  • I'm very happy and also living here in texas.
  • 00:01:52.468 --> 00:01:55.638
  • So basically doing a resume, the story of my father, he's a c
  • 00:01:55.638 --> 00:01:59.576
  • That got elected in brazil, whic the second biggest democracy in
  • 00:01:59.576 --> 00:02:04.347
  • Not not even spending $1 million in his campaign.
  • 00:02:04.347 --> 00:02:07.383
  • So he had a lot of independence for the very first time administ
  • 00:02:07.383 --> 00:02:11.654
  • That puts the brazilian in a fir
  • 00:02:11.654 --> 00:02:15.091

  • 00:02:15.091 --> 00:02:20.029
  • You can imagine atmosphere we ha and also have a lot of enemies.
  • 00:02:20.029 --> 00:02:25.501
  • And so basically what they are d
  • 00:02:25.501 --> 00:02:27.570
  • They are trying to arrest us because i'm not a congressman an
  • 00:02:27.570 --> 00:02:31.874
  • They took my mandate.
  • 00:02:31.874 --> 00:02:33.309

  • That is showing the truth.
  • 00:02:42.218 --> 00:02:44.721
  • Because i do believe that by showing the truth,
  • 00:02:44.721 --> 00:02:46.990
  • The people will realize that we are on the right side
  • 00:02:46.990 --> 00:02:50.093
  • And we have a common enemy that does not want that.
  • 00:02:50.093 --> 00:02:53.363
  • We go back to the administration but again, the interests of the
  • 00:02:53.363 --> 00:02:57.734
  • In the first place.
  • 00:02:57.734 --> 00:02:58.835
  • And that's why we're doing
  • 00:02:58.835 --> 00:03:00.103
  • What we're doing here today and telling your story for our a
  • 00:03:00.103 --> 00:03:03.106
  • Look, your dad has been compared to a brazilian, donald trump.
  • 00:03:03.106 --> 00:03:07.176
  • People have compared him, and th a close relationship, of course.
  • 00:03:07.176 --> 00:03:09.579
  • But the way president trump has been persecuted by his oppon
  • 00:03:09.579 --> 00:03:12.815
  • They've come after your father a
  • 00:03:12.815 --> 00:03:14.450
  • Your father is a strong conserva a strong christian,
  • 00:03:14.450 --> 00:03:17.654
  • And the leftist political class does not like that.
  • 00:03:17.654 --> 00:03:21.224
  • Needless to say, by the way, you mentioned you're here in tex
  • 00:03:21.224 --> 00:03:24.494
  • Of course not.
  • 00:03:24.494 --> 00:03:25.728
  • By coincidence, they've come aft as you just mentioned, eduardo
  • 00:03:25.728 --> 00:03:28.264
  • And you were recently sentenced to four years and two months
  • 00:03:28.264 --> 00:03:32.035
  • In prison from this radical left government in brazil.
  • 00:03:32.035 --> 00:03:35.571
  • Tell us more about that.
  • 00:03:35.571 --> 00:03:36.839
  • Be careful. you're in front of a very dangerous terrorist.
  • 00:03:36.839 --> 00:03:39.842
  • But this is even worse when you see the f
  • 00:03:40.677 --> 00:03:43.780
  • And about the case, they are just charging me now,
  • 00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:46.916
  • Condemning me because my relatio that i had with the american aut
  • 00:03:46.916 --> 00:03:52.021
  • Something that i left for the wh they were doing.
  • 00:03:52.021 --> 00:03:54.991
  • And but using lies that why they never succeed.
  • 00:03:54.991 --> 00:03:59.062
  • But by telling the truth in the white house, in the congr
  • 00:03:59.062 --> 00:04:02.799
  • In the state department, and now in the media, in us,
  • 00:04:02.799 --> 00:04:05.902
  • They consider that a threat.
  • 00:04:05.902 --> 00:04:07.904
  • They consider that what you call brazil, the crime of coercion,
  • 00:04:07.904 --> 00:04:11.441
  • Because they said when donald tr sanctioned justice of our suprem
  • 00:04:11.441 --> 00:04:16.346
  • Moraes, who is leading all of this perse
  • 00:04:16.346 --> 00:04:19.115
  • The guy who benedict's frozen st accounts, the tenant, jason mill
  • 00:04:19.115 --> 00:04:23.319
  • Issued worst arrest warrants against american citizens
  • 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:27.690
  • Because tweeting here from the us territory.
  • 00:04:27.690 --> 00:04:30.693
  • So this guy got sanctioned by tr as they do
  • 00:04:30.693 --> 00:04:34.297
  • Not have courage enough to indic
  • 00:04:34.297 --> 00:04:39.102
  • They indicted me.
  • 00:04:39.535 --> 00:04:40.536
  • And also to prevent me
  • 00:04:40.536 --> 00:04:41.904
  • To go back to brazil and run for by the state of sao paulo.
  • 00:04:41.904 --> 00:04:45.842
  • Finish with this question, my fr
  • 00:04:45.842 --> 00:04:47.276
  • Erik, i have to remind you, i'm voted i ever congressman in the
  • 00:04:47.276 --> 00:04:50.580
  • Brazil. that's right.
  • 00:04:50.580 --> 00:04:51.647
  • And that was pulling more than 4 for the elections.
  • 00:04:51.647 --> 00:04:54.851
  • One of the two chairs that we wi this october in the san paolo st
  • 00:04:54.851 --> 00:04:59.122
  • So reminding that senators in br they voted the impeachment
  • 00:04:59.122 --> 00:05:03.226
  • Of the justice of the supreme co say they want to make sure
  • 00:05:03.226 --> 00:05:06.429
  • That i will live here in exile i and do not come back to brazil.
  • 00:05:06.429 --> 00:05:09.632
  • Yeah.
  • 00:05:09.632 --> 00:05:10.700
  • This is so clearly i think it politically motivated
  • 00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:13.536
  • Said, more votes than any congre in the history of brazil.
  • 00:05:13.536 --> 00:05:16.539
  • You received your father hugely
  • 00:05:16.539 --> 00:05:20.376
  • Flavio, your
  • 00:05:20.710 --> 00:05:21.778
  • Brother running for the presiden now against lula.
  • 00:05:21.778 --> 00:05:24.414
  • And you are a threat, as you sai
  • 00:05:24.414 --> 00:05:26.516
  • And your father, by the way,
  • 00:05:26.516 --> 00:05:28.951
  • Look, sentenced to 27 years in p
  • 00:05:28.951 --> 00:05:32.021
  • He's currently under house arres

  • He's had some health struggles. tell us more about that.
  • 00:05:33.356 --> 00:05:35.992
  • I mean, again, 2022, a lot of election meddling.
  • 00:05:35.992 --> 00:05:38.995
  • Many believe in brazil.
  • 00:05:38.995 --> 00:05:40.296
  • When he lost, tallulah and lula did not waste
  • 00:05:40.296 --> 00:05:44.300
  • And just coming after your fathe right away and your father again
  • 00:05:44.300 --> 00:05:47.370
  • A close friend of president trum of prime minister netanyahu and
  • 00:05:47.370 --> 00:05:50.840
  • And lula is a fierce opponent of
  • 00:05:50.840 --> 00:05:53.709
  • Is this a capitalism?
  • 00:05:53.709 --> 00:05:55.011
  • Yeah.
  • 00:05:55.011 --> 00:05:56.279
  • Is this basically the same playb something that i would like to r
  • 00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.782
  • Is that a is the first time in the brazilian history that a
  • 00:05:59.782 --> 00:06:03.553
  • President is judge by the suprem usually former presidents, just
  • 00:06:03.553 --> 00:06:08.658
  • He was in prison. yeah.
  • 00:06:08.658 --> 00:06:10.159
  • His case took, i don't know, sev until he goes to jail.
  • 00:06:10.159 --> 00:06:15.331
  • But now the supreme court in bra they learned with you here in th
  • 00:06:15.331 --> 00:06:20.336
  • Behind the scenes, they say we are not going to do the same
  • 00:06:20.336 --> 00:06:23.439
  • Of the americans, that a lot the
  • 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.476
  • The conservative, the right wing in the post to run for president
  • 00:06:26.476 --> 00:06:29.979
  • That was done on trump.
  • 00:06:29.979 --> 00:06:31.347
  • So what they did is they speeded up as much as possi
  • 00:06:31.347 --> 00:06:34.417
  • To convict my father before this year that we have el
  • 00:06:34.417 --> 00:06:39.021

  • To reduce the influence of my fa my father, now his arrest.
  • 00:06:42.658 --> 00:06:46.662
  • But it's forbidden to receive vi except from the family and the l
  • 00:06:46.662 --> 00:06:51.467
  • This is a clear attempt.
  • 00:06:51.467 --> 00:06:54.704
  • They try to block my father with his political issues
  • 00:06:54.704 --> 00:06:58.741
  • Because he's still very strong.
  • 00:06:58.741 --> 00:07:00.977

  • To block because the left wing, they are connected with these ca
  • 00:08:37.964 --> 00:08:41.400

  • And so on.
  • 00:08:44.103 --> 00:08:45.605
  • The following day, it was on a s
  • 00:08:45.605 --> 00:08:47.373
  • I still remember on the followin on the sunday this information g

  • For meeting with trump, begging trump to do not do that,
  • 00:09:11.864 --> 00:09:15.267
  • Which means he was lobbying in favor of our cartels.

  • 00:09:26.412 --> 00:09:30.850
  • Because the three major producer of cocaine peru believe in colom
  • 00:09:30.850 --> 00:09:35.488
  • Okay.
  • 00:09:35.488 --> 00:09:36.188
  • They are producers in the centra
  • 00:09:36.188 --> 00:09:37.423
  • But where do they launch their m
  • 00:09:37.423 --> 00:09:39.792
  • In brazil?
  • 00:09:39.792 --> 00:09:40.426
  • In brazil.
  • 00:09:40.426 --> 00:09:41.694
  • In brazil, we have the most soph bank system of latin america.
  • 00:09:41.694 --> 00:09:45.765
  • And this is what is shaking braz because when trump and rubio dec
  • 00:09:45.765 --> 00:09:50.936
  • Our two major cartels is not ris the main effect would be
  • 00:09:50.936 --> 00:09:55.007
  • In the financial system.
  • 00:09:55.007 --> 00:09:57.209
  • That's why a lot of people in br they are dispirited.
  • 00:09:57.209 --> 00:09:59.945
  • And but we are fully in support because we cannot
  • 00:09:59.945 --> 00:10:03.683
  • Allow people earn money destroying other families lives.
  • 00:10:03.683 --> 00:10:07.553
  • Yeah. no doubt.
  • 00:10:07.553 --> 00:10:08.688
  • Well, said eduardo.
  • 00:10:08.688 --> 00:10:09.955
  • And by the way, president trump commented on lula, narco terrori
  • 00:10:09.955 --> 00:10:13.092
  • And more regarding brazil at the g7 summit.
  • 00:10:13.092 --> 00:10:16.162
  • Folks, take a look at this clip.
  • 00:10:16.162 --> 00:10:18.330
  • It's become a little rough count
  • 00:10:18.330 --> 00:10:20.232
  • Politically, a little dangerous politically.
  • 00:10:20.232 --> 00:10:22.802
  • You're talking about brazil? yea
  • 00:10:22.802 --> 00:10:25.871
  • It's been nasty.
  • 00:10:26.272 --> 00:10:28.641
  • I hear they arrested somebody that's running for office today.
  • 00:10:28.641 --> 00:10:32.545
  • I found that out after we left.
  • 00:10:32.545 --> 00:10:34.380
  • I just said goodbye to him, and that they arrested the bolsonaro
  • 00:10:34.380 --> 00:10:40.052
  • He was doing well in the polls, and they arrested him
  • 00:10:40.052 --> 00:10:43.322
  • Because he made a statement in t
  • 00:10:43.322 --> 00:10:45.991
  • They arrested him.
  • 00:10:45.991 --> 00:10:46.892
  • Or they want to arrest him.
  • 00:10:46.892 --> 00:10:48.260
  • They have something out. arrest.
  • 00:10:48.260 --> 00:10:50.629
  • They play pretty tough, but nobo tougher than the united states.
  • 00:10:50.629 --> 00:10:54.100
  • Look, our elections are totally
  • 00:10:54.100 --> 00:10:55.868
  • We have rigged elections.
  • 00:10:55.868 --> 00:10:58.604
  • So president trump certainly get
  • 00:10:58.604 --> 00:11:01.040
  • What's happening in brazil?
  • 00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:02.174
  • He had you mixed up with your br by the way.
  • 00:11:02.174 --> 00:11:03.642
  • We were laughing off camera.
  • 00:11:03.642 --> 00:11:04.777
  • Your brother, actually, you are facing these charges.
  • 00:11:04.777 --> 00:11:07.780
  • Your brother is running for pres but nonetheless.
  • 00:11:07.780 --> 00:11:10.449
  • Message sent.
  • 00:11:10.449 --> 00:11:11.484
  • It seems that president trump, n thankfully,
  • 00:11:11.484 --> 00:11:14.019
  • He's aware of what's happening, which is a great thing.
  • 00:11:14.019 --> 00:11:16.255
  • He's putting pressure on lula, but it seems
  • 00:11:16.255 --> 00:11:18.424
  • There's been kind of a conservat wave in the western hemisphere.
  • 00:11:18.424 --> 00:11:22.161
  • I'd argue that your father, in m in latin america, kind of
  • 00:11:22.161 --> 00:11:25.164
  • Kicked it off when he was electe president.
  • 00:11:25.164 --> 00:11:26.932
  • Now you've got malay, javier malay in argentina,
  • 00:11:26.932 --> 00:11:29.301
  • You've got buckley and el salvad and you've got this conservative
  • 00:11:29.301 --> 00:11:33.172
  • Do you see latin america moving to the right? yes.
  • 00:11:33.172 --> 00:11:36.909
  • And the history shows us that usually latin america
  • 00:11:36.909 --> 00:11:40.112
  • Goes all the countries together in the same sense.
  • 00:11:40.112 --> 00:11:43.649
  • When you talk about politics.
  • 00:11:43.649 --> 00:11:45.184
  • So literally, this is a clear movement to the
  • 00:11:45.184 --> 00:11:48.854
  • I only i also do like to remind that brazil is half of south ame
  • 00:11:48.854 --> 00:11:52.858
  • In terms of territory, gdp and p
  • 00:11:52.858 --> 00:11:55.861
  • So winning the election in brazi is the same thing that win the e
  • 00:11:55.861 --> 00:11:59.665
  • In all respect.
  • 00:11:59.665 --> 00:12:00.499
  • Uruguay, argentina, paraguay,
  • 00:12:00.499 --> 00:12:01.934
  • Bolivia, chile, ecuador and the other countries combined
  • 00:12:01.934 --> 00:12:05.171
  • And i'm sure that shifting brazi it'll be way better
  • 00:12:05.171 --> 00:12:10.142
  • Not only for our region, but also for us, because, for ex
  • 00:12:10.142 --> 00:12:14.313
  • This headache about the narco te groups, we are going to really f
  • 00:12:14.313 --> 00:12:17.883
  • We are going to reduce their inf
  • 00:12:17.883 --> 00:12:19.685
  • We are going to cooperate with united states
  • 00:12:19.685 --> 00:12:21.821
  • Way more than the other asiatica countries.
  • 00:12:21.821 --> 00:12:24.390
  • Also in earth's in joint military operations,
  • 00:12:24.390 --> 00:12:28.260
  • We have a few that you do togeth but unfortunately, by
  • 00:12:28.260 --> 00:12:32.431
  • Ideological reasons, the current is not acting like that.
  • 00:12:32.431 --> 00:12:35.367
  • He prefers to take other countri to be allies
  • 00:12:35.367 --> 00:12:38.704
  • Because basically he hates unite
  • 00:12:38.704 --> 00:12:42.007
  • Talk a bit about the current brazilian government, a bit more
  • 00:12:42.007 --> 00:12:45.911
  • And his worldview and his allian and why he's so dangerous.
  • 00:12:45.911 --> 00:12:50.616
  • We were receiving like a couple of years ago.
  • 00:12:50.616 --> 00:12:53.018
  • Lula was receiving warships from iran sanctioned by united s
  • 00:12:53.018 --> 00:12:57.423
  • This is the level of the madness
  • 00:12:57.423 --> 00:12:59.091
  • Of the current administration and why he is doing that?
  • 00:12:59.091 --> 00:13:02.228
  • Because sandy run into iran exchange program for t
  • 00:13:02.228 --> 00:13:06.765
  • I don't know, but i do not want walking with this kind of people
  • 00:13:06.765 --> 00:13:11.670
  • And then when the right wing is doing something good, like bu
  • 00:13:11.670 --> 00:13:15.441
  • In the security area of el salva
  • 00:13:15.441 --> 00:13:17.409
  • Melaye in the economy.
  • 00:13:17.409 --> 00:13:18.577
  • Argentina. lula is doing the opposite in brazil.
  • 00:13:18.577 --> 00:13:21.380
  • So he is giving a comfortable li for narcos.
  • 00:13:21.380 --> 00:13:24.817
  • Is increasing the taxes and increasing the inflation in
  • 00:13:24.817 --> 00:13:29.321
  • Does it matter what shows up in the mainstream
  • 00:13:29.321 --> 00:13:31.523
  • When people go to the market,
  • 00:13:31.523 --> 00:13:32.791
  • They realize the price of the ri and the price of the things are
  • 00:13:32.791 --> 00:13:35.828
  • Way more expensive.
  • 00:13:35.828 --> 00:13:37.463
  • So basically do lula is doing wa now in this administration
  • 00:13:37.463 --> 00:13:43.168
  • Then we had in brazil during the pandemic time.
  • 00:13:43.168 --> 00:13:46.772
  • Even with the pandemic, we made in economy for the first time.
  • 00:13:46.772 --> 00:13:51.610
  • We had less inflation than united states in the whole
  • 00:13:51.610 --> 00:13:55.147
  • We reduced the murders in one th
  • 00:13:55.147 --> 00:13:57.683
  • It was the biggest drop ever in rate in the history of zero.
  • 00:13:57.683 --> 00:14:02.788
  • While we were giving more access
  • 00:14:02.788 --> 00:14:05.925
  • Guns to the citizens of brazil, to people who obey the law.
  • 00:14:05.925 --> 00:14:09.428
  • So it's a proof that we do not o we do the things remembering.
  • 00:14:09.428 --> 00:14:15.501
  • And with this question that we d a full support of the congress,
  • 00:14:15.501 --> 00:14:19.571
  • And not even for the supreme cou but still we did a very good job
  • 00:14:19.571 --> 00:14:24.109
  • And i'm sure people will recogni
  • 00:14:24.109 --> 00:14:27.313
  • And we elect in october election
  • 00:14:27.313 --> 00:14:29.848
  • Yeah, it's coming up just a few months away.
  • 00:14:29.848 --> 00:14:31.250
  • Your brother going toe to toe wi
  • 00:14:31.250 --> 00:14:33.619
  • We were talking off camera as well about communi
  • 00:14:34.553 --> 00:14:37.289
  • We talk about lula's relationshi with the iranian regime.
  • 00:14:37.289 --> 00:14:41.093
  • President trump is trying to get out of the western hemisphere
  • 00:14:41.093 --> 00:14:44.496
  • And chinese influence out of our hemisphere.
  • 00:14:44.496 --> 00:14:46.699
  • But it seems lula is welcoming them in to the
  • 00:14:46.699 --> 00:14:50.402
  • Talk about the dangerous china influence in brazil under lula.
  • 00:14:50.402 --> 00:14:54.273
  • They are basically playing the s playbook that they did with afri
  • 00:14:54.273 --> 00:14:58.610
  • So they come to your country and now they are even getting ou
  • 00:14:58.610 --> 00:15:01.981
  • Byd they produce a lot of electr
  • 00:15:01.981 --> 00:15:05.684
  • They can produce that in brazil, but they are producing in brazil
  • 00:15:05.684 --> 00:15:09.488
  • They are getting their profits sending for china and also the j
  • 00:15:09.488 --> 00:15:13.425
  • So what is the benefit for the c during this kind of politics
  • 00:15:13.425 --> 00:15:17.062
  • Is basically we are becoming a colony of chin
  • 00:15:17.062 --> 00:15:20.132
  • China was taking all of our hair and i tell you, it's
  • 00:15:20.132 --> 00:15:23.369
  • Fine to trade with china, but you cannot do that with chin
  • 00:15:23.369 --> 00:15:27.339
  • Like regular democracy and our t basically in the whole history o
  • 00:15:27.339 --> 00:15:32.978
  • Our number one trade partner, it's always united states
  • 00:15:32.978 --> 00:15:36.682
  • Only from 2009, during the second term of presid
  • 00:15:36.682 --> 00:15:39.785
  • Lula da silva became china, the number one trade partner.
  • 00:15:39.785 --> 00:15:43.489
  • So what is basically having is l need more presence in the united
  • 00:15:43.489 --> 00:15:46.859
  • We need more relationship with american business,
  • 00:15:46.859 --> 00:15:49.294
  • With american companies, because we share the same values
  • 00:15:49.294 --> 00:15:53.032
  • About women's rights, about labo about the american dream.
  • 00:15:53.032 --> 00:15:57.970
  • That's why a lot of brazilians come here to united states.
  • 00:15:57.970 --> 00:16:01.306
  • So we want to get the good thing that we have in us
  • 00:16:01.306 --> 00:16:05.511
  • And bring to bear, because we ha potential for that, i'm sure.
  • 00:16:05.511 --> 00:16:10.382
  • Coming up,
  • 00:16:10.682 --> 00:16:11.950
  • Eduardo bolsonaro explains why f has become a powerful force in b
  • 00:16:11.950 --> 00:16:17.022
  • Why his family stands firmly wit and what he believes comes
  • 00:16:17.022 --> 00:16:21.460
  • Next in the fight for his nation
  • 00:16:21.460 --> 00:16:25.230
  • Stick around.
  • 00:16:25.230 --> 00:16:28.995
  • Stick around.
  • 00:16:28.995 --> 00:16:31.905
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:16:32.672 --> 00:16:34.741
  • For the bolsonaro family, their fight is about more than politic
  • 00:16:34.741 --> 00:16:39.546
  • It's about faith, freedom and the future of western civili
  • 00:16:39.546 --> 00:16:44.150
  • In the final part of my conversa with eduardo bolsonaro, we discu
  • 00:16:44.150 --> 00:16:48.121
  • Brazil's spiritual awakening, his support for israel
  • 00:16:48.121 --> 00:16:51.891
  • And why he believes better days
  • 00:16:51.891 --> 00:16:54.961
  • Despite the challenges facing hi
  • 00:16:54.961 --> 00:16:58.231
  • Take a look.
  • 00:16:58.231 --> 00:17:00.400
  • Your family's been through strug
  • 00:17:00.400 --> 00:17:01.768
  • The nation has been through stru
  • 00:17:01.768 --> 00:17:03.103
  • But your faith.
  • 00:17:03.103 --> 00:17:04.537
  • I know eduardo has gotten you,
  • 00:17:04.537 --> 00:17:06.606
  • Your father, your brother through the trials and tribulati
  • 00:17:06.606 --> 00:17:09.909
  • Talk more about that.
  • 00:17:09.909 --> 00:17:11.044
  • I think of the church growing by leaps and bounds in b
  • 00:17:11.044 --> 00:17:14.681
  • I mean, there's a movement of fa a movement of people turning to
  • 00:17:14.681 --> 00:17:18.251
  • It's pretty amazing to see.
  • 00:17:18.251 --> 00:17:19.686
  • Talk a bit more about the role that faith has played in your fa
  • 00:17:19.686 --> 00:17:23.089
  • And how it's really exploding in
  • 00:17:23.089 --> 00:17:26.192
  • Yes, that is a movement in brazi that is raising up.
  • 00:17:26.192 --> 00:17:29.896
  • We're very
  • 00:17:29.896 --> 00:17:31.464
  • Happy with that.
  • 00:17:31.865 --> 00:17:33.266
  • I said that happening here and that as well,
  • 00:17:33.266 --> 00:17:36.136
  • Because in the end of the day, if you study the frankfurt schoo
  • 00:17:36.136 --> 00:17:39.139
  • You'll see that the main target of our opponents
  • 00:17:39.139 --> 00:17:42.842
  • Is to destroy the christian jewish values.
  • 00:17:42.842 --> 00:17:46.746
  • So they have to destroy it to build
  • 00:17:46.746 --> 00:17:49.749
  • In the in this place
  • 00:17:49.749 --> 00:17:52.352
  • What they thought is the best so that they built in their minds.
  • 00:17:52.352 --> 00:17:56.923
  • So we needed to work to rescue these values.
  • 00:17:56.923 --> 00:18:01.661
  • Respect the order,
  • 00:18:01.661 --> 00:18:03.163
  • Be honest, you know, preserve our society,
  • 00:18:03.163 --> 00:18:06.166
  • The sense of community.
  • 00:18:06.166 --> 00:18:07.500
  • And we needed to do that in the
  • 00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:10.403
  • They want to destroy it.
  • 00:18:10.403 --> 00:18:12.472
  • And i very thank, thank god,
  • 00:18:12.472 --> 00:18:15.942
  • Because if i'm living here, it's because of the providence.
  • 00:18:15.942 --> 00:18:19.612
  • We had so much coincidences on the way that we got this,
  • 00:18:19.612 --> 00:18:23.816
  • This exile that we are having he in texas with my family.
  • 00:18:23.816 --> 00:18:27.053
  • So many coincidences.
  • 00:18:27.053 --> 00:18:28.721
  • Yeah.
  • 00:18:28.721 --> 00:18:29.923
  • That are we are sure that god is controlling everything.
  • 00:18:29.923 --> 00:18:33.927
  • And if we are crossing this such period of time in my family is o
  • 00:18:33.927 --> 00:18:40.033
  • Preparing us for better moments, because when these things happen
  • 00:18:40.033 --> 00:18:44.671
  • A lot of people run away and the real friends
  • 00:18:44.671 --> 00:18:47.607
  • Come and stay together so you can see clearly who is wh
  • 00:18:47.607 --> 00:18:51.844
  • And got a better warriors for the next war.
  • 00:18:51.844 --> 00:18:54.647
  • Yeah. and you have such a great eduardo, about everything.
  • 00:18:54.647 --> 00:18:57.250
  • You're positive, you're upbeat.
  • 00:18:57.250 --> 00:18:58.651
  • You just got sentence from the s court in brazil over four years
  • 00:18:58.651 --> 00:19:02.689
  • You're saying, hey, we'll be oka
  • 00:19:02.689 --> 00:19:04.691
  • Part of your faith.
  • 00:19:04.691 --> 00:19:05.825
  • And i think just geopolitical common sense.
  • 00:19:05.825 --> 00:19:08.494
  • But it's a faith factor as well.
  • 00:19:08.494 --> 00:19:10.129
  • Is your family's strong support your father yourself,
  • 00:19:10.129 --> 00:19:13.967
  • Flavio, been just strong support of israel and the jewish people,
  • 00:19:13.967 --> 00:19:17.604
  • Especially during this perilous for israel.
  • 00:19:17.604 --> 00:19:20.006
  • Talk about why that is so important to you.
  • 00:19:20.006 --> 00:19:22.308
  • Because israel is in the frontli
  • 00:19:22.308 --> 00:19:24.344
  • What they try to do to israel is kill them all.
  • 00:19:24.344 --> 00:19:28.581
  • They will do the next chapter with the west so
  • 00:19:28.581 --> 00:19:33.286
  • We cannot
  • 00:19:33.586 --> 00:19:34.554
  • Be covered, and we need to be smart enough t
  • 00:19:34.554 --> 00:19:38.658
  • It's not a fight of the country,
  • 00:19:38.658 --> 00:19:41.828
  • Is a fight of the western hemisp the west civilization.
  • 00:19:41.828 --> 00:19:46.866
  • What's next for you?
  • 00:19:46.866 --> 00:19:48.201
  • Your father, your brother, and the bolsonaro
  • 00:19:48.201 --> 00:19:50.670
  • We are very confident that we ar to succeed in this election.
  • 00:19:50.670 --> 00:19:53.673
  • And thus my brother became presi
  • 00:19:53.673 --> 00:19:56.109
  • He can pardon me for the crimes that i did not commit in brazil.
  • 00:19:56.109 --> 00:19:59.846
  • Exactly. and also my father as w
  • 00:19:59.846 --> 00:20:02.482
  • And the prognosis and the over more than 400 peopl
  • 00:20:02.482 --> 00:20:05.752
  • That got convicted by this very supreme court.
  • 00:20:05.752 --> 00:20:10.623
  • But also
  • 00:20:10.623 --> 00:20:13.293
  • We can we can
  • 00:20:13.293 --> 00:20:15.295
  • So we can go back to brazil and have a at least quite normal
  • 00:20:15.295 --> 00:20:20.667
  • But we will have to a lot of a lot of fights.
  • 00:20:20.667 --> 00:20:23.169
  • And the prognosis is good because in this election,
  • 00:20:23.169 --> 00:20:26.139
  • We also will have a more right wing congress,
  • 00:20:26.139 --> 00:20:30.310
  • Which will allow my brother to execute way more policies.
  • 00:20:30.310 --> 00:20:34.681
  • Day my father, because during my presidency we had a tough congre
  • 00:20:34.681 --> 00:20:40.420
  • We have a lot of opposition.
  • 00:20:40.420 --> 00:20:41.688
  • So we are going to reduce this o way more support in the congress
  • 00:20:41.688 --> 00:20:46.125
  • I hope so that we can impeach al de moraes, this justice from the
  • 00:20:46.125 --> 00:20:50.663
  • Court, and rescue back again a n between the three powers in braz
  • 00:20:50.663 --> 00:20:54.734
  • Are you concerned at all
  • 00:20:54.734 --> 00:20:55.968
  • About civil unrest or anything surrounding the election or peop
  • 00:20:55.968 --> 00:20:59.906
  • We are always concerned about fr because we use a machine to vote
  • 00:20:59.906 --> 00:21:03.776
  • It's basically a black box.
  • 00:21:03.776 --> 00:21:05.411
  • It's not a possible to audit, but we are also working on it.
  • 00:21:05.411 --> 00:21:10.883
  • And the good news is that on the our electoral cou
  • 00:21:10.883 --> 00:21:13.786
  • The electoral court controls all the election in brazil.
  • 00:21:13.786 --> 00:21:17.490
  • The organize and they judge everything about
  • 00:21:17.490 --> 00:21:20.460
  • The seven judges there will be n judges not the same.
  • 00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:24.063
  • One of the last election.
  • 00:21:24.063 --> 00:21:26.933
  • In the last election, we had this guy at the moraes on
  • 00:21:26.933 --> 00:21:30.503
  • As the chairman of the electoral he's not that anymore.
  • 00:21:30.503 --> 00:21:33.272
  • Seems like he's a big problem.
  • 00:21:33.272 --> 00:21:34.907
  • Yes, he's always messing around.
  • 00:21:34.907 --> 00:21:37.043
  • So we think that we will have wa more balanced elections
  • 00:21:37.043 --> 00:21:40.213
  • And yeah, i'm confident.
  • 00:21:40.213 --> 00:21:42.749

  • The largest country in latin america is at a crossroads,
  • 00:22:18.984 --> 00:22:22.721
  • And the outcome could impact the entire western hemisphere.
  • 00:22:22.721 --> 00:22:26.625
  • From the fight against cartels and communist china to the defen
  • 00:22:26.625 --> 00:22:30.362
  • Of free speech, democracy and religious liberty.
  • 00:22:30.362 --> 00:22:33.698
  • But when i think of the bolsonar i think that throughout history,
  • 00:22:33.698 --> 00:22:37.903
  • The people who change nations we the people who refuse to give in
  • 00:22:37.903 --> 00:22:42.908
  • Folks, you know the verse second chronicles chapter seven, verse
  • 00:22:42.908 --> 00:22:46.545
  • If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves
  • 00:22:46.545 --> 00:22:50.248
  • And pray and seek my face, then i will hear from heaven
  • 00:22:50.248 --> 00:22:54.319
  • And will forgive their sin and heal their land.
  • 00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:57.689
  • That's a message for brazil.
  • 00:22:57.689 --> 00:22:59.391
