The world is intrigued by Sean Penn meeting with El Chapo.. The Rolling Stone published the interview just as the drug kingpin was re-arrested. . The interview is bizarre. Controversial.
Some people are angry at Penn. The issue even became a campaign talking point for Republicans on the trail, Marco Rubio today saying it was out of line but not illegal. There are, however, some interesting interview comments that the interview has given the world to digest and contemplate.. Among them:
- I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world. I have a fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks and boats
- Well, it’s a reality that drugs destroy. Unfortunately, as I said, where I grew up there was no other way and there still isn’t a way to survive
- I don’t usually drink
- On Trump: “Ah! Mi amigo!”
- The only way to have money to buy food, to survive, is to grow poppy, marijuana, and at that age, I began to grow it, to cultivate it and to sell it
- On drug addiction: “No, that is false, because the day I don’t exist, it’s not going to decrease in any way at all. Drug trafficking? That’s false.“
- On drug consumption: “If there was no consumption, there would be no sales. It is true that consumption, day after day, becomes bigger and bigger. So it sells and sells”
