This is one of the wildest podcast episodes you will ever hear. Tamer Elnoury is the first Muslim FBI agent to go public about the agency’s undercover war on terror. Tamer spent nearly two decades infiltrating and thwarting the most dangerous Al-Qaeda and ISIS terror cells in the United States and around the world. As a matter of fact, Tamer helped thwart several post “9-11” attempts and literally has some of the most unbelievable stories you will ever hear or could possibly imagine. Just LISTEN in today and be mesmerized by this man’s career and what he has done. WOW!

Here are some of the questions that Tamer Elnoury and I discussed on the IMPACT SHOW:

• One of your undercover techniques is letting the “target” choose you. Why is that so important, and how difficult is it to get the target to “choose” you sometimes?

• How does a covert counter-terrorism operation come to be and what exactly was your role?

• How did you get recruited to be part of this task force?

• What was the hardest part about your job?

• How important are the teams you work with? 

• What was your method for getting into character when about to go undercover each time? How long did it take him?

• How long were you undercover for each time you would go over to the Middle East? 

• The story of the “American Sleeper” that you talk about at the end of the “60 Minutes” episode. Do you still think the “American Sleeper” is in the US and do you still wonder if you would have found him if you stayed in the FBI? 

• Did you ever think your cover was blown? 

• Did your family know why you were away when you were undercover? 

• How many alias’ did you actually have undercover? 

• Why did you write the book, American Radical? Visit www.AmericanRadical.com for more information. 

• 6-pillars from TD that summarize Tamer Elnoury’s career.

WOW. You talk about IMPACT and legacy. What a crazy story that has positively impacted (and SAVED!) thousands of lives. And thank God there are people like Tamer Elnoury to take down the “bad guys.” My heart is so full of gratitude for the men & women who are doing things that Tamer did…and we have no idea that it’s even happening!
