Exploring Foreign Policy and Creative Undertakings

In an Assad-free Syria, the population is elated, the rebels have expelled a tyrant, and the region has the breathing room to create a better environment for democratic rule. So why is the foreign policy establishment wringing its hands? And we're joined by two prime-time TV greats, The Office's Brian Baumgartner (he played Kevin Malone) and Ben Silverman (Executive Producer of the show) to talk about their new illustrated book: The Night Before Christmas” at Dunder Mifflin.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
