Ukrainian and Russian emergency crews evacuated thousands of people. Russia and Ukraine have flung accusations at each other over the dam\u2019s failure.<\/p>\n<p>The dam, located in Russian-controlled territory, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tucker-carlson-returns-with-new-show-tucker-on-twitter\/\" title=\"Tucker Carlson's new show is called 'Tucker On Twitter'.\">reservoir provided fresh water<\/a> for parts of southern Ukraine and almost all of Crimea, which has been in Russian hands since its annexation by Moscow in 2014. The reservoir also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/memphis-airport-shut-down-hospitals-struggling-to-maintain-sanitary-conditions-after-water-pipes-burst-due-to-deep-freeze\/\" title=\"Memphis Airport Shut Down, Hospitals \u2018Struggling To Maintain Sanitary Conditions\u2019 After Water Pipes Burst Due To Deep Freeze\">provided water<\/a> for the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. While the plant maintains an artificial lake to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-biden-media-claim-georgia-law-prevents-giving-water-to-voters-in-line-thats-not-true\/\" title=\"Joe Biden, Media Claim Georgia Law Prevents Giving Water To Voters In Line. That\u2019s Not True.\">provide water<\/a> for its reactors, officials are worried what could happen when the lake runs dry in several months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlowing up the dam may be bad for Ukraine, but it hurts Russia more. And for that reason, the Ukrainian government has considered destroying it,\u201d Carlson said before referencing a December <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2022\/12\/29\/ukraine-offensive-kharkiv-kherson-donetsk\/\">story<\/a> in The Washington Post that described tests the Ukrainian military ran while considering knocking out the dam.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen 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,\u201d Carlson said.<\/p>\n<h3>Media Critique<\/h3>\n<p>Carlson then launched into a critique of the \u201cAmerican media\u201d who \u201cwasted no time this morning in accusing the Russians of sabotaging their own infrastructure.\u201d He also took shots at Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who is running in the GOP primary for president, over their staunch support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson went after the media and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ilhan-omar-other-leftists-distract-from-capitol-attack-by-focusing-on-gun-control-and-racism\/\" title=\"Ilhan Omar, Other Leftists, Distract From Capitol Attack By Focusing On Gun Control And Racism\">high-profile figures<\/a> for accepting certain narratives as true without due scrutiny. \u201cNot 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,\u201d Carlson said.<\/p>\n<h3>Challenging Media Orthodoxies<\/h3>\n<p>Carlson\u2019s new show will challenge the orthodoxies in the media, he said, and he plans to keep the show on Twitter as long as it remains a platform committed to free speech.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs of today, we\u2019ve come to Twitter, which we hope will be the short-wave radio under the blankets. We\u2019re told there are no gatekeepers here. If that turns out to be false, we\u2019ll leave. But in the meantime, we are grateful to be here,\u201d Carlson said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">Ep. 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/O7CdPjF830\">pic.twitter.com\/O7CdPjF830<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TuckerCarlson\/status\/1666203439146172419?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 6, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss out on the latest news and analysis from Tucker Carlson. <b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1685885459858000&#038;usg=AOvVaw0AFvCLn4CIt7S8nPLjhrIg\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>off the air following controversial comments he made about immigration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":1945912,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[3781,10433,3748,4253],"class_list":["post-1945911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-called","tag-carlsons","tag-tucker","tag-twitter"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1945911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/70"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1945911"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1945911\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1945912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1945911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1945911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1945911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
