Notorious former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has conducted an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin – the reason for his visit to Moscow – and said he has requested an interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Source: an announcement by Carlson and video message on tuckercarlson.com; Newsweek

Quote: "We’re in Moscow tonight. We’re here to interview the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin. We’ll be doing that soon."

Details: Carlson said he had been preparing for the interview with Putin for several months.

The former TV presenter said that it would be posted on his website. He also noted that Elon Musk had promised not to block this interview with Putin on X (Twitter).

The only way this might be worth Zelenskyy‘s time is if he silently beats Carlson to a bloody pulp.

The man has REAL problems to deal with. He doesn’t need to be “interviewed” by some fascist bootlicker.

If I were Zelensky, I'd only allow Tucker to visit if he went to a specific location, was stripped completely naked, cavity searched and then brought, blindfolded, to an undisclosed location.

And then I'd still do the interview over Zoom.

I like your thinking but I would send him to the front lines instead to interview the commanders in the trenches and make him see what Russia is really doing up close and personal.

Ooh I like that! You don't even need to tell him beforehand, just put him in a tent with a laptop for a 30 second zoom call Zelensky says Tata, I have to go. But if you really want to learn about the war interview my troops. Then just leave him for a day

You know Tucker will whine about it endlessly if he can't get an interview. And also if he can.

I would bet that Fucker Carlson didn't actually ask for an interview with Zelensky, but just says he did so he can get "denied" and have a rant about who the real nazis are...

2028 this anal wart is running for president. Mark my words.

We then will need Jon Stewart to run against him, to wipe the floor with him. Again.

That is a terrifying thought.

He could actually win it.

Yea you're not wrong. The Republicans are playing the long game here. They're really getting involved with the youth, I mean just look at rumble for example and whatever other medium they've been using. The Democrats are virtually non-existent it feels like on the social networking side of things or maybe it's just the Right is obnoxiously loud. It's scary man, if they can mobilize and weaponize the younger demographic voters then what does that spell for the short term (2028) or even the longer term when their ideals are fully cemented and are less likely to be swayed unless a serious upheaval happens.

I just can't believe the left's strategy of being holier than thou Karens that ain't half as smart as they think they are, and covering that with moral outrage meant to dissuade anyone from thinking too critically, has backfired.

Tucker Carlson is like Ted Cruz or Ron DeSantis; they can be propped up by right-wing propaganda but when it comes down to actually needing to deal with people they are so fundamentally and viscerally unlikable that they can't win anything outside of safe Republican spaces.

Even the people who like Tucker Carlson's shtick don't like Tucker Carlson.

Useful idiot

Tucker Carlson remains dedicated to "both sides"ing even to the point of giving a soft ball interview to a dictator.

That's remarkably charitable. I'd say he's committed to serving the side of evil enough to softball a dictator.

People say I'm a generous person - though I'll happily admit I can no longer even read that asshats name with hearing Seth Meyer's impression in my head. Ma Boi TC got that perfect JAQing off voice.

"The former TV presenter said that it would be posted on his website. **He also noted that Elon Musk had promised not to block this interview with Putin on X (Twitter)." **

Of course he will; they coordinated this together. Now I'm not claiming I have proof of this, but tell me this doesn't smell 97% probable.

Musk just wants to end the war sob. Won't anyone think of the children dictators. /s

His only problem is that he cares too much 😭

The “interview” is just cover.

My bet is Putin is vetting Tucker Carlson for Trump’s running mate.

Once Tucker kisses the ring, and likely commits a crime (or other misdeeds) on Putin’s orders (to serve as puppet-string kompromat for Putin’s plans), Putin will give the blessing for Trump to announce Tucker Carlson as his VP running mate.

Then, just imagine a 2028 Presidential bid from Tucker (win or lose in ‘24)…

the keywest butt tickler for president ?
I dunno man, that guy is walking,talking garbage.

so yeah, he's a shoe in for this country. crap.

Maybe Zelenskyy can agree and put him in jail until the war is over.

Wouldn't be the first journalist.

You need integrity and credibility to be a journalist.

I agree. Can you link anything wich would show him not having those?

His entire fox news career??

Please be more specific. Not only is it not possbile for me to go his entire fox news career. I doubt i'd find something at that scope.

You probably won't accept this because it's leftie-liberal John Oliver, but here you go.

But seriously, if you can't tell what kind of a person Tucker is just by watching his own programs... Idk what to tell you.

Anyone with half a brain understands that he's a soulless hack bought and paid for by Russia.

What's your excuse?

Maybe while travelling from Russia to Ukraine, he'll become a casualty of a genocidal invasion he supports.

Inb4 Tucker Carlson dies in the next few weeks, and everyone in close contact with him suffers serious illness, all in an attempt to get at Zelenski.

Check your underwear, Carlson, that's more of a risk to you than any window.

Think Carlson will put a GPS in his ass so Putin can get coordinates on Zelenskyy?

That's what Carlson heard them say, but he didn't see what it was they put up there forcefully and repeatedly.

Are you suggesting he will randomly autodefenestrate himself?

I think the implication is that the tea might have been glowing. No window required.

Ya, I know. I just really wanted to use that word somehow.

I think it was a great use of the word! Anybody seeking to expand their vocabulary is top shelf in my book.

I just think that spicy tea would help to spread the death a bit better.

Well, he is probably trying to get Putin to invade Canada, because he couldn't get the US to do it.

I know it would probably start world war 3 but it might be worth it to just bomb Moscow. He's that much of a tit.

Strike at Kremlin, the rest of Moscovites will be happy to help

Frost vs Nixon moment if he wants to be remembered forever.
