[00:01:13]  Hello, everyone.
[00:01:14]  I'm Liz.
[00:01:15]  Oh, now you're low energy, too?
[00:01:17]  I'm just trying to meet you halfway, buddy.
[00:01:20]  We are joined by young Chomsky, who's ensconced in darkness right now, lit only by the glow of his computer screen.
[00:01:26]  Dark.
[00:01:27]  Bright white t-shirt, though.
[00:01:28]  Yeah, And a weird symbol on it, but I don't even know if I got to get into that.
[00:01:35]  The podcast is called Truanon.
[00:01:37]  Yes, Truanon.
[00:01:38]  Hello.
[00:01:38]  Welcome, everyone.
[00:01:40]  Welcome to the end of her story.
[00:01:43]  We are finally, finally.
[00:01:45]  Declaring the end.
[00:01:48]  Yeah, as Operation Car Wash was first put into practice on taking out Dilma.
[00:01:53]  We have subsequently, my spider organization, not the Spider Network, although it does share every single member of the same, that spans the globe has systematically taken out Teresa May.
[00:02:06]  We got Angela Merkel coming next.
[00:02:08]  We prevented Hillary Clinton from being president.
[00:02:13]  Our project is never ending because if history has to end, we'll tell him for yours too.
[00:02:20]  That was very cute.
[00:02:21]  That was very funny.
[00:02:24]  We're doing a talking one today.
[00:02:26]  Yeah.
[00:02:27]  Yeah, we got an interview.
[00:02:30]  Let's just get into it, having finally battered our way through columns of gyrating asses to loud, pulsating Reggaeton music,
[00:02:58]  which I assume is what people gyrate to down there.
[00:03:01]  I'm not very well traveled.
[00:03:02]  We have made it to what we call the Sao Paulo Forum 2, because due to time constraints, we couldn't come up with a different name.
[00:03:11]  So we figured it would work too.
[00:03:13]  Joining us at this forum, we have.
[00:03:16]  Alex, oh, God, forgive me for what I'm about to say.
[00:03:19]  Alex Hokali, writer and research.
[00:03:24]  I got a thumbs up for that.
[00:03:25]  Writer and researcher based in Sao Paulo, co-host of the Alpha Bungabunga Global Politics Podcast and co-author of the forthcoming book, The End of the End of History.
[00:03:37]  This is the end of the beginning of the interview, Alex.
[00:03:42]  What's happening, baby?
[00:03:43]  Thank you for joining us.
[00:03:44]  Can you repeat that?
[00:03:45]  I couldn't hear you over the very loud reggaton music in the back.
[00:03:48]  It's just constant here.
[00:03:50]  It's not even Brazilian music.
[00:03:51]  It's imported, but they just do not stop playing it.
[00:03:54]  I'm well.
[00:03:54]  Thank you.
[00:03:56]  For those who can't see, there is like an Escher type image in the back of Alex of just butts on butts on butts on butts.
[00:04:05]  That bit is correct, actually.
[00:04:07]  Yeah.
[00:04:07]  What a weird job we all have.
[00:04:09]  Okay.
[00:04:10]  Well, we have a lot to get into with you, including talking about not just your forthcoming book, like Bryce mentioned, but a piece you have in American Affairs this month called The Brazilianization of the World.
[00:04:24]  But before we get into that, because you're in Sao Paulo, I want to take this as an opportunity to kind of talk to you about what's going on down there.
[00:04:34]  Like, the last time we even kind of talked about Brazilian politics was a long time ago.
[00:04:39]  We had Vince Bevins on the show where we were sort of just talking about, I mean, what was like sort of the beginning of the Bolsonaro administration's reaction to COVID.
[00:04:54]  And now sort of, I think we're almost like a year out from when we talked to Vince.
