Speaker 1: We're on a mission to help put an end to

41
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: the opioid and suicide epidemic, pledging our nation's heroes. We

42
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: believe that exploring the benefits of medical cannabis is the

43
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: most effective way to combat these issues and bring proper

44
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: aid to those who gave us so much for our

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: great nation. And when I scrolled down and entered this

00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: it has a military feel. I don't know if you've

48
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: seen this. Market's showing like a battle like war, the

49
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: combat training. Talk to me about this, Brian, on what

50
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,800

52
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: details on how you came out with all this. Yeah,

53
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: so where we came up with this is. I served

54
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: in the Marine Corps about nine years. Thank you for

55
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: your service, brother, thank you for paying your taxes, mand

56
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: to blast. But yeah, yeah, so served about nine years,

57
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: walked out of hard precent disabled UH. Served in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa,

58
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: and Southeast Asia. I started off in the infantry, then

59
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: went to a Marine reaconstance and then finished up my

60
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: career and as a Marine raider, which is our special

61
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: operations component. A lot like a Navy seal. We're just

62
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: better looking and so don't get all the recognition silent professionals.

63
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: They make movies about us. Damnit, we got a sama.

64
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: We always make fun of the whole tire. Navy seals

65
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: were like, all right, what point during buds do you

66
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: get your book deal? And there's theondergrad the wan who

67
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: get the movie the guy right? So really where Helmon

68
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: Valley Grower's Company came from. When you serve as a

69
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: Marine raider and you serve in the Helmand Province in Afghanistan,

70
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: you become part of the Helmand Valley Gun Club and

71
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: again h v G C tattoo on you. So we

72
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: really wanted to keep a military niche to it. So

73
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: we literally threw h VGs. I'm just so curious enough

74
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: to cut you off. What if somebody doesn't want the

75
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: tattoo on them? Uh, you don't have to put it on, Okay,

76
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: I've seen everybody like when you said that, I'm like,

77
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: what if I don't want that? You have to? I'll

78
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: put it this way, though everyone does. Some people who

79
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: haven't and they don't know if they're in a helmet,

80
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: they get challenged and then that's when you are almost

81
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: our fights. If someone's an opposer, which we haven't found any,

82
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: it's a big deal. So no one has not where's yours?

83
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: You have yours right here? Oh? Is that where everyone

84
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: else's are? Let's have him on wrists and arms and

85
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: backs and all. You went that inside of the arm.

86
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: That's a hurtful one. That skinny it's like there where

87
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: the thin must It's just it hurts. I got a

88
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: little line on the inside of one of my arms,

89
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: and it's like I got another one right there too.

90
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: But it looks good in uniform, right They can't little

91
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: incognito absolutely so um Really what happened was in sixteen

92
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: I started a nonprofit called Bawder Brothers Foundation. We wanted

93
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: to help out when we had active duty military transitioning

94
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: into the veteran community. It just didn't seem like there's

95
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: main nonprofits helping there. So we went after a personal,

96
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: medical and economic personal Big brother, Big Sister. Medical we

97
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: could help about the A disability claims. If you were

98
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: struggling with opiate alcoholism, pushmac stress, we can get you

99
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: in a treatment center. Last part was economic being. We

100
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: wanted to help find that veteran job. So that had

101
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: the same sense of purpose like they did while they

102
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: served in the military and hopefully avoid something they couldn't

103
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: come back from. And then during this one of my

104
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: other co founders, Andy Myers, who served with me as

105
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: a Marine raider, he was just looking really great. I mean,

106
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: we had a really rough appointment two thousand twelve, lost

107
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: a lot of good guys. I myself was wounded during

108
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: that deployment. Um, we were in the Helmand Province, so

109
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: basically we kind of take a step back. What we

110
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: did was, I was what they called the commando mission,

111
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: So we were the guys in the middle of the

112
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: night would find the black helicopters and go. And then

113
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: we had the other guys were doing build stability operations

114
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: and they would be garbed up in traditional address bearded

115
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: out doing everything from building a well to standing up

116
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 1: a local police force and then conducting some raids on talent.

117
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: And where was this exactly? This was in Helmand Province, Afghanistan,

118
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: which was by far the most volatile area. The reason

119
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: being you got the Helman River valley. The Taliban will

120
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: come up from Pakistan during the like May time for

121
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: the hart started getting ready for the harvest. Have everyone

122
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: throw out their poppy, cultivate into heroin. They sell the

123
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: heroin attacks and that's how you feel their insertaincy. And

124
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're okre comfortable talking about as

125
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: I asked this is I'm gonna ask it anyways, but

126
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: if you don't have to answer, um what And it's

127
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: so side because I thought that's what you're alluding to Afghanistan.

128
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: That's why I wanted to hear it exactly as I

129
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: see one of your brands has an Afghani name to it. Yeah, um,

130
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on us pulling out of Afghanistan?

131
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: I know what side is political because you were there.

132
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: You have more insight than I do, So that's what

133
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm curious think. You know, while we were there, we

134
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: trained the Afghan commandos and special forces, so I was

135
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: in charge of the AFGHANST seven Special Operations Can Act

136
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: of their battalion. And you know, these guys were good guys.

137
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: We worked really hard with them. Uh, they were doing

138
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: good things. I love the Afghans because they were really

139
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: fighting for something they believe and they truly hated the Taliban. Now,

140
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: in terms of what we did in the withdrawal, I agree,

141
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: we couldn't be there forever. No one's disputing the withdrawal,

142
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: but how we did it is abysmal at best. That

143
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: was I mean, how we just kind of reverse order

144
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: of you took the military out first before you took

145
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: civilians and then your equipment is the exact opposite way

146
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: you should do a withdrawal. And I have an opportunity

147
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: to speak on some veteran advisory boards for members of Congress,

148
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: and it's been a bipartisan chorus in terms of both

149
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: Dems and Republicans are going, what the f was that?

150
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they are not happy with the powers that be,

151
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens. But with your knowledge, with

152
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: the powers that be, what did happen with your knowledge?

153
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: My theory is Trump started something, Biden didn't finish it right, right,

154
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I just and I feel like both are

155
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: fucking wrong. In my opinion, I feel like both of

156
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: you guys did wrong, right. That's how I feel. And

157
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm right or wrong. That's how

158
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: I feel the way the deal was made on February

159
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: twenty nine, which is a leap year day. It was

160
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: ironically right, so it never happened it was four years exactly. So, um,

161
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: it was all about a conditions based withdrawal, and we

162
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: seem to have gotten away from that with the previous

163
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: with the new administration, where we seemed like we put

164
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: a line in the sands saying we're leaving on this state. Well,

165
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: you gotta let things. And when you say that, you say,

166
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: that's what Trump started created this relationship. We're gonna be

167
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: out of here about this state. Correct, Well, he is

168
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: original plan. He wanted to get out by May. The

169
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: reason being is what I told you about. Fighting season

170
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: starts in May. So what do you mean fighting season? Basically,

171
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: they'll all come out. The Taliban will come up from

172
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: Pakistan and there's a lot of them and they're they're

173
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: protecting the harvest, the hero the heroin, the heroin, so

174
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: they're protecting the heroine. And that's like, I didn't know

175
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: this is the scenario. You guys, you knew this, he

176
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: said it, but I didn't know that's what the May

177
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: thing is. And I know that that's just listen, welcome

178
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: to the show, Joe. Well, but what's this thing called

179
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: to get? You know what? I think maybe I just

180
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: took some heroin and you're just resting on the fact

181
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: that you have two friends who have two stars on

182
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But I looked like that

183
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: wasn't the show and do nothing. I'm confused on the

184
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: storyline of Afghanistan, and that's exactly what they're protecting because

185
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: in my head, I'm thinking oil still with Middle East,

186
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: and I didn't know that it's a big drug thing.

187
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: That's so that's where I'm confused. In my head, I'm

188
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 1: thought you knew where all the hair when came from this.

189
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The black Tar heroine was just from you know,

190
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: some of the homies back rig me up. It's coming now.

191
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: And once again, if I feel like if I don't understand,

192
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: I feel like people listening don't understand because I like

193
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: things in Leyman's terms, and if I don't understand it,

194
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a lot of people out there

195
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: that may be listening, and I feel like I'm paying

196
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: attention to you and I'm maybe market try to tune

197
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: him out. But you have to work out exactly. But

198
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: my point is I don't never be mentioned and I

199
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: didn't follow exactly that that's what you guys are doing.

200
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: I know you said you're training people out there, and

201
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: then you say wartime or reality. I didn't even realize

202
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: that goes down and they're like football seasons kicked off.

203
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: It's like when you said, it's uh the season for that,

204
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, what do you mean. One time we had

205
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: a general. One time he was getting all fired up.

206
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: He goes, your marines, there's not a fighting season. You

207
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: fight all year around. And one of the guys next

208
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: to me, he goes, do you think the enemy has

209
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: a vote on this one? There? Who we're gonna fight? Right?

210
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: So that's a good point. So you guys are out

211
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: there and you're helping out. And so we said, are

212
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: assuming that, we said Donald Trump, and the office at

213
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: that time said may. But you're saying that's when the

214
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: fighting season starts. That's when the fighting season. So what

215
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: the deal was with the previous administration was conditioned space.

216
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: If you do this, we do that, you know. And

217
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: there were times the tale bands stepped over the line

218
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: and they got smacked, and it was like, hey, everyone

219
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: play nice, and if we keep doing this right, we'll

220
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: be fine. What's a smack for the teleband? We will

221
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: go eliminate some of them and be like you guys

222
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: want to keep going down this road. We're really good

223
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: at this stuff. And would it be a black ops thing,

224
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: like would you do commando style or would be like

225
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: if you if you had people like high value individuals

226
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: who were tale band commanders or financiers, that really hurts

227
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: them when they disappear. So those are things you would

228
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: start kind of messing with our elimination. Disappare other words

229
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: for kill dead exactly. It's it's it's not positive for

230
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: them that way. But so it's not a tickle party

231
00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: her Christmas now but so um. But really the last

232
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: part of the original plan was with the last troops

233
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: were leaving, it had to be the Afghan and the Taliban.

234
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna have an inter agency agreement of how the

235
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: country is gonna go forward, and the Taliban couldn't take

236
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: over land by force, which they started to do, and

237
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: then we just pulled out this new administration. So they

238
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 1: did by saying that I hate to cutch off like

239
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: this because I just want to follow along by you

240
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: saying that, then the Teleband was did not continue to

241
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: the end to hold up on their bargain, and we

242
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: allowed them to get away with it. Huh, I didn't

243
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: understand that part. That's new, that's new information from my

244
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: head and to soak in like that. So we did

245
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: nothing that they didn't hold up on their bargain the

246
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: way I look at it, and correct me if I'm wrong.

247
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: We were there teaching and coaching the Afghan You were

248
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: actually to be soldiers, and we gave they bought weapons

249
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: from us. We helped them say this is how you

250
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: protect yourself from the Taliban when we leave. When we leave, now,

251
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: let me finish how my thought processes, and please correct

252
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, so I can follow what my

253
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: gut thinks about history and what's going on currently. We

254
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: teach them how to fight, We teach them to be soldiers.

255
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: They know Maze coming, they know they're gonna come and

256
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: try to take over because they're understanding, can not California,

257
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: the US has cut pulling out. They come in, they break,

258
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: they breach the contracts and speak. But you Afghanis don't

259
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: stand up and fight them. And you guys and your

260
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: leader now fucking fled the country. So you didn't even

261
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: stand up for your country to fight and fight with

262
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: the honor, fight till the death, whatever you want to

263
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: call it. I mean, and I'm not commending whatever he did.

264
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: He did, but in my opinion, if I if we

265
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: go out there to teach you to fight and you

266
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: don't fight, now you guys want us to come fight

267
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: your battle. Yeah, And that's where you gotta get into

268
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: complexity of Afghanistan. Their their government extremely corrupt and now

269
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: their military officers, a lot of them are put in

270
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: positions because who their fathers are. So I became a

271
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: Marine captain. I'm no one, but I just wanted to

272
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: be Marines. So one day I went in, I made

273
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: a and that's what we can do. In America. There's

274
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: a little bit difference like who do you know? And

275
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: that's how you can get your status in the world.

276
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: The enlisted side, these guys were fighters. I mean, we

277
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: were losing so many of these commandos and special forces.

278
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: I almost thought the program wasn't gonna last at how

279
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: many we were losing. These guys were all about fighting,

280
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: doing it whatever. But this is where we screwed up.

281
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: We were doing everything with close air support and combined arms.

282
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: When I'll go out and mission, I'm the one controlling

283
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: the air stack. Air stack, our angel stack would be

284
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: every airplane you can think of in a tow ban

285
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: start making moves on us. I just bombed the hell

286
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: out of them. And this is how the commandos were

287
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: going out there fighting. Then you pull away that air power,

288
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: they're like, all right, we're back in the Civil War days, Like,

289
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: what do you want us to do? We're just shooting

290
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: each other. We're not, we don't. We were taught how

291
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: to fight differently for twenty years and then even two

292
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: in the planning phase, I was telling everyone was almost

293
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: like when you getting new commanders coming in from America

294
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: side or the NATO side, they're all trying to win

295
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: a war in one year. We weren't really letting their

296
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: officers make decision. I mean I went into a briefing

297
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: outside in Cobble one time. We brought all of our

298
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: Afghan commando commanders with us and they were supposed to

299
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: decide what we could do in the future in the war.

300
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: Within seven minutes is all the Americans were sitting round

301
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: table deciding what's gonna happen. And I sat back saying,

302
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: this isn't sustainable. I mean, it's just not gonna work.

303
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: So we had some training failures on our side where

304
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: I don't think we set them up for success that

305
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: they needed so great insight. What was the point of

306
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: it all? For twenty years it didn't do anything. Well,

307
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: what did you get any of the drugs? Who we

308
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: can sell it? I mean, you know that's the thing.

309
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: We spent trillions of dollars. Right now, the Chinese are

310
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: in norther are in Afghanistan taking all the lithium out

311
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: of here. So all you people who want to be

312
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: in the Green Revolution, we're gonna be in China's pocket.

313
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean, China jumped in right quick and sorry making

314
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: deals with the Taliban. I promise you will probably back

315
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan about two or three years. That's your that's

316
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: what your professional experience military. There's such a power vacuum

317
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: in there. The Taliban now had the hard time if

318
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: they want to run na fans and now you gotta

319
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: be a government. And these aren't as brightest people in

320
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: the world. I mean, you can even watch a press conference.

321
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: You got one guy picking his nose in the middle

322
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: of it. I mean they're just picking. But you know, Brian,

323
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: picking your nose doesn't mean you're dumb. It could be

324
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: a sign of the you know, intelligence I'm just saying

325
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: I picked my nose a lot. I amn't dumb, but

326
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: I'm just could have been. It's a tough one. Yeah,

327
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: it is a sign that you're not just signal to

328
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: somebody here. So now they got governed, but you've got

329
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: such a power vacuum over there, and you get all

330
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: the crazy jumping inter jests like it happened after the

331
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: Soviet Afghan War, and then you're gonna have a hot

332
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: bed for more terrorist camps. Do you think that's gonna

333
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: happen sooner or later? Do you think we're gonna have

334
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: any repercussions from it? Within? I would give them forty

335
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: eight months, and that's when I would say the homeland,

336
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: Why do you say forty eight months? It would just

337
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: take them time to start planning out what they're gonna do.

338
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: And too, I mean, you gotta look at the nine

339
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: eleven attackers they were training in Florida. I mean, they

340
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: took their time, and they're very deliberate to come in.

341
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: So when I was talking to a member of Congress,

342
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: I warned them back in two thousand and twelve, we're

343
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: all about our storyboards in the military. We want brief,

344
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: really cool things that the powers that are right, Well,

345
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: we were just throwing people into these police rolls, into

346
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: these commando roles, into special forces roles next to you know,

347
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: we had a lot of insider attacks where they were

348
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: killing us. They would just pull up guns and shoots

349
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: in the back and do all that. We're walking around

350
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: with weapons looking for this stuff, and we were having issues.

351
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: So I told him, like, you guys, I'll be the

352
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: bad guy in the room. America's critical vulnerability is our benevolence.

353
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you need to slow down with the

354
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: refugee crisis, keep them in a distant country until we

355
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: bet them fully, because we got our asses kicked doing

356
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: this really quick, and we had to bring in us

357
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: your imagination, a three letter agency to come in and

358
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: start betting everyone to ensure that we had the right

359
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: people and they were slipping through the cracks. If you

360
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: saw that chaos at the Kabbal airport, if I'm a Taliban,

361
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: I would have thrown a couple of my guys in

362
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: there and just see, hey, or isis Let's see who

363
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: we can get through into the cracks and start setting

364
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: up cells in America and start attacking them. Because I'm

365
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: telling you they hate us, and you think that happened too.

366
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: I mean I felt the same way watching my gut

367
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: said that was happening. I felt like like that wouldn't

368
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: be if we had teleban going. Go now, you're you're

369
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: just act like your claim after any you you've helped

370
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: the government here, make say this name, say that name, whatever,

371
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: go to America. We'll send you some money. Million. Pump

372
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: the brakes. I'm telling all the politicians, pump the brakes.

373
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: Make sure we're doing this right, because the repercussions are

374
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: just gonna be undmatchable and there's nothing to do to

375
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: prevent them. The people we can, we can slow down

376
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: and stop worrying about what the media and whatever sets

377
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 1: on Twitter and just be like, hey, I don't care.

378
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna do this right. And this is why and

379
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: that's why I shared this story a lot of times

380
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: I lost friends from inside or attacks, and these guys

381
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: were pipe hitters. So it's like it can happen. And

382
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, and we were on alert looking for bad guys.

383
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: Everyone else here in America looking at your iPhone and

384
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: eat your ice cream cone, you know, and the bad

385
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: guys are coming in absolutely, so you believe the bad

386
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: guys now have flooded the gates, so to speak. I'm

387
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 1: not gonna say term flood the gates, but I'm gonna say,

388
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: maybe they can get some through the cracks. And you

389
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: see what happened there, and it only took two to flood.

390
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: You know, well, how many were on these places? A nine?

391
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: I think I think it's nine told. I think they

392
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: had like three or something that I might be a

393
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: pin or twelve, but I think they had like three

394
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: years of each plane if I believe correctly. You know,

395
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: let's take a break. Thank you so much for that

396
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:01,400

00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: at the website and not knowing your what your knowledge was,

400
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: I had to ask the questions. I mean, and like

401
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: I said, I didn't know if you would, but I'm like,

402
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna have more inside knowledge than any of us

403
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 1: now to fighting the war on opening the exactly, it's

00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: signed up. My dad was in the military as well.

419
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: And randomly my dad when he grew up, when we

420
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: talked about going to the military, who was like, no,

421
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: me military, no good for Mexicans and minorities. Ain't treating

422
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: you right. I'm like, yeah, what do you mean they

423
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: got the fucking g I Bill like, what are you

424
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: talking about, dude? Times have changed since you were when

425
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,960

426
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: for my No, you ain't going to military, blah blah blah.

427
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,800

428
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: put a shut down because back then, which I agree,

429
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: what you know, back then a lot of minorities were

430
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: treated bad in all scenarios and still do for that matter.

431
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: I don't think in the military it's as bad, but

432
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I just think it's it's that. But

433

00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: this ship that you gotta go through. It's not easy. Really.

443
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,520

00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: underneath his body arm or went into his stomach. So Joey,

459
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: I remember when that cranked off. That was August twelve,

460
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve. That happened. He just dropped and next

461
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: know it. Literally what's interesting about the Helman province is

462
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: it's like a triple canopy jungle because it got a

463
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: big helmet river valley going through there and then you

464
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: got this jungle. Then you're looking up at snow capped mountains.

465
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: So it's a very bizarre world you're almost in. But

466
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: the fire that they were putting down on us was

467
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: so intense it looked like giants were shaking the trees.

468
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: And the amount of small arm rounds, RPGs, mortar grounds,

469
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: all that stuff hitting us. I felt I got in

470
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: a popcorn machine because everything was popping up underneath me.

471
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: So we grabbed Joey got him into cover. I had

472
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: to crawl and give a brevity code to save my

473
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: position is about to get overran. At that point, everyone

474
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: gets off my radio. Every available aircraft flies to my position,

475
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: and then we just started moving to Talban to a

476
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: position to advantageous for us using our fire, and then

477
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: we started dropping bombs on them and we eliminated all them.

478
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 1: She lost a lot of friends. We did. We did

479
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: as we say, we don't want to go back there,

480
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: just eliminated. I'm gonna say this too, you need to

481
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: do I don't know if you do this, but I

482
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: would probably listen to it or I just I can

483
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: only imagine your stories and you structure them and do

484
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: maybe a podcast or story. Because you're you're so well spoken,

485
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: you use great analogies. Everything you just said has me

486
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: like on something. I want to go right back and

487
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: keep talking about it. So instead of talking about it,

488
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm telling you should do something so I can go

489
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: listen to it and you talk about these stories exactly.

490
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: My point is certain times, certain scenarios because you're very

491
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: well spoken brother, and and once again so and all

492
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: your stories are so detailed that I'm like, fu, no,

493
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: wait connect. It's also it all connects to now you

494
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: have all these problems, you had all this stuff. We're

495
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: fully disabled. You come back and you go two thousands sixteen,

496
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: let's get together. What do I talk to another buddy

497
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: of mine shoving you ethopius and stuff. So you addicted

498
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: to all those as well. You know, I really was

499
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: kind of more like I kind of knew the dance.

500
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: I played football. I mean I played college football. We

501
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: got where University of Massachusetts? Would you play dB? No,

502
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: it's actually two thirties. I played full back and then

503
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: eleven happened, So I'm like time for me to go

504
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: evern my citizenship. So I left U mass and went

505
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: to Villanova University, went down, and then two years later

506
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: I was a marine officer full back NBAM Marine. You're

507
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: a badass fullbacks from You're taking out that lot. You're

508
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: going head up with linebackers all the time. Outside linebackers,

509
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: You're dealing with some of the biggest, baddest dudes out there.

510
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: And I think part of my traumatic brain injury comes

511
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: from playing fullback. But as long as I can get

512
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: the money from the cover for that, that's good too.

513
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: I think at one point I was six ft, but

514
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm now five ten from all the linebackers. I just

515
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: compressed one of my good friends that my son's plays

516
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: on the same two as a guy named Mike Carney

517
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: who played fullback for the New Orleans Saints, and he's

518
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: just such a monster dude too. And we're literally at

519
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: soccer practice yesterday and him and his other center playing

520
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: cat Do you ever have PTSD and catch up ball

521
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: and just start running through people? And he's like, Joe.

522
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like when I'm in that costco, I

523
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: went to run if you know who I am, I'm

524
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: getting that turkey first. Ye. It's funny. So you get

525
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: you guys are going through all this stuff. So we're

526
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 1: going through it. And so basically one day, like I mean,

527
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: we were just drinking a lot, all the guys, we're

528
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: trying to answer our problems at the bottom of the

529
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: bottle of doesn't work right, Nope, never done. So Andy

530
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: one day just was looking great. I'm like, listen, man,

531
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: what are you doing? He goes, all right, you're right

532
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: for this one I'm like, sure, he goes, I gave

533
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: up a fifth of jack for a joint. I'm like,

534
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: what are you talking about. It's like, listen, he's like

535
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: the j for the j He's like, He's like, I'm

536
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: not blacking out at night. I'm not drinking driving you guys.

537
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: I wake up the morning I refreshing. And what was

538
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: the most impactful was and I'm getting into cultivation and

539
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: it's helping me transition from a warrior to a gardener.

540
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: And I'm like, damn, that's pretty power. Yeah right deep.

541
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: So I went home and like natural, I'm like, well,

542
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: let me try some of this. And it was the

543
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: first night I got a full night of sleep. And

544
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how many did you ever smoke growing up?

545
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: Now that's great. So it was just kind of like

546
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: all right, So I was open minded to it, and

547
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: like I always laughed, like I never thought i'd hear

548
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: my wife say if I'm wrestless in bed, like can

549
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: you go downstairs smokes some pod? Like I guess, so

550
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: what I do for this marriage, but anything for you, babe, Yeah, yeah,

551
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: you know the things I do. But so we started,

552
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, this is great. I don't want to

553
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: just be another veteran advocacy group. There's a lot of

554
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: great veteran avocas groups out there, but I'm like, how

555
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: can we move the dial. So I had an opportunity

556
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: to with some members of Congress and I said, straight up,

557
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: what do I have to do to get medical cannabis

558
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: into the v A medical system? And there like, if

559
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: you can get data and get American doctors, you're gonna

560
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: have a shot. So through all this we knew it

561
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: was gonna be pretty expensive. So I'm like, let's launch

562
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: an adult use brand called how Man Value Growers Company,

563
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: where we take a hundred percent of our profits and

564
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: we'll put it back to veteran medical cannabis research. We

565
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: partnered with a firm at Israel called namedic Healthcare and

566
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: Research Services, and recently just brought U c Irvine on

567
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: board as an American face, and we just got approved

568
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: for what they call an institutional review board, being we've

569
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: been cleared by the government to do human trials using

570
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: medical cannabis, and we're gonna start our first study this

571
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: fall with sixty veterans to see if medical cannabis can

572
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: reduce the symptoms of postramac stress. From there, we're going

573
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: to develop a formulation and treatment protocol, will do a

574
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: more robust study here in California about two hundred veterans,

575
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: and then from there we're moving into Michigan just to

576
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: do retrospective study with our same formulation, proving that is accessible,

577
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: it's repeatable, and we're having the same results. And then

578
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: at that point I raised my hand for in Congress

579
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: and I'll say, here's your American doctors, here's your data.

580
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: Can we move forward with FDA trials? Would they be

581
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: able to use anything from Israel as well? Uh? You

582
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: know the ironic part is we do actually send taxpayer

583
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: money over to the Israelis to do cannabis study, but

584
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: we need to put an American face on. So the

585
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: Israelis do have they've done it. In my opinion, is

586
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: Israel's they're ahead of the game. We had it. That's

587
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 1: why I asked, because I've noticed what till Ray's done, Uh,

588
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: setting a fucking hundred thousand pounds over there. So the

589
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: companies are doing it because there are producing great results

590
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: of education research and in my opinion, Israel's ahead of

591
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: the game. Like Israel's ahead of the world right now.

592
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: When it comes from years ahead of us, and so

593
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: they're the ones gonna put it formulation together were we

594
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: know we have to go. There's gonna be some deviations

595
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: just from the feedback we're getting from veterans during our study,

596
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: but then from there we'll have it. We know it works.

597
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: Israelis are very publishing pub metamatic. We're on a call

598
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: with former VA Secretary Schalkin. He goes doesn't work. They're

599
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: like yeah, He's like, can you prove it? Here it is?

600
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: And he's like, oh my god, we just need to

601
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: put an American face on it. So that's fine, and

602
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: we're doing this. It's a private i RB, so I'm

603
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: not working with NIDA, not using any of that stuff.

604
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be straight up what we grow here at

605
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: Helmon Valley Growers Company, and what we do is we

606
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: bring more veterans into our organization because at the end

607
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: of the day, I want to have veterans making medicine

608
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: for veterans. Why Hellman Valley Growers Company? Where the Hellman

609
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: come from? Well again with the Helman province that we're

610
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: talking about, are you paying it to the show? You

611
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: know what? Once again, if I if I didn't understand it.

612
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: Somebody else didn't. He was in Afghanistan. How many times?

613
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: You know what it takes. I wasn't off, I was left,

614
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: I got. I fought eight times in the ring as well.

615
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: But you know what, like I said, I have two

616
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: friends who have two stars on the Hollywood, But when

617
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: I hear these random words like that, it's not like

618
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's not following into place for me

619
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: as you re say it. I feel like an idiot,

620
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. But I wish I would

621
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: have caught it the first time, and I didn't. So

622
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: therefore I'm sure somebody else listening didn't catch it the

623
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: first time, because normally I do catch these repeat off top.

624
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: So Hellman is a spot in after Heman Providence, see,

625
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: and that's where I still like Hellman Providence. Like I've

626
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: ever heard that three times in my life. Never, I've

627
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: only heard it right now my first time ever. That's

628
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,239
Speaker 1: why hence now I get the initials and it all

629
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: makes sense, but it's still something that I have to

630
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: put together because it's not the Emerald triangle that we're

631
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: so normal and accustomed to out here in California. A

632
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: California brand. That's fucking representing Afghanistan. So therefore, now I

633
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: really see and understand and I actually love and respects

634
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: the fact of all that. And as we sail that,

635
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: as I mentioned some of the brands that you have,

636
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: you have Afghani strains Animal, it was afgh Animal, Afghanimal,

637
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: so talk about the different strains, Purple train wrecks. We're yeah,

638
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: we're expanding and that we're gonna get a new website

639
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: up there with all of our new stuffs. So we

640
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: really we started off with three dissolans. That's all we

641
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: did right from ghetto, just kind of get in the

642
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: door and we call it lightning in a bottle with

643
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: that animal. Now one I'll be honest with you, I

644
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: falls a cool branding thing like h v G c

645
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: Afgh Animal. We took Afghan cookies and you know our

646
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: Afghana cush and animal cookies. We put together afgh Animal. Well,

647
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: when we gave it to the Israelis, they're like, this

648
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: is exactly what the medicine should be doing. It's like

649
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: it turns down the white noise, makes your euphoric, you

650
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: feel good, you're relaxed, and they're like and when you

651
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: use that at nighttime, you go down and stay down there,

652
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: like that's what cannabis should be doing. So we're really

653
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: excited about that. But everything that we've picked out so far,

654
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: we're not gonna make any medical claims. It's just feedback

655
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: we've received from people, not just veterans, people with post

656
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: traumatic stress and what has helped best for them. Every

657
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: we replicate that. And what we're really excited about is

658
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: we just launched our hard percent pure live reson by line,

659
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: which is a fresh, frozen no dislid at it. And

660
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: that's one of my favorite things right there because it

661
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: just gives you such a great body high where you

662
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: can still function throughout the day and do your thing. Um.

663
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: So we're just having a lot of fun. We got

664
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: some really cool things on the horizon too. And what's

665
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: we're talking about? What else you got going on? Well,

666
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, in time here, we're actually parted up with

667
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: a couple of good friends and we're gonna have a

668
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: five thousand square foot into a growth like Elison or

669
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: along with the storefront, and we're kind and keep expanding

670
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: from there. On top of the researcher about the launch

671
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: and we're looking forward to going to some more states

672
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: here probably look at Michigan towards the two as well,

673
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: and we just kinda keep expanding spread the good word

674
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: until we accomplish our mission of getting a b a

675
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: uh to accept medical cannabis into their pharmacies for a

676
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: long time coming. Yeah, and when we come back, you

677
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: guys just take a break real quick. I want to

678
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: ask you about Battle Brothers, what you guys are doing

679
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: with them. It's kind of his talk one oh one,

680
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: Take a hit, get lit, and sit back and enjoy

681
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: Cannabis Talk one oh one Mark and Craig Pop Brothers

682
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: at lob Blue and Joe Grande and we are here

683
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: with our special guest, Brian Buckley, President and CEO of

684
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: Hellman Valley Grower's Company, and Joe was asking about Battle

685
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: Brothers collaboration or what's going on with Battle Brothers. So

686
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: really it all started out with Battle Brothers Foundation, like

687
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: saying before, really we were looking at there's not many

688
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: nonprofits that help out the veteran munity. There is getting better,

689
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: don't don't get me wrong, but we're like, hey, let's

690
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: kind of take care of our own and set them

691
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: up for success. Because we were just seeing way too

692
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: many veterans get hooked on opiates and ultimately committing suicide.

693
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: So we're like, hey, let's get out there and try

694
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: to do something. And that's where I said, we developed

695
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: that three tier approach of a personal, medical, and economic.

696
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: Personal big brother, big sister. Medical, we do v A

697
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: disability claims will help you and get you in treatment

698
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: centers if you're suffering with alcoholism, opiates, postmac stress. We're

699
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: doing medical cannabis research with veterans. And the last part

700
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: is economic. Finding that veteran job. So they had that

701
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: same sense of purpose like they did while I was

702
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: serving the military and hopefully live the American dream they

703
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: fought so hard to defend. And that's all battle Brothers,

704
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: that is, that's the battle Brothers does. I'm a veteran.

705
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm listening to the show. I want to get a

706
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: veteran to try your product. Is there something that the

707
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: v A does? Are you guys strictly at dispensaries? How

708
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: do I how does it strictly dispensaries and normal brand exactly?

709
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 1: Can get it at the v A right now? You cannot?

710
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: And and it's funny that being said, I'm so curious Brian,

711
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: what your thoughts are. And of course it's just a

712
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: shot in the dark with your thoughts and opinion. When

713
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: do you think the v A will fucking give veterans

714
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: cannabis rather than opioids. We got it. That's why we're

715
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: doing what we're doing. And I know that, and I

716
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: know that's what you're doing, and I see the path,

717
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: and I love that you're taking it to the Congress

718
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: because you're doing it in the right way. In my opinion,

719
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: everyone wants to talk about that's what it should be.

720
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: Blah blah. Everything I've heard from you is so on

721
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: point and different from everyone else, because you've already mentioned

722
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: you've been in front of Congress, and I heard you

723
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: say your steps on how you need to do this

724
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: that you got I wrote down. You're working with you

725
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: know Israel, you see Irvine. You're gonna get this data,

726
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: go back here, You're gonna get more data, go back

727
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: there and work with this state, that state. Then you're

728
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: gonna go back to Congress. And see my point is Mark,

729
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: when I hear stuff like that, that stuck to me.

730
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: The h pase g C didn't stick. Whether that's because

731
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: it's not in America. I'm American's kidding my I followed

732
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: the American wave with the Israel twist. But my point,

733
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm just joking. But my point is I love that

734
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: you have the plan that you think will work. We

735
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,719
Speaker 1: don't know who are kidding, I say, we like I'm

736
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: a part of the thing. I want to be a

737
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: part whatever I could do to help. I want to

738
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: help out because I like that you have a plan,

739
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: and I like that that that's what you're structured and

740
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: doing into my opinion, that's what wins. Here's my plan.

741
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: The bumpy roads, the shut doors that this and that

742
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: are gonna happen. You've already had them, and you have

743
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: all that ships. Nothing could put up bomb being blown

744
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: up at you. You're like, whatever I can get around this.

745
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: My point and the question that I'm asking is what

746
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: is your gut timeline think that's gonna take. Like you said,

747
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: forty eight random fucking months before we've seen an attack.

748
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. You're on point with some random

749
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: ship five years because it's not just our research. Yeah,

750
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: there's other company two rays out there doing this stuff

751
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: with every people else. You've got the University of Pennsylvania

752
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, we are going to contract private farms

753
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania where you csds doing some ship right now

754
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: to so eventually it's gonna be data coming from all

755
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: different Germany is starting to make all kinds of cats

756
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: and deniab what the medicine can do? What are we

757
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: waiting for? We're all just waiting. I will. I believe

758
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: my gut says we're all waiting for the right enough

759
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: data and proof for these fucking old white men to go.

760
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: You're right, that looks like pharmaceutical to be Hey, you

761
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: know we can buy what? Well, the pharmaceuticals are are

762
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: finally there, because I've already got some inside info that

763
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: some pharmaceutical companies are buying smaller pharmaceutical companies that are

764
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: dealing with epilepsies and seizures, and those smaller companies are

765
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: in the cannabis games. So therefore, the big cannabis company

766
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: about are the big pharmacy about that little company that's

767
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: already dabbing into it, so they don't look like they're

768
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: part of it yet. So I've been seeing the big elephant.

769
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm seeing the pharmaceuticals do these things. And I've gotten

770
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: from you know, inside word of like, oh no, this

771
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: company is doing that. That company doing that, people that

772
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: actually work for the company, which is ironic that I

773
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: even have these conversations. So I feel like I see

774
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: that going in that direction. But your gut says four

775
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: to six years. Yeah, I think that's some time. We'll

776
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,479
Speaker 1: get enough data from them that they're gonna be happy.

777
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: It could happen sooner. But if I mean, I'd like

778
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: to be concerned, and I'm asking once again at the

779
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: v A four to six years so our veterans get

780
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: to cannabis rather than opioids. Yeah, I mean, that's that's

781
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. But hey, you know, Lisa in California

782
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: got sent a bill thirty four, And if you're a veteran,

783
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 1: go out to some SP thirty four events and try

784
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 1: some cannabis. Go slow, keep a journal to see what

785
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: works for you and find that right fit. What if

786
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: you're out in Texas where cannabis is illegal and you

787
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: can't get it, what do you recommend? You know, you

788
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: just hope they can find a way. A lot of

789
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: soldiers that serve our Texas and it's it's exact, because

790
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean I talked like I said talked with a

791
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: Member of Congresses past week and she's like, do you

792
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: think it's a state or federal issue. I'm like, we

793
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: still look at a state issue. It's kind of state

794
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: that state. She goes, that's crap, the Feds we need

795
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: to start picking this up and take you. I feel

796
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: I feel like it's federal issue. Me I I look

797
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,959
Speaker 1: at its offense because once it goes federally illegal, let's

798
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: figure out how we can get h v G C

799
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma without having to go Oklahoma license. And all

800
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 1: I say, Arizona everything else, Like, if you can survive

801
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: in California during this who entire thing, you're gonna be

802
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 1: everywhere because percent of what the black market or listen

803
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: markets still uses California cannabis. You know, it's just well California,

804
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: we were saying this earlier. California just has the best

805
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: cannabis from the people that are producing. It's all the

806
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: big brands. And not only that, some of these big

807
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: brands that you're getting, you're getting the same kind of

808
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: thing on a black market. You don't even know what

809
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: it is. They're throwing the same exact thing. And that's

810
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: what I tell people. I'm like, that's the most scary

811
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: part about and I'm happy to be on a board

812
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: with San Diego. We're writing new cannabis ordinance down there,

813
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: and we're talking about the testing and what we're doing

814
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: the barrious entry, and I'm like, you know, not only

815
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: the high taxation where you're just totally feeling the listen market,

816
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: but I'm like, you're not just losing money, but think

817
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: about the safety issues. Where we actually went into a

818
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 1: trap shop, we bought some oil, sent into a lab.

819
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: We know, We're like, hey, this is what's going on.

820
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: We were very clear with them. They're like, okay, they

821
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: called us up there, tell us at oils nowhere near

822
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: your guys actual world. No, They're like, oh my god,

823
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: there's stuffing here that might kill people. And then we

824
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: got the c o AS Certificate of Analysis and we

825
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,479
Speaker 1: actually one was a very well known brand and another

826
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: one is another very well known brand, and the c

827
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: ol ways match exactly. So whoever this guy was just

828
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: cut it, send it, put in two different boxes and

829
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: got out there and people could die from that stuff.

830
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: And that's what's most scary to me. It's like the

831
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: safety issue of not having a third party's tester on

832
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: this stuff. That's the whole thing about cannabis like that

833
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: where I feel like the game is changing in the

834
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: aspect as the black market will continue to grow, and

835
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: so does the cut game, you know what I mean,

836
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 1: Like we're gonna do exactly that when the babe things

837
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: just started, because let's just face it, vapor wasn't around.

838
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: We were kids still new. So there's addie shipped in there,

839
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: let's add oil, let's do this, let's add that, And

840
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: it's the old drug way of stepping on it. That's

841
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: the term is used. We step on our product to

842
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: make more of it in a way where we can

843
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: make more money. So when we see these things happening,

844
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: it scares me because, as you say, these illicit markets

845
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: and these trap shops, you can think you can go

846
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: in there, save it, and it goes back and goes

847
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: down to folks. If you're a legal spot, that's where

848
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 1: you want to go to because it's all been quote

849
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: unquote tested. Could something happen there? Strongly doubted? I think

850
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: it's nine chance not. I don't even And that's I

851
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: don't see it for being the case because they're not

852
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: trying to put any license and test exactly so food

853
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: you get at the store. But my point is even

854
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: when I say that, though, could something happen with a

855
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: bad batch, yes, the metal, because we never have tested

856
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: the exactly, so you know your best bet is to

857
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: go out there, Brian. I also want to touch on

858
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: you have a pre roll as well. Yeah, oh yeah, no,

859
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: we love these pre rolls. Um they honestly, they'd been

860
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: a great way for us to get a foothold in

861
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: the door, allow them tests out high between about and

862
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: just you know, we just really want to listen to

863
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: the consumers in the market and what they want to do,

864
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: and we just kind of listen to them and get

865
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: it out there. It's so funny. More the name of

866
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: this one is Tropic Thunder. There. I mean, what's the

867
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: reaction you're getting from the veteran community, because I mean,

868
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: you served your high rank? What is your ranking? Okay,

869
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: but you're in there. You burned your stars and bombs

870
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: in your front. Guy, you're in there. I believe in

871
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,479
Speaker 1: the I don't know the military status, but I woulda

872
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: believe you're looked at as somebody who's four front guy.

873
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, it's been great, and what I think

874
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 1: it's been tremendous for us. Is you know. I remember

875
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: when I'm talking to a couple of colonels in generals.

876
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: Now they're the big guys, right, So I'm telling them

877
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: this idea, and all you guys cocked eyebrows, like you're

878
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: gonna do what? Was what? And now you're gonna do something.

879
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: You're gonna go to prison. Boy, as soon as you've

880
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: got that, I RB They allat of them all reached

881
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: out to me like I was not a believer, but

882
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: now I am. And my first battalion commander, he's out

883
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: a Pennsylvania called Kenda True, and he was standing up

884
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: in a congressional meeting and he's like, I'm about to

885
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 1: say something I never thought I would ever say. He goes,

886
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: we need to do more veteran medical cannabis research, and

887
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: look at everyone goes, you need to call my man

888
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: Buckley out in California. And that's how it has can

889
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,439
Speaker 1: wrap up. And he's like, you guys are doing God's

890
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 1: work right now. He's like, I'm a firm believer of

891
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: And because the way you speak and the way you

892
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: have already had a plan of how you're working with

893
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: the Congress, I believe I could see you being a

894
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: forefront guy that's representing the military and cannabis at a

895
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: higher level. Like you said, you spoke to Congress women.

896
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: You know how to talk, you're talking to talk. You've

897
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: walked the walk, You've done your things, so I hope

898
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: to see you just do bigger and better things. So

899
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I mean, this is a mission of love.

900
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: I feel it. I love it. None of us are

901
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: taking a paycheck. Yet we just keep putting everything back

902
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: here and this is the most impetious, the most important

903
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: mission of our life. And you know, one thing I

904
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: want to point out. If you guys look at the branding.

905
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: You know obviously HV g C. We beat that one

906
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: up and we understand that. But if you look at

907
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 1: the five stars around the flower, that is the Southern

908
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: Cross constellation. It can only be seen in the South Pacific.

909
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: The marine raiders of World War two would use that

910
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: for celestial navigation to get to and from the objective.

911
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: So we want to incorporate that so deep saying that, Hey,

912
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of great men and women have

913
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: gone forward and fought for us, and they returned here

914
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 1: physically but not spiritually, and here at how many value growers.

915
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: We want to be the ones who kind of be

916
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: that beacon in a night to let them live that

917
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: American dream they fought so hard to defend. On the

918
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: box of the profits fund Medical Cannabis Research a hundred

919
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: percent of the profits. So that how does that even

920
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: work for you guys? You've got some funding back to

921
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: you trust fund Baby. Now we've we've been boots trapping

922
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: this bad boy. So it's been kind of crazy. We've

923
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: had a lot of great luck. We have a really

924
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: good partners down with if you guys know, Platinum Vapor

925
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: Platinum Products, George and Cody Sadler. When I told them

926
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: the story we wanted to do, They're like, hey, get

927
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: in here. We're gonna back you guys up and just

928
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: make us whole. So we're literally one of one brands

929
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: I think that could put a product on the shelf

930
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: for zero dollars. And all we do is like say

931
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: it cost us blank amount of money to get that

932
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: on the shelf. We pay that back to Cody and George.

933
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 1: They don't want any profits, Like that's all that's for

934
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: you guys to go do great things. That's it just great,

935
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, I always tell people, especially in cannabis community,

936
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: if you keep your moral compass point true north, the

937
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: good people are going to find you and help you out.

938
00:41:58,280 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm so grateful to be on your

939
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: guy show. We want to yeah, and we want to

940
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: do anything and everything to help you out. And speaking

941
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: of helping out, how long I love asking these random

942
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: questions to you because of what's the game we don't know?

943
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: Do you think the military active military will be able

944
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,479
Speaker 1: to use cannabis on a daily basis for healing? Because

945
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure when you're out there in Afghanistan, exactly when

946
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 1: can when can we give it to our active members?

947
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: You'll probably go through I think once they start saying

948
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: what's doing for veterans and we make it federally legal,

949
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a big hurdle. But we're

950
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: already seeing you know, in terms of working with the

951
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: Israelis is amazing. Talking with him, you learn, so you

952
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,439
Speaker 1: can spend ten minutes talking to me, you're learning twelve

953
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: new things right Well, they're already starting to give it

954
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: to their soldiers in a micro dose fastened when they

955
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: get hit by a blast wave, So they're like for example,

956
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: you guys, your players in the NFL, they go into

957
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: the blue tent and get deem concusts the best thing

958
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: for them right then, but give them cannabis. Use his

959
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: brain swelling and speeds up the recovery activity. So we

960
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: want to kind of like, I think in time we

961
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: can get to that point. And we've got a great

962
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: friend of ours. He played twelve years in the NFL.

963
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: He used cannabis this entire time. He tells me of

964
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: my friends did too, and we're like, it would be

965
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: really interesting doing eat his namet. Charles demery Um, a

966
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: great guy. He played, actually finished up his career with

967
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: the Chargers. But you know, I was like, it would

968
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: be really interested to take you know back then He's

969
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: like everything we just said was weed. We we don't

970
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: know what we were smoking, but it'd be cool to

971
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: look at his brain and guys who use cannabis versus

972
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: NFL players who didn't use cannabis, and just see what

973
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: their brainwave activity is and maybe there's something there. But

974
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: I think in time they will bring this in because

975
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: why not just have a little vate pen with your

976
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: coreman and hey, you got hit by an I E.

977
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,919
Speaker 1: D Or you got can cussed here, take a poll

978
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: of this and we're goes. You're already down for two weeks.

979
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: Let's just start getting them going. You would think that

980
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: would be the case. So, I know you said four

981
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: to six years before you can see the v A

982
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: given it to, you know, potential vets that come home. Yeah,

983
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 1: what is your timeline that your gut says for active

984
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: in a decade? Yeah? I was saying, it's funny because

985
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: once again, though, if it goes to the federal government,

986
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: if the federal government, though, makes it legal sooner, don't

987
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: you think we can see it sooner? That happened? Yeah,

988
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: I would now correct me both of you, Mark and Brian,

989
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: if you elaborate on this. If the federal government makes

990
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: it legal, could the military still say it's still illegal

991
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: though for you to do this, because we're the hiring

992
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: aspect of it, and we don't want to hire up

993
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: our members. When you signed you like UNIFER Code of

994
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: Military Justice or u c MJ, I mean you're giving

995
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: up rights. I mean, so they can still no matter

996
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: if it's federally legal, even though they can go drink,

997
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: get opioids all that other stuff, federally legal stuff. It's like,

998
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: for example, like pilots can't touch alcohol for at least

999
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: state eight hours before they fly. They do, they've just

1000
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: committed a crime in the military, So you still make

1001
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: the rule. They will still can make some rules like

1002
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: that then yeah. I mean it's for example, it's COVID

1003
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: shots a hot topic right well, since the after A

1004
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: approved it, it's a lawful order now for them to

1005
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: tell everyone active duty you will get a COVID shot,

1006
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: even if they're against in or whatever. You can't. I mean,

1007
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: I got I've been vaccinated for anthrax. Uh uh what

1008
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: say anthrax? Everyone's like, where are you going? Well, people like,

1009
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: oh man, you got the COVID shot. Are you worried?

1010
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, I'm a walking vaccine. I'm like, I

1011
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: don't even care. Fine, pumping up, let's go. You know.

1012
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: It's like every we got, I'll take it. I mean,

1013
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I mean, if that's gonna slow me down,

1014
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: fine whatever. At least you got us to other show

1015
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: because we're both vaccinated with shots too. We don't care,

1016
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, whatever. There you go. Well, you know, we

1017
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: always like to do the high five with everyone. But

1018
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: even before we do the high five. I want to

1019
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: kind of get your opinions on what you've gotten on

1020
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: these uh different strains you have, on what the effects are.

1021
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: What are people saying about the sour Deesel, the train,

1022
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: the purple train Wreck, Like is it more bodies? Yeah,

1023
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's really interesting for me. Like a lot

1024
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: of the great feedback has been on Afghana because that's

1025
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: been great for sleep. But certain vets are like, hey,

1026
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 1: the sour diesel is just getting my body right, puts

1027
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: me in the right spot. I mean, I love train Wreck,

1028
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 1: So it's nice when you you're part of a cannabis company,

1029
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: You're like, hey, I want some train. That's what we do.

1030
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: Is that your personal favorite? My personal favorite? Just why

1031
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: it's just daytime. I'm kind of you know, I'm not

1032
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: getting too sleepy off of it. It just makes my

1033
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: body feel right and I feel good. And that's when

1034
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: I start falling in love with the live reson because

1035
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 1: that stuff, you're not gonna get a tremendous head high,

1036
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: you could feel good, but just the body high just

1037
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: loosen up the joints and everything just so relaxing to me.

Speaker 1: out with him for like two hours actually, and how

1085
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,239

Speaker 1: they told us before we got he met president and

1090
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:05,000

1091
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 1: the guys conjugated around the presidents. I looked at Barbara,

1092
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, mam, can I give you my arm? And

1093

1095
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 1: all iced tea, was very like thrilled about it. It

1096
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: was like eight of us in around table, and he

1097
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: just threw a joke at me and I ripped him

1098
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: right back, and I forget what it was. And I

1099
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: look at his dad, who's right next me. He's laughing,

1100
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: and then Barbara has her iPhone out next me, taking

1101
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: picture saying how cute I am. And I'm like, this

1102
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: is the most surreal moment. I'm ripping on the president.

1103
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: He was like a first lady snapping selfies with me. Yeah,

1104
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 1: I mean it was great. And then like we're all

1105
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: going to play golf and he was gonna play in

1106
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: front of us and crazy playing golf. You guys played

1107
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: with the president. We played off from and then with

1108
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: the black SUVs were on. You get on the golf

1109
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: course with the President. I don't care if he's in

1110
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: my force. But the best was he goes, He's like, hey,

1111
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: how do you hit him? I'm like, well, sir, if

1112
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: you hear me yelling for make sure you duck. Now,

1113
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: this is where I saw George Bush doing Will Ferrell

1114
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: doing George Bush. And he goes, He's like, oh, you

1115
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: could yell quite true, And it did like a whole

1116
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 1: laughing and I'm like, I was such a dork. I

1117
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: sat there and laughed, like, but it's so funny. As

1118
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: you said, Bush is one of those ones that was

1119
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: like one of the best characters. And of course he was,

1120
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,839
Speaker 1: you know when eleven I've been watching so many these

1121
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: specials and seeing him and how he handled it, what

1122
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: he did. I feel he has a dude amongst dudes,

1123
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: like he doesn't take himself too serious. He pokes jokes.

1124
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: What are you saying that? As I've been watching all

1125
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: these shows, as there's been so many out I don't care, Netflix,

1126
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: hul Amazon, sucking all these ones, like so many different

1127
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 1: elements of watching the shows. On The Women at nine

1128
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: eleven was last night on ABC, right, so, and I've

1129
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 1: been my wife last and you're watching another one. I'm like, yes,

1130
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: I'm picking. You can't help but watch all of the apples,

1131
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: the one who had a good one that I watched, uh,

1132
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: and it has showed so much detailed on Bush, on

1133
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 1: what he was doing and how he handled it, and

1134
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: him talking like I had to stay calm, I had

1135
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: to do this, and we went to this became a

1136
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: president and in my opinion of Ruin is I get

1137
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: chills right now just thinking about that saying about him,

1138
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: because you can't just pop off the fucking hook And

1139
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: what do I do? Or place could be with a

1140
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: bunch of like you know, second graders and story and

1141
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: then watching them reading and then finally went in to

1142
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: his ear again to see how he handled it during

1143
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 1: it when it happened. Then he finally left, and even

1144
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 1: seeing what he did when it happened, and him wanting

1145
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: to go back to Washington and then Secret Service having

1146
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: a trump him and say nope, you can't go back yet.

1147
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: I loved his balls of do you guys know who

1148
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: I am? And he they go, do you know who

1149
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,919

1150
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: what you say, we get to tell you. A huge

1151
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: fan of I mean like, even when I left, the

1152
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: only time he got serious, I'm like, hey, Mr President,

1153
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: I'll know if this is gonna say. I always felt

1154
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: like he had our back, and he got such a

1155
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: serious face and he just punching my chest and he goes,

1156
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 1: I always had your fucking back, And I'm like, I

1157
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 1: know it, and it legit. He did, dude. That's so

1158
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: that's great. That's how I feel about him too, because

1159
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,919
Speaker 1: even when it happened, and then of course he wasn't

1160
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: the president to get Osama. But you know when Barack

1161
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 1: came in and to finish the job that he started

1162
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: with Obama, the first call he made was the Bush

1163
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: to say, hey, we got him. I just want you

1164
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: to be the first one to know. Oh really, I

1165
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: didn't know that I was really good on him. That's

1166
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: not surprising. Yeah, it's not a class at I've always

1167
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: told been the classes a h. I feel like you've

1168
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,959
Speaker 1: been one of the classier people that we've had. Let alone,

1169
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,719

00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 1: from one side of this. We've been through a lot.

1171
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for the moment as I've been trying

Speaker 1: to make Joe Biden sound like the next best thing
