Here’s a unique episode with guest Mr. John McGarry, who spoke on campus for a revelatory general assembly.  He is the Assistant Special Agent in Charge with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration in the Milwaukee District Office. A deployment with the U.S. Marine Corps to Columbia, South America, aroused his desire to become a DEA agent and facilitated his goal of joining something bigger than himself to give back to this country what his immigrant parents received.
He and host Dr. Matt Davis discuss 9/11 from John’s perspective at Quantico. They talk about leadership as epitomized in the Marine motto (lead by example) and the need for compassion. Then the subject turns to the threats spawned by synthetics drugs, particularly fentanyl. He explains the history, the complexity of the “war on drugs,” and its permeation of all societal levels. John describes the seemingly unachievable mission of using law enforcement to reduce demand in the illegal drug trade when we are the prime consumers. He compares the staggering numbers of drug-related deaths to Al-Qaeda-associated murders. Finally, he articulates that emulating Jesus Christ motivates his perseverance.
