The Hello friends welcome to weekends I'm Anna Kasparian joined by the wonderful

lovely Nando Vila.

Nando, what's up, how are you?

It's good to see you, I missed you.

I don't like these breaks.

I don't, you know, the breaks are, it's nice to have time off and on stuff, but I just I need to see your face and I can't go too long without it and now it's good to be back.

This guy, you're so sweet Nando. I've actually felt the same way.

I think I underestimated how much I love, first of all, I don't

underestimate how much I love talking to you, but I underestimate how much this particular show is like the place where I don't know I just

can like unleash my like thoughts in depth on what's going on in the news and we're definitely

gonna do that today in our decode segments I'm really looking forward to your

decode segment about Amazon workers so we're gonna get get to that. I'm going to do mine on

Neera Tandon the segment that I've been wanting to do. It's going to be great

Lots of sound I love dunking on near a time

Dunking on near T tanden, you know, is just it's it's it's what we it's what we need right now. You know us on the left, you know, it's dark times. We have to take some small pleasures in dunking on near

attendance. It's great, you know, so I'm very excited for your segment.

Definitely. Definitely. And our interview segment today is going to be

fantastic. We're going to have Corey Robin on, who's a political scientist, and he has a theory regarding Republicans and power that I think is really important to kind of counterbalance the narrative that we've been hearing in the mainstream press regarding

Trump and the Republicans. And it's a perspective that I think was controversial, but I mean,

evidence bears out what he argues that the Republican Party conservatism

specifically is actually incredibly weak when you look at the historical

context. So I loved reading some of his work
