    Ex-Hells Angels leader George Christie sits down with Ian Bick for an explosive, no-holds-barred interview.

In this powerful conversation, George shares what life was like as a Hells Angels leader, the truth about outlaw biker culture, what it was like serving time in federal prison, why he left the club after three decades, and the lessons he learned about loyalty, betrayal, and redemption. #HellsAngels #OutlawBiker #GeorgeChristie #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonStories #MotorcycleClub #OutlawLife #ianbick Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring today's episode!

    DEA Agent Reveals Truth About The World's Most Violent Gangs | Wesley Tabor Sr.
    2025/09/10
    Wesley Tabor Sr. grew up poor in a broken home, raised by a single mom who later married a convicted felon. Instead of following that path, Wesley became a cop and eventually joined the DEA, where he built a successful 23-year career fighting cartels, gangs, and drug traffickers. In this powerful interview, Wesley reveals how cartels smuggle drugs into the United States, the rise of violent gangs like MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the Mexican Mafia, and why he believes there’s no real justice in America’s system. He also opens up about the DUI crash that nearly paralyzed him and almost ended his career, along with unbelievable stories from decades on the frontlines of the war on drugs. This is an unfiltered look into the dangerous world of organized crime, cartel trafficking, and the failures of the justice system—from someone who lived it every day. #DEA #Cartels #DrugTrafficking #MS13 #MexicanMafia #TrueCrimePodcast #TrendeAragua #organizedcrime Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!
