It needs to be welded. You could do some creative fabrication but just take it apart and get it welded.

Yeah I would weld that, but I have a welder. If I didn't, I would still try and get that welded, nothing else will last.

This x 100. It broke, and it broke there for a reason. JB Weld isn't going to cut it.

In fact given that it cracked around a factory weld/location/mounting point, it probably needs some reinforcement as well.

That is definitely a joint that's under flexing stress; anything other than a brazing or welding repair will not last. If you can free up that part so its available, a weld repair on that is maybe a 10-15 minute job (especially if you don't mind it not looking perfect!).

Video is not much more helpful than the picture. It needs more context. I can't tell where the forces are coming from or how you could get at the failure to repair it. Likely adhesive won't work. You probably need to find some way to buttress the joint.
