The Bolsonaro Crime Family feat Caio Almendra (E287)
This week we’re heading to a Brazilian hospital — more specifically, the bedside of former President Jair Bolsonaro — to bring you an exploration of the disgraced, grotesque and criminal Bolsonaro family. We’ll be learning how the melted Brazilian right wing emerged from a post-80s yearning for military dictatorship. How the police, criminal right-wing militias and politicians formed an unholy alliance. And how, unfortunately, this corrupt and violent blob led to the brutal murder of a socialist city council woman and human rights activist in Rio de Janeiro. Along the way we’ll be talking about jewel smuggling, whale molesting, and a bouquet of failsons. Our guest writer for this very special episode is Caio Almendra, who’s an editor at The Intercept Brasil.

Its funny when the right says the left are doing flags is just more projection
PIZZA PROFUNDA i don't speak portugese and that got me
Such a good episode, Caio is great! Personally I think there's nothing better than a well researched topic on something we don't all hear about ad nauseam. Particularly from another country. The govenors slogan 'I steal but I do' ended me lmao. I laughed so much during this episode but also felt like I was dying whch is my absolute favourite QAA listening experience
wow we got Julian aka Mr. Language aka The Pronouncer doin all the funny sounds from across the world, always sayin weird letters like ç the right way Unamerican
I love this because it's so informative. You never heard this on cnn 🤔 lol
Brasil mentioned! 🎉🎉
FYI, the patreon link on the QAA youtube is broken!
Damn, we finally found the good Cailou.
Podcaster responds in PERFECT Portuguese and then THIS happens!
Julian wtf international man of mystery
To whom it may concern, I represent the legal department of Abercrombie and Fitch Co. My client urgently wishes to be furnished with the contact details of one 'Jake Rockatansky', as our records indicate he is now referring to himself as. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Killer episode.
Hi Jake I literally work for A&F corporate We know the retail workers steal, just be sly 😉
Running this AM to say rouba mas faz to every Brazilian in my office
On Wednesday the president of a coalition of US police unions ( National Association of Police Organizations, aka NAPO) endorsed Trump. Standing on stage in front of the crowd of Republicans at the Charlotte, NC Trump rally he said his cops would do anything for the convicted felon, Trump. All the criminal Trump had to do was ask.
The Riocentro Music Festival was in 1981, not 1991.
As Brazilian I have been waiting for this episode. Julian's Portuguese accent was amazing. Sharing this episode with my Canadians friends
Me extolling the quality of Julian's português brasileiro accent may finally convince my Brazilian bestie to listen to the pod, thanks guys, I'm super hyped about this episode. Mentioning Marielle Franco, Paulo Freire, and riffing about Brazilian weed within the first 10 mins is setting this episode up to be my favorite since the Hidden Cold War History ep. (My favorite of all time will always and forever be the Mel Croucher and Pimania episode, but y'all have had a lot of solid hits and very few misses over the years)
I had been wondering what was going on with Bolsonaro, thanks for scratching that itch.
Jake got hired at Abercrombie? My teenage self would have been all aflutter
This is going to be a good one
Julian speaks better Portuguese than me and I live 30 minutes away from the frontier with Portugal. Good work sir
Jake, keep the crime confessions behind the pay wall!
"during the Covid-19 pandemic" do you mean this current one that is ongoing according to the WHO?
I just today had to change a flight due to a friend’s positive test, we are def still going strong
The National Socialist Republican Party, however…
