Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Hook

This week, President Trump embarked on his first major trip abroad of his second term. The President traveled to the Middle East to improve diplomatic relations in the region and make economic deals for the United States. The trip aims to strengthen relationships with Saudi Arabia and the UAE, though the President is not scheduled to travel to Israel. Former senior policy advisor for the Secretary of State and former special representative for Iran, Brian Hook, explains the importance of the U.S. and Saudi Arabia working together for prosperity in the region. He also describes the diplomatic opening that President Trump has offered Iran and why they should agree to this opportunity with U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The current economic “moment” is seeing a generational re-ordering of global trade, alliances, and capital. The Trump Administration is unleashing an unprecedented and muscular use of economic power, with tariffs on historical allies and adversaries alike, ramped up sanctions on Iran and Venezuela, new investment incentives and reviews, and willingness to endure economic pain to remake the global order. The framework and objectives for this new use of economic power, however, continue to evolve.What tools are available for advancing America's strategic interests and what doctrinal guardrails should govern their use? How can the U.S. and partners limit emerging geoeconomic risks? What new models of economic integration, trade, investment, and development should we be pursuing? Which pathways are available to counteract adversarial challenges, and what strategic alignments are required among allies to sustain U.S. and global prosperity? As questions abound, the United States and its partners face choices about how to safeguard domestic interests while fostering global economic resilience and security.To examine these questions and more, FDD hosts an on-the-record expert panel including Brian Hook, vice chairman of Cerberus Global Investments; and Elaine Dezenski, senior director and head of FDD's Center on Economic and Financial Power (CEFP). Juan C. Zarate, chairman and co-founder of FDD's CEFP, will moderate the discussion.For more, check out: https://www.fdd.org/events/2025/04/21/the-trajectory-of-us-economic-statecraft/

Today, Morgan, Les, Marc, and Amy discuss President Trump's decision to revoke security clearances for officials who signed the Hunter Biden laptop letter and to withdraw protective details for former officials like Mike Pompeo, Brian Hook, and John Bolton. Meanwhile, U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is reorganizing the National Security Council.What message do these actions send to allies, adversaries, and current national security officials?

TOPIC: Somehow the anti-New-World-Order movement has been conditioned to accept, vote for, and defend people behind experimental gene therapy, microchips, digital currency, and collusion with foreign governments. The incoming presidential administration designated as the ‘golden age of America' has allocated cabinet selection to billionaire zionist Howard Lutnick and jewish zealot Jared Kushner, responsible for installing 15 and counting zionist, Israel-first, members of every major department of government from the CIA and EPA to the DOD and DNI. At least three picks are also members of the World Economic Forum openly, not to mention the selection of Brian Hook for negotiating peace with the zionist ‘Big-Israel' Ukraine, who is a Warhawk demanding war with Iran like the other cabinet picks. The incoming Senate Majority of Republicans, who are replacing the Democrats that want to criminalize the Bible alongside zealot Republicans, are calling on The Hague Invasion Act which would allow for “all necessary means” to be enacted to protect Israel agains international legal prosecution - including invading on the ground any country that backs such investigators and warrants. America is occupied by foreign, hostile, demonic, parasites, and they have gotten everyone to support the New World Order, Zionist, Sabbatean, Frankish, death cult. These are the Hexagram Handlers. With the 100 million dollar donation of Mariam Adelson to Trump and her belief that Trump is the Jewish savior, or Messiah, and with the MAGA mark, from the High Priest of the Church of Satan, firmly on the heads of millions of Christians and Jews, it is obvious what is unfolding with the building of Armageddon in the Middle East and the promise of the building of the Third Temple.

One of the smartest minds in America deep dives with fellas into the on-going crisis in Israel.

As Indonesia, Somalia, Niger, and Mauritania may be next to join the Abraham Accords, what interests unify these countries on Accord agreement? What will be the impact of Saudi Arabia’s alignment with Iran? What are the balance of power dynamics for the Iran-concerned Accord countries of Israel, Bahrain, UAE? What binds signatories to the Accords as regional political pressures mount? Discussants will assess the impact of the normalization of relationships they have evolved in the two and a half years since Accords were negotiated. Cultural shifts are already reported after two years of active Accords with Hebrew frequently spoken on the streets of Dubai. Trade has flourished. Flights and overflights are routine. But the United States’ role has shifted for a variety of reasons. Is America’s leadership critical to salutary Accord developments? Featuring: David P. Goldman, President, Macrostrategy LLC Hon.

Saudi Arabia on Monday agreed to let Israeli airliners cross its airspace en route to the United Arab Emirates after talks between Saudi officials and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner.The official told Reuters that Kushner and Middle East envoys Avi Berkowitz and Brian Hook raised the issue shortly after they arrived in Saudi Arabia for talks. The agreement was hammered out just hours before Israel’s first commercial flight to the UAE was planned on Tuesday morning. The Israir flight was at risk of being canceled with no overflight agreement.

Iran is in significant non-performance of its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Yet, the United Nations Security Council and America’s European allies have failed to “snapback” sanctions on Iran as agreed in the JCPOA.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: Donald Trump flies to Ohio for a rally, right as the state’s governor tests positive for coronavirus. Meanwhile, New York Attorney General Tish James files a lawsuit to dissolve the National Rifle Association on grounds of rampant corruption and financial crimes. And lastly, a wild story out of LA: Sheriff’s deputies organized in “secret societies” that functioned like street gangs cost the county $55 million in settlements for their corrupt and brutal behavior. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: Donald Trump flew into Ohio today just in time to not meet with Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, because DeWine had just tested positive for COVID-19. DeWine, to his credit, has been far more aggressive against the coronavirus than many of his fellow Republican governors. After testing positive, he headed home to self-isolate and did not meet Trump at the airport. Trump then gave a planned speech on reopening the economy in Cleveland, but used most of his time to rail against Joe Biden, saying the former vice president was in favor of quote: “No Religion, no anything -- hurt the bible, hurt god. He’s against god, hes against guns, he’s against energy, our kind of energy, I don’t think he’s going to do too well in Ohio.” endquote. Trump said Biden wants all those things because he’s following quote “the radical left agenda,” endquote. Buddy, we wish Biden was following the radical left agenda! Unfortunately, he very much is not. This is pretty much the attack line that the Biden campaign must be expecting, and if that’s the best Trump can bring, it’s clear he’s just grasping at straws and trying to play the hits. Guns and God? Sure, that stuff is catnip for conservatives, but at a certain point people have gotta realize they’ve heard it all before. NY Sues NRA New York Attorney General Leticia James filed a lawsuit aiming to dissolve the National Rifle Association, a huge target that has been under fire for months with allegations of financial impropriety and open corruption. What can I say, if you’ve got the shot, take it. Gun puns aside, the lawsuit is a huge step that represents a culmination of years of diligent reporting by Propublica and nonprofit newsroom The Trace, which broke story after story detailing the NRA’s internal chaos and corruption. James’s suit, according to the New York Times, accuses the N.R.A. and executives like Wayne LaPierre and John Fazer of “violating numerous state and federal laws” by kicking back some $64 million of organizational funding to enrich themselves and their friends and family over the past 3 years. The NRA is a nonprofit chartered in New York City, so this is basically James’s wheelhouse. Karl Racine, the attorney general of Washington, D.C., filed suit against the N.R.A. and it’s charity wing, which is based in DC instead of New York. It’s not going to be a quick fight, however: the legal battle is expected to take years, so the NRA will surely play a role in the 2020 election, as they have every other year. But it is a strong opening volley against one of the most noxious political forces in America. LA Sheriffs Also in Gangs Our last story today isn’t so much breaking news as it is a shocking reminder of how dirty police forces in American routinely get. According to the LA Times, a group of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies cost the county and their department $55 million in court settlements over a decades-long period, as they formed organized, aggressive secret societies that glorified brutal policing and operated like street gangs. IN the last 10 years alone, the county has paid out at least 21 million to these groups’ victims. They gave themselves names too: different groups were called things like “the Vikings,” “Regulators,” “3000 Boys” and “the Banditos.” They operated out of jails and sheriff’s department stations for years, acting with impunity throughout the tenures of multiple top LA County Sheriffs. The Times reports some of the gangs even had tattoos and “earned their ink” by breaking inmates bones. Take the biggest case the department was forced to settle: Francisco Carrillo Jr. was jailed for over 20 years before his murder conviction was overturned in 2011. He was arrested when he was 16 by members of the Department’s white supremacist Lynwood Vikings gang, who he later alleged in a lawsuit had manipulated witnesses to pick him out of a lineup. John Sweeney, an attorney who has represented families of people killed by deputies said quote: “I think it’s a willful failure. For some reason, they pride themselves, the Sheriff’s Department, on having these violent cliques I guess to show the public who’s the boss. But, you know, what it does is just fosters a horrible relationship between the community that these sheriffs serve.” AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: Mark Zuckerberg is facing some serious pushback from his employees, who asked him at a public forum on Thursday whether he would stop Donald Trump using the service to contest the 2020 election, according to Buzzfeed News. Facebook took down a Trump campaign post yesterday for misinformation, but has a track record of wimping out on bigger issues. The Tennessee Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that fear of COVID-19 is not a good enough reason to vote absentee, striking a nasty blow against vote-by-mail in that state. If a deadly pandemic isn’t good enough, what is? Congress has abandoned us, as Politico reports that Senators went home at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday and the House is out of session next week. They could get called back, but if they’re heading to home states it means a coronavirus relief bill is still a long way off. The State Department’s special envoy to Iran, Brian Hook is quitting, and being replaced by basically the worst possible person for the job: Eliott Abrams, one of the most bloodthirsty warhawks to ever grace the halls of power in Washington. Catch the Majority Report LIVE early today at 10:30AM ET! August 7, 2020 - AM Quickie HOSTS - Sam Seder & Lucie Steiner WRITER - Jack Crosbie PRODUCER - Dorsey Shaw EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - Brendan Finn

Hook, the Trump Administration’s top official on Iran, talks about the prospects for further prisoner exchanges and diplomacy with Iran; the threat from Iran’s nuclear programs; whether the US can sustain the UN-imposed arms embargo on Iran; and why iran is again at the top of the State Department’s list of state sponsors of terrorism.

Brian Hook discusses the future of U.S.-Iran relations and the current state of the Iranian economy during the coronavirus pandemic.

In 2018, The Trump Administration left the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), better known as the Iran nuclear deal, because it enabled the rogue regime’s support of terrorism, failed to address its ballistic missile program, and paved the way for Iran to have nuclear weapons in the near future.Despite Iran’s repeated violations of its commitments under the agreement, the other parties have resisted triggering provisions in U.N. Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2231 to restore sanctions on Iran. Under the timeline set forth in UNSCR 2231, the U.N. arms embargo on Iran is set to expire this October. Please join us as Special Representative Brian Hook explains the dire urgency of this matter and how the U.S. can use its authority under UNSCR 2231 to trigger “snapback” sanctions and ensure that international pressure on Iran continues.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin. The Senate needs to dismiss the articles of impeachment without any trial given the weakness of this process, but Democrats won't. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has destroyed the impeachment clause of the Constitution forever. When John Adams suspended habeas corpus and jailed journalists, was that worse than President Trump's phone call? When Abraham Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus and shut down 300 newspapers, was that worse than Trump's phone call? When Woodrow Wilson jailed his political dissenters, was that worse than Trump's phone call? When Barack Obama, used the IRS to silence conservative groups that opposed him politically, was that worse than Trump's phone call? Sadly, too many so-called scholars don't understand the safeguards against a mobocracy. Yet, it remains that Trump has been treated worse than any other president facing impeachment in the history of our country when it comes s to subpoenas and the Impeachment process. Finally, Brian Hook, Special Representative For Iran And Senior Policy Advisor To The Secretary Of State, calls in to discuss the status of Iran. We hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is warning the US that war with Iran would be "the mother of all wars" but did not rule out the possibility of a peace agreement. Americans "must understand that war with Iran is the mother of all wars and peace with Iran is the mother of all peace," Rouhani said while addressing diplomats Sunday in Tehran, according to Iran's state-run news agency IRNA. The Iranian leader also had a message for US President Trump: "do not play with the lion's tail, because you will regret it eternally." His comments come months after the Trump administration announced that the US is quitting the Iran nuclear deal brokered during the Obama administration and reinstating sanctions on the country. The sanctions are set to be reimposed November 4, and more than 50 international firms have said they will leave the Iranian market, Brian Hook, a State Department policy and planning director, said earlier this month.
