What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe British prime minister, Andy Burnham, says it is clear that Russia interfered in the twenty sixteen Brexit referendum, and that countries across Europe face the same threat.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorJoining us from an undisclosed wellness retreat is Orsolya Bannerjack, a certified intention coach.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOrsolya, a government has confirmed a foreign state meddled in a vote. What is your reaction?
Orsolya BannerjackIn a general sense, Gloria, I see a country that never got clear on what it wanted, and the universe filled the silence.
Orsolya BannerjackRussia was simply the loudest voicemail.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSo you are saying the interference was the nation's own fault.
Orsolya BannerjackI am saying a vague intention invites a stranger's agenda.
Orsolya BannerjackIn a general sense, if you whisper your future, somebody in Saint Petersburg will shout it for you.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSaint Petersburg. That is rather specific for a general sense.
Orsolya BannerjackIt is a figure of speech. My rose quartz egg tells me the specifics are not helpful at this time.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLet me ask you plainly. Have you ever worked on a political campaign?
Orsolya BannerjackIn a general sense, we are all always campaigning.
Orsolya BannerjackIn a very specific sense, a twenty sixteen contract with a fantastic bunting supplier, which I cannot discuss.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYou just discussed it.
Orsolya BannerjackThe egg is cloudy today.
Orsolya BannerjackWhat I will say is that Britain needs a vision board with much clearer wording, and mine is twelve weeks, payment plans available.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have been asked to leave embassies for less sales pitch. Thank you, Orsolya, and please keep the egg away from the evidence.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorChip, I hear there is a county fair with a vision of its own. Please tell me nobody manifested it.
