of the show, the whole show, it's on the

9
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: iHeart app John Cobelt Show on demand. It's the podcast.

10
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: It's the same as the radio show. So that's how

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: you can keep track of all that's going on two

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: o'clock hour. I'm telling you right now two o'clock you

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: want to be listening to the show where you want

14
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: to remember to pick it up on the podcast. Later,

15
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: we are going to have a USC professor Michael Micheon.

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: He is from the Marshall School of Business at USC.

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: He has done a study on why gas prices in

18
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: California have been so high for the last fifty years.

19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: And I know why, and you know why.

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: It's obvious, but our lying governor Gavin Newsom keeps insisting

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: that the oil companies are manipulating the price, price gouging

22
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: and all the rest of that nonsense. He's had various commissions.

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: I think he even held a special session of the legislature,

24
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: and he tries to pound that propaganda, that big lie

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 2: to everyone's head, and the idiot democrats in the legislature

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: repeat the lie. The media amplifies the lie. It's always

27
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: been a lie. And I'm just going to give you

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 2: two lines for Michael Michi's report and we're going to

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: have them on after two o'clock.

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: Listen to this.

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: Based on thirty to fifty years of data, the primary

32
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: conclusion is that California's high gasoline prices and supply dilemmas

33
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: are largely self inflicted and the result of directed policies

34
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: and a litany of regulations, taxes, fees, and costs. That's

35
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: what the study says. The economic evidence is abundant. California

36
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: refiners have not engaged in widespread price gouging, profiteering, price manipulation,

37
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: unexplained residual prices, or surcharges magical or otherwise. In other words,

38
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: there seems to be no truth to all the charges

39
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 2: that the oil companies, the gas refineries have been builking us,

40
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: gouging us, stealing from US, none. Mischi's study found it's

41
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: entirely from directed policies, regulations, taxes, fees, costs that the

42
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: state imposes. This is the truth, and that's why I'll

43
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: check again in a few minutes. But as of yesterday,

44
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: we were paying four dollars and ninety five cents for

45
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: a gallon of gas, and in South Carolina they're paying

46
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: two dollars and seventy five cents. And there's about forty

47
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: three states that are paying three and a quarter or less,

48
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: and we're at four ninety five, by far the highest.

49
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: It's because of our government. The government is created an

50
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: obscene cost for us just to fill our gas tank,

51
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: obscene to no benefit, at least no benefit to us.

52
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: And there's one thing, and it seems like everyone in

53
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: the other forty nine states are figuring this out, is

54
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: that the government does not provide much benefit to the

55
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: average person outside of redirecting money, for example, Social Security

56
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: payments or Medicare payments. They can do the transfer payment

57
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: pretty well, but as far as creating programs or schemes

58
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: to further their agenda, it almost never helps us. You know,

59
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: they no longer do the basics of government. We have

60
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: half a fire department. We have a defunded police department.

61
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 2: The roads, Oh my god, a story about the roads

62
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 2: in my neighborhood just happened this week. All the basics s.

63
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: They don't even bother funding anymore. The transfer payments kind

64
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: of work on their own. You know, you turn sixty five,

65
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: you fill out the paperwork and you can get Social

66
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: Security benefits. Not really a big deal, no magic there.

67
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 2: But when they come up with these whack job green

68
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: energy programs, which has been plaguing the state for almost

69
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: twenty years now, going back to that idiot Schwarzeneger, all

70
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: it's done is cost us a ton of money. So

71
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to having Michael Micheon from you.

72
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: Now.

73
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: Speaking of idiots running government, Eric found that La Mayor

74
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: Karen Bass has shown up on a podcast something called

75
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: The Daily Beans. The hell is this? The Daily Beans

76
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: with doctor Allison Gill and Mass is a great example,

77
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 2: along with Newsom, of just pure absolute incompetence. And I

78
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: don't even think she knows how incompetent she is. That's

79
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: a key when you have these sociopathic and competent boobs,

80
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 2: they don't have self awareness. In the aftermath of the fire.

81
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: We told you a couple of weeks ago that were

82
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 2: only four rebuilding permits approved four and she's claims she's

83
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: fast tracking permits if you'll promise to use only electrical appliances,

84
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: which is more heck had a bad sneeze, thank you, uh,

85
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 2: which is more.

86
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: Green energy nonsense. I it's a free country.

87
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: We should be able to use gas appliance as we want,

88
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 2: electrical appliances whatever is on the market and legal, uh

89
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 2: and and and from what I have, I've too many

90
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: friends who lost their homes or too many friends who've

91
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: been smoked out of their homes. And so I've heard

92
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: all the inside stories, the UH, the the the purbating process,

93
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: the red tape process is as bad as it ever was.

94
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: It's as bad as you could imagine with Karen Bass

95
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: and Gavin Newsom running things. So despite all their propaganda

96
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 2: and all their feel good messaging, I will say Bass

97
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: uh had an announcement this week that the cleanup is

98
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: is record breaking. And I didn't know they kept records.

99
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how many towns were completely burned down

100
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: in a fire, but she claims record breaking cleanup and

101
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: at least though she went on to credit the Trump

102
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: administration because it is the federal government that's doing the cleanup.

103
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: It's FEMA directed, So she's had nothing to do with

104
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: cleaning up the either the debris on the properties or

105
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: the contemidated toxic dirt. The toxic dirt which is much

106
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: of the operation right now, and some of the degree,

107
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: that's all been hauled off, if not by private carriers,

108
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: mostly the federal government FEMA. But at least she admitted that.

109
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: On the first time I heard her prattling about this

110
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, she made it sound like,

111
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: you know, under her reign, under her direction, we've had

112
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: record breaking speed for the recovery effort. Well, no, it's

113
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: federal government actually doing it properly. All right, come back.

114
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what the Daily Beans podcast is about,

115
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: or doctor Allison Gill, but Bass we have a few

116
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: clips and she talks about homelessness, you know, her Inside

117
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: Safe program, which has been wildly overhyped and exaggerated and

118
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: is extremely expensive and is running out of money because

119
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: the city's bankrupt. She talks about that. We'll come back,

120
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: We'll play some of it and see how much nonsense

121
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: is in this podcast.

122
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I

123
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: am six forty.

124
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need a moment to compose myself of the funs.

125
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: What did I miss?

126
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: Well, it's online.

127
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: There's a news story about funeral and they showed all

128
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: the pall bearers carrying the heavy caskets.

129
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: You saw, yes, I did.

130
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 5: I meant to send it to you, and the platform

131
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 5: they were walking on collapsed and they all fell into

132
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 5: the grave, all the pall bearers and the casket and

133
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 5: the dead body.

134
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: Everybody ended up in the.

135
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 4: I didn't find it. You didn't laugh, No, I thought, no,

136
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 4: I did it. I thought it was awful.

137
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 2: John.

138
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 4: If it was one of your family members, how would

139
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 4: you feel it wasn't so it doesn't matter.

140
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: But it's other people. It's yeah, No, I felt bad actually.

141
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: Knowing my brother, we probably both would burst out laughing. Wow,

142
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: that is just that's one of a kind. I've never

143
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: seen that before. And the TV station has a graphic

144
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: casket catastrophe.

145
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 6: That's a great graphic. I knew you would bust up

146
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 6: over there. You're so predictable.

147
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: Well, I just watched it just a few seconds before

148
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: we went back on the air.

149
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 4: It's so funny. I had such a different reaction.

150
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: You're a girl. Girls are no fun No.

151
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 6: I think we just we're deeper and we think about

152
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 6: we think about, oh my god, what if that was

153
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 6: one of our families.

154
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: But it wasn't. It was somebody.

155
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: Oh the lead Paul Barry. He was a big guy,

156
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 2: and he went down first in fat. You know, he

157
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 2: was like a three hundred pounder at least, so he

158
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: probably collapsed the platform and then he was holding the

159
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: casket behind him, so that casket probably came right down

160
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: on top of him. Well, anyway, in other news, by

161
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: the way, Ken sent.

162
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 4: Me the story he did, Oh that's funny.

163
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: Because that's the main way we communicate is over over

164
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: death stories.

165
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: All right, that was I doing? Oh yes, yes.

166
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 2: We have Karen Bass appearing on a podcast called The

167
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: Daily Beans with somebody named doctor Allison Gill and she

168
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: talks about homelessness here and because you know the Insight

169
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: Safe program where she stuffed some of the homeless people

170
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: into dilapidated motels, it's very expensive, even a rent out

171
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: a dilapidated motel that costs a lot of money.

172
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: So let's listen to this cut.

173
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 7: Number one homelessness in general. Give us the picture of

174
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 7: what's going on in Los Angeles.

175
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 8: Well, absolutely, Anne, I want to talk specifically about veterans homeless,

176
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 8: because much good news there. Let me just say that

177
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 8: for the first time in years, homelessness has been escalating,

178
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 8: and finally we see it tipping down, and especially street homelessness, where.

179
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 2: Weave a second tipping down that means a slight statistical decrease,

180
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: assuming they're honest and assuming they're competent accounting the homeless bodies,

181
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: slight tipping down, and at the rate it's tipping down,

182
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: it's going to take probably to the year twenty forty

183
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 2: five to zero. Well, except by then another generation of

184
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: homeless people who have moved in continue.

185
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 8: Them, especially street homelessness, where we've had a ten percent

186
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 8: reduction in the city of Los Angeles. We have so

187
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 8: much more to do because the system is profoundly broken.

188
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 8: But the mandate I felt from Angelino's coming into office

189
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 8: was get the people off the street and into housing.

190
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 8: Don't just move them a few blocks away so I

191
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 8: can't see them. Get them house and get them cared for.

192
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: Stop this one. Stop it.

193
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 2: Yesterday I told you the story of the homeless guy

194
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 2: we're dealing with not far from my house on Sanma

195
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: Sente Boulevard.

196
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: And he's psychotic.

197
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: As I told you yesterday, he chased my wife and

198
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 2: I down the street. We were in a car. We

199
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: stopped to take a picture of him. He went nuts.

200
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: He ran across two lanes of traffic, across a median.

201
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: He had a big heavy stick or a pipe in

202
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: his hand, and he made a left and he was

203
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: chasing us down the road.

204
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: Now I did some fo.

205
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: This guy is a well known neighborhood psycho and apparently

206
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: falls outside of the zone where the city can force

207
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: him to move.

208
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember.

209
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: A few years ago, they passed some law and it

210
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: was known as forty one eighteen. That was the municipal

211
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: code and if you were within I forget five hundred

212
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: feet of a school or a daycare center, the homeless

213
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: people could be forced away. But where he is, he's

214
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: outside of that.

215
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: Now. He's a violent psycho.

216
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 2: He's been around for a long time, but because he's

217
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 2: outside the forty one eighteen zone, they don't know what

218
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: to do with him. And what I'm told is this

219
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: year's a great term. He's service resistant because he's psychotic.

220
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: So when she talks about getting some of the people

221
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: off the street, she's talking about the docile people who

222
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: are not severely mentally ill or whose brains are not

223
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: completely fried by the drugs they take. But the worst

224
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: of the worst are the ones who are left on

225
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 2: the street.

226
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: Because the city won't force them.

227
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: Into well jail, a mental patient clinic, a drug treatment center.

228
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: You have to force them, but no, nearly all the

229
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: city council believes that the worst psychos in the city

230
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: have civil rights, that they have the right to carry

231
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: on with their life and the way they see thick

232
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: these are the worst people. She's taking credit for putting

233
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:53,239
Speaker 2: away the easiest people, but the worst people. Their policy

234
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: is not to touch them. If they fall outside of

235
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: the restricted zone and their service resistant, they get to.

236
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: Call the shots.

237
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: And if they want to put up a he's got

238
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: a really big self created encampment, and he's got all

239
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: kinds of stolen goods, and he's got weapons, and he's

240
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: aggressive and violent. I know. So this is the city

241
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: we're in where she can go and babble to some

242
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: friendly goof who has a podcast, the Daily Beans, and

243
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: she can make sound like she's making a change, having

244
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: an effect. Actually, the worst ones she's not even touching.

245
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: She thinks they have.

246
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: The civil right to run them up and be insane

247
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: because they're not consenting to being moved, because they're insane,

248
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: they're not agreeing to service, because they're insane, they're psycho

249
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: and violent.

250
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,359
Speaker 1: In other words, the people who most.

251
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 2: Need to be taken off the streets are the ones

252
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: least likely to be removed under Karen Bass's policies. Not

253
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: that you'd figure that out listening to the Daily Beans.

254
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: All right, we'll play you more of this clip and

255
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: another one or two when we come back.

256
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

257
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: six forty.

258
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: We'ren every day from one until four, and if you

259
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: miss anything, go to the Our Heart podcast at four o'clock.

260
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: John Cobelt's show on demand, same as the radio show.

261
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: We have so much good stuff coming up. Next segment,

262
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: we have the audio from the Philadelphia television station that

263
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: ran the news story of Paul Bars carrying a casket

264
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: and they stepped onto a platform over the grave, and

265
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: the platform collapsed and all the pallbearers tumbled into the

266
00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: grave with the casket, and.

267
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: It's more of a visual thing, but I just want

268
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: to hear.

269
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 2: Apparently the anchors are dead serious describing the scene, so

270
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: we'll play that coming up, Eric and Ray and I

271
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: thought it was hysterically fun.

272
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 4: Of course, you guys, did I.

273
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 6: I yeah, I just felt I would have flipped out.

274
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 4: I no, But what that I was that I was

275
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 4: in the casket and I.

276
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 2: No, no, no, Well it would have been a little

277
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: tiny casket, so it wouldn't have been as heavy. I

278
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 2: think it's the lead pall bearer. This guy was a

279
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: big point.

280
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 4: Fat shame uh.

281
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: Nobody's ever used that phrase on our show before the

282
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: first one.

283
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: Fat shame.

284
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 8: Uh.

285
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: Michael Mischi's coming on. He's professor at USC the Marshall

286
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 2: School of Business. He's got a new study based on

287
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: fifty years of data. The conclusion is that our high

288
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: gas prices and supply problems largely self inflicted by the

289
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 2: government a litany of regulations, taxes, fees, costs, and their policies.

290
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: There is.

291
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 2: No evidence that there's widespread price gouging or profiteering on

292
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 2: the part of the oil companies. So the big lie

293
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom has been selling for six years is exactly

294
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 2: that the big lie. So we're going to have him

295
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,239
Speaker 2: in the right after two o'clock after Deborah's news. All right,

296
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 2: we're in the middle of playing the Daily Beans podcast.

297
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: We bring you only the best material here because Karen

298
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: bass is on. I don't know who doctor Allison gill is.

299
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: I don't know what the Daily Beans mean. But she

300
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: was claiming in the last segment that homelessness is tipping down,

301
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 2: and she was bragging about her Inside Safe program. And

302
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, this is a load of crap, because

303
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: the most dangerous people are being left behind on the street,

304
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: and we ran into one in the past week. Play

305
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 2: more of this.

306
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 8: Clip, Get them house and get them cared for. And

307
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 8: so I launched a program called Insights Safe. I signed

308
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 8: a number of executive directives to cut through the red

309
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 8: tape and get building underway. But you know what, even

310
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 8: with that, you can't build fast enough. So we need

311
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 8: a system of long term interim housing, some place where

312
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 8: individuals can be for a year a year and a

313
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 8: half while a building is being put together.

314
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 2: So it costs the city almost a million dollars a

315
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: year per apartment, almost a million dollars, and the city

316
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 2: is broke. Even with all the new homeless money, it's broke.

317
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 2: So you're never going to have you. We can't build

318
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 2: fast enough, you can't build because all your excessive regulations

319
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 2: and nonsense play some more.

320
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 8: And so we're working on more cost effective models because

321
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 8: motels are too expensive. But one thing is is that

322
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 8: it is so expensive for people to be on the streets,

323
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 8: aside from the fact that four to five.

324
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 4: Of them don't wake up every morning.

325
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 8: But the burden that they cause to people who are

326
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 8: housed is just enormous.

327
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: And so why do they keep ah, they're stupid phrases.

328
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: How did they look?

329
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: They never by accident, forget to say housed and unhoused.

330
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 2: The burden they put on people who are housed, as

331
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 2: if we're housed by magic, as if it's an accident,

332
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: as if it's pure luck that I am housed and

333
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 2: you are housed. It's got nothing to do with us

334
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,479
Speaker 2: getting up in the morning and going to work so

335
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 2: we could earn money to be housed. Or we've had

336
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 2: the good sense not to overindulge with drugs and alcohol

337
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 2: and turn our mind into mush.

338
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: Geese.

339
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: And if we have a mental problem, we take our medication. Right,

340
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: you take your medication. What are you saying, you'd never

341
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: end up homeless. That's what I'm saying.

342
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 4: Okay, I thought maybe you were saying I was mentally ill.

343
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 2: No, no, no, it was a compliment. If you were

344
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: mentally ill, you take your medications.

345
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 4: I may not if I was mentally ill.

346
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: That's true.

347
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: That's a problem with mentally people. Crazy people don't think

348
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: they're crazy, so they won't take they're crazy.

349
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: Good thing.

350
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 6: I'm not crazy, so I don't have to worry about

351
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 6: taking it crazy.

352
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: It's a good thing, all right, Continue with Alison Gill

353
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: and the Daily Beans.

354
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 8: But a burden that they cause to people who are

355
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 8: housed is just enormous. And so this is a humanitarian

356
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 8: crisis that the nation's second largest city has got to solve.

357
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're well, ten years of this we've got

358
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: to solve. She's in her third year as mayor. It's

359
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: ten years of people being disgusted with homelessness. We've got

360
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: to solve. We're looking at other solutions. Well, let's see,

361
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: motels don't work. You can't build the apartments, you have

362
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 2: no money for the apartments, you're broke, You're back to

363
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: dormitory rooms, or I have an idea, toss them out

364
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 2: of the city, put them in buses, and drive them

365
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 2: out to the desert. Why don't you try that. They

366
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: will find their way back. They don't know who they

367
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: are where they are out. Play some more.

368
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you're well on your way, I mean, and

369
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 7: it's going down now for the first time in a

370
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 7: long time, I recall with veteran homelessness under the Obama administration,

371
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 7: I think we were able to cut it in half,

372
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 7: and then it started going up again.

373
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 8: I can't remember during whose.

374
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: Term that was.

375
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 7: I think it was sometime between twenty sixteen and twenty twenty,

376
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 7: but I'm not quite sure.

377
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: All right, that's right. Trump was throwing veterans into the

378
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 2: street to die. Right, people are in a sick cult.

379
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: All right, let's play another clip here, we got time? Yeah, Now,

380
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: this is about, Oh, how is Karen Bass cutting through

381
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: the red tape for homelessness?

382
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 7: Tell us how you're cutting through this through the red tape,

383
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 7: and how you're working with other stakeholders to make sure

384
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 7: that this problem DAKE is more easily solved, because, like

385
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 7: you said, so much red tape, so much time. This

386
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 7: has to be done incrementally, and the plan that you've

387
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,479
Speaker 7: put together is truly incredible, just in the fact that

388
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 7: it is a step by stuff.

389
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 2: Stop she has to stop and give a Bass a

390
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 2: tongue death every few minutes. Your plan is truly incredible.

391
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 2: It is not truly incredible. She paid a fortune in

392
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 2: our tax money to empty motel owners and stuffed the

393
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: homeless in there. That's truly incredible. This is truly incredible.

394
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 2: You know how much this is costing. Karen Bass herself says,

395
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 2: we can't afford this. The city's broke. They just looked

396
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: around and saw these dumpy, old, disgusting hotels where drug

397
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: addicts and hookers live, and said, all right, I guess,

398
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: I guess we could use people's tax money and put

399
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 2: them there for the time being until we run out

400
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 2: of money, which they did.

401
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: Play some more.

402
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 7: Is truly incredible, just in the fact that it is

403
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 7: a step by step process, a real action plan with

404
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 7: real results, right.

405
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: It absolutely is.

406
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 8: I mean, you were talking about a dysfunctional system that

407
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 8: has creeped along for the last over twenty years, and

408
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 8: so you're not going to correct that in two short years.

409
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 8: But we've certainly made headway. But One of the things

410
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 8: I've discovered along this journey is that there are a

411
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 8: lot of policies that are in place that keep people

412
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 8: on the street. Veterans. For example, if you are a

413
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 8: veteran and you take veterans benefits, we counted that as

414
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 8: your income and then said you made too much money,

415
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 8: so I'm not going to give you a housing voucher.

416
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 8: So last year I took fifty mayors to Washington, d c.

417
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 8: We went to the White House, we went with the

418
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 8: Secretary of Veteran Affairs, and we got that policy change.

419
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 8: We literally have three thousand vouchers in Los Angeles that

420
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 8: veterans can't access until now, and so now we are

421
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 8: going to launch a campaign to get veterans housed by

422
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 8: appealing to landlords to say, do your patriotic duty, and

423
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 8: how's a veteran we have the voucher for you.

424
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: Can stop a second.

425
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: Do you know who was in Washington during that time

426
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: in Congress when her party had the House, the Senate,

427
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: and the presidency, they'd be carried bass. It was under

428
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 2: her party that they had this rule which they didn't rescind,

429
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: where if you got veterans benefits, it would count towards

430
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 2: your income. How come when she was in Congress and

431
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 2: we were getting swarms of homeless people, some of them veterans,

432
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 2: most of them not notice. Both she and the host

433
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: switched to talking about veterans. They don't want to talk

434
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: about the psychotic drug addicted mental patients like the one

435
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 2: that was chasing me this week.

436
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: He's not a veteran.

437
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 4: You don't know that.

438
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 2: No, I know that this guy was not in a war.

439
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: Ah, but they don't talk about that.

440
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 2: She doesn't talk about how they don't put the psychos

441
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: away if the psycho doesn't accept the service. Oh, well,

442
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: you're a service resistant. Oh is I mean I get

443
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: to stay on the street? You right, play some more? No,

444
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 2: I guess we can't play somewhere right.

445
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 7: We have the voucher for you, We have the venture

446
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 7: that's well, amazing work from your office on this and

447
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 7: I look forward to it continuing.

448
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 2: Wow, a couple of tongue licks right there at the end. Huh,

449
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 2: amazing work. It's amazing work. Who is this doctor, Allison Gill?

450
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 2: I got to look her up. She's easily impressed. Daily

451
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: beans were like the daily fart.

456
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 2: over the last fifty years, the reason California has such

457
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: high gas prices largely self inflicted, and California refiners have

Speaker 2: just played with Karen Bass, doctor Alison Gill. I just

462
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: looked her up on Twitter.

463
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 4: You're not going to tell me what she looks like,

464
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 4: are you?

465
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:37,439

00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,800

467
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 2: She her, She's one of those annoying people that puts

468
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,959
Speaker 2: their pronouns on the top of their Twitter.

469
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: Actually, she's got a good looking.

470

521
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 9: I think that they should apologize. I think that there

522
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 9: should be some v embursement involved, being that the ceremony

523
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 9: was interrupted, nothing was done properly.

524
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 11: And the family tells me none of the injuries is

525
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,560
