Tucker Carlson traveled to Russia back in February for an interview with President Vladimir Putin--a trip that sent Western progressives into a meltdown. Now, the former Fox News host is back, and in a short video released Tuesday he explained why.
“We are, unbeknownst to most Americans, in a hot war with Russia. An undeclared war you did not vote for and that most Americans don’t want but is ongoing,” Carlson said, criticizing the Biden-Harris administration allowing Ukraine to use US-made weapons within Russian territory, bringing America “closer to nuclear war than any time in history.”
Carlson revealed that no figure in the Biden administration is even speaking to Russian counterparts, and it has thwarted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from sitting down for an interview with him, though the government says it’s fine for Zelensky to talk with CNN and other media outlets—just not Carlson.
In the video, he explains his team came back to Russia to interview its foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov.
“Are we headed toward an unprecedented conflict between Russia and the United States?” Carlson wondered, discussing some of the topics the two covered.
“Is there any way to peel Russia back from the East, from the sphere of [influence of] China, back into the West? Is that alliance permanent?” he continued. “Does the election of Donald Trump mean an end to this war?... Is that possible?”

The 1.5-hour interview is coming in the next few days, Lavrov’s spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
