https://www.PrometheanAction.com — Barbara Boyd opens with Sunday's first round in Brazil, where Flávio Bolsonaro took 47.03% to President Lula da Silva's 45.16%, a result London's Guardian called a shock, ahead of the October 25 runoff. She traces the battle for Brazil: Jair Bolsonaro's narrow defeat in 2022, the January 8, 2023 riots in Brasília, his 2025 conviction in a case overseen by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, Secretary of State Marco Rubio's response, and the Bolsonaro family's gains in Sunday's vote, set against the nationalist wins across Latin America that she ties to the administration's revival of the Monroe Doctrine and the shutdown of USAID. She also looks at China's place as Brazil's biggest customer and at who owns Petrobras. The episode then turns to Sparrows Point in Baltimore County, Maryland, once the world's largest steel mill, where President Trump launched Anduril's $3.7 billion Arsenal-2 shipyard on Tuesday, building components for the Navy's Virginia-class submarines with 3,100 permanent jobs. It closes with Mike Benz, speaking with Benny Johnson, on why financier cartels profit when the state runs the economy, from Big Pharma to climate finance, and Chamath Palihapitiya on why Barack Obama is pushing Democrats toward government regulation of AI.
