America's Mayor Live (864): Democrats are Fighting Against Efforts to Ensure Only U.S. Citizens Vote
Rudy Giuliani and Eduardo Bolsonaro warn of systemic failures in Canada’s mental health oversight after the Tumblr Ridge school shooting, where an 18-year-old with violent history killed eight. They link transgender transitions to temporary dysphoria and question financial incentives behind gender-affirming procedures, citing $400K–$500K costs and FDA vaccine controversies. Bolsonaro fears Brazil’s 2024 election fraud, comparing it to Venezuela’s auditable paper trail, and warns of a potential PCC cartel-driven collapse—50 million immigrants could destabilize the U.S.—while praising Bolsonaro’s crime crackdown and economic policies. They urge stronger U.S.-Brazil ties over China’s influence, citing shared democratic values and past election irregularities favoring leftist leaders, before calling for prayer and rational discussion to preserve liberty.

This is Rudy Giuliani and this is America's Mayor Live live from Palm Beach.
And since we're covering in part the president's press conference this morning on, or was it this afternoon, it was right around noontime, I think, about the climate revolution in which the single most onerous regulatory burden ever placed on Americans was reversed with the signing of Donald Trump's signature.
The endangerment finding of Barack Obama in 2009, which has cost our economy probably a trillion dollars that didn't need to be spent and retarded the ability of our auto industry and many other industries to advance, has now been lifted.
So we'll get to that a little later in the show.
So the mass murder in Canada, in British Columbia, in Tumblr Ridge, at the Tumblr Ridge Secondary School, which was, even as these mass murders go, the toll was pretty high.
I mean, with eight people dead and 25 people wounded.
And six of the eight were children, 12, 13 years old, two adults, teachers, as well as the killer's mother and I believe either half brother or stepbrother, young boy, five years old or something.
This is not getting terribly much attention in America.
It's getting a lot in Canada.
So I went to the Canadian newspapers to get most of this information.
The murder was committed, the guy killed himself after he killed all those people, was committed by a trans biological male who was suffering from major mental illness,
who believed he was a female.
Van Rutzlier was his name.
He killed his mother, whose name was Jennifer Strang.
When the shooting took place, he was described as a female in a dress.
He's actually a male in a dress.
And he's had a very, very extensive history of exceedingly dangerous conduct, life-threatening conduct.
He has burned, he attempted to burn his house down.
It appears twice.
It's a little unclear the way the newspaper describes it.
One incident, I think he did a lot more damage than the other.
But he's been in and out of mental hospitals.
He's been numerous times taken in by the police with an attempt to confine him involuntarily, I guess, to mental institutions.
He keeps getting out.
At some point, a year or two ago, the police were called to the house, which they describe it as, the amount of police describe it as they've been called to the house many times with violent incidents that he was responsible for.
Jesse Van Ruetzler.
He's 18 years old.
He began his transition six years ago, which would be at 12, right?
At 12 years old.
He left the school in which he killed children about four to six years ago, about the time he was going through this, the beginning of this transition.
And it's been one violent incident after another since then, with someone that should be in a mental hospital.
I mean, there's no doubt about it.
This is a horrible, horrible situation that didn't have to happen if there was some degree of common sense in Canada.
But I mean, we have the same problem here.
So we can't be terribly judgmental about it because this has happened in the United States any number of times where someone does one of these mass murders and there's every indication in the world that the person should not be walking the streets freely.
Moderna's Controversial COVID Vaccine00:12:51
Now, the issue that's come up in the Canadian newspapers, just a tremendous amount of defensiveness about the fact that he's trans, that he's transgender.
And I would say that's the reason it's not getting much coverage in American newspapers, because of course they tend to conceal this.
And particularly since it's just a look of the drawer or there's a connection, we've had several of these now involving transgender or transgender related people.
But Charlie Kirk's murderer was living with a guy who was a girl and had a tremendous number of writings, very defensive and very angry about the whole transgender situation.
Either he or his girlfriend or boyfriend was a furry.
Now, a furry is not funny.
It's one of the genders.
And these people really believe they're animals.
Now, the lack of the way science was put aside here in the name of insane political ideology is a tragic consequence of the age we live in and the dominance of Marxism.
Because the end result of these Marxists is to destroy all standards that we have and have us live in a completely amoral, immoral society.
And communism doesn't have any morals and doesn't want any because it interferes with their dominance.
So let's analyze this, independent of political ideology.
For time immemorial, or for as long as even the budding science of psychology or psychiatry existed, gender dysmorphia was defined as a mental illness.
And of course it's a mental illness.
It's a form of paranoid schizophrenia.
Suppose I walked around thinking I was George Washington.
There are people that do, right?
I would be easily defined as a paranoid schizophrenic.
Well, if I am a male, which I am, and somehow I start believing I'm a female, There's a distortion in my reasoning and my thinking that's at the level of a psychosis.
The simple reality is that I'm not a female, but I think I am.
And I'm not George Washington, but I think I am.
Or I'm not able to fly if I jump off the building, but I think I can.
And the level and degree of the pathology might be less, in some cases, more, but it's a mental illness.
Then the question becomes, and here's where the debate takes place: is it a mental illness that makes you more prone to violence or not?
And I don't know the answer to that.
And I don't know if the killings that have taken place, the one in Nashville and the Catholic school shooting and that involved people that were transgender or deeply involved in the movement, if that's an indication of it, that's an indication that this is a form of mental illness that is more prone to violence than in other situations.
But paranoid schizophrenia in general makes you rather prone to violence.
That's what happens to homeless people.
And a lot of them are paranoid schizophrenics, and then they're on the street.
They're more and more isolated.
And as they get more and more isolated, they become more and more violent.
It may be in this situation, the more and more difficult it is for you to cope with this, the more some people tend to be violent and angry because they've put themselves and other people have misled them into a situation that is contrary to reality.
And they're living in an unreal world and they may not want to be there.
I mean, there was an article today, I think in the Wall Street Journal, by a transgender, a female who before the age of 18, who describes herself, the article you should actually read, it's really quite good.
She described herself and her friend as what we would call in the old days, way back when people were normal, we would call them a girl, a tomboy.
She liked playing baseball and she liked doing things that boys do.
That led them to start thinking with a lot of encouragement from the school and the whatever medical people they were talking about.
That led them to have a lot of encouragement towards maybe they're really male and they want to be male.
And she went ahead and had a mastectomy and hormone treatment.
And now at the age of 19, she regrets it.
She thinks that that was all a phase that she was going through, that the warped, almost satanic medical situation we have today led her to make irreversible decisions about her body or almost irreversible.
And she's suing the medical providers.
And I guess she's trying to follow up on the successful lawsuit in Texas of last week because she needs, she's not a wealthy person and she needs the money to get herself back to being a male, which is what she is.
And just last week, the Americans Academy of Of plastic surgery surgeons put out a report saying that similar to many European countries, including Great Britain, where it's illegal to do any of this before you're 19 or older, even with parental consent.
That the medical research now, a lot of it hidden in the United States and not dealt with, much of it happening in Europe where these changes are going on, indicates that the chances are overwhelming that when young people below the age of 18 start to doubt the reality of their body,
that it is temporary and that it most likely is going to change, and that the danger of suicide is much greater, not if you don't do the change, but if you do, and then as often happens, you end up in the situation that this person who wrote the article, or this person who sued, or many, many are in.
And that in fact, one of the things warping this, and this is not as often as it should be dealt with, but it's a terrible problem of our health, medical, industrial complex.
It's very profitable to do this.
There is a tremendous motive on behalf of medical staffs and hospitals to move you toward gender-changing surgery or treatment.
I mean, these procedures can cost $400,000 or $500,000.
And you're not too many things where you're going to get $400 or $500,000 in an era in which doctors and medical personnel think they're not being compensated correctly.
And we're long past, I hope, the idea that doctors are any different than anyone else.
Their level of greed and their level of lying and fraud and dishonesty is as great as any other group of people.
And since they're under great stress, it might be a little higher.
I mean, you learned that during the COVID situation in which the instructions coming out of the doctors who were following the desires of the pharmaceutical industry disregarded preserving human life.
But they made a lot of money.
A lot of people became millionaires, billionaires, and who knows what?
There's a whole thing now.
The FDA is turning down Moderna for another vaccine.
And the New York, I mean, the Wall Street Journal is all upset about that.
I think part of the reason is the FDA doesn't trust Moderna, given what they did with the COVID vaccine, which if you look at the research outside the United States or the research in the United States that's somewhat buried, there are a couple of things that are absolutely clear, whether you look at it or not.
It's a complete misnomer to say COVID vaccine.
A vaccine prevents an illness.
From the very beginning, after a month, maybe two, it was clear this vaccine didn't prevent COVID.
We were misled and lied to when Biden said, you know, this will end COVID.
And if you don't take it, you're endangering the lives of other people.
But then it got worse.
Then it was clear that this vaccine has side effects that were never properly evaluated before because it was exempted from the procedure that exists for testing a vaccine more carefully than usual medication because they're more complex and they can often have,
and this one was completely new because it wasn't using the tried and true method of giving you the illness and you develop then an immunity to it, giving you the illness at a minor, at a lower stage like they do with the older flu vaccines.
But this was readjusting your genetic makeup.
Now, we don't know the consequences of that.
That's actually the vaccine that the FDA just turned down.
Moderna is trying to do a vaccine like the COVID vaccine to substitute for the flu vaccine so they can pick up all the money that the companies get for the flu vaccine.
Since we don't mandate the flu vaccine, but we sure have an enormous amount of pressure to get it.
But the flu vaccine, as it's presently constituted, is an old-fashioned vaccine that theoretically gives you the flu, and then you're immune from it, except they can only make you immune to a certain number of possible flu varieties of, I don't probably not have the right word.
And it's guesswork as to which one we're going to be facing this year.
So sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work, but at least it doesn't have a catastrophic, in some cases, side effects the way the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines have.
So this is changing in America.
And I mean, due in great measure to the Trump administration and Robert Kennedy.
But this is a tragedy.
Now, we see it playing out in Canada that these kids, the minute they express any normal confusion about their sexuality, there is virtually an industry ready to rush them into the anti-operating room and start chopping them up.
Nato's Arctic Mission00:12:27
It's so bad that in the state of Minnesota, which got to be Sodom and Gomorrah, Minneapolis, Ted.
In the state of Minnesota, if you're, let's say you're 15 years old, you can run away from home, you can go there, and you can have a sex change.
And you don't have to tell your parents.
And Tampon Tim will protect you.
Largely because Tampon Tim, we won't go through it now, but we can anytime you want, is got to be some kind of a red Chinese agent and willing to do everything he can to destroy our civilization.
Because if you think of all the things he's involved in, and you look at his history with Red China, how many times he's gone there, and we don't know the dimension of how much money he's gotten from them, but he's gotten money from them.
And he's allowed to go back there and teach 15, 16 times.
If you're going back there to teach, you're teaching communism, baby.
I mean, you really are.
And they're very comfortable with you.
They're not going to let you go teach in China if you're going to go teach about Western civilization or about Christianity or about Judaism or about the history of the West.
You've got to go back there and reinforce communism.
And the only reason they let him come so many times, every time he came, he bore 50 or 60 kids that were being brainwashed by China.
This is intolerable.
But this is what's going on.
So when you hear about this trans situation, the end result of the distortion and the horrible things that have been done for these kids is to make a lot of money, which is maybe at the core of most of the wrongdoing that goes on.
Now, speaking of money, our economy is really fascinating to watch.
By and large, our economy is doing very, very well compared to our experiences.
Now, the numbers reflect that and reality reflects it.
There are some things where we are still recovering.
We haven't quite gotten through it yet.
And there are other things in which you haven't felt the full effect of the changes that have been made.
And they're beginning to kick in.
I'll give you one example of that.
The job numbers this month were fantastic.
We were supposed to create half the number of jobs that we ended up creating in January.
And there had been some weakness in the job numbers in 2025.
Part of the reason for that is that the federal government has fired hundreds of a couple hundred thousand people.
And they didn't find jobs right away.
Now we have an unbelievable situation in January.
There was a decrease of 48 or 49,000 in government jobs in January.
You would think that therefore would be a real impact on the creation of jobs.
But there were 160,000 jobs net created and all of them to the benefit of the private sector.
Now, why is that such good news?
That's good news because you're actually getting full value out of that.
With a government employee, when you collect taxes, right, you're paying him more or her more than the taxes you collect.
With a private employee, it's a full benefit to the federal government.
In other words, the government's not paying a salary.
The government is just getting the benefit of whatever the tax is.
And since we have distorted the federal government, and I believe there's probably at least 50 to 60% more employees than we need, there's an endless amount of cutting that can be done.
They have done a good job.
And the balance last month was fabulous between the two, probably the best balance we've had in maybe ever.
We keep doing that, and this economy is going to be, it's going to be impossible to really predict where it's going to be in four or five or six months.
But this is part of the transition that's going on.
And that part now is kicking in.
Meanwhile, the market is at a record level, which affects directly 54% of the American people.
It's no longer, oh, gee, the market's up, but it just helps the billionaire.
Go take a look at how most people have funded their retirement.
It depends on the market.
And they just had a tremendous year because of Trump.
And the tax reductions that took place haven't hit yet.
That's going to happen in April.
And the regulatory changes, which were substantial, and the one today, the biggest of all, some of that has had an effect on the economy.
And when you look at an inflation, which was a worry under Biden almost of historic levels, even the inflation that the president wasn't comfortable about was still less than 3% last year, which is usually considered a good year for the government, except if Trump is the president.
Now it's getting closer to 2%.
And all of the impact on inflation that was predicted is not happening.
Now, we're going to have an inflation report on Friday.
And I'm going to warn you there's a that they actually believe it's going to be pretty good.
But the reality is I don't because Januaries are terrible.
Januaries tend to, if you go back and you look at the January last year and the year before, and three out of four times, the January inflation is the highest inflation of the year.
Because think about it, the new year, and that's when businesses tend to increase prices if they're going to increase prices.
And that stops later on in the year.
And whatever the inflation in January is, is probably going to be the highest you have all year.
And it's going to start to go down.
So there's where we are on the economy.
And it's extraordinarily exciting to see what's going on.
It's also extraordinarily exciting to see what's going on in NATO and even in Canada, where we have Trump is putting tremendous amount of pressure on Canada.
First of all, they have a horrible government.
They have a left-wing government and a prime minister that is at the far end of silly.
And their economy is for shit.
However, one thing that we've done to them is we made them very aware of their defensive lack of capacity and the danger that they're in.
And in their budget this year, they have substantially, this is a left-wing government.
They substantially increased their military and defense spending.
Substantially increased them.
That's only happening because Trump is pressuring them so damn much.
And so is Europe because they're so afraid that Trump is going to invade Greenland.
He's virtually changed NATO into a really, not quite yet, a really full partner like Israel is and Japan is going to be.
But they're moving there.
They're moving there.
I mean, to get them to 2%, no president ever got them to 2%.
And now they're moving to 5% of their GDP invested in defense.
That will be a substantial benefit.
That'll give us a real partner in defense.
And we're not relying on that because we're moving to the highest defense numbers we've had since the Second World War.
But this Arctic Defense Force, believe me, this Arctic Defense Force would not be happening if he hadn't made all the fuss about Greenland.
So when he does these things, would you please look a little further beyond the Trump derangement syndrome, idiots?
So the North Atlantic Treaty Organization announced yesterday, this comes from a Canadian newspaper, by the way, that it has launched a mission to strengthen its presidence in the Arctic.
It's called Arctic Century Mission.
And this was going to be a temporary thing.
Now they're going to make it permanent.
And Canada has now announced through its defense minister, Anita Anand, that they wanted to, NATO's new century Arctic mission should become a permanent part as part of a greater focus on the North for the Western Alliance.
This comes from the foreign defense, the defense minister of Canada.
NATO announced Wednesday that it's launched its mission to strengthen its presidence in the Arctic.
And part of it is clearly to diffuse the tension between Donald Trump and his desire to take Greenland.
They're trying to solve the problems that Trump has raised as to why America should take Greenland because we're not adequately defended against Russia and China.
And Arctic Century is going to coordinate the military presence of NATO allies and the United States, including substantial number of exercises in the Arctic,
in which there are joint operations involving, and so far Britain, let's see, Britain and Belgium and Denmark.
And it looks like Germany have agreed to participate with the United States in missions testing exactly how much we have to increase in the Arctic.
And Canada is pushing this.
Canada, the Canada Defense Minister said, Canada's role in NATO has historically been one where we export our defense to Europe.
It's the moment in time where NATO must look north and not only east, where they must increase their presence in the Arctic area, because that's the logical way in which Russia or China would attack not just the United States, but Europe.
And also, they are presently deploying submarines in that area all the time.
And the number of defense installations for submarines is going to be increased eight to 10 times.
So as the Secretary General of NATO pointed out, this entire operation, and the Canadians have also made this point, is aimed at both Russia and China, which makes Prime Minister Kearney's dalliance with Red China absolutely stupid, which it's being done to irritate Trump.
And you don't endanger the national security of your country because you're angry at the President of the United States, because he's pushing you to do what you should be doing anyway.

Chile: United and Backed00:14:37
Welcome back to America's Mayor Live.
And we have with us Eduardo Bolsonaro.
Now, you know that name because his dad was elected president of Brazil in 2022.
And you'll also remember that shortly before he was elected president, it was an attempted assassination.
I believe he was stabbed.
He'll correct me if I'm wrong three or four times and almost lost his life.
And still a month later, went right back to campaigning and became president because it was so important to his country.
Because the prior president was in jail because he was a massive crook.
Well, the prior president was let out of prison on a technicality, not that he was not guilty, but that he was tried in the wrong place.
It would be like, you know, they tried him in New York instead of New Jersey, but he still stole an enormous amount of money.
Then they had an election in 22.
Yeah, yeah.
And in 22, Lula said he won the election, and every outside observer is quite convinced that it was stolen.
But worse than that, his father's now in jail.
But his brother, Flavio, who's a senator from Rio, he was a congressman from Sao Paulo, is running for president and is leading.
And to me, the biggest question is, number one, are they going to attempt to kill him?
And number two, how do you stop him from cheating like we had to do after the 2020 election so we can have a fair election in 2024?
That's a very good question, Mayor Frussia.
Of course, they attempted to kill Trump twice before the election.
Of course, a lot of people think that that was.
Twice that we know.
Twice.
Yeah.
And a lot of people think it's not connected to politics, but they're extremely naive.
The guy who stabbed my father, he's a former member of the Socialism and Liberty Party.
He's the kind of politician that when they did come here to the United States, they have meetings with Bernie Sanders, AOC, you know.
So the new mayor of New York, who's a full-fledged communist and Islamic supporter of Islamic terrorism.
Yes, it's the same virus that we have in the United States.
The problem in Brazil is that we have less anti-bodies.
So that is the problem that we have there.
And a very powerful Supreme Court.
And usually what our American friends ask us is, how can a justice be so powerful?
The Supreme Court legislates.
Everything.
They execute legislators.
Acts as the president and the legislature.
Yes.
But in the 2022 elections, Mayor, what happened is that they were fully backed by the Biden administration.
I have to tell you.
First, money from Lula fully backed.
Now, Lula is a complete, absolute.
I did some work in Brazil in 2013, 2014, when you had the Olympics, some security advisors.
And he and his whole party is completely corrupted.
They stole a lot of money during that World Cup.
And I thought they would never put him in jail because of the just the corruption.
It would be hard.
But they got him in jail and then they.
They released him from the jail because it's the only one that people could believe that could defeat Bolsonaro.
Because Bolsonaro was so strong, bringing so much people to the streets, to the railies.
So they released the Lura basically from the jail and put him as president.
And in 2022 election, not only Lula, but this justice, crazy one, his name is Alicia Jimorais from the Supreme Court.
So he was backed by the Biden administration.
One year before our elections, we received a lot of official visitings from the Biden administration in Brazil.
Victoria Nula and Bill Burns, which is the general director of the CIA, Jake Silva, NSA, Secretary of Defense Lloyd, and some others.
And basically what they did is, look, you have to recognize the result of the elections.
Other way, we are going to sanction you.
There is a very good article from the Financial Times.
So they cannot say that is a right-of-way radical newspaper talking in details about it.
A very, very good one, I have to tell you.
And money from USAID.
So at least one of the movements, it was $5 million that did arrive in Brazil to create our great fact-checking agencies in Brazil.
$5 million for that.
But these agencies, to finish this first...
It's so similar to what these crooks do in America.
It's the same playbook.
It's the same playbook.
And the reports made by this fact-check agencies, it was the reports used by the justice to shut down conservative, hundreds of conservative profiles on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.
So they do not have any more of this backed support from the Biden administration because Trump is here.
Not anymore the money from the USAID, the NAT, Atlantic Council.
And for sure, United States is going to be looking for that because democracy is not only go there and vote, because sometimes even dead people vote, right?
Of course, of course.
So I think that it would be a great thing.
I don't know if Trump administration, State Department, if you declare some standards to recognize a country as a democratic country.
Because if you look at Venezuela, Venezuela, they have Supreme Court.
They have elections.
They have a Congress.
But everybody agreed that it's not a democracy.
Yeah, I mean, a lot of the election rigging that goes on all over the world originated in Venezuela under Chavez.
Smart Matique in the past.
I know that I have problems with Domino here, United States.
And our election is fully electronic, Mega.
Fully.
You go to the place, you doubt the number of your candidates, then you pray that in Brazil, the 20 bureaucrats in a secret room are going to counter vote properly.
It's a mess.
I would be glad if we had the same system of Venezuela.
Because in Venezuela, they print the vote at least.
They use machines, but they print the vote.
And that's how Maria Corina Machado had a way to do a parallel counting of the votes and then prove that they won at least with 60% of the votes.
It would be very smart if you have the support of the international community to do that in Brazil.
Well, do you think you'll have international inspectors for the election?
You should.
Yes, yes, yes.
We usually do have.
But usually they go there and say, okay, everything is fine.
That's it.
It's like the UN.
I mean, they're basically.
I was going to say that.
It's like the UN.
Why the heck?
Why the heck is the Biden administration so interested in getting Lula elected in Brazil?
Because they're both Marxists.
They're left.
They are crazy theological.
I have to be honest with you, Mayor.
They're really communists.
I mean, we might as well be honest about it.
Hula, from the time he started, was a communist.
He's an old-fashioned communist.
Now he's very close of some of the globalists, but he's doing better things every time and every time that you see the United States and Trump getting one position, he's on the other hand.
Right.
And most of Latin America is moving.
And there have been a lot of conservative victories in both in Central America and in South America.
You just had Costa Rica, you have Chitoashfura in Honduras, Bukele in El Salvador for sure, Santiago Pay in Paraguay, Javier Malay in Argentina, now Caste in Chile.
It's our healing.
And Brazil is the biggest country.
Yes, we are half South America.
By a lot.
I mean, a lot of people don't realize you're not too far from the United States in terms of population.
No, no, no.
Some parts of Brazil, in the Amazon, it takes like five hours to go to Miami and more than five hours to go to the south of Brazil.
Right, right.
It's really close.
What's the population?
About 200 million or 200.
We are almost 220 million.
Yeah, so there you go.
So it's two-thirds of the U.S.
And it's by far.
What's the second?
Argentina?
Yeah, second is Argentina.
But Argentina is like about 50 million people.
There's a big, big difference.
We are four times more.
And we are way more, like 80 times more than Venezuela.
So if you are suffering here with immigration coming from Venezuela, you have a lot of good people, but you also have a lot of illegal, like Brazilians too.
Imagine Brazil.
If we bring these numbers to Brazil, if Brazil becomes Venezuela, we are talking about 50 million people leaving the country.
It will be a problem for the whole region.
Well, the original Venezuela immigration to the United States was very positive for the United States.
Yes.
Very negative for Venezuela.
They lost all their productive people.
Yes.
The one under Biden, when he opened the borders completely, was really organized by Maduro's government.
And they emptied out their prisons.
They sent us their mental cases.
And this follows the thing that Castro developed with Carter way back in, I guess it would have been 1978, 78.
I'm born in 84.
Yeah, before you were born.
When I first went to the Justice Department as the Associate Attorney General, I had a deal with the Mario boatlift.
Carter said you can, anybody from Cuba that wants to come to the United States should come to the United States.
And what we meant by that is to escape communism.
So Castro sat back and said, you want everybody?
I'll send you everybody.
Get my criminally insane, send them over.
And he very intelligently, more so than Maduro, very intelligently mixed him in with very honest people.
So if you look at the whole thing, it's roughly about 100,000 really great people who were escaping communism and joining their families in America that already escaped.
But then he threw in about 30,000 of his worst criminals, took them out of mental institutions, murderers, insane murderers.
And all of a sudden, Miami went from being one of the most peaceful parts in America, places in America, one of the most dangerous.
And it took a while to straighten that all out.
And that's a communist playbook.
I mean, it's part of what they do.
So now, what is your brother?
How are you organizing this so we so we make sure he's okay?
We make sure he's okay.
I mean, it's important for the world, it's not just important for Brazil.
Brazil, Brazil, like I mean, Brazil, really, more than any other country in Latin America, South America, could really have a real impact.
I mean, you could be a gigantic, you should be, and you could be a gigantic economy.
Yeah, and we cool to national resources.
No, well, I, you know, we just jumped right into this, Mayor.
And I just wanted to quickly go over Mr. Bolsonaro's background, if that's okay for our audience.
And a former former federal police officer.
So, our version of Congress, of course, federal police officer, lawyer, lawyer, the third child, right?
The third child of the former president, of course, Bolsonaro.
And I guess my one question for our audience, you based a large American audience, explain to our viewers the importance of having a strong government in Brazil, right?
A government that can work well with the United States and share some of the ideals that we share here in the United States.
Well, we have a lot of things to do together.
For example, Paraguay and Argentina with Pen Malay, they are cooperating with the United States in terms of security.
And one problem that we have is the presence of Hezbollah and Hamas on the tri-border between Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil.
For example, it's the border that I use after the bombing in 1992 and 94.
The Israeli embassy and the AMIA, they run away from that part of the country to fly back to the Middle East or North Africa.
This is only one point.
So, Argentina and Paraguay are cooperating.
I ask you why Brazil is not cooperating because Lula is tied with Hamas.
Lula is openly supporting Hamas.
It's the world leader that most talks about Hamas and against Israel because they are fully ideological.
It's a madness, just like you have it here in some radical left people in the Democratic Party.
So, this is one thing.
Other thing, we make border with the biggest producers of cocaine, which have a lot of impact here.
I know that you are suffering a lot with the drugs, with the fentanyl, and all of that.
So, instead of bringing this headache to the United States, maybe we could work in the roots and do not let these criminals be comfortable there in Brazil.
We can create cooperation in hair earths, which is very key for the United States, for the AI, AI, rare earths, those are very critical in the energy area.
There's a field to work together, right?
Right.
Can you get my map?
That's right.
We and the mayor, we were going to put up one of his map projects.
There it is.
So, there it is.
Look at the size of Brazil territorial.
That's half of South America.
Half of South America.
And in population, it's more than half.
In population, I mean, just compare 50,000?
Yeah, 50 or 45, 45 to 50 million.
The strangest one of all I've always loved since I was a guy.
I love geography.
It's Chile.
Me, too.
Chile.
Look at Chile.
Chile's in purple over there.
It just runs right.
I wonder how at its narrowest point, how wide is Chile?
But it runs right.
It just tracks Argentina.
Because they are between the Pacific and the Andes.
Mountains, I'm guessing it's very mountainous.
Yeah, the mountains are really high.
This is what from one part is Argentina, the other side is Chile.
Right.
Okay.
They produce very good wine.
It's a great country.
I love Chile.
Great wine.
Great wine.
But it's a strange configuration.
It must be a very like if you're a senator or a congressman, your district must be weird.
Look at that.
Look at the way it right.
The way it runs down.
Now that that has a good government, right?
Farc's Political Fallout00:10:16
Yeah, now, now, now, yes, now just got elected.
The inauguration is the beginning of March of the new president, Jose Antonio Cast, center-right-wing man, very good one.
And we are expecting good news policies coming from Chile.
For sure, a friend of United States.
It's a real tragedy for me because the place I worked the most in South America was Colombia.
Colombia, all right.
During the effort against the FARC, and who threatened to slit my throat, which I was very proud of.
Almora Ribio almost got done with the FARC.
Yeah, yeah, the FARC was done.
And then a terrible mistake in allowing him to come back into politics.
What a mistake.
Yes, Norway trying to do kind of mediation.
They didn't go to the ballots asking the people if they would like to pardon the FARC.
People said no, but the president at that time, Santos, he said, I don't care.
And he pushed forward.
And he pushed forward.
Yeah, and he pushed forward this agreement, which basically, I think we have one or two elections where the FARC, they create a political party and they have a quote of, I don't know, two, three or four seats in the Senate.
So people didn't agree.
I don't think it was the right thing to do.
People think it was a terrible mistake.
And Santos was the head of the police during most of Uribe's successful effort against the FARC and was a very guy.
And this was like a total shock and switch.
And a lot of it, a lot of it, sort of pressure and ridiculous advice from the international community.
And I think he was even going against his instincts when he did it.
This is a guy that was like no one was expecting that.
Well, except for Uribe, right?
He was the number two hero of the big effort against the FARC.
And then he got elected after Uribe.
Uribe had to, even Uribe tried to, who I love.
I mean, one of the greatest presidents in modern times.
But he was sort of flirting with a third term.
I think in Colombia nowadays, you only can have one term.
Two.
Two?
Two.
Two terms.
Well, even then, you could have two terms.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure, Mayor.
But so he, I helped, I helped Santos win his second election.
We went and did a we did a we did a crime reduction.
We did a crime reduction with Medellin.
And within a short period of time, we got it down by 52%.
In 2005, a constitutional amendment was passed allowing for one consecutive re-election, enabling President Uribe to win a second term.
However, in 2010, that constitutional court declared that the third term was unconstitutional, reverting back to the strict limitations.
And then Santos ran with Uribe's support and won.
Yes.
And then the two of them sort of, it was almost an ego thing.
They sort of separated somewhat.
And Santos wanted to go off on his own.
And he almost didn't win a second term.
And he used our success in two cities bringing down crime.
And he exaggerated how much we brought crime down in Medellin.
He said we brought it down 90%.
I think Medellin was an example of.
Yeah, but 52% was quite remarkable.
He said 90%.
We contradict him, which I felt really bad.
But he won.
And that's when he made the second term is when he kind of became much softer.
And I thought at the time, I sort of trusted him.
And I thought, well, maybe he knows something I don't know.
But it seemed ridiculous that you would allow these people back into at minimum, they should be banned from politics forever.
Yes, the only places that I see that reduce the criminality, there is the only way to do that is combating.
Yeah, but they were there.
Colombia was there, it was on its way to being a really, really successful country.
And then now we got another communist.
Now, the current president is really, I'm trying to think in a word that I can tell here in front of the cameras.
Yeah, he's very unpopular.
They've got my wife watching me and she said, oh, do not repeat this kind of word.
Sometimes I say bad words.
Oh, yeah.
Well, the cameras are here.
Unpopular is not a bad word.
You can say unpopular.
Unpopular words are fine.
Right, right.
The words that I'm thinking here are kind of exactly what it is to say.
Oh, my goodness.
Well, and for our audience, it's almost as if in Brazil, they were able to, the left wing was even more successful than they were here in taking down their opponents, right?
They tried to put President Trump in jail.
I mean, and we look, I truly feel somehow these people were at least involved in one of these assassinations.
It's the same playback.
Right.
It's the same playboy.
And in Brazil, they made it further.
We were fortunate that the president was able to win.
It could have been successful.
Well, if we didn't put the pressure on regarding 2020, they would have likely tactical mistakes.
First of all, Kamala Harris.
They shouldn't have indicted him.
Taking Kamala Harris, right?
They shouldn't have indicted him four times.
Thanks.
Thank goodness.
They shouldn't have done it four times.
But by the time you got to the second and the third indictment, unless you were a fool, you could figure out this was all political.
Right.
And they were actually, I think, going to indict him a fifth time.
And they didn't do it because they started to realize we're electing him.
People saw it through it.
If they had done just one case in the District of Columbia, it might have been very different.
It was completely in their pocket.
See, Mayor, in Brazil, the same thing.
They thought that jailing Jerry Bolsonaro would end with the right-wing movement there that my father leads.
But when you see his saying, okay, I cannot run because I'm in jail.
And by the way, the authorities that our opponents say that they're not going to repeat the same mistake of the United States, which means let Jerry Bolsonaro, who is the Trump from the Tropics, to run in the election.
That's why he's in jail because he's so strong politically.
But even though his son that he just appointed, like less than two months ago, he appointed my brother, who is a senator, Flavio Bolsonaro, to run for president in the elections that we are going to have in October this year.
And he's leading some polls or tied in all of the other polls.
So he's doing great.
And the campaign basically didn't start.
I mean, it's starting now.
Has your father become more popular as a result of putting him in jail?
I think so.
Toward him more?
Because you must understand what's happening, right?
Yes, yes, because in the end of the day, people realize you do not have anymore the monopoly of the mainstream media.
So people get information all around the social media or for internet.
Yeah, good.
And they see that how the bad things that they are doing, because sometimes you have drug dealers, murderers that are not treated like Jerry Bolsonaro is having now doing his service in the jail.
So people look for that.
It's like a Rocky Baboa movie, you know, when Hockey Babo is getting punched and punched and punched and everybody decided to cheer for him.
You know, in the end, we win.
So hope so.
And I hope God that we are going to win.
So, but this is the same feeling.
Because, for example, I'll give you one example.
Why Jerry Bolsonaro is sued in the Supreme Court?
He's a former president.
He's a common man.
Former president Lula Silva, former president Michel Temer, they were sued in a district court with a local judge.
Why Bolsonaro is in the Supreme Court?
So they changed.
So by sued, it's a criminal case, though.
Yes.
We use sue for just civil cases.
Oh, we would say indicted for indicted.
All right.
Okay, but that's very, I mean, it's a different system than ours, but the Supreme, our Supreme Court exists just for appeals.
The only trial that can take place in the Supreme Court is if two states, if two states sue each other.
Then that goes directly to the Supreme Court.
But everything else has to start in a trial.
You have to have a trial first, in a trial court.
Yep.
So they grabbed the case because they said that J. Bolsonaro was somehow related with January 8th events.
You had it here January 6th.
Yeah, right.
We had that January insurrection that was the only unarmed insurrection in the history of the United States.
Yes.
No guns, no shots.
And they jailed the ladies of more than 17 years old.
Yeah, I know.
We have ladies now serving.
And I should tell you, I knew that the night that it happened because I got a video showing that it was showing that it was obviously orchestrated.
And they deliberately killed a young lady.
It was terrible.
I wear her.
I remember former member of the military.
She was unarmed.
She was trying to get into Speaker Pelosi's office.
The police had more or less let them in.
The police were guarding it.
And then they just gave it up.
And there was no reason to shoot her.
There were like 13, 14 police officers around that easily could have stopped it.
And this guy out of nowhere shot her, and they kept his identity secret.
Shot in the neck, right?
Yeah, he shot her.
And he had to ignore two guys who were banging down the door who possibly were a danger to him in order to shoot her.
But I wear this all the time until they believe that the person, there it is, Ashley Battle.
Oh, there.
Right there.
That's Ashley right there.
Airbase Miles Round00:15:00
I keep that with me until there's justice in that case.
And there should be.
I come from New York City and the New York City Police Department never ever closes a murder case until they solve it.
They'll keep it open forever, 200 years.
Every once in a while, they solve one 40, 50 years ago, because life is so important.
It's a demonstration.
It used to be so important in Western civilization.
We've eroded the value of life in so many ways.
Sure.
But your dad, I mean, your dad, who I met several times, including, I think, at the UN knew each other and we were both crying.
Yeah.
He was talking about the stabbing that he suffered in 2018.
Because I just, I mean, I realized what happened to him.
And I also think that this is a great time for North America and South America, because this is the first administration that really is building very close relationships with South American countries.
Every president promises to do it.
Every president, since I'm a kid, would say, we don't pay enough attention to South America.
We pay too much attention to Europe and Asia, which we should, but we don't pay attention to our neighbors who could be enormously valuable allies.
And all of a sudden, now you see the benefit.
And I think a lot of it is the president who's always felt that way, felt the way I did.
But also Marco Rubio, who has, you know, in his heart coming from Cuba and he intensifies the president's focus on South America, make sure he gives it more attention than other presidents have.
And look at what's happening.
Yes, and everybody is not only expecting, it's bringing a lot of hope when you see someone from, you know, from is used to decide how much to listen about how bad is a socialism and dictatorship that his parents had in Venice in Cuba and having contact with people from Venezuela.
And we really believe that like Trump administration is something that it was sent by God.
Yeah.
Because I cannot even imagine if Kamala Harris got elected, what would it be about our region?
Like Iran, Israel, Brazil, Venezuela, Cuba, all of that.
It would be a mess because Biden administration, they messed it up so mine so much with all of the countries everywhere.
I travel a lot.
I've been in 50 countries all around the world.
I just came back from the Middle East.
I did go to Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Israel.
Everywhere, all the authorities, no one praised Biden.
No one say, no, no, this guy was great.
It's terrible.
It's terrible.
Yeah.
I mean, he was beyond.
I mean, I'm the one who uncovered his criminality.
For years, he got away with it.
And these people came to me from Ukraine, and then I investigated it.
And I uncovered the bribe that he got from Ukraine.
He and his son probably took $20 million out of Ukraine.
But the worst fault of all is Red China paid his family $20 to $30 million in the five years before he was president.
And one of the first things he did when he went into the White House was give up the airbase 400 miles from China, 400 miles from Iran, and 500 miles from Russia.
An American president giving up that airbase, it got to be crazy.
It got to be crazy.
Afghanistan, the withdrawal.
And Afghanistan, but we gave up the airbase.
We had no intention of giving up the airbase.
We've had that airbase forever.
And we have air bases all over the world.
We have our plane, super tucanos there.
He's got a base in Cuba.
We don't give up air bases.
It's ridiculous.
And for me, having been a prosecutor, if you've got $21 million and you give up an airbase that nobody else would give up, I can't believe there was a connection between the two things.
You're not going to convince me there's not a connection between the two things.
But I mean, someday we may really need that airbase.
Being 400 miles from China with an airbase is extraordinary.
Sure.
Now the closest thing we have is 14, 1,500 miles.
Right.
And you've pointed that out from the moment.
Well, the president points out.
And the president, of course, does as well.
So, Mr. Bolsonaro, how can our American audience keep in touch with you, follow you, see what you are up to in the days, weeks, months, years ahead?
I think our making a lot of change between now.
Do you have a primary?
Like you have a primary before your major right to the election.
Yeah, all of the political parties, they have the right to launch candidates.
So if someone wants to run for president, we have about 20 or maybe 30 parties.
All of them, they're not going to do that, but all of them, they can have someone running for president.
So my party already decided that my brother is going to run because also it was a decision that didn't come from my father.
And that's it.
We are very happy because in the polls, he's showing that he's great.
And on the other side, Lua will be the candidate again.
Yes, it's polarized.
It will be my brother against Lula.
Other other candidates.
Will have other candidates from the right wing and some of others left, but they do like the left they'll do one percent maybe, and on the right wing they will do five percent or six percent, but you cannot compare with the 40 something percent that my brother is doing right right, like in in the second round will be everybody together.
In Colombia they're trying very hard to see if they can consolidate behind one candidate.
Yeah, there are two main candidates there.
Yeah, opposition and the pro and the pro.
And the problem is you could, if you could, consolidate behind one, you'd probably win.
But if you spread it out and and the left can consolidate, you're gonna lose.
But the thing is uh, i'm not sure about how, how the election works in in, they have a, they have a primary in Colombia.
I, I don't know, I don't know mayor, I know there comes in may, I mean it's, it's very it's in may, it's very soon, very soon.
I mean on on our side, I can tell you that uh, it doesn't matter how many candidates we have from the right wing scenario, because all of them they will be criticizing Lula, which is good for us.
Yeah sure sure, sure.
So when you go to a debate, it's better to be together with I don't know two, three other candidates in the same vibration of you, with the same feeling of you, and then on the second round, everybody will be together.
So for sure, it doesn't matter, there is a second round.
Yes, three weeks after the first round, we have the second round.
No one gets 50.
Yeah, if no one reached 50, given given the number of candidates, nobody will get 50.
Yes, yes.
So uh, for us it's nice having more candidates for the right wing and uh, but you cannot kill each other.
You know, you can't, you cannot criticize that high in a in a way that you got to be careful right, you got to be.
But and um very, very often in a situation like that, in the first election uh, the number one person gets beaten by the number two, number two person.
I mean, that happens that people don't realize that system, but it's because you probably have more parties yes so, so if you have that first election, the votes can be divided a little bit more yeah, but then when you go to the second election, they consolidate.
Yeah yes, fair comparison it's, it happens.
It happens sometimes.
Yes, but we're, we're very anxious about both elections in Colombia and in Brazil a great deal and the thing is on the left wing, on the left side, Lula Da Silva he doesn't have anyone to help him.
In the second round, my brothers, we have some other governors right from the south of Brazil that might run for president, but everybody knows that in a second round it'll be all together.
So it makes it to make us very confident.
I'm very confident that my brother is going to win.
Father won the first time.
He was kind of an outside candidate right, I mean he had my father.
Yeah, because he was almost 30 years in the Congress in a very corrupt country with no corruption scandals uh, involving him.
So it was really unusual.
Yes, but you know the histatic is it's always avoid money, even even legal money, if you're from the private sector.
You want to bring money to my father for the campaign.
He was always saying thank you very much, but no, and then he survived these three decades in a congress.
It's like some people say that was like we still church and like only one talking the things that he was talking about, paying attention Cuba, paying attention Venezuela, dir cartels and all of that and in the end I mean he.
I think a lot of people still remember him, but he was when he was in, when he won and he was in office.
He was very popular in the United States.
Very now.
If I show you, people love even after when he still continues for a while.
But i'll try to find here some of his railies.
His victory uh, you know you can't pay attention to every country, but his victory, particularly because they tried to assassinate him, really resounded in the United States quite a bit.
The guy was really a month.
It was a month before the election, right?
One month before the election.
He didn't hit him.
How many times did they stab him?
No, he stabbed only one.
But the knife comes like 15 centimeters inside of the body, and the guy twisted.
I remember it now, yeah.
So the doctor said, so he was bleeding inside.
And the doctor said, like, two or three minutes more on the way to the hospital, he would be done.
Wow.
So he died twice.
And when he arrived in the hospital, he had in the emergency the right specialist that was needed.
He's the gastro surgery guy.
And but it was very tough time.
This mayor, it is like disease from last year.
So two years that he was no longer president.
He's in Sao Paulo.
He's in Paulista Avenue.
Wow.
Two years after he's no longer president anymore.
And this is the amount of people that go to the street.
Now I have a question for you.
Tough question.
Show that to President Trump.
Which is bigger, Trump Rayleigh or Bolsonaro Really?
I don't know.
I don't know.
The president was a small crowd.
You know, when he first showed it to me, I thought it was 6th Avenue.
Yeah, that's real.
Particularly at the very, very beginning, it looked like 6th Avenue.
It looked like 6th Avenue.
That does, right?
Right around the entrance to Radio City Musical.
And did you see the people saying thank you to President Trump and Rubio because they sanctioned the justice from the Supreme Court?
Thanks, Trump, Eduardo Figuerredo.
This is Copacabana Beach.
Israeli flag, U.S. flag, C's, everybody.
And this is not always say bring American flag to the Railly or things like that.
They just go there and show up with the flags and with the signs.
It's just, let me see if the people can see.
You have a lot of.
Yeah, and I can find some of them.
I'm looking right now.
Wow.
That is remarkable.
I mean, what is that?
About 20 or 30 blocks?
We were looking at that.
Was that about 20 or 30 blocks of people?
Sorry, Mayor.
How many, how far was that?
Those people that we were looking at, it seemed to me it was about 20 blocks.
I'm sure that only the biggest ones, it can reach almost that.
This one here, I would say, I don't know, 10, 12 blocks, maybe.
Wow.
I think, I think.
But more than one million people on the streets.
This is São Paulo.
The last one was Rio, but the one that you saw with the drone from Sao Paulo.
Yeah.
but it's uh it's amazing
Brazil is a city of 2 million and a half, 2.5 million people.
You had huge support from the farmers.
They're praying.
So is it similar to the United States where the more rural areas tend to be conservative and the city areas tend to be liberal and left-wing?
Same thing, yes.
But coming from Rio, your father probably has a fair amount of support.
Yes.
In the surrounding areas of Freedom.
Yes.
As I recall, right?
Yes, that's right.
That's right.
I'm elected by the state of Sao Paulo, but all of the rest of my family is from the state of Rio de Janeiro.
I usually, I also have a have a joke because my father, he born in Sao Paulo when he became an army captain.
He didn't go to the army, so he goes to the border with Paraguay and then was transferred to Rio, where he started his political car here.
I'm from the other way.
I born in Rio or the federal police work.
I stayed five years in the federal police.
No, no, no, I started in the border with Bolivia.
The border, okay.
And then I was transferred to São Paulo.
So we switched.
He's from Sao Paulo and got his political car here in Rio.
I'm from Rio and I got my political car here in Sao Paulo.
How long were you with the police?
Five years.
And did you do a lot of drug investigation?
Yeah, basically, it's what do we do on the border?
Because Bolivia is one of the main producers of cocaine.
Because we have the largest criminal organization of Brazil is the PCC.
By coincidence, it's not the Chinese Communist Party.
It's Primero Comando da Capital.
And what they do is they kill the competitors and they control the routes from the main producers of cocaine to Sao Paulo, Rio, which are very big cities, a lot of consumers, and then export to the rest of the world.
Mainly, they go to the Middle East, to South Africa or Europe.
Not to the United States.
Some to the United States.
But you have also some ports on the Northeast or they use, you know, they go through the sea to Mexico and then from Mexico to here.
In my day, when I was in drug prosecutions, most of the United States came from Colombia, Mexico.
Brazilian Cartels Control Cocaine Routes00:09:57
Yeah.
And most of Venezuela, Bolivia, most of that went over.
Because it doesn't make that much sense to bring it to Brazil to then go to the United States because they have their own roads going to the U.S. and going to Mexico.
It's easier.
You get a plane or a boat and do that.
And now the Mexican cartels have taken over what the Colombian cartels used to do.
They just Mexican cartels are very, very sophisticated.
When I was a prosecutor, they were sort of like subordinate to the Colombians.
Yeah, they were in association.
Yeah, and then they were sort of lower level and the Colombians really ran everything.
And now it's totally different.
Mexican cartels are represented now in every American city.
They infiltrated the U.S. In the old days, they were in Mexico, but they didn't penetrate the United States.
But now almost every city has representatives of the Mexican cartels.
And then when we had our whole four years of open border, can you imagine what they brought in?
I mean, can you imagine?
I mean, it's like a it's like, okay, well, wide open.
It's like if you're if you're a city that has numerous burglars and every door is left open of every house, they just no, this policy of no borders is unbelievable.
And even last year, we saw for the very first time the presence of our cartels here in the United States.
Pen Bonditon can talk very in details about it.
There was an operation here in the U.S. called Take America Back.
And for the first time, we saw more than 10 criminals from the PCC here in South Carolina, Florida, Massachusetts with illegal guns and fentanyl.
And it was, I got surprised because usually, as you know, they work in association with other cartels, but not, they do not run, you know, Brazilians running the drug market by their own.
It was the first time, which I got not only surprised at, but as an American, you should be concerned about that because if they are doing that with this presence here, it means that they are sophisticated enough to become then.
Maybe very soon you're going to talk about not only the Mexican cartels or the cartels from Colombia, but also the Brazilian cartels here in the United States.
And they are very good because they pay, for example, they pay the university for the lawyers.
So you became a lawyer with the money off of the cartels.
The laundry money very sophisticatedly.
They are great in what they do.
Right.
You should open your eyes for the Brazilian and the Brazilian cartels.
And why Lula is not cooperating with U.S. in this issue?
He's probably involved with them, but certainly controlled by them.
Mexico, she's afraid of them.
I mean, they kill her.
But that's been true of the Mexican president since I can remember.
I mean, they go too far and the cartels are more powerful than the government in Mexico.
Yes, Mexico is other level.
I mean, they're not that deep in Brazil, in the Brazilian administration.
A little bit for sure.
Yeah.
But they're not in the level of Mexico.
We use even the word Mexicanization, but Mexico is tough.
Well, back before, maybe before you were born, Colombian cartels were so powerful.
And this is what got the government determined they had to break them up.
They went into the Supreme Court and they killed 19 judges.
Yeah, I remember that.
What kind of Supreme Court?
I mean, I saw in the series.
To assert to basically say we're really in control.
But it was the biggest mistake they made because that actually convinced enough people there.
We've got to take it back now.
I mean, this is ridiculous.
How are we going to survive?
Taking the judges out.
Yeah.
That's why I like Bukay Franel Salvador.
Yeah.
He did the job.
He did the job.
This man is unbelievable.
And I think, yeah, we reduced in one-third the number of murders.
It was the biggest drop ever in the whole history of Brazil.
In the same time that we were giving more access to legal guns.
Yes.
So after 90 years, almost 100 years, for the first time, a civilian in Brazil could buy a rifle.
For the first time, farmers could buy pistols and rifles and avoid the invasions.
We are using in Brazil socialist movements.
They invade hundreds and hundreds of farms every year.
On the first year of my father as president, do you know how many invasions did we have in Brazil?
Five.
From, I remember on Jima's who's self-time, Liberals' Party, it was about four to five hundred.
Bolsonaro, five.
Yeah.
Why?
It happened right away.
Yes.
And we did the other thing.
Like these people usually they claim for lands.
And we did this job properly on the way that we can identify who really has the right to have a land and give the piece of land that by the constitution they deserve.
So what we did is the movement that the socialism used to invade the lands was empty because people start to receive their lands.
The left, all its promises, they never deliver.
Of course not.
And we deliver what they promised.
The left needs poor people, people impoverished and dependent.
They can't exist.
I mean, that's what the Democrat Party-that's the problem they have.
They have to have a dependent population.
And if you go back to the beginning of our poverty programs under Lyndon Johnson, we have spent so much money on poverty that every poor person in the United States should be a millionaire.
Except most of that money went to politicians.
And that's why they go into Congress worth the $200,000.
They come out worth $20 million.
People wonder, gee, how could that be?
As a formal prosecutor, I can tell you, don't be naive.
The reason is that they steal the money that's going to go.
That's supposed.
And I think that's being exposed now in Minnesota.
By the billions.
People couldn't, even when it was only at a billion dollars, the small little Somalia community stole a billion dollars.
It's really 9 billion.
It's absurd.
It is a rich country.
But in any believe it or not, they didn't invent it.
They learned that.
From other that are doing that all over the country.
It's the reason our budget is so high.
It's like Regan said, the most terrifying words that you can listen is someone from the government knocking your door and say, I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
That was my boss.
But you know, please keep us informed because we want to do anything we can to help to help save as your family is doing your country.
Your country is a great country.
It could be an unbelievable asset to America, the United States of America, to the world, and to itself.
Now it's an asset for China.
Look, the three things that we most send to China is oil, food, and iron.
If you know that, if you have a war, what do you need?
Food for the troops, iron for the machines, and oil for the energy to move everything.
And for the whole history of Brazil, Mayor, going to the end, I do not want to interrupt you.
Sorry.
Going to the end.
Since 1822, when you got our independence, and by the way, United States was one of the first countries to recognize the independence of Brazil.
Since then, the number one trade partner of Brazil was the United States.
On 2008, on the second term of Lula da Silva, the current president, then China became our number one trade partner.
So what we need is to switch.
Is that true now?
Is that true now?
Has that remained?
Is that true today?
Yeah, yeah.
Today, China is number one.
United States is number two.
So if you take out this ideology and be connected with the United States, because we have way more, our culture, it has way more in common with you than with China.
Yeah, sure.
We want to keep trades with China.
That's fine.
We can earn money.
But doing trades with China is not the same thing to do trades with the United States.
Some of the farmers sometimes send soya grains to China and they say, oh, when the ship was in the middle of the Pacific, they told us that they need to reduce 20% the price of the products.
Come on.
And then what do you do?
Because you cannot have an option to send the ship full of soya grains to other country.
You need to find other buyer.
And sometimes they take the offer.
So I think we would be way more connected.
It would be way good for both countries.
It would be.
I mean, and for us, when you look at the way South America is turning, it would be a shame if the biggest country in South America wasn't part of that.
I mean, you could affect the rest.
Imagine Argentina, Brazil, and U.S. together.
If both Brazil, if Colombia and Brazil both make the right decisions in the next election, the whole continent will change.
Yes.
It's changing, but that would accelerate it tremendously.
It would be unbelievable.
Again, just look, I mean, look at the sizing of your country.
I don't think most people realize how much bigger Brazil is than the rest of South America.
Amazon Forest is bigger than the whole territory of Europe Union.
Well, thank you very, very much.
Thank you, Miriam.
Italian Descendants' Journey00:08:37
It's a honor.
God bless you.
I'm glad to be here.
God bless you and take care of you.
Thank you very much.
And take care of your brother and your father and the rest of your family.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You're dealing with horrible people.
And I have every confidence that assuming you have anything close to a fair election, the people of Brazil is very smart.
That's all we're doing, and they're smart people.
And this is a shame what's being done to them.
It's a shame.
Next year, we're going to be back here in the White House.
Yeah.
And then at Mar-a-Lago, having a great dinner with the future president of Brazil together with the president of Nazi.
So I want to go to Sao Paulo again.
I have a picture, which I, when I, when I was when I was invaded by the FBI who came in and searched my house and my law office, they took all of my cell phones and they destroyed a lot of the pictures on it accidentally.
They really did.
I mean, accidentally, in their haste to try to make sure that, try to figure out what kind of crime they could develop on me, which they never did.
They eventually had a right to the grand jury.
They break into my office.
They break into my law office.
In America, in order to do that, you have to have probable cause that a crime was committed.
So somebody had to certify to the judge that the crime was committed.
Two years later, they had a right to the grand jury that there was no probable cause to have a grand jury investigation.
So how could they have had probable cause two years earlier and disappeared?
Now they won't give me the affidavit because I want to sue.
I can't get the affidavit.
But in any event, the reality is that in just a very short time, and that's why I understand how your father very quickly made the changes that happened originally there when he first got elected.
I mean, look, we were getting an average of one of Biden's years, we got 3.5 million that came over the border illegally that we know about.
And most of the studies of the border say another 50% come over that you don't know about.
So just say half.
So we almost had 5 million people that came in illegally.
Last year, first year on the Trump, it was almost nothing.
It was like a couple hundred right away.
Boom.
They even stopped before he came into office.
They figured it's over.
Everybody thought they're going to make a big run for the border like in the month before Trump came in while Biden was here, but they actually just gave up.
And the last month of Biden, the last month of Biden was one of his lowest.
I didn't come here and they didn't jump the wall, right?
I'm legal.
Well, he's very legal.
And at one time, we used to think of his father as the only honest person in Brazil, the only person you could trust.
His family is remarkable.
He's remarkable.
His father is remarkable.
His brother is remarkable.
Thank you, Mayor.
And like me, he's third generation Italian.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So my grandparents were born in Italy.
My parents here.
And so I'm my second generation.
I'm second generation.
You're third generation.
Yes.
So what you, so where do they come from in Italy?
Apart from Veneto, part from Lucca.
Wow.
Wow.
Northern Italy.
Yeah, north.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Half my family was from Florence and half my family was from Natanapoli in Ticilia.
Well, yeah.
They helped the U.S. in the Second World War.
Half of my family was from Naples and from Avellino.
Avellino is a mountain area, a separate province, but to the east of Naples.
All right.
It's about an hour and a half out of Naples.
It's a mountain country.
It's where the great earthquake happened about 20, 25 years ago.
It's a mountain area of southern Italy.
So my part of my mother's family comes from there, part from Naples.
And then the other family comes from Florence and Monte Cucini.
And my wife is also Italian descendant.
Well, I don't know what city.
But Brazil has a lot of Italian people who are ethnic Italians, right?
A very large percentage.
If you look through her, you're going to see she is Italian.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Oh, the kids are beautiful.
This is Georgia.
She born in 2020.
She looks just like my granddaughter.
And when she born, Trump lost in Georgia, lost that election.
And people start to.
Well, now we know he won.
Yeah, now we have to figure out exactly how much people may joke with me.
Hey, Eduard, do I know that you like a lot of Trump?
So Trump lost in Georgia.
Are you going to change the name of her daughter?
Yeah.
Well, you can tell them that now we can basically get the ballots.
So in Georgia, there's no question that they put in 100,000 phony ballots.
From the day that the election happened, we wanted to have a chance to examine them, the Trump people.
To this day, we've never seen a piece of paper in Georgia, right?
Even to this day.
And we've had to go to court to get, and they're fighting it in court.
They're still fighting it.
Yep.
And we've never seen a piece of paper in Pennsylvania.
Now, if you were accusing me of fixing an election by putting in phony ballots and my ballots were fine, I'd give them to you right away.
I wouldn't spend $10 million to try to stop you from getting them.
So, I mean, I don't know what you need to prove to people that the ballots are phony as hell.
I remember this county in Georgia reminded me of the county in Bolivia.
Because in Bolivia, it was like the first and the second candidates like running and the counting coming, coming, coming, and then stopped.
And then you have the line of the graphic.
And then when it starts to count again, the second became the first by far.
Boom!
That's exactly come on.
We weren't allowed to testify.
But in Bolivia, they could get out of here for Morales from the country.
We had numerous experts that could show that with a pattern.
It's impossible.
The same pattern in Georgia, the same pattern in Pennsylvania, the same pattern in Michigan, the same pattern.
Also, on the night of the election, in all the places that determined the election, President Trump was ahead by anywhere.
In Pennsylvania, he was ahead by 750,000 votes.
Statistical experts would tell me it's statistically impossible to steal enough votes to make that up.
The same election.
They didn't know how crooked they are in Philadelphia.
They had no idea.
But every single place where he was ahead, after they started counting, threw people out, threw Republicans out, he won everyone.
What's the statistical possibility to win every single one?
When my father lost the election, we built the biggest conservative caucus since, I don't know, the last 30 years.
We elected the main governors of Sao Paulo, Rio Janeiro, and some other cities.
Everything was perfect.
Only the president we lost.
Yeah, yeah.
Unbelievable.
Yeah.
Well, we've got a lot in common, unfortunately, in a bad way.
Hopefully, and I think it will happen.
We're going to have the same thing in common in a good way.
Let's see.
We are very hopeful what Madura is going to talk.
It's going to help the whole region in terms of elections.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He knows everything, right?
He knows a lot.
Yeah, sure.
Well, thank you very, very much for joining us.
And God bless you and your family.
And we'll be back tomorrow night.
And we'll be on Wendell TV at seven.
We'll be here at X at eight.
And gosh, there's plenty to there's plenty to cover.
And this was this is remarkable.
I mean, I think most people who watch this show know the significance of his dad in Brazil and what he meant for Brazil and what this next election will mean for them.
It's very exciting and very wonderful to see these things happening with our neighbors and our friends.
Pray For Their Success00:07:34
So pray for them.
Thank you, Amir.
Pray for their safety and their success.
And pray for the people in Ukraine and pray for the people in Israel and pray for the people in Iran who have been living under this insane religious theocracy for so long and they're being killed left and right.
So just pray for them and pray for us and pray for our president that he has the strength and the will and the fortitude to do all the difficult things he has to do.
He has it, but he needs God's help.
God bless America.
Welcome our brother, Robert Richie.
Was that the?
You do some large mouth fishing another
time.
You got too much on your plate to fate and cast a line.
You can all get his hand till you can't, you can't.
You can keep on forever with that girl whose heart you hold.
Swearing that you'll ask someday further down the road, you can always put a diamond on her hand till you can take care.

If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back.
If you're gonna love somebody, hold them as long and as strong and as close as you can.

Now there's a box of greasy parts sitting in the trunk of that 65 still waiting on you and your grandpa to bring it back to life.
You can always get around to fixing up that old body act till you can take care.
If you got a chance taken, take it while you got a chance.
If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back.
If you're gonna love somebody, hold them as long and as strong and as close as you can.
Take care.
Take care.
You know I awoke one Sunday morning all alone with this song stuck in my head.
And in that moment, something or someone spoke to me.
They said there was still a verse that needed to be written for this song.
and to get up to write it down there's a book that's sitting in your house somewhere that could use some dusting off There's a man who died for all our sins, hanging from the cross.
You can give your life to Jesus and he'll give you a second chance till you can.
Take care.
If you got a chance, take it.
Take it while you got a chance.
If you got a dream, chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back.
If you're gonna love somebody, hold up as long and as strong and as close as you can.
Take care.
Take care.
If you got a chance, take it.
Take it while you got a chance.
If you got a dream, chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back.
If you wanna love somebody, hold up as long and as strong and as close as you can.
Take care.
Until you care.
It's our purpose to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion to the issues of our day.
America was created at a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, anger, hatred.
It was a book written in 1776 that guided much of the discipline of thinking that brought to us the discovery of our freedoms, of our God-given freedoms.
It was Thomas Paine's Common Sense, written in 1776, one of the first American bestsellers, in which Thomas Paine explained, by rational principles, the reason why these small colonies felt the necessity to separate from the kingdom of Great Britain and the King of England.
He explained their inherent desire for liberty, for freedom, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the ability to select the people who govern them.
And he explained it in ways that were understandable to all the people, not just the elite.
Because the desire for freedom is universal.
The desire for freedom adheres in the human mind and it is part of the human soul.
This is exactly the time we should consult our history.
Look at what we've done in the past and see if we can't use it to help us now.
We understand that our founders created the greatest country in the history of the world.
The greatest democracy, the freest country, a country that has taken more people out of poverty than any country ever.
All of us are so fortunate to be Americans.
But a great deal of the reason for America's constant ability to self-improve is because we're able to reason, we're able to talk, we're able to analyze.
