WASHINGTON — Fox News’ Tucker Carlson gave an interview to an 18-year-old student journalist where he advised young men to avoid “casual sex” and porn, which he called “bad” and a cause of unhappiness.
University of Chicago student Daniel Schmidt, who hosts a show called “Piece of Schmidt,” shared his interview with the popular basic cable personality via Twitter.
The college freshman led 53-year-old Carlson into revealing his musings about porn, stating his belief that “a lot of young men don’t have meaning, don’t have purpose.”
“Do you think porn is the main driver behind that?” Schmidt asked the Fox News host. “Do you think because men can just get that stimulation from a bunch of pixels on the screen? Do you think that has been a big change since you were a kid?”
“It has certainly been a big change,” replied Carlson, whose on-air opinions were characterized by his own network’s lawyers and a New York district judge as not “stating actual facts” about the topics he discusses and instead as “exaggeration” and “non-literal commentary” in a 2020 lawsuit.
“I’ll be honest, that is one subject we have done a couple subjects on it, but I am just too squeamish to dig into it,” he said. “My suspicion is exactly what you said. Any time you have a societal change you are going to have downstream effects and if it is big change there are going to be big effects.”
According to Carlson’s statements, he believes that all porn is “clearly bad, it is clearly dehumanizing. It is clearly desensitizing. How could that not be true? Of course, it is.”
With ominous intent, Carlson repeated the myth — shared by others in the mainstream media — that adult companies are somehow more mysteriously run than other businesses, and used the opportunity to call for War on Porn actions against them
Porn is “also clearly very profitable,” Carlson told Schmidt. “So who are these people getting rich from porn and why don’t we know their names? Why aren’t they answering for the damage they are doing?”
Prompted by Schmidt’s non-factual statement that MindGeek “owns all the major porn websites,” Carlson said that “someone is probably making billions of dollars from destroying the country” and demanded to know “his name.”
Casual Sex ‘Too Easy’ for Carlson
Carlson then shared his notions about how he believes younger people and casual sex.
“This whole idea that banging 40 people in your 20s is a net positive or something, it is actually not even that fun,” Carlson told the 18-year-old interviewer. “I think, for men anyway, it is all in the chase, men are programmed to want to pursue women, of course. But that is the pleasure, having sex with strangers is never that fun, let’s just stop lying about it.”
“You are too drunk anyway,” Carlson added, with the implication that young sexuality is always linked to being incapacitated.
Carlson also shared his belief that casual sex is “super-easy, so that is not an achievement at all, because feminism has convinced women that they have to be like men so that they have to sleep with you or whatever.”
Carlson described this status quo as “so unbelievably fucked up it’s hard to believe it is actually real. But it is. Anyway, it is all fake, it is all pure propaganda, that is why everyone is so unhappy. Add meaning to your life and you will be happy.”
The TV personality also suggested that young men “get married, have more children than is affordable, to take a job they are unqualified for, and go ‘balls out’ and have adventures,” Newsweek reported.
