00:00Brazil's democracia has performed much, much more effectively and has been much more healthy in recent years than that of
00:08the United States.
00:10It's not easy to protect democracy from an authoritarian former president, and Brazil's institutions deserve a lot of credit for
00:19that.
00:20It's been a democracy for four decades. It's the longest period of democracy in Brazilian history.
00:25Brazil has established itself as one of the most successful democracies in Latin America.
00:31I think Americans would do well to learn from Brazil.
00:36I think that the U.S. administration would like just the opposite,
00:42maybe well aware of the contrast between the relatively effective performance of institutions in Brazil
00:52in holding a former president who tried to subvert democracy accountable
00:56and the utter failure of U.S. institutions to do the same.
01:01So I hope Americans will learn.
