TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Most authoritarian leader that country has ever had and no one else comes close. An appalling abuser of human rights of her own people. She, of course, earned the admiration of Western leaders including former CIA director Michael Hayden by ushering in an era of near totalitarianism in New Zealand. She shut down the entire country over a single COVID case. She told everyone to stay in their bubbles, she told citizens to inform on their neighbors by calling the police if they saw them outside. 

...

What are the chances she was a puppet of the Chinese government? We don't have enough evidence to prove that, but we would rate that as about 100 percent likely.
