Tucker Carlson Drops Must-See Interview With Vladimir Putin

“The war in Ukraine is a human disaster,” Tucker Carlson declared in an announcement video Tuesday explaining why he decided to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Here’s why we’re doing it [interviewing Putin],” he disclosed. “First, because it’s our job. We’re in journalism. Our duty is to inform people two years into a war that’s reshaping the entire world. Most Americans are not informed. They have no real idea what’s happening in this region here in Russia, or 600 miles away in Ukraine. But they should know they’re paying for much of it in ways they might not fully yet perceive.”

Carlson criticized the Western media’s portrayal of the conflict, accusing it of omission and bias, particularly in its coverage of Ukrainian President Zelensky, which he described as “fawning pep sessions.”

“Americans have a right to know all they can about a war they’re implicated in, and we have the right to tell them about it because we are Americans, too,” Carlson continued.

“We are not here because we love Vladimir Putin. We are here because we love the United States, and we want to remain prosperous and free.”

In response to Carlson’s announcement video, the establishment went into full panic mode. Hillary Clinton painted Carlson as a “useful idiot” for Putin Wednesday, a clear sign that Carlson’s interview poses an imminent threat to the establishment narrative.

The truth is, they’re afraid because hundreds of millions of people will get to see and hear Putin without the corporate media filter for the very first time.

Carlson says the interview is an exercise of freedom of speech, asserting Americans’ right to hear different perspectives, including Putin’s, on the war. He encourages viewers to watch the interview and form their own opinions, underscoring the importance of freedom of speech and information.

Watch the full interview:

Below is a compilation of video clips from the interview:

Clip 1

Vladimir Putin reveals that he once asked then-President Bill Clinton if Russia could join NATO.

First, Clinton answered, “I think so,” but after speaking with his others, he said, “It’s not possible.”

Carlson asked Putin if he was sincere about joining NATO, and Putin clarified that he genuinely wanted to know if membership was a possibility.

He indicated that a positive response from the West could have led to a process of reconciliation and, potentially, eventual membership into NATO.

Clip 2

Tucker asked Putin: “So, twice you’ve described US presidents making decisions and then being undercut by their agency heads. So, it sounds like you’re describing a system that’s not run by the people who are elected in your telling.”

Putin answered: “That’s right. That’s right.”

Clip 3

Putin asserts: “It was they [the Ukrainian side and its Western allies] who started the war in 2014. Our goal is to stop this war. And we did not start this war in 2022. This is an attempt to stop it.”

Putin identifies the coup, or overthrow of the Ukrainian government in 2014, which led to the ousting of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovychto, as the initial provocation that sparked the conflict.

“CIA did its job to complete the coup… But the political mistake was colossal.”

Putin added: “We did not agree to NATO’s expansion, and moreover, we never agreed that Ukraine would be in NATO.”

Clip 4

Tucker asks Putin, “Have you achieved your aims?”

Putin answers, “No, we haven’t achieved our aims yet because one of them is denazification. This means the prohibition of all kinds of neo-nazi movements.”

Putin claims that certain Ukrainian nationalists, such as Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych, collaborated with Hitler, committing atrocities against Polish, Jewish, and Russian populations.

He condemns the modern-day glorification of these figures in Ukraine, including erecting monuments and celebrating them as national heroes, likening some contemporary Ukrainian nationalist displays to those of Nazi Germany.

Putin argues against the foundation of Ukrainian national identity on what he perceives as Nazi ideology, asserting that Ukrainians are part of the broader Russian people, while also acknowledging their right to self-identify as a separate nation, provided it’s not based on Nazism.

“I say that Ukrainians are part of the one Russian people…but not on the basis of Nazism, the Nazi ideology.”

Clip 5

Putin told Tucker Carlson that he talked to Zelensky about the Nazis in Ukraine and asked why he was ok with that when “your own father” fought against the Nazis during WWII.

“I said, Volodymyr, what are you doing? Why are you supporting neo-Nazis in Ukraine today while your father fought against fascism? He was a frontline soldier. I will not tell you what he answered.”


Clip 6

The name of billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk even entered the conversation.

TUCKER: “So when does the AI empire start, do you think?”

(Putin Laughs)

PUTIN: “You’re asking increasingly more complicated questions … Mankind is currently facing many threats. Due to the genetic researches, it is now possible to create a superhuman, a specialized human being, a genetically-engineered athlete, scientist, [or] military man. There are reports that Elon Musk has already had a chip implanted in the human brain in the USA.”

TUCKER: “What do you think of that?”

PUTIN: “Well, I think there’s no stopping Elon Musk. He will do as he sees fit. Nevertheless, you need to find some common ground with him — search for ways to persuade him. I think he’s a smart person. I truly believe he is. So you need to reach an agreement with him. Because this process needs to be formalized and subjected to certain rules.”

Clip 7

TUCKER ASKS: “Who blew up Nord Stream?”

PUTIN JOKES: “You [Tucker Carlson], for sure.”

TUCKER: “I was busy that day. I did not blow up Nord Stream. Thank you, though.”

PUTIN: “You personally may have an alibi, but the CIA has no such alibi.”

TUCKER: “Do you have evidence that NATO or the CIA did it?”

PUTIN: “You know, I won’t get into details, but people always say in such cases, look for someone who is interested. But in this case, we should not only look for someone who is interested, but also for someone who has capabilities because there may be many people interested, but not all of them are capable of sinking to the bottom of the Baltic Sea and carrying out this explosion. These two components should be connected. Who is interested, and who is capable of doing it?”

Clip 8

TUCKER ASKS PUTIN: “If you had evidence … that NATO, the US, CIA, the West, did this [Nord Stream], why wouldn’t you present it and win a propaganda victory?”

(Putin Laughs)

PUTIN: “In the war of propaganda, it is very difficult to defeat the United States because the United States controls all the world’s media and many European media. The ultimate beneficiary of the biggest European media is American financial institutions. Don’t you know that? It is possible to get involved in this work, but it is cost-prohibitive, so to speak. We can simply shine the spotlight on our sources of information, and we will not achieve results.”
