Media Matters has the transcript:
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.
Mediaite reports:
Fox News host Tucker Carlson seized on leaked intelligence about the war in Ukraine to claim the United States is currently engaged in a hot war with Russia. His remarks came after his own network reported this is not happening.
The material shows that U.S. soldiers are present in Ukraine, but White House spokesman John Kirby said the service members are there as part of an embassy defense attaché. But soon after, Carlson claimed the opposite, telling viewers that U.S. soldiers are fighting Russians on Ukraine’s behalf.
Citing the leaked documents, he alleged they show the U.S. is at war. “And yet, this war has never been formally declared,” he added. “It has not been authorized by Congress. And for that reason, this war is a violation of American law. It is a crime.”
The first tweet below is from a Fox reporter.
US troops are not fighting in Ukraine.
NSC’s John Kirby tells Fox there is a small military presence at the Embassy in conjunction with the Defense Attaché’s office working on accountability of material – not providing battlefield support. https://t.co/rmqXeVPaTa

Some industrious #NAFOfellas found the Discord posts of “Lucca,” one of the early publicists of Jack Texeiera’s leaks. As you can see, it’s a sewer of anti-Semitism, Holocaust jokes, racism and bigotry — including against Ukrainians. Quite the cohort here. pic.twitter.com/eHzHAmpUY2
