We are here at the presidential palace in Brasília, Brazil, a city famous to architecture majors the world over, a completely planned city, built in the late 1950s as a new federal zone in this sprawling country, Brazil. We’re here because this is the home of the president, Jair Bolsonaro. We just had breakfast with him, sat down with a fascinating interview with him that went on for more than an hour. We’ll have more on that in a moment. We’re going to speak to his son.
But we’re here in Brazil, broadcasting all week for a reason. If you’re worried about the future of the United States, this is a good place to come to get a glimpse of it or what it might look like, depending on what choices we make. Brazil and the United States have much more in common than we realize, both are huge countries. Brazil is actually larger than the continental United States. Countries with deep natural resources, diverse physical environment, diverse population, and a very divided political climate.
On one side, you have a nationalist party that’s currently in power now, which controls the executive in Brazil. On the other side, you have, in effect, a globalist party, and the tone of the politics here is bitter, and the stakes are very high. People go to prison in Brazil routinely when they lose elections.
But the reason we’re here is to take a look specifically at what China is doing in Brazil. All through Latin America and the Caribbean and, of course, all through Africa, China has effectively become the dominant colonial power, taking over countries, mostly through economic deals, trade deals, through the presence of Chinese companies, and then exploiting those countries for their natural resources and effectively controlling their political systems.
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION PREPARING FOR ‘WRONG KIND’ OF CHINA CONFLICT IN CASE OF TAIWAN INVASION: BOOK
Brazil is the last pro-American country of any size in Latin America, but it’s also the last country resisting China’s colonial efforts, and we thought that would be worth watching, considering what’s happening in our country and our relationship with China. Where’s the Biden administration in all of this? Well, the Biden administration has, in effect, done nothing to protect Brazil from China’s colonial interests. And in fact, they’ve done a lot to help China by weakening the relationship between the U.S. and Brazil, and by weakening America’s position in the world. They’ve done this quite aggressively. You’ve watched it. You’re living it.
Energy prices, which are the key to any economy, have skyrocketed. That’s happened on purpose. This administration has done that both with the sanction regimes against Russia and its emphasis on, “green energy.” As a result of those two factors, you’re seeing the biggest rising gas prices in American history. And at the same time, you’re seeing a move to green energy forms that we buy from China – solar panels, wind farms, the components for those come from China. So effectively, you’re seeing a transfer of our energy grid from American control to Chinese control. This is an attack on the most basic institutions in American life. This is handing sovereignty over to our main global rival. It’s bad for America. In fact, it’s the worst possible thing for America.
So in a functioning democratic system, this should be a problem for the people trying to do it. You can’t undermine the country you lead and expect to continue to lead it in a democracy and the Biden , knows this, and that’s one of the reasons that the signature tactic of the Biden administration, this is our topic tonight, has been the criminalizing of American politics.
Why have a political debate when you can just arrest people who disagree with you? And that has happened. Far below the media radar since the day Joe Biden was elected. And tonight, to show it, we want to go through a litany, a list of Americans who have been arrested,…
