The Duran Quick Take: Episode 310.

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's blackface photo and video scandal, which has the virtue signaling, neoliberal standard-bearer trying to explain his obsession with painting his face black, for which he has done a minimum of three times, and at the mature age of 29 years old.

With elections in Canada in less than a month, will Trudeau survive this latest scandal (in a long list of scandals), or will the woke mob culture he has pushed upon others during his tenure as Prime Minsiter, take him down as well?

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the latest attempt to derail Trump's presidency which revolves around the US president asking Ukraine to conduct a legal investigation into former US Vice President Joe Biden, who boasted, on video, about withholding $1 billion in US loan guarantees unless Ukraine fired the man charged with investigating his son, Hunter, and his son's company Burisma for corruption.

The Washington Post is now quietly reporting that a July 25th phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky did not contain an explicit quid pro quo if Ukraine launched an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden's son as initially reported.

In other words, there was no quid pro quo (during that specific phone call) offered in exchange for Trump asking Ukraine officials to investigate possible crimes committed by Hunter Biden.

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the British government and its opponents battling out in the U.K. Supreme Court in a legal case over Brexit that may determine whether Boris Johnson broke the law by suspending Parliament at a crucial time ahead of Britain's departure from the EU.

Remain and Brexit protesters exchanged shouts outside the court building on London's Parliament Square, as the government's opponents argued that Boris Johnson illegally shut down Parliament just five weeks before the country was set to leave the European Union for the "improper purpose" of dodging lawmakers' scrutiny of his Brexit plans.

Pro-EU MPs accuse Johnson of misleading Queen Elizabeth II, whose formal approval was needed to suspend the legislature.

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the soon to be EU Commission President, Ursula Von der Leyen’s bizarre and hysterical EU commissioner roles and descriptions, which appear to be more of a troll than a real political title...but in today's Brussels PC culture, we must assume that Von der Leyen is serious in the roles she has given to her army of technocrats.

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss European Central Bank President Mario Draghi decision to cut deposit rates and start open-ended bond purchases. Draghi is making a final run at reflating the euro-area economy, before Christine Lagarde takes over as ECB chief.

Draghi and Lagarde are moving to further integrate the EU along the lines of French President Emmanuel Macron's vision of an all-powerful, centralized Brussels ruling over weakened, periphery member states.

The Duran Quick Take: Episode 303.

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss US president Trump's oval office comments on the firing of John Bolton. Trump announced on Tuesday that he had fired Bolton, saying he had "strongly disagreed" with many of Bolton's hawkish positions.

During a short Q & A in the White House Trump hinted at a change of course in US foreign policy, citing how Bolton had been a "disaster" on North Korea policy, "out of line" on Venezuela, and had not gotten along with important administration officials.

Bloomberg is likewise reporting that Bolton was fired after disagreeing with Trump on Iran, and a disagreement over the possible easing of US sanctions on Iran.

Two Court decisions in the UK on Brexit.

One Court decision - that of the Scottish Court of Session - is hogging all the attention because it ruled Johnson's prorogation of Parliament unconstitutional.

The second decision - by the High Court in London - is attracting far less attention even though it is the more powerful Court. It said that Johnson's prorogation of Parliament is not only constitutional, but is not subject to legal challenge.

John Bolton said he resigned. Trump tweeted that he fired the now former national security adviser.

Who cares. The dangerous neocon warmonger is no longer a part of the Trump White House.
