He appealed his conviction, and ran against Bolsonaro in 2018, but was ousted from the race when the conviction was upheld. But now, a Supreme Court justice has ruled that the trial judge lacked jurisdiction, and annulled the conviction. That cleared the way for Lula to run again, although he could still be retried and convicted on the original charges.<\/p>\n<p>Bolsonaro told Shapiro his nemesis and the Workers Party he heads looted pension funds, embezzled public funds, and gave out crooked contracts that cost Brazilian taxpayers billions of dollars while in power.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"pt\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2013 Conversei, na \u00faltima quinta-feira, com o jornalista e escritor americano <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benshapiro?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@benshapiro<\/a> , dono de um dos maiores podcasts dos EUA.

Bolsonaro 2\ufe0f\u20e32\ufe0f\u20e3 (@jairbolsonaro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jairbolsonaro\/status\/1584932266194522112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 25, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bolsonaro echoed the complaints of Trump, saying the media is sympathetic to Lula and helps amplify false accusations against him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey accuse me of being a dictator, or being a homophobic man, or being a racist person,\u201d Bolsonaro said. \u201cThey say I don\u2019t like black people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve accused me of being a cannibal and a beast and a pedophile and a fascist, and anything goes for them, basically,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil can be a bulwark against the corrupt socialism that has pervaded South and Central America, he said. But not if Lula emerges victorious.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe in Brazil cannot possibly join the Venezuela Team of countries, which now includes Argentina, Chile, [and] Nicaragua,\u201d he said. \u201cBrazil is the most important country in South America. So if Brazil succumbs to the Left wing, that\u2019s the end of South America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bolsonaro questioned the Supreme Court justice\u2019s decision that Lula could only be tried in the state of Brasilia, where his alleged crimes occurred, and acknowledged concerns that a fair election could be held given the high court\u2019s influence over the process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat makes us more confident about the ongoing elections is the fact that the armed forces in Brazil have been invited to join in electoral transparency,\u201d he said. \u201cBut the armed forces have told me that it is impossible to grant a seal of credibility or reliability to the voting system, given the very many vulnerabilities or weaknesses that the system still features.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If voters make their choice based on Brazil\u2019s economic progress, Bolsonaro is confident he will win another term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have posted the third month in a row of negative inflation,\u201d he said. \u201cOf course, foodstuffs and other prices are going down. The labor market is doing pretty well. And 8%, a little more than 8% is our current unemployment rate or joblessness rate in Brazil, a good rate as compared to previous administrations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bolsonaro said he has cut red tape to enable entrepreneurs, lowered taxes and fought to keep the economy open during the COVID pandemic, when he said Brazil\u2019s GDP dipped a relatively small 4%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the Lula da Silva administration back in 2010, it would take you as a businessperson, an average of about four months to open a company,\u201d Bolsonaro said. \u201cUnder my administration, it takes no more than a day to open a business, a new business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bolsonaro said he will stand with Christians in his majority Catholic nation against abortion and the same radical gender theory now roiling the U.S., which he said leftists seek to promulgate in schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are also for liberalizing abortion and also the so-called gender ideology,\u201d he said. \u201cEven children now very few, but children age seven, eight, nine. Children think not to know whether they\u2019re girls or boys and vice versa. Or boys don\u2019t know whether they\u2019re boys anymore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a substantial part of the Brazilian schooling system,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro told Daily Wire host\u00a0Ben Shapiro his country is at a crossroads in the upcoming election, and faces the danger of falling into the same pattern of socialist corruption that engulfs many South and Central American nations.
