Investigate Earth Conspiracy Podcast - LA Fires: Palisades Fires Conspiracy | California's Complete Incompetence

Episode Date: January 10, 2025

In this episode, we’re joined by our good friend Sam to discuss the devastating LA Fires and Palisades Fires. We delve into the state of California’s complete and utter incompetence, exploring how this disaster was even possible and the critical lessons voters in California can take away from it. Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this tragedy, and we hope this disaster serves as a wake-up call for the people of California.

Hello, I never got it, why'd you have to go. I guess this world's too slow for you. I think there's beauty in the gray, the cold, but you just want the gold. And there's no way I can beat it because I got no chance, no chance when it comes to her. She got the glitter and the fame, and I just wasn't enough for you. Hello and welcome to Investigator with podcast. I'm your host chat alongside my beautiful wife, Sherry. On tonight's episode, we're talking about the LA fires.

I mean, it's just something else that seems apocalyptic in 2025. We started 2025 and we were like, hey, maybe this year will be better. And it hasn't been so far. Guys, I know I sound like complete shit right now. So excuse me, but I have been sick. I got laryngitis. I'm coming off the backside. of that, but we do have a very special guest on the show tonight to help me with my voice and

Sherry, which is Sam. Sam, welcome to the show. You're a long time listener and a very good friend of ours. You've been on the show a couple times. How are you doing? I am well, glad to be back. Yeah, we're glad to have you back. And Sherry, welcome. Sherry has not murdered me so far. I've tried not to, but it's become close to. I guess, yeah, close. Yeah. Well, anyway so it's been a pretty pretty hard three weeks and we've got to talk to Sam here and there because Sam's I think Sam

you got sick like a week ago I don't know you're probably doing better than I am right now but there's been a lot of people sick it just seems like everybody is sick right now Sam they are we all are they're killing us I'm convinced I think so too I think the drones are dropping these freaking missed the fog you remember

the fog game right which we still have not done a podcast on that yet which we're going to get to that. I know. I told you you need to do one on that. I don't know what's happening with that. Yeah, but maybe what you're hearing right now is the result of the fog. Because I swear to God, Sherry, you remember when we came, picked you up from the airport?

Yeah. It was so damn foggy. Oh, yeah. And it was foggy that whole weekend, even in Chicago. I couldn't see anything driving. Yeah, and then it's crazy. From you in Chicago and me here, and then even when Aaron, which is Fade's boyfriend came, and he's like, why's it so damn

foggy all of a sudden? I was like, I have no idea. We couldn't even see where the freaking road was to the airport. And I was like, and then everybody gets sick after this? What the hell? What are they dropping on us? I don't want to be a conspiracy there is. All I'm saying is all I'm saying is

that Dr. Fauci is on his damn way out and he's like, damn it, load the planes. Load the planes. Get the dogs and the cats. That's what I was going to say. Put the dogs and the cats on the planes. Dropped him out of the blades with the disease. Anyways, yeah.

So we've not had dogs and cats fall from airplanes, but we've had fog, potentially. That could have got me sounding like this. So that's all I'm saying. I'm not saying it's true. I'm saying allegedly, but whatever, dude.

But anyways, we have this massive, massive fire in Los Angeles, California and the surrounding areas. Actually, Sherry has a cousin that is a really, estate, I guess, mogul out there in Los Angeles. Yeah. Cherry has a lot of very rich people in her family.

I wonder why that is. Oh my God. Don't even go there, Chad. Please. But anyways, yes, my cousin officially lost his house and it was in the palace. That is sad. Yeah, it's very sad.

And I know it was a multi-million dollar house and it's gone in flames. I'm just hoping that fire insurance was not canceled on him prior to this happening because I'm hearing a lot of people lost their fire insurance prior to this fire. Doesn't that sound interesting, Sam? Sam, do you remember when all the people during Hurricane Helene and the mountains in North Carolina lost all their freaking insurance all of a sudden? Or their insurance wasn't covering, you know, their disasters to where they no longer had houses.

They're living in tents now. And all of a sudden, insurance was like, no, we're not covering it. It's a natural disaster. And FEMA was like, here's $750. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah, I wanted to tell everyone in California, hey, you got $750 coming to you. So I hope that helps.

Yeah, those Malibu houses, that should help. Sam, what do you think, what do you think, though, as far as the just insurance companies right now? I mean, we're going to get into that in a little bit. But it seems like insurance is not necessarily covering you as much as you think it is. Well, I think insurance in general has been a pretty hot topic as of late, especially if you're in the health insurance business. and you know insurance companies definitely are one of those areas that get a bad rep just in general but i will say that David has been talking about this on his podcast for a very long time because obviously he's in the insurance business and they are from california and so he has

been bringing this up for probably well over a year that California being California and as we've talked about before that they seem to want to do everything backwards and all of their priorities are just completely disorganized. Their regulatory standards for insurance and some different legislature or legislation that they passed has made it very difficult for insurance companies to operate in California. They have been trying to put some framework on them that's limiting their ability to raise premiums. But, you know, insurance functions in a particular way for a reason. It's a way to mitigate risk amongst a large group of people. So if you're in an area like California where you're faced with the situation of potential wildfires, that's a higher risk area.

So you have to be able to charge higher premiums to be able to cover. That's how insurance works. And California has been basically like choking these companies out to where they can't charge what they need to charge to be able to operate there. Obviously, they're in the business of being profitable. They don't want to lose money. They could clearly see the increased risk of these fires, whether or not L.A. or the whole state, can. I mean, you would think they would. They had all the information, but based on their actions, you would think they didn't. But they've made it so hard for them to operate that so they're

pulling out of there. And this has been happening for about the last year, kind of like one by one, these companies are moving out. And it's just a financial decision. And California just cannot seem to like get its bearings on how to manage a state. It's nuts to me. Yeah, that's a very interesting thing that you say. Yeah, that they're pulling out. But do you not think, oh, sorry, Chad, I just interrupt you. No, you're good. No, I was just going to say, the whole thing with that is, is that you have insurance companies. And it's like, you know that insurance companies have risk analyzers or risk mitigators, right?

And so these guys, their number one job in these insurance companies, especially State Farm and some of these massive companies. Yes, they have great freaking commercials that you see during, you know, football games or whatever. but they have dudes in these companies, dudes are women, whatever they are, they have these people to where their entire livelihood is based in risk mitigation. And their job is to say, okay, let's look at the situation. Let's look at state of California. Let's look at, for example, maybe what Trump said on the Juerre Hogan episode, which we'll get to in a minute.

Let's look at like their water sources. Let's look at their forest maintenance. Let's look at how they're maintaining their forest. Let's look at their water population, as they call it. Right. And then let's mitigate our risk based on what the likelihood, especially considering Sam and Sherry, a lot of these houses that are burning right now are like 10, 15, $20 million houses of celebrities.

So think about how much money that would be two companies, two insurance companies. And so like a couple of months back, they started having the initial forecast of these Santa Ana Wins, which is what we are getting right now in Southern California. They are Santa Ana Wins. Now, Santa Ana Wins are common in California. They happen almost every year.

It comes from, I believe, the west to the, or sorry, the east to the west. And when these Santa Ana Wins happen, especially in unfavorable conditions, because they have not had a lot of rain in this. And by the way, this is January. Yeah. And this is not even far season. Yeah, it does not normally even happen in January. No.

These fires. But for some reason, these risk analyzers of these insurance companies knew. They understood. And they might have even listened to Trump. They might have said, you know, let's listen to what Trump's saying. They're not allowing water here because they're political bullshit. Their climate change agendas. Yep.

And like, if they're not going to listen or it. least do what they can do to ensure safety to the residents of Southern California. Right. Then we got to pull out. Yeah. And that's what I was going to ask, Sam, is if they were able to regulate water and have water in the hydrants where they could at least take these fires out and maintain them to some point, like right now they're at zero detaining them at all.

Yeah, I mean, there's a couple of them. do anything. Like, I think there's one that's 40% contained or whatever. But if they were able to have this water flow going into California, would the insurance companies think twice about it. Oh, I'm sure they would. And, you know, to touch on just that whole issue about who they're listening to and whatnot, I don't think they're listening to Trump, but I think they're listening to the same people that Trump was talking with. It may be people who were even more of an expert on the issue than who he's been advised by. And those people are probably on their payroll because to your point,

the, I mean, capitalism, the bottom dollar, that's the bottom lines. That's what they're worried about. That's the whole game. And so it really paints a good picture when you look at the state of California in the way that they are completely mismanaging money. And if they were a company, they could not operate that way because their, their shareholders would be infuriated. the shareholders of California are essentially the citizens

and they're paying all of these taxes and the money is being completely mismanaged. If you want to know the good information about how things should be handled with stuff like that, you want to go to the insurance companies because they know, I mean, I don't think this is a coincidence and I don't think it's a conspiracy

that they started canceling this insurance right before these fires happened. I think it's because they are so on top of all of their, I'm sure they're using AI, to go through the data, all the algorithms, everything that they've got that they've compiled and looked at, they knew this was coming. I mean, that's their job. Like you said, Chad.

Like, that is literally what they do is to predict what's going to happen and what the level of risk is. Yeah, I agree 100%. And I don't think it's a conspiracy. I think it's a freaking incompetence. Yeah. Right? And the reality also is, like, if you look at California, look at California as a minute

example of what we have been in the last four years in this country. Like, think about the overall Biden-Harris administration. And, you know, not to get political, but it's just a reality. Look at the Biden-Harris administration. Look at where they put their money rather than putting their money into this country. And then look at what California is doing, right? The exact same thing. It's just on a smaller scale.

I told Sherry this today. I said if for some reason, and this is 100% truth, all of our, by the way, California, just so you guys know, you are our number one state in the United States that listens. California is our number one state. Los Angeles, by the way, is our number one city in the United States that listens to us.

And I'm sure they're a lot pissed off than we are. Yeah, absolutely. And so guys, by the way, we are praying for you. We are giving you everything we can possibly give you. If you're involved in this and any way infected or affected by this, we're hoping that you get through this. But yeah, just look at it as a microcosm of what we have seen the past four years.

And I told Sherry, I said, if California, for some reason, they wake up and they realize like, holy shit, just like America woke up this past election. And they said, we got to do something drastically different. I mean, it was a mandate that says we want America back. We want a strong leader. we want people to actually give us shit about our country, we want that back. Like if California ever does that,

Californians, listen to me right now. I'm telling me, if you guys vote in Republicans and make that state Republican conservative or anything that's not what it is now, we will move there freaking next week. Well, and they pay the highest taxes in the country. And they have no water.

Yeah, they have nothing. And you got to think, water, fire hydrants, fire department, the people that are there to protect you, that is all based on taxpayer money. So where is the taxpayer money going? And that's where I'm going to tell you, it's going to the homeless population. Yeah, and the immigrants.

I mean, it's not going to the citizens. It's not going to what the actual taxpayer fund money is supposed to be going to. That is the problem. I want to get in this clip real quick of Joe Rogan and Donald Trump. This was a couple months before Trump became president. And this was when Joe Rogan had him on. Trump was talking about this water issue in California. Listen, we'll talk about on the backside.

Let me give you one that you may not know. Okay. Which I think you know everything, actually. That's not true. As a student of yours. But water, you know, in Los Angeles, you can't get proper amounts of water. Right. And it's unbelievably expensive.

And you might have a house in Beverly Hills. And they're actually thinking about rationing water. Could you believe it? I can believe it. And I was in the farm court country with some of the congressmen were driving up a highway. And I say, how come all this land is so barren? It's farmland. And it looked terrible.

It was just brown and bad. I said, but there's always that little corner that's so green and beautiful. They said, we have no water. I said, do you have a drought? No, we don't have a drought. I said, why don't you have no water? Because the water isn't allowed to flow down. It's got a natural flow from Canada all the way up north of water, more water than they could ever use.

And in order to protect a tiny little fish, the water up north gets routed into the Pacific Ocean. Millions and millions of gallons of water gets poured. You got to see this. We're driving up, and I had never seen it before. It's the most, it's like Iowa. It's the most fertile land. Iowa's blessed with great land. Idaho for a potato, right?

But these, they're just, by the way, you know, some land is good for a potato, some land is good for corn. It's the craziest thing. I love the farmers. They're great. They're the greatest. And by the way, they're getting killed right now. They are. They're getting killed because of the stupid administration.

But so I see this. And I said, you've got to be kidding. I said, you mean you have water? And I looked at it. It's like a valve in your sink, except it's massive. The thing's five times taller than your ceiling. Did you know the center of California was a giant lake? they have so much water

You ever see what it looks like before they rerouted it? The center of California like what was it 200 years ago? How long ago did they do that, Jamie? The center of California had a fucking enormous lake in the middle of California.

So they dumped it into the Pacific. Who knows what they did but whatever foolishness that they did led to the situation that they're in now. Think of those dry forests that burned down all the world. You know, the head of Austria

There is Tulare Lake, or Tachi Lake. It's a freshwater lake in the southern San Joaquin Valley, United States. Historically, Tulare Lake was one of the largest freshwater lakes west of Mississippi. Show a photo of what it looked like back then. That's a great sister. So that's what it looked like. Look at that image. Now, go to the one in the third from the right.

Yeah. Yeah. That was an enormous lake in the middle of California. Imagine that. That would be much more valuable property. How crazy is that? How crazy is that's what it used to look like. And human beings screwed that out.

they let it go into the Pacific and then they... I don't know what they did. What did they do? How did it go missing? It said they drained it 83. Yeah. 19? 1983.

Oh, my God. It went dry a handful of times. Oh, went dry a handful of times. Well, you know, lakes do go dry, but that's a big one. But think of it. You could have all of the water you need. All of that land would have more water. The whole thing could be like that little patch.

Yeah. Literally, I'd say I was with Devon noon as a congressman and other congressmen who were going up. I was visiting that because they asked me to go up and visit their territory, and I did. But I kept saying, look at this land. It's beautiful. But it's so dry. And I thought they were going through like a desert, like a drought. They said, no, we have water, but it gets rid.

So I looked into it. What is the fish? And I got it done. I got it done. I could have water for all of that land, water for your forests. You know, your forests are dry as a bone. Yeah. Okay.

Dangerous. That water could be routed. You know, you could have everything. Not only dangerous. Billions of dollars a year they spend on forest fires. And, you know, there's a case with the environment. They're not allowed to rake their forests because you're not allowed to touch it. When a tree falls down, after 18 months it becomes very dry.

It's like, you know, like real firewood, it's bad. You know, a tree that's up, these are all things I learned the hard way, the easy way. But when a tree is up, it sucks water. it's wet. I went to that, the horror, they had a couple of horrible forest fires in California, and I went, I said, you know, you had a lot of trees standing yesterday with healthy trees here. I said, with this intense heat that you could see there were charred a little bit on the bottom, but they were going to be all right? Because they're soaking wet because they suck up the water, right? But when they fall, they're like, you know, it's like lighting a match.

Yeah. And you've got to be able to clean. They call maintain your forest. So I was with the head of Austria. He said, you know, it's a shame. I see all those forest fires in California. California, and all they have to do is clean their forest, meaning rake it up, get rid of the leaves, get rid of, you know, leaves that are sitting there for five years. We'll certainly get rid of the dead fall. And get rid of the trees that are fallen and that, you know, are like so many things this country. By the way, could you have had it all done. I don't think you could rake the whole forest, though. I think you could get rid of the dead fall, but raking all the leaves.

You could certainly get rid of the dead, okay? Yeah, I think that's the real. All right. So there is the Joe Rogan and Trump interview. And listen, I mean, there's no question. There was actually a guy that posted a video on, I think it was TikTok, where he was in California. And he was showing, he's like, he just went to a state forest. He said, all right, guys, let me show you what the state forest looks like.

He went on like a mile run. And as he goes in the forest, it is deadfall everywhere. It is literally like if you want the best Kenlin, if you ever want to start a freaking campfire in the middle of the woods, you want all of this wood. It is the best tender wood you can possibly get. Now, my thing to this, and this is what we're going to talk about, the fish at the center of the water restriction in Southern California is the Delta smelt. And the small little endangered fish is native to Sacramento, San Joaquin Delta. And so what they're saying is that it's endangered status.

They got to protect it. They cannot reroute water to Southern California because they don't want to interrupt this little small fish. But if they would have been able to reroute this freaking water, it could have saved Southern California in this situation. The water from Northern California, including the Sacramento-San-Wa-Kin Delta, can and could be rerouted to Southern California. But existing water routing infrastructure and restrictions keep this from happening. And so this is what we are facing. We are facing wokeism with climate change and the tree huggers and like, oh, we cannot

allow this little fish to die. So therefore, we'd rather potentially billions of dollars worth of real estate completely go burn up rather than a fish die. Sam, do you see this as like a microcosm of just the Democrat wokeism leftist policies? that maybe is potentially a part of this problem in California with the fires? Absolutely. And that's exactly what I was going to say is that you had mentioned that earlier, that you feel like the state is a microcosm from what's been going on more largely in the country.

And, you know, this mandate that happened during this election, I think was largely people railing against not just the left, but wokeism overall. And I think for me, when I think California, I think woke. I mean, the thing is there's so many. rural areas in California that are actually very red. But just the populations of the cities are so astronomical that, you know, the state overwhelmingly is Democrat. But I had mentioned to you guys earlier that I started thinking after this last election

that the, all of the woke liberals on TikTok that were crying afterward and really felt that the world was ending, the things that they are so just all consumed by are crazy to me because we are in a situation right now where a lot of people are just living in survival mode. You know, they're not sure how they're going to pay rent, how they're going to buy groceries. And when you're in that situation, you don't have the privilege or the luxury to be concerned about cultural issues. So this is just another example of like priorities being disorganized.

And I do think that California is a really good representation of that. And I think that is what you're seeing here. You know, it would be great if we could both save this fish and do the things that California needs to do with their infrastructure and water management. But if we can only do one of those things, I don't think saving the fish is the best choice. And yet that's the choice that they've made. I looked into this a little bit to see sort of what kind of options they would have. I don't know how that would work about them diverting the water. I'm not a specialist in that area by any means.

However, these areas like L.A. could certainly have built like larger water tanks and just different reservoirs to hold water. And they've not done it. And this goes back to the same thing with the insurance that California is notorious for being so difficult to deal with with their regulations. I was just watching an episode that Peter Santanello, he actually did a whole series of California, but he was going to the more rural areas that sort of no one has ever seen, these really small, small towns. And they were talking about this, how there was actually a company there that uses the deadfall of redwood trees to make furniture and whatnot. And they were saying, they were showing him something. And he was like, you know, is this not a problem that like you're taking the redwood to do this? And they were like, no, there's too many.

Like the problem is that we don't have anything to do with them. And once they got into it, they were explaining that like there's so many regulatory hurdles that it makes it impossible. to like solve this problem. And this is just the overall story of California, it would seem. Because these water tanks that they could build, I think from what I read would cost the neighborhood of like a few million dollars each. And to Sherry's point earlier, you know, they're spending close to $10 billion in the last like six years on the homelessness problem

that they have not only not solved, but it has gotten progressively worse. So again, priorities out of whack. Like there's a lot of things they could be doing. It's like the fish is a, the fish is an example of, for this administration in the United States, the fish is Ukraine and Southern California is America.

Yep, you're right. I mean, and so you see who they want to say first. And it's just, I mean, and this mostly only happens in Democrat-led, anything, whether it's the government, whether as a state. And that's not to say, by the way, and we, I've said this so many times. We have so many friends that, you know, we're like, hey, I've always voted Democrat. So when you say Democrat, it kind of, you know, kind of upsets me.

Offends me. I'm like, well, but you have to understand, dude, like if you're still on board with the shit that you see, like, if you know everything is going on with what, you know, Democrat-led cities or states are doing, and then you still acknowledge yourself as a Democrat, you know, based on that. And it's not even a political thing. It is a, it is a thing to where there is a system in place. And it's dying, by the way, right now anyways.

That's why you see Facebook. You see meta, you know, meta. Facebook and Instagram are saying, oh, we no longer want to silence your speech all of a sudden. Oh, I wonder why. Is it because you care? It's unsustainable. Yeah, but is it because they care or is it because they know that this administration coming in is going to ream their ass if they don't get on board? And they know they have, they have no choice but to get on board.

But as soon as, as soon as Trump leaves office and say a Democrat gets in and they go back to the whole censorship shit, they're just right back on board with that censorship shit. But getting back to these fires, let me ask you guys a question. And, you know, this is not a question that I don't know. You'll know the answer. But why in the hell do we not have more of these plane bomb things where they can go and load water into the ocean and put these fires out? Like, we had to borrow planes from Canada to start. And it took two days later to get the planes over here. Why don't they have them in California knowing California is notorious for having fires?

Well, California does have a lot of. aviation units for L.A. fire. And the interesting thing about this whole deal to me is that they're saying that we don't want to utilize ocean water because it may, this is literally

what we've been here. Unless out the ecosystem no, no, no, no, no. They don't want to use ocean water mostly because of corrosion. Yeah, corrosion. Based on the salt water. I'm like, but you're going to put the fire out. The entire, the entire neighbor

hoods are burning down. And you're worried about corrosion. See, this is the shit that doesn't make sense to me. But I think we have like two bombers or they call them bomb planes or whatever. Water bombers, yeah. Yeah, we have two. And I think they said Canada had like 40. Yeah.

Why? If we know we're notorious for burning in Canada because we don't have water, it's dry there constantly. We have winds from the ocean or whatever else. Why are we not pre-prepared for things? like this. We do have a lot of them. It's just we're not, we don't have enough for what the situation is right now. I heard we had two.

No. Well, we may. I mean, we got a lot of helicopters, though. We definitely have those. We just don't have a lot of planes. Go ahead, Sam. That was the thing is that, that's what I was going to mention. From what I understand, I think that was kind of their general plan is that they do utilize

the helicopters, but they couldn't. And Chad, you can speak to this a lot more, I'm sure, because of some of the wind gusts were like up to 100 miles an hour. don't want a Kobe Brian out there. No, no, no. I mean, helicopters are definitely more susceptible to wind and planes as well. Planes can work with it better. But yeah, I mean, when you got wind gust, I mean, those are things that like even life

flights, they will be grounded for wind because even if someone is on a freeway and they are dying and there's like 40, 50 mile hour gust, sometimes they will cancel those life flights. and that that that puts that life in danger to where it's like well I would rather have one person die in a car accident than an entire crew on a life flight helicopter and so helicopter so um that that's kind of a situation there but what I can say is the LA fire helicopters have been flying even in the strongest gust I was actually listening to some some scanner traffic earlier and they're like well it's like 40 50 60 60 mile and our gust right now, we should not be flying, but we're going. And there was four of them. They were like, we're up. So. Yeah, I think they just started that today. And then I think this evening, they're projecting super high winds again, which is probably

going to kill that initiative. Yeah. Well, let me ask you guys the deal with the fire hydrants. Like, why are they going dry? Is it just because of Gavin Newsom saying that we have to conserve water and we can't put water in these places? I don't understand because I know every neighborhood has. fire hydrants, and the reason for them is for fire trucks to come and hook up to them

and to put fires out. Obviously, this is what went wrong is the fire trucks can come in, but if they don't have water, they can't put the fire out. Well, you have to understand with this whole initiative from Gavin Newsom, right? And that's why Trump all day has been, not just today, yesterday, has been calling for Gavin Newsom to resign. He said, you are disgusting. you are scum and you should resign.

But why do they not have water? Is it because of regulations? Regulations, restrictions, all of this crazy climate control, climate change bullshit is why the people right now are struggling. There's videos that I wish we could play you because we can't play you necessarily.

The videos because it's audio. But there are firefighters taking water from like little ponds in buckets trying to put out shit because they have no freaking fire hydrants. But before we get in that, because we're going to get in that in just a second, Cherry. I want to play this clip that Sam sent to us earlier

because I did not have this. But this is what Joe Rogan talked about. I think it was like a couple years back where they were kind of predicting this. Actually, no, sorry, it was July of 2024. Joe Rogan talked about this. Listen. To a fireman once.

This was one of the reasons that freaked me out. And he was telling me, he goes, dude, one day, he goes, it's just going to be the right wind and fire's going to start in the right place and it's going to burn through L.A. all the way to the ocean. And there's not a fucking thing we can do about it. I go, really? He goes, yeah, we're just, we just get lucky. He goes, we get lucky with the wind. She goes, but if the wind hits the wrong way, it's just going to burn straight through L.A. And there's not going to be a thing we can do about it. Because these fires are so big, dude, when they're talking about, like, thousands of acres that are burning simultaneously with, like, four. 40 mile an hour winds. And the winds just blowing embers through the air. And those embers are landing on roofs. And those houses are going up and they're landing on bushes. And those bushes are going up and everything's dry. And once it happens, it happens in a way where it's so spread out that there's nothing

that can do. There's nothing that can do. Yeah, you just have to evacuate. Nothing. Nothing they can do. There you go. And Sam, I mean, that's true, though. I mean, you know, that's what is happening right now.

And there are videos also out there to where issues. shows people literally lighting shit on fire. They are starting fires in places because they know they're like, hey, we got the perfect wind right now. Let's burn this shit down. What do you think about that? Yeah, that definitely is a thing that I was watching something about that yesterday. And unfortunately, you have people like that, that for whatever reason, take advantage of

situations like this to, you know, in this case, commit arson for some reason. Well, and I think in some cases that people might. commit arson and I'm just saying what I'm thinking is you know a lot of times when firefighters are fighting fires they'll start a line of fire to protect their property

I mean that I mean could it be like that you're talking about controlled burns but these are people actually just trying to burn shit down in cities okay yeah I think what Sherry's talking about too is that sometimes they do get ahead of the fire and they will burn out a path because then once the fire reaches that

it'll stop um but I doubt that's what these people were doing. I mean, I would, who knows, really without talking to the people that did it, but I would think that there probably is a component to it of this whole idea of like, eat the rich, sort of the same reason that this CEO got murdered. Because if you look at California, it also is a great demonstration of just the complete inequality of the distribution of wealth. I mean, you've got a state that has the most wealthy people. to your point, these mansions that are in the tens of millions of dollars

and then you've got overwhelmingly the largest homeless population. And so I'm sure there's a lot of people that once these mansions started burning down, it just sets off like this chain reaction. They're like, yeah, you know, F them. And

then they go out and just, you know, like start like, let's just burn it all to the ground. So it's probably some of that in there too. By the way, Sam, that gives me a good reminder of what Adam Carolla said earlier talk he had a rant from his Los Angeles hotel room after the wildfires forced him from his home to hotel room for people that do not know who Adam Crolla is um he's always been in Hollywood I mean he used to go back with Jimmy Kimmel and Dr. Drew and there's a lot

of people he's always been to Hollywood he's a Hollywood dude used to be a Democrat and so he went to this hotel room and he and he made this video It was a rant. And you got to listen to the rant because it's true. This kind of sums up what California is and why, if anything, this wildfire is going to change a lot of people's minds. Listen. Guys who lost their $20 million homes on the ocean side of PCH will be knee-deep in the permit process. They will be trying to pull permits when the guys in the Winnebago's will have been back for months,

months before those guys ever get a permit. As a matter of fact, good fucking luck, because here's the deal. Alan Hamill and Suzanne Summers moved because they could not get a permit to rebuild their home of 40 years on the ocean on PCH, right? So here's what's going to happen. Let me just give you guys a little primer of what's going to happen. You know how Bill Maher seems real conservative now when he's like arguing with Jane Fonda about regulations, too many regulations, like strangling everything? Because remember, when Bill Maher tried to put solar in his house in Beverly Hills, that's when he turned against the government. Because he saw what the government and the overreach of government and overregulation does.

He got strangled. It took him three years to build a solar shack. He had old countdown on a show, you know, day 1,000 since I've got my permit for my soul. He turned. Okay. The people who live in Malibu, who live in Santa Monica, who live in the Palisades, those are some of the most progressive blue voters in the world or in the United States. They are a bastion of blue. So what those guys did is all the people in the Palisades, I checked it out.

It's about 80% blue, 80% progressive, 80% Democrat. Now, these poissies are all sitting around crying about Karen Bass, water pressure, how come the forest wasn't cleared of all the brush, what's happening with the infrastructure. You guys all voted for Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles. You all voted for Gavin Newsom. and now you fucking get what you get. Oh, now that your house is on fire. Well, now you're thinking about something else.

Now you want to know what's going on. What's going on around here? You didn't give a shit about what was going on when other people's houses were on fire, but now you care. So here's what's going to happen. All these people who are deep blue Democrats are now going to have to pull a permit to rebuild. And they're going to get the 28-year-old bitch from the client. Postal Commission, telling them to go fuck off.

And then they're going to vote for Trump or whoever's Trumpian next. You see, they're going to get turned. They're going to get turned hard because, as I've always said, live in the rent control, apartment in Santa Monica, fine, good. We know how you vote. Go deal with the city. Try to pull a permit. These are going to be thousands of homes, super wealthy people, and these people don't want to live

van eyes. They like it where they are. They love Malibu. They love the Palisades. They love Santa Monica. There's going to be a whole bunch of rich people and they're going to go, I'm rebuilding and I want to rebuild as fast as I can. And between the part where they go in to planning commission and plan check and initially and try to pull a permit to the time the first load of love, number, the first load of two-by-forces dropped off on their lot or their house formally stood. It's going to be three years and a thousand permits and a thousand arguments and a thousand discussions with the Coastal Commission, not to mention little tidbits that they didn't think about, like Carson Daly. You want a swimming pool? Yep, got to be double hold. Really? Yeah. Why? Why? What if water

leaches out and gets into the groundwater table. Carson Daly had to build a swimming pool like a modern day oil tanker. It's a double hold. That's all right. It'll just cost 500 grand for a swimming pool. Like that they're going to be, when they start getting the regulation, they're going to go nuts. And when they start running into the bureaucracy and the red tape, they're going to start going nuts. And they're going to vote for Rick Caruso next time because they want to get, that's all Trump says. We're going to pull back the regulations. We're going to free people up. They're going to find out they're going to get bit by their own snake.

They're going to convert. I am telling you, these are the bluest people on the planet, and they're going to be fucking rip shit pissed when the city and the coastal commission tell them to fuck off. And by the way, I don't think the coastal commission is going to okay anyone rebuilding any of their houses on the coast because they're, they say they're in the business of protecting the coast. They're in the business of getting you to leave.

They will get their wish, which is no buildings. And they're going to make it hard for everyone. And then we're going to have to restructure the whole thing because we can't have nine angry lesbians controlling everything that goes on in Malibu, the Palisades, in Santa Monica. There you go. So there is Adam Carolla's take. and listen, it's very interesting, right?

You have these people that once had everything. And I say once. I mean, they still have all their money, but they're about to run up against the government, which they've never really had to do before. They've never technically necessarily had to run up against losing everything, and now you can come against regulations. And this is something that Adam Kroll has said in the beginning of this.

It's like, oh, all the sudden you want to look around and you want to figure out the fuck's going on because you have never actually gave a shit enough to know about what people actually go through and all of a sudden you do? Well, guess what? FEMA's going to be there and it's going to give them $750. Yeah, there you go. So $750 should definitely be everything you need in Malibu on the coast in your house. What the, like Sam, what are regulations doing?

to us people. I mean, it seems like it's just a constant battle between government regulations and the people. Yeah, I mean, the bigger the government gets, the more bureaucracy there is, the more red tape there is. And this is the same way with the federal government. And I really do hope that,

I mean, we've got this whole crazy controversy happening now within MAGA with Rebecca and Elon, but I do hope that Doge is successful because they're wanting to do to the federal government what needs to be done in California which is to get in there and clean a bunch of the stuff out

I mean the reason that you have in part all of these regulations is that when you've got all of these all of this admin they've got to have some kind of job you know and state employees like federal employees once you're hired it's sort of very

hard to lose that job so they've got to be on the payroll for some reason and then over time it's like these regulations just snowball and snowball and snowball. I can't remember who it was that was on Tupper Carlson's podcast. It was a congressman.

And gosh, who was it? I don't know, but he was showing each year how many new regulations are added, not laws, just regulations. And it's astronomical. It wasn't Massey? Was it Massey? Was it Thomas Massey you're talking about?

I don't know. I interviewed Thomas Massey, although I do love him. Yeah, maybe. Okay, go ahead. I'll find it for you and send it at some point, but nonetheless, it's just they don't go away. So you just keep piling them on top of each other.

And then you get to the point where you're like gridlocked when you're trying to accomplish anything. And so they've got people in this situation now where their hands are tied. They can't be productive in the state. I mean, you have a lot of people in California. Patrick Met David was talking about this on their podcast today, that you have some of the best problem solvers in California.

And these people, people can't really utilize their skills. I mean, if they were to put them all in a room and say, hey, let's figure out some of these problems going on all with the state. There's solutions, but there's so much red tape that you just can't do. You couldn't do the things you needed to do. And this is just a constant theme with California. Now, I would imagine, and this is where the conspiracy would come into this,

and it would be a long rabbit hole to go down. Maybe N. Carroll will cover it. But my guess is that most of these regulations initiated from some form of lobbying that was benefiting some sort of corporation. And some of them have probably just remained in place for decades and don't necessarily serve a purpose anymore. And now they're just hurdles for anything, you know, getting done that's productive. Yeah. I agree. I want to just jump over a little bit to the, not governor, but the mayor.

Mayor, yeah. Oh, Lord. of California. I want you guys to listen to this clip and it does get into DEI because, you know, Sam and I are on the podcast tonight with Chad and that's what Sam I said earlier. This is kind of like... This is the DEI edition. We got women here. And I just want to listen to what this newscaster was asking her and she had no response at all. But when you get to thinking about not only the mayor, but the, I think the, the, Fire Chief is a woman as well. She's a woman lesbian. Yeah. I think,

I think actually many of the upper higher up in LA fires, either women, black or lesbian. Yeah. They're very hardcore. They're very hardcore on D.I. They've said it. They've come out.

Well, that's because they've been hired. But they've been hired that way. Yeah. So I just want to like listen to a couple of these clips. And I just want to talk to you guys about it for a minute and see, do you really feel like, DEI is, you know, something that is...

Part of the problem? Is it the problem or is it good? Is it good for California? All right, well, here is a reporter that finds the L.A. mayor, and she refuses to answer any questions. And this is the man, the mayor, Karen, resign. Let's listen. This is what the reporter was asking her in the L.A. airport and she refused to answer. Listen.

Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent while their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire department budget by millions of dollars, Madam Mayor? Have you nothing to say today? Have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today? Elon Musk says that you're utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position? Madam Mayor, have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today who are dealing with this disaster? No apology for them?

Do you think you should have been visiting Ghana while this was unfolding back home? So, by the way, he keeps asking her question after question after question. She does not answer. Now, the other thing about it is CBS news reporters start asking her questions in the press conference today. So the kid gloves are coming off, right? It's like, it's a weird, Sam, do you not think, and I've got to ask you this and Sherry too. I mean, Sherry, we've been looking at like the news, you got meta, you got all these people. order starting to transition from

anti-Trump to pro-Trump and I almost feel like they have to do this and now reporters are starting to ask real questions. Right. What do you guys think is the reason for this? Do you think they just know like

hey we have a mandate, we have an administration that's coming in and we cannot screw around anymore the bullshit we've been doing? I think it's human nature when you feel like you're the minority to feel it feels more courageous to stand up and say something and for a lot of people they don't have the courage to do it and so a lot of people stay quiet but when you feel like you're in the

majority it's a lot more empowering to say the things because you know that I mean we all as humans want approval from other humans like we're tribal it's just it's ingrained in us and so I think that what this election showed and I mean I have to be honest like I've kind of it's kind of shifted my perspective too with some people I know in my life that are very much like on the woke side of how I kind of view things because before it did feel like in this country that we were the minority and that this whole woke ideology was was the majority and I mean logically I've known that's not true and that they were just a very loud group but they were also being coddled and catered to nonstop by the government by corporate media and that I mean those are

are the two things that are public facing. So that's what makes it, it's very easy to create the illusion that that is the whole country's prerogative. We know after the election, though, that that's not the case. And so I think people are getting more comfortable now with like, oh, I can say what I have been wanting to say now for the last four years. And I think that is including the media. I mean, it's a game for them too. And they've just been trying to tow the line. And I think now they're like, oh, okay, this line's setting in a different direction. We're going to follow it this way. And they'll go back, like you said, if the administration shifts back,

they're going to swing back the other way, which is unfortunate. But for the meantime, I'm glad that we're getting to this point. I think a lot of things are going to be exposed because of it. And I hope that there are people who will wake up and actually see what's going on now. I think that has been happening progressively since COVID. I think I'm like you guys. I think we all have been sort of. and the know about some things for many years before COVID,

but I saw a distinct difference after about a year into COVID when a lot of people started being like, wait a minute, what is happening here? And now after this election, I feel like I'm seeing that same kind of thing happen again. And it's like this ripple effect. Sam, but what do you look at this? I'm sorry, I mean, I know we're talking about LA fires,

but got to talk to you about what you just said. I think you're right. do you feel like if you look like say that we fast forward 150 years from now and then say that you look at the next 10 years from this point do you do you feel like that that that chapter right say the next 10 years from now is a chapter do you feel like that chapter is going to be the great awakening um do you feel like it's going to be a great uprising of the people? Or do you see some type of authoritarian figure coming down and crashing it down like the Romans? What is your thoughts in there?

It's hard to say. I mean, hopefully this country never gets to a point where it gets so bad that it collapses. And as long as that doesn't happen, I think we are going to continue the way that things have been, which is that we're going to go in one direction for a while until we get too far in that direction and then we're going to massively overcorrect into the other direction until that gets unsustainable and then we're going to pinball back the other way i mean that's kind of if you look at history that's sort of what's always happened i think the sort of the factor that's a little bit hard to predict is the apparatus of the deep state though and this growing

the thing that has changed the most i think if we were to look back 50 years ago until now is the influence of the elites in this country and the way that money has moved in this country. Money is very consistently now, just constantly moving to the top and remaining at the top.

And that is, I think, what could shift what we've seen historically into a situation where it could end up collapsing. You know, interestingly, Elon, back Trump in this election. We've had a lot of billionaires, though,

that were backing Kamala Harris. And so I would say that you've got something on both sides and we'll kind of see, like, it's going to just basically be whatever agenda suits them best. But we're not in a great place. I mean, I'm hoping now with this new administration and people waking up, we're going to have to have some kind of revolution.

And I don't necessarily mean a violent revolution. In fact, I think we're screwed that we can't do that. But I think that if enough people are just like, no, we're not doing this anymore. We're not putting up with this. We may gradually start to see some changes. Yeah. Yes, it's going to be interesting.

It's going to be interesting to see how this goes. But I think you're right. I think there is something changing. We don't know exactly what it is. But to this clip, it's a very short clip, listen to what the CBS reporter was asking the mayor of Los Angeles. And what her response was, listen. Liadi with CBS News for Mayor Bass, please.

Mayor, L.A. County is in a panic state. It began two days ago with the Palisades fire. My crew and I arrived shortly after it started. And for several hours, we watched as hundreds of homes in a neighborhood burned to the ground. We did not see a single fire engine. We watched as Good Samaritans guided traffic. There was fear. there was a lot of confusion. You were out of the country at the time. Shortly after the fire started,

a press release was put out warning of this fire behavior. My question to you is what explains this lack of preparation and rapid response? Let me just say first and foremost, my number one focus, and I think the focus of all of us here with one voice, is that we have to protect lives, we have to save lives and we have to save homes. Rest assured that when that's not. Rest assured, let me finish. Rest assured when that is done, when we are safe, when lives have been saved and homes have been saved, we will absolutely do an evaluation to look at what worked, what didn't

work, and to correct or to hold accountable any body, department, individual, etc. But my focus right now is on the lives and on the homes. Do you think your leadership was effective while responding to this disaster? I just said what I believe is the most important thing for us to do right now. And that is going to continue to be my focus. Thank you. So there you go. I mean, and the weird thing about this whole deal is that it just doesn't make sense.

Like if you are Southern California, like this response, and by the way, we're not talking shit about the firefighters. The firefighters, every single firefighter out there are heroes. They're doing everything they can, but they're, they're handcuffed. Yeah, they're limited by the regulation. Right. And this is the state of California. Yeah, they, they cut their funding, but like we were talking about, there's billions going to the homeless problem in, in Los Angeles. And in California, yeah. So that, that woman is awful, let me just say. Like, first of all, she's like the worst combination

between the qualities I hate the most of Karene Jean-Pierre and Kamala Harris like all rolled into one like the way that just immediately the way she started to answer the question was 100% like watching a press conference with

Kareem Jampier. And then when she's like let me finish it reminded me of like the I'm speaking moment that Kamala had. And then essentially she was pretty much what she said there was like I just want the focus to be on not focusing on me right now. And he's like, tries to follow up and she's basically like, I said what I said.

Right. Which was nothing. You said nothing. You basically just said, I don't want to talk about this. Because if we actually did an investigation to see who is the problem here, it's me. And we're not going to do that. And I mean, she's a politician. Like, she's clearly, she's either incompetent.

She's being influenced by the wrong people and serving the wrong people. or she's a nefarious actor and it could be a combination of all of those but I suspect it's just vast incompetence and she's just in this position to probably continue to move up in whatever social status she's in or you know

to pat her pockets or whatever this is what all of them are doing and she was out of the country in Ghana for some sort of inauguration and like we were talking about earlier you know the insurance companies had a pretty good prediction on what was going to happen

right they knew the situation was coming with the winds. They knew that the circumstances, like if there were going to be a time that what Joe Rogan had been saying were going to happen, like, this was like the perfect storm of circumstances for this to all come together.

And yet she's out of the country when all of this starts. Yeah. I'm sorry. And if the insurance companies were predicting this, then they should have been off their asses trying to predict it as well in getting water ready for this oncoming problem. Insurance companies.

I mean, no, I'm saying, if the insurance companies predicted it, then the mayor and the governor and everyone else should have been in line saying, okay, these are the predictions. These are what's kind of happening. Yeah, I promise they knew that, though. We need to, like, step up and figure this out before it happens. Yeah. Here's the reality of that situation to what Sherry's talking about is obviously these massive insurance companies with these multi, multi, multi, multimillion dollar homes are, going to come to California to the legislators to everybody and say, hey, guys, we're about to pull out of California because y'all's bullshit, crazy regulations.

Regulations and agendas. And so either this changes or we're out. And guess what they did? Yeah, guess what California said. Peace out. See you. Sorry, we're not changing it. That in and of itself is a problem.

Like, they're not, it's like ignoring all of the symptoms. their response to the insurance companies saying, hey, this risk, you know, this risk is too high. We cannot continue to serve customers in this state if you're going to stranglehold what we can charge because what we can charge is not enough to be able to cover to mitigate this risk and provide insurance. And instead of California being like,

okay, maybe we should ask why the insurance companies are doing this? Why is it that they feel this way? What is this risk that they're so concerned about? Instead, they're just like, oh, okay, well, no, we don't need you except for, yeah, the homeowners need them. And, you know, it's like the canary and the coal mine, and they're just totally ignoring it. And again, I don't know why they're ignoring it. I think it's probably just like a let's kick the can down the road situation.

They're not really, I mean, what's the consequences? You know, like if this were a company, they would be failing. But because it's not a company and it's a state government, what are the actual repercussions going to be from all of this terrible planning, lack of preparedness, just reckless decision making, disorganized priorities, there will be no consequence.

And that's why this is not changing, is that she can just get up there and say what she said, which was nothing. And this will just be swept under the rug like everything else eventually. I mean, we kind of went through the same thing here in North Carolina with what happened in Nashville. You know,

you had citizens that were neighbors that were helping people long before any form of like, formal government stepped in. And that's exactly what's going on in California. Like, we're kind of, we're in this together at this point. Like, the government is not serving the people. That's the real conspiracy. Yeah, I hope that, I hope enough people, like I said,

I hope enough people turn freaking California red. I will move to California. I mean, I'm telling you, California is the most beautiful state. This guy right here says, California has the best land and the worst government in America. And I want you to hear this black guy that talked about, this, and he was just talking about what's going on in California from his standpoint. Listen to this video. Last night, I had to evacuate my home in L.A. because of the fires, the effects of which

you can see right above me. Upon reflecting, I remembered a conversation that Joe Rogan had with Donald Trump before the election about the state of wildfire management in California. It's very easy to think of wildfires is something that Mother Nature just inflicts upon us. But we have an influence over both the intensity and the frequent. of these fires. And Donald Trump pointed out that there's two things that we've done in California that might be exaggerating the effects of these fires. The first is our policy around water management and the second is our policy around clearing deadwood in our forests. Check this out.

Los Angeles, you can't get proper amounts of water. Right. And it's unbelievably expensive. And they're actually thinking about rationing water. Can you believe it? I was in the farm court country with some of the congressmen were driving up highway. And I say, how come all this land is so barren. So anyways, that's what this guy was talking about is there are so many people in California that are starting to realize what these awful policies in California are having

on their own lives. You have people that are fleeing California right now. They're desperate for just to save their lives based on the policies and the agendas of the Democrats in California. And when all of this is said and done, we have to realize that what you're voting for is exactly what the response may be. If you're voting for people that are going to either put your livelihood second or third or fourth

to whatever, over a minnow, because that's what's happening. A minnow, illegals, people that don't actually pay taxes. It's all about climate change. Something. That's a problem. I want to play one last clip before we break this down even more. This is what Ian Carroll had to say Because listen, we actually

posted a video on our TikTok And we do have a TikTok guys, go follow us on TikTok and BuzzDegger's podcast We have an ex account, we have Facebook, we have Instagram But we have posted a video about like a UFO looking thing above Los Angeles as these fires were breaking out, which was pretty crazy

And that video is kind of going pretty decently viral over on TikTok But here's what Ian Carroll had to say about this whole situation. Listen to what he has a sale. I decided to move to L.A. for a month, and I got here yesterday, and then the whole city lit on fire. All right, it's not the whole city. It's mostly the Palisades.

It's sort of like Santa Monica, Malibu area. I'm living up here, so I'm okay for now. But I drove down to the perimeter of where this is going on this morning to see what's going on. So here's a roundup of all the stuff going on online right now. The real kind of conspiracies to the totally, like, wild tinfoil. The destruction is super intense and widespread and heart goes out to everyone that lost homes, everyone that lost their businesses, their possessions, even their lives, hopefully not too many. And unfortunately, a lot of people lost their possessions and they're no longer covered

because State Farm just months ago, June of 2024, changed all their policies for the state of California so that they would no longer offer fire coverage. I shit you not. At first, they announced that they were terminating all these policies. because they just couldn't financially survive in this economy otherwise. And then they decided they would give everyone their policies back, but only if the Californians agreed to sign up for California's fair plan for fire coverage. So that state farm will not cover their fire damages.

It's this California government plan that'll do that. I'm sure that's going to go great. And the mayor, who was out of the country when the fires hit, she was in Ghana and Africa halfway around the world. She cut fire department funding by millions of dollars. this last year. I haven't personally verified this one, but it's an article from time that California's been voting for better water management for ages. Nothing getting done about it. And actually, Trump was on the Joe Rogan experience just like a couple months ago, and he got

made fun of for talking about California's water problem, how they diverted all this water to take care of a certain kind of fish that they should be diverting straight into California. Because when these fires broke out, there are widespread reports that fire. Hydrants had no water in them. And so there was no water to fight the fires. So in Los Angeles, you can't get proper amounts of water. Right. And it's unbelievably expensive. And you might have a house in Beverly Hills. And they're actually thinking about rationing water. Could you believe it? They said, we have no water. I said, do you have a drought? No, we don't have a drought. I said, why don't you have no water? Because the water isn't allowed to flow down. It's got an

natural flow from Canada all the way up north of water, more water than they could ever use. and in order to protect a tiny little fish, the water up north gets routed into the Pacific Ocean. Millions and millions of gallons of water gets poured. You got to see this. We're driving up, and I had never seen it. I mean, love them or ate them, but that really happened. It's like, what? Now, the Internet's full of people bringing up different causes and claims.

I don't see the mainstream media or, like, the mainstream narrative asking at all how the fires started. I have no idea how they started. People are talking about how homeless people are a big problem because homeless people start a ton of the fires in California in general and L.A. specifically. I've seen figures like 13%. Don't quote me on that. The high wins obviously played a huge role and should have given the fire teams advance warning, which, you know, they, it sounds like they did do some level of preparation with what limited resources they had. People are also blaming really poor or non-existent brush management and forest management. These forests have been untended for years, decades maybe. And that's on like the county and the state, I guess, like the Forest Service for cleaning up and keep it and maybe control burning, which they don't do anymore. I don't know how to pin down the reason. I have no idea and I'm not an expert. So those, that's just what people are talking about. DEI is also coming up a lot because we're now measuring how many black and trans and Latino people are on the fire team because that totally matters when your house is burning.

But then there's UFO stuff. There's always UFO stuff nowadays. People noted that on live TV in the broadcast, they could see what appears. to be UFOs shooting through right there. And then there's another one that shoots through in a second right there. Then someone found this footage on a Santa Monica Beach cam. This one's much smaller, but it's like a little glowing orb dot that like flies down in here. I don't even know if you can see it.

And it flies out right there. And it kind of zigz and zags around out here a little bit. Who knows what it is. So yeah, there's aliens now or government orbs or like, Lord knows what. And the fires are still raging. This is a photo from last night taken from the air. This is the route in to LAX. So like that's the whole hillside there.

This is greater Los Angeles is over here to the right. So this is like Santa Monica right here. I'm currently living up here in this whole patch of light. And then we even got the like deep truthers like Liz Crocans talking about the Getty Museum burning about child trafficking and about how this ties to possibly diddy into Hollywood falling down and maybe they're like burning evidence. And it's like dude, like maybe. But I kind of doubt it.

But Liz is right about the Getty. And you should go down the Getty rabbit hole because it's super. dark. Basically, there's a million theories flying around right now, and none of it is really like super he, like it's fires and people's homes are burning and the evacuation is wild and it's still not under control. The winds are going to get worse tonight. So expect this story to develop more. I don't expect us to have any like closure or understanding of what caused it. It's just going to suck. Once it clears out a little bit next week, I'll go down and kind of like get a look at it. But for now, the most important thing is that I stay out of the way that they, we let

the first responders do their jobs. And we pray for the people who are affected by this. Because it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, we're all people. And no one wants to see their homes, their livelihoods burn to the ground. And talking about what Ian said at the end, we're all, you know, we're all humans. We might be rich or poor. But there is also a lot of poor people that are losing their homes too and have nothing and nothing to go to.

Yeah. now you're you're for sure correct um and and with the conspiracies of this i i like i said we posted a video of this orb slash UFO that kind of flew above los angeles and there were multiple videos on this by the way there were um stationary cams webcams all this they kept showing some type of orbs and there were even videos showing orbs right before fires were starting right these orbs slash maybe even drones. Now, if you think about this, guys, I'm not saying this is a freaking conspiracy fact,

because we don't know. This is all alleged. And it's just a thought. But think about the Las Vegas guy that, you know, blew himself up. He released this manifesto. He said that the drones off the East Coast were China and that we also have this technology.

Like, wouldn't that be one of the craziest ways to destroy large parts of the United States by way of drones with laser type I don't know systems to spark wildfires

especially in 100 mile an hour Santa Ana winds I know that's a conspiracy Sam but what do you think? Well we've talked about that too with especially the Canadian fires and we saw and Maui yeah and Maui when we saw actual footage of these fires going up

at once. Like they were like done on purpose. And by the way, Sam, sorry. But just before the Maui fires, you had these grid green pattern laser lights near, near Hawaii. This was like weeks before. Right. There were green patterns.

And so everybody started asking the questions, what the hell are these lights, you know, above Hawaii? And the United States government and basically China, did not not admit this, but they said it was Chinese satellites. Right. And then they said if you have like blue lights or something around your house, it would not burn your house if it had blue. No, no, no, no, it's like blue roofs or blue.

Yeah, because it's laser. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. But Sam, what do you think about like the conspiracies of this? Is there a conspiracy behind this? And what would it be?

I mean, you're going to think about what Matthew Livelberger, you know, the, the, the Tesla truck guy said about the drones off New Jersey coast from Colorado Springs and now you have yet another massive wildfire the worst in history in Los Angeles well I did actually see I don't sure it's the same video that he was showing or not but there was one that someone took

like a they took a video of their TV when they were watching Fox News I think it was and just like in the background behind the reporter you could see something that like dark across the sky really quickly. But obviously, like, with all the smoke, you couldn't see what it was, but it was illuminated. And it was moving very quickly and sort of erratically. It was strange.

Yeah. I mean, who knows what's going on with these drones at this point? That's like a whole other rabbit hole. I just think that there's this whole theory that people have, like, you know, that what if these are like aliens that are coming and it's because we're getting close to nuclear war and they're like trying to keep us from destroying ourselves. I'm just imagining it's like there were some that were over California just sort of monitoring. And then all of a sudden they're like reporting back like, oh my God, now they have everything on fire. And they're like, well, aren't they putting it out? And they're like, no, they don't they live by the ocean?

And it's like nothing's happening. And then also you've got, I mean, again, you could go a lot of different ways with like what's happening with the drones or the orbs or whatever. What's been very funny to me, though, is actually the most conspiracy theories that I have seen around this fire situation have been coming from the left. Shortly after the election, I started getting a lot of videos showing up on my TikTok feed of liberals that were in full

meltdown mode. And I intentionally would watch them and comment on them so that TikTok would continue to show them to me because I enjoy saying what's happening on that side of the planet. They hilariously have went into

the same mode that kind of like in the conspiracy land of thinking that the election was stolen and now they're sort of on board with this idea that maybe the Trump administration is somehow setting California on fire. Hmm. Interesting. Yeah.

So I don't really know what the, I don't know what the advantage to burning California down would be other than. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. From the nefarious side of things, I don't really know what that would promote. I do think the bigger conspiracy. here is just that California is, it's the microcosm of incompetence, like you said, Chad. It's just highlighting what we're seeing everywhere, but it's very focused and it's really easy to

see right now. Yeah, and we have to, we have to understand guys out there that there are firefighters, most of them, by the way, that cannot get water to their fire hydrants. There is no water. When they show up to your house or near your house, they cannot get water from their fire hydrants. based on the regulations and the bullshit that California has put and placed on Los Angeles County, Orange County, multiple counties around there. And let me just ask you a question real quick. Let me ask you a question real quick.

If those regulations were not in place, do you think a lot of these homes would have been saved? Well, I mean, I'm not saying necessarily a lot of them. Because of the wins. This is a full-scale thing. I mean, number one, it was like the best. best case scenario for the most dumbass regulations, right? As far as if you want Los Angeles to burn down, well, what do you do? Well, you cut $18 million from the fire department budget.

You incorporate this DEI bullshit policy in the fire department. You also completely cut off the fire department's water. You cut off any source of actually being able to do your job as a firefighter in Los Angeles in a mass scale event. there were whistleblowers in Los Angeles County Fire Department and multiple other agencies, including the Sheriff's Department. This was the past two years that came out and said, what the policies are right now,

if we have a mass casualty event or a major event such as a massive fire, we are screwed. Yeah. And they just said it just depends on which way the wind goes. Yeah, I mean, either which way the wind goes, it doesn't matter. If there is a mass event in Los Angeles, on the administration that has been in place for the past four years, we are done.

It goes back to the same shit like George Gascon or Gascon, the Los Angeles district attorney, now that has been replaced. But Gascon was a George Soros-funded district attorney. And the whole thing with that is, is that when you have this situation like that, you have to understand that these are globalist appointed people. And it's not just in the realm of district attorneys. It is also in the realm of who protects you, whether it be law enforcement, whether it be firefighters, the DEI policies.

They have tried to infiltrate every single facet of our lives in the places that they possibly can in the biggest cities like Los Angeles. Look at New York City. subways. Look at people getting set on fire. Look at, look at just them letting people out with no bail, no nothing across major cities. And this is what they want to incentivize. They want to say, you can go burn people down. You can go shoot people on the face. You can go attack people. And don't worry, we're going to protect you. Yeah, but in this case, it's not really that. It's not. It's about regulations and policies. And how do we change

these. I guess the way that if Californians want to live in California, they got to change the people they vote for. Well, listen, we're going to change these things by way of they're seeing exactly what is happening right now. They are going to

realize that this government that they voted for does not give a shit about them. And listen, I have hope, actually. I have hope California could go red. I don't know that's possible. I know, but maybe it is possible. Think about, Chad, there's over 180,000 houses burned down right now.

Yeah. That's a lot of structures. That's not including, like, churches, high schools, elementary schools, churches. Everything is burnt to a pulp. This is going to take years to rebuild. I know, but I'm just saying the mindset, that the initiative and what they're going to think is going to change. Sam, Sam, what is your kind of just closing things on this? what do you think about the reality of the California fires?

I know there's not maybe necessarily a huge conspiracy behind this. Maybe there is. We don't know that yet. We'll learn that as the time comes on. But what do you think about the whole lesson of the California fires as we see them? Well, I think that one thing that may come out of this is that what I mentioned earlier about how we saw during the election, that the people that were super focused in all the cultural issues

to me, I'm like, you are so out of touch with the majority of this country who is in survival mode. And we don't have the luxury to worry about that kind of stuff. Well, I think what you're seeing in California is that the most wealthy people there, the people who are funding these campaigns and whatnot, I don't know if you had actually seen the clip of Bill Maher

talking with Jane Fonda that was mentioned in one of the videos that you played. It was crazy because Bill Maher brings up just the total mismanagement of everything in California and Newsom and whatnot. And she is oblivious. She has no idea what he is talking about. And I think it was genuine. These people have had the luxury and they have had the privilege to not be in survival mode and to be able to worry about this little petty shit and the fish and everything else. and I think you may see now, you know, to Adam Krola's point,

you have all of these millionaires who have now lost their homes and they are going to face the reality of what this government that they have elected has done. And that is the only chance for change. Yeah, and especially like he was saying, when they tried to rebuild and they have all these regulations and policies about what they can build, where they can build, and how they can build.

Yep, they will not be oblivious for long. because once they actually have to experience it, you know, they've had the luxury of just being able to elect these people who want to focus on stuff that the majority of the country and probably the majority of that state in terms of population size just cannot afford to worry about. And I think that's, they're about to get a real punch in the face with reality when it comes to trying to fight through the regulations to get their houses rebuilt,

dealing with the insurance situation, whether or not they'll kind of understand the root of that problem and that it is also stemming from the regulatory issues in California. I don't know. But this is the only chance. It takes something like this for change to happen. I think they're going to see that the government they've elected is not on their side. I agree with that.

I do want to play one last quick little clip. Los Angeles Fire hydrants out of water. This is a clip from Fox 11 in Los Angeles as shit was really going down. in this. But their hands have been tied, and they can't fight a fire without water and the resources that are needed. Everybody knew these winds were coming. The other question has to be, you know, were all the things in place to try to, you know,

again, mitigate the damage here. But the real issue to me is twofold. We've had decades to go remove the brush in these hills that spread so quickly. and the second is you've got to have water. And my understanding is the reservoir was not refilled in time and in a timely matter to keep the hydrants go. So that's a failure whether on DWP's part or another city agency. But this is basic stuff.

This isn't high science here. It's all about leadership and management that we're seeing a failure of. And all of these residents are paying the ultimate price for that. That was going to be my next question is why aren't why isn't there water in the fire hydrants? That doesn't make any sense. You're right. That's a good question. And I think you should start asking, why don't you call the mayor who's out of the country and ask her and get an answer from her?

Well, they say she's on her way back and that that would be a great question to ask her tomorrow if she's at this briefing at 8 o'clock in the morning. Because I think there's a lot of people that are outraged by that. fact tonight when they look at scenes like this, businesses that people have worked really, really, really hard to build and homes that people's entire livelihoods are going up in flames tonight. So for you watching this and seeing those flames. So there you go.

That was Fox 11 from Los Angeles. And they're saying, we have no water to save the houses. Like we don't have hydrants. Like even if we show up to houses that are burning, we have no water unless it's on our trucks. I mean, and by the way, guys, for those that don't know anything about firefighting,

there are tanker trucks, there are engines, there are ladders, there are medical trucks, tankers have water, and tankers can get up to so many gallons of water, but once that water's gone, it's gone. So these freaking houses have no water. They have no hydrants. That is all based on either policy

or some bullshit they made sure of. And listen, That could go conspiracy. I'm glad I don't live in California. I hate it for the people that are dealing with this right now. I mean, honestly, even for the celebrities for the people who are super wealthy that will be able to rebuild and everything, I mean, at the end of the day, like, they are human beings and that's your home. You know, there are people who have lived there for decades.

And, you know, a house fire is like one of my biggest fears. And I think that is like one of the worst ways because it's not just a house fire. In a lot of these situations, like you can see the fire coming from the distance. And there's nothing you can do about it. You know, you can try to take as much as you can carry in your vehicle or whatever. But I'm sure y'all have seen the videos of the people who just had to abandon their cars on the highway. And then the bulldozers coming through plowing the cars just to get fire trucks through. Does that remind you the movie?

What was that movie? Is this the end? or what was that? Leave the world behind. Yeah, leave the world behind when all the cars are piled up. Yeah. I mean, it's a nightmare scenario.

And people are, I mean, I can't imagine what it would be like. And again, this is what the people in Asheville went through. I mean, you know, we know Jordan personally, and she and her girlfriend lost their entire apartment and all of their belongings. And I can't fathom what that would be like. And sure, they're material things,

but especially if you've lived in your home for decades and you've raised a family there and everything. I mean, that's a catastrophic blow. And then on top of that, if you have to deal with the situation that your insurance isn't going to cover it, I mean, the homelessness is going to increase after this unless they somehow are able to step in and help these people. But I mean, God, they can't even deal with the homeless situation they have now. I'm sure they're not going to be any more efficient at dealing with this. This is going to be just like what happened in Asheville. We're, we won't even know all of the domino effects of this until many months, if not years from now.

Right. Hopefully they learn a lesson from it. And I do think that Newsom's chances of remaining governor of that state are probably a lot less likely than they were a week ago. Yeah. And by the way, when you say that they learn a lesson, I think what you're talking about is the people, like the people that work for the government. No, no, no. If you're going to vote. And vote for the government, yeah.

Yeah, like if you're going to vote, make sure you vote correctly next time. Make sure that you have people that have your best interests at heart, not their own, not the deep state, not the bullshit policies and the regulations and the bureaucracy. That is all California is bureaucracy, woke bullshit. And the woke bullshit is going to kill you in the end. And you're seeing it right now. It's going to kill you. and you better quit voting for woke, and you better freaking start voting for your own safety and well-being.

Because until you do that, until you get out of the ideological mindset of bullshit, you're going to face things to where when the things and the people that you voted for, when they're there to help you, they're not going to be there. They're going to say, we don't have water in our hydrants because we want to save this little fish. or we had this little climate change rule because now we can't do this, now we can do that.

Fucking vote for you. Vote for your life and not some little fish or some bullshit they want you to believe. Everything with this woke ideology is all an ideological cult. It is a cult. That is what they want you to get in and they want you to believe this shit to literally to the point where you will vote against yourself. and for anything against you. I'm telling you, it's the reason why the Biden-Harris administration is out.

American people are sick of us sending money to freaking Ukraine and all the other countries. And the American people are hoping that this new administration is going to be better about caring about our own people. And so hopefully we can also get to that in some of these big states, some of the most beautiful states like California. Maybe we can get to a point where the people are sick of the bullshit in California and they're going to start voting in conservative or whatever. They're more right leaning.

And we can change that state. We can turn around because like I said, if we can do that, I'm moving there. Yeah. And I want to echo what Sam said, you know, regardless of what state you come from or what, you know, where you come from. if you're rich, if you're poor, you know, when you lose a house, you lose everything. Yeah. And that's devastating. And I could only imagine, I can't imagine, because it's never happened to me.

But I could, I'm just looking around in my house right now, the things that we would lose. When you see a fire coming on your house and you have to get a backpack and take your dogs and go, you know, you leave everything. You leave all your valuables. You leave like the most important things to you. and those things are all gone now. They're all ash. They're all dust to these people.

And I think, you know, more than losing their house, it's the valuables that were in there that is really going to be. Yeah, it's the wedding pictures. It's the pictures of your mom, the wedding rings, the all those things. I mean, and I guess valuables are valuable to everyone. But I think, I think the sad and scary part is like, there are people that are rich as hell that are getting, their houses burnt and they're going to be able to rebuild very easily.

Yeah, but they're going to be missing those things too. I know, I get it. But there's also poor people that are never, they could be homeless now. Yeah. They're not going to have anything. Yeah. And no one's going to give a shit. If I could really give a closing thought, I think it would just be that, and I hope this

is going to change in the coming weeks starting then. But this at its core is just a representation of the failure of our government. I mean, at its most basic principle, the government is meant to help protect us, protect our property, and we pay taxes for organized infrastructure. And they have failed at the most basic level in California right now. And yeah, the wealthy will be able to rebuild. But right now, they are on a level playing field with the people who lived in, you know, the, the, the, lowest houses, you know? The fire did not discriminate.

When it comes and engulfs your house, you are in the same boat. You've lost everything. You may have a better starting place to build back. But I do think that is going to be eye-opening because this was avoidable. This was predictable, clearly. I mean, the fire department knew this. Obviously what Joe Rogan said, you know, this was a fireman that had told him this. They were aware that these conditions were possible.

They cut funding of $18 million from the fiscal year, 2024 to 2025, while simultaneously doing these DEI trainings and whatnot, which they don't disclose how much they pay for that, but I did a little bit of research, and for the size of their fire department, it's somewhere between like $1 to $3 million, and then more annually if they continue this training program and whatnot.

And as your resident lesbian correspondent, I will tell you that I could not care less that the fire chief is the first lesbian fire chief. I'm very much with Megan Kelly on this, if anyone's seen that clip, that can you put a fire out or not? That's the main thing. All of this DEI nonsense,

the mismanagement of money, again, just disorganization of priorities, that's really the core problem here, is that they have failed the people. And I hate that for the people of California. Unfortunately, to a degree they brought it upon themselves for the ones who voted for this administration out there. But it's still very sad. And I really hope that this may be a turning point for them.

Damn it, Sam, you're going to make me play that clip. I have to play the clip. This is Megan Kelly where she's talking about the DEI policies of L.A. We got to play this because we'll talk a little bit about this, Sam. And then we'll go. But let's listen to what Megan Kelly says. gives a shit if the fire chief is gay. I'm sorry, but who gives a flying fig about who she likes to sleep with?

Can you fight the fucking fires, madam? That's the relevant question. We don't care about your lady parts and we don't care who you want having access to them. Can you fight fires? Can you make sure there's water in the fire hydrants when you realize in Ventura County, this is a massive problem. When you realize that California is going through a drought where they haven't had rain in weeks and months

is I don't care who turns you on. And you know why they have only 100 women in a squad of 3,300? Because women tend to be smaller and not as strong. And unless you lower the requirements to become a firefighter, most women can't pass the test. This is an absurdity. This is just like the Secret Service

and what happened with Trump. We needed all these women in there who weren't even tall enough to protect the six-foot-three president. Under this woman, Ms. Crowley, the department created a diversity equity and inclusion bureau to train firefighters not on refilling the hydrants or what to do when they're empty, but on the importance of DEI. So, here you go. I mean, at least had a training program on DEI to make sure that everybody was either black, woman, lesbian, gay, LGBTQ, dog, cat, fish. I don't know, I don't know what all is involved in DEI, but you have to understand that I'm not,

and I say, I think I said this earlier, it's not that women cannot be qualified to be firefighters or police officers. It's just that it seems like oftentimes you will find in DEI type situations in counties or governmental operations, to where you will get DEI in leadership positions, in leadership positions that require extensive experience, extensive experience,

especially when it comes to say that the entire county in Los Angeles and surrounding is burning down. Now all of a sudden, you really need a dude or a girl. It could be a girl as well. Don't get me wrong. But just the experience. You need the experience.

You do not need the DEI policies, right? You do not need like, hey, did this fire chief get in because she is a woman or a lesbian or she's black? Well, it's because I, you know, I was watching on the view today, too. I think it was a view. And they're talking about, you know, we need these DEI qualities because we're black and we're never going to get into these positions without the DEI. That's bullshit. What if these positions qualify you not based on race, gender, and all these things? They do, though.

That's the point. These positions do qualify you based on experience and qualifications. Not DEI. You have to be black or white or, I mean, not white. Listen to me. This is what fire departments, police departments, all that do. If you have the experience, you have the qualifications, and you have the physical fitness and all the other shit. Yeah, that's the way it should be.

what you are. That's what it should be. It should not be based on how many females, how many black females, how many, you know, this or that or whatever. It shouldn't be based on that. It should be based on what you are qualified for, what you're qualified to do and who's the best to do it. Sam, what's your thoughts on the DEI thing, especially with fire department?

It's like, say like, Sam, I mean, you're a lesbian. You're a woman, obviously, because you wouldn't be a lesbian if you were a woman. There are some guys that want to be lesbians as well. Anyway, but what do you think about just the whole DEI process with getting into positions of power based on your status? Oh, hold on. Hold on, Sam. I think I'm muted you. Go ahead.

Can you hear me? Yep, I can hear you. Okay. I said I hate it a lot. Now, I don't know anything about this fire chief. She may be an amazing fire chief, but I can tell you one thing. It is not because she. she is a lesbian. That is not a measure of merit for being a firefighter.

To Megan Kelly's point, it's not. Now, some of her frustration in that rant is misdirected. You don't refill fire hydrants. That's all based on your water supply. And that's, you know, a larger issue with just the municipalities and whatnot. But nonetheless, there's the thing with DEI. Yes, there was a time. And you could even argue maybe it's still happening now that certain groups, demographics of people, whatever, were discriminated against. There likely was a time, even in California, however long ago,

that if you were gay or lesbian and you were a firefighter, just like in a lot of other jobs, you may have gotten a hard time, simply for that reason. But the goal should not be celebrating it. The goal should be irrelevance. At the time when there was discrimination,

your sexuality wasn't irrelevant because it was being pointed out and you were being unfairly treated for it. We don't want that. But now we've made it relevant in the other direction by having to mention that she's the first lesbian fire chief. Who cares? Who cares? It really doesn't matter. The goal should be that that's irrelevant because it is irrelevant has nothing to do with the job. Now, my criticism of her would be if she has been the one that has come in and is like, you know, supporting, doing all of the DEI training and whatnot. I don't know if that's been her initiative,

actually, that she started. That's what Megan Kelly says. I'm not sure. Sure. But nonetheless, we should just be shooting for like indifference there. It doesn't matter. And we, this is what I was saying earlier is that we tend to go in one direction too far. And then when we make the turn in the other direction, we totally overcorrect. And that's what's happened with DEI. And what's the other one, ESG scores, they give businesses or whatever. And a lot of them now, particularly in the last several months, are like, yeah, we're going to tap out of this. Like these companies are starting to see this is not sustainable.

California undoubtedly is going to be the last place that is going to figure this out if they ever do. But, you know, I have no issue with women being firefighters if they are capable of being firefighters or being whatever they will be. Qualified. Yes. That's the main thing. Can you do the job? Period. Yeah.

We don't care if you, who you are. Can you put the fire out? That's what her point was. Yeah. And did you have a jumpstart into your job? your leadership position especially. Like the leadership positions. Yeah, that's true too, because you think about her, she probably was never even a firefighter.

She went to the top probably. Well, that's not necessarily true. She may have been, but I mean, we saw that in the military. Like, you know, in the military especially, it's like there have been positions in the military because they were gay or lesbian or black or Indian or whatever, Mexican, they jumped leadership roles that was not the normal. normal process, right? And that is what DEI does. It says, hey, you don't have to follow the guidelines of everybody else. We're going to to supersede the rules and we're going to jump

you in line. That's what we're doing. You may jump 20 people that are more qualified, but because you were this, we're going to put you in this position. Well, that happens in colleges, too. And that is the problem with military. That is a problem maybe potentially in Los Angeles Fire. But it's not, it's not because of DEI of like, is there a lesbian fire chief? Is there? It doesn't matter. Yeah. But if she's qualified. If she's qualified. But even still, it could be a it's not. And by the way, this also goes back to it has nothing to do with she's a lesbian or a female. It has to do with are you qualified and how did you get there? It also has to do it like, Why are, why is the, is the state of California like the worst managed state in the

freaking country when it comes to wildfires, but yet they are the most likely for wildfires at the country? Like, that is what is fucking crazy to me. Because I can tell you that I have fought wildfires in North Carolina in the fire department, not like California, but like, you know, we had water under fire hydrants. We had thousands of acres burning before. We had shit like that. But like California is like, this is all politically based and it all has, it all boils down to climate change and politics and all the woke DIY bullshit.

And, and I think if anything, Sam, hopefully that this is going to show the people in California what they voted for. I really hope it does. I mean, I hope this wildfire is like the last four years of this country. I hope this is the awakening for that. state to show them the same shit that the Biden administration showed America the past four years. Yeah, but hopefully we can reroute the water in California and make California beautiful again. Beautiful. Maba.

Maba. Mabba. Macbap. Macbub. Mickba. Yeah. Mickba. Yeah.

Maybe Sherry, maybe. Maybe we can do Mickba. Sherry and I are. going to buy an RV. We will be out in California. We're going to make a big a, make a bigma thing. Make California a beautiful state. It is. It really is. It's sad what they're doing to it. And it's huge. That's the thing is like we, the part of California that we see and we know about, we hear about and what we think about when we hear California and all the negative connotations is really just concentrated into such

small areas in comparison to the rest of the state. I don't know if you've ever been to Northern California, but it's gorgeous. Yeah, but a lot of, Chad, you say politics, but there's a big majority of Californians that are Republicans, and they don't stand for that. But I'm saying, I know, but what I'm saying is the state is run by politics from the left. And yes, you're right. I mean, outside of like the big inner city center, inner city centers, there's a lot of Republicans, conservatives. I mean, like I said, California is our number one state. Los Angeles is our number one city in America that listens to us, which is crazy.

Yeah, and we're praying for you guys. Yeah, we are. I mean, like I said, when we go to demographics, we always see Los Angeles. Guys, we are praying for you. We hope that everything works out. Sherry and I are going to buy an RV. I think we've already thought about us and talked about this. We're going to be traveling the country coming soon.

And so we're going to travel the country. Yeah, we're going to go pick up Sam and she's going to travel with us. Sam, come. Sam, you can do your job from the RV. Yeah, absolutely. But yeah, we're going to travel the country. And we want to meet with a lot of you guys. We'll just have to figure out, like, what is our biggest cities? Maybe do some meetups.

But we want to go out there and research stuff, whether it be drones, fucking force. There's no telling what's going to come in 2025. But we're going to do it in 2025. And so we hope that you guys fall along with us. And the best way, by the way, you guys can follow us is on X, on our Facebook and Instagram. Hey, Mark Zuckerberg saying this is going to be all good, baby. We ain't going to do no censorship no more because we are about to get screwed if we keep censoring people. That's literally what they're saying.

But anyways, guys, I apologize tonight for my voice. It sounds like complete shit. Yeah, it does. I'm sorry. I oh believe me I'm sorry to I've been listening to it for three weeks yeah and by the way Sherry Sherry has damn near killed me um the past three weeks yeah but Chad I have worked in my ass well you have you've had to do pretty much everything I mean she has and it's tough because like when you when you're sick like and you just cannot get over shit figure it out like if somebody

like gets paralyzed or whatever and they're paralyzed forever oh my God I I would not want to be in their situation with their husband. No, first of all, Sherry would not be with that person. I would be, like, kidding him with a broom. No. Let me tell you guys something. Have you ever heard, like, the analogy is like, if I ever got paralyzed, would you still stay with me? I can promise you, Sherry is a fucking no.

She is a fucking no. I already know that. I'm doing it, Chad. No. I promise you, that analogy is like, hey. Hey, if your wife ever got paralyzed, would you stay with her? And Sherry was like, fuck, no. I promise you that.

I'm just saying, dude. Chad, you have no idea. Oh, yes, I do. Sherry, I've freaking promised you. I have an idea. I promise you. Because I don't know, Sam, how many times Sam, you've been with us for a while? Sherry used to be sick all the freaking time.

Yeah, but I still did shit. No, not really. I picked up my own glass. Oh, I was not like, honey, can you get the water out of the refrigerator that's two feet away from me? Oh, shut on, bro. That is not what I do. It was not two feet. It was like a freaking four rooms.

Oh, no, it was not. It was in the same room. No, it was not. It was four freaking rooms, bro. Okay. Anyways, guys, we're going to set up a freaking webcam in here so we can see what's going on you guys can tune in I was just thinking

you needed a reality show of the sickness debacle oh my God it would be a shit show it would be like people probably be gone to cops on us no it's been weird because like I don't ever get sick and then like

I mean I used to get sick a lot yeah but Chad uses it to his no I do not no I don't because right now he's he's not sick he has laryngitis but he'll still use it. Oh my god.

He does. Yeah, I'm using it to talk in a freaking podcast. I can barely talk. Sherry's like, he'll use his cancer to his fucking benefit. That's what Sherry was saying. Like, if I had stage four fucking whatever, lung cancer,

she's like, yeah, he's using his lung cancer. Yeah, well, you still can put a fucking cup in a cup. Oh, whatever, dude. Yeah, if I got run over,

Sherry's like, yeah, he's using the fact that his half his body's gone. See, this is what Shire does. I'm just saying. Anyway, look, guys, I don't know if you have a wife like this. Whatever you do, just let me know, bro. Go watch.

What's that show? What, Landman? Yes. Yeah, no shit. Yeah, because I am kind of like that girl. I'm not doing this anymore, Chad. That's it. Oh, God.

You can get your own damn water. Sam, let me ask you, what do you got going on in your life right now? But because by the way, guys, Sam has been a great friend of ours for a long time. And we did ask Sam to come on just to help us out with the show. Thank you, Sam, so much. What are you going on in your life right now? Like, I know you haven't been, like, heavily involved in, like, our telegram and all that stuff. But what are you seeing about the world right now that's going on?

I mean, I know we talked about LA fires, but how do you see, I mean, Trump got president, right? Do you trust that? Do you feel like everything's going to be okay now? Nope. Not at all. Nope. I don't know. I mean, I'm still, I'm very curious to see what happens between now and the 20th. Like, I do try to not be so far down the conspiracy rabbit hole, but it's very hard after you've, you know, I mean, I've been awake now for like 10 years and there's so many things that people thought were crazy for the longest time. and then we find out that they're true or they're at least partially true or they're at least like unveiling to be incredibly plausible.

And so I don't, I mean, I'm a little bit concerned if, you know, if he's protected and this inauguration being outdoors. Like, it's funny because Tony Hinchcliffe had that joke about like you can kind of tell which side people are on because they'll tell you either that Trump got shot in the head or that a bullet grazed his ear. Yeah. And, but I mean, He really did get shot.

I mean, yes, it was like the result was minimal, but it could have been catastrophic. Oh, absolutely. The attempt was made. And then a second attempt was made. And regardless of who's behind it, it happened. And it's concerning to me, you know. And then the other thing I was saying earlier about the left now becoming conspiracy theorists, which is so highly entertaining to me, there is this whole swath of the left that is 100% convinced

that Kamala Harris has got something up her sleeve and they're going to unveil it at the last moment and that really she has been nominated this entire time like they are convinced of this. And I don't at all think that's the case but I don't know that they would not try to pull some shit at the last minute. I'm sure.

That's why I'm kind of like you. I like to see the other side, you know, constantly. Like I'll look at the other sides just to see what they're saying. And it's like, oh, my God. They're so opposite what I believe in. But they're starting to kind of change it, right? And to your point, too, as well,

and kind of bud the way you're saying, you know who I'm starting not to trust? Who? Take a guess. Elon Musk. Yep. Yeah. Yeah.

I agree. I mean, I don't know that I've ever completely trusted them. I know. And I haven't either, but there's a lot of weird shit going on on X that is, you know, And the weird thing is, like, you know, you got Mark Zuckerberg coming out saying, hey, we're going to have free speech, we're going to get rid of the fact checkers,

we're going to make people have community, you know, we're going to do this community. Notes thing like X. But then you have Elon Musk. You have a freaking Tesla cyber truck blowing up in Las Vegas from a whistleblower that says, you know, he has a thing about the drones. He has all this shit. Elon is not once commented on it. He has, he has diverted everything he said to some bullshit and, and, you know,

in Great Britain. Yep. It's like everything you're saying, Great Britain, Great Britain, Great Britain, Great Britain, don't worry about it. And then, and then, and then by the way, he bans and, like, listen, I'm not saying I agree

with the people he bans necessarily, like Fintet, not bans, but. No, I don't think you should ban anyone. But takes the checkmarks away. Yeah, he shouldn't do that either. Jake Shields. Uh, that looper girl, whatever. Laura Lumer.

Yeah, Laura Lumer, I think was also checkmark, uncheckmarked. Un-subscribed from all subscribers and then no accountability. Like he doesn't say shit. None of these people have answers. And this is like, I think. Yeah, it's the same thing.

There is a other side. Yeah, there was a report that Elon has banned more people than Jack Dorsey did in his last year. Damn. And that's not cool. I actually really, when I heard about all of that happening in the last couple of weeks, I don't like that at all. I really do believe in free speech.

And that includes people who I think. are dead wrong and say wild shit that I fervently disagree with. But I really do believe in what I say that I think we all, no one should be censored. And so it was really disheartening to see that he did exactly the same thing just from the other side that we've been seeing. And I think a lot of people feel betrayed by that because I think a lot of people really do feel like we do that like we genuinely want free speech. Yeah. And no matter if I hate you or. or not what you're saying.

Yes. You could be, you could be talking crazy shit about me. Fucking say it, though. It's your right. I mean, that's like, you know,

the, I can't, was it Wesleyan Baptist Church? The ones that would go out with like the God hates fags and all that stuff. Yeah. I probably just got your entire podcast demonetized.

Sorry. But, um, you know, being gay and seeing people that are going out, you know, holding these signs. And,

you know, I have been, in the way in the past to a couple of gay pride parades and at all of them there will be someone there who is like standing with a megaphone yelling scripture and how we're all going to burn hell I don't want that person to not be able to do that I'm fine with that I don't agree with them

and I think they're misguided and probably ignorant in a lot of ways but like I don't want to be like oh no this is my safe space like get them out of here I feel unsafe. Like, no, it's literally a free country. It is the First Amendment.

By all means, stand in the middle of the street with your microphone or megaphone and yell about how I'm going to hell. Doesn't bother me one bit. And unfortunately, Elon stood on that platform and now has shown that he actually doesn't believe that whatsoever. And as soon as someone came at him, he's using his power to silence them. Well, Sam, if you're going to hell because you're a lesbian, I'm fucking definitely going now.

for what, Chad? For what? Yeah. I mean, you name it. I don't know. I mean, for coughing all the time. No,

there, no, but the reality is there is there is no sin greater than the other technically. Oh, I know. Yeah, I know. You know,

and if they say being what you're born with is a sin or, by the way, they all, keep it in mind, we're all born sinners. No matter what you do. Yeah. Doesn't matter.

So if you're, if you're gay and you, considered as a sin? Well, you're, you're born that way. Now, I overeat. By the way, I'm born. I think I over love my puppy. I mean, there's a lot of sins I have.

But is that a sin to overlove your puppy? Yeah, probably. It's got to be because there's no question. Be careful who you say that to and what conduct. Oh, God. Yeah, yeah, that's true. It could actually be illegal. Oh, I'm not like that horse dude on Jerry Springer.

I didn't marry. I didn't marry my puppy. I just love my puppy. No, we actually watched that last night. The jury's finger stuff. Spoiler alert. That's what she calls Chad, her puppy. True. True.

But guys, listen, I'm sorry, my voice is so screwed up. I am so ready to be done with this sickness. But we're going to end this here. There's so much we can talk about. I know, especially with saying we could go on and on forever. I got to save my voice. I got to try.

to get ready for hopefully maybe tomorrow the next day podcast. I don't know. We're just on to play it by here. Yesterday I could not talk at all. You can ask Sherry, I was whispering to her. Yeah, and that drives me crazy more than anything. Go get this now. I don't say that. That's bullshit.

See, Sherry, dude, I'm just telling you all right now. I'm about to get an RV for my damn self. I'm about to travel the country for my damn. we're going to have two different podcasts called Investigate Port Earth, Sherry, and me. You guys can decide which one you want to listen to. Oh, while you're downstairs. Can you get this and this and this?

Shut the hell up, bro. Oh, my God. Sam, listen, thank you for coming on our show. Thank you guys. We love you like you're our sister. Love you guys too. We love you, Sam. Honestly.

I've missed participating as much as I used to be able to. Yes, I'm so glad you came on tonight. Yeah, we are for sure. Guys, there's so much we can talk about. We're going to talk about it as soon as we get a little bit better from this bullshit sickness. But Sam, like I said, thank you again for coming on. Sam, if you want to wait just a second, we're going to play this out with Welcome to the city. I felt like it was good.

I started with L.A. made you crazy because it was talking about the fires, right? And now we're going to play it out with Ella or sorry, welcome to the city by Ingrid Witt. Until next time, guys. We love you. Peace out, guys. Love you. I'll take you where the sun and soul is shining.
