85
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,680

86
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: COVID you know, did its thing. But now we're here,

87
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm a firm believer that the tea

88
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: and timing is far greater than the tea and talent,

89
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: right because we were trying to do this in two

90
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen early right, right when you got it, right

91
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: when you got exactly. But the timing of it now

92
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: is like, now we have three years worth of knowledge,

93
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: three years worth of success, three years of things that

94
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: we've done in the city to yeah, write something like

95
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: trials and tribulations of this work. This didn't I want

96
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: to go back scale though? Where do you come from

97
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: and how do you get in the game and becoming

98
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: the third this and fourth this? Like where does that politics?

99
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 1: Love come from? So it comes from because I'm from Atlantho,

Speaker 1: Sunny two. I was born in East l A. You know,

102
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,120

106
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: the last of the bunch. And my parents are just like, hey,

107
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,440

108
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: getting you know, let's move them away. Heyah, we're going

109
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: out to the middle of nowhere, right, And I've been

110
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: up to since I was five in and I loved him. Man,

111
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: you know, it was different and just like any young kid,

112
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, when there's not allowed to do, you find

113
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: things to do. Right. So that led to some you know,

114
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: young dumb decisions. Had some amazing parents. But you know

115

116
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: experience exactly life lessons. Right. So then I moved to

123
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: when I was out there, it was just I adapted

124
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: to the culture because I really think I was coming

125
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: back home. Like when I left to Hawaii, I had

126
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: no ambitions, no plans, you know, to to come back.

127
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: But you know, everything happens for a reason. You know.

00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: the younger kids, like really what it's about? What real

156
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: financial literacy? The stuff they don't teach us in school, right,

157
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: just putting people on game and showing them back and

158
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: um and yeah, man, everything happened. You know, I'm not

159
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: going to focus on the on the on the past,

160
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: but it most definitely I was challenged to, uh, you

161
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: know what, this is my city. I grew up here.

162
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: Let's just say, you know the streets of the city

163
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: very well, very well, very very well. You know, absolutely right.

164
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: I grew up of a Crippen's called the Chamberlain Way. Now,

165
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 1: but it was mold On, there was a boulevard called

166
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: Crippin explain that. So so on the north side of

167
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: the town where I grew up, it was called Crippin Avenue, right,

168
00:08:54,520 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 1: but what was cripping that It was really called Cripping Avenue. Right.

169
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: I'll go when I go back home, and I can't

170
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: live on this street. That was a big That was

171
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: a big issue because they actually named the street after

172
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: one of the Air Force captains, which his last name

173
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: was Crippen, right, But because of just that mind, like

174
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: that mind to the life. Right, there's a lot of

175
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: people that didn't want to invest on the north side

176
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: of town because of the gang affiliation, and so that's

177
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: what we changed the name to Chamberlain right, And that

178
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: was after the former mayor Chamberlain Right. So we did

179
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: all of that, man, But it was some great times,

180
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: and uh, you know everything happened around you know, seventeen ish, right,

181
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: that brought some quote unquote concern to the community. And

182
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, if it's meant to be,

183
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: it's up to me. And I went to prayer about

184
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: it and seek like my my my pastor's advice and

185
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: and talk to the family, and everything was like that

186
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: and anything you slowly happened, man, everything slowly happened. And uh,

187
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what I'm gonna do this.

222
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: title of mayor. But with the title gives me it's

223
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: just that access, right, and it allows those people to

224
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,840

279
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: painful position, right, and there are some key people who

280
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: believed and wanted to do something different. Right. So the

281
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: last administration that the other thing they brought they started

282
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,640

288
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: to find out, was just failed leadership, failed administration, people

289
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: with no vision and just sitting there unfortunately doing nothing

290
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: right and it was just sinking the city away. And

291
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: here comes uh, an aggressive group that has a vision,

292
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: and and and here comes cannabis, right, and and they

293
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: come in they're doing their thing, and uh, you know,

Speaker 1: for something, right, I don't grow for everything. No, he

307
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: I think he was taking some kind of money and

308
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: bribes and stuff like that. And this house was raided.

309
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: It was all over the news. Yeah I don't remember

310
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: the details. I mean, you know, but I heard about it,

311
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, and that really hurt the industry, right because

312
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: of that area too. For a minute, for a minute,

313
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: because people were concerned here go all these investments to goes,

314
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: all these opportunities, and now everyone's just like, oh, were

315
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: you the next mayor after this? Yeah? Which is which

316
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 1: is like it's like and then I remember seeing him

317
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: and they he took after the dude that we heard

318
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: all the drama about. I never seen that from a

319
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: distance that people were name his name was Rich Kerry. No,

320
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: his stuff is actually finalizing the mayor pro tim He

321
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: was actually just officially sentenced. And I think they hit

00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: him with like a like a heart thirty like years.

323
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: Another thing was like a minimum of ProTem um back

324
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: in September, Rich has uh I think they hit him

325
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: with uh didn't he corroborate hundred and sixty five years

326
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: or something like? Well the charges all totaled up to

327
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: like a hundred plus for like seven charges and his

328
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: court his hasn't started nothing like that. But we're just

329
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, with with with my administration and the council

330
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: and staff were just like, you know, let's move forward

331
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: for sure, like we can't feed no, no, you can't

332
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: even take any of that. Yeah, right, it happened, but

333
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: you have to have on it, but move forward. And

334
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: that's not us. And this is what we're doing to

335
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: go past that. And you know, and because your mayor,

336
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: like every other mayor, the book's open. It's all gonna

337
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: come outs. Caught him, folks, You're gonna catch me too.

338
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: So don't get it twisted. If it comes out, it

339
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: comes out. There's a lot of there's there's a lot

340
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: more positivity. And yeah, then then the negative, right, the

341
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: negative is easy to look at, you know, and and call.

342
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: But if you look at like people like Freddie that

343
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: you know that brought in you know, um, you know,

344
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: different growths and and and and you know, I can

345
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: remember Freddie, uh says, pulling me in and saying, you know, hey,

346
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: so he him and I didn't even know each other,

347
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: but I got a call that there's an attorney that's

348
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: working out there. And this is before any girls were built,

349
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: and that they were gonna let it be legal and licensing.

350
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: Everyone was talking about it, but no one was really moving. Atlanto,

351
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, was the first city in the

352
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: state of California to actually sanction grows and dispensaries the sale. Yes, right,

353
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: so we were the first for a lot. They truly

354
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: embraced the industry. Yeah, that's where like I said, I'll tip.

355
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: I had to him, I'm gonna I was. I like

356
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: to think I was a prioneer in the two because

357
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,239
Speaker 1: I met Freddy there and and Freddie and I had

358
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: known each other from being around, but weren't really friends.

359
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: And and and I remember someone giving me a call.

360
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: I think it was like Rascal or g Rascal or

361
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: some and he's like, yo, Blue, you gotta get out there.

362
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: There's yeah, and then you're going out there to see

363
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: the grows. And there wasn't a grow there. They were

364
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: talking about grows and I didn't even believe it. And

365
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: I'm standing in this like I don't know a hundred

366
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand square facility. I mean, this place is massive.

367
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: And they're like, we're gonna grow a double decker grow here.

368
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna do this. And I'm like in this building,

369
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm going, well, how much you guys trying to raise?

370
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: And it was like thirty or sixty million dollars and

371
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, like you know, for someone to be

372
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: And I always tell people this, when when you're talking

373
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: to an investor and you're asking for money, you know,

374
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: whether you're the investor or you're the person looking for

375
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: that money. If you ask someone for thirty million dollars,

376
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: and let's just say they're worth sixty, you're asking them

377
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: for half of their wealth, you know what I mean.

378
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: So you got to ask somebody for thirty million dollars,

379
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: it has at least three or four hundred million dollars,

380
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: it's willing to gamble, you know, ten percent of his money. Yeah,

381
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: not yet, but but but so I was there and

382
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: I think I don't remember thirty fifty million or whatever

383
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: they're looking for. And in my head I was like, damn, Like,

384
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: I know investors, and the investors that I would bring

385
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: in could spill ten million, they could even spill the

386
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: thirty but they're not going to because again, if they're

387
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: worth a hundred million dollars, it's it's a thirty year money.

388
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: Like it's too big of an investment, even if you

389
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: can start leveraging it. But but the fun fact was

390
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: is that shortly after you've seen a girl come up,

391
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: you've seen a dispensary pomp up, you've seen extraction labs

392
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: pop up, you've seen distribution pop up, and and then

393
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: the city started embracing it, and then it was all

394
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: public news and there was these things going on, and

395
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: then you know, you you now have a full ecosystem

396
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: in the city's orowing if I'm not mistaken, right, you know,

397
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: And and that's something that you now. You you were

398
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: in in the awakening of it all. You watched it

399
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: all happen, and then now you get to kind of

400
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: make sure it's growing in a in a way that

401
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: makes sense for the city and the community. And give

402
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: me some of those things that you guys have done

403
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: that you feel proud of for helping your city out.

404
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: So the biggest thing that I say is with everyone,

405
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: like they started building the plane, right, the plane of cannabis,

406
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: and it's on the runway, and my administration came in

407
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: and we tied en up the bolts and we made

408
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: sure that it took off right. You have to. And

409
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: I would say two of our biggest successes is, you know,

410
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: prior administration was maybe collecting two thousand a year in

411
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: excise tax um the last two years for us in Atalento.

412
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: Last year we did four point five million dollars and

413
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: excise tax this year finished off at four point seven, right,

414
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: So what the residents voted for we were able to

415
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: accomplish we're able to bring in that revenue, were able

416
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: to start balancing our budget. This my administration is the

417
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: first administration in ten plus years that balance the budget

418
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: without borrowing money from other accounts. To that is a computer.

419
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: Being physically you know, being physically responsible is something that

420
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,239
Speaker 1: Alva Lampo hasn't seen in years, right, So that's why

421
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: they brought the company. You guys were going in the negative.

422
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we were losing money, right and now this,

423
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: this city now is making all this from one grow

424
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: like blue walks out there was Freddy to one grow

425
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: to how many grows and how many different how about

426
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: this even to make the number bigger, how many different

427
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: cannabis different likes to grow. And there's also different things

428
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: with entities. How many different cannabis entities and licenses. I

429
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: would say we have about a hundred and twenty, like

430
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty five different type of licenses in

431
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: the city. So we have more than a million and

432
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: a half square of cannabis cultivation that's active. Once we

433
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: finish off some things that we have to address, right,

434
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: we're probably like operable when it comes to like our

435
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: licenses and grows. Right, So once we we we finish

436
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: off what we have to finish off. You know, there's

437
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: one of one of my aggressive goals is from the

438
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: cannabis industry alone, I want to get ten million dollars

439
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: coming into our general fund. Yeah, that's why I saved

440
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: the Mecca. Right, It's not one of these things. Just

441
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: how back in the day, everyone thought about Humble and

442
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: everybody thought about Amsterdam when it came to when it

443
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: came to marijuana, right, and I want them now that

444
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: it's cannabis, and yeah, it's gonna be alt another the

445
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: only Well, it's funny that we say that because in

446
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: my book, mhm, it's third right now, it's those two

447
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: and three. I mean in my book. Well, but I

448
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: alway go as far as saying it's actually, you know,

449
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: bigger in a sense that licensed right, licensed activations, real

450
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: real companies and and and more than not though even

451
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: bigger than the cannabis spectrum. You know, one thing that

452
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: you should be proud of that your city has been

453
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: doing and that you're part of of making history, is

454
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: that you guys are building the city. I mean, I

455
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: I drive into that town now, and and I believe me,

456
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: when I was there in fourteen or thirteen fourteen. Whenever

457
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: that was going on, there was no building going on,

458
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: Like I was hearing the town's going bankrupt. So I thought,

459
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, my mind was like, man, this is a

460
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: several times because I worked at Power one O six

461
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: at the time, and I remember hearing that several times.

462
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: And we should drive through the Vegas and I remember

463
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: being a topic of conversation as you say that, now, yeah,

464
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: the town in the town was hurting, We were hurting. Yeah,

465
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: and now the property values way up through the roof.

466
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: So here's an example, right, And when I got elected,

467
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: properties are going for like homes are going for like

468
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: a hundred and eighty to like two hundred thousand. Right,

469
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: no homes. Now when you look on Zello and everywhelse

470
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: around another Antho, brand new homes being built. Fo that.

471
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I know we got a little

472
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: bit of inflation in the number, right, but the fact

473
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: that we grew at a hundred thousand dollars right, just

474
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: in Cannabis alone, we've done two point six billion dollars

475
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: of tended improvements in the city of al Antho. Right,

476
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: But I would say, wow, were bringing home, We're building homes,

477
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: We're bringing in jobs, you know, and and livable weight

478
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: job career type jobs. Right. But I would say probably

479
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: one of the biggest things that I'm that that that

480
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm grateful for and that I'm I would say

481
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm extremely proud of of our of our council is

482
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: that vision over politics. What do I mean by that, right,

483
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: it's vision over politics. We have exercised three percent of

484
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: all of our tax to create a cannabis scholarship fund.

485
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: And I want to give a shout out to my

486
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: mayor pro Tim Daniel Ramos. You know, he spearheaded this.

487
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: He looked at some things from from Colorado and you know,

488
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: kind of mimic what they try to do, but they

489
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: went small. They're like, you know what we want to help,

490
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: you know, like fifteen hundred, two thousand dollars, right, two

491
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: kids to go to college and in Pueblo County and

492
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: things like that. He said, Man, man, let's go big.

493
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: Let's go big. Let's bless like ten fifteen kids with

494
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: like ten fifty likes. Let's change their life. Let's bless

495
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: them education. And I'll tell you what Daniel had told

496
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: me that the last time we linked up, you know,

497
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: and I want to cover that. Dude, I want to

498
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: help push that because you know, I thoroughly believe when

499
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: you're when you're giving back to your community like that,

500
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: like that's something you didn't have to do. We didn't.

501
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: You guys created that and made that a mandatory thing.

502
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: And now is the narratives is changing because there's more

503
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: cities need to start getting on board and doing that.

504
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: Right interview, Why you want to know why we do it?

505
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: The reason why we did it was because I understand

506
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: enough that the schools still don't get it right or

507
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: still don't support it. And there's politics in and that's

508
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: why I say vision over politics. There's politics and why

509
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: they don't want to take the quote unquote cannabis money. Right,

510
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: So you're gonna allow politics to limit you impact in

511
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: the future generation. Because let's be real, when kids leave

512
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: by the luntho part of us, they were leaving not

513
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: wanting to come back. If they went to college and Irvine,

514
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: they went to college in San Diego, they went to

515
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: college in Frisco. They're going and they're not coming back, deuces.

516
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: So for us, it's just like, what are we gonna

517
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: do to bring these kids back? Right? What are we

518
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: gonna do, you know, to provide jobs education. This city

519
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: actually helped me goes. It may not be the first bunch,

520
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: it may not be the second, but you got some

521
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: good weed growing. They might come back for that. They

522
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: want to look at that like because it's not just agriculture, right,

523
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: we looked at it as a whole and said, like

524
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: criminal justice, you know, software engineer. There's there's about twelve

525
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: different industries. And I'm not gonna take too much from

526
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: my mayor prop time because I want him to come here. Really,

527
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: but it's one of those things where there's twelve different

528
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: industries that you can pick from that you can go

529
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: to college for, just in hopes that one day you're like,

530
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: you know what, man, let me take my talents back

531
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: to Avalonto, right, let me come back and let me

532
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: give back to the end of the next marriage. I

533
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: don't want to be the best mayor. That's not my goal.

534
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: My goal is not to be the best mayor. My

535
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: goal is still that when you look at the history

536
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: at Alanto ten twenty years from now, thirty years from now,

537
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: you go back to the Rais administration, things changed. May

538
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: want to be wholeheartedly believe and I feel that you've

539
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: already changed the image. And look, because I forgot about

540
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: the negative venuendo of the city, but then now I

541
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: wanted to remember, and then I remember exactly where I

542
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: was at when I seen you from a distance and

543
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: me and the group of people talking about that was

544
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: the mayor of that that's taken over. And since that

545
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: conversation you have shined nothing but great light and respect

546
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: on the city of Atlanto. I appreciate that you know

547
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: what I mean, and you bring the level of like,

548
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: this is the way it's supposed to be done. Yeah,

549
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: and it's not even like, oh, look what I know.

550
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: Just thank you for your professionalism, because that's what we

551
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: need as a man, as a professional mayor, as a

552
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: city that's leading by example in cannabis and a quote

553
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 1: unquote Caboo city, stay whatever in the city of Atlanto.

554
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: Look what we did. Look what you've been doing now

555
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: so successfully and turning it around so much. The seat

556
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: now is so much built and it's so nicer, The

557
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: roads are nice. We've paved over ten million dollars in

558
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: capital improvements. There's a lot that we've done. You know, energy,

559
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: more energy, more energy. We completely offset all of our

560
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 1: solar in the city by going you know, with solar, right,

561
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: bringing over seventeen million dollars back to the general fund

562
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: over the next twenty years. It's just being financially responsible,

563
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: looking at things a different way, right, just how we

564
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: did it with cannabis. We looked at in a different way.

565
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: We saw the benefits, we saw the pros and some cons.

566
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: But it takes good leadership. It takes people who really

567
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: understand that this is the long term play, this is

568
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: a long term vision. Right. I look at Atlantho. You know,

569
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: cannabis for sure is a gate way drug for the city, right,

570
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: you know that's a stigma whether they put out there. Right,

571
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: But but what but what the way? What do I

572
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: mean by I'm I love to change the meaning of words. Right,

573
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: It's bringing in the gateway, right, it's bringing in the developers,

574
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: is bringing in the investors and bringing in everyone, right

575
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: who who would have normally just driven past other Lanthor

576
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: and Gona Vegas never even know about, never even known

577
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: about the city. Right, So now they're here, now they're

578
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: growing now there and that's why that's why for me,

579
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: it's like showing that love back to the back to

580
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: the industry back to the community because we can't do

581
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: this alone. We can't. It's a community, right. It takes

582
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: a village to raise a child, right, So I know

583
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: the cannabis industry is in the mazing industry. I got

584
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: some amazing people in the city. And guess what they're

585
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: gonna say once that cannabis adventure is established and doing good. Hey, Mayor,

586
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: do you need some affordable housing? Hey Mary? Can we

587
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: do this? Hey Mayor? How can we help here? Hey Mayor,

588
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: how can we do this? Hey Mary? Let me introduce

589
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: you to my other friends who are specialists in robotics

590
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: and AI. Yeah, it's gonna build my new business out

591
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: there because I was over here and now I need

592
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: to build it over there. Well that's a huge point,

593
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: right because you talk about like, you know, the cost

594
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: for square foot in California is still one of the

595
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: best places in the world to build. I mean, I'm

596
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: talking with Freddy earlier and he's saying, you know, look

597
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: like where can you where do you have that much

598
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: land that you can actually build in California? That's not

599
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: so far. I mean, you know, I used to know.

600
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: I used to think to drive on man, we gotta

601
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: drive out there. You know. Now I'm like, oh, we're

602
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: going out there. Boop, It's not it's nothing. It's really

603
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: used to complain about it every time. And now he's

604
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: the Thursday we're going. But you know, I'm going out

605
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: there all the time because and then I'm like, you know,

606
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: it's not that far. And and honestly I've already like

607
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm here up here talking right now and comtemplating myself

608
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna buy a house there. I'm gonna buy

609
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: some property, which we're talking about, you know, buying some

610
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: land there rights. But now that's the same thing I'm

611
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: saying now that you're gonna be so mad that you

612
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,479
Speaker 1: didn't do it now because you're in What I thoroughly

613
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: believe is we know that Victorville is out there. Victorville

614
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: got developed fairly quick. Apple Valley, right, what's next, So Avelanto,

615
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna be the gem of the Victor Valley, right,

616
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: because the gem of the Victor Valley, right, because the

617
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: Victor Valley is a commuter region. Everyone drives to Ontario,

618
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: everyone drives to Rantricalmo for the jobs. The jobs are

619
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: down the hill, right. Well, if I can build industries

620
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: like my cannabis industry, like traditional manufacturing, traditional industrial jobs,

621
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: bringing in robotics, bringing in artificial intelligence, bringing these cyber security,

622
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: crypto things of that sort. Bringing that to Alolanto gets

623
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: the people are gonna be looking for career ships. Right

624
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: if I don't got to drive down the Rancho, but

625
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't gonna drive to Ontario, and I can just

626
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: transfer my career and transfer my skills to Alolanto. Now

627
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: we got the workforce. Now moms and dads can be

628
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: moms and dads because they're not stuck three hours a

629
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: day on the road. It's gonna go down the hill.

630
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: They'll be home, They'll be able to get their family

631
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: time back, right, They'll be able to go to the practices.

632
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: We'll be able to be with their children are because

633
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: the reality is sometimes parents got to work a second job,

634
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,719
Speaker 1: a third job, not just to provide, but to make

635
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: ends meet, you know. So if we can have the workforce,

636
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: the workforce development, the workforce creation, and now the lantho

637
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: that that's our role. Right. I'm not trying to be Victorville,

638
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: not trying to be up of Valley. I'm not trying

639
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: to be a Sparria. We got our own identity. We're

640
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: gonna blossom, We're gonna blow up. Literally, you know, we're

641
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: gonna grow the city, no pun intended, but we're gonna

642
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: grow the city and play our role. You've already ten nexted.

643
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at what's what what's out

644
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: there again? I mean I remember, and we're talking about

645
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 1: from fourteen too. It hasn't been that long. I mean

646
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: it's made leaps and back. But here's the crazy part, right,

647
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 1: here's one thing that I don't want people to neglect.

648
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: Two years we were dealing with a global pandemic, for sure.

649
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: You know what. It wasn't like I just had a

650
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: full three years of these hunky dory, easy smooth sailings.

651
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: Like I'm one year into mayor and that time happens.

652
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: So for us, right, it gave me more time. It

653
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: was actually been official, right because I'm used to zooms.

654
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: I've been on zoom, I've been on webinars, I've been

655
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: on on all these teleconferencing services for like the last

656
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: eight years. I've been doing business virtually in Australia, New Zealand,

657
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, Japan, all over the world. I'm already used

658
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: to it, right, So when it shifted to having to

659
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: work from home. You know, A busy day for me

660
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: my city manager was like three meetings. We'd have one

661
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: in Atlanto, we'd have one in in in like Upland,

662
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: and we have one like in the city down here

663
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: in l A. And we're like, oh man, we had

664
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: a productive day because we had so much time on

665
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: the road. Well, now that everyone is shifted to having

666
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: to do business on zoom and do business from home

667
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: every you know what I mean? It was like every hour,

668
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: like we got six meetings today and we got six meetings.

669
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: We gotta, we gotta we got eight o'clock, nine o'clock,

670
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: at ten o'clock, two or three and four? Is that cool? Bet?

671
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: Let's running, you know. So that's why all those things

672
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: that I do, the you know, the motivational speaking, the solar,

673
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: all the different niches that I'm a part of it

674
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: because I need my time, right you know, And I

675
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: understand that that I have skill sets that I can

676
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: apply to buy me my time. What do I mean

677
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: by that is like I can go and help four

678
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: or five families out switching a solar and switching to

679
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: renewable energy, and that doesn't I don't have to stress

680
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: about providing for my family because there ain't no money

681
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: in in in the mayorship like this is a legacy move,

682
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: this is a purposeful move, right, So I'm able to

683
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: do what I gotta do and still be able to

684
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: go you know, hand in hand and and and and

685
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: talk to investors and talk to you know, and really

686
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: showcase and sell the city of Alno via zoom. So

687
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: that just helps us. Going to tell you, Mayor, I

688
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: am such a fan of solar. I look at people

689
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: who don't have solar because, in my opinion, everything we

690
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: can talk about up here unless it's number and not factual,

691
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 1: anecdote or whatever. With solar, the numbers don't live folks.

692
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: When they tell your bill goes down. And here's why.

693
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: If you were paying, it's just you simple numbers, one

694
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: d dollars a month, right, and then you get solar.

695
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: Oh they're making me pay for my solar loan. How

696
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: much is that? You're paying a hundred bucks a month?

697
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: They're making me pay seventy Okay, so now you're paying

698
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: seventy bucks a month instead of the hundred off and

699
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: then you're done paying. Thank you Blue. That's the kicker

700
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: it paid off, you're getting a rebate you and you've

701
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: got a rebate off top for it. Down in my head,

702
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't work for those Solar like. I believe it

703
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: that much. I love Solar. I think it's a it's

704
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: the best thing out there, and it's a utility that

705
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: continuesly has gone up four percent year over year over

706
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: year over year. Sure, And if you look at it,

707
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: if you pull up a soul like with with with

708
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: you know PDF, right, you look at a bill for

709
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: this one, and you look at the bill three or

710
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: four years ago, you're gonna notice peaked tears. Especially, you

711
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: know up there in the high desert, you're look at

712
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: forty one. It's a kill a lot be four it

713
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: was like nineteen. What a difference, You see what I'm saying.

714
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: So it's just we can go on and on and on,

715
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: but it's just finding the waste to be able to

716
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: make sure that I'm available, to be to be able

717
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: to showcase and promote my city. You know what, Listen,

778
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: that you're doing UM and the and the the community

779
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: embracing the cannabis community. And I want people to to

780
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: know this. I mean, most of our listeners know because

781
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, you know, most of our listeners are are

782
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: are you know, advocates for cannabis, right, I mean, they're

783
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: not the guys that are against it, but we do

784
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: have some that that that are still trying to learn

785
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: and get themselves out of the green closet. Maybe they smoke,

786
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: but they can't talk about it or they have an

787
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: opinion towards it. And it's funny that I still get

788
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: challenged with people as early as last week that we're here,

789
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: and then, you know, we were having an event and

790
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: these guys are like, you know, he's like, man, I

791
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 1: would never have my kids. You know that my kids

Speaker 1: are asking me all these questions about it and this

793
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: and that. And I sat with them and I go, listen, man,

Speaker 1: need you to come by and I need you to

799
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: sit with us and have an event here. And he's

800
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: like yeah, but I don't want to get stone. I'm like, look, dude,

801
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: just come here and sit down. And this guy pulls

802
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: up and there's you know, there's you know, Rolls Royces

803
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: Ferraris out front, there's nice vehicles out front. People are

804
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: sitting here, ceo CEOs of companies that are that are

805
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: not only just cannabis, but have crossed over into this industry. Attorneys,

806
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: you're talking about real estate agents, you know, investors, doctors, Yeah,

807
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: real community you know people. And and then I sat

808
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: with this gentleman and he's just I'm like, listen, you know,

809
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: you have to realize our country would never come out

810
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: and say there was a medicinal value unless there was.

811
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: There's no way. So for them to say there's medicinal value,

812
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: and you're still gonna play that card on me, I said,

813
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: you better check your facts. You know, I love you,

814
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate your you know. And he wanted to be

815
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: a police officer. But you know, and I said, listen,

816
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: your your your mindset is okay to have not mad

817
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: at it. But again, remember if they're saying there's medicinal value,

818
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: you better believe the United States is not just so

819
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: there's medicinal value for a cash grab. Ain't putting that

820
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: because the game is too smart. The world's gonna call

821
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: it out like they see it. And this is why

822
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: the world, our world knows, but there's so many people.

823
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: But this is why, you know, our elders, you know,

824
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: in the community need to you know, educate themselves because

825
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: there's so many children out there with epilepsy and cancer

826
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: and and different things that are being helped and treat

827
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: it with cannabis now. And some of them are unsanctioned,

828
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: meaning that they're doing it with people that are you know,

829
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: what you might think as a witch doctor, you know,

830
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: but the truth is is that the anecdotal evidence, the

831
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: proof that they're watching getting done isn't ripping through their child.

832
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: And and what I mean by that is that you know,

833
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: there's a kid that may get something from the from

834
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: the hospital that helps him, but it also says, hey,

835
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: if your child uses his has to use it for

836
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: the next six months, he may have brain brain damage.

837
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: And but and so you're gonna give him that or

838
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: heard that and let them have some kind of brain

839
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: damage instead of saying, hey, you can provide cannabis to

840
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: your child and it's non addictive and it will definitely

841
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: suppress the you know, the problems that you're it may have.

842
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: So this is this is where you know, people like yourself,

843
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 1: and being young, you know, turns into something special because

844
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: you're somebody that doesn't have this old mentality that grew

845
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: up in a town. And if you and I thoroughly

846
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: believe if you thought that this was bad, you would

847
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: turn it around. Now he'd be there turning in around.

848
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: He's one of the guys that's in his church, he's

849
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: one of the guys that's one of the businesses. He's

850
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 1: one of the guys that really wants to help and

851
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: come back and help his community because he was young

852
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: kids doing the right things. And as the mayor, he's

853
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: doing the right things. And you hear it in his walk.

854
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: By everything you just said, I agree all those character

855
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: and analysis of those of your walk. The church demanded

856
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: this the business owner. Those are character analysiations, analyzing somebody

857
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: going this is what he does. And now you're the

858
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 1: mayor and looking at what you're doing with the mayor

859
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 1: and hosting events like this, Do you get to pick

860
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: and choose what goes on in the city. Just people

861
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: come to you, hey, can we do this big concert,

862
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: Can we do this event that event? Can we do

863
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: something at a different event? How many different event are

864
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 1: there in Atlanta. So one thing that I love to

865
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: do is put the aces in their places, right. And

866
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: I have an amazing stadium manager and Darryl Courtney, who

867
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: has really gone above and beyond to bring world class

868
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: entertainment to a stadium that was fading away. Right, it

869
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: was a baseball stadium. Uh, the world work. He's converting

870
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: that CEWED because we're a team, were converging, converted over

871
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: to an event plaza to really bring in these these events,

872
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: not just amazing cannabis events, right, but like my my

873
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: family and I, we threw an event in May called

Speaker 1: a festival and an authentic lue while because there's more there.

879
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: The thing about the region is we've got six hundred

880
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: thousand people in the Victor Valley and no major entertainment

881
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: component has been identified in the region, So why not

882
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 1: the other land the events center, right, and it's been amazing.

Speaker 1: big d M festival that's coming. Uh. You know. An

890
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,600

00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: of people do like an October fest, like a beer fest.

892

898
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: it may it may not be good actually, but but

899

909
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: bless you, thank you, thank you, Yeah, thank you for

910
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: putting shirt not just on my face, towards you and

911
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: what I towards you, Not the mayor started my faith, No,

912
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: but but I think it was your vision that that

913
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: propelled a lot of this to happen, and that bottom line,

914
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: brings more revenues to the city. You know, you've got

915
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: gas people pulling in for gas groceries about the break ground. Really,

916
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: we're moving, man, and we're growing. Um, we're making stuff happening. No,

917
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: we'll have them all over invictive what we do, right,

918
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: but we're most definitely bringing it all in full circle. Right.

919
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: But it starts. It starts with livabool jobs. It starts

920
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: in then the housing and all those other things, and

921
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: we're there. You guys got the landed building more developed

922
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: is fifty square foot miles and we're less than eight

923
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: percent developed. We're not rebuilding, we're building a city. It's

924
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: legit field the dreams. If you build it, they will come.

925
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: That's the mindset. That's the mindset that we have. Right.

926
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: And what else about what you're talking about, like, and

927
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: I want to touch on this, just like to show

928
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: my support to the industry, is you know the stigma? Right.

929
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: I just had a conversation like last week with with

930
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: the with with with the father about Canada's right And

931
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: I said, what do you want to hear Gabriel's point

932
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: of view or the mayor's point of view? Because I

933
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: have two different point of views, right, Like, well, let

934
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: me hear Gabriel's point of view. And I was like, okay, cool,

935
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: pick your plant if you really want to get down

936
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:12,280
Speaker 1: to it. What a pharmaceuticals made from plants? What plants exactly?

937
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: What real life addictions? Right? Just because someone vouches for

938
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,399
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it's good for the body. So pick

939
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: your plant, cannabis or all the other ones where you

940
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: can see true struggles and true addictions and things that

941
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: people really don't know how to get off of. Right.

942
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that one is right and one is wrong,

943
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is, if you're gonna scrutinize and

944
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: attack in the grain, and the little one treat the

945
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: same way the other one exactly. Well, anything about that?

946
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: And again, if they trusted in the United States, they

947
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 1: trusted in what the people have said. And so they've

948
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: said that, hey, OPIOI is what we're gonna use to

949
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: help you with your pain, saying and now I'm saying, Hey,

950
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: they're coming out saying this plant can help you with

951
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: your medicinal you know issues. I'm a true testimonial for pain.

952
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 1: I have it down now. I just figured out my

953
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: anecdotal Edible. I've never done edibles. I was on the

954
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: phone before the show talking to the edbility in their company.

955
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: My wife's never done edible in her life. Are you

956
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 1: ready for this? She just didn't edible for the first time.

957
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: Not only did she do it edible, I never did

958
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: an edible. Well, I did brown back and I have

959
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: illegal license edible. You know what I'm saying. How about that?

960
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: I never done illegal one, right, I've only done the

961
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: bootleg ones back in the day, and therefore now I've

962
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:38,240
Speaker 1: micro ghost up to uh an edible and a half.

963
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: But I've only done the edible and a half. I

964
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: did the other half. Like an hour into my first

965
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: edible point, No, it's really still hurt and I need

966
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: more because I cleaned the garage and I anecdotally figured

967
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: this out, and that's the most I've done so far.

968
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: I don't suppose to it, but I've done that with

969
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: the pins, and I've shared this with my wife that

970
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: made her do in edible because I've in a much

971
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: elaborate form of baby because when I first started doing it,

972
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: I for sure hitting the pin. I just walked her

973
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: through my whole process. I just took about an hour

974
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 1: and a half, to be honest with you, because I

975
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: have it so down of how I use it for

976
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: medicine that I explained it to my wife that way

977
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 1: and then said to her, do you want to try

978
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: an edible? Because she just had a no sceptum where

979
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: she can read better now and she's in pain, and

980
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,439
Speaker 1: she's taking these meds that I could still be taking

981
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: the same pills I could still be taking taking and

982
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: I go, look, I'm not taking those. I'm eating edibles

983
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: and I'm hitting this pin throughout the day. I don't

984
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: just sit there and get twenty hits in a row,

985
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And keep it pushing and

986
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: keep it. And my point is, I did my research

987
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: with everybody we've interviewed, and I found out that that

988
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,439
Speaker 1: would be a periodical. What it does is it keeps

989
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: me less pain. I'm still in pain, just like if

990
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: I took that other pill, but except the differences. Ready

991
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: for this, When I take the other pills, I have

992
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: a magnet that goes from my nose to my top lip,

993
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: and it goes with that pill because you get all

994
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 1: stupid face when you're on those pills, you know what,

995
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: and you have what When I take those pills, the

996
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 1: pain pills, I feel like, oh god, I get a magnet.

997
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: Was like, well, yeah, I've never heard of that. I

998
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: feel like I get him, you know how? Yeah, you

999
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: get this feeling because you're on I know, my lip

1000
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,240
Speaker 1: goes in my lip, my top lip goes in my nose.

1001
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: Feel and I'm like, I don't want to feel that way. Sure,

1002
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: I found out how my body feels when I take

1003
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: those pills because I've just been on the surgery. So

1004
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: I told my I don't want to feel that way.

1005
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: And now when I take this cannabis, I can get

1006
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: to the same pain relief because I know what the

1007
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: pain relief is now, and I can get there on cannabis,

1008
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: which is crazy to think because I never get it

1009
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 1: was over twenty three years. I still feel like I'm

1010
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 1: sober twenty three years. I'm just using this as medicine.

1011
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: You know, I'm saying that I hadn't crack my sobriety.

1012
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:52,320
Speaker 1: I freached this to the world. I'm anecdotally using cannabis

1013
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: as medicine. And here's my regiment. And the thing is

1014
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: is prior to that, you were how many years, So

1015
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: we're in just general just in know. I'm still I'm

1016
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: still running to you because twenty three plus years, I've

1017
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: never and I still don't smoke joints, and I'm not

1018
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: gonna join our blunt what's the other dabs and all

1019
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: that other good stuff that I like and want to

1020
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: smell and love it and courage go ahead. But to me,

1021
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: the pins are in a fork, cleansing, relaxing, pain relieving,

1022
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: feeling that makes me feel, not that magnet field, and

1023
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 1: then the stomach, oh, and then and the sweats and

1024
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: the diction. I mean, there's so much more that goes

1025
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: into this. I mean, you know, if you start taking

1026
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: I'm I've been in pain, right, and and then I've

1027
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: taken it for recreation. Used to write like I'm like, oh,

1028
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try this. You know, I'm at the river. No,

1029
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm talking about hills, right, I like, yeah, like like

1030
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: I've been out in the river, you know what i mean.

1031
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: And I'm like it would partying and drinking and they're like, yeah,

1032
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: take a pill, and I'm like, oh, whatever, you know,

1033
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: I try one. Next thing I'm trying to and I'm

1034
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: like wow, you know. And there was a point where

1035
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: because I had a major back pain during this and

1036
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: I was taking it and it wasn't from a dark

1037
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: I was just like whatever, And there was a point

1038
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:06,320
Speaker 1: where I felt that pain go away, and I was

1039
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: on more Viking than ever took in one setting. But

1040
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: it went away, and I was like holy shit. You know,

1041
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: They're oh, I felt so good. I was like, holy cow.

1042
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: But the next day, not even the next day, several

1043
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: hours later, I'm over here sweating and feeling all sick

1044
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: on on what the hell did I Why do I

1045
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: feel this way? And someone's like you gotta take more?

1046
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: And I'm like if that you know what I mean,

1047
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: Like I'm not you know, what I mean, I'm not

1048
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: taking more like the problem with those drugs. How about this, though,

1049
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: let's contradict and everything. I'm still having to do that

1050
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: with cannabis. With the difference is it's not sucking me

1051
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: up like those pills. So let's let's go then, say

1052
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: with cannabis, folks, there's no difference. If you've gotta keep

1053
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: taking it, right, you have to keep taking it in

1054
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: these in these scenarios of whatever medicine you're using, the

1055
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: differences with that medicine that you have to keep doing

1056
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: it sucks you up worse than this medicine. Yeah, I

1057
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 1: was like a personal test one in the family, right.

1058
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: I had a brother who got diagnosed with cancer. And

1059
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: this was back in the like nineties, like late nineties,

1060
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: early two thousand's, right, And he went that natural route,

1061
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: right really when he got a medical card and he

1062
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,720
Speaker 1: didn't he chose not to do the chemo or anything

1063
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: else like that. And he smoked, he smoked, and he smoked.

1064
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 1: And you know, my mom struggled with the typical latina,

1065
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And sure enough, man, my

1066
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,879
Speaker 1: brother to this day, oldest, old oldest in the bunch,

1067
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 1: he's about to hit sixty five, you know what I mean.

1068
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: He did it for his treatment got curative cancer and

1069
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: had probably no he doesn't here smoking smoke a He

1070
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 1: literally the minute the doctor said he was curative cancer,

1071
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 1: he stopped smoking. So so I was like, yesterday, I

1072
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 1: have a very similar story I want to share is

1073
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: that yesterday there was a gentleman that that was on

1074
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 1: the phone with us randomly and we know Ralph. Ralph

1075
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,800
Speaker 1: actually introduced us to him. Yeah this and he introduced me.

1076
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 1: He's like, oh my boys, a fighter and um, you know,

1077
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: He's like you need to meet him. And I was

1078
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 1: like cool. He didn't even tell me about this story.

1079
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: But yesterday I finally met him on you know, on FaceTime.

1080
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: You know, Mark and I were in here, you know,

1081
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 1: as he's an influencer and he's cracked jokes and stuff

1082
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: like that. Right, he's hilarious, but he says, you know,

1083
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 1: I really he says, I really gotta get on your show.

1084
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: And you know, we we tried to bring people on

1085
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: that that it makes sense to bring him on for

1086
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: right and and I was like, oh cool. You know,

1087
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: I was like, I'll let you on. You know, you've

1088
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 1: got a good following. It be you know, good mutual

1089
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: benefit for us or whatever. But he's like, I have

1090
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: had I had one of the most rarest cancers in

1091
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: the world. And there's to this day, there's out of

1092
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: seventy there's been seventy cases of people that have it.

1093
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 1: I'm the only one that survived it. And yeah, well

1094
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: here's this story. So God, not only did I give

1095
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,399
Speaker 1: me turn my stomach in a different way way, Dude,

1096
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: he says to me, He says, you know what's crazy,

1097
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: he says. He says, I was looking for the answers,

1098
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: and he said, I met this older gentleman, he says,

1099
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: And the guy says, I'm gonna tell you the secret

1100
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: about how you can save yourself. He said, it's up

1101
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: to you from this point forward. He says, but I

1102
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,760
Speaker 1: promise you follow this regiment, you'll be fine. And says, okay,

1103
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:02,359
Speaker 1: you know, and he didn't think of it as too much.

1104
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: And the guy goes fast all day and eat one

1105
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: time a day. He says, eat high proteins, fast once

1106
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,879
Speaker 1: once it ever, just eat, don't eat anything, just eat

1107
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 1: once a day within an hour window. And he goes,

1108
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: that sounds crazy, you know what I mean, Like I've

1109
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: never done that you know so and he says. The

1110
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: second thing is drink only alkaline water. And he said,

1111
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: and the third thing is optional, he says, but highly

1112
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, um aggressive and it will help. Is in

1113
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: just cannabis. Did he see alkaline water throughout the day

1114
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: or just through that one hour? He said, alkaline only

1115
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 1: one It's crazy. I've heard the alkaline I've heard the

1116
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: fasting not in one hour, but fasten eat one meal.

1117
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: But everything I've heard and probably of course eat the

1118
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: natural good foods. But I've heard, but not cure cancer

1119
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: and not only cannabis that and it cured him so

1120
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: so he yes, and he survived. He was the only

1121
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: survivor out of seventy seventy people that have had this.

1122
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: It's one of the rarest for him. And the doctors

1123
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: everybody else was like, you're gonna die and he said, well, well,

1124
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 1: you know what do I how else to lose? And

1125
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: that was his story And I can't wait to happen

1126
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: on the show and and you know, but but the

1127
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: thought process is is again those stories is what makes

1128
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,919
Speaker 1: us continue to do what we're doing. This is why

1129
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: I have no conscious, you know what I mean, I

1130
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: don't know about like, I don't feel bad about sitting here,

1131
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, preaching you know, the good about cannabis. I

1132
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: I feel that there is more people that need to

1133
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: be enlightened, and I feel it's a natural source. But

1134
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: with that being said, let's get into that high five

1135
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: and we are enlightening so many. As a random story

1136
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: that I just wanted to share with you guys is

1137
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how it just came to me. My nephew.

00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: Shout out to you, Jackson, if you're listening to this.

1139
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,000

1146
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: be honest with him. Right I'm at the funeral. He

1199
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: me is just like again, that's why I tell people,

1200
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: right like, do your research. I'm never gonna be one

1201
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 1: to say one is good when it's bad, right um.

1202
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: And I'll never be one to tell parents what to

1203
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 1: do with their own kids. But for me myself, I

1204
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: do not want to take something that I don't know

1205
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 1: what it is, or something that I don't trust in

1206
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: the prescription base. So yes, when I am when I

1207
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: am active, when I'm out on about, when I know

1208
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna be on my feet and I do

1209
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: not want to have my back kill me for the

1210
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 1: next three or four days. Most definitely I have used

1211
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: drops having in the past. You know what's funny is

1212
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 1: another conversation that just had with my wife about using

1213
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: the drops now and now I brought home, just as

1214
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: you said, use your research. I explained to her the

1215
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 1: difference between isolate and disolate and how they're making it

1216
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: and going this just the baby. I'm bringing home this

1217
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 1: really good stuff that companies we believe it and we

1218
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 1: know that are doing the research and making it with

1219
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: the ice. I this is the way I like it.

1220
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 1: I like these things because of these reasons that the

1221
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: research that you just said, which is people, and that

1222
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: means just because it's at the store doesn't mean it's research.

1223
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: Folks don't get it twisted. Look on how they're making that.

1224
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: That's a great way. Craziest place you ever used or

1225
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: smoked cannabis that I can only imagine when you were
