Tucker Carlson Interviews Putin [Full Summary]
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Tucker Carlson just had a historic
sitdown interview with Vladimir Putin
President of Russia here's everything
that you need to know a full summary of
everything that happened as quickly as
we can get through it first Tucker
starts by asking why do you think the US
might strike Russia Putin then goes into
a history of the invasions of the
Russian State referring to Mongol
invasions as The Horde and we sped all
the way from the 900s to the 1400s to
the 2000s
Tucker asked multiple times why is this
relevant today and Vladimir Putin made
it very clear that he wanted to see the
slow dismantling of Russia the pressure
of Russia from all angles which
essentially culminated in the war
against Ukraine today see Vladimir Putin
also distanced himself multiple times
from the past he distanced himself from
Lenin permitting Ukraine from become
from from leaving the USSR and becoming
Ukraine allowing the Bolsheviks to
establish their independence in Ukraine
he distanced himself from that he
distanced himself heavily and multiple
times from what he calls the
nazification we'll talk a lot about that
in this of society and he makes it very
clear that he would have made different
decisions and that he has one vision for
Putin and for Russia and that vision is
Unity but unfortunately he's essentially
watched over not only history but his
lifetime and the Russian either USSR or
the Soviet Union has collapsed and every
time there has been a collapse he
thought well maybe Russia will finally
be able to negotiate a generous and uh
beneficial relationship with other
organizations or countries he
specifically points out the 1991 Soviet
Union collapse where Russia generously
bestowed those are his words Ukraine to
other parts of the world and the
collapse so the Soviet Union was led by
poor Russian leaders but now those
leaders are gone we can expect
cooperation in fact there were even
people like Egon bar of the German s the
Social Democratic party uh where a new
system could be established without
expanding NATO and there could be some
kind of Alliance and so Putin really
dist him distan himself from what
happened and ideas that could have been
bars ideas a new system outside of NATO
was something that could have been but
those things didn't happen so this is
where things get interesting Putin talks
essentially about how NATO expanded five
times and this expansion is pressure
pressure on Russia this is on ec.com
where I have a full summary of the
entire interview but here you could see
a chart that shows you the expansion of
NATO towards Russian territory Vladimir
Putin says he's not bitter that this is
not about resentment this is instead
about the expanding power of NATO which
ultimately culminated in
2014 now we'll touch on 2014 in just a
moment but first consider the
partnership that Vladimir Putin and
George Bush almost had in August of 2007
Vladimir Putin made a counter offer to
George Bush on a planned US missile
Shield defense system a joint missile
defense program Bush himself and I have
my sources on this at ec.com called this
a very Innovative plan this was true we
fact checked this during the time of the
interview Putin suggested we can
drastically change the world if we work
together but then somehow the
president's underlings essentially
contributed to the deal falling apart
Vladimir Putin is basically alleging
here that Putin and him were good
friends or or got along at least and
that it's the system of America that
wants to keep Russia an enemy and it's
that pressure that oppresses Russia
the deal fell apart so Putin says we had
to go develop our own missiles our own
Hypersonic missiles he argues things got
worse when in 2008 the United States
backed separatists background on this
okay in 2008 Kosovo decided to declare
independence from Serbia Serbia was
being supported by Russia Kosovo was
being supported by the United States and
at a NATO Summit in Bucharest the United
States gave you Ukraine and Georgia the
country and now the state a membership
action plan to join NATO that obviously
pisses Putin off Putin says what's going
on Ukraine is supposed to be a neutral
State why weapons why NATO this is not
what we agreed to and then we get into
this slow growing support for the West
between 2005 and 2010 you have Victor
Yenko who supports the West but then
that flips into another president the
fourth President of Ukraine Victor
yanukovich who was president from 2010
to
2014 he was considered or at one point
was considering open borders with the
European Union and Vladimir Putin's like
what is this we don't want you to have
open borders with the European Union
because if you do that is going to lead
to a free flow of goods between you and
that is going to hurt our free market
economy so we would have to close our
border at some point things got tense
Victor yanukovich said fine I will
support Russia and as soon as he flips
to support Russia boom kudeta that is a
military overthrow of the presidency
Vladimir Putin alleges that this was
backed by the CIA he actually goes as
far as slamming Tucker Carlson for
wanting to join the CIA and then suggest
it was probably a good thing that Tucker
Carlson got denied that was really Sly
Tucker's face at that point was kind of
like bro you went there that was pretty
crazy but anyway Vladimir Putin then
says look we took Crimea in exchange
under our protection okay now obviously
that's not how the West calls it the
West says Russian forces occupied Crimea
to quell protests and then the Russian
government organized illegally is what
the West alleges the Republic of Crimea
and when the Republic of Crimea was
formed then the Republic declared
independence from Ukraine and Russia
annexed Crimea that's sort of their
story okay many countries today still
see Crimea as Ukrainian anyway and this
is also a very strategically important
location with the sea port sesta pool we
we don't have to go into all of that
it's important okay strategically
critically everything important so it's
kind of convenient but anyway Putin
suggests that the US backed the coup
that caused this in 2014 we then had War
breakout in Don in the daboss region uh
this was another phase in the Russia
Ukrainian war that came after this
Crimean takeover it started April 12th
of 2014 14,000 were killed uh that uh
that was about um 6,500 Russians 4,400
ukrainians 3,400 civilians so there have
been tensions and issues here for a
while Vladimir Putin said he's been
asking for decades please keep weapons
out of Ukraine we want peace in fact
we're going to offer peace and a peace
and come up with the Minsk agreements
that were negotiated and settled this
was the settlement that relaxed uh uh
attentions in Dawn boss and ended that
war however Vladimir Putin suggests that
zalinski little more zalinski refuses to
implement the Minsk Accords now Ukraine
has responded to this allegation I'm in
interjecting this Ukraine has responded
to those allegations and says Ukraine
has always been committed to
implementing Minsk it's actually Russia
who's not implementing the plan and
they're trying to make it worse by
sewing instability by not implementing
the plan Putin then immediately after I
take a little pause and suggest that
Ukraine is complaining that Russia is
not implementing the plan immediately
after Putin literally says VI ready to
implement it okay he didn't actually say
it that way cuz he says it through a
translator but he did literally say we
were ready to implement it which it kind
of means he didn't implement it so it
kind of means Ukraine was right about
that he so I'm like wait a minute so so
you didn't implement it there were a
couple instances like this through the
interview where Putin's kind of like
pooped on himself a little bit but some
of the things he said were actually very
interesting so let's keep going uh he
says that I believe if we managed to
bring the residents of Don boss back to
Ukraine these wounds would heal this is
a common theme of what Putin says he
actually thinks everybody's sort of just
one person that the UK Ukrainian people
are actually Russians at heart uh now of
course there have been Studies by for
example Pew research that suggest polish
individuals don't like Russia but
ukrainians you have a lot more of a mix
you know they say 94% of Polish
individuals don't like Russia or don't
support Russia but in Ukraine this
picture is much more uh uh mixed now why
is this not over yet when will the war
end Putin suggests we have to complete
the denazification
of Ukraine he talks about how this was
discussed in Istanbul and he also talks
about how he pulled out of Kiev his
military out of Kev uh as a Kev Kev
whatever as a way to negotiate but wait
a minute Western point of view here says
that Ukraine pushed Russia out Russia's
point of view is no we left as part of
the
negotiations Tucker then talks
densification Putin talks this is very
important it's worth noting that Ukraine
does have a history of collaborating
with Hitler of course okay there was a
lot of history between Hitler World War
I World War II Germany okay this
territory of course there's a lot of
history there and yes zalinsky is Jewish
yes 56 to 140,000 Jews live in Ukraine
and yes there are Ukrainian historical
figures that have monuments that have
tied Hitler now the greatest modern day
of nafic
that Putin alleges that uh uh that that
basically the world supports is that
zalinski visited Canada's parliament and
someone named
yaroslav hunka a 98-year-old former Nazi
gave a speech in Parliament that
individual worked for a part of the Nazi
party known as the
Vinz the SS this is one of the elite for
forces within the Nazi party in the Nazi
military Wing vaff means weapon okay so
the the weapon SS sh anyway this
occurred September 22nd of 2023 just a
few months ago this actually happened
what made it worse though was not just
that that person spoke in the Canadian
Parliament which is now being referred
to as a big Scandal but what made it
worse was the perception and this did
actually happen that everybody gave this
individual a two times standing
Ovation okay Putin then argues that he
hasn't spoken with Biden since prior to
his special military operation Tucker
says why don't you just call Biden and
work this out Putin says what's there to
work out okay this is very important I I
this like if there's anything y'all pay
attention to this line right here is
very very
important subscribe okay I had to do
that I'm sorry no what's actually this
is actually very important about what
Putin said Putin said if you want and
this is his point of view of negotiating
this becomes very relevant in a moment
Putin says if you want to stop fighting
stop supplying weapons then it will be
over in a few weeks then we can
negotiate okay okay okay wait a minute
wait a minute wait a minute wait a
minute Putin I got to throw an
interjection in here you just said we
are willing to negotiate but then you
say We'll negotiate after you stop
giving weapons after you stop fighting
then it will will be over in a few weeks
in other words you'll mop up what you
need to and then we can negotiate
obviously the United States is like bro
then we have no like to stand on in a
negotiation Ukraine as well European
union and otherwise right I want you to
keep in mind Putin's version of
negotiating this becomes very important
in just a moment anyway Tucker says is
NATO worried Putin says well that's what
they're saying you know NATO and the
United States are trying to paint this
picture that we are going to cause some
kind of nuclear war we're going to use
strategic nuclear weapons that would be
stupid we are not going to invade any
other territory unless they attack us we
would only send troops to Poland if they
attack us it's absolutely out of the
question it goes against common sense to
create some kind of global war because
that would be bad for Humanity this is
just how the West tries to extort more
money from their taxpayers American
mercenaries polish mercenaries should
not be in Ukraine if they brought troops
this would be a global conflict that's
Putin's argument he's not wrong there
has been a lot of War mongering he is
not wrong about that but you're ready
for Putin's slam on America this was
intense why is America so focused on the
on on Ukraine you have issues with the
Border you have issues with the national
debt you have $33 trillion in debt you
have migrant issues at the border have
you nothing better to do wouldn't it be
better better to just negotiate with
Russia and return to Common Sense and
respect our
country mic drop there that was a banger
okay Putin hit where it hurts Democrats
and Republicans can agree on that that
hurt Tucker then says who blew up the
nordstream pipeline Putin obviously says
you did Tucker says do you have evidence
and Putin says Ah look you just have to
connect the dots who is capable of
blowing up a pipeline at the bottom of
the Baltic Sea and who is interested and
he basically implies that that's the
United States Putin says it's very hard
to win in the war of propaganda because
the United States controls the media In
fairness and side note what we saw with
the Twitter files kind of says there's
some truth to that
anyway Putin then goes on to say that
there is another nordstream pipeline
that can be used fact check this is also
true four pipelines exist nordstream
pipeline 1 AB nordstream pipeline 2 2 a
pipe a of the nordstream 2 is inoperable
pipe B is undamaged and the nordstream 1
is offline damage Putin then gets into
the dollarization of the United States
he talks about essentially the United
States using the dollar as a weapon and
this being the biggest mistake of us
political leadership the dollar is a
Cornerstone of us power and by
weaponizing it you are weakening it okay
side note here yes the dollar will will
never stop being printed by the Federal
Reserve and essentially the US
government to strengthen whatever
desires the US government has yes we
will keep printing money we will keep
having inflation and for as long as
possible we will be the world's Reserve
currency until we become the you know
until there's basically a better option
maybe that's Bitcoin maybe that's brics
brics is uh Brazil Russia India China
South Africa maybe they could create
another common currency
Tucker here asks hey well what if brics
is then dominated by the Chinese Putin
responds to this and says uh we've heard
these Boogeyman stories before we're
neighbors with China you can't choose
your neighbors just like you can't
choose your relatives we share a border
of a th000 kilometers we have a
centuries long policy of partnership
China seeks compromise we can compromise
as well we can work with China it's very
interesting Putin here is drawing a
parallel he's basically saying look we
work with China why can't we work with
the United States Putin is not wrong
though about the us having a massive
advantage of the money printer this is
why on this channel I regularly talk
finance and how it's important for you
to get your money your cash into assets
ownership in business ownership in real
estate that's how you insulate yourself
from inflation and the destruction of
the dollar I don't really care what
assets you buy you just have to get into
assets that aren't dollars anyway okay
continuing with the topic so Putin says
the United States should actually
cooperate more with China now Putin also
alleges that the United stat United
Nations is an illegitimate body the USSR
joined the United Nations in 1945 the
Soviet Union in 1991 and it's worth
noting that the US tried to kick Russia
out of the UN but they weren't able to
now a lot of people wonder why is Russia
still in the United Nations okay well
remember Russia is a P5 member of the
United Nations security Council P5 means
permanent five who are the P5 China
France Russia United Kingdom United
States each have full veto power that's
why Russia stays in the United Nations
they stay in because they have power
full veto power one veto can overturn
whatever the UN Security Council wants
to do now China would probably Ally with
Russia anyway but Russia doesn't want to
give away its power Vladimir Putin then
gets into praising Bush and frankly
Trump He suggests that he had a
relationship with bush and Trump that
these were not country bumpkins well
Bush wasn't a country bumpkin then
instead none of these people are worse
than any other politician they know what
they're doing we had a relationship with
them it's not about demeanor it's about
the goal are you going to adapt or are
you trying to dominate Tucker then asks
implying that Biden is trying to
dominate by in instantly going to Biden
Tucker then suggests well who's actually
running the United States and Putin says
I have no idea it's not possible to know
this is a slam here clearly on Biden
it's a slam on Biden which there
planning going on with Biden it's a slam
on Biden to suggest that Biden's not
actually running America right now that
the underlings in the Biden
Administration are the ones actually
running the country potentially led by
people on boards that like locked Martin
or Boeing or whatever who are supporting
the military-industrial complex I don't
know those are allegations obviously
from some not everybody agrees with that
the flip side says whoa whoa whoa whoa
we're just spending money where we think
it will defend American lives okay
everybody has to make their own
conclusion on that anyway Vladimir Putin
gets into how we're he's constantly
pressured from all sides NATO expanding
the supplying of weapons is unacceptable
and ultimately we need to have a
negotiated solution He suggests that he
is willing to negotiate and he Dodges
the question of if he would be satisfied
with the territory that he has now it
might not necessarily have been a Dodge
though it might be because he just wants
less pressure on Russia He suggests that
he's just protecting ourselves he's
protecting the Russian motherland he
then gets in to talking about how
ultimately he thinks the Russians and
ukrainians will be United that there
will be a solution eventually and that
religion will bring everyone together
that religion is in your heart it's not
about banging your head against the
ground it's about what's in your heart
it's also Putin mentions this important
to question why would Orthodox churches
be shut down in Ukraine this is where
Putin is basically trying to Salt the uh
Ukrainian defense to argue like wait do
they actually want to unify are they
actually sincere in their negotiations
When Vladimir Putin is asked by Tucker
Carlson hey well what's it going to take
to negotiate Putin kind of gives up here
Putin says look we tried to negotiate we
initialed many parts of a deal in
Istanbul we withdrew from KF we've tried
to negotiate but Boris Johnson came in
and tore up the negotiated plan and told
Russia uh or told Ukraine not to sign
the deal we almost had a deal 18 months
ago and now it's evapor
who is supporting this is it the US is
it the United Kingdom we've been willing
to negotiate when you're ready to
negotiate you come to us that's how
Putin left off with negotia now to be
clear remember how I told you to
remember something very important
earlier when I told you to subscribe
okay Putin says you come to us when
you're ready to negotiate but Putin also
said in order to negotiate with me you
all have to stop fighting stop supplying
weapons and after a few weeks after we
end this presumably mop everything up
then we'll negotiate so I kind of got
two putins there I got the Putin that's
like yeah I'm ready to negotiate come
anytime I'm ready and then I got I'm not
ready to negotiate unless you basically
lose okay all right anyway there was a
little bit of talk about Elon Musk about
how Elon is a very smart man that uh you
know Putin heard he just implanted a
chip into some person's brain and that
genetics and AI are all going to be
really big risks in the future they'll
probably be regulated just like nuclear
weapons were because once people realize
there are threats to their own Humanity
they end up regulating it just like they
did with nukes they'll end up doing with
genetic engineering and they'll end up
doing with AI now Tucker Carlson pulled
a really 4D chess move towards the end
of the interview he said will you
release the jailed Wall Street Journal
reporter this was brilliant for two
reasons number one if he got the
reporter released Tucker cson would be a
national hero hero number two even if he
didn't get the reporter released he
tried and he tried hard that is a way of
warming up the mainstream media to like
Tucker Carlson because the mainstream
media does not want to see one of their
reporters in jail in Russia it's a
33-year-old named Evan he worked for the
Wall Street Journal still works for the
Wall Street Journal theoretically
presumably anyway Vladimir Putin says
this individual was not just a reporter
they conducted Espionage we caught the
individual red-handed and we'll probably
come up with some kind of solution and
it'll be win-win for everybody but we're
not there yet okay there you go that is
