John Nores has served as a game warden with the California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. There he co-developed the Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET) and Delta Team, the CDFW's first comprehensive wilderness spec ops tactical and sniper unit, aimed at combatting the marijuana cartel's decimation of California's wildlife resources. In this interview on The Reed Morin Show, Nores exposes how Mexican drug cartels are running illegal grow operations, stockpiling weapons, and waging a silent war inside America’s national forests.From armed confrontations in the backcountry to government inaction, this podcast dives into the real cartel threat no one is talking about—and what it means for America’s future.Support John: https://www.johnnores.com/Timestamps: 00:00 Intro1:59 John Nores Background5:35 Cartel in USA Is Worse than you Think15:10 Narcotics Black Market in California 36:09 China Entering the Weed Trade49:06 Testifying to Congress 57:53 First Confrontation with Cartel1:19:50 Did Anyone Know About the Cartels?1:30:34 Cartel Vietnam War1:46:46 Forming the MET Special Forces Team1:59:52 Structure of MET2:18:03 Importance of Combat Dogs2:25:35 Strategy for Hunting Cartels2:37:56 Politics Hiding Cartels 2:49:51 What Cartel Grow Sites are Like2:59:26 Special Forces Working with Mexico3:06:05 What Cartels are Doing Now3:14:27 OutroPlease leave us a review on Apple/Spotify Podcasts:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/reed-morin-show/id1653324768Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2Dzr5Xoov2oqrW9y2vVLWh?si=3126520329894250Follow The Reed Morin Show:Twitter: https://twitter.com/@ReedMorinShowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/@reedmorinshowTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@TheReedMorinShow #cartel #podcast #military #crime #reedmorinshow
