Eric FrattiniGUEST
No, pues lo mismo pasa en Israel, lo mismo pasa en Inglaterra, lo mismo pasó en Francia cuando François Mitterrand, el presidente de Francia, decidió mandar a un comando especial de acción directa de los servicios secretos franceses para volarle un barco a Greenpeace, que le volaron un barco en, en el atolón de Mururoa.

Bobby CapucciHOST
Mr. Epstein, however, struggled to fully ingratiate himself with France's political elite.
Bobby CapucciHOST
His most lasting contact was with Jack Lang, who served as cultural minister during the 80s under President François Mitterrand.
Bobby CapucciHOST
A charismatic figure who created popular culture events, Mr. Lang, 86, nevertheless, had long lost the political influence he wielded during the heyday of his career.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Still, Mr. Epstein savored the association, dining with Mr. Lang at chic restaurants and joining him at art exhibits and film premieres, according to emails.

Claudine HemingwayHOST
But later on, Francois Mitterrand finally turned back and said, we're good.
Claudine HemingwayHOST
We don't need a second one.
Claudine HemingwayHOST
Because of the cost and how much it took to get here.
Gabriel DelacosteGUEST
Because we are not in a great situation ourselves in order to give lectures to anyone.
Daniel TuttHOST
So this reminds me a bit of what happened even in France with Francois Mitterrand in the early 80s, where you had...
Gabriel DelacosteGUEST
The famous U-turn.
Daniel TuttHOST
Yeah, the famous U-turn, which probably, I mean, there is a sense in which the Marxist thesis of capitalism as functioning as a total system also lives, that thesis lives within the political arena.
C. Derick VarnHOST
Yeah.
C. Derick VarnHOST
And I think we see this in Mitterrand.
C. Derick VarnHOST
I think that is why things like Move from the Cloud even happened was a response to that.
