Chapter 1: What are the connections between Big Agriculture and California's water crisis?
That the chicken as a species is like one of the most dominant species on planet Earth because of the chicken industry. Like pound for pound, there's more chickens and more chicken as a being on the planet than any other animal species because we breed them into existence constantly.
Chapter 2: How have California fires influenced water availability?
All right, guys, we got Cameron Waters here today and just released a big documentary, right? Christspiracy. It's out. It's finally out. We went to theaters and now we're digital on our website. Yeah. And you exposed a lot there. You got a lot of threats, which we'll dive into.
Chapter 3: What issues exist within dairy farms?
First, I want to start off with the fires, though, because you have some information pertaining to the California fires, right?
Chapter 4: What was Kameron's journey to veganism?
Right. Yeah. So I actually was evacuated from the fires and still am. I'm down in San Diego, drove there to come visit you today. And What I've noticed is that the conversation around the fires, there's so many things that people are talking about.
Chapter 5: How do kosher and halal practices affect animal welfare?
And obviously there's the big question marks that go down the rabbit holes of directed energy weapons, smart meters, insurance lapsing with the fire protection, et cetera. The fire hydrant's not having water, right? Yeah.
Chapter 6: What shocking truths did Kameron uncover in his documentary?
But the one thing that I hear a lot, which people keep quoting, is Trump talking about the fish, the smelt fish in Southern California not having water because of protecting this little smelt fish. Yeah, I saw that. Right. People like Grant Cardone, others saying like, oh, the environmentalists, they're ruining California because they're trying to protect this little fish, right?
Chapter 7: Is there a humane way to slaughter animals?
Well, the irony is that if you look into the environmental organizations that are protecting the smelt fish, it's heavily documented that the commercial fishing industry is trying to protect the smelt fish because it's food for the salmon and the steelhead trout that they're catching that are going out to the markets that everybody around our country is eating.
Chapter 8: What is the historical significance of the Nazarene movement?
So I believe it's 40% of water is diverted because of the smelt fish to protect the smelt fish that could be making its way down to Southern California. But it's not, again, because the commercial fishing industry is putting the protection. So you've got that. Then on top of that, 50% of all water that could be utilized for Southern California is actually going to animal agriculture.
And 80% of all agricultural water period is growing alfalfa in California, which is the food for animal agriculture. So we're talking about large amounts of water. what I was thinking is like, it's just kind of ironic with everybody. I see what's happening, you know, and by the way, I consider, you know, I'm a Christ follower.
I also consider myself more on the conservative spectrum in terms of my values. But I'm looking at some of my heroes saying like, oh, the environmentalists, it's the animal lovers, it's the vegans. They all want to protect the stupid fish when the irony is it's the fishing industry that's causing the fish protection. And it's the animal agriculture industry that's literally taking 50% or more
of the water wow and that leads me to wonder like is that why we don't have water in the fire hydrants if you look into the public water data you see that this has major impact these the water is all coming from the same place so That is crazy. You've connected some dots I haven't heard yet on social media. Yeah.
So, you know, obviously there's all the question marks around the things that everyone else is talking about, but around this water piece, why wasn't there water in the fire hydrants? Again, I just, I don't want the rhetoric to get out there that it's just environmentalists and people trying to protect the environment and not caring about humans. It's actually the exact opposite.
It's people who want to keep the meat and fishing industry alive and the dairy industry, the dairy industry. consumes all that alfalfa, 80% of all agricultural water to grow alfalfa to feed dairy cows.
Holy crap. And that kind of ties into the documentary, right? Because you went to some of these dairy farms and you witnessed a lot of interesting things. Exactly. What were some concerning things you were witnessing at these farms?
Well, first of all, I mean, my backstory is that just I, you know, I'm the least and last person to ever really go on this journey. I was raised, you know, Christian and still am a Christ follower. But I was also a hunter, a fisherman, and I worked a barbecue restaurant in my teen years.
And I kind of woke up to this right as I was going into college and I was taking my faith more seriously and starting a career as a gospel musician. And that was when I did the Daniel fast, which is this biblical or scriptural kind of fast where you eat only vegetables that a lot of Protestants do.
