Honestly, Yeah, a lot of things. 179 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.200 I think a lot of people don't really know about 180 00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.039 the Great Wall and all the things. But it's got 181 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.279 so much controversy around because the Internet be Internet, and 182 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:02.240 it was a fun one. 183 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.159 I thought it was great.

So, without any further 203 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:03.360 ado let's get to the LA Tunnels. All right, So 204 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.200 we are actually going to start off because this guy, 205 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.759 this YouTube channel called its History, did a bang up 206 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:14.200 job of explaining the backstory here, the official narrative, if 207 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.320 you will, of how the LA Tunnels came to be, 208 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.159 when they were started to really get you know, dug 209 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:23.440 out and for what purpose and all these things, and 210 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.159 I think that you know what, give credit where credits due. 211 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:29.039 Go check them out its History on YouTube, and let's 212 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.879 learn together cult members about these LA Tunnels. 213 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.919 Let's go back to a time before Los Angeles became 214 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.440 the sprawling metropolis it is today. You see, back then, 215 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:45.120 it faced significant challenges due to its geography. For more context, 216 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.519 in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, much of 217 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.879 downtown was surrounded by hills like Bunker Hill in Fort 218 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:56.960 Moore Hill, where wealthy families lived in mansions and exclusive neighborhoods. However, 219 00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:01.759 as the streetcar system grew and new suburbs like Hollywood emerged, 220 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:06.399 these hills became a barrier to infrastructure development, limiting the 221 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:11.519 city's growth. Merged, these hills became a barrier to infrastructure development, 222 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.320 limiting the city's growth and expansion north and west. One 223 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.039 major challenge came down to the fact that street cars 224 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:23.360 which connected downtown with the suburbs couldn't really climb steep hills, 225 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:25.600 so they had to go all the way around them. 226 00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:29.039 As an effect of this, traveling was unpleasant, with the 227 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:32.960 routes prolonged and crowded when heading towards the rapidly growing 228 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:36.440 areas of the city like Hollywood or Glendale. So naturally, 229 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.840 engineers and urban planners of the time sought solutions to 230 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.039 address this very issue, and it was then that they 231 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.679 began to modify the terrain. So, with few alternatives to 232 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:51.559 solving the city's traffic problem, underground tunnels became an indispensable 233 00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:55.679 solution for improving mobility within Los Angeles. One of the 234 00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:59.200 first was Hill Street Tunnel, inaugurated in nineteen oh nine, 235 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:02.360 with construction dating back to nineteen oh seven, led by 236 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:06.320 the Pacific Electric Railway, the electric streetcar company that connected 237 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.399 Los Angeles to its suburbs. This project was funded by 238 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.600 the one and only Henry E. Huntington. Anyhow, it was 239 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.559 built with the Red cars in mind, which made up 240 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.799 the largest streetcar network in the world back then, spanning 241 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.720 over one thousand miles of track in its prime, and 242 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.559 hence the Hill Street Tunnel, which was approximately two thousand, 243 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.759 six hundred feet in length, was excavated to allow street 244 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.919 cars to pass through the hill and avoid the surface traffic. 245 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.000 Although much of the work was manual, excavation technologies already 246 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:38.159 included using dynamite to break down rocks, as well as 247 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:42.440 steam powered excavation equipment to move the displaced materials. After 248 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:45.759 two years of work, the tunnel was complete. This tunnel 249 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.159 was crucial for connecting downtown Los Angeles to growing areas 250 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:52.639 like Hollywood and Glendale, and effectively reduced travel time by 251 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:57.480 approximately fifteen minutes, a significant saving. This tunnel also allowed 252 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.679 street cars to pass directly under the hills instead of 253 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:04.080 circling around them, making the journey much faster and efficient. 254 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.600 It also happened to reduce street congestion, which was becoming 255 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.639 an issue with the increased number of automobiles in the 256 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.120 city growing by the day. At that time, Other vital 257 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:17.600 tunnels were also excavated, such as the Fourth Street Tunnel, 258 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.519 which connected downtown with the western part of the city, 259 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.559 Whereas in Bunker Hill, in addition to leveling parts of 260 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:27.559 the hill, additional tunnels were constructed to facilitate streetcar movement 261 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:31.679 in rugged terrain, and like Magic, Los Angeles expanded into 262 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:36.279 new residential and commercial areas. However, while tunnels like the 263 00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:40.279 Hill Street and Fourth Street were excavated for streetcar transport, 264 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:44.399 another lesser known network began to take shape beneath downtown. 265 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:48.879 The Los Angeles City Administration and various private entities such 266 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.759 as banks, commissioned the construction of other tunnels to facilitate 267 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:57.399 the transportation of sensitive things like money, important documents, and 268 00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:58.320 even prisoners. 269 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:00.840 I did want to make a mention at this point 270 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:06.159 so I can understand why they started the first tunnel, especially, 271 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.559 and I know you might be thinking to yourself, why 272 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:14.039 was La becoming this growing metropolis. Hollywood wasn't the place 273 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:16.159 for movies to be made like it is today, or 274 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:19.000 it was in the Golden Age anyway, not at nineteen 275 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:21.919 oh seven, right like when they first started construction on 276 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:24.720 this tunnel. So you might be asking yourself, a cult member, 277 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:27.799 why is it that La was growing so rapidly. And 278 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:29.720 we're gonna get to that in a bit. It does, 279 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:34.399 in fact involve crude oil and the insane oil and gold. 280 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:38.320 Insane drilling operation, and we're gonna get to that in 281 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.720 a bit. But all right, the first couple of tunnels 282 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:45.120 for transit purposes, okay, completely understand that, no no red 283 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:49.200 flags on the play just yet. And then almost immediately 284 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:53.519 they get into this, they start building tunnels for transportation 285 00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:59.200 of money, of prisoners, of important documents, whatever the case. 286 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:02.159 And it was like a, now we're starting to tiptoe 287 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:05.639 into the potentials of some funck shit going on as 288 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:07.080 to why these tunnels are built. 289 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.000 Well, remember though, because the other cities that we've discussed though, 290 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:17.120 had already established tunnel systems prior to LA's tunnel system, right, 291 00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:19.279 and we know that people were already down there because 292 00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:23.759 the gold Rush brought people all across the entirety of California. 293 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:27.799 So you know, it's taken things out of the book 294 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:31.600 of San Francisco, out of Portland, out of Seattle, you know, 295 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:33.279 Santa Barbara, they have them. 296 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:34.519 They're all over the place. 297 00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:38.320 So we haven't touched on every single tunnel system in California, 298 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:41.639 but there is well established tunnels and underground cities throughout 299 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:42.919 the entirety of the state. 300 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:45.279 So absolutely I could see them doing this just like 301 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:46.240 everything else. 302 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:48.440 Was Los Angeles, and forgive me for any of our 303 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.919 West Coast listeners here, LA doesn't or there wasn't a 304 00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.799 lot of gold found there, correct, I mean there may 305 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.600 be some, but it's not like San Francisco. I completely understand. 306 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.200 It's the closest port to the Sierra Nevada were again. 307 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.759 Because I'm pretty sure that LA found the biggest one, right, 308 00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:10.360 like outside of LA. If they have the biggest Eureka, right, 309 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:11.639 Eureka was found there. 310 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.000 That okay, I think, let me. 311 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:16.120 Let me look it up for sure. 312 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:19.480 I do love history, but the master of all things, 313 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:21.279 I just as you're talking about the boom, like you 314 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.000 said oil and gold, and I'm like, yeah, that makes sense. 315 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.519 I'm like, wait a minute. Did LA have a quote 316 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.720 unquote gold rush for actual gold or was it people 317 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.080 that had made their money like decided to say. 318 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:36.000 Two hundred and twelve pounds in the initial years which 319 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:39.840 took which total historical gold production for all of Los 320 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:45.120 Angeles County reached one hundred and nine thousand ounces almost 321 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.080 one hundred and ten thousand ounces valued at two million. 322 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:49.919 To four million in the nineteenth century. 323 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:54.080 It's not that's not like bad by any means, but 324 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:56.600 it's not the same as like we got from more 325 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:57.240 up north. 326 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:02.399 But yeah, I'm pretty positive that Eureka was found in 327 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:05.759 was found in LA. 328 00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:09.000 Interesting like Eurka, I mean the first gold nugget. 329 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:13.799 Yeah, the biggest gold nugget I think it was the 330 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.440 Eureka lemon was first found and propagated in LA in 331 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.400 eighteen fifty eight. 332 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.519 Got you okay? Fair So, yeah, you got a lemon 333 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:24.960 sized nugget of gold. Yeah, people gonna come to find 334 00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:28.119 a little snippet of it, Yeah for sure. Okay, fair enough. 335 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.720 But anyway, like I was saying, we could understand why 336 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:35.119 they started the tunnel transit system and then private entities, 337 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:39.119 banks and wealthy business people started digging their own tunnels 338 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:42.839 for their own purposes. And of course, on the record, 339 00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:47.319 it was for transporting money and transporting official things from 340 00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:50.279 pointing in to point B without the dangers of going 341 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:54.359 top side. But is that the only reason I think not? 342 00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:56.839 I accidentally got it wrong. 343 00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:59.720 Eureka was a different nugget that was found, the biggest 344 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.880 nughugge it was found. It's called the Mahave nugget, which 345 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:05.839 is similarly associated with Eureka, but that was found in 346 00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:09.960 nineteen seventy seven the Mohave Desert and it is like 347 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:14.559 four point nine. It says one point one hundred and 348 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:16.680 fifty six Troy ounces this is what it says. 349 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:17.119 Cool. 350 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:21.599 So yeah, so Eureka, though, is a part of it too, 351 00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:23.839 And I'm not really I glanced over that, so I 352 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.240 didn't actually look at it. But the Mohave Nugget is 353 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:31.640 housed in La so that's why it kind of got misconstruted. 354 00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:32.759 But yeah, fair enough. 355 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:34.920 So that's that's a little bit of why the city 356 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:36.799 started to grow so crazy. And we're going to talk 357 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:38.799 more about the oil industry there and all that here 358 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:41.240 in a moment. But like I'm saying, at this point, 359 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:44.759 we start to see private equities started digging their own tunnels, 360 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.319 and things kind of just got sideways from there, but 361 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:48.279 let's continue. 362 00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:53.160 Unlike the extensive public transportation tunnels, these smaller ones weren't 363 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:56.200 built to move passengers across the city. Rather, they were 364 00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:01.240 meant to fulfill critical administrative and logistical funktions. In particular, 365 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:04.720 this secret network of tunnels connected critical areas of the 366 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:09.400 civic center, where courts, jails, and banks were located. These 367 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:14.000 underground routes also allowed daily operations to occur efficiently without 368 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:17.279 crossing the crowded streets of downtown. Although much shorter and 369 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:20.480 more complex than the tunnels built for streetcars, they were 370 00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:24.680 reinforced with concrete to insure stability, and hence the tunnels 371 00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:28.440 were gradually built connecting the buildings as the city expanded. 372 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:31.319 Many of the entrances to these tunnels were hidden in 373 00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:35.559 the basements of buildings or beneath important structures, allowing easy 374 00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:38.279 and discrete access for those who used them well. The 375 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:41.839 exact construction cost of this network was not well documented. 376 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.599 They were likely part of a general expense associated with 377 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:50.160 constructing buildings in the Civic Center and other private institutions downtown. 378 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:53.240 By the nineteen twenties, it was estimated that there were 379 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:57.160 around eleven miles of tunnel under the city of Los Angeles, 380 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:01.400 particularly in the downtown area. What began as a solution 381 00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:05.599 to Los Angeles' geographic and traffic problems would soon evolve 382 00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:09.039 into a network of underground routes that shaped the city's transportation, 383 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:13.039 but only to later play a role in its darker history. 384 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.359 And now, of course, we get to the underbelly, to 385 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.759 the crime, to the bootleggers, inter. 386 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:39.240 Prohibition nineteen twenty, The nation underwent a drastic change with 387 00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:43.839 the implementation of prohibition, which made the production, sale, and 388 00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:48.039 transportation of alcohol totally illegal. As the country adjusted to 389 00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.319 this new reality, the underground of Los Angeles became the 390 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:54.599 perfect refuge for those seeking to evade the law. With 391 00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:59.200 over eleven miles of underground passages, these tunnels were repurposed 392 00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:03.400 as secret right out for moving smuggled alcohol. The tunnels 393 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.480 connected to hidden bars, known back then as speakeasies, a 394 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.839 term which apparently comes from speaking quietly to avoid drawing attention. 395 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.799 These places were discreete and often hidden behind the ordinary 396 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:20.799 facades of legitimate businesses like restaurants, shops, or warehouses. Many 397 00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:24.519 were located in basements or behind concealed doors, whereas some 398 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.079 were connected directly to the tunnels under the city, making 399 00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:32.440 it easier to move the alcohol and people around without detection. 400 00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:35.799 And they also had a very strong cultural impact, as 401 00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:39.839 speakeasies offered more than just illegal drinks. Many featured live 402 00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:43.079 music such as jazz, and attracted people from all walk 403 00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:47.880 of lives, ranging from ordinary citizens to celebrities and figures 404 00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:51.119 from organized crime. Some of the most famous venues included 405 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:54.680 the King Eddie Saloon disguised as a piano store, and 406 00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:58.880 the Executive Coconut Grove at the Ambassador Hotel, which attracted 407 00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:02.119 stars like Frank's and Not and the Marx Brothers. We 408 00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:05.359 should also point out that skid Roll played a critical 409 00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:08.839 role in the alcohol smuggling that went on during prohibition. 410 00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:12.039 Located in the heart of downtown and not terribly far 411 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.720 away from the port, this area facilitated the illegal transportation 412 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:19.440 of liquor that arrived on ships. The alcohol was offloaded 413 00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:23.319 and discreetly moved through a network of underground tunnels once 414 00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:26.559 it approached skid Row. Many bars and warehouses here had 415 00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:30.279 secret entrances to these tunnels, which not only provided safe 416 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.119 access to alcohol, but also offered quick escape routes in 417 00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:37.839 case of raids. Additionally, since this was a somewhat marginal area, 418 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:40.759 police surveillance in skid Row was said to be less 419 00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:43.799 strict than in other parts of the city, allowing speakeasies 420 00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:46.599 to operate with less risk of being discovered. And it 421 00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:49.960 needs to be emphasized that organized crime played a central 422 00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:53.519 role in running this network, controlling the smuggling and ensuring 423 00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:57.000 the operation of secret bars at the same time, corruption 424 00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:00.720 within the police and local politicians helped mini the number 425 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:04.240 of rates, meaning over time, these tunnels became the center 426 00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:08.400 of corruption that dominated prohibition era Los Angeles. 427 00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:11.920 They weren't so all right, like we're like we've already 428 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.400 discussed of course prohibition. We got bootleggers, rum runners if 429 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.200 you want to call them whatever, that are smuggling things 430 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.519 directly from the port through tunnels to skid Row, which 431 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:24.000 if you look at the map that was just on 432 00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:28.160 screen there that is not a quick jaunt on land, 433 00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:32.400 let alone below the surface. So yeah, this was a 434 00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:38.599 very intricate network. There is officially an estimated eleven miles 435 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:41.839 of tunnels, but unofficially, I mean, your guess is as 436 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:46.319 good as mine, honestly, I mean that is I mean, 437 00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:49.519 especially with skid Row, has always been like you're saying, 438 00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:53.200 a bit of a you know, a grimy areas of 439 00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:55.480 the cops really kind of turned the other way, especially 440 00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.240 with the corruption that was going on at that time. 441 00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:59.160 But there we have. 442 00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:02.799 Yeah, skid Road is just absolutely horrific. 443 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:06.240 Yeah, which we're going to talk about that more towards 444 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.720 the end of the episode, after we talk about Hugh 445 00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:12.200 Hefner and his underground tunnels from the Playboy mansion to celebrities. 446 00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:14.640 But before we get to that, let's talk a little 447 00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:17.920 bit more about what is under the ground of Los 448 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:23.119 Angeles itself. Right, we do in fact mean oils oil wells, 449 00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.680 and these wells are actually being hidden in plain sight 450 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.799 in Los Angeles. For anybody who does not know LA 451 00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:34.119 has I think it's like a trillion barrels of oil 452 00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:38.759 underneath it. And they have been extracting this for over 453 00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:41.720 one hundred years. And in the earlier days of LA 454 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:43.720 there was no problem with seeing a bunch of drilling 455 00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:47.759 rigs just operating, because who the fuck cared. However, as 456 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:49.799 the city grew up around it, they tried to find 457 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:50.839 ways of hiding them. 458 00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:53.440 So here is buildings up around him. 459 00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:55.119 Yes, there, They've. 460 00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:57.039 Hid them inside of buildings. 461 00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:00.720 And now they are soundproofed buildings. There's a couple of 462 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:04.440 islands that they have like artificial waterfalls going as just 463 00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:06.519 a way to like cut down on noise and shit. 464 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:10.240 One of these actually has led to kids getting sick, 465 00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:12.160 which is crazy because it's in the middle of a 466 00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:16.160 high school and these kids they like painted the sides 467 00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:17.559 of it as a way to like show the kids 468 00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:20.359 support and then kids started getting cancer and shit, it's 469 00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:22.759 it's fucking hilarious. But let's talk about it here. 470 00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:26.200 So I mean, that's funny, but like I mean, it's. 471 00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:28.920 You know, I guys, it's more of a cob sense 472 00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:31.240 of humor, but it's at the point here. This is 473 00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:35.039 from Los Angeles Magazine. So here are four oil wells 474 00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:37.279 hidden in plain sight in LA. For the record, there's 475 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.920 a lot. These are just four of the more well known. Okay, 476 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:44.960 So first one the Packard Well site. So if you're 477 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.680 just driving through LA and you see this building, you're 478 00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:51.960 not gonna think anything's really suspicious about it. I wouldn't. 479 00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:52.319 You know. 480 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:57.759 It's a squirret building, no windows. 481 00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:01.720 It's fine, But believe it or not, it is a 482 00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:04.880 very active oil well. This was built in nineteen sixty 483 00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:08.559 seven and what looks like a windowless beige office building 484 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.480 along Peako in the mid Willshire neighborhood hides fifty two 485 00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:16.839 oil and gas wells owned by Sentinel Peak Resources. A 486 00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:19.920 derek on tracks moves from well head to well head 487 00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:23.960 within the roofless structure. It doesn't this structure has no roof, 488 00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:29.519 but that's wild. And it's also like pretty soundproof as 489 00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:31.519 far as the walls are. Concerns why it's constructed with 490 00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:34.400 like these slits for air, but like no one would 491 00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:39.519 know that ever unless you knew what this building was, right. 492 00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:41.720 Which poses the question like do you actually really know 493 00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:42.960 what you drive by every day? 494 00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:47.319 Absolutely correct, Raven. The next is the Beverly Center. It's 495 00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:50.279 just as big, almost looks like a big old brick warehouse. 496 00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:54.440 I guess it's very wind a lot of industrial stuff 497 00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:56.759 on the outside of it, but actually this on the inside. 498 00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:59.079 From the outside of all you see is these brick walls. 499 00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:03.759 So tucked on the western side of the Beverly Center, 500 00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.559 the Sentinel Peak Resource Rig peaks out from behind tall 501 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:12.880 walls and foliage, barely visible to passers by on San Vincente. 502 00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:15.519 From the top of the mall's parking garage, you can 503 00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:19.480 scope the site's full expanse, which includes fifty four wells 504 00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:23.000 that tap into Salt Lake and Beverly Hill oil fields 505 00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:26.519 and produce tens of thousands of barrels of black gold 506 00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:31.359 every year. So next we have the more uh what 507 00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:35.920 I think is funny but maybe not, The Tower of Hope. Yeah, 508 00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:38.640 that's the name. Tower of Hope. And you see it's 509 00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:41.119 got a lot of flowers on it. All these things 510 00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:44.440 and the one hundred and sixty five foot tall derrick 511 00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:47.720 at Beverly Hills High As in Beverly Hills High School 512 00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:51.799 was dubbed the Tower of Hope in two thousand and 513 00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:57.079 clad in a vinyl sound absorbing sheath festooned with flowers 514 00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:02.839 painted by hospitalized children. Lawsuits claiming chemicals associated with the 515 00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:07.119 rig caused cancer were either dismissed or settled, but after 516 00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:11.200 the owner of Venoko went bankrupt, the decade's old drilling 517 00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:14.640 site was shut down in July of twenty seventeen. So 518 00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:18.279 why I'm saying it's funny is because the kids that 519 00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:23.319 they were painted it, they were hospitalized because of what 520 00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:27.079 this Derek did to them. 521 00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:29.240 I still don't see the humor in that. 522 00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:32.079 But like I I don't know, maybe I'm just fucked 523 00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:37.039 up here. You know. The Irony raven it's called irony anyway, 524 00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:40.240 they shut it down in twenty seventeen. But let's talk 525 00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:43.680 more about it now. The Cardiff Tower. This one is 526 00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:47.319 an interesting one. So the Pico Robertson neighborhood has been 527 00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:51.160 a Jewish enclave since the end of World War Two. Jews, 528 00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:54.400 I know, it's La Raven. It's like say, in New York, 529 00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:56.720 we can't not bring up the Jews in some way, 530 00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.720 but anyway, So it makes sense that the then owner 531 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:04.400 of the Occidental Petroleum disguised this drilling site at Pico 532 00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:08.359 and Cardiff as a synagogue in nineteen sixty six. It 533 00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:11.480 was rebuilt in two thousand and one. The pseudo shool, 534 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:14.680 now the property of Pacific Coast Energy, is home to 535 00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:19.079 forty wells which are access accessed by movable dereks that 536 00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:21.920 taps the same oil field as the Tower of Hope. 537 00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:24.359 So all right, let me break this one down for you. 538 00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:28.359 They needed to put a well in this area. This 539 00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:31.400 area happened to be a Jewish area. Two things that 540 00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:35.599 Jews love money and synagogues. I think that's a fair 541 00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:39.680 statement to say. And so the oil company was like, hey, listen, 542 00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:43.400 we're gonna pay y'all to just not ask questions, and 543 00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:46.119 we're gonna build this to look like a synagogue. And hell, 544 00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:48.680 you could even open one of your shools here and 545 00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:52.400 it's all good. It's gonna be fine. And everybody basically 546 00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:54.240 getting the thumbs up. And that's that. 547 00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:59.519 So did you know that there's eight thousand oil and 548 00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:03.000 gas located in LA. There's actually one hundred and one 549 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:06.599 thousand unplugged oil and gas fells throughout California, but eight thousand, 550 00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:10.920 so eight percent is located in LA County, I believe it. 551 00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:14.079 And speaking on that, let's learn more about the fake 552 00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:18.200 buildings that hide LA's massive oil industry and some of 553 00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:20.480 the numbers that are associated with this. Because I didn't 554 00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:25.079 realize that LA, especially in the early nineteen hundreds, pretty 555 00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:28.160 much it was like the fucking Saudi Arabia of the world. 556 00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:31.000 I had no idea. Let's learn together, y'all. 557 00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:34.559 Okay, today we're going to be talking about LA's most 558 00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:37.880 precious sludge. And now I'm not talking about the MCU. 559 00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:42.559 I'm talking about oil, petroleum, the slicky ichy. You see, 560 00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:45.559 Los Angeles has a massive petroleum industry that digs for 561 00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:46.839 oil right in the middle. 562 00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:50.680 I'm sorry, they just called oil the slicky ichy. That 563 00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:54.240 sounds way. Maybe I'm not mature enough for this conversation, 564 00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:59.559 but that's fucking hilarious. But okay, LA's La slicky ikey. 565 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:02.559 And yeah, we mean crude oil. And that's not what 566 00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:05.279 I thought when I first heard that one, homie. But 567 00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:08.680 all right, that's a thing anyway, Let's continue. 568 00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:11.920 Sorry, Angelis has a massive petroleum industry that digs for 569 00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:13.880 oil right in the middle of the city. But I 570 00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:16.000 wouldn't blame you for not knowing that, because they do 571 00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:18.680 a really good job of keeping it a secret. It 572 00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:22.599 turns out La County actually produces a whopping eighteen million 573 00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:25.400 barrels of oil a year, and Church Houston can do 574 00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:27.160 that in like a week. But half of Houston looks 575 00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:29.680 like this, and Texas public schools still consider crude oil 576 00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:32.279 a vegetable. What's unique about LA's oil wells is that 577 00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:34.440 they're not all sitting in some barren oil fields on 578 00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.720 the outskirts of LA. They're actually in La hiding between 579 00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:41.279 the cafe bookstores and the bookstore cafes. There are thousands 580 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:43.400 of these rigs scattered throughout the city, and most of 581 00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:45.720 them are digging for that sweet black dimes or vinegar 582 00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.359 within fifteen hundred feet of a house, school, church. 583 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:48.799 Or hospital. 584 00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:51.200 Now, unless you've always wanted to live within walking distance 585 00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:53.680 of a giant piece of industrial petroleum pumping equipment, which, 586 00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:55.680 knowing my audience is probably most of you, you might 587 00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:58.680 be wondering, how the hell do people put up with this? Well, 588 00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:01.680 the answer is most don't even realize that they're living 589 00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:03.759 in the middle of a massive oil field. For most 590 00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:06.039 of the city's history, the oil industry was pretty hard 591 00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:08.640 to ignore. There were giant oil derricks along the streets 592 00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:11.039 and the beaches. Crude oil frequently ended up in people's 593 00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:13.200 houses and yards, and lighting the candles on your birthday 594 00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:15.440 cake was probably the most dangerous thing you'd do all year. 595 00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:18.440 The Angelinas were so knee deep in black gold, in fact, 596 00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:20.720 that during the Second World War they even voted to 597 00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:23.480 install oil pumps in their own backyards. Well that might 598 00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:26.079 sound a little crazy now, this is essentially the entire 599 00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:28.039 reason that Los Angeles was able to become such a 600 00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:31.599 massive metropolis. For a while there, La alone was generating 601 00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:33.799 more than a quarter of the world's oil, and everyone 602 00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:36.359 was getting filthy rich, or at least getting filthy. 603 00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:41.400 Of course, a quarter of the world's oil was coming 604 00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:45.920 out of La I had no fucking clue. 605 00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:48.519 I knew that it had minerals, I knew that it 606 00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:51.000 had oil, and I knew that it had gold. Yeah, Like, 607 00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:54.720 I knew that those were the things that initiated at 608 00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:57.119 least the. 609 00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:57.599 Growth of that area. 610 00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:00.759 I didn't realize that, like they I didn't know until 611 00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:03.960 like a few years ago that they were still actively 612 00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:08.119 getting oil inside and around everything. I mean, like I 613 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:11.759 think like the closest pretty much everything is about one 614 00:33:11.799 --> 00:33:14.480 thy two hundred feet away from another building. 615 00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:17.880 Like every oil place is like situated at. 616 00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:20.359 A certain amount of feet away, and they're having like 617 00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:22.440 because you know, they've made them. 618 00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:24.119 Well, here's the. 619 00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:29.720 Thing is, the more property sticking stricken areas are surrounding 620 00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:35.400 those places, you know, higher disproportions of it and stuff 621 00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:37.640 are around the oil sources. 622 00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:40.319 But it's like the oil sources were there first. 623 00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:42.319 So it's kind of like one of those conversations of 624 00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:46.400 like did they purposely change and shift around these locations 625 00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:47.880 or you know. 626 00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:51.359 Some yes, some know like the one that the Jewish area, 627 00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:54.400 like that area is not a run down spot, Beverly 628 00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:57.160 Hills High isn't necessarily a run down spot. But yes, 629 00:33:57.200 --> 00:33:58.640 to your point, there are a few of them that, 630 00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:00.920 like clearly the area kind of went. 631 00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:05.680 More marginalized groups are around these oil situations. Hell, they 632 00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:08.239 have some wells that are twenty five feet from homes 633 00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:12.000 twenty five feet for sure, and like they're producing all 634 00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:14.360 sorts of chemicals, and then they have a lot of 635 00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:20.239 association with different types of issues with like you know, cardiac, respiratory, neurological, 636 00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:26.679 palmonary effects, childhood cancer, premature labor, mental health harms. 637 00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:28.519 Like those are just common things that are around this 638 00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:29.000 and you're. 639 00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:32.280 Talking you don't even know that an oil situation's happening 640 00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:34.400 twenty five feet from your house because they have. 641 00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:37.239 Mental health issues just come with the territory at this point. 642 00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:39.880 Yeah, it's kind of wild to me though, that this 643 00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:42.000 is like an actual thing that they are producing that 644 00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:44.400 much oil at one point. 645 00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:46.840 A quarter of the world's crude oil, which I mean, 646 00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:50.239 granted we're talking about in the early nineteen hundreds, cars 647 00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:52.800 were not as prevalent as they are now. I mean 648 00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:56.079 it was we were going through the industrial Revolution, don't 649 00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:57.840 get me wrong, and a lot of things were going 650 00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:02.039 heavily into the industrialization. But still that is a that's 651 00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:05.119 a bold claim to make. And then even still LA 652 00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:09.159 has a massive amount of oil underneath it, but it's 653 00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:10.960 it's kind of like one of those reserves were kind 654 00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:13.559 of sitting on just if and when we would need it. 655 00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:16.000 I didn't know that in World War two people were 656 00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:18.639 opting to let the government come and drill oil from 657 00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:22.960 their backyards. That's pretty fucking wild too, But I mean again, 658 00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:25.639 it's crazy to look at the day and age at 659 00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:29.440 which that was going down. So anyway, let's continue. But again, 660 00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:34.519 this is why realistically, La itself became the booming metropolis 661 00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:37.400 with so many people flooding in because a lot of 662 00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:39.800 them were trying to make their money in the oil field. 663 00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:41.400 So all right, let's continue. 664 00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:44.239 Of course, the public's enthusiasm for these thousands of greasy 665 00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:46.920 Eiffel towers didn't last forever, and eventually the people of 666 00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:48.960 La decided that their city needed to look less like 667 00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:51.960 this man more like this. So the petroleum company's device 668 00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:55.280 the most American solution possible, keep drilling for oil and 669 00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:55.960 just cover it. 670 00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:57.599 Up, like literally cover it up. 671 00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:01.159 Let me explain. In the nineteen sixties, Axidental Petroleum wanted 672 00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:03.880 to drill for oil in this Orthodox Jewish neighborhood outside 673 00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:07.280 of Beverly Hills. Now, the petroleum executives knew exactly two 674 00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:10.320 things about the Orthodox Jewish community. One they didn't like 675 00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:13.840 giant oil derecks, and two they seemed to like synagogues. 676 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:16.800 So as a compromise, Occidental Petroleum decided that they were 677 00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:18.840 going to build a giant oil derek, but they would 678 00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:21.559 disguise it as a synagogue, or at least something resembling 679 00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:24.480 a synagogue kind of. What's important, though, is that the 680 00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:26.840 building didn't end up looking as ugly as this, which 681 00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:29.519 was so exciting that the mayor of La personally attended 682 00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:32.840 the ribbon cutting and called this base rectangle quote an 683 00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:36.679 outstanding contribution to civic beauty. From the sixties onward, all 684 00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:40.039 sorts of these disguised oil dereks started popping up around La. 685 00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:42.840 There are even entire oil pumping platforms off the coast 686 00:36:42.840 --> 00:36:45.039 of Long Beats that are disguised to look like islands 687 00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:48.239 with trees, fig buildings and artificial waterfalls to mass the 688 00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:50.880 sounds of drilling pumping and business guys jumping into giant 689 00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:53.400 pools of gold coins. Of course, most of the wells 690 00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:56.159 aren't as cleverly hidden. There's just sitting in big windowless 691 00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:58.599 boxes like this or this, and some are still more 692 00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:00.519 or less sitting out in the open, like this one, 693 00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:03.159 the Tower of Hope. This oil derek operated right in 694 00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:05.719 the middle of a local high school, and despite the 695 00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:07.760 fact that it was about as well hidden as a 696 00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:10.440 brand new oil derek on Christmas morning, it was beloved 697 00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:13.480 for its floral walls painted by thousands of local sick children. 698 00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:15.639 That is until it allegedly started getting all the other 699 00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:17.400 children sick, and the school renamed it the Tower of 700 00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:18.320 Hope you don't get cancer. 701 00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:18.880 Whoops. 702 00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:21.320 Now, if you're feeling left out because you don't live 703 00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:23.519 in La, don't worry. This sort of thing. Isn't you 704 00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:26.039 unique to La, or for that matter, the petroleum industry. 705 00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:28.480 All right, so we don't need to get into other spots. 706 00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:31.920 But yes, other places around the country have also pretty 707 00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:36.519 much hidden oil dereks under buildings before. But again, La itself, 708 00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:39.880 for all their hippie, dippy, crunchy bullshit, the city only 709 00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:43.679 exists because of crude oil, which is fair, That's fascinating 710 00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:47.239 and yes, a little hilarious. The school even renamed it 711 00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:49.400 the Tower instead of the Tower of Hope, the Tower 712 00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:54.039 of Hope you don't get cancer. That's fucking hilarious. You see, 713 00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:56.320 you see you want to say it's not funny, but 714 00:37:56.400 --> 00:38:02.119 you're snickering. You're snickering, just saying anyway, Ye, So now, 715 00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:06.480 With that in mind, these oil industries and these booms, 716 00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:10.239 these tycoons coming in like this, it's worth mentioning that 717 00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:13.599 a portion of these LA tunnels was also used in 718 00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:18.559 a Ponzi scheme involving the oil industry. Listen to this one, y'all. 719 00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:19.760 This is fascinating. 720 00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:23.400 One of the most infamous was the Julian Petroleum scandal, 721 00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:26.039 a massive fraud that shook the city in the mid 722 00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:30.320 nineteen twenties. At the heart of the scandal was CC Julian, who, 723 00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:35.920 through his company Julian Petroleum Corporation, orchestrated a Ponzi scheme 724 00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:39.679 selling more than one hundred and fifty million dollars in 725 00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:44.679 fraudulent shares. Thousands of investors were deceived, including prominent businessmen 726 00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:47.760 and influential figures in the city. Well the tunnels were 727 00:38:47.760 --> 00:38:51.639 being used for alcohol smuggling. Julian and his associates took 728 00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:56.119 advantage of this underground infrastructure to move large sums of money, 729 00:38:56.119 --> 00:39:00.880 discreetly hiding their operations from public scrutiny. The fraud collapsed 730 00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:03.760 in nineteen twenty seven when it was revealed that Julian 731 00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:07.519 had issued millions of shares with no natural backing. Leaving 732 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:11.400 the investors bankrupt and the local financial system in chaos. 733 00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:15.760 CC Julian fled to China to avoid justice and eventually 734 00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:18.440 committed suicide in nineteen thirty four. 735 00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:22.920 Okay, so you see these underground tunnels are being used 736 00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:26.800 by bad people. And this, dude, I mean the whole 737 00:39:26.800 --> 00:39:29.719 thing selling shares in a new oil venture in LA. 738 00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:33.000 That didn't seem crazy. There were so many others that 739 00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:36.559 were doing oil business in La. This to an investor, 740 00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:39.320 to all these people, one point five million dollars, all 741 00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:41.679 this like sure, yeah, that sounds good. There's so much 742 00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:43.719 oil get after. Man, here's a couple of moneys for 743 00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:46.360 a couple of shares. It's all good. In reality, it 744 00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:50.000 was all done for a bootlegging operation and it was 745 00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:53.840 just a giant Ponzi scheme. He got caught and U 746 00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:56.199 ended up putting a gun in his mouth, because that's 747 00:39:56.199 --> 00:39:57.599 what you do when you screwed people out of that 748 00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:00.519 much money. I suppose. So we already you can see 749 00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:05.760 how the tunnels first were built, and why why business 750 00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:09.800 owners and private equity groups started building their own tunnels, 751 00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:13.320 and for what purpose inter prohibition. Now we're getting into 752 00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:18.280 the black market trade and sale of illegal liquor and 753 00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:22.239 prostitutes and all these things. No, these tunnels were not used, 754 00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:24.360 at least from any record that I can find. They 755 00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:29.760 were not used for shanghaiing people into naval service. Like 756 00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:32.760 all the other episodes we've done about underground cities and 757 00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:35.800 things were concerned as far as the research I can tell, 758 00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:37.400 and Ravenly, I don't know if you found anything on 759 00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:39.639 your end, but I can find no record of the 760 00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:43.400 tunnels being used for shanghaiing or press ganging or crimping 761 00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:47.440 or whatever to get dudes onto the boats. 762 00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:49.360 I haven't found anything. 763 00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:51.679 Honestly, I spent most of the majority of my time 764 00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:53.920 researching about lizard people. 765 00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:56.599 Which is a really good segue because as we're talking 766 00:40:56.599 --> 00:41:00.000 about this nineteen twenties into the nineteen thirties, here is 767 00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:04.039 an archive from the La Times from January twenty ninth, 768 00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:09.880 nineteen thirty four, talking about the Lizard People's catacomb city hunted. 769 00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:12.280 This is wild as fuck. Raven, you found this. 770 00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:16.199 Yeah, yes, So there's actually two La Times. You have 771 00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:19.159 to scroll down more. It's on the second page, so 772 00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:24.480 click like you just click the oh yeah, there is yep. 773 00:41:24.599 --> 00:41:28.760 So this is a headline and lizard People's catacomb city 774 00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:33.599 Haunted is a headline in the newspaper. This is one 775 00:41:33.639 --> 00:41:36.400 of the next one you're going to show is another article. Actually, 776 00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:40.360 multiple articles were written in la and so actually this 777 00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:44.280 was even in this guy Gene he actually went out 778 00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:46.639 and did a whole bunch of research on this, and 779 00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:49.119 like they actually aired this. This was something that like 780 00:41:49.320 --> 00:41:53.719 Saturday morning, Sunday morning, they're getting their newspaper and this 781 00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:56.519 is what people are seeing. They're like, excuse me, did 782 00:41:56.519 --> 00:42:00.000 I just read this correctly? And why did this happen? 783 00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:03.559 So we're going to dive in deep into good old 784 00:42:03.599 --> 00:42:05.920 George Warren and I'm gonna call him Warren because he's 785 00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:11.280 mentioned as Warren a lot. He is a mining engineer 786 00:42:11.480 --> 00:42:13.880 and some say a mining engineer, and. 787 00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:17.880 He had other kind of backgrounds as well. 788 00:42:17.960 --> 00:42:21.599 Basically, he created this invention that he called the radio 789 00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:25.239 X ray device, and what this did was is that 790 00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:30.880 it could detect minerals and or through basically the rock 791 00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:33.920 his whole He stated at one point in an interview 792 00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:36.840 that he could look through rocks to see what was 793 00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:43.280 inside of it, and he decided. So it's an interesting story. Basically, 794 00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:45.639 if you want to click to the next Oh, one. 795 00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:46.880 I was gonna read a little bit of this one. 796 00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:48.400 Oh you could read it. Yeah, go ahead, you can go. 797 00:42:48.599 --> 00:42:50.920 Oh and I'm not gonna read the entire article because 798 00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:53.599 it's only a snippet of it. But it says continued 799 00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:57.280 on page five, column two, Lizard people, catacomb city. Hunted 800 00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:02.280 engineer sinks shaft under Fort to find maze of tunnels 801 00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:07.800 and priceless treasures of legendary inhabitants by Gene Basquette. But 802 00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:12.239 busy Los Angeles, although little realizing it in the hustle 803 00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:17.159 and bustle of modern existence, so stands Yeah, it's kind 804 00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:20.760 of cut off.

And basically it's another 822 00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:27.000 continuum of talking about the shaft and the explorers and 823 00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:27.800 the key. 824 00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:30.159 Room of the city and the catacombs and stuff that 825 00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:32.719 he believes. He's a geo. 826 00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:39.440 Geophysicist, mining engineer, and designer, so they kind of like 827 00:44:39.639 --> 00:44:42.239 they they add different stuff to him. But basically old 828 00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:44.480 Boy was not like it's just some random dude off 829 00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:47.760 the street. He actually went and got this city approved 830 00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:51.840 to drill this shaft. The city council approve this with 831 00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:55.920 a patent. The official petition was in February of nineteen 832 00:44:56.000 --> 00:44:58.599 thirty three, and the city basically was like, you know what, 833 00:44:59.039 --> 00:45:01.320 you have enough shit here for us to decide that 834 00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:03.920 lizard people are real, and you're correct, and we're going 835 00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:07.159 to take fifty percent of all the treasure that belongs 836 00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:09.800 to this whoa, I'm sure, and. 837 00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:11.719 I'm trying to read this, but it's like super blurry 838 00:45:11.719 --> 00:45:14.119 even when I zoom in. But that's they decided to 839 00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:16.440 take fifty percent of whatever treasure he found. 840 00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:20.840 Yes, So like he talks about, oh god, it just 841 00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:23.280 popped me out of it. He says, like I knew 842 00:45:23.320 --> 00:45:26.280 I was over a pattern of tunnels and so okay, 843 00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:30.440 what happens. What is is that he builds this device, right, 844 00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:37.840 he hears about the people talking about this for Fort Moore, 845 00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:40.840 and there's like tunnels and all this stuff out there, 846 00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:43.480 and they're you know whatever, and people been exploring it 847 00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:46.440 for one hundred years prior to you. There's a ton 848 00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:49.920 of legends out there. It sits at the edge of 849 00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:52.880 the old downtown in LA And so Warren goes out 850 00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:55.519 there and starts exploring it with his new little fan 851 00:45:55.599 --> 00:46:00.239 dangled radio X ray situation that he made. So he 852 00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:02.639 had already heard all these rumors about the treasure lore 853 00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:04.679 and all this stuff, and he's like, you know what, cool, 854 00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:06.679 I'm gonna go out and see if I could find 855 00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:10.039 this Spanish gold because it's lost somewhere out here in 856 00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:13.679 these hills and it's from the Spanish US War apparently. 857 00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:19.360 And so he ends up he ends up scanning this 858 00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:24.880 area that turns into an entire labyrinth of giant rooms, 859 00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:28.280 tunnels and all this stuff in when he maps it out, 860 00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:31.360 he like, you know, actually draws out this map. It 861 00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:36.000 turns into a giant lizard like the map itself. Yeah, 862 00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:39.639 it's like once he's so he is tracking with his 863 00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:42.960 X ray machine where the tunnels are going, and there's voids, 864 00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:46.039 massive voids, and he's mapping these massive voids and he's 865 00:46:46.119 --> 00:46:47.800 mapping these tunnels and all this stuff. 866 00:46:48.199 --> 00:46:48.599 Wow. 867 00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:53.679 Basically he states that what he sees is the map 868 00:46:53.719 --> 00:46:58.039 itself that he ends up drawing is a lizard shape. 869 00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:02.320 Like it's a massive lizard shape. Let me see, I 870 00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:04.000 have all of it, like we'ritten. I have a lot 871 00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:06.480 of notes. And one of those people that takes weach, no. 872 00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:08.719 You're good, you're good. And what we're looking at right 873 00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:10.960 now that I was trying to read but can't, I mean, granted, 874 00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:15.960 it's a newspaper from the San Pedro News Pilot, volume six, 875 00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:20.679 number two eighty three, issued on January thirtieth, nineteen thirty four, 876 00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:23.239 and it's also talking about what we read on the 877 00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:25.599 last article, so like there's it's not just one like 878 00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:28.559 tabloid that was talking about. It was the La Times, 879 00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:30.639 it was the San Pedro News Pilot, like this is 880 00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:33.719 this was a well documented story that was circulating it 881 00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:34.360 this time. 882 00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:37.039 It was actually a really big story. 883 00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:40.119 So the map that the patterns of the voids that 884 00:47:40.159 --> 00:47:43.440 he maps out actually are technically under sent the Central 885 00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:46.480 Library right now to Mount Washington, to the hills in 886 00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:50.199 the north, like as of if we were to look 887 00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:54.039 at it today, this is where it's at. And he 888 00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:58.400 basically he decides that he's like, you know what, there's 889 00:47:58.519 --> 00:47:59.480 enough evidence here. 890 00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:01.400 I I need to go talk to some people. 891 00:48:01.519 --> 00:48:04.800 Let me go talk to the Native American tribe because 892 00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:07.400 there is a lure about this and I want to 893 00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:10.920 hear about what is actually happening with this lore. So 894 00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:14.079 he goes to the Hopi tribe and he talks to 895 00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:18.039 Chief green Leaf, and basically green Leaf tells him about 896 00:48:18.039 --> 00:48:21.400 the Snake Brothers and they are an ancient So I've 897 00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:22.880 heard two different stories. 898 00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:24.280 I've read a little bit. 899 00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:26.440 The next article that we get into is going to 900 00:48:26.519 --> 00:48:28.880 break down more of this and stuff. But everyone kind 901 00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:32.119 of has a version of what was said at this 902 00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:33.880 meeting basically. 903 00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:35.840 And the snake Brothers. 904 00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:39.400 So one theory, one story I've heard is that there 905 00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:42.639 were actually humans at one point five thousand years ago 906 00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:48.480 that went into these tunnels, these underground systems, and they 907 00:48:48.480 --> 00:48:51.440 basically took all of their shit with them, and they 908 00:48:51.480 --> 00:48:56.119 also decided to write all of their knowledge of what 909 00:48:56.239 --> 00:48:59.119 humanity is, how humans became, and all this stuff on 910 00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:02.519 these giant old tablets that happened to be down. 911 00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:06.840 The old tablets enter the Mormons. I'm joking, continuing, No, they. 912 00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:11.079 They have this knowledge down there, So that's that's a 913 00:49:11.119 --> 00:49:15.000 thing that's going on, and they basically are trying to 914 00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:18.880 escape this massive catastrophic event that's gonna happen, and so 915 00:49:18.880 --> 00:49:21.760 they steal themselves in that's one theory. Another theory is 916 00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:25.800 that are already sneak brothers. They are lizard people that 917 00:49:25.840 --> 00:49:29.400 they that he Greenleaf, Chief Greenleaf described to him and 918 00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:33.599 basically the same situation though they just they What's interesting though, 919 00:49:33.800 --> 00:49:35.840 is that a lot of people say that the story 920 00:49:35.920 --> 00:49:38.920 goes that they melted through rock to carve out the 921 00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:44.880 subterranean giant labyrinth underneath to basically seek refuge from this 922 00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:48.679 catastrophic event, and they close themselves off underneath there. According 923 00:49:48.679 --> 00:49:52.800 to legend, you know, they had all of their origin 924 00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:57.679 stories of humans and themselves and everything else. Also, two 925 00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:02.320 other cities were built created by these lizard people, one 926 00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:05.400 of which we know is underneath Mount Shasta, which is 927 00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:08.519 another hub for lots of interesting things, and the other 928 00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:09.639 one is still unknown. 929 00:50:11.159 --> 00:50:14.280 Apparently there was thousands of families down there, not. 930 00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:17.199 Just like a few people. It was like thousands of families. 931 00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:20.840 Is what the is the way that the story actually goes. 932 00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:22.880 And so for those of you wondering, like, okay, why 933 00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:25.119 do these tunnels have to do with this, maybe this 934 00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:27.840 is just like the Metro. The Metro wasn't made for 935 00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:31.800 another fifty seven years prior to this whole conversation. So 936 00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:35.800 old Boy and his partner go actually to the city council. 937 00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:37.719 He talked to the Hope people. 938 00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:40.159 He has all of his records, he draws this map 939 00:50:40.159 --> 00:50:41.519 and all this stuff, and he goes to them and 940 00:50:41.559 --> 00:50:44.719 he goes, Okay, so here's my petition. 941 00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:48.320 I want to go up there and I want to 942 00:50:48.400 --> 00:50:49.519 drill into. 943 00:50:49.159 --> 00:50:52.920 The side of this face of the hill, and I 944 00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:55.440 want to drill down three hundred feet and I will 945 00:50:55.480 --> 00:50:57.239 tell you, when we get to the three hundred feet 946 00:50:57.559 --> 00:51:00.360 is gonna be the precise place of where it opens 947 00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:02.679 up into this massive tunnel system. 948 00:51:03.039 --> 00:51:05.960 And like, shit is going to be down there. And 949 00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:09.880 the city council was like, you know what, we actually 950 00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:12.880 believe you. We are going to actually agree to this. 951 00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:17.039 We're going to fund it and give you the resources 952 00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:21.800 to go dig on this hill. And so they decide 953 00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:25.360 to start this whole situation. So there they are, they're 954 00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:29.199 drilling down all this stuff. They get to past two 955 00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:34.039 hundred feet, and this is where he starts taking more readings, 956 00:51:34.360 --> 00:51:38.440 and he realizes that the voids are massive rooms that 957 00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:43.320 he is seeing technically down there past the two hundred feet, 958 00:51:43.559 --> 00:51:46.960 which confirmed though, so there's big openings already at the 959 00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:50.840 two hundred feet mark, which technically confirms what he was 960 00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:54.440 saying was that his machine was actually working, that it 961 00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:57.400 did show voids and tunnels and such. 962 00:51:57.960 --> 00:51:59.480 So as they were getting. 963 00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:02.800 Closer to getting down to the three hundred mark, suddenly though, 964 00:52:03.199 --> 00:52:07.039 it starts to fill in with mud and water abruptly, okay, 965 00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:11.480 and they decide that, well, you know Caven's is the 966 00:52:11.519 --> 00:52:14.199 real thing. I guess we're just gonna pull out. What 967 00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:16.280 the weird part about this whole thing is is this 968 00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:21.360 man was like staking his entire professional reputation on this dick. 969 00:52:21.880 --> 00:52:28.000 Like everything he's ever decided, taught, said, whatever, this is 970 00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:30.400 all coming down to this dick. He was a man 971 00:52:30.519 --> 00:52:34.480 that was like obsessed with this mission. Basically sure if 972 00:52:34.519 --> 00:52:37.760 he could just reached the three hundred mark. What's crazy, though, 973 00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:41.320 is that the official records say that they abruptly stopped 974 00:52:41.840 --> 00:52:46.800 and never touched it again. He literally stopped completely that day, 975 00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:52.559 walked away without saying anything, without fighting, without going back 976 00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:54.639 and trying to redo this again, without coming at it 977 00:52:54.639 --> 00:52:58.480 from a different angle, without doing anything at all to 978 00:52:58.639 --> 00:53:02.480 try and prove what his entire reputation is staked on. 979 00:53:03.079 --> 00:53:08.039 He literally walks away. Then he completely withdraws from society 980 00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:11.679 like one hundred percent, doesn't do any more interviews, doesn't 981 00:53:11.719 --> 00:53:16.159 talk to anybody, doesn't say another single word about this, 982 00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:19.639 and he dies in nineteen fifty seven with never talking 983 00:53:19.639 --> 00:53:24.599 about it again with anyone. The shaft itself was never finished, 984 00:53:24.639 --> 00:53:27.360 and the city acted like it never happened. They completely 985 00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:30.159 went about building on top of it, building around it, 986 00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:33.039 doing whatever, and just acting like it never happened. No 987 00:53:33.079 --> 00:53:38.639 one ever actually did anything with the shaft. Again, here's 988 00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:43.159 where the story gets even crazier though. So there's three 989 00:53:43.199 --> 00:53:46.280 parts to this. The first part comes with the conversation 990 00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:50.079 of the iron door. So the iron door is one 991 00:53:50.079 --> 00:53:53.920 of the biggest rumors there is rumors, stories, myth legend, 992 00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:54.920 whatever you want to think. 993 00:53:55.039 --> 00:53:56.480 Let me have an article pulled up on that when 994 00:53:56.480 --> 00:53:57.800 we're going to read a minute. 995 00:53:58.280 --> 00:54:02.519 So the iron door itself, by all accounts, is a 996 00:54:02.599 --> 00:54:05.840 door that is situated up there at the. 997 00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:09.039 Fort Fort Hill. I think it's like Fort Moorehill, I 998 00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:09.880 think it's called. 999 00:54:11.199 --> 00:54:14.599 And basically it's fitted flush to the stone. It's not visible, 1000 00:54:14.639 --> 00:54:15.880 there's no visible way. 1001 00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:16.360 Of opening it. 1002 00:54:16.639 --> 00:54:20.039 This is my eyewitness accounts that have talked about this. 1003 00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:24.000 So all of them though, so everybody can't. All the 1004 00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:27.480 people that have seen this apparent door cannot agree on 1005 00:54:27.559 --> 00:54:28.840 the exact location. 1006 00:54:29.039 --> 00:54:32.639 This is important though, to remember. But every one of them. 1007 00:54:32.960 --> 00:54:36.039 Remember, everyone agrees that it's warm to the touch, without 1008 00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:38.159 ever talking to each other or anything like this. Every 1009 00:54:38.199 --> 00:54:41.320 single person says that it's unusually warm to the touch, 1010 00:54:41.679 --> 00:54:44.679 and that all the air around. It just feels completely wrong. 1011 00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:49.599 No one knows who's made it, there's no record of it. Okay, cool, 1012 00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:54.679 you know whatever. So in nineteen thirty four, while old 1013 00:54:54.719 --> 00:54:57.119 boy Warren is getting all this shit together to go 1014 00:54:57.199 --> 00:55:00.360 up there and drill, four men, hear about what he's 1015 00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:04.239 gonna do, and actually it's five men. Four men decide 1016 00:55:04.239 --> 00:55:05.880 that they're going to go and they're going to go 1017 00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:08.320 up there with picks and some dynamite and they're going 1018 00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:10.320 to go to the location in which he's been talking 1019 00:55:10.320 --> 00:55:12.760 about to everybody, and they're gonna go down there. They're 1020 00:55:12.760 --> 00:55:16.079 gonna find that treasure of them damn self. So all 1021 00:55:16.159 --> 00:55:19.079 five men hike up there, you know, they decide we're 1022 00:55:19.079 --> 00:55:22.880 going to do this. Sure, four men go in, never 1023 00:55:22.960 --> 00:55:26.280 come back out. The fifth man that stayed outside was 1024 00:55:26.320 --> 00:55:28.719 like making sure the ropes were good, making sure he 1025 00:55:28.840 --> 00:55:31.360 was listening for him. Waited and waited and waited, and 1026 00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:34.440 it's like something really bad has happened to them, right. 1027 00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:38.119 He runs back downtown and it's like, look, will anybody 1028 00:55:38.119 --> 00:55:38.840 come help. 1029 00:55:38.679 --> 00:55:41.280 Me search for these guys. So the search party comes 1030 00:55:41.320 --> 00:55:44.239 the next day. He takes them to the exact spot 1031 00:55:44.320 --> 00:55:47.719 the door is. The door is gone, it's completely gone. 1032 00:55:47.840 --> 00:55:51.039 Yeah, but the rock face itself is very, very hot 1033 00:55:51.079 --> 00:55:54.199 to the touch, and again it seems like the error 1034 00:55:54.199 --> 00:55:58.639 is completely different around it. Everyone couldn't figure out what happened. 1035 00:55:58.719 --> 00:56:00.920 They called him a liar, and he's like, we literally 1036 00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:04.599 were right here. I left last night. They were here. 1037 00:56:05.480 --> 00:56:08.760 Can you help me? Where have they gone? Nobody went 1038 00:56:08.800 --> 00:56:11.039 and searched for them. Ever, again, no one talked about them. 1039 00:56:11.039 --> 00:56:13.440 I couldn't find an actual news article on this. I 1040 00:56:13.480 --> 00:56:15.800 don't know if this is just one of those old folks, 1041 00:56:15.880 --> 00:56:19.920 you know, telling a story or whatnot. But on the 1042 00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:23.679 other hand, we actually have documented proof of a good 1043 00:56:23.719 --> 00:56:27.559 old girl in nineteen thirty four that was by them, 1044 00:56:27.920 --> 00:56:32.880 that Edith Robinson lived in Pica Rivera and wrote a 1045 00:56:32.960 --> 00:56:39.559 letter to a psychological research magazine in September of nineteen 1046 00:56:39.599 --> 00:56:42.840 thirty four, which is around the time of when Warren's. 1047 00:56:42.360 --> 00:56:43.920 Stuff completely failed as well. 1048 00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:47.960 She stated in the letter that there was a vast 1049 00:56:48.400 --> 00:56:51.880 ancient city below the ground with amazing art and architecture 1050 00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:55.360 that happens, and that the tunnels running through went all 1051 00:56:55.400 --> 00:56:59.320 the way to the sea. Two strangers never have met. 1052 00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:03.079 Well could have read one of these stories, sure, But 1053 00:57:03.239 --> 00:57:07.639 she wrote in detail about this city and how it was, 1054 00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:10.920 and that these ancient people were down there that didn't 1055 00:57:10.960 --> 00:57:13.519 seem appear to be human, that had a lot of 1056 00:57:13.599 --> 00:57:16.880 technical advancements that had been hidden under there for a 1057 00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:20.119 long time, and that these tunnels ran all over La 1058 00:57:20.599 --> 00:57:23.199 ran all over to the sea themselves, ran all the 1059 00:57:23.199 --> 00:57:25.480 way out to the sea, and that's how they were 1060 00:57:25.599 --> 00:57:27.960 able to move continuously without any. 1061 00:57:27.800 --> 00:57:28.440 Of us knowing. 1062 00:57:29.320 --> 00:57:32.719 Wow, So we have three different incidents that all surround 1063 00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:37.920 this situation with potential lizard people. And that's kind of 1064 00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:40.159 where we're at when we jump into this article. Is 1065 00:57:40.360 --> 00:57:44.480 all of this information about different stories of what potentially 1066 00:57:44.519 --> 00:57:45.599 could be the lizard people. 1067 00:57:46.119 --> 00:57:48.880 Okay, I mean, that's a lot to kind of process here, 1068 00:57:48.920 --> 00:57:52.119 but okay, let's dive in here. So let's talk about 1069 00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:57.039 the lizard people of Los Angeles, real or fantasy. When 1070 00:57:57.079 --> 00:57:59.480 residents of Los Angeles opened the front page of the 1071 00:57:59.599 --> 00:58:02.440 LA Time on the morning of January twenty ninth, nineteen 1072 00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:05.199 thirty four, which we pulled up that article a moment ago, 1073 00:58:05.760 --> 00:58:07.760 some of them might have spilled their coffee out of 1074 00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:11.079 shock at seeing the headlines. It was strange and exciting, 1075 00:58:11.079 --> 00:58:15.360 but there was also an error it read Lizard People's 1076 00:58:15.480 --> 00:58:19.760 catacomb city hunted. Legends about the lizard people had always 1077 00:58:19.800 --> 00:58:22.440 been around, but it must have been the first time 1078 00:58:22.559 --> 00:58:27.599 print media featured a story about them. Jean Biquette Bosquett 1079 00:58:27.599 --> 00:58:29.960 excuse me, an LA Times reporter wrote the story on 1080 00:58:30.039 --> 00:58:33.679 the claims of g. Warren Schufeldt, a mining engineer. According 1081 00:58:33.679 --> 00:58:37.000 to Schuefeldt, he had created a machine radio X ray 1082 00:58:38.519 --> 00:58:41.519 that's a wild concept to throw together, but okay, and 1083 00:58:41.599 --> 00:58:45.400 mapped the area, which displayed amazing things. Schuefeldt said the 1084 00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:49.320 X ray showed a massive network of tunnels beneath Los Angeles, 1085 00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:52.360 covering a vast area. Supposedly, these tunnels weren't built by 1086 00:58:52.360 --> 00:58:55.599 our ancestors, but by another race called the lizard people. 1087 00:58:55.920 --> 00:58:59.400 He also said that several locations in the tunnels contained treasure. 1088 00:59:00.119 --> 00:59:03.440 The newspaper report that aroused curiosity. So did lizard people 1089 00:59:03.519 --> 00:59:07.679 exist and inhabit the underground of modern LA or were 1090 00:59:07.760 --> 00:59:10.800 they just rumors or folk tales of the past. We 1091 00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:14.599 may never know, but it's an exciting theory many people believe, 1092 00:59:14.760 --> 00:59:17.880 like shoe Felt believed it. There. Here is a quote 1093 00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:22.159 from Jean Baquette's story dated January twenty ninth, nineteen thirty four, 1094 00:59:22.280 --> 00:59:25.239 which actually already read that, So yeah, medicine Lodge of 1095 00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:27.679 the American Indians. So yeah, we talked about that. The 1096 00:59:27.760 --> 00:59:30.719 reporter must have been over excited because he hardly takes 1097 00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:34.159 a breath to give the reader this exciting, weird information. 1098 00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:37.039 The article continues by noting that sue Felt and his 1099 00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:40.880 assistant truly believed there were tunnels and treasures under Los Angeles, 1100 00:59:41.239 --> 00:59:44.079 so they had already started digging and inserted a shaft 1101 00:59:44.079 --> 00:59:47.199 two hundred and fifty feet inside the earth. The shaft 1102 00:59:47.440 --> 00:59:51.360 entrance was on North Hill Street. Shue Felt trusted his 1103 00:59:51.480 --> 00:59:55.400 device entirely and therefore wanted to continue inserting the shaft 1104 00:59:55.679 --> 00:59:58.920 below until it reached one thousand feet. He and his 1105 00:59:59.039 --> 01:00:01.920 aides planned a star after that. If the venture yielded 1106 01:00:01.960 --> 01:00:05.800 no positive results. The dig did not produce the desired outcome, 1107 01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:10.239 so Schoefeld and his aides abandoned the project by December 1108 01:00:10.320 --> 01:00:13.280 of that year. Along with the story, the newspaper also 1109 01:00:13.360 --> 01:00:16.239 printed a map created by Schoefelt based on his findings 1110 01:00:16.239 --> 01:00:19.440 from the X ray machine. Readers can understand the tunnel's 1111 01:00:19.440 --> 01:00:22.360 structure by looking at an image on page five of 1112 01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:26.039 the paper. The image showed an artist imagination of lizard 1113 01:00:26.039 --> 01:00:29.199 people working in the top right corner. On the left 1114 01:00:29.199 --> 01:00:31.719 hand side, it showed Schuefeldt and his assistant at the 1115 01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:34.719 entrance of the shaft, and below the engineer working with 1116 01:00:34.840 --> 01:00:37.719 his device. The series of tunnels occupied the center of 1117 01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:40.119 the image or map, either way you won't call it. 1118 01:00:40.760 --> 01:00:43.920 The tunnels were basically under the areas of Fort Moore Place, 1119 01:00:44.320 --> 01:00:47.840 North Broadway and North Hill Street. The article indicated that 1120 01:00:47.880 --> 01:00:50.639 Schuefelt and his aide believed that the lizard people had 1121 01:00:50.679 --> 01:00:55.320 a quote unquote key room located under Broadway and Second Street. 1122 01:00:55.760 --> 01:00:58.320 The key room was supposedly a place where the ancient 1123 01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:01.599 race made plans and stored all their treasures, as well 1124 01:01:01.639 --> 01:01:05.840 as important information written on gold tablets. Investigated by the 1125 01:01:05.880 --> 01:01:09.840 Times Reporter into people's hunt for treasure indicated that some 1126 01:01:10.079 --> 01:01:13.280 enthusiast dug but didn't find any significant amount of goal. 1127 01:01:13.639 --> 01:01:16.480 The reporter also discovered that the Times report from around 1128 01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:21.239 May nineteen thirty four said an old time prospector requested 1129 01:01:21.239 --> 01:01:24.639 permission to dig on the hill, but the authorities denied it. 1130 01:01:24.639 --> 01:01:27.119 It was because the country, or excuse me, it was 1131 01:01:27.119 --> 01:01:29.760 because the county made a deal with Schoefelt and his 1132 01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:35.760 assistant to split fifty to fifty any profits from the dig. Wow. Okay, 1133 01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:40.920 fair enough, So lizard people factor fantasy? What made g. 1134 01:01:41.119 --> 01:01:44.280 Warren Schuefelt so convinced that lizard people really existed in 1135 01:01:44.280 --> 01:01:46.239 the past and that they left behind a vast series 1136 01:01:46.280 --> 01:01:50.239 of tunnels and gold underneath La. After Shufeldt's machine showed 1137 01:01:50.320 --> 01:01:54.440 results that he believed indicated an extensive tunnel system, he 1138 01:01:54.559 --> 01:01:57.960 met a hoping Native American in Arizona who told him 1139 01:01:57.960 --> 01:02:01.079 the legend of the lizard people. According to the story 1140 01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:04.320 in the La Times, the Hope's chief told Schufelt that 1141 01:02:04.360 --> 01:02:08.280 around five thousand years ago, a massive inferno burned down 1142 01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:11.480 the entire area of present day La. The inferno is 1143 01:02:11.480 --> 01:02:15.159 said to have been caused by a meteorite. Therefore, the 1144 01:02:15.159 --> 01:02:18.119 lizard people built at least three cities beneath the spot 1145 01:02:18.119 --> 01:02:21.400 where La stands today. Is believed that the tunnel system 1146 01:02:21.480 --> 01:02:25.000 is so vast that it reaches up to the sea coast. Okay, 1147 01:02:25.000 --> 01:02:28.360 real quick, before we continue ravenly, I'm just curious here. 1148 01:02:29.519 --> 01:02:33.239 Do you think that this could be aliens or do 1149 01:02:33.280 --> 01:02:35.400 you think that the lizard people were here before the 1150 01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:39.719 meteorite hit. Was the meteorite their spaceship and the hope 1151 01:02:39.719 --> 01:02:42.800 Indians didn't know the difference between a spaceship versus meteor 1152 01:02:42.840 --> 01:02:44.280 so they just saw it as one and the same. 1153 01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:48.119 What is your take, Well, I mean, I think that 1154 01:02:48.159 --> 01:02:51.239 if we were going to speculate that if the lizard 1155 01:02:51.280 --> 01:02:54.000 people are real and stuff like this, that they would 1156 01:02:54.039 --> 01:02:57.760 have to have been here before the fire itself, because 1157 01:02:57.760 --> 01:03:00.800 they would have had to create a system of networks 1158 01:03:00.840 --> 01:03:03.559 to be able to even get down there before the 1159 01:03:03.599 --> 01:03:06.199 scene happened. But like, would they have known, would they 1160 01:03:06.199 --> 01:03:08.519 have already been living there? That's how they were able 1161 01:03:08.559 --> 01:03:09.360 to escape it? 1162 01:03:10.119 --> 01:03:12.639 You know, it would be one of those things like 1163 01:03:12.760 --> 01:03:15.760 is it aliens? I'm not sure? Is it just a 1164 01:03:15.880 --> 01:03:17.119 random tale? 1165 01:03:17.599 --> 01:03:20.960 You know, It's it's interesting though that multiple people. 1166 01:03:21.119 --> 01:03:23.639 And then of course we have modern day theories of 1167 01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:24.400 lizard people. 1168 01:03:24.400 --> 01:03:27.320 We've seen a lot of yeah, the reptilians, We've seen 1169 01:03:27.360 --> 01:03:30.760 a bunch of videos of people you know, in government 1170 01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:32.840 and all the weird eyes in Hollywood and all that 1171 01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:36.559 shit where they look like they are not human. I 1172 01:03:36.639 --> 01:03:39.360 would wager that like there at least has to be 1173 01:03:39.400 --> 01:03:42.760 some kernel of truth in this story that has lasted 1174 01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:46.199 for as long as it has, especially with the multiple 1175 01:03:46.320 --> 01:03:50.320 stories and theories and things being written by complete strangers, 1176 01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:54.239 all during the same time stating very similar things from 1177 01:03:54.519 --> 01:03:58.679 their own experiences. This iron door situation is weird. I'm 1178 01:03:58.679 --> 01:03:59.920 not gonna lie to you, so. 1179 01:04:00.039 --> 01:04:01.840 Which, Yeah, we're gonna get to that one next. But 1180 01:04:01.960 --> 01:04:05.280 like I could see both possibly right, Like to say, 1181 01:04:05.320 --> 01:04:08.079 the lizard people were here for thousands of years and 1182 01:04:08.639 --> 01:04:12.159 they had already built this tunnel system. The meteorite hits 1183 01:04:12.239 --> 01:04:15.639 and destroys their civilization above land, but they still survived 1184 01:04:15.719 --> 01:04:19.000 under ground. Maybe because they were so technologically advanced, they 1185 01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:21.599 knew the metea rite was coming and rather than like 1186 01:04:21.800 --> 01:04:24.719 leaving the city to not get hit, they just burrowed. 1187 01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:28.639 I don't know. I could also envision the same thing 1188 01:04:28.679 --> 01:04:33.199 as like, you know, they called the train the steel 1189 01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:36.679 horse for a good long while the Native American tribes did, right. 1190 01:04:37.119 --> 01:04:40.079 I could also see them calling a spaceship a meteorite, 1191 01:04:40.480 --> 01:04:46.320 and that these reptilian aliens aka lizard people decided to 1192 01:04:46.519 --> 01:04:49.239 set up shop on Earth and start to dig tunnels 1193 01:04:49.320 --> 01:04:51.559 under the ground because they can't live on the surface. 1194 01:04:51.599 --> 01:04:53.239 I could see both being very viable. 1195 01:04:53.559 --> 01:04:55.800 I could see both too. I mean, there's way too 1196 01:04:55.800 --> 01:04:56.760 many things. 1197 01:04:56.599 --> 01:04:59.880 About all around the world that are dug deep in 1198 01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:02.119 to the ground. I mean, twenty thousand people were living 1199 01:05:02.159 --> 01:05:06.440 in a giant, like five story underground city that they built, 1200 01:05:06.519 --> 01:05:10.039 and so, like you know, people, there's underground cities, that 1201 01:05:10.079 --> 01:05:13.159 there's underground bunkers that have been around forever, that entire 1202 01:05:13.760 --> 01:05:17.960 entire towns have hid for the sake of hiding. 1203 01:05:18.079 --> 01:05:20.159 So, like, you know, it. 1204 01:05:20.159 --> 01:05:22.599 Very well could be, like your theory makes a lot 1205 01:05:22.639 --> 01:05:24.760 of sense too, that they could have They could have 1206 01:05:24.800 --> 01:05:28.000 been the Metia rights quote and then they got here 1207 01:05:28.039 --> 01:05:29.280 and decided to set up shop. 1208 01:05:29.360 --> 01:05:32.199 I mean, I think it's a really interesting thing. 1209 01:05:32.320 --> 01:05:37.000 So this is so this conversation is what nowadays conspiracy 1210 01:05:37.039 --> 01:05:41.760 theorists based their Lizard People conversation off of. Like this 1211 01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:45.960 was the original og Lizard People conversation because it was 1212 01:05:46.000 --> 01:05:49.800 featured and they gave grants to this crazy person quote 1213 01:05:49.840 --> 01:05:51.559 unquote if we really want to look at it, this 1214 01:05:51.719 --> 01:05:54.559 crazy person is talking about, Hey, so I think there's 1215 01:05:54.639 --> 01:05:57.559 like lizard people down there, like snake people down there 1216 01:05:57.599 --> 01:06:00.719 with a whole bunch of treasure and shit. Can I 1217 01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:03.079 use city property and go down and fuck this shit 1218 01:06:03.159 --> 01:06:04.119 up and Leo see and. 1219 01:06:05.199 --> 01:06:07.480 Really, oh sure, let me write you a check real quick. 1220 01:06:07.679 --> 01:06:10.679 Yea, let me let me just write you this endless 1221 01:06:10.719 --> 01:06:13.400 amount of check. And like it wasn't was crazy as 1222 01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:17.079 that he had volunteers from like tons of people around 1223 01:06:17.719 --> 01:06:22.440 helping him out too, Like people were really invested in 1224 01:06:22.559 --> 01:06:26.599 what was happening and then abruptly suddenly would just stop. 1225 01:06:27.199 --> 01:06:29.719 Okay, so let's dig even deeper here. It says the 1226 01:06:29.800 --> 01:06:32.920 term lizard people bestowed on the ancient race isn't because 1227 01:06:32.920 --> 01:06:36.920 they were reptilian in nature, as some conspiracy theorist suggests today, 1228 01:06:37.239 --> 01:06:39.239 or the kind shown in movies. Okay, first of all, 1229 01:06:39.320 --> 01:06:42.079 article feeling a little personally attacked. I'm just asking the 1230 01:06:42.119 --> 01:06:46.239 questions here. Dog anyway, bleaterly said Snake brothers. Yeah, just saying. Instead, 1231 01:06:46.239 --> 01:06:49.760 they considered the lizard a vital being, as it symbolized 1232 01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:53.039 long life. This race built the underground cities in the 1233 01:06:53.119 --> 01:06:56.679 shape of a lizard. According to Chofeld's narrative, one of 1234 01:06:56.719 --> 01:06:59.639 the cities shaped like a lizard below La had its 1235 01:06:59.719 --> 01:07:04.480 head under Dodger Stadium. The site beneath Downtown Central Library 1236 01:07:04.639 --> 01:07:08.800 was the Tales location, WHOA. The curiosity regarding the lizard 1237 01:07:08.840 --> 01:07:11.760 people increased even more when the quote Journal of the 1238 01:07:11.840 --> 01:07:18.159 American Society for Psychological or Psychic Psychical Research. Yeah, yeah, 1239 01:07:18.159 --> 01:07:18.880 I thought. 1240 01:07:18.679 --> 01:07:20.440 It was psychological, but yep, nope, you're right. 1241 01:07:20.519 --> 01:07:22.960 So we're talking about psychics here consorting with mediums on 1242 01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:23.480 this one now. 1243 01:07:23.679 --> 01:07:25.599 So that's where that lady's message went to. 1244 01:07:25.800 --> 01:07:27.800 It had to be a lady from that absolutely received 1245 01:07:27.800 --> 01:07:30.320 a letter from a woman on September twenty sixth, nineteen 1246 01:07:30.360 --> 01:07:34.000 thirty four, who made some weird and shocking claims. The 1247 01:07:34.079 --> 01:07:36.280 woman mentioned in the letter that she had a vision 1248 01:07:36.320 --> 01:07:40.079 one evening on December twenty second, nineteen thirty three, while 1249 01:07:40.239 --> 01:07:43.519 with some friends. According to reports, her friends also confirmed 1250 01:07:43.519 --> 01:07:48.159 the lady's clairvoyant moment. She describes seeing two civilizations at 1251 01:07:48.159 --> 01:07:52.559 different times. In her vision, one was more recent. One 1252 01:07:52.679 --> 01:07:55.559 was a more recent one rather that had excellent, excelled 1253 01:07:55.639 --> 01:07:58.840 in art and architecture, and surpassed whatever is present today. 1254 01:07:59.440 --> 01:08:02.480 The other vision was of an older civilization with underground 1255 01:08:02.480 --> 01:08:06.800 cities and giant tunnels, some extending to the oceans. She 1256 01:08:06.920 --> 01:08:09.840 thought that this older civilization had built underground tunnels to 1257 01:08:09.960 --> 01:08:14.280 deter attacks from others. And safeguarded society. Her friends said 1258 01:08:14.320 --> 01:08:18.479 that miss Edith, that's the clairvoyant had the vision before 1259 01:08:18.520 --> 01:08:22.199 the local media mentioned the lizard people. Whoa So now 1260 01:08:22.199 --> 01:08:25.239 we have an alternate theory. Okay, let's hear what the 1261 01:08:25.359 --> 01:08:29.079 naysayers are gonna say. While many people got curious about 1262 01:08:29.079 --> 01:08:32.520 the lizard people, the tunnels, the buried treasure, others had 1263 01:08:32.520 --> 01:08:35.640 different views reguarding the story. In the La Times, several 1264 01:08:35.680 --> 01:08:39.279 individuals had said that the mining engineer's quote unquote discovery 1265 01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:42.039 was nothing more than an attempt to gain attention, and 1266 01:08:42.039 --> 01:08:45.239 that his claims were tall tales. The report said that 1267 01:08:45.319 --> 01:08:47.920 g Warren Schufeldt spread the rumors so he could dig 1268 01:08:47.960 --> 01:08:50.760 for the so called treasure. The theory emerged after it 1269 01:08:50.840 --> 01:08:54.159 was compared with another rumor suggesting that Protestant graveyards in 1270 01:08:54.199 --> 01:08:58.720 the nineteen thirties hailed significant treasures. I don't know why 1271 01:08:58.760 --> 01:09:01.479 the Protestants would have treasures in their graves, but all right, 1272 01:09:02.520 --> 01:09:04.279 as a Protestant, I don't want to be buried with 1273 01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:06.119 nothing fancy. Fuck. I don't want to be buried, don't 1274 01:09:06.119 --> 01:09:09.239 want to be burned. But okay, it was kind of 1275 01:09:09.279 --> 01:09:12.960 a get rich quick scheme. Quote unquote with great promises 1276 01:09:13.000 --> 01:09:16.199 but which delivered nothing. It seemed that the big that 1277 01:09:16.479 --> 01:09:19.680 because the digs and hunts didn't yield anything that show 1278 01:09:19.720 --> 01:09:22.600 Felt initially claimed. So now we get to the urban 1279 01:09:22.680 --> 01:09:25.640 legend of the conversation. Whether it was a hoax or not, 1280 01:09:25.760 --> 01:09:28.479 show Felt story about the network of underground tunnels and 1281 01:09:28.520 --> 01:09:32.000 the lizard people has become an urban legend. Locals and 1282 01:09:32.079 --> 01:09:35.359 visitors are still curious. And indeed, Shoefell's machine was right 1283 01:09:35.399 --> 01:09:41.079 about one thing. There are tunnels beneath LA. Rumors abound 1284 01:09:41.159 --> 01:09:43.960 that people use these tunnels to transport alcohol during the 1285 01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:48.159 prohibition area. These tunnels are enormous, with some areas featuring 1286 01:09:48.560 --> 01:09:52.920 huge hall like spaces, but they are considered natural formations 1287 01:09:53.000 --> 01:09:58.399 rather than artificial I'm sorry there, what the eleven miles 1288 01:09:58.439 --> 01:10:00.800 of tunnels that were dug by the businessmen and the 1289 01:10:00.840 --> 01:10:06.359 bankers and all this, those are considered natural formations? What that? 1290 01:10:06.960 --> 01:10:07.520 Okay? 1291 01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:09.760 The official narrative just because. 1292 01:10:09.279 --> 01:10:12.600 There's a lot of there's a lot of gas pockets 1293 01:10:12.640 --> 01:10:15.800 as well underneath LA and stuff, which are the natural 1294 01:10:15.960 --> 01:10:20.039 forming tunnels and things like that. But I don't really 1295 01:10:20.079 --> 01:10:26.119 see how giant haull like spaces like, obviously, if they're 1296 01:10:26.239 --> 01:10:28.840 giant cavern, sure, but you're talking about things that people 1297 01:10:28.840 --> 01:10:32.960 are utilizing and that pretty much did by there by hand. 1298 01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:37.119 But like, okay, no, that's that's fucking asinine. Though the 1299 01:10:37.159 --> 01:10:41.119 story says the lizard people were superior humans who revered lizards, 1300 01:10:41.600 --> 01:10:44.560 another theory holds that they were not. According to this theory, 1301 01:10:44.640 --> 01:10:47.720 they are called lizard people because they're reptilians who can 1302 01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:51.079 shift shape at will. Now we're getting into our territory. 1303 01:10:51.520 --> 01:10:54.640 The assumption is that the race has a serpent slash 1304 01:10:54.720 --> 01:10:59.199 lizard head and a human body has already infiltrated humankind 1305 01:10:59.399 --> 01:11:01.479 and it's taken the world. But that's a story for 1306 01:11:01.520 --> 01:11:03.800 another time. No, it's not, well, it's not a story 1307 01:11:03.800 --> 01:11:07.319 for right now. For real, we've all seen the clips 1308 01:11:07.640 --> 01:11:10.159 of the news anchors whose eyes blank sideways are like 1309 01:11:10.159 --> 01:11:10.800 little pincers. 1310 01:11:12.319 --> 01:11:13.920 Kill all of them, all of. 1311 01:11:13.760 --> 01:11:17.520 Them just saying when they feed off of adrenochrome. Clearly 1312 01:11:18.199 --> 01:11:20.880 obviously and actually, as it sounds like I'm saying that 1313 01:11:20.920 --> 01:11:23.640 in a joking manner, adrenochrome is real and the extraction 1314 01:11:23.720 --> 01:11:25.760 of it is horrible, and I don't want to, like, 1315 01:11:26.039 --> 01:11:27.760 I don't want to make light of that one. But yeah, no, 1316 01:11:27.920 --> 01:11:30.560 the lizard people taking over the world for sure. Though 1317 01:11:30.560 --> 01:11:34.000 the project was discontinued, Chofelt disappeared from public view and 1318 01:11:34.039 --> 01:11:37.640 the story stopped in the papers, people's imaginations didn't. If 1319 01:11:37.680 --> 01:11:40.760 anyone asks a resident about the lizard people, they're here 1320 01:11:40.920 --> 01:11:45.079 the most amazing stories, rumor hoax, legend, or whatever people 1321 01:11:45.079 --> 01:11:47.880 call it, there is something to ponder. Most legends have 1322 01:11:47.960 --> 01:11:51.079 some truth to them, so who knows. Maybe there existed 1323 01:11:51.159 --> 01:11:54.880 a race of super superiors to modern humans that built 1324 01:11:54.960 --> 01:11:58.600 underground tunnels and cities. While there isn't any evidence yet, 1325 01:11:59.079 --> 01:12:03.159 experts may they developed highly sophisticated devices that can, you know, 1326 01:12:03.319 --> 01:12:06.239 capture images hundreds of thousands of feet beneath the ground. 1327 01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:09.239 Only then will the answers be found and everyone will 1328 01:12:09.279 --> 01:12:13.640 know whether they are indeed the famous tunnels and treasure trove. 1329 01:12:14.159 --> 01:12:17.760 Until then, enthusiasts can read stories, ask old timers about it, 1330 01:12:17.800 --> 01:12:20.880 and examine the map on various platforms. They can form 1331 01:12:20.920 --> 01:12:24.479 their own opinions about the legendary superior humans because, whether 1332 01:12:24.560 --> 01:12:28.000 real or not, no law prohibits people from fantasizing about 1333 01:12:28.039 --> 01:12:32.920 anything absolutely and again, I mean, let's say it was 1334 01:12:32.960 --> 01:12:35.439 a hoax. Let's say that your boy was trying to 1335 01:12:35.439 --> 01:12:38.239 do something of a Ponzi scheme, like the guy did, right, 1336 01:12:38.319 --> 01:12:40.560 and he just wanted to get government grant money to 1337 01:12:40.600 --> 01:12:42.760 dig a big hole and then dip out, like he 1338 01:12:42.840 --> 01:12:46.199 quit the project in less than a year's time. So yeah, 1339 01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:51.239 maybe that's true. Because radio x ray that that machine itself. 1340 01:12:51.640 --> 01:12:53.439 I don't know how it works. This is the first 1341 01:12:53.439 --> 01:12:56.199 time ever heard of that. But like I mean, radio 1342 01:12:56.279 --> 01:12:59.560 waves x ray sends out waves. It's the same thing. 1343 01:12:59.600 --> 01:13:01.560 I could see possibly that this whole thing was a 1344 01:13:01.560 --> 01:13:03.079 hoax so you could make a quick buck and get 1345 01:13:03.119 --> 01:13:06.119 out of there. But for him to consult with the 1346 01:13:06.119 --> 01:13:08.960 Hopie and for them to say that these tunnels are 1347 01:13:09.479 --> 01:13:13.439 natural formations as a way to like dispel it, and 1348 01:13:13.479 --> 01:13:15.960 the fact that the government had signed a contract with 1349 01:13:16.039 --> 01:13:18.640 him to split the treasure fifty to fifty tells me 1350 01:13:18.680 --> 01:13:22.640 that he had to have either a he bankrolled a 1351 01:13:22.640 --> 01:13:26.399 certain politician to approve his permit, which could be or 1352 01:13:26.560 --> 01:13:29.840 b he had enough of a compelling argument to where 1353 01:13:29.880 --> 01:13:32.399 these people at least were curious enough. They may not 1354 01:13:32.439 --> 01:13:34.720 have believed him, but they were curious enough to give 1355 01:13:34.800 --> 01:13:37.920 him exclusive exclusive digging rights for a bid, and they 1356 01:13:37.920 --> 01:13:40.359 wouldn't have done that for just any old person with 1357 01:13:40.439 --> 01:13:41.520 a crazy story. 1358 01:13:43.039 --> 01:13:46.119 Yeah, I it's I don't think they would just give 1359 01:13:46.199 --> 01:13:49.399 that away, especially because somebody had already tried and it 1360 01:13:49.560 --> 01:13:53.840 was denied for it. So you know, it's it's one 1361 01:13:53.880 --> 01:13:56.399 of those things of like, Okay, so if people already 1362 01:13:56.399 --> 01:13:59.560 had tried to get permission to dig into this this 1363 01:13:59.600 --> 01:14:03.000 whole situation, and they pull them no, and then old 1364 01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:05.159 boy comes along and you know, if you look it up, 1365 01:14:05.239 --> 01:14:08.520 it says it's a fake treasure hunting gadget that was 1366 01:14:08.560 --> 01:14:11.399 like just a bullshit thing that was made and he 1367 01:14:11.560 --> 01:14:14.640 like claimed it was something and it was just handmade 1368 01:14:14.680 --> 01:14:15.520 tool basically. 1369 01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:18.359 M I could I get. But that's the thing. I 1370 01:14:18.359 --> 01:14:21.319 can see that being a possibility, honestly, especially with people 1371 01:14:21.359 --> 01:14:23.520 doing so much shit to make a quick buck in 1372 01:14:23.680 --> 01:14:29.520 LA I could see that. But is this is this 1373 01:14:29.600 --> 01:14:32.800 really where that entire urban myth started was one dude's 1374 01:14:32.880 --> 01:14:35.800 quote unquote hoax that is still being talked about to 1375 01:14:35.800 --> 01:14:38.520 this day. I find that a bit odd, especially for 1376 01:14:38.560 --> 01:14:40.279 it to run in the La Times. 1377 01:14:41.279 --> 01:14:43.359 You know, it's not like this was some It was 1378 01:14:43.439 --> 01:14:46.239 ran multiple times too, Like it was ran by multiple 1379 01:14:46.760 --> 01:14:48.880 different ways and different people. 1380 01:14:48.920 --> 01:14:50.439 And actually you can look. 1381 01:14:50.359 --> 01:14:55.039 Up his case his petition case as well, and you 1382 01:14:55.079 --> 01:14:57.079 can read at least some of it, which is I 1383 01:14:57.079 --> 01:14:59.039 find it interesting. I tried really hard to read the 1384 01:14:59.159 --> 01:15:02.880 entire thing. I could only read a small, like three 1385 01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:06.520 lines of it, yeah, which we all know is way larger. 1386 01:15:06.600 --> 01:15:07.800 So I don't know. 1387 01:15:08.640 --> 01:15:11.000 I don't know. I got a weird feeling that this 1388 01:15:11.159 --> 01:15:14.960 wasn't intended to be a hoax by any means. And 1389 01:15:15.000 --> 01:15:17.239 I mean, like you're saying, this wasn't like some tabloid, 1390 01:15:17.640 --> 01:15:20.680 This wasn't some little Nickelodeon rag that people were reading 1391 01:15:20.760 --> 01:15:22.439 for the thrill of it, because you know, there was 1392 01:15:22.880 --> 01:15:27.399 there was publications out there that were reading for entertainment sake. 1393 01:15:27.920 --> 01:15:31.319 The La Times was reading for the spread of information 1394 01:15:31.439 --> 01:15:34.000 to the people, and so were these other publications. So 1395 01:15:34.079 --> 01:15:36.359 I mean, I just I don't know, y'all. I don't know. 1396 01:15:36.800 --> 01:15:39.720 We'll see, let's continue with this conversation. So lost the 1397 01:15:39.720 --> 01:15:43.640 Golden Horde of LA's Lizard People. This is from so 1398 01:15:43.840 --> 01:15:48.640 CAL Focus from PBS Public Broadcasting. So a golden thread 1399 01:15:48.840 --> 01:15:52.600 runs through America's imagination, from her nand Cortes to Joseph 1400 01:15:52.600 --> 01:16:01.560 Smith tow from her nand Jortes to the founder of 1401 01:16:01.600 --> 01:16:05.439 the Mormon Church. That's funny, that's all right. We're making weird, 1402 01:16:05.960 --> 01:16:09.199 weird connections on this one. But all right, I'm sorry 1403 01:16:09.239 --> 01:16:13.479 for the laughing at the Mountain Jews, Uh Vernon Cortez, 1404 01:16:13.560 --> 01:16:16.880 Joseph Smith to George Warren Shufelt of Los Angeles and 1405 01:16:17.000 --> 01:16:21.039 our imagination fabulous wealth wise hidden by time or sorcery 1406 01:16:21.159 --> 01:16:24.960 under some hill somewhere left by Aztecs or men from 1407 01:16:25.079 --> 01:16:30.000 Moo yeah MoU aka Lumeria which anyway, and waiting for 1408 01:16:30.079 --> 01:16:32.920 a lucky someone to seize it. It even runs through 1409 01:16:32.920 --> 01:16:37.880 California's motto Eureka Greek four I have found it. Which 1410 01:16:37.960 --> 01:16:41.239 that's also kind of crazy that the story of how 1411 01:16:41.239 --> 01:16:44.760 Eureka became Associo of California. Do you know that story? 1412 01:16:45.760 --> 01:16:46.119 I did not. 1413 01:16:46.520 --> 01:16:48.680 Old boy the first one to find gold in a river. 1414 01:16:48.760 --> 01:16:50.760 He's out there doing some sort of work, you know, 1415 01:16:50.880 --> 01:16:54.439 frontiersman shit, he sees something shiny. He reaches down and 1416 01:16:54.479 --> 01:16:56.279 pulls out a nugget of gold the size of his 1417 01:16:56.319 --> 01:16:58.000 fists and goes Eureka. 1418 01:16:58.479 --> 01:16:58.600 Yo. 1419 01:16:58.720 --> 01:17:01.720 I'm sorry, your average front here's been doesn't know Greek 1420 01:17:02.079 --> 01:17:05.000 and wouldn't know that that is Greek for I have 1421 01:17:05.199 --> 01:17:08.399 found it. But that is just one of those stories 1422 01:17:08.960 --> 01:17:13.520 I know anyway, So let's continue here. So Glenn Creesen 1423 01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:17.680 of the Los Angeles Public Libraries map librarian reminded us 1424 01:17:17.760 --> 01:17:21.039 the other day of Schoefelt's eureka on Fort Moore Hill, 1425 01:17:21.239 --> 01:17:24.680 touched on these pages by Nathan Masters and Hadley Meres. 1426 01:17:25.079 --> 01:17:27.880 Schue Felt, a mining engineer and inventor with the mysterious 1427 01:17:28.000 --> 01:17:31.119 radio X ray device, claimed to have found treasure catacombs 1428 01:17:31.159 --> 01:17:34.119 under Fort Moore Hill in nineteen thirty three. According to 1429 01:17:34.239 --> 01:17:37.359 Rex McCreery and Ray Martin, who spoke of an ancient 1430 01:17:37.479 --> 01:17:41.399 map they had schueound, Schoefelt's find was a vault of 1431 01:17:41.439 --> 01:17:45.159 Spanish gold, or perhaps it was Aztec, it wasn't clear. 1432 01:17:45.600 --> 01:17:49.359 In early nineteen thirty three, the three treasure hunters convinced 1433 01:17:49.399 --> 01:17:52.520 the county Board of Supervisors that they should be authorized 1434 01:17:52.560 --> 01:17:55.439 to dig. They offered an even split of the riches 1435 01:17:55.520 --> 01:17:57.840 with the county. It seemed like a good idea in 1436 01:17:57.880 --> 01:18:00.720 the worst year of the Great Depression, I would think. 1437 01:18:00.760 --> 01:18:03.239 So everybody's desperate. They're like, yeah, fuck it, if he 1438 01:18:03.279 --> 01:18:05.399 finds some gold down there from the Aztecs will split it, 1439 01:18:05.439 --> 01:18:08.439 which a fifty to fifty hass get after it. By March, 1440 01:18:08.479 --> 01:18:11.279 a crew of volunteer diggers hoping for a cut of 1441 01:18:11.279 --> 01:18:14.279 the gold, had driven a twenty eight foot shaft into 1442 01:18:14.279 --> 01:18:17.640 the hilltop. They found nothing but rocks and mud. Strangely, 1443 01:18:17.720 --> 01:18:21.119 the treasure shaft was directly over an excavation for the 1444 01:18:21.119 --> 01:18:24.239 new Broadway Tunnel. The tunnel workers boring through the hill 1445 01:18:24.239 --> 01:18:27.880 hadn't found any Spanish or Aztec gold either. In September, 1446 01:18:28.000 --> 01:18:31.680 the disappointed gold seekers let their county permit lapse. Alfred 1447 01:18:31.720 --> 01:18:34.680 Scott took up the search, promising the Board of supervisors 1448 01:18:34.680 --> 01:18:36.640 that he could reach the treasure vault with his own 1449 01:18:36.680 --> 01:18:39.640 pick and shovel. He may have dug, but if he did, 1450 01:18:39.680 --> 01:18:43.000 he didn't find anything. Schuefelt and his radio X ray 1451 01:18:43.520 --> 01:18:47.039 returned in January nineteen thirty four with an even better story. 1452 01:18:47.520 --> 01:18:50.720 It combined every pulp fiction trope of super science and 1453 01:18:50.760 --> 01:18:55.199 thrilling adventure native American legend, a doomed civilization of lizard 1454 01:18:55.199 --> 01:18:59.079 people from five thousand years ago, unknown technological marvels and 1455 01:18:59.199 --> 01:19:03.159 vast caverns filled with wondrous revelations that actually does sound 1456 01:19:03.159 --> 01:19:05.840 like a pretty rip snorting good time. It wasn't Spanish 1457 01:19:05.920 --> 01:19:08.960 or even Aztec gold to lay under the old banning property, 1458 01:19:09.319 --> 01:19:13.399 The Los Angeles Times soberly reported, but the wealth of 1459 01:19:13.479 --> 01:19:17.520 the Lizard Empire. Shoefelt had gotten back to Arizona and 1460 01:19:17.560 --> 01:19:21.239 got the whole story directly from Chief Greenleaf, otherwise referred 1461 01:19:21.239 --> 01:19:25.239 to as l. Macklin in the Times account. Okay, so 1462 01:19:25.560 --> 01:19:28.479 I'm surprised they would use his native name instead of 1463 01:19:28.560 --> 01:19:31.680 but whatever. Okay. Anyway, the Lizard people weren't actually lizards, 1464 01:19:31.720 --> 01:19:34.680 it turned out, but refugees from a West Coast version 1465 01:19:34.720 --> 01:19:39.159 of Atlantis. Hell yeah, it was meteors that did the 1466 01:19:39.199 --> 01:19:42.760 lizard people did in the lizard people, according to Macklin's 1467 01:19:42.920 --> 01:19:46.960 scrambled version of the Native American mythology. Shoe Felt, with 1468 01:19:47.079 --> 01:19:51.720 Macklin's guidance, Macklin, being Chief Greenleaf in County Permit, began 1469 01:19:51.800 --> 01:19:54.920 a new excavation on Fort Moore Hill in early nineteen 1470 01:19:54.960 --> 01:19:57.159 thirty four, hoping to tap the maze of tunnels and 1471 01:19:57.199 --> 01:20:00.000 vaults the Lizard people had bored by means of an 1472 01:20:00.159 --> 01:20:01.479 unknown chemical solution. 1473 01:20:02.119 --> 01:20:06.720 Interesting, yeah, so they actually supposedly bored two hundred and 1474 01:20:06.760 --> 01:20:12.279 eighty five tunnels. WHOA, So that's apparently the story from 1475 01:20:12.319 --> 01:20:14.119 the Hopie people is that they had two hundred and 1476 01:20:14.119 --> 01:20:16.479 eighty five tunnels and they had over one thousand families 1477 01:20:16.520 --> 01:20:18.079 down there, and that this. 1478 01:20:19.199 --> 01:20:20.600 That he had found. 1479 01:20:21.079 --> 01:20:25.119 That Warren had found one nine hundred feet of tunnels 1480 01:20:25.159 --> 01:20:28.680 and rooms that were nine thousand square feet in floor 1481 01:20:28.760 --> 01:20:30.840 space for floor. 1482 01:20:30.640 --> 01:20:31.840 Space, excuse me. Wow. 1483 01:20:32.720 --> 01:20:34.920 He also claimed that he found sixteen places where the 1484 01:20:34.920 --> 01:20:37.800 Lizard people had stored their gold, seeing that the great 1485 01:20:37.840 --> 01:20:41.039 treasure troves were the key rooms hidden deep within the 1486 01:20:41.479 --> 01:20:43.439 Times Times Mirror Square. 1487 01:20:43.720 --> 01:20:45.760 And this is where he said to have. 1488 01:20:45.680 --> 01:20:49.159 A map of thirty seven great golden tablets four feet 1489 01:20:49.199 --> 01:20:52.920 long and fourteen inches wide. So there was thirty seven 1490 01:20:53.000 --> 01:20:54.720 gold tablets, by the way. 1491 01:20:54.640 --> 01:20:56.560 And he was able to see this from his X 1492 01:20:56.680 --> 01:20:57.720 ray radio device. 1493 01:21:00.119 --> 01:21:02.880 All right, apparently I haven't seen this article. I just 1494 01:21:02.920 --> 01:21:05.279 found this article that actually gives me way more detail 1495 01:21:05.319 --> 01:21:07.319 than what the other ones were. So I was like, okay, 1496 01:21:07.840 --> 01:21:10.439 so you're reading this, I'm finding more information over here. 1497 01:21:10.479 --> 01:21:12.920 I'm like, oh, I didn't even know because I couldn't 1498 01:21:12.960 --> 01:21:14.439 find actual details of this. 1499 01:21:14.520 --> 01:21:15.560 So yeah, interesting. 1500 01:21:15.840 --> 01:21:18.039 I mean, if you want to read that one instead 1501 01:21:18.039 --> 01:21:19.880 of this when a movie can this, one's kind of 1502 01:21:20.560 --> 01:21:22.359 I didn't know that he had started the dig, left 1503 01:21:22.520 --> 01:21:25.399 found the native chief, and then came back to dig again. 1504 01:21:25.560 --> 01:21:28.960 So I didn't realize that either, because when I listened 1505 01:21:28.960 --> 01:21:30.880 to everything and when I read the other articles, it 1506 01:21:30.920 --> 01:21:31.479 didn't never. 1507 01:21:31.439 --> 01:21:34.720 State that he It stated the way that. 1508 01:21:34.680 --> 01:21:37.119 He happened was he found stuff and then he went 1509 01:21:37.159 --> 01:21:38.600 and talked to them, and then he went and got 1510 01:21:38.640 --> 01:21:41.520 the permits. But I guess that's actually not the way 1511 01:21:41.720 --> 01:21:44.479 it was because a lot of the different things keep changing, 1512 01:21:44.520 --> 01:21:48.159 like different things keep little small details keep changing. 1513 01:21:48.159 --> 01:21:50.319 But you know, who knows at this point. It's one 1514 01:21:50.359 --> 01:21:51.159 of those things. 1515 01:21:50.920 --> 01:21:53.960 That's like lost in time of what actually was the truth? 1516 01:21:54.279 --> 01:21:58.039 Right, So Shoefelts exploratory chef eventually reached the depth of 1517 01:21:58.039 --> 01:21:59.840 two hundred and fifty feet when the attention of the 1518 01:21:59.840 --> 01:22:03.359 times ran out and mud and water began pouring in. 1519 01:22:03.840 --> 01:22:06.439 If Schoefelt and the other treasure hunters at Fort Moore 1520 01:22:06.479 --> 01:22:10.399 Hill were running a confident scam, their victims were remarkably 1521 01:22:10.520 --> 01:22:14.239 quiet about after being burned. Perhaps investors were so convinced 1522 01:22:14.239 --> 01:22:17.720 by the story or stories that their losses were accounted 1523 01:22:17.960 --> 01:22:22.159 bad luck. If there were any investors at all. Maybe 1524 01:22:22.199 --> 01:22:25.439 they were just simply embarrassed. Others kept on looking for 1525 01:22:25.479 --> 01:22:29.199 a golden Eureka of lost wealth, including Okay, there's another 1526 01:22:29.319 --> 01:22:32.399 article about the next guy's a look, Yeah, shoe felt 1527 01:22:32.439 --> 01:22:36.439 stayed on too, dying in North Hollywood in nineteen fifty seven. 1528 01:22:36.520 --> 01:22:39.000 By then, the lizard people of Los Angeles had seemingly 1529 01:22:39.039 --> 01:22:43.920 disappeared except as textbook examples of bizarre Los Angeles, but 1530 01:22:44.039 --> 01:22:47.159 they had gone to populate a darker narrative of forgotten 1531 01:22:47.199 --> 01:22:50.119 worlds and unknown races, in which golden thread of the 1532 01:22:50.159 --> 01:22:55.560 American imagination leads not to unearned riches, but to ancient UFOs, 1533 01:22:55.760 --> 01:23:00.720 sinister aliens, and sometimes paranoia. Okay, fair enough. So. 1534 01:23:01.239 --> 01:23:05.239 I also states that the Dentons boulders made it hard 1535 01:23:05.279 --> 01:23:09.399 going going after hitting the water. That's why they decided 1536 01:23:09.640 --> 01:23:13.640 the mud was like the biggest issue. Somewhere around two 1537 01:23:13.720 --> 01:23:16.000 hundred and fifty to three hundred and fifty feet, the 1538 01:23:16.079 --> 01:23:19.920 team was forced to give up. Exactly why remains completely unclear. 1539 01:23:20.319 --> 01:23:23.439 Summer reports claim that there was a cave in the 1540 01:23:23.520 --> 01:23:27.239 other ones state that this just lost they just lost interest. 1541 01:23:27.680 --> 01:23:30.000 Another one states that the funds dried up. And that 1542 01:23:30.119 --> 01:23:33.000 the team ran out of money. But they were all volunteers, 1543 01:23:33.039 --> 01:23:35.439 by the way, so that it's an interesting thing. 1544 01:23:35.560 --> 01:23:37.560 These three things could be true at the same time, 1545 01:23:37.840 --> 01:23:39.560 Like there may they could. Yeah, it may have been 1546 01:23:39.560 --> 01:23:42.239 a cave in around the time the investors decided to 1547 01:23:42.239 --> 01:23:44.760 pull out, and around the time that they were like, look, 1548 01:23:44.800 --> 01:23:46.800 we already had this happen, and this happened, it's time 1549 01:23:46.840 --> 01:23:48.600 to pack it in and they lost interests like these 1550 01:23:48.920 --> 01:23:50.319 they're not mutually exclusive. 1551 01:23:51.840 --> 01:23:54.920 Yeah, I mean it says basically after that his team 1552 01:23:55.119 --> 01:23:58.640 just completely him and his team just completely disappeared, popped 1553 01:23:58.680 --> 01:24:01.439 again one time, and nineteen fifty seven the year that 1554 01:24:01.479 --> 01:24:06.479 he died, and then vanished obviously from history again. They 1555 01:24:06.520 --> 01:24:09.840 never found any evidence of the gold or the lizard people. 1556 01:24:10.000 --> 01:24:13.960 Was it all a con Some experts believe it potentially 1557 01:24:14.000 --> 01:24:14.479 could have been. 1558 01:24:16.680 --> 01:24:18.399 It's yeah, so I guess. 1559 01:24:18.680 --> 01:24:22.000 In nineteen seventy two, San Jose man hiking in Mount 1560 01:24:22.000 --> 01:24:24.680 Shassa claim to see a lizard person wearing a shirt 1561 01:24:25.000 --> 01:24:30.560 and trousers also hiking on the mountaintop. Furthermore, five weeks 1562 01:24:30.560 --> 01:24:35.399 before Warren even began his dig, a woman in port 1563 01:24:35.520 --> 01:24:39.119 that's the one I was talking about Edith also claimed 1564 01:24:39.520 --> 01:24:42.159 that she had evidence and that it was five weeks 1565 01:24:42.159 --> 01:24:45.159 before he even did anything, before the story even broke, 1566 01:24:45.840 --> 01:24:47.840 She had this claim that she wrote. 1567 01:24:47.600 --> 01:24:50.319 In about so that's wild. 1568 01:24:51.479 --> 01:24:54.239 Everybody can take that information with what they want and 1569 01:24:54.439 --> 01:24:57.239 kind of like make up, you know, I guess figure 1570 01:24:57.279 --> 01:24:59.239 out if you want to believe if he was actually 1571 01:24:59.800 --> 01:25:00.239 tell and. 1572 01:25:00.199 --> 01:25:00.800 The truth or not. 1573 01:25:01.000 --> 01:25:04.920 But I thought it was quite interesting the conversation of 1574 01:25:05.000 --> 01:25:07.840 lizard people and how this is actually a real conversation 1575 01:25:07.960 --> 01:25:09.960 that happened in nineteen thirty four. 1576 01:25:10.439 --> 01:25:15.479 Absolutely, And with that, now we go to the mysterious uh, 1577 01:25:15.520 --> 01:25:19.880 you know, Joshua Tree iron door cave. So this is 1578 01:25:19.920 --> 01:25:21.840 what you were talking about, right, Raven? Is this the 1579 01:25:21.920 --> 01:25:23.079 actual iron door? 1580 01:25:24.199 --> 01:25:24.760 I believe. 1581 01:25:24.840 --> 01:25:29.119 So Joshua Tree and La are like by each other, right, 1582 01:25:30.439 --> 01:25:33.079 but I think this is actually a different one. Okay, 1583 01:25:34.159 --> 01:25:36.359 So this is just I when I typed it in, 1584 01:25:36.520 --> 01:25:38.039 this is came up and I was like, well, that's 1585 01:25:38.119 --> 01:25:41.319 kind of an odd because so Joshua Tree is, when 1586 01:25:41.319 --> 01:25:43.239 I say, by each other, Joshua Tree is around one 1587 01:25:43.319 --> 01:25:46.840 hundred and thirty miles away from La. Oh so it's 1588 01:25:46.840 --> 01:25:48.960 about a two hour two and a half hour drive. 1589 01:25:49.319 --> 01:25:53.880 Oh so yeah, they're sitting there kind of by each other. 1590 01:25:53.960 --> 01:25:57.199 But this is another claim to this iron door. And 1591 01:25:57.239 --> 01:25:59.880 I actually didn't get a chance to fully read this our. 1592 01:26:00.199 --> 01:26:01.720 I thought it was an interesting but I was kind 1593 01:26:01.720 --> 01:26:04.239 of in the thing. But I saw it and I 1594 01:26:04.239 --> 01:26:08.560 was like, okay, So hmm, there's another iron door being claimed. 1595 01:26:09.279 --> 01:26:11.840 Okay, let's let's read in a little bit here.

She wasn't out in them hiking 1658 01:29:28.039 --> 01:29:29.359 up these hills and all this shit. 1659 01:29:29.520 --> 01:29:31.800 I'm not going to make the joke the door was wide. 1660 01:29:31.600 --> 01:29:36.199 Open, but just stating that during that time period it was, 1661 01:29:37.279 --> 01:29:40.039 well that's nine point nine nine percent, it was going 1662 01:29:40.119 --> 01:29:43.159 to be a man. So like men be out there 1663 01:29:43.239 --> 01:29:45.520 drinking and like you know, doing things maybe. 1664 01:29:45.359 --> 01:29:47.680 Boring and building boring. 1665 01:29:47.359 --> 01:29:50.399 And you know they maybe it just happened to be 1666 01:29:50.600 --> 01:29:53.760 all of these people for a hundred years just happened 1667 01:29:53.760 --> 01:29:57.600 to have the same weird, you know, situation. 1668 01:29:57.880 --> 01:29:59.960 It's possible, it's you know, quote. 1669 01:29:59.720 --> 01:30:04.000 Unquot but for generations throughout the towns that were surrounding 1670 01:30:04.039 --> 01:30:06.439 this area, they all had stated the same thing, that 1671 01:30:06.479 --> 01:30:09.920 they saw this door and that no one could understand it, 1672 01:30:10.199 --> 01:30:13.159 No one knew who built it. The damn thing keeps vanishing, 1673 01:30:13.319 --> 01:30:17.399 keeps moving places. It is clearly something that a lot 1674 01:30:17.479 --> 01:30:20.960 of people have seen experience. People had There had been 1675 01:30:21.119 --> 01:30:23.920 lots of rumors for over one hundred years of men 1676 01:30:24.000 --> 01:30:28.840 going up into these the hills and just completely disappearing. Yeah, 1677 01:30:28.880 --> 01:30:31.640 and you know some would come down with nothing in 1678 01:30:31.680 --> 01:30:34.479 their hands. Some would never come down at all, and 1679 01:30:34.479 --> 01:30:37.399 people were just like, Yep, it's a risk you take. 1680 01:30:37.760 --> 01:30:40.479 And then there's warn And talking about his stuff. And 1681 01:30:40.520 --> 01:30:43.119 at the same time those four men disappearing the same 1682 01:30:43.199 --> 01:30:46.800 year and that woman before him talking about the lizard people. 1683 01:30:46.920 --> 01:30:49.239 So you guys can take whatever you want from this. 1684 01:30:49.359 --> 01:30:52.359 But I thought, as we're talking about tunnels and things 1685 01:30:52.359 --> 01:30:55.079 that could go out to the ocean, that we all believe, 1686 01:30:55.199 --> 01:30:57.239 or at least some of us believe that there is 1687 01:30:57.279 --> 01:30:59.760 aliens in the ocean for sure, that if it really 1688 01:30:59.880 --> 01:31:02.640 was as an alien race, maybe they are transversing back 1689 01:31:02.640 --> 01:31:05.600 and forth between these tunnels and the ocean. 1690 01:31:05.880 --> 01:31:08.960 Also worth mentioning, uh So, a lot of times when 1691 01:31:09.000 --> 01:31:13.000 we talk about underground places like this, lizard people and 1692 01:31:13.079 --> 01:31:17.920 mole people get brought up in the same context, almost interchangeably. 1693 01:31:18.560 --> 01:31:21.399 So to my knowledge, with the research that we have done, 1694 01:31:21.720 --> 01:31:24.439 we didn't see anything as far as like mole people 1695 01:31:24.520 --> 01:31:27.079 living under La. There was a lot of lost. 1696 01:31:26.840 --> 01:31:30.279 Stories about Las Vegas and New York are the places 1697 01:31:30.279 --> 01:31:32.800 that we will get to that has mole people. 1698 01:31:32.800 --> 01:31:35.159 Right, But as far as under La goes, all we 1699 01:31:35.199 --> 01:31:38.600 can find was the lizard people. We're all in the 1700 01:31:38.640 --> 01:31:39.039 same yes. 1701 01:31:39.199 --> 01:31:41.319 And also and also I know a lot of people 1702 01:31:41.359 --> 01:31:43.880 are going to bring this up because of the videos 1703 01:31:43.880 --> 01:31:47.479 that are circling all over the internet. Subtroplis is not 1704 01:31:47.640 --> 01:31:50.359 actually in LA. I did way too much research trying 1705 01:31:50.359 --> 01:31:51.840 to figure out if it was in LA or not. 1706 01:31:52.279 --> 01:31:56.399 It's actually in Kansas, Missouri. So when we start going 1707 01:31:56.439 --> 01:31:58.920 across the country, I am definitely going to do a 1708 01:31:58.920 --> 01:32:02.399 big one on this this because that's been the big 1709 01:32:02.840 --> 01:32:05.319 focal point for the least the last six months of 1710 01:32:05.399 --> 01:32:08.279 these videos that you see popping up on your feeds 1711 01:32:08.279 --> 01:32:10.920 and stuff of like, did you see this giant underground 1712 01:32:10.920 --> 01:32:13.760 city and it has McDonald's and all this stuff and 1713 01:32:13.760 --> 01:32:16.680 it's underneath La and blah blah blah. It's actually not 1714 01:32:16.800 --> 01:32:20.600 underneath La, but there is a whole bunch of tunnels 1715 01:32:20.640 --> 01:32:23.000 and a whole bunch of shit underneath LA. 1716 01:32:23.199 --> 01:32:25.239 So that that doesn't take away from the conversation. 1717 01:32:25.359 --> 01:32:29.439 But yes, absolutely So, Now with that, let's get back 1718 01:32:29.520 --> 01:32:33.199 to the underground of LA and one of the more 1719 01:32:33.960 --> 01:32:38.000 you know, specific individuals when you think of you know, 1720 01:32:38.159 --> 01:32:41.199 the what you might call LA Royalty at one point 1721 01:32:41.199 --> 01:32:44.520 in time. Let's talk a little Hugh Heffner. Let's talk 1722 01:32:44.520 --> 01:32:49.880 a little Playboy Mansion, and he really was a despicable 1723 01:32:49.960 --> 01:32:52.880 human being. And I know, listen, cult members, if there's 1724 01:32:52.880 --> 01:32:56.039 anybody out there that does not know much about old 1725 01:32:56.119 --> 01:33:00.359 Hugh Hefner, here's the deal. Although he tried to give 1726 01:33:00.359 --> 01:33:02.720 off this persona that he was just trying to. 1727 01:33:02.920 --> 01:33:06.800 You know, give women empowerment. 1728 01:33:06.479 --> 01:33:13.159 Women empowerment, tasteful nudity, all these things, we're we're about 1729 01:33:13.199 --> 01:33:15.800 to you know, cut back the layers on some of this. 1730 01:33:16.000 --> 01:33:19.000 But the reason why specifically we're gonna start talking about 1731 01:33:19.039 --> 01:33:23.359 Hugh Hefner on this particular episode is because the secret 1732 01:33:23.399 --> 01:33:27.000 Playboy Mansion tunnels that led to the Hollywood homes of 1733 01:33:27.119 --> 01:33:32.479 celebrity casanova's. And there's some controversy surrounding these tunnels. Some 1734 01:33:32.640 --> 01:33:34.960 are gonna say that they were never dug. There was 1735 01:33:35.000 --> 01:33:38.279 blueprints that were you know, drawn up, but they weren't 1736 01:33:38.319 --> 01:33:41.600 actually ever dug. And then there's others that will say 1737 01:33:41.720 --> 01:33:44.920 no because he hosted pig parties every Thursday night and 1738 01:33:45.000 --> 01:33:48.800 the pumps and their hookers came to the Playboy Mansion 1739 01:33:49.239 --> 01:33:53.119 via the tunnels, and there's first hand accounts of this. 1740 01:33:53.279 --> 01:33:55.720 So we're just gonna get into it here. This is 1741 01:33:55.760 --> 01:33:58.960 from the messy Nessi's cabinet. I thought that was funny. 1742 01:33:59.359 --> 01:34:02.359 And on screen right now is a picture of the 1743 01:34:02.399 --> 01:34:06.000 official blueprint from the Playboy Mansion. The stairway going down. 1744 01:34:06.199 --> 01:34:09.279 There's two separate tunnels at least in this one picture, 1745 01:34:09.760 --> 01:34:13.359 and let's get into it here. So, the editorial staff 1746 01:34:13.399 --> 01:34:16.640 at Playboy dot com recently revealed that they have discovered 1747 01:34:16.680 --> 01:34:20.439 a bunch of dusty old blueprints, plans, and photographs of 1748 01:34:20.479 --> 01:34:23.960 an unfinished basement area of the Playboy Mansion, which unveil 1749 01:34:24.039 --> 01:34:28.760 a network of underground tunnels that allegedly linked Hefner's notorious 1750 01:34:28.760 --> 01:34:33.600 bachelor's Pad to the home of mister Jack Nicholson, w Beatty, 1751 01:34:34.079 --> 01:34:39.319 Kurt Douglas, and Jay Caine during the late seventies and eighties. 1752 01:34:39.760 --> 01:34:41.880 And if you recognize some of those names. 1753 01:34:41.760 --> 01:34:43.199 They're not Kurt Douglas. 1754 01:34:43.199 --> 01:34:45.279 Oh, y know, Kurt Douglas was not a good man 1755 01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:49.319 at all, but like, yeah, you know, until now, Playboy 1756 01:34:49.359 --> 01:34:52.800 journalists themselves have have been kept in the dark about 1757 01:34:52.840 --> 01:34:56.760 these secret tunnels, which is somewhat surprising since Playboy did 1758 01:34:56.800 --> 01:35:00.439 begin first and foremost as an editorial magazine, and this, 1759 01:35:00.600 --> 01:35:03.159 to say the least, is quite the scoop, and they 1760 01:35:03.159 --> 01:35:06.079 have more pictures. By the way, they have polaroids on 1761 01:35:06.239 --> 01:35:10.239 screen of them digging into and tunneling in the basement 1762 01:35:10.239 --> 01:35:13.159 of the Playboy Mansion. That's what these pictures are. The 1763 01:35:13.239 --> 01:35:16.640 clues to the story were hiding in the office archives 1764 01:35:17.000 --> 01:35:20.359 all this time, polaroids dated to nineteen seventy seven that 1765 01:35:20.399 --> 01:35:25.000 showed large excavation projects at the residence. When editorial staff 1766 01:35:25.039 --> 01:35:27.680 contacted the mansion about the polaroids they had stumbled upon, 1767 01:35:28.079 --> 01:35:32.039 the mansion's current general manager responded, quote very matter of 1768 01:35:32.079 --> 01:35:35.880 factly and told the journalists that's probably when they built 1769 01:35:35.880 --> 01:35:41.399 the tunnels in the seventies. So like it's understood these 1770 01:35:41.439 --> 01:35:45.560 tunnels exist. So for any of the naysayers, they Playboy 1771 01:35:45.600 --> 01:35:49.560 has acknowledged them. But all right, let's continue a little Dumbfounded, 1772 01:35:49.960 --> 01:35:53.079 the editorial team promptly made their way over to the 1773 01:35:53.079 --> 01:35:55.960 Playboy Mansion and were given access by mansion staff to 1774 01:35:56.000 --> 01:35:58.960 a basement area, where they pretty much went nuts over 1775 01:35:59.000 --> 01:36:02.079 the treasure trove. They found there old photos, plans, and 1776 01:36:02.119 --> 01:36:05.840 blueprints clearly indicating that these tunnels led specifically to the 1777 01:36:05.840 --> 01:36:09.239 home of Jack Nicholson, Kirk Douglas, James can and of 1778 01:36:09.279 --> 01:36:13.279 course mister Warren Beattie, who all lived nearby. And there's 1779 01:36:13.279 --> 01:36:15.960 a close up for the record of this. It says 1780 01:36:16.000 --> 01:36:20.560 clearance may vary northbound tunnel to mister J. Nicholson residence, 1781 01:36:20.880 --> 01:36:24.159 there was a drainage pipe, pedestrian walkway. All this was 1782 01:36:24.199 --> 01:36:27.079 written on the blueprints. This is not some sort of 1783 01:36:27.079 --> 01:36:31.159 a modern hoax. These are discovered and acknowledged by the 1784 01:36:31.159 --> 01:36:34.439 Playboy company. And here you actually I'm gonna see if I 1785 01:36:34.479 --> 01:36:36.399 coul zoom in to see, I believe this is actually 1786 01:36:36.479 --> 01:36:39.720 too okay. This is the mister W. B. D resident's 1787 01:36:40.159 --> 01:36:42.960 north elevation and it shows how they were going to 1788 01:36:43.039 --> 01:36:45.039 have to do this tunnel. They were debating if they 1789 01:36:45.039 --> 01:36:47.119 were going to go higher or lower. There's a higher 1790 01:36:47.199 --> 01:36:52.319 risk area due to aquifers. They had all this planned out. 1791 01:36:52.720 --> 01:36:54.600 Hugh Hefner had gone as far as to talk to 1792 01:36:54.640 --> 01:36:57.159 the city about what was there to see where he 1793 01:36:57.199 --> 01:36:57.640 could dig. 1794 01:36:59.039 --> 01:36:59.359 Wow. 1795 01:36:59.720 --> 01:37:01.680 Yeah, yeah, it's mind blowing. 1796 01:37:01.760 --> 01:37:04.680 It's a far jaunt too, Like that's not just like 1797 01:37:04.800 --> 01:37:08.680 some little like poop little you know, yeah, rockaway like 1798 01:37:08.720 --> 01:37:11.640 through that's a how far do you think that is? 1799 01:37:11.760 --> 01:37:16.319 Like I don't really know because they show like Sunset 1800 01:37:16.359 --> 01:37:20.439 Boulevard was around this point. Let's see if I could 1801 01:37:20.479 --> 01:37:23.640 zoom in on this one. Los Angeles County or country 1802 01:37:23.680 --> 01:37:27.119 Club was around this area. The Charging cross Road was 1803 01:37:27.159 --> 01:37:29.720 around this area. So I mean they lived nearby, right. 1804 01:37:29.760 --> 01:37:31.600 It wasn't like they were going miles by any means, 1805 01:37:31.600 --> 01:37:33.399 but even still it was a It was a good 1806 01:37:33.399 --> 01:37:35.880 little walk, but it would also be a lot easier 1807 01:37:35.920 --> 01:37:39.399 to walk that rather than drive and be seen in 1808 01:37:39.439 --> 01:37:42.640 all these things, especially for the higher you know, echelon 1809 01:37:42.880 --> 01:37:46.840 of the fancy tops. But they also showed this same 1810 01:37:46.920 --> 01:37:50.359 tunnel was going to be tied into Jack Nicholson's residence 1811 01:37:50.680 --> 01:37:56.000 and Kirk Douglas's residence. The the mister J. Caine residence 1812 01:37:56.079 --> 01:37:59.079 was going the opposite direction. So this one tunnel was 1813 01:37:59.119 --> 01:38:02.960 supposed to it go to three different residents to the 1814 01:38:03.000 --> 01:38:06.960 Playboy Mansion. So the scoop of a lifetime, or at 1815 01:38:07.039 --> 01:38:09.800 least a pretty epic one, just sitting there all these 1816 01:38:09.920 --> 01:38:12.600 years in this dark basement, and this is clearly the 1817 01:38:12.600 --> 01:38:14.520 Playboy Mansion. This is where the basement was going to 1818 01:38:14.600 --> 01:38:18.640 lead to the stairway, all the things. It's absolutely mind blowing. 1819 01:38:19.199 --> 01:38:22.760 But when Playboy dot COM's team asked to see the 1820 01:38:22.800 --> 01:38:26.159 actual tunnel. A staff member said off the record that 1821 01:38:26.279 --> 01:38:30.119 he'd heard they were closed up sometime in nineteen eighty nine, 1822 01:38:30.600 --> 01:38:35.399 the same year mister Heffner married playmate Kimberly Conrad. The 1823 01:38:35.439 --> 01:38:40.439 Playboy journalist then reached out to mister Heffner's reps for Nicholson, Caine, 1824 01:38:40.439 --> 01:38:44.960 Douglas Embattie, but none of them wish to agree to comment. Shocker, 1825 01:38:45.239 --> 01:38:45.600 I know. 1826 01:38:46.199 --> 01:38:46.960 I wonder why. 1827 01:38:47.239 --> 01:38:49.439 Well, when we get to later articles that I have 1828 01:38:49.520 --> 01:38:53.560 pulled up, Raven, it's gonna be abundantly clear because a 1829 01:38:53.600 --> 01:38:56.399 lot of the truth about Hugh Hefner didn't come out 1830 01:38:56.479 --> 01:38:59.560 until he was dead. Oh yeah, your boy was basically 1831 01:38:59.640 --> 01:39:02.600 Epsty before Epstein. And we're gonna get to all of 1832 01:39:02.600 --> 01:39:05.680 this anyway. The team is now making a plea for 1833 01:39:05.720 --> 01:39:08.199 more information to readers and their dads who might be 1834 01:39:08.319 --> 01:39:12.079 any it might have any chance of being hanging around 1835 01:39:12.159 --> 01:39:15.159 secret entrances to basement tunnels at the mansion in the 1836 01:39:15.199 --> 01:39:20.000 seventies or eighties. This is Hugh Hefner and his new 1837 01:39:20.079 --> 01:39:23.640 bride at the mansion back in the day. It seems 1838 01:39:23.640 --> 01:39:25.720 a little fishing to me. We all know very well 1839 01:39:25.760 --> 01:39:30.479 that Simmy retired Loathery's, Nicholson, Beattie and the like got 1840 01:39:30.560 --> 01:39:32.760 up to no good in the good old days. Why 1841 01:39:32.800 --> 01:39:35.720 would mister Hefner want to keep such a fascinating story 1842 01:39:35.760 --> 01:39:40.680 from his own magazine. What more could these tunnels be hiding? Well, 1843 01:39:41.359 --> 01:39:44.640 let's talk about it here. This is a direct quotes 1844 01:39:44.680 --> 01:39:49.279 from Heffner's former valet reflects on pig Nights with hookers 1845 01:39:49.439 --> 01:39:52.079 and hef So for anybody who has never heard of 1846 01:39:52.119 --> 01:39:54.800 what these pig knights were, I'm gonna give you the 1847 01:39:54.840 --> 01:39:56.680 rundown that we're gonna read the article to kind of 1848 01:39:56.720 --> 01:39:59.960 confirm in all these things, because I found multiple articles. 1849 01:40:00.560 --> 01:40:03.680 I found multiple first hand accounts and even some recordings 1850 01:40:03.760 --> 01:40:08.720 of the people talking about this. Every Thursday night, without fail, 1851 01:40:08.920 --> 01:40:13.359 every Thursday night, Hugh Hefner would host pig nights. And 1852 01:40:13.399 --> 01:40:16.159 what he would do is get in contact with every 1853 01:40:16.479 --> 01:40:20.199 pimp down Sunset and would ask them like to come 1854 01:40:20.239 --> 01:40:22.640 to his parties and there'd be a big party, big dinner, 1855 01:40:23.119 --> 01:40:25.359 you know, tons of drugs, tons of all the stuff, 1856 01:40:25.399 --> 01:40:30.039 all this and essentially see Hugh Hefner, although he hosted 1857 01:40:30.079 --> 01:40:33.079 a lot of big orgies and all these things, he 1858 01:40:33.359 --> 01:40:38.319 wasn't really big on participating in these events. He loved 1859 01:40:38.479 --> 01:40:42.359 sitting in his chair and smoking his weed and watching 1860 01:40:42.399 --> 01:40:45.960 these things. Even in his own bedroom. He had cameras 1861 01:40:46.039 --> 01:40:50.399 installed pretty much every square inch of the Playboy Mansion, 1862 01:40:50.600 --> 01:40:53.159 the grotto, all these things, all like ooh, what happens 1863 01:40:53.159 --> 01:40:55.640 her stays here? Yeah, except for the fact that he 1864 01:40:56.520 --> 01:41:01.520 had rooms after rooms after rooms of tapes back in 1865 01:41:01.520 --> 01:41:03.520 the day when like VHS was all like, that's the 1866 01:41:03.520 --> 01:41:07.159 best you could do of the things that were going 1867 01:41:07.199 --> 01:41:11.119 down at the Playboy Mansion twenty four to seven. Right, 1868 01:41:11.159 --> 01:41:13.920 this was before we had hard drives and memory banks 1869 01:41:13.920 --> 01:41:16.000 and all this. You had had to have hard copies 1870 01:41:16.039 --> 01:41:18.720 of all this. And he was somebody who and you 1871 01:41:18.840 --> 01:41:21.840 might ask if he was doing this for black male purposes. Listen, 1872 01:41:21.880 --> 01:41:24.600 your guess is as good as mine. I would say yes, personally. 1873 01:41:25.119 --> 01:41:27.920 But he would sit there and watch. He would hire 1874 01:41:28.000 --> 01:41:31.560 professional male porn stars and some of the names actually 1875 01:41:31.560 --> 01:41:33.359 are going to be brought up in this article, who 1876 01:41:33.399 --> 01:41:37.960 are like way too well endowed to basically break these women. 1877 01:41:38.720 --> 01:41:43.239 And he would, you know, sometimes if they were so injured, 1878 01:41:43.239 --> 01:41:46.439 he would like have his valet send them to the 1879 01:41:46.479 --> 01:41:49.319 hospital and like cut them a check and fuck them 1880 01:41:49.359 --> 01:41:51.880 they're a hooker. It didn't matter. When he would call 1881 01:41:51.920 --> 01:41:53.800 the pimps, he would ask how many pigs do you 1882 01:41:53.840 --> 01:41:56.399 have coming to the party tonight. That's why they were 1883 01:41:56.399 --> 01:41:59.560 called pig nights. And he was just hiring guys to 1884 01:41:59.760 --> 01:42:04.960 just absolutely destroy these women, regardless of what happened next. 1885 01:42:05.279 --> 01:42:07.880 And he was recording all of it, and that that's 1886 01:42:07.920 --> 01:42:10.319 what he got off to. That's what this man was about. 1887 01:42:11.159 --> 01:42:14.600 There was a lot from his ex girlfriends and stuff 1888 01:42:14.640 --> 01:42:17.600 about his life, but there was a lot. I watched 1889 01:42:17.600 --> 01:42:20.560 the you remember that show they had on MTV where 1890 01:42:20.560 --> 01:42:22.039 they like follow them around and stuff. 1891 01:42:22.119 --> 01:42:24.479 I watched that and I always thought that was really creepy. 1892 01:42:24.479 --> 01:42:26.479 There was a lot of things that didn't like add 1893 01:42:26.560 --> 01:42:29.960 up also and stuff. And then when you finally hear 1894 01:42:30.079 --> 01:42:32.680 about their interviews and like what they've been through and 1895 01:42:32.680 --> 01:42:33.359 that kind of stuff. 1896 01:42:33.399 --> 01:42:35.960 And then the older women that worked. 1897 01:42:35.640 --> 01:42:39.640 At the Hugh Hefner he had he had a bar, 1898 01:42:39.720 --> 01:42:42.119 didn't he the club? 1899 01:42:42.239 --> 01:42:42.399 Yeah? 1900 01:42:42.439 --> 01:42:44.760 The Playboy club that they that he had. 1901 01:42:45.479 --> 01:42:47.960 Maybe it would New York the one that he always 1902 01:42:48.039 --> 01:42:50.880 visited though, like the and they talked like about how 1903 01:42:50.880 --> 01:42:53.239 he was and how he would like view women and 1904 01:42:53.279 --> 01:42:55.319 what he would say and do and stuff like that. 1905 01:42:55.720 --> 01:42:58.920 Old boy was just absolutely atrocious. 1906 01:42:58.960 --> 01:43:03.159 Oh he hated women like he them. But and then 1907 01:43:03.319 --> 01:43:05.960 cut too in the same conversation, which we will be 1908 01:43:06.000 --> 01:43:08.960 talking about in a bit, so he it wasn't just 1909 01:43:09.000 --> 01:43:13.880 for adult women. He also was I'm not sure if 1910 01:43:13.880 --> 01:43:14.119 he was. 1911 01:43:14.600 --> 01:43:19.079 Young friends were virgins too, and he loved, well, he 1912 01:43:19.199 --> 01:43:22.640 loved taking the virginities. The twins were virgins, like that 1913 01:43:22.720 --> 01:43:25.479 was that was a whole thing for him. He would 1914 01:43:25.520 --> 01:43:27.479 force him to have sex with them the night that 1915 01:43:27.520 --> 01:43:29.159 they were in the mansion. 1916 01:43:37.960 --> 01:43:42.960 Absolutely and and multiple clubs he hosted these nights where 1917 01:43:43.079 --> 01:43:46.600 he had young boys dressed in the bunny costume. And 1918 01:43:46.640 --> 01:43:49.000 by young boys, I do in fact mean like under 1919 01:43:49.039 --> 01:43:52.560 the age of like fifteen, like ten twelve, thirteen year 1920 01:43:52.600 --> 01:43:56.479 old boys dressed in the bunny costumes being the waitresses 1921 01:43:56.560 --> 01:44:02.359 at these clubs, straight up chieboy shit, like with no weirdness. 1922 01:44:02.399 --> 01:44:04.800 Everybody was like, oh wow, that's a thing tonight. It's like, wait, 1923 01:44:04.840 --> 01:44:06.840 what the fuck is wrong with you? And this is 1924 01:44:06.880 --> 01:44:09.119 also from the same guy, and I've mentioned it a 1925 01:44:09.119 --> 01:44:10.800 few times. We're gonna do it. We're gonna read an 1926 01:44:10.840 --> 01:44:13.960 article about it in a minute. Who hosts or who 1927 01:44:14.560 --> 01:44:19.600 basically published the Sugar and Spice edition of Playboy, where 1928 01:44:20.039 --> 01:44:23.840 the girls were extremely young. One of them, a girl 1929 01:44:23.920 --> 01:44:27.760 you might know now as the actress Brooke Shields, was 1930 01:44:27.880 --> 01:44:32.039 modeled full nude at ten years old. The worst part 1931 01:44:32.079 --> 01:44:34.039 of that is that her mother signed off on it, 1932 01:44:34.560 --> 01:44:35.640 which we're gonna talk about. 1933 01:44:36.600 --> 01:44:37.880 It's absolutely horrific. 1934 01:44:38.159 --> 01:44:42.920 So when we talk about his affinity for watching very 1935 01:44:42.960 --> 01:44:47.439 disgusting acts and recording everything in the house, and these 1936 01:44:47.479 --> 01:44:50.479 tunnels that are allegedly or not allegedly, they are confirmed, 1937 01:44:50.520 --> 01:44:54.279 like built the pig Knights with the hookers and all that, 1938 01:44:54.800 --> 01:44:57.399 let's just go into it and please understand that while 1939 01:44:57.479 --> 01:44:59.920 so many people saw Hugh Hefner as like a visionary, 1940 01:45:00.079 --> 01:45:05.039 he's iconic, he's this, he was a absolutely disgusting human being. 1941 01:45:05.319 --> 01:45:08.800 Let's get into it here. So from nineteen seventy eight 1942 01:45:08.840 --> 01:45:13.159 through nineteen seventy nine, Stefan Tattenbaum, who is this guy 1943 01:45:13.239 --> 01:45:15.239 sitting in this chair right here? If you were on Patreon, 1944 01:45:15.279 --> 01:45:18.159 you could see him worked as Hugh Hefner's valet, doing 1945 01:45:18.199 --> 01:45:22.760 everything from restocking Playboy's founder's fridge with necessities like perfectly 1946 01:45:22.840 --> 01:45:27.319 chilled pepsi and cleaning sex toys. After Hefner's infamous pig Nights, 1947 01:45:27.720 --> 01:45:30.359 when the rogue clad, hef would call in prostitutes for 1948 01:45:30.399 --> 01:45:34.600 his friends. Tettenbaum, now sixty seven and a sculptor living 1949 01:45:34.640 --> 01:45:38.640 in Redono Beach, California, shares his stories with the post. 1950 01:45:39.159 --> 01:45:41.479 My job as mister Hefner's valet was to take care 1951 01:45:41.520 --> 01:45:44.520 of him in a very personal way. I prepared his 1952 01:45:44.800 --> 01:45:47.800 sick menu, which was Pepsi, Campbell's chicken noodle soup and 1953 01:45:47.840 --> 01:45:51.199 Eminem's whenever he felt ill, which was often because he 1954 01:45:51.239 --> 01:45:54.399 was a hypochondriac. I also made sure that the maids 1955 01:45:54.399 --> 01:45:56.720 took all the sex toys down to the basement after 1956 01:45:56.920 --> 01:45:59.800 use and washed and sterilized them before returning the gadgets 1957 01:45:59.840 --> 01:46:03.439 to the secret compartment above his bed. On certain nights, 1958 01:46:03.479 --> 01:46:06.279 mister Hefner had prostitutes brought up to the mansion and 1959 01:46:06.319 --> 01:46:09.079 he would entertain them with a big dinner and invite 1960 01:46:09.079 --> 01:46:11.880 his friends to come and participate in different intimate acts 1961 01:46:11.960 --> 01:46:15.840 with them. It was called pig Night. Sometimes the women 1962 01:46:15.920 --> 01:46:19.680 had penises, and Hefner didn't want to be involved with that, 1963 01:46:19.760 --> 01:46:23.399 although some of the other guests, especially John Belushi, they 1964 01:46:23.439 --> 01:46:26.479 didn't mind. Now, I don't know if that's confirmed or not, 1965 01:46:26.600 --> 01:46:30.239 but there it is. Hugh most of the time never 1966 01:46:30.319 --> 01:46:33.319 had sex with women. He was more interested in watching. 1967 01:46:33.720 --> 01:46:37.239 He would hire famous male porn stars, including John Holmes, 1968 01:46:37.560 --> 01:46:40.159 with huge penises, and watch them have sex with different 1969 01:46:40.199 --> 01:46:43.039 girls he brought in. Hugh sat there in his favorite chair, 1970 01:46:43.319 --> 01:46:46.279 smoking a joint and eating red liquorice and watching. I 1971 01:46:46.319 --> 01:46:48.319 had to go into the room afterwards, and if the 1972 01:46:48.319 --> 01:46:50.800 girls couldn't walk, I had to have I would have 1973 01:46:50.880 --> 01:46:53.560 to escort them to the bedroom so that they could recuperate. 1974 01:46:54.119 --> 01:46:57.199 Hef sometimes gave bonuses to women because the sex acts 1975 01:46:57.279 --> 01:47:02.479 were so painful. Yeah, this is the guy pie. Like 1976 01:47:02.520 --> 01:47:06.960 I said, y'all, this was Epstein. Before Epstein. He always 1977 01:47:07.159 --> 01:47:10.920 filmed the encounters. He had two large video cameras over 1978 01:47:10.960 --> 01:47:14.319 his bed and had these giant screens across from his bed. 1979 01:47:14.720 --> 01:47:17.119 He had a whole library for these sex acts with 1980 01:47:17.159 --> 01:47:20.359 different people. And the video librarian told me have planned 1981 01:47:20.359 --> 01:47:23.319 to use the footage against his associates if they ever 1982 01:47:23.399 --> 01:47:25.840 threatened to come out with a memoir about him or 1983 01:47:25.880 --> 01:47:26.479 the mansion. 1984 01:47:27.760 --> 01:47:30.840 Yeah, wow, it's crazy tale as old as time. 1985 01:47:31.119 --> 01:47:33.359 You know what I mean? For many people, the Playboy 1986 01:47:33.439 --> 01:47:36.600 mansion was a safe haven from the proparazzi and private detectives. 1987 01:47:36.840 --> 01:47:39.840 A married comedian came for years, bringing different girls to 1988 01:47:39.880 --> 01:47:42.479 have sex with. I had to take many food trays 1989 01:47:42.520 --> 01:47:45.960 into the room where he was with these girls. There 1990 01:47:46.039 --> 01:47:49.680 was always cocaine around, though Heffner did not partake, preferring weed. 1991 01:47:50.079 --> 01:47:52.800 He would often have parties where he invited all the 1992 01:47:52.840 --> 01:47:56.800 marijuana growers in California to the house. The entire grounds 1993 01:47:56.840 --> 01:48:00.520 were under surveillance. There were cameras everywhere, and all the 1994 01:48:00.560 --> 01:48:03.279 phones were bugged. The staff had to be very careful, 1995 01:48:03.319 --> 01:48:05.800 and the men weren't allowed to speak to any of 1996 01:48:05.880 --> 01:48:08.840 HEF's girls or socialized with them. But if one of 1997 01:48:08.840 --> 01:48:12.800 hef'sus bunnies, I'm sorry. If one of HEF's bunnies was 1998 01:48:12.840 --> 01:48:15.119 out by the swimming pool and requested a lobster or 1999 01:48:15.159 --> 01:48:18.119 a cheeseburger, you deliver it to her and put the 2000 01:48:18.159 --> 01:48:21.000 tray between her legs. While she oiled her legs, you'd 2001 01:48:21.039 --> 01:48:23.479 see all the sorts of toys that were attached to 2002 01:48:23.840 --> 01:48:29.760 her vaginal areas. That's weird, but all right. The girls 2003 01:48:29.800 --> 01:48:32.520 loved to tease me. You also weren't supposed to be married. 2004 01:48:32.560 --> 01:48:34.640 If you worked for Hef. It was one of the rules, 2005 01:48:34.680 --> 01:48:37.920 which somehow he ignored for me since my wife also 2006 01:48:37.960 --> 01:48:40.720 worked at the mansion as a greeter during the parties. Wow, 2007 01:48:41.399 --> 01:48:45.720 Heff was not Yeah, Heff wasn't a kind man. If 2008 01:48:45.760 --> 01:48:48.079 he tasted the pepsi and it wasn't cold enough, he 2009 01:48:48.119 --> 01:48:49.840 would throw it away and call me to replace it. 2010 01:48:50.199 --> 01:48:51.960 I don't know if he ever even knew my name. 2011 01:48:52.039 --> 01:48:54.760 He would just call me Valet. He was very brutal 2012 01:48:54.800 --> 01:48:57.880 to his girlfriends and sex partners. He made sure they 2013 01:48:57.880 --> 01:49:01.000 had breast implants. In those days, the implants were new 2014 01:49:01.239 --> 01:49:03.840 and they would shift and burst, and I witnessed many 2015 01:49:03.880 --> 01:49:07.079 women who had this done, begging and crying to have 2016 01:49:07.239 --> 01:49:09.319 to help them, and he would put them back in 2017 01:49:09.359 --> 01:49:11.960 the hospital and discard these women. He didn't care. They 2018 01:49:11.960 --> 01:49:14.960 were disposable. I really didn't feel anything when I heard 2019 01:49:15.000 --> 01:49:17.880 that half died. He started out as an innovator and 2020 01:49:17.960 --> 01:49:20.239 was a very liberal guy. He was pro abortion and 2021 01:49:20.319 --> 01:49:23.560 gay rights in marijuana. He was very ahead of his time, 2022 01:49:23.720 --> 01:49:27.279 and then when he moved to Chicago, or from Chicago 2023 01:49:27.359 --> 01:49:32.479 to Hombly Hills, he became just another dirty, old rich man. Okay, 2024 01:49:32.520 --> 01:49:35.079 so this is from a former valet for Hugh Hefner, 2025 01:49:35.159 --> 01:49:39.520 and there are tons, tons of stories of first hand 2026 01:49:39.520 --> 01:49:42.359 accounts from these pig nights. This is not just like 2027 01:49:42.520 --> 01:49:46.760 an article you could find. There's literally tons. So to 2028 01:49:46.840 --> 01:49:51.560 circle back, some of the valets have come forward and 2029 01:49:51.640 --> 01:49:54.439 said that they were picking up these women and their 2030 01:49:54.479 --> 01:49:58.279 pimps on the carts and driving through the tunnels to 2031 01:49:58.439 --> 01:50:02.359 get to the mansion rather than have you know, because 2032 01:50:02.359 --> 01:50:06.000 these pig knights weren't. You're Hugh Hefner, you know what 2033 01:50:06.039 --> 01:50:09.279 I mean. You got bunnies, these women, the most gorgeous 2034 01:50:09.319 --> 01:50:12.199 women on earth. All of this, you want them to 2035 01:50:12.239 --> 01:50:16.279 be in the limelight, the hookers from Sunset and their pimps. 2036 01:50:16.520 --> 01:50:19.239 You don't want them pulling up and having people see 2037 01:50:19.279 --> 01:50:22.840 them pull up to your establishment. That lowers the caliber. 2038 01:50:23.439 --> 01:50:26.039 So he would sneak them in through the underground tunnels 2039 01:50:26.359 --> 01:50:28.319 and they would make their way up the stairs and 2040 01:50:28.399 --> 01:50:31.520 into these bedrooms where he would just watch men do 2041 01:50:31.680 --> 01:50:34.199 horrible shit to them and record it just so he 2042 01:50:34.239 --> 01:50:38.600 could enjoy it. He was a sick, sick, disgusting guy. 2043 01:50:39.520 --> 01:50:45.119 It anyway, moving forward to the next article, and again, 2044 01:50:46.279 --> 01:50:50.159 as we were talking about moving people through the tunnels, 2045 01:50:50.239 --> 01:50:53.640 under the Playboy mansion, and we talked about the male 2046 01:50:54.560 --> 01:50:57.119 the young boys that he had at other establishments, and 2047 01:50:57.159 --> 01:51:00.000 some of these prostitutes were also of the trans varieties. 2048 01:51:00.039 --> 01:51:02.079 So just any and everything went as far as half 2049 01:51:02.119 --> 01:51:05.840 was concerned, because he was all about like sexual liberation. Yeah, 2050 01:51:05.880 --> 01:51:10.880 to the level of his own publication showing a young 2051 01:51:11.000 --> 01:51:14.720 Brooks Shields on screen right now, thankfully covered up to 2052 01:51:14.720 --> 01:51:17.680 where you cannot see the nude parts of her body. 2053 01:51:17.720 --> 01:51:20.880 This is Brookshields when she was ten years old in 2054 01:51:21.239 --> 01:51:25.479 as a centerfold to the Sugar and Spice addition of 2055 01:51:25.560 --> 01:51:27.319 Playboy magazine. 2056 01:51:27.560 --> 01:51:29.119 Yeah, so discussing, so. 2057 01:51:29.279 --> 01:51:33.119 Do we think it was just women and our adults 2058 01:51:33.119 --> 01:51:36.159 that was being traveled in your trafficked I should say 2059 01:51:36.159 --> 01:51:39.520 through these tunnels to helf, I personally don't think so. Right, 2060 01:51:39.600 --> 01:51:42.439 it is a buyer's market after all, as let's talk 2061 01:51:42.439 --> 01:51:45.640 about it here. The Richard Prince photograph of Brooks Shields 2062 01:51:45.640 --> 01:51:49.359 that Tate Modern recently withdrew from the exhibit exhibition Pop 2063 01:51:49.399 --> 01:51:53.520 Life after Scotland Yard suggested it might break obscenity laws. Yo, 2064 01:51:53.640 --> 01:51:57.600 fucking might anyway, traveled across the Atlantic, carrying a long 2065 01:51:57.680 --> 01:52:01.479 history of controversy. It shows a tear year old, shields 2066 01:52:01.520 --> 01:52:05.760 oiled and glistened, naked and make made up, posing in 2067 01:52:05.800 --> 01:52:10.960 a marble bathtub with a seductive danger that beliles her years. 2068 01:52:11.520 --> 01:52:15.359 She has, in Prince's description quote, a body with two 2069 01:52:15.399 --> 01:52:18.039 different sexes maybe more, and a head that looks like 2070 01:52:18.079 --> 01:52:22.319 it got a different birthday. What a fucked up description 2071 01:52:23.800 --> 01:52:26.840 of a ten year old in a playboy. 2072 01:52:26.760 --> 01:52:30.079 Terrible, Like the whole thing is horrible. 2073 01:52:30.119 --> 01:52:33.359 I've actually looked into this before and like, yeah, it's 2074 01:52:33.640 --> 01:52:37.520 and the pictures are just absolutely terrible too, like and 2075 01:52:37.600 --> 01:52:39.640 like it's pure child porn, that's all. 2076 01:52:39.920 --> 01:52:42.119 She wasn't the only she wasn't the only one either. 2077 01:52:42.159 --> 01:52:43.680 Oh no, there is Tyle magazine. 2078 01:52:45.000 --> 01:52:47.760 Yeah, so they had like sixteen seventeen year olds, twelve 2079 01:52:47.840 --> 01:52:50.600 year olds. They had quite a few features in twelve 2080 01:52:50.640 --> 01:52:53.239 year olds. I mean, hell, they push for her after 2081 01:52:53.279 --> 01:52:55.840 that to be featured obviously naked. 2082 01:52:55.479 --> 01:52:57.279 In the Blue Lagoon as well. 2083 01:52:57.439 --> 01:53:01.359 Yep, and like I think she was what thirteen fourteen 2084 01:53:01.439 --> 01:53:05.159 years old and that like yeah. 2085 01:53:04.760 --> 01:53:06.239 And people just went along with it. 2086 01:53:06.279 --> 01:53:09.000 That's what kills me, is like they actually produced this 2087 01:53:09.800 --> 01:53:12.159 and just didn't say anything. 2088 01:53:12.199 --> 01:53:13.960 She her mother was okay with this. 2089 01:53:14.199 --> 01:53:15.960 Yeah, we're gonna get to that. So for those that 2090 01:53:16.039 --> 01:53:18.119 don't know, and I've talked about it in passing a 2091 01:53:18.119 --> 01:53:20.279 few times, let's break this down. And all this was 2092 01:53:20.319 --> 01:53:23.159 done not only with Hugh Hefner's approval and thumbs up. 2093 01:53:23.520 --> 01:53:25.439 He was the one that was pushing it. So let's 2094 01:53:25.439 --> 01:53:29.439 talk about it here. When artists Collier Shore sublet Prince's 2095 01:53:29.439 --> 01:53:31.960 studio in the nineteen eighties, the photograph was hanging in 2096 01:53:32.039 --> 01:53:36.079 the hallway. Quote this dude had a picture of a 2097 01:53:36.159 --> 01:53:39.000 naked ten year old in the hallway of his studio. 2098 01:53:39.119 --> 01:53:43.079 The quote unquote artist the photographer. But let's talk about it. 2099 01:53:43.479 --> 01:53:47.119 I always thought that it was a perverse picture, and 2100 01:53:47.239 --> 01:53:50.159 he said. He has since made a documentary about Prince 2101 01:53:50.479 --> 01:53:54.720 and befriended Shields when she photographed the actor's model last 2102 01:53:54.760 --> 01:53:58.399 year for Interview magazine. Quote, I found it really disturbing. 2103 01:53:58.439 --> 01:54:01.399 But my impression always was that Richard made the piece 2104 01:54:01.479 --> 01:54:04.760 because it was disturbing. It tells you everything about what 2105 01:54:04.800 --> 01:54:10.359 we fear and desire. Yeah, maybe for some people. Prince 2106 01:54:10.439 --> 01:54:14.520 shorttells has never made has never met Shields. Intent on 2107 01:54:14.640 --> 01:54:19.399 questioning notions of authorship and originality. He rephotographed an existing 2108 01:54:19.479 --> 01:54:23.079 image that had already inspired two years of legal debate. 2109 01:54:23.479 --> 01:54:26.880 The original picture, for which Shields was paid four hundred 2110 01:54:26.920 --> 01:54:30.520 and fifty dollars four hundred and fifty dollars for this 2111 01:54:30.520 --> 01:54:32.239 ten year old to be naked in a magazine for 2112 01:54:32.279 --> 01:54:36.640 grown menem was taken by fashion photographer Gary Gross in 2113 01:54:36.760 --> 01:54:41.199 nineteen seventy five for a Playboy publication titled Sugar and Spice. 2114 01:54:41.680 --> 01:54:44.479 It was one of a dozen images of Shields designed, 2115 01:54:44.720 --> 01:54:48.800 according to Gross, to reveal the not so latent sexuality 2116 01:54:49.279 --> 01:54:56.279 of the pre pubescent child. That's I'm sorry, yes, I 2117 01:54:56.319 --> 01:54:57.840 know if you threw up in your mouth a little bit, 2118 01:54:57.920 --> 01:55:00.840 just now, that's the correct response. Good cult members out 2119 01:55:00.880 --> 01:55:04.840 there listening. I'm very sorry, but here we are. Though 2120 01:55:04.840 --> 01:55:08.520 the pictures were taken with her consent, in nineteen eighty one, 2121 01:55:08.840 --> 01:55:13.000 Shield's mother sued Gross on the grounds that his continuing 2122 01:55:13.159 --> 01:55:17.079 sale of them was damaging to her daughter's reputation, and 2123 01:55:17.119 --> 01:55:20.600 she obtained a provisional band on their further use. So 2124 01:55:20.680 --> 01:55:23.880 the mother who gave the thumbs up later sued the dude. 2125 01:55:25.000 --> 01:55:29.039 But okay. By then, Shields, who began modeling at eleven months, 2126 01:55:29.159 --> 01:55:33.600 had achieved national notoriety. She starred as a child prostitute 2127 01:55:33.640 --> 01:55:37.680 in Lewis Mal's nineteen seventy eight film Pretty Baby, which 2128 01:55:37.720 --> 01:55:42.319 included a scene in which her virginity is auctioned. And 2129 01:55:42.359 --> 01:55:47.000 in nineteen eighty she starred in Richard Avedon's pro blah 2130 01:55:47.000 --> 01:55:50.960 blah blah provocative advertising campaign for Calvin Klein jeans. 2131 01:55:51.479 --> 01:55:53.039 Yeah, which was also pretty bad too. 2132 01:55:53.199 --> 01:55:55.039 Yeah, she says, you know what comes between me and 2133 01:55:55.079 --> 01:56:00.920 my Calvins? Nothing. She was fifteen years old, and she 2134 01:56:01.079 --> 01:56:03.399 asked us in an ad that was censored by American 2135 01:56:03.479 --> 01:56:09.119 TV networks. So like, okay, just so we're all on 2136 01:56:09.239 --> 01:56:13.720 the same page. This poor girl by her mother. Her 2137 01:56:13.720 --> 01:56:17.960 mother was pushing her into these positions to be I 2138 01:56:17.960 --> 01:56:20.920 would say, taken advantage of at the highest levels. 2139 01:56:21.399 --> 01:56:23.359 International signed off of this. 2140 01:56:23.760 --> 01:56:28.199 Yeah, she because of the the laws, the mom had 2141 01:56:28.239 --> 01:56:31.319 to be present in all these things. A mother signed 2142 01:56:31.359 --> 01:56:35.520 off on her child being seen or starring as a 2143 01:56:35.600 --> 01:56:40.079 child prostitute in a film where her virginity was auctioned 2144 01:56:40.119 --> 01:56:44.439 off the Yeah. This was three years after she had 2145 01:56:44.479 --> 01:56:49.800 been featured in Playboy. And it's just like Jesus Christ, woman, 2146 01:56:49.920 --> 01:56:53.800 somebody get this child away from this mother. So Gross's 2147 01:56:53.880 --> 01:56:57.319 lawyers argued that this photographs or his photographs could not 2148 01:56:57.479 --> 01:57:00.720 further damage Shields reputation because since as they were taken, 2149 01:57:01.119 --> 01:57:04.119 she had made a profitable career as a young vamp 2150 01:57:04.199 --> 01:57:08.760 and a harlot, a seasoned sexual veteran, and a provocative 2151 01:57:09.000 --> 01:57:13.560 child woman, an erotic and sensual sex symbol, the Lolita 2152 01:57:13.680 --> 01:57:19.920 of her generation. That's a direct quote. The judge concurred, 2153 01:57:20.840 --> 01:57:26.439 and while praising the pictures quote sultry sensual appeal. I'm 2154 01:57:26.439 --> 01:57:28.279 gonna say that one more time, just everybody understands what 2155 01:57:28.279 --> 01:57:32.560 the fuck I just said. The judge agreed with the fact, 2156 01:57:32.720 --> 01:57:35.640 with what he was saying that, oh Brookshields. Oh, she's 2157 01:57:35.680 --> 01:57:39.560 a young vamp and harlot, a seasoned sexual veteran, provocative 2158 01:57:39.640 --> 01:57:43.359 child woman, erotic sex symbol, the Lolita of her generation. 2159 01:57:43.479 --> 01:57:46.840 And he agreed and praised the pictures the ten year 2160 01:57:46.840 --> 01:57:52.359 old naked girl the sultry sexual appealed and ruled that 2161 01:57:52.439 --> 01:57:57.239 Gross was not a pornographer. Quote. They have no erotic 2162 01:57:57.279 --> 01:58:02.520 appeal except to possibly perverse minds. After the judge just 2163 01:58:02.560 --> 01:58:08.039 said that, he praised the sultry sensual appeal. What the 2164 01:58:08.079 --> 01:58:09.319 fuck are we talking about? 2165 01:58:10.520 --> 01:58:11.600 Yeah, Oh my god. 2166 01:58:12.079 --> 01:58:15.760 That decision was overturned by an appeals court, thank god, 2167 01:58:16.399 --> 01:58:19.359 But in nineteen eighty three, the original verdict in Gross's 2168 01:58:19.399 --> 01:58:25.199 favor was upheiled. Yeah, So Prince appropriated Gross's image later 2169 01:58:25.239 --> 01:58:30.439 that year, renaming it Spiritual America after a nineteen twenty 2170 01:58:30.439 --> 01:58:35.199 three pictured of a gelded horse midriff in genitals beside 2171 01:58:35.199 --> 01:58:39.159 the point, and exhibited it anonymously in a rented shop 2172 01:58:39.159 --> 01:58:42.880 front in New York's Lower East Side. He later explained 2173 01:58:42.880 --> 01:58:45.920 that the two year legal debate about Gross's image and 2174 01:58:45.920 --> 01:58:50.279 the final ruling against censorship had made him feel patriotic 2175 01:58:51.239 --> 01:58:55.479 direct quote. Prince enshrined it as a kind of coda 2176 01:58:55.640 --> 01:58:59.680 to celebrate freedom of expression. A naked ten year old girl. 2177 01:59:01.159 --> 01:59:01.840 Well yeah. 2178 01:59:01.840 --> 01:59:04.039 He also went on later in like two thousand and 2179 01:59:04.159 --> 01:59:07.479 nine and said that like this was like his best work, 2180 01:59:08.039 --> 01:59:10.760 like it's been the most famous photo that he's ever 2181 01:59:10.840 --> 01:59:14.000 taken in still to this day, and that it wasn't 2182 01:59:14.000 --> 01:59:16.159 supposed to be porn. It was just supposed to be 2183 01:59:16.560 --> 01:59:21.520 a woman looking sexy. A woman looking sexy as you 2184 01:59:21.640 --> 01:59:24.199 have the most amount of makeup you can possibly put 2185 01:59:24.239 --> 01:59:26.760 on a ten year old and have her trying to 2186 01:59:26.880 --> 01:59:29.560 present herself as a woman at ten. 2187 01:59:30.359 --> 01:59:35.399 Yeah, glistened up, makeup, oil, the whole nine. Yeah, that's 2188 01:59:35.439 --> 01:59:39.239 not what it's meant to be. It's expression, obviously, and 2189 01:59:39.279 --> 01:59:44.920 the judge concurred, m hm, direct quote. Brookshields didn't have 2190 01:59:45.000 --> 01:59:48.520 a problem making that picture because she was play acting 2191 01:59:48.560 --> 01:59:50.640 in front of the camera and that's what she does. 2192 01:59:51.319 --> 01:59:53.039 I don't think she ever felt like she was a 2193 01:59:53.119 --> 01:59:55.920 victim of his camera. I think she felt like she 2194 01:59:56.000 --> 01:59:58.760 was a victim of his greed and to some extent, 2195 01:59:58.800 --> 02:00:01.439 a victim of her mother's p judgment. I think she 2196 02:00:01.600 --> 02:00:04.920 was happy when Richard took the picture and made something 2197 02:00:04.960 --> 02:00:06.880 of it because it was a big fuck you to 2198 02:00:06.960 --> 02:00:11.840 Gary Gross. Yeah. I don't think so, but let's continue. 2199 02:00:12.640 --> 02:00:15.600 Not keen to embark on another expensive legal case. When 2200 02:00:15.640 --> 02:00:17.960 Prince asked for permission to feature the work in his 2201 02:00:18.079 --> 02:00:20.960 nineteen ninety two show at the Whitney Museum in New York, 2202 02:00:21.359 --> 02:00:24.960 Gross settled for two thousand dollars offered by Prince's lawyer. 2203 02:00:25.640 --> 02:00:28.239 The photograph was the title work for princes two thousand 2204 02:00:28.239 --> 02:00:32.399 and seven retrospective at the Gunningheim in New York, where 2205 02:00:32.399 --> 02:00:38.159 it appeared without incident. Gross, seventy one years old, continues 2206 02:00:38.199 --> 02:00:41.680 to exercise his right to sell pictures of Shields, though 2207 02:00:41.760 --> 02:00:44.760 eBay prevented him from auctioning prints of them on the site. 2208 02:00:44.840 --> 02:00:48.399 Thank god. He is now a dog photographer and trainer 2209 02:00:48.479 --> 02:00:52.880 in New York. He goes from this celebrated photographer and 2210 02:00:52.920 --> 02:00:55.920 all that to being a dog trainer. In January two 2211 02:00:55.960 --> 02:00:58.880 thousand and eight, one of Prince's pictures, an untitled image 2212 02:00:58.880 --> 02:01:02.239 of a cowboy, sold for three point four million, the 2213 02:01:02.239 --> 02:01:11.119 most expensive photograph ever sold at auction. Wow. Yeah, so 2214 02:01:11.800 --> 02:01:16.199 just the entire thing is absolutely disgusting, y'all, this poor girl, 2215 02:01:16.239 --> 02:01:18.119 and you could read more about it if you want to. 2216 02:01:18.439 --> 02:01:21.600 I'm not really too keen to do that myself. But 2217 02:01:22.800 --> 02:01:26.239 this poor girl's mom not only signed off on the 2218 02:01:26.239 --> 02:01:30.399 picture going into a porn magazine, the acting job where 2219 02:01:30.439 --> 02:01:34.159 she was auctioned off for her virginity, the acting job 2220 02:01:34.199 --> 02:01:37.119 where she was also nude again Blue Lagoon right as 2221 02:01:37.119 --> 02:01:42.640 a yeah ago, all of this completely thumbed up by 2222 02:01:42.760 --> 02:01:46.359 mom only. And then keep in mind Brooks Shields actually 2223 02:01:46.399 --> 02:01:48.760 appeared on the cover of Playboy when she was in 2224 02:01:48.800 --> 02:01:50.560 her twenties, so like it. 2225 02:01:50.760 --> 02:01:53.760 Yeah, god, it is so fucked up. 2226 02:01:54.279 --> 02:01:57.039 But this, oh yeah, the one where she was actually 2227 02:01:57.159 --> 02:01:59.640 like the Pretty Baby or whatever movie. It was, Oh 2228 02:01:59.680 --> 02:02:02.840 my gosh, she actually has to, like pretty much in 2229 02:02:03.079 --> 02:02:07.319 almost nude seduce a man that's like in his late thirties. 2230 02:02:07.640 --> 02:02:10.680 Yeah, that's and like they were just like. 2231 02:02:10.680 --> 02:02:14.920 Oh, it's totally okay, she's just acting, right, She's just acting. 2232 02:02:15.399 --> 02:02:16.680 So it's uh it. 2233 02:02:17.560 --> 02:02:20.319 Talking more about the La tunnels and the ones going 2234 02:02:20.399 --> 02:02:23.840 under the Playboy mansion, I am of the belief, good 2235 02:02:23.840 --> 02:02:25.920 cult members, and you make your own judgment here that 2236 02:02:26.039 --> 02:02:29.119 not only did Hugh Hefner have tunnels that were connected 2237 02:02:29.159 --> 02:02:33.479 to very prominent actors in Hollywood, not only did he 2238 02:02:33.520 --> 02:02:35.600 have tunnels leading out to certain spots so that he 2239 02:02:35.640 --> 02:02:39.119 could bring in pimps and uh, you know, hookers to 2240 02:02:39.319 --> 02:02:42.119 the house to do pig nights. I am also of 2241 02:02:42.159 --> 02:02:46.279 the belief that he smuggled in and trafficked young children 2242 02:02:46.439 --> 02:02:51.279 into the mansion to be used as blackmail against his enemies, 2243 02:02:51.600 --> 02:02:55.680 like he literally admitted he was doing. So that's just me. 2244 02:02:56.279 --> 02:02:59.520 You make your own judgment, but yes, these tunnels absolutely exist. 2245 02:03:00.119 --> 02:03:04.640 Continuing onward, Raven Lee showed this video. This is from 2246 02:03:05.199 --> 02:03:09.039 one of the girls that was an early early accuser 2247 02:03:09.119 --> 02:03:12.560 of p Diddy and everybody thought she was crazy two thousand's. 2248 02:03:12.600 --> 02:03:18.760 Also, she is allegedly tupas so apparently one of his 2249 02:03:18.960 --> 02:03:25.279 daughters potentially. But everybody at least understands her conversation about Diddy. 2250 02:03:25.760 --> 02:03:27.920 Even Kat Williams has brought her up and stuff. 2251 02:03:28.079 --> 02:03:30.920 Yeah, she's been out here shouting on the rooftops about 2252 02:03:30.960 --> 02:03:34.039 the celebrities being fucked up for twenty six plus years. 2253 02:03:34.119 --> 02:03:37.479 So everybody thought she was crazy. Everybody wanted to write 2254 02:03:37.479 --> 02:03:40.479 her off until the shit came out. Let's watch this. 2255 02:03:41.880 --> 02:03:43.439 Warehouses underground. 2256 02:03:44.720 --> 02:03:48.560 There's actual homes underground. 2257 02:03:49.159 --> 02:03:51.520 People built these tunnels, and they built. 2258 02:03:51.319 --> 02:03:52.159 Them for decades. 2259 02:03:53.920 --> 02:03:57.000 There's a lot in elite celebrities. Then go down there 2260 02:03:57.000 --> 02:04:00.279 for parties. 2261 02:04:03.520 --> 02:04:11.119 Wow, satanic rituals underneath the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California. 2262 02:04:12.800 --> 02:04:14.239 I was there for a cock party. 2263 02:04:14.960 --> 02:04:19.600 We walked through the museum through the garden area and 2264 02:04:19.760 --> 02:04:28.359 employees led us to underground tunnels. We had to take an. 2265 02:04:28.239 --> 02:04:34.439 Elevator and stairs. We had to be led. There is 2266 02:04:34.479 --> 02:04:35.039 no way that. 2267 02:04:35.000 --> 02:04:37.960 You can just walk into a tunnel. The entrances and 2268 02:04:38.000 --> 02:04:39.880 the exits are in your face. But there's no way 2269 02:04:39.880 --> 02:04:42.840 that you can just walk through tunnels. You'll get stuck, 2270 02:04:43.359 --> 02:04:46.520 You'll go deeper and deeper and you won't be able 2271 02:04:46.560 --> 02:04:49.640 to come back out because it's hard because the tunnels 2272 02:04:50.199 --> 02:04:54.039 run all different directions for miles and miles and miles 2273 02:04:54.039 --> 02:04:56.479 and miles, so if you go down the wrong one, 2274 02:04:56.720 --> 02:04:59.600 you'll get stuck, and it's confusing to turn back around. 2275 02:04:59.319 --> 02:05:01.319 And get back to our you're going, So you have 2276 02:05:01.399 --> 02:05:02.319 to be lead in and out. 2277 02:05:03.039 --> 02:05:05.439 I think people assume that when you get underground, it's 2278 02:05:05.520 --> 02:05:10.399 just this dirt, and you keep going deeper and there's 2279 02:05:10.720 --> 02:05:12.239 more dirt and then there's cages. 2280 02:05:12.800 --> 02:05:16.880 No, no sow. It works. 2281 02:05:16.880 --> 02:05:21.960 The Playboy Mansions, the Playboy Mansions. 2282 02:05:21.000 --> 02:05:24.359 I met some really elite people when I was there. 2283 02:05:26.279 --> 02:05:31.520 I had to do jobs with some elite celebrities. 2284 02:05:32.279 --> 02:05:34.880 I'm a psychomedium, so I actually like every time I 2285 02:05:34.920 --> 02:05:37.960 walk past this house. And obviously the Playboy Mansions are there, 2286 02:05:37.960 --> 02:05:39.840 and we know about the tunnels that connect from the 2287 02:05:39.840 --> 02:05:41.039 play to here. 2288 02:05:41.159 --> 02:05:44.399 I'm sure they fact there are places that connect. 2289 02:05:44.439 --> 02:05:46.079 So what kind of energy? What kind of energy are 2290 02:05:46.079 --> 02:05:46.600 you picking up? 2291 02:05:46.920 --> 02:05:51.239 It's like there's just like darkness. I mean it's in general, 2292 02:05:51.319 --> 02:05:58.239 like there's always I've always had weird feelings on this street. Yeah, well, 2293 02:05:58.279 --> 02:06:00.239 the play ends is down there, so I always out 2294 02:06:00.239 --> 02:06:03.079 of the Playboy mansion. It wasn't until probably a year 2295 02:06:03.079 --> 02:06:04.640 ago that I realized this from Titty's house. 2296 02:06:07.119 --> 02:06:10.840 Can not believe what went on underage Playboy magazine. Of course, 2297 02:06:10.880 --> 02:06:13.880 it has just discovered blueprints for a network of tunnels 2298 02:06:13.880 --> 02:06:17.079 beneath the mansion that supposedly led to the homes of 2299 02:06:17.199 --> 02:06:26.359 Jack Nicholson, Warren Baby, James Kahn, and Kirk Douglass. Now 2300 02:06:26.560 --> 02:06:29.920 dig this a photo from the late seventies allegedly showing 2301 02:06:29.960 --> 02:06:32.520 an excavation in progress beneath the. 2302 02:06:32.560 --> 02:06:38.840 Mansion, which we just talked about. So absolutely, and again, 2303 02:06:39.520 --> 02:06:43.680 is it also crazy to just ponder that one of 2304 02:06:43.720 --> 02:06:47.279 these tunnels from the Playboy mansion also led to Diddy's house. 2305 02:06:47.760 --> 02:06:51.159 Seeing as how I was like, right there, I'm just 2306 02:06:51.159 --> 02:06:52.079 don't help it. 2307 02:06:53.119 --> 02:06:54.840 It's not a weird thing, I'll say that. 2308 02:06:55.279 --> 02:06:59.640 Yeah, it's especially when trading girls and bringing young children 2309 02:06:59.680 --> 02:07:01.000 in doing all this stuff. 2310 02:07:01.000 --> 02:07:03.800 I mean, we know that they were doing all sorts of. 2311 02:07:03.760 --> 02:07:06.920 Hainous shit to the young kids that are in the industry, 2312 02:07:07.439 --> 02:07:11.560 let alone what they were doing and bringing in homeless people, 2313 02:07:11.680 --> 02:07:16.199 homeless children, sex trafficked, you know, children, women, boys, I 2314 02:07:16.239 --> 02:07:20.199 mean everything. So, yep, the tunnels have been utilized for 2315 02:07:20.279 --> 02:07:21.640 their nefarious purposes. 2316 02:07:21.720 --> 02:07:26.760 They absolutely have. So now we get to this viral 2317 02:07:27.119 --> 02:07:29.239 thing that went about about a year ago, give or 2318 02:07:29.239 --> 02:07:32.159 take maybe two years. Actually, I'm looking at the date 2319 02:07:32.199 --> 02:07:34.720 on this. It was twenty twenty four in November, where 2320 02:07:34.800 --> 02:07:39.560 there was this barista that claimed that he was working 2321 02:07:39.680 --> 02:07:44.079 at the Starbucks that is underground in LA And just 2322 02:07:44.079 --> 02:07:47.319 to refresh everybody's memory of what this guy was talking about, 2323 02:07:47.399 --> 02:07:48.880 let's go ahead and listen to him. 2324 02:07:48.880 --> 02:07:51.239 While driving in Los Angeles. How come you've never seen 2325 02:07:51.359 --> 02:07:55.600 like Will Smith stuck in traffic on the four or five. Yeah, 2326 02:07:55.640 --> 02:07:57.560 I've never seen a one percenter just in their car 2327 02:07:57.640 --> 02:07:58.279 stuck in traffic. 2328 02:07:58.279 --> 02:07:58.960 Why is that? 2329 02:07:58.960 --> 02:08:02.720 That's because they're there's a series of intricate tunnels underneath 2330 02:08:02.720 --> 02:08:07.760 Los Angeles known as the Actor Bart. I'm not kidding. Like, 2331 02:08:08.119 --> 02:08:11.880 they get access points to move through the city without 2332 02:08:11.920 --> 02:08:14.199 ever having to be in traffic. You can come up 2333 02:08:14.199 --> 02:08:20.119 in LAX, you can pop up at Dodger Stadium. Underneath 2334 02:08:20.199 --> 02:08:24.800 there in those tunnels is Starbucks is set up at 2335 02:08:24.800 --> 02:08:29.479 different locations to allow them to get coffees while they're driving. 2336 02:08:29.680 --> 02:08:32.479 All of them Seinfeld. 2337 02:08:32.960 --> 02:08:34.319 You've seen Seinfeld down there? 2338 02:08:34.359 --> 02:08:38.720 No, No, I've seen Seinfeld down there. Dude, Almond milk 2339 02:08:38.800 --> 02:08:39.960 latte two shots? 2340 02:08:40.439 --> 02:08:40.800 Wow? 2341 02:08:41.000 --> 02:08:41.239 Yeah? 2342 02:08:41.399 --> 02:08:43.359 Is he a good tipper? They don't have to pay. 2343 02:08:43.720 --> 02:08:47.920 So this has been underneath Los Angeles for a few 2344 02:08:48.000 --> 02:08:49.279 years now, I mean. 2345 02:08:49.399 --> 02:08:50.520 How long has this been there for? 2346 02:08:50.720 --> 02:08:53.960 I mean it predates me. It seems like the city 2347 02:08:54.039 --> 02:08:55.960 was built on top of it. So, I mean, I 2348 02:08:55.960 --> 02:08:58.399 think this goes all the way back to the twenties. 2349 02:08:58.119 --> 02:09:01.279 That this doesn't seem almost this is crazy. 2350 02:09:01.359 --> 02:09:04.319 I imagine how I sound saying it to people. 2351 02:09:05.479 --> 02:09:08.600 So he's also brought up that it goes to Dodger Stadium, 2352 02:09:08.640 --> 02:09:12.239 which goes back to another article we read already about 2353 02:09:12.279 --> 02:09:15.159 tunnels under Dodger Stadium connecting to the rest of the city. 2354 02:09:16.079 --> 02:09:18.039 Yep, the Lizard people tunnels. 2355 02:09:18.319 --> 02:09:22.600 Absolutely, So is there at least that crumb of truth 2356 02:09:22.680 --> 02:09:25.039 to what he is saying or is he actually speaking 2357 02:09:25.079 --> 02:09:29.159 on behalf of first person account? And honestly, that doesn't 2358 02:09:29.199 --> 02:09:32.079 shock me that there's tunnels that even if these are 2359 02:09:32.159 --> 02:09:34.800 older tunnels that were made for the whatevers and whatevers, 2360 02:09:34.800 --> 02:09:37.479 but these days the actors use them to stay out 2361 02:09:37.479 --> 02:09:40.920 of the public eye. Yeah, I could buy that absolutely. 2362 02:09:40.960 --> 02:09:43.920 And of course Starbucks are just gonna pay their employees 2363 02:09:44.000 --> 02:09:46.920 like a higher rate to work underground, to give the 2364 02:09:47.000 --> 02:09:51.319 celebrities and the wealthy elites their morning Joe on the 2365 02:09:51.319 --> 02:09:53.159 way to the studio or wherever they're shooting. Yeah, that 2366 02:09:53.600 --> 02:09:54.760 checks out to me personally. 2367 02:09:55.760 --> 02:09:58.159 Yeah, mean too. I mean it's an interesting theory. 2368 02:09:58.439 --> 02:10:02.000 But if what the is, If what people believe is 2369 02:10:02.000 --> 02:10:06.399 true about the old knowledge about the tunnels in the city, 2370 02:10:06.399 --> 02:10:08.520 and we know that there's a lease expansions and there's 2371 02:10:08.520 --> 02:10:11.199 all sorts of stuff going on with the sewer tunnels, 2372 02:10:12.359 --> 02:10:14.159 why wouldn't they utilize this? 2373 02:10:14.319 --> 02:10:16.960 But who knows? It could be very much just a 2374 02:10:16.960 --> 02:10:19.439 bullshit claim that something just made up. 2375 02:10:20.279 --> 02:10:23.760 Oh, I mean I agree, Jesus, Oh what that was about? Now, 2376 02:10:23.800 --> 02:10:27.239 I would absolutely agree with you. And so let's talk 2377 02:10:27.279 --> 02:10:30.359 more about this here. Secret Los Angeles, that's the name 2378 02:10:30.359 --> 02:10:33.880 of this or the publication rumors are true. There was 2379 02:10:33.960 --> 02:10:37.640 a secret celebrity tunnel under LA and it's not the 2380 02:10:37.680 --> 02:10:42.920 only one in town. The suspicion of many and an 2381 02:10:42.960 --> 02:10:47.199 open secret has now been confirmed, shedding light on one 2382 02:10:47.239 --> 02:10:51.159 of LA's biggest urban legends. So Los Angeles, with its 2383 02:10:51.239 --> 02:10:55.159 rich history and statues. As the world's entertainment capital, is 2384 02:10:55.199 --> 02:10:58.600 the setting for countless urban legends of all kinds, from 2385 02:10:58.640 --> 02:11:01.800 the lizard people to the disappearances at the Cecil Hotel. 2386 02:11:02.279 --> 02:11:05.680 The city is full of stories of questionable truth. Perhaps 2387 02:11:05.680 --> 02:11:08.479 one of the most famous is the decades old rumor 2388 02:11:08.600 --> 02:11:11.479 dating back to the forties about a supposed tunnel connecting 2389 02:11:11.479 --> 02:11:14.920 the world famous celebrity hideout, the Chateau Marmot, to the 2390 02:11:15.039 --> 02:11:18.920 night club The Players. Okay, the hidden tunnel that linked 2391 02:11:18.960 --> 02:11:22.239 Hollywood's elite hotspots. So this is called the Pink Taco, 2392 02:11:22.520 --> 02:11:27.119 which is hilarious. It's a place on Sunset, according to 2393 02:11:27.359 --> 02:11:31.439 an article published very recently by sf Gate, I think 2394 02:11:31.439 --> 02:11:34.720 at San Francisco Gape, there actually was a secret tunnel 2395 02:11:34.720 --> 02:11:37.600 connecting the hotel to a b A building down the 2396 02:11:37.680 --> 02:11:41.479 hill on Sunset. The underground passage was supposed to help 2397 02:11:41.520 --> 02:11:44.960 celebrities to visit The Players. It's a lively club owned 2398 02:11:44.960 --> 02:11:48.800 by the filmmaker Preston Sturgis, featuring guests like Howard Hughes 2399 02:11:48.800 --> 02:11:53.119 and Lauren Bacall on stealth mode. Essentially. In twenty twelve, 2400 02:11:53.199 --> 02:11:56.159 a group of construction workers found what was left of 2401 02:11:56.199 --> 02:11:59.600 the tunnel while fixing up the restaurant Pink Taco, which 2402 02:11:59.720 --> 02:12:03.600 was the old Players building, confirming the story after decades 2403 02:12:03.600 --> 02:12:05.800 of mystery. The tunnel had been closed off by the 2404 02:12:05.840 --> 02:12:08.560 city years ago, so no one knows for sure where 2405 02:12:08.560 --> 02:12:11.720 it started, where it ended, or which celebrities used it. 2406 02:12:12.079 --> 02:12:14.439 I gotta say Colin bullshit on it, but all right. 2407 02:12:15.239 --> 02:12:18.039 The Players shut down in nineteen fifty three, and the 2408 02:12:18.039 --> 02:12:21.279 building later became home to popular nightclubs, including the well 2409 02:12:21.319 --> 02:12:25.560 known Roxbury, which if you're a fan of you know, 2410 02:12:25.800 --> 02:12:28.159 old School SNL and will Faro movies, you would know 2411 02:12:28.319 --> 02:12:31.399 night at the Roxbury anyway, even though you can't walk 2412 02:12:31.399 --> 02:12:34.479 through it anymore. The tunnel's discovery adds to the mystery 2413 02:12:34.520 --> 02:12:37.319 of the Chateau Marmon and keeps the spirit of old 2414 02:12:37.319 --> 02:12:40.640 Hollywood secrets alive. But that's not all there is, in fact, 2415 02:12:40.680 --> 02:12:44.000 the underground network beneath la and you see right here 2416 02:12:44.039 --> 02:12:47.680 it's just a wide tunnel that is meant to be 2417 02:12:47.800 --> 02:12:51.479 driven down. They even have a sign saying sound horn 2418 02:12:51.880 --> 02:12:53.800 when you come up on it, because there's no mirrors 2419 02:12:53.840 --> 02:12:55.600 or anything to let you know somebody's about to t 2420 02:12:55.760 --> 02:13:00.640 bone you anyway. In late twenty twenty four talk video 2421 02:13:00.680 --> 02:13:04.560 by comedian Stephen Randolph went viral after actor Billy Posley 2422 02:13:04.760 --> 02:13:08.600 or Posley jokingly claimed that LA celebrities could skip traffic 2423 02:13:08.600 --> 02:13:12.239 by using hidden tunnels called the Actor Bond, complete with 2424 02:13:12.359 --> 02:13:15.479 a secret underground Starbucks where the coffee was free. The 2425 02:13:15.520 --> 02:13:18.279 story blew up online, but Snopes later confirmed that it 2426 02:13:18.319 --> 02:13:21.760 was pure satire and Starbucks itself denied the claim. For 2427 02:13:21.880 --> 02:13:25.640 the record, he went back on that podcast recently to 2428 02:13:25.880 --> 02:13:30.279 confirm more of the stories. Still, the very viral rumors 2429 02:13:30.279 --> 02:13:32.960 stuck struck a chord because it plays off something real. 2430 02:13:33.520 --> 02:13:36.800 LA does have historic underground tunnels dating back to the 2431 02:13:36.800 --> 02:13:40.800 Prohibition Area era. Rather once used for moving liquor and 2432 02:13:40.880 --> 02:13:44.439 other illsted activities, these tunnels stretch roughly eleven miles beneath 2433 02:13:44.520 --> 02:13:48.279 DTLA Downtown LM and used to be hidden passageways to 2434 02:13:48.319 --> 02:13:51.000 speak easies like the basement of the King Eddie Saloon. 2435 02:13:51.479 --> 02:13:54.760 But beyond their nightlife history, the tunnels also connected key 2436 02:13:54.840 --> 02:13:58.760 government buildings such as the Whole of Justice, Maclaire, Shortage, 2437 02:13:58.800 --> 02:14:05.399 Fultse Criminal Justice, and the Stanley Mosque Courthouse. Wow, all right, 2438 02:14:05.479 --> 02:14:07.800 let's see if I could actually know there's no sound 2439 02:14:07.840 --> 02:14:12.119 on this video. Well that sucks anyway. In the fifties, 2440 02:14:12.159 --> 02:14:15.159 the tunnels were used to move high profile criminals during trials, 2441 02:14:15.439 --> 02:14:19.600 including notorious mobster Mickey Cohen. They use They also served 2442 02:14:19.640 --> 02:14:23.800 to transport valuable assets without public knowledge, like during Operation 2443 02:14:23.960 --> 02:14:28.119 Midnight in nineteen sixty, when one billion dollars in cash 2444 02:14:28.439 --> 02:14:31.720 from property tax payments was moved to the new Hall 2445 02:14:31.880 --> 02:14:36.960 of Administration, Operation Midnight nineteen sixty. If anybody wants to 2446 02:14:37.000 --> 02:14:38.920 look that one up, go for it. But it's true. 2447 02:14:38.960 --> 02:14:42.319 They did move a billion dollars in cash in nineteen sixty. 2448 02:14:42.359 --> 02:14:44.279 A billion dollars is a little bit more than what 2449 02:14:44.359 --> 02:14:49.079 it is today, you know. Yeah, And they moved it underground, right, 2450 02:14:49.239 --> 02:14:51.479 just to keep it out of the possibility of being stolen. 2451 02:14:52.000 --> 02:14:54.840 Parts of the tunnels were also used in filming locations 2452 02:14:54.920 --> 02:14:57.479 during the Golden Era of Hollywood for movies such as 2453 02:14:57.520 --> 02:15:01.680 Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard, and Kiss Me Deadly. This is 2454 02:15:01.720 --> 02:15:05.800 also around the timeframe when like the noir style murder 2455 02:15:05.840 --> 02:15:09.239 films started to get popular. The tunnels were used in 2456 02:15:09.239 --> 02:15:11.760 a lot of movie sets at this time. While most 2457 02:15:11.920 --> 02:15:15.640 entrances are now sealed, allegedly, it's believed that some tunnels 2458 02:15:15.680 --> 02:15:19.960 still serve as shortcuts for government workers. I would also 2459 02:15:20.000 --> 02:15:24.199 say for the celebrities, Yeah for sure. So with that 2460 02:15:24.319 --> 02:15:27.079 we go to the next conversation piece. There are tunnels 2461 02:15:27.119 --> 02:15:30.560 running underneath downtown LA, and here's how to find them. 2462 02:15:31.000 --> 02:15:33.119 And they have some of the similar images of like 2463 02:15:33.159 --> 02:15:36.479 soundhorn and stuff like this. In the heartbeat of downtown LA, 2464 02:15:36.560 --> 02:15:39.000 there's a series of tunnels running between buildings. I first 2465 02:15:39.079 --> 02:15:42.600 learned about the tunnels from Atlas Obscura, which noted that 2466 02:15:42.640 --> 02:15:47.119 they once used during the Prohibition to connect various basement speakeasies. 2467 02:15:47.319 --> 02:15:50.279 Apparently the tunnels eleven miles long. So this week I 2468 02:15:50.319 --> 02:15:53.720 set out to find them myself. After reading this YELP page, 2469 02:15:53.840 --> 02:15:56.640 I discovered I needed to find the door in the 2470 02:15:56.680 --> 02:15:59.600 picture to the left, which that's this one. Here it 2471 02:15:59.640 --> 02:16:04.720 says Los Angeles County Archives two two three shipping receiving. 2472 02:16:04.920 --> 02:16:08.640 Apparently this is the door and it's super innocuous, right, oh, 2473 02:16:08.800 --> 02:16:12.520 just shipping and receiving to the LA County Archives. Nothing 2474 02:16:12.520 --> 02:16:16.159 to see here. Apparently this is how you get there 2475 02:16:16.239 --> 02:16:19.119 to the LA County Hall of Records on the western 2476 02:16:19.119 --> 02:16:22.720 corner of Broadway and Temple. The Hall of Records itself 2477 02:16:23.159 --> 02:16:28.760 was designed by famous Modernist architecture Richard Neutra, and is 2478 02:16:28.800 --> 02:16:32.520 worth poking around for architecture buffs. Anyway, it turns out 2479 02:16:32.559 --> 02:16:34.600 the door is located on the south side of the building, 2480 02:16:34.680 --> 02:16:37.520 in a covered loading dock. When I arrived, I didn't 2481 02:16:37.520 --> 02:16:39.879 immediately see it, but I did see a couple of 2482 02:16:39.879 --> 02:16:42.760 people with decent cameras walking around looking at the building. 2483 02:16:43.159 --> 02:16:45.799 They seemed to be searching for something, and when I asked, 2484 02:16:45.520 --> 02:16:48.399 it turned out they too were looking for the tunnels. 2485 02:16:48.760 --> 02:16:51.559 Their names are Adrian and Holly, and when I showed 2486 02:16:51.559 --> 02:16:54.360 them a picture on Yelp, they immediately knew what door 2487 02:16:54.399 --> 02:16:56.840 it was. They hadn't tried it yet, however, because it 2488 02:16:56.879 --> 02:17:00.200 looked like a back entrance that wouldn't be public exactly, 2489 02:17:00.760 --> 02:17:04.000 but it is. In fact, According to a sign posted 2490 02:17:04.040 --> 02:17:08.840 on a nearby plaza, they tunnels. They tunnels. The tunnels 2491 02:17:08.879 --> 02:17:12.440 are public property and open daily. Here's the sign. It 2492 02:17:12.479 --> 02:17:16.920 says warning, this mall and pedestrian tunnels are public ways 2493 02:17:17.120 --> 02:17:20.120 of the County of Los Angeles. They are closed to 2494 02:17:20.239 --> 02:17:23.280 all users between the hours of eleven thirty pm and 2495 02:17:23.399 --> 02:17:26.840 six am. During the hours of usage, it shall be 2496 02:17:27.079 --> 02:17:30.120 unlawful to use these public ways in any of the 2497 02:17:30.159 --> 02:17:35.760 following manners. One to obstruct or unreasonably interfere with pedestrian traffic. 2498 02:17:36.079 --> 02:17:39.879 Two to sleep and important that they gave that one. 2499 02:17:40.200 --> 02:17:43.479 Three to loiter i e. To delay or linger with 2500 02:17:43.559 --> 02:17:45.920 no lawful purpose, and with the purpose of committing a 2501 02:17:45.920 --> 02:17:49.799 crime in the opportunity if the opportunity arises. Four to 2502 02:17:49.879 --> 02:17:53.920 leave baggage or any article of personal property. Violators will 2503 02:17:53.920 --> 02:17:55.799 be prosecuted to the folkstent of the law blup bah 2504 02:17:55.799 --> 02:17:59.360 ba bap a California Penal Code Section six four seven C. 2505 02:17:59.600 --> 02:18:03.920 And so this is an official government posting in one 2506 02:18:03.959 --> 02:18:07.079 of these tunnels that is completely hidden but in plain sight. 2507 02:18:08.000 --> 02:18:10.840 After walking through the door, Adrian Holly and I found 2508 02:18:10.840 --> 02:18:13.760 ourselves in what appeared to be a storage facility filled 2509 02:18:13.760 --> 02:18:16.639 with boxes of papers. It felt weird because we were 2510 02:18:16.639 --> 02:18:19.120 behind the scenes in a government building, but a few 2511 02:18:19.120 --> 02:18:21.559 people walked by and didn't seem to think twice about 2512 02:18:21.559 --> 02:18:24.799 coming across three strangers. In fact, before we got much further, 2513 02:18:25.120 --> 02:18:27.040 I asked the lady who was walking around where the 2514 02:18:27.040 --> 02:18:29.920 tunnels were. She helpfully pointed us in the right direction, 2515 02:18:30.440 --> 02:18:33.159 which was part of a surprising discovery I made over 2516 02:18:33.200 --> 02:18:36.200 the course of this outing, the tunnels are actively used 2517 02:18:36.200 --> 02:18:39.639 by workers in the area. They're relatively obscure and thus 2518 02:18:39.760 --> 02:18:44.719 interesting to find, but for small group of Angelinos, I 2519 02:18:44.760 --> 02:18:47.799 didn't know. That's what people from Los Angeles are called Angelino's. 2520 02:18:48.360 --> 02:18:51.399 They're also a part of daily life. In any case, 2521 02:18:51.440 --> 02:18:54.600 we walked by more boxes, a row of dumpsters, and 2522 02:18:54.639 --> 02:18:58.239 then finally found ourselves at the beginning of the actual tunnels. 2523 02:18:58.639 --> 02:19:02.479 The scene was one born of utilitarian design. Smooth concrete 2524 02:19:02.520 --> 02:19:05.360 and fluorescent lights made it feel halfway between a business 2525 02:19:05.360 --> 02:19:07.879 space and a bunker, with just a hint of that 2526 02:19:07.959 --> 02:19:11.079 eeriness you sometimes feel when you find an urban frontier 2527 02:19:11.799 --> 02:19:16.959 I mean Jesus. As we pressed on, several things stood out. First, 2528 02:19:17.280 --> 02:19:20.920 the tunnels became quite hot, presumably from heat to water 2529 02:19:21.000 --> 02:19:24.600 running through the pipes. The heat increased dramatically the deeper 2530 02:19:24.639 --> 02:19:29.120 we went. Yeah, you'll have that, and that's not the 2531 02:19:29.200 --> 02:19:32.040 end of this article. There we go. There's also not 2532 02:19:32.159 --> 02:19:35.079 much graffiti in the tunnels, which was surprising given the 2533 02:19:35.079 --> 02:19:38.399 amount of graffiti in La generally. I took this as 2534 02:19:38.520 --> 02:19:41.399 further evidence that the tunnels are both well used and 2535 02:19:42.319 --> 02:19:46.559 regularly maintained. And finally it got really noisy as we 2536 02:19:46.639 --> 02:19:50.079 went deeper. Eventually, the tunnels led us to a dead 2537 02:19:50.159 --> 02:19:55.120 end and a locked door curiosity. Curiously, even at the deepest, noisiest, 2538 02:19:55.159 --> 02:19:57.479 hottest part of the tunnels, there was still a young 2539 02:19:57.520 --> 02:20:01.040 woman walking around who seemed to be leaving work. Ultimately, 2540 02:20:01.440 --> 02:20:04.280 we turned around after taking some pictures and peering through 2541 02:20:04.319 --> 02:20:07.120 the gates that led to closed off tunnels. It would 2542 02:20:07.120 --> 02:20:09.399 have been cool to explore these areas, but what we 2543 02:20:09.479 --> 02:20:12.760 did see still offered an interesting glimpse into a little 2544 02:20:12.799 --> 02:20:15.639 known part of La past and present. For some images, 2545 02:20:15.680 --> 02:20:17.799 click through the gallery below, and if you're watching this 2546 02:20:17.879 --> 02:20:21.079 on Patreon, you'll be able to see the gallery of 2547 02:20:21.120 --> 02:20:24.760 the images taken by this explorer on this This is 2548 02:20:24.799 --> 02:20:29.280 from Jim Darren Pull the second shouts out to you, sir, 2549 02:20:30.239 --> 02:20:33.319 so again, the tunnels under La are not a myth. 2550 02:20:33.399 --> 02:20:36.479 They are not a theory being used by government employees 2551 02:20:36.479 --> 02:20:40.920 and actors. This is a fact. But also it is 2552 02:20:40.959 --> 02:20:45.639 not the latest tunnel that has ever been dug. Believe 2553 02:20:45.639 --> 02:20:50.399 it or not. Elon Musk has bored a new tunnel 2554 02:20:50.639 --> 02:20:54.760 under La. This is called the Hawthorn Test Tunnel. Okay, 2555 02:20:54.799 --> 02:20:58.159 this is from his boring company. It is a one 2556 02:20:58.239 --> 02:21:02.760 point one four mile tunnel in Hawthorne, California, intended for 2557 02:21:02.840 --> 02:21:07.920 testing tunneling and public transportation systems. Constructed between twenty sixteen 2558 02:21:07.920 --> 02:21:10.799 and twenty eighteen. It was a companied by a mile 2559 02:21:10.879 --> 02:21:15.680 long above ground tube on nearby Jack Northrop Avenue designed 2560 02:21:15.719 --> 02:21:19.440 for testing hyper loop and loop based transportation, which was 2561 02:21:19.559 --> 02:21:22.680 used for student competitions in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen 2562 02:21:22.719 --> 02:21:26.200 before being dismantled in twenty twenty two. So this single 2563 02:21:26.239 --> 02:21:29.840 boar tunnel was constructed using a fourteen foot diameter tunnel 2564 02:21:29.879 --> 02:21:34.479 boring machine, giving a finished twelve foot internal diameter. The 2565 02:21:34.600 --> 02:21:39.280 roadway has an asphalt surface with autonomous vehicle operation of 2566 02:21:39.319 --> 02:21:41.959 the Tesla Model three at speeds of ninety miles an 2567 02:21:41.959 --> 02:21:44.280 hour and up to one hundred and sixteen miles an 2568 02:21:44.280 --> 02:21:48.040 hour under human control. The boring company subsequently built the 2569 02:21:48.120 --> 02:21:52.959 Las Vegas Convention Center loop tunnel network. So he has 2570 02:21:53.040 --> 02:21:55.120 already shown that like, no, we can just bore under 2571 02:21:55.159 --> 02:21:57.600 cities and make these tunnels. It's no big deal. And 2572 02:21:57.639 --> 02:21:59.399 I also think that he's doing that to get Tomor's 2573 02:21:59.600 --> 02:22:02.879 conversation for later on things. But the point is that yes, 2574 02:22:02.959 --> 02:22:09.000 he also bore underneath Hawthorne, California, And I would argue that, yes, 2575 02:22:09.079 --> 02:22:13.559 this is a conversation within the LA Tunnel space. But also, 2576 02:22:14.440 --> 02:22:19.159 come to find out, Elon Musk's company is about to 2577 02:22:19.200 --> 02:22:22.799 try to connect New Orleans Convention Center to the Superdome. 2578 02:22:23.760 --> 02:22:26.840 What yeah, Now, why. 2579 02:22:26.719 --> 02:22:29.000 Would you put a tunnel in New Orleans of all 2580 02:22:29.040 --> 02:22:30.399 the places to put a tunnel. 2581 02:22:30.600 --> 02:22:34.920 This is a crazy flex for Elons. So here's the deal. 2582 02:22:34.959 --> 02:22:38.559 For anybody that doesn't know Katrina happened, why did it 2583 02:22:38.600 --> 02:22:40.440 happen in the way that it did. Yeah, the levee broke, 2584 02:22:40.479 --> 02:22:43.799 But New Orleans is a bowl. It is below The 2585 02:22:44.000 --> 02:22:47.799 entire city is below sea level. So this is why 2586 02:22:47.840 --> 02:22:51.120 anytime it rains, they have pump systems to pump the 2587 02:22:51.200 --> 02:22:54.559 rainwater out and into the Mississippi River and into the Delta. 2588 02:22:55.559 --> 02:22:58.959 So for some person, this is also why cemeteries. You 2589 02:22:59.000 --> 02:23:01.159 have to bury your dead above ground. That's why we 2590 02:23:01.200 --> 02:23:04.159 have mausoleums all over New Orleans. You can't dig. You 2591 02:23:04.200 --> 02:23:06.799 dig two inches into the ground, you're gonna hit groundwater. 2592 02:23:07.000 --> 02:23:12.200 It's put a tunnel. That's insane for. 2593 02:23:12.159 --> 02:23:15.040 Anybody that doesn't know the Convention Center to the Superdome. 2594 02:23:15.079 --> 02:23:18.680 It's not a very long jaunt, but it is also 2595 02:23:19.000 --> 02:23:22.079 really close to the water at the convention center area. 2596 02:23:22.959 --> 02:23:27.040 And doing this, you're going not you're going below below 2597 02:23:27.120 --> 02:23:31.399 sea level in a place that holds water. If he 2598 02:23:31.479 --> 02:23:34.639 is below now street, yeah yeah, if he is able 2599 02:23:34.680 --> 02:23:36.159 to successfully do this. 2600 02:23:36.840 --> 02:23:39.760 That is I would never drive in it a day 2601 02:23:39.760 --> 02:23:40.319 in my life. 2602 02:23:40.399 --> 02:23:43.399 Oh absolutely not. This news article is from May twenty 2603 02:23:43.440 --> 02:23:44.479 seventh of this year. 2604 02:23:45.159 --> 02:23:48.280 You just waiting to die, basically, you literally waiting to die, 2605 02:23:48.360 --> 02:23:50.280 especially if a rain hits up. 2606 02:23:51.120 --> 02:23:55.799 Now, yeah, apparently the mayor petitioned him, which the mayor 2607 02:23:55.799 --> 02:23:59.360 of New Orleans is an absolutely horrible human being. 2608 02:23:59.600 --> 02:24:01.040 In an other well, she's getting. 2609 02:24:00.760 --> 02:24:04.159 Brought up on charges anyways, like more charges. Again, this 2610 02:24:04.280 --> 02:24:06.559 is like the tenth time this woman's been charged. 2611 02:24:06.639 --> 02:24:09.159 So I don't know why she is in the position 2612 02:24:09.239 --> 02:24:13.239 she's in other than the fact that, Yeah, listen, I'm 2613 02:24:13.239 --> 02:24:15.479 not trying to use this opportunity to take this standpoint. 2614 02:24:15.520 --> 02:24:17.559 But I also don't believe that everybody should be allowed 2615 02:24:17.559 --> 02:24:20.120 to vote. I'm sorry. I believe there should be a 2616 02:24:20.159 --> 02:24:23.079 baseline level test or you have to be in a 2617 02:24:23.120 --> 02:24:26.200 certain you have to at least pay taxes in some way, 2618 02:24:26.520 --> 02:24:29.120 Like it's anyway anyway, not getting on that soap bux. 2619 02:24:29.639 --> 02:24:32.120 We're talking about tunnels, I know. 2620 02:24:32.760 --> 02:24:36.760 So Elon Musk's boring company could build a tunnel connect 2621 02:24:36.760 --> 02:24:39.559 to New Orleans Convention Center with a major hotel near 2622 02:24:39.600 --> 02:24:43.840 the Superdome, reports The Advocate, a paper report that documents 2623 02:24:43.879 --> 02:24:48.280 show that in February, New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno fuck 2624 02:24:48.319 --> 02:24:51.399 Her applied to the company's tunnel Vision Challenge with a 2625 02:24:51.440 --> 02:24:53.959 pitch that New Orleans could benefit from a boring tunnel. 2626 02:24:54.319 --> 02:24:58.479 Moreno's proposal notes that while the earnest North Memorial Convention 2627 02:24:58.639 --> 02:25:01.840 Center and Hyatt Region and see New Orleans are only 2628 02:25:01.920 --> 02:25:05.920 one mile apart, traveling that distance is unreliable during Mardi 2629 02:25:05.959 --> 02:25:09.040 Gras and events at the super Dome. So we are 2630 02:25:09.079 --> 02:25:12.719 talking about give or take festival. Carnival season in New 2631 02:25:12.799 --> 02:25:16.520 Orleans is about two months long, give or take realistically, 2632 02:25:17.120 --> 02:25:19.120 and she's saying that it is so hard to get 2633 02:25:19.159 --> 02:25:22.879 from the Convention Center to the Superdome for two months 2634 02:25:23.280 --> 02:25:25.600 that we need a tunnel connecting them. 2635 02:25:25.639 --> 02:25:27.680 Obviously, that's absolutely ridiculous. 2636 02:25:28.200 --> 02:25:31.760 So Marina, the proposal landed New Orleans on a list 2637 02:25:31.879 --> 02:25:35.000 of three winners of the challenge, with the company pledging 2638 02:25:35.040 --> 02:25:39.719 to fund a proposed NOLA loop of a rigorous diligence 2639 02:25:39.920 --> 02:25:45.559 process determine the project as feasible. It is unclear, according 2640 02:25:45.600 --> 02:25:47.680 to the Advocate report, if any progress has been made 2641 02:25:47.719 --> 02:25:51.879 since March. But yeah, this is this is a whole thing. Also, 2642 02:25:52.479 --> 02:25:55.920 SpaceX has been rumored to expand into Louisiana as well. 2643 02:25:56.200 --> 02:25:59.040 Heard that, Yeah, so that's that's just something to. 2644 02:26:00.680 --> 02:26:04.120 Yeah, interesting, you know, interesting about that. 2645 02:26:04.360 --> 02:26:08.159 But getting back to LA and their tunnels, let's talk 2646 02:26:08.200 --> 02:26:12.520 about it. So this is actually really this has happened 2647 02:26:12.600 --> 02:26:17.280 what yesterday, two days ago? Yeah, this article, So there's 2648 02:26:17.319 --> 02:26:20.639 been obviously we we understand that there's tunnels. We understand 2649 02:26:20.639 --> 02:26:23.479 that LA has a big problem with the homeless. 2650 02:26:23.479 --> 02:26:25.559 We obviously they have skid row, and we. 2651 02:26:25.479 --> 02:26:29.000 Also know that these tunnels go under skid row. Mm hmmm. 2652 02:26:29.159 --> 02:26:32.440 Then they have you know, they're going to be hosting 2653 02:26:32.920 --> 02:26:37.200 the Olympics, which is a huge thing. And there's a 2654 02:26:37.200 --> 02:26:42.120 lot of conversations after the fires that there's more more 2655 02:26:42.120 --> 02:26:45.000 homeless people than ever before and they want to get 2656 02:26:45.040 --> 02:26:47.040 rid of them because they need them to leave. 2657 02:26:47.440 --> 02:26:49.079 You got to clean up the seats whenever you have 2658 02:26:49.159 --> 02:26:52.399 company over. It's the same thing that Gavin Newsom did 2659 02:26:52.399 --> 02:26:56.040 when Jija Pin came to California, he all the homeless 2660 02:26:56.040 --> 02:27:00.360 people in LA were just not there crazily, and it's like, 2661 02:27:00.360 --> 02:27:02.680 what do you mean? And he even said, we got 2662 02:27:02.719 --> 02:27:04.799 to clean up your house before you invite company over, 2663 02:27:05.440 --> 02:27:09.639 and it's like, that's that's a thing you just said 2664 02:27:09.840 --> 02:27:11.680 on camera. But all right. 2665 02:27:12.079 --> 02:27:14.040 I mean, they very well could have been sold off 2666 02:27:14.079 --> 02:27:19.280 to experimental science labs taking out into the underground military 2667 02:27:19.479 --> 02:27:24.879 tunnel bases that everybody believes that are all throughout California. 2668 02:27:24.399 --> 02:27:27.600 You know, But he busted them to Oakland. He used 2669 02:27:27.760 --> 02:27:32.559 state tax dollars to hire buses and just basically forcibly 2670 02:27:32.680 --> 02:27:35.559 rounded up all the homeless people and just shipped them 2671 02:27:35.600 --> 02:27:38.719 north for a little bit until she left, and then 2672 02:27:38.760 --> 02:27:40.040 they just like found their way back. 2673 02:27:40.760 --> 02:27:43.559 I mean, we did the same thing here for the 2674 02:27:43.600 --> 02:27:46.760 Super Bowl. We have I wouldn't say we have a 2675 02:27:46.799 --> 02:27:51.479 massive homeless population since compared to other like Portland in 2676 02:27:51.840 --> 02:27:54.840 LA and those kind of places, but we were having 2677 02:27:54.879 --> 02:27:58.840 a growing number of people that were living under specific 2678 02:27:58.920 --> 02:28:01.200 bridges in New Ork Orlands and is kind of getting 2679 02:28:01.200 --> 02:28:04.000 to where it was getting way more dangerous in those areas. 2680 02:28:04.959 --> 02:28:09.280 And then suddenly they round them all up, all their 2681 02:28:09.319 --> 02:28:11.479 shit disappeared, and they disappeared. 2682 02:28:11.760 --> 02:28:13.959 Yeah, this is why I never donated to United Way. 2683 02:28:14.000 --> 02:28:17.639 By the way, United Way is a nonprofit that brings 2684 02:28:17.719 --> 02:28:20.040 buses to move these people from point A to point B. 2685 02:28:20.120 --> 02:28:24.399 They've done it for years. So yeah, anyway, anyway, let's 2686 02:28:24.520 --> 02:28:25.040 talk about it. 2687 02:28:25.040 --> 02:28:27.959 So I wanted to talk about this because the tunnels 2688 02:28:28.000 --> 02:28:31.319 in them are having a whole situation with squatters and 2689 02:28:31.760 --> 02:28:35.040 the homeless and them getting pretty much buried alive in 2690 02:28:35.120 --> 02:28:35.959 some of the places. 2691 02:28:36.040 --> 02:28:37.559 So this is a vibe. 2692 02:28:37.840 --> 02:28:40.680 It it is a vibe. It is definitely a vibe. 2693 02:28:40.760 --> 02:28:44.040 Let's talk about it here. So squatters turn century old 2694 02:28:44.040 --> 02:28:49.440 tunnels beneath Los Angeles streets into filth filled underground camps. Well, 2695 02:28:49.440 --> 02:28:52.200 there's no way to talk about people. They're not filth 2696 02:28:52.239 --> 02:28:55.399 that they are though. Anyway, aging pedestrian tunnels beneath the 2697 02:28:55.440 --> 02:28:58.479 streets of Los Angeles have been overtaken by squatters who 2698 02:28:58.520 --> 02:29:01.440 break through fencing and lead the under ground passageways buried 2699 02:29:01.479 --> 02:29:04.799 in filth. One of the tunnels sits near Sodo Street 2700 02:29:04.799 --> 02:29:07.840 Elementary School in Boyle Heights. It is one of several 2701 02:29:07.920 --> 02:29:11.920 pedestrian underpasses across the city that have fallen into disrepair 2702 02:29:12.319 --> 02:29:16.200 and now draw homeless encampments and illegal activity. According to 2703 02:29:16.239 --> 02:29:18.239 the report, well yeah, you don't get one without the other. 2704 02:29:18.840 --> 02:29:21.440 Chain link fences and gates have been installed to seal 2705 02:29:21.559 --> 02:29:25.319 the entrances, but trespassers keep breaking through. Crews and news 2706 02:29:25.319 --> 02:29:32.360 cameras have gotten inside. Describe passageways littered with feces, urine, drugs, food, clothing, furniture, 2707 02:29:32.520 --> 02:29:36.280 and sex toys, all the hallmarks of a homeless encampment. Honestly, 2708 02:29:36.680 --> 02:29:38.719 clearly a sofa. 2709 02:29:38.440 --> 02:29:41.360 And true, wo, I wouldn't have bet on the sex toys. 2710 02:29:41.399 --> 02:29:44.319 I'm not gonna lie to you. Realize they cost money. Yeah, 2711 02:29:44.559 --> 02:29:47.920 like I mean, of all the things, like you know, 2712 02:29:48.360 --> 02:29:50.680 I wouldn't have thought the sex toy conversation would be 2713 02:29:51.239 --> 02:29:54.719 entering because they're expensive in your homes. 2714 02:29:54.559 --> 02:29:57.520 So you would think. But uh, you know, the five 2715 02:29:57.520 --> 02:30:02.840 finger discount is free. 2716 02:30:00.920 --> 02:30:01.840 Right, fair, that's fair. 2717 02:30:02.000 --> 02:30:05.079 But also yeah, no, homeless people they be they be 2718 02:30:05.200 --> 02:30:07.719 fucking dude. Yeah, they ain't showered in like two weeks. 2719 02:30:07.760 --> 02:30:09.719 They don't care, man, they are they are out there 2720 02:30:09.799 --> 02:30:15.159 living their damn life. It's wild. It's yeah, I'm anyway, 2721 02:30:15.840 --> 02:30:19.120 moving forward. Here a sofa in children's clothing were among 2722 02:30:19.120 --> 02:30:22.079 the items found in the Boyle Heights tunnel. That's also 2723 02:30:22.120 --> 02:30:25.600 pretty terrifying. The tunnel network was built roughly a century 2724 02:30:25.600 --> 02:30:29.360 ago for the opposite purpose, to let school children cross 2725 02:30:29.399 --> 02:30:33.719 increasingly busy streets without stepping into traffic. Around two hundred 2726 02:30:33.719 --> 02:30:35.879 and twenty of the tunnels were constructed in the nineteen 2727 02:30:35.920 --> 02:30:39.120 twenties and thirties and funded by more than a million 2728 02:30:39.200 --> 02:30:43.280 dollars in bond measures approved by Los Angeles voters. According 2729 02:30:43.319 --> 02:30:46.959 to the La Times, so again, as far as like 2730 02:30:47.000 --> 02:30:50.360 the tunnel systems goes, around two hundred and twenty of 2731 02:30:50.399 --> 02:30:53.680 these tunnels were constructed that is known about. I don't 2732 02:30:53.680 --> 02:30:55.760 even tell me about the ones that we don't know about, right, 2733 02:30:56.559 --> 02:30:59.440 They did not last. By the late nineteen sixties, the 2734 02:30:59.440 --> 02:31:02.959 passageway were already falling out of use, and in nineteen 2735 02:31:03.000 --> 02:31:07.000 sixty eight, public works officials adopted a formal policy of 2736 02:31:07.040 --> 02:31:10.319 closing them after the Los Angeles Board of Education warned 2737 02:31:10.399 --> 02:31:15.360 that many had become unsafe unsanitary corridors attracting criminal activity. 2738 02:31:15.840 --> 02:31:18.479 That policy led to the closure of several tunnels across 2739 02:31:18.520 --> 02:31:21.639 the city. The ones still were standing remain a safety 2740 02:31:21.639 --> 02:31:25.479 concern for the neighborhoods above them. District fourteen City council 2741 02:31:25.520 --> 02:31:33.639 member oh Jesus christ You Sable Eurado Sure, who represents 2742 02:31:33.639 --> 02:31:38.440 Boyle Heights, said the tunnel in her district in her Okay, yeah, yes, 2743 02:31:38.440 --> 02:31:43.280 Sable totally in her district is a public safety thread quote. 2744 02:31:43.319 --> 02:31:46.680 For years, the tunnel has presented persistent public health and 2745 02:31:46.680 --> 02:31:51.840 safety concerns, including accumulated trash and debris, flooding and debris 2746 02:31:51.840 --> 02:31:55.840 flow hazards during adverse weather, and activity inside the passageway 2747 02:31:55.920 --> 02:32:02.159 that has disrupted nearby school operations. Wow Euraedo Phil filed 2748 02:32:02.200 --> 02:32:07.479 emotion in February twenty twenty six seeking a permanent closure quote. 2749 02:32:07.520 --> 02:32:11.559 As previous efforts to adequately close the tunnel have been unsuccessful. 2750 02:32:11.920 --> 02:32:14.040 There is an urgent need for the city to develop 2751 02:32:14.079 --> 02:32:17.479 a permanent solution to close the tunnel. This endeavor will 2752 02:32:17.520 --> 02:32:22.239 advance safer, more accessible streets for our students, educators, workers, families, 2753 02:32:22.319 --> 02:32:25.520 and surrounding community. She told the outlet that sealing it 2754 02:32:25.559 --> 02:32:28.239 for good was not a quick fix. A permanent closure 2755 02:32:28.239 --> 02:32:32.840 requires an engineering evaluation, coordination among the relevant city departments, 2756 02:32:33.079 --> 02:32:36.879 identification of funding, and approval through the city council process. 2757 02:32:37.440 --> 02:32:41.239 The push is not new Euredo's processor. Kevin Delone filed 2758 02:32:41.239 --> 02:32:45.680 a similar motion or predecessor, Yeah, Kevin de de Lyone 2759 02:32:46.159 --> 02:32:49.360 filed a similar motion in twenty twenty four. Rather than 2760 02:32:49.399 --> 02:32:53.000 providing safe passage for the Sodo Street Elementary students and parents, 2761 02:32:53.360 --> 02:32:57.959 this pedestrian tunnel has proved provided harbor for illicted activity 2762 02:32:57.959 --> 02:33:01.959 and dangerous conditions. The city take steps necessary to permanently 2763 02:33:01.959 --> 02:33:05.719 close this tunnel and debate ongoing public safety hazards that 2764 02:33:05.760 --> 02:33:09.000 are taking place at this site. Two motions and two 2765 02:33:09.040 --> 02:33:12.799 council members later, the fencing is still there and still there, 2766 02:33:13.200 --> 02:33:17.600 and so are the people getting past it? Wow? Yeah, 2767 02:33:17.639 --> 02:33:21.600 absolutely so. And it would only make sense that the 2768 02:33:21.719 --> 02:33:26.079 homeless would take refuge in these tunnels, right, especially ones 2769 02:33:26.120 --> 02:33:29.200 that haven't been used quote unquote and so long or 2770 02:33:29.319 --> 02:33:31.639 least one hundred year old tunnels or whatever. Yeah, it 2771 02:33:31.639 --> 02:33:33.079 would make sense. It's a place to get out of 2772 02:33:33.079 --> 02:33:34.920 the rain, you know what I mean. You can set 2773 02:33:35.000 --> 02:33:36.639 up shop and if people are like, yeah, hey, I 2774 02:33:36.719 --> 02:33:38.840 need to get by you, rah, fuck off. Right, you 2775 02:33:39.120 --> 02:33:40.479 know what I mean, you're a homeless person. You could 2776 02:33:40.600 --> 02:33:42.479 just do what you want. Nobody's coming. 2777 02:33:42.520 --> 02:33:45.799 Stoping drugs and everything else they got going on, in 2778 02:33:45.959 --> 02:33:50.879 child child situations that are happening, everything that's going on. 2779 02:33:50.959 --> 02:33:53.120 I mean, they're also living underneath the bridges. There's like 2780 02:33:53.159 --> 02:33:55.680 this one guy that's like famously living under this one 2781 02:33:55.719 --> 02:33:57.760 bridge all by himself. He just got like a whole 2782 02:33:57.840 --> 02:34:01.280 ass mattress down there and stuff. There's like this guy's 2783 02:34:01.319 --> 02:34:03.840 been keeping up with him and really nice dude. He 2784 02:34:04.040 --> 02:34:07.760 just is homeless. But like his whole situation, you have 2785 02:34:07.799 --> 02:34:10.000 to like crawl through stuff and then crawl down this 2786 02:34:10.079 --> 02:34:12.399 other thing and crawl over this stuff, and then there 2787 02:34:12.440 --> 02:34:16.520 you are. You're basically underneath this complete bridge and it's 2788 02:34:16.520 --> 02:34:18.440 like its own little tunnel system down there. 2789 02:34:18.879 --> 02:34:21.239 But that's the thing, right, most of the homeless, and 2790 02:34:21.280 --> 02:34:24.559 no I'm not gonna say the unhoused or the shelterless, 2791 02:34:25.200 --> 02:34:29.959 that's that's liberal dumb shit. The homeless, these people, most 2792 02:34:29.959 --> 02:34:33.920 of them are there by choice. I understand that there 2793 02:34:33.959 --> 02:34:38.360 are some real people out there that fell on hard times, 2794 02:34:38.760 --> 02:34:41.719 hit a string of bad luck, and like they found 2795 02:34:41.799 --> 02:34:45.959 themselves homeless like that. Yes, this does happen one hundred percent, 2796 02:34:46.799 --> 02:34:51.040 but I would argue that ninety eight to ninety nine 2797 02:34:51.159 --> 02:34:55.479 percent of the homeless population in America are there so 2798 02:34:55.520 --> 02:34:57.760 that they can live and do drugs and do whatever 2799 02:34:57.760 --> 02:35:01.239 the fuck they want without people bothering them and no 2800 02:35:01.239 --> 02:35:03.520 one holding them accountable, you know what I mean, their 2801 02:35:03.559 --> 02:35:05.600 family not breathing down their neck to try to like 2802 02:35:05.959 --> 02:35:08.399 get them help. Like they don't want help. They want 2803 02:35:08.440 --> 02:35:10.799 to live a lawless lifestyle, so they're doing that. 2804 02:35:12.079 --> 02:35:14.079 So yeah, yeah, I mean there is a good there 2805 02:35:14.159 --> 02:35:18.200 is a good portion that they're happy the way that 2806 02:35:18.200 --> 02:35:20.280 they're living, Yeah, and that's what they want to do. 2807 02:35:20.600 --> 02:35:22.799 There is people that are down on their luck. There 2808 02:35:22.879 --> 02:35:25.520 is people that have lost everything, There's people that are 2809 02:35:25.559 --> 02:35:29.000 going through things. There's a lot of different circumstances of 2810 02:35:29.040 --> 02:35:32.760 why people are homeless, but there is a good portion 2811 02:35:32.879 --> 02:35:34.959 of them. And I've done a lot of work with 2812 02:35:35.000 --> 02:35:39.440 the homeless since I was young, beeing homeless, helping shelters, 2813 02:35:39.479 --> 02:35:42.040 doing all this stuff, and I will say, like, there 2814 02:35:42.120 --> 02:35:44.520 is a portion of them that really just they want 2815 02:35:44.559 --> 02:35:46.559 to live this way because they don't want to have 2816 02:35:46.600 --> 02:35:47.680 any responsibilities. 2817 02:35:47.760 --> 02:35:51.399 So yeah, yeah, like their biggest problem like oh no, 2818 02:35:51.440 --> 02:35:55.520 I may not have anything to eat today, but like whatever, cool. 2819 02:35:55.600 --> 02:35:58.000 Yeah, well, I mean, but they can find food and 2820 02:35:58.040 --> 02:35:59.959 stuff in a lot of different places. 2821 02:36:00.120 --> 02:36:01.879 Is now. They heard it back in the day. 2822 02:36:02.559 --> 02:36:06.760 And this article starts talking about the Soto Street Elementary School. 2823 02:36:06.799 --> 02:36:08.399 We just talked about that in the last article, So 2824 02:36:08.399 --> 02:36:09.959 I'm gonna kind of skip ahead a little bit. They 2825 02:36:10.000 --> 02:36:14.079 got pictures though, of some of the images, right, chain 2826 02:36:14.120 --> 02:36:15.399 link fence, a tunnel system. 2827 02:36:16.319 --> 02:36:17.639 I just wanted to kind of show some of the 2828 02:36:17.680 --> 02:36:18.959 pictures of what was going on. 2829 02:36:19.319 --> 02:36:25.639 Yeah, no doubt though. That's that's ya sobo. Yeah, that's 2830 02:36:25.680 --> 02:36:29.000 the Yeah. Yeah, this is the chain link fence that 2831 02:36:29.479 --> 02:36:32.959 I mean, yeah, it's there. They could still get down 2832 02:36:32.959 --> 02:36:37.079 there pretty relatively easily. It's a fence jumping away, you know. 2833 02:36:37.440 --> 02:36:39.639 Yeah, there's a whole bunch of places that are open 2834 02:36:39.799 --> 02:36:42.959 like this all over the place. And the manhole cover 2835 02:36:43.360 --> 02:36:46.799 conversation is where it actually started for me, because they 2836 02:36:46.959 --> 02:36:51.040 just had another kid, he's like twenty something year old 2837 02:36:51.120 --> 02:36:53.639 kid that they were closing up one of the manholes 2838 02:36:54.000 --> 02:36:58.280 and there they were and he was he was about 2839 02:36:58.280 --> 02:37:00.440 to get sealed into the manhole. There was a lady 2840 02:37:00.440 --> 02:37:03.360 and her kids that just almost got sealed into a manhole. 2841 02:37:04.239 --> 02:37:06.799 There's a lot of them that are moving throughout the 2842 02:37:06.799 --> 02:37:11.600 city and these sewage passageways and that they are living 2843 02:37:11.639 --> 02:37:14.799 down there and created an entire community. But before we 2844 02:37:14.840 --> 02:37:17.479 read this whole thing, I did want to give credence 2845 02:37:17.559 --> 02:37:19.639 to one of the reasons why there is a portion 2846 02:37:19.840 --> 02:37:24.639 of tunnels is due to the Chinatown situation that happened. 2847 02:37:26.559 --> 02:37:27.840 There was a Chinatown. 2848 02:37:28.200 --> 02:37:31.280 There was about six thousand residents at one point in 2849 02:37:31.319 --> 02:37:36.000 eighteen seventy one in Los Angeles, and one hundred and 2850 02:37:36.040 --> 02:37:39.200 seventy two of them were Chinese. They had, you know, 2851 02:37:39.239 --> 02:37:42.200 they were facing the same stuff everyone else was facing 2852 02:37:42.200 --> 02:37:44.239 in all the other locations. You know, a lot of 2853 02:37:44.680 --> 02:37:49.639 different issues that were happening. There was actually like gang 2854 02:37:49.719 --> 02:37:53.040 rivals situations that's going on between the two head leaders 2855 02:37:53.120 --> 02:37:54.840 in Chinatown, which. 2856 02:37:54.639 --> 02:37:57.760 Resulted in this whole situation. 2857 02:37:57.280 --> 02:38:00.280 Of a kidnap, a young Chinese woman being kidnapped, and 2858 02:38:00.319 --> 02:38:03.799 then a shootout happened between several Chinese men that broke 2859 02:38:03.840 --> 02:38:06.559 out in the middle of Negro Alley is where a 2860 02:38:06.559 --> 02:38:09.959 lot of them were located at, and this resulted in 2861 02:38:10.040 --> 02:38:13.799 police officers, two police officers being hurt, and one death 2862 02:38:13.879 --> 02:38:17.920 of a civilian that was actually a really well known 2863 02:38:18.000 --> 02:38:22.479 and very popular, well loved former saloon owner. So when 2864 02:38:22.520 --> 02:38:28.159 this happened on October twenty fourth, eighteen seventy one. This 2865 02:38:28.200 --> 02:38:31.360 is one of the biggest massacres in American history. 2866 02:38:31.680 --> 02:38:32.319 That happened. 2867 02:38:32.920 --> 02:38:36.440 Five hundred of the town's people got together and basically 2868 02:38:36.479 --> 02:38:41.399 stormed Chinatown. They ended up lynching seventeen people as young 2869 02:38:41.520 --> 02:38:46.559 as eighteen years old as one of the victims. They 2870 02:38:47.440 --> 02:38:50.440 the first man was hung and then buried that night before, 2871 02:38:51.280 --> 02:38:53.440 and then the rest of them, the seventeen bodies were 2872 02:38:53.520 --> 02:38:57.120 laid out in front of the jail yard as evidence. Basically, 2873 02:38:57.799 --> 02:39:02.159 the grand jury indicted people, eat of the rioters convicted 2874 02:39:02.200 --> 02:39:05.879 of manslaughter charges. Charges were overturned on a legal technicality, 2875 02:39:06.200 --> 02:39:10.479 and the defendants never never were retried. So basically they 2876 02:39:10.520 --> 02:39:13.799 slaughtered seventeen people and got away with it. 2877 02:39:13.840 --> 02:39:15.200 And so this is actually. 2878 02:39:14.840 --> 02:39:19.079 Technically one of the biggest massacres that we have. Lynching wise, 2879 02:39:19.159 --> 02:39:22.600 I think this might be it's the largest mass lynching 2880 02:39:22.760 --> 02:39:26.280 in US history. And one of the reasons why I 2881 02:39:26.280 --> 02:39:30.079 brought this up because they utilized the tunnel systems, just 2882 02:39:30.159 --> 02:39:32.479 like in San Francisco, to stay out of the way 2883 02:39:33.079 --> 02:39:36.120 of you know, other people that were in town. It 2884 02:39:36.159 --> 02:39:38.920 wasn't just white people, it was it was a lot 2885 02:39:38.959 --> 02:39:39.840 of different people. 2886 02:39:40.000 --> 02:39:42.920 They were having feuds with other Chinese people. 2887 02:39:43.360 --> 02:39:46.799 Certain Chinese people use the underground, certain ones used up top. 2888 02:39:47.239 --> 02:39:50.000 It was a whole thing. Well when this broke out, 2889 02:39:50.559 --> 02:39:51.639 this caused. 2890 02:39:51.319 --> 02:39:56.760 This mass massacre of lynching of people and of Chinese people, 2891 02:39:56.799 --> 02:39:59.520 And so I thought it deserved its flowers because it's 2892 02:40:00.040 --> 02:40:02.079 one of the biggest it is the largest one in 2893 02:40:02.120 --> 02:40:03.239 our history of. 2894 02:40:03.120 --> 02:40:03.920 What has happened. 2895 02:40:03.959 --> 02:40:08.760 So wow, another reason why tunnels were utilized during that period. 2896 02:40:09.280 --> 02:40:13.280 Absolutely, I had never heard of that story. Also, but 2897 02:40:13.319 --> 02:40:16.239 I mean, and it makes sense that Chinatown also has 2898 02:40:16.280 --> 02:40:19.000 tunnels underneath it because that seems to be the going trend, 2899 02:40:19.639 --> 02:40:23.079 right every city that we've talked about the tunnels that 2900 02:40:23.200 --> 02:40:25.600 may or may not be there in the backstory. Somehow 2901 02:40:25.719 --> 02:40:30.040 Chinatown just makes its way into the conversation as it does. 2902 02:40:30.440 --> 02:40:34.079 You know, it's either the Chinese Jews, man, they're fucking tunneling. 2903 02:40:34.200 --> 02:40:36.360 They're doing things, that's is what they're tunneling. 2904 02:40:36.399 --> 02:40:38.920 Because like as we move across the country, I have 2905 02:40:38.959 --> 02:40:41.399 a feeling we're going to get into more the Jewish 2906 02:40:41.479 --> 02:40:45.600 population of tunneling, obviously, like in New York and you know, 2907 02:40:45.959 --> 02:40:48.399 the places that we've actually heard of and stuff. And 2908 02:40:48.440 --> 02:40:51.879 then I'm curious to see when we get into Houston, 2909 02:40:52.000 --> 02:40:55.360 that's one of the biggest underground tunnels in cities. 2910 02:40:55.719 --> 02:40:57.079 I'm curious to see what that's for. 2911 02:40:57.239 --> 02:41:00.680 But also we're going to get into the industrial military 2912 02:41:00.719 --> 02:41:03.799 industrial plexus. We're already to get into the silo situations 2913 02:41:03.799 --> 02:41:06.799 that actually link up to tunnels that you can actually 2914 02:41:06.840 --> 02:41:09.479 purchase as a civilian. Right now, Like, there's a lot 2915 02:41:09.559 --> 02:41:10.079 of stuff. 2916 02:41:10.280 --> 02:41:13.120 Didn't Kylie Jenner's bunker in LA just get completed? 2917 02:41:14.040 --> 02:41:14.319 Uh? 2918 02:41:14.440 --> 02:41:19.000 Yes, Kylie Jenner spent fifteen million dollars in an LA 2919 02:41:19.280 --> 02:41:23.120 for her bunker that just was completed. Yeah, And so 2920 02:41:23.239 --> 02:41:25.319 that's that's another celebrity. 2921 02:41:25.319 --> 02:41:27.239 But there's a whole bunch of them. We know that 2922 02:41:28.559 --> 02:41:29.920 Mark Zuckerberg. 2923 02:41:29.479 --> 02:41:33.920 And his whole situation with his tunnels and his bunkers. 2924 02:41:33.959 --> 02:41:36.360 I mean Oprah has them, they all have them, like 2925 02:41:36.399 --> 02:41:39.879 they And then there's videos all over. 2926 02:41:39.760 --> 02:41:41.799 The place of officials that. 2927 02:41:41.760 --> 02:41:44.680 Are pulling up like the rug in their offices and 2928 02:41:44.719 --> 02:41:48.159 being like, oh, hey, look, we got these underground tunnels. 2929 02:41:47.760 --> 02:41:49.079 That we can just drop into. 2930 02:41:50.159 --> 02:41:54.479 So you know, there's the tunnels are everywhere, and this 2931 02:41:54.680 --> 02:41:57.200 is that's the big thing that I guess, you know, 2932 02:41:58.000 --> 02:42:02.879 the conversation of the unround entirety of the US being 2933 02:42:02.920 --> 02:42:07.399 linked together through tunnels and bases and the huge city 2934 02:42:07.479 --> 02:42:12.120 and that's operating potentially underground. It has been a conversation 2935 02:42:12.200 --> 02:42:13.920 that's been really heavy this year. 2936 02:42:14.959 --> 02:42:17.479 Do I know if there is a thing, I don't know. 2937 02:42:17.559 --> 02:42:19.239 I don't know if they all connect, I don't. 2938 02:42:19.120 --> 02:42:23.600 Know, if they're just in certain cities. Do they have 2939 02:42:23.719 --> 02:42:26.479 the potential to connect for sure? Are they going to 2940 02:42:26.639 --> 02:42:27.520 build these things up? 2941 02:42:27.719 --> 02:42:28.200 I don't know. 2942 02:42:29.200 --> 02:42:31.520 Is it true when we do get in, because we're 2943 02:42:31.520 --> 02:42:34.120 going to do an episode of just the underground bunkers, 2944 02:42:34.159 --> 02:42:38.680 the nuclear bunkers. I am going to obviously bring up 2945 02:42:39.319 --> 02:42:42.399 Bush's Lady that just came out a few years ago 2946 02:42:42.520 --> 02:42:43.360 saying they spent. 2947 02:42:43.319 --> 02:42:46.200 Like twenty one billion trillion. I can't remember. 2948 02:42:46.200 --> 02:42:49.840 I think it's billion dollars on underground cities and all 2949 02:42:49.879 --> 02:42:51.920 of this. And we're going to get into the actual 2950 02:42:52.120 --> 02:42:57.920 underground cities themselves and nuclear bunkers and also the elites 2951 02:42:58.000 --> 02:42:59.959 and things like this. But right now, it's been a 2952 02:43:00.120 --> 02:43:06.040 fascinating thing to learn so much history about our tunnel 2953 02:43:06.159 --> 02:43:10.120 systems that I actually didn't realize how many tunnels were 2954 02:43:10.159 --> 02:43:13.200 on the West Coast because we only touched two cities 2955 02:43:13.399 --> 02:43:14.000 out of. 2956 02:43:13.959 --> 02:43:16.360 California, and there is so many more. 2957 02:43:16.440 --> 02:43:19.079 In fact, three days ago there was just an article 2958 02:43:19.079 --> 02:43:23.760 that was released about Santa Barbara and their mystery tunnels 2959 02:43:23.760 --> 02:43:26.920 that they just discovered. And there's tunnels being discovered all 2960 02:43:27.040 --> 02:43:30.639 over the place throughout California, and they're being released weekly. 2961 02:43:30.680 --> 02:43:33.200 It feels like there's so many articles that we. 2962 02:43:33.239 --> 02:43:38.600 Seriously could have spent probably five six episodes just on California's, 2963 02:43:38.639 --> 02:43:43.120 not including Las Vegas, not including you know, Arizona, not 2964 02:43:43.200 --> 02:43:46.120 including going into the mountain Jews, not including all of 2965 02:43:46.120 --> 02:43:48.879 the things that are all connected to each other at 2966 02:43:48.959 --> 02:43:51.799 least in some way, shape or form of Is there aliens? 2967 02:43:51.879 --> 02:43:54.840 Is there a lizards of people? Are the military doing 2968 02:43:54.879 --> 02:43:59.000 this stuff? I mean, is it's all the elites using it? 2969 02:43:59.239 --> 02:44:00.000 Are they abandoned? 2970 02:44:00.000 --> 02:44:02.959 And are they actually sealed up? Is their whole communities underneath? 2971 02:44:03.000 --> 02:44:04.159 How far do they go down? 2972 02:44:04.680 --> 02:44:07.520 There's a lot of questions that are just kind of 2973 02:44:07.840 --> 02:44:08.879 unanswered completely. 2974 02:44:09.239 --> 02:44:11.000 I gotta tell you, though, with all the things that 2975 02:44:11.040 --> 02:44:14.239 we covered today, the one that I'm having the most 2976 02:44:14.319 --> 02:44:18.600 hiccup with is the lizard people conversation. And it's not 2977 02:44:18.639 --> 02:44:22.280 because I don't believe in in reptilian aliens or shape 2978 02:44:22.280 --> 02:44:26.360 shifters or nephilim or or whatever like, yes, yeah, these things. 2979 02:44:26.639 --> 02:44:31.079 I believe they're out there in some way, shape or form. 2980 02:44:31.120 --> 02:44:33.799 The one of all these things, the tunnel's being there 2981 02:44:33.840 --> 02:44:36.079 that we don't know about, for sure, the celebrities using it, 2982 02:44:36.200 --> 02:44:38.799 for sure, Hugh Hefner all that, Yeah, confirmed, got it. 2983 02:44:40.120 --> 02:44:43.879 The story from nineteen thirty four from this guy using 2984 02:44:44.040 --> 02:44:47.959 a device that has not been used since or before, 2985 02:44:49.079 --> 02:44:51.840 and the whole conversation he had to go and find 2986 02:44:51.879 --> 02:44:55.159 some sort of a Native American chief to basically give 2987 02:44:55.239 --> 02:44:57.399 him the green light that what he's doing is like 2988 02:44:57.479 --> 02:45:00.879 basing something. Do you know how many Native American tribes 2989 02:45:00.920 --> 02:45:04.399 have a story about lizard people or reptilians or something 2990 02:45:04.440 --> 02:45:04.799 like that. 2991 02:45:05.600 --> 02:45:09.719 I'm sure quite a few too. Oh really, well. 2992 02:45:09.840 --> 02:45:13.000 Let me rephrase that. The Hopie are one, and then 2993 02:45:13.000 --> 02:45:16.680 there's some like California tribes that's it. No one else. 2994 02:45:16.760 --> 02:45:19.680 They may have a story with some sort of like 2995 02:45:19.719 --> 02:45:22.639 a you know, and not a god, let's make that 2996 02:45:22.680 --> 02:45:26.520 clear too, not like a serpent style deity, and not 2997 02:45:26.680 --> 02:45:30.040 like a snake being or some like a person like 2998 02:45:30.079 --> 02:45:33.200 a they celt and like the snake man. The you know, 2999 02:45:33.239 --> 02:45:37.040 the human types here, the hybrids, if you will, there's 3000 02:45:37.120 --> 02:45:39.799 not many at all. So it's like he was grasping 3001 02:45:39.920 --> 02:45:42.879 estraws on top of grasping of straws. But the biggest 3002 02:45:42.920 --> 02:45:44.360 hang up I have on all of that, I could 3003 02:45:44.360 --> 02:45:47.319 get by the story. I can get by, you know, 3004 02:45:47.399 --> 02:45:49.600 some sort of ancient civilization. I could get through all 3005 02:45:49.680 --> 02:45:54.440 of that. If his device was so powerful that it 3006 02:45:54.440 --> 02:45:57.879 could map out an entire underground labyrinth that was in 3007 02:45:57.920 --> 02:46:01.879 the shape of a lizard, how did it not pick 3008 02:46:02.000 --> 02:46:05.239 up on the fucking tunnel that they were digging into, 3009 02:46:06.280 --> 02:46:08.959 or the water that that was about to hit and 3010 02:46:09.280 --> 02:46:12.520 all of these things. And the oil industry has been 3011 02:46:12.520 --> 02:46:14.879 in LA for so fucking long. Do you know how 3012 02:46:14.879 --> 02:46:18.399 many underground tests they've done to map out what's down there? 3013 02:46:18.799 --> 02:46:22.799 And none of them found the lizard before now, And 3014 02:46:22.840 --> 02:46:24.399 it's like, well, they would, but they would have kept 3015 02:46:24.440 --> 02:46:27.120 it quiet. It's like, but would they have? Because I 3016 02:46:27.159 --> 02:46:29.479 feel like they would have if it is as extensive 3017 02:46:29.559 --> 02:46:31.879 as the dude was claiming. I feel like they would 3018 02:46:31.920 --> 02:46:35.000 have accidentally punched a hole in that in some way, 3019 02:46:35.040 --> 02:46:37.559 shape or form in they're digging. And if they had, 3020 02:46:37.559 --> 02:46:41.639 which is the mathematical probability, wouldn't that flood the entire 3021 02:46:41.680 --> 02:46:42.399 tunnel system? 3022 02:46:43.319 --> 02:46:45.120 I mean most of it, though it was covered up, 3023 02:46:45.600 --> 02:46:47.799 like most of it was built on top of like 3024 02:46:48.479 --> 02:46:52.079 basically starting as soon as he as soon as they stopped, 3025 02:46:52.120 --> 02:46:53.639 they started building on top of shit. 3026 02:46:53.959 --> 02:46:55.479 Well, yeah they've so. 3027 02:46:56.639 --> 02:46:58.639 I don't, I don't actually know. I think it's a 3028 02:46:58.680 --> 02:47:01.520 weird thing. I don't really stand the whole radio X 3029 02:47:01.600 --> 02:47:05.600 ray device. I was trying to find more information on 3030 02:47:05.719 --> 02:47:11.920 that itself, but he basically got his information from the 3031 02:47:12.000 --> 02:47:15.440 locals and from everybody around there, because there's been one 3032 02:47:15.520 --> 02:47:17.520 hundred years of lore. 3033 02:47:17.319 --> 02:47:18.479 Pretty much that's going on. 3034 02:47:18.760 --> 02:47:19.399 Yeah. 3035 02:47:19.479 --> 02:47:23.239 So, and then he also had an engineering background and stuff, 3036 02:47:23.280 --> 02:47:26.479 and he had been working in those areas, and I 3037 02:47:26.520 --> 02:47:30.639 guess he decided to create this machine and then go 3038 02:47:30.680 --> 02:47:34.079 out there and try in the locations of which that 3039 02:47:34.239 --> 02:47:37.079 iron door had been talked about. That people had been 3040 02:47:37.120 --> 02:47:41.319 guessing that there was hidden Spanish treasure all throughout, that 3041 02:47:41.360 --> 02:47:44.360 there was some type of gold up there as well. 3042 02:47:46.520 --> 02:47:50.479 I don't know, to me, like, I don't, you know, 3043 02:47:50.520 --> 02:47:53.000 I don't, I don't really know if I I think 3044 02:47:53.040 --> 02:47:56.360 it's really interesting, But I do think the conversation about 3045 02:47:56.360 --> 02:48:00.280 the iron door, I think is really my hand up 3046 02:48:00.319 --> 02:48:03.600 with it, because there was so many accounts of people 3047 02:48:03.799 --> 02:48:08.120 talking about this over a long course of time. I 3048 02:48:08.239 --> 02:48:11.479 understand that people couldn't figure out I guess where it was. Okay, 3049 02:48:11.520 --> 02:48:13.959 that put pokes holes in it, but the fact that 3050 02:48:14.120 --> 02:48:17.239 the conversation kept coming back to the door is warm. 3051 02:48:17.639 --> 02:48:20.000 There's no way that it looks like we can't figure 3052 02:48:20.000 --> 02:48:23.559 out how to get into it, and or that it 3053 02:48:23.639 --> 02:48:26.159 was open and we still looked around it and there's 3054 02:48:26.280 --> 02:48:28.799 no like rivets in it, and it's really strange, and 3055 02:48:28.799 --> 02:48:31.280 the air just seems completely displaced and odd, and it 3056 02:48:31.319 --> 02:48:34.440 doesn't seem weird. It seems really strange. And then they 3057 02:48:34.479 --> 02:48:36.559 would go right back to it the next day because 3058 02:48:36.600 --> 02:48:38.719 oh my god, we found this thing, and then it's 3059 02:48:38.760 --> 02:48:40.440 gone and it's gone, and it's gone. 3060 02:48:40.479 --> 02:48:40.920 It's gone. 3061 02:48:41.000 --> 02:48:44.000 You know, it's it's one of those weird things. It's like, oh, okay, 3062 02:48:44.159 --> 02:48:49.000 so like one person saying it, eh, fifty people saying it, Okay, 3063 02:48:49.000 --> 02:48:52.120 maybe they just heard some bullshit. A hundred people saying 3064 02:48:52.159 --> 02:48:56.319 it over a course of one hundred years plus, it's like, okay, 3065 02:48:56.520 --> 02:48:59.879 maybe there's more to this than just like a story. 3066 02:49:00.079 --> 02:49:02.000 Maybe this is something a local legend that they're just 3067 02:49:02.040 --> 02:49:04.680 passing down to each other, you know, and grandfathered his 3068 02:49:04.799 --> 02:49:06.719 son and you know, one of those things. 3069 02:49:07.959 --> 02:49:11.879 And again the girl too, those with the psychic. 3070 02:49:12.399 --> 02:49:16.000 Yeah, the psychic, Like I mean, the psychic weeks five 3071 02:49:16.040 --> 02:49:19.559 weeks before he even does anything, before he even gets 3072 02:49:19.559 --> 02:49:21.680 a permit, before it even hit the paper. 3073 02:49:21.920 --> 02:49:25.120 But it wasn't documented by anybody but her friends, who said, 3074 02:49:25.159 --> 02:49:27.079 oh yeah, a few weeks ago she did say that. 3075 02:49:27.200 --> 02:49:29.719 So like, yeah, she said that, and then and then 3076 02:49:29.760 --> 02:49:33.559 she sent it in to that journal or whatever it 3077 02:49:33.680 --> 02:49:34.719 was and stuff, and so. 3078 02:49:35.840 --> 02:49:38.479 I you know, the whole story. All the stories are weird, 3079 02:49:38.799 --> 02:49:43.760 I'll say that. But also, could there be married at 3080 02:49:43.760 --> 02:49:45.159 this point? Who even knows? 3081 02:49:45.399 --> 02:49:48.600 I mean, like the conversation of reptilian people has been 3082 02:49:48.760 --> 02:49:51.600 around or Reptilian aliens, whatever the fuck they are, for 3083 02:49:51.639 --> 02:49:56.159 sure for a good bit. So could they be underneath there? 3084 02:49:56.479 --> 02:49:59.959 Maybe it's not like Hills of Eyes fucking people or 3085 02:50:00.079 --> 02:50:02.879 the Descent people or you know, whatever it's down there, 3086 02:50:03.200 --> 02:50:06.040 Who knows. Maybe they put an entire alien base down there. 3087 02:50:06.319 --> 02:50:11.280 Mount Shasta has its own unique stories of what happens 3088 02:50:11.319 --> 02:50:13.639 around that place in and of itself. And then there's 3089 02:50:13.920 --> 02:50:18.920 one unknown city apparently, and your guess is as good 3090 02:50:18.959 --> 02:50:21.040 as mine to be, to be honest, when it comes 3091 02:50:21.079 --> 02:50:22.000 to that conversation. 3092 02:50:22.360 --> 02:50:27.559 And again, I don't disbelieve reptilians or the lizard people 3093 02:50:27.639 --> 02:50:30.239 or whatever, like, I'm with that, and I don't inherently 3094 02:50:30.239 --> 02:50:34.360 disagree with that story. It's just this particular one. It's 3095 02:50:34.600 --> 02:50:36.719 don't even wrong. It was at least compelling enough for 3096 02:50:36.799 --> 02:50:38.879 the La Times to run on it and all the 3097 02:50:38.879 --> 02:50:40.200 other publications. 3098 02:50:39.680 --> 02:50:42.479 In the city council to give grants for it and 3099 02:50:42.559 --> 02:50:45.719 to help, you know, to give up the machine for it, 3100 02:50:45.799 --> 02:50:48.920 and to give him funding for it. And they were 3101 02:50:49.000 --> 02:50:53.120 like convinced enough with whatever evidence he showed them and 3102 02:50:53.280 --> 02:50:55.200 proved was enough for. 3103 02:50:55.239 --> 02:50:58.879 The council to be like, you know what, there might 3104 02:50:58.920 --> 02:50:59.559 be something to this. 3105 02:51:00.040 --> 02:51:02.559 Absolutely, I mean, above all else here, I think we 3106 02:51:02.600 --> 02:51:07.440 can all agree that Hollywood LA is being run by 3107 02:51:07.600 --> 02:51:10.920 the worst types of folks, and if those people happen 3108 02:51:11.040 --> 02:51:14.479 to be lizard people, then I mean Illuminati confirmed what 3109 02:51:14.479 --> 02:51:16.680 we're we be talking about here, you know, right. But 3110 02:51:16.799 --> 02:51:18.399 on top of all of that, I think we can 3111 02:51:18.440 --> 02:51:21.159 walk away with one very big tech well two very 3112 02:51:21.159 --> 02:51:24.680 big takeaways from this episode. Good cult members. Number one, 3113 02:51:25.360 --> 02:51:30.280 LA has a very wild, expansive underground city just beneath 3114 02:51:30.479 --> 02:51:34.000 the feet of the Angelinos that I just found out 3115 02:51:34.040 --> 02:51:37.120 as a word. Right, whether it's the oil, the one 3116 02:51:37.200 --> 02:51:41.319 hundred year old tunnels, the prohibition era, the whatever, these 3117 02:51:41.319 --> 02:51:45.120 are all confirmed, right, this is insane. And number two 3118 02:51:45.920 --> 02:51:48.959 fuck Hugh Hefner. I think we can all agree on that. 3119 02:51:50.040 --> 02:51:51.840 But good cult members, we want to hear from you. 3120 02:51:51.879 --> 02:51:55.280 What do you think about the underground tunnels under LA? 3121 02:51:55.879 --> 02:52:00.159 The underground reptilians right, excuse me? The underground lizard pece. Well, 3122 02:52:00.200 --> 02:52:02.479 I'm not sure which classification these would fall under. Maybe 3123 02:52:02.479 --> 02:52:04.079 it's the same thing. I don't know. What do you 3124 02:52:04.079 --> 02:52:06.440 think about the Hugh Hefner conversation? Did you know that 3125 02:52:06.559 --> 02:52:09.520 LA had such a booming oil industry? We want to 3126 02:52:09.520 --> 02:52:11.200 hear what you have to say about a good cult 3127 02:52:11.200 --> 02:52:12.959 members in the best place to let us know would 3128 02:52:13.000 --> 02:52:15.719 be too Please hit the five stars, hit the shares 3129 02:52:15.719 --> 02:52:17.719 of lif suscribes to comments, see a postry reviewers, shares 3130 02:52:17.760 --> 02:52:19.399 to their friends of family, shares that we're here.
