ABOUT

Just Ask the Question is a provocative look at the news and events shaping world views.

Brian Karem, CNN political analyst and senior White House correspondent for Playboy, talks with newsmakers as well as those outside of the public eye--anyone who can add knowledge to the conversation--about issues that matter and entertain. 

Karem asks the hard questions and gets the answers you need and want on a broad range of topics--from what to expect from Congress to who's the hardest working actor in Hollywood.

Just Ask the Question is unlike anything you’ve ever heard.
