1:34
Speaker 5: I just heard there was tectic difficulties, which like, I
1:36
Speaker 5: don't think I've ever met a republican tech guy, so
1:39
Speaker 5: they hate him or it's really dumb people doing tech.
1:42
Speaker 1: I'm just saying.
1:43
Speaker 6: I just I know smash Mouth would have they loved
1:46
Speaker 6: being opportunistic, just as a band. And then, yeah, they
1:48
Speaker 6: would have loved to have been there. It makes me
1:52
Speaker 6: sad get Rocks got to be there.
1:54
Speaker 5: I'm assuming it's smash Mouth republican.
1:57
Speaker 6: No, but they just loved being opportunistic. They love the
2:00
Speaker 6: opportunity to promote smash Mouth and be in the news
2:02
Speaker 6: as smash Mouth.
2:04
Speaker 3: That's true.
2:04
Speaker 5: I've been on stage with smash Mouth twice. That shouldn't happen.
2:08
Speaker 5: They're everywhere.
2:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, that should be the ad.
2:10
Speaker 6: That easy to say, and you shouldn't say it to
2:14
Speaker 6: me because now I'm jealous, don't be.
2:18
Speaker 2: So this episode is about the biggest conspiracy theories of
2:23
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. We just started a new year. We're
2:27
Speaker 2: coasting back into work, so we're, you know, reflecting on
2:32
Speaker 2: the past twelve months and how great they were.
2:35
Speaker 6: And what do you do with the first couple of
2:37
Speaker 6: days of work at a new year, all this shit
2:39
Speaker 6: that you put off from last year where you said
2:40
Speaker 6: this is a twenty twenty five problem. Well, fucker, it's
2:43
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five now, and we got to name the
2:45
Speaker 6: biggest conspiracy theories of the year or something.
2:47
Speaker 5: We sure, we gotta, we gotta.
2:49
Speaker 3: Can I have a quick question?
2:51
Speaker 5: No, what the fuck is the AI companion on Zoom?
2:58
Speaker 3: Like? What does that new button do? I'm scared of
3:01
Speaker 3: what is that for?
3:02
Speaker 2: I don't know, I've never used it?
3:04
Speaker 1: And twinkles like the little seasoning.
3:07
Speaker 5: Why are they co opting stars?
3:09
Speaker 2: Like?
3:09
Speaker 3: I don't like that either?
3:11
Speaker 1: AI not to associate this with my dreams. I mean,
3:15
Speaker 1: I don't those.
3:16
Speaker 2: There's an AI button inside Google docs now it's everywhere.
3:19
Speaker 5: What is it?
3:20
Speaker 3: Is it just Clippy?
3:21
Speaker 2: I don't know.
3:22
Speaker 6: Like they should bring back Clippy two point nWo. Like, fucker,
3:27
Speaker 6: I'm pretty.
3:27
Speaker 1: Smart now, huh.
3:29
Speaker 3: The AI logo should be a paper clip.
3:31
Speaker 1: It should be because it was. That was what that
3:34
Speaker 1: was the.
3:34
Speaker 3: First AI assistant. That's really what it is is just
3:37
Speaker 3: Clippy pro.
3:38
Speaker 2: Clippy open Pandora's box.
3:41
Speaker 6: We like Clippy, like, like, he's not just a series
3:44
Speaker 6: of like float charts anymore.
3:46
Speaker 1: He's gained a sentience job.
3:49
Speaker 2: Clippy.
3:51
Speaker 6: Well, it's not as much of a scumbag as his
3:53
Speaker 6: cousin Clappy.
3:55
Speaker 3: Ah, poor Clappy with.
3:58
Speaker 1: This fucked up dick. Yeah, sorry, Adam.
4:01
Speaker 2: So the first conspiracy, this was a big one. Trump's
4:06
Speaker 2: assassination attempt was staged aka blue anon. They took to
4:12
Speaker 2: calling this just because.
4:14
Speaker 1: Things rhyme and like doesn't mean they.
4:16
Speaker 6: Work, or just because you make a pint of something
4:19
Speaker 6: like everything is not fuck dousel Gates. We got to
4:23
Speaker 6: stop doing this as a culture. We don't deserve these
4:26
Speaker 6: readily combined terms that were throwing about with so errantly.
4:32
Speaker 2: They're such wildly different theories. Even if you get every
4:37
Speaker 2: Democrat to believe Trump faked this assassination attempt, you're not
4:42
Speaker 2: going to get them to take to the streets and
4:45
Speaker 2: start hanging Democrats for producing adrenochrome using children's pituitary glands
4:51
Speaker 2: or whatever.
4:52
Speaker 1: Because those pussies don't have guns. Yeah that too, Well,
4:56
Speaker 1: you're gonna give it. Get out your fucking bow and
4:58
Speaker 1: arrow and your machete. I don't even have. They don't
5:01
Speaker 1: even have those kind of redneck toys.
5:04
Speaker 5: I think I know exactly what happened honestly with Trump. Yeah,
5:08
Speaker 5: I think he like just like fell down.
5:10
Speaker 2: You think he fell down.
5:12
Speaker 3: What do you mean fell down?
5:13
Speaker 5: And like we all just like didn't see it right
5:16
Speaker 5: and he just fell down.
5:17
Speaker 1: He just had like a lucky trip.
5:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, he like fell down with boom, you know.
5:21
Speaker 2: I mean. One of the theories out there is that
5:26
Speaker 2: he didn't actually get hit by a bullet, it was
5:29
Speaker 2: glass fragment, And I don't know, does that make getting
5:33
Speaker 2: shot at any less fucking heroin?
5:36
Speaker 3: I also think, yeah, like what.
5:39
Speaker 6: Or the injury any lesson significant? It's like my ear
5:42
Speaker 6: grid cut by a piece of glass or the tiniest
5:44
Speaker 6: side of a bullet, Like, okay, whatever.
5:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it doesn't change the fact that there's someone
5:50
Speaker 2: shooting at you.
5:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, shooting glass is more frightening.
5:53
Speaker 6: Perhaps somebody who looked like he's wearing the outfit you
5:56
Speaker 6: wear when when you're like I want to get the
5:59
Speaker 6: most amount of my money's worth at the strip club
6:02
Speaker 6: with this these really see through sweatpants that are very.
6:06
Speaker 1: You know, he was wearing like that outfit.
6:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, he wasn't dressed for the job he wanted, that's
6:12
Speaker 2: for sure.
6:13
Speaker 1: No, this was not the most tactical get up.
6:16
Speaker 2: So one of the more common theories again was that
6:19
Speaker 2: this was stage and I find that hard to believe,
6:24
Speaker 2: mostly just from a logistical standpoint. I wouldn't put it
6:29
Speaker 2: past any president to pull a stunt like this. I
6:32
Speaker 2: think Trump is a good enough actor to act in
6:36
Speaker 2: a scenario like this. I say all the time, our
6:38
Speaker 2: only president to take a stone cold stunter at a WWE.
6:42
Speaker 1: Event pretty well too true. He sold it.
6:46
Speaker 2: He took it really vincingly. So yeah, I don't doubt
6:50
Speaker 2: that he would have the ability. It's just the logistics
6:54
Speaker 2: of it all. Are we arguing that the shooter was
6:58
Speaker 2: firing blanks because someone in the crowd definitely got shot
7:03
Speaker 2: and killed in front of their family, So who did that?
7:06
Speaker 2: Was like part of the plan to just like literally
7:09
Speaker 2: shoot a random crowd member.
7:10
Speaker 6: And also, like, I don't know, I work in TV.
7:12
Speaker 6: When did they switch in the fake exploding teleprompter? The
7:16
Speaker 6: teleprompter guy is one of the most anal, annoying dudes
7:20
Speaker 6: in all of Union television. Bullshit that you can't fuck
7:24
Speaker 6: with the teleprompter guyer is saying he has been there
7:26
Speaker 6: since five in the morning and he already hates you.
7:29
Speaker 6: There's no way you're gonna sneak in some exploding rig.
7:32
Speaker 6: It's not happening.
7:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, and yeah, like if it was staged and you
7:37
Speaker 2: had someone up there fire in real bullets, that feels risky.
7:40
Speaker 2: That feels like it could go sideways.
7:42
Speaker 6: Even for like a guy that actually knew what he
7:44
Speaker 6: was doing, even Lee Harry Allswald had been to a
7:46
Speaker 6: gun range a few times.
7:47
Speaker 1: Padam we know this?
7:49
Speaker 2: Yeah?
7:49
Speaker 5: I just feel like if anyone thinks that anything isn't
7:52
Speaker 5: staged by anything that happens in the government at all,
7:57
Speaker 5: like what do you think of it?
7:58
Speaker 3: Like, I feel like everything is staged at this point.
8:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's more it's easier to just like go find
8:03
Speaker 6: the stuff that just like, oh that just happened naturally.
8:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, it would be more likely that everything is staged.
8:10
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think it's likely that everything is
8:13
Speaker 2: staged any more than I think it's likely that nothing
8:17
Speaker 2: is staged.
8:18
Speaker 3: Wow.
8:19
Speaker 4: Pandora's box of stage the stage by stage basis probably
8:23
Speaker 4: just a healthy mix because there's some things that happened
8:27
Speaker 4: that a government is going to take advantage of, but
8:31
Speaker 4: it doesn't mean they did it.
8:33
Speaker 2: I think COVID is a good example, unless you're arguing
8:36
Speaker 2: that like the government made COVID, but which government. Well,
8:41
Speaker 2: that's the thing like all government advantage of COVID because
8:46
Speaker 2: it was just such a nice opportunity to crack down
8:49
Speaker 2: on people's movements a little bit more, especially the contact tracing. Shit,
8:55
Speaker 2: I'm sure the government turned that off after COVID was over.
8:58
Speaker 2: They're not still on your phones.
9:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, I forgot that was a thing.
9:02
Speaker 2: Did either of you sign up for it? I did not.
9:04
Speaker 3: I don't think so.
9:06
Speaker 1: No, I never signed Adam, come on, yeah.
9:07
Speaker 4: No, no way, baby, sign up for something I already
9:12
Speaker 4: before COVID wasn't leaving the house.
9:14
Speaker 2: Enough need to be updated as to where the people
9:17
Speaker 2: I came in contact with have been.
9:19
Speaker 6: And I don't commit crimes, but I always reserve space
9:22
Speaker 6: to commit crimes if the need arise.
9:25
Speaker 3: That's a good perspective.
9:26
Speaker 6: This is not a part of my crime committing possible lifestyle.
9:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are the guardrails we still need in place,
9:34
Speaker 2: the ones that make it so you can commit a
9:36
Speaker 2: crime if you want to. The smartphone data thing that
9:39
Speaker 2: makes it so hard. That's not cool.
9:41
Speaker 1: That's pretty fucked up. Yeah, what if so we needed
9:43
Speaker 1: to commit a crime? Another what another? You know what
9:45
Speaker 1: they're going to commit now or worse crime?
9:47
Speaker 5: Probably, Yeah, that's why you got to randomly throw out
9:50
Speaker 5: texts like everything I say is a joke because I'm
9:52
Speaker 5: a comedian, so like anything that you say could just
9:56
Speaker 5: be a joke.
9:57
Speaker 3: There you go.
9:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a valid every time.
10:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was joking. Everyone loves me to do that,
10:04
Speaker 3: you know.
10:04
Speaker 6: Ye, I'd fucking better be a valid defense. I'm not
10:09
Speaker 6: as cautious as you guys.
10:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll probably find out in the next few years.
10:14
Speaker 6: I always thinking if social credit scores go forward like
10:17
Speaker 6: they start at the April nineteenth, one year first whatever,
10:21
Speaker 6: then I'll all fucking I'll be cool.
10:22
Speaker 1: I'll play by the rules. But if they go.
10:24
Speaker 6: Retroactive, then they go back twenty years, I'm screwed.
10:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm so fucked mister mcsbad.
10:30
Speaker 6: What were you saying here in Club Penguin in two
10:33
Speaker 6: thousand and five by the Jewish people in the state
10:37
Speaker 6: of Israel.
10:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, my neo pats account was probably fucked up event.
10:42
Speaker 1: Yeah.
10:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyone who said any anti government shit on Twitter,
10:47
Speaker 2: because social credit scores take that kind of thing into account,
10:50
Speaker 2: at least the one in China. It's like part of
10:53
Speaker 2: it as well. How cool are you with the government.
10:55
Speaker 1: I know that's what I'm scared of.
10:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, same, jeez.
10:59
Speaker 2: I want no part of that. Then I really will
11:02
Speaker 2: just fucking leave the country if it's still allowed by
11:05
Speaker 2: then if other countries will have us.
11:07
Speaker 6: You know, because I called Jimmy Carter a quote nut mummy.
11:13
Speaker 2: I think it only applies if you know that what
11:16
Speaker 2: you're saying is not true.
11:17
Speaker 1: And oh well I do know he is a nut mummy.
11:20
Speaker 2: The science is still out on that, that is fact.
11:23
Speaker 2: They're probably checking now because he just died. Jen, what
11:25
Speaker 2: we you can do?
11:26
Speaker 5: So I can't stop thinking about the glass theory because
11:29
Speaker 5: that's so fucking dumb glass from what.
11:33
Speaker 2: Well, it would be from one of the teleprompters.
11:35
Speaker 3: That's what they're saying. And that's why you said the
11:36
Speaker 3: exploding thing.
11:37
Speaker 1: Okay.
11:37
Speaker 5: I was lost in the sauce about that because like,
11:40
Speaker 5: so someone shot a teleprompter.
11:43
Speaker 2: Some people think that, Yeah, the belief is that maybe
11:46
Speaker 2: one of the bullets went through a teleprompter. And this guy, yeah,
11:52
Speaker 2: he just he just doesn't like technology.
11:54
Speaker 5: He was like, a he can't read.
11:58
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you.
11:59
Speaker 5: That's what I was thinking about for so long. I
12:01
Speaker 5: was like, wait what.
12:02
Speaker 2: And yeah, again, if it was a piece of glass,
12:05
Speaker 2: I don't know. That doesn't make it that different to me.
12:08
Speaker 2: Even if he didn't get hit, that's still pretty wild.
12:12
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not surprising.
12:14
Speaker 5: But how much would that bullet go for on E Day?
12:18
Speaker 2: Probably quite a bit.
12:20
Speaker 6: I mean, if you can sneak it out of the
12:21
Speaker 6: evidence locker or whatever, right, I mean, And how do
12:24
Speaker 6: you prove this is Trump's blood on the thing?
12:26
Speaker 1: I swear like it's.
12:29
Speaker 6: Leo Harvey Oswald's hat. That's my favorite King of the
12:33
Speaker 6: Hill joke. How do I know it's Lee Harvey Oswald hat? Okay,
12:37
Speaker 6: what colors does it come in?
12:40
Speaker 2: At the Reagan Library, they have the gun that Reagan
12:44
Speaker 2: was shot with.
12:45
Speaker 1: They have the dead scrolls at the Reagan Library. I
12:47
Speaker 1: want to go.
12:48
Speaker 5: I want to go for that reason too.
12:50
Speaker 2: I fuck with the Reagan Library. I've been to a
12:52
Speaker 2: few exhibits there. I don't fuck with the Reagan Library half,
12:55
Speaker 2: but the exhibits half. I saw a joint Star Wars
13:00
Speaker 2: the Movie and Star Wars the Defense Initiative exhibit there,
13:05
Speaker 2: which I feel.
13:06
Speaker 1: Like, I mean, sounds fascinating.
13:08
Speaker 2: They did that only because the Star Wars Defense Initiative
13:12
Speaker 2: stuff was like one room. There wasn't that much to it,
13:16
Speaker 2: so they were just fill the other rooms with other
13:19
Speaker 2: star wars.
13:19
Speaker 6: I feel like they never said anything about that, like
13:21
Speaker 6: they didn't declassify enough to like make a fucking museum. Yeah,
13:27
Speaker 6: they faked like one mid liked ICBM getting shot down
13:31
Speaker 6: and they're like, that's all.
13:31
Speaker 1: You need to know, and there will never be nuclear Oregon.
13:35
Speaker 2: I also went to the FBI exhibit at the Reagan Library,
13:39
Speaker 2: which that was fun. I mean, where else am I
13:42
Speaker 2: going to see the Beltway sniper's blue Caprice? You know?
13:47
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool?
13:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm a crime guy, so I was
13:51
Speaker 2: into that all the history of the FBI stuff. I
13:53
Speaker 2: was like, oh, well, this is a lie, like their
13:55
Speaker 2: plaque about how they are dedicated to upholding civil rights.
13:59
Speaker 6: No you're not, not really, but even still, it's just
14:02
Speaker 6: funny that it's like that it's the agency that killed
14:05
Speaker 6: Martin Luther King, but it's also they go they get
14:07
Speaker 6: some bad guys sometimes.
14:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was also funny. They had doors set up
14:12
Speaker 2: that looked like you know what old timey office doors
14:15
Speaker 2: look like, where they would have that glass that was
14:17
Speaker 2: like not yeah transparent, with the fucking wires running through it,
14:21
Speaker 2: and they had these doors set up for a bunch
14:24
Speaker 2: of different FBI departments, and then one of them was
14:27
Speaker 2: the cyber Security department. It's like, oh, yeah, is that
14:30
Speaker 2: what the old cybersecurity doors look like back in the
14:33
Speaker 2: fucking forties and fifties.
14:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, shit, but it was fun.
14:37
Speaker 2: It's fun. That's where I got the Bobby Kennedy assassination program.
14:41
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the weirdest thing ever.
14:43
Speaker 6: But the program that came up the day after Bobby
14:45
Speaker 6: Kennedy was assassinated, that had all this information in it,
14:49
Speaker 6: like a baseball commemorative playbook about the Dodgers' fiftieth year,
14:55
Speaker 6: you know what I mean.
14:55
Speaker 1: Like it had like the trajectory of the bullet and
14:58
Speaker 1: where the impacts were, all this as you should.
15:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did a video about it on my solo
15:04
Speaker 2: podcast in broad Daylight. It's exactly that. It's like a
15:08
Speaker 2: souvenir program from the Bobby Kennedy assassination.
15:11
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
15:13
Speaker 2: It looks like some MK ultra shit to me.
15:16
Speaker 6: But it came up the day after, like the assassination happened,
15:19
Speaker 6: at like what like nine o'clock, Like, yeah.
15:21
Speaker 2: They were ready to go quick with it. And there's
15:25
Speaker 2: a section where it's this right up about the Kennedy family,
15:30
Speaker 2: and then it gets to the end and there's this
15:32
Speaker 2: picture that looks like a fucking wanted flyer that just
15:36
Speaker 2: has Ted Kennedy. It has his picture and just in
15:40
Speaker 2: big black letters, it just says there's one brother left.
15:44
Speaker 2: And then this summer there's an article about at the end,
15:50
Speaker 2: right after the there's one brother left, there's an article
15:53
Speaker 2: about how fucked up it is that you can still
15:55
Speaker 2: buy guns by mail and that hopefully sometimes someone this
15:59
Speaker 2: year will take care of that, but for right now,
16:01
Speaker 2: it says something to the effect of any budding lunatic
16:05
Speaker 2: who wants to become the next Lee Harvey Oswald can
16:09
Speaker 2: still do it. And it's like trying to get Ted
16:12
Speaker 2: Kennedy shot.
16:14
Speaker 6: Well, that's just good copywriting, because as a budding lunatic,
16:17
Speaker 6: I feel inspired that I could Maybe it could be
16:19
Speaker 6: a real life menace to society.
16:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, at least someone believes in you.
16:24
Speaker 2: It would have been funny if it also had like
16:26
Speaker 2: a clipout form to buy a gun.
16:31
Speaker 3: A coupon.
16:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Next, conspiracy FEMA camps. This is timeless.
16:38
Speaker 2: This is a conspiracy almost as old as me. But
16:41
Speaker 2: it just keeps coming.
16:43
Speaker 6: Yet no matter what, Like any you can watch any
16:46
Speaker 6: presidential debate from like Richard Nixon to president and like
16:50
Speaker 6: they will be talking about high speed rail that no
16:52
Speaker 6: one ever builds.
16:58
Speaker 1: Ever since I was a kid. I know, yes, sure
17:00
Speaker 1: it'll never know they'll ever make any but we will
17:03
Speaker 1: talk about it.
17:03
Speaker 6: Anya, FEMA conspiracies are like, that's every decade you could
17:07
Speaker 6: tune into Alex Jones talking about FEMA.
17:09
Speaker 1: I'm sure, well.
17:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, not just that, but I always find it kind
17:13
Speaker 2: of charming when Democrats, at least of a certain age,
17:18
Speaker 2: those who are old enough to have lived through George W. Bush,
17:21
Speaker 2: which that's not that long ago. We give right wingers
17:24
Speaker 2: so much shit for believing stuff like FEMA camp conspiracies,
17:29
Speaker 2: but when Bush was in office, it was Democrats who
17:31
Speaker 2: were like, yeah, George W. Bush is going to put
17:33
Speaker 2: us all in FEMA camps. It's just such a consistent
17:38
Speaker 2: rumor that comes up all the time.
17:40
Speaker 6: And it's a terrifying proposition being at the super Dome
17:43
Speaker 6: and the government is in charge of where you eat
17:45
Speaker 6: and shit.
17:47
Speaker 1: You know, like that's not good. I don't want it.
17:49
Speaker 1: That sounds bad.
17:50
Speaker 2: And it happens every time FEMA shows up at a
17:55
Speaker 2: disaster of any sort and puts up housing of any sort.
17:59
Speaker 2: People are like, loads of the camps. Camps are coming
18:03
Speaker 2: round up. They are responding to a fucking hurricane. You
18:07
Speaker 2: think they don't need temporary housing down there?
18:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's like that's the kind of place where the
18:12
Speaker 6: camp would be advantageous.
18:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, put it right there in the disaster zone. Perfect.
18:18
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's what these rumors popped up in response to.
18:22
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four, was Hurricane Helene.
18:25
Speaker 1: What a cunty name for a hurricane Helene.
18:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like it's like it reminds me of my
18:31
Speaker 6: the worst English teacher I ever had.
18:33
Speaker 1: Miss Rosine Rosine.
18:36
Speaker 3: Yeah.
18:37
Speaker 1: It's an old lady ass. Her name was Dale Dale Rosine.
18:43
Speaker 4: Wow.
18:44
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, Yeah, that's strange true, And I would love
18:48
Speaker 6: to say anything nice about her, but it would be impossible.
18:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can visualize her. She seems so scary and like, if.
18:55
Speaker 1: She had a sister, it'd be fucking Helene Helene Rosine.
18:58
Speaker 5: Ah.
19:00
Speaker 6: I could already make the villain of my series of
19:03
Speaker 6: children's books.
19:05
Speaker 2: So the first FEMA camp conspiracy, as it turns out,
19:10
Speaker 2: actually predates the Internet, or at least the Internet as
19:14
Speaker 2: we know it now. I know there was ben a
19:16
Speaker 2: version around since the seventies. Stay out of the fucking comments.
19:20
Speaker 5: No comment about it. Tell me so I can read
19:23
Speaker 5: about it. Tell me all of what you know.
19:26
Speaker 2: I mean, look it up. You know about it? Darpen
19:28
Speaker 2: what was it called darp in that BBS boards all
19:32
Speaker 2: that shit. There's military thing at first that really doesn't
19:37
Speaker 2: monitor it.
19:37
Speaker 6: Now they just we had developed a smiley technology back
19:41
Speaker 6: in the fifties.
19:44
Speaker 1: Wow, emoticons back in the late forties.
19:47
Speaker 3: Emoticons.
19:48
Speaker 2: So FEMA was I don't think I knew this. It
19:51
Speaker 2: was started by Jimmy Carter, our last president who tried
19:55
Speaker 2: and that was in nineteen seventy nine, and tw years later,
20:01
Speaker 2: a right wing newsletter called Posse Comatatis ran an article
20:05
Speaker 2: about how hardcore patriots are going to be sent to
20:10
Speaker 2: FEMA camps. And it's always that it's either patriots or extremists.
20:15
Speaker 2: Depending on who's in office, it's patriots or extremists. If
20:19
Speaker 2: there's a Democrat in office, then it's patriots we're going
20:22
Speaker 2: to go to FEMA camps. And if it's a right
20:25
Speaker 2: winger in office, then it's So.
20:27
Speaker 5: This conspiracy theory is just pretty much like they're coming
20:32
Speaker 5: for us. Yeah, they're gonna get us.
20:35
Speaker 6: Wait, so it's I'm kind of confused as a so
20:38
Speaker 6: like when there's a forget it, but.
20:41
Speaker 1: Like, what is it what you're saying.
20:43
Speaker 5: So, like, when Democrats are in office, it's like people
20:47
Speaker 5: who are like patriotic and like love the USA and
20:50
Speaker 5: hate change or whatever that they're going to round up
20:52
Speaker 5: and put into camps. And then when it's Republicans that
20:54
Speaker 5: are in office, it's extremists who are trying to create
20:57
Speaker 5: change they're gonna round up and put in camps.
20:58
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, I'm the service.
21:01
Speaker 2: It's like when the Postal Inspection Service started monitoring social
21:06
Speaker 2: media for extremist language. When they sold that plan to
21:11
Speaker 2: the government, they went to Democrats and we're like, yeah,
21:14
Speaker 2: and of course we're going to use this to monitor
21:17
Speaker 2: right wingers and hate speech. Democrats were like cool, And
21:20
Speaker 2: then they went to Republicans and we're like, and of
21:22
Speaker 2: course we're going to use this to monitor extremists and
21:24
Speaker 2: like black Lives matter and things. So now a postal
21:28
Speaker 2: service is just watching everyone's social media on the behalf
21:32
Speaker 2: of both sides.
21:34
Speaker 6: I hope the guy who reads the tweets all days.
21:36
Speaker 6: Also has to wear the shorts. He's just for no reason,
21:42
Speaker 6: he asked. He's like, fuck Tifa, and Tifa is getting
21:45
Speaker 6: really active again this time of year, and also I'm
21:47
Speaker 6: getting kind of cold.
21:49
Speaker 2: Still hate him. He just walked passed a dog in
21:52
Speaker 2: his regular life and it fucking freaks out.
21:55
Speaker 5: Does anyone even still say Antifa?
21:58
Speaker 3: Is that still even a thing?
21:59
Speaker 2: People say, oh, yeah, you hear it, You hear it
22:02
Speaker 2: for sure? Really yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:05
Speaker 5: I'm running in the wrong circles to hear it.
22:07
Speaker 2: I mean, the last time I read it, it was,
22:10
Speaker 2: or the last time I saw it used. I was
22:14
Speaker 2: reading the investigation into the January sixth riots, Like the
22:21
Speaker 2: FBI said Antifa was going to be there, and it's like,
22:23
Speaker 2: that doesn't seem accurate.
22:25
Speaker 3: They're so goofy for that.
22:27
Speaker 2: It's not a thing, goddamn anyway, So yeah, FEMA camps,
22:32
Speaker 2: we're all going to be in what And it's.
22:33
Speaker 6: Just for guys like me that actually are in Antifa.
22:36
Speaker 6: It makes a mockery of what we spend.
22:38
Speaker 3: Our everything you guys stand for. Damn.
22:41
Speaker 2: You know, do you remember the Antifa handbook that went
22:45
Speaker 2: around on the internet. It was so clearly fake.
22:50
Speaker 6: Well, and Antifa is like a by definition decentralized thing,
22:54
Speaker 6: like yes, yes.
22:56
Speaker 5: Yes, to have a handbook would not Yeah, like it
22:59
Speaker 5: had a.
22:59
Speaker 2: Call ring on it, like someone was you know, reading.
23:03
Speaker 6: Through it, and Antifa disc.
23:06
Speaker 1: While I was doing official Antifa bit.
23:08
Speaker 6: Well you know in Antifa chain of commands really important.
23:13
Speaker 2: All right, Next, conspiracy non citizen voters.
23:17
Speaker 1: This is starting to be an evergreen conspiracy too.
23:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, this, and you're right, this has been a claim
23:24
Speaker 2: for a long, long long.
23:26
Speaker 6: I feel like since like McCain, I don't remember this
23:29
Speaker 6: billy from before that, but I remember I remember since then.
23:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he was like around the same time as
23:36
Speaker 2: all the Tea party shit, yeah, when he was running
23:39
Speaker 2: for president. And I think it was that that really
23:43
Speaker 2: made this a thing. But in twenty twenty four and
23:47
Speaker 2: we did an episode about this, I think I did
23:50
Speaker 2: a solo episode. But the claim was that in swing states,
23:55
Speaker 2: Democrats were registering non citizen voters by a million in
24:01
Speaker 2: some cases, or at least in the hundreds of thousands,
24:05
Speaker 2: so that they could swing the election for Kamala Harris.
24:09
Speaker 2: And I don't know, it's just weird that that didn't work.
24:15
Speaker 1: It happened, Well, it was too big a rig at him.
24:18
Speaker 2: The non citizen voters thing. The first thing that really
24:22
Speaker 2: blew my mind about this theory is it would be
24:25
Speaker 2: in places like Arizona. They don't let non citizens get
24:28
Speaker 2: away with shit in Arizona.
24:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the most racist state I've ever been to.
24:34
Speaker 2: They had a They might still but they definitely used
24:37
Speaker 2: to have an actual show us your papers law. Really Yeah,
24:43
Speaker 2: So I really don't think that is the kind of
24:47
Speaker 2: state where they're just going to let non citizens registered
24:51
Speaker 2: to vote and vote and then count those votes. It's dumb.
24:54
Speaker 5: And weren't they also saying that they were voting as
24:57
Speaker 5: dead people, like they were like using dead people.
25:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think there is like a small amount of
25:02
Speaker 6: death that happens, like every election.
25:05
Speaker 3: Does that work?
25:06
Speaker 1: It definitely happens usually, So I vote twice.
25:09
Speaker 2: I can't imagine the psychology behind being like a lone
25:13
Speaker 2: wolf double voter, Like you're like, oh, this one act,
25:16
Speaker 2: I'm gonna fucking swing things.
25:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go. I have twice as much of a.
25:21
Speaker 5: Say, yeah, I can't even imagine like having someone in
25:24
Speaker 5: my life that died and being like, you know what,
25:26
Speaker 5: I'm going to use their vote.
25:28
Speaker 2: Like what that's like buying a second lottery ticket. In
25:32
Speaker 2: theory it improves your chances, but not really.
25:34
Speaker 6: I would see what I would do is I would you?
25:36
Speaker 6: I would take my dead father's identity and use it
25:38
Speaker 6: to not vote, just to spite him.
25:43
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, my dad's a dick. He hasn't voted since
25:46
Speaker 2: I was seventeen.
25:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like, how long is the expiration in like the
25:50
Speaker 5: dead people you can use even like someone's been dead
25:54
Speaker 5: for years and you try to vote as them.
25:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how. I don't
25:58
Speaker 2: know how the dead.
25:59
Speaker 5: Is there a dead people registry?
26:01
Speaker 1: Jen has too many questions about this.
26:07
Speaker 3: Idea.
26:08
Speaker 2: You don't really have to show ID to vote, so
26:11
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess you could just go in and
26:13
Speaker 2: be like, I am Helen Jones.
26:15
Speaker 5: I actually need like fifty mail in vote.
26:18
Speaker 2: You just show up and you're like, yeah, that's me.
26:20
Speaker 2: I'm eighty five years.
26:21
Speaker 1: Old, what of it, I'm dexter filled in.
26:25
Speaker 2: I used to work a side job when I was
26:29
Speaker 2: in my twenties and living in South Dakota at Target.
26:32
Speaker 2: But it was Target's credit card processing office, and that
26:37
Speaker 2: kind of reminds me of a thing that would happen
26:39
Speaker 2: where you would get someone who was clearly stealing a
26:43
Speaker 2: dead person or an old person's identity because the date
26:46
Speaker 2: of birth would be like nineteen twenty five. And then
26:50
Speaker 2: you call to verify this application and it's clearly someone
26:53
Speaker 2: in their twenties, and the only thing you would have
26:56
Speaker 2: to ask to trip them up, how old are you?
26:58
Speaker 2: Not what's your day to birth? Because they've memorized that,
27:02
Speaker 2: but in most cases they have not done the math
27:05
Speaker 2: to figure out how wow that date of birth would
27:07
Speaker 2: make them, and people, boy irate you would ask that,
27:11
Speaker 2: and that's how you knew it's fucking fraud. Damn. But yeah,
27:16
Speaker 2: non citizen voters that happens to, not at nearly the
27:20
Speaker 2: rate this theory would have us believe. The Brennan's Center
27:24
Speaker 2: for Justice after the twenty sixteen election found thirty suspected
27:29
Speaker 2: cases of non citizen voting, and that is out of
27:32
Speaker 2: twenty three point five million votes. A Washington Post investigation
27:38
Speaker 2: uncovered eighty five cases of non citizen voting in the
27:42
Speaker 2: two decades between two thousand and two twenty twenty three, So.
27:48
Speaker 3: Just huge numbers of this, yeah happening. Huge.
27:52
Speaker 5: Also, like undocumented people are not looking to go anywhere
27:56
Speaker 5: that the government is.
27:58
Speaker 3: What the fuck?
27:59
Speaker 6: There's probably like more hours of Tuckwick Carlson about this
28:02
Speaker 6: than there are like times that had happened in the
28:05
Speaker 6: last twenty years.
28:06
Speaker 3: Oh, like definitely.
28:07
Speaker 5: Also, there's such weird rules around voting. Like I wore
28:11
Speaker 5: this shirt to vote that like had Democrat, Republican, and
28:14
Speaker 5: wet ass pussy as the options to vote, and wet
28:18
Speaker 5: ass pussy was checked off, and like somebody in the
28:21
Speaker 5: voting place was like, you know, you could get a
28:24
Speaker 5: felony for wearing a shirt that's influential.
28:27
Speaker 3: Of the vote.
28:27
Speaker 5: And I was like, well, wet ass pussy is not
28:29
Speaker 5: running for president, so is it like influencing anything? But
28:34
Speaker 5: that was a thing I didn't like, you can't go
28:36
Speaker 5: vote wearing a Trump shirt.
28:39
Speaker 2: I'm actually surprised they let you wear it, like they
28:43
Speaker 2: normally make people either like if you're wearing something like that,
28:45
Speaker 2: you have to like turn it inside out, or.
28:47
Speaker 6: Like kind of like high school gym rules, like you
28:49
Speaker 6: got to put on some pee clothes for the rest
28:51
Speaker 6: of the day.
28:52
Speaker 2: Because yeah, it's called letionineering.
28:54
Speaker 5: It is God that made me want to never vote again.
28:57
Speaker 5: That's the dumbishit in the world. Wet ass pussy would
29:00
Speaker 5: not running?
29:01
Speaker 2: Then how come I voted for it? Feel like I
29:07
Speaker 2: wasted my vote now, God damn it.
29:09
Speaker 1: I voted for Robert F. Kennedy Senior. No, I didn't.
29:14
Speaker 1: I voted for Mary Anne Williamson.
29:16
Speaker 5: How many people are wearing Trump shirts to vote? I
29:18
Speaker 5: feel like that has to be like all of them.
29:20
Speaker 2: I mean, you'd be surprised a lot of people are
29:22
Speaker 2: familiar with.
29:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, people know, like the thing, most people accept this law, Jen.
29:28
Speaker 2: I don't.
29:29
Speaker 5: I think it's dumb and I hate it.
29:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
29:32
Speaker 6: It's like if I was making up a list of
29:34
Speaker 6: the laws, would have been in my first priority.
29:36
Speaker 1: But like, would I necessarily get rid of it? I'm not.
29:38
Speaker 6: I don't know, not really, Like we definitely don't need
29:41
Speaker 6: to make a polling place any more fucking political, right,
29:46
Speaker 6: you know, people could get shit, could get heated, and
29:49
Speaker 6: you know, if someone sees their own kind of.
29:50
Speaker 3: T shirt, Yeah, no, definitely. I just don't think that
29:53
Speaker 3: my shirt applied at all.
29:55
Speaker 2: Yeah.
29:55
Speaker 6: Well, I don't think anyone was thinking about a white
29:57
Speaker 6: ass pussy shirt when they made the law.
29:59
Speaker 1: But unfortunately it's like, if we're.
30:00
Speaker 6: Going to ban the guy with the lynched to Obama,
30:04
Speaker 6: we have to ban the wet ass pussy shirt.
30:06
Speaker 2: Then why is it called the wet ass Pussy law?
30:09
Speaker 6: Connor, Yeah, I forgot about the AWAPL. They they've worked
30:15
Speaker 6: with the ACLUS sometimes.
30:17
Speaker 2: So yeah. Also, I don't know if people know this,
30:21
Speaker 2: but Kamala Harris.
30:22
Speaker 5: Lost so the Oh yeah, it didn't work.
30:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this, that's that's really the hallmark of
30:29
Speaker 2: debunking a conspiracy. I don't agree that it immediately discounts
30:33
Speaker 2: something just if it didn't work, like it can still
30:36
Speaker 2: happen and have failed. But yeah, this would have failed
30:40
Speaker 2: on such an epic scale so as to suggest it
30:44
Speaker 2: did not happen at all.
30:45
Speaker 6: Some of the greatest conspiracy theories of all time failed,
30:48
Speaker 6: like Operation Acoustic Kitty.
30:50
Speaker 1: You remember that one.
30:52
Speaker 2: That's the bombcats, right then.
30:54
Speaker 6: That's the one where the CIA spent like months figuring
30:56
Speaker 6: out how to implant their recording device inside a cat,
30:59
Speaker 6: and then they left cat outside the kremlin, hoping that
31:01
Speaker 6: someone would think the cat was cute it and take
31:03
Speaker 6: it inside and it would serve as like a secret
31:06
Speaker 6: recording device with the little thing inside the cat.
31:08
Speaker 1: But it just got hit by a taxi on its.
31:11
Speaker 6: Way to walk over to the Kremlin, fucking immediately as
31:15
Speaker 6: soon as they let it out of the car. After
31:19
Speaker 6: this poor cat got cut open and put a tape
31:21
Speaker 6: recorder in his tummy.
31:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, did it get hit by that car unwillingly? Or
31:26
Speaker 2: was it protesting capitalism?
31:28
Speaker 1: When you know, I think he might have been under
31:31
Speaker 1: the influence of chairman mew.
31:35
Speaker 2: Ah. We do good work here, all right sometimes. Yeah,
31:39
Speaker 2: next conspiracy. This ties into the last one, and now
31:43
Speaker 2: we're back to the Dems. Believe in it.
31:47
Speaker 1: The dumbs right whoa got him?
31:49
Speaker 2: Got him fucking roasted. The missing fifteen million votes. This
31:56
Speaker 2: was such a thing in the day's after the election,
32:01
Speaker 2: and both sides seized on it and used it as
32:06
Speaker 2: proof of something that didn't actually happen. On the Democrat side,
32:11
Speaker 2: the argument was, how could there be fifteen million fewer
32:15
Speaker 2: votes for Kamala Harris in twenty twenty four than in
32:19
Speaker 2: twenty twenty with an election like this, an election this
32:22
Speaker 2: fucking consequential, that is clearly evidence of fraud. Meanwhile, on
32:27
Speaker 2: the Republican side, they were like, holy shit, look how
32:31
Speaker 2: much of a landslide Trump won by this is a
32:34
Speaker 2: mandate that he is expected to carry out all of
32:38
Speaker 2: his policies. Is what America wants. Overwhelming victory. And in
32:42
Speaker 2: both cases, all of the votes hadn't been counted yet.
32:45
Speaker 2: That's all it was. There were just still votes left
32:49
Speaker 2: to be counted, just not enough that it was going
32:53
Speaker 2: to sway things in Kamala Harris's direction. So the morning
32:58
Speaker 2: after the election, yeah, she was down like fifteen million votes.
33:03
Speaker 2: So the morning after she had sixty million votes. By
33:06
Speaker 2: the morning of November thirteenth, she had seventy two point
33:09
Speaker 2: four million votes. As of right now, the Associated Press
33:14
Speaker 2: has the vote totals seventy five million for Harris seventy
33:19
Speaker 2: seven million for Trump. So she got forty eight point
33:22
Speaker 2: four percent. He got forty nine point nine percent. So
33:25
Speaker 2: it wasn't fraud and it wasn't a fucking mandate. It
33:28
Speaker 2: was just a regular ass election, and people got in
33:31
Speaker 2: their feelings on social media immediately and just ran with
33:35
Speaker 2: a fucking lie.
33:36
Speaker 6: And I think they really discounted the the voting block
33:40
Speaker 6: of Gary Johnson to Hillary Clinton, to Kanye West, SA
33:44
Speaker 6: Marian Williamson, voters who felt really kind of disillusioned by
33:48
Speaker 6: a lot of the stuff going on with politics. So
33:51
Speaker 6: you know, those people sitting it out, I think that's
33:53
Speaker 6: your other percent and a half right there.
33:55
Speaker 2: I always thought that was going to account for Harris
33:59
Speaker 2: losing more than anything.
34:01
Speaker 1: Is what just people not wanting to vote for?
34:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, people not wanting to vote at all.
34:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the way these numbers played out, I
34:08
Speaker 2: think it probably is that. I don't think anyone in
34:12
Speaker 2: the lame stream media wants to say it, but I
34:15
Speaker 2: do think the Biden administration's response to Gaza probably fucking
34:22
Speaker 2: cost them this election.
34:23
Speaker 6: I couldn't believe how many women I saw going like,
34:26
Speaker 6: I want to vote for Kamala but and it's like
34:30
Speaker 6: with like a whole ass abortion, you're like hanging in
34:33
Speaker 6: the balance.
34:33
Speaker 1: You're still like, yeah, she sucks so bad.
34:36
Speaker 2: And that's the thing, Like i'd like, I said way
34:39
Speaker 2: before the election, I couldn't really fault anyone for going
34:44
Speaker 2: either direction. I get it. They're supporting a fucking genocide, you.
34:49
Speaker 6: Know, and at a certain point, what's what's the substantive
34:53
Speaker 6: protest anymore?
34:54
Speaker 3: You know, it's like nothing.
34:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, So yeah, I don't know. Whatever the case, she
35:00
Speaker 2: didn't lose fifteen million fucking votes that's for sure.
35:03
Speaker 3: And this election we just impatient.
35:06
Speaker 2: It was way way way closer than people made it
35:10
Speaker 2: out to be.
35:11
Speaker 6: They were just well, and it's like, and we always know,
35:13
Speaker 6: it takes a fucking two months to count California.
35:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and we do. We do this every time.
35:18
Speaker 2: And it was a lot of the votes were California
35:21
Speaker 2: that were outstanding.
35:23
Speaker 1: So that's why this world to be immigrants.
35:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, because all the non citizens in California were voting.
35:30
Speaker 5: Duh, m all eighty five of them.
35:34
Speaker 6: I remember how many non citizen voters you guys saw
35:37
Speaker 6: at your polling place?
35:39
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.
35:40
Speaker 3: And also the first thing I asked, yeah.
35:42
Speaker 2: And then I also didn't think it was cool that
35:44
Speaker 2: they were being paid less than minimum wage to work there.
35:47
Speaker 2: At the same time, Oh I didn't know that.
35:50
Speaker 1: Yeah.
35:50
Speaker 6: I thought that was like one of the last good jobs.
35:52
Speaker 6: You could be a pulling place worker for two days.
35:54
Speaker 2: I was joking that that was an illegal immigration joke.
36:00
Speaker 6: But I think we should do We should make inmates,
36:02
Speaker 6: like make them make the prison inmates that we do
36:04
Speaker 6: page minimum wage, like you're talking about, we make them
36:07
Speaker 6: the polling place workers, so that it kind of scares
36:10
Speaker 6: people into acting straight flying. Right, if there's a guy
36:13
Speaker 6: with a couple of neck tattoos policing whether how long
36:16
Speaker 6: you're taking at the touch screen, you're gonna fucking figure
36:18
Speaker 6: out who you're voting for pretty quick, you know.
36:20
Speaker 2: Yeah. I do like that. Yeah, better than having them
36:22
Speaker 2: fight fires like we do here.
36:24
Speaker 1: Wasted time though, I mean, I'd.
36:27
Speaker 2: Probably rather be outside, for sure.
36:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what everyone's saying, Like interviewing them, They're like, yeah,
36:33
Speaker 5: I'd rather just like have a purpose and be outside.
36:36
Speaker 3: People bring us food, it's chill.
36:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense.
36:39
Speaker 6: Still can't they can't even get any firefighter pussy. I
36:43
Speaker 6: have to get some conjugal firefighter pussy.
36:45
Speaker 2: It's a lucrative market, especially if you get in one
36:48
Speaker 2: of them calendars.
36:49
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good placement. Can do a lot for you.
36:52
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's unlimited fireman calendar called.
36:55
Speaker 2: It trim all right. This next one. Democrats control the
37:01
Speaker 2: weather obviously.
37:02
Speaker 1: Oh yep.
37:04
Speaker 6: That's why my father's house is always exactly seventy six degrees.
37:10
Speaker 2: So this is more Hurricane Helene stuff. In a bunch
37:15
Speaker 2: of social media posts, Marjorie Taylor Green seemed to at
37:20
Speaker 2: least imply that democrats control the weather. This is her
37:25
Speaker 2: one of her tweets. Yes, they control the weather. It's
37:28
Speaker 2: ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can't be done.
37:31
Speaker 2: End quote. Wow, here's the thing I have said a
37:37
Speaker 2: bunch of times on this podcast that the idea of
37:40
Speaker 2: being able to manipulate weather in some way is not
37:44
Speaker 2: only not crazy, but it happens. There's a thing called
37:47
Speaker 2: cloud seeding, which I think it's kind of up in
37:50
Speaker 2: the air about how well it works, but it's a
37:53
Speaker 2: means of making it rain, so to speak.
37:56
Speaker 6: If you have the right conditions, you can do it.
38:00
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's it works fairly reliably and like you know,
38:04
Speaker 6: did people have used it literally in agriculture where they're
38:06
Speaker 6: trying to fucking get their shit wided.
38:09
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's also kind of how the events in the
38:12
Speaker 2: hit film snow Piercer started.
38:14
Speaker 6: So there's also that documentary that hasn't happened yet, snow Piercer,
38:19
Speaker 6: And yeah, it's real.
38:21
Speaker 2: And we've done an episode about Heart, which that was
38:25
Speaker 2: a device. I mean, it's still out there, but there
38:29
Speaker 2: were a lot of arguments that the patent that that
38:32
Speaker 2: was based on, or a patent that was very similar
38:35
Speaker 2: to it, if it worked as described, you would be
38:39
Speaker 2: able to like manipulate weather with it in some way,
38:44
Speaker 2: but we never I mean, it was obviously never confirmed.
38:47
Speaker 2: The government doesn't just like build new weapons and then
38:49
Speaker 2: fire off an amber alert to let us know that
38:52
Speaker 2: they have them.
38:52
Speaker 1: Hey, Connor and Adam just in time hearing that show.
38:56
Speaker 2: So yeah, all of that. I accept all of that
39:00
Speaker 2: that I have also said, yeah, maybe it might be possible,
39:03
Speaker 2: but I highly highly doubt that whatever form that takes.
39:08
Speaker 2: I don't think it's like one of those drone pilot
39:11
Speaker 2: soldiers just sitting in a room with a fucking Xbox
39:14
Speaker 2: controller driving a hurricane to South Carolina. That would be
39:19
Speaker 2: such an impractical deployment of this.
39:23
Speaker 6: It's like, why would we make a hard attag gun
39:24
Speaker 6: and then use it to kill our presidents?
39:27
Speaker 1: You know?
39:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess we could have a reason to kill
39:30
Speaker 6: our own president, But it's like, why would we be
39:32
Speaker 6: damaging our own infrastructure with our ability to destroy the weather.
39:35
Speaker 6: Wouldn't we steer the fucking hurricanes towards Cuba. It's some
39:39
Speaker 6: hilarious rig like and I don't.
39:41
Speaker 2: Think we would deploy it for artisan reasons. I highly
39:46
Speaker 2: doubt the government would launch a fucking hurricane just to
39:50
Speaker 2: get South Carolina's nine electoral votes, the very small state.
39:56
Speaker 2: There's not much to be had there. There was just
39:59
Speaker 2: a fuck hurricane.
40:00
Speaker 6: And you don't you don't want to give one side
40:02
Speaker 6: the power of the weather. The game with politics is
40:05
Speaker 6: you want both sides to be exactly fifty percent. So
40:07
Speaker 6: when nobody's happy at all.
40:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And the idea that this would have happened
40:14
Speaker 2: to keep people from voting, well, then why did it
40:18
Speaker 2: happen like a month before the election. Why wouldn't it
40:20
Speaker 2: happen like the day of the election. That seems like
40:24
Speaker 2: a better course of action. You could drive one of
40:27
Speaker 2: these things through fucking Florida on election day, or get
40:30
Speaker 2: creative with it, send it to fucking Pennsylvania landlocked hurricane.
40:36
Speaker 6: I feel like the hurricane is kind of the machine
40:39
Speaker 6: gun or the grenade of the weather weaponry world. I
40:42
Speaker 6: would prefer more of a tornado sniper kind of approach,
40:46
Speaker 6: where it's like, oh, he's picking up ground in some
40:49
Speaker 6: precincts in Georgia.
40:50
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, I know which precincts.
40:52
Speaker 5: Which fingers tornadoes would be very fucking terrifying.
40:56
Speaker 2: That's an excellent point. I feel like a tornado would
41:00
Speaker 2: if there was some version of all right, let's make
41:02
Speaker 2: a tornado and drive this motherfucker to kill our enemies.
41:06
Speaker 2: The tornado is gonna be way easier to control. The
41:09
Speaker 2: more precisely of Oz is about I think so. Yeah,
41:12
Speaker 2: it's about the government suppressing descent weather weapons.
41:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, killed Witch of the West. It's all making sense now.
41:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know what she represents. Man.
41:25
Speaker 2: Oh, speaking of the Wizard of Oz, has anyone ever
41:27
Speaker 2: done the dark side of the OS thing? No?
41:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have done like a part of it. Yeah,
41:34
Speaker 1: but I've done.
41:34
Speaker 5: I've done Scooby Woo where you set up Wu Tang
41:38
Speaker 5: any Wu Tang album to anything Scooby Doo and it
41:40
Speaker 5: sinks that perfectly.
41:44
Speaker 2: I do like that.
41:44
Speaker 6: What Yeah, you should try it.
41:48
Speaker 3: It will work.
41:49
Speaker 2: Definitely going to try that.
41:51
Speaker 1: Ok.
41:52
Speaker 3: But Adam, you've done it, You've done the real one.
41:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's neat the movie and the album
41:58
Speaker 2: are not the same length.
42:00
Speaker 5: So did you guys do drugs to do it? Or
42:02
Speaker 5: do you just do it loose?
42:03
Speaker 2: And I dream drugs to do everything?
42:06
Speaker 3: Like drugs? Drugs?
42:07
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we took acid for sure.
42:09
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay, not daily.
42:11
Speaker 1: Drugs, background drugs.
42:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
42:16
Speaker 2: So yeah. And it's also worth pointing out that again
42:20
Speaker 2: in South Carolina, Trump fucking curb stomped Amala Harris. He
42:24
Speaker 2: won by so goddamn much in that state. So if
42:27
Speaker 2: this was a thing, it did not work once again.
42:31
Speaker 2: Go figure you think sending a hurricane to one of
42:34
Speaker 2: the smaller states in the nation would be just the
42:37
Speaker 2: thing that would sway an election for Democrats. Razy? All right,
42:41
Speaker 2: last conspiracy, the New Jersey drones. Let's talk about them.
42:46
Speaker 1: My favorite minor league hockey team.
42:50
Speaker 2: And I know there were other conspiracies this year. Feel
42:53
Speaker 2: free to sound off in the comments about what we
42:56
Speaker 2: left out. Make sure you're really rude about it. Call
42:59
Speaker 2: us assholes and faces for forgetting your favorite thing. We
43:03
Speaker 2: know how you do Internet. The New Jersey drones. This
43:06
Speaker 2: was America at its most trusting and gullible. And I
43:11
Speaker 2: hated it so much because the media, I think, I mean,
43:16
Speaker 2: I don't think the media just like went to the
43:18
Speaker 2: military and was like, hey, are these drones you The
43:21
Speaker 2: military was like no, and from there no one else
43:25
Speaker 2: ever questioned it. Again. They were like, well, we asked
43:28
Speaker 2: the government and they said it's.
43:30
Speaker 1: Not them alien drunk.
43:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's like, do people not remember the Chinese
43:36
Speaker 2: spy balloon. We could not shoot that thing out of
43:39
Speaker 2: the sky fast enough, like we were psyched to shoot
43:43
Speaker 2: that fucking thing down.
43:45
Speaker 1: Yea.
43:46
Speaker 2: And meanwhile we have the leat of drones covering an
43:51
Speaker 2: entire state, crossing off into other states, just all over
43:55
Speaker 2: the goddamn place, and one the government's like, it's nothing,
43:58
Speaker 2: don't worry about it.
43:59
Speaker 6: We have more drones than a ben Stein impersonator contest.
44:05
Speaker 1: That's one of my worst.
44:08
Speaker 2: People will get it eventually, It'll like people, will I
44:11
Speaker 2: get it. It'll be like, because the way ben Stein talks, yeah, drones,
44:18
Speaker 2: let's just cut it out.
44:21
Speaker 3: No, No, it needs to stay.
44:23
Speaker 2: And I did an episode of my solo podcast about this. Also,
44:28
Speaker 2: just like the things people are ignoring when they say, well, yeah,
44:33
Speaker 2: we asked the government, they said it's not.
44:34
Speaker 1: Then.
44:35
Speaker 2: For one, the first place these drones were spotted is
44:39
Speaker 2: literally a military installation in New Jersey.
44:43
Speaker 5: Installation is such a funny way to describe, like it's
44:46
Speaker 5: an art installation, but the military. Yes, they're just a military,
44:52
Speaker 5: just like on display.
44:55
Speaker 2: This place where these drones were first spotted, it's called
44:59
Speaker 2: the Picatinny Arsenal, and I feel like people hear that
45:02
Speaker 2: name and are just going to assume, oh, so that's
45:04
Speaker 2: where we like store a bunch of weapons.
45:06
Speaker 6: Well, it just also sounds like a really really small arsenal. Yeah,
45:11
Speaker 6: Picatinny Arsenal. Can you take me to a real one?
45:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds so inconsequentials, fucking Picatinny Arsenal, call us
45:18
Speaker 2: an arsenal. But it's not just that. I'm sure we
45:22
Speaker 2: do store some weapons there, but that is where the
45:25
Speaker 2: Army's experimental weapons development lab is at. It's at Picatinny Arsenal.
45:31
Speaker 2: It's the lab where they created the Patriot missile for
45:35
Speaker 2: the First Golf War. They for the Second Golf War
45:38
Speaker 2: made a literal robot machine gun. It just it's a
45:42
Speaker 2: robot that you can send out on the battlefield and
45:45
Speaker 2: it's equipped with a machine gun so it can shoot.
45:48
Speaker 2: You know, you can send it out there guilt free.
45:50
Speaker 2: Unless the robots become sentient at some point then that's
45:53
Speaker 2: a different discussion. But after you've created, you know, a
45:57
Speaker 2: robot machine gun, where do you go next? At that
46:00
Speaker 2: fucking thing in a drone? Now, now we got flying
46:02
Speaker 2: machine guns, which we've already had those drones have been
46:06
Speaker 2: outfitted with weapons already.
46:09
Speaker 6: And then guys in the drones are like machine guns.
46:11
Speaker 6: These fucking jerks don't even know about the lasers.
46:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so they're spotted above where the army makes
46:19
Speaker 2: their experimental weapons. There's that. I don't know how this
46:23
Speaker 2: isn't the fucking nail in the coffin for the idea
46:26
Speaker 2: that this isn't the government. These drone sightings started like
46:29
Speaker 2: mid October, and at the point I did that solo
46:33
Speaker 2: episode about them, they had happened every day since then
46:37
Speaker 2: except Thanksgiving, So it's like they had the day off
46:41
Speaker 2: for some reason.
46:42
Speaker 6: Patriotic aliens Yeah, well better Yeah, they're into you know,
46:46
Speaker 6: our antiquity, the colonialism.
46:50
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, these completely unexplainable drones take a government holiday. Okay,
46:57
Speaker 2: that I guess.
46:58
Speaker 1: I guess that makes the drones were spotted in raising
47:02
Speaker 1: canes drive through.
47:05
Speaker 5: There were also orbs that were happening that people were
47:07
Speaker 5: seeing all over the country during the drones, and people
47:11
Speaker 5: were thinking that the drones were the government being distracting
47:15
Speaker 5: from the orbs that nobody knew what the fuck they were.
47:18
Speaker 3: Did you guys hear about the orbs.
47:19
Speaker 2: I did not, but that wouldn't surprise me one bit.
47:22
Speaker 2: And here's the thing. Those orbs also the government. That's
47:25
Speaker 2: that would also be the military.
47:28
Speaker 1: What about the spheres? Those are real.
47:31
Speaker 6: The orbs are the government, The drones are the counter government.
47:35
Speaker 6: But the spheres, man, those are That's the fucking essence
47:38
Speaker 6: of life.
47:39
Speaker 1: Man.
47:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone knows that.
47:41
Speaker 5: I looked up Picatinny and it's an Algonquian word that
47:45
Speaker 5: means calm water in the hill next to it, and
47:47
Speaker 5: Algonquin is basically Cherokee tribes.
47:51
Speaker 3: That are all they like.
47:53
Speaker 5: Because I found that most military bases, most military bases
47:57
Speaker 5: in the United States are named after the native land
48:01
Speaker 5: they stole it from.
48:02
Speaker 6: Kind of like it's disrespectful and it's sort of like
48:04
Speaker 6: a fleximul like yeah, i'll take your name too, totally.
48:07
Speaker 3: It's like such a dunk mean bullshit thing to do.
48:10
Speaker 2: Let me just find it quick so I don't misquote it.
48:14
Speaker 2: But it's interesting that it's got such a peaceful name
48:17
Speaker 2: because on the sign for Picatinny Arsenal underneath where it
48:21
Speaker 2: says Picatinny Arsenal their slogan Joint Center of Excellence for Lethality.
48:28
Speaker 1: Geez.
48:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are better than anyone else that killing otherfuckers, that's.
48:33
Speaker 6: What That's one of the best oxymorons of all. I'm
48:36
Speaker 6: sure they have some at the Picatinny Arsenal'll be The
48:39
Speaker 6: best oxymoron is a peacekeeper missile.
48:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, they probably fucking made it. There, wouldn't
48:44
Speaker 2: surprise me. And yeah, these drones. The minute they started happening,
48:50
Speaker 2: my first thought was, that's obviously the government if they're
48:53
Speaker 2: not shooting them down and they're not freaking out about it.
48:55
Speaker 2: There was a politician in New Jersey who was like,
49:00
Speaker 2: I got it on word from my sources that there
49:04
Speaker 2: is an Iranian mother ship barked off the East coast
49:07
Speaker 2: and these drones are flying in from that Iranian mothership.
49:11
Speaker 2: It's like, we would not just let that happen.
49:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, and of course it's conveniently the country that we
49:17
Speaker 6: would like to go to war with the most but
49:19
Speaker 6: have the least reason to exactly. Yes, yeah, and also like,
49:24
Speaker 6: if these drones were alien drones, they'd be doing it.
49:26
Speaker 6: They'd be doing alien drone shit. They'd be saying hight
49:28
Speaker 6: to school children in the third world country. They'd be
49:32
Speaker 6: appearing prettily in the air in the beach for tourists,
49:36
Speaker 6: or they would be flying around American nuclear sites and
49:38
Speaker 6: shutting them down with magic powers, uh, and then turning
49:42
Speaker 6: them back on and flying away.
49:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what real aliens do. They got that going on.
49:46
Speaker 5: As well, or just being cute in our backyards, probing us.
49:49
Speaker 2: During our dreams.
49:50
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, your dreams.
49:54
Speaker 2: I actually have a theory as to what might be
49:58
Speaker 2: because drones have been around for ever. The thing that's
50:01
Speaker 2: unique about these is there the size of a small
50:05
Speaker 2: truck or suv is what people describe them ass and
50:09
Speaker 2: that's pretty sizable for a drone. And there is a
50:14
Speaker 2: device out there called the stingray, which is a very
50:19
Speaker 2: imprecise spying weapon where you turn it on and it
50:23
Speaker 2: acts like a cell phone tower, and anyone whose phone
50:27
Speaker 2: connects to it you get all of their phone data.
50:31
Speaker 2: And they do it to get the data from criminals
50:35
Speaker 2: they're looking for, but there's no way for it to
50:38
Speaker 2: not pick up the data of everyone who connects with it. It's
50:41
Speaker 2: a great way to spy on people, but the limitations
50:44
Speaker 2: to it are one, you need to be close to
50:47
Speaker 2: the person you're spying on, like you have to be
50:50
Speaker 2: within cell tower range at the minimum, and two you
50:54
Speaker 2: have to hide it in something the size of a
50:57
Speaker 2: Chevy Silverado. When this was most recently presented to police
51:03
Speaker 2: forces as a thing they could buy, it was housed
51:06
Speaker 2: inside the cab of a Chevy Silverado. So I don't
51:10
Speaker 2: think it would be outside the realm of possibility that
51:14
Speaker 2: they're trying to put one of those stingrays in a
51:17
Speaker 2: thing that can fly, Because how much more effective would
51:21
Speaker 2: that fucking thing be if it can just hover over
51:24
Speaker 2: someone's house? And even if you see it, what the
51:28
Speaker 2: fuck are you gonna do? You're gonna shoot it down.
51:30
Speaker 2: It's probably gonna have a Department of Justice logo on
51:32
Speaker 2: it by the time that part's happening.
51:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so fucking scary. I hate that.
51:38
Speaker 5: Also, I looked it up. Why are there, like there's
51:40
Speaker 5: like very little footage of these fucking drones that everybody
51:44
Speaker 5: said they.
51:44
Speaker 3: Saw, they saw, they saw. Yeah, why yeah.
51:48
Speaker 5: If this happened every day, why is there nothing?
51:52
Speaker 3: I don't like that.
51:53
Speaker 5: That part's weird. People in New Jersey just don't care.
51:56
Speaker 5: They've moved on. They're like that happens every day.
51:58
Speaker 2: I mean New Jersey drinking on the ground.
52:02
Speaker 6: New Jersey until one drones brings James gandel Fei back
52:06
Speaker 6: to Earth.
52:06
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck. I don't give a shit, kid.
52:09
Speaker 2: So the last thing that made me highly suspicious that
52:14
Speaker 2: these were not only a government thing, but that they
52:16
Speaker 2: specifically came from the Picatinny Arsenal. At the exact same
52:19
Speaker 2: time these drone sightings started, a group of advocates for
52:25
Speaker 2: the Picatinny Arsenal made their first what they say is
52:29
Speaker 2: going to be an annual trip, that they made their
52:32
Speaker 2: first trip to Washington, d C. To meet with the
52:35
Speaker 2: Department of Defense to just like get in their ear
52:39
Speaker 2: and remind them how important Picatinny Arsenal is, because it's
52:42
Speaker 2: one of those places that's like they kind of toss
52:45
Speaker 2: around the idea of shutting it down every once in
52:47
Speaker 2: a while. And so they're advocating for what they can
52:50
Speaker 2: do and how important they are to the military. And
52:53
Speaker 2: the same time these fucking drone sightings start above their
52:57
Speaker 2: goddamn facility, Representatives from that facility are in Washington, d C.
53:02
Speaker 2: Hitching the government on the type of shit they're capable of.
53:06
Speaker 5: They were holding us hostage.
53:11
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's so obviously the government, so.
53:14
Speaker 5: You can't shut down our stupid name center that we
53:17
Speaker 5: stole from Native people.
53:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it has That is I think probably
53:22
Speaker 2: a big part of it. I mean, if you're going
53:23
Speaker 2: to talk to the Department of Defense, you're going to
53:26
Speaker 2: want to have something to show them. If you can
53:28
Speaker 2: just be like, hey, turn on the news.
53:31
Speaker 3: You want to see something. Look at New Jersey.
53:33
Speaker 2: It's a huge coincidence that they were there at the
53:36
Speaker 2: same time this was happening. If it was true crime,
53:39
Speaker 2: they'd be in prison for doing this, because true crime
53:42
Speaker 2: doesn't allow for coincidences, but conspiracies do. So I think
53:47
Speaker 2: that's our episode, right, I think we did it.
53:50
Speaker 1: Think so?
53:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we did it.
