Welcome back to Potsay the world. This is Tommy Vittor. Thank you all for tuning in as always. It is a packed show today

I know I say that often, but this one really is so Ben Rhodes and I did the normal news

But we were lucky enough to be joined by Tony Blinken

and he was a deputy secretary of state, deputy national security adviser and the Obama administration is just a brilliant guy

We talked through the ongoing disaster that is Brexit

We talked about the very scary rocket firing between Hamas and Israel and Gaza

We also talked about BB Netanyahu's trip to DC and President Trump deciding to officially recognize Israeli sovereignty over the goal on heights and what that all means

Then we talked about the fact that ISIS has apparently lost its final bit of territory in Syria that is obviously good news

We talked about the long-term implications and then Secretary Pompeo and his continued saver rattling in Venezuela

And finally, there were some reports that suggested the reporting around the Russia Mueller report was somehow worse than the reporting about WMD leading into Iraq

So we try to unpack that one and see what the hell that means. Then I am lucky enough to be joined by Joe Cerncioni

He was the president of the Plowshare Fund and Yasmin Silva who was a partnership manager at Beyond the Bomb

They both are in part of the organizations that want to stop the spread of nuclear weapons

They want to prevent a nuclear war from happening

So we talked about why they hate nukes

Incredibly important conversation does not get enough coverage in the media because I think it's such a horrible scenario that people want to imagine it's not possible

But it is, but there are things we can do to stop it and they are too great activists who can help us understand how you personally can get involved

And finally, world-os want to know we talked about what technology platforms and individuals and governments can do to stop radical content from spreading online

So, about further ado, here's the conversation with Ben and Tony Blinken

Ben Rhodes, Tony Blinken

I was hoping we could start with Brexit because watching British politics right now is the only thing that makes me feel good about our own

So last week the EU imposed a new deadline of April 12th for the UK to either approve Theresa May's Brexit deal or ask for a long-term extension or exit the EU without ironing out all the thousands of details that govern commerce or travel
