so then what's the point? it was just a platform for putin to speak and using a western journalist to somehow legitimize it.
i don't know what canada's elections have to do with this topic.
The purpose was for Tucker to raise his own profile. He's running a business now and views/listens/clicks/subscriptions = dollars.

yeah, i get that but even with low expectations to begin with, it shuld have had a little more substance.

So he shouldnt get to speak? We should just take msm programming as truth? Never listen to the other side? What about making our minds up for ourselves?
of course he gets to speak but like i said, he's already mentioned all that on russian media.
the questions i posed don't have anything to do with msm programming. for example it's a fact that russia has/had mobilizations to include prisoners, hundreds of thousands of their best and brightest left the country at the start of the war, the prigozhin mutiny thing, the insane amount of censorship in russia now, and on and on. all that has zero to do with programming and i would have loved to have heard putin's responses on these incidents.
you didn't really hear the other side during this "interview".

tucker is worth 400 million. I think he would actually rather just go fishing. Obviously he has a business to run and making money is the main directive but part of me also thinks he likes doing the right thing for the world


Putins yahct is 200 million. Tucker has a ways to go yet before hes really made it..

I honestly watched this for about 35 minutes and then scrolled down and seen I can watch segments, just skimmed through a few, then realized I really need to make some time to watch this entire thing which I will. Reuters has already commented about this, its hitting the news all over, well certain ones. This guy is more than been genuine and sincere in this video and its 100% worth the watch.

Good idea Ron, i still feel like the first 45 minutes of his history lesson was not really worth it. People commenting when they never watch any of it is crazy.

i edited my response.
i'd also add the freezing russians and their crumbling infrastructure b/c money is being spent on the war.
the brain drain of all the educated types that left when the war started
those are a few questions without even thingking too hard about it.
the "interview" was a failure for anyone looking for some answers to hard questions.
war crime allegations
the interview was about Ukraine, why, when, who,what. nothing more, and if Putin was willing to talk peace! it opens the conversation for future interview, Putin was cautious in what he said, who wouldn't be!

i thought it was rather boring the 1st half, more informative last half, what i really found interesting was that Putin was open to talks with D Trump. very telling indeed. we can only hope Tru-d holds his breath till he has talk with putin? lol.

the world's reporters covering the lines at various entry/exit points at the russian border. all well documented and on video.
are you saying the prigozhin thing didn't happen?
the censorship in russia is easily verifiable as they are official decrees by the russian gov't, anyone can look it up.

You could ask all kinds of chit if he was going to sit there for 8 hours or something.


I dont think putin signed up for an interrogation though.
exactly! there was a agenda that was agreed upon, thus the history lesson in first half, loved the 1 finger salute to Tru-d, and pretty much same to Sleepy Joe, willingness to talk to Trump. TC may have changed the world of Journalism in my view. Look at all the nay sayers showing up! luv it!

that's right he had a golden opportunity and only for two hours and it was a joke. putin has already said all those same things on russian media which is accessible by anyone.
again though, i'm betting tucker was told exactly how this would go. that's how dictators operate.
you are kidding right? the interview direction and questions were agreed upon way before Recording, otherwise no interview. what it does is open up possible further interviews. this from Putins perpective lets him guage what TC is up to in a controlled interview before he will go further! interesting comments on Tru-d and Sleepy Joe. and seems like a mutual respect for D trump. hopefully they can get to a meeting to stop this crazy Nazi ukraine regime! befoe sleepy Joe pushes the wrong button!

150 million views in just over 12 hours, most watched video on X of all time.

He knows how to get an audience. Seems to be the way of all media these days, the more controversial the topic the more the video earns.

I still beleive Tuckers only reason for going there was to try and get Puting to agree to put wall street journal reporter on the return flight with Tucker. It was a nice try, a bit of a cheap shot though.

i tend to agree, i'm also thinking he just changed Journalism forever! so far 150 million views, the best MSM could get was 1.7 million views.
