Summary

Chris Whitcomb is one of only 200 agents who've had the honor of serving in the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team. A veteran of multiple theaters of operation, from Ruby Ridge, Waco to Afghanistan and beyond, Whitcomb's unique and hard-earned insights into the world of elite law enforcement and intelligence services is unparalleled.

Having seen the crucible of conflict up close in highly volatile environments such as Kosovo, Israel, Somalia, Zambia, and Timor-Leste, Whitcomb is no stranger to the trials and tribulations of the field. Featured in the Netflix docuseries, "Waco: American Apocalypse", and a bestselling author, he's now using his platform to shed light on the realities of frontline conflict, the war on terror, and the intricacies of domestic and foreign intelligence work.

In addition to his hands-on experiences, Whitcomb's post-FBI career as a Global Security Advisor for NBC News, co-host of Checkpoint CNBC, and a prolific commentator and public speaker, lends a unique and broad-spectrum perspective. Prepare yourself for a journey as we uncover the hidden world of the elite forces shaping our world, discuss Whitcomb's role in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, and the heart-pounding moments of live operations to the intense preparation and training required for such critical assignments.
