"Tucker Carlson's Controversial Interview with Putin Sparks Debate on Media Influence"

Tucker Carlson criticized Vladimir Putin's justification for invading Ukraine, calling the "denazification" claim "one of the dumbest things" he'd ever heard. Carlson discussed his controversial interview with Putin, stating that he found the Russian president "nervous" and over-prepared. He dismissed the notion of a Nazi movement in 2024 and accused it of being a way to associate people with evil. Putin, in turn, complained about Carlson's behavior during the interview and mocked his unsuccessful attempts to join the CIA.
