good to be with you. i m katy tur. for the united states, it was january 6th. for brazil, it was january 8th, yesterday, two days, two years, and two days after violent insurrectionists stormed the u.s. capitol, violent insurrectionists did the same to the capitol of brazil s government rioters fueled by the same thing as rioters were here, a former president who spread lies about fraud and refused to concede when he lost. supporters of jair bolsonaro protested for months after the october election which went to desilva and the baseless claim that he lost because of faulty electronic voting machine, they blocked roads and highways, and demanded military intervention, to keep bolsonaro in power. then, on sunday, a week after bolsonaro refused to be present, to peacefully transfer power, during the new president s inauguration, roughly 3,000 people stormed the government complex in brazilia, they broke into the national congress building, the office of the president, and the co
two more days and he would tell us what to do, and waiting for the clues and they would parse the photos that we post as enigmatic clues and then no order appeared to come. the armed forces weren t taking action some of the it may have been that frustration and impatience boiled over. but you know, as the government has been saying, and you know, we saw messages and such invitation to the protests on sunday, this wasn t a spontaneous overflow. this was currently something that was organized. at least insofar as the protest itself, whether the actual invasion was planned, or not, the investigation will hopefully get to the bottom of that. but this is something that the investigation is just starting, we re only beginning to understand the forces that brought this about. what about bolsonaro? is there any indication that he is under the threat of investigation for all of this, i mean do we know why he is here
if he did that. we don t know if people are going to come forward and confirm that. that was a clear violation of the law. if you are ever going to look at the military code, it either exists or it doesn t. if we are not going to enforce article 88 then we shouldn t have it in. this is the end of it. this is not the beginning. we have had a long four years. flagrant attacks on the commander in chief. laura: so glad he pointed that out in one of the more famous of these so-called tv generals had something else to say about milley s behavior. we had to be grateful, we had a patriot, man of integrity and experience and good judgment who acted as a final firewall. he never actually told trump he wouldn t do something but he was setting up the conditions to make sure that the armed forces weren t involved in the transition of government. laura: victor, is a general
