During the 2024 Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump Jr. took the stage together, with Carlson delivering a powerful speech that immediately went viral. The event was aimed at discussing the importance of encryption and how it relates to freedom and privacy. In a passionate and unapologetic manner, Carlson spoke about how privacy is a fundamental part of freedom and how it is being violated by the government.
Carlson first highlighted the significance of privacy when undertaking online transactions. He emphasized that without privacy, there is no true freedom. He then went on to criticize the government’s control over classified documents, stating that they have over a billion documents that describe how they are using taxpayers’ money without any transparency. This is our government, and yet they have every right to keep key information from us. For example, the government has still not declassified important information about the assassination of JFK, which happened over 60 years ago. And yet, they have the audacity to lecture us about wanting privacy in our financial transactions and personal communications.
Carlson’s frustration was evident when he exclaimed, “So to take a lecture from them about how I’m a criminal because I want privacy in my financial transactions or my phone calls or my text messages, really? Fuck you, actually.” This bold statement received a round of applause from the crowd, who could relate to the sentiment. Carlson then apologized for his use of profanity, but he didn’t really need to. After all, we’re all adults, and sometimes strong language is necessary to convey the severity of a situation.
He continued, “Like that’s prima facie evidence of a crime. You haven’t even declassified the Kennedy assassination files 61 years later, and you’re lecturing me about wanting to have an encrypted text conversation? How dare you! You work for me! You should be in prison.” Carlson’s words struck a chord with the audience, who were in agreement that their government should be held accountable for their actions.

Carlson’s speech was a powerful reminder of our dwindling privacy and the control that the government has over our lives. His passion and conviction only further validate the need to reevaluate our current societal norms and strive for true freedom. In a world where we are constantly monitored and our every move is tracked, it’s refreshing to hear someone speak out against it. And that someone happens to be speaking alongside Donald Trump Jr. only goes to show that they both advocate for a society that values privacy and individual freedom. The event was truly eye-opening and a reminder of the importance of protecting our privacy and fighting for our rights.
