I didn't know what to expect.\\xa0 It isn't every day that one gets to sit down and talk with a\\xa0 former recruiter for Al-Qaeda and ISIS.\\xa0 What led him down that path; why did he ultimately leave that life; what is he doing now to make amends, if one can make amends for such heinous acts committed; and perhaps most important, what can we learn from him to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our nation?

The answers to these questions and more are revealed in this timely interview with Jesse Morton, a one-time suburban kid who became, in his words, The Ivy League Terrorist. \\xa0 The conversation I had with him just five days before this 18th anniversary of 9/11, is part of a larger project Lorelle Media is producing about how to counter violent extremism.\\xa0 Morton's chilling words about the divisiveness gripping our nation, and its connection to terrorist strategy, will stop you in your tracks.\\xa0 At least I hope it will.\\xa0 \\xa0\\xa0
