Tucker Carlson Says He Does not Personal a Laptop As a result of the CIA Crops ‘Kiddie Porn’

Tucker Carlson constantly ranks among the many prime 20 podcasts on platforms like Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. However the far-right influencer made a reasonably weird admission about expertise on his present this previous Tuesday. The previous Fox Information host claims he doesn’t personal a pc. Why? Carlson says he doesn’t need the CIA to plant “kiddie porn” on it.

The subject got here up when Carlson was talking along with his visitor, MAGA commentator Saagar Enjeti, about Jefferey Epstein and the Division of Justice’s insistence that there was nothing extra to launch concerning the late pedophile. DOJ launched nearly 11 hours of safety digital camera video this week, purporting to indicate Epstein in jail, however a minute was lacking, simply resulting in extra conspiracy theories. DOJ additionally launched a letter claiming the one different movies held by the company had been little one sexual abuse materials, not proof of highly effective folks committing crimes with Epstein.

Carlson mentioned there have been two potential the reason why the DOJ was refusing to launch extra info on the Epstein case. The primary was that Trump was within the recordsdata, although Carlson mentioned he didn’t suppose that was true.

“For no matter his sins, I don’t suppose he’s that man, really. I don’t suppose he likes creepy intercourse stuff,” Carlson mentioned. Trump, after all, has mentioned a number of creepy, sexual issues over the years, together with repeated feedback about his personal daughter Ivanka. In 2006, for instance, Trump mentioned that if Ivanka wasn’t his daughter he’d be relationship her. Trump was additionally mates with Epstein, and there are numerous images of the two men together.

Carlson went on to say the opposite risk was that U.S. and Israeli intelligence providers had been concerned within the Epstein story and that “they’re being protected.” Enjeti agreed, saying there have been “a number of documented instances” of the CIA being concerned in pedophilia, perpetrated by CIA officers.

However then Carlson revealed one thing reasonably odd about his personal tech use. Carlson mentioned that he doesn’t even personal a pc because of his concern that an intelligence company will body him with little one sexual abuse materials.

“Effectively, after they wish to crush you, they put kiddie porn in your laptop. That’s why I don’t have a pc. Don’t need one. That’s why. No laptop in my home,” Carlson said.

Clearly, that’s a reasonably drastic measure to take, however it will be completely doable for those who’re a millionaire who can afford to be fully disconnected from conversations on-line. Nevertheless it does increase questions on how Carlson consumes media. Smartphones are simply computer systems in handheld type. Does Carlson personal a smartphone? Does he imagine that an company like CIA would have the ability to plant “kiddie porn” on a laptop computer however not on a telephone?

One in all Carlson’s previous sponsors is an organization referred to as Unplugged, which payments itself as the last word privateness protector. “Unplugged exists to combat, reclaim, and defend information privateness and freedoms,” the corporate explains on its web site. Unplugged was began by Erik Prince, the billionaire founding father of disgraced mercenary agency Blackwater, so you may guess how a lot anybody ought to trust those claims. However maybe Carlson was simply doing a delicate pitch for one in all his sponsors. Who is aware of?

Carlson has been a frequent critic of the CIA, although his household has ties to a number of the very issues he criticizes on his present commonly. Carlson’s father, Richard Warner Carlson, was the top of Voice of America underneath President Ronald Reagan from 1986-1991. Tucker was reportedly rejected when he utilized to work on the CIA as a youthful man, one thing Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared to tease him about on stage throughout an interview in 2024.

Carlson’s episode on Tuesday additionally bought into different subjects that will have been shocking to the MAGA world, together with a second when he criticized the sports activities playing and cryptocurrency industries. “They’re preying, because the crypto folks do, sorry, on the frustration and unhappiness of younger males who know they’re by no means going to have the ability to afford a spouse, children, and a home,” Carlson mentioned. Trump himself has turn out to be deeply concerned in crypto, with holdings price about $1 billion in keeping with latest estimates from Forbes.

Gizmodo has tried to e-mail Carlson’s firm, referred to as the Tucker Carlson Community, to ask about his tech use however we don’t know the way he’ll reply with out entry to a pc. In case you’re studying this, Tucker, please ship us a message. Service pigeon, smoke indicators, no matter you bought.
