Well if you're like us and you've been following the horrors that have been unfolding in Israel and the residual abortion of media coverage

It's very difficult to make heads or tails of any of the situation but it's important enough where

you ought to pay some attention to it so the ruthless variety program is taken

upon itself to do a special episode today releasing this one early and it's just on this issue.

It's with the guy who we think probably knows more about this topic

than anybody else in the face of the planet, Brian Hook.

I hope you enjoy the interview. Well with all of the world

events in our consistent trials and tribulations of how to accurately characterize these things in a very dynamic situation.

We thought what we would do was bring in, I think the guy who knows more about this stuff than anybody else.

Certainly more than us.

Certainly more than us.

His name is Brian Hook.

He was President Trump's envoy to Iran.

You've got a literally a resume that reads like, well you just need to talk

to this guy about all of that.

Because you serve three presidents, a variety of foreign international roles.

Thank you for spending some time with us.

No, it's great.

Thank you.

Thanks for having me here.

And you're now in the private sector, which I suppose is...

Happily. Yeah yeah especially now it's good to be in the private
