Dennis Prager Reacts to Brazil’s Election | Dennis Prager’s Latest Thoughts | PragerU

I tell you, uh, many years ago, about, I would say 30 years ago, I was already in radio for 10 years and people said, uh, when people, strangers would meet me, what do you do for a living? I go, I'm a talk show host.

They said, oh, and, uh, what are your future

plans? I said, I will be employed till I die because I talk about the world's problems.

So this is a perfect example.

Within one week here, We have the Israeli elections, the Brazilian elections, and then a week later, we have the American elections.

It's quite remarkable what's happening.

So let me talk to you first about the Latin American giant, Brazil.

Brazil is elected, theoretically elected, guy named Lula.

I think it's his third or fourth time being elected.

He's 81 years old, and he's a leftist.

He's a true

leftist.

It pains me to

say, I don't believe he won.

Let me read to you what the Wall Street Journal editorial page wrote.

Mr. Bolsonaro, that's the conservative, led in the first voting round.

Now, as far as I know, I'm departing from the Wall Street Journal text.

As far as I know, in Brazilian history, the winner of the first round has always won the final round.

But it didn't happen this time.

Bolsonaro won in the first round.

So I continue from the Wall Street Journal.

The socialist comeback victory surprised markets, not least because Brazil's $2.6 trillion economy is sputtering and wages aren't keeping up with inflation.

By the way, it is another amazing thing how the left ruins economies.

Their whole appeal is economic.

and they ruin economies.
