Political commentator Tucker Carlson said that politicians are “terrified” of intelligence agencies framing them with “kiddie porn” if they oppose warrantless spying on Americans. Carlson made the stunning allegation on an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” that aired on Friday.
The former Fox News host told Rogan that lawmakers have personally told him they fear retaliation from the intelligence community if they oppose reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
“People don’t say that because they’re worried about being punished,” Carlson said. “They’re worried about someone putting kiddie porn on their computer. Members of Congress are terrified of the intel agencies. I’m not guessing at that. They’ve told me that — including people on the intel committee, including people who run the intel committee.”
“The people whose job it is to oversee and keep in line these enormous, secretive agencies whose budgets we can’t even know — their ‘black budgets,’” Carlson added. “They’re the parents, the agencies are the children. They’re afraid of the agencies. That’s not compatible with democracy.”
Carlson reiterated that politicians are supporting “warrantless spying” on American citizens because “they’re threatened.”

Wonder if intel already have evidence about such things and it’s why they passed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act?.
Three things make DC. roll money bribes and gotcha.
If Congress critters, (especially if they are innocent) are so craven in the face of such a simplistic, thuggish threat - then there is no hope for the Republic
Among the truest and most important things Tucker has said.

What’s a little porn on their computers?When the present addministration is loaded with perverts,a man in an Admial’s uniform identifying as a woman,a sec.of transportation married to another man,and took maternity leave to care for their baby?

Certainly possible and certainly not beyond this bunch, but I’d expect some to call their bluff, rather than cower in fear, and, so far at least, I don’t know of any cases where someone high up has been been caught downloading and has denied it, which I would expect if crap was planted on his computer.
I never heard that had happened. wow.

In 1997, I acquired reliable inside information that child porn/rape was an evolving “thing” amongst southern politicians. Today, I can only imagine how that’s grown and become acceptable in certain circles. The intel from the FBI must be profound and genuine with a good many. However, to play the fake “kiddie porn card” on anyone would only go so far. To frame effectively, it must be used rarely and with overwhelming force - mixing truth with the lies. As we move into the world of AI, actual crimes will require actual eye witness testimony; video and images will be questionable, across the board and in any allegation. I already have a few dopey “conservative” friends spreading AI generated crap about Obama.

Ex-CBS reporter: Government agency bugged my computer

But the most shocking finding, she says, was the discovery of three classified documents that Number One told her were “buried deep in your operating system. In a place that, unless you’re a some kind of computer whiz specialist, you wouldn’t even know exists.”
“They probably planted them to be able to accuse you of having classified documents if they ever needed to do that at some point,” Number One added.

Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan Experience: Podcast Number 2138:
“What makes it particularly galling, and hard to live with, is when you call that system a democracy. That’s too dishonest for me. I would much rather live in a monarchy where everyone thinks that the king has been assigned by God to rule over us, and his whims are law. That makes sense. I don’t like it, but at least it has internal coherence.
When Congress stands up to pass a $60 billion funding bill for Ukraine, when seventy percent of the population doesn’t want it, when Congress is ignoring the actual problems in our country like the economy and the border, and they’re calling in Congress over the weekend to pass something that people don’t want, while ignoring the demands that people do want, and if Congress does the same kind of thing again and again and again for fifty years, and journalists call this system a democracy —that dishonesty will drive you insane.
Because it’s just too dishonest.
Why not just say: “We don’t give a shit what you want, we are getting something out of this Ukraine funding, whether it’s the thrill of being masters of the universe, or whether it’s money from the defense contractors, whatever we’re getting out of it, is more important to us than popular opinion, this is not self-government, ordinary people don’t run this country, we run this country, so shut up and obey” — if Congress at least said that, you would be like “okay, I get it, those are the terms”.
But if I get another fucking lecture from Joe Scarborough about defending democracy, when America is not a democracy, it’s not even a close approximation of a democracy, then I’m going to go crazy.
Because I just can’t deal with the lying anymore.
…
I guess what bothers me is that the lies aren’t sophisticated.
When I look back over my now-sort-of-long-life, and I recognize all the times I was previously deceived, you know I didn’t know I was being tricked. I wasn’t aware. They tricked me, and successfully pulled it off.
There’s something incredibly insulting and demeaning, to tell me something that’s a lie, and I know it’s a lie, and you know I know it’s a lie — we both know it’s a lie, and nonetheless you’re demanding that I pretend to believe it? What you’re really saying is: “I have no respect for you. You’re my slave. I’m demanding that you participate in my lie.”
The lack of stealth really bothers me a lot.”
—Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan Experience: Podcast Number 2138
The explanation about Nixon was revealing.
There’s a purpose when it comes to forcing you to tell blatant lies, as in “men can be women”. When you are forced to say something you know to be untrue, they have ever-so-slightly dehumanized you, and even if you secretly know it is a lie, you still buy into the concept very slightly... by uttering the words.
