[audience cheering]
4
00:00:24,357 --> 00:00:25,650
Thank you so much!
5
00:00:26,317 --> 00:00:28,403
Thank you. Oh, my God!
Welcome to Patriot Act.
6
00:00:28,486 --> 00:00:30,613
I'm Hasan Minhaj. Thank you. We're back!
7
00:00:31,114 --> 00:00:35,618
Oh, my God. Thank you.
Aw, man. It's so good to be back.
8
00:00:36,536 --> 00:00:37,495
Thank you!
9
00:00:38,329 --> 00:00:40,999
Look, so many of you guys
were hitting me up.
10
00:00:41,082 --> 00:00:42,667
"When is Patriot Act coming back?
11
00:00:42,751 --> 00:00:44,544
I need to learn about acid bubbles
in Singapore
12
00:00:44,627 --> 00:00:46,629
with 17 different scatter plots, please."
13
00:00:48,339 --> 00:00:50,091
Now, don't worry, we'll get to that.
14
00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:52,677
But tonight,
I want to talk about the Amazon.
15
00:00:52,761 --> 00:00:55,764
The one that's losing half its assets,
but not to divorce.
16
00:00:56,848 --> 00:00:58,224
When I was growing up,
17
00:00:58,391 --> 00:01:02,062
I heard a lot about
how the Amazon rain forest needed saving.
18
00:01:02,187 --> 00:01:04,564
This is the rain forest in 1900,
19
00:01:05,523 --> 00:01:07,317
and this is the rain forest today.
20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,944
[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle] Who caused
all this damage to the rain forest?
21
00:01:10,028 --> 00:01:11,571
Unfortunately, people did.
22

27
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:27,045
For the record,
28
00:01:27,128 --> 00:01:29,422
I am absolutely fine
destroying the rain forest
29
00:01:29,506 --> 00:01:31,091
as long as that guy lives there.
30
00:01:31,925 --> 00:01:35,887
Look, I always thought that was
the weirdest PSA I had ever seen,
31
00:01:35,970 --> 00:01:38,181
until I saw the one with Kevin Spacey.
32
00:01:38,264 --> 00:01:40,850
[Kevin Spacey] I am the rain forest.
33
00:01:41,351 --> 00:01:43,728
I watched them grow up here.
34
00:01:44,104 --> 00:01:47,565
They'd left, but they always come back.
35
00:01:48,858 --> 00:01:51,861
Yes, they always come back.
36
00:01:53,488 --> 00:01:55,281
That PSA aged so poorly,
37
00:01:55,365 --> 00:01:57,742
Kevin Spacey doesn't even think
it's hot anymore.
38
00:01:58,827 --> 00:01:59,911
I know.
39
00:02:01,830 --> 00:02:04,374
Hey, you didn't think you'd see him
on Netflix again, did you?
40
00:02:06,626 --> 00:02:08,294
They didn't even re-shoot
with Christopher Plummer.
41
00:02:08,378 --> 00:02:09,337
You had no idea.
42
00:02:09,754 --> 00:02:11,756
Now, the reason
you probably stopped seeing PSAs
43
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,967
about the Amazon
and saving the rain forest
44
00:02:14,050 --> 00:02:16,803
is because we actually started saving
the rain forest.
45
00:02:17,178 --> 00:02:21,891
Between 2004 and 2012,
deforestation plunged 84%.
46
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:26,062
Yes. It's shocking. Humans actually
stepped up and did the right thing.
47
00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:27,856
But let's not give ourselves
too much credit.
48
00:02:27,939 --> 00:02:31,985
We didn't save the rain forest
as much as we didn't fully kill it,
49
00:02:32,068 --> 00:02:34,320
but just like Nazis
and high-waisted jeans,
50
00:02:34,404 --> 00:02:36,322
deforestation is making a comeback.
51
00:02:36,406 --> 00:02:41,828
[woman] In the last year alone,Amazon deforestation has jumped 13.7%,
52
00:02:41,911 --> 00:02:45,290
a loss of nearly 1.2 billion trees.
53
00:02:45,373 --> 00:02:47,792
Now, deforestation rates are on the rise,
54
00:02:47,917 --> 00:02:51,129
and this couldn't be happening
at a worse time for the planet
55
00:02:51,212 --> 00:02:55,425
because when it comes to climate change,
we are, and I cannot stress this enough...
56
00:02:55,967 --> 00:02:57,051
fucked.
57
00:02:57,135 --> 00:03:00,138
Dire new warnings
about the effects of climate change.
58
00:03:00,221 --> 00:03:02,015
Intense heat, waves, storms.
59
00:03:02,098 --> 00:03:03,850
[man] Deadly wildfires, droughts.
60
00:03:03,933 --> 00:03:05,143
Ocean dead zones.
61
00:03:05,268 --> 00:03:07,812
People are dying. They are dying.
62
00:03:07,896 --> 00:03:10,023
You know Fox
is gonna use that against her.
63
00:03:10,106 --> 00:03:12,775
They'll be like, "Oh, really?
You're talking about death,
64
00:03:12,859 --> 00:03:14,861
even though you're still alive.
Such a hypocrite.
65
00:03:16,446 --> 00:03:17,947
Really, AOC?"
66
00:03:19,115 --> 00:03:21,534
Now, look, we have to stop messing
with the rain forest.
67
00:03:21,618 --> 00:03:25,246
The Amazon is home to 10%
of all species on Earth.
68
00:03:25,330 --> 00:03:29,250
It absorbs 25% of the carbon emissions
captured by the world's forests.
69
00:03:29,334 --> 00:03:33,046
The Amazon also produces massive amounts
of oxygen and water vapor,
70
00:03:33,129 --> 00:03:34,964
which serves as the Earth cooling system,
71
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:36,716
which is why the Amazon is often called...
72
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:37,800
The lungs of the Earth.
73
00:03:37,884 --> 00:03:38,718
The lungs of the Earth.
74
00:03:38,801 --> 00:03:40,303
The lungs of the Earth.
75
00:03:40,386 --> 00:03:42,722
I don't know if you know this,
but every part of Earth
76
00:03:42,847 --> 00:03:44,182
is actually a body part.
77
00:03:44,265 --> 00:03:46,142
The Amazon is the lungs.
Canada is the forehead.
78
00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:48,144
Iceland is the third nipple.
Malta's the skin tag.
79
00:03:48,228 --> 00:03:49,938
England is the birthmark.
Italy is not the foot.
80
00:03:50,063 --> 00:03:51,314
Australia is the foot.
81
00:03:51,397 --> 00:03:53,274
Italy's the bladder.
Germany's the benign tumor.
82
00:03:53,358 --> 00:03:54,692
North Korea's the malignant tumor.
83
00:03:54,776 --> 00:03:57,528
Argentina is the sinus,
and Fiji is the prostate.
84
00:03:57,612 --> 00:03:59,822
Going there is simply
the greatest pleasure
85
00:03:59,906 --> 00:04:01,157
you will ever experience.
86
00:04:02,617 --> 00:04:05,954
The Amazon
touches nine different countries,
87
00:04:06,037 --> 00:04:09,499
but to really understand why
deforestation is on the rise,
88
00:04:09,624 --> 00:04:12,168
we have to look at the country responsible
for most of it.
89
00:04:12,502 --> 00:04:13,336
Brazil.
90
00:04:13,419 --> 00:04:15,630
Now, there are a lot of great things
about Brazil.
91
00:04:15,713 --> 00:04:18,466
Carnival, Neymar,
some percentage of Hailey Baldwin
92
00:04:18,549 --> 00:04:21,719
and the Brazilian wax,
which is another kind of deforestation.
93
00:04:22,512 --> 00:04:25,431
But it's also very painful.
Over the last five decades,
94
00:04:25,723 --> 00:04:28,851
almost 20% of the Amazon
has been destroyed.
95
00:04:28,935 --> 00:04:31,354
Even though Brazil has laws
to protect the environment,
96
00:04:31,437 --> 00:04:34,899
those laws aren't always enforced because
of insane amounts of political
97
00:04:35,149 --> 00:04:38,236
and corporate greed,
and I know as an American,
98
00:04:38,444 --> 00:04:41,739
we should probably shut the fuck up
when it comes to the moral high ground.
99
00:04:42,573 --> 00:04:44,450
Americans lecturing Brazil
about corruption
100
00:04:44,534 --> 00:04:46,536
is like Steve Bannon
launching a skin care line.
101
00:04:48,413 --> 00:04:49,789
It's just like take care of...
102
00:04:50,748 --> 00:04:52,166
your own shit before you...
103
00:04:53,584 --> 00:04:55,086
dive into the whole face...
104
00:04:56,087 --> 00:04:56,921
thing.
105
00:04:57,463 --> 00:05:01,301
But corruption in Brazil is truly
on a whole other level.
106
00:05:01,426 --> 00:05:04,512
Brazil's last three presidents
were steeped in scandals.
107
00:05:04,595 --> 00:05:07,056
Dilma Rousseff impeached
for financial misconduct.
108
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:09,142
Michel Temer charged with corruption.
109
00:05:09,225 --> 00:05:13,688
And Lula da Silva currently in jail
or stealing DVDs from a Redbox.
110
00:05:14,981 --> 00:05:16,316
I'm just kidding, corruption.
111
00:05:16,482 --> 00:05:20,695
And we haven't even gotten
to Brazil's massive bribery
112
00:05:20,778 --> 00:05:24,365
and money laundering scandal
called Operation Car Wash.
113
00:05:24,449 --> 00:05:28,494
Now I'll let Fareed Zakaria, aka
the original brown John Oliver, explain.
114
00:05:28,578 --> 00:05:32,290
The biggest corruption scandal ever
anywhere in the world,
115
00:05:32,373 --> 00:05:37,045
$788 million in bribesto various officials,
116
00:05:37,128 --> 00:05:41,758
five former Brazilian presidents,nearly one out of three cabinet ministers
117
00:05:41,841 --> 00:05:46,387
and almost one out of three senatorshave been indicted or investigated.
118
00:05:46,471 --> 00:05:50,350
This is the country the world
is relying on to protect the Amazon.
119
00:05:50,433 --> 00:05:53,895
Thank God
America doesn't have that responsibility.
120
00:05:53,978 --> 00:05:55,980
Can you imagine
if we were in charge of the Amazon?
121
00:05:56,105 --> 00:05:59,442
We would probably tear it down
and build a headquarters for Amazon.
122
00:06:01,235 --> 00:06:03,363
You just see a bunch of howler monkeys
123
00:06:03,946 --> 00:06:06,449
driving UPS trucks
with Kindles in their hands.
124
00:06:07,116 --> 00:06:09,577
Now, unfortunately,
things are going to get a lot worse
125
00:06:09,702 --> 00:06:12,330
because of Brazil's current president,
Jair Bolsonaro.
126
00:06:12,413 --> 00:06:15,083
He's a former army captain
who answers the question,
127
00:06:15,249 --> 00:06:17,460
'What if Carl Sagan
wasn't properly embalmed?"
128
00:06:19,003 --> 00:06:21,005
And he's made it very clear
129
00:06:21,089 --> 00:06:23,174
where he stands on the environment.
130
00:06:23,341 --> 00:06:26,177
[woman] Mr. Bolsonaro campaignedto make Brazil great again,
131
00:06:26,344 --> 00:06:28,888
to kick-start it's struggling economy.
132
00:06:28,971 --> 00:06:31,182
And he sees the Amazonas Brazil's cash cow.
133
00:06:31,265 --> 00:06:35,019
He may open up vast sections
of the Amazon rain forest to mining.
134
00:06:35,144 --> 00:06:39,315
He said he's gonna pardon people
who have been fined for deforestation.
135
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:42,527
After all, Brazil does not owe
the world anything
136
00:06:42,610 --> 00:06:44,487
when it comes to environmental protection.
137
00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:47,865
"We don't owe the world anything"
sounds like the chorus to an Eminem song.
138
00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:52,870
Bolsonaro's stance on the environment
doesn't even scratch the surface
139
00:06:52,995 --> 00:06:54,122
of his insanity.
140
00:06:54,205 --> 00:06:58,626
I'm in favor of torture, you know this,
and the people are in favor of it, too.
141
00:06:58,709 --> 00:07:01,170
If it's up to me...
142
00:07:01,254 --> 00:07:04,132
every citizen will have a firearm
in their home.
143
00:07:04,215 --> 00:07:09,470
If your son starts to become like that,
a little gay,
144
00:07:09,554 --> 00:07:11,764
you take a whip
and you change his behavior.
145
00:07:11,889 --> 00:07:13,266
So now I'm a rapist?
146
00:07:13,391 --> 00:07:17,103
I'm a rapist now? I would never rape you
because you don't deserve it.
147
00:07:17,562 --> 00:07:18,521
Jesus.
148
00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:23,151
Bolsonaro sounds like every last comment
before someone is blocked on Twitter.
149
00:07:24,152 --> 00:07:26,904
This is why he's often referred to
as the "Trump of the Tropics."
150
00:07:26,988 --> 00:07:29,490
So think of Trump,
but with even more tiki torches.
151
00:07:29,574 --> 00:07:34,495
Bolsonaro also loves Twitter,
and his tweets are insane.
152
00:07:34,579 --> 00:07:38,124
The president, who tweeted a video
apparently filmed at a carnival event,
153
00:07:38,249 --> 00:07:41,836
showing one man urinating
on another man in a sexual act.
154
00:07:41,919 --> 00:07:43,129
On the plus side,
155
00:07:43,546 --> 00:07:45,756
at least Brazil's seen
their president's pee tape.
156
00:07:45,923 --> 00:07:50,511
Now, eventually, "Golden Shower President"
started trending online.
157
00:07:50,595 --> 00:07:54,223
Bolsonaro then tweeted out,
"What is a golden shower?"
158
00:07:55,975 --> 00:07:59,979
I love how there isn't a Portuguese word
for golden shower.
159
00:08:00,062 --> 00:08:02,523
Like, you ever been to another country
and then you watch TV and they're like...
160
00:08:02,607 --> 00:08:03,608
[speaks gibberish] "Macaulay Culkin."
161
00:08:03,691 --> 00:08:06,194
You're like, "Something's happening
with Macaulay Culkin."
162
00:08:06,277 --> 00:08:09,739
Now, as dangerous as
Bolsonaro's policies are for the Amazon,
163
00:08:09,822 --> 00:08:13,367
that danger is fundamentally being driven
by agribusiness,
164
00:08:13,451 --> 00:08:16,120
which is the industry that produces
the food that we eat.
165
00:08:16,204 --> 00:08:20,041
Agribusiness accounts for almost a quarter
of Brazil's economy
166
00:08:20,124 --> 00:08:23,169
and is one of the biggest drivers
of illegal deforestation.
167
00:08:23,252 --> 00:08:28,174
Brazil is the world's largest exporter
of sugar, coffee, soybeans, orange juice
168
00:08:28,257 --> 00:08:30,885
and most importantly, beef.
169
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:33,054
[woman]
The Amazon is home to millions of species,
170
00:08:33,137 --> 00:08:36,265
and the biggest threatto the rain forest itself is this one.
171
00:08:37,099 --> 00:08:38,226
[moos]
172
00:08:39,143 --> 00:08:44,607
Cattle ranching is responsible
for up to 80% of deforestation.
173
00:08:44,690 --> 00:08:48,194
To turn the rain forest into grassland,
they don't just cut it down.
174
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:49,946
They burn it down.
175
00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:52,573
It's all about creating a new pastures.
176
00:08:52,907 --> 00:08:56,160
The Amazon rain forest
is being burned down and destroyed.
177
00:08:56,285 --> 00:08:58,287
[man] Elizeu takes pictures of the tragedy
178
00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:01,123
in order to tell the authoritieswhat's going on here.
179
00:09:01,749 --> 00:09:05,253
Anything that can still move triesto escape the inferno.
180
00:09:06,170 --> 00:09:07,296
[audience groans]
181
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:10,758
No, don't worry. That rat goes on
to become a chef in Paris.
182
00:09:10,841 --> 00:09:11,717
It's beautiful.
183
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:17,848
Brazil's beef industry is a huge driver
of Amazon deforestation.
184
00:09:17,974 --> 00:09:21,686
And it's dominated by a single company
called JBS.
185
00:09:21,769 --> 00:09:24,021
They're the largest
meat processing company in the world.
186
00:09:24,105 --> 00:09:28,067
Last year, JBS made $46 billion.
187
00:09:28,442 --> 00:09:29,860
That's a double what McDonald's made.
188
00:09:29,986 --> 00:09:34,323
Even more surprising, Brazil only accounts
for 24% of their revenue.
189
00:09:34,824 --> 00:09:38,369
Their US division generates 76%.
190
00:09:38,452 --> 00:09:40,913
That's 35.2 billion.
191
00:09:40,997 --> 00:09:44,208
That's right, America.
Once again, we are fucking shit up.
192
00:09:45,668 --> 00:09:48,879
Look, if it's terrible,
we're probably in the mix.
193
00:09:49,130 --> 00:09:51,674
We're like the raisins
of international relations.
194
00:09:52,717 --> 00:09:55,344
Like, the rest of the world is like,
"We fucking hate raisins."
195
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:58,139
And we're like, "Raisins are essential
to democracy.
196
00:09:58,472 --> 00:10:02,184
Raisins have to be in everything,
raisins need to be in Afghanistan
197
00:10:02,310 --> 00:10:04,312
for three plus decades."
198
00:10:05,354 --> 00:10:10,901
JBS also happens to be one of the most
corrupt companies in the world,
199
00:10:11,027 --> 00:10:13,446
which isn't shocking because
for a long time,
200
00:10:13,529 --> 00:10:15,906
it was run by Joesley and Wesley Batista.
201
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:17,533
The Batista brothers. Now, come on.
202
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:19,702
Their names are Joesley and Wesley.
203
00:10:19,785 --> 00:10:23,247
They look like dudes on a yacht
Liam Neeson has to rescue girls from.
204
00:10:23,831 --> 00:10:27,418
The Batista brothers are possibly two
of the most corrupt people on Earth,
205
00:10:27,501 --> 00:10:29,503
and they have history
with the Bolsonaro administration.
206
00:10:29,587 --> 00:10:32,882
Bolsonaro's current chief of staff
has admitted to taking money from JBS,
207
00:10:32,965 --> 00:10:36,886
and in the past, the woman who is now
Bolsonaro's minister of agriculture
208
00:10:37,011 --> 00:10:41,098
gave JBS tax breaks while also doing
personal business with them.
209
00:10:41,182 --> 00:10:43,768
The fact that senior members
of the Bolsonaro administration
210
00:10:44,060 --> 00:10:46,896
are closely linked to JBS
is a huge liability
211
00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:50,107
because the last president that got
entangled with the Batista Brothers
212
00:10:50,483 --> 00:10:53,152
was Michel Temer, and it ended horribly.
213
00:10:53,277 --> 00:10:57,365
[woman] Joesley Batista, owner of JBS,
214
00:10:57,448 --> 00:11:01,911
had recorded the president Michel Temerin an embarrassing conversation.
215
00:11:01,994 --> 00:11:05,873
[woman 2] In exchange for no jail time,Joesley Batista strikes a deal,
216
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:12,338
providing information about bribing1,829 Brazilian politicians.
217
00:11:12,421 --> 00:11:16,092
The Batista brothers admitted
to bribing almost 2,000 politicians,
218
00:11:16,217 --> 00:11:19,011
spent roughly $150 million just in bribes
219
00:11:19,095 --> 00:11:23,224
and agreed to pay a fine of $3.2 billion,
220
00:11:23,307 --> 00:11:26,769
which is almost how much Facebook has
to pay for destroying democracy.
221
00:11:27,812 --> 00:11:28,979
Shouldn't it be, like, more?
222
00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:33,359
It should definitely be more.
JBS' business practices continue
223
00:11:33,442 --> 00:11:34,485
to do environmental damage.
224
00:11:34,610 --> 00:11:37,405
They have been accused of buying cattle
from illegally deforested land
225
00:11:37,488 --> 00:11:40,950
in the Amazon, even though they deny it
and investigators recently arrested
226
00:11:41,033 --> 00:11:43,160
Joesley Batista again
227
00:11:43,411 --> 00:11:46,497
for allegedly bribing officials
at Brazil's agriculture Ministry,
228
00:11:46,580 --> 00:11:49,166
If that doesn't make you sick,
their beef just might.
229
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:52,420
JBS bribed Brazilian food inspectors
to give passing grades to spoiled meat.
230
00:11:52,503 --> 00:11:53,796
And on the US side,
231
00:11:54,046 --> 00:11:55,840
their meat isn't any better.
232
00:11:55,965 --> 00:11:58,718
A massive ground beef recall
is now expanding.
233
00:11:58,801 --> 00:12:02,054
The USDA says the Brazilian company,
JBS is now recalling
234
00:12:02,179 --> 00:12:06,308
more than 12 million pounds of ground beef
shipped to stores across the US.
235
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:07,518
This past year,
236
00:12:07,643 --> 00:12:11,105
JBS beef and chicken from the US
were found to have been contaminated
237
00:12:11,313 --> 00:12:13,524
with hard plastic, rubber and e-coli.
238
00:12:13,607 --> 00:12:16,360
All of which
generally cost extra at Chipotle.
239
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:18,154
But even before that,
240
00:12:18,237 --> 00:12:23,451
the US had banned all Brazilian beef
imports, including JBS, indefinitely.
241
00:12:23,534 --> 00:12:27,538
Do you know how bad your meat has to be
for Americans to notice?
242
00:12:28,748 --> 00:12:31,125
We thought Super Size Me
was just a normal movie.
243
00:12:31,208 --> 00:12:32,084
No lessons.
244
00:12:32,918 --> 00:12:34,920
It actually just made us hungrier.
245
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:39,216
The Amazon has never been more vulnerable.
246
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:42,595
Between political corruption,
Bolsonaro's pro-business agenda
247
00:12:42,678 --> 00:12:44,555
and the incentives of agribusiness,
248
00:12:44,638 --> 00:12:46,682
the Amazon is going to keep burning.
249
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:49,560
But there is some hope.
The strongest blockade
250
00:12:49,727 --> 00:12:54,273
against deforestation isn't
more regulation or enforcement or fines,
251
00:12:54,815 --> 00:12:55,816
it's people.
252
00:12:55,900 --> 00:12:58,486
[woman]
The Javari Valley Indigenous Reserve...
253
00:12:58,569 --> 00:12:59,570
[bird cawing]
254
00:12:59,653 --> 00:13:03,949
eight million hectaresof Brazilian Amazon, the size of Austria.
255
00:13:04,033 --> 00:13:08,370
It's home to the largest numberof non-contacted tribes in the world,
256
00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:10,623
photographed only rarely from the air.
257
00:13:10,706 --> 00:13:13,292
There are nearly a million
indigenous people in Brazil,
258
00:13:13,375 --> 00:13:16,378
and almost half of them live
in the rain forest.
259
00:13:16,462 --> 00:13:18,672
Research shows that
when indigenous people
260
00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:20,508
have legal and physical protection,
261
00:13:20,591 --> 00:13:23,552
so does the rain forest.
Now, I know this looks like a map
262
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:26,222
of the only school of vaccinated kids
in Orange County, but...
263
00:13:26,847 --> 00:13:30,309
it's actually a time-lapse
of deforestation.
264
00:13:30,392 --> 00:13:33,562
The red is loggers and ranchers,
and that part right there
265
00:13:33,938 --> 00:13:37,441
is protected indigenous land,
and the only reason they stop
266
00:13:37,733 --> 00:13:40,277
is because these tribes
are not fucking around.
267
00:13:40,361 --> 00:13:43,280
[man] The Guajajara Indians armedand in full camouflage,
268
00:13:43,405 --> 00:13:45,115
crouch down for an ambush.
269
00:13:45,199 --> 00:13:48,118
These vigilante patrols begansix years ago
270
00:13:48,202 --> 00:13:50,830
as a way to battlethe region's powerful logging mafia.
271
00:13:51,413 --> 00:13:53,582
They call themselvesThe Guardians of the Forest.
272
00:13:53,666 --> 00:13:58,337
The Guajajara are one of 305 tribes
that have official demarcated land
273
00:13:58,420 --> 00:14:02,258
that is legally protected
by Brazil's Constitution,
274
00:14:02,383 --> 00:14:03,968
but it is still a war for them.
275
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:07,096
And look, I know.
Deforestation has been on the rise
276
00:14:07,179 --> 00:14:10,182
well before Bolsonaro,
but no modern Brazilian president
277
00:14:10,641 --> 00:14:13,894
has ever been this hostile
toward the indigenous.
278
00:14:13,978 --> 00:14:17,898
There's not going to be
a centimeter of land
279
00:14:17,982 --> 00:14:20,234
demarcated for indigenous reservations.
280
00:14:20,359 --> 00:14:24,363
You said recently
that if it depended on you,
281
00:14:24,446 --> 00:14:26,657
the Indians wouldn't have even one...
282
00:14:27,157 --> 00:14:28,742
-Centimeter.
-centimeter of land.
283
00:14:28,826 --> 00:14:31,787
Centimeter, I said it wrong.
Not even one millimeter.
284
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:34,915
I don't know, racism sounds weird to me
when you use the metric system.
285
00:14:37,418 --> 00:14:41,130
I mean, if they're like, "Build the wall,
one kilometer at a time."
286
00:14:41,213 --> 00:14:42,548
I'd be like, I don't...
287
00:14:43,090 --> 00:14:44,174
I don't get it.
288
00:14:46,886 --> 00:14:50,389
Bolsonaro is not just dog whistling
to his base.
289
00:14:50,472 --> 00:14:52,057
He is barking through a megaphone.
290
00:14:52,141 --> 00:14:54,184
On the night of Bolsonaro's election
in October,
291
00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:57,021
a hospital and a school
on an indigenous reserve
292
00:14:57,104 --> 00:14:59,982
were fire-bombed and land invasion,
when loggers and ranchers
293
00:15:00,065 --> 00:15:04,069
take indigenous land,
that has increased 150%.
294
00:15:04,153 --> 00:15:08,324
[woman] Protected areas bordersare a thorn in the side of many farmers.
295
00:15:08,574 --> 00:15:11,535
They want their cattleto be able to penetrate the reserve.
296
00:15:11,619 --> 00:15:16,540
First of all, I believe in God and then in
the words of our President Bolsonaro.
297
00:15:16,624 --> 00:15:21,295
He promised we would soon be able
to enter the reserve.
298
00:15:21,378 --> 00:15:23,964
The department in charge
of overseeing indigenous lands
299
00:15:24,131 --> 00:15:25,549
is an agency called Funai.
300
00:15:25,633 --> 00:15:29,845
On Bolsonaro's first day in office,
he took that function away from Funai
301
00:15:30,095 --> 00:15:32,097
and gave it
to the Ministry of Agriculture.
302
00:15:32,222 --> 00:15:35,809
Remember? The same government agency
that JBS paid off for years.
303
00:15:35,893 --> 00:15:39,063
And even now,
Brazil's Agriculture Minister
304
00:15:39,188 --> 00:15:42,816
wants to open indigenous land
to commercial farming,
305
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:45,903
but indigenous tribes are fighting back
to defend their land,
306
00:15:46,236 --> 00:15:49,406
and no one has brought more attention
to the movement in recent years
307
00:15:49,573 --> 00:15:52,326
than Sônia Guajajara.
She's a prominent activist
308
00:15:52,451 --> 00:15:55,204
for indigenous rights
and was the first indigenous woman
309
00:15:55,287 --> 00:15:58,832
in Brazil's history
to run for vice president.
310
00:15:59,249 --> 00:16:01,627
So I sat down with Sônia
and her translator
311
00:16:01,710 --> 00:16:04,088
to talk about her fight
to protect the Amazon.
312
00:16:04,171 --> 00:16:07,383
Here in America, we've already destroyed
all of our forests,
313
00:16:07,466 --> 00:16:09,969
and we raise millions of cows.
314
00:16:10,094 --> 00:16:13,097
So do we sound like assholes
when we say, "Hey, Brazil.
315
00:16:13,597 --> 00:16:16,308
Don't cut down your trees
and don't raise cows"?
316
00:16:16,392 --> 00:16:21,689
Now, maybe you have to compensate
for what was done here.
317
00:16:21,772 --> 00:16:26,986
Because when you cut your forests,
it doesn't harm only you.
318
00:16:27,152 --> 00:16:31,448
If you cut it in one place,
it harms the entire world.
319
00:16:31,573 --> 00:16:33,158
But you're saying we're assholes?
320
00:16:33,242 --> 00:16:36,787
You are saying it, and I'm affirming it.
321
00:16:37,788 --> 00:16:38,747
It's true.
322
00:16:39,748 --> 00:16:41,166
Look, we're assholes, all right?
323
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:43,043
I admit it. America, we're assholes.
324
00:16:43,127 --> 00:16:45,629
We still haven't given
Captain America a promotion.
325
00:16:45,754 --> 00:16:46,588
I mean...
326
00:16:47,589 --> 00:16:50,884
What does a guy have to do
to become Major America?
327
00:16:52,386 --> 00:16:54,596
Now, for Sônia and her tribe,
328
00:16:55,055 --> 00:16:58,517
protecting their homeland
gets more urgent every day.
329
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,439
Deforestation, apart from it
ending nature and the environment,
330
00:17:03,522 --> 00:17:06,316
it provokes a gigantic conflict
331
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,612
between indigenous people
and non-indigenous people.
332
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:14,908
We already had several cases
of indigenous people,
333
00:17:14,992 --> 00:17:18,203
guardians of the land,
that were assassinated
334
00:17:18,287 --> 00:17:21,206
simply because they were
defending their land.
335
00:17:21,290 --> 00:17:25,210
Last month, tribes from around Brazil
gathered in the capital
336
00:17:25,294 --> 00:17:27,880
for an annual march
to protect indigenous rights
337
00:17:28,005 --> 00:17:30,007
and take on Bolsonaro's policies.
338
00:17:30,090 --> 00:17:33,010
Bolsonaro has escalated the fight
against the indigenous,
339
00:17:33,093 --> 00:17:37,347
but in many ways, he's just adding
to a dark chapter of Brazil's history.
340
00:17:37,431 --> 00:17:42,061
519 years after the Portuguese set foot
in Brazil, it's the same fight.
341
00:17:42,144 --> 00:17:44,855
On one side,
are the people who live on the land
342
00:17:44,938 --> 00:17:45,898
and want to protect it.
343
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:49,068
And on the other side are the people
who see the Amazon
344
00:17:49,151 --> 00:17:50,694
as a resource to exploit.
345
00:17:51,111 --> 00:17:54,073
In Sônia's lifetime alone,
over 1,400 people
346
00:17:54,281 --> 00:17:56,533
have been murdered in Brazil
because of land disputes,
347
00:17:56,617 --> 00:17:57,993
but she isn't backing down.
348
00:17:58,118 --> 00:18:00,496
Sônia doesn't just take on Bolsonaro
in real life,
349
00:18:00,579 --> 00:18:02,289
she trolls him online, too.
350
00:18:02,372 --> 00:18:03,624
How did you get into the meme game?
351
00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:04,917
Let me guess, it was your son.
352
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,213
Of course. My son has a big influence.
353
00:18:09,296 --> 00:18:11,298
I've seen a lot of your memes.
354
00:18:11,381 --> 00:18:13,759
You have the classic
Pinocchio Bolsonaro meme,
355
00:18:14,176 --> 00:18:17,721
you have the golden showers dog
peeing in Bolsonaro's mouth meme,
356
00:18:17,805 --> 00:18:20,057
-Sí.
-and then, of course, you've got this one.
357
00:18:20,140 --> 00:18:22,059
I honestly don't know
what's happening here.
358
00:18:22,226 --> 00:18:24,269
So I wanted to help you with your memes.
359
00:18:24,353 --> 00:18:25,187
Is that okay?
360
00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:26,105
Claro.
361
00:18:26,188 --> 00:18:27,856
Okay. So, let me know
what you think of these.
362
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:31,777
This says, "When you're Bolsonaro
and you haven't displaced
363
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:33,529
an indigenous person in eight minutes."
364
00:18:33,612 --> 00:18:36,573
This is Bolsonaro, and he's getting one
of those huge veins in his head.
365
00:18:36,657 --> 00:18:37,533
Where he's like...
366
00:18:37,616 --> 00:18:40,160
It's like if he doesn't say anything
about indigenous people,
367
00:18:40,244 --> 00:18:41,411
he looks constipated.
368
00:18:41,829 --> 00:18:44,540
I suppose he really would be like that
369
00:18:44,623 --> 00:18:47,417
because he talks about
indigenous people every day.
370
00:18:47,501 --> 00:18:48,335
How about this one?
371
00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:50,462
"You can't be jailed for corruption
372
00:18:50,546 --> 00:18:52,840
if climate change wipes out
all the people."
373
00:18:54,258 --> 00:18:55,801
This one's not funny.
374
00:18:55,884 --> 00:18:58,679
It's all good. This doesn't work.
The meme game is a volume business.
375
00:18:58,762 --> 00:19:01,265
Everything's not gonna hit.
You've seen the girlfriend meme, right?
376
00:19:01,348 --> 00:19:02,850
This is the Amazon rain forest.
377
00:19:02,975 --> 00:19:06,436
This guy here, that's the agribusiness
lobby being like, "Oh, damn!"
378
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,272
Okay? And this is oxygen,
379
00:19:08,355 --> 00:19:11,942
and oxygen's like,
"Hello. We're together."
380
00:19:12,025 --> 00:19:13,235
So what?
381
00:19:13,318 --> 00:19:14,486
What do you think of the meme?
382
00:19:14,570 --> 00:19:17,281
I don't like this one.
383
00:19:17,406 --> 00:19:18,699
All right. How about this?
384
00:19:18,782 --> 00:19:21,743
This is Bolsonaro, he's like,
really staring at the Amazon.
385
00:19:21,827 --> 00:19:22,744
Super creepy.
386
00:19:22,828 --> 00:19:24,997
And the girlfriends like,
"God, you're such a dick."
387
00:19:28,208 --> 00:19:32,212
Sônia, you posted a photo
of a dog peeing in Bolsonaro's mouth,
388
00:19:32,337 --> 00:19:36,008
I think these are good,
but they not working for me.
389
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:39,511
All right, Sônia may not like
my memes but...
390
00:19:40,304 --> 00:19:42,806
I don't know. I wanted to take a page out
of her playbook.
391
00:19:42,890 --> 00:19:44,433
I wanted to find a way
392
00:19:44,641 --> 00:19:47,102
to troll Bolsonaro
and help at the same time.
393
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:49,813
So we thought, "Why not buy a website?"
394
00:19:49,897 --> 00:19:54,359
Obviously, goldenshower.com
was long gone.
395
00:19:55,235 --> 00:19:57,821
Goldenshowerpresident.com
was also taken,
396
00:19:57,905 --> 00:19:59,198
probably by Michael Cohen.
397
00:19:59,281 --> 00:20:02,326
But we were able to get...
398
00:20:02,784 --> 00:20:05,370
goldenshowerpresidente.com
399
00:20:06,788 --> 00:20:11,501
Like, how did Bolsonaro's digital team
not beat us to this?
400
00:20:12,377 --> 00:20:15,881
It's just been there the whole time.
If you go to goldenshowerpresidente.com,
401
00:20:16,089 --> 00:20:20,260
you can donate to organizations that
help protect the Amazon and its people.
402
00:20:20,344 --> 00:20:23,555
Remember, it's goldenshowerpresidente,
403
00:20:23,639 --> 00:20:24,973
The "e" is very important,
404
00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:29,228
because we're trying to help
the rain forest, not get you fired.
405
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:39,780
I wish I could tell you we're done
talking about violent autocrats,
406
00:20:39,863 --> 00:20:40,781
but I can't.
407
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,616
Autocrats are like romaine lettuce.
408
00:20:42,699 --> 00:20:45,744
They're everywhere and every so often,
they go on a killing spree,
409
00:20:46,370 --> 00:20:49,373
which is why I want to spend a little time
focusing on the Philippines,
410
00:20:49,456 --> 00:20:51,750
because Indians and Filipinos,
we're pretty much the same.
411
00:20:51,833 --> 00:20:53,085
I'm serious, we're like this.
412
00:20:53,168 --> 00:20:55,295
We love family, religion,
transition lenses,
413
00:20:55,379 --> 00:20:59,383
giving our kids bowl cuts, and we are both
brought to you by Kaiser Permanente.
414
00:21:00,342 --> 00:21:03,262
Tomorrow, the Philippines are holding
their midterm elections,
415
00:21:03,553 --> 00:21:06,306
and you know how in America,
politics is like sports?
416
00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:08,892
It's all about match ups.
Trump versus Hillary,
417
00:21:09,059 --> 00:21:10,352
Pete versus Beto,
418
00:21:10,644 --> 00:21:12,271
Biden versus woman's shoulders.
419
00:21:13,730 --> 00:21:17,359
In the Philippines, it's the same thing,
except their politicians
420
00:21:17,651 --> 00:21:20,279
literally play basketball
against each other.
421
00:21:20,362 --> 00:21:23,407
[man]
Number 21, Director Bonny Bangladdie.
422
00:21:23,490 --> 00:21:27,703
Number 17, City ProsecutorRomulon Tagaligud.
423
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:30,831
Number 19, Director Homer Arenzo.
424
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,792
Boy, is this the Philippines
425
00:21:34,543 --> 00:21:36,420
or the 24 Hour Fitness in San Jose?
426
00:21:36,503 --> 00:21:40,090
Because I have definitely played
with goggles guy.His name is Alfonso.
427
00:21:40,173 --> 00:21:42,467
He never passes the ball,
and he can't go left.
428
00:21:43,093 --> 00:21:48,223
Now, normally, midterms act as a check
on the president's power.
429
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:52,144
But there is nothing normal
about President Rodrigo Duterte.
430
00:21:52,269 --> 00:21:55,063
Hitler massacred three million Jews.
431
00:21:55,147 --> 00:21:57,232
There is three million drug addicts.
432
00:21:57,316 --> 00:21:59,109
I'd be happy to slaughter them.
433
00:21:59,192 --> 00:22:01,194
If you are corrupt,
434
00:22:01,278 --> 00:22:03,989
I will fetch you using a helicopter
to Manila,
435
00:22:04,114 --> 00:22:05,324
and I will throw you out.
436
00:22:05,407 --> 00:22:08,285
Are there women? Are they holding guns?
437
00:22:08,368 --> 00:22:10,037
Shoot them in the vagina.
438
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:11,246
Fuck you.
439
00:22:12,998 --> 00:22:14,833
Okay, that doesn't sound like a president.
440
00:22:14,916 --> 00:22:18,045
That sounds like someone who stole
your parking spot at Costco.
441
00:22:19,504 --> 00:22:21,048
You'd be like,
"Hey, man, you're in my spot."
442
00:22:21,131 --> 00:22:22,174
He's like, "Fuck you."
443
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:24,760
In the last three years,
444
00:22:25,469 --> 00:22:29,097
Duterte has presided over
a brutal drug war,
445
00:22:29,222 --> 00:22:31,224
cracking down on shabu
or crystal meth,
446
00:22:31,308 --> 00:22:34,436
and let's just say,
his tactics are pretty extreme.
447
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:38,273
My campaign against drugs will not stop
448
00:22:39,066 --> 00:22:41,526
until the last pusher
449
00:22:41,860 --> 00:22:45,614
and the last drug lord are...
450
00:22:45,697 --> 00:22:47,699
[imitates knife slashing]
451
00:22:48,909 --> 00:22:50,160
Oh, my God.
452
00:22:50,827 --> 00:22:54,331
He beheads drug dealers
like a Looney Tunes Isis video?
453
00:22:54,706 --> 00:22:57,501
Why does he sound like Donald Duck
joined the Islamic State?
454
00:22:58,460 --> 00:23:00,462
Just... [imitates knife slashing]
455
00:23:00,962 --> 00:23:02,672
Now estimates vary,
456
00:23:03,006 --> 00:23:05,675
but according to the Philippine Commission
on Human Rights,
457
00:23:05,759 --> 00:23:07,761
since Duterte took office in 2016,
458
00:23:07,844 --> 00:23:10,597
the death toll from extrajudicial killing
could be as high...
459
00:23:11,348 --> 00:23:14,101
as 27,000. That is horrific.
460
00:23:14,309 --> 00:23:16,978
Here in America,
we don't kill our drug dealers, okay?
461
00:23:17,062 --> 00:23:19,689
We have the decency
to name museums after them.
462
00:23:21,149 --> 00:23:23,360
The human cost
of Duterte's war is appalling,
463
00:23:23,443 --> 00:23:25,862
and suspected drug dealers
aren't the only victims.
464
00:23:26,446 --> 00:23:28,490
Other Filipinos are getting caught
in the crossfire.
465
00:23:28,573 --> 00:23:30,242
Over a thousand civilians
466
00:23:30,325 --> 00:23:32,953
were killed in the Philippines in 2018,
more than Iraq,
467
00:23:33,203 --> 00:23:35,664
Somalia
or the Democratic Republic of Congo.
468
00:23:35,747 --> 00:23:37,207
It's been called
the worst human rights crisis
469
00:23:37,290 --> 00:23:40,168
in the Philippines in almost 50 years.
470
00:23:40,252 --> 00:23:41,545
Here's what's even more shocking.
471
00:23:42,129 --> 00:23:44,589
As the body count rises,
so does Duterte's popularity
472
00:23:44,714 --> 00:23:47,092
according to a recent poll,
Duterte's approval rating
473
00:23:47,175 --> 00:23:49,177
is as high as 81%.
474
00:23:50,345 --> 00:23:51,930
Probably because he killed the other 19%.
475
00:23:52,013 --> 00:23:53,598
But a lot of Filipinos
476
00:23:53,682 --> 00:23:57,561
support Duterte because he cuts taxes,
provides free college tuition
477
00:23:57,644 --> 00:23:58,895
and invests in infrastructure.
478
00:23:58,979 --> 00:24:01,731
Even if people are being rounded up
and killed without trial,
479
00:24:02,315 --> 00:24:04,943
they'll be like,
"Hey, at least he's tough on crime."
480
00:24:05,068 --> 00:24:08,155
And tomorrow, more candidates
like Duterte are poised to win.
481
00:24:08,238 --> 00:24:10,157
Twelve senate seats are up for grabs,
482
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,035
and seven of the most popular candidates
are backed by Duterte.
483
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,872
So, let's look at a starting lineup.
First off, we have Imee Marcos,
484
00:24:16,955 --> 00:24:19,332
the daughter of Ferdinand Marcos,
who ruled the Philippines
485
00:24:19,416 --> 00:24:21,126
as a brutal dictator for two decades.
486
00:24:21,251 --> 00:24:24,254
During that time,
her dad allegedly embezzled
487
00:24:24,337 --> 00:24:27,132
$5 to $10 billion.
488
00:24:27,215 --> 00:24:30,635
And her mom used some of that money
to buy 3,000 pairs of shoes.
489
00:24:30,719 --> 00:24:32,929
Now, I don't know why the people think
that's such a big deal.
490
00:24:33,013 --> 00:24:34,222
That's a healthy collection.
491
00:24:35,724 --> 00:24:38,935
You have the Jordan 11s, but not the 12s?
You gotta have the whole collection.
492
00:24:39,019 --> 00:24:42,647
But Imee Marcos has dad's dictator DNA.
493
00:24:42,731 --> 00:24:46,318
In a default judgment,
a US court said that in 1977,
494
00:24:46,401 --> 00:24:50,071
Imee Marcos had a college student tortured
and killed
495
00:24:50,238 --> 00:24:52,741
for asking her a question
at a public forum,
496
00:24:52,824 --> 00:24:56,161
you know, just a politician
with literal skeletons in her closet.
497
00:24:56,661 --> 00:25:00,415
Also running for senate is Bong Go,
who's Duterte's special assistant.
498
00:25:00,499 --> 00:25:02,959
Bong Go is known for one thing.
499
00:25:03,043 --> 00:25:04,711
[woman]
Go is known as the national photobomber
500
00:25:04,794 --> 00:25:07,547
because of his reputationfor taking selfie-style photos
501
00:25:07,631 --> 00:25:09,799
during Duterte's most historic moments.
502
00:25:09,883 --> 00:25:12,219
Bong Go. Quit being that thirsty friend.
503
00:25:12,302 --> 00:25:14,554
Ask people if they want
to be in the picture.
504
00:25:14,638 --> 00:25:16,348
You're like Filipino Cory Booker.
505
00:25:17,349 --> 00:25:18,558
Look at all the selfies.
506
00:25:18,642 --> 00:25:22,562
Trudeau, Obama, Trump
and a mannequin at H&M.
507
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:25,065
Bong Go was like,
"Come on, let's take a picture."
508
00:25:25,148 --> 00:25:27,692
Then Duterte put his arm
around the mannequin.
509
00:25:27,943 --> 00:25:30,820
He just naturally gravitates towards
the nearest dead body.
510
00:25:30,987 --> 00:25:34,032
Now, Bong Go also has his own
line of sneakers
511
00:25:34,115 --> 00:25:35,450
called "Bong Go 3-Point King."
512
00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:38,787
It's straight up big baller Bong Go brand,
cuatro Bs.
513
00:25:38,870 --> 00:25:43,416
Can you imagine if our presidential
sidekicks had signature shoes?
514
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:46,545
No one is rocking Air Kushner's
except for Netanyahu.
515
00:25:46,628 --> 00:25:50,090
Now, another favorite for senate
is Bato dela Rosa,
516
00:25:50,173 --> 00:25:53,426
the former head
of Duterte's Philippine National Police.
517
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:55,512
[man] Another night and another killing
518
00:25:55,595 --> 00:25:57,847
in the Philippine government'swar on drugs.
519
00:25:57,931 --> 00:26:01,142
Ronald Bato dela Rosa,nicknamed "The Rock,"
520
00:26:01,226 --> 00:26:03,395
was chief of police during the killings.
521
00:26:03,478 --> 00:26:08,358
He's widely regarded as the architectof the controversial drug war operations.
522
00:26:08,441 --> 00:26:11,027
Yeah, he's the brilliant architect
behind the drug war
523
00:26:11,111 --> 00:26:14,406
so he's basically the Frank Lloyd Wright
of killing everyone,
524
00:26:14,489 --> 00:26:16,032
everywhere, all the time.
525
00:26:17,492 --> 00:26:19,077
These are the candidates
526
00:26:19,369 --> 00:26:22,831
expected to gain power tomorrow,
which would mean
527
00:26:22,914 --> 00:26:25,625
voters are co-signing
Duterte's bloody drug war
528
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:28,962
through 2022, and this deadly crackdown
isn't just brutal,
529
00:26:29,337 --> 00:26:30,380
it's ineffective.
530
00:26:30,630 --> 00:26:32,132
It hasn't stopped the flow of drugs.
531
00:26:32,215 --> 00:26:33,216
In many neighborhoods,
532
00:26:33,300 --> 00:26:37,137
crystal meth is actually getting cheaper
and more accessible.
533
00:26:37,220 --> 00:26:40,015
Duterte's war
hasn't addressed the root of the problem.
534
00:26:40,098 --> 00:26:43,059
Duterte has exaggerated the drug problem
in the Philippines
535
00:26:43,143 --> 00:26:46,771
to justify an inhumane war,
one that doesn't even address
536
00:26:46,855 --> 00:26:49,691
what experts say
is the main cause of drug use:
537
00:26:49,899 --> 00:26:53,987
Poverty, which afflicts
more than 20% of the population.
538
00:26:54,112 --> 00:26:58,283
Instead, his aggressive drug warhas mainly targeted the urban poor.
539
00:26:58,366 --> 00:27:00,910
Critics say
the war on drugs has mostly hit
540
00:27:00,994 --> 00:27:04,289
small-time users and dealers,
while the kingpins are still at large.
541
00:27:04,372 --> 00:27:08,168
But Duterte's administration doesn't seem
to care about the human cost.
542
00:27:08,251 --> 00:27:12,631
You don't sound terribly compassionate
to people who might be poor and innocent.
543
00:27:12,714 --> 00:27:14,132
Why is a victim less credible
than a police officer?
544
00:27:14,215 --> 00:27:17,677
There may be people
who have been killed in the process.
545
00:27:18,136 --> 00:27:19,763
In other words,
those are collateral damages.
546
00:27:19,888 --> 00:27:21,848
I mean, really,
they're shooting each other.
547
00:27:21,931 --> 00:27:26,019
Suddenly, a passerby, an innocent one,
poor one, dies.
548
00:27:26,394 --> 00:27:29,189
I don't think you can blame that
to the police.
549
00:27:29,272 --> 00:27:31,650
He's like,
"Hey, you can't make an omelette
550
00:27:31,733 --> 00:27:33,985
without shooting a few eggs
execution style.
551
00:27:34,819 --> 00:27:37,238
Comes with the territory."
Now, some Filipinos
552
00:27:37,322 --> 00:27:40,575
are standing up to Duterte,
people like journalist Maria Ressa.
553
00:27:41,159 --> 00:27:44,788
I've been arrested twice in five weeks,
detained once.
554
00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:50,669
And the only thing I've done,
my only crime is to be a journalist,
555
00:27:50,752 --> 00:27:52,420
to speak truth to power.
556
00:27:52,504 --> 00:27:54,506
But it can't just be a journalists.
557
00:27:54,631 --> 00:27:57,509
The Philippines need politicians
courageous enough
558
00:27:57,801 --> 00:28:01,054
to stand up to Duterte,
like Senator Leila de Lima.
559
00:28:01,179 --> 00:28:03,348
She has spoken out
against Duterte's drug war.
560
00:28:03,473 --> 00:28:06,059
So, Duterte threw her in jail.
561
00:28:06,184 --> 00:28:07,852
They think they can silence me.
562
00:28:07,977 --> 00:28:10,188
They think I will stop fighting
what I believe in,
563
00:28:10,271 --> 00:28:13,066
for truth and justice,
for the daily killings.
564
00:28:13,149 --> 00:28:16,403
It is an honor for me to go to prison
for what I believe in.
565
00:28:16,486 --> 00:28:20,907
Senator de Lima was locked up
for two years before she got a trial.
566
00:28:21,032 --> 00:28:24,619
Tomorrow's midterm election
isn't likely to change much,
567
00:28:25,078 --> 00:28:25,912
which is upsetting.
568
00:28:25,995 --> 00:28:28,289
I told you,
I feel a deep connection to Filipinos.
569
00:28:28,748 --> 00:28:33,128
I love transition lenses, bowl cuts
and Jollibee, but this...
570
00:28:33,670 --> 00:28:35,672
[imitates knife slashing]
571
00:28:36,089 --> 00:28:37,590
That's not the answer.
572
00:28:37,716 --> 00:28:40,719
