Hugh talks at length with Len Khodorkovsky about Don Lemon and CNN’s unprofessional, shout-down interview last week and the cracks showing in the Iranian regime.

Len is not only a Soviet Jew who escaped to America and came to helm State’s digital efforts in Mike Pompeo’s State Department, he’s also an expert on Iran’s theocracy.
