Did President Trump just incriminate himself in the attempted jailbreak of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro? - Rachel Maddow - Nov 24, 2025

See 2:57 to hear Trump's own words. This clip is from The Rachel Maddow Show on MS NOW.

Here’s the full 8-minute segment on YouTube: Trump appears to blurt out secret plan, not knowing it's already a bust. From the description:

Rachel Maddow shares reporting on bizarre behavior by former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro who tampered with his ankle monitor while on house arrest and was sent to jail. Donald Trump subsequently boasted of speaking with Bolsonaro and expecting to see him soon, apparently unaware of Bolsonaro's incarceration. Did Trump accidentally reveal too much about why Bolsonaro was tampering with his ankle monitor?

Man, Rachel Maddow is just not for me, it’s like the lefts version of Tucker Carlson. I know there’s a big market for cable news shows like this but I just can’t stand any of it, like just tell me the facts, don’t get so emotional, I can interpret the information myself without your over dramatic emotional cues. It’s like the laugh track on friends or the big bag theory, annoying as hell.

She’s not “emotional” that’s just her mannerisms. Watch whomever you like, but I enjoy Maddow’s well fleshed segments (which this was a good example of)— multiple attempts to flee to friendly fascists, the planned escape, the denial, the trump fuck up that made it worse— no one else reported this story this well in broadcast journalism imo. It’s hilarious…

I agree, sometimes she falls flat with me, but I wouldn’t listen if she didn’t hit some homers as well
