Unless it's a big case and we 41 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: need to we need to show a force of power 42 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: by having this both show up. Is because I'm gonna 43 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: was it thirty years I was litigating and I'm gonna 44 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: lose it when the judge. Judges can do whatever they want, 45 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: whether they're right or wrong, no justification, and oh my god, 46 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, what do you say? What did you say? Well, 47 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: speaking of losing it, you guys, I'm gonna admit that 48 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: I lost it this morning and I got very emotional 49 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: watching the inauguration And the reasons why I got emotional 50 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: is because I watched a woman do something that no 51 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: other woman has ever done before in the history of 52 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: this world, and it made me feel like our world 53 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: is opening up its arms to differences. And I literally cried, 54 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: and I cried seeing the first Asian descent woman, first 55 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: African American woman, and I swear to you guys, I 56 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: cried about five times during the inauguration a day and 57 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: as I was watching it, yeah, exactly. I don't know 58 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: what it was. I worked out this morning. I was emotional, 59 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: but it was it was just so emotional, even the 60 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: speeches and everything else. And then it got me thinking, 61 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: you know what, even the Lady Gaga seeing a Jennifer 62 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: Lopez coming out there speaking some Spanish, having the first 63 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: Spanish senate lady come out there to bring in Kamala, 64 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: so many emotions. First to that was that was Sanya 65 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: Sodamayer of the U Supreme Court. Yes, seeing her come 66 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: up there too, was like, look at this left you know, 67 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: woman up there just doing it. It was just different 68 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: representation than normal white men that are always there. And 69 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: I've always ran this country. And to even think that 70 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has already, um, you know, brought up somebody 71 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: to do I forget what the what the program that 72 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: this person is gonna be overseen? But she's um a transvestites, uh, transgender. 73 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: She's been thinking trans she's a transgender. The person is 74 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: a transgender that we're bringing in, Joe Biden's bringing in. 75 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: And I just feel like when I see the transgender 76 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: coming in, different cultures coming in, that's what this country 77 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: is about. I want different perspectives. I don't just want 78 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: to be told by a white man, this is what 79 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: we all need and this is the best thing for us. No, 80 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: I think really need it. We really need to put 81 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: term limits on Congress. That's the other big thing. Mark Karnes, 82 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: who have you people listening to this podcast the same 83 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: way as well? And so do I. We had a 84 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: good debate about that. Why should someone who's seventy years 85 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: old tell us, who you know, tell our generation what 86 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: to do, who's so out of the loop, who doesn't 87 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: know shit about what's really going on in life? Because 88 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: you're taken so much n r A money, You've taken 89 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: so much fucking this money and that money. You've got 90 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: your homes all over the place. You've got a decent 91 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: salary of a hundred and fifty thousand, but now you 92 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: own all these big homes all over the world. It's fair. 93 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: It's fair for for anybody to be out there and 94 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: and and have the United States as their playground. Right. 95 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: But but it starts to be it starts to be 96 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: different when the country is changing. Our country is changing. 97 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: I think the minority is no longer the minority. So 98 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: it's not and that's why. And it's very difficult for 99 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: people to understand that. So so I understand it because 100 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: you know, I grew up in Los Angeles and it's 101 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: been the say it happens, been that way. But the 102 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: rest the country has slowly started to see that as well. 103 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: You know, you start going into these other countries now 104 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: you start realizing there's African Americans as black folks. There's 105 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: the Indian, Chinese, the Koreans, there's this whole divy bring 106 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: it up. Yeah, Afghanistans, you know, Arabic, there's and if 107 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: they've been here and they're a citizen and they're running 108 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: and they work their way up the ladder and they're 109 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: doing things for our country, even that just living so 110 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: just living states that's us now, like you know, there's 111 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: no there's no way, there's no way you guys think 112 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: it's going to affect cannabis. Well, that's what I was 113 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: saying as I had this big emotional time at the 114 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,119 Speaker 1: house earlier this morning and have these tears of joy 115 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: of thinking. And that's when I called you, Craig, and said, 116 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: please break this down for all of us, because I 117 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: don't know for sure, but my guts feels that this 118 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: is a big move for cannabis because we have three 119 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: states that don't allow anything to do with cannabis in 120 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: those three states, we have several states that just allow 121 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: recreational cannabis. We have some that just allow CBD. We 122 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: have some that have everything recreational or you want to 123 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: smoke whenever you want to smoke, you know, call it 124 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: what you want. What does it mean now that we thought, 125 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: oh my god, Bernie's gonna legalize it. Okay, Now Joe 126 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: Biden's gonna take Bernie's stance on this and Kamala is 127 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: on this bill trying to push the More Act. Does 128 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: this mean, which my gut says it does, that we're 129 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: going to see cannabis be legalized sooner than not. And 130 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: Blue is gonna win five hundred bucks. Yes it was. 131 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: I just say that's what I was thinking. You guys 132 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: don't have to talk about your bed. I'm just telling 133 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: you what I was thinking. And Blue is coming up 134 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: on five no, so listen. And not only that, we 135 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: even had we actually had a call someone call in 136 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: and said that you know, I was gonna win and 137 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,239 Speaker 1: you should just give up the money. Now that is true. 138 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: This over the Craig Mr Lawyer, Mr u c l 139 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: A graduates and everything else. Magnum kum laud lambda lambda, lambda, 140 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: and the Omega moves break down what this means. Remember, 141 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: Revenge of the Nerds actually an a pie. You're a 142 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: har pie a pie. You're really a fraturnity boy. It 143 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: makes sense exactly. We're good old boys. It makes sense 144 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: wher you're a baker and all that other good stuff. Anyhow, 145 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: who Craig, what is your professionalism? Tell us where cannabis 146 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: is going? Now? Can I sit at home and live 147 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: in Idaho and say are better? Yet I live in 148 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: Kansas where nothing is legal, and I go, yes, President, 149 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: it's not going to matter because even if the Feds 150 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: decriminalize it or take it off, the schedule is completely 151 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: It's still illegal in those states. There just would not 152 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: be exposure to a federal crime. Oh so once the 153 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: Feds take it off, it's not federally, but the states 154 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: can still make it a crime there, just kind of 155 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: like drinking. Well that they will have it a crime there. 156 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying, you can't be a federal charge. It would 157 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: be a state charge, just like the places where you 158 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: can't buy alcohol on Sundays. Ship like that. Right, So 159 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: the rollout go ahead, but we have a good chance 160 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: of getting there at a federal level because I'll take that. 161 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: I just won't go to fucking Wyoming or wherever the 162 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: hell is illegal. I'll never step footing that state, so 163 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: I don't really care. You know, at this point, we 164 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: need to get the federal exposure eliminated, and the way 165 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: we eliminate that is by getting rid of the federal 166 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: crimes and taking it off the schedule list. And hopefully 167 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: that's gonna happen sooner than later. I think we have 168 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: enough Republicans that have come out for cannabis, even at 169 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: the Senate level, that I think it might change. But 170 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: you still never know. You still have some conservative Democrats 171 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: at the Senate level that I don't know how quick 172 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: it's gonna change. And the other problem with these acts, 173 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: the More Act and the State Act Wall it was 174 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: kind of like Prop sixty four here in California. Well, 175 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: it's a good first step if you're in the weeds 176 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: in sixty four here in California. And regulation and license 177 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: like I am, it's a clusterfuck, and it's fucking on 178 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: the small guys. It's screwing people who have been in 179 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 1: the business for a million years. Wait till, wait till 180 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: this happens. Getting it's getting monopolized, that the taxes are 181 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: too high. Um market is the illicit market is thriving 182 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: because of the taxation, and I think unfortunately, the pool 183 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: of the taxes is going to get the federal legislatures 184 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: to potentially legalize it and complicate the regulations and and 185 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: add more taxes at a federal level to where it's just, 186 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, the regulated market's going to be a ship show. 187 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: All that being said, what are the steps though, What 188 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: are the steps that need to happen now that Joe 189 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: Biden's in place in Kamalos saying I'm gonna do this, 190 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do what what's gonna happen is what's gonna 191 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: happen is the bills that have already been passed, the 192 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: More Act and the States Act, have to be brought 193 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: over to the Senate. And now that we have the 194 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: Senate leadership and the Senate as the House majority, now 195 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: the Senator can go okay, the at the Senate level 196 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: can say okay, we're gonna debate this. We're gonna put 197 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: this on for a debate before Mitch McConnell as the 198 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: House leader, could literally take the bill like this in 199 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: my hand, I got a napkin, I'm holding it up 200 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: and drop it to the floor and it never came here, 201 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: going anywhere. No vote, no votes are gonna happen on 202 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: this done, no not' evenna talk about it. Done and 203 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: the story. That's how it works. So now at least 204 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 1: it'll get debated at the Senate level, whether it passes 205 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: or not. It's a good question. Now that is Nancy 206 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: Pelosi now the head of that of the House now right, 207 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: So she's the head Democrat, isn't she the she was 208 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: she was the head of the of the of the 209 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: House of Representatives. I think Chuck Schumer is the House 210 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: is the Senate majority now. So now Chuck will get 211 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: that Schumer and and he'll decide if we can vote 212 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: on this or not. And it's I go to if 213 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: it should go to committee, and then once it goes 214 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: to committee, it has to pass committee and then get 215 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: out of committee and then go and speaking only factually, 216 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: if it gets denied, say it's uh, fifty Democrats are 217 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: better yet some of the Democrats, because we know for 218 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: sure that some of the Democrats aren't for either, so 219 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: say it's forty. They were in the House and the 220 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: House of Representatives. It was a dred percent party line vote, 221 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: and every single Democrat voted for it okay, so we 222 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen again, then so you think it's 223 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: pretty much fact? I would hope so. And do we 224 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: think of the Republicans are gonna say yes because we 225 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: need what fifty of them? Or do we need forty? Well, 226 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: first of all, there's a hundred senators, right, we need 227 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: two thirds to pass legislation, So we would need seventeen 228 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: Republicans to jump ship. And wouldn't you think, of course, 229 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: this is only guessing that's venteen Republicans at this stage 230 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: of looking how the voting went for cannabis and all 231 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: their states, looking how people are you know, legalization to 232 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: some extent in their states. Wouldn't they speak for the 233 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: people and say, yes, I'm gonna pass this in those 234 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: seventeen states if we could grat seventeen there, you know, 235 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you make a good point, Joe, and I've 236 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: been saying this for a long time. We we have 237 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: way more than seventeen states we have we we have 238 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: way more than seventeen states where there's Republican leadership that 239 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: have oh that have okayed medicinal or adult use cannabis. 240 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: We already have that. Why haven't they already come out 241 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: and said let's do this. Their constituents in their states 242 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: voted for it, and they're still voting no at the 243 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: federal level. That's what's got to change. Why Why is that? 244 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: I think I think it's gonna be an easy pass, 245 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: and I think that it's gonna be taken out of 246 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 1: the hands of the people that have it now in 247 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: production for cannabis, you know, when we start going into 248 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: white like cannabis, you know, isn't federally illegal, it's because 249 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: the people that have had it. There's some really good 250 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: by the way, there's some really good operators out there 251 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: that are operating completely under the guidelines. But there's also 252 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people that aren't, you know, and so 253 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: even know they're they're in the now what we call 254 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: the green market or the white market or whatever. There 255 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: is no other market. There's the illicit market and there's 256 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: the legal market. Okay, so the people that are still 257 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: in the legal market right now that are operating, they're 258 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: operating in the illicit market to absolutely you know, that's 259 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: got nothing the wait wait wait wait wait no, but 260 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: that doesn't have to do in the sense of this 261 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: has nothing to do. What's what's going on at the 262 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: federal level because you're always gonna have the illicit market. 263 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: We know them, you know them, We've known them for 264 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: thirty years. Some people are never gonna change. They're gonna 265 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: buck the system, and that's what's gonna happen. They're never 266 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: gonna change. But no, it is that's doing at the 267 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: federal level. No, it does. It has everything to do 268 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: at the federal level. Because when it doesn't, why I 269 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with it. Let me let me 270 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 1: tell you why are you ready? Because right now, when 271 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: when the federal level comes in and you have people 272 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: like like Costco get involved, they're not gonna squeez. They're 273 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: not gonna be around no bush. They're not gonna kind 274 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: of work down the street in the back of this 275 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: little places Stanton or Westminster or Santa Anna. They're gonna 276 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: put together a major facility in every single little thing 277 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: that comes to that facility is going to the point. 278 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: I let me tell you something. I don't know what 279 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: you're talking about. You know, when we come back, we're 280 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: gonna elaborate more on what Mark Washerman thinks about this 281 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: whole inauguration day and what this means for cannabis is 282 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: Cannabis Talk one on when we were right back, right 283 00:14:49,720 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: back after this Welcome back to the Cannibis talking one 284 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: on one. We just lost Mark Awsome up right now. Yeah, 285 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: he is so sensitive? Has he always been that sensitive? Craig. 286 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: We we had Mark on with us and then he 287 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: just got sad and left and we busted his balls 288 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: because big brother has a new camera on him and 289 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't have his MinC with them, and I just 290 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: jumped back on and we busted his balls off the air. 291 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: You guys didn't get to hear it. Hung up and 292 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: then Craig goes and he goes, why do you want 293 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: to get on before you guys get done? We have 294 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: said either way, does getting back getting getting back to 295 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: what we were talking about, which was the federal you 296 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: were saying, the federal federally decriminalization or taking it off 297 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: the schedule list to allow banking and all that other 298 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: stuff doesn't matter and it does nothing to do with 299 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: the illicit market. Does listen? Listen, Craig, Let let me 300 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: explain to you the moment that they let banking come 301 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: in to play and it's not a cash game. The 302 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: moment that they allow these major, major, major I'm talking 303 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: about major, major hold on. But I'm saying you're saying 304 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I'm saying I'm saying, that's why the 305 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: structure isn't there, because big Brother hasn't gave him the 306 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: past yet. So you've got these people that have put 307 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: together a million, three million dollars to put together a 308 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: nice little a nice little Cadillac here in the back 309 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: of Stanton, Okay. And then all of a sudden, here 310 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: comes the fifty million dollar play and the hundred and 311 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: fifty million dollar play, and they just swallow them all up. 312 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: And I know because I've been the little guy my 313 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: entire life. I've opened up companies. I've had the the 314 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: you know, the manufacturer. I get a whole saying scooters 315 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: are illegal, and I've got a scooter company, and before 316 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: and then I'll get here, get Walmart, blow them down, 317 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: bowing them right by me. I don't understand what both 318 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: of you you are even arguing about. To be honest, 319 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: as I'm listening to you, I don't even get it. 320 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: I don't understand when the Feds, when the FEDS legal lie, 321 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: is it right? My argument is is that the structure 322 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: of cannabis will be rolled out through all the massive 323 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: you know, a store for the big corporation because it's organized, 324 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: organized the industry. He's saying, how does that have anything 325 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: to do with it? And I'm like, that has everything 326 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: to do with it. That's what's gonna help and organ 327 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: I do elaborate on what Blue is saying, which I 328 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: do believe is going to happen as well, which I 329 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: think is inevitable, right like, once this becomes freederally illegal, 330 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: and that's why I think it's gonna take a little 331 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 1: longer than we think. And if it does roll out 332 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: so fast, it's gonna be a major clusterfuck because you know, 333 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: when you get these companies like Blues referring to involved, 334 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 1: either they take over, which is yeah, that's going to happen. 335 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: They're gonna have boutique you know grows and these ones 336 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: who try to stay strong. Are they sell to these 337 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: massive farms that the little farms will sell to the 338 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: big cost goes the walmarts of this and that farms 339 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: they're they're gonna come into, they'll license their names and 340 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: get out the way. If they don't license the names, 341 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: they get steamrolled. No, this is this is the problem 342 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: with what you just said, though, Joe, we do have 343 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: clients that we're able to get in early on in eighteen. Okay, 344 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: let them get bought out. Let them make eight hundred 345 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: million dollars. I hope they do. But there's those The 346 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: licensing is getting so bad that it's hard for the 347 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 1: little guy to even get in. And that is my 348 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: worry at the federal level, when they do legalize it 349 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: and institute some kind of regulations, it's gonna just keep 350 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: pushing the little guy out, and not only the little guy. 351 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: Or you need to make sure they have their protections, 352 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: not just the big guy. Because you're right, Yeah, I 353 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: think I think you're both all right, which is funny 354 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: that there it felt like an argument, But you're both right, 355 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: and not only that, what's even more important to jump 356 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: on what you're saying, Craig. The little guys that are 357 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: getting pushed out, a lot of them are the minorities 358 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: that fucking had this cannabis on their back, leading it, 359 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, to where it's at. It wouldn't even thinking 360 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: at if the minorities didn't pay the price for this. 361 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just face it. I love African Americans 362 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: have been doing this black folks have been doing so 363 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: of Mexicans, they've been doing it forever. So many people's 364 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: street hustle money. Let's just say that it's gonna go. 365 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna get swallowed up. It's gonna get swallowed up 366 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: into this this whole federally illegal. I think it's gonna 367 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: be sometimes I think about it, think it's gona be bad. 368 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 1: It's bad for the little guys that have been doing 369 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: it forever. The little guys aren't even little guys. So 370 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: the their their medium sized guys. I mean, they're making 371 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: a healthy living, their own a home. They're doing well. 372 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 1: But hopefully, like Craig says, that happens. Amount of money, 373 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: what happens to the guy that owns the place in 374 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: let's call Hollywood. He's got three dispensaries. Okay, he's got 375 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: he's making five million dollars. They're making five million dollars 376 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: a year. And next month they rolled out through Costco 377 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: seven eleven liquor stores. That's when I sit there and say, 378 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: hopefully these dispensaries that are open or already have boutique cannabis, 379 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: strong cannabis, what's not gonna happen? That's better you think 380 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna keep it inside of dispensaries forever, just like 381 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 1: the liquor. The liquor stores not agree with you. It's 382 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: gonna go big. Like the same liquor that you can 383 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: buy a liquor store. You could buy a cheaper at Costco, 384 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,239 Speaker 1: or you could buy a cheaper at Walmart. I mean, 385 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: ain't gonna happen in three years. That slitch that you 386 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: have in the back of your shoulder right now? How 387 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: much bet that was the bet? Three years, it's gonna 388 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: be in Costco. No, it's gonna be in major, major, 389 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: like Costco. You know, I'm okay, whatever major organizations you 390 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: can try to. You can try to weeezle out of 391 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: widen it as much as you can, but it ain't 392 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 1: gonna be there no matter what. Dude. So you don't 393 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: think that that think about how fast we we be 394 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: not in three years. We got the home and it's 395 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: been forty years into making what's what's happening now has 396 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: been thirty years and you're making seven states in two years. 397 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: It's it's still adopted at one form or another. I agree, 398 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: it's still you know when you say for yourself to 399 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: station it hasn't been two years, my friend.

It hasn't been and it hasn't 402 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: been structured, and it hasn't been structured yet. You're saying, 403 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying three more years. You're saying, it's not happen 404 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: three years, dude. It's been twenty years and for this 405 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: and it's been rolled out enough for them to to 406 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: to learn the game and the game has been opened up. 407 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: My friends, I think we're gonna get some fast progress 408 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: if we see a committee being come together, so now 409 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: that we have we just had the inauguration, if we 410 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: see some new leadership, a new task just like they 411 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: did the COVID task group, this, the earthquake, that, the 412 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: weather this, you know, I mean, they need to put 413 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: a full on group to figure out all these regulations 414 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: that don't just fuck the guys that have been doing 415 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: it forever, which I don't think is gonna happen, but 416 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be washman, you know what I mean. It's 417 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: going to be a group of people that have to 418 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: come together that you know, spend the time to figure 419 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: out how they allow the big corporations to come in 420 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: because it's just what is going to happen. It's inevitable, 421 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, just like here in California. It's so 422 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: skewed in favor of the big guys, people with money. 423 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: It's just it's gonna happen. And once the game of guys, unfortunately, 424 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen and that term ready for the term 425 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: you guys, and you're all gonna say, you're right, it's 426 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: called business. It's what happens in business. If you open 427 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: up a company, a T shirt business, and this is 428 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: that Nike goes funk. I like what you're doing. Let 429 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: me buy that from you. You're doing that now we're 430 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: putting out those T shirts. The US have to get 431 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,120 Speaker 1: the same thing. If you guys get in first, Joe, Joe, 432 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: you gotta get in first before you can sell it. Well, 433 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I know, and none of this isn't 434 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: just like making a T shirt. You got to get 435 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: all the regulated permits and licenses and blah blah blah blah. 436 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: I know. But once they're going and they're selling like 437 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: they are now. But these cats, it's almost impossible for 438 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: them to get in, which is the problem, which is 439 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: another problem, which is what we have to address. We 440 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: have people that are addressing that and hopefully it'll be 441 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: addressed in any kind of further further bills that go 442 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: up to the Senate. And when we come back right now, 443 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: we're gonna hear how we solve these problems by the 444 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: wash Law himself.

As long as Mitch McConnell is Senate Majority, 538 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: is Chuck the new leader now he's not. Mitch McConnell 539 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: sent a majority leader. You tell me that the first 540 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: time you ever said it. But we'll go. We'll move on, 541 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: you know I because we got some really great factor 542 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: fiction today real quick, before Craig, we're gonna get you 543 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: factor fishing. I want the timeline from from Mark what 544 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: he thinks? You said it has to go to the Senate, 545 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: then legislative Mark, what is your intake? What have you 546 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: got down? It's probably gonna take two to four years 547 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: before it's all in place, all in place. Do you 548 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be in four years? Then at a Walmart, 549 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: at a Costco, at a seven eleven. I think that 550 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: it's probably going to be in those places in more 551 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: like five to ten years. Blue, And I bet five 552 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: hundred bucks three years it's in Walmart. Who said it's 553 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: in Walmart? Blue? Do you think Blue? I didn't say. 554 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: I did not say. I did not say Walmart, I said, 555 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: and cost you said, I said, I said, I'll be 556 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: very clear. I said that tobacco. Tobacco is produced in 557 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: all kinds of farms throughout the country. I said, do 558 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: you know who? Do you know who? Our biggest distributor 559 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: is for for cigarettes, I don't care Costco, and I 560 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: think it's gonna go through a very similar production. Said 561 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: in three years, I didn't say Walmart, is what I said, 562 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: and I did say in three years, I never said 563 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: Walmart though Walmart. I said it will be sold at 564 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: through a costco distribution life facilities that will get through 565 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: to seven elevens and liquor stores. Right, that's what you said. Yeah, 566 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: I totally disagree. Three years. There's no Wayne Hell either way, Mark, Mark, 567 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: what's that process of look like? If you still have 568 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: five bucks? You know what needs to happen. So so 569 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: the More the More Act should now we should start 570 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: to see some movement with Schumer in there as the 571 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: majority leader. The problem with the More Act is that 572 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: there's problems with the More Act, and I think unfortunately 573 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,719 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen is people are gonna vote like they 574 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: did for sixty four, which had major problems with it, 575 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: and we're seeing that now and it's gonna be more 576 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: of an infringement on people's right to have and use 577 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: and get safe access to to weed. Even backing the 578 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: More Act in the States Act, I mean there's good 579 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: stuff in it, there's bad stuff in it. It's just 580 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: it's screwed because but it is what that is. It's 581 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: the only thing there is. I get it. I get it. 582 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: So do we wait and say, wait, let's get something better? 583 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: Like sixty four? Maybe it should have been let's wait 584 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: till we get something better. No, but wait, sixty four 585 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: A lot of people to get out of jail. So 586 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: I mean, who's gonna argue it's it's they put you 587 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: in a tough predicament with the overregulations, and then the 588 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: stuff that actually is good well, and then it's gonna 589 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: and you have the expungements in there at the federal level. 590 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: So that's no. I know there's a lot of good 591 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: in there. But if you, you know, are our good friends. 592 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: Sean for Warriors wrote an op ed, I mean totally 593 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: against it, Like, don't vote for it. You didn't want 594 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: to the at the House level, don't vote for it. 595 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: It's got it's just rife with with problems. But that's 596 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen that that'll be addressed. Like and that's 597 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: the other problem that's gonna be. It's never gonna please everyone, right, 598 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: Like how can they make it right to where it 599 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: actually I don't think so, I really don't. No, no, no, 600 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: you're not listening. It could, but it probably won't because 601 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: of special interest, because of super PACs, because of lobbyists. 602 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: And that's why I don't think it's just say it could. 603 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: It's not those people that you're affecting it. But wait, 604 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: why don't you call us up out there? We want 605 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: to hear what you think. Actually I don't.
