Here comes the son? Brazil’s election tips rightward

Here comes the son? Brazil’s election tips rightward

Flávio Bolsonaro, populist-right son of the imprisoned coup architect Jair, received the most votes in the presidential first round. We ask why Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the incumbent, fell behind—and what is at stake when they go head-to-head. We examine Americans’ growing anger at automatic number-plate-reading cameras. And the demanding but lucrative business of nannying the children of the super-rich.

Guests and host:

  • Ana Lankes, Brazil bureau chief
  • Hollie Berman, news editor
  • Alice Fulwood, US business editor
  • Rosie Blau, co-host of “The Intelligence”
  • Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”

Topics covered:

  • Brazilian election, Lula, Bolsonaro, populist-right politics
  • Flock cameras, American law enforcement, privacy, surveillance
  • childcare, plutocrats
