Tucker Carlson announces his comeback with a show on Twitter.

A New York jury finds Donald Trump liable for sexual assault and defamation to the tune of $5 million.

And the DOJ comes after George Santos.

I'm Ben Shapiro.

This is the Ben Shapiro show.

Today's show is sponsored by ExpressVPN.

Thousands of my listeners have already secured their network data. Join them at ExpressVPN.com slash Ben. While Tucker Carlson has now broken his silence. Last week, he put out a video saying that he would be back sometime in the near future. And yesterday, he put out about a two-minute video in which he explained that he was, in fact, back. He will be launching a version of his show, he says, on Twitter.

Here was Tucker's announcement yesterday.

The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the

fullest truth that you can't. But there are always limits. And you know that if you bump up

against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it. That's not a guess. It's guaranteed.

Twitter has long served as the place where our national conversation incubates and develops.

Twitter is not a partisan site. Everybody's allowed here, and we think that's a good thing.

And yet for the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations

that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets. You see it on cable news, you talk about it on

Twitter. The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge.

We think that's a bad system. We know exactly how it works, and we're sick of it.

Starting soon, we'll be bringing a new version of the show we've been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter.

We bring some other things to which we'll tell you about.

But for now, we're just grateful to be here.

Free speech is the main right that you have.

Without it, you have no others.
