Tucker Carlson Takes On Critics of His Interview with Putin | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 210

Tucker Carlson just did something that no other Western journalist in the world has been either willing or able to do in a very long time. He traveled to Moscow to speak to Russian President Vladimir Putin. And right on cue, the media accused him of being a Putin lover, critics advocated for banning him from returning home, and the EU even debated sanctioning him. Suddenly, journalism became a crime in the eyes of other journalists. So Glenn sits down with Tucker to do what his critics have refused to: get his side of the story. Why did he go to Russia? What did take away from his interview? How did he feel sitting across from a man who could have him killed? In his first U.S. interview since returning from Russia, Tucker tells the shocking story of his second attempt to land this interview and why he believes the NSA tried to stop it yet again, as well as the disturbing story of when he asked former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson for a similar interview. Tucker further explains why he believes NATO is “an offense against our sovereignty” and where he stands on the war in Ukraine. Glenn also asks Tucker to respond to criticisms from his own side: Why did he praise Moscow’s subway system and grocery stores? Is he advocating for an authoritarian leader in America? Does he still believe returning to the Constitution is America's only hope? "It's not like you have to be a fascist to have an orderly society," Tucker tells Glenn. "We HAD one." Tucker also addresses the reactions to his recent podcast with former State Department official Mike Benz.

I am 71 years old. Born in the U.S. It was never like it is today. It was cleaner. People were more respectful. We had the drug problems from the 60's but not like today. We didn't have homeless people on the streets because we had state facilities. We did not have the sex trafficking or drug trafficking. Nor did we have school shootings, public shootings. We did not have chronic diabetes, heart problems, low birth rates, autism, it goes on and on today. The government cared about having U.S. jobs. We were going in the right direction. We kicked out God, and the country went into a landslide.

The more I watch interviews with people who left the corporate mainstream news, the more I understand what's truly going on. 💯 to Glenn 💯 to Tucker❗️

[brianjones]

Not only America but the whole world needs the voices of Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson !!

[maggietattersfield]

Tuckers interview with Putin was the most courageous and interesting interviews I have watched. Well done Tucker! ❤️

[JaneJustus-up]

Praying for you Tucker, and Glenn always.

Tucker is 100% right. I am 73 years old and lived through many years of safe, clean, wonderful years. It is a sin to let all of our cities go to hell like it is. I live in a suburb in Georgia that is still kept up and safe but I fear that this madness will spread everywhere!

[LOVEIDUSA]

Well said Glenn, Tucker Carlson will be known as a major person in the history of our USA. Enjoyed the interview.

Why is true journalism a crime to journalists today? TRUTH!

[SnowLady_]

I could have listened, to Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson, for hours and hours. Great show!

[deerogerson]

These men are what EVERYONE should be listening to.

[rlmcer]

Thank you Tucker for using your craft and your love of our country, to stand up against those in power and challenge the rest of us to speak out and not be satisfied with where this country is going. Your passion resonates with me and so many others of our generation who want a better America for our children and grandchildren.

Tucker and Glenn Beck are some of the only journalists left who are willing to tell the truth.

[toddsalkowski]

I live 25 minutes north of Baltimore. I would NOT DARE go into that filthy cesspool of a city. Tucker is right on about the decline of American cities.

[steveguti]

Urgent emergency please join me in prayer for all army veterans police firefighters and people who help the public daily they desperately need your prayers please pray for them God bless you all....

[chibuzornwankwo]

Tucker’s really earned my respect and admiration ☝🏿

[Cutterscorner]

Oliver Stone spent SIX HOURS interviewing Putin. He also did Ukraine on Fire which explains Ukraine and predicted what the US would do. Putin has written letters to the American people printed in mainstream newspapers. Putin is sick of saying the same thing over and over. Given that, Tucker did a GREAT job. Putin has NEVER named names or specified the CIA. Kudos to Tucker.

People saying that it was a softball interview but if you've watched Tucker ever since he's left Fox, his style is to ask a question and let the guest talk, you find out more from letting the guest talk then interrupting them constantly

[Tonylupo]

I enjoyed this interview. Thanks to both of you for what you do. In listening to Vladimir Putin extensively over the years (Oliver Stone interviews, his speeches, Tucker’s interview…) what I hear consistently is that he’s seeking common ground. He unapologetically doesn’t want to be influenced by western culture, but he’s always open to collaborations in areas where common ground can be found. The west’s position more often than not is “you’re either with us, or against us!”

[LaurelMartinson]

I keep relistening to this, and every time more sticks out to me. It's just such a frank, good conversation. Thank you.

Great interview Glenn. 👍 Thank you so much for interviewing this young man. I'm 74 and I take great interest in the fact that Tucker is a natural born Hero in my mind in that he has the moral fortitude to bring many young minds to the light, and informed side of how life used to be here in America. He sets a great example for our Youth and for many Adults too who may have gotten lost by focusing, or being lead to focus, on the wrong things for America. There is hope for Pride in our Country. Great interview!
