5:30 pm
fact that the brazilian government sent the cuban doctors away. and that president raul castro decided to call doctors back is because he does not agree with the fascist who ruled brazil. i know that the cuban doctors could have helped many countries around the world because cuba has many more doctors proportionally to its population than any other country in the world i am very proud of belonging to the political party that brought doctors from cuba to save lives in brazil and to cast in the poor population in the periphery around our country. now because it could have been you that was president presiding over the coronavirus in brazil it's a long story but very briefly why is it who is president and not who is in power as you know action in brazil some important things took place that the world needs to know about. for the 1st time in its history during my government. brazil became
5:31 pm
an international player. brazil had created. demonstrating a beautiful relationship within south america. brazil had developed a relationship between south america and africa. between south america and the arab countries. brazil had taken part in the creation of the brics. brazil had created i . was becoming an international player and that is something that the americans never allowed. now brazil is returning to the colonial period. after the coup on president dilma they would never want to have lula back as the president of the republic to continue our domestic social inclusion policy. and our international protection is in policy. they want brazil to continue to be a colony. so they conjured this law i called the car wash operation against me
5:32 pm
they invented a large airing the procedure they condemned me without any evidence i prove my innocence and i am waiting for them to prove any guilt on my part i have challenge the federal prosecutor and the judge who headed my trial. but i am much more concerned with brazil at this moment. we had to eliminate hunger in brazil and hunger has returned. yet we were in the process of raising education in this country and now we have a great setback in education as well as in science and technology. we have major setbacks in the environmental legislation in deforestation and in the preservation of our forests and our water sources. obviously brazil would be better off if i had been allowed to be a candidate. they withdrew my candidacy for president with a legal procedure. because they knew that if i ran in the elections i would have
5:33 pm
won in the 1st round. and here in brazil a part of the country's elite cannot stand to see poor people eating in restaurants . or traveling by plane. or buying cars. they cannot stand to see poor people ascending. which is what we did through hundreds of public policies to improve the lives of the poor people in this country . i am proud that the president of the united nations acknowledged that brazil i had eliminated hunger i am proud that in 2010 brazil was the country with the highest level of hope in the world with the happiest people in the world because we had so many expectations so many dreams and brazil was about to become the 5th global economy. now we see brazil experiencing
5:34 pm
a rise in poverty. people are hungry in sao paolo in rio de janeiro and all over the country people have gone back to the streets wages dropped drastically and unemployment has risen. this is the country of the fascists who rule it. i want a democratic country a sovereign country a country where people are happy and proud to say that they are brazilian well did you not regret leaving those very elites in power in your 2 terms as president and . leaving them in power to prosecute you both was that your greatest mistake. i won an election i did not start a revolution i do not believe that to metalwork a like myself could have become president of the republic if it had not been for democracy and if it had not been the most of all for democracy and for the
5:35 pm
brazilian peoples comprehension and maturity when they voted. i confess that i ruled for all. i doubt that there was any moment. in brazilian history when everyone benefited so much. that it is true that business is one. it is true that bankers won. it is true that they'd landowners won but it is also true that the poll workers want to. we have the greatest wage rise for the poor people jerry my government the greatest rise in education we are already known in history as the government that built the greatest number of universities and technical schools that invested the most in science and technology and for sure we must have made mistakes or else there would have been no coup against president obama. the coup was the
5:36 pm
beginning of a new attitude in brazil. in my opinion it was organized by the u.s. department of justice. with the participation of the cia. we have video recordings. set the intercept is publicly exposed all the scams of the federal prosecutor and judge maura. and the participation of the u.s. d.o.j. . in destroying the construction and engineering segment in brazil. the gas industry in brazil. and the country's politics. because the us never accepted the fact that brazil would become an international player. you must remember that the us and europe had a hard time dealing with iran. because they could not reach an agreement with regards to your own human richmond. actually i'm
5:37 pm
a marine and i went to iraq with the president of turkey. and we were successful in convincing iran to accept an agreement which was better than this deal that was signed by the americans and the european union. regretfully when we proposed the agreement. and i expected that the u.s. and europe would find brazil and turkey. yet. instead they applied more sanctions against iran. might be in a clear demonstration. that they were telling us that brazil is a small 3rd world country. that cannot meddle with major countries if as. well the right wing the media the said it's worth destroying brazilian companies if it root out corruption you mentioned. the the justice minister of also narrow as well as being your prosecutor who is who was then fired do you think he
5:38 pm
will run for president had 2022 and what sort of president believe me. one finger i pray to god every day. i am sure that morrow and the lognormal. must take very heavy drugs to sleep. because their conscious is not calm. they know that they lied about me. don't start to like no no he formed a gang in the car wash task force others to pass on information to the u.s. . and to strike a deal a financial deal even. through which the large no would raise a 2000000 rail phone need to do something here in brazil. my conscience is calm. because my innocence is proven. right now i want to prove their guilt in the
5:39 pm
crimes they committed against brazil. attempting to destroy brazil sovereignty. today i do not feel any hatred all resentment i'm actually destined to continue fighting for democracy. because as you know. although i will be 75 years old in october the 27th that. i have the energy of a 30 year old and the political well of a 20 year old. therefore i still have a lot of energy to fight for democracy and for the brazilian people. and also to try to contribute to a world with new leaders. a more impetuousness in a break from politics. because well governance nowadays has been outsourced crises are no longer managed by governments but rob by bureaucrats so there are no more
5:40 pm
political leaders and this weakens politics and originates people of the likes of trump on both sonora i know you're not going to announce on going underground that you're running for the presidency in 2022 all of president i'll stop you there more from the former president of brazil credited with lifting millions out of poverty after this short break. but the pandemic know said you know blood is just blind to nationalities. as americans we don't observe the we don't look like world needs to be. judged as coming close is the sentence. we can
5:41 pm
do better we should. everyone is contributing to each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created with the response has been much so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. both of us. last time we chased. each one of will carrying 20 kilos 'd of drugs.
5:42 pm
is the main thing. they have. for me. i don't know maybe they'll. make or. break right. now or. trade and investment to become magic spills to economic development. most people think about trade they think about goods and services being exchanged between countries and the investment chapter of a trade agreement is
5:43 pm
a very different but what when investment leads to toxic manufacturing that destroys. the environment. that means local communities that are being poisoned to think jack if they do anything that the company feels is interrupting their profits to. the nationals of taking on the whole nation philip morris is trying. to stop who are of the like him. new tobacco regulations aimed at cutting domestic smoking rates a french company. in egypt because egypt resists minimum wage democratic choice to have a drunk corporate law joining us as we try to find one of the to. welcome back i'm still here with the 35th president of brazil live though i do want to ask
5:44 pm
you something about another element to the car wash saga even donald trump talks about the military industrial complex that eisenhower mentioned do you believe that the nuclear submarine contract alerted the united states military industrial complex used car wash and that ended up in the destruction of the p.t. government in brazil. i am certain that the americans did not agree that we should settle an agreement with france to build the nuclear submarine. i am certain that they did not appreciate it when i created the south american defense secretary act. because as soon as we discovered the pre-sold oil which was the major oil discovery of the 21st century. 100000 meters deep in the
5:45 pm
atlantic ocean. the americans announced that they would grant surveys that 4th maritime fleet in the atlantic ocean. which had ceased to operate after world war 2. our oil is on the maritime border of our international waters so i believe that the us truly are interested in taking over all royal. just as they grab so much oil in so many countries around the world. as you know actually all political confusions around the world occur because of oil and the americans do not want petro brass nor the brazilian people to keep all that oil obviously washington denies that but then how innocent were you and dilma rousseff you know about edward snowden in moscow who says there are
5:46 pm
a wiretaps on phone calls that lead to the n.s.a. to the u.s. security state you knew a good job as he told you about the coup in venezuela how innocent were you when dilma rousseff was in power that they were going to get you. you know action i had a fantastic relationship with president chavez for many years. and i created a group of friends of venezuela to prevent any american intervention. and we were very successful during the bush administration and later in the obama administration. with the following phrase the people of venezuela take care of democracy in venezuela. an american citizen who wins elections based on fake news like trump. has no moral authority to talk about democracy. likewise balsa naro in brazil certainly i may have being naive as well as.
5:47 pm
in believing in democracy and believing in the conduct of the brazilian elite and we are paying the price for that but nevertheless i think that the solution is a democratic one it involves democracy. freedom of the press freedom of labor unions freedom of association respect to human rights. this is what motivates me and this is what i will fight for. because it is only with democracy that we will be able to improve the quality of life of the poor. of the workers and of the excluded people in our country. it is true that the americans may hate snowden because he was a state department employee and he leaked information. but the fact is that a song should be considered a hero by all democratic countries around the world. because
5:48 pm
he was the one who use code in the leaks to expose us espionage. competitor bras in brazil. germany in argentina in france. that is science cannot be handed over to the us. a son should win the nobel peace prize because he monies to expose the rotten espionage of the us in the rest of the world. but it is a pity that year appeared in south american countries. and not brave enough to stand up for us armed. for all the good you did to mankind. well the un special rapporteur on torture said on this program the julian assange is being tortured by u.k. authorities his controversial extradition trials taking place here in london but
5:49 pm
the u.n. claims that the media smeared him you mentioned hugo chavez i understand venezuela's leader once asked you just a hotel a sore television when he created it and you said you wouldn't need didn't know why after 2 terms as president why did you you nothing to reform all agog owned media in brazil i didn't do anything because in brazil. to change the rules for the media . you need to submit a bill to be voted in the national congress. and the majority in congress and being so conservative that. it will never approve the rules to make the media more democratic. we created a public t.v. channel. certainly we did not make the necessary investments to make it competitive not financially competitive but competitive with regards to providing more information to society. this is something i regret not having done.
5:50 pm
we developed a project to regulate the media it was complete by mid 2009. we did not have support from congress because elections would be held the following year and we left it for the new administration. which is one thing that we will need to do when the p.t. returns to the government. because information that is meant for society cannot have an owner that. information cannot be conveyed to society. from the viewpoint of the economy. or of a part of that society. but of course you will depend on that media the p.t. party with the flag behind you there will depend on that all agog media to give a fair representation before brazilians go to the polls in 2022 i've got to ask about the rain forests because of the implications of coronavirus of global warming
5:51 pm
what do you think will happen to them if the balls that are or if morrow becomes president enjoyed the 22. morrow will never become president. for more and was fabricated by globo t.v. . mauro is an invention of the media. and without the media he is nothing. more is a citizen who i believe seems to be a coward because i have challenged him to debate with me now that he's no longer a judge he could debate with me but he won't and i do not think globo will have the guts to support him. but if he is it is not a problem at all. the amazon must remain a problem for the brazilian society. and does not need to have squatters or invaders. instead of cattle breeders and soybean pharmacy.
5:52 pm
like the amazon needs to be occupied by research is. all the jest and scientists like to study its products and animals. and all the pharmacological welfare has. as well as its potential to feed all society. the amazon is extraordinary for mankind and brazil needs to have the obligations. the moral and ethical commitment. to preserve the amazon in order to provide balance to planet earth. this isn't the responsibility of the bowl sonora government. which has destroyed the entire surveillance system. that even the director of the agency that money to deforestation with spatial imaging was dismissed. why don't you just don't now they are blaming the indigenous people in the small farmers for deforestation. i have high hopes that in
5:53 pm
2022. weeks brazil will return to democracy. that the people will elect a democrat for president who respects the environment and our space. abo orders. and who knows the meaning of our country's sovereignty. finally when the door of one of venezuela the european union just like washington refused to accept him as president of venezuela they opted for one why though the cia readily admits to its history of attempts on the lives of leaders in the global south both of those it was the 1st brazilian leader to actually visit the cia's headquarters in langley how sure are you that there will be attempts on your life if the p.t. wins in 2022. i have no certainty. but that will not keep me from doing anything. i'm convinced that the only solution we have is to strengthen
5:54 pm
democracy. including the american people now. with the elections. they have the right to change american politics. by electing someone who is civilized. someone who has some humanity. or. someone who has at least some respect for blacks for native americans. for the way men and for differences between human beings. like therefore we have the duty to rebuild democracy in the world. so that we can prevent the destruction of planet earth. which is like a boat and we are all sinking in it. i think we need to realize that the americans are going backwards in exercising democracy. recently i
5:55 pm
saw trump calling obama a communist. i'm calling biden a communist. calling clinton a communist he doesn't even know what communism is. that is i think ignorance is defeating intelligence. and it is not possible that intelligence humanism solidarity need to be restored in the world the world today is being ruled by committees not by government. i think the governments need to recover their role in governance including the united nations. or the un needs to change its role. there today's un cannot be the same as it was in 1988. we need to have african countries in the un security council we need latin american
5:56 pm
countries in the security council. and countries like india. that. it cannot be the same 5 countries as in 1988. we need to create a new global governance. and 948 the un was strong enough to create the state of israel. in 2020 the un does not have the power to create a palestinian state. or it is shameful because we need to rediscuss the role of the un and other institutions. we need to discuss the i.m.f. what is the use of the i.m.f. . what is the use of the world bank. i have already talked to pope francis i have gone to the world council of churches in geneva. we need a global campaign against inequality on our planet. where it is not possible
5:57 pm
that half a dozen entrepreneurs. in digital corporations. making one year what billions of human beings do not ever have. we also need to discuss the role of capitalism. and i am willing to do this you know thank you. that's it for the show will be back on monday to speak to a controversial economist going to universities professor jeffrey sachs until then stay safe and join the underground you tube twitter sank on instagram and facebook . tracks geysers financial survival guide stacey let's learn a salad fill out let's say i'm a strike at any earthly andris the fight spot thank you for helping.

your butt is. the problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see me very sharp increase in the. number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes at their dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers i think it's.
