  • The Clear & Present Danger To The Untied States From Narcoterrorism Stemming From Venezuela & South America (Part Two)

    The Clear & Present Danger To The Untied States From Narcoterrorism Stemming From Venezuela & South America (Part Two)
    Nov 2 2025
    Welcome back, everyone, for the conclusion of my interview with retired DEA Special Agents Steve Murphy, Chris Feistl, and Wes Tabor as we talk about recent maritime operations in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific involving the U.S. Navy eliminating drug running vessels. Here’s a little bit about these legends in the DEA. DEA Special Agent Wes Tabor was embedded in Venezuela, battling the drug cartel and gangs for three years. He had a front-row seat to the prospering drug trade and threat to the United States and wrote the book, Infiltrate America: Blood Routes and the Rise of Latin American Gangs. Retired DEA Special Agent Steve Murphy and his partner Javier Pena are best known for taking down the Medellin Cartel and its leader, Pablo Escobar. Steve is an expert in drug smuggling and cartels and is considered an expert in the world of narcoterrorism. Steve and Javier’s work was featured in many television documentaries and was featured in the Netflix special, DEA Narcos. Retired DEA Special Agent Chris Feistl and his partner Dave Mitchell are best known for taking down the Cali Cartel and its leaders Gilberto and Miguel Rodríguez Orejuela. Chris’s work was featured in many television documentaries and was also featured in season three of the Netflix special DEA Narcos. After listening to these three experts, it is clearer than ever to me that narcoterrorism is brewing in South and Central America is a clear and present danger to our country. Please enjoy this eye-opening and informative interview with real experts and not celebrities or people stuck in their echo chambers making stuff up as they go along. In today’s episode, we discuss: · What gives us the legal right to conduct these maritime operations?. · The Maduro family tree of drug running. · Maritime operations with the DEA. · The president is not ruling out strikes on Venezuelan drug production sites. Also, he is hinting that the next phase is ground assaults on illegal drug transportation. What have we done in the past to curtail these ground operations, and how effective have they been? · UN Article 51 · The president has said that for every drug running boat that is sunk, it is saving 25,000 American lives. · Most homicides or violent crimes have a nexus to illegal street drugs. · The complacency in this country regarding illegal narcotics. · Can we put aside our hatred of some for the president, for the common good, ahead of our feelings? · How does it make you feel, as retired DEA agents who spent a good chunk of your lives fighting high-level drug operations, that we now have a government that seems to be taking illegal drug operations seriously?

  • The Clear & Present Danger To The United States From Narcoterrorism Stemming From Venezuela & South America (Part One)

    The Clear & Present Danger To The United States From Narcoterrorism Stemming From Venezuela & South America (Part One)
    Oct 27 2025
    Welcome, everyone, to a special Cops and Writers Podcast. Since September, the US Navy has destroyed at least 10 vessels that were suspected of carrying illegal drugs headed for the United States, mostly in the Caribbean near Venezuela. I have heard so many opinions on this from ‘experts’, I'm using air quotes, and I wanted to get the true story. My mind went immediately to my interviews with retired DEA Special Agent Wes Tabor (episodes 235,236, & 237). Wes was embedded in Venezuela, battling the drug cartel and gangs for three years. He had a front-row seat to the prospering drug trade and threat to the United States and wrote the book, Infiltrate America: Blood Routes and the Rise of Latin American Gangs. So, of course, I asked him to be on the show again, and he graciously agreed. Of course, I would be remiss if I were going to be talking about drug cartels and smuggling not to have two experts who took down some of the most notorious drug cartels and their leaders in modern times. Steve Murphy and Chris Feistl. Retired DEA Special Agent Steve Murphy and his partner Javier Pena are best known for taking down the Medellin Cartel and its leader, Pablo Escobar. Steve is an expert in drug smuggling and cartels and is considered an expert in the world of narcoterrorism. Steve and Javier’s work was featured in many television documentaries and was featured in the Netflix special, DEA Narcos. Retired DEA Special Agent Chris Feistl and his partner Dave Mitchell are best known for taking down the Cali Cartel and its leaders Gilberto and Miguel Rodríguez Orejuela. Chris’s work was featured in many television documentaries and was also featured in season three of the Netflix special DEA Narcos. After listening to these three experts, it is clearer than ever to me that the narcoterrorism that is brewing in South America is a clear and present danger to our country. I feel this topic is so important that I’m doing an early release of this episode and will air the conclusion of this episode this Sunday. Please enjoy this eye-opening and informative interview with actual experts and not celebrities or people stuck in their echo chambers making stuff up as they go along. In today’s episode, we discuss: · Since September, the US Navy has destroyed at least 10 vessels that were suspected of carrying illegal drugs headed for the United States, mostly in the Caribbean near Venezuela. · What are these boats, and how much cargo can they hold? What drug(s) are aboard these boats? They are obviously not ‘fishing boats.’ · The obvious clues indicate that these go-fast boats are drug-running boats. · How to discover illegal narcotics on container ships. · Narco submarines and their use in drug smuggling. Not much fishing is being done from a submarine. · Where do you see this going in the future? Are container ships next? · Who is conducting the criminal investigation when people are recovered? Are there arrests being made? Who and where would the interrogation take place? · One criticism of these actions is that nobody is disclosing any evidence of drugs aboard these vessels. How would you get this intel? How closely do you think we are working with our intelligence partners (CIA)? · The president has ordered a carrier strike group led by the Gerald Ford into the Venezuela area. Donald Trump, who is now unfiltered as a second-term president, isn’t pulling punches. He is saying that this will continue, and he said. “We’re just going to kill people who are bringing drugs into our country. … They’re going to be, like, dead.” · There was never a ‘war’ on drugs. · Medellin and Cali cartel members in Venezuela. · The clear and present danger to the United States brewing in South America.
