<p class="MsoNormal">American actor and Democratic political activist Sean Penn recently conducted a controversial interview with Mexican drug lord Joaquí;n Guzmá;n Loera AKA &#8216;El Chapo&#8217; for <em>Rolling Stone Magazine</em>. Republican candidate and champion of immigrants Marco Rubio calls the interview &ldquo;grotesque.&rdquo;  ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&ldquo;If one of these American actors who have benefitted from the greatness of this country, who have made money from our free enterprise system, wants to go fawn all over a criminal and a drug trafficker in their interviews, they have a constitutional right to do it,&rdquo; said Rubio last week on ABC. &ldquo;I find it grotesque.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The interview took place in a secluded jungle clearing somewhere in Mexico. Over 100 of ;Guzmá;n&#8217;s ;men stood watch as he spoke with the American actor for seven hours. ;Through the interview, we learned that ;Guzmá;n ;started business at the ripe age of 6, when he began selling soft drinks and oranges. The now-infamous drug lord was only 15 when he started growing poppies and marijuana help his impoverished family.  ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today, &ldquo;I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana than anybody else in the world,&rdquo; said ;Guzmá;n. &ldquo;I have a fleet of subamrines, airplanes, trucks, and boats.&rdquo; ;Guzmá;n&#8217;s ;fortune is estimated at about $1 billion and has come with more than a little bloodshed. Still, ;Guzmá;n ;does not consider himself a violent person. &ldquo;Look, all I do is defend myself, nothing more,&rdquo; he ;said ;to Penn. &ldquo;But do I start trouble? Never.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The drug lord is one of the planet&rsquo;s most wanted fugitives and has escaped jail twice. He was finally captured last Friday in Sinaloa, Mexico after a short gun battle. ;<em>The Hill</em> ;reported that the interview may have helped authorities track him down. ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&ldquo;Sean Penn is not someone I spend a lot of time thinking about,&rdquo; says Rubio. &#8220;I didn&rsquo;t even know he was still around. I guess [the Mexicans] used the interview that he had in order to find him. That&rsquo;s fantastic. I hope they extradite &lsquo;El Chapo&rsquo; to the United States.&rdquo; ;</p>
