“Someone seems to have blown up the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine this morning. So even if this was intentional, it was not a military tactic but an act of terrorism,” Carlson began.

The Ukrainian and Russian governments have accused each other of deliberately destroying the dam as an act of vandalism, according to the paper. washington post. (Related: Tucker Carlson announces show’s new platform)

“Blowing up the dam may be bad for Ukraine, but it hurts Russia much more. He quoted a Ukrainian military commander who said his men fired US-made rockets into the dam’s locks in a test attack,” Carlson said.

Carlson moved on to the next discussion. Washington Post article This indicates that the United States knew of Ukraine’s plans to attack the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline months before it was destroyed. The Post article is based on an information leak on the social media platform Discord.

“So what happened to the dam is no longer a mystery once the facts start to emerge. If you’re fair, Ukrainians probably blew up Nord Stream, Russia’s natural gas pipeline last fall. would conclude that the Ukrainians blew it up, and in fact, as we now know, the Ukrainians actually did it. I am not longing to go to war with myself,” he said.

Carlson quickly mocked corporate media reports of the Nordstream 2 explosion at Russia’s fault, without considering whether Ukraine had blown up the pipeline.

“Oh, but that’s where you go wrong, Mr. and Mrs. Cable News Consumers. Vladimir Putin is just that kind of man — the kind of guy who would shoot himself to get you in trouble. This morning. “We know this because the American media wasted no time accusing Russia of sabotaging their own infrastructure,” Carlson said.

“Nobody who is being paid to cover these things didn’t seem to think that it was even possible that it was Ukrainians who did it. , Ukraine is headed by a man named Zelensky, but it is an absolute fact that he was not involved. Luzon added.

He went on to mock South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsay Graham and Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley for their unwavering support of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and the country. He then extended his media criticism beyond the Ukrainian war to other issues whose narrative should never be questioned.

“But most of the time they just ignore important stories. What happened to the hundreds of billions of US dollars we sent to Ukraine? No one ever got to the bottom of it.What the heck happened on 9/11?Well, it’s still classified.How did Jeffrey Epstein make so much money? How did he die?What about JFK?And so on and on.Not only is the media completely uninterested in these things, but they are actively hostile to anyone who cares. Curiosity is the greatest crime in journalism,” Carlson said.

Carlson cited an intelligence officer who filed a whistleblower Monday about an alleged UFO owned by the U.S. government as a recent example of pressing coverage the media ignores.

“So if you’re wondering why our country seems to be so dysfunctional, this is a big part of why. Nobody knows what’s going on. The group controls access to all relevant information, and the rest of us don’t know.We are allowed to yell about racism as much as we want, but talk about what really matters and Let’s see what happens. Keep it up and they’ll keep you quiet. Trust us. That’s how they keep control,” he continued. .

Carlson ended his monologue with a teaser about future Twitter broadcasts if the platform maintains its commitment to free speech under owner Elon Musk. (Related: 3 things Tucker can do next to rock the world)

Starting today we’re on Twitter hoping this is shortwave radio under our blankets they say there’s no gatekeepers here if it turns out to be a lie we’re off But in the meantime, we are grateful to be here and will be back soon with more.”
