Myself served thirteen years on a fifty five 82 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 5: year sentence for nine dollars worth of cannabis. And I 83 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 5: got out, now you know what I'm saying. Yeah, when 84 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 5: I got out, you know, because of President Obama's clemency program, 85 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 5: and I had a lot of people pulling for me, 86 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 5: like Booker, Senator Mike Lee, the Koch Brothers, even We're 87 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 5: pushing for me. And I got out and I hit 88 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 5: the ground run, and I started working with the White 89 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 5: House and numerous senators and celebrities, and we got the 90 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 5: first criminal justice reform passed since nineteen seventy in the 91 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 5: federal system. However, it didn't affect anyone in prison for 92 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 5: cannabis cases. So when after we passed out, you know, 93 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 5: we were celebrating in the White House, I thought of 94 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 5: my friends who were in prison for operating a medical 95 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 5: dispensary in California who got twenty two years, And so 96 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 5: I lost the welding project. And our first initiative is 97 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 5: Mission Green, and Mission Green is dedicated solely to the 98 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 5: freedom of people in prison for cannabis. 99 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 2: Wow, congratulations, I've seen your story. 100 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 4: You've been on like several news like you've been on 101 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 4: national news stuff as well. Right, I've heard this story before. Yeah, 102 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 4: I hear what you're doing and doing. How do you 103 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 4: figure out who you're gonna help as far as is 104 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 4: it only cannabis or if it's cannabis and they had 105 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 4: methodphetamines and a gun, how do you narrow that down? 106 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 5: Well, so, right now we're focused on purely cannabis cases 107 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 5: because we feel like they're the low hanging fruit, and 108 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 5: especially with this president, it's not as easy getting clemency 109 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 5: as it was under Obama, and so we're trying to 110 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 5: narrow it down to like the easiest group of people, 111 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 5: Like we got a guy named Luke who was just 112 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 5: operating a medical dispensary modesto two thousand and eight. He 113 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 5: was indicted following state law. He didn't commit any other crimes. 114 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 5: He got twenty two years. And so we're looking for 115 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 5: people that fit this criteria and we're taking him to 116 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 5: the President. I have a relationship with the White House, 117 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 5: and we're asking for clemency for this category. And we 118 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 5: believe this will send a message to Congress that they 119 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 5: need broader reform to affect other people who may not 120 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 5: have such compelling cases. 121 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 3: Now do you find that that you know you're getting? 122 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 3: I mean, I guess you can't move the ball fast enough, right, 123 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 3: I mean, but is a small process or is this 124 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 3: a process that's Have you guys been successful yet, you know, 125 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: with obviously getting people like yourself out, I mean yeah. 126 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 5: I mean we got the guy I mentioned. His name's 127 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 5: Luke Scarmazzo. We were able to get his Cody fin 128 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 5: and out Ricardo Montes, they had the same case, and 129 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 5: I filed their clemency petitions to the President. One was granted, 130 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 5: one was denied. And so it's that random selection, you 131 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 5: know that we're trying to change because you know, right now, 132 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 5: the people who are deciding these cases are the prosecutors. 133 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 5: And so this president, you know, despite what people may 134 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 5: think of him, he created a clemency committee that takes 135 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 5: the discretion from the Department of Justice, who's the one 136 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 5: that put us there in the first place, and putting 137 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 5: it in a group of thirteen individuals who are some 138 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 5: formally incarcerated and people who are in politics in different areas, 139 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 5: and they are bypassing the DOJ and deciding these cases directly, 140 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 5: and so I believe things will start speeding up. Now. 141 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 4: I love hearing that about Donald Trump, to tell you 142 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 4: the truth, and I'm not a fan. I'm not going 143 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 4: to front nacock, am, but I love hearing you share 144 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 4: a good story because I want to hear more good 145 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 4: stories about this dude. 146 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: Why I'm happy to hear that, why did the committee? 147 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 8: Do they make any decision or say why they let 148 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 8: one guy off? The same exactly facts for the committee 149 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 8: that was the DOJ gotch Now the people that. 150 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 5: Put you in prison have the decision and whether or 151 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 5: not you get clemency because the presidents, they haven't traditionally 152 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 5: granted clemency unless the prosecutor stamped it right now. Trump 153 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 5: took that away from them and created an independent committee 154 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 5: that will look at these petitions, vote on him, and 155 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 5: send them up to the White House Council for approval. 156 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 8: How many of you presented under that format yet? If any, 157 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 8: I mean we present. 158 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 5: They've passed already thirty and we're just waiting on those 159 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 5: to come down. Well, just in February, I went to 160 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 5: the White House and hand delivered a letter to the 161 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 5: President asking him to start commuting these individual cases like Luke's. 162 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 5: And right after that, a female who was serving twenty 163 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 5: years for cannabis. She had served fifteen years and she 164 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 5: was released. But then COVID hit us, and so I 165 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 5: believe that kind of slowed it down. But I do 166 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 5: believe that we will see more cases coming. And we're 167 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 5: also working in the courts too. You know, we passed 168 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 5: some legislation that allowed judges to give these cases a 169 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 5: second look, and we're using Luke's as a test case 170 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 5: for that. 171 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 4: Cool we're talking to weldn from the Well Done Project 172 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 4: and he's making waves of blue and this guy amazing 173 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 4: what he's doing. Well, then, are you a lawyer by 174 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 4: any chance, as you served your of the thirteen years 175 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 4: in prison, did you get your degree in prison? 176 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 5: No? I got a lot of people out of jail, though, 177 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 5: and so you know, I just stayed. I had fifty 178 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 5: five years, so I didn't know if I was ever 179 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 5: getting now. So I buried myself in law books and 180 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 5: you know, and I got a lot of people. I 181 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 5: couldn't get myself out, but I was able to create 182 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 5: a coalition that eventually resulted in my release. Where a lawyer, 183 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 5: but I'm good. 184 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: Where are you located at? What area? 185 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 5: Salt Lake City, Utah. 186 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 4: That's beautiful what you're doing. And I'm just wondering. I 187 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 4: got these two lawyers that I do a show with 188 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 4: called The Cannabis Talk one on one. I'm wondering if 189 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 4: you could teach them how to get people out of prison, 190 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 4: because they're real lawyers. 191 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: And can't do shit for people. Definitely, I'm not sure 192 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 2: who he's talking to. 193 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 5: Strategies. 194 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 2: I will not be disrespected. I'm not talking about you. 195 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 3: Let's ask this, well, then, why why do you think 196 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 3: the president you know, created that policy you know what, 197 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 3: or allowed that policy to pass? 198 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 2: What do you think his thought process was. 199 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 5: Behind that you talk about the committee or the first 200 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 5: step back, the legislation. 201 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: The committee, the committee. 202 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 5: Well, you know, he's not a typical politician, and typical 203 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 5: politicians look at things like will this affect my reelection? 204 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 5: Will this affect my legacy. Given that he's not a 205 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 5: typical politician, he doesn't care. He doesn't factor those into 206 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 5: his decision making. You know, he looks to the people pleaser. 207 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 5: And so a lot of people have taken this to 208 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 5: his attention and shown how unjust this the system is. 209 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 5: Like Alice Mrie Johnson, who Kim Kardashian successfully lobbied the 210 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 5: president to let out. The pardon office denied her petition 211 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 5: like four times twice under Obama, once under Bush, and 212 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 5: once under Trump. And so you know that was evidence 213 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 5: alone that this old grandmother who was in there for 214 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 5: a non violent drug offense should have been out years ago, 215 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 5: and she had a life sentence. So he looked at 216 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 5: it like, Okay, this system is messed up. Let's form 217 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 5: our own committee and let's look at these ourselves. And 218 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 5: I think it's a good thing. Even if we let 219 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 5: out some of his his homeboys or some of his affiliates, 220 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 5: if we get out a lot of other people. It's 221 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 5: worth it to me. 222 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 8: Now, No, I'll tell you I agree, you know what, 223 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 8: if it works and gets people out one But I 224 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 8: disagree on his motives. His motives, I think are everybody 225 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 8: has denied this. Lady Kim Kardashian's come to me, this 226 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 8: is gonna look so good. 227 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 2: Look what I did for her. If that results, if 228 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 2: that result he's getting in this Donald Trump is gonna 229 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: look so if. 230 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 8: That results in people getting out, then I really don't 231 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 8: care what his motive is. I don't really care. I 232 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 8: think it's great and if that's what it takes for 233 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 8: him at this point in time, at the place he is, 234 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 8: for him to every politician though. 235 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 4: Craig, I mean, was there too. Obama would have been 236 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 4: the same thing. Obama didn't let her go either. But 237 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 4: my point is everyone had that. 238 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 3: Kim didn't bring him to the table though, you know 239 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 3: what I mean, Had Kim Kardashian walked up. 240 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 2: Coming at you. 241 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 3: Irashians, man, they're doing a great job. So so well 242 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 3: then you know, starting the welding project, obviously, I would 243 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 3: imagine you know, in your doing fifty years, you know, 244 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 3: thirteen years, you got a lot of time to think right. So, 245 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 3: so in that thirteen years period of time, did you 246 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 3: create it inside the tank or did you come out 247 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 3: of it creating it? I mean, where did it? Where 248 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 3: was it birthed? And then you know who's involved with 249 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 3: you in it? Now? 250 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 2: Are you solo? How's that working out? Yeah? 251 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 5: No, Actually I created when I got out of jail. 252 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 5: You know, I didn't know I would be getting out 253 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 5: when I did, and it was sort of sudden. And 254 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 5: so when I got out, you know, I started producing 255 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 5: the documentary. You know, that was the first thing we did, 256 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 5: just to kind of raise awareness. And then I ended 257 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 5: up at the White House and meeting with doing panels 258 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 5: with Corey Booker and Mike Lee and the Koch brothers. 259 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 5: I felt like I should use my influence and my 260 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 5: connections to effect change. And so, you know, one of 261 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 5: my former partners in the music industry, Big Hollis, worked 262 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 5: with me to create this nonprofit. We have other people 263 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 5: involved in this, including celebrities and athletes and political figures, 264 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 5: and you know, we're trying to take this to the 265 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 5: next level.

Prop sixty five 674 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 8: is the initiative, is the proposition, that's the law that 675 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 8: says you have to list everything that could kill you 676 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 8: on a you know, the what is it the vapors 677 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 8: at the gas station going to be harmful? You're in 678 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 8: McDonald's and it says something about whatever vapors. So they 679 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 8: added cannabis. Cannabis is on the list as it could 680 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:06,719 Speaker 8: kill you. 681 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 2: It What did they say, what's the reason smoking could 682 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,719 Speaker 2: be harmful to your health? You know what that's for smoking? 683 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,959 Speaker 8: If it's anything could be harmful to your health, not 684 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 8: not one, not one other drug or chemical that's listed 685 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 8: in Prop sixty five can actually help you. Cannabis can 686 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 8: help you. How it has to be on that much 687 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 8: of it? You know, we're not saying that, they're just 688 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 8: I think they're just categorizing it in the bad chemical 689 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 8: you know, in the bad chemical batch. 690 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just adding adding, you know, ship to the shame. 691 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 3: So so I think what it comes to, though, Craig, though, 692 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 3: is that when you can bust cannabis and the smoke 693 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 3: you know, the actual action of smoking, which is probably 694 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 3: the most harmful way to ingest cannabis, is by a 695 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 3: straight smoking. It is why they're doing it, and it's 696 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 3: just safety, you know. I would say, you know, I 697 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 3: don't think it's the end of the world, world, but 698 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 3: I certainly do think they should have more of an 699 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 3: information on there about that. Although when you say what 700 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 3: you just said, Craig and more information Blue, I'm actually 701 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 3: switching and converting a little bit because I'm thinking going 702 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 3: if anybody smokes that inflames their lungs period, there's no 703 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 3: question about what they're smoking. 704 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 2: It inflames the lungs period. 705 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 4: Now, what I'm smoking may help some other things, but 706 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 4: I'm still inflaming my lungs while I'm smoking something that's 707 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 4: helping something else and might even help my lungs later 708 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 4: as well. The point to the moral is if it 709 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 4: inflames the lungs and could cause harm, which is more 710 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 4: research that we need to prove this. I think they're 711 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 4: going off of maybe that theory alone, because show me 712 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 4: the death of the man woman that died from smoking weed. 713 00:30:54,800 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 2: It's probably there sugar sugar, sugar sugar warning sign, big 714 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 2: old thing going there because if. 715 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 4: This creates diabetes, creates losing your limbs, creates dying on there, 716 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 4: that's a great point. That's a great point. Donalds, isn't 717 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 4: on there, you fat obese basket and keep they're not 718 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 4: on there? 719 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 3: I mean you're you're right. I would actually question that night, 720 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 3: and I don't. I think we should sue them. 721 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 2: I think we. 722 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 3: Should do a class action lawsuit for not being on 723 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 3: there's just spearheaded. 724 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 4: Let's do It's a good point. 725 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 2: The counter back like, why why can't you?

They know what the way 731 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 2: we do things. 732 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 8: Some lawyers would go yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do it 733 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 8: and then you lose. We would say you're probably gonna lose. 734 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 8: But if you want to do it, I'll take the money. 735 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 2: That's how you do it, That's how we do it. 736 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 2: You wouldn't you just taking money?

I don't think the business that this person 831 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 4: sold cost to them thirty seven. 832 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 2: Million dollars to create. 833 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 4: I could be wrong, No, I could be wrong, but 834 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 4: I don't think I am. So my point moral and 835 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 4: maybe my point and mold of the story is maybe 836 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 4: you know, way you never know that. 837 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 2: Ninety thousand square foot building.

But no, here's you 839 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 2: still got them. 840 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:17,479 Speaker 4: Here's the guy that actually started Man started zero. 841 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 3: You might have followed money like Trump, he got involved 842 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 3: today with the difference I'm noting now. 843 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 2: He's on an architect. He found a grower and he's 844 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 2: put the pieces to the plug. Hey, what's wrong with 845 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,839 Speaker 2: you and other people up then? And by the way, 846 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 2: I see it right here at Craig, let me answer 847 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 2: your question. 848 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 4: Paying sixteen point three million dollars in cash, paying three 849 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 4: point eight million seller notes and eight percent. 850 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 2: Interest with curing in four years. Assume a seventeen million 851 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 2: dollars facility association with a long term complication.
