Credit card bills were framed as something people should ignore each month. The claim was that credit card companies exploit people, likened to drug dealers. A moral obligation was asserted in the context of not sending credit card applications to college kids, with responsibility described as shared between sellers and users. The advice was connected to the idea of not spending money you do not have, with the stance described as having shifted over time. The remarks were delivered alongside broader show themes, including references to Satanism and claims about demonic voices tied to Freemasons. Reactions included criticism from Donald Trump and political fallout from a movement.
"“I think people should stop paying their credit cards,” Carlson said on his program on Monday. “I know no one else agrees with me, and Oh, you have a moral obligation.' Really? The former Fox News star said it isn't a big deal because the credit card giants exploit people, just like drug dealers. Well, you have a moral obligation not to send credit card applications to college kids, he continued. So this goes both ways.”"
"“It's like just blaming the drug addict and never mentioning the dealer. Someone's selling the fentanyl and that person is on the hook too. Carlson shared his take after his guest Ryan Montgomery brought up the old adage don't spend money you don't have. Carlson said he used to agree with that idea, but he has evolved to the point where stiffing the credit card companies doesn't bother him.”"
"“Like, is it a sin to rip off your drug dealer? I guess, Carlson said. It's not one I'm going to judge you for.”"
"“Those remarks came during an episode that focused on a topic he's been emphasizing a bit more of late Satanism. That topic came up last week on his show as well, when Sean Stone the son of filmmaker Oliver Stone said he was routinely hounded by demonic voices that had 666 phone numbers when he was a member of the Freemasons.”"
