Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin for over two hours, discussing topics such as the war in Ukraine and the imprisonment of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich. Here is a rundown of everything we learned from the conservative commentator’s controversial interview.
You show up on Russian soil, you leave with a rifle in your hand.
Will really gab your ear off if you give him an hour or so.
Awkward end to interview as the Russian leader asks if he can get a lift back to the Kremlin in Carlson’s rental car.
Not once during the interview did Putin call on his bodyguards to rough up Carlson, despite the host’s incredibly annoying demeanor.
Did this happen recently? Did we just not notice? We always still pictured him with that bow tie on, and it never occurred to us that he had stopped wearing one.
Much of his content is locked behind a paywall.
So don’t waste your time watching.
Wearing a My Favorite Murder–branded infinity scarf and repeatedly demanding to see Ashley Flowers, Putin was eager to talk through his three-ring binder full of information on the JonBenét Ramsey case.
He totally shines in small-group settings!
This wasn’t addressed in the interview, or at least not in the 20 minutes we managed to get through.
His dancing during the bridge of his first number wasn’t bad either.
The former Fox news reporter was clearly scared to ask the hard questions.
Just call him “very smart” in public, and he’ll turn his whole business empire over to you without question.
They’re both trying to get through this little thing we call life.

Putin used the interview to break the blessed news that his nation was expecting twins in July.
Why? No reason.
