00:00:00Of the 23 bodies found, 17
00:00:04are being investigated as homicides. For the police, the
00:00:08response to the crime is already being given. The
00:00:12response is that crime doesn't pay, that they're going to jail, and
00:00:16a true drug trafficking spy center was discovered by
00:00:19the police in the north zone of São Paulo. The criminals used security cameras to
00:00:23monitor the streets and track police
00:00:26movements. During the operation, two men were arrested, the agents also
00:00:30seized drugs, a fake rifle, and even hidden
00:00:34money.
00:00:36Inside the house, used by the gang, the materials were
00:00:40hidden in unusual places. During the
00:00:43searches, the police found a large quantity
00:00:47of drugs under the mattress, inside this
00:00:50bag were almost a thousand portions of drugs,
00:00:54ready to be sold, including
00:00:56crack, marijuana and cocaine. In the kitchen,
00:01:00inside an electric fryer, to their
00:01:03surprise, the agents found part of the
00:01:06drug trafficking
00:01:07money.
00:01:11The police also located several
00:01:15radio communicators and almost 20 cell phones,
00:01:19the suspicion is that the group had a communication
00:01:22network so that the traffickers would be
00:01:25alerted if the police approached the
00:01:28property. During the searches, a replica rifle
00:01:32was also seized. The police officer compared the weapon with a
00:01:36real rifle. The similarity between the two
00:01:40is impressive. This rifle here, for us and for the
00:01:44layman who is a common citizen, especially at
00:01:47night, if we place it here next to
00:01:51our rifle that we work with, it is very
00:01:55similar, right? So, we can note here even the
00:01:58magazine here, which
00:02:03there is no record of you can see here, so at night it ends up being very
00:02:07similar for the population and law-abiding people end up
00:02:10really being frightened. This police action took place
00:02:14here in the north zone of São Paulo, within a community known as
00:02:18Boi Malhado. According to the military police, the agents
00:02:21had received several complaints in recent days
00:02:25from residents, reporting the
00:02:27responding to a frequent holding of funk parties and also
00:02:30drug trafficking in several parts of the region and
00:02:33armed traffickers, the police were patrolling,
00:02:36when two men were seen in a suspicious
00:02:40neighbor moved to the attitude, as soon as they noticed the police presence, they ran
00:02:43into a house, where they tried to hide, the
00:02:47agents followed the pair and carried out an approach, during
00:02:51the searches they found with them a large quantity of
00:02:55money and narcotics. Several
00:02:57security cameras were also found. The equipment was
00:03:01installed in several streets in the community, the
00:03:05gang had access to all the movement in the
00:03:08area and watched for approaching police cars, as
00:03:12there are several small cameras here and
00:03:15everything they put in strategic points in the community
00:03:19to really monitor the presence of police cars in the area,
00:03:22credit cards, gold jewelry, watches,
00:03:26computers, notes for trafficking.
00:03:30and other electronic equipment, everything was
00:03:32taken to this police station and will undergo
00:03:36forensic examination. During the police action, two members of the
00:03:39group were arrested, another two, one man and one
00:03:43woman, were also in the house, and were
00:03:46taken in, but were released after giving
00:03:50their statement. Let's talk about the case of
00:03:54Rosângela, a pensioner who disappeared and was found dead. Investigators
00:03:57are getting closer to unraveling what is behind this
00:04:01crime? The agents found the body of a
00:04:05woman on Adrianópolis Road in the Santa
00:04:08Rita neighborhood in Nova Iguaçu, in the Baixada Fluminense on
00:04:12the 6th. She was in a remote,
00:04:15isolated place and without documents. Therefore,
00:04:19she spent several days at the IML of Nova Iguaçu to be
00:04:22identified. The advanced state of decomposition
00:04:26also hindered the work of the agents. It was...
00:04:31fear, Forensic odontology that confirmed that it was Rosângela's
00:04:33body. During the autopsy, experts
00:04:37found a cranial depression in the lateral
00:04:40region, caused by blunt force, in other
00:04:44words, Rosângela was violently assaulted in the
00:04:47head. The full report should be released in the
00:04:51coming days. The civil police are looking for images from security
00:04:55cameras in the Irajá neighborhood where Rosângela
00:04:58lived, and of the entire route to Nova Iguaçu in the Baixada
00:05:02Fluminense, where her body was found. The
00:05:05objective is to try to identify those involved
00:05:09in the pensioner's death. In addition, the banking
00:05:12and telephone records of Rosângela have
00:05:15already been broken, as well as those of people close to
00:05:19her. For the family, Rosângela had been
00:05:22missing since Friday, the
00:05:2416th, when she stopped replying to messages on her
00:05:28cell phone. Rodney, the pensioner's younger brother,
00:05:32was the last to be personally with her on
00:05:35October 4th, but told our team
00:05:38that soon after that encounter he began to find his sister's
00:05:42replies in the messaging
00:05:45app strange. From the 6th onwards, the message was no longer the same that she spoke to
00:05:49me every day, every day I spoke to her, every day I spoke to her, that is, from the 5th
00:05:52onwards, whenever you called her on the phone, you thought your sister was strange, she was
00:05:56strange, she didn't answer and then she started sending some images
00:06:00that she never sent, even the "good morning"
00:06:04greetings were different. Last week, the family
00:06:07discovered that her house in Irajá, in the North Zone,
00:06:10and the car were already
00:06:12with another supposed owner, João Vítor Alves da
00:06:16Silva, owner of a car wash in the Pedro community, in Colégio, North
00:06:19Zone of Rio. At the
00:06:23moment he arrived at the property, João was
00:06:25approached by the pensioner's relatives and replied
00:06:29that he had bought Rosângela's belongings and even
00:06:33said since when he had the disappeared woman's
00:06:37car. And how long have you had her car?
00:06:40Since the first
00:06:42round elections, right? And you're
00:06:46living in the house? Yes, I am. I'm not
00:06:50living in the house yet, I'm just getting the house ready. Soon after,
00:06:54the man was taken to the police station to give
00:06:57a statement. His cell phone and Rosângela's car were
00:07:01seized. The next day, he was heard again,
00:07:05this time his girlfriend also gave
00:07:08a statement. The two left the police station last
00:07:12Thursday, only around 9:30 at night.
00:07:16Investigators also took the statements of
00:07:20other relatives of Rosângela. A
00:07:23second man also came forward at the police station, Artur da
00:07:27Conceição Ferreira. He was pointed out by the family as
00:07:31the person who made a Pix transfer of R$
00:07:34200 to Rosângela's nephew's account on October 9th,
00:07:40request made by message to her. The
00:07:43situation caused strangeness among
00:07:46family members. Artur gave his statement and was
00:07:49released. The pensioner's motorcycle and her
00:07:53dog, Kiara, are also
00:07:57missing. The family cannot understand what
00:08:01happened and awaits the progress of the
00:08:03investigations to find out who killed the
00:08:07pensioner and why.
00:08:10A police operation carried out search and seizure warrants against a group that
00:08:14ran a sexual exploitation scheme involving teenagers. Reporter Lúcio
00:08:18Castro has more information.
00:08:21Hello, the Nexon operation of the Civil Police combats a
00:08:25criminal network for the production of pornographic videos with
00:08:28teenagers. Teams are on the streets to fulfill
00:08:3210 arrest warrants and 18 search and
00:08:36seizure warrants. On the list of those arrested so far are a
00:08:39military police officer and a parliamentary advisor. The
00:08:43investigations began at the Alcântara police station in São
00:08:46Gonçalo, mainly after the
00:08:49arrest of Mateus Gonçalves, 36
00:08:52years old. According to the agents, he is pointed out as
00:08:56the head of the criminal scheme and also the perpetrator of the rape
00:09:00of a 16-year-old girl.
00:09:03At the time, two notebooks and two cell
00:09:07phones were seized from his apartment, which is in Caraí,
00:09:11a noble neighborhood in Niterói. From the analysis of the
00:09:14memory of the devices and security camera images,
00:09:18a large network for the generation of
00:09:21pornography videos with teenagers was uncovered, in a scheme
00:09:24of sexual slavery. There were
00:09:27also scenes of gang rape, where the victims were subjected
00:09:31to torture. The subordination of this
00:09:3416-year-old girl was maintained by
00:09:38the criminals with blackmail regarding the dissemination of the
00:09:41videos. Together with her parents, she sought out the civil
00:09:44police and the child protection council, where she made
00:09:47all the complaints. Currently, the teenager
00:09:50receives assistance from the program for the protection of children
00:09:54and adolescents threatened with death, as well as
00:09:58various judicial bodies. Lúcio Castro
00:10:01from São Gonçalo in Rio de Janeiro, for Record
00:10:04News.
00:10:06The court blocked more than R$ 370
00:10:10million from companies that operate in the illegal gold trade in São Paulo. A
00:10:14task force also inspected stores in the center and
00:10:17sealed establishments suspected of receiving stolen goods
00:10:21to melt and resell.
00:10:25The image shows a man sealing an iron door
00:10:29with an electric welder.
00:10:32On the other side of the door was a clandestine factory.
00:10:36used to weigh,
00:10:39melt and remold stolen gold. The
00:10:43action is part of the third phase of Operation Reverse
00:10:46Gold, which combats the illegal trade of
00:10:50the precious metal. Thirty-one search and
00:10:54seizure warrants were executed in homes and gold trading
00:10:58stores. Several pieces were
00:11:01seized, all without fiscal proof of
00:11:04origin. Any merchandise from a store without an entry invoice is illegal.
00:11:08That's what we're going to seize, evaluate, and leave in custody. The police
00:11:11action focused mainly here in the
00:11:14so-called "ring of fire" in the central region of São
00:11:17Paulo, which concentrates stores and workshops
00:11:20specialized in the melting of jewelry.
00:11:24According to the investigation, stolen
00:11:27alliances, chains, and rings ended up
00:11:30here to be melted and
00:11:32resold, because some of these places
00:11:36they say they provide
00:11:39services, such as jewelry repair, but in
00:11:43reality what they do is
00:11:45receive material,
00:11:49product of crime, with
00:11:52concealment, hiding
00:11:56repair and it's not, many times they are
00:11:59broken due to criminal action. The new
00:12:03stage of the operation targeted the financial core of the
00:12:06group, which is suspected of money laundering. The police
00:12:10managed to block more than R$ 374
00:12:13million in assets of the
00:12:17investigated. A man who was already wanted by
00:12:20justice for criminal organization was arrested
00:12:23in this phase. The investigations of Operation Reverse
00:12:27Gold began in 2024, after the
00:12:30influencer Buzeira gave player Neymar a
00:12:33gold necklace valued at R$2 million. The
00:12:37gift drew the attention of the police, since Buzeira
00:12:41had recently been arrested for involvement with criminal
00:12:44organization. From this episode, the police discovered
00:12:48a criminal structure behind the jewelry trade.
00:12:51In a note, the Union of the Jewelry
00:12:55Trade of São Paulo informed that the clandestine
00:12:58commercialization of precious metals feeds a
00:13:01direct criminal chain that harms the
00:13:04formal merchant, in addition to causing irreparable financial
00:13:08losses to the honest entrepreneur. The
00:13:12solution is, in fact, to physically interdict these
00:13:15locations. Today we are going to physically interdict
00:13:19them with bricks, with cement so that these
00:13:22individuals no longer buy stolen or robbed
00:13:26objects, and participate in this criminal ecosystem
00:13:29that harms so many
00:13:30people.
00:13:34Look at the next news. Several
00:13:37people died in a tragic accident between two trains
00:13:41in Spain. Our correspondent Ana Paula Gomes has more
00:13:44information.
00:13:46Hello, the accident happened in the central region of the country, in
00:13:50Toledo, about 60 km from the capital
00:13:53Madrid. Two high-speed trains collided and two
00:13:57wagons derailed. Authorities believe the number of victims will
00:14:01be even higher. More than 500 people
00:14:04were on these two trains,
00:14:06147 passengers on one and
00:14:09397 people on the other. Emergency
00:14:13teams are on site providing assistance to
00:14:17the victims. Train circulation between Madrid and
00:14:21Andalusia has been suspended. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro
00:14:25Sanchez said he was shocked by the accident and leaders here from
00:14:28Europe, such as French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian
00:14:32Prime Minister Georgia Meloni and the Prime Minister
00:14:35here of Portugal, Luís Montenegro, expressed
00:14:38solidarity with Spain and the victims. From Lisbon,
00:14:42Ana Paula Gomes, for Record News.
00:14:46A tornado killed four workers in Turkey. According to authorities,
00:14:49the storm hit a construction site. The wind destroyed two
00:14:53containers where the workers were staying.
00:14:56Residents reported that many objects were
00:14:59launched into the air. The passage of the tornado lasted only
00:15:03about 5 minutes, according to witnesses. Emergency teams
00:15:07were sent to the site to assist the
00:15:10injured.
00:15:12And in India, a cyclone caused giant waves and
00:15:16floods. The sea water invaded a road and
00:15:19overturned vehicles. In
00:15:22other coastal areas, the water reached streets and houses. Residents
00:15:26of threatened regions began to move to safer
00:15:28locations. Indian authorities also evacuated thousands of
00:15:32people from high-risk areas. The forecast is that the
00:15:35cyclone will continue through the country
00:15:39today.
00:15:41The election that will define the next prime minister of Israel ended
00:15:45yesterday, and the counting is expected to take a few days. Exit
00:15:49polls show an undefined
00:15:51scenario. To govern,
00:15:5561 of the 120 seats in the Knesset, the Israeli
00:15:59Parliament, are needed. According to
00:16:02exit polls, the opposition bloc led by the
00:16:06former general.
00:16:10The Likud coalition, Prime Minister Benjamin
00:16:13Netanyahu's party, has 50, the Arab
00:16:16parties got 17. Thus, neither
00:16:20the opposition nor the ruling party would have an absolute
00:16:23majority. The impasse can be resolved with
00:16:26negotiations to form a coalition government that unites the
00:16:30most voted parties, or with a new
00:16:32election. Between 2019 and
00:16:352022, the country faced a political crisis that led to
00:16:39five electoral rounds. These are the
00:16:42first elections in the country since the attacks of October 7,
00:16:452023. Since the opening of the gates, the polling
00:16:48stations have been busy. According to
00:16:51authorities, voter turnout was the highest in recent
00:16:54decades. About 70,000 Israelis from
00:16:58abroad returned to the country to vote. Among them
00:17:01Nova, who moved to Brazil a year ago. I have felt a
00:17:05very strong mobilization... I think a lot of people are coming
00:17:09to vote, the airports are full, people here also want
00:17:12a change, a hope for
00:17:15a better future after these three years that were very
00:17:19difficult here.
00:17:21We'll talk again about Senator Flávio Bolsonaro in the
00:17:25United States, because the American government said it will allow Flávio's
00:17:29entry into the country. Our correspondent Juliana Rius has more
00:17:32information.
00:17:35Hello to everyone who follows us here on Record News. The American
00:17:38State Department confirmed that it will issue
00:17:41visas for Flávio, his wife and two
00:17:44daughters. The documents will allow the family to
00:17:47legally remain here in the United States. The American
00:17:51press reported that Trump approved the senator's
00:17:54entry after his defeat in the elections. According to a
00:17:58source close to the United States government, American
00:18:01Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be assisting in this
00:18:04trip. Rubio, however, did not.
00:18:31seconds later he lifted the motorcycle as if he were
00:18:34helping and then left. That's
00:18:37when the victim noticed R$ 150 missing from his wallet and
00:18:41called the municipal guard who arrested the thief. He will be charged with
00:18:45theft. The money was returned to the
00:18:48elderly man.
00:18:51And a suspect of sexually harassing women in the streets of Guarulhos
00:18:55in São Paulo was arrested by the municipal civil guard. He was
00:18:59identified with the help of security cameras and confessed to the
00:19:02attacks, but after giving a statement, he was
00:19:05released. Understand the reason now.
00:19:08The man suspected of harassing women in the streets of Guarulhos in
00:19:12Greater São Paulo was arrested by the municipal
00:19:15civil guard. Jobson Bruno Alves de Souza,
00:19:1937 years old, is the motorcyclist who appears in
00:19:22these images approaching women
00:19:25and touching their bodies aggressively.
00:19:28He was located at the house where
00:19:32he lives with his family. The agents seized the suspect's
00:19:35motorcycle and helmet.
00:19:45An adhesive with Japanese writing on the motorcycle, the same
00:19:48adhesive appears in the footage that
00:19:51recorded the approaches against the women. The
00:19:54similarity helped to link the motorcycle
00:19:58to the suspect. During the arrest, he denied
00:20:01everything, but at the police station he confessed to the
00:20:05crime. During the statement, the suspect
00:20:08also gave details about how he acted. He
00:20:12didn't want to talk because of shame for his family, along with his children, with his wife, who are not
00:20:16aware of the acts he committed when he supposedly went out
00:20:19to work, as he reports that he left at 5 AM and returned at
00:20:238 AM, and it was during this period that he committed these
00:20:27acts. In the images, the motorcyclist approaches
00:20:30a woman who is standing on the sidewalk in
00:20:34front of her own house. He touches her body.
00:20:37Startled, the victim moves away
00:20:40and then runs. Jobson still goes after her.
00:20:44About two hours later, he acts
00:20:47again. The motorcyclist passes another woman
00:20:51and turns around, following in her direction.
00:20:54The approach is not fully visible in the image, but
00:20:58the action happens in the same way. Jobson was
00:21:01released, walked out the front door. The civil
00:21:05police informed that there was no flagrant situation and
00:21:09that he will respond while
00:21:11at liberty.
00:21:14Very well, the police broke up a party that was disturbing the peace of the
00:21:18residents, but then the partygoers revolted and
00:21:21decided to attack the house of an elderly couple, well,
00:21:25you'll see how this case ended now in the
00:21:28report. It's early morning, almost
00:21:324 AM, what should be a night of
00:21:36rest, turns into a nightmare for the residents of
00:21:39QR615 in
00:21:41Samambaia.
00:21:46The residents called the police to break up a
00:21:50party fueled by alcoholic beverages and loud
00:21:52car sound systems. With the arrival of the police car, the neighbor
00:21:56turns off the sound. Some party guests scatter
00:21:59through the street. Tempers seem to be flaring. A
00:22:03man argues with the police and is hit by
00:22:06a jet of pepper spray. Notice,
00:22:09while the officers leave the scene, one of them
00:22:13kicks the police car. A woman in a brown dress also
00:22:17throws something at the police car. That's
00:22:21when the terror begins for an elderly
00:22:24couple. Believing that it was them who called the
00:22:27police, the party guests begin to attack
00:22:31the couple's house. Objects are thrown
00:22:34against the garage, three men start kicking the
00:22:37gate.
00:22:40The photos taken the next day show the extent of the
00:22:44damage. The gate was broken, the
00:22:47car had one of its taillights...
00:22:50Even a trash bag ended up on the roof of the
00:22:54residence. While the group of vandals kicked the
00:22:58gate and threw things at the house, inside,
00:23:01Mrs. Irene and Mr. Gilson watched everything in panic.
00:23:05Their fear was that they would invade the house. My fear
00:23:09was that they would invade my house and do something to me and my
00:23:12husband. I felt that if they had really
00:23:15invaded, since the gate went even further,
00:23:18they would certainly have broken the door and done something
00:23:22different to me and my husband. According to the family, the problem
00:23:25began about a year ago, when the denounced
00:23:30region. Since then, residents
00:23:33complain about the very loud music and say that
00:23:36tranquility has become rare. Peace and quiet
00:23:40ended here more than 3 years ago due to the arrival of
00:23:44new people to this street. By phone, our team
00:23:47also tried to contact the neighbor. The residents
00:23:50reported him as responsible for the parties
00:23:54with loud music, but he did not answer our
00:23:56call.
00:24:02Images of people dressed as clowns walking through the streets during
00:24:06the early morning hours are spreading on social media, and some people are saying
00:24:09that these people are actually criminals and that
00:24:13they are attacking people. Some residents are even choosing not to
00:24:17leave their homes out of fear.
00:24:20Mask, colorful clothes, wig. The
00:24:24costume is of a clown, but far
00:24:26from the circus rings, they appear on the street during
00:24:30the early morning and scare the
00:24:33residents.
00:24:36Here there are no circus acts, much less
00:24:39humor. Some appear with knives in their
00:24:42hands, walk together, stare at a
00:24:45camera and seem to intimidate anyone who crosses
00:24:49their path.
00:24:51We don't know if they're going to attack or not, it's
00:24:53dangerous. Behind the masks and
00:24:57makeup, a mystery. Who are these
00:25:00clowns? What are they doing on the streets in the
00:25:03early morning? In the images, they never
00:25:06appear alone. They walk in groups of three,
00:25:10four, even more. You run
00:25:13away, don't you, daughter? They say they approached cars that
00:25:17passed by, not even people.
00:25:21The videos of the so-called terror clowns are
00:25:24spread through social networks and it didn't take
00:25:27long for someone to guarantee that everything
00:25:30was true. What is common among
00:25:34so many messages is fear. There are people who
00:25:38say they can't sleep anymore, others have already
00:25:41changed their routine because
00:25:44of the alleged clowns. The
00:25:47alerts say that these...
00:25:50Clowns are circulating through Suzano,
00:25:53Guaianazes, Cidade Tiradentes and
00:25:56Poá. There was even a comment that a
00:25:59clown tried to grab a child, but...
00:26:02None of this was confirmed, we are here in
00:26:05Vila Medeiros, north zone of São Paulo,
00:26:09and it was precisely here that
00:26:12a resident said that that video, right, that
00:26:15the alleged clowns, at least dressed
00:26:19as clowns, that they appeared during the
00:26:23early morning, but with knives in their hands and
00:26:26walking in a synchronized way, it's even possible to see it through the video.
00:26:30Thiago shows me, my cinematographer, it was here
00:26:33passing by, there's even this building, right, they
00:26:36pass through this street here,
00:26:40the person who made the video, who recorded the video, ended
00:26:44up posting it in the message group and then what happened,
00:26:47it echoed
00:26:50and caused a commotion here
00:26:54in the neighborhood. I received the video. At first, we were like
00:26:57this, we were scared, right? Everyone started
00:27:00sharing it and people got scared too, so it became something
00:27:04that haunted us here on the avenue, right? So much so that
00:27:08I even closed my establishment earlier because
00:27:11we were a little worried, right, seeing the clowns there. The
00:27:15curious thing is that despite so many people commenting about the
00:27:19clowns and finding someone who has seen all this in person
00:27:23is not that simple. The majority know the story
00:27:26from videos or from what they heard
00:27:29and each one has a version of...
00:27:33I just didn't want to meet them in the early morning, right, but they said it was a Halloween
00:27:37recording, right? There are those who believe that it was all just
00:27:40a joke to get views on the internet,
00:27:44but there are also those who prefer not
00:27:47to risk it. It's a bit dangerous, because at night I come to train
00:27:50and I'm going down a bit worried, right? It's not just in São
00:27:54Paulo, similar publications also started
00:27:57circulating with references to Rio de Janeiro, Bahia and
00:28:01Maranhão. The Public Security Secretariat of São Paulo said that
00:28:05occurrences involving kidnapper
00:28:08clowns in Guarulhos. In Bahia and Rio
00:28:12de Janeiro, the civil police also informed that they
00:28:14did not locate any records with such
00:28:18information. After all, are they
00:28:22criminals, people dressed up for a
00:28:25recording or is it all just a bad taste
00:28:28joke? There's even the possibility that some images may have
00:28:32been produced with artificial
00:28:35intelligence, I think some joker
00:28:38wanted to go viral on the internet, because nowadays you post
00:28:41something, the power to go viral is very great and he ended
00:28:45up doing this wanting to scare the population, but
00:28:49I don't think there's anything like that, whatever
00:28:52the explanation, this story already harms
00:28:55those who have absolutely nothing to do with it, even the
00:28:59artists who work as clowns are...
00:29:02worried about the repercussions of the videos, the clown
00:29:06nose is already on his face
00:29:09in a little while Daril will
00:29:13transform into the clown Fonso, he
00:29:17who already works in the area and performs clown acts for
00:29:2017 years, for now I'm going to take this clown nose, we
00:29:24he's going to do his makeup and just
00:29:27like thousands of people on social media, he
00:29:30watched the videos. and he became apprehensive, he became
00:29:34worried, because until then, a clown
00:29:38is synonymous with joy, brings joy and then he is afraid of
00:29:41being confused on the streets as a
00:29:44clown who brings terror, right, the
00:29:47clowns of terror, eh, just like
00:29:51you, other clowns were worried, how do you
00:29:54see this, huh? It's
00:29:57something, a situation that worries, right, not only
00:30:01us, but people. People who like the art of
00:30:04clowning, when it's time to work, Fonso
00:30:07enters the scene, with makeup,
00:30:10colorful clothes, red nose, lots of
00:30:14fun, he participates in parties and shows and
00:30:18lives to make people
00:30:20smile, but now he fears that the image
00:30:24of these scary characters
00:30:26will drive away the audience, it's not something we want for our
00:30:30image, something scary, because it can increase
00:30:34coulrophobia, which is fear of clowns, it already
00:30:37happens, I do presentations and I see people who are afraid of clowns,
00:30:41so these images, I think, can increase the number of people who are afraid of
00:30:45clowns, my goal as an artist is to make people laugh, right, I don't
00:30:48intend to cause fear, so eh, I want people
00:30:52to be happy with the image of the clown, I don't want people to be
