Rio de Janeiro

And so in 2009, there was a very famous crash called Air France 447.

A plane disappeared over the Atlantic from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.

And it was a big, big mystery.

It took them two years to figure out what happened.

Agora que eu tô, tô, tá soando-

Carneiro é a nossa deputada aqui do Rio de Janeiro.

E eu acho que depois do, do Haddad é todo mundo mais desenvolviment-- mais desenvolvimentista, mais progressista, tal.

Então, eu acho que o Lula também, é, dá uma, pelo menos ele dá uma amarrada antes da viagem que ele vai fazer, que ele embarca na segunda-feira.

Meus queridos, estamos já nos encaminhando pra uma hora aqui de podcast.

O Thiago mencionou ali na, nas especulações ministeriais o Eduardo Paes.

Thiago, acho que vale só dar uma pincelada pro nosso ouvinte sobre como é que tá essa possibilidade de haver um terceiro turno aí no Rio de Janeiro.

Então, Vera, eu acho que a novidade da semana, porque o, é, quando o segundo turno começou, o PSD ingressou com uma ação no Supremo Tribunal Federal, mas o Eduardo Paes tinha silenciado, né? Foi fazer campanha pro Lula e nada falou sobre isso, né? E a novidade, eu acho que dos últimos dias pra cá, foi justamente o Eduardo Paes partir pra uma estratégia de comunicação em que ele faz vídeos claramente, é, clamando por essa disputa de, de segundo turno aqui no Rio, hã, novamente alegando que os votos do Garotinho deveriam valer.

And when we look at the street side, we must give credit to the youth, especially the students, and more specifically to the students of Universidade Federal Fluminense.

in Niterói city, the state of Rio de Janeiro, that right after the results of the first round, when Lula was in the second place, and they called for an act and said, we need to take the streets, we need to mobilize against this autocratic threat.

Nothing's normal anymore.

So they sparkled and initiated a series of street protests, street manifestations across the country, led mostly by the students, of course, political parties and unions.

They were all together, but the students were the main actors in this.

And we could see fans three weeks off the streets covered by people doing the L, like as a symbol for support for Lula, taking the colors of the nation back because the green and yellow were like captured by Bolsonaro's force.

And we could see protests in all over the country, in big cities like Sao Paulo, in Avenida Paulista, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, but also in smaller cities like the one I'm living in, the countryside of a very Bolsonaro state.

My students and I, we were there like every Saturday talking to the people in bus stops and talking to the people in stores saying, your rights are endangered and making public lectures about democracy, about autocracy and to raise awareness of what was at stake.

Father, maybe you could introduce us to your friend Luis.

So, Luis and I met, what, about two years ago, right? Is it now about two years ago? In Rio de Janeiro, actually in Sao Paulo, through a mutual friend, Father Wander, a great priest, a great priest, And after talking to a convention, to a conference, which was amazing, it was an amazingly well-organized conference, so many young people, I mean, you couldn't believe it, young families.

There were over, I don't know, about 800 people, just amazing.

beautifully attended and everyone well behaved and everything else.

Buenos Aires.

We wish you all a happy, safe, and sexy Pride.

My interview with A. Ashley Hoff is coming up next.

We saved our money.

We flew on a one-way ticket to Rio in Brazil and went to see the Olympics and saw Usain Bolt run and we were in South America for about five months, I reckon, traveling around.

Had a visa for Canada, so we basically went from Brazil all the way up to Central America, Mexico, US, did New York for Christmas, Hawaii for New Year's.

Christmas, sorry, New York, Christmas and New Year's, and then Hawaii after for a few weeks.

That's the word.

I think just my intuition in my life has always been big.

Like even like traveling and going away at the time people were like, I was 24 or 23 and I was like, I want to buy a one way ticket to Rio de Janeiro.

And you could travel around South America for five months.

I got it.
