Aaron is the first journalist to give us a deep-dive into his new book, which covers the life and political ascension of Jordan’s King Abdullah. Aaron and I also talk about Jordan’s limitations in helping the Palestinians, Jordan’s relationship with Israel and the U.S, and Jordan’s active suppression of pro-Palestine activism in the kingdom.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
