00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:10,119
Welcome to softcore History. Welcome back
to softcore History. I'm your host for

2
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,919
the week Damn Chester, and I'm
joined as always by Rob Fox. Hello,

3
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:19,160
Hi, what's up? Not much? Jake's not here No, so

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,239
we had to go deep into our
bench. A five people said no to

5
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:26,679
us, and finally the guy who
just needed it. We have a really

6
00:00:26,719 --> 00:00:32,039
diverse roster as well. So do
we just white people? Not really?

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,200
Gabby's Latina? Yeah, I mean
not her soul. I don't think she

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,039
speaks Spanish. Yeah, you know, no, not like not socially,

9
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,880
like technically genetically she is, but
not a girl. Her soul is white,

10
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,520
yes as snow. Yeah, Alex, what's up? Man much?

11
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,240
Man? Just glad to be here. It's also weird calling you Alex.

12
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:57,640
Yeah. You. My wife called
him Alex the other day because you work

13
00:00:57,719 --> 00:01:00,920
for now and I was like,
it took me like five minutes to know

14
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,719
who the fuck she was talking about, Like this some other person that you

15
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,840
work with. It you've never talked
about before. So we're going back to

16
00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:12,439
the twenties because the last couple of
weeks I've I've not appreciated how far back

17
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,480
we've gone. You couldn't really grasp
the time. No, you don't like

18
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:19,560
ancient history. We did, Hannibal, Yeah, we did whatever you did,

19
00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:23,959
Hannible, You didn't. You fucking
did mushrooms and wrote about handle at

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,560
four in the morning. This is
true. Dan's you're all about the mushrooms

21
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,000
these days. Man, you you've
been. I saw you at the bar

22
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,840
last night. You're like, I
took like I ate like a whole bag

23
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,280
of mushrooms. I think I've had
enough mushroom experiences lately. Your brain open

24
00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:38,920
up enough now he's gazed into the
abyss and the abyss gazed back. You

25
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,280
just like, can't connect with the
moment. No. I thought that's what

26
00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:46,079
mushrooms would do, is connect you
at the moment. But instead you drifted

27
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:49,359
for I think that says something about
you. I drifted further away from the

28
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:53,680
light of God. That you need
to be terrified of what's inside of you

29
00:01:53,799 --> 00:01:57,560
right now, and I'm afraid of
what these mushrooms are awakening. Like you,

30
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,280
you opened up your brain and your
brain was like, no, Well,

31
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:04,439
the thing is, I think you
open it up too much. You

32
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:07,920
know, mushrooms are once a month
thing, tops, you know, or

33
00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:12,520
at least micro dose for sure.
But Yeah, if you're taking helpful,

34
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,199
you're eating a fistful of those those
caps, like just as casually as having

35
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:23,680
a beer with dinner, You're gonna
you're gonna have to pick up the pieces,

36
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,919
right. There was no reason for
me to do mushrooms before a round

37
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:31,560
of golf. Were you just like
the first person on earth addicted to mushrooms?

38
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,759
You just I just have a bunch. So I'm just like, as

39
00:02:35,759 --> 00:02:38,800
well, yeah, use it or
lose it. I guess it go bad.

40
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:40,840
No, I thought it would make
me better at golf. It did

41
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:44,599
not. Howl. Did you think
would make you better at golf? Like

42
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:50,039
you get like that three beer perfect
situation where it's like you're not anxious about

43
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:53,840
your swing anymore and not breaking it
down. Yeah, yea, maybe a

44
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:58,120
micro dose would help, But yeah, you're taking you can't act like you're

45
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,960
going to a fucking fish concert.
Plane. Well, there's a guy one

46
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,560
in the same there was that.
There was that MLB player, the pitcher

47
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,039
who like took a ship ton of
acid for Ellis doc Ellis. That's kind

48
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,759
of what I was going for.
I was like, maybe I'll have my

49
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,199
doc Ellis. The ball was like
getting bigger and smaller in his hands,

50
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,759
and there was a tiger behind home
plate at one point. But he threw

51
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,800
a perfect game like he that was
thanks in part to the incompetence of others,

52
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,319
because you can throw a perfect or
a no hitter, do a no

53
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:28,280
hitter. You can throw a no
hitter while walking. You could give up

54
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:31,080
literally a hundred runs and still throw
a no hitter. Yeah yeah, but

55
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:34,520
you can't the golf. That's not
the same. In golf. You can't

56
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,719
just be like hitting terrible shots and
then somehow still make a birdie. I

57
00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:42,919
was actually hitting the ball pretty well. Okay, it was more short game

58
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,639
put in just general. Doc Ellis
dominated too, though, because he was

59
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:52,439
so erratic at the plate, like
people couldn't dig throwing that. People were,

60
00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:54,080
you know, some someone was hit
me in the head, you know,

61
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,360
next one fucking dots the corner.
Yeah, people like what is this

62
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,080
guy? You know? He it
was impossible to read. We did an

63
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,000
episode on him a long time again
for Black History Month. Yeah yeah,

64
00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:10,080
like a Black History Month. We
went like athlete entertainer. It was bad.

65
00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:13,919
I did. I did an ancient
African civilization. The rest of you

66
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:19,000
were just like named punt. Michael
Jordan or something stupid like that. Uh,

67
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,160
you know, sometimes gimmicks failed.
Oh my god, what are you

68
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,160
insinuating here? Can I'm saying we
failed. I'm not saying. Okay,

69
00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:33,040
you know, Black History Month,
historians historians, and quote failed. I

70
00:04:33,079 --> 00:04:35,879
don't even think quotes are strong enough. Yeah, I know, if you're

71
00:04:35,879 --> 00:04:41,040
gonna call us historians morons, like
their quote, but it's just like five

72
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:46,120
crying laughing emojis on each side.
Today we're gonna talk about the California water

73
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:51,279
Wars. Okay, shouts the discord
for the topic. Figured i'd take this.

74
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:58,240
Wasn't this as my father is a
notorious waterman. Waterman yeah, big

75
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,759
union guy kind of kind. He's
in a union, yeah, big yeah,

76
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,000
big union guy. I don't know
if he rides for it. He's

77
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,079
not like striking with the Giant and
flipp but he's not he's not trying to

78
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,279
get his legs broken by the fucking
mob or something like that, or by

79
00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:16,759
teamsters who were just like fucking joined. Well, fuck, we'll fuck you

80
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:23,079
up. Teamster has just got ups, the teamsters for ups. Just like

81
00:05:23,439 --> 00:05:26,560
the average salary for a UPS driver
is gonna be like one hundred and sixty

82
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,759
thousand. Now the teamsters negotiated hard. It's pretty sick. I'm gonna go

83
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:35,319
work for ups? Should Yeah?
Why should I make podcasts when I can

84
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:39,079
go just drive around and listen to
them. No, it could be a

85
00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:42,360
tough job. I mean you got
you know driving could be stressful, and

86
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:46,279
then you got like, I don't
know, angry dogs. It is different.

87
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,879
Driving is definitely different when you're on
the clock, for sure. I've

88
00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:50,879
only ever don't had to get like
once or twice, and it was not

89
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,199
as bad because you're like, all
right, traffic not my fucking problem.

90
00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:59,519
That's actually how this podcast came about. I was listening to a history podcast

91
00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:03,279
and I'm like, we do this
funny, right, steal their content and

92
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:08,759
then just be like talk about Wieners
here. Yeah. Yeah, I've only

93
00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:13,199
stolen like two episodes from none.
Okay, I don't gonna fuck. They

94
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:17,639
don't own history, right right.
It's like when Barstool used to remembers one

95
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:21,720
time when my brother did those Man
on the Street videos for TFM. He

96
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:27,959
only did like two or three.
But someone from Barstool, back when Barstool's

97
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,600
whole stick was being extremely combative just
get and saying that everyone stole jokes from

98
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,920
them. Someone was like, someone
accused us of stealing their video format.

99
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,600
They stole Man on this Oh Man
on the Street. That was yeah,

100
00:06:41,399 --> 00:06:45,639
yeah, invented that. Yeah.
I was just like, my brother was

101
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,360
all past. He wasn't used to
it, so he like saw it and

102
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,560
was all passed off, and I
was like, just don't Andy Melanochus certainly

103
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,560
didn't do it. On The Man
Show, j Letto was doing it like

104
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,839
the nineties. It's like the most
basic, dude, they know they did

105
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,000
this since since cameras existed. It
was like one of the first ideas.

106
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,199
Literally, Yeah, it is low
hanging fruit. Though I would never want

107
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,839
to do it, It's it could
be fun. It's okay, it's the

108
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,959
lowest because you just edit anyone to
look like an ass, like a fucking

109
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,399
moron. Yeah, dude, you
can't even go on Sixth Street now without

110
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:17,199
seeing at least five of those guys
on those YouTubers doing their Man on the

111
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:21,120
Street interview. It did a podcast
on Sixth Street once which put this one

112
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,079
no just a random podcast? What
you got interviewed? Yeah, you just

113
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:29,720
you went up and they were just
like, hey, we're the whatever podcast

114
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,879
in Austin Sweet and they interviewed a
bunch of drunk people on six Street.

115
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,279
All right, there's there's a million
of these. Now, I said I

116
00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:38,959
wouldn't go on sixth Street because you'll
get fucking shot. It used to be

117
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,360
that used to be like a misnomer, you know what I mean, Like

118
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,199
I got shut up, old man. But now I am like, yeah,

119
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:47,360
maybe, but I'm also old.
So well, let's go to another

120
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:54,000
dangerous situation. Let's go to California. May twenty first, nineteen twenty four,

121
00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:59,000
the water Wars, A thunderous explosion
rocked the Owens Valley near the town

122
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:05,759
Lone Pine, California, centered on
a lonely stretch of the Los Angeles Aqueduct

123
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,720
north of town. The explosion,
caused by the detonation of five hundred pounds

124
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:15,759
of dynamite, shattered one wall of
the carefully engineered conduit channel in water to

125
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,920
the distant city. Was this naturally
occurring dynamite It's tough to say. So

126
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,439
someone might have put it there potentially, Okay, so this wasn't dynamite that

127
00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:28,319
just grew on the spot. Are
you talking about bobombs from Zelda? Like

128
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,200
those bombs Flowers from Zelda. I've
been playing Tears of the Kingdom, so

129
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,559
that sick into my mind. Yeah, I don't know if it was a

130
00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:39,440
natural formation of dynamite. Okay,
okay, So this sounds like something suspicious

131
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:45,320
happened. Something is afoot. Okay
m M. By the time investigators arrived

132
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,080
on the scene the next morning,
millions of gallons of the precious stuff have

133
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,519
been wasted, and Moore was running
out of the aqueduct with each pass in

134
00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:56,320
a minute. People kind of forget, like because they think of like La

135
00:08:56,639 --> 00:08:58,480
and like the sort of lush area
around there, but most of the southern

136
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:03,240
California is like kind of uninhabitable.
It's a desert. Yeah, La,

137
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:05,840
it's just like this little like it. It's actually it's like an actual oasis.

138
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,720
Yeah. Tensions have been similar in
in the Owens Valley for some time,

139
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,480
but until now the trouble hadn't advanced
beyond threats and inconclusive standoffs. But

140
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,360
May twenty first, nineteen twenty four, the bombing signaled and escalation of the

141
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:24,519
conflict to a new, more violent
plane. As the head of the LA

142
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:31,120
Department of Water and Power, William
Mulholland, heard about the bombing in the

143
00:09:31,159 --> 00:09:35,759
early morning on a telephone. You
know who? I believe that is probably

144
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:41,120
William Mulholland person. I assume who
Mulholland Drive. The famous Mulholland Drive in

145
00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:43,840
Los Angeles is name for That's what
I thought of too, that's I assume

146
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:48,399
Mulholland Drive is named for him.
If I had to guess, you'll be

147
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:52,240
right. This is okay. This
is also like a plot point in Chinatown.

148
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,960
Yep. Yeah, I was gonna
say it's kind of an underlying theme.

149
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,759
I don't know if it's a plot
point. It like they just kind

150
00:09:58,759 --> 00:10:01,039
of like allude to it. Okay, Yeah, maybe that's what it is.

151
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,879
Yeah. Yeah, because Jack Nicholson's
like investigate in something. I think

152
00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:09,039
it originally has to do with water, and then he gets like much deeper

153
00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:11,159
into other weird shit. Because what
we're talking about is gonna be the water

154
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,840
Wars and the twenties. Okay,
this is a continuous battle throughout I think

155
00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:20,120
up to like the seventies and eighties. Oh shit, all right, yeah,

156
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:22,559
because believe it or not, California
doesn't produce a whole lot of water.

157
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,639
Yeah, yeah, weird, crazy, Yeah, William Mahaland heard about

158
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,120
the explosion on the telephone call.
He had an emergency session with the La

159
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,759
City Council. We had heard of
threats from disgruntled persons, but going on

160
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:41,000
the theory that barking dogs do not
bite, we did not pay any attention

161
00:10:41,039 --> 00:10:48,399
to them last night. They bit. Barking dogs frequently bite. I feel

162
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,000
like, yeah, I feel like
a if a dog barks a lot,

163
00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:54,639
it will eventually bite you. Yeah, but I don't know the really quiet

164
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,480
ones that just give you that look. That's just like I feel like even

165
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,240
the assholes are still like a right
before they fucking like. There's no a

166
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,360
pit bull doesn't quietly eat a toddler, you know what I mean, what's

167
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,600
its natural enemy? Yeah it is, Yeah, pit bulls and children since

168
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:18,440
time immemorial, and teamsters and toddlers
are oh yeah, yeah, that's true.

169
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,039
This is why they won't employed children
at EPs. They might in Arkansas.

170
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,039
Now, you never know, because
I believe they passed child labor laws

171
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,759
to uh, you're no longer need
to get signed off. So I think

172
00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:33,000
they just lowered the age to twelve. I know they yearned for the mines,

173
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:37,960
The children yearned for the mines.
Imagine just next time you get a

174
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,279
package, it's just a twelve year
old just delivering in his brown ups suit.

175
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:45,840
I love that. It's like a
Newsy. But for Amazon now they're

176
00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:50,159
just like, I don't even know
what you fucking order off Amazons at this

177
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,440
point, Yeah you don't. It's
gonna be a self driving cards. Have

178
00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:56,360
the fucking twelve year old pop out
put a fucking package until you replace him

179
00:11:56,399 --> 00:11:58,919
in five years with a drone that
like one of those dogs that fucking just

180
00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:03,960
put the package out, the Boston
Robotics dogs. Yeah, these kids have

181
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,639
to make money while they can,
otherwise they're gonna get forced out by the

182
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,639
AI. Yeah right, oh yeah, and the robots they'll never have it.

183
00:12:09,639 --> 00:12:11,600
It's the only job they ever gonna
have. We were talking about this

184
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,639
bush the other day, just how
AI and robotics they're gonna eventually. Oh

185
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,759
yeah, they're gonna be the superior
species. Yeah, they went. It's

186
00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:22,519
wild though that we always thought that
the first jobs to be replaced by AI

187
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:26,320
would be the manual labor jobs,
but instead they just went right for the

188
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,720
throats of the liberal arts majors,
like all the graphic designers, all the

189
00:12:30,799 --> 00:12:33,679
writers, those are the people getting
replaced. How do you use it while

190
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,279
you can? Yeah, figure it
out. I mean that's what you're doing,

191
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,720
right, You're just chat GPT.
Please write all these articles for me.

192
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,840
No, no, sorry, she
doesn't listen to this podcast. You

193
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,559
can tell me. No, I've
I've something I've Like I said, I

194
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,519
tried it a little bit, but
like it just sounds too robotic, and

195
00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:54,840
then I say, make its sound
more human, and it doesn't spruce it

196
00:12:54,919 --> 00:12:58,200
up, right, you just have
you haven't, right, like a rough

197
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,159
outline. Well, that's what I've
done that. I've done that before,

198
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,679
but I go back in and it
ends up taking longer to spruce it up

199
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,960
than if I just write it myself. Really, But yeah, but that

200
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:13,000
is what like the writers are striking
about, is that like they'll basically they'll

201
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,399
only get paid to like spruce things
up. Now. Yeah, they won't

202
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:18,200
hang out there because the you know, the studio just be like chat GPT

203
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:24,399
Captain America Versus Predator Go, And
then you know, the chat GPT will

204
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:28,679
come up with some shooty story,
but it'll be their ip, not the

205
00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:33,360
rider's ip, and then they'll hire
some chud rider to just fix it.

206
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,320
Yeah, you know what I meant, and I think for like nine hundred

207
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,399
thousand dollars and it's like head of
AI. Yeah, and essentially it's just

208
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,000
you put it in the right prompts. Yeah. What would happen if Captain

209
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:48,039
America fought the Predator and then you
hire some guy who used to be a

210
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:54,039
brilliant writer and you'd dumb it down? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

211
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,720
it's wild man, I'm okay with
that. Yes, hey, bitch,

212
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,799
go right Captain America versus Predator.
We just have to accept our overlords

213
00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:09,000
are coming. Yeah, you know
we're gonna get replaced in by what somebody

214
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:15,519
will just take the AI, Yeah, to then produce a podcast with our

215
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,720
voices without us actually being there.
I hope it happens soon because I don't

216
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,679
want to have to teach my children
work ethic because they'll they'll they'll know I'm

217
00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:26,200
a liar. Right, So if
all the jobs we can just all be

218
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,360
like fatties like in Wally, do
you know how much easier in my life

219
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,480
be as a parent, I don't
have to like I just basically have to

220
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,480
tell them, like, don't it's
actually assault anyone. That's the only thing

221
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,000
they need to know, I would
love to see your kids become like super

222
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,960
blue collar like work in construction,
ripping heaters. H Well, I smoked

223
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,039
for years, so dude, that's
that's the future. We're all going to

224
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,279
be doing manual labor, digging ditches
while the AI makes art. Human beings

225
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,360
go back to using their actual hands. They actually, this is the conspiracy

226
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,720
theory I just came up with.
AI has been around long, a little

227
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,360
bit longer than we know, and
they and feeding into this thing that like

228
00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:05,200
this this idea that men aren't men
anymore and we need to stop all this

229
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,360
soft hands pussy shit and work the
hard jobs again to relearn how to be

230
00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:13,960
men. And then AI takes all
the cushy dope art jobs and they get

231
00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:16,399
us to be their slaves, and
we're all like, oh yeah, I'm

232
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,360
out in the heat breaking bricks and
shit. Ayi's just like, but we

233
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,399
still have that card. We can
play against the AI and the robots and

234
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,360
just call them bitch ass pussies.
I don't think they're gonna care. They

235
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:31,639
won't because they don't have emotions.
Yeah, but we have that we'd be

236
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:33,840
like to fall yeah. Yeah.
It's like literally yelling at a wall.

237
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,279
It's like me pointing at a wall
and being like gay. So the wall

238
00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:43,399
does not mind. It'll just shoot
some pills in your mouth and you'll go

239
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,039
back to breaking bricks. Right.
We enslaved ourselves. It's coming. But

240
00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:52,000
yeah, it's just a matter of
time before someone teaches them emotions too.

241
00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:54,120
Though, in response to the bomb
in the city sent a team of law

242
00:15:54,200 --> 00:16:00,039
enforcement officers north to assist the local
sheriff's office in the investigation, followed by

243
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,320
gaggle of newspaper reporters and photographers.
Over the next few days, as water

244
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,600
department workers moved to repair their damage, it became clear what had happened in

245
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,919
that remote stretch of valley. Rabah, hate to break it to you.

246
00:16:12,159 --> 00:16:18,399
Not natural? Oh fuck, who
would do that? Now? People get

247
00:16:19,559 --> 00:16:25,279
footprints, entire tracks around the blast
site indicated about a caravan of some forty

248
00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:30,519
people have been involved in this act
of domestic terrorism. Jesus Christ, how

249
00:16:30,559 --> 00:16:33,879
many people do you need a plant
dynamite? It was on a dam,

250
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,240
like on the side of a dam
the pipeline. Yeah, I think I

251
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:42,200
don't think you need forty people.
And although the LA papers at first speculated

252
00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:48,799
wildly about the source and the conspiracy
attributing to the bombs to anarchist members of

253
00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:53,279
the Radical Industrial Workers of the World
Union, or even private power companies seeking

254
00:16:53,320 --> 00:17:00,240
to disrupt the city's attempt to develop
a hydroelectric capacity. The perpetrators were soon

255
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:06,039
revealed to be local residents. Why
would they do such a thing? Detectives

256
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:08,960
trace the dynamite to a nearby warehouse
that just happened to be owned by the

257
00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:15,680
Waterson Brothers, leaders of the Owens
Valley Irrigation District. And they were born

258
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,799
for that job. I know that
name is on the nose. Jesus Christ.

259
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,079
Also, I was about to be
like, is this like a Chavez

260
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,200
Ravine situation, you know, like
where Dodger Stadium is where they just pushed

261
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,279
out a bunch of Mexicans. I'll
get to it. Okay, we're gonna

262
00:17:29,279 --> 00:17:30,680
get to the background. We're doing
a little bit of a Nolan thing.

263
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:36,319
Okay, where I already explained that
an explosion happened, right when you're jumping

264
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,480
back and forward, when you start
with the most exciting thing, you start

265
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,440
with the most exciting thing. Now
we're going to get into how the explosion

266
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:45,119
happened. It's, you know,
something crazy happens at the beginning. The

267
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,400
dynamite explodes freeze frame on a guy
running away, and then there's narration.

268
00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:55,480
I bet you're wondering how I got
here. You're probably wondering how I got

269
00:17:55,559 --> 00:18:02,079
up in this situation. Then you
know cut two three weeks earlier. Detective

270
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:07,599
Jack Diamond later remarked, every resident
of Owen's Valley knows who did the dynamite

271
00:18:07,599 --> 00:18:11,000
in, but no one will tell
because it's pretty much the whole town.

272
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:17,759
Yeah, they're arcs. They're not
gonna fucking snitch on their other. Like

273
00:18:17,759 --> 00:18:19,359
there's only nine of them in the
town, there forty of them. I

274
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,000
guess is that like a town show, Like they all just went to watch

275
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,200
it together. Yeah, So Owen's
Valley, these people, these farmers,

276
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:33,160
they took that land rightfully from the
natives in the eighteen hundreds, well from

277
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,359
the natives of the Mexicans who took
it from the natives. It was it

278
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,960
was a native group, okay.
Cool. So as Los Angeles expanded during

279
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,319
the late nineteenth century, it began
outgrowing its water supply. Fred Eaton,

280
00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:48,799
former mayor of Los Angeles, promoted
a plan to take water from Owen's Valley

281
00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:56,480
to Los Angeles via an aqueduct.
The aqueduct construction was overseen by Maholland and

282
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,480
was finished in nineteen thirteen. So
in nineteen undred the population of LA was

283
00:19:00,519 --> 00:19:04,640
one hundred thousand, and by nineteen
twenty it was five hundred thousand, seventy

284
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,079
five hundred and seventy six thousand.
My notes showed it was like two hundred

285
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,920
thousand in nineteen twenty in La Los
Angeles. I got this here from the

286
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,319
fucking oh maybe about nineteen thirteen,
nineteen thirteen, it was, I don't

287
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,240
nineteen ten it was three hundred and
nineteen thousand. Okay, Well my notes

288
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,359
say otherwise. Okay, but you
know I can get to that. It's

289
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,400
fine. I was just wondering how
I was more wondering how big it exploded,

290
00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:33,599
Like what it went from a mill. It went from one hundred thousand

291
00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:38,000
to a million people allegedly in thirty
years, which is insane. It's very

292
00:19:38,039 --> 00:19:42,720
austin Esque. Now. Furderick Eaton
and William Maholland were two of the more

293
00:19:42,839 --> 00:19:48,400
visible principles in the California water wars. They were friends, having worked together

294
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,680
in the private Los Angeles Water Company
in the eighteen eighties. In eighteen eighty

295
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:57,599
six, Eaton became city engineer and
Maholland became superintendent of the water Company.

296
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:03,079
In eighteen ninety eight, Eaton was
elected mayor of Los Angeles and was instrumental

297
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,240
in converting the water Company to city
control in nineteen o two, when the

298
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:12,119
company became the Los Angeles Water Department. Maholland continued to be superintendent due to

299
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,640
the extensive knowledge of the water system. Sounds like he had a little bit

300
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,720
of monopoly on that, a lot
of backhanded deals going on here, and

301
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:26,400
a huge monopoly on being bros with
the mayor. It does help, It

302
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,559
helps, Yeah, I don't fault
anyone. Eaton and ma Holland had a

303
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,680
vision of Los Angeles that would become
far larger than the Los Angeles of the

304
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,680
start of the twentieth century. The
limited factor of Los Angeles' growth was water

305
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,480
supply. If you don't get the
water, you won't need it, Maholland

306
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:48,039
famously remarked. Eaton and Maholland realized
that the Owens Valley had a large amount

307
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:53,920
of runoff from the Sierra Nevadas,
and a gravity fed aqueduct could deliver the

308
00:20:53,960 --> 00:21:00,880
Owen's water to La So Los Angeles
in nineteen hundred was the thirty sixth biggest

309
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:07,400
city. Wow, still small.
It was smaller than Saint Joseph, Missouri.

310
00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:12,079
Yeah, smaller than Columbus, Ohio. What's because before all this group

311
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:18,799
of kookie Jewish people who thought that
they could make money by instead of having

312
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,519
plays, they filmed the plays before
they decided to move to a place they

313
00:21:22,519 --> 00:21:26,359
called Hollywood. It was nothing.
Well, they were pushed out by Edison,

314
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,599
who was trying to have like a
stranglehold on the film community in the

315
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:36,079
East coast. Okay, went out
west and themselves the four biggest, five

316
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:38,759
biggest cities in the US in nineteen
hundred, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,

317
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,079
Saint Louis number four. Okay,
and then Boss, this is the

318
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:47,200
only reason you brought it up.
Yeah, you had to get Saint Louis.

319
00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:51,000
Louis. We used to be somebody, used to be contender. We

320
00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:56,000
did. We used to be.
So from nineteen o two to nineteen oh

321
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,720
five, Eaton and Maholland use underhanded
methods to obtain water rights and block the

322
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:07,599
Bureau of Reclamation. The Regional engineer
of the Bureau Joseph lipping Cott was a

323
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:14,079
close associate of Eaton, so some
shady stuff going on. Eaton was a

324
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,920
agent for the Bureau through lipping Cott, so Eaton could access inside information about

325
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,440
the water rights and could recommend action
to the Bureau that would be beneficiary to

326
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:29,160
LA. I mean Los Angeles is
like a very underrated corrupt city. You

327
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,240
know, Chicago, New Orleans,
like they get all the they get all

328
00:22:33,279 --> 00:22:40,240
the hype, but deeply corrupt city. Lost everyone's seen training day, Yeah,

329
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:47,200
training Day, LA Confidential Chinatown.
That's why the two the two primary

330
00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:49,440
You took film class in college,
right, film classes in college. That's

331
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,319
a film major. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So you know the two

332
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,640
cities really like that noirs are supposed
to take place in to be like a

333
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,880
true noir LA and New York in
New York, yeah, and Gotham.

334
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,319
Oh, I didn't know noir was
relegated to specific cities. It was just

335
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,839
mostly like that's where it got to. I mean, like it doesn't have

336
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,400
to be in those cities. But
that's like a classic noir or situation.

337
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:17,160
Think about a fen fatal. It's
usually like a former actress, maybe somebody

338
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:22,799
of the stage. You don't know
me, that's nothing. I could do

339
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,799
something, lady, I mean like
no, no, no, no,

340
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,880
like love to me and then she
fus a detective. So by nineteen oh

341
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,160
seven, Eaton was busy acquiring key
water rights and traveling to Washington to meet

342
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,759
with advisors of Teddy Roosevelt to convince
them that the water of the Owens River

343
00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:45,960
would do more good flowing through the
faucets of Los Angeles. Just give it

344
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,119
to us, Just give it to
us. Fuck these redneck farmers. And

345
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,720
by the way, the red the
farmers never went to this day, like

346
00:23:53,759 --> 00:24:02,400
yeah, ever, farmers haven't won
in America since like pre Civil War.

347
00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:07,440
Probably what a beating of a job. I feel like most farmers don't even

348
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,759
break They were like, hey,
we need your land, so you got

349
00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:15,480
less land and make food on Also
we need more food. Most farmers today

350
00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:19,319
have second jobs that they have They
have to get insurance because they don't ever

351
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,960
break even, so they have to
cover their cost for the year. That's

352
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:29,319
fun. Yeah, it's called it
get like shitty job insurance. Right.

353
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,319
You just go to work every day
and you're like, well, I hope

354
00:24:32,319 --> 00:24:33,799
I don't owe money at the end
of the day. Like the only people

355
00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:38,559
who do that are farmers and professional
gamblers. And your boy is not owing

356
00:24:38,599 --> 00:24:41,680
money this week. Hell, yet
braids are getting crushed right now. What

357
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,799
Oh, oh, we're fine.
No, No, we're fine. Uh,

358
00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:49,759
that doesn't matter. That was just
kind of a bonus, little sprinkled

359
00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:55,079
bucknus. The dispute over the Owens
River water became a political dispute in Washington.

360
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,920
Los Angeles needed rights of the way
across federal land to build the aquid

361
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,400
California. Senator Frank Flint sponsored a
bill to grant the rights of way,

362
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:11,599
but Congressman Sylvester Smith of Inyo County
opposed the bill. Smith argued that the

363
00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:18,079
irrigated in southern California was not more
valuable than irrigadon Owens Valley. While he

364
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:25,440
promise was being negotiated, Flint appealed
to President Roosevelt. Roosevelt met with Flint,

365
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:32,359
Secretary of Interior Ethan A. Hitchcock, Bureau of Forest Commissioner Gifford Pinshot,

366
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,440
and Director of Geological Survey Charles D. Walcott. In this meeting,

367
00:25:37,519 --> 00:25:42,839
Roosevelt decided in favor of LA of
course he did, which actually not of

368
00:25:42,839 --> 00:25:45,200
course you I'm a little bit surprised
on his part, but at the end

369
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,359
of the day, you gotta go
with. You gotta go with what's gonna

370
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,920
be better for the country in the
long round. Yeah, And a lot

371
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,240
of people compare this project to what
he did in Panama at the Panama can

372
00:25:56,279 --> 00:26:00,240
Now, Well, there is a
huge reason why he wouldn't, maybe with

373
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:06,960
LA and expanding the population of Los
Angeles. Pretty decent ports there. Yeah,

374
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,599
I think I think you can get
other farmers. Yeah, you can

375
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,640
get other farmers, but there are
so it is actually interesting. I saw

376
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,680
this. Okay, it was a
TikTok video, so get grain of salt,

377
00:26:17,599 --> 00:26:22,599
but it sounded legit. It was
basically like the US has like there,

378
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,680
Like the US is like insanely overpowered
for a number of like natural like

379
00:26:27,799 --> 00:26:33,119
geographic reasons aside from all the other
stuff. One is our river system as

380
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,759
dope as fuck and like it's great
to travel down and all stuff like that.

381
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,079
And the other thing is we just
have like an insane amount of deep

382
00:26:40,079 --> 00:26:44,759
water ports, like way more than
even other countries are sized do, like

383
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:51,640
India or China or Russia, like
just way more usable deep water ports.

384
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,279
We got two oceans in the Gulf. Yeah, but there's I mean,

385
00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:00,160
it's it's crazy how many just like
dope assports we have in Los Angeles is

386
00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:03,759
one of them, and I think
now it's the busiest port in the world,

387
00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:08,279
certainly in the United States, I
think, but it probably wasn't even

388
00:27:08,279 --> 00:27:11,519
that open yet at that point.
So you get more people in there,

389
00:27:11,519 --> 00:27:15,359
you get more infrastructure to open up
that port, more trade. Yeah,

390
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,240
you can go fucking farm somewhere else. They go to the middle of the

391
00:27:18,279 --> 00:27:19,640
country, guys. And by the
way, where is what county is this?

392
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,400
This is just like a neighborhood in
La now, probably this valley,

393
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,839
Owen's River. It's quite a ways
out, Okay it they had to build

394
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,799
like I think, like almost close
to two hundred miles of pipeline. Oh

395
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:34,599
shit, all right, it's a
big project. So the aqueduct was sold

396
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,799
to the citizens of Los Angeles as
vital to the growth of the city.

397
00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:41,960
Unknown to the public, the initial
water would be used to irrigate the San

398
00:27:42,039 --> 00:27:45,759
Fernando Valley to the north, which
was not a part of the city at

399
00:27:45,759 --> 00:27:51,440
the time. Damn, this is
way far away. This is like one

400
00:27:51,519 --> 00:27:56,319
hundred miles past Bakers it's by Fresno. Yes, Jesus Christ. They're really

401
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:04,759
going far away because they need that
that runoff from the mountains from the Sierra

402
00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:08,200
Nevadas. That is where so California. Yeah, that's where it gets most

403
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,160
of the waters snow melt. What
I want to know is, so they

404
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:18,119
built this pipeline from their city to
la and then eventually they bombed it.

405
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:23,680
But like, did they did they
not try to interfere while the instruction the

406
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,759
construction was going on, you know
that seems like that would be the ideal

407
00:28:26,759 --> 00:28:32,440
time to throw a wrench into the
situation. The former mayor Frederick Eaton,

408
00:28:33,079 --> 00:28:37,359
he goes to Owen's Valley and just
starts buying up land. There we go.

409
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:44,000
He buys up land and then sells
it back to the government at a

410
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,920
premium. Oh yeah, or rents
it to the government at a premium.

411
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:53,559
Yeah. Yeah, called it.
And then we have that movie coming out

412
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,519
with Scorsese, Killers of the Flower
Moon. I feel like that's a similar

413
00:28:57,559 --> 00:29:02,519
situation of this. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of this went down in

414
00:29:02,559 --> 00:29:06,839
like the early twentieth century. People
think that find an oil on your land,

415
00:29:07,319 --> 00:29:08,720
you know, you hit the jackpot. I think it's a Beverly hillbilly

416
00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:11,799
situation. But really, someone just
comes in and fucking murders someone drinks your

417
00:29:11,839 --> 00:29:15,599
milk. Hip, Yeah, that's
all that really happens. You're not moving

418
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,279
to Beverly Hills. You're moving to
You're great. The Beverly Hillbillies would have

419
00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:26,799
been fucking murdered, honest, no
one's could have missed that family. Yeah,

420
00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:30,359
absolutely, Cement pond ly like she
might. They might as someone might

421
00:29:30,359 --> 00:29:33,839
have kept her, I guess,
but the rest of them just bullet in

422
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,759
the head. That would have been
one episode long, and it's just been

423
00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:45,200
Oh no, Paul, there's some
men at the It's like a five minute

424
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,559
they'll get on your knees, put
it in your mouth, good night,

425
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:55,680
say god, Bust America. From
nineteen oh seven through nineteen thirteen, Mahaland

426
00:29:55,759 --> 00:30:00,400
directed the building of the Aqueduct.
The two hundred and thirty three mile Los

427
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,240
Angeles aqueduc opened up in November of
nineteen thirteen. It required more than two

428
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:10,759
thousand workers and digging of one hundred
and sixty four tunnels, so creating jobs,

429
00:30:11,599 --> 00:30:15,839
you know, for that town.
Though, No, I mean,

430
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,599
why wouldn't I feel like that could
have been their perfect solution, Just get

431
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,359
all these people but they're not gonna
work for it, because it's like you're

432
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,480
taking our water. We're not gonna
work for you too. Couldn't they just

433
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,720
have one of those tunnels go back
to the town, you know, like

434
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,519
why would they have to just rape
that town of its resources? Why couldn't

435
00:30:30,559 --> 00:30:36,200
they just help them too? Where
do they want money? Is that the

436
00:30:36,279 --> 00:30:41,599
issue? They wanted to fuck them? Fuck the fuck them? Well?

437
00:30:41,599 --> 00:30:45,839
Should we give them a little?
What? No? Fuck what? Look

438
00:30:45,839 --> 00:30:51,160
at them? Fuck them? They're
gross, dude, they yeah, that's

439
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,000
all you just fuck them. They're
gross rednecks. That is like. But

440
00:30:55,119 --> 00:31:00,119
honestly, though I don't know,
probably for the best God think about.

441
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,359
It's not even about like, oh
we need movies, like that's all La

442
00:31:03,519 --> 00:31:08,400
is. Therefore, it is a
fucking It is like the busiest port again

443
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,319
maybe on our I'll look it up
real quick, but like it's a super

444
00:31:11,359 --> 00:31:15,599
important port. Oh this shit this
country gets like a insane amount of it

445
00:31:15,599 --> 00:31:22,039
comes through Los Angeles, so they
know Hollywood. So the are you saying

446
00:31:22,079 --> 00:31:25,880
that the people that did this were
maybe justified for the greater good of the

447
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,640
country, you know, growing our
port city out. It sounds like you're

448
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,200
on the Mayor's side. Here a
broken clock murders the right people twice a

449
00:31:34,279 --> 00:31:41,319
day. Water from the Owens River
reached a reservoir in the San Fernando Valley

450
00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:45,680
on November fifth, nineteen thirteen.
I'll ever remember the fifth of November.

451
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:48,720
La is the busiest port in the
US, but there's a couple of Chinese

452
00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:56,119
ports that are pretty pretty busy.
After the aqueduct was completed in nineteen thirteen,

453
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,519
the San Fernando investors demanded so much
water from the Owens Valley that it

454
00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:07,119
started to transform from the Switzerland of
California into a desert. Uh you know

455
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:14,759
they also Switzerland of California in quotes. Yeah, the geography might have looked

456
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,480
Swiss. I don't think the people
did, not a chance. No,

457
00:32:20,119 --> 00:32:22,960
not, just like all six foot
blonde and beautiful people. Yeah, yeah,

458
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,960
I just I don't buy that anyone
there looked like Roger Federer. They

459
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:30,079
were a little more whittaker looking.
Anyone knows that reference they look like.

460
00:32:30,319 --> 00:32:34,160
I don't know that reference is.
That's the shows soft wat Underbelly and he

461
00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:38,240
interviews the inbred family of West Virginia. Oh god, yeah, I seen

462
00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:42,200
the pictures. Yeah, and there's
that one guy who can only communicate by

463
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,200
barking. He just crossed and the
guy, and the guy's kind of an

464
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,319
asshole. He's like, so tell
me about yourself. He goes at It's

465
00:32:49,359 --> 00:32:52,759
like, why are you pressing him? He can't talk bro Jesus Christ.

466
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:57,039
So now that Muholland was blocked from
the up tanning water from the Colorado River,

467
00:32:57,279 --> 00:33:00,960
he decided just take all the water
from the Ellen's Valley. Fuck it,

468
00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:07,440
fuck them, fuck them. In
nineteen twenty three, farmers and ranchers

469
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:15,880
formed in Irrigation Cooperative headed by Wilfred
and Mark Waterson, owners of the Inyo

470
00:33:15,079 --> 00:33:20,920
County Bank, by exploiting personal bitterness
of some of the farmers. Okay,

471
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,279
first off, the wait, the
Waterson's owned the bank. Yeah, they're

472
00:33:23,319 --> 00:33:29,559
probably local mob anyway. So these
people aren't heroes. This is they do

473
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,720
have a stranglehold on just that.
Yeah. Yeah, let's not gas up

474
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,160
the Waterson's too much, all right. Yeah, But at the same time,

475
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,079
it takes. It takes. Sometimes
you need bad men to beat off,

476
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:45,400
worse men beat off to fight off. Well, that too, maybe,

477
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:50,440
but that's honestly, if I if
they we're still putting porn on DVD.

478
00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:55,880
It's like the ultimate like gay porn
like tagline, you know what I

479
00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:01,599
mean. Sometimes it takes a bad
man to beat off a worse. Los

480
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:06,799
Angeles managed to acquire some of the
key water rights of the cooperative. After

481
00:34:06,799 --> 00:34:09,960
these water rights were secured, inflows
of Owen's Lake were heavily diverted, which

482
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:15,119
caused the lake to dry up by
nineteen twenty four. It's like when Lake

483
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:20,079
Travis is just a fucking puddle after
summers like this in your lakefront property is

484
00:34:20,119 --> 00:34:23,519
suddenly just like you just live in
front of like a mud pit. Yeah,

485
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:29,639
they started to threaten LA officials.
They were just going into town and

486
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:34,280
just start causing mayhem. Just started
sucking shit up. That's dope, that's

487
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,960
sick. They should have done that
more, that would have. You gotta

488
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:42,199
just wake the people up because these
the fucking the mayor and Mulhallam they don't

489
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,960
even give his shit. You gotta
get the people angry at them. So

490
00:34:45,079 --> 00:34:49,280
you go in there. Yeah,
you tommy guns some random shit, you

491
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,280
know, break up some shops.
I'd be like, tell them the Waterson

492
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:59,800
boys, we're here. In one
incident, a local resident named LC Hall

493
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:06,960
perceived by his neighbors as a sympathetic
city advocate, was literally run out of

494
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,880
town on a rail No. He
was kidnapped one night by a group of

495
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:15,880
vigilantes and nearly lynched on a cottonwood
tree before being told to leave the valley

496
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,199
and ever come back. He was
saved from hanging, according to one account,

497
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,760
when he flashed a secret Masonic distress
signal, which convinced some Masons in

498
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:29,480
the mob to reconsider their plans.
So as he had the rope around his

499
00:35:29,559 --> 00:35:31,800
neck, he just kind of flashed
his gang signs, his frat symbol.

500
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,559
Yeah, I got them all frat
handshake, and they're like, oh,

501
00:35:36,559 --> 00:35:38,639
we can't, we can't kill him. He's in, He's in the crew.

502
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,079
There was. There are a lot
of stories of that happening in the

503
00:35:43,079 --> 00:35:50,320
Civil War of like someone on the
other side being like, root, whatever

504
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,239
the fuck that symbol is. I
think it. Lewis Armistead, who died

505
00:35:53,280 --> 00:36:00,159
at Gettysbury's a general, flashed a
Masonic distress symbol and two Union soldiers like

506
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,480
dropped their guns and came over to
how he still died, but they came

507
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:07,320
over to help him, like medically
or whatever. So that happens a lot.

508
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:13,000
Wow. I wonder if that still
happens. Well, you'll be like,

509
00:36:13,199 --> 00:36:19,360
wow, heartwarming moment that George Bush
did a sign language for all the

510
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,519
deaf people. Well, it's like
no, he was giving a Masonic sign

511
00:36:22,519 --> 00:36:25,199
of the Bush. It is not
secure the plan of killing all the poor

512
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:29,519
people. It is not the plea
deals you make, it's the hands you

513
00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:36,159
shake Masonically. Yeah. So,
finally threats and intimidation turned into action on

514
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:37,840
May twenty first, nineteen twenty four, Like I said before, when the

515
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:44,159
group of arm Branchers sees the Alabama
Gate and dynamited part of the system,

516
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:51,199
letting water return to the Owens River. The bomban had earned the city's undivided

517
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:57,519
attention, and the Watersons and other
valleyites did some hard bargaining. But so

518
00:36:58,599 --> 00:37:00,280
to me, that would just turn
lost angels even further. Get like everyone

519
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:06,440
LA would be like, fuck those
rednecks, there's no water in my toilet.

520
00:37:06,519 --> 00:37:09,119
Fuck their crops. We can get
fucking corn somewhere else. Suck my

521
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:14,280
dick. Waterson's fucking whatever river.
I don't even know the name of it.

522
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,760
Just give me my fucking water.
Whereas like they're not gonna think like

523
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,679
if if just some shit gets fucked
up in town and they're like who did

524
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,599
that? Why? Oh you know
they might reconsider, but now like taking

525
00:37:24,639 --> 00:37:30,599
someone's water, I don't. I
was so fucking angry during that Texas freeze

526
00:37:30,599 --> 00:37:34,199
when my water went out that I
was like, everyone in office, I'm

527
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,239
not voting for again, Like,
I was fucking furious. I didn't.

528
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,119
I didn't vote for a single person
that done. You're dead to me.

529
00:37:39,199 --> 00:37:44,119
Yeah, all you're dead because it
was so preventable and shit, Like I

530
00:37:44,159 --> 00:37:49,000
was just like, yeah, that
would It doesn't matter why my water is

531
00:37:49,039 --> 00:37:52,760
out, whoever's responsible for it.
It's just dead to me. If I

532
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:57,000
was in LA resident time, I'd
be like, uh, all right,

533
00:37:57,079 --> 00:38:00,000
let's fire bound that fire bound the
little redneck town take their water. This

534
00:38:00,039 --> 00:38:07,960
explosion brings the farmers in the city
to the negotiating table. In a proposal

535
00:38:07,039 --> 00:38:12,320
presented to the LA Chamber of Commerce
and entity perceived as more sympathetic to their

536
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,320
situation than Mahaland and his water department, the Valley Interest gave the City of

537
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:22,679
Los Angeles a choice either restore the
valley's agricultural potential to what it was before

538
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:28,519
Mahaland started pumping groundwater and secretly buying
water rights in its upper reaches, or

539
00:38:28,559 --> 00:38:30,679
else buy out the entire valley,
not at your price, not at our

540
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:36,159
price, but at a reasonable price
fixed by a competent board of appraisers.

541
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:44,159
M wow. So all these people
are just gonna have to move incredibly reasonable

542
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,559
negotiations with terrorists. I'll be honest, dude, Violence is the answer sometimes.

543
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,239
But check it out. Guess who's
on the fucking board of appraisers.

544
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:57,360
Everyone in the pocket of La.
Everyone on Maholland's pocket. Yeah, yeah,

545
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,800
yeah, I'm sure man. He
deserved that drive named after him.

546
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,400
He deserved that road. Nobody and
no one lives in La without Mahaland.

547
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,239
He got it. He went out
and got it. Yeah. I gotta

548
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,400
see where that is again. I
think it's in the Hollywood Hills Wick.

549
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:15,159
I know there's a David Lynch movie
called Mulholland because it's a famous street and

550
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:19,719
lay. This idea seemed reasonable to
the Chamber, which wrote a report suggested

551
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,639
in the creation of the Independent Board
of Arbitration to set bid in prices for

552
00:39:22,679 --> 00:39:28,000
property in the Owens Valley. But
of course Mahaland and the Water Board ignored

553
00:39:28,039 --> 00:39:31,239
the report claiming that the Watersons and
their contingent did not represent the majority of

554
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:37,519
the valley of people. The Chamber
chose not to argue with this logic and

555
00:39:37,639 --> 00:39:40,519
left the matter there. The President
of the Chambers of Commerce is an old

556
00:39:40,559 --> 00:39:47,239
friend and a former business associated mind, an increasingly rigid and impervious Mahaland explained,

557
00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:52,800
the Chamber will never do anything to
hurt me. Sick, Yeah,

558
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:58,039
Maholand drive goes through like the Hollywood
Hills and shit. Frustrated by their failure

559
00:39:58,039 --> 00:40:02,679
of this proposal, and after rejecting
to a subsequential counter proposal by the Public

560
00:40:02,679 --> 00:40:07,880
Service Commissioners as the same old bunk, the Owens Valley activists decided to take

561
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:15,400
more dramatic action again. Shortly before
dawn on Sunday, November sixteenth, a

562
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:21,239
contingent of between seventy and one hundred
men set out from Bishop in a caravan

563
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,840
of Ford model ts and drove south
to the Alabama Gatehouse on a stretch of

564
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:31,519
the aqueduct about six miles north of
Lone Pine. Led by banker Mark Waterson,

565
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:37,440
the vigilantes forcefully removed two watchmen on
duty and proceeded to occupy this rounding

566
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:44,440
waterworks. Once you control of the
gatehouse, they turned the great wheels inside

567
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:50,519
that opened the metal floodgates, releasing
the aqueducts flow of water down a concrete

568
00:40:50,519 --> 00:40:55,519
spillway, where it streamed out onto
the valley floor. Then, in a

569
00:40:55,599 --> 00:41:00,400
show of defiance, perhaps more symbolic
than practical, laid barbed wire at the

570
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:06,760
foot of the hill on which the
gatehouse stood, preparing for a lengthy siege.

571
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,000
Wed, I bet you some of
these dudes, this is not gonna

572
00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:14,960
end. Well, what year is
this? Nineteen twenty four. So we're

573
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:21,119
looking at almost certainly a number of
recent World War One veterans who are used

574
00:41:21,159 --> 00:41:23,840
to Yeah, they're used to sitting
in one place where we can stay here

575
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:28,639
a while. I ate rats,
bro, they're ready to go. Dude,

576
00:41:28,679 --> 00:41:34,519
I ain't a doughboy anymore. Indio
County Sheriff Charles Collins arrived on the

577
00:41:34,519 --> 00:41:40,159
scene sometime after daybreak, but as
a fellow valley resident, he his sympathies

578
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:45,440
laid with the people that took aqueduct. Get on the payroll, bro,

579
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:51,599
this is for the We're in this
for the species boys and girls, to

580
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,239
quote Starship Troopers. All right,
this is fucking ge get over your little

581
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,880
farm. All right. This is
NIMBYism, is what it is. No

582
00:41:59,039 --> 00:42:01,039
in my backyard, all you need
to be a yimbi, Yes, in

583
00:42:01,079 --> 00:42:05,920
my back He didn't want to be
a scab though. Fuck him. Fuck

584
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,719
him because he lives with these people, so he's not gonna do anything.

585
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:15,800
Move, get bribed and moved.
Yeah, Oh my god, big house

586
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,480
on Muholland Drive. It's in like
one of the nicest parts of the city.

587
00:42:19,639 --> 00:42:22,960
Jack Nicholson lived on Mahaland Drive for
most of his life. In fact,

588
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:27,119
I think that's where Roman Polanski did
his stuff, was on Moholland Drive.

589
00:42:27,559 --> 00:42:34,039
A lot of bad things associated with
Maholland Yeah, yeah, but probably

590
00:42:34,039 --> 00:42:37,719
some good stuff too, probably great
cocaine and more meaningful. Opposition came a

591
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:43,039
few hours later when Edward Layhy,
the local representative of Los Angeles in the

592
00:42:43,119 --> 00:42:45,320
valley, drove up to the Gatehouse
and parked his car at the foot of

593
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:50,119
the hill. As he climbed the
slope beside the roar and spillway, a

594
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,519
noose allegedly dropped from one of the
windows of the Gatehouse and dangled in front

595
00:42:53,559 --> 00:42:58,880
of him. Like he wasn't intimidated, he was angry. He was met

596
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:05,119
at the Gatehouse war by Mark Waterson
and several others. After satisfying themselves that

597
00:43:05,199 --> 00:43:10,480
Lay he wasn't armed, they offered
him coffee ah, and then delivered their

598
00:43:10,559 --> 00:43:16,320
ultimatum, you can tell Matthews and
the Holland that we're going to stay here

599
00:43:16,599 --> 00:43:22,519
till they settle with us. And
when Lay expressed his determination to stop the

600
00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:27,159
waste of city water that they were
perpetrating, Waterson warned him, if you

601
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,039
try to close these gates, we'll
make our own gates and not so subtle

602
00:43:31,039 --> 00:43:39,079
threat to dynamite another hole into the
aqueduct. M h okay, fuck them,

603
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:44,760
Just kill him, Just kill him. We're trying to build shit here.

604
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:50,639
God. The diversion would cost the
city upwards of fifteen thousand dollars a

605
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,039
day until it was stopped. So
every day they were there and just like

606
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,320
taking the place hostage, it was
fifteen grand I can't imagine what that is

607
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,239
in today's money. I'm sure it's
just fucking seen. Yeah. Yeah.

608
00:44:01,639 --> 00:44:08,199
For example, actually, I think
in the mid twenties, around the same

609
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:17,840
time or maybe early thirties, Uh
Babe Ruth signed a contract for like thirties

610
00:44:19,079 --> 00:44:22,599
either thirty or sixty grand a year, and that was just unheard of.

611
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,480
People were like, no, I
think one headline said, no ballplayer will

612
00:44:24,519 --> 00:44:30,840
ever make more ever, ever,
ever. Like the people were like jaw

613
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,280
on the floor, like what the
fuck again? He was hitting bombs off

614
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:40,159
milk Man. Yeah back then,
like most didn't most people in the MLB

615
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:44,360
or whatever they had back then.
It's like, yeah, they were not

616
00:44:44,559 --> 00:44:49,599
factory, no not, but not
by the twenties, the twenties. They

617
00:44:49,599 --> 00:44:52,920
were full time by then. Yeah, okay, now Cy Young was cutting

618
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,199
sheet that all right, So Young
is like not, he overlaps with Ruth

619
00:44:55,239 --> 00:45:00,639
a little bit, but he's earlier
than Ruth. I'm saying, Babe,

620
00:45:00,679 --> 00:45:02,199
Ruth is a fraud. Okay,
I know you are, but you still

621
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,920
think Luke Eric's thought though, Right, he's hot. Yeah. Dan was

622
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,000
marveling at Luke Eric's body and our
I couldn't believe it. He was a

623
00:45:09,079 --> 00:45:13,039
unit. Yeah, he was massive, you know the only reason. And

624
00:45:13,079 --> 00:45:16,280
then he of course got Luke Eric's
dribbled and died up. You know why

625
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:21,440
he got als? Was it from? It was from they didn't have batting

626
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:25,039
helmets, and he took like fucking
balls to the Dome all the time.

627
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,800
Oh my god, it was the
same reason. I mean, it was

628
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,320
what it So, it's like Muhammad
Ali at the end of his life had

629
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,639
Parkinson's because he just got hit in
the head so many times. Yes,

630
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,679
Luke Errick had als from taking fucking
heaters to the dome regularly. Dan,

631
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,519
I didn't realize that caused als.
Yeah, I thought it was just like

632
00:45:43,559 --> 00:45:46,679
a random like bad lottery can be
on set. I think you can get

633
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:52,000
on. I think check. It's
a neurological thing. So an he make

634
00:45:52,159 --> 00:45:53,760
any head trauma could lead to that, Yeah, I did. Yeah,

635
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,199
but I did think it was a
roll of the dice. I didn't know,

636
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,239
you know. So determined to end
the siege immediately, as it was

637
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:05,280
costing them fifteen thousand dollars a day, Mahaland and Matthews dispatched two carloads of

638
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,440
detectives and investigators from the city.
When news of the approaching posse reached the

639
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:14,159
Owens Valley, a crowd of local
men gathered outside the Waterson's hardware store in

640
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:19,119
Bishop demanding weapons to hold off the
intruders. Sheriff Collins, fear and bloodshed,

641
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:23,840
jumped into his car and sped south
to intercept the oncoming detectives. He

642
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:30,440
met them somewhere south of Lone Pine
and warned of the bruined resistance. If

643
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,119
you go up there and start any
trouble, he allegedly told them, not

644
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,679
one of you will get back to
tell the tale. The detectives perhaps wisely

645
00:46:38,039 --> 00:46:43,599
decided to postpone the confrontation until tempers
cooled off. Should just kill him.

646
00:46:43,599 --> 00:46:47,719
I don't know why they're not doing
that all. Were you aligned with the

647
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:54,280
at F at Waco? Uh?
Yeah, well no, actually no until

648
00:46:54,639 --> 00:46:58,519
until the how way they handled it. They didn't. Well, you'd find

649
00:46:58,519 --> 00:47:01,039
a light people on fire if you're
gonna use that land for something. But

650
00:47:01,079 --> 00:47:06,039
they just lit them on fire and
left. You know, they're gonna drill

651
00:47:06,079 --> 00:47:09,320
for oil or something, sure,
but you're just gonna do it. And

652
00:47:09,519 --> 00:47:14,199
that's egregious. That's like it's like
killing a buffalo and not you, you

653
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:15,960
know what I mean, Like killing
a deer and just leaving it in the

654
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:20,440
field and bean like, yeah,
I shot that bitch, use every part

655
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:27,719
of the body. So no,
I'm the FBI was very wasteful. Meanwhile,

656
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,880
the scene at the Alabama Gates had
taken on a festive aura as more

657
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:37,159
and more people gathered to show solidarity
or merely to see what was going on.

658
00:47:37,519 --> 00:47:40,440
Feels like more b than a first
came. I mean, TV's not

659
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,920
even a minute yet. You really
want to listen to the radio. Yeah,

660
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:45,599
but there's a bunch of news reporters
and photographers from the city that come,

661
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:50,239
welcome with open arms by the protesters. Since one of the principal goals

662
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,840
of the takeover was publicity, the
press was followed by family members and sympathetic

663
00:47:54,840 --> 00:48:00,639
neighbors of the men holding the gatehouse. At noon on November seventeenth, twenty

664
00:48:00,679 --> 00:48:04,239
four, the day after the incident
began, a group of some twenty women

665
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,320
arrived from Bishop with hot dogs,
potato salad, and other picnic supplies,

666
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:12,960
and soon the siege resembled nothing so
much as an outdoor community supper. It

667
00:48:13,079 --> 00:48:15,400
sounds like a fucking picnic. It
sounds like a family reunion. It's potato

668
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:21,000
salad and hot dogs. By the
way, it's so funny that it's just

669
00:48:21,119 --> 00:48:28,199
like fucking terrorist organizations taken over.
Prot We welcome the reporters because like we

670
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,480
need, we want to let everyone
know what's happening, and like our cause

671
00:48:31,599 --> 00:48:36,719
is noble it kind of is for
sure actually, like in a def moral

672
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,960
ethical standpoint, and like we want
to let everyone know and this is all

673
00:48:42,079 --> 00:48:45,920
good and once people, once the
people know, they'll care and things will

674
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:52,559
get better. Now, remind me, does Los Angeles exist? Yeah?

675
00:48:52,599 --> 00:48:55,079
Spoiler alert, they don't win.
That, they don't win. Everyone probably

676
00:48:55,079 --> 00:48:58,079
saw that and was like, yeah, that is shitty. But then they

677
00:48:58,079 --> 00:49:04,079
were like, but that's a pretty
big port. And I do like movies,

678
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,800
Yeah, that don't quite exist yet. Twenty four. Yeah, we're

679
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:13,159
three years before the first Academy Awards, I think. Okay, yeah,

680
00:49:13,199 --> 00:49:15,760
so they're making movies have been around
for over a decade at this point.

681
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:20,760
Yeah, they don't have talking yet. I think the Jazzinger was twenty seven.

682
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,920
My great grandma, my great grandma
played piano in a movie theater because

683
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:30,559
like they didn't have they didn't have
sound, so like the she was just

684
00:49:30,559 --> 00:49:31,760
scoring the movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah she was. She was playing

685
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,679
the piano while this same they would
send out sheet music. Yes, that

686
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,480
went along with the with the movies. You know, like when the guy

687
00:49:37,519 --> 00:49:42,320
falls down the stairs, she go
right right right. Yeah, it wasn't

688
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,599
just like what Yeah, she wasn't
improvising she yeah, she had a script.

689
00:49:46,639 --> 00:49:50,800
She followed, Yeah, that's dope
that that was her job though.

690
00:49:51,039 --> 00:49:53,559
Yeah, that's sick. Yeah.
By Tuesday the eighteenth, the crowd at

691
00:49:53,559 --> 00:49:58,440
the remote spot had grown to more
than seven hundred people, most of them

692
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:02,880
from it and around Bishop were hastily
painted billboard at the town's main intersection now

693
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:07,480
read if I am not on the
job, you can find me at the

694
00:50:07,519 --> 00:50:15,800
aqueduct Sheriff Collins appealed to California Governor
Friend Richardson to send in the state militia.

695
00:50:16,039 --> 00:50:20,800
This was exactly what the insurgents wanted, since the result in news stories

696
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:25,559
would give their cause worldwide visibility.
Governor Richardson ultimately refused the sending in the

697
00:50:25,599 --> 00:50:30,360
militia to Lone Pine, as he
figured, this is what they want.

698
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:35,079
They want the publicity of us,
like kind of mowing them down. Yeah.

699
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,480
Yeah, So we didn't do it, And that because it's smart because

700
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:45,639
if they had been caught on film
gunning all these men down and just watching

701
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:51,519
rivers of blood flow alongside the river
they were trying to steal, God,

702
00:50:51,679 --> 00:50:54,920
dude, Like, can you imagine
how many extra days it would have taken

703
00:50:54,960 --> 00:51:00,519
them to accomplish their goal? We're
gonna have to wait for us to die

704
00:51:00,559 --> 00:51:04,320
down at least a week. Yeah, they were getting it no matter what.

705
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,480
They could have literally just like reservoir
dog, every single one of those

706
00:51:07,559 --> 00:51:13,519
dudes dancing around and whatever. Fucking
reservoir. That's some more wordplay right there,

707
00:51:13,559 --> 00:51:16,960
because it's like a reservoir. But
I mean really like they could have

708
00:51:17,039 --> 00:51:22,000
just been like, you know,
stuck in the middle dude just cutting ears

709
00:51:22,039 --> 00:51:24,519
off and shit, and people would
have been like, Hey, well I

710
00:51:24,559 --> 00:51:29,559
want my water, but I'm not
happy about this. I brought them hot

711
00:51:29,559 --> 00:51:32,239
dogs. They did all I can
do, right real quick. Before we

712
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:36,559
get back to the water Wars,
we have to talk about the water that

713
00:51:36,639 --> 00:51:42,800
Owen's Valley wishes they had liquid liquid
death. Why didn't you just go here's

714
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,840
what Owen's Valley your bitches, and
I'll tell you why. Build a time

715
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,880
machine, go to the future,
buy a fucking like million pallets of liquid

716
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:52,320
death, go back in time.
Then let the Los Angeles take whatever they

717
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,880
want. You can then water your
plants with liquid death. They'll be way

718
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:00,440
cooler. You'd have flavored water.
Yeah, you'll have delicious flavored water to

719
00:52:00,519 --> 00:52:07,039
drink yourself. If you like tea, uh like Arnold Palmers, which Liquid

720
00:52:07,039 --> 00:52:10,280
Death because they're hilarious calls armless Palmer's. Uh you know you could do that

721
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,280
too, and you get a little
caffeine kick. Yeah, I'm just saying

722
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:15,239
it's just get a little bit of
caffeine. It's not like a full caffeine,

723
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:19,800
but get a little fun little uh
dripp in there. But I'm just

724
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,000
saying, Liquid Death would have saved
Owen's Valley. And they're stupid for not

725
00:52:23,039 --> 00:52:27,719
making a time machine. I'm just
gonna say, yeah, it's on them.

726
00:52:28,079 --> 00:52:30,719
Uh boost. Did you know that
Liquid deaths saved my child's life?

727
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:36,400
Really? How Thirst was coming to
murder my child and Liquid Death stepped in

728
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:42,280
and they murdered his thirst Because remember
that water boil we had? Oh yeah,

729
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,840
well I was I had to make
a bottle for him, and I

730
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:46,639
was like, god, damn it. I walked downstairs. I realized I

731
00:52:46,639 --> 00:52:51,639
don't have any water that is not
that is boiled. And then then I

732
00:52:51,679 --> 00:52:54,519
remember Liquid Death had sent me a
bunch of of their flat water along with

733
00:52:54,559 --> 00:52:58,440
their sparkling water. But they sent
me the flat which were supposed to go

734
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,400
to me and Jake, I mean, it's in my tru you can go

735
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:04,000
get it right now, you're lazy
bastard. Yeah, I'll break into your

736
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,880
car. I mean, yeah,
if you want to. I know,

737
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,280
I know that's how you're used to
people going into your car. It's a

738
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:14,760
wrench to the window. But yeah, So I poured my baby a bottle

739
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:20,559
of liquid death and formula, and
he lived. And he gained twenty pounds

740
00:53:20,599 --> 00:53:23,559
of muscle immediately. Yeah, thirst, his thirst was murdered and honestly,

741
00:53:23,639 --> 00:53:28,599
like liquid death, Uh, it
was a brutal murder. And now he's

742
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,400
rocking some dope ass merch. He
he is rocking some dope ass merch.

743
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:36,199
They don't have baby merch. I'm
just dressing him in adult clothes. But

744
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,719
he gained twenty pounds of muscles,
right exactly, And but he looks cool.

745
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:44,360
I am actually also rocking liquid death
merch, which you can go to

746
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:49,920
Liquid death dot com slash softcore and
get twenty percent off your first Liquid death

747
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,519
apparel order. But if you're wondering
about now, we're here to advertise liquid

748
00:53:52,519 --> 00:53:55,280
death apparel. No, we're here
to have advertise liquid depth. All they

749
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,239
want us to tell you and this
is like my favorite death. This is

750
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,119
the reason they're my favorite advertiser.
They were just like, yeah, we

751
00:54:00,119 --> 00:54:02,079
don't really have a promo code or
anything. Just tell them to go buy

752
00:54:02,119 --> 00:54:07,760
it. So sweet, go out, go out, grab your gas station.

753
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,840
You can order on Amazon, basically
any grocery store in the country.

754
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,400
At this point, Liquid Death is
everywhere. It's at Hub if you're in

755
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:20,119
Texas, I assume it's whatever you
know, Schnook's and Saint Louis. Nobody

756
00:54:20,159 --> 00:54:24,400
knows what Schnooks Deerberg's and Saint Louisa. It's actually at Whole Foods too.

757
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:28,679
I drank when the other day I
had eight dinner at Whole Foods and drink

758
00:54:28,679 --> 00:54:31,000
a liquid. It's everywhere, man, Just go buy a Liquid Death.

759
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:36,599
Okay, don't be stupid like Owen's
Valley. Go buy Liquid Death. Next

760
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,760
up, we've got simply Safe simply
safe dot com slash softcore. Right now,

761
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:45,360
Softcore history listeners can get twenty percent
off any simply Safe system when they

762
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:49,159
sign up for fast Protect monitoring.
This is a huge offer and it is

763
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:53,159
only for a limited time at simply
safe dot com slash Softcore. I have

764
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:57,239
a simply Safe home security system,
and like I've said many times, I

765
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,719
walk around my neighborhood, walking the
dogs, stuff like that. I see

766
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:04,679
simple safe yard signs freaking everywhere.
This is the best home scurity system you

767
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,800
can buy for two reasons. One
the installation is super easy, and it's

768
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:13,119
it's uh will three reasons. So
Intellection is super easy too, it's like

769
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,719
great price compared to the competitors.
And three the UX on the app is

770
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:21,840
incredible. Yeah, you get all
the updates, the monitoring stuff like that.

771
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:25,000
I bet the Aqua Duck wish they'd
simply say they sure they could stop

772
00:55:25,079 --> 00:55:29,440
these domestic terrors. They do,
They absolutely do that things would have.

773
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,360
Los Angeles was dumb for not building
a time machine and getting simply safe,

774
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,280
the same way that Owens people were
dumb for not building a time machine and

775
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,639
getting liquid death. Yes, morons, morons all around, simply safe.

776
00:55:38,679 --> 00:55:42,079
I use it like I have it
at my house. It's it's awesome,

777
00:55:42,119 --> 00:55:44,440
dude. I have the doorbell cam, I have an indoor cam. I

778
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:49,440
have a backyard cam to watch for
coyotes, mostly because I don't think anyone's

779
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,079
breaking into my neighborhood, but I
do think something in my You're gonna watch

780
00:55:52,079 --> 00:55:54,320
out for your small dolls. Dude, there because someone's gonna eat my dogs,

781
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:59,079
like one hundred percent, probably like
a giant hawk, a giant hawk

782
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,760
or maybe some mid sized piste off
raccoon. Like it's they're not tough.

783
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:07,440
I saw a porcupine the other day
in the wild. What yeah, here

784
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,760
here at my apartment complex. That's
I don't think they're native they are?

785
00:56:12,039 --> 00:56:14,960
Are they? Yeah? I see
armadillos all the time. I thought it

786
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:16,480
was an armadilla. But it started
it put its spikes up. Will you

787
00:56:16,559 --> 00:56:21,119
were you chasing it? It was
coming at us, me and my dogs

788
00:56:22,559 --> 00:56:25,840
feet. It was a rapid porcupine
apparently, God damn. With twenty four

789
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:30,679
seven live guard protection and the new
smartel alarm indoor camera, they work seamlessly

790
00:56:31,079 --> 00:56:34,679
at a part of the entire Simply
Safe security system. Again, they have

791
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,239
agents that monitor stuff. I mean, like it is so good, so

792
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:42,119
comprehensive, and the UX on the
app was incredible. I highly recommend if

793
00:56:42,119 --> 00:56:46,400
you want a home security system and
and and want like high price, quality

794
00:56:46,519 --> 00:56:51,239
and not break the bank, Simply

795
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,559

percent off any simple sy system when you

799
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:12,639
meals are the best thing, the
best like ready to eat meal kit,

800
00:57:12,679 --> 00:57:15,119
the best meal kit that's ever been
mailed to my house. You get in

801
00:57:15,159 --> 00:57:17,480
a box all your meals for the
week. They'll do breakfast, to do

802
00:57:17,559 --> 00:57:21,480
lunch, they'll do dinner, they'll
send you appetizers, they'll send you whatever

803
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,840
is so good. It takes two
minutes to heat up. And the quality

804
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:29,079
this sounds like, oh you heat
it up two minutes? Whatever the quality,

805
00:57:29,119 --> 00:57:30,559
it is no business being as good
as it is. It is never

806
00:57:30,599 --> 00:57:34,800
frozen. It is only refrigerated,
first off, so you're not dealing with

807
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,400
frozen crap. Secondly, just I
don't know what to say other than I

808
00:57:37,599 --> 00:57:42,079
ate it and I loved it.
My wife eats it now for lunch every

809
00:57:42,159 --> 00:57:45,159
like she is on a Factor meal
plan. We order Factor meals for dinner

810
00:57:45,519 --> 00:57:49,800
because we have two kids under two, and it's a freaking nightmare trying to

811
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,599
just cook food for ourselves. Factor
is so good. I cannot believe how

812
00:57:52,719 --> 00:57:55,280
like I could couldn't believe how good
it was. And what's awesome too,

813
00:57:55,320 --> 00:58:00,360
is you can tailor your plan.
They got Keto, they got Calorie Smart,

814
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:05,079
they got vegan, they got vegetarian. They've got thirty four different thirty

815

quality options like Burschettis, shrimp Erzotto,

816
00:58:09,239 --> 00:58:14,760
Green Gottis Chicken, their filet mignon, which was like, again no business

817
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:15,800
being as good as it was.
Like I said, they have lunch,

818
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:20,199
they got breakfast, two egg bites, pancakes, all kinds of stuff,

819
00:58:21,519 --> 00:58:23,360
bacon and egg, breakfast skillet,
like they have you totally covered, and

820
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:28,719
it is like it's crazy easy.
This is this is like the ultimate meal.

821
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:30,280
Heck, I if you if you
do not have time in your day

day because you don't have time to

838
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:36,599
flavor, so it's not you know, grainy and grimy and stuff like that.

872
01:01:39,039 --> 01:01:45,639
standoff will go indefinitely unless the city
made some goodwill gesture. The Bankers Association

873
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:51,199
offered to mediate the dispute between valley
residents and the city water department. Sounds

874
01:01:51,239 --> 01:01:55,119
like a Star Wars movie now,
but only a trade federation. Unlawful occupation

875
01:01:55,159 --> 01:02:00,559
of the Alabama Gates ended immediately.
It was a well time armed dolfer.

876
01:02:00,079 --> 01:02:06,079
It was now the fourth day,
and the Valley's act of civil disobedience was

877
01:02:06,159 --> 01:02:09,599
losing momentum. So just like everything
in four days, after four days,

878
01:02:10,519 --> 01:02:14,840
shit don't change. People lose interest. Do you remember how high twe I

879
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:16,000
mean, look, it's still going
on, and I still follow the news

880
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:22,719
pretty closely because I find it incredibly
interesting. But I honestly I remember in

881
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:30,400
like March, uh twenty twenty one, maybe maybe April twenty twenty one,

882
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:35,719
I'm sorry not yeah, yeah,
March April twenty twenty one, people being

883
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:42,920
like Russia's still invade in Ukraine.
Really I still going on. I didn't

884
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:47,559
have that not done yet. We're
not over twenty billion more, twenty billion

885
01:02:47,599 --> 01:02:50,679
more, but they're just like,
what is that's still going on? But

886
01:02:50,719 --> 01:02:53,480
I think that's also because we feel
broken brained because of America for the last

887
01:02:53,519 --> 01:02:58,360
like every time I'm like we we
don't. All of our wars are like

888
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,199
we occ we like conquer the tree
and then like it's like refuge that refugees,

889
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:06,760
Uh, gorillas popop and we have
them. But we but we conquer

890
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:09,239
the country in like a week every
time, and so we like look at

891
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,840
that and we're like, what the
hill? What the fuck? Man?

892
01:03:13,079 --> 01:03:16,159
How the war still going on?
Yeah? I mean what was it?

893
01:03:16,199 --> 01:03:21,880
But these people the invasion Iraq was
one month, one week in four days.

894
01:03:22,679 --> 01:03:24,960
Yeah, it was really fast,
and honestly like it was. They

895
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:28,679
were cooked within like two weeks.
It was. It was a mop up

896
01:03:28,679 --> 01:03:32,360
operation. Two weeks in God,
there was so much money in his fucking

897
01:03:32,599 --> 01:03:36,679
mansion, I know, in his
palace. I hope, I hope the

898
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:38,480
soldiers still every ounce it. No, we actually gave it back to the

899
01:03:38,519 --> 01:03:43,559
people. That's fine too, Is
that real? That's that's a that's a

900
01:03:43,559 --> 01:03:45,840
true, a wholesome fact about our
military. That's one one of those two

901
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:51,320
options is what I wanted. So, after a final barbecue, to which

902
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:55,480
all residents of the Owens Valley were
invited, the insurgents set up the machinery

903
01:03:55,519 --> 01:04:00,480
in motion to close the gates once
again, stopping the ascade down the spillway

904
01:04:00,719 --> 01:04:06,360
and restoring the full flow of water
to the aqueduct. Then they peacefully dispersed

905
01:04:06,719 --> 01:04:11,679
and in the four day crisis.
But they left with a caveat. If

906
01:04:11,719 --> 01:04:15,960
the clearing House Association fails to keep
faith, I look for a hell of

907
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,079
a pop in the future, so
more than anamite. So they could just

908
01:04:19,199 --> 01:04:24,760
keep threatening to blow the ship up. Fair enough, matters in the valley

909
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:30,320
did not improve. The LA's Bankers
Association, after some half hearted attempts to

910
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:34,320
negotiate a solution, just abandoned their
efforts because they already left. Yeah,

911
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:40,519
fuck it, they took. They
left the only leverage they had. Yeah,

912
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,360
they're like, oh no, no, just come on. If they

913
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:48,360
left after four days, they didn't
mean it back then, especially attention spans

914
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:54,840
were longer, I know, so
this is and people bringing them hot dogs

915
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:58,400
and shit like. In the spring
of nineteen twenty five, the valley got

916
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:02,760
at least some good news when the
Affording in legislation after an intense lobby and

917
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:08,920
effort by valley interests, past a
bill making cities legally responsible for damages to

918
01:05:09,039 --> 01:05:15,000
business or property values caused by water
diversions. Valley landowners quickly put together claims

919
01:05:15,039 --> 01:05:19,880
for several millions of dollars in damages, but the water Board would not budge.

920
01:05:20,559 --> 01:05:24,039
They're like, nah, fuck them, fuck them, We're not fuck

921
01:05:24,079 --> 01:05:30,039
them as more, even though it
was law now yeah, because they could

922
01:05:30,079 --> 01:05:32,159
just fight it. Yeah, They're
like, we control the water, what

923
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,960
are you gonna do? And we
have way more money, so yeah,

924
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,920
bitch, let's go to court.
They control the bankers, they control the

925
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,840
city council, they control I mean
pretty much to god, do the do

926
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:46,519
people that control the water like actually
control all of society to this day?

927
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:51,360
Probably? Yeah, That's why they
put all that uh that stuff in the

928
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:57,280
water to control you. There is
that like sus fucking what do you call

929
01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:00,760
it? Not credits, but when
there's like an epilog in a movie,

930
01:06:00,599 --> 01:06:04,639
what it's text? Is it just
an epilogue? Basically at the end of

931
01:06:04,639 --> 01:06:09,599
Big Short, they talk about how
Michael Burr's now just like buying up land

932
01:06:09,639 --> 01:06:12,960
with like aquifers and water, fresh
water and shit on it. Yeah,

933
01:06:13,119 --> 01:06:16,800
and that he's been doing that for
a decade now. I think I think

934
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:21,000
maybe Bill Gates is doing that too
well. They think water tables are going

935
01:06:21,039 --> 01:06:24,280
to start to get water wars are
going to be a thing in the future.

936
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,960
Certainly, there's already stuff popping off
in South America right now. I

937
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,880
think Urga Way is going through some
water situations. I know we're having trouble

938
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:36,519
with it because we have so much
of our water has been corrupted by cowshit

939
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:40,920
because we have you know, if
you want dollar burgers, then you need

940
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:44,800
to have a ton of cows.
And what did cows do? They poop

941
01:06:45,119 --> 01:06:50,119
and they we just have these liquefied
Olympic sized pools and then the factory,

942
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:55,000
right, you have that like run
off that's like dark red from the pigs

943
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,559
and the cows. Yeah, it's
their poop specific it's just straight up toxic

944
01:06:58,719 --> 01:07:00,320
and it steeps into the water.
And yeah, where we have less water

945
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,320
available than we did before, all
that even to the water is getting to

946
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:08,639
the water table like groundwater. Yeah, I think we got to buy some

947
01:07:08,679 --> 01:07:13,440
property up in Minnesota up at the
mouth of the Mississippi, like Duluth or

948
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:17,079
something. Where's I think somewhere on
the Great Lakes. I'm saying Minnesota.

949
01:07:17,199 --> 01:07:20,599
Oh, Great Lakes. Okay,
right, Great Lakes works too, but

950
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:28,519
the rivers there also mississip So we
can we can do whatever landowners succumbed to

951
01:07:28,599 --> 01:07:32,400
financial pressures and sold their property to
the city for much lower rates than they

952
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:38,760
desired. Their diehard neighbors felt only
more bitter and betrayed. Some resorted again

953
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:44,760
to dynamite. In April nineteen twenty
six, a city well near Bishop was

954
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:48,000
blown up been done. In May, a ten foot hole was blasted into

955
01:07:48,039 --> 01:07:54,199
the aqueduct wall near the Alabama Gates. Again, the city hired a corpse

956
01:07:54,239 --> 01:07:59,079
of Pinkerton private detectives to move into
the valley to spy on the possible conspirators

957
01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:04,119
like the red dead Pinkerton's. Pinkerton's
are a thing. Yeah, Pinkertons are

958
01:08:04,159 --> 01:08:12,039
still around. What do they do
today? Not good stuff? Still shady

959
01:08:12,079 --> 01:08:15,159
ship be better? But who knows? Nah? I think I can't call

960
01:08:15,199 --> 01:08:17,920
like an assassination any bush with the
Pinkerton's. I love, gonna make one

961
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:23,079
phone call. I love the Pinkertons. Would I would never, I would

962
01:08:23,119 --> 01:08:29,079
never wish ill upon them. Please
don't hurt me. In a March advertisement

963
01:08:29,079 --> 01:08:31,800
place in the Bishop newspaper, the
water board set a May first deadline for

964
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:36,359
purchases of valley properties. Till that
day, the city would buy any land

965
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:42,479
offered at a praise prices considered far
too low by the landowners. After that

966
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,479
day, the deal will be off
the table. D Leahy, who knew

967
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:51,000
that ongoing negotiations were the only thing
preventing an all out rebellion in the valley,

968
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:56,319
disapproved of this ultimatum. If you
do that, he told the board,

969
01:08:56,600 --> 01:09:00,199
we'll start to dynamite again. Five
days after it passed, the city

970
01:09:00,239 --> 01:09:06,720
added fuel to their fury by formula
formally denying any claims for reparations. For

971
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:12,760
many in the valley, this was
the final indignity. In the Owens Valley

972
01:09:13,159 --> 01:09:18,800
Herald, editor Harry Glascock made no
effort to hide his anger. The aqueduct

973
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:24,479
would run red with human blood before
this table was settled. This was the

974
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:30,439
final indignity. It's like, hey, buddy, if you fuck my wife

975
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:44,279
five or six more times, I'm
gonna just what they'd already turned them inside

976
01:09:44,279 --> 01:09:48,039
out? What else? What is
left? They's getting fucked at every turn.

977
01:09:48,119 --> 01:09:53,720
They get fucked here again because the
bank the waterson zoned, it goes

978
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:57,479
under. Imagine there's just a fucking
of course it does. Imagine there's just

979
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:02,760
a just a huge sentient throbbing cocky
just walking around your town. You're like,

980
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:09,119
I don't think it's gonna fuck me
today. I don't think it's gonna

981
01:10:09,119 --> 01:10:12,279
shoot up my ass today. I
think today's the day that it doesn't.

982
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,880
And then it does again for one
hundredth day in a row, and audit

983
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:20,000
revealed that there were shortages in both
cash and the vault and amounts shown on

984
01:10:20,039 --> 01:10:25,800
the books. The Waters and brothers
were indicted for embezzlement, then tried and

985
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:30,279
convicted on thirty six accounts. Shit, they weren't good guys, they never

986
01:10:30,279 --> 01:10:32,039
were, they never were. No, but kind of an easy way to

987
01:10:32,039 --> 01:10:36,039
get rid of the leaders of the
rebellion. Yep. Now now you cut

988
01:10:36,079 --> 01:10:39,199
off their cut, you cut off
the money and cut off the head.

989
01:10:39,319 --> 01:10:43,159
Yeah, if they they can't fund
themselves, you know who's bringing hot dogs?

990
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:47,560
Since all local businesses had been transacted
through their bank, the closure left

991
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:51,520
merchants and customers with little more than
the small amount of money they had in

992
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:58,840
hand. So the whole town lost
their money because his bank went under.

993
01:11:00,199 --> 01:11:03,960
Bank owners went to jail for embezzlement, and then they wouldn't buy their property,

994
01:11:05,399 --> 01:11:10,520
Like, we're just gonna take it
now. The sounds bad, but

995
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:17,920
I need to reiterate the port of
Los Angeles. No, there were so

996
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:21,239
many guts, like, oh god, I just I feel like they could

997
01:11:21,239 --> 01:11:29,159
have it's so evil. Oh it's
nice to know though, by the way,

998
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,960
in case anyone is like, look, what it's kind of funny to

999
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:39,199
me, not, it's not.
It is a valid thing to be like,

1000
01:11:40,159 --> 01:11:43,960
you know, look what white people
did to the Native Americans, right,

1001
01:11:44,399 --> 01:11:48,520
we did to each other. But
then yeah, it was the Americans

1002
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,000
were off the land and it was
other white people out there. If we

1003
01:11:51,039 --> 01:11:55,960
needed that land again, we were
absolutely like, give me the fuck out.

1004
01:11:56,039 --> 01:11:59,520
Oh they wouldn't. They weren't after
Native Americans because they were Native Americans.

1005
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:01,600
They were from because they were on
land that they wanted. They didn't

1006
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:04,439
matter what their skin color was.
But but yeah, dude, it's so

1007
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:09,640
shitty that we couldn't have done something
for them. Well, what we did

1008
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:15,479
was we wiped out their entire lifetime
savings of many of the residents, including

1009
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:19,560
payments gained from the sale of homes
and ranches to Los Angeles. God,

1010
01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:23,720
so they lost Like how big was
that town? Like would it have been?

1011
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:28,239
That would have been that costly for
LA to just have one of those

1012
01:12:28,279 --> 01:12:30,319
pipes still lead to the town.
I guess if you're farmers, you need

1013
01:12:30,359 --> 01:12:35,479
a lot of water. Yeah.
And also I think one thing that I

1014
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:42,039
don't know you might not realize is
that fuck them. That's just that's what

1015
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:45,760
Rob has learned today. Fuck them, Fuck fuck anyone that goes against the

1016
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:50,319
house, because the house always wins. Chef. They don't care wheels of

1017
01:12:50,399 --> 01:12:57,000
progress or churning baby. So the
attacks on the aqueducts ceased because people just

1018
01:12:57,479 --> 01:13:00,920
didn't have it in them anymore.
They lost everything, they broke them.

1019
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,279
The City of Los Angeles sponsors.
Most of the time, when you have

1020
01:13:04,319 --> 01:13:09,079
nothing left to lose, you're just
really tired. Yeah, there's no there's

1021
01:13:09,079 --> 01:13:14,560
no like vengeance or persons like you
took everything from me, got nothing less.

1022
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:16,359
Most people back in this situation,
it's just a guy that's like,

1023
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:21,600
I can't anymore. Man. When
you're beaten down to a certain point,

1024
01:13:23,119 --> 01:13:28,439
there's no coming back. Now.
Does this play into the current situation we

1025
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:32,279
have now in which there's not enough
water for farmers? Is it because since

1026
01:13:32,319 --> 01:13:36,359
the twenties we've been rerouting all the
farmers water to the cities, and now

1027
01:13:36,359 --> 01:13:43,239
there's not enough water left to grow
crops, which the citi's need, right,

1028
01:13:43,279 --> 01:13:45,920
Like, where does California? Where
is La gonna get its crops if

1029
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:48,800
they just redroute all the water from
these farms, you know, like that's

1030
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:54,960
gotta be like those farmers probably fed
a lot of other places far ahead.

1031
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:57,680
Yeah, they know they have.
They don't feel that I'm saying. I

1032
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,720
think that this maybe is can like
stuff like kind of Yeah, we kind

1033
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:05,600
of work backwards, right, so
we want water in our toilets. We're

1034
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:09,840
like, hey, put water in
that toilet so that I could put my

1035
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:13,119
poop in that toilet, right,
So that is nothing to make poop I

1036
01:14:13,119 --> 01:14:15,520
got right now. But then they
realize I'm like, wait a minute,

1037
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,159
and I'm making poop anymore to put
in the water in the toilet. What

1038
01:14:18,319 --> 01:14:21,439
was that making poop with? Well, the farm It's like, well,

1039
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:25,199
why did the farms go away?
Oh? Well yeah, we kind of

1040
01:14:25,239 --> 01:14:28,079
took their land from Yeah, you
wanted water in the toilet for your poop

1041
01:14:28,159 --> 01:14:31,439
that you made with what the farms
sent you. Oh Jesus Christ, that's

1042
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:34,680
wow. So this is kind of
a circle of life. Yeah, but

1043
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:39,000
yeah, this is all sort of
a precursor to the problems we have to

1044
01:14:39,159 --> 01:14:43,199
this day. I don't water.
Sometimes I'll just let the faucet run.

1045
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:46,000
I'll do that when I'm in the
hotel. I'll just kind of leave the

1046
01:14:46,039 --> 01:14:55,680
shower on go out. What why
Dan like a humid sleep like a lizard.

1047
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:59,479
Like. Dan's just like like stuck
to the wall, like naked,

1048
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:02,439
just like like his like licking his
eyeball. Yeah, it's kind of like

1049
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:06,319
you're stuck on the gravitron and just
kind of climbing the walls like Spider Man.

1050
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:12,039
Yeah. The City of Los Angeles
continued to purchase private landholdings in their

1051
01:15:12,039 --> 01:15:15,960
water rights to meet the increasing demands. By nineteen twenty eight, Los Angeles

1052
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:20,359
owned ninety percent of the water in
Owens Valley, and agricultural interests in the

1053
01:15:20,399 --> 01:15:27,079
region were effectively dead. Geez,
they're a well here a water farm now,

1054
01:15:27,159 --> 01:15:32,319
bitch. Yeah. Tragedy struck that
very same year when the Saint Francis

1055
01:15:32,359 --> 01:15:40,319
Dam in northern Los Angeles County burst
the towns of Yeah right, well natural

1056
01:15:40,399 --> 01:15:45,279
dynamite no. An investigation concluded that
a rock in the area had been too

1057
01:15:45,359 --> 01:15:50,520
unstable to support the dam, so
a bunch of cities got flooded, and

1058
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:56,000
it caused the drowning of hundreds of
residents. That's the karma right there.

1059
01:15:56,039 --> 01:15:59,359
Well, Holland was cleared of charges
in connection with the incident, of course,

1060
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:02,000
but his reputation was ruined and he
was forced to resign. How was

1061
01:16:02,039 --> 01:16:08,039
this ruined his reputation because like hundreds
of people in Los Angeles, the hundreds

1062
01:16:08,079 --> 01:16:12,800
of Los Angeles Yeah, los Angelino's
Angelinos died. Yeah, and it just

1063
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:15,960
actually just not even want so it
wasn't the farming situation. This guy eventually

1064
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,960
gets has to resign and he's in
chand be like, hey, buddy,

1065
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,239
that I mean, that's Los Angeles
to this day. Right, It's like,

1066
01:16:20,279 --> 01:16:26,520
hey, you can fuck over as
many of anyone else as you want,

1067
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:31,760
but if you make my life kind
of shitty, you're done. Yeah,

1068
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:34,560
that's really anyone to be honest,
you can fuck over anyone else,

1069
01:16:35,159 --> 01:16:41,840
fuck me, I'm gonna shake my
fist at you. So that is kind

1070
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:45,840
of a basic outline of what happened
with the California water wars in the nineteen

1071
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,920
twenties. I mean, that's the
outline of how Los Angeles came to be.

1072
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:55,960
Yeah, and our current water crisis
came to be. Would you learn

1073
01:16:56,840 --> 01:17:03,640
fulcome welcome just the general. Yeah, fuck them. I learned that or

1074
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:08,399
are you just anti farmer? I
know I'm not anti farmer, I'm anti

1075
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:16,600
farmer in the wrong place. I
learned that rob hits farmers. And I

1076
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:20,199
learned that the pinker Tins are still
a thing. Oh yeah, what do

1077
01:17:20,279 --> 01:17:24,039
they? What do they do?
Now? They'll probably kill people for you

1078
01:17:24,079 --> 01:17:28,159
if you ask nicely enough, softly
enough, speak softly enough, though,

1079
01:17:28,319 --> 01:17:33,439
immer them for you. Who is
today's Hitler? Uh? Okay, I'm

1080
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:39,680
gonna actually throw you a curveball and
say, today's hitler is the people that

1081
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:45,560
wouldn't give Hollywood water. It's gonna
be m Holland. The Holland is the

1082
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:51,920
Hitler. Bro. It is funny
that, like, it is funny to

1083
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:55,880
me that they like there is like
a movement in Los Angeles said, it

1084
01:17:55,920 --> 01:18:00,119
is very ant. You know,
they talk about how Dodger Stadium basically they

1085
01:18:00,159 --> 01:18:03,439
stole in from a Latino neighborhood.
And fair enough they did, for sure,

1086
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:10,760
but like this is that it's a
footnote, but they fucked over an

1087
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:15,279
entire fucking, just honest, little
farming town. Yeah, so that again

1088
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:20,720
they could poop and water and you
know what, take their long Hollywood showers.

1089
01:18:21,319 --> 01:18:27,319
After hearing just an hour of your
argument in defense of the city,

1090
01:18:28,319 --> 01:18:34,279
I'm an award no contest here.
I think I think both parties are just

1091
01:18:34,399 --> 01:18:41,000
better off. Look again, the
Port of Los Angeles, it's the busiest

1092
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:44,920
port in the United States. It's
the most deep deep water ports. Dan

1093
01:18:45,199 --> 01:18:47,960
think about and I mean, they
blew up a pipeline and only two of

1094
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,479
them went to jail, right,
think of the mean, think about this.

1095
01:18:50,840 --> 01:19:00,680
What's more important Owensville's little crops or
the entire country? Yet cool toys

1096
01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:03,359
from China or something. I don't
know. What comes through the portal Los

1097
01:19:03,399 --> 01:19:09,239
Angeles A lot everything, probably everything
under the fucking drugs, well humans,

1098
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:13,479
of course, both those things come
through there. But also like also movies,

1099
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:18,359
Yeah, DVDs just legally ripped.
How are we going to make a

1100
01:19:18,399 --> 01:19:24,279
movie about how stealing land from poor
people is wrong? If we don't steal

1101
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:30,800
land from poor people exactly to give
the city water where we make those movies.

1102
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:36,800
That's the that's some irony of the
whole thing, all of these morally

1103
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:45,399
righteous stories, and and it's built
on a letter of bones Jesus. So
