Tucker Carlson is free from the restraints formerly placed on him by Fox News.
Now he’s starting a new venture with a bold vision.
And Tucker Carlson just announced what his new show on Twitter will be about.
The first episode of Tucker Carlson’s new show on Twitter was released on Tuesday and the 10-minute monologue quickly garnered tens of millions of views.
Carlson opened his episode discussing the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine.
Russia and Ukraine have both accused the other of destroying the dam – which is located in Russian-controlled territory – and vital to providing fresh water for parts of southern Ukraine and almost all of Crimea.
Moscow spokesman Dmitry Peskov claimed Ukraine blew up the dam in attempt to “impact Crimea’s water supplies.”
In the opening of his new show, Carlson said, “Blowing up the dam may be bad for Ukraine, but it hurts Russia more. And for that reason, the Ukrainian government has considered destroying it.”
“When the facts start coming in, it becomes much less of a mystery what might have happened to the dam. Any fair person would conclude that the Ukrainians probably blew it up,” Carlson said, recalling a story The Washington Post covered in December that Ukrainian military had been running tests to destroy the Kakhovka Dam.
Carlson then blasted the “American media” who “wasted no time this morning in accusing the Russians of sabotaging their own infrastructure.”
“Not only are the media not interested in any of this, they are actively hostile to anybody who is. In journalism, curiosity is the gravest crime.”
Carlson said the purpose of his new show is to challenge these mainstream media narratives and he will stay at Twitter as long as the platform remains committed to free speech.
“As of today, we’ve come to Twitter, which we hope will be the short-wave radio under the blankets. We’re told there are no gatekeepers here. If that turns out to be false, we’ll leave. But in the meantime, we are grateful to be here,” Carlson said.
Of course, the left threw a fit.
“Carlson cost Fox News almost $800 million for spreading lies he didn’t believe. He lost his job. His first Twitter episode (yes) is all about blaming Ukraine for blowing up the Kakhovka dam, which he falsely describes as ‘effectively Russian,’ and Russia’s ‘own infrastructure,'” senior Yahoo News Correspondent Michael Weiss tweeted.
Meanwhile, CNN exclaimed, “Carlson faces an uphill climb if he hopes to reclaim the power he once enjoyed through Twitter videos.”
The media is clearly terrified now that Carlson is free to speak the message he chooses to millions.
