Former Fox News primetime host Tucker Carlson on Thursday released the second episode of his newest production, “Tucker on Twitter.”
The episode, titled, “Cling to your taboos!” is a 12-minute long video podcast where Carlson addresses the connection between pedophilia and the growing acceptance of white supremacy without defining it.

Discussing an article from The Washington Post citing a study that found a “large network” of Instagram accounts that “appeared to be operated by minors openly advertising self-generated child sexual abuse material for sale,” Carlson argued that the FBI is “too busy” to investigate the matter.
“So far this month the FBI’s Washington Field Office has issued 11 press releases. 10 out of 11 have been about January 6th. Keep in mind that January 6th happened more than 2 and a half years ago. Now you know why the feds were ignoring kid-touchers on Instagram, they’re too busy to respond. They have much more important things to do like finding white supremacists,” Carlson said.
“White supremacists are America’s new child molesters,” Carlson asserted.
After showing a video of President Joe Biden arguing that white supremacy is the “most dangerous, terrorist threat” to America, Carlson asked, “But what is it? That’s the question. Can anyone in authority actually define white supremacy?”
“These are not rhetorical questions. When the President of the United States describes something as the worst possible crime that Americans can commit you have a right to know what that crime is,” Carlson added. “When no one is willing to define the offense, you can’t be sure whether or not you are committing it. You could be accused at any time and have everything taken from you, you live in fear.”
Carlson further argued that anybody can be guilty of a crime when one has “no definition.”
“It’s hard to relax in a country like that. The old system was better. Government operated on the basis of laws, not amorphous moral terror. Politicians couldn’t accuse you of something they couldn’t define. The legal code was straightforward; child molestation was a crime, having unfashionable opinions was not,” Carlosn said.
The former Fox News host concluded by urging his audience to “protect” taboos “despite the hectoring.”
“You know the outlines of right and wrong. You were born knowing them. So don’t let them talk you out of what you can smell. Don’t let them rationalize away your intuitive moral sense. Cling to your taboos like your life depends on it. Because it does. Cherish and protect them like family heirlooms. That’s exactly what they are,” Carlson said.
As of press time, this video has over 41 million views.
