TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): They're telling you that you're a traitor to your country if you don't want a third world war. And they're panicked, of course, just like Milley was panicked in that tape, they're afraid. Why are they afraid? Because they know the public is not on their side.
But the second we actually go to war with Russia, they will use that as a pretext to crush all dissent. There is no dissent allowed in wartime. And that's what this is really about, in addition to their personal enrichment. It's about changing the domestic politics of the United States. The second we can all say we're at war with Russia, not in effect, but in reality, in a hot war, which is what they want, that's the moment that you are no longer allowed to express your opinions.
And the penalty is jail during war. That's happened a lot and they want that now.
