TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Instead, the only man who has been taken into custody -- or likely ever will be -- is a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guardsmen who leaked the slides that showed that Lloyd Austin was lying. He revealed the crimes, therefore he's the criminal. That's how Washington works. Telling the truth is the only real sin.
Now, our news media exists and have constitutional protection for precisely in order to push back against this grotesque standard. Their only job is to tell the truth. And yet tonight, the news media are celebrating the capture of the kid who told Americans what's actually happening in Ukraine. They are treating him like Osama Bin Laden, maybe even worse actually, because unlike Al Qaeda, apparently this kid is a racist.
