[Update] Tucker Carlson Dismisses NSA's Denial Of His Spying Claims: "Paragraph Of Lies"
The National Security Agency, Tuesday, responded to claims by Carlson that the Biden administration is spying on him, in an effort to force his show off air.
In a statement posted on social media, NSA claimed that Carlson's "allegation is untrue," and that he "has never been an intelligence target of the agency."
Reacting to the statement on his show Tuesday, Carlson slammed the statement as an "entire paragraph of lies."
The Fox News host recounted his communication with the NSA after he made the spying claims on his show Monday.
Carlson said in part:
Last night, we told you about the Biden administration’s efforts to monitor and intimidate this show. On Sunday, we heard from a whistleblower within the U.S. government, someone with direct knowledge who warned us that the NSA was reading our electronic communications, our emails and texts and was planning to leak them selectively in an effort to hurt us.
This person had details from my emails that no one outside the recipient could have known, so it was not a delusion, it was entirely real. In fact, it was confirmed.
After the show last night, after we announced this, other news organizations acted as if it’s totally normal for heavily politicized Intel Agencies to spy on and threaten journalists they disagree with. It’s no big deal, stop whining.
But it is a big deal. It is completely wrong, not to mention illegal, and this is hardly the first time the so-called Intelligence Community has done something like this. They’ve done an awful lot of it. Look it up.
If we let them continue to do it, it’s the end of democracy. Democracy can’t function with semi-independent highly politicized Intel Agencies. It’s really dangerous.
For its part, the Biden administration just ignored the story.
In Washington, this is just considered fine, but it’s not fine. It is dangerous and it is wrong. Some faceless hack in a powerful government spy agency decides he doesn’t like what you think, so he is going to hurt you and there’s nothing you can do about it. That could happen to you.
And when it does happen trust us, NBC News will call you a delusional QAnon conspiracy theorist for complaining about it.
Well, this morning, we decided to just call Paul Nakasone directly. He is the highly political left-wing four-star general who runs the NSA The receptionist refused to put us through. We’re American citizens though, so we kept trying because it’s our right.
This afternoon we got his direct line and we tried again. Nakasone’s assistant seemed shocked that someone whose e-mail, the NSA is reading would dare to call the Director himself. Shut up, serf. Obey.
So they told us Nakasone just wasn’t there. Then just minutes before air tonight, the NSA sent us an infuriatingly dishonest formal statement, an entire paragraph of lies written purely for the benefit of the Intel Communities lackeys at CNN and MSNBC, all those people they hire with the titles on the screen.
They also tweeted out a few minutes ago.
Now, last night on the show, we made a very straightforward claim, NSA has read my private e-mails without my permission. Period. That’s what we said.
Tonight’s statement from the NSA does not deny that, instead it comes with this non-sequitur in part quote, “Tucker Carlson has never been an intelligence target of the agency.” Okay, glad to know.
But the question remains, did the Biden administration read my personal emails? That’s the question that we asked directly to NSA officials when we spoke to them about 20 minutes ago in a very heated conversation. Did you read my emails? And again, they refused to say, again and again, and then they refused even to explain why they couldn’t answer that simple question. We can’t tell you and we won’t tell you why we can’t tell you.
My emails and the message was clear, we can do whatever we want. We can read your personal text, we can read your personal e-mails, we can send veiled threats your way to brush you back if we don’t like your politics. We can do anything. We’re our own country and there’s literally nothing you can do about it. We’re in charge, you’re not.
Orwellian does not begin to describe the experience. It was like living in China, but we should get used to it. Now that the Biden administration has classified tens of millions of patriotic Americans, the kind who served in the military and fly flags in front of their homes as potential domestic terrorists, white supremacist saboteurs, we’re going to see a whole lot more of this kind of thing, a whole lot more.

=============================
The Fox News host Monday, revealed that the Biden administration using the National Security Agency NSA, is spying on him and his production team in an effort to entrap him and force his show off-air. He said he was tipped off about the plot by an NSA whistleblower over the weekend.
According to Carlson, the whistleblower revealed details of a story they had been working on that could have only been known through his texts and emails.. He said his team has formally filed a Freedom Of Information Act(FOIA), request.
The Fox News host made the revelation during a segment on the bogus white supremacy threat that the Biden administration claimed is the gravest national security threat.
Carlson said in part:
Joe Biden told us recently that the single gravest terror threat this country faces is not Islamic radicalism, ISIS or al Qaeda, as the government has told us for 20 years now. It’s not the brutal mobs of race extremists who burned and looted our cities last summer, BLM and Antifa, as — if you’ve been paying attention — you’d assume it would be, of course. They’re the ones who burned the cities.
So why does the Biden administration persist in telling that lie? Well it’s a racial attack, obviously. It is waged for partisan political purposes. Tell black voters that Republicans are the KKK, and maybe they’ll keep voting for you. That’s the idea. It’s certainly easier than fixing Chicago or raising test scores, which they should be doing. But there’s also a deeper significance. The Biden administration is signaling a very real change to actual federal policy. The war on terror, now ongoing for 20 years, has pivoted. It’s now being waged against American citizens — opponents of the regime.
But it’s not just political protesters the government is spying on.
Yesterday, we heard from a whistleblower within the U.S. government, who reached out to warn us that the NSA, the National Security Agency, is monitoring our electronic communications, and is planning to leak them, in an attempt take this show off the air. Now, that’s a shocking claim, and ordinarily we’d be skeptical of it. It’s illegal for the NSA to spy on American citizens. It’s a crime. This isn’t a third-world country. Things like that shouldn’t happen here. But, unfortunately, they do — and in this case, they did.
The whistleblower, who is in a position to know, repeated back to us information about a story we’re working on that could only have come directly from my texts and emails. There’s no other possible source for that information, period. The NSA captured it without our knowledge for political reasons. The Biden administration is spying on us. We’ve confirmed that.
This morning we filed a FOIA request, a Freedom of Information Act request, asking for all information the NSA and other agencies have gathered about this show. We did it mostly as formality. We contacted the press office at the FBI and the NSA. We don’t expect to hear much back. Only Congress can force transparency on the intelligence agencies — and they should, immediately. Spying on opposition journalists is incompatible with democracy. If they’re doing it to us — and again, they are definitely doing it to us — they’re almost certainly doing it to others. This is scary, and we need to stop it right away.
