Eduardo Bolsonaro is the son of the former president of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who was elected to the US House of Representatives in an election that many would call as shady as the craziness that we were seeing in the aftermath of the impeachment of his father, Dilma Rousseff. In this episode, Eduardo and I discuss the similarities between the election and the protests that took place in the streets of Brazil in the 1970s and the current protests that are taking place in Brazil today. We also talk about the parallels between the protests and the election of Eduardo's father, and the recent election of a man who is running for president.

00:02:32.000Obviously, we're in times of crazy inflation.
00:02:35.000The economy is really going crazy in a not-so-awesome way.
00:02:39.000We're on the brink of World War III with Russia.
00:02:43.000Gold, silver, those tangible assets and precious metals may be an awesome way to hedge against some of that insanity historically.

00:02:57.000We want to make sure that those guys know the Don Jr.
00:03:00.000part's important. We want to make sure they know.

00:03:38.000We don't want to support the guys that take your hard-earned money and go give it to woke corporations and feed a woke BS agenda.
00:04:02.000Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of the former president of Brazil, in an election that many would call as shady as the craziness that we were seeing here.
00:05:40.000The popularity of your father, like mine, from real people, the working class, through the roof.
00:05:46.000You didn't see a single rally for the other side.
00:05:50.000You didn't see a single person show up for these things.
00:05:54.000And yet, they always managed to pull off the win by just the right amount needed.
00:05:59.000Tell me what's going on, because I want to talk about the systems as well, because it seems almost like we're going through the same thing at the same time against a common enemy, which is sort of this wave of socialism, Marxism, that's pushing.
00:06:14.000And I see even... Frankly, the U.S. helping Lula, who's siding with China, and I'm wondering what's going on.
00:06:21.000This is a crazy thing. I have to ask you, why the Biden administration is so excited to do conversation, dialogues, and be together with the Lula administration?
00:06:30.000When everybody knows that Lula is going to be much more closer to China and other countries that actually are your enemies and enemies of the free speech, enemies of the freedom and all of that.
00:06:39.000It's just crazy. I think it's a thing that I don't know how to explain that because usually what people would expect It doesn't matter here in the U.S. if you are left-wing or right-wing.
00:06:54.000I know how proud you are all the time with the American flag.
00:06:59.000And then you are supporting someone that will be, like, not together with you.
00:07:02.000Well, listen, the American flag thing, right?
00:07:05.000I mean, in America today, it's, like, controversial.
00:07:10.000I mean, that's like crazy. Now, I know Brazil also has a very patriotic mindset.
00:07:14.000I mean, we just got out of the World Cup and you see the support.
00:07:16.000Has that gotten there yet where, even within Brazil, if you were waving the Brazilian flag that people would say, what's wrong with this guy?
00:07:22.000Because I see more Ukrainian flags in America than I do American flags.
00:07:27.000Maybe not here in Florida, but certainly when I'm up north in New York.
00:07:30.000It's the same thing. The same thing happens in Brazil.
00:07:33.000First... We are not a user to have the Brazilian flag everywhere.
00:07:37.000I have to talk a little bit about that.
00:07:39.000My father, you have a video of him coming here in the U.S. for the first time, I guess, in 2017 or 2018.
00:07:45.000He did a video in front of a house in Miami with the American flag talking that, see, here in the U.S., everybody's proud about their countries.
00:07:53.000And we don't have that in Brazil. Okay?
00:07:55.000So there's not a nationalistic pride in Brazil?
00:08:14.000They want to, you know, globalization, let's bring everybody to our country, but they don't have the immigrants in front of their houses, you know.
00:08:23.000I remember when I was in the Students' Action Summit with Charlie Kirk, I was talking to the audience that You have more responsibility here in the U.S. because all the Latin America, and for sure Brazil, we copy what happened here.
00:08:39.000So imagine something that you have here, like a transgender situation, you know, this thing about changing the sex, neutral pronouns.
00:08:47.000First here, then, now we're having Brazil.
00:08:49.000Okay, so the U.S. is leading on that, but are there children?
00:08:54.000Same thing, where children without parental consent are being sort of pushed by, whether it's teachers, someone...
00:09:01.000Who's an authority figure is pushing this sort of change your sex at...
00:09:05.000100%. The gender ideology is everywhere in the schools and this week in Brazil we just came up on the news that you have one to two hundred kids of less than twelve years old doing the synergy to change the sex.
00:09:22.000Well, the number is probably a lot higher in the U.S., but that's even happening.
00:09:25.000Because, I mean, I still think of Brazil, you know, there's a macho culture.
00:09:30.000I mean, all that things that you're not allowed to have here anymore, right?
00:09:32.000I mean, you know, if I'm a male, you must eat soy, you must have a testosterone below 100, you must be weak.
00:09:56.000Oh, with less guns, it will be easier to control.
00:09:59.000You know, the criminals will have less opportunities to buy a gun in the illegal market.
00:10:04.000No, no, that's wrong. But the notion of, you know, I don't want to call it maybe the Second Amendment, because that's the U.S., but there is sort of a strong affinity towards self-defense in Brazil, as well as gun ownership.
00:10:17.000And that's being attacked by the left as well, right?
00:10:20.000Sure. With my father, we changed some of the presidential decrees and some of the laws about the guns to give more access to the people.
00:10:28.000You still have a lot of bureaucracy, and it's very expensive.
00:10:33.000I can tell you easily, we more than double-sized the Brazilian market.
00:10:37.000Now we have, for us, it's a great step.
00:10:39.000We have more than one million shooters registered in Brazil.
00:10:42.000We're registering in the army, the shooters.
00:10:45.000So it's a market that was, you know, to buy an AR, there was a line of at least four to six months, at least, until you get the chance to buy an AR in Brazil.
00:10:54.000We just started with a national production of AR. And on the other side, if you look for, for example, the murder rate, It came down, it's dropped for more than 34% less.
00:11:29.000Show similar statistics here in America, in places where there's high gun ownership, and yet there's a constant attack.
00:11:36.000The highest crime rates are in those areas with the strictest gun laws and the places that make access much harder, and yet they continue to push that agenda.
00:11:44.000It's logical, because the criminal is someone that thinks.
00:11:48.000Before he does his crime, he looks for the risks and where he has the better chance to commit his crime, to rob or whatever.
00:11:56.000So, if he thinks that you have a gun at home, he's not going to go together.
00:12:17.000Do you think Uruguay, they have a better culture than us, Brazilians?
00:12:20.000Yeah. Because Uruguay, proportionally, is where you have more guns per people in Latin America.
00:12:25.000And the rate of the murders is going down much, much, much better than Brazil.
00:12:30.000Well, Latin America is an interesting example because I know there are countries, some of your bordering countries, obviously Brazil is a huge country within, but some of your bordering countries also have very strict You know, anti-gun laws.
00:12:41.000And their crime rates are through the roof.
00:12:43.000You know, if you want to go a little bit further north, it's kind of a disaster.
00:12:47.000And you have a lot of countries that you can...
00:12:50.000You have examples about more guns, legal guns, I mean.
00:12:56.000Less crimes, like US, Switzerland, Paraguay.
00:13:00.000Paraguay, they have very good murder rates, and it's very flexible, you know, the selling of guns.
00:13:06.000The main problem of Paraguay is on their border with...
00:13:10.000Yeah, so the statistics are skewed because there's a border war, or whatever it may be, but that's not necessarily exemplary of what's going on within the population in terms of actual gun violence.
00:13:33.000This is natural. What they try to do is put unnatural things...
00:13:38.000For example, the gun control law that we have in Brazil is from 2003.
00:13:43.000During the approvation in the Congress of this bill, it was one of the hugest corruption scandals, where the government of Lula da Silva, when he was president for the first time, they were doing a monthly payment for representatives and senators to approve all of the bills of the government, of the administration at that time.
00:14:05.000One of these bills is the gun control.
00:14:09.000So in Brazil, it's very hard to have a gun.
00:14:11.000They slip it right in. They gain their control.
00:14:14.000So you see a similar sort of attack on masculinity, even in Brazil, which again, I think of just, you know, maybe the example of macho culture, but they're trying to eliminate that.
00:14:57.000I have a neighborhood that voted for Lula and I said, okay, man, if someone goes to his house and he comes to my house, I will not help him.
00:15:03.000So, you know, just so the viewership understands if they don't...
00:15:06.000I mean, you're one of the most popular congressmen in Brazil.
00:15:11.000As per votes, that's not just me saying that because I like it, that's actual fact.
00:15:15.000But you also have a law enforcement background.
00:15:50.000You know, it's almost as though there's no truth to it whatsoever, and yet people are bombarded with it so much on their day that it's an attempt to change their views on it.
00:15:59.000And it's probably been pretty effective.
00:16:03.000Yes. And this meeting strategy, I mean, if you look that all the time, all the time, all the time, your brain naturally gets used with that.
00:16:11.000He thinks it's common, and it's changed your priorities.
00:16:15.000If I watch CNN for a couple days just to see what the...
00:17:26.000In Brazil, it's not like all of the Congress, which you're a part of, but you have to get together.
00:17:32.000One judge can say, you know what, I don't like what he did, he's in jail.
00:17:35.000Yes. Talk about that, because that's scary.
00:17:38.000I don't know how you function in a system where one person who can be very biased can just decide, you know what, I don't like what he said, or didn't say, or even that he was present.
00:17:48.000Your father's actually been very quiet.
00:20:00.000The FBI said there's something there, even if they leaked it to the New York Times, who writes an article that they used to then use as the justification to start something.
00:20:09.000So, you know, has power sort of shifted to these people?
00:24:04.000They're going to own, whether it's your agriculture, a huge component of what's going on right now in the world is going to be controlling that agricultural economy.
00:24:11.000They have billions of people they need to feed in.
00:24:12.000But that the U.S. is sort of, oh, no, it's wonderful.
00:24:15.000They're going to have those relationships.
00:24:17.000You're supporting the guys that are going to help support literally what I would say would be our largest geopolitical enemy in the world.
00:24:23.000And it feels like... We're contributing to our own demise under The fake guise of, oh, democracy, because it has nothing to do with it.
00:24:33.000And Lula, I don't believe, believes in any of those things.
00:24:36.000Certainly China doesn't, as evidenced by that.
00:24:38.000And yet, the American press, the Democrats in power, have no interest calling out sort of the lack of democracy in China.
00:24:46.000You know, it's fine as long as we're getting a widget for one cent cheaper.
00:24:50.000It doesn't matter if they put the Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps over there and slave labor and all these things.
00:24:56.000You know, America, corporate America, corporate media, very silent.
00:25:01.000And that we would enable them to get that kind of foothold.
00:25:04.000You see the same in Mexico, by the way, where China is coming in and they can talk about getting into the cellular networks.
00:25:09.000That's not going to come over to the United States in time.
00:25:22.000You have a Republican Party, you have freedom, at least now, not that much, but you still have, you know, kind of freedom on the internet, you have Heritage Foundation, you have, you know, you have other players and solid tools to fight back against that.
00:25:40.000That's why if you kill Bolsonaro, if you take him out of the game, there is no one, there's no leadership to come again and lead this movement.
00:26:32.000For example, when they censorship a congressman like me, all the others will think like, man, if the son of the president, he can't go to the internet and talk whatever he wants.
00:26:42.000And by our constitution, I have immunity.
00:26:47.000In our Constitution, I have the Article 51 where it's written that congressmen and senators, they can abide their opinion votes and words, whatever.
00:26:57.000No punishment for them because of that.
00:26:59.000But if they start to censor me because of that, imagine all the others, you know, regular citizens.
00:27:03.000Well, I think that's the idea. You can say what you want, but if they copy what you say, are they going to jail?
00:28:20.000So are they jailing your father's supporters, the people who...
00:28:23.000And again, we have to make the distinction.
00:28:25.000I don't think we can say, if you are a violent protester, it's for good cause.
00:28:28.000We have to draw a line and have that sort of level of decency.
00:28:32.000But are there people that were peaceful, that were protesting, that were thrown in jail?
00:28:36.000And when everything happened in Brazil, it was January 8th, Hundreds and hundreds of people went to the police station, you know, to the procediment.
00:28:45.000But as you had a bunch of people, it took a couple of days to do that.
00:28:50.000And during this couple of days, you had, like, kids inside of this mess.
00:28:54.000You had, like, women, older people, like, needing going to the hospital and all of that.
00:28:59.000And my question is, usually the left-wing, they protect so much a drug dealer, for example.
00:29:06.000Happened with a drug dealer or a murder, but it's happening with people that were there and you're right like well We never expect that something like that would happen people that were camping in front of the military headquarters and They just don't know that things were happening now.
00:29:20.000They're facing a process They are sued in a court some of them they are in jail nowadays And it's like Iran other day I saw news from Iran like more than 1,000 people going to the jail and I said man What a mess in Iran and now is what a mess in Brazil Because, okay, people who break everything, we will not defend this kind of people.
00:29:40.000Okay, they have to face a judge and be responsible about their behavior.
00:29:47.000And I think we saw during what the media dubbed the Summer of Love in 2020, where Antifa...
00:29:53.000Burned down cities. Literally took over, I mean, took over blocks of cities, controlled them, destroyed businesses, looting, murder, arson, and they were mostly peaceful protests.
00:30:05.000Yes. There was literally almost, I'm not even aware of any consequence.
00:30:10.000And yet someone on January 6, two years later, could still be in jail for being peaceful.
00:30:16.000It's crazy. They don't care about the reality.
00:30:18.000So what would your message be to either Lula or that government about what's going on right now?
00:30:22.000I mean, because I don't know. It's hard for people to have any faith in a system if this happens.
00:30:27.000Now, maybe they don't care. I mean, I think the Marxists have made it very clear.
00:30:31.000They don't care what the people really think.
00:30:33.000If they hold on to the power, it's a problem.
00:30:36.000But what do you say, A, to the people?
00:30:38.000You know, who are victims of this right now, and what would you say to an administration that's jailing people for For protesting.
00:30:47.000Again, we're making the distinction of those who are peaceful.
00:30:49.000First, we have to expose what is going on.
00:30:51.000If you don't have a chance to use the cameras or talk with people around you about what really is going on, they will do whatever they want.
00:30:59.000So first step, they say that we are nazists, facists, we are against black people.
00:31:04.000Everyone's a Nazi, fascist, homophobe, misogynist.
00:31:08.000It doesn't have to do anything with those things.
00:31:09.000Who would protect? Who would care about someone like that?
00:31:13.000So, if you don't care about this kind of people, they can do whatever they want.
00:31:16.000So, first thing, we have to prove that we are not, for sure, nazist, facist, or whatever they say.
00:33:30.000Explain your election process and what happened.
00:33:35.000Because you actually have some things in Brazil That are common sense things that we'd like here.
00:33:39.000Right now, you know, it's almost impossible, I think, win a national election right now in America until we start playing the game of the Democrats.
00:33:45.000They have a two-month-long, you know, election day.
00:33:54.000You know, ID rules, you do have same-day voting, you have some of those things, but the election process still, in your opinion, and that of many Brazilians is still total nonsense.
00:34:04.000Explain that in Brazil, and was it stolen?
00:34:10.000How happened in Brazil? Every first Sunday of October, in 44 years, you go vote.
00:34:16.000For the Congress, for the Senate, for the President.
00:34:18.000So from 8am until 5pm, you have to go by your own.
00:35:26.000But in the end of the day, you see Bolsonaro zero votes.
00:35:29.000This is a problem. And how can she prove that she voted in Bolsonaro or whatever?
00:35:34.000She can't. The maximum that she can do is ask for the electoral superior court to open an investigation.
00:35:41.000And they're not going to do anything. Nothing happens.
00:35:43.000So that's like our system, right? No, nothing happens, no.
00:35:44.000They censor people that start to talk about elections.
00:35:47.000It's forbidden in Brazil to talk about elections.
00:35:49.000Forbidden. If I start to talk about elections in Brazil, all my social media, my Instagram, my Twitter, my Facebook goes down.
00:35:55.000100%. So is that mandated by the government or is that mandated by, I mean, are the social media companies, which wouldn't surprise me even a little bit, are they playing game with the government?
00:36:04.000Well, this person's talking about election fraud.
00:36:07.000Even if they're saying, hey, this machine, and I guess that's what you're saying.
00:36:11.000Because in Brazil, you have two courts, the Supreme Court and the Electoral, I would say Electoral Court, all right?
00:36:18.000Three of the justices of the Supreme Court, they are part of the Electoral Court.
00:36:23.000That's why Alexandre de Moraes is a justice of the Supreme Court, but he is also on the head of the Electoral Court.
00:36:30.000Then comes the problem. Because here you think you are in a bad situation because the big tech censorship in Brazil is not only the big tech.
00:37:42.000I mean, the tech companies will say, okay...
00:37:44.000This is a very good point, and I would like to invite all the Americans to do our research about that.
00:37:50.000Because Meta, you know, the Facebook and Instagram owner, they have a partnership with the Electoral Court.
00:37:59.000So they are working together in all of this role.
00:38:02.000That doesn't surprise me. This is something that maybe your Congress here in the U.S. could ask.
00:38:07.000You know, sometimes we see on television, like Mark Zuckerberg and some people from these platforms going to the Senate.
00:38:12.000And this is a very good question to do to them.
00:38:15.000How was the work together with the electoral court?
00:38:18.000Because, clearly, they're working together for censorship.
00:38:21.000Yeah, and it's, you know, it's interesting because it's like one of those things where they have the then ability, no, no, no, we're working with the person who's nominated to do this, and he says it.
00:38:28.000I'm like, yeah, but if it's one person on the other side that has total power, they're judge, jury, and executioner.
00:38:34.000Yes. It's like those guys get their...
00:38:38.000Everything's great. Even if it's total nonsense.
00:38:42.000So, I mean, when you talk about the people that said, well, there were zero votes for Bolsonaro from this machine, and yet there's tens of thousands of people that said, no, but we voted here.
00:38:54.000That's why. There is no answer for this question.
00:38:56.000I'm talking to you about one of the cases.
00:38:59.000Was this something that happened in...
00:39:04.000Every district, every area, where they just said, hey man, it feels weird.
00:39:08.000I was in line. Everyone had a Bolsonaro shirt on or...
00:39:12.000They say, they say, they usually say, it's okay.
00:39:14.000Probably the voter, he misunderstood the process and he didn't vote for Bolsonaro for some reason.
00:39:21.000But you have a lot of cases like that.
00:39:23.000For example, you have some, on the north of the country, you have some machines where you had zero votes for Bolsonaro, and you have more than 50 votes for congressman candidates of my party.
00:39:35.000Can you imagine that? The guy is voting for Ted Cruz and not for Trump or, I don't know, for the candidate of the Republican Party.
00:39:43.000By the way, we saw a lot of that also, which is they're voting right down the Republican ticket, but they...
00:39:47.000They forgot to vote for president, strangely enough.
00:39:50.000And usually it's more common than the opposite happens.
00:39:52.000Of course it is. They vote for president, but they don't care about...
00:40:10.000The process is, whether in Brazil, whether it's the indoctrination of the children, whether it's sort of the push towards, you know, trans.
00:40:16.000And again, if you're 25 and you want to be trans, if you want to become trans, I don't give a shit.
00:41:37.000Yeah, sure. That shows you, but the fact that there are Democrats in America now calling for him to be extradited, right?
00:41:46.000We have people, everyone gets asylum in the United States, as long as they have no education, they need to be dependent on government, they come across the southern border, it doesn't matter if you're a terrorist, we'll probably give you asylum, who cares?
00:41:56.000This is crazy. Who could actually probably use it, who understands is going back perhaps to a system that would punish him severely for actually staying silent, but just for being anti this government and being perhaps a threat to that system because he's popular.
00:42:17.000If you were a Cuban refugee coming here a couple months ago when you were actually being shot at by your government, no, no, we don't want that.
00:42:23.000Because they've had a taste of socialism.
00:42:25.000They've had a taste of communism, and they're not going to bring it here with them.
00:42:28.000But if you haven't, and you just need that big government, well, the Democrat Party is wonderful for you, so you get asylum.
00:42:57.000They don't care if in China they are killing I don't know how many people every year or what is going on.
00:43:02.000They want to be in power and they want to do the revolution.
00:43:06.000What is the revolution? To do a revolution, for example, usually I do a comparison between conservatives and this kind of people like AOC. One of those of that was asking my father to go back to Brazil.
00:43:22.000What do we do? Okay, let's do the reforms, try to change this and that.
00:43:25.000These kind of people, they want to burn out the house and build a new one.
00:43:30.000And this is the problem, because when you do that, you kill a lot of people.
00:43:36.000To see on earth what the social engineering that they have in mind.
00:43:41.000Everywhere, for example, where you had this, you know, Soviet Union, Cuba, China with Mao Tse Tung, Cambodia, whatever, they killed millions and millions of people to do this revolution.
00:43:52.000So that's what they are doing right now.
00:43:54.000That's why they say that you are nazis, because they want to kill you, and no one cares about that.
00:43:59.000They want to censorship you in the first step, but in the second, the third step, who knows?
00:44:03.000Maybe now you're saying, Eduardo, you're crazy.
00:44:05.000No one will kill each other, you know?
00:44:08.000I don't know. I would never say a congressman in Brazil would be, like, censored when in our constitution we have an article clearly saying that we can say whatever we want.
00:44:18.000So things are so crazy that we have to...
00:44:23.000Take a break. Take a break and think about that.
00:44:40.000Crazy, crazy, crazy. So we discussed, obviously, you have a sort of very political judge with a lot of power, sort of unilaterally, going after your father, going after conservatives.
00:44:56.000I don't think so. Maybe we don't have the answers to fix all of the trouble that we have in Brazil.
00:45:04.000But we still, we are in majority Christians, we are in majority people who care about your country, and I think this is the feeling that is necessary to keep moving on.
00:45:17.000I do, sometimes I look to the Soviet Union at that time for countries that were under the Soviet Union government.
00:47:04.000We have to be smart, but we also have to stay in the game.
00:47:06.000Yes. I mean, it feels like their tactics are designed to demoralize, right?
00:47:10.000A peaceful protester that goes to jail, someone else sees that, like, is it worth it?
00:47:14.000Like, I may not love what's going on, but I also love my life, my family, my job.
00:47:17.000I want to be able to do what's better for my country, but I don't know that I'm going to jail for it to just basically have I think your father, and maybe that's the biggest similarity, but I want to hear your thoughts between your father and mine, which is that they've been able to get people to step out.
00:47:33.000People to become political who are otherwise sort of indifferent.
00:47:37.000People to finally wake up and start seeing what's going on around them.
00:47:42.000They've gotten such a visceral reaction from the other side.
00:47:46.000Drove them so crazy that the other side finally exposes who they really are.
00:47:50.000Once you see that I think this is the main point that connects our fathers.
00:48:00.000They don't care about the politically correct.
00:48:01.000They are brave enough to talk the truth like no one before did that.
00:48:07.000That's why now I'm sure that not even leaving daily the American politics, but I'm sure that Americans are more clarified how it works, you know, the whole system.
00:48:17.000And how unfair they can be against someone that put in risk this whole system.
00:48:22.000This happened with your father and my father, and this is 100% something that connected them.
00:48:27.000I mean, step out from the politically correct, you know, because they don't think, and think again, and then they talk.
00:48:34.000No, they have, they think, and straight go talking to the people.
00:49:01.000You know, when they call me at four o'clock in the I think people also appreciate that.
00:49:12.000They see it because it's real. Yes, yes.
00:49:14.000It's real. So what's going to be your father's legacy in Brazil?
00:49:20.000Now, I imagine, perhaps like mine, It may not be over.
00:49:25.000But, you know, what's the legacy of what he's created there?
00:49:28.000Again, I think we're seeing, you know, perhaps in the world, you know, and similar to what we've seen here, but perhaps in the world we haven't seen that level of support from people to come out at risk and knowingly.
00:49:40.000Understanding, I mean, you know, perhaps it's a little different here.
00:49:43.000We thought, you know, the Marxists, you know, we'll talk about the Marxists.
00:49:46.000Over there it was real. I mean, you've seen real socialism.
00:49:49.000You've seen real oppression. You've seen, you know, essentially the dictatorships that exist.
00:49:53.000So those people came out knowing that consequence was there or was real anyway.
00:49:58.000I think we discovered that over the last few years.
00:50:13.000For example, bringing water to the northeast of Brazil is a very dry region.
00:50:18.000I could talk about the cut money for dictatorships as Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua and some others.
00:50:24.000Christian actions together, international forums together with Hungary.
00:50:28.000You have a bunch of things that I would talk about today.
00:50:31.000The gun control, you know, giving more access to the people so they have more guns legally at their homes and reducing the murder rates.
00:50:37.000But I think the number one in all the legacy of my father, I would say, is the rising up again with the feeling of patriotism.
00:50:45.000Like people going to the streets wearing, you know, green and yellow t-shirts and the Brazilian flag and all of that.
00:50:52.000The respect that will rescue again, you know, about your country.
00:50:57.000I think this is the number one thing because people start to think, Okay, our militaries, they have a mission.
00:51:02.000Our law enforcement, they are protecting this country with this flag.
00:51:06.000So you start to get back again the sense of community.
00:51:10.000And you only have good things to talk about, nationalism.
00:51:13.000So I think this is the number one, if I could say, the number one thing that my father did, it is rescuing this feeling again.
00:51:20.000Yeah, you know, that's sort of interesting to me.
00:51:22.000Like I said, we touched on it in the beginning a little bit, but I never...
00:51:26.000I never realized that even nationalism in Brazil, love of country, support of country, that's become a four-letter word here in the United States.
00:51:38.000I didn't realize that was at risk even in a place like Brazil.
00:51:41.000I think of Brazil, obviously you think of soccer, football.
00:51:45.000There's only 9 billion people that call it football and we call it soccer.
00:51:49.000You know what I mean? I didn't realize that that was sort of at risk even outside of the U.S. Because the U.S. with their woke bullshit that's gone so far.
00:51:59.000It's not at risk. We didn't have before Bolsonaro.
00:52:03.000It's shocking to me. I mean, I just assumed everywhere else in the world, you know, if you go to Mexico, they're not cheering for, you know, someone else other than Mexico.
00:52:13.000And I didn't realize that that was at risk outside of the U.S. I just thought we were so, you know, ahead of the curve on the progressive woke bullshit agenda that maybe we're the first, but that it actually was already...
00:52:25.000At least somewhat lost in Brazil or no longer cool to support your country.
00:52:50.000For example, you have in Latin America, You have on the head of a Bolivarian movement, Nicolás Maduro, the dictator, the narco-dictator of Venezuela.
00:53:00.000His dream is to connect the whole Latin America, turn the whole Latin America, only one country.
00:53:06.000They say in Spanish, the Patria Grande is the only one country of Latin America.
00:53:12.000That's why when they say... Wholly owned and operated by China.
00:53:28.000But, I mean, that's perhaps the big problem, right?
00:53:30.000And that's what people aren't seeing, is that the reality is all these guys are very at risk to be on the take.
00:53:38.000You know, a country like China, you see that all over Africa.
00:53:41.000They come in, they show up with a briefcase of cash...
00:53:43.000Now they control all the lithium mines, and it's very wonderful, and it's very environmental, except it's modern-day slavery happening in terrible environmental conditions, and we're supposed to pretend that this is somehow green and wonderful.
00:54:38.000I don't know that we need to operate that way, but that we're pretending that we're playing the same game is asinine to me.
00:54:45.000Yes. And, you know, watching them get a foothold, I mean, you know, Africa, they control most of it in terms of at least the rare earth minerals and all the things that we need, and that our own government is trying to pretend and push for the future, right?
00:54:56.000Whether it's, you know, electric vehicles, the getting away from fossil fuels and all of this stuff.
00:55:00.000I mean, yeah, that's wonderful, except there's not enough lithium in the world right now to Implement your green energy and fuel enough Teslas.
00:55:07.000And there's certainly not enough for America to do this while China's taking control of all that.
00:55:12.000So we're literally making ourselves dependent on those who have made no bones about it.
00:56:27.000Yes. But, okay, so Argentina at that time, they had agreement with China.
00:56:31.000It's something like China, they have a base, and they explore something about satellites or militaries, whatever, in Argentina.
00:56:38.000Okay, they have this agreement, and the Chinese work there in a base in Argentina.
00:56:43.000When the new president, Macri, which is a center-right wing, When he became president of Argentina, he said to China, okay, I want to check, and by the agreement that we have, I can do that.
00:56:54.000I have the right to do that. I want to look what is going on in this base, what you are doing in this operation here in Argentina.
00:57:00.000And China answered, okay, you can do that.
00:57:04.000You can go there. So, only do not forget that you have this investment of China in your port.
00:57:09.000You have China investment here, here, here, here, here.
01:03:10.000But I think as more people get that, as more people understand what we're up against, as more people get involved in the fight because of it, perhaps we actually do bring all freedom-loving, liberty-loving people together to push back against the bullshit.
01:04:41.000And stick around. If you guys are on the Locals platform and a subscription member there, I'm going to do some direct Q&A. I'll switch over there in a minute or so.
