On the Red Apple Podcast Network. I'm beginning with a law enforcement interview of a remarkable official, a now retired DEA special agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration. His name is Mark Minelli. And Mr. Minelli, I gotta tell you, man, upfront, you are the real deal, brother. Thank you for, for joining us.

And that's a good thing, uh, in terms of for your safety and for our country. I mean, you are just remarkable. So I ... You know, in, in, uh, in preparing for today, you have flipped very bad guys to work for you undercover. Guys like, uh, you know, former dealers like Roberto Rodriguez, right?
