Mike Safo with Javier Pena & Stephen Murphy (Narcos)

From Jack Demsey’s and taped before a live audience of NYPD, joined today by the REAL DEA agents from the Netflix show “Narcos”, Agent Javier Peña and Agent Stephen Murphy. We talk about the release of their book “Manhunters: How We Took Down Pablo Escobar”, and what made them want to be law enforcement. We hear about how Peña left a bride at the altar to join law enforcement, and their undercover careers before joining DEA. 

Bringing it back to Narcos we learn about the first time they heard about Escobar. They tell us about their day to day activities down in Colombia while hunting Pablo. Of course, we talk about Murphy and the iconic photo the day Pablo Escobar died. We also discuss their assignments after Escobar was killed, the current war on drugs and the opioid epidemic.

From sleeping in Don Pablo’s bed to the story of a DEA Legend Kiki Camarena. Find out how their story got turned into one of the most popular Netflix series. All this and much much more!!
