Michael Corleone Blanco discussed his family's infamous involvement in drug trafficking. Expressing a mix of feelings about his family's criminal past, Michael mentioned that he was raised mired in the illusion of glamour that came with the cartel lifestyle. He discussed the tremendous influence of his mother and the pressure to continue the family 'business.' Vlad asked why, even after accumulating billions of dollars, his family never ceased their criminal activities. Michael responded by alluding to the weight of past deeds and, perhaps, an inability to escape a life of crime once one is deeply entrenched. He also highlighted the constant need to protect oneself and one's wealth from enemies, suggesting the relentless cycle of violence perpetuated by the drug trade. Michael emphasized the guiding philosophy of his mother: 'If you live by the sword, you die by the sword.'
