0:00.0 | What's up everyone? Welcome to Weekends, Anna Casparian and Nando Villa with you. Nando, |
0:20.8 | how are you doing? How's your weekend so far? Doing well, doing well. My little puppy has |
0:26.1 | diarrhea, so that's the only thing that's on my mind, really. I can't even think about anything else |
0:33.0 | other than that. I'm terrified, but I'm sure she's going to be okay. Yeah, you're a new dog. Well, |
0:40.8 | I don't know if you've had dogs before, but I remember, when I was a kid, I had a dog, but you know, |
0:48.9 | I was a kid, so it wasn't really my responsibility. Yeah, yeah. I remember when I first got my dog, |
0:54.5 | and it's same story. I had a dog when I was younger, but of course, I was living with my parents, |
0:59.7 | so they took care of the dog. And then when I adopted Charlie, the first two months were the most |
1:06.4 | difficult, because it is all you can think about. I know it's crazy. It sounds crazy, but you know, |
1:11.8 | you're responsible for this living thing. I can only imagine how much more stressful and difficult |

1:33.2 | top of me when I'm kind of like, and I just looked out and there's just poop all over my shirt, |
1:38.8 | because I'm like, that's not that's not a good sign. So that's my morning. |
1:46.0 | Well, we've got a great show ahead for you guys today. Nando is going to give us an update on |
1:54.2 | Lula De Silva in Brazil, and we're going to have Danny Bessner on to talk about foreign policy, |
2:00.6 | and where we stand right now with Iran and the possibility of rejoining the Iran nuclear deal. |
2:08.2 | It's going to be a great show. As always, please leave your super chat questions throughout the |
2:13.6 | program, and in the tail end of the show, we'll answer some of your questions and read some of your |
2:18.3 | comments. And before we get to, you know, all of the stuff we have prepared, I just wanted to quickly |
2:25.9 | bring up the latest with Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York. A lot of news has broken since we last |
