1/2; Moscow X: A Novel by David McCloskey (Author)

https://www.amazon.com/Moscow-X-Novel-David-McCloskey/dp/1324050756

CIA officers Sia and Max enter Russia under commercial cover to recruit Vladimir Putin’s moneyman. Sia works for a London law firm that conceals the wealth of the superrich. Max’s family business in Mexico―a CIA front since the 1960s―is a farm that breeds high-end racehorses. They pose as a couple to target Vadim, Putin’s private banker, and his wife, Anna, who―unbeknownst to CIA―is a Russian intelligence officer under deep cover at the bank. As they descend further into a Russian world dripping with luxury and rife with gangland violence, Sia and Max’s only hope may be Anna, who is playing a game of her own. Careening between the horse ranch in northern Mexico, the corridors of Langley, and the dark opulence of Putin’s Russia, Moscow X is both a gripping thriller of modern espionage and a raw, unsparing commentary on the nature of truth, loyalty, and vengeance amid the shadow war between the United States and Russia.

0:58.0	So what we have now is it's going to be too crowded in Idaho, California leaving and these are big retirement checks leaving.
1:06.0	We also speak of the troubles that are in Los Angeles and San Francisco, the homeless, and the inability of the local governments
1:17.4	to manage what appears to be a California problem that doesn't get solved by successive mayors and the
1:27.2	governor and the federal government doesn't have a solution right now.
1:31.0	Plus the migrants have come across the border. It's not a positive, and perhaps
