ah, ah ah no what is before by the united states all by you when he's truly cool that fighting a war, essentially to prove when the better done the surgeon. so russian follower, once again in, in this region and saw that, that is one of the limit i've bought as it is, it's possible, ah,

some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities and other countries, the united states of america is different wherever people long to be free, they will find a friend in the united states for with a little bit about it all to anybody basie solely sitting p, draw the look on both ends of each cigarette. a few color rebel notions is one among several means to reach the goal of conquering foreign lands and bringing them onto the hell of u. s. west and they can all make interest to popping sadie. i didn't get to everybody. did them. okay. a sol, suite bus

a little bit short to power america. and the final goal of these seem revolutions is to ensure that there are no independent players in the world anymore. key. ah, brazil has been one of the countries hit the hardest by the coven pandemic. and recently gyre both scenarios, government has back measures to east economic hardship for us citizens. this included a 50 percent increase and welfare payments for brazil's poorest but these payments will only continue until the end of the year. a move that several have blasted as a cynical, an opportunistic electoral ploy. so what's the cost of having a right wing leader versus the left wing leader like mueller da silva for brazilians? and regardless of who was in power, what will this mean to the brazilian economy will be diving into these topics and more. i'm christy i and you're watching the cost of everything mm.

with also laurel and lula have both play their part in shaping brazil is political landscape . both men have built up a group of loyal supporters who believe that the best way is the correct and right way for brazil's future. over the last 4 years, jar both nara has within to power by drawing on the rising discontent with the workers party government, which had been in power since 2003, and stood accused of grand corruption. also, nora, who was a long time member of congress and defender of military prerogatives portrayed himself as a political outsider, with conservative values. his rise was as much a condemnation of previous left leaning governments as a victory for conservatism. in brazil. under his rule, he questioned the role of the supreme court and approved policies that have

devastated the amazon rain forest. however, loyalty to his right government remained unconditional among a base dry, heavily among the police. the armed forces, big businesses and rural land owners. these land owners supported both and all because of his opposition. the workers parties, proposal for land reform and lands. redistribution. lula, on the other hand, has ruled from 2003 to 2010 after winning to 4 year terms and office, and helped to lift citizens out of poverty. he reduced deforestation by over 70 percent and pundum billions of dollars into social programs to help brazil's problems with inequality. he increased minimum wages, establish a family grant program that helped millions of families. however, under lula business leaders argue that brazil just lost a competitive edge against international rivals. this actually may lula very

popular. however, his success was marred by controversy as he was slapped with corruption charges that originate from a money laundering investigation known as operation carwash. he was found guilty in 2017, and not allowed to run for reelection in 2018. but the tides soon turned again as brazil supreme court overturned the conviction, citing technicalities. while we all know what that means, these technicalities cited that lula right to a fair trial had been compromised by a biased judge. so what does that stake here, and what does it mean for the future of brazil? and to help us break it down further on how the cost of mueller da silva and j year both scenarios, economic plans have effected brazilians, is william leinster professor of social movement and leader and local coordinator lula de. so let's campaign and fabio the nini journalist and politics editor of fall, how does sol paulo, an author of euphoria and failure of great brazil,

both of them joining us from south paula brazil, fabio. what's the current status of brazil's economy? can we compare economies during lula da silva and ministration versus gyre? both scenarios, government well when louis presidents from 2003, 2010, it was a period of strong growth in brazil. lula enjoyed a very favourable and positive i international environments. ah, the price of commodities which are the bulk of brazil's exports like iron ore, saw bees, but others as well. corn and i was very heights at the time. oil us as well. ah, and a little of benefits from this bonanza, so to speak. both sonata is president, dream, a much more challenging periods. we've had the pedantic of course, not as the war in ukraine and sobel. sonata spirit empower it, was had a smaller rate of growth that then lewis. so las campaigning on trying to come back

to the good old times of, of his 1st government actually he was, president twice was reelected. so to governments of lula and de campaigning on brazil will be a happy country. again, people have food on the table. we have even money for us, mo, barbecue in on, on weekends and so on. and bull sonata a has been affected by a heinz lation in low growth. that, which is part of a global phenomenon. and both now uses this in this elements as, as, as sort of an excuse for what's been going on in brazil. but both the nato has also been affected. boston as government has also been affected by his, his very poor response to the pandemic. bosa, brazil ah, had issues buying vaccines for example. and so would the economy was affected by,

by, by this the government's response should have been damaged, was recovered a bit later. den delta dental was predicted, but, but let more, more recently are present bill. so not managed to, to prove in congress a few, a social benefits a she a several measures in congress that are putting more money into the mouth of resilience. and. 1 he's also pressure put pressure on, on states to reduce text on fuel for example. so inflation is coming down little bit because the price of fuel, of gasoline is coming down. ah, but even eat. but is spite of this slight improvements india, india economy, outlook of brazil the less a few months? the situation still are not very good. so i was not as being affected a lot by dick and on the issue. and especially when lula compare situation,

we have to they brazil to the situation we had when he was the president. the country is very big, obviously, and there are substantial financial cost associated with each election cycle. so what are some of these costs and who is ultimately responsible for bearing these costs? very, very straight here because brazil opted for public falling to the elections. the last years last elections, we historically had reached candidates always in advantage and bill actions. and now it's if you reduce, you can see in the streets, you can see that for example, people, people, candidates ah, was good opportunities in his elections because of the quality that public funding brings to the selection. this is the answer. well he and my friend bobby has any thank you so much for coming on today from sao paulo, brazil, and after the break,

brazil pour, i think topics such as abortion rights, taxes, religion and gun ownership have been quantified the cost of the new gun laws and brazil can be counted in dollars. we have another great panel, i guess. when we come back with, [000:00:00;00] ah

ah ah, ah oh is your media a reflection of reality? ah, in the world transformed what will make you feel safe for? hi solution for community. are you going the right way or are you being led to some with direct? what is true? what is great?

in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. november 22nd 2022 outraged orthodox christians confronted ukrainian security service offices, locking entrances and exits to keep the oldest monastery. they were looking for a russian spies among the monks. we mean deal of seeming us or from a reason to the brutal cried down one church. his parishioners said, song, a song about russia. ah me, it's wrong been reason enough to condemn any old adult christian attack in prison

and even kill them. russia, what are you russia, finance, a big grass when you laugh, store new in your store of pro offline. you and your total thought i shoot you a sample i use from this dog with oh, there are many polarizing topics and politics these days. abortion rise taxes, religion and gun ownership. they are universal no matter which country you go to. so let's take a closer look at brazil's changing stands on gun ownership. in 2018, the year before july year bo sanara became president. brazil had one of the highest homicide rates among the developed countries. $27.00 per 100000 people. this compare with the 5 per 100000 in the u. s. and the point 5 per 100000 in china,

in 2018 ballston, are decided that guns will help to defend people as an equalizer. brazil had since added more than 400000 licensed firearm owners. and these owners had to undergo a psychological and technical applique to screening show proof of employment and explain why they want a firearm as a prerequisite. so now the big question is with the population of fire arm owners more than doubling, did violence increase or decrease? instead of surging crime declined sharply in brazil in 3 years. hon snarled, the homicide rate has fallen. 34 percent to $18.00 per $100000.00. that's a pretty impressive figure already, but it actually gets better homicide cost society a lot. the impact psychological and economic and it starts in the detectives on the street trauma surgeons that the hospital,

the economic loss of the victim from production and not to mention tourism dollars loss as certain places become deemed unsafe. one study that attempted to quantify this estimates the average economical cost of each homicide to be $17200000.00. last spring in dr. kristen smith, professor of african and african diaspora studies at the university of texas and fabi as a nini politics editor of full, hilda saw paulo, an author of euphoria and failure of great brazil. so chris, then we just talked about the cost of homicide on society and how that figure has been greatly reduced after bolton are changed the gun ownership laws. what are the other costs associated with this change, such as the firearm exporters who are now taking advantage of this increase in market share? i mean, i think it's important to recognise the conservative back job to this decision. i think that brazil has always had

a policy no, no, no private gun ownership. and so this is a huge, it was a huge social change. when he, when he implemented this particular new law. and i think that the, the aspect of it that are not readily apparent to people are the fear of vigilantes or that are off. so now, circulating wildly because of this. and so i, i actually hesitate to associate the drop in the homicide rate with gun ownership. i don't think that that's actually i personally don't think that that's the connection there. i think that in actuality there probably would have been a drop in on the 5 rate anyway. simply because of the cobra. 900 and then make

and other factors in the country. and so i think we have to really be careful to see one with the other. but i do know that there is a general sense of fear among chicken, the working class folk, and particularly people of color to black people in brazil who really fear vigilante, of them and violence are typically racially most close motivated violence at their expense. and so that's one of the things that i think that people don't necessarily see there and also not really understanding the, the class and race i mention of gun ownership. and so the most of the people who have been pleased with this decision have been right then that's something to keep in mind. and finally a, what is our tank on the cost of changing kind of ownership and miss al wearable scenarios. one of his main policies doing government has been trying to increase

the legal framework for brazilians to own guns and to carry guns. ah, he's a, he's a, he's a military man. he's a, a retired captain from the army and he's supported by gun owners all around the country and military and from a policeman and so on. so his so that the issue of guns has been very heavy on both of those agenda has always been very heavy since the day she was a congressman. and he was a, a deputy for 28 years. and he had this platform of gun ownership. and he's had his try to expand it very much. he hadn't be able to do everything that you wanted. because some of these decrees and acts were deemed illegal by the supreme court and even by congress. but his manage to change some minor rules that indian have resulted in more brazilians having access to guns and more brazilians have access

to ammunition. at the same time, the levels of, of criminality of homicides, especially homicides, has been coming down in brazil for, for quite some time, brazil's, a levels of commonality are not the best of course, but they have been improved the improving for the last 2 years. and i was trying to link one thing to the other, which is, i think, and most pundits believe it's a bit of an exaggeration because the fact that prime has been going on in brazil owes to a lot of things. it's a demographic or change. it's a social economic change, it's, it's a legislation, a change, and that goes on that has been trying to, to, to, to show a cause and effect relationship between a him, giving more access to brazilians, to guns and this phenomenon his, he's been repeating this in his campaign a lot,

but i would say it's to, it's a bit premature to, to stablish this link, turning back crystal, another big threat to brazil society is that posed by illegal mining organizations are now pushing for a crackdown on unregulated gold flows. because now illegal mining impact sectors, reputation. so what are the costs associated with these black market minors? no, definitely. i think this is a huge issue and i actually think it's important to put in legal mining together with other factors like be illegal, seizure of land and climate change, deforestation because all of them go hand in hand. i think that we have to remember that this illegal market around old and my knee is very much tied to a desire to disenfranchised indigenous and black people from their land. in brazil,

it is also part partly what speeds and, and kind of phone mans a very wild west approach to the north east, north eastern politics, north and north eastern politics and the political landscape there. and so a lot of the illegal mining should be associated with ah, large land holding elite and corporate official fishing for brit. how do i say this corporate and stakeholder corporate stakeholders? i'm coming in and being able to explain the environment and ways that i

don't have any accountability within the state structure. and i think that's one of the most unfortunate downsize of this. i think that is always going to legal. my father isn't illegal lining hurting bazillions alternately. it is a huge course. i wouldn't have a number here on top of my mind, but the legal money is a huge. probably brazil and bo sonata has sympathy for for these illegal miners. most of these miners are my need, the emphasis for exemplary ditch in digital lance, which is of course illegal of these illegal minors cause all sorts of, of deforestation, environmental problems, health issues towards the business people's achilles and so on both. so that'll defense will center and his allies, especially in the every cultural sector, defense a change, the law. they are, they, they try,

they're trying to change the law. there's a doesn't actually a projects a bill in congress to change the law in order to make it possible for a minor said other economic activities to happen inside indigenous less for example. but there's huge opposition to this move by the dizziness, the environmentalists last week parties and pundits in universities and so on. so it's, it's a big struggle. and kristen, another big issue here is $24.00 station and the rain forest which is often referred to as the lungs and the are the for station has skyrocketed under most in r and was reported to have broken all records in the 1st 6 months. a 2022. so what's your take on the issue and how are both candidates addressing this? yeah, i mean, i think deforestation. probably one of the most. i mean, it's hard church, it's hard to think about what, what are the most alarming after effects of this administration. but i think

deforestation is definitely one of the most alarming. i think that it can, i think it's important to remember that this is part of a general pop general political plan to really stabilize black and indigenous communities who have special land in the north the amazon region in the northeast and push on the ways that both allows which have everything to do with his desire to really undo many of the advance that can happen around environmental protection, but also around land. right. and i think that that's something that we cannot, you know, we can't make more and we can't decide. now that this is a multi tiered issue with

a multi dimensional it's more and it has to do with the legal. busy logging in the amazon region, but it also has to be farming and m reaching and particularly particularly cattle cattle raising and so farming. and so these 2 industries have been at the root of a lot of the deforestation that's been happening in that area and have also been at the root of undermining the the advancement the indigenous and black residents have had in land claims to their ancestral land. and so, you know, there's a, there's a way that all of these issues go together. and i think that one of the,

one of the pit brought to the conversation has been an attention to environmental dimensions of this. and not a lot of attention to, to the race in class, that means and the counting elements of it. and i think you have to look at them altogether because it's part of a broader violet. and i would actually think, kind of genocidal aspect of this administration that is undermining the black and different populations that will be to sustain itself. and. and that has a lot to do with not only as i mentioned before, illegal mining, but also illegal dami, creating dams in places that devastate and split out communities basically, deforestation, logging. all of these things are leading to devastating floods,

destabilization of the earth and me by that land live. all of these kind of environmental disasters that are happening in, in the northern region and across the country that are related to deforestation of which we're particularly talking about the amazon. all of these things that are happening are really part of a broader kind of systematic neglect . that's not an administration has engaged and not only just kind of like but also, but also once we incentivize them, an environmental degradation which i think is just appalling and alarming. and, and something that we should all be deeply, deeply concerned about latin pac there. thank you. both dr. kirsten smith and fabi as an e for joining us today. now when it comes to brazil's economy,

there are winners and losers. this was the most polarized race. in decades, brazil's presidential elections come at a time when latin america's new pink time appears to be gathering pace. left of center candidates have one elections in mexico, argentina, bolivia, peru, and honduras. in recent years, this new group of presidents, place climate policies and gender issues at the forefront of their policies. so who will, when, when it's all said and done, will it be the brazilian economy? well, it's people when it's a close call, but it's a fact that the brazilian economy is really starting to struggle. now in the aftermath of the pandemic. thanks for watching. i'm christy i and i'll see you next time on the cost of everything. ah,

i'm rec center. i'm here to play with you. whatever you do not watch my new show. certainly why watch something that's so different. my little opinion that you won't get anywhere else work with please. if you have the state department, the cia weapon bankers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations, choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want marshall stay managed, because i'm probably gonna make you uncomfortable. my show is called spectrum, but again, we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you oh no. what is be spoken by the united states all by you when he's actually fighting a war, essentially, to prove in the better on the surgeon. so russian follower, once again in this region, and saw that that is one of the limit i've water, is it, is it possible?

ah ah ah baking, slams washington fishing things down what it called a chinese weather balloon that drifted over the west, if by numerous assurances but they didn't know how to read as well as former prime minister reveals, he was coordinated by the west and his efforts to mediate at peace still for ukraine last year, which ultimately failed off the washington, pulled the plug. also ahead with less than a teaspoon of dry hand to write a little bit about this amount. this is just about the amount of
