Welcome back to Pod Save the World. This is Tommy Vittor. This is a new show from

Crooked Media where I try to bring you behind the scenes and to foreign policy

decision making. Here are all the stories of what it's like to travel with the

president to be in the room when the big decisions are made and to understand

what the issues are at play. Well how's keeping first we initially had launched

a show with the idea that would show up once every other week. I think we're

gonna go to once a week now due to popular demand so thank you for listening.

I'm excited about that. My guess today is Dan Restrepo. Dan was in charge of all

Latin America policy for President Obama. It's a brilliant guy. He understands

the politics, the policy. I really think you're gonna appreciate what he has to

say. But before we get to that, we want to quick word from our sponsor, SquareCash.

co-workers, really anybody. Sending and receiving is free and fast with the

to the only way we get love it to pay us back. Sometimes we take his phone and
