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.

From the Drug Violence of Miami to Colombia: His DEA Journey to the Cali Cartel. His early start in Law Enforcement was as a part-time police officer on the Jersey Shore, which eventually led to his role in one of the most dangerous assignments in law enforcement history, Chris Feistl's career is a story of grit, perseverance, and determination. His journey took him from the drug violence of Miami to Colombia, where he helped dismantle the infamous Cali Cartel, a saga now immortalized in books, podcasts, and Netflix series like Narcos. Chris Feistl is our guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on our website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most podcast platforms. “Miami was chaos during those years,” Feistl recalls. “The violence from the Cocaine Cowboys was unlike anything most Americans could imagine. We were in the middle of a war.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. The Cocaine Cowboys Era After joining the DEA following his service as a Virginia Beach police officer, Feistl was assigned to Miami, Florida, ground zero for the cocaine trade in the late 1970s and 1980s. The era was defined by the so-called “Cocaine Cowboys,” traffickers who turned Miami into the epicenter of cocaine smuggling and drug-related violence. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . One incident still stands as a symbol of the times. On July 11, 1979, a brazen daytime shootout erupted inside a liquor store at Dadeland Mall. Armed with submachine guns, assailants gunned down rivals in what police described as a “Wild West-style” shootout. Their escape vehicle, later found abandoned, was stocked with weapons and bulletproof vests, earning the nickname “war wagon.” “Miami was the Wild West,” Feistl explains. “Every arrest could turn into a gunfight. That's the environment we lived in daily.” From the Drug Violence of Miami to Colombia: His DEA Journey to the Cali Cartel. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. From Miami to Colombia While in Miami, Feistl's investigations often led back to Colombian suppliers. By the early 1990s, his path took him directly to Colombia itself. Arriving just after Pablo Escobar's death, Feistl shifted focus to the emerging powerhouse of the drug world: the Cali Cartel. “The Cali Cartel was unlike Escobar's Medellín Cartel,” Feistl said. “They operated with a corporate structure, independent cells reporting to managers. It made them more sophisticated and harder to infiltrate.” At the height of its reign between 1993 and 1995, the Cali Cartel controlled more than 80% of the global cocaine market, raking in billions annually. Robert Bonner, former DEA Administrator, once called them “the most powerful criminal organization in the world. No drug organization rivals them today or perhaps any time in history.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Taking Down the Cali Cartel Partnering with fellow DEA agent David Mitchell, Feistl joined a special task force charged with dismantling the cartel. Together, they spent years tracking the cartel's leaders, an effort that culminated in the arrest of the Cali “Godfathers” and the collapse of one of history's most powerful crime syndicates. “Our mission was clear,” Feistl says. “We had to take them down. It wasn't easy, but the Cali Cartel was too big, and too dangerous to continue unchecked.” From the Drug Violence of Miami to Colombia. His success earned him some of the DEA's highest honors, including the Administrator's Award of Honor and multiple Distinguished Service medals from the Colombian government. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Legacy in Media and Pop Culture Chris Feistl's extraordinary career has been documented across media platforms, ensuring his story reaches far beyond law enforcement circles. He co-authored the book After Escobar: Taking Down the Notorious Cali Godfathers and the Biggest Drug Cartel in History, offering readers a first-hand account of the operations that brought the cartel down. Netflix's hit series Narcos dramatized his work in Season 3, introducing millions of viewers to the complexities of the Cali Cartel. Feistl has also appeared on Drug Lords: The Cali Cartel (Netflix), Narco Wars (National Geographic), Finding Escobar's Millions (Discovery), and German Cocaine Cowboy (Prime Video). His journey and story resonates across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and beyond. Beyond television, he has become a frequent guest on top podcasts including the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, sharing his expertise on platforms like their website along witt Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more. He's appeared on This American Life, Game of Crimes, Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard and Monica Padman, and The Adam Carolla Show. On the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show's Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and more fans can continue to follow his journey. From the Drug Violence of Miami to Colombia: His DEA Journey to the Cali Cartel. Looking Back After 26 years with the DEA, 12 of them spent in Colombia, Feistl retired in 2014 as Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix Field Division. Looking back, he often reflects on the risks, the victories, and the lives lost along the way. “We were fighting something much bigger than ourselves,” Feistl says. “But if our work saved lives and slowed the violence, then it was worth it.” From the drug violence of Miami to Colombia, Chris Feistl's DEA journey to the Cali Cartel remains one of the most compelling law enforcement stories of modern history. Through books, Netflix, and podcasts, his legacy continues to educate, inspire, and remind the world of the human cost of the global drug trade. Be sure to check out our website .

When Jefferey Lendrum was a boy, he loved birds. What began as a childhood passion volunteering for an ornithology program transformed into a life of wildlife crime - scaling cliffs to steal and then smuggle falcon eggs around the world. Despite multiple arrests, steep fines and various investigations - he just couldn't quit. What motivated him? How did his dedication to birds turn to destruction? This is the story of the “Pablo Escobar of Falcon Eggs”.

Join us as we discuss Jack Devine's recent USA Today Op-ed on the narcotrafficking threat, where he argues that Washington should collaborate with Mexico to take down the drug cartels. Jack's opinion is informed by his time as the CIA Chief of the Latin America Division and Head of the Counter Narcotics Center back in the early 1990s- during which time he was even involved in a collaborative effort to take down Pablo Escobar- the so-called “King of Cocaine.” Listen to what Jack thinks should happen next in Mexico, and why drones and intelligence might play an essential role in mitigating this collective security threat.
¿Qué pasa cuando te quitas todos los títulos? ¿Cuando ya no eres tu profesión, tu nacionalidad, tus logros ni tus personajes? Hoy en En Defensa Propia tengo una conversación tan honesta como transformadora con el actor Andrés Parra, quien se ha atrevido a hacer algo que muchos no logran: despertar. En este episodio hablamos sin filtros de la depresión, del ego, del éxito que no salva, y de ese momento en la vida en que todo se desmorona para que algo nuevo nazca. Andrés Parra, conocido mundialmente por sus impactantes interpretaciones de Pablo Escobar y Hugo Chávez, nos abre su alma para contarnos cómo, detrás del éxito y la fama, había un hombre que ya no se hallaba, que estaba perdido, que tocó fondo. Nos cuenta cómo grabar con Messi y separarse de su pareja al mismo tiempo lo llevó a un quiebre total, a un proceso profundo de transformación interior. Y cómo fue precisamente ese dolor el que lo llevó a la meditación, el silencio, la terapia, y las medicinas ancestrales como el yopo. Esta conversación es sobre cómo convertir el sufrimiento en sabiduría, cómo abrazar nuestras sombras sin identificarnos con ellas, y cómo podemos aprender a vivir felizmente deprimidos, como dice él mismo. Porque no se trata de eliminar las emociones difíciles, sino de entender que no somos lo que sentimos. Andrés también nos habla del proceso de crear su show espiritual, un espectáculo único donde mezcla la profundidad con el humor vulgar y basto, demostrando que se puede hablar de espiritualidad sin túnicas, sin solemnidades, sin pretensiones. Solo con verdad. Y con risa. Reflexionamos sobre la trampa del prestigio, del personaje que construimos para ser queridos, y sobre la importancia de recordar que todos somos una luz, antes de que el sistema nos etiquetara y nos llenara de capas. Hablamos de cómo volver al silencio, al corazón, al presente, es lo que verdaderamente puede transformarnos. Si alguna vez te has sentido perdido, agotado de fingir, o si estás en esa etapa donde nada te llena, este episodio es para ti. Porque Andrés Parra no solo comparte su historia, sino que nos da pistas, herramientas y recordatorios para volver a casa. Tickets Puras Cosas Maravillosas

Christopher Brewer grew up as an Army brat and enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1973 because he wanted to be a Ranger. Even though he had never jumped out of a plane prior to joining the Army, Brewer learned quickly and passed the rest of his training to become a Ranger. He later took on and successfully completed intense training while serving overseas that served him very well in Special Forces.In 1989, he was deployed to Colombia to assist government forces fighting against the drug cartels. The next year, he was in Panama, dealing with the volatile aftermath of Operation Just Cause.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Major Brewer walks us through his intense training as a Ranger and in Platoon Confidence Training. He also takes us moment by moment on the training mission where his primary parachute failed and it took every bit of his expertise to survive.Then Brewer takes us to Colombia, where he could not officially serve as a member of Special Forces. He explains what the overall mission was and his critical efforts to thwart drug kingpin Pablo Escobar from attacking and destroying an American radar station.Finally, he tells us about his deployment to Panama, confronting unrest from many different directions, sniffing out intelligence about a possible coup attempt, and dealing with turf wars within the military.Brewer is the author, most recently, of In the Shadows Between the Wars: Becoming a Special Forces Operator.

En este episodio de Mundo Narco nos adentramos en la vida y el ascenso de Carlos Lehder, uno de los fundadores del temido Cartel de Medellín. Desde sus inicios como un joven rebelde en Colombia hasta convertirse en pionero del tráfico aéreo de cocaína hacia Estados Unidos, exploramos cómo su ambición, carisma y conexión con figuras como Pablo Escobar lo llevaron a construir un imperio criminal sin precedentes. También revelamos los excesos, la ideología política radical y las alianzas que marcaron su camino, así como la traición y captura que sellaron su caída. Una historia de poder, aviones y cocaína que cambió para siempre el negocio del narcotráfico.
Chris Feistl and David Mitchell (After Escobar: Taking Down the Notorious Cali Godfathers and the Biggest Drug Cartel in History) are former DEA agents. Chris and David join the Armchair Expert to discuss the Miami Vice dream of being stationed in 1980s Florida as a DEA agent, the mechanics of providing transport for drug cartels, and how they became involved in the pursuit of the Cali cartel in Colombia. Chris, David, and Dax talk about the true magnitude of Pablo Escobar as the world's first narcoterrorist, how Cali cartel's approach to power differed from Medellín's, and why those at such a high level in cartels can't quit while they're ahead. Chris and David explain breaking the rules by working unilaterally to get the job done, operating under the assumption that everything and everyone was corrupt, and the real-life raid to capture the head of Cali that inspired Narcos Season 3.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Medellin Cartel rose in the 1980s by flooding the United States with cocaine, providing dope to dance floors in Miami all the way to crack houses in Los Angeles. Forbes magazine once estimated the tidal wave of powder made the cartel's top trafficker Pablo Escobar $9 billion and its No. 2, Carlos Lehder, another $2.7 billion. While these numbers are likely major over-estimates of how much individual narcos actually keep, the cocaine trade certainly served up billions of dollars to Colombia, fueling an armed conflict involving the cartels, army, leftist guerillas and right wing paramilitaries that tore the South American nation apart and left a lot of families weeping. Escobar gained an infamy alongside Al Capone and later El Chapo as the most well-known mobsters of all time. But Lehder was also a fascinating character. He personally piloted planes and had his own private island in The Bahamas, which he used as a trampoline to bounce blow state side. The son of a German, he was portrayed by Netflix Narcos with a swastika tattoo as a Neo-Nazi narco. And he went on to become the star witness against the Panamanian dictator General Noriega, who was a CIA agent and an ally of Medellin Cartel before the U.S. invasion of Panama took him down in 1989. So when I recently got a message that I would have a chance to interview Lehder, who is now free and back in Colombia after a 33-year stint in prison, I scrambled to get there as quick as I could. The man I discovered was more humble and less boastful than you might expect, but then decades in a cell including four years in solitary, changes you. He has written a memoir of “Life and Death of the Medellin Cartel,” which you can find here and provides a revealing first-hand account to understand the period. We spoke for hours in what I believe is Carlos' first English language interview. He goes into fascinating details about how the Medellin Cartel really functioned, its relationship with guerillas and paramilitaries, and how they owned governments and supplied the U.S.-backed Contra rebels. He also gets personal about what years in solitary does to your brain. I'm proud to say this episode show cases an important testimony that helps understand the history of the eighties in the Americas, while its also intriguing to see the man behind the myth.

In order to understand the issue of the cocaine trade in Colombia, we need to look at three factors: 1. Drugs Policy as a Geopolitical tool. 2. Markets: A Political Economic issue. 3. Narratives: the Myth of the Narco. On the Colombia Calling podcast this week we speak to Estefanía Ciro Rodríguez, expert on drug politics, the cocaine economy and the Colombian armed conflict. We discuss la Escombrera in Medellin, Pablo Escobar, Álvaro Uribe Vélez, Arms trafficking by the Sinaloa cartel and the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación to Colombia, genetically modified coca, cocaine seizures, the price of cocaine, and why Colombia as a nation needs to look in the mirror.

A few weeks ago, we had an incredible conversation with Dominic about his unique mission to document as many psychoactive substances as possible. Over time, he tried 182 different substances and compiled all his research into the powerful and informative book, The Drug User's Bible, a harm reduction resource to help people make informed decisions. In this follow-up episode, we dive deeper into some of Dominic's most memorable experiences. From LSD and mescaline to synthetic cannabinoids, truffles, and even a sample of Pablo Escobar's cocaine! It's another fascinating and insightful session with a good friend of the show. I really enjoyed this one and I hope you do too. Roll one up, settle in, and enjoy the ride!

Ibrahim Akasha was the kingpin of East Africa's heroin highway, setting up a massive tracking empire that stretched from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran to Kenya, South Africa and Europe. When he was gunned down in 2000, his sons stepped into the void, hungrier and even more violent...but also, more sloppy. They struck deals with Pakistani mobsters and Colombian cartels, turning Kenya's ports into gateways for global dope. But their empire crumbled in a DEA sting straight out of a Hollywood script.

When the Medellin Metro opened in 1995, the Colombian city had recently been called the “murder capital of the world” due to the high homicide rate caused by Pablo Escobar's drug wars. The network has grown to include a large cable car network which stretches to the neighbourhoods built into the sides of mountains that surround Medellin. It has helped transform the city into a tourist hot-spot – something unimaginable 30 years ago. Tim O'Callaghan has been speaking to Tomas Andreas Elejalde, who is the general manager of the Metro.

In the early 70s, Miguel Angel Villavicencio was focused on making his most ambitious dream possible: to become a famous singer in Bolivia and across the world. And he was halfway there—his love songs were on the radio and he was appearing on TV. But to take his singing career truly international, he needed money. So he decided to work for Bolivia's most powerful drug cartel in the 80s—a major supplier for Pablo Escobar. Choosing this path would lead him on a journey of self-destruction, unexpected betrayal and finally, redemption.Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.
