Smaj., I really appreciate your interviewing style. Great job. John's story is very intriguing, I had no idea the game wardens had such an uphill battle (literally) and conducted such operations. Thanks for the great content. Always looking forward to what you bring to youtube. Semper Fi.

Great interview. Really enjoy your podcasts and interviews. If you are a hunter and especially if you hunt more of the back areas - you know this to be true. Every year we've been out deer hunting we've ended up spotting suspicious vehicles, camouflaged areas, water collection systems to capture water for "grows", and yes, trip wires, etc. We've found game cameras for monitoring these areas various systems setup with car batteries, etc. When I was a kid you'd rarely see these things in the NW. But over the last 12 years it has become practically blatant. You literally better have your head on a swivel because while we love to go out and hunt - it's dangerous.

Why does anyone need an AR15?? I have personally run across a grow op in the wild......it was pretty unnerving, I had a pistol as always but I've never felt so naked as walking into someones op and not knowing if I was alone. I'm glad to hear that teams like yours are being stood up. I wish I could say that this was eye opening, but this just being largely ignored. It is obvious why this gets no press....it doesn't support the narrative that open borders are no problem.....they are a problem but you just get labeled as a racists if you tell the truth. Precious few people have a problem with Mexican people.....but drug dealers, growers, and human taffickers??? It is a shame that the press turns a blind eye to this crap simply because it puts sunlight on an issue that they are on the wrong side of.

He goes in with small units... LE operation or combat operation I’d say he’s operating. His ass is on the line to protect others... Seems pretty operator to me.

On an additional note....Mike, If you want to truly give back and make a true difference and continue to save lives, instead of giving huge sums of monies to groups that are just reducing the actual freedoms we're supposed to have in America every time they "expand" their operations, perhaps consider "cutting the the head off the snake" by working with or donating to groups that are fighting to ELIMINATE the illegal growers and all their evils by letting ANYONE Grow and use these simple plants themselves! As someone that obviously appreciates CBD products and their benefits would't you agree that, given a choice of which "evil" to try to stop, that ending the child trafficking being done by rogue elements within CPS, State & Fed. agencies as well as independent groups like the cartels, ought to rank higher than the growing of plants? Every year thousands and thousands of children and babies(Yes

Everyone has a feeling why it doesn't get more attention.Whether the origin is corruption or political ideology , it's being suppressed. Guys like John telling the truth , then people following it to the logical conclusion makes it all of the issues he mentioned- border security, immigration, race. It doesn't matter that none of it is about race or nationality to most of us- it either is to them or they make it so as a lever to use . In the end it only reinforces any belief that it really is about race on both sides, perhaps that's the downstream reason for it. We tend to take the pragmatic Occam's Razor view of things( all about profit etc) but what if it's more than that?

So when are you ex special forces guys going to live up to the oath you took to protect this country from enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC!?!? You dont stand for true freedom if you are not willing to die for your own people in your own streets. We the people have been under obvious attack from our own government for over 100yrs now. My father is a former decorated Green Beret from Vietnam. He never allowed me to serve in the military as he saw first hand, all wars are bankers wars. He was not going to let his only child be a pawn for international bankers and their destructive goals. Stand up and be the men you claim to be.
