One great job, you know, 203 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: and it reminds me of how I structured to set 204 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: up like you know when through my education platform, I 205 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: asked everybody to you just put these together right here, 206 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: right I told him, put these these triafoles together.

I mean, like I and it's so ras, 209 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: but but I see handily told people to do this. 210 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: This is what we train people to do is to 211 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: build these right here, and build that, and build that 212 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: and and build this if he's got it, and I 213 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: would look at this, I'm like, this is what I 214 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: you know what, I would say, Hey, you know step one, 215 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: this is what you gotta do, you know, but how 216 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: do did you get here? So basically I went home 217 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: with the idea. I was like, you know what, I'm 218 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: not going to let these guys try to ruin what 219 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: I got, you know, or what I'm trying to do. 220 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: So I was thinking, you know, a dispensary right now 221 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: in California, Like let's like kind of dish that in 222 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: the you know, in the wind right now. But I 223 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: was thinking, Brandy, there's not that much like Hispanic really representation. Um, 224 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: if there is, it's Pablo Escobar or because the Blancos 225 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: it's a negative twist culture and we don't really recognize them. 226 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: We don't like it's just it's almost the propaganda of 227 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: latinoisms of like, dude, you want to still make us 228 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: look bad that morta you look ye that you're looking 229 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: at you're going mobstership, You're you're going for the you 230 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: know what I mean, I'm Pablo Escobar.

Yeah, continue please. So 233 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: basically I wanted to do a representation for Mexican, for 234 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: Mexican heritage. Um. I didn't see anything out in the 235 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: field at all. Um, So I was like thinking, like, 236 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: you know what, let me put Emilio Sabatta on there. 237 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: And then I got the same thing, and they were like, 238 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: so why are you guys putting the top of Teo 239 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: man like on these passage So that's when our education 240 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: comes in, Like, actually, this is Emilio Sabata. He's actually 241 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: like the Malcolm X of Mexico. But what's really cool 242 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: is that he's back in the western time, so everything 243 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: is just like grimy, like you know, go rush Like sure, 244 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: you know, he showed up a gorilla warfare like you know, 245 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 1: had Poncho Vieta with him.

But basically, like he's really 248 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: really you know, really big in Mexico and really big 249 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: in our heritage.

I'll say this is that in 353 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: their mind they believe that because of that, they could 354 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: create a story that makes them more superior than you overnight. 355 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: But they don't realize is that, you know, we have 356 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: this influence on the streets right now, We have this 357 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 1: influence on people right now, We have this influence on 358 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: on life, on how we act and how we weld 359 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: our stuff, and and and you can't do that, you 360 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And there's a time in place 361 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: where they'll try and leverage it, but the facts will 362 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: usually come out, usually come out. Sometimes it's on us 363 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: when they try to come out with this uh you know, propaganda, 364 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: the propaganda about you. They think it's gonna work, and 365 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: it will if you fold. But if you don't fold, 366 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: what they'll realize is that you can't form weapons against us, 367 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: because if you haven't formed any weapons against them, there's 368 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: no way they could use their weapons against you, you know. So, 369 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: And I choose to use those words because I feel 370 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: like people try to form weapons against me all the 371 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: time through my career, blowing this show up, and I've 372 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: had you know, you know, people of all races try 373 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: to form weapons against me. And when you know, what 374 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: I've never done is formed weapons back. I just continue 375 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: to keep my path and and by doing that and 376 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: allowed them and myself to keep this uh uh movement 377 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: moving forward, like I see this now. I have one 378 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: question though, is how do you use this imaging? Do 379 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: you have to license that? Um? So, basically, if you 380 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: look at your laws, like, um, anything that's photographed before 381 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: or it's public domains nineteen six, I'm gonna use that 382 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: right hey that you know, I try to keep that secret, 383 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: but you just blew it out it right now I 384 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: think used to be between before nineteen twenty six.

So it's 648 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: it's kind of like people talking to you like you're dumb, 649 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: Like you don't know anything, well, do you let him 650 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: do it or do you just you know what, sometimes 651 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: you just can't really um put your energy like that. 652 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes it's just better off just whatever he wants, 653 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, they're checking out 654 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: my stuff, they're looking at it, they're admiring it, they 655 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: love the quality. That's why they're acting the way they are. 656 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: And so from that, we got our Instagram shut down 657 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: because you know, yeah, yeah, as soon as as soon 658 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: as we posted like we barely had like about like 659 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: four thousand I think four thousand followers our last one, 660 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: and it got like shut and for no reason, they 661 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: will say that we're doing like sexual harassment. I'm and 662 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: I'm part of the people that are running the social media, 663 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: so there's no way I'm letting so that that's that's 664 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: people naturally hating, you know. We we've been very fortunate 665 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: we haven't been shut down, but we've definitely even flagged 666 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: in Shadow band. In fact, I think we're being shadow 667 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: bad now. But the the concept is is like, you know, 668 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: people are naturally gonna try to own something that's great, 669 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: so they want to jump on your coach ol exactly. 670 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: And then you're a woman of color. And then they're like, yo, 671 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: I could you know, she needs my support And they 672 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: try to come in and be the shining you know, 673 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: guy in armor if you will, and find out that 674 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: they really ain't ship. But sometimes after you got to 675 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: let them gas of them. Yeah, and then I had 676 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 1: people like say, go back to the selling black markets, 677 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,720 Speaker 1: go back to selling, back to your homies and stuff 678 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: like that. It's that's you know, it's mostly where the 679 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: industry you mean, you mean where the started from. It's 680 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 1: mostly the white man out here that's doing it. It's like, 681 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: what's going well, really, they probably I mean, you're you're 682 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: an attractive women, so they probably want to sleep with. 683 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 1: It's basically like a culture vulture. They're trying to be that. 684 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: That's what it is. Because if you if you like 685 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 1: about like two years ago, there was this guy who 686 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: came out with the hispanic bass um what's the name, 687 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 1: I don't remember, but he was a white guy.

But you know, 963 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,479 Speaker 1: I was just like have like a little like what's 964 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,400 Speaker 1: going on? Why did you do what you do to 965 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 1: support the people and make something sort of left field 966 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 1: and stand up for people? Yeah? Where does it come from? 967 00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 1: Know when you're gonna probably get assassinated because people back then, 968 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 1: let people now do it exactly, we can't do it 969 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:07,120 Speaker 1: today folks.

Yeah, so they oh no, it 971 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,840 Speaker 1: was about February. But that's why I said, Like in Mexico, 972 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 1: it's really granding. So it's kind of like when people 973 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,920 Speaker 1: are fighting for the people, they know that their time 974 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,480 Speaker 1: is limited.
