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&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s episode, we discuss:
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What gives us the legal right to conduct these maritime operations?. 
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Maduro family tree of drug running.
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Maritime operations with the DEA.
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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?
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; UN Article 51
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The president has said that for every drug running boat that is sunk, it is saving 25,000 American lives.
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Most homicides or violent crimes have a nexus to illegal street drugs.
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The complacency in this country regarding illegal narcotics.
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Can we put aside our hatred of some for the president, for the common good, ahead of our feelings?
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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?&nbsp;
&nbsp; &nbsp; All of this and more on today&rsquo;s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.
