On Thursday’s episode of the Heat, Gilson Schwartz, an Economics professor at the University of São Paulo discussed Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s first year in office and the use of hate speech and propaganda in his administration.

A couple of hours later, Brazil’s Secretary of Culture released a video about the future of Brazilian art. In the video, he uses the same rhetoric as Joseph Goebbels, a German Nazi politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda.

Goebbels said this in a 1933 speech to a group of theatre managers and directors:

"German art of the next decade will be heroic; it will be like steel; it will be romantic, non-sentimental, factual; it will be national with great pathos and at once obligatory and binding, or it will be nothing,"

The music used in the video is string music by the German composer Richard Wagner.
Wagner is a known anti-Semitic and favorite composer of Adolf Hitler.

At first, Alvim tried to defend his actions in an explanation he posted to his Facebook page.

He later wrote a post apologizing to the Jewish community, saying he wouldn’t have used that language had he known its origins.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro announced on Friday that Alvim was fired.
