Tucker Carlson on X : « Why I'm interviewing Vladimir Putin »

Transcript

00:00 We're in Moscow tonight.

00:01 We're here to interview the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin.

00:04 We'll be doing that soon.

00:06 There are risks to conducting an interview like this, obviously.

00:10 So we've thought about it carefully over many months.

00:13 Here's why we're doing it.

00:14 First, because it's our job.

00:16 We're in journalism.

00:18 Our duty is to inform people.

00:20 Two years into a war that's reshaping the entire world, most Americans are not informed.

00:26 They have no real idea what's happening in this region, here in Russia or 600 miles away

00:31 in Ukraine.

00:33 But they should know.

00:34 They're paying for much of it in ways they might not fully yet perceive.

00:39 The war in Ukraine is a human disaster.

00:42 It's left hundreds of thousands of people dead, an entire generation of young Ukrainians,

00:47 and it's depopulated the largest country in Europe.

00:51 But the long-term effects are even more profound.

00:54 This war has utterly reshaped the global military and trade alliances.

00:59 And the sanctions that followed have as well.

01:02 And in total, they have upended the world economy.

01:05 The post-World War II economic order, the system that guaranteed prosperity in the West

01:10 for more than 80 years, is coming apart very fast, and along with it, the dominance of

01:15 the U.S. dollar.

01:16 These are not small changes.

01:18 They are history-altering developments.

01:21 They will define the lives of our grandchildren.

01:24 Most of the world understands this perfectly well.

01:25 They can see it.

01:26 Ask anyone in Asia or the Middle East what the future looks like.

01:31 And yet the populations of the English-speaking countries seem mostly unaware.

01:35 They think that as nothing has really changed.

01:37 And they think that because no one has told them the truth.

01:42 Their media outlets are corrupt.

01:44 They lie to their readers and viewers.

01:46 And they do that mostly by omission.

01:49 For example, since the day the war in Ukraine began, American media outlets have spoken

01:53 to scores of people from Ukraine, and they have done scores of interviews with Ukrainian

01:59 President Zelensky.

02:00 We ourselves have put in a request for an interview with Zelensky, and we hope he accepts.

02:05 But the interviews he's already done in the United States are not traditional interviews.

02:09 They are fawning pep sessions specifically designed to amplify Zelensky's demand that

02:14 the U.S. enter more deeply into a war in Eastern Europe and pay for it.

02:19 That is not journalism.

02:20 It is government propaganda.

02:23 Propaganda of the ugliest kind.

02:24 The kind that kills people.

02:26 At the same time our politicians and media outlets have been doing this, promoting a

02:31 foreign leader like he's a new consumer brand, not a single Western journalist has bothered

02:35 to interview the president of the other country involved in this conflict, Vladimir Putin.

02:41 Most Americans have no idea why Putin invaded Ukraine, or what his goals are now.

02:45 They've never heard his voice.

02:47 That's wrong.

02:49 Americans have a right to know all they can about a war they're implicated in.

02:53 And we have the right to tell them about it, because we are Americans too.

02:57 Freedom of speech is our birthright.

02:59 We were born with the right to say what we believe.

03:02 That right cannot be taken away no matter who is in the White House.

03:06 But they're trying anyway.

03:08 Almost three years ago, the Biden administration illegally spied on our text messages and then

03:12 leaked the contents to their servants in the news media.

03:15 They did this in order to stop a Putin interview that we were planning.

03:19 Last month we're pretty certain they did exactly the same thing once again.

03:23 But this time we came to Moscow anyway.

03:26 We are not here because we love Vladimir Putin.

03:29 We are here because we love the United States.

03:32 We want it to remain prosperous and free.

03:36 We paid for this trip ourselves.

03:37 We took no money from any government or group.

03:39 Nor are we charging people to see the interview.

03:41 It is not behind a paywall.

03:44 Anyone can watch the entire thing, shot live to tape and unedited, on our website, tuckercarlson.com.

03:51 Elon Musk, to his great credit, has promised not to suppress or block this interview once

03:55 we post it on his platform, X.

03:57 And we're grateful for that.

03:59 Western governments, by contrast, will certainly do their best to censor this video on other

04:04 less principled platforms because that's what they do.

04:08 They are afraid of information they can't control.

04:11 But you have no reason to be afraid of it.

04:13 We are not encouraging you to agree with what Putin may say in this interview.

04:18 But we are urging you to watch it.

04:20 You should know as much as you can.

04:22 And then, like a free citizen and not a slave, you can decide for yourself.

04:27 Thanks.
