What happens when a former comedian-turned-CIA officer joins a former FBI agent-turned-journalist at DC's Bier Baron Tavern to discuss the state of the world? We don't know either, but you should join!

Emily Brandwin, co-host of UNREDACTED, will take the stage with CNN's Josh Campbell as part of the launch of his new book, Crossfire Hurricane: Inside Donald Trump's War on the FBI.

Come take part in a robust discussion about life inside both the CIA and FBI, the successes and failures of the intelligence community, and the future of the rule of law in America.

Doors open at 6pm and the live podcast taping starts at 6:30pm. Beer, wine, cocktails and food will be available for purchase from the Tavern's great menu.

Half of the author's proceeds from Crossfire Hurricane will be donated to a charity fund supporting the families of fallen FBI agents.

Come join after work for a fun time and engaging conversation in support of a great cause!

Follow Emily (@CIASpyGirl) and Josh (@joshscampbell) on Twitter, where they first met.

The #1 Live Weekly Podcast in the World! Tony Hinchcliffe hosts his wildly popular podcast with his cohost Brian Redban. Rising young up and coming comics or failing older comics get their name pulled out of a bucket, do one minute of material each, and then Tony and his two weekly friends/guests give feedback, extra material, and ask questions to the young performers always leading to a hilarious debacle. Past guests include Joe Rogan, Sarah Silverman, Doug Benson, Jeff Ross, and Russell Peters. Kill Tony episodes can be found at deathsquad.tv and on iTunes.

If you’re interested in potentially performing on the Kill Tony Podcast, sign ups begin roughly an hour before the show until shortly before show time. You’ll need to write down your name, and if possible a twitter account, and performers will be called up during the show after being randomly drawn from the bucket. Performers will have 60 seconds to perform before being interviewed by Tony, Brian and the guest judges.
