Tucker Carlson, the ex-Fox News personality, recently exposed troubling information about the Biden administration in a podcast this week. During his interview on the Lex Fridman podcast, Carlson revealed that his phone calls and electronic communications were being monitored by U.S. intelligence agencies before his recent interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He also mentioned that he was warned by the administration that he would be arrested if he conducted a lenient interview with Putin. It is important to note that these intelligence agencies operate under the authority of the current president, Joe Biden.
From the interview:
“TUCKER CARLSON: The only reason I’m telling you [about my meeting with Snowden] is, and I didn’t tell anybody, and I didn’t text it to anybody, OK, except him.
‘“Semafor” runs this piece saying, report “reporting” information they got from the US intel agencies leaking against me, using my money in my name in a supposedly free country. They run this piece saying I’d met with Snowden like it was a crime or something.
“So again, my interest is in the United States, in preserving freedoms here, the ones that I grew up with. And if you have a media establishment that acts as an auxiliary of, or acts as employees of, the national security state, you don’t have a free country and that’s where we are. And I’m not guessing because I spent my entire life in that world, 33 years. I worked in big news companies, so I know how it works. I know the people involved in it. I could name them. Ben Smith of Semafor, among many others. And I find that really objectionable, not just on principle either — in effect, in practice. You don’t want to live in that kind of country.
“People externalize all of their anxiety about this, I have noticed. So it’s like,l “Russia is not free!” Yeah, I know. You know, neither is, you know, Burkina Faso. Like, most countries aren’t free, actually. But we are, we are the United States, we’re different. That’s my concern. Preserving that is my concern.”
