Summary
Sabrina Fernades, Alex Hochuli, and Ben Fogel join us for a major overview and analysis of the state of the Brazilian election. Will Lula pull off his comeback? What would that mean for working class politics in Brazil? We're also joined by longtime Democratic strategist and commentariat Ruy Teixeira to discuss why the Democrats are married to losing cultural politics. Finally, Jen Pan and Cale Brooks discusses some more recent studies on the deprivation of the white working class and why the left should focus on their issues.
The Jacobin Show is a weekly YouTube show offering socialist perspectives on class and capitalism in the twenty-first century, the failures of liberalism, and the prospects of rebuilding a left labor movement in the US. Music by Zonkey. This is the podcast version of the episode from October 12, 2022.

| 0:29.0 | Hey everyone, welcome back to the Jacobin Show. I'm Jen Pan here with none other than |
| 0:34.8 | Kale Brooks. Kale, uh, A, how are you? B, what's on the docket today? Hey, what's up? |
| 0:42.1 | A, great. I'm feeling great. A1, how are you? Um, how are you? How are you? How are you doing? |
| 0:50.5 | A1, good as always. Can't complain. Okay, perfect. B, um, I don't know where this is coming from. |
| 0:57.6 | Anyway, D, uh, we have a great show. Uh, we're going to, in just a moment, we're going to switch over to |
| 1:02.6 | Roy Chashera, who is a, um, surprise, surprise, a democratic party strategist. Uh, and he's an interesting |
| 1:10.3 | guy. Um, we don't agree with everything he says, but, um, if that's all of this show was, um, I don't |
| 1:16.3 | know why you're listening, we give you a very diverse set of opinions here and we like to get |
| 1:20.9 | to the truth. Um, but he actually is a very interesting perspective that we kind of go back and forth on |
| 1:25.0 | for a moment, um, dealing with, uh, the midterms, dealing with demographic destiny and, uh, and kind |
| 1:31.4 | of cultural politics, cultural versus bread and butter, wokeness. We, so all of that, we've got |

| 1:53.1 | on Brazil. Um, obviously the Brazilian election is, uh, ongoing right now. We're between the first |
| 1:58.3 | and second rounds. And so we have, Alex Hercule, uh, Ben Fogel and Sabrina Fernandez to break down |
| 2:04.2 | everything around the election. It's honestly, we already recorded it, but it's honestly a great |

| 2:14.4 | that's enough of a pitch for you to stick around. Definitely, definitely stick around for both of |
| 2:19.2 | those, uh, but tale before we dive into the show proper, I wanted to talk to you about, uh, death |
| 2:27.0 | and dying and despair and mortality. Again, usual. Just, just covering all of our favorite |
