I know because I got a call from one saying, \u2018Oh, this is what your e-mail was about.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, it is not in any way a figment of my imagination,\u201d Carlson continued. \u201cIt\u2019s confirmed, it\u2019s true. They are not allowed to spy on American citizens. They are. I think, more ominously, they are using information they gather to put leverage and to threaten opposition journalists, people who criticize the Biden administration. It\u2019s happening to me right now. And I think it\u2019s shocking, and I don\u2019t think we should put up with it in a free country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s worse than shocking,\u201d Bartiromo responded. \u201cIt\u2019s the stuff of banana republics and Third World countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTucker, there is no other one who saw these emails? And this whistleblower relayed to you exactly what was in your communication? There is no way anybody else could have seen those emails?\u201d she then asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was one other person who knew I sent that email, and it was my executive producer Justin Wells,\u201d Carlson, answered. \u201cThat\u2019s it, and I didn\u2019t mention it to anybody else, including my wife. There is no possibility that anyone else could have known then again yesterday I got the call before air, like 7:15, from a journalist I know and like \u2014 not many left, but do I like this person \u2014 he repeated [it] back to me. He got it because the NSA leaked it. So, yes, it\u2019s entirely real.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlson later went on to note how few journalists have defended him against the NSA. Acknowledging he is \u201cout-of-step\u201d with most Beltway journalists, whom he described as \u201cdefenders of the Biden administration\u201d who \u201csee themselves as Democratic Party operatives,\u201d Carlson was still perplexed that they seemingly did not find his allegations alarming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a massive threat not simply to me and my show\u2026but to journalism itself, to the idea of a free press,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can\u2019t have a free press if the intel agencies are secretly spying on you and then using that information to threaten you and to control you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a huge problem for the country,\u201d Carlson continued. \u201cAnd yet, outside of Glenn Greenwald, I don\u2019t think there was anybody who stood up and said, \u2018Wait, this is a huge problem for all of us.\u2019 Instead, they made excuses for the NSA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe agree with you,\u201d Bartiromo said. \u201cThis is wrong. It must be stopped. And the politicizing of all these government agencies is out of control \u2014 from the NSA, the Department of Defense, to the IRS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NSA issued a carefully worded statement in response to Carlson\u2019s allegations last week, which he described as \u201cinfuriatingly dishonest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn June 28, 2021, Tucker Carlson alleged that the National Security Agency has been \u2018monitoring our electronic communications and is planning to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air,&#8217;\u201d the agency said. \u201cThis allegation is untrue. Tucker Carlson has never been an intelligence target of the Agency and the NSA has never had any plans to try to take his program off the air.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNSA has a foreign intelligence mission. We target foreign powers to generate insights on foreign activities that could harm the United States,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cWith limited exceptions (e.g. an emergency), NSA may not target a US citizen without a court order that explicitly authorizes the targeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nsa-response-to-carlson-sparks-numerous-reactions-this-is-either-poorly-drafted-or-something-worse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NSA Response To Carlson Sparks Numerous Reactions: \u2018This Is Either Poorly Drafted Or Something Worse\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
