Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
The king welcomes Ana Paula Henkel to discuss the tight presidential election in Brazil to be held Sunday. It pits incumbent president Jair Bolsonaro against leftist ex-con and former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (a.k.a., Lula). This week, leftist judges shut down press freedoms for Bolsonaro supporters and the polling is very tight.
Ana is a conservative Brazilian political analyst now living in the US. Formerly, she played for Brazil’s National Volleyball Team and competed in four Olympic Games. She is the two-time world champion in beach volleyball, and won the bronze in 1996 in indoor volleyball. Ana’s commentary can be found in Revista Oeste and Jovem Pan. You can also find her on Twitter where she has 1.5 million followers.
Then Jon talks about the disastrous Fetterman/Oz debate, evaluates the latest midterm news, and elaborates on his viral Ricochet column “We Are No Longer Conservatives; We Are Restorationists.”
Subscribe to the King of Stuff Spotify playlist featuring picks from the show. Continuing the Brazilian theme, Jon recommends his favorite song of all time, “Águas de Março” by Antônio Carlos Jobim.

hahaha… Excellent point, sir.
Great podcast. Everybody should listen to it. Mens sana in corpore sano. Yes, guys, not only is she brilliant and athletic, but IMO way hotter than AOC. If I’m allowed to have an opinion, since I don’t swing that way at all.
I’m sure Stad would tune in. Heh.
Great interview Jon. Loved getting a different viewpoint on Bolsonaro and Lula than one gets from my usual foreign outfits (BBC, France 24). It’s just so obvious how prejudiced they are against him.
Whenever some American reporter says a leader is “the Trump of Brazil,” “the Trump of Hungary,” etc., I know they’re far too lazy to actually report the facts.
When she mentioned Scalia and then Sowell, I thought, the Ricochetti are gonna love this...
