TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Yeah and I'm not naming him because I can't get anyone to confirm that it's really him. Sounds like it is him. But I don't want to say it unless I can get confirmation. But, I mean, at some point -- this is undermining people's confidence in the government.

NUNES: And if you are not doing that, there is something wrong --
CARLSON: Well, exactly. His life's in danger? Oh spare me. Live my life for a week.
