Tucker Carlson’s trip to Russia came as a shock to many, except for the Russian propagandists who have been lobbying for the fulfillment of his long-standing wish to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin. In recent years, the head of RT Margarita Simonyan pleaded with the Kremlin to make appropriate arrangements, and state TV host Vladimir Solovyov offered Carlson a job on his channel, Solovyov Live. Like many Putin propagandists, Simonyan realized that Carlson’s softball sit-down with Putin would be even more of a propaganda boon than his pro-Russian, anti-Ukrainian, and borderline anti-American rhetoric over the years.
While Solovyov had to settle for Scott Ritter, it seems like Simonyan may have finally got her wish. State media reported that Carlson’s minivan, full of TV equipment, had left his hotel and traveled to the presidential administration Monday evening. During the same timeframe, Putin’s motorcade reportedly traveled towards the Kremlin.

I'll wait for the interview before opining about the effect of it.
With eyes wide open, I’m sure it’ll be a good interview.
The Daily Beast? Does FR have no standards anymore?
Yes, the Daily Beast is a left wing rag. However, I am glad of the post. It allows us to see what the enemy is thinking and doing.
Those who dare listen to what Putin says will find out they agree with him on everything he says except why he went to war in Ukraine. Zeepers have much, much more in common with Putin’s conservative values than those of the oligarchs running DC.
Exactly. Know your enemy.
Oh l doubt that what the other side us thinking is any mystery. In fact, You cannot avoid it.
Do the words “Know thy enemy” mean anything to you?
I shall listen with a skeptical ear to anything Darth Putin has to say (even though I trust his "family values" over Biden's). This is because I observe that Putin has an almost unquenchable appetite for other people's countries.
Tucker I trust, so this will be interesting.
Oh nonsense.
Putin is a liar, and he’s evil, but he’s smart. He’ll poke some holes in the narrative.
Putin Derangement Syndrome rears its ugly head.
The Daily Beast. LOL!
I can guarantee The interview with Putin will be shocking because he is not a vegetable like Biden.
Isn’t it just amazing how Putin can manipulate US elections with just a few facebook ads, seemingly put Donald Trump in his pocket, successfully manipulate the world’s opinion of “climate change,” destroy US Democracy with one interview, potentially invade and conquer Europe?
Why if we believe the zeeper/neocon propaganda - the man is clearly some kind of all-powerful god
Pardon you. You are not allowed to say Putin is smart. That makes you a Putinista. /s
The fact that the left is losing their ever-loving minds about this makes me want to watch this even more.
My point is we can draw the line at posting crap from The Daily Beast.
I know nothing about the interview Tucker will have with Putin, but perhaps one way it might ‘blow up’ the U.S. election will be the obvious contrast between Putin and Brandon. Putin will likely be able to speak in complete, coherent sentences for seconds at a time.
