    The Intelligence: They thought it was Sall over

    The Intelligence: They thought it was Sall over
    Macky Sall, Senegal’s president, has said he would not stand again. So what to make of the move to delay the election until December? Our correspondent says that many artificial-intelligence researchers think fakes will soon become entirely undetectable (10:11). And as football manager Jürgen Klopp steps down at Liverpool, we ask why being a leader is so very tiring (18:03).

    Georgia Used Terrorism Law To Detain Activists Protesting Police

    Georgia Used Terrorism Law To Detain Activists Protesting Police
    In Atlanta, dozens of activists who oppose a new police and fire training facility are being accused of domestic terrorism. That has alarmed civil liberties and human rights groups — and reignited a national discussion over policing.

    Protestors have alleged that law enforcement are targeting out-of-state visitors for arrest. In an interview on WANF-TV, Georgia's Attorney General Christopher Carr said "if you come to this state, engage in acts of violence to destroy infrastructure and property with the intended effect of changing public policy, it is a domestic terrorism charge." Carr's office did not respond to NPR requests for an interview.

    This episode: national political correspondent Sarah McCammon, domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.

    The podcast is produced by Elena Moore and Casey Morell. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.

    Ep. 287 - Ban Antifa And Arrest All Of Its Members

    Today on the show, the domestic terror group Antifa staged a violent riot over the weekend. People were pepper sprayed, bludgeoned with crowbars, and more. A journalist was put in the hospital. Antifa is nothing but a violent hate group and it should not have any right to exist. But what's most concerning is the reaction (or lack there of) on the Left. We'll talk about it today.
