Critics from the left, particularly the Daily Beast, have not held back in their assessment of Carlson’s latest media venture. They highlight the show’s reliance on recycled content from Carlson’s appearances on platforms like X and his own website. The most recent episode features Carlson discussing the controversial theory of Lyme disease being used as a “bioweapon,” described under the provocative chyron “ticks—nuclear weapons for the poor.”
The program’s content also includes clips where Carlson expresses admiration for Russia, criticizes Ukraine, and aligns with Putin’s perspectives, especially regarding the ongoing conflict. These stances have not only amplified his voice within Russian media but also resulted in his inclusion in a Ukrainian database of adversaries.
During a February visit to the Kremlin, Carlson openly criticized the U.S. media’s portrayal of the Ukrainian conflict, accusing mainstream outlets of supporting what he considers to be warmongering efforts by both political parties in the U.S.
An interesting element of Carlson’s interactions with Russian media came to light during his comprehensive interview with Putin, where the Russian leader discussed the alleged sabotage of a Russo-German oil pipeline in 2022. Putin’s comments hinted at the involvement of powerful entities capable of executing such an operation, emphasizing the need to consider both motive and capability in such scenarios.

Putin himself expressed surprise at Carlson’s approach during the interview, expecting more confrontational questioning. “To be honest, I thought he would be more aggressive and ask tough questions,” Putin remarked, suggesting that a more assertive approach would have allowed him to clarify his positions more pointedly. “But he chose a different tactic.”
As Tucker Carlson’s show takes off on Russian airwaves, it continues to stir debate and draw attention, both domestically and internationally. Whether this move will alter his standing among his American audience remains to be seen, but it certainly underscores his influence and the complex dynamics of international media today.
