I get notifications here all the time but this one I needed to give my undivided attention to and I know you are very well excited by that.

Tucker Carlson is an idiot but the interview itself is very interesting as we (public) lack context and appearance from Putin. There is a sensationalism around Putin because of this lack of public opinion or direction as citizens outside of Russia.

On the question for Tucker Carlson on how he organized it, I am very interested too. It is not easy to sit down with any leader in the world and especially Putin in what is a war-time Russia. I am interested in seeing if he can also sit down with Biden but afraid of his mental acuity that is in question all the time and with the administrations current policies they may not allow for any long and meaningful conversation. I'll follow this topic if anyone finds an answer as to how this was organized. Its sad that as of late Google searching something often will not help in finding the answers you want.

I thank the both of you for your patience and understanding as always, few places let you even discuss politics much less anything of dismay.

There also has to be more to say than just that, what did you think was interesting?

Opinions on Tucker Carlson vary widely, reflecting the political polarization and diversity of perspectives in contemporary American society. Here are some common thoughts and opinions about him:

• Admiration and Support: Many conservatives and right-leaning individuals admire Tucker Carlson for his boldness in challenging mainstream narratives, his willingness to speak out on controversial issues, and his unapologetic defense of conservative principles. They appreciate his confrontational interviewing style and see him as a voice for their concerns in the media landscape.

• Criticism and Disapproval: On the other hand, Carlson has garnered significant criticism from liberals, progressives, and some centrists. They argue that his commentary is often inflammatory, divisive, and factually inaccurate. Critics accuse him of promoting conspiracy theories, spreading misinformation, and using fearmongering tactics to advance his political agenda. They also condemn his perceived tolerance or amplification of extremist views.

• Polarizing Figure: Tucker Carlson's outspokenness and controversial viewpoints make him a polarizing figure in American media and politics. While some viewers appreciate his willingness to challenge the status quo and speak truth to power, others find his rhetoric offensive, harmful, or dangerous. His tendency to engage in heated debates and fiery exchanges with guests has led to both praise and condemnation.

• Media Influence: Regardless of one's opinion of him, there is little doubt that Tucker Carlson wields significant influence in American media and politics. As the host of one of the highest-rated programs on cable news, he reaches millions of viewers each night and shapes public opinion on a wide range of issues. His commentary and analysis often drive conversations in political circles and beyond, making him a key figure in shaping the national discourse.

• Complexity and Nuance: Some observers recognize the complexity and nuance of Tucker Carlson's persona and viewpoints. They acknowledge that while he may hold views that are objectionable to some, he also raises legitimate concerns about issues such as income inequality, corporate power, and the erosion of traditional values. They argue that dismissing him outright overlooks the legitimate grievances of many Americans who feel marginalized or left behind by mainstream politics and media.

In summary, opinions on Tucker Carlson reflect the broader ideological divisions and cultural tensions in American society. While he has passionate supporters who admire his outspokenness and conservative advocacy, he also faces fierce criticism from those who view his commentary as harmful or irresponsible. Ultimately, how one views Tucker Carlson often depends on their political beliefs, values, and priorities.

Taking this all into account its actually a very well done interview. The opportunity to also do it in Moscow and with Putin really signifies a key point in history and again the value of news overall. While I don't know how he did it I can say with certainty our own President would struggle to recount history or answer meaningfully to some of the same questions.
