About this episode

The episode discusses the U.S. campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court and explores Europe's housing crisis and the use of AI by criminal gangs in Europe.

The U.S. is on a public campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court. Now, it wants help from its NATO allies.  During a closed-door meeting back in July, U.S. envoy to NATO Matthew Whitaker asked allied countries for help in disassembling the international court that addresses genocide and crimes against humanity.  On the show, Sarah Wheaton and Kathryn Carlson discuss the European reaction and the motivations behind this American push. Next, Europe’s housing crisis is deepening. Sarah Wheaton spoke with the Commissioner tasked with tackling the problem, Dan Jørgensen. And criminal gangs in Europe are using AI to figure out where they can build their illegal tobacco factories to not get caught. Finally: We want to hear from you!
