Netanyahu and the fanatic terrorists perform the same function — they only exist in war and death, which is why Netanyahu sabotages every ceasefire he agrees to.

1. O É Da Coisa, a nightly political commentary program on Band News FM with host Reinaldo Azevedo and co-hosts Wally Benny and Arthur Covri, covers Brazilian and international political stories from the edition of April 9, 2026. 2. Reinaldo Azevedo is the program's central analytical voice; co-hosts Wally Benny and Arthur Covri participate in banter and reading of reports, with Reinaldo providing extended commentary. 3. The episode opens with ironic commentary about people claiming to know the contents of Vorcaro's deposition before it has been submitted, which Reinaldo uses to frame the theme of false certainty that runs through several stories. 4. Folha columnist Mônica Bergamo reported that bankers and executives have approached PT leaders and Fernando Haddad about replacing Lula as the 2026 presidential candidate, citing recent Lula statements expressing uncertainty about his candidacy. 5. Reinaldo lists Lula's candidacy history — 1989, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, arrested in 2018 but still a candidate, then 2022 — to argue that periodic statements of indecision are a recurring pattern, not a signal of genuine withdrawal. 6. He frames Haddad as an excellent candidate for São Paulo governor, capable of debating Tarcísio de Freitas on substance, but rules out a presidential substitution as historically, structurally, and organizationally impossible within the PT. 7. Reinaldo delivers a political maxim: 'There is never a political gossip that has no friendly fire' — arguing that the Haddad speculation likely reflects internal PT positioning about the São Paulo race rather than a real succession plan. 8. Senate president Davi Alcolumbre confirmed the Messias Sabatina for April 29th, with Senator Everton Rocha as rapporteur; Reinaldo predicts Messias will be approved 'without much effort.' 9. Alcolumbre also called a joint Congressional session for April 30th to analyze Lula's veto of the dosimetry project, which would reduce penalties for those convicted of the January 8, 2023 coup attempt. 10. Reinaldo explicitly rejects the claim that Jair Bolsonaro's 27-year sentence could be reduced to 2 years and 4 months under the dosimetry bill, walking through the math of remaining charges that the bill would not cover, including criminal organization. 11. He argues that any act of public power — including Congressional overrides of presidential vetoes — is subject to Supreme Court constitutional review, preemptively addressing arguments that the STF cannot review such a veto override. 12. On the FGTS release, Reinaldo defends the R$7 billion measure targeting approximately 10 million workers whose anniversary-withdrawal funds were blocked as loan collateral, citing 81 million inadimplentes and Serasa data on the failure of the original Desenrola to durably reduce defaults. 13. He condemns Brazilian interest rates as 'pornographic and unjustifiable' but distinguishes between structural debt drivers and individual consumer decisions, resisting both the narrative that debtors are victims and the narrative that all debt is irresponsible behavior. 14. Israel fired 160 missiles at Lebanon in a 10-minute window, killing 303 people and wounding 900, targeting what it said were 100 Hezbollah positions including densely populated areas of Beirut and other regions. 15. Reinaldo criticizes Netanyahu as a 'psychopath' who publicly stated he was not consulted about the ceasefire, and connects this to an open debate in the United States about Trump's mental stability under Amendment 25. 16. He argues that Netanyahu's political survival depends on war, making him structurally incapable of honoring ceasefire agreements — the same structural logic that, he says, applies to the Islamic fundamentalist groups Netanyahu claims to fight. 17. Reinaldo explains Trump's role as a vanity-driven enabler: Netanyahu manipulates Trump's desire to be seen as a dealmaker, which gives Netanyahu operational freedom to continue military operations while maintaining diplomatic cover. 18. The Federal Police's Operação Vem Diesel targeted 55 gas distributors and resellers across 24 cities in 15 states, investigating price-fixing and cartel behavior in the cooking gas (butijão) market. 19. Body camera footage from a São Paulo military police operation contradicted the official report in a case where officer Yasmin Cursino Ferreira shot and killed Tauana da Silva Salmazio during a pre-dawn approach on the east side of the city. 20. Listeners who enjoy opinionated, witty Brazilian political commentary delivered in a fast conversational style with classical and literary references would find this episode characteristic of the program's format.
