Civil rights lawyer and social justice advocate Alec Karatkatsanis returns to Bad Faith to talk about his new book Copaganda: How Police & The Media Manipulate Our News. Alec zeroes in on the liberal media and political sphere to explain the establishment left's role in pushing the mythologies that fund the police, defund social services, and make the world less safe. Alec responds to growing pro-police arguments on the left, in particular the claim that the left needs to take crime more seriously if we want to win. Is Ana Kasparian right? Or does funding the police have no relationship to public safety?

Risky Business with Nate Silver and Maria Konnikova - Will AI Radically Change the World by 2027?

This week, Nate and Maria discuss AI 2027, a new report from the AI Futures Project that lays out some pretty doom-y scenarios for our near-term AI future. They talk about how likely humans are to be misled by rogue AI, and whether current conflicts between the US and China will affect the way this all unfolds. Plus, Nate talks about the feedback he gave the AI 2027 writers after reading an early draft of their forecast, and reveals what he sees as the report’s central flaw.

Consider This from NPR - Can the U.S. banish its citizens?

The Trump administration's move to send immigrants to a maximum security prison in El Salvador is the subject of multiple on-going fights in court.

But in an Oval Office meeting with the Salvadoran president this week, President Trump was already looking ahead.

"We also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways, that hit elderly ladies on the back of the head with a baseball bat when they're not looking, that are absolute monsters. I'd like to include them in the group of people to get them out of the country," Trump said.

Trump later clarified that by "homegrown criminals" he meant U.S. citizens.

No president has tried to do exactly what Trump is proposing.

In this episode, we hear from someone who argues it's wildly unconstitutional.
