00:00:36.820
uprising going on in the southern hemisphere so we're not just talking about the eastern hemisphere
00:00:41.500
but also the southern hemisphere and that is in brazil and so since i've been covering down on
00:00:47.360

00:01:04.120
polish american investigative journalist matt thank you so much for being here with us on human events
00:01:09.020
thanks jack love love the intro awesome i know right i'm i give you the best intros in the business
00:01:14.960

great polish house ours there yep so so break it down for me now i was just out in mexico city i did
00:01:30.260
cpac mexico city i i spent a few moments with eduardo bolsonaro uh word of rostegui talked a lot of people
00:01:37.900
down there and i even spoke to some brazilian journalists and i said you guys got to tell me
00:01:42.860
because i see these videos online i see people in the streets but i don't have the background i don't
00:01:48.800
have that strategic depth of knowledge like i do with china walk me through what is the situation
00:01:54.140
as it currently stands in brazil sure so it is uh really dynamic down there massive protests and the
00:02:04.000
media the global mainstream media is not covering it tucker's done a couple segments that i've been
00:02:07.980
on with him it's been the only one in sort of with a global reach media platform that has uh covered
00:02:13.140
it at all but this is potentially the largest demonstrations the largest manifestations of
00:02:19.260
people on the ground in a democratic country maybe ever i mean we're not talking thousands tens of
00:02:24.100
thousands or even hundreds of thousands we're talking millions and when all said and done it
00:02:28.000
may even be tens of millions brazil is the sixth largest country it is the second largest in our
00:02:34.220
hemisphere after the u.s it's the third largest economy by gdp after u.s and canada in this hemisphere
00:02:39.440
and it's a systemically important country for many many reasons beyond even the virtue of its size
00:02:44.820
incredibly resource rich uh and a bulwark uh at least in the modern era against this encroaching
00:02:51.960
latin american communism that has swept much of that continent uh starting with venezuela obviously
00:02:58.380
cuba was the bastion where the soviets had their foothold in building their whole workers the world
00:03:03.460
unite global movement uh and then venezuela they had a big victory in 2000 with chavez which then
00:03:09.000
uh maduro took over after chavez's death uh and that's been now accelerating in latin america
00:03:15.740
colombia just went to the left under petro chile under boric uh and by the way we should we should
00:03:21.780
throw down for for this is the part that i can point out that the ccp's fingerprints are all all over
00:03:27.280
all over this where do you think they're getting the money to fuel this uh pro-leftist pro-communist
00:03:34.480
open to the chinese communist party this is what this is how they institute one belt one road this
00:03:39.200
is how they get into our hemisphere they want the naval bases they want the ports they want everything
00:03:43.860
inside our own hemisphere so the ccp is behind a lot of 100 percent and we you got to go even back a
00:03:50.820
little bit uh lula was president uh 10 years ago he was in 2012 he was pushed out because of a public
00:03:56.740
corruption scandal and even obama in 2012 when it all came out said that lula was uh was absolutely
00:04:02.160
corrupt and his uh his vice president chief of staff took over dilma rousseff she was then convicted
00:04:07.860
a few years later for the same ensnared uh public corruption scandal uh people remember operation car
00:04:14.560
wash and this was all related to china uh this uh this workers party pt this is lula's party
00:04:20.500
uh they were selling brazilian natural resource assets to china for cash and bags and they were
00:04:26.660
laundering the money in a chain of car washes hence the moniker operation car wash so you had lula dilma
00:04:32.280
and dilma got impeached and convicted and was out of office and then temer served out the last two years
00:04:36.840
of her term from 16 to 18 which is when boston arrow was elected in reaction very much in reaction
00:04:42.780
to exactly that corruption and that was very much connected to china and china is like we talk about
00:04:49.460
the 20th century by the way by the way so so lula right who who was backed by the leftists um the
00:04:55.840
supreme court's coming down which is totally leftist in brazil um the election you bear you just got
00:05:01.600
ahead of of bolsonaro in the election that's what this whole thing is about they're you know they're
00:05:05.380
pointing out so many issues with when i was in mexico city right um when i was down there i'm i'm
00:05:11.780
sitting here doing my normal human events daily show right we're doing it on remote and then all of a
00:05:16.580
sudden i hear this cheering this screaming from outside the hotel and i go and look and i look
00:05:22.100
down and it's it's a group of antifa and leftists about 50 of them and they've got and matt angel it
00:05:28.300
ain't like in the u.s where they've just got the antifa flags they've got full on hammer and sickle
00:05:33.660
red flags and what they're chanting is viva lula viva and they're talking i'm like this guy is like a
00:05:42.340
communist leader in totally who had been in prison and here they are in mexico the communists are out
00:05:48.460
in full force for him and it ain't like in the u.s where they play these word game over anti-fascist
00:05:53.120
no we're just communists we're yeah oh no they they you know when people tell you who they are
00:05:57.380
believe them uh lula and his party it's not coincidental that their symbology and their colors
00:06:02.560
are bright red five pointed stars it looks like the marxism the political marxism of the 20th century
00:06:08.460
which the soviets were pushing all over the world now we know it's the chinese pushing this
00:06:12.300
and they also five pointed stars it is one of their symbols and the fact that they you know telling you
00:06:17.200
who they are hammer and sickles and pictures of lula next to each other protesting outside cpac
00:06:21.900
mexico city what's funny is they're not protesting or counter protesting in brazil because they don't
00:06:26.820
really have much of a base which only further uh gives credence to the the protest movement saying
00:06:32.200
they don't believe this election was honest and we have to go back a little bit and you know show
00:06:36.460
the history lula in 1990 formed the sao paulo forum sao paulo forum is cpac for marxists uh and
00:06:44.100
latin american marxists in particular and the sao paulo forum is where chavez and maduro were incubated
00:06:49.020
it's where uh petro from columbia boric from chile eva morales from bolivia uh it is a who's who of the
00:06:54.900
most vociferous latin american marxists where marxism has still maintained a foothold uh and a lot of it
00:07:01.140
has to do with the geopolitics of the corruption of the narco traffic trafficking where they would even
00:07:05.900
have a popular support whether it's the majority or a minority they are politically relevant they
00:07:12.100
have been for quite some time and if you look at some of the regions where lula and this sort of
00:07:17.260
marxist political left has done well uh in brazil it's in the poorer regions where there's indigenous
00:07:22.240
people in the north and northeast around the amazon and they showed in this election uh when they had
00:07:28.620
the data up on the public site that bolsonaro got zero votes in some of these precincts well there are
00:07:34.540
videos online we can see video affidavits of indigenous people saying no i voted for bolsonaro
00:07:39.180
i'm being disenfranchised uh so it tells you that something is rotten something is fishy of course
00:07:44.540
what would be the antidote to that transparency and instead what we've gotten out of the supreme
00:07:48.660
court and the brazilian mainstream press is attack the messenger and the message no transparency and the
00:07:53.900
military has had a right to do an audit and the electoral court that's subsidiary to the supreme court
00:07:58.840
and led by the same guy alexander de moreas who's imprisoning journalists and bolsonaro's political
00:08:03.980
allies uh they instead of you know complying with a constitutionally uh allowed and uh endowed audit
00:08:11.100
they're doing everything they can to block it out they will wait wait matt don't don't don't just bury
00:08:16.000
the lead arresting journalists detaining oh we're gonna talk about that i mean is there something is
00:08:20.320
there something you might want to tell the class about that sure uh for the last three years
00:08:26.140
the supreme court under alexander de moreas who has been who was appointed by temer temer was the pm
00:08:31.380
the president who came in after dilma part of the same there's a globalist kamal and a communist kabal
00:08:36.020
and they work very very closely together uh and they appointed these just these justices or these judges
00:08:41.320
which you know the word is such a misnomer because judges supposed to be impartial they're supposed to
00:08:45.680
be jurisprudence applied to interpretation of law according to the constitution and instead they have
00:08:50.820
become a out of control judicial dictatorship at behaving autocratically they have a fake news
00:08:58.060
investigation perfectly orwellian as we are so used to these days where they have gone after journalists
00:09:03.920
uh arrested them put them under house arrest uh de-platformed them en masse uh they've even
00:09:09.820
arrested a boston era congressman who called them out so it's funny because one of the ways that they
00:09:14.960
would uh you put a fig leaf of law over law over these arrests is saying well these people criticize
00:09:20.840
the supreme court so we're arresting them but they spread fake news we have to arrest and and by the
00:09:25.240
way what happened when you yourself went down to brazil to look into all of this now that's and that's a
00:09:32.380
you know an important piece of context people always ask me because you you know me well and bannon and
00:09:37.080
what's my beat usually internationally it's europe it's the eu sovereigntyist movements in poland and
00:09:41.440
hungary and sweden and germany and france and belgium and italy and spain
00:09:44.940
etc well i went to brazil cpac september 2021 with jason miller who was uh launching who just
00:09:51.360
launched getter and was making a push in brazil so jason and i went down with a couple of our
00:09:55.300
brazilian friends who are based in america and i gave a speech in cpac uh and about journalism and
00:10:01.000
the media and when we were leaving and we'd already it had been broken on sunday afternoon one of the
00:10:07.000
mainstream press volha globo one of the sort of uh the cnn's of brazil uh had wrote an article on sunday
00:10:13.100
afternoon that we had been under surveillance the entire time we had met with jair bolsonaro at the
00:10:17.400
brazilian version of the white house pictures were floating around online and i said to jason i said
00:10:22.060
there's a good chance we're detained at the airport uh tomorrow when we leave and lo and behold that is
00:10:26.320
exactly what happened and they detained us and interrogated us and wanted to know all the names
00:10:32.200
of the people who were involved in brazilian cpac the organizers all the journalists we spoke to
00:10:36.620
all the political uh people elected from bolsonaro's party they want they said you guys are not under
00:10:42.260
arrest but we have a criminal investigation and we want to know as part of the investigation who did
00:10:47.440
you meet with and that was a very stasi tactic it opened my eyes they wanted names so they can do the
00:10:52.260
same thing that you know the doj is doing pre-dawn raids on journalists put them on the enemies list
00:10:57.480
sanction them revoke passports all things that they've been doing for the last few years and have
00:11:02.360
accelerated going into this election and then even more so after the first round and since the protest
00:11:07.080
movement began so that got me rather interested in understanding this uh out of control judiciary
00:11:12.800
that is totally at odds with the constitution and rule of law and so i did a very deep dive on this and
00:11:18.540
i wrote about 5 000 word piece for uh todd wood cdm.press creative destruction media uh on and the title
00:11:24.800
was quite simple and so germane to the things we're talking about the most important electoral battleground
00:11:29.180
in 2022 against global communism and it's really been proven out all the things that i alleged uh
00:11:34.660
and published a week or two before the election uh calling these people out well they went hog wild
00:11:39.560
and we're we're coming up on our on a hard break hold it right there because we are going to go but i
00:11:45.880
want to bring this back because you're on the tarmac you're down there for cpac you're down there for
00:11:50.820
a publicly uh known international conference that's that's been operation for decades and you're getting
00:11:57.520
detained because there's this power struggle between the duly elected president and then the
00:12:03.300
unelected or unelected appointed judiciary down in brazil that's controlled by the communists stick
00:12:10.120
with us we'll be right back here human events sunday special all right we're here back with matt
00:12:17.020
tierman when we left he was just telling us about his harrowing escape from brazil now matt was this
00:12:23.460
rio de janeiro or is this uh was brazilia brazilia this is brazilia you're the capital of brazil you're
00:12:28.600
harrowing escape that you're being interrogated by the guards you don't know if you're about to be
00:12:33.160
thrown into some kind of uh you know a tropical amazonian dungeon or or you know some such black
00:12:40.000
site you know where you're never heard from again where they uh you know they're they're they're
00:12:43.900
throwing leeches and tree frogs at you and you you will tell us the information but but we're trying
00:12:50.500
to understand this dynamic and i think this is tough for people to get um but but i think i that
00:12:54.940
to put it this way we don't necessarily have this in the u.s but we do have something called a deep
00:12:59.680
state well and and from from what you're telling me and tell me if i have this right it sounds as though
00:13:04.380
our deep state in the u.s is analogous to sort of this judiciary uh framework this apparatus in
00:13:13.080
brazil so they have the ability to force arrests to launch investigations it's different from the u.s
00:13:19.480
it's different from our system where doj is is more tied to the presidency they it's basically
00:13:24.280
they've got their own ability to launch this stuff and in doing so right guys keep in mind
00:13:29.180
we're talking about south america right this isn't exactly you know it isn't exactly new uh for for
00:13:34.240
down there um and so this is probably this is by the way what led to the problems in the 80s right
00:13:38.720
the same similar problems that led to uh everything that went on back then let's just put it that way
00:13:44.300
which is where bolsonar comes from and that uh because it's it's it's this interesting dynamic
00:13:50.780
where you have judges to your point who are supposed to be the ones that are upholding the law
00:13:57.060
that are actually the ones that are are doing away with the rule of law and they're basically it just
00:14:02.300
comes down to raw naked power so so you experienced this when you went there right who's going to hold
00:14:08.600
them accountable well the question i guess then becomes the people right and that's that's why that's what
00:14:12.960
you're seeing now and the military and we'll get to that uh because the brazilian constitution is
00:14:16.900
very interesting and i've kind of done some deep dives that is part of me so yeah walk us through
00:14:21.020
where you were but i do want to get to this this point about the military's role and it's obviously
00:14:25.140
a sensitive topic but when people need to understand though is that there is a constitutional role for
00:14:30.660
the military in brazil that we do not have reflected in the u.s so please matt continue so you know
00:14:37.100
going back to these judges the sort of out of control judiciary filled with political appointees by the
00:14:42.660
lula dilma temer crowd uh they wholesale have powers they're supposed to be separated powers right
00:14:49.260
you've got an executive branch a legislative branch and a judicial branch and the constitution does carve
00:14:53.820
out the roles in brazilian society but the judicial branch has taken it upon itself it's almost like
00:14:59.520
bismarck's uh famous saying politics is the art of the possible they just do it and they have access
00:15:05.480
to a federal law enforcement like an fbi a police force so they can investigate they can execute
00:15:12.020
obviously subpoena power uh they have access to all the information you know where they can get uh
00:15:16.880
open up people's computers and emails and social media platform uh communications uh they have the
00:15:22.720
ability to prosecute they have the ability to judge they have the ability to sentence i liken it to
00:15:27.620
imagine if in the u.s we had a body that had all the powers that eric holder adam schiff sonia
00:15:35.980
sotomayor uh state ags uh congressional committees all wrapped up into one where they can go after
00:15:42.740
their political enemies open them up expose them arrest them claim there's some sort of criminal
00:15:47.540
investigation and then sentence them and this is what they're doing and they really should not have
00:15:51.940
according to the constitutional uh structure this this all these mixed roles together because it is a
00:15:58.840
it is at odds with keeping uh the guardrails in place in a free society but they've been doing it
00:16:04.620
and bolsonaro has been fighting it but with the entire media complex in brazil in the bag for the
00:16:11.340
lula crowd for the judges even right now with the protest the mainstream media says one of two things
00:16:16.200
either it's not happening or the protesters are thugs who deserve to be punished by the law
00:16:20.880
insurrectionists wherever i heard that one oh no they're already right i read that about myself all
00:16:25.440
the time from brazilian lefties that oh you know uh bannon and tiermond and uh uh whoever else are
00:16:30.680
just trying to do an insurrection uh you know it's not even about bolsonaro and that's something that
00:16:35.300
bannon has been you know various duties told that to the washington post this is bigger than
00:16:38.800
bolsonaro this is about the brazilian constitution and the people have a right to march and if the judges
00:16:44.160
could they'd be arresting the protesters they're already finding the truckers who've been doing the
00:16:48.600
blockades uh they're uh trying to push through a piece of legislation again they don't even have the
00:16:53.860
right to write legislation but they're doing it and they try to push through if you get caught as a
00:16:59.320
protester and a protest organizer they will take your children away because you're leading them to
00:17:04.440
uh children to an unsafe uh childhood and unsafe environment now if you go to the protests and i'm
00:17:09.520
you know speaking to people on the ground there it's people wrapped in the brazilian flag praying the rosary
00:17:14.780
uh you know chanting in unison they're not violence they're not like antifa or you know marxist type
00:17:20.480
uh thugs who when they protest it always ends with heads uh you know head butting uh it's much more
00:17:25.940
more you know decentralized organized people are coming of their own volition from all over the
00:17:30.440
filling up every city we're seeing these we're seeing these images and and and and we're going
00:17:35.540
to place them here as as you and i are speaking but what what is the you know what is the what is
00:17:41.240
the path here or what are they calling for uh i've seen that the headline that bolsonaro and his party
00:17:47.340
have pushed for a potential annulment of the election but of course that to your point the court that
00:17:53.780
they're petitioning to is the same court that's controlled by this uh by these leftists i don't
00:17:59.680
think that's going to be an avenue that's there's a supreme court led by alexander de moreas and then
00:18:04.800
there's the supreme electoral court which is a subsidiary court which is tasked with administering
00:18:10.280
the election and overseeing it that's also led by alexander de moreas who is put together the this
00:18:16.040
cabal's enemies list and you know he's revoking passports he's uh he put out an interpol red notice on
00:18:21.960
one uh one brazilian journalist alando santos who's in exile in the usa he revoked his passport
00:18:26.620
he put on an interpol red notice which interpol declined to execute because it's frivolous and
00:18:31.600
it's obviously politically partisan uh it is absolutely gross overreach and this also includes
00:18:37.580
the compliance with the military audits non-transparent though you brought up an interesting
00:18:42.040
point valdemor de netto is the head of bolsonaro's party and he petitioned the court uh eight or ten days
00:18:48.020
ago and said we have proof that the machines from the later series uh do not count the votes correctly
00:18:54.740
we have proof of it and he proved it and we want to their push was not to know the whole election
00:18:59.980
but to annul the votes that went through those machines where there was obvious uh malfeasance you
00:19:05.080
know you prove that the machines from a certain technological series uh run of manufacture are fraudulent
00:19:11.480
that have communication external communication capability which is totally at odds with the entire
00:19:16.300
structure they supposedly tried to create and there's no paper ballots there's no auditable ballot
00:19:21.240
trail and that's by design it's a feature not a bug uh and he pushed to annul those votes which is
00:19:26.580
reasonable so what did moreas do he fined the party 22 million reais and put valdemor de netto the head
00:19:32.740
of the party on his fake news investigation uh criminal ensnarement list so now this guy's under and
00:19:37.820
this guy is not like bolsonaro he's not this sort of like populist firebrand he is an old guard
00:19:42.840
politician who's been around for generations leading political parties who's very well respected
00:19:47.080
has never had an allegation of impropriety levied against him and so now he is being uh threatened
00:19:52.460
with criminal investigation and prosecution by this court for doing his job as a party head and saying
00:19:57.160
okay we have proof of some of uh some machine issues uh and so they are doing everything they can
00:20:03.120
to sweep any of these concerns under the rug even to the point of the election certification supposed to
00:20:08.160
be december 19th as of yesterday and we're filming this a few days before this will air so as of uh
00:20:12.960
uh tuesday the 29th as of this week yeah this week they're pushing to move the certification of lula up
00:20:19.600
from uh december 19th to december 12th move it they're trying to rush the whole thing they're trying
00:20:24.320
to rush it because what do the protesters want right let's get let's let's get to that point because
00:20:29.080
what is the path forward so this this is what the courts are trying to do they're trying to rush
00:20:32.980
the whole thing got it the protesters i've seen videos right and i spoke with some some brazilian
00:20:38.040
journalists when i was in mexico i've seen videos of the protesters outside military braces protesting
00:20:44.060
and i said are they protesting the military and and what she explained to me said no no no no no
00:20:48.760
they're not protesting the military they're calling for the military to get involved what is that all
00:20:54.360
about so one of the reasons the locus of protest activity now it's happening in the main city squares
00:21:01.300
all over the country as far you know bahia recife obviously bello horizonte which is the fourth
00:21:06.560
biggest city after you know brazilia rio and sao paulo it's all over the country but it's now the
00:21:11.820
locus has sort of focused on for those hardcore who are there 24 7 now and day 30 or 31 is outside
00:21:18.420
military barracks because the military and the military commandants of these uh these forts these
00:21:23.480
military posts has said things like our job is to protect the brazilian constitution our job is to
00:21:29.600
protect the protesters who are engaging their rights their constitutionally endowed rights to
00:21:34.680
assemble to protest even as moreas is trying to have them arrested and have this thing forcefully
00:21:39.140
dispersed the military is saying no no no we have to uphold the brazilian constitution they've got a
00:21:43.560
constitutional right it's also important bolsonaro is not visible or vocal that is a good thing he should
00:21:49.200
not be this is not about him uh if you know the the election fraud is proven and they annul the
00:21:55.200
fraudulent votes he would be receded but it can't be him leading this charge because then the supreme
00:22:00.500
court will arrest him they're looking to do that already and say that you're trying to run a coup
00:22:04.580
uh at an insurrection the military has to act independently and they've got the tools to do so
00:22:09.200
article 142 of the brazilian constitution says that the brazilian military by virtue of the fact that it
00:22:16.020
is the institution society that is most governed by discipline hierarchy and order and never forget that on the
00:22:21.920
brazilian flag the mantra of the country is ordem y progresso order and progress we need order we need
00:22:27.340
rule of law thus we can progress as a society when the military takes that to heart they have a right
00:22:33.040
and they have sort of the right to in a situation where there's a separation of powers dispute as is
00:22:40.140
existing right now with this out of control judiciary at odds with the executive branch and even the
00:22:44.820
legislative branch at times usurping the legislature's role in pushing laws in the uh in the management
00:22:51.120
and administration of the election it is the military's uh uh sovereign right to come in and
00:22:56.340
adjudicate this and to enforce the constitute constitutional law to clean up the mess because
00:23:02.380
that is something we've talked about in the past we talked about with poland and hungary with post
00:23:05.720
communist judges if you've got a judiciary that is totally out of compliance with rule of law and
00:23:11.200
the constitution who is the one who is going to enforce that in theory it would be the judiciary but if
00:23:16.200
they are a self-dealing conspiratorial cabal as this judiciary is of political appointees who've
00:23:21.420
done everything they can to fix the chessboard by the way there's a law on brazil's books it's a very
00:23:25.880
important law if you are a convicted felon you cannot run for office lula was convicted three courts
00:23:32.280
12 charges 19 judges across these three courts these panels of judges unanimously convicted him to 12
00:23:40.620
years in prison this court the supreme court his appointees his his team's appointees dilman temer
00:23:47.180
let him out of jail they expunged his record annulled and vacated all the judgments and sentencing
00:23:53.480
against him so that he could have a clean record and then run the criminal lula brought out of jail
00:24:00.120
matt we're going to our next break i said we're going to get to china we will we will as we come up
00:24:05.020
but we need to break down everything that happened in brazil so i want to get into this next and we're
00:24:11.200
going to talk about specifically what the role of the military will be stand by
00:24:14.620
and we're back matt tierman the people of china are experiencing what i call a slave revolt
00:24:24.580
they're fighting back against the power the ccp the same way they did in tiananmen square
00:24:30.480
the same way they did in 1989 which actually was predicated by the death of a former party leader
00:24:37.320
back then it was hu yaobang today a new party leader has died his name is jiang zemin he was
00:24:44.600
involved in those crackdowns don't get it don't get it uh don't get don't be don't be uh don't
00:24:51.680
whitewash what happened but at the same time all right there is a real possibility that those people
00:24:58.200
those brave people who know the stakes in china shanghai beijing even in the city of wuhan itself
00:25:04.040
where this all started actually have the ability to push back on their regime but but matt what
00:25:09.720
you're telling me down in brazil with the brave patriots of brazil where they are going is not
00:25:15.860
necessarily just into the streets because they're also going to the military barracks and they're
00:25:20.420
calling for the military to get involved break us down now you know when you when i hear you know
00:25:25.180
the brazilian military is getting involved i mean that conjures up all sorts of images about you
00:25:29.680
know military military military america pinochet and helicopters and memes and all that but but but
00:25:36.380
there is actually a constitutional role for the military and i think that a lot of americans
00:25:41.060
are are ignorant of that you're you're you've gone full native in the amazon so tell us tell us what
00:25:48.400
the role constitutionally of the brazilian military is when it comes to elections well keep in mind that and
00:25:54.220
this is actually a very interesting point that the lula party heads like lula like dilma one of the
00:26:00.000
things they said over the last 10 years when they would give their own you know forums and speeches
00:26:04.520
uh to their people and talk to their sympathetic media is they said their big regret when they did
00:26:09.720
not run government for a dozen years under lula dilma and temer is that they did not defang
00:26:15.340
defenestrate the media i'm sorry the media the military uh the media is their uh their handmaidens
00:26:21.180
someday someday the media the media is you know it's great to get into the media because it's
00:26:26.000
almost like communist state-owned enterprise the mainstream media there under dilma and lula
00:26:29.380
did great they got straight taxpayer money they're totally in the bag which is why they cover the
00:26:34.100
protest this way either memory holding it with the revolution will not be televised or by calling the
00:26:39.000
protesters thugs by the way this is this is what what what what law and justice got right in poland
00:26:44.500
is when they got it when they got in and i remember when you and i were there in warsaw when they got in
00:26:49.060
they replaced the media they said no way and then they got me and you on air they got attacked uh
00:26:55.520
when every party when they would take over state media say you know like the bbc in the uk or the
00:27:00.580
cbc in canada well poland has tbp poland television and it was a you know during the presidential run of
00:27:06.520
duda he didn't even get on air they would just put the incumbent their guy on and then of course peace
00:27:11.460
wins law and justice wins and then they flipped the script and said no we're putting out people in and
00:27:15.720
then washington post rule of laws under attack uh law and justice attacks a free press this is state
00:27:20.860
media this is you know it's government appointees what they should keep their opposition running
00:27:24.760
propaganda against them uh so in brazil you've got a private sector media what's that brilliant move
00:27:30.720
absolutely yeah well in brazil you've got a private sector media that is so hard left in the bag for lula
00:27:35.980
and that people don't talk about how much money they made during lula and dilma's terms and how they're
00:27:40.760
well positioned to do so again should he come in that doesn't get reported on near enough and then
00:27:46.380
the the independent right-wing media like joven pan which would be like a brazilian fox news
00:27:50.620
moreas goes and censors them finds them restricts their ability to communicate in social media de
00:27:56.440
platforms them uh so it's it's quite a all hands on deck from the left using every force they can
00:28:01.900
to censor and obfuscate the truth we talked about blocking out the military audit of the ballot machines
00:28:07.200
and the transparency but the military's got a big role to play as we discussed with article 142 in
00:28:11.700
the constitution and people are begging for it they want it and i think the military does end up acting
00:28:16.880
because they're students of the history general martin morale uh who tweeted a couple fridays ago that
00:28:23.280
the supreme court is eviscerating the constitution i'm paraphrasing when he says something that publicly
00:28:29.400
a highly respected military leader uh that is not a unilateral act that was obviously discussed at the
00:28:34.880
highest realms of the military hierarchy yesterday a we're talking on monday the 29th earlier this week
00:28:41.380
uh there was a open letter sent to the highest ranking general sort of the joint chiefs of staff
00:28:48.120
equivalent by 170 high-ranking officers that would report to the uh to the to the high guard and they
00:28:55.480
said three points one the court has breached its uh its constitutional abilities by far the media is
00:29:01.980
totally in the bag and protesting is absolutely a right of brazilian citizens so now the highest
00:29:06.900
ranking officers are appealing to the equivalent of the joint chiefs the leadership uh of the military
00:29:12.000
to take action and these these military men uh are not you know uh ignorant of history uh one of them
00:29:18.680
tweeted the other day this was the 77th anniversary of 1935 november 25th or 26 19 19 uh 1935
00:29:26.220
where brazilians fought away a communist insurgency they so them suggesting this is pretty big symbology
00:29:33.600
you know and he said we're on guard we will not let communists take over of brazil also important to
00:29:39.000
note bolsonaro was a career military man while lula was a career criminal and was in bed with narco
00:29:44.520
traficantes uh and uh marxist revolutionaries who are the equivalent of our weather underground you know
00:29:50.680
which by the way and by the way let me you know and we had um you know we had we had darren beady on
00:29:56.080
uh a couple of weeks ago and we were talking about the cartels and we talked about the fact
00:30:00.340
that the ccp has their cartels the cia has their cartels uh you've got cartels that are double dealing
00:30:07.000
you have people out there he had the great line that went hyper viral when he said you know what's
00:30:11.340
the purpose of the dea the purpose of the dea is to go after the cartels that have fallen out of favor
00:30:16.600
with the cia right and so it because you have this massive underworld uh trafficking operation these
00:30:23.400
money laundering operations this dirty money that they're able to use that's never tracked that's
00:30:28.480
off ever this is where by the way you get your your ftx type operations your tether type opera type
00:30:33.720
operations because this is how the overworld leaders that we're seeing now are able to manipulate
00:30:40.100
things that we can see like a lula election or other uprisings in parts of the world that they're
00:30:46.500
trying to control that all of these different pieces on the chessboard are being moved but it
00:30:50.780
is three-dimensional because you have pieces that are above and you have peace you have levels that
00:30:54.400
are above and levels that are below and so one of the big one of the big uh drivers in all of this
00:31:01.580
is that the narco terrorists they don't want to just be in business in mexico they don't just want
00:31:05.840
to be in business in venezuela and colombia they want to get into brazil that's what this is about in a
00:31:10.080
huge way yeah well it's also about you know we talked about uh china china is very interested in
00:31:15.840
obviously having their bulwarks uh geopolitically all over the world so they can continue their
00:31:20.140
you know their leadership in marxist expansion and uh imperial hegemony and brazil is incredibly
00:31:26.180
one belt one road this is exactly what this is the one belt run road system they want to drive that
00:31:30.240
straight through south america straight through latin america right up to our border where they're
00:31:33.980
already flooding fentanyl across and we had the border battle special all about this we said people kept
00:31:38.580
pointing back they said this is china right china's china is in all this china by the way he's also
00:31:43.220
underwriting the war in ukraine right now with russia of course we understand they're russia's
00:31:47.240
only real lasting trade partner they kind of in many ways they have a massive leverage over russia now
00:31:53.100
and so you know all roads lead back to beijing and that's why when you're seeing the slave revolt
00:31:59.340
in the heart of the empire all the way across the empire in in china that is why this is so massive
00:32:06.680
because the money of the chinese party the chinese communist party has been generating throughout their
00:32:11.480
dirty deal with the west that goes back to scrowcroft and and george hw bush in the 1980s
00:32:17.640
whom we could have pushed the ccp over with a feather right they decided to construct this system
00:32:22.300
of globalism well the chinese are responding with their own version of it called one belt one road
00:32:27.780
and that's their attempt to essentially rest the reins from the west from the party of davos and they're
00:32:34.020
and they're using places like brazil brazil is one of the battlefronts of this and so the money
00:32:38.900
that should have been going into at least you'd think at least for the conditions of the people
00:32:42.780
that are living in china right which have increased and i'm not going to say they haven't but you know
00:32:46.840
certainly for the times of chairman mao when everybody's starving and dying and and eating
00:32:50.360
their own children in some in some areas well now you've got now you've got money that's being spent
00:32:55.960
all around the world this is the revolt because there's they're putting money to back these people
00:33:00.480
like lula to back these these narco terrorists narco cartels now the people of china say where's our
00:33:06.060
peace why are our living conditions becoming so fraught and destroyed why have you not done well
00:33:11.460
for us you get people burning alive in the xinjiang massacre right the xinjiang massacre of the of the
00:33:16.920
apartment building there with the videos heart-wrenching videos of people burning alive women children
00:33:21.240
uh the uyghurs that are inside this building as well we don't even know the full the full scope of who
00:33:26.060
died there brazil is a battlefront in all of in all of these geopolitical forces and matt i i commend you
00:33:33.020
for your work by the way putting this all together if brazil falls if lula is seated then china will
00:33:39.440
basically have total control over south america the resources the population the geopolitical uh
00:33:46.900
placement of south america to our south that'll you know that is their entry point of control of this
00:33:54.820
side of the world of this hemisphere you know better than anyone they're playing a long game
00:33:58.840
and the working with the marxists of uh of the south america the sao paulo forum the chavez's and
00:34:05.260
maduro's and morales's uh brazil was the last hold down steve bannon and i you know we do his show all the
00:34:11.000
time you know talks about the evangelical movement the catholics and the christian evangelicals the brazil
00:34:16.520
still has a very large and growing population of evangelical fervor and these are people who believe
00:34:23.340
in god and rule of law on earth and this is obviously the enemy of global communism mal was
00:34:30.040
the one who said i think it was mal right he said religion is the opiate of the masses it's why they
00:34:34.400
poland uh that was marx okay uh well mal certainly you know banning religion and uh and and really
00:34:41.580
making it your religion in communism is the state it always is and that's why poland was such an
00:34:46.700
interesting holdout because after so many generations of imperialism the repository of social
00:34:50.960
and structural values of society was in the church so it was much harder for poles uh to be uh beaten
00:34:57.500
down the way some others behind the iron curtain were by the soviet encroachment in their society
00:35:02.100
when they became totally uh in hock to the far-off mandarins of moscow uh but this is the same thing
00:35:07.960
in brazil brazil is this bulwark and that's why you're seeing this protest movement and people stand
00:35:12.420
with boston arrow i have no doubt that he won and let's go back to this sort of electoral mechanics
00:35:17.040
you go back uh 10 years or so when boston arrow was a congressman uh in the lower house the chamber
00:35:23.200
of deputies it's sort of like our house of representatives the way there's an upper house
00:35:26.520
and lower house legislation starts in the lower house he pushed a bill for auditable paper ballots
00:35:32.820
paper ballots that are alongside the machines so you have a paper ballot printout that can then be
00:35:38.720
audited later on and this legislation he spearheaded uh was taken up in congress and it passed
00:35:44.500
dilma was president at the time she vetoed it citing and this is just so hilarious almost and
00:35:50.020
it's sort of farce uh she cited well printers are expensive we don't want to have to pay for
00:35:54.640
printers in every polling site when has a socialist ever cited uh you know fiscal fiscal expenditure
00:36:00.820
as a barrier to pushing anything found fiscal conservatives coming up on our last break real
00:36:07.820
real quick to hold that thought because i want to bring i want to get into this i want to get into
00:36:12.840
what happens i want to get into what happens should brazil fall come right back yes
00:36:18.780
ladies and gentlemen we're back here with matt tierman we're discussing
00:36:25.100
the grave consequences of what should happen if brazil falls to communism if brazil falls under the
00:36:33.040
influence of the chinese communist party because that is what's at stake here our own our own backyard
00:36:39.660
our own hemisphere and let me just say that we had the ability we the way it should work by the way
00:36:45.340
is that the united states the free people of the united states the patriots of america should be
00:36:50.280
working in concert with the patriots of mexico the patriots of brazil to create a robust economic
00:36:57.280
and strategic partnership in our in our hemisphere i'm not talking about a you know an american union or
00:37:04.240
anything like this no no no i'm talking about free people and free countries working together
00:37:09.660
from the point of mutual benefit so that we can we can sell to them so that we have manufacturing in
00:37:16.500
our areas and so that we have strategic diplomatic and national security that's what we need and the
00:37:22.680
ccp and the russians and iran whoever else is trying to get into our hemisphere i'm full monroe
00:37:27.100
doctrine on that call me a neocon if you want but i'm but if you're trying to get into our backyard i say
00:37:31.480
no mas matt walk us through again these stakes okay so you know it's i want to close the loop on
00:37:38.380
this uh this uh congressional uh legislation that boston narrow uh took up he pushed for a bill it
00:37:44.740
was passed by congress to create paper balloting alongside the machine so that you'd have an audit
00:37:49.220
trail so you could do an audit should there be allegations of impropriety common sense right
00:37:53.900
election integrity who's not for election integrity well we know who's not for election integrity those who
00:37:57.760
are looking to steal elections uh dilma vetoed uh this bill it got sent back to the congress to the
00:38:05.320
lower house and they overrode the veto that is very rare to happen in brazilian congressional politics
00:38:12.700
uh for a bill to have a veto override that way because you have to get a super majority and the
00:38:18.420
congress there this is not you know a two-party system like we have in the u.s republicans and dems
00:38:22.900
this is very it's more almost parliamentary there's many parties they coalition it's fractured
00:38:28.220
but they overrode dilma's veto and then the supreme court struck it down under get this privacy concerns
00:38:36.580
any fig leaf which they could use to get rid of something that would allow an auditable ballot trail
00:38:42.920
and when jason and i and when we were in brazil and we went to some of these protests that were going
00:38:47.240
on then people were protesting uh about exactly this there were chants in brazilia on that sunday ahead
00:38:53.300
of the freedom march their independence day give us paper ballots give us auditable ballots and the
00:38:58.280
supreme court even suggesting that the election might not be clean by even saying we want paper ballots
00:39:04.540
they would sanction those journalists those activists and those politicians who would push for
00:39:09.600
something as common sense to election integrity as a paper ballot backup an auditable ballot trail so you
00:39:15.740
know that that's that's the league we know what they are what they want when people like i said
00:39:21.620
earlier when people tell you who they are believe them when lula da silva's transition head monica
00:39:26.420
valenti who was running the sao palo forum in brazil says we need to protect brazilian democracy like we
00:39:32.560
have to protect maduro's democracy in venezuela to these people maduro in venezuela is running a democracy
00:39:39.160
this is what this is the stakes they will turn brazil within 12 to 24 months should lula be seated
00:39:45.580
into venezuela it will the bulwark of democracy in the largest country in latin america will be gone
00:39:52.160
and losing it i don't know how hard it would be what feasibility there would be to go back to a
00:39:59.480
democratic system for a country that produces one-sixth of the world's food the basic inputs of
00:40:06.560
wheat and corn and barley uh the heavy the heavy uh heavy natural resources the uh the industrial
00:40:12.460
components oil gas tin cobalt copper brazil is a heavyweight player it's why china wants it under
00:40:20.720
their dominion if lula gets seated brazil is a chinese vassal and that should frighten everybody
00:40:27.420
in this hemisphere especially in the northern hemisphere where we supposedly have free nations
00:40:31.640
of like u.s and canada well let's let's talk about that because you know as as you and i said here in
00:40:37.140
the united states we're dealing with all of these these geopolitical issues uh we don't have the
00:40:42.480
government that we wish we did right we don't even have a serious government we don't even have a
00:40:46.940
president who knows what time of day it is but but what should right let's let's walk through what
00:40:53.280
should the american response to this be and rather than getting into you know which candidate or this
00:40:59.100
candidate yeah it's not important but let's get into let's get into the idea of what policy should we be
00:41:05.900
focused on that both both benefits by the way our geostrategic interests but also the interests and
00:41:13.620
and keep in mind you know america first movement here all right that benefits the people that live
00:41:18.260
within the united states why should americans care why should america you know what was it you made a
00:41:22.700
good point you made a good point when and this is something i always say you know it's very adam
00:41:26.040
smithian uh nations that trade together nations that bring their comparative advantages to the table
00:41:31.140
whether it's industrial output manufacturing versus agricultural output those nations that it that
00:41:36.180
unilaterally pursue their best interest you know not multilateralism not the eu with france and germany
00:41:41.940
dictating to 28 other member nations exactly what their policy should be whether it's on borders
00:41:46.120
immigration economics trade and ag policy whatever uh but unilaterally best interest policy of a
00:41:52.860
nation state it always leads to let's trade with our neighbors with our distant neighbors because nations
00:41:59.680
that trade together don't go to war nations that trade together that get the best of each other's
00:42:04.300
economies and peoples and transfer knowledge culture and trade there's a pax there was what you call
00:42:11.140
in the pax americana in the 20th century there is a stabilization it's a stabilizing force and brazil
00:42:17.200
given the strength of its economy and its natural resource wealth do we want to trade with them or do we
00:42:22.560
want china to control their oil and gas their uh their rare earth minerals like they're doing in africa
00:42:28.320
that is antithetical to our best interests to the american interest forget globalist interest just the
00:42:34.420
american interest the issue we have is that we've got a state department an executive branch that
00:42:40.500
executive branch joe biden moments after the final tabulation drop that looked absolutely fishy
00:42:46.300
beyond compare when bolsonaro both in the first round and the second round was way up early and then
00:42:50.880
every ballot drop therein as if a switch was flipped went 60 40 or 55 45 one way until they both
00:42:57.220
overlapped and lula took the lead at 66 percent of precinct reporting two-thirds uh biden moments after
00:43:04.360
the last ballot drop said uh tweeted uh congrats to lula da silva on your fair your win in this fair
00:43:10.140
free incredible election he thinks the lady don't protest too much how does he know it's fair free
00:43:14.280
incredible one minute after the last ballot drop one minute so the fix was in we've got a globalist
00:43:19.800
uh uh political class that is in the in the in the seat of power now in washington uh the eu is the
00:43:26.860
same way highly globalist the globalists are the useful idiots of the communists they're the useful
00:43:31.620
idiots of the soviets and they're useful idiots of the chinese now whether it's the world economic
00:43:35.640
forum or the un or the eu in brussels or washington so instead of looking out for our best interest what
00:43:43.000
we have is last year william burns the cia chief was sent down to uh finger wag at boston arrow do
00:43:48.800
not create any election issues as if to say you know don't say anything when your election is stolen
00:43:53.640
from you uh and then uh after the election they said they were going to after the election second
00:43:58.280
round october 30th they said they were going to send jake sullivan down uh and that got some press
00:44:02.580
tucker and i talked about it so they kiboshed that and now it looks like as they're trying to push
00:44:06.620
the certification up a week ahead of potential military engagement over this issue uh now they're
00:44:12.140
going to send jake sullivan down again to help with the transition i don't know what compelling
00:44:16.060
interest there is for the american government to help with the lula to silver or any transition
00:44:19.920
well i'm old enough to remember you know when bernie sanders and the the left was railing against
00:44:24.560
the cia's engagement in latin american elections in the 1970s so you know where is the uh where where
00:44:31.740
where are the dogs barking here like this this doesn't make any compelling sense unless you know
00:44:36.800
what their real interest is which is globalists tying together with china uh working together in
00:44:42.620
breaking down sovereign borders well matt let me ask you this then you know and and you you made you
00:44:47.620
made a bold prediction on on uh on war room pandemic and steve bannon's war room about the military in
00:44:54.420
brazil do you believe that the military will get involved i do based on the signals that some of
00:45:01.600
these generals have sent based on the 170 the last time there was an open letter written to military
00:45:06.960
high command from the from the officers was 1954 when there was also uh the destabilized brazil and
00:45:13.900
the military came in uh the military if they do not act they do are students of latin american
00:45:19.900
communism of global communism of the chinese sovereignty sale of lula and dilma it was also
00:45:25.120
them that helped expose lula and dilma in 2012 led to street protests and convictions if they don't
00:45:31.040
get involved it's venezuela 2000 when chavez goes gotten uh took control what happened to the military
00:45:37.200
that tried to defend venezuela they end up gulagged so if they don't defend the sovereignty of brazil
00:45:42.920
against this illegal election this uh out of out of uh control supreme court that's eviscerating the
00:45:48.900
constitution they will be signing their own death warrant they will be the first ones going to the gulag
00:45:53.520
so i think that compelling self-interest is such that they will be forced to act no because they know
00:45:59.840
it's just a matter of time before they're next let's let's put it this way folks communist takeovers
00:46:05.220
all follow the exact same playbook first you get your guys in power and then you start cleaning house
00:46:12.220
and that's exactly by the way what xi jinping did when it came to these rivals when it came to everybody
00:46:17.540
else that was going against him and there were a lot of a lot of these you know uh china experts out
00:46:22.140
there that uh i disagreed with and i took stances against and i said you know they said she's about to
00:46:27.140
fall and she won't be named chairman i said he is systematically going through and picking off his
00:46:32.040
rivals one by one he's putting them on television he's going he's locking them all up uh he's replacing
00:46:38.240
the judiciary which is exactly what you're talking about happened here in brazil and he's setting
00:46:42.040
himself up to be chairman for life and if you don't see that then you haven't been paying attention
00:46:45.900
and you're just wish casting and that's not what we do here and so it's amazing to see the people rise up
00:46:51.020
and and i'm going to put and i'm not going to discount that because what we're seeing here
00:46:55.300
is people in china the slave revolt of china we're seeing the patriots of brazil we are seeing this
00:47:03.180
force for national sovereignty true national sovereignty take place across the entire world
00:47:10.980
last minute matt tierman well as i said in my cdm.press piece really doing a deep dive into the
00:47:16.900
brazilian judiciary and their illegal actions against journalists and politicos uh the brazilian
00:47:22.560
people do not want their grandchildren to be speaking mandarin they know the stakes they will
00:47:26.880
not be leaving the streets the fact that lula was a convicted criminal they are chanting we will not be
00:47:31.740
led by a criminal they know what the court did letting him out expunging his record totally illegal
00:47:37.660
and at odds with the constitution and the constitution says if something like this happens it's the
00:47:41.960
military's role to restore order that is the disciplined hierarchical based social institution
00:47:47.880
whose job it is and i certainly hope they act matt tierman where can people go to follow you where
00:47:53.600
can people get your coordinates uh well at matthew terramont m-a-t-t-h-e-w-t-y-r-m-a-n-d
00:47:59.500
getter twitter social media frequently on with you and steve on war room occasionally uh nowadays can
00:48:05.800
talk to uh tucker about brazil it's great that he's uh shown interest in this he did a great for more
