• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Get a true thing is? Hey?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Everybody, welcome to Conspiracy the Show. I'm your host, Adam
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Todd Brown joining me as co host this week. Connor's here.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: How's it going, man?
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: I'm going better now that I'm talking to you, Adam.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Hey, ain't that always the way ship is going down?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Where Connor and I.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Live California, the Golden State.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mean the apartment we share. We moved
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: out of the apartment we shared together a long time ago.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: After Adam fan to kill me in the womb powered
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: that he is.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: But the city we live in, Los Angeles. Maybe people
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: have heard it's on fire right now all over the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: goddamn place.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I saw someone use the phrase, which I felt like,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: given the circumstances, was totally accurate. You think he was
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: caught in the midst of an exclaiming hurricane, which, like
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: that should be a drink that you order, not a
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: fucking thing that happens to your house. It is crazy,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: That's what it's like.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: It's not just a fire because it's a fire happening
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: while the Santa Anna winds are.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Happening over one hundred miles an hour sometimes. I heard that.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: I heard this fact blew my mind that embers can
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: travel over a mile with that, so one fucking lucky
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: spark can take out your whole, you know, Pacific Palisades home.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I'm in sam Pedro, damn, like right by the ocean,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and we're getting ash down here. Oh it's a raining
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: ash yeah yeah, and it has been for a while,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: so I'm far enough away that fire isn't a threat yet.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: But also people set a fucking park on fire last
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: night and that got put down quick enough, but.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Like like an arson just so on oh god.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, So who knows that you said you're in
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Teluca Lake.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I mean Teluca Lake sort of like in between the
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Sunset fire and the Kenneth fire and the Lyddia fire.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of in the middle of that triangle, but
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: far enough away from all of them that wasn't really
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: terribly at risk. And I notoriously I am not a
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: news reader. I am not on Twitter every day seeing
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: what's going on. I don't ever check anything ever. So
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: the day that the fire happened, one of my New
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Year's resolutions I quit smoking in late December, and I said,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I'm going to walk ten thousand steps every day, so
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I'm outside. I walked probably five miles the day. The
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: air quality wassolutely the worst, no mask, no nothing, but
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: it felt just like normal walking because all the benefits
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: of quitting smoking canceled out all the detriments of breathing
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: in the poisoned fumes.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, I've been trying to work
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: out more and I went for a pretty intense walk
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: on a morning this week when I probably shouldn't have, like,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, And I even started out and I was like, yeah,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: this is fine. I don't even smell smoke. And by
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the end it smelled like the city I live in
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: was fucking on fire.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: That you were inside a campfire.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was nuts.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: You were fucking Adam smore Brown.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's bad. It hasn't been as bad for me
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: because I live a good distance away but still in
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: La County. But I definitely there's definitely people who've had
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: to flee who are yea the network. I have a
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: friend who lost her house in Alta Dina, one of.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: The coolest free I've always wanted to move to Alta Dina.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: That was my cool secret neighborhood that I was going
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: to be a cool old man in go to the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: record store. I had it all planned out. Now, well,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: maybe property values might be lower, so.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably afford it now.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The Altadena fire was especially crazy because it started
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: in the mountains, but because of those winds, it was
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: just pushed into the urban areas everywhere.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was good. That was the one that
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I feel like went like deepest into. Maybe the Pacific
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Palisades was was just bigger, just by the sheer side
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: size of it. But that one like really just penetrated
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: like where people live, not like like weirdos that there's
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: like there's all there's all these weird houses in the
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: hills in LA that have been owned by one old
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: kookie family for one hundred years or whatever the fuck.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: But this was this was just like a hood, just
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: like a low, just like a local. Fucking this is
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: like where people live. I don't know how to put
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: it in that, you know.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, even the Malibu fire, I don't think anyone with
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: beachfront property was expecting their house burn in a.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Wild forest fire. Yeah, that's insane, And.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what happened. All these houses along the beach
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: burned down, and yeah, it's been an event and it's
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: still ongoing. The wind is supposed to kick back up
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: today as people listen to this. The winds are supposed
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: to get pretty crazy again.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: But fearing that California, our finest unpaid inmates are doing
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: their very best to fight the blaze.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So of course there are a lot
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: of conspiracy there. Oh I should mention I'm glad you're okay,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you're safe. At first, I thought we couldn't
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: record this because I asked if you were free or
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: if you'd be fleeing fires, and you were like, I'm free,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: but I'll be fleeing fires. So I took that to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: mean we couldn't record. When the truth is Connor is
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: in a van right now, flames at the fucking.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Bumper undisclosed secure location, Adam, thank.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: You on road to bring you content.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: At my grandma's house, explaining to her over and over
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: and over again that we don't know if it was
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: arson that started the fire. My grandmother's gone seen island.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: She was just staring at the TV, like, oh, it's
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: so horrible. People light those fires. It's awful, and we're like,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: we don't know if it was people delute the fires.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Twenty seconds later, Oh my god, people just light those
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: fires anyway.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Kenneth fire they've determined was arson,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: but beyond that, I don't.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they have a person of interest.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a homeless person with a flamethrower. I heard them
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: described as which imagine that being the last possession you
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: hold on to.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, your flamethrower. This is my boring company, Elon Musk flamethrower.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: It was a limited drop. It's technically a welding torch,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: and you could pry it from a cold dead almost
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: hrs exactly.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: That guy let the Kenneth fire.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Sorry unhoused hand right, Yeah, no, I was gonna say,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: he's been talking all kinds of shit about this, and
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: we'll get to it in a minute. But Elon Musk
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: was a guy who made it. Flamethrowers ridicially available to
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: the American public for a fairly low, right, three hundred
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: bucks or something.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were very affordable. The only reason I don't
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: have one is they sold out super quick.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, shit, same here, Like.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I would have definitely bought a flamethrower, You fucking kidding me?
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Of course I would have turned into one of those
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: like you know, you ever meet like the liberal who's like, ah,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: you know, he's a piece of shit, but he makes
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: a good car. I would be like, eh, you know,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: he's kind of a douchebag, but I love to light
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: things on fire.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Like a flamethrower feels like the spray bottle for cats,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: but for intruders, like someone breaks in, you just set
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: that thing off once and they're getting the fuck out
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: of there a sleep as long as you don't set
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the house on fire.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Obviously, that that is a perfect analogy. What the fuck
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: are you going to do? You know, just so it
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: could be busted out a three section staff and do
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: a bunch tricks, like I don't know if he can
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: hurt me with that, but I don't want to find out.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, it's me taking on an intruder. So
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: there's conspiracy theories about these fires, obviously, and almost all
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: of them are kind of stupid.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of hogwash today.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Shockingly, Trump comes through at the end with the
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: one that is the.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Most the most salient.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Believable, which we're living in the upside down everybody.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, broken clocks right twice a day and
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: he has been breaking out one of my favorite nicknames
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: of newscum, Gavin Neuscumb. It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: but to see it written is just perfect.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Gavin Newsom is one of those Democrats that I
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: just think Russhom Newsom, I just have zero sympathy for
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: that guy.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I love to watch him fail and be derided
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: and to see him going to the fucking fancy restaurant
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: in Covid and all this. He's just he just thinks
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I fucking hate that he's going to be the nominee
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: and most likely you know, like, I'm just, I'm just
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: why do I keep having to see this motherfucker's face.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, apparently the onion ran aheadline after the fires that
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: said Gavin Newsom spotted eating in the ashes.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Of No Boot, which it's funny.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: That is the thing that kind of put me off
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: on Gavin Newsom was issuing that stay at home order
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: and then being at French laundry the same night unmasked.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: It's like, man, you are the tom like you.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Know working in TV. I've met and kind of gotten
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: to know a decent number of like what I would say,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: very rich people, people that have more than five million
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: dollars and they just want to go to a nice restaurant.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: It is that is like their entire world is the
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: good table at a nice place, and it's it was
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: all that these people. I'm so hard and at the
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: same names, but it was all these people talked about
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: during COVID. Oh that's good, and it was yeah, just
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: kind of funny what people's priorities are when you get rich.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's nuts.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: It has been kind of at least this is affected
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: mostly the rich, you know.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I brought that up. We did an episode. I mean,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: this week's you don't even like this show was also
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: about the fires, but not the conspiracy theories around them,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: and I brought that same thing up. It's not like
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: not so much with Alta, Dina, but Palisades and Malibu.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: It sucks what happened, but that's a lot of people
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: who they'll at least be able to rebuild.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that probably have insurance and fucking all that shit,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, there are also some people who insurance companies
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: have refused to renew their policies because of all this,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: and those people are fucked and that's a whole different thing.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: But at least the wildfire stayed away from Echo Park
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: and Watts And yeah.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Like it's not burning through south central Los Angeles. I
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: appreciate that.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's nice for one thing.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: It would be bare bin down on me if it was,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: because I'm way closer to that than I am to
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Alta Dina or Palisades.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah like that. People are calling it the socialist wildfires.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So let's talk about these conspiracy theories.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, theories.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: One of the most prominent, or the one I found
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: the first, which it must be the most prominent if
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I found it the first. These fires were started by
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: a directed energy weapon. There are two reasons people are
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: saying this. One. There was video going around of an
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: object flying through the skies above the LA fires, and
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: for the life of me, I cannot imagine what that
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: object would have been. Surely not a drone operated by
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: some fuckface who eventually crashed it into one of the
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: only two useful planes we had for fighting these fires.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Did you hear about that?
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I did that. Someone hit one of the super
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: scoopers that goes I love the super Scooper. That's the
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: coolest part of any fucking wild part.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: So cool.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Dru flies out to the ocean, gets way down load,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: drops a shoot, scoops up a bunch of water, and
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: then goes and poops it out on the fire. I mean,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: what could be better than that? And some dipshit like
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: fucking crashes drone and the propeller fucked it all up.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we had two of them from Canada that were
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: helping to fight this fire, and some ass wipe with
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: a drone crash they're drone into one of them and
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: put a big asshole in the side of the tank.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: And now we only have one of those.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Whatever happened to Hawkham's razor. We never fucking assumed the simplest,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: most likely explanation to anything anymore. Everything is the fucking
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: conspiracy theory. It's it's like, I don't know everyone's playing
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: our tune now, Adam, Yeah, but they're not. They don't
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: know the notes. It's like, oh, it couldn't possibly be
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: one of the hundreds of models of readily available, easy
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: to fly and use commercial flying machines that exist at
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: your local fucking target. No, it's a saddle with a
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: space laser. You fucking what are you fucking stupid?
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine how many drones were flying over these fires.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Oh of course anybody with the drone was going to
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: be trying to get, you know, the shot.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: So that video is meaningless to me. I haven't even
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: seen the video, but I don't fucking need to see it.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: The other thing people pointed to is all of these
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: pictures of palm trees looking like they're completely intact and
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: undamaged while everything burns around them. So people are like, see,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: it was a directed energy weapon. No, it's not. Trees
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: actually survive shit like this all the time. I remember
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: we talked about the theory that there might have been
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: like an ancient nuclear war that happened. Yes, yeah, on
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: one of the very first episodes.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: I remember that.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: One one of the things people always point to is, well,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: there's still structures standing from then. There wouldn't be structure
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: standing if there was a nuclear blast that went off.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: And my push back to that is always look at
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: those early nuclear weapon tests. You see these explosions happen
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: and trees just end a little bit and they like
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: don't even get blown over.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think in two thousand BC and Mesopotamia.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I don't think they were using like standards stucco and
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: dry wall for any of this shit. I think it
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: was more like stone and adobe and like really like
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: actually durable building materials.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, stuff that gets harder when it gets hot, you know.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's probably made major house better. Oh thank
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: you you fast fired my house.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: And with fires, trees, for one thing, just inherently contain
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of moisture, and their bark over the years
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: has kind of developed or you know, evolved to prepare
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: for fires.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Did you ever try to build a fire with
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: just like wood you got from like the fucking florest.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: It's like it's like wet, it doesn't burn, it pops.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: It's like really difficult to get going. Yeah.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Water really is scryptonite. I saw a guy on local
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: LA news. He saved his house by buying a couple
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: of those sprinklers you put on your lawn that go
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: back and forth. And he just put him on his
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: roof and left and the fire you could see, made
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: its way to his house and like stopped and fanned
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: out to the left and right.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: I just went around it. Wow.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and every house in front of his like down
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: the canyon was saved because he had those sprinklers on
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: his roof.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: So fucking like, what forty five dollars investment to save
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: your entire house? What a fucking g.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's I could not believe that fucking story.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: So yeah, sometimes trees aren't gonna burn. And then there's
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: also a ton of videos of trees burning too.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and well, in palm trees, like they shed a
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: layer of skin, you know, those weird like palm tree
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: like dan like like like a scab that comes off
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: of them, like they get dry. But I think like
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: a lot of like the core of them is where
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: the water is, it's hard to burn. So if there's
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: not a bunch of dry shit around them to like
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: act as kindling, I don't like it totally make sense
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: that a palm tree would be left standing.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the thing that would burn would be the canopy.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: The stuff way up high and top right, and with a.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Fire like this, the heat is usually at ground level.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: There are the ones that are there's videos of some
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: palm trees burning though, and those just got hit by
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: fire that was up high enough, probably embers flying.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, some of those mile mile long embers we were
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: talking about.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those embers bucked people up. That was That's what
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: really did a lot of people in because again the winds,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: that's what makes it so different. So, yeah, trees not
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: burning is not proof that this was a directed energy weapon.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: But there's more to it than that. The thinking isn't
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: just that they were set deliberately, but there was a
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: purpose behind it. Here is a quote from a very
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: coherent social media post. Los Angeles Pacific Palisades is totally
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: engulfed in flames and very interestingly, LA is positioned to
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: be an AI smart city by twenty twenty eight. Was
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: it a targeted dew strike to grab up some more
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: precious land end quote? So the thinking here is LA
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: is burning its communities down so it can rebuild them
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: as smart cities in time for the twenty twenty eight Olympics.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I guess I want to say sincerely that it's the
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: government is going around burning down billionaires homes and one
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Los Angeles with a
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: space laser so they can replace them with sustainable urban
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: planning and affordable housing. Then, for the first time ever,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Connormspad and says, go the government.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: That's actually fine.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: You have my fucking backing. You only had eleven cattles too.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: You did this shit pretty clean.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah that I mean, this wouldn't be the most
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: nefarious conspiracy theory. It's what people want, you know, eat
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: the rich. Maybe eat is just a metaphorical thing that
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: means burn their house soon, you know, So when.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Is it a fire eats away at a hillside.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we can put a smart city up. But
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: also I feel like if this was a thing, there
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: have to be cheaper ways to turn a city into
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: a smart city that don't involve burning everything to the
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: ground and starting over. And also why start in the Palisades.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not like an urban center. It's all pretty
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: spread out, you know, it's like it's sort of suburban,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: but like just in the with a slightly rural backdrop.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there are towns and cities in California already that
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: could probably just be adapted to that kind of thing.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know, A fifteen minute city sounds great.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: It does sound great. I do think that if they
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: were going to do it, sincerely, they might just go
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: cut down the trees and sell the lumber or use
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: it or you.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Know, yeah, that would make way more sense.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Although I suppose then you've got to get through the
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Pacific Palisades Homeowner Association, which I imagine is like Darth
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Vader's fucking conference room.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's going to be a rich
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: goddamn room.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: That is a fuddy duddy environment.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, the fifteen minute city thing.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's heavy handed, even for the government.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't know it's they could just do it,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: like the government has no problem taking land. We're gonna
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: take fucking greenland probably.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Like okay, how does that sound?
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I don't notice that excessive system clutter is detected on
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: my computer. Now I'm self conscious.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: I must feel that malware I've been sending you.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Problems trojan horses from the government, and shit.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: I gotta say, every time we sit down to do
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Conspiracy the Show, and I'm like typing up like my
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: little notes and jokes, I'm going to say reading the notes,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Adam broke, my computer is never slower than when I'm
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: doing Conspiracy the Show. Shits. It always is fucking glacially
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: molasses slow. Every time I'm questioning the floor.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Bed's trying to hold us down. They can't. Speaking of
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: people he can't hold down, let's talk about Diddy. Diddy,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: he's got a lot going on right now.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Or as I call him, Blepstein. No, that's not going
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: to stick.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: He has a whole lot of concerns right now. Chief
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: among them his home in the Pacific Palisades is at
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: risk of catching on fire.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: It seems the final winner of the freak of was
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: the flames mister Diddy.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: And one of the houses the police raided when he
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: got charged with sex trafficking was this home in the Palisades.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: So that has gotten people to wondering where these fires
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: set intentionally to destroy evidence in the ditty case. And
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: I feel like the weirdest part of this is that
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: this theory is coming from a former HUD official in
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: the George H. W. Bush administration. So this woman's like
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: a thousand years old.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: And like I've I've read kind of a lot about
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Bush and Cheney, I've never heard of this woman. She's
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: a real zilch, you know, like she's got no name,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: no credibility.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Catherine Austin Fitz. She was Assistant Secretary of Housing and
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Urban Development, or housing. Okay, if anyone's asking, and this
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: is her quote on her own podcast, In situations like
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: the LA fires, I look at patterns. I look at
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: some of the communities involved, how many of the homeowners
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: were on the p Diddy list end quote.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Again, it's heavy handed. We're not just trick. If you're
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: gonna burn down Ditty's house, don't burn down all of
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: California just to cover Well.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Also, it seems like she's suggesting, well, all these celebrities
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: lived around, did he, So most of them probably went
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: to his parties, and some of them are obviously going
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: to be involved in all the sex trafficking, and so
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: these fires were set to destroy that evidence. And it's
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: like they could just destroy the evidence. Why would you
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: right burn their fucking city down? If any evidence existed
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: in these houses, it all got burned in a fucking
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: oil barrel fire the minute this dude went to prison.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody had dumped some hydrochloric acid out in the
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: woods and that was that.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no way anyone's holding on to that shit
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: just hoping the FBI doesn't show up and find it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: This is yeah, And I got to figure, like, you're
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: in a situation like this where you have whatever. You're
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: a rich guy with compromising shit in your house that
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: lends you to P Diddy. You've installed a big red
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: button that says burn it that you pressed immediately when
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: P Diddy was incarcerated.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we did an episodisode of the you Don't Even
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Like This Band Podcast. I don't know why I didn't
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: do this on the Conspiracy Pod. But are you familiar
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: with what's going on with Pras Michelle from.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: The fujis No.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: He is facing twenty two years in prison on espionage charges. Okay,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: and the story is nuts. It starts with him showing
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: up at the Four Seasons in Manhattan, walking up to
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: a concierge who he was told to say the word banana.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: To eyes wide shuts.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: He says the word banana. The guy hands him an
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: envelope that has instructions that say walk around the block
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: twice and then come back. He does that and gets
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: ushered into an elevator and taken to a penthouse where
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: he meets one of the top officials in the Chinese government.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: That's all whoa real shit. Yeah, he basically sold the
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: photo op with Obama for twelve million dollars, and that's
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: why he's gonna go.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, that makes sense. That's that's the kind of
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: fuck and shit that Proz could get into, all right.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: But the reason I bring that up is you mentioned,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: you know, the red button you push that actually happened
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: in this case one of the people involved in it,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: who is still a fugitive, I believe when the FED
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: showed up to raid his apartment in Manhattan, it got
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: remotely detonated and destroyed, which is the coolest fucking thing
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: I've ever heard.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is pretty cool to have, like a fucking
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: shred it, burn it, blow it up button that you can.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Now, I'm upset that I don't have any incriminating evidence
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: to uh fun.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I only I mean what, I don't know
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: what a what kind of budget I have for incriminating evidence.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I just have to put it in one of those
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: barbasol cans that's actually.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Like hide your weed in. Yeah.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Also, this theory, what are people missing about the FBI
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: already raided this house, do we think, Yeah, right, raided
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: the house, and we're like, oh, that incriminat and I
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: hope this place doesn't burn down before we come back
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: and get it, Like they took everything. There's nothing in
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: that house.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: That was a huge case. They probably had soon our
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: imaging and going into the ground to see if anyone
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: was buried there. Like, I'm sure they went over everything
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: with a fine tooth fucking comb.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Like a fine tooth combs saw combs.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Uh uh ah. Word play, because say what you will
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: about the FBI and you know, incarcerating some of our
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: homies and killing some of our other homies, say they're
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: pretty meticulous. You got to give them that.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I imagine if there was any concern that there
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: was something in this house in need of saving, the
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: FBI would just go in and get it. So yeah,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: this is another dumb ass theory that makes no goddamn sense.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: No one who would have incriminating evidence is just going
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: to keep it and then burn their entire town down
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: to hide it. Nuts us.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think like And also I think part of
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: like turning our internet take economy into whoever says the
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: craziest thing wins has maybe not turned out to be
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: the best moves going forward for news and all. That
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: shit is not just a munch of no name fucking
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Republican barnacles this woman's a fucking barnacle. She's she's like
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: the ancient Hud, this assistant to the ancient Hud. Never
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: heard of her before in my goddamn life, and now
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: she's trying to make a name for herself with this
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: kaka mami theory, which is what everybody does. Oh yeah,
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: I'm the guy who fucking blew up with this cockamami theory,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and people will stick with that shit no
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: matter what. And in this case also, you were also
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: getting that thing where people just like intentionally misinterpret words
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: to make it fit their theory. One of Diddy's accusers,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: a woman named Ali Carter in October twenty twenty four,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: people claim, predicted these fires after saying a lot was
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: about to come out, there would be another arrest, and
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: then she says.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: This, I'll give it you this sort of weird. It's
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: sort of weird. But if you think about it for
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: ten seconds, Yeah, like, it's sort of weird that you
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: chose a fire analogy, I guess, but.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it reminds me of someone at one point tweeted,
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant is going to die in a helicopter crash
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: someday and They tweeted that because it was well known
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: that Kobe Bryant commuted to and from.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: His helicopter rounds it lived in Orange County. Yeah, went
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: to it like we were trying to get him on
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: our show Lights Out with David Spade, but we couldn't
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: get the helipad things sorted out. We couldn't find a
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: place for his helicopter.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Oh shit. Yeah, So that like that person was just
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: like guessing and doing it as a joke in it.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: You know, it turned out in this case, this is
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: what Ali Carter said, watch for those fires. Explosions make
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: fires too. Explosions make accidental fires too. And then cops,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: you don't know how that happened. Then you look into it,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: you see that it's tied to something that's tied to
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: something that's tied to something that's tied to traffic, and
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: then you realize, oh, it wasn't just an explosion or
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: a fire. It wasn't an accident. End quote. I don't
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: think she's actually talking about fires and definitely not wild fires.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: I would love to see the rest of the interview
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: or the rest of the quote, but it's just it
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: seems so clear that she's talking about the story breaking
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: as being the explosion.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Diddy arrest is the explosion, and then the
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: fires will be the other arrests. That's all she's saying.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: She's not saying there's gonna be wild fires in California
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: if jay Z's gonna get arrested. This isn't gonna stop it.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: I know one thing, I'm never gonna ever put things
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: in terms of an avalanche of evidence for a blizzard
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: of accusations.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: But I mean, if you do, you might get famous.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Or that could be good for the show.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Actually having predicted some shit, nothing wrong with that.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: You predict it all the time, you never get famous.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a goddamn excellent point. All right, this
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: next one, firefighters Connor are using women's handbags instead of
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: hoses to fight fires.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Boy, I'm ready to write a Kim Allen.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Bit because a budget cuts.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's right, liberal budget cuts.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: And for some reason this specifically is Democrats diverted funds
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: to Ukraine and now la firefighters are using women's handbags
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: to fight fires because you know how cheap women's handbags are.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Obviously, yeah you don't want to, you know, fuck up,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: just like some some bulk canvas material you might get
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: at a fabriage store for like a large, you know,
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: gross rate. You want to you want to get like
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: a like a like a fucking real Dior Louis Vaitton,
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: something that'll last.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I just love that line of thinking, like, well,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: I want to I want to make this seem like
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: a problem, but I also want to make California seem
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: gay when I spread this theory too.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's this is all this stuff is kind of
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: cut out for people that hate, you know, like we
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: want to use California as a scapegoat for why liberalism
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: is going to fail or whatever, which you will.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's going to fail. It's going to fall
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: into the ocean for sure. But that's just going to
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: be Rancho Palace verdes at first and then.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then pretty soon, like Bill Hicks said, where
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: this is all going to be Arizona Bay beachfront property
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: for Arizona A very good album. Yeah.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: So this video that's going around it actually just shows
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: firefighters using a regular piece of firefighter equipment because what
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: they're fighting in this video is I heard it described
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: as a garbage fire, but it looks like a garden
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: fire either. Way, what you got to take into account
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: about California, there's a lot of swimming pools, and a
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: lot of times if you need to fight a fire
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: in say a backyard, that pool full of water is
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: very useful in doing that. So what these firefighters are
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: doing is actually, I'm guessing, scooping pool water with these
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: canvas bags and throwing it on this fire. Yeah, it's
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: just a thing they do because it's quicker than setting
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: up a hose for a really small.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Fire, and you can use them to tamp the fire out.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: I mean everyone is like put out a small fire
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: with a fucking sheet of something, you know. Yeah, and uh,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: it's it's also kind of like, I don't know, I
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: should call it like ironic, I guess is a word
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: that all these like right wing bros are like shitting on.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: What's literally a part of their kit is tactical equipment,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: the whole thing that their whole fucking deal is about.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Guys have velcrow on their fucking going out pants just
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: because they've gotta be fucking tactical. Man, what if I
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: need my four thousand lumen flash light when I go
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: to apple beets?
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those motherfuckers probably have these bags in their fucking
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: survival kit.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: It's gay when they use them in California though, sorry man,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: good so.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that video does not show California firefighters using women's handbags.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: And again, where would the women's handbags come from? That
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: would require budget money too, or do our firefighters just
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: carry women's hand bags? That where you're getting at?
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Is there like a firefighter that's like, all right, Barry,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: go hit the thrift shops. We need a new run
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: of bags, kind of getting beat up. Oh man, can
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: you look for something floral for me?
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Well, surely this next one is accurate, though, you know
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: what would to stop these fires? Connor?
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: What's that?
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Adam more white dudes? Probably this is a DEI failing,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: is what it is.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: M That makes a lot of sense because three percent
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: of the firefighters in Los Angeles are female.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Exactly just teaming with DEI hires.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: But they've fucked it up so bad they fucked it
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: up ninety those three percent email firefighters.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk has been especially active in spreading this claim.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: He's literally doing DEI with his H one BVSA. He's
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: literally being like, we need more diversity.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: But that's to his benefit, so it works out. Yeah,
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: sorry this He circulated screenshots of the LA Fire Department's
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: four year old racial equity Action Plan and added the
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: caption they prioritized dei over saving lives and homes. What
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: what does that even mean?
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine that's in the racial equity action plan.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Hire more black people first, before you fight a fucking fire, motherfucker. Yeah.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you don't have a racially diverse firefighting platoon,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: that home burns. Sorry.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like Ross dressed for less when I worked there
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: as a teenager, Like you would post shit in the
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: bulletin board, and if I picked the right in one
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: of those that could have been, like, well, Ross is
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: just all about canned food drives for the homeless man.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: They put that above selling clothes.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and as luck would have it, the current LA
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Fire chief is an openly gay woman. Sure, she's also
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: a twenty two year veteran of the fire department, but
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: still it's a gag.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Of course, that's why I thought she was kind of cute.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Of course she's gay.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so she's definitely a diversity hire from twenty two
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: years ago. Yeah, and yeah, I just this is a
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: quote from Charlie Kirk because boy does he deserve to
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: have his words heard. When you focus your government on diversity, equity, inclusion,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: LGBTQ pet projects and you are captured by environmentalists. We've
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: been warning for years that you are worried about abstractions,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: but you can't do the basic stuff. End quote captured.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers used that word recently on the Pat McAfee show.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is such a right wing fuck face.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, I would agree that we do like a
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: word ourselves with abstractions when we can't do basic things,
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: but everything else is pretty Uh. I don't know these
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: these people. These people are so transparent, like they're trying
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: to gin up that fucking feeling of being cheated in
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: people so that they can follow them. You know. Look,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: actually it's the white guy getting fucked. I just found
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: out about it ten minutes ago. We got to do something.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: And this is such standard operating procedure for right wingers now.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Anytime anything even sort of tragic happens in a state
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: that is even sort of controlled by Democrats. Yeah, DEI
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: is the reason it happened. When the fucking door blew
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: off that Boeing plane. Fox News asked if it was
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: maybe because of.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: The well and with a lot of these issues, like
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: ninety nine out of one hundred times, it's not that
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: like white people are getting fucked, it's that poor people
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: are getting fucked. Yes, and you and now I have
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: convinced you that it's white people. Well, you've missed the
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: point entirely and will do nothing productive to change it. Yep,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: you bought back in on capitalism and the whole fucking thing.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: You know, And imagine with that Boeing thing, blaming DEI
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: and not just blaming Boeing. A whistle blower shot himself
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: in the parking lot of his motel over that shit, Like,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: we know why that door blew off that Boeing plane.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: It's not DEI hires. It's because they are hiring too
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: many people with not enough people to oversee them. It's
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: pretty fucking simple. And also because they're hiring gay women.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: So just a budget touch an apathy all the way down. Huh.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just dog whistle bullshit. Laura Ingraham has been
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: especially active pushing this on Fox News.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: We shouldn't say that Ingraham, we should call her Ingraham,
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: No Ingram Ingraham.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Oh is that? Yeah? I don't even know how you
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: pronounce her fucking name? Is it Ingram?
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: I've heard Ingram, but maybe I'm wrong on the internet.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Just when you said Ingraham, I was like, yeah, fuck you,
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: your name's Ingraham now, stupid bitch.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't have that A in the middle. It's not
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: what you put that for you thy Yeah, you don't
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: want me to say it, don't put it there.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not the only thing about you that's got
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: two a's your fucking bra Laura. I don't know. Maybe
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: she's got big t's. I have no idea. I don't
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: know what she looks like.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Who knows. Mel Gibson talk about him.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Oh this is good. Yeah, we've got to talk about mouse.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: His name has popped up in all this, and shockingly,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: it's not because of Jewish space lasers.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah shots really shockingly.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: He was on The Ingraham Angle on Friday night to
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: talk about the idea that these fires were set on purpose. Why.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: He'll tell you why. Here goes. California has a lot
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: of problems that sort of baffle the mind as far
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: as why they do things, and then in the events
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: like this, you sort of think, well, is it on purpose?
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: It's an insane thing to think, but one begins to
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: ponder whether or not there is a purpose in mind.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: I can make all kinds of horrible theories up in
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: my head, conspiracy theories and everything else, but it just
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: seemed a little convenient end quote. I trust no one
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: needs any further explanation than that.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, I would have thought that the first climate
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: refugee of global warming and climate change would be mel Gibson.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: I thought it was going to be some Eskimo who's
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: fucking house melted or some shit.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Nope, Mel Gibson. He did lose his house in this fire,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: and that really speaks to what I'm saying about this
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: hitting a lot of rich people. He's very nonchalant about it.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: He's like, I don't have my shit anymore. Yeah, I'm
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Mel Gibson. It's fine and it will be fine. But
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: he also asked if people were commissioned to start these fires.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I keep looking at this quote, and it
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: makes less sense the more I read it.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's really just saying. What's crazy about it is
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: that he's getting a national television platform.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah to say this like conflicted, confusing, probably like subtly
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: racist thing.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's like nothing behind this theory. He's just like, well,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: I hate Democrats, so.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: He's sort of just going like, shit's weird. Man. I
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: don't know, it could be anything, man.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: And again, I mean, aside from building smart cities, if
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Democrats were going to start fires, why would they do
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: it in California? Like, there's other states that I think
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: we would burn down first.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Zone's got a lot of beautiful for us. We could
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: totally burn. Yeah.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean we can send hurricanes and things. I
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: don't know if we can get one to Arizona, but
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: you know, yeah.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: The government, the government has a hurricane gun.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we control the weather. That's why Kamala Harris won
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: because Democrats sent that hurricane to all the Republican leaning
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: areas in the American Southwest to sway the election. Nice trilibs.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: I like to imagine sometimes people are kind of like
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: tuning in and out of the show, and they they
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: don't really register one we're being so sarcastic or not,
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: and they're like, oh shit, I didn't even if Adam says, well,
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: maybe they did.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's got to be happening out there, and I'm sorry,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah I do it a lot more than you, So
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: I'm sure I've gotten responsible for more misinformation.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: So the last one that I want to talk about,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: I feel like Gavin Newsom has enough working against him
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: that you shouldn't have to make shit up to criticize him.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: So many of these people, if you just took the
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: actual quotes and the actual effects, it's plenty.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But also I don't know if that's completely what's
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: happening here. What happened after these fires started, Trump went
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: on Fucking Truth social and called out Gavin Newsom, saying he,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: among other things, quote, refused to sign the water restoration
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: gallons of water to float daily into many parts of
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: California end quote. And the pushback for Newsom's office was
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: that there is no such document as the water restoration Declaration.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: They said that is pure fiction, and a local news
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: outlet also mentioned that since Newsom has been in office,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: there has not been legislation that would do what Trump
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: is describing, and that's sort of true. But all he's
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: referring to is a twenty nineteen proposal by the Trump
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: administration that would have redirected water from the Sacramento San
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Joaquin River Delta to Central Valley farms and southern California
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: urban areas, and there ended up being lawsuits filed over
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: it by officials in California and by environmental groups because
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: it was going to impact a fish called the smelt.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: You ever ate smelt?
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I've never had a smelt. I never had a smelt.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Melt smelt is it's sort of I mean in terms
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: of size, it's it's like an anchovy or a sardine
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: in size, and it's They fuck with them in Spain
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: a lot. But I've also heard it's like poor people
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: food in Spain. But it's just like a really small fish.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Usually fry it, bred it and fry it, and then
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: you can just eat it whole. The bones are like
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: so soft you just eat the.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: Whole thing, so like a soft shell crab. Gross.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh it's actually pretty pretty fucking delicious.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: Oh really it's good. Okay.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: People didn't want to be without them, apparently, I've never
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: seen one in California. You could get it at grocery stores.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: In the Midwest where I grew up, it was a
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: very common thing. But all these lawsuits were filed over
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: this plan and it got shut down.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: I do kind of love that Trump was like, it's
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: a stupid fish. Nobody likes the fish. The fish is bad,
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: very bad, salty fish.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: And the thing is that's probably what he's referring to.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: So to say that nothing like this ever existed isn't
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: completely accurate. But in December, Biden and Gavin Newsom signed
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: off on new regulations that do the exact same thing.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: They divert water to the same places you would think,
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: except without the environmental concerns. But no, this, if I'm
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: reading it correctly, is just going to kill salmon instead
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: of smelt.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, well we got more of those, I guess.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: So everyone's lying here. Basically, Gavin Newsom's office isn't being
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: completely truthful when they say there was never any legislation
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: like this, and Trump is lying when he says no
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: plan like this ever got put in place. Granted just
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: got put in place in December, but that's still before
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: the fires barely.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: I just I do like that we're at a point
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: with climate change that we're like, look, which do we
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: like more penguins or the brown bear? We got to decide,
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: because I mean, it's one of the other gangs.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: It really is. And yeah, I don't know. I mean
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: I like smelt and salmon both, but I eat way
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: more salmon, So.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, salmon is I think the class here. I want
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: to eat this bone in fish, and I think you
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: lose a lot of people with that.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: No, you're not. You don't even taste it. It's like
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: it's like not even there. It's like not even cartilage
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: consistency like that, it might not even beat, might as
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: well not even be a bone.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: It's just okay, all right, I fuck with a smell.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: You know, I got a little too much autism in
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: my system for uh, some of this food you're talking
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: about here, But I am happy for you. Yeah.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Now I got to track down some smelt. Where's that
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: water getting diverted? To go fucking get me some wildfire smelt.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: My old man actually works for the Metropolitan Water District,
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: dealing with all of this shit his whole life, and
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: uh documenting rivers and dams and man made lakes and
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: all the ship and as I understand it, like the
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: vast lion share majority of California's water comes from the
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: Colorado River and everything else is just a bunch of like,
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: you know, we're China Township.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Do you remember when we did the burn Booth episode
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: in Santa Cruz, Oh yeah, yeah, and one of the
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: nights before that, or maybe it was the night of
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: we did a show at a wine.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Bar and it's terrible show if I recall correctly.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still one of the worst shows I've ever
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: been a part of. I did my set sitting down
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: because I just wanted to whenever match the audience's energy.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: And at one point I was just like, the fuck
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: is wrong with you people, And someone sitting like five
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: feet from me was like, LA steals all our water.
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like we.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Needed to do cool shit.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: You know, there's all kinds of signs when you drive
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: up and down the grape vine, like they took our water,
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: which they probably I mean, they probably did. I'm not trying.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: I shouldn't. I shouldn't use my belittling accents for these
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: people in this situation. Yeah, but I also was reading
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: that there's a bunch of private companies that so I
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: heard fifty seven percent of LA's water is owned by
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: the wonderful company that makes that like pomegranate juice, which
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: is owned by a billionaire couple called the Resnicks, and
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: they actually it's what I read was that they export
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: drinking water from more agricultural counties like Current County where
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: Fresnel is down to LA which is is kind of fucked.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is pretty fucking wild. I didn't know any
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: of that. We should do an episode about.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: That, We should, Yeah, I just I kind of blew
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: my mind as first of all, that pomegranate juice had
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: that much power. I've never seen anyone drink pomegranate juice
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: in my life.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, got that antioxidant power. That's all I know about pomegranates.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: Who the fuck even those what antioxidants do?
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: No clue?
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: Nobody, not men clue, no clue.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Anti inflammatory, sure, no idea. I don't feel any I
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: feel fine.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not trying to get inflamed.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that for now is I think all of
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: the conspiracy theories about these wildfires. I'm sure there will
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: be more.
• 47:02

  Speaker 3: you know, about a week in.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't know the cause of most of them yet.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: There's I think the cande of fire they determined was arson,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: but beyond that, the Palisades fire. All I've heard is
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: it started in someone's garden, in their backyard, and a
• 47:23

• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Jewish space laser either.
