Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson made waves on Monday after speaking alongside Donald Trump Jr. at the 2024 Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee.
Videos shared on social media Tucker Carlson Network In the video, a man (who identifies himself by what appears to be an online name) speaks powerfully about the importance of encryption when conducting online transactions and how it constitutes freedom.
“Privacy is key. Without privacy, there is no freedom. Privacy is a prerequisite for freedom,” Carlson agreed.
“You know where a great deal of privacy and secrecy is kept,” he continued, “the federal government has over a billion classified documents that document what they're doing in our name with our money. This is our government.” (RELATED: Tucker Carlson bluntly asks Chris Cuomo if he's ever hit a woman)
“Yet they have the right to hide important decisions from us… They just allowed a presidential candidate to get shot, and we're not allowed to know why it happened,” Carlson added. “So now I'm being lectured that I'm a criminal because I want my financial transactions and phone calls and text messages to be private? That's bullshit.”

The crowd applauded Carlson's remarks, which upon reflection rang terrifyingly true. “Sorry for using foul language, but it makes me so angry,” he added, but there was no need for him to apologize. We're all adults here. (Related: Tucker Carlson's show overtakes Joe Rogan as America's most popular podcast)
“As if that were indisputable evidence of a crime. 61 years later you still haven't even declassified the Kennedy assassination files and now you're lecturing me about wanting to have encrypted text conversations? How dare you! You work for me!” “You should be in jail,” Carlson concluded.
You can watch the full event here: I was pretty surprised at how much I learned from this conversation, which ultimately confirmed my desire to live off-grid (hopefully) because our ideas about modern society have failed.
