- 0:00Hey, everyone. It's been a while since
- 0:02I posted a video here, hasn't it? Let
- 0:04me tell you something; I’m going to
- 0:06announce a change right now. I’m
- 0:09going to do a live stream every day at
- 0:119:00 AM, okay? So, we’re going to
- 0:12hold lives on this channel about the
- 0:14topics of the day. It’s good that
- 0:15it’s in the morning so you can start
- 0:17your day informed, knowing everything,
- 0:19you'll send super chats, and we’ll
- 0:21talk. Very cool. That said, when
- 0:23there's a topic that I think deserves a
- 0:25video, a standalone video, I’ll make
- 0:27a standalone video. What do you think
- 0:28about that? Let's, let's. Give it a try
- 0:30. Let’s see if it works. And a
- 0:31suggestion that was sent to me was this
- 0:33video right here. American decay, the
- 0:35new world, Renan Santos, MBL, the
- 0:37elections in Brazil from the Arte da
- 0:39Guerra channel. I don’t know what
- 0:42this gentleman said, I don’t know if
- 0:43he’s smart, if he’s stupid, if
- 0:45he’s cool, if he’s not, if he’s a
- 0:46friend or an enemy, but I was told to
- 0:47watch this video. It has 78,000 views,
- 0:50which isn't huge, but it's a relevant
- 0:52video. So let’s see, right? Let’s
- 0:54see what he had to say. Go ahead and
- 0:56like the video, subscribe to the
- 0:58channel, and get in shape. Link here
- 1:00for the "your best version" challenge
- 1:03so you can get in shape, brother.
- 1:05Let’s go.
- 1:06>> Fighter of good character, as our
- 1:08audience generally knows, I rarely
- 1:11address national issues. But what’s
- 1:14happening is the following: the
- 1:16geopolitical situation is so complex
- 1:18that it’s starting to influence
- 1:20Brazil, right? Brazil is starting to
- 1:23realize that it is important in the
- 1:26world. And all of this is happening in
- 1:28the current scenario, which is a
- 1:30scenario of decay for the United States
- 1:31. Mind you, I’m not saying the United
- 1:34States will end tomorrow, that won’t
- 1:36happen, forget it, it will still take
- 1:38some time, but I always say the
- 1:40following: in 5 or 10 years you won’t
- 1:43recognize the United States as it was
- 1:45in its peak around the 80s or so. Why
- 1:47is that? There is enormous income
- 1:50concentration. Corruption has increased
- 1:53a lot, politics has turned into a
- 1:55patriciate that doesn’t care, that
- 1:57governs with its back turned to the
- 1:58American people, right?
- 2:01>> In a way that, more than that, I would
- 2:03add the following: the unipolar world,
- 2:05post-World War II and post-Cold War,
- 2:07with the United States dominating
- 2:09everything, all narratives, all
- 2:10propaganda, it’s over. I'll give you
- 2:12an example of what's happening in
- 2:13Brazil today. I, I, I go down to the
- 2:15garage in my building, and I see a lot
- 2:18of Chinese cars, a lot. Just yesterday
- 2:20I went down and saw a cool little jeep.
- 2:21I said, "What kind of jeep is this?" A
- 2:22little Chinese jeep I'd never heard of,
- 2:25you know? Uh, China is truly in full
- 2:29expansion, right? In full expansion.
- 2:31>> There is a decline of the United States
- 2:33with several consequences, including
- 2:35for Brazil. Why do I say that? A
- 2:40probable defeat of NATO in the Ukraine
- 2:42war is beginning to take shape. And the
- 2:45situation in the Middle East isn't good
- 2:47for the United States either, is it?
- 2:48Iran has been humiliating the Americans
- 2:51. So now, all that will be left for the
- 2:54United States is Latin America. And
- 2:56that's why we understand Donald Trump's
- 2:58offensive. I don't know if it would be
- 3:01different under a potential Democratic
- 3:03government. Maybe it would change,
- 3:05let's say, the way the picture is
- 3:08painted, but it would be a bleak
- 3:10picture all the same. And in this
- 3:14whirlwind of events that will impact
- 3:16Brazil, a very interesting person
- 3:18emerges, this young man from the MBL,
- 3:20who is now Mission, Renan Santos. Why
- 3:24do I say that? Because for a new party,
- 3:28formed mostly by young people, to come
- 3:31in fourth place in the elections, ahead
- 3:34of even Ronaldo Caiado, who is a state
- 3:37governor, the state of Goiás, and has
- 3:39been a presidential candidate. That's
- 3:42leadership.
- 3:43>> Let me say one thing, this is an
- 3:44interesting point. People aren't
- 3:46reading it, aside from the
- 3:49Bolsonaristas, people aren't reading
- 3:53the Mission's election result as a
- 3:54defeat. It's just that we had high
- 3:57expectations and it's frustrating
- 3:59because, for instance, Renato didn't
- 4:01win by, by man, by just a hair. Ana had
- 4:05to move up, man, she was just a little
- 4:06short. We won the seat, we got more
- 4:09votes than the Novo Party. And Ana
- 4:10isn't a congresswoman, a first-timer.
- 4:15She only didn't become a federal deputy
- 4:17because of a tiny bit, a tiny bit she
- 4:19needed. It was, ironically, a very
- 4:24unfair distribution of our own votes.
- 4:29That said, that said, people are seeing
- 4:32Mission as an impressive party. It
- 4:36appeared just now with a tough
- 4:38discourse, no money, and man, oh man.
- 4:41Okay, let's go. Nationally, in the
- 4:44agricultural sector, right? And Renan
- 4:48finished ahead of him; that's no small
- 4:50feat, it can't be disregarded. What I
- 4:53see out there is a lot of people
- 4:55viewing the MBL either as a radical
- 4:57movement or in a cartoonish way. I
- 5:00don't think it's either one or the
- 5:01other. I think what's happening is this
- 5:05: this youth, this generation, will
- 5:07reach power sooner or later. I'm not
- 5:09saying it will be Renan Santos, or that
- 5:11it will be the MBL, but this generation
- 5:13will reach power, because it's the
- 5:14natural order of things. The current
- 5:18generation governing the country won't
- 5:20be there forever. Either they will burn
- 5:23out, step away from politics, or
- 5:25eventually fade away. It's normal. But
- 5:28this generation, it will take the reins
- 5:31of power one day, sooner or later. So I
- 5:34think what needs to be done is to start
- 5:37preparing these young people. I repeat,
- 5:39I'm not telling you that those who will
- 5:42govern Brazil in the future are the MBL
- 5:45, Renan Santos, or whoever it may be,
- 5:47but this generation, regardless of the
- 5:50movement, will reach power. So I think
- 5:52it's necessary to start preparing these
- 5:54young people. Why? Because it's
- 5:57necessary to explain to them how the
- 5:58world works. For example, what do I see
- 6:00out there? I get tired of seeing some
- 6:01young people saying: "Oh, no, because
- 6:03the United States is the defender of
- 6:04democracy in the world.""They are not,
- 6:06folks." The United States has already
- 6:08overthrown several democratically
- 6:09elected governments and has supported
- 6:11several dictatorships.
- 6:12>> I'll cite the first one that created a
- 6:13huge problem even today, which is the
- 6:15government of Mohammad Mossadegh in
- 6:17Iran, in 1953. Mossadegh was prime
- 6:20minister, he nationalized oil, he was
- 6:22elected democratically, and was
- 6:24overthrown in a violent coup d'état,
- 6:27sponsored by the United States and
- 6:29England. So, this story of saying that
- 6:32the United States only overthrows
- 6:34governments that are not democratic is
- 6:35wrong, because there isn't just this
- 6:37one case, okay? Peron had also been
- 6:41democratically elected in Argentina and
- 6:44was...was overthrown, okay? We have the
- 6:48case of Jacobo Árbenz in Guatemala,
- 6:50who was also overthrown. Even Getúlio
- 6:52Vargas here in Brazil, okay? João
- 6:55Goulart in 1964. These were all
- 6:57governments that reached power
- 6:58democratically and were overthrown with
- 7:00U.S. interference.
- 7:03>> So I need to tell the youth the
- 7:05following: you have to realize that
- 7:08American influence has always been
- 7:10harmful to Brazil.
- 7:13>> It's just that, Paulo,
- 7:14>> always
- 7:14>> I'm What do you call American influence
- 7:17? Trade with the United States is also
- 7:20a kind of influence, and this one isn't
- 7:22harmful, it's beneficial. That said,
- 7:23the United States thinks about the
- 7:25United States. It's a thing, man, like,
- 7:27it's a huge illusion to think that any
- 7:29other country thinks about you,
- 7:30especially Brazil, which is seen as,
- 7:32like, trash, ah, some shitty little
- 7:34Latinos there, some dishonest little
- 7:36Latinos. "Oh, we'll go there to see
- 7:39some carnival butts, okay?" Okay.
- 7:41That's it. The world thinks that about
- 7:43us, regarding
- 7:44>> Brazil and other countries in the world
- 7:46. That is the first thing I need to
- 7:48point out to you guys. Secondly,
- 7:50something I think will end up happening
- 7:53is that these youth movements will be
- 7:56lured by the old talk about pension
- 7:58reform because people are living longer
- 8:01, there's no money, etc. But as a rule,
- 8:04every time a pension reform is carried
- 8:06out, right, it's the worker who loses
- 8:09and the banks that get fatter.
- 8:11>> Yeah. It's just that, let's see. First
- 8:13of all, the pension problem isn't just
- 8:15that. The pension problem isn't just
- 8:17that people are living longer, aging
- 8:20more, right, and costing more because
- 8:22they live longer. It's not just that.
- 8:25The pension problem is also, number one
- 8:27, the worst problem, poor management of
- 8:29people. We just saw the Daniel Vorcaro
- 8:32scandal involving pension funds.
- 8:36Basically, people work, leave their
- 8:38money in pension funds, and then these
- 8:40guys pay political leaders to invest in
- 8:42rotten bonds, get rich, and party.
- 8:45That's it. That is the first reason.
- 8:47The second reason is the following: a
- 8:49change in the labor market. Our
- 8:50rigidity in terms of labor regulation
- 8:53with the CLT makes people seek out
- 8:56informality. When a guy seeks out
- 8:58informality, he has left the wheel. You
- 9:00have a wheel spinning here. The one
- 9:02from today works to support the one who
- 9:04worked back then. This wheel is not
- 9:07only being destroyed demographically,
- 9:10but the very design of Brazilian labor
- 9:13pushes this guy out, even if he's young
- 9:16. The guy is young, he's a worker, he's
- 9:20active, and he's out. Plus another
- 9:22problem too, which is the young person
- 9:24who is healthy and isn't working,
- 9:26they're receiving "bolsa família."
- 9:28There's a series of problems, okay? And
- 9:31our suggestion is, it's not just about
- 9:33swapping the bucket for the leak for a
- 9:34bigger bucket, you have to change the
- 9:36pension system. It has to be a mixed
- 9:39system between capitalization and
- 9:41distribution. That's it. It has to be
- 9:43just a distribution system today. Today
- 9:45, those working support those who
- 9:47worked in the past. You have to add to
- 9:49that the fact that you will work and
- 9:52save money to build capital for the
- 9:54future, okay? Let's go. The financial
- 9:57sector is the one that ends up getting
- 9:58fat. So I ask you, guys, don't fall for
- 10:01it, don't fall for it. It is very
- 10:04important that you stay away from this,
- 10:07from this story of, "Oh, we're going to
- 10:09do a pension reform and Brazil will get
- 10:11better." No, Brazil will not get better
- 10:13.
- 10:13>> Yeah, yeah, actually, it's like this,
- 10:15it's not that you'll just do a pension
- 10:16reform and Brazil will improve. When
- 10:17you signal, right, that you're going to
- 10:19do a pension reform, interest rates
- 10:20drop, because people immediately say: "
- 10:22Whoa, these guys are being fiscally
- 10:23responsible." That said, that is not
- 10:26enough for Brazil to improve. It's
- 10:28useless to have that, oh cool, the
- 10:29interest rate dropped for this period,
- 10:30and then not continue being responsible
- 10:32with your accounts, right? So, oh, I
- 10:34signaled I'll reform the pension, cool,
- 10:36interest rates will go down, let's
- 10:38reform the pension, great. But besides
- 10:41that, I'm going to fight public servant
- 10:43privileges, I'm going to modernize my
- 10:45labor laws, I'm going to shift the tax
- 10:47burden away from the production chain
- 10:49and onto income. It's a series of
- 10:52things. The fact that the pension
- 10:55reform alone isn't enough for Brazil to
- 10:58improve doesn't mean it isn't necessary
- 11:00, okay?
- 11:03>> There is absolute proof that every time
- 11:06you cut these social rights, that you
- 11:09decrease the worker's income, violence
- 11:11increases. There are Gini index
- 11:15calculations that you can research.
- 11:17Let's go. It's not just that, either.
- 11:19Oh, dammit, the guy gets poorer, he
- 11:20commits more crimes. It's again, a set
- 11:23of things. You end social benefits, but
- 11:27at the same time you destroy the
- 11:28police's investigative power. You
- 11:31create criminal legislation to save
- 11:33white-collar crime that interferes with
- 11:35the guy stealing a cell phone, and that
- 11:37guy also gets out of jail. You let the
- 11:40Comando Vermelho, you let the PCC, you
- 11:42let criminal organizations dominate
- 11:43territory, dominate entire financial
- 11:45sectors. So it's a set of harmful
- 11:47incentives for Brazil not to succeed,
- 11:50okay?
- 11:52>> I won't go into the details of the
- 11:54internet. And so, what is the biggest
- 11:59problem we see? Youthful indignation, I
- 12:02think it's a normal, necessary thing;
- 12:04it's the renewal of ideas. It is
- 12:07healthy for young people to feel
- 12:09indignant, to revolt against the
- 12:11conditions, against the contradictions
- 12:13of our time. That is normal. My fear is
- 12:16this group being manipulated as they
- 12:18were in Nepal, right? Because these
- 12:20revolutions are made, everything is
- 12:22torn down, right? And almost nothing
- 12:24new is born in its place. It’s the
- 12:26truth.
- 12:27>> Exactly.
- 12:28>> I think that's why every conservative
- 12:30is skeptical about revolutions in this
- 12:32way. Changes must come in an orderly
- 12:35fashion, right?
- 12:36>> We must teach young people that a
- 12:38country only improves through evolution
- 12:41. If we keep perfecting this country,
- 12:43we will get somewhere. I wanted to put
- 12:46it to you folks as well, for the MBL
- 12:48and other youth movements, the
- 12:50following: for those of us with a bit
- 12:53more age, a bit more gray hair, we saw
- 12:55a movement that looked like you back in
- 12:57the 80s. The movement was sensational,
- 13:00the face-painted protesters.
- 13:01>> Everything could change,
- 13:02>> that's it,
- 13:02>> what was happening, tearing down those
- 13:04structures, starting over, refounding a
- 13:06country, right? From now on everything
- 13:09will be different, etc. The name of
- 13:11that movement was the Workers 'Party.
- 13:13>> It’s true. It’s true.
- 13:15>> And look how it ended up. So, like,
- 13:17>> it’s true. It’s very true.
- 13:18>> It’s true. What you said is
- 13:20completely right. You are absolutely
- 13:21right. I thought you were talking about
- 13:23the face-painted protesters, but no.
- 13:24You are talking about the PT. It’s
- 13:25true. What you are saying is very true.
- 13:28The problem is that the PT emerged with
- 13:31the wrong ideological foundations, okay
- 13:34? Okay? So they already ideologically
- 13:36defended things that didn't work. And
- 13:37the PT, the PT movement was composed of
- 13:40people with bad character, people of
- 13:42bad character, right? Uh, who used
- 13:44their influence for personal benefit
- 13:47and not the other way around. The
- 13:49difference with the MBL is that we see
- 13:51a series of temptations around us and
- 13:53we refuse all of them. So much so that
- 13:56when we see, for example, Pavanato
- 13:57getting 3 million votes, saying: "We
- 13:59are going to refound Brazil," etc. It
- 14:00is exactly the PT with the signs
- 14:02reversed. What we do is the opposite,
- 14:05because we are actually losing votes,
- 14:07losing prestige, by denouncing
- 14:09everything those around us are seeking
- 14:11in deceptive temptations, right? That
- 14:14is our profound difference. More than
- 14:17that, we write down, man, our proposals
- 14:19, we put something written up for
- 14:21public scrutiny. I am writing down that
- 14:24I want this. If I betray my proposals,
- 14:26it will be very, very blatant. I wrote
- 14:28one thing and did another, get it? You
- 14:30are the Workers' Party of tomorrow. If
- 14:32you don't do things the right way, the
- 14:35correct way, in 30, 40 years there will
- 14:37be another young person holding you
- 14:39accountable. Why didn't you get it
- 14:41right? Why didn't you do anything good?
- 14:44You had power. So I think what's
- 14:46appropriate, what should be done, is to
- 14:49look at this youth and start preparing
- 14:51them. It is very important. I think
- 14:53it's healthy and interesting. A
- 14:55leadership we have to keep an eye on,
- 14:57right? You really have to look, it's a
- 14:58phenomenon.
- 14:59>> Just one thing, I'm seeing the name tag
- 15:00Robson Farinazo passing by here now. I
- 15:02am, I am very, very bad at this. Very
- 15:06bad. This is Farinazo. So I, man, I am
- 15:09a total klutz. I, man, am different
- 15:11from Renato, who knows everything about
- 15:13everything, about the smallest details
- 15:15and minutiae of politics and political
- 15:16influencers in Brazil. I know nothing.
- 15:18I'm just meeting you now, man. Look how
- 15:20interesting. I swear, I swear I hadn't
- 15:22seen you before. I agree with 90%of
- 15:24what you said there, man. To me, you
- 15:27seem like a very intelligent guy, a guy
- 15:28who is very, right? I don't know, I
- 15:30don't know. Soon someone will come
- 15:32along and say: "Oh, you're such an
- 15:33idiot, Artur." This guy already cursed
- 15:35you, Dani, but this guy, his analysis
- 15:36is very sensible, okay? The MBL mission
- 15:39right now is a phenomenon, placing
- 15:41fourth in an election in a continental
- 15:44country like Brazil, which is very
- 15:46expensive. That's the truth. With few
- 15:48resources, they managed to reach that
- 15:50position. I have no doubts about that.
- 15:53Now, what I see, I observe this a lot
- 15:55on the left, is that they combat ideas
- 15:58that aren't left-wing, aren't pro-Lula,
- 16:01etc., as if they were wrong. Look guys,
- 16:04it's not quite like that. It is
- 16:07necessary to talk to the youth. I was
- 16:09recently in Donetsk, in Donbas, which
- 16:12are regions of Novorossiya, right? And
- 16:16our guides were all young people around
- 16:1830 years old. It's beautiful to see
- 16:21this youth engaged in this political
- 16:23struggle. Russia has been making a huge
- 16:26effort, even more than China, and more
- 16:28than Iran, to educate its youth,
- 16:30provide them with a political education
- 16:32, and prepare them for the future. When
- 16:34you talk to this 30-year-old, there was
- 16:37a young woman with me; besides Russian,
- 16:39she spoke English, Chinese, and
- 16:41Japanese. There was a Chinese man next
- 16:43to me, I saw her talking in Chinese
- 16:44with him, and I was, I was amazed. I
- 16:46said: "How wonderful, right?" Uh, so we
- 16:48need to involve the youth. I say this,
- 16:50it's no use being antagonistic, saying
- 16:52the MBL is this or that; you have to
- 16:54sit down and talk to these people, okay
- 16:55? So I’m going to make another video.
- 16:58>> Hey man, look, uh, I’d invite you to
- 17:00my pod—no, I am inviting you to my
- 17:02podcast; I’ll send you a message on
- 17:04Instagram, if you want to come on, we
- 17:06can chat, man. I don’t know your
- 17:09ideas, your convictions. We can agree,
- 17:12we can disagree in a polite way. You
- 17:14seem like a sensible, intelligent, nice
- 17:16person. Uh, we can talk like that. I
- 17:18think it’s good, I thought it was
- 17:19really cool. Let’s see.
- 17:20>> Yeah, maybe I'll make one or two more.
- 17:21Let's look. Put in the comments what
- 17:23you think. Whether you are against the
- 17:25MBL, or in favor. You who are from the
- 17:27MBL, also say what you think of all
- 17:29this. And I make an appeal to the
- 17:31people now who want to re-elect
- 17:32President Lula. You have to talk to
- 17:35this youth. This youth is extremely
- 17:38important, not only in these elections,
- 17:40but in those to come. Because what I
- 17:44say, guys, I repeat, and this is the
- 17:46mantra of my video: the youth will
- 17:49inevitably come to power. It is the
- 17:52natural sequence of life. So, we need
- 17:56to prepare them. I think this is very
- 17:59important. I talk a lot with young
- 18:00people from the left, the right, and
- 18:02the center. I think all of this, all of
- 18:04this is very important. I think that
- 18:06the statement by President Lula, when
- 18:10he participated in the Flow podcast
- 18:13last week before his elections, asking
- 18:15young people to engage in politics, I
- 18:17think it was crucial, but I think the
- 18:19PT also needs to rejuvenate, okay? The
- 18:23advice I give to the youth is the
- 18:25following, guys. Make a great movement
- 18:28of national reconciliation, but have
- 18:31ideals. Don't be a young person with
- 18:33old-fashioned ideas. I always say this,
- 18:34I'm 60 years old. I have always thought
- 18:37ahead, I have always thought about the
- 18:39future, okay? The saddest thing in life
- 18:42is when we see a young person, a young
- 18:44person in their 30s with old ideas,
- 18:46neoliberal ideas, rentierism, the
- 18:48spending cap, all that nonsense, folks.
- 18:51No country that is developing, if
- 18:53>> Hold on, hold on. To some extent, this
- 18:57is necessary. Is that what develops the
- 18:59country? No, it isn't, but sometimes it
- 19:00is necessary. The spending cap was very
- 19:02necessary in 2016, but that's another
- 19:04debate. Let's go.
- 19:05>> You got stuck on these neoliberal ideas
- 19:07. That's the truth. Go talk to a
- 19:09Chinese person about spending caps, go
- 19:11talk to them about a 14%interest rate,
- 19:13right? Go tell them to strip away
- 19:16workers 'rights to fatten up bankers
- 19:17and they'll say you're an idiot. So I
- 19:20end this video saying the following to
- 19:23the youth: "Look, you on the left,
- 19:25right, center, from below, from above,
- 19:28you are the future. There's no way
- 19:30around it, the country will be in your
- 19:31hands. Whether you will do a good job
- 19:34or not, I can't say. We can only give
- 19:36advice, right, or at least say what
- 19:38went wrong in my generation. But I'm
- 19:40sure of one thing, just as your
- 19:43generation holds mine accountable today
- 19:45, and rightly so, 30 years from now
- 19:47another generation will hold you
- 19:50accountable if you don't do what needs
- 19:52to be done.
- 19:53>> Great video, you know? Great video.
- 19:55You're invited. I'll send you a message
- 19:56on Insta now. I hope you liked the
- 19:58video. Comment below. Best regards.
- 19:59Cristiado.
