Watch: Tucker Carlson Sends a Message to Viewers in Second Episode Since Leaving Fox News: ‘Cling to Your Taboos’

Tucker Carlson released a new video via Twitter on Thursday, encouraging viewers to “cling to your taboos” in a stern and forceful monologue touching on many of the cultural issues of the day.

In this video, which constitutes the second installment of Carlson’s new series “Tucker on Twitter,” the former Fox News firebrand draws attention to the forces of moral entropy which degrade society’s moral standards, urging viewers to stand firm in their folkways in the face of top-down pressure to amend their ethical views.

“Over time, social prohibitions are more powerful and more enduring than laws. Societies are defined by what they will not permit, as are famously religions,” Carlson says.

“American society isn’t overtly religious, but it’s governed by taboos, and it always has been. What’s interesting is how fast our taboos are changing. This is not happening organically. What we’re allowed to dislike is being dictated to us from above, sometimes by force. …

“One by one, with increasing speed, our old taboos have been struck down. Those that remain have lost their moral force. Stealing, flaunting your wealth, striking women, smoking marijuana on the street, shameless public hypocrisy, taking other peoples’ money for not working: All of these things used to be considered unacceptable in America — not anymore,” Carlson adds.

Carlson’s monologue becomes gravely serious as he touches on the mother of all taboos: the social consensus that holds the sexual violation of children as the single ugliest crime one can commit.

“So it probably shouldn’t surprise us that the greatest taboo of all is teetering on the edge of acceptability: child molestation. A generation ago, talking to someone else’s children about sex was widely considered grounds for a thrashing. Touching them sexually was effectively a death penalty offense.”

Carlson goes on to lament the media’s lionization of convicted pedophile Joseph Rosenbaum as a “victim” of Kyle Rittenhouse’s fatal shootings in Kenosha, citing the media’s coverage of the incident as an example of the subtle moral erosion normalizing pedophilia.

Carlson continues his diatribe by touching on the recent exposé by the Wall Street Journal which revealed that Instagram’s algorithm systematically assisted pedophile networks to solicit child porn and abuse children.

“It was all pretty shocking, but not as shocking as what happened next — which was effectively nothing at all. The largest circulation newspaper in the United States revealed that one of the most influential companies was promoting pedophilia, and nobody in power did anything about it,” Carlson said.

“White supremacists are America’s new child molesters. We have zero tolerance for white supremacists because no one threatens this country more than they do,” he added.

Carlson closed his monologue with a powerful pean to the old moral order and an appeal to his audience to “cling to” their taboos, even despite the disapproval of institutional authorities.

“The old system was better. Government operated on the basis of laws, not amorphous moral terror. … Outside of the public sphere, the population mostly governed itself, as it does in every society, and used taboos to do it. You knew what was allowed and what wasn’t because the rules didn’t change very often. The taboos were organic. They derived from collective experience and instinct, the two most reliable guides to life. They evolved for a reason — they still do. Our job at this point is to protect them, despite the hectoring — the nonstop hectoring — from the people in charge. You know the outlines of right and wrong; you’re 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 them, because it does. Cherish and protect them like family heirlooms. That’s exactly what they are,” Carlson concluded.

The new video follows hot on the heels of Carlson’s first installment of “Tucker on Twitter,” a wide-ranging broadside which took aim at the media for deceiving the public on multiple issues. While Carlson touched on a wide variety of topics, perhaps the most eyebrow-raising was Carlson’s suggestions that the U.S. government was lying to us about a different kind of aliens than the type which cross the border illegally from Mexico.

The video received a mixed response from Carlson’s supporters for its promotion of narratives pertaining to UFOs and possible human contact with extraterrestrials, which some critics saw as a distracting and alienating departure from Carlson’s strong anti-establishment and nativist message.

“At the end of the day, even if aliens existed, I don’t trust our ruling class to honestly inform us about them,” said writer and podcaster Patrick Casey on Twitter. “So the best response for now [in my opinion] is skepticism. But beyond a meta-level inquiry into UFOs as a news item, the right shouldn’t become fixated on this issue. We have far more important issues to focus on: demographic replacement, the anti-white agenda, trans agenda, crime, opposing wars, etc.”
