TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Now, why aren't you seeing more footage like this on other media? You know why.

Journalists, and the politicians they exist to protect, are lying to you. They need you to believe that those windmills were a great investment. You paid for them.

People already know that they're expensive. People who live near them know they destroy the environment and kill animals. Huge numbers of animals.

But if people knew they'd crashed the power grid, maybe they wouldn't put up with it anymore. So, they've decided to tell you that these frozen wind turbines aren't really a big deal. Not a big deal.
