Tucker Carlson calls Joint Chief of Staff Mark Milley a 'traitor' and a 'criminal' after book alleged he told Chinese counterpart he would warn him if US was planning war with China

Tucker Carlson has slammed Mark Milley as 'treasonous' after a new book claimed the Joints Chief of Staff told officials that Trump was a 'serious threat to national security' and 'may need to be handled with physical force'. 

According to the book, Peril, Milley told officials at the National Military Command Center that they 'reported to him, not the elected president of the United States,' and that they were to 'follow no order without consulting him first.' 

He also made secret calls with China behind Trump's back, in an attempt to prevent a war breaking out, and attempted to limit Trump's ability to launch nukes, the book by journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa claims.

'How do you describe this? "Deep state" isn’t strong enough,' Carlson said on his show on Tuesday.  'It’s treason. It’s a crime.' 

On September 14, the Tucker Carlson Tonight host detailed meetings in which Milley allegedly told senior military officials that Trump was a 'serious threat to national security,' and may need to be handled with 'physical force'

'To those who say they’re worried about authoritarianism coming in America, well, it’s here,' Carlson said. 'That’s what this is. Authoritarian government. Government by unelected, unaccountable leaders willing to use violence to preserve their rule.'

Carlson told his viewers that Milley told officials at the first meeting that Trump's behavior put the 'the stability of the Republic' in danger.  

Milley reportedly had similar conversations with CIA Director Gina Haspel, NSA Head Paul Nakasone, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Haspel allegedly warned Milley that America was 'on way to a right-wing coup.' 

'Donald Trump had dared to question the election results,' said Carlson, pointedly. 'For this, Milley explained, the United States military might be required to use physical force against the president.'

Reportedly, Milley had told the assemblage that ' were the guys with the guns.'  

Milley reportedly called Chinese General Li Zuocheng, with whom he had associated for five years, without notifying the president, to assure him that the American government was 'stable.'

'General Li, I want to assure you... Everything is going to be okay,' he told the general, Carlson said.

'We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you... if we're going to attack, I'm going to call you ahead of time. It's not going to be a surprise.'

Carlson said the call was 'treason' and 'a crime.' 

 'According to this account, our country’s top defense official secretly colluded with our chief military rival to undercut the elected president of the United States. How do you describe this? "Deep state" isn’t strong enough.'

 He railed against other officials who 'knew it was happening,' saying that 'our intelligence agencies almost certainly heard Mark Milley's call.'

'If they can read emails from a... show on Fox, what are teh chances they were aware that the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was speaking to a senior Chinese general and what they were saying? Around 100 percent. Yet the NSA did nothing.' 

Carlson called out other media outlets for painting the alleged behavior in a more venerable light - NBC said he ' Trump from misusing nuclear weapons, war with China.'

He played segments from TV news aired today:  in one Rick Stengel of MSNBC said that Milley was a 'hero' who 'behaved in a heroic manner.'  

Milley reportedly expressed his fears that Trump was a risk to national security, Carlson said, with CIA Director Gina Haspel, NSA Head Paul Nakasone, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi

'But what did was ensure the guardrails were in place so I give him high marks for this based on what’s described in the book,' Lieutenant General Mark Hertling told CNN.

'We were in a period of extraordinary danger,' Former General Barry McCaffrey told MSNBC. 'I think Milley will be treated favorably by history.' 

'They cheered ending,' Carlson said. 'They’re happy to see Mark Milley secretly conspiring with the Chinese military to end civilian control of our Pentagon. This is the government they want. You should not forget that.'  

During his segment, Carlson suggested that officials instead should have been concerned with the 'coup' of 'unelected government employees' 'invalidating the votes of millions of American citizens.'

The Taliban's medieval justice: The corpses of three 'criminals' are hoisted from diggers in Herat after they 'invaded another man's home and tried to rob him' in Afghanistan

The bodies of three alleged criminals were hung from diggers in Afghanistan by the Taliban, harrowing pictures released today show. According to deputy governor Mawlawi Shir Ahmad Muhajir, the three men were killed by another man when they entered his home in Obe district in Herat province. In the graphic images shared on social media, the corpses are shown publicly hoisted into the air and hanging by their necks from the raised arms of two diggers as people below watch on and take photographs. Tuesday's gruesome publicly display is yet another example of the kind of practices that feed international concern that the Taliban have returned to their brutal ways last seen when they were in control of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. This is despite the Taliban frequently insisting to the world that it has changed from the hard-line Islamic group that doled out brutal punishments to criminals and greatly restricted the rights of the country's citizens, particularly women and girls.

Gambino family underboss dies in prison from 'health issues' at the age of 89: Daughter 'rushed to be by her father's side and he sang Frank Sinatra as he took his last breath'

Frank LoCascio, the Dapper Don's former underboss and acting consigliere, passed away Friday after serving 31 years of a life sentence A Gambino crime family underboss who stayed loyal to John Gotti even as the pair were hit with life sentences during a 1992 murder and racketeering trial has died in prison at age 89. Frank LoCascio, the Dapper Don's former underboss and acting consigliere, passed away Friday at the Federal Medical Center, Devens - a facility that houses federal prisoners with health issues - in Massachusetts. His daughter, Lisa LoCascio, was by his side as he took his last breaths.  LoCascio had been incarcerated for 31 years before his death last week after famously refusing to snitch on notorious mob boss Gotti during their infamous and highly publicized trial.  What's more, the high-ranking mafioso managed to cheat death during his three decades in the pen even with Gotti as his enemy, after the Teflon Don turned on him and put a 'contract' on hi...

The Texas abortion ban sends mixed signals about the future of Roe v. Wade.

Legal experts say it is still unclear how the Supreme Court will rule on long-standing abortion guarantees, which it plans to review later this year. Despite uproar from activist organizations that see the move as a de facto departure from the 1973 ruling, the Supreme Court's failure to act on Texas's near-total abortion ban does not necessarily mean Roe v. Wade is dead. Legal experts say it is unclear how the Supreme Court will rule on long-standing guarantees for abortion, which it plans to review later this year when it hears a direct appeal against this important ruling. Texas' first-of-its-kind law allows individuals, not the government, to impose a six-week ban on abortion and file lawsuits against health professionals or anyone who helps someone get an abortion. Clinics and other potential claimants will find it more difficult to establish their position in court or to determine a specific target for satisfying claims due to the unusual enforcement mechanism.
