Tucker's Interview With Putin
I’ve been asked to do an episode on the interview, but I don’t really think there’s much there.
I will list my takeaways from the interview because I do believe Putin is the most important world leader at the moment.
Can you imagine any of the last five presidents giving a detailed history of America without notes the way Putin recalled Russia’s history? US history is a fraction of the size of Russian history, and I doubt Biden, Obama, or Trump could lay out the details of the Spanish-American War, where the US acquired Puerto Rico and Guam.
The regime journalists, who for over 2 years now have been trying to convince people that Putin is sick or is suffering dementia, got blown the fuck out. He may be suffering from a physical ailment he was able to hide, but his mind is just fine.
Interviews that require interpreters are tedious at best. The delay allows both parties to gather their thoughts longer than they normally would and negates emotional responses that are more common.
Tucker was out of his league. I would have paid to see John Mearsheimer be the interviewer instead of Tucker.
There is no reason for an episode on this. Don't waste your time - do what you do best. You've been killing it lately so your instincts are good
For all the talk I hear coming from the Jews about how Palestine is actually their land, because it goes back thousands of years, Vladimir Putin did an excellent job of explaining HIS claim on Ukraine as it also goes back 1500 years. I enjoyed the interview and the history lesson. Whatever one may come away with, whether or not someone finds Putin's claims credible or not, a couple of things are undeniable: He is a very serious statesman who does not speak in campaign slogan euphemisms. He knows and loves his country, history and people, and has no patience for people who do not take their political duties as serious as he does. I actually found Tucker to be a bit rude as he kept cutting him off and asking about this history lesson. Maybe it is because Tucker is used to dealing with simple minded American politicians who speak in moronic slogans or just filibuster with nonsense. Whatever may be said, we got a window into the East and the Eastern mind and they have eclipsed the West in being a civilization which desires another 1000 years of flourishing.
Putin is just a joy to listen to as a man of his people. He is no clown. If you are interested, head to the Kremlin's main website and check out his talks, from the Valdai Conference (his annual economic meeting with partner nations) to just various other issues within the country.
