muchas greed that's the big that's where you're getting the big picture i mean look the brazil the group that you mention. they've lost their four big of their form and cut by seventy five percent of the last two years their whole lives of the gold keep these people save keep these tribes safe and they read their funding cut know why i travel but why on earth would this group have their funding cut if i told you it was a politician wanting to stay in office and for money would you be surprised no matter what i'd be surprised. at how well according to many sources the times and one of them they even said this that brazil's president to marry is literally so deeply unpopular. and mired in scandal that he's had to rely on on certain industries one of them is mining mining and agriculture to sort of remain in power and keep him protected from this corruption investigation and that's part of the deal he is sort of forced to hire people from these industries and allow land and deforestation concessions so do the you know do these tribes stand a chance when industries who would most like to see

you see in human i just see that at the java the indigenous reserve brazil. well the one hundred thirty thousand people on the indonesian island of bali have been forced to leave their homes as fears grow of a rumbling volcano that could erupt any time more than five hundred shelters have sprung up and many locals feel they might be needed for a long time has stepped fast. for the balinese mound argonne is the center of their universe the highest mountain on the island is always in their prayers now they fear the sacred folk a no is angry many are fleeing from the mountain taking their most precious possessions but some refuse to leave why unchaining us ten years old when mt last erupted he was safe then and is convinced he will leave now. if i move to a shelter who will stay at home who take care of my animals but what about my livelihood especially if it takes three to four months. other farmers have moved themselves and their cattle to safer ground this village has temporarily adopted more than seventy couse normally had. when we received evacuees in our v

ethnical ethnically and culturally distinct community is known as people are lost tribes abound in brazil a number in the hundreds traditionally brazilians here valued a value their remote neighbors and there's even a government agency called not meant to protect them in their native lands but not everyone is on the same page apparently as recent reports reveal brazilian prosecutors and fish oils are bringing charges against a group of coal miners who according to reports massacred ten tribe members they encountered looted and mutilated their bodies and then bragged about their adventures and a bar so hot washers is this just an isolated incident of road brutality or is there something more here than meets the eye you know that's a great question and i think that if you're going to put that question to me in my own opinion i think the when they do. over and over again drugs human history both in contemporary history today and you know ancient history yesterday that we never you know the invading force coming in to take expensive things from the land is never good to the indigenous peoples

we have been buying in brazil in the past few months, because everyone has felt brazil has major problemsia where there is no capital. our business is about moving money to places where we believe in longer-term there will be good businesses. most people do not have the availability of capital or the operating people to capture that opportunity. erik: where would you say you are most contrarian? >> every one of those is a contrarian call today. i would say probably with the sale over the past 18 months -- with brazil over the past 18 months. most investors did not have any money to double down. so, the incredible franchises we bought over the past two years, , theremarket comes back are no other available buyers competing against us. that does not always make it right, but it does favor good returns. it is always hard. >> is it easier to raise capital now? >> we just raised $14 billion and the structure funds. we have raised private equity funds. we have access to as much money as most people in the world. business is always hard. do not take it for granted. we never take it for granted.

the deepest recession has been in brazil.is coming back slowly. >> you have described a private equity paradox. high prices, declining returns, accelerating inflows. it is an axiom that paradoxes can't continue indefinitely, or can they? >> sometimes they can for longer than people think. what i was trying to say is that private equity is attracting in amounts of money. why is that? over the last 20 years private , equity has outperformed every other asset class and that is likely to continue. right now money is coming into private equity firms like mine because people think we can't continue to get these attractive rates of return. >> have you ever seen this level of interest? in the assets you manage? >> i have not ever seen it at this level of interest. everything will probably slow down at some point. as herb stein once said, " if something can't keep going on forever it eventually won't." right now the interest is high. >> people get elected promising to preserve your social security benefits, but nothing happens. people
