Speaker 2
it's really odd and also american uh right wing commentators or at least i guess more like mega specifically
Speaker 1
stop the steel ones are yeah january six affiliated
Speaker 2
let's put this up there on the screen uh alia alexander played a big role in january sixes i do not denounce the unannounced impromptu capital tours by the people the national supreme court in brazil is a legitimate apparently steve bannon uh was cheering it on as well i don't really get what currency that that would he would have especially after the dropping of the republicans in the midterms as a large result of stop the steel and sandy clearly a lot of people
Speaker 1
here were really pissed off by i don't know why to what happened here as a model
Speaker 2
yeah exactly i mean my question do you you because you know the situation better than i do what is balsonaro's role in this like from what i can tell he stayed quiet right now he's actually here in the united states which is kind of crazy uh i don't really know why um he's even here in the first place but at the same time it's a difficult if a different situation because he narrowly lost power but as glenn said on our show balsonaroismo is now in power all across brazil like there is party had major gains in what is the in the national congress as well as uh for key governorships and like sau polo and for um and for rio di jonaro so i don't understand the point of the is it about him himself because from what i have understand like outside of lula holding the presidency the rest of the country is very much a balsonaro pro balsonaro country at least in terms of the party yeah and honestly this might change that you know as a result um
Speaker 1
yeah i think that's a good question i don't think anyone really knows the answer to it yeah because uh as i said on the one hand you're like okay i mean i sort of felt like the the big danger had passed in brazil because the inauguration happened you know he just stayed quiet and left and i was like you know what that's fine but because he hasn't said much um he did tell them before when they were blocking roads he told him to stop doing that so let's give him credit for that um he did yesterday after basically everything had happened which is also very trumpian because of course on january six trump waited for basically everything to have happened and then you know go home great patreon the hell he said we very similar vibes from balsonaro yester is like after everything and happen he put out some tweet statement saying like okay let's not do this this is no good um but you know there there are a lot of people raising questions about whether there was some direct involvement for him whether his silence was ultimately like an encouragement and excitement for um his supporters so i don't think anyone really knows the answer to that at this point to your point about him being in florida go ahead and put the fifth element we've got some images of him you know the fifth element guys this is about some of what lula has done he halted the privatization of eight uh state-owned good gigantic companies including the state oil enterprise so he's already getting to work here but we have a a vio a balsonaro the fifth element just like walking around florida which is so strange to see he's in orlando he's at the home of an mma fighter for some reason i don't really know why and um i don't know why the us i don't know why florida uh the whole thing is very strange and interesting go to the fourth element guys this is uh lulah's statement um he had here's what he said he said you must have followed the barbarism in brazilia today those people we call fascist the most abominable thing in politics invaded the palace in congress we think there was a lack of security that suggests a little bit of suggestion that perhaps you know the local officials were kind of in on it whoever did this will be found and punished democracy guarantees the right to free expression it also requires people to respect institutions there is no precedent in history of the country for what they did today for that they must be punished and we're going to find out who are the financiers of those who went to brazilia today and they will all pay with the force of law so that is ultimately what lulah is saying at the same time you have a reaction from some government officials here and uh what king casters member of congress democratic member of congress is actually calling for balsonaro to be extradited from florida back to brazil not only for this uh which you know again we don't know exactly what or if he was directly involved or implicated he's also under corruption investigation so anyway that's the comment from lulah we'll see what is uncovered from here who was involved what happens next if this is like the end or if they're going to try some other sort of shenanigans and another like failed coup plot but if they thought they were going to get a big populist uprising or the military to come in and uh and back them in their coup plans that clearly ultimately didn't work out just on the u.s political front saga i saw a wakim castro and aoc and i don't know if there were others calling for balsonaro to be extradited to brazil and i also saw uh president biden coming out and quote condemning the assault on democracy and on the peaceful transfer of power in brazil i don't even know about extradition
