Weekends: Lula Livre and Biden's American Empire w/ Daniel Bessner

Every Saturday at 1 PM ET, Ana Kasparian and Nando Vila broadcast live from the Jacobin YouTube channel. Weekends features free-flowing and humorous commentary on current events and political strategy. This is the podcast version of the show from March 13, 2021. Daniel Bessner joins us to discuss whether or not the Biden administration's policy is shaping up to be more of a continuation of Trump's or Obama's. We also cover the recent news of Lula da Silva's annulled conviction. Read Bessner's review here: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/02/do...
