The American right, I think one of the things that's so important to realise about Trump and we see this in so many other countries as well. You see it in Brazil, where there's a far like candidate who's gonna run in 2018, who's about 15 times scarier than than Trump, except for the fact that he won't have nuclear weapons, which is a pretty big exception. But his name is higher Bolsonaro. He literally craves return of military dictatorship. You see far right extremists in Europe as well. And one of the things they have in common is, they don't embrace or advocate conventional, conservative dogma. When Trump ran, he didn't run is as a Republican or a conservative. He ran as somebody hating and running against the policies of both parties. He ran against the Iraq war, and the war in Libya, and the prospective war in Syria. He ran against the idea of cutting social programmes in order to help the poor. The same thing is happening in Europe. What I see the Trump phenomenon being more than the evitable outcome of the right.

Printed "ringing", the speaker says "like"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "a far like candidate". The printed word "ringing" is on the page. They start with different first letters, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "printed", the speaker says "pretty"

Explanation: The speaker says "which is a pretty big". You will see "printed" written in the text. The first letter is the same, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "experts", the speaker says "extremists"

Explanation: Listen for "far right extremists in". Click "experts" here. Both words end the same, so listen to the whole word to catch the difference.

Printed "hearing", the speaker says "hating"

Explanation: You will hear "somebody hating and running". "hearing" appears in the text as printed. Both words start the same, so follow the sound, not the page.

Printed "prospensive", the speaker says "prospective"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "the prospective war in". The printed word "prospensive" is on the page. Both words look similar, so trust the audio for the correct word.

Printed "taking", the speaker says "happening"

Explanation: Listen again to "The same thing is happening". You will see the word "taking" on the page. They start with different letters, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "invaded", the speaker says "evitable"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "more than the evitable outcome". The text shows "invaded" instead. The words start with different letters, so follow the sound.

"Bolsonaro" matches the audio

Explanation: "But his name is higher Bolsonaro" may look odd on the page. It is said exactly like that, so do not click it.

"social" matches the audio

Explanation: "cutting social programmes in" looks like a possible trick. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.
