What's Life's One Goal? To Carlson, the Answer Is Simple.

From interviews to analysis and commentary, Tucker Carlson is building a diverse array of content on his new streaming platform, Tucker Carlson Network, where members can ask the former Fox News host a question and watch his video response. 

In the second installment of the series, Ask Tucker, Carlson responded to two anonymous questions. The first asked him, “If I achieve one thing in life, what should it be?” 

“Now, it tells you a lot about modern America that that’s even a question. No person, certainly no man in the previous, say, 15,000 years would have asked, ‘What should I achieve in life?’” 

To Carlson, the answer was simple.

“There’s really only one objective in life. And that’s reproduction,” he argued.  

Not only does having children make “you the patriarch of a clan” it also “gives meaning to your life.” 

“You could spend your entire life working for Deutsche Bank, which is obviously pointless and destructive of the social order. And you probably wouldn’t feel good about that,” Carlson continued. “But if you had a bunch of kids, you would still win because you’re passing on your genes.”

The commentator went on to argue that even if a person has committed numerous crimes, if he has more children than you, he’s still “ahead.”

“Next time you read about someone who has like, 27 arrests and he’s been arrested for some horrible crime and he’s a complete ne’er-do-well if not menace to society... Find out how many kids that person has,” Carlson said.

“Push a little more deeply into his background and I’d be willing to bet my late-model car that he’s got more kids than you,” he added. “So, who’s really ahead? You? … Or the guy with 27 drug arrests? The guy with 27 drug arrests. If he’s got more kids than you, he wins because in the end, that’s how we tally the race. By reproduction.”
