Mel Gibson let his imagination run wild while speculating on the “insane” circumstances surrounding the devastating fires in Southern California.
The A-list actor, who lost his home this week to the fires, appeared on Fox News The Ingraham Angle to discuss the poorly managed wildfires.
“Well, you know, I know there were messing with the water, letting reserves go for one reason or another,” Gibson said. “They’ve been doing that a while. California has a lot of problems that sort of baffle the mind as far as why they do things.”
“And then in the events like this, you sort of look, well, is it on purpose? Which, it’s an insane thing to think,” he added. “But one begins to ponder whether or not there is a purpose in mind. What could it be, you know? What do they want? The state empty? I don’t know.”

Host Laura Ingraham commented on “a big push by the climate folks” for high density housing in the state to replace single family homes.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s pretty scary. And it’ll take decades to do that, too,” Gibson said with a sigh. “It’s like even, even if it, you know, if it’s a good idea, which I don’t know if it is, but — reminds me of the old cattle barons clearing people off the land.”
Gibson: I can make all kinds of horrible theories up in my head… But, it just seemed a little convenient that there was no water… and that the wind conditions were right and that there were people ready and willing and able to start fires and are they commissioned to do so.. pic.twitter.com/1x2iZUBdub

“But I don’t know. I have, you know, I can make all kinds of horrible theories up in my head, conspiracy theories and everything else, but it just seemed a little convenient that there was no water and… that the wind conditions were right and that there are people ready and willing and able to start fires,” he continued. “And are they commissioned to do so? Or they just acting on their own volition? I don’t know. But they seem pretty well equipped. Some of these people that they’re catching.”
When Ingraham noted that there are a “lot of questions,” Gibson concluded, “I’ll sift through the remains of my place and see if I can find any clues for you.”
