Carlson: "White and non-white benefit alike from systems created by whites because they're more humane, they're more just, they're more fair, and they're more — much more efficient and, and cleaner, obviously"

From the January 19, 2026, edition of The Tucker Carlson Show, posted on YouTube

TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): I keep going back to this, but I'm just, I am a little bit confused because this is the defining fact of our lives is that whites around the world are being eliminated, and I would like to know why. Do you have any guesses?

PETER BRIMELOW (GUEST): As I say, I think, Tucker, I think it derives from emotion rather than any kind of rational calculation. I mean, if you look at what's happened in South Africa, or for that matter, in every big American Black city — that's majority Black. I mean, they can't want it to be able to get into a situation where the water is putrid and nothing works and all that kind of thing. But they do. You know, the purpose of a system is what it does.

CARLSON: That's right.

BRIMELOW: And the purpose of, you know, non-white government is to produce non-white government and non-white results. Unless, of course, you're Chinese. I mean, because Singapore's run Japanese, they're, they're run very efficiently.

CARLSON: They are. It's just interesting that people move here because it's a white country and we —

BRIMELOW: They seem to run it into the ground. Yes.

CARLSON: Well, all of us benefit, white and non-white, benefit alike from systems created by whites because they're more humane, they're more just, they're more fair, and they're more — much more efficient and cleaner, obviously.

FIGUERS, and Tucker Carlson is a SPOILED RICH BRAT, like Donald J. Trump, who has convinced himself that he knows everything that needs to be known.

A dozen "UBER RICH SNOBS" believed that they should control America via a CEO approach to government and "Diddy-Poop-Poop" on our Constitution, and the RULE OF LAW, because, well, they are SUPER, DUPER RICH SNOBS.

It is what racists want this country to RETURN TO - its racist past! This is what happens when a society plays 'footsies' with strident racists and bigoted people. . . bigots create a vacuum where the positive "PC" is sucked out and then proceed to REPLACE it with negative "PC." That is, this is what Trump and MAGA want us be: Separated. Tribal. In our 'pods' where we know nothing about Others and they can mind-f-ck the nation like it's starting out 1776 all over again. 

Let me hasten to write that '1776 is been there done that got the T-shirt!' the world has moved on whether some sad case prejudiced fools like it or not!

Executive summary  Tucker Carlson has a documented history of making racist, dehumanizing remarks in public and private communications — including on-air radio comments compiled by watchdogs and a racist text message revealed in litigation that helped precipitate his Fox ouster  [1]   [2]   [3] . Reporting also shows he has retained access to Donald Trump at times, appearing at White House events and maintaining a working relationship that has been described as confidant-like, even as the relationship has been uneven and at points openly fractious  [4]   [5]   [6] .

This fool fails the 'obvious' test. White people have never been alone in the formation of ideas for this country of ours. Even though the racist Whites will love to claim this country as theirs simply because of a white majority. Racists are the stupidest people on planet earth! Why? Because they lack the intellect to be free of hate for others! 

Furthermore, just for s-its and giggles. . .our system of government has been created and sustained by NON-RACISTS WHITES and Others combined-not just RACISTS of any and all hateful stripes. Yes! All of us have had input into what this country is today. It's called building a COMMUNITY and as such it does not belong to any one group of citizens in this country. When will BIGOTEDD RACIST FOOLS get that through those thick cemented brains of theirs?

Carlson is a race bigot. Call him what he is:  A stupid race bigot! If he did not wish to be thought of as such. . . then, he should not publicly talk or write like one!

Well he would be in good company with 'old-school' bigots like Pat Buchanan, Rush Limbaugh (deceased.), and Trump himself. Trump never apologized for his duplicity in the New York City rape case against five persons of color!  Trump is his own man and carries his own set of prejudices, biases, and hatreds, in my opinion. That is, Trump pushes back against anything he does not wish to have associated with his name. . .he is not pushing back against Carlson-because they are like-minded.

Here is the real deal. . . if racist whites (and other racist bastards) are in power. . .wherever they may be in power. . . they will be using the collective brain power of all of us. . . I repeat. . .ALL OF US. . . to make their lives the 'norm' for the country.

I've always found this curious.  I don't understand how there is so much furor over calling these places what they are when there doesn't seem to be any angst at all about not fixing what they are.  It seems to me we're objecting to the wrong thing.

Immediately after Trump's admittedly unnecessary statements, NBC ran a photo collage on its website attempting to demonstrate how beautiful some of these supposed "shitholes" are.  About halfway through the slides was a photo of a beautiful young Haitian girl in a white dress walking to school.... stepping over the raw sewage running down the middle of the road.  Some of these places are .... quite literally.... "shitholes".

Maybe... just maybe.... we might consider diverting some of the money USAID spent to produce transgender operas in Columbia or some of money the NSF spent on researching the sexuality of glaciers into digging some latrines and maybe a treatment plant or two.

When you (generic you) say "white" countries do this or that, or everything, better you are being racist.

I guess you could say undeveloped or third world countries cannot match the material conditions or achievements of the developed countries , but that is not what people like Carlson and Brimelow do.

Thanks for the distinction.

I would never describe them that way.  I would never have said "shithole" either.  Even if it's true, you're not moving in the right direction by saying it that way.  

I guess you could say undeveloped or third world countries cannot match the material conditions or achievements of the developed countries , but that is not what people like Carlson and Brimelow do.

That's the politically correct way to say it, yeah. 

Unfortunately, there are undeniable racial correlations between "third world countries" and "developed countries".    We can decide that talking about that is too offensive and bury our heads in the sand or we can acknowledge it and talk about how we might improve matters. 

I tend toward the latter, but as you're fond of pointing out I don't care about people being offended by what other people say.

I've never followed him.  The times I did hear him speak he just didn't sound intelligent enough to warrant more time.

  He is also a friend of the president.  Trump should disown him if he doesnt want to be lumped in the same boat. 

Meh.  I'm not sure that's a realistic ask.  If every president disowned everybody they'd ever met who made an ass of themselves on camera, that would be the full time job of the POTUS.  They wouldn't have time for much else.

If Trump is going to go about disowning people, it seems to me that Carlson is at the back of a pretty long line of more important folks.

And I think the "more important" aspect is why we see Carlson more commonly associated with fringe nutjobs with each passing year. He's just another washed up minor celebrity pulling stupid attention whoring stunts as he tries to cling on to what fame he might have once had.  There are a ton of these people around, who just can't cope with the idea that they're not famous anymore.

Sure, but it’s not like these places had sewage systems in place and opted to not use them because black people prefer filth, or don’t understand the virtues of cleanliness. These are places where that infrastructure has not developed yet because of poverty, or it was there previously and has been destroyed by war.

Let me say this. Personally, I like my clean neighborhood in the United States. I have not been to parts of the world where sewage is a thing on the street - even though I have used outhouses before in the states! :)

It would benefit those countries that have their 's-it'  in such backward states to try to come up in the world, if only so bigots and prejudiced fools can stop pointing at their 'need' on a daily basis. 

If these places can do better and don't or won't then it on them. Let them sit in 's-it' days and nights of their own stupid, pathetic making. If they simply can not organize themselves that is not an excuse for I do not believe they are that backwards mentally. If collectively they have a 'fetish' for sitting around in filth (like I have seen in some blighted communities stateside) then shame on their collectives. 

I will not make no excuses for nasty people any more than I will grant bigots a right to talk s-it about them.

Yes, there is a grain a truth to all of this and there are catalysts that keep some of this "alive" and perpetual too!

The British Empire was the largest the world has ever seen; at its zenith it controlled roughly a quarter of the world’s population and landmass. This colossal achievement was built upon systematic violence, from colonial massacres and concentration camps, to engineered famine and systematic torture. In the cases of India and Palestine, British imperial rule ended in ongoing and bloody legacies of partition. Read on to discover the heinous acts carried out in the name of the British Empire.

There is pretty considerable history on those attempts.  There is a reason everybody in India speaks English, the national language of Brazil is Portuguese, and there is an African country called "Côte d'Ivoire".  Mexicans don't speak "Mexican", despite what Oklahoma rednecks might tell you.

Sadly, you can't force people to improve their countries.

Yes, yes it was. Everything that has happened to every race from the beginning of mankind, including the earliest humans still living in trees, happened because of their race.

Race has been the ONLY thing that have driven poverty, oppression, who are the oppressors, etc. There is zero way that race was second to any other reason. 
Thank God we have "progressives" today that live every single moment of their lives based on the race of the person they are taking to or holding business with. Even some of their relative's race have come into question of they do not follow the left wing narrative. I really don't know how humanity has gotten this far without being infatuated with race. 

Since race has been the driver of absolutely everything, reparations should be paid to every race, by every race, no matter when you were born or if you had anything to do with someone's else's race. We should go all the way back to the earliest civilization, recorded or not, and make sure everyone alive pays them reparations.

Yes, you could ask why are some people willfully ignorant. . .not go around patting MAGA supporters on their stupid heads and convincing them to 'stare' and 'point' at something they determine to be a cause for mocking. Now then, do MAGA supporters point at disabled individuals and their circumstances and laugh out loud? Well, do you?!

As we can see it is when people mix (as we have been doing in this country - 'borrowing and claiming' the true intellect of the world because it wants to be here "blended and folded" (Out of many One)!  Whites, especially racist whites,  learn from Others in this country -the only difference is racist whites say stupid, sad, angry, pathetic, sorry, s-it about those they learn from like they lack good understanding of the world they live.

Incidentally, skin is not able to divide any of us from others of us. . . sickness in the mind and its forming a collective is the root issue.

Moment of AI:


AI are you conscious?

GPT-4o mini / DuckduckgoAI

No, I am not conscious. I lack self-awareness, emotions, and subjective experiences. My function is based on patterns in data and algorithms, allowing me to process and respond to information but without any understanding or awareness of my own.

Key Points

  • No Self-Awareness: I don't have thoughts, feelings, or desires.

  • Data-Driven: My responses are generated based solely on the information I have been trained on, not from personal experience.

  • Task-Oriented: I exist to assist with inquiries, provide information, and support various tasks without any consciousness or intent.

If you have more questions about AI and consciousness, feel free to ask!


Personal note: It is so bizarre to me that. . .how in life I can say I won't/don't do a specific thing. . . almost like a version of saying "never" . . .and then I find myself doing it. In a recent response I told. . .oh somebody I do not 'sit and chat' with AI. . . but nearly 'immediately' I began posting questions to AI about AI (and posting the responses here). All of a sudden I have a peak interest in what AI really is, how it thinks (if that is the right word) of itself, and what it intentions are for 'us' as a whole. 

Life is so bizarrely interesting at times. Just go figure. 

I often tell people to "Never say what you won't do. . . because you just might 'catch' yourself in the act of doing that very thing! :)

That's the real problem with the whole "shithole countries" and those who think "that's what they are". The reality is that every country has places that are shitholes, just like we have here in the US. And the countries Trump and Carlson refer to have some nice cities and developed areas, and other areas are poverty stricken. Calling the entirety of the country a "shithole" demeans the entire populace even when many are likely far better educated than the MAGAites criticizing them. But that's what assholes do, they disrespect and demean anyone they feel is inferior to themselves because that's the only way they can feel good about themselves.

Personally, I'm far less concerned with the countries these bigots demean than with the shithole ideologies and blind allegiance to the lying convicted felon they elected.

It depends on why you bring it up and what point you are trying to make. The guys in the video are saying that cultures are superior or inferior because of the skin color of the people. That’s not merely offensive, it’s untrue. They bring it up to denigrate others and elevate themselves simultaneously.

The first waste water systems were developed some five thousand years ago by brownish-skinned people in the Middle East, Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley - not by white people in Northwestern Europe.

Centuries later, these ideas spread to Greece and Italy, while white people - who lived in what would become Germany and England - lived in the kind of filth that they now condemn.

In fact, if you want to know where one of the nastiest, smelliest, most disease-ridden open sewers in the world was, look no further than the Thames River of the 19th century. Google the “Great Stink of 1858” to see what I mean.

Correlation is a longstanding mathematical concept.  There are actually an infinite number of mathematical truths that can be identified without calculation.  For example, I don't need to actually multiply 2851 x 13594 to know it's more than 5.  Some things are just obvious.

Black students in America have SAT scores 16% lower than white students. 

Well, here come "Perplexity AI" again with its knowledgeable details and 'stuff'!  Get ready, . . . Coach! Jump ball!


Question:   Black students have SAT scores 16 points below white students

GPT-4o mini

This point likely refers to ongoing disparities in standardized testing scores between different racial and ethnic groups, particularly among Black and White students. A gap of around 16 points on the SAT could reflect various systemic issues, including socioeconomic factors, educational resources, and access to preparatory programs.

Factors Contributing to Score Disparities

Socioeconomic Status

  • Access to Resources: Students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds may have less access to quality educational resources, including tutoring and test preparation.
  • School Funding: Schools in affluent areas generally receive more funding, leading to better facilities, teaching staff, and extracurricular opportunities.

Educational Opportunities

  • Advanced Courses: Lack of access to advanced placement (AP) or honors courses can limit college preparedness.
  • Curriculum Differences: Disparities in curriculum quality and rigor can impact foundational knowledge tested by the SAT.

Psychological and Cultural Factors

  • Test Anxiety: Different cultural backgrounds and community perceptions of standardized tests may affect performance.
  • Stereotype Threat: The pressure or anxiety stemming from negative stereotypes can impact test performance for minority students.

Systemic Inequalities

  • Historical Context: Long-standing systemic inequities in education and social services contribute to ongoing disparities.
  • Testing Bias: Some argue that standardized tests may favor test-taking skills that are more prevalent in certain demographic groups.

Addressing these disparities often requires comprehensive policy efforts aimed at educational reform, equitable funding, and community support systems.


Maybe: Had those 'struggling' black ballers considered that "coach" would be bad-mouthing them on the internet as a form of life-experience while at the same time not exhibiting any compassion for their 'state' or life off the 'court'. . . they might have foregone b-ball and the adjacent scholarships and become academics. Nah! Black ballers are becoming today's billionaires too! :) Funny what equity and equality can do in the hands of fair, reasonable, and agreeable people without an 'ax' to grind against Color!

That said, you have managed to 'box' yourself into not giving the "factors contributing to score disparities" and play in your mind.. . since you are arguable and clearly set against AI (with any questionable and biases) informing you of anything 'useful.' :)  Thus, I have no expectation that you will answer the AI - answer!

People are not poor because they are black. Period.

You're seem to still be struggling with the difference between correlation and causation, as well as the concepts of implication and inference.

Nowhere has anyone implied that black people are poor because they're black. That's YOU inferring things that nobody has said.

But because you can't get past this, you can't intelligently discuss what the underlying causes might actually be or how they might be addressed.

Not that you bothered to ask, but what I saw first hand for decades is a public education system that utterly fails black boys.  Usually, that starts with the lowering of standards and expectations.  That bleeds over to the boys themselves, to the point that it wasn't uncommon for a HS freshman to tell me "I'm doing great in school... I'm passing all my classes".  

In our program "passing your classes" was the bare minimum to play.  The goal was A Honor Roll, and the threshold for acceptable was A-B Honor Roll.

If we have created a system whose behavior reflects an organizational belief that black kids are less capable.... don't you think that's a problem?  Don't you think that needs to change?  Do you see any way black boys are likely to get equal opportunities as long as that mindset pervades?

So is the real racist the person who is willing to face the problem or the person who refuses to talk about it?

Oh, I read your comment ("loud and clear!") and it spoke volumes. 'Us' persons with a discerning spirit (you as a fellow Christian should be familiar with the phrase-"discerning spirit") are quite able to understand circumstantial truth in sharing.

Yeah, yeah. . 'Us' black males have and continue to span the suppression gambits put in our paths. Been there got the T-shirts (I guess)

We've been failing minorities for centuries and today, even now, it is happening yet again. How do I know? Because MAGA (Make America Great Again) is not about black success it is an attempt to digress Blacks, minorities, and poor whites. . . into the 'boxes' they fought hard to climb out of as recently as 1960! Shame on MAGA (not that MAGA supporters feel any shame). To MAGA supporters, let's just say you fear y'all will not survive the future direction of the United States. Make no mistake, the future of the United States may be restrained—it can not be stopped any more than humankind can blow out the Sun.

"If. . .?" "If. . . ? The systems have existed since the founding of the United States and it has ebbed and flowed for centuries. . . and now "MAGA" supporters are causing it to flow in 2025 once again. It is not our fault that MAGA want to pretend colorblindness in a society which actively is striving to return to White and Black separation and individualism existing in a country intended for homogeneity and heterogeneity. 

And for the love of Jesus, do not attempt to lecture me about the 'black' experience across decades until and unless you testify to having lived it across decades. "Dipping" in and out can only educate you about just so much. It is safe to say I have lived in the nuances of being a black, male, homosexual and that our society did not support me and I am damn sure MAGA supporters (and their evangelical "family") and the GOP do not support me now. 

That last sentence (question) of yours is a supposition assuming to know 'real racism' when it is clear that of itself is an open question! ;)

Black people can’t supply clean water?

And the purpose of, you know, non-white government is to produce non-white government and non-white results.

The purpose of non-white government is to produce itself? What is “non-white results?” Is it the purpose of white government to produce white government? What is he even talking about?

systems created by whites because they're more humane, they're more just, they're more fair, and they're more — much more efficient and cleaner, obviously.

There are white people who have unfortunate outcomes and living conditions, that is why they are called poor white trash. But they are not poor because they are white. 

Throughout history there have been poor people of all races , and criminals of all races. At times in the 19th century London had a significant crime problem.  I believe there were very few blacks around at the time. 

At   times   in   the   19th   century   London   had   a   significant   crime   problem

Victorian London faced a significant crime problem, particularly in the East End, where poverty, squalor, and disease were rampant. The Metropolitan Police Force was formed in 1829 to address this issue, but the city's population grew, leading to overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions. The rise in crime rates was a result of the influx of rural workers seeking employment in industrial towns and cities. The police system was victim-led, with the responsibility and costs of prosecution resting with the victim. Despite the establishment of a professional police force, crime rates continued to rise, and the fear of crime remained a constant concern for the population.

Overpopulation is an argument that lost validity twenty or thirty years ago.The Earth is perfectly capable of feeding its population - probably two or three times over - if ressources are managed reasonably.

But ressources are NOT managed reasonably - they are stolen by the ultra-rich to make themselves even richer. So people die of malnutrition.

The only problem with so many humans is that there are more of them to covet their neighbor's ass. It's not really "the rich" that are the problem, it's human nature. Few are able to be satisfied with what they have, they're always looking at what someone else has, always trying to keep up with the Jones's, always thinking the patch of grass someone else occupies is greener. Humans are greedy, jealous and petty. But they're also kind, generous and honest if they want to be. Sadly, that trend is clearly fading in America with this "Me First!" mentality pushed by Trump and his MAGAites. What we see on our streets today from this administration and the pack of feral dogs he calls his base is clearly not kind, not generous and certainly not honest. Those traits have been sacrificed on the altar of Trump and the bloodstains on America will take a long time to completely remove. Those who gave up their kindness, generosity and honesty are bitterly afraid of what they see as overpopulation because to them it's a zero-sum game, they can't afford to be generous or kind. They need to take, take, take, even when they don't really need whatever it is, but they want to make sure someone else doesn't get it before they do. It's the thinking of a neanderthal, but that's what we're facing right now in America, nearly half our nation trying to take us back to the stone age.

I promted ChatGPT : Fact check the claim that " whites around the world are being eliminated". It said 

There is no credible evidence that “whites around the world are being eliminated.”
What is true is that in some societies (especially in the U.S. and other Western nations), the proportion of people identifying as white is changing over time due to demographic factors — not because of any deliberate eradication. The idea of “elimination” comes from a debunked conspiracy theory rooted in fear and misinterpretation of population trends.

The rest is just like the first, an untrue assertion, sloppily postulated and unsupported by facts.

Seriously, white males stop trying to control white women and let them produce for you 'At-will.' Encourage women to want to give birth (incentivize them in a POSITIVE way) and do not DEMAND that a girl or woman forget herself in the 'equation' of life! Make a girl's or woman's SACRIFICE of self for the good 'worthwhile' in her daily living.
