65. Can I have the crib note version?

"Whether the Russian government was involved"? Does that mean he suggests there is some doubt in regard to that?

Can you tell me whether the shows on his site and those listed on RT are the same? Did the Calexit program appear on RT?

I looked at the RT list of podcasts, dozens of them listed. I don't see Calexit mentioned or Russia at all.
https://www.rt.com/shows/big-picture/

I'm listening to the postcast on Calexit and he seems very supportive of it. This isn't looking good for your case, at all. He gives a whole slew of stats and arguments of why it would either be good or not a problem, and then says, "I'd prefer they wouldn't." Then he compares it to decisions by individuals to live abroad.

The callers seem to know he's supportive of the plan.
