Former Fox News star Tucker Carlson spoke to the “Redacted” podcast on Friday about two stories he is too scared to fully report.
One of them involves the various controversies and conspiracies surrounding the 2020 election, and the other is the existence of UFOs, otherwise known as “unidentified aerial phenomena,” or UAPs.
“The second thing that bothers me is the UFO story. The more you dig into that and talk to people with actual knowledge. This is another story where there are some fanciful ideas floating around, but there just isn’t any evidence that they’re true. But if you talk to people who have actual knowledge of this that they gathered themselves, there are parts of that story that I do not understand at all that are really, really, really dark. So dark that I haven’t told my wife about it. I haven’t verified any of this, but this isn’t stuff I just read on the internet,” Carlson said.
“There is some stuff there, like, man, I don’t even know what that means. There’s a spiritual component there that I don’t fully understand. So yes, that story bothers me,” he added.
Carlson did do some reporting on the issue while he was still with Fox News.
“One of the reasons we’ve had all of these disclosures and all of this, ten whistleblowers at this point, and it hasn’t really become front page news, part of it is suppression. Part of it is the government doesn’t want you to know about it. But part of it is the public can’t deal with it. It’s too far out. The implications are too profound. And so, I understand that,” Carlson continued.
“I’ve heard things where I’m like, oh man, I don’t even really want to know that, honestly,” he added.
“Can I say one thing? Clearly, this is established and I feel comfortable saying this as a fact, as per the U.S. government. These are real, whatever they are, and they’re not human, and the government has known that for a long time — possibly going back to the 1930s at least. And of course, there is tons of evidence in the written record, in the physical record, in paintings and literature, that people have been seeing and interacting with these things forever, so we know that,” he went on.
“But the justification one often hears is ‘the government’ and various presidents who have been read in, they have not all been, haven’t wanted to disclose this because it would scare people. I always thought that’s bullshit, you’re hiding a crime, which they are, in my opinion,” the X podcaster noted further.
“But I do think there’s a sense in which that is not totally crazy. There is some stuff, if it is true, and I’m kind of thinking it may be true, that is so radical that yeah, we don’t want to tell the people we love most about it. Because why would you want to disturb someone like that? So I kind of get that. I’m not arguing for hiding things, but I understand the impulse. Like, holy smokes, this is heavy,” he concluded.
