Either way, but that's 157 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: who he's hooking up with. And one of the quotes 158 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: from from the new CEO, he says, I got to 159 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: know Mike as an entrepreneur and investor, and it was 160 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: clear to me that his relationship with cannabis was a 161 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: crucial component in his own life. We saw the opportunity 162 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: to create Tyson two point oh and develop brands and 163 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: products nationally, says Bronstein in a press release.

Why not? 171 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, like, why not Jamaica. So 172 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: I mean distribution, you know, from Jamaica the United States 173 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: is very But my point is, yeah, but you know, 174 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, but what when it comes to me, 175 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: it's Mexico, right, and so I like to think of Mexico, 176 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: but still California. But but but you know when I 177 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: say that, when you say that, if you told me 178 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties, you know I would say 179 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: it was is Mexico because you know, they were producing cannabis. 180 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: And that's why I always tell people that don't forget 181 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: where it comes from. You know, a lot of people 182 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: tend to think that, you know, uh, it comes from here, 183 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: it comes from there. And I will always say to people, 184 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: it's called marijuana before anything, you know, And one of 185 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: the first names out there for cannabis was marijuana, and 186 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: that was because you know, our our ancestors in Mexico 187 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: and throughout the southern states or countries. I'm sorry, um 188 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: would definitely produce more cannabis and bring it into the states, 189 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: you know, and that that that is often forgot because 190 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: of how um you know, the story is told. I'm 191 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: curious on your thought process because growing up myself, I 192 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: didn't feel like Mexico was the Mecca. Where did you 193 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: feel that way growing up because of your family's history, 194 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: because You're family sold so much weed that you got 195 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: from Mexico. And I'm being serious as I say that, 196 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: because in my head, you're ready for this, because in 197 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: my head, I looked at Mexican weed as the big 198 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: bulky weed, right and I looked at when I got 199 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: the killer weed. And I grew up in the Bay Area, 200 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 1: so in the Bay Area, we would definitely know when 201 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: we got that killer humble, like it was just so 202 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: close to us. Are this is from San Francisco, right, 203 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: And when you get weed from somebody who growing from 204 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: San Jose. Don't get me wrong, we had some good 205 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: weed from San Jose as well, with a lot of 206 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: local growers and this and that. But my point is 207 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: I only imagine because I just want to go on 208 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: your thought processes. That's how you thought that, you know, 209 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: growing up for you, you said you thought it was Mexico, 210 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: and I never think it was Mexico, And I don't 211 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: feel that way. How is it that you thought that way? Well, 212 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: let let's go back to history, right, and let's start 213 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: talking about things that are very um prevalent, Like you 214 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: know Rick Ross, right, and all the pounds of marijuana 215 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: was he getting from the Cartel of Mexico Corse, of course, 216 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: and and and so and so was the gentleman's that 217 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: there was. We've just seen at the event the other night. 218 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: They just got out for thirty years in prison. Um, 219 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: you know our dear friend of the show. I can't believe, 220 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: I can't remember his name, But anyone, anyone, anyone, tink 221 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: tim Oh, everyone's about the fight. But so these men 222 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: were not you know, producing you know, cannabis in California 223 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: and moving in across the states. No, they were picking 224 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: it up in in in the southern countries like Cuba, uh, 225 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: you know, Mexico and throughout that And what do you 226 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: think that was like hundreds of thousands? Because you gotta, 227 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: you gotta, you gotta realize too though, which I know 228 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: you do, which try. I mean, you got to realize 229 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: a lot of came from the from the forest here. 230 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: It's my new small amount come from their bigger amounts. 231 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: Ship We'll think about it. Think about it, right, and 232 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: think about northern California, and then think about Mexico and 233 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: all the fields, right, and and that's and that's why 234 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying to you because I actually think of what 235 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: you're saying and go and look at my celf, going, damn, 236 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: I think you're right, right, So it's making me change 237 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: in my mind. But I didn't think that well because again, 238 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: so I hear what you're stories being watched under the rug, right, 239 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: because you know that there was you know, and and 240 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: this is my opinion is that the government and people 241 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: were involved in this transactions. So now they're like, oh, yeah, 242 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: the focus is in southern I mean northern California. That's 243 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: where the big girls were at. Right, No, it wasn't. 244 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: That was the kind bud. Right, that was the minute 245 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 1: about that was just coming in from getting moved around 246 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: a little bit. The masses were coming from the boat 247 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: and the boats, right, they're coming from the plains, and 248 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: they were dropping out kilos of cocaine and cannabis out 249 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: out the show. So we're talking about like, you know, 250 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: it's not even it's not then equal valued at all. 251 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: I mean, let me ask you this, this is this 252 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: is a good question for you that we've never asked. 253 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: Did you bring in alleged once a long time ago, 254 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: did you see and know of more weed coming in 255 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 1: to California from Canada or California? Because I know you 256 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: got your Canada at that look at this, look at me, 257 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: said you guys should have seen this school space you guys. 258 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: Because he didn't hear, he didn't let me finish the question, 259 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: and because I know your Canada connection and we know 260 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: Canada's huge too. So as you said, growing up though, 261 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: you felt like Mexico was the spot that the week 262 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: came in. And I'm surprised to be honest with you 263 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: that you didn't say Canada only because of the war stories. 264 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: So quite frankly, in my opinion, Canada had way more 265 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: than northern California pop into I think more. I think 266 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: both of those makes sense to me of what you're saying, 267 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: and it changes my perspective. That's why I'm going there, 268 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: because maybe a lot of people look at in this perspective, 269 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: is well going, what do you mean the Emerald Triangle has? 270 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: And that's how I thought. But then as you think 271 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: about it, and did you say that, you're right? The 272 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: bigger shipments come in from out of the Snake country. Well, 273 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: shout out to my boy black hockey and shipped out 274 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: of out of Canada, you know, did some serious time 275 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: for for this this this uh plant that we all 276 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: learned to know and love. Now and it's legalized, you know, 277 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: And I would say that, you know, when we start 278 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: to to look at what's really happening, you know, in 279 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: the industry. Right, So Canada had a huge hand in 280 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: what was coming across the borders, right, and so did Mexico. 281 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: And in fact, in fact most of the the California 282 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: is the landing spot. The reason California's the landing spot 283 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: is because there was a triangle, right, And I actually 284 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: been indicted for this and I was never charged, and 285 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: thank god I wasn't. But I've got a letter from 286 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: the FEDS and saying that, hey, you were in involved 287 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: in an indictment that what that had, you know, a 288 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: conspiracy ring from from Mexico to California, into Canada back 289 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: into Mexico. Right, But thank thankfully they were focused on 290 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: the cocaine and all the other drugs that were involved 291 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: and versus the cannabis that was involved in that. And 292 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure that they saw that my my position in 293 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: it or whatever investigations at whatever time, it worked out 294 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: well for me, you know, but you have to know 295 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: that that you know, traditionally, the way that that I've 296 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: seen it as a young man and I understand the 297 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: world of of this cannabis industry is that it came 298 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: in from Mexico. It came in from uh Canada, and 299 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: then the money was made here in California because it 300 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: was shipped to all the other states, and then the 301 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: money was moved into Canada and then from Canada back 302 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: into Mexico. Oh that makes sense to know that. Being said, though, 303 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: answer this question, what you haven't answered yet. Where have 304 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: you seen personally? The most more come from Mexico? You know, 305 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: I really see. I thought, and we're gonna see Canada. 306 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: More quality come from Canada. But you've seen more bulk 307 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: of cannabis. Oh my god, I mean, do you see 308 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: this room we're in, you know, just boxed out right, 309 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about packs. I mean you know, 310 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: in fact, my boy Grant that just got a prison, 311 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: you know, very very recently. You know, Um, I think 312 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: he got caught with you know, five eighty kilos of 313 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: of of cannabis. You know, um just pulling into Long 314 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: Beach year, right, So you think about the masses of 315 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: of of production of cannabis, and you really start thinking 316 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: about like how much brick weed was out there. We 317 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: start thinking about that. Those bricks were crazy. I mean 318 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: they were pounds, right, and they were phone around everywhere, right. 319 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: We used to get those in the sandals all the time. 320 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: And now if you ask me, you know, there was 321 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: a point where I know this it's Cannabis Talk about one. 322 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: Will be right back after this break.

That's help that's 333 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: actually ruined the cartel's business. Like well, not only that, 334 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: Mexico has been told for the cartels get their ship 335 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: together because it's coming legal over there, so they had 336 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: to change their whole game and they're making so much 337 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: money shipping that out. Well, now we're seeing people take 338 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: cannabis from Canada, California into Mexico and they're asking for it, 339 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: and they're asking for Mexico literally asking for this has 340 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: never happened in history, right, It's always been the other 341 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: way around. Everybody's bought everything to California, and now there's 342 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: so much cannabis that people are moving into Mexico. They're 343 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: moving it throughout the United States from here, which is 344 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: completely legal. By the way, it's federally illegal anytime you 345 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: cross any borders, right, So it's very important that somebody 346 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: knows when you just say it's legal. Art I thought 347 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: I heard legal. You know, it's completely want to make 348 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: sure the audiences are right, No, And so I'll even 349 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: tell you as far as I've had conversations with, you know, 350 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: people from different countries and say, hey, listen, you know 351 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: we can work with the embassy. We have the ability 352 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: to move cannabis from here to the embassy, from the 353 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: embassy into our country. And it's like, okay, cool, how 354 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: do you want to do that? Well, why don't you 355 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: just fly it into Mexico. Then we'll get it from 356 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: Mexico where they'll greet you with the embassy and then 357 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: they'll take you from there. And it's like, no, dude, 358 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: those guys are all getting popped. You know what I'm saying. 359 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: There's no like, this isn't a free ride into Mexico. 360 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: You can't just move cannabis in there. But why is 361 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: cannady Why is Mexico focusing on getting the cannabis here? 362 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: Is because the quality different, right, so they were their 363 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: infrastructures and outdoor infrastructure. So come October there was masses 364 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: of pounds of cannabis being produced at two d fifty 365 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: dollars a pound October October, dude, you know talking two fifty. 366 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: The best they were at for four hundred twenty five 367 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: dollars a pound, but it went down to fifty, and 368 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: then it got down to a hundred and twenty five 369 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: dollars a pound for shann dude a percent man, And 370 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: so you get stupid, what would you flip that at? 371 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: What do you mean? L A? And then well it 372 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: comes into l A right, and then you know, this 373 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: guys takes tannable takes fifty. This because I takes a thousand, 374 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: this guy takes fifty. And then it's moved into Ohio, 375 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: and then it's moved into you know, uh, you know Florida, 376 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: it's moved into all these other states. Florida didn't't have 377 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: you know, they had a good activity, but you know 378 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: a lot of these other states, Texas, all that stuff 379 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: they were smoked so in all Mexico and so so 380 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: that cannabis right there, in my opinion, is the real 381 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: beginning of history where this starts because you again and 382 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: in Mexico at Colombia and the bricks and bricks of 383 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: the weed, that's where it started, and it was good weed. 384 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: It tastes like so you're like, oh, and then people 385 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: were called that bammer weed in the Bay Area. Don't 386 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: give me that bammer weed. But the Bay Area wasn't 387 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: capable of producing and and to push out to the 388 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: world like that, and neither was anywhere in California. We 389 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: weren't able to push out a lot from those You 390 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: could bring it into California, move it throughout the United States. 391 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: Let me ask you something that you brought up that 392 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: I'm curious because you elaborated on this and I look, 393 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: I'm interviewing you, but I want to pick your brain 394 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: more because this was so intriguing. And you said allegedly, 395 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: so allegedly when you said the money would come into California, 396 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: into Canada and then to Mexico, allegedly, how would that 397 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: work where they carry it in bags, where they like, 398 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: what is your so on the ends of um in 399 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: Canada right there, there's these massive trails, okay, and so 400 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: so just like in you know, you hear about people 401 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,479 Speaker 1: trying to get across the border in Mexico and they 402 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: die in the out there. Well, so in Canada they 403 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: have they have these parts of where there's water. You know, 404 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: it comes down to the water and then you just 405 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: there's a little quick hop, skip and a jump and 406 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 1: you're in the in the United States or you're in Canada. 407 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: I mean it's that close. I mean borderline an Oregon 408 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: right there, Washington, Dude, you can almost skip a rock, right, 409 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: So there's you see also a lot of ravines and 410 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: and the little back trails that take you into that space. 411 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: So just like you know, um, the coyote would try 412 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: and get an immigrant. Sorry, that's the wolf pack, bro, 413 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's rock. I'm still in Halloween mode. You 414 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: can't do that. Um No. But but so the the uh, 415 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: the California you know, it's similar to someone's trying to 416 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: get across the border into Mexico, right, which is a 417 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: lot more help. You would have to go across the 418 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: border from California to Canada and sneak the money in correct. Yeah, 419 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: And so they would use a t V s and 420 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: they use you know, big hockey bags full of cash 421 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: and then well how would they go from that same 422 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: way from there to Mexico in the same way into 423 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: Mexican easier to go. It's easier for someone to leave 424 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: Canada and get into Mexico. It's easier for you to 425 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: leave California and get into the Mexico border than it 426 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: is for you to cross. So I can cross right 427 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: now into You know, if you're trying to get from 428 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: Mexico to here, you can't. So I could just drive 429 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: it across. I could drive. What I'm saying, why would 430 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: they go from California to Canada to Mexico. Why California state? 431 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: Because when you're crossing into California from Canada, there's a 432 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: whole different ball game. You're trying to come into California. 433 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: So now you're leaving Mexico back into California. You're going 434 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: into Canada right if you're coming. If you're in Canada 435 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: and you're trying to go into Mexico, it's easy. You 436 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: just drive up and go. There's a stop sign. If 437 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: you happen to get stop, you don't. There's nobody's kind 438 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: of the same thing from California into Mexico too, though, No, no, no, California. 439 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: But hold on again, you're missing the point right, because 440 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: you're you're you're you're not seeing the circle right. If 441 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: you're in from you trying to come into Canada right now, 442 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: it ain't a walk in the park. Canadians can't just 443 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: walk in here. So that's why I'm even more confused 444 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: on why the money trail would go that way. So 445 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: hold on a second, where's all the week coming from 446 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: Mexico Canada? So the Mexico week comes in. All the 447 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: week comes in from Mexico, right, So they need their 448 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: money back period, the money back, right, So that money 449 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: would go into California right, then they would move it 450 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: into into call I mean into Canada, Canada, and then 451 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: from Canada walk right into Mexico because there's no reason 452 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: to go back. Now. If you're in Canada and you 453 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: want to walk into to Mexico, it's no problem. But 454 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: if you're in Canada and you want to walk into California, 455 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: you got a problem. You have Funny at Canadians. They 456 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: couldn't even come to uh all these events I'm having. 457 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: Canadians have a hard time getting Get You four Live, 458 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: which by the way, is in May in Mexico. If 459 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: you want to walk into California, you can't either. But 460 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: if we want to walk into Mexico, it's no problem. 461 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: Now when we could turn around and walk right, well, 462 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: Canadians can't get in there and not know that Canadians 463 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: working in the cannabis game, they can't even come out 464 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: here for we gotta have fake businesses. So again it 465 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: was easier to get into Canada, right and again. And 466 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: these are the stories, the legends of being told. You know, 467 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: the things that I've heard about. You know, this is 468 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: nothing that I've been doing myself at any means. You 469 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: don't have to did you ever do that? I know 470 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: about it enough to be dangerous. You know, I've been 471 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: around this industry my entire life. And again, you know, 472 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: when when we talk about why this story has been erased, 473 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, it goes back into indigenous people, it goes 474 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: back into minorities, it goes back into you know, the 475 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: government was involved, you know in my opinions, you know, 476 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: do I think that you know the government had their 477 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: hands ends in the sea, their hands and every military. 478 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you have to when they start the war 479 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: on drugs, they make money for this, they make one 480 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: of that. They can't really stop it because then if 481 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: they stop it, they lose the money for all the 482 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: stuff that they're funding to stop it. And then if 483 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: they stop that, they're moving losing all the money for 484 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: the rehab centers that they created, the Betty Ford centers 485 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: of this and that. So you're right, they there's their 486 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: hands are in it in different ways. It's like the 487 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: mob in Vegas. They created the concrete company and you 488 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: know they were doing the trash. Don't keep me wrong. 489 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: They're not the guy with the backpack running across the border. 490 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: But there's funding their capital. There's people that know that 491 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: are involved. And here's the perfect example, ready, is that 492 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: the military. There was a point where the military was 493 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,959 Speaker 1: getting you know, taking dead bodies and they were they 494 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: were transporting and this is documented facts. They were transporting 495 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: you know, drugs inside their their there's the soldiers you 496 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 1: know back in the tombstones when I've seen that and 497 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: like um Vietnam or something like that too, I'm seeing 498 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: that story. So they're moving drugs and that stuff, right, 499 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: they're moving money in those things. So you know it's 500 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: a very importunate. But here's the here's the reality. Even 501 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: has a good person, right, you know, you get put 502 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: up against opportunity and you might start taking risk.

That she gets out. But 722 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: when she got out, I went back to sleep between 723 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: four and six, and I remember the dream that I 724 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: was pushing somebody's head down into the ground right so 725 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, what and mind you, I fought a lot 726 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: as a kid. I was a bouncer as a kid. 727 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: I did a lot of things, you said, shooting father 728 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: and I had an apartment downtown sound there, shooting at 729 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: the apartment. At this essay, it just go a bunch 730 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: of ship triggers me as well, different and different time right, different, 731 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: No gang banging, just vibing, but a lot of crazy 732 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: shit it was around. It was always around me too, 733 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 1: And then the lifestyle I had was crazy.
