We are broadcasting live from Brooklyn, USA. This is the Michael Brook show in Brooklyn.

We're left as best as it is everywhere else with super producer Matt Luck.

Hello Chief Economist David Friskum. How's it going?

Super producer David Slavic roaming the TNBS digitosphere in the ever-expanding, ever-growing left is best universe on this week's program.

Big was my fellow woke bro, co-host of Count of Things. He's calling us from LA or actually we're calling him.

What we're talking about is Kanye finally escaping the sunken place.

Plus, beta or work panders hard, push a T goes hard, all that and more with returning crew and co-host of woke bros.

Big was Harvey Kay, the great professor of FDR Thomas Payne and American social democracy.

He's here. He's back. He's in Brooklyn.

We're talking about how the left can really gain power and tapping into the American radical tradition in the face of American fashion.

Friskum's breaking down some economics. Luck is regulating. We have a shout out to our friends in Brazil.

We have a post game which includes my debate with a woman who used quote-unquote true psychological theory to explain why Trump is the most mentally healthy president of all time.

Plus, we're going to make fun of Sebastian Gorka a whole lot more and in a mere minutes from now, a very important, very special announcement on tonight's TNBS.

So much to get to. Let's get to it.

So we've been following Brazil from quite some time. We knew it was important. We knew it mattered and it did not go the way that it should have gone.

The results of this past weekend's elections were nothing short of horrific. JR Bolsonaro is the real thing.

I've seen a lot of pedantic debates about this or that definition of fascism, but the reality is he is a hard far right authoritarian who is promising political, ethnic and social cleansing and whose entire macro economic plan is nothing but the wholesale privatization and sell off of Brazil.

Massive austerity getting rid of the Amazon which will have massive global climate implications and of course the capital class from the Wall Street Journal to Brazilian oligarchs to very excited tweets from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation focused on just that.

This is a terrible election result and we see that democracies under threat in Brazil. We also see that most of the voting patterns fit a class divide, the poor voted for Haddad, the wealthy voted for Bolsonaro.

And it's very important to recognize a distinction here and several people have pointed this out. There is a far right a global insurgent far right Donald Trump and across Europe that harkens back either to pre-World War II fascist traditions in Europe and emerges out of the depths and swamps of the alt-right online culture and various traditions of American apartheid and reactionary politics.

But in Brazil and right now in Latin America this is very specific because we have people that are still alive that were involved in elimination and the elimination is mass murder campaigns to destroy communists and all members of the left with the active support of the United States.

This is the context that J.R. Bolsonaro comes from and this is what he's promising to bring and empower in Brazil. And of course this started several years ago with the wholesale attempt to criminalize and delegitimize the workers party which is in fact the world's youngest social democratic party, a moderate party governed by Lula de Silva who remains the world's most prominent political prisoner.
