Alex and Jorden break down Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's stunning comeback to a historic fourth term as Brazil's president, Flavio Bolsonaro's refusal to concede, and what the result means for the Trump-aligned right across Latin America. They also cover the midterm final stretch: nearly 29 million early ballots already cast, Democrats spending into deep-red House districts, and President Trump's Port Huron rally pitch of five-thousand-dollar checks and higher gas prices as a small price to pay.
