Tucker Carlson explains why Bolsonaro is no Justin Trudeau after a wide-ranging interview with the president of Brazil

Here in the United States, we've been so deeply engrossed in our own debates over whether men should be allowed to compete on girls swim teams or whether it's immoral to carry our groceries in plastic bags that we've missed the fact that the government of China has been busy with its own agenda—taking over the world.

In the space of just 15 years, for example, the Chinese have succeeded in re-colonizing the entire continent of Africa. Didn't think that could happen? Well, it is happening. In Africa, China now calls the shots and takes the natural resources for itself. Period. As of tonight, there is only one remaining African country that dares to recognize Taiwan, and it happens to be among the smallest countries in Africa, Swaziland. Everyone else on the continent obeys Beijing.

However, wait a second. How can this be happening? Isn't colonialism racist and bad? Yes, it is and no one's worse and more racist than the Chinese. Go on Chinese social media sometime and see how they describe the Africans they've subjugated. It's horrifying. So, why isn't the New York Times writing stories about any of this? You know why – because the New York Times is on China's side. That's why they all but ignore the brutal Chinese colonization of Latin America, which is also in full swing right now.

Colonialism violates everything the New York Times once claimed to believe in, but that's okay, because they never really believed any of it anyway. It was always about power.

We came to Brazil this week to see for ourselves what the Chinese are doing to Latin America. We're making a documentary about it for our "Tucker Carlson Originals" series. Brazil has the last pro-American government in Latin America. It's our single most important ally in the Western Hemisphere.

Allowing Brazil to become a colony of China would be a significant blow to us and potentially a very serious military threat. The Biden administration appears to be in favor of it. One person who is emphatically not in favor of it is the president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro. So, of course, the American media hate him.
