| 0:00.0 | Hi, Brian Lair here. Up next, Brian Lair Weekend, three of our favorite segments from the week, |
| 0:04.8 | Package Together, for you to listen to on the weekend. So enjoy, and I'll see you back on the |
| 0:09.5 | radio Monday at 10 a.m. on WNYC and WNYC.org It's the Brian Lair show on WNYC. Good morning everyone. |
| 0:38.4 | We'll return to Middle East coverage in about a half hour with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, |
| 0:43.4 | who will take my questions and yours about U.S. policy and actions toward the current situation, |
| 0:48.7 | including President Biden now planning to go to Israel tomorrow. Also, every Tuesday on the show |
| 0:54.5 | this year, as many of you know, we're doing a climate story of the week. Today's is coming up in |
| 0:59.4 | about an hour when a meteorologist from Columbia University's climate school talks about how the |
