“Our military at times does not seem interested in protecting the country,” Carlson noted, on a weekend when public personalities and elected officials were under the microscope for messaging before and during the holiday weekend. Carlson hosted a Memorial Day special from the set of Tucker Carlson Today, the recently launched program on Fox News’s streaming service Fox Nation. As is often the case on holidays, this episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight comprised interview highlights from the streaming show interspersed with taped intros and transitions of Carlson from the woodsy set of his dayside program. “So much has changed in the United States in the past year that it’s hard to keep track of it all,” Carlson opened. “Public health experts have been exposed as frauds, as incompetent and dishonest. Our schools are openly teaching racism to our children. Our military, at times, does not seem interested in protecting the country. These are big changes with real ramifications.”
