CNN’s Chris Wallace said last week that Tucker Carlson wasn’t a journalist. He wasn’t the only one. The talking point that Carlson was not only not a journalist, but a “useful idiot” serving the Kremlin like a “puppy” had gone out and the media took to the airwaves to broadcast the official message.
Carlson has been a journalist for decades. The idea that he isn’t a journalist now is as silly as saying I’m not an artist just because I’m writing this column instead of drawing pictures. Tucker is doing something interesting with his interviews, something I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. In a normal interview, if it’s a “softball” interview, the purpose is to make the subject look good. If it’s “hardball” (clearly what the US media wishes Carlson had done with Putin), the goal is to expose the subject in an embarrassing and damaging way. Carlson is doing something totally different.
Every one of Carlson’s recent interviews, those conducted after he was fired at Fox, are more like witness depositions than traditional reportage. If you’ve sat for a deposition or listened to one, you may think this is an exaggeration. However, Carlson is using the interviews to gather witness testimony against the globalist regime from fact witnesses who have been totally ignored by the press.
What did he get out of Putin? The CIA bombed the Nordstream pipelines, America’s propaganda is the most powerful in the world, The Ukraine war started in 2014 and was started by Ukrainians, not the Russians. This may be what Putin wanted to say, and in that sense, Carlson is helping Putin. The Biden administration and other nations do not want those things said, particularly not by someone in a position to know, because they counter the narrative that Putin is evil incarnate who bombed his own pipelines and started a devastating war.
If the Putin interview was the only interview he’d done, the current narrative about Carlson would be easier to understand. However, he has done many other interviews. The theme isn’t support for Putin, but criticism of globalism, corruption in politics around the world, and of communism.
Carlson interviewed Julian Assange. What does Assange know for a fact that no one else in American media could know? The identity of the person who leaked the Podesta emails. If it is Seth Rich as is suspected, the entire Russia collusion story regarding President Trump not only crumbles, but is exposed as a deliberate lie.
Here are some other subjects: Tara Reade, who can talk about her accusations against Biden; Javier Millei, the dangers of communism in Argentina; Viktor Orban, Globalism in Europe and a contrary voice on immigration and the Ukraine war; Tony Bobulinski, a fact witness regarding corruption allegations against Hunter and Joe Biden; Martin Shkreli, the destruction of a career because he refused to play politics with the regime; Andrew Tate on the importance of retaining our intrinsic strengths as men and women. Even barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy was worth a listen as he spoke about cancel culture.
Every person Carlson has interviewed in his new Tucker Carlson Network has been a fact witness of some kind against the current globalist regime. All were selected for what they know, the importance of their testimony, and how it undermines what we are told to believe by the media.
Bravo Tucker, one of the few real journalists in the world today.
Dr. Zark,
Thank you for giving voice to what many of us who follow Tucker know. He is unique, a type of genius that has figured out how to best those that believe with every fiber of their being the American people are idiots. Some of us are. But not for long.
People like yourself and Tucker are bringing US out of the darkness. I pray he is guided to interview you. Now THAT would be something!
I am grateful for the work you are doing on “our” behalf.
Many Blessings Sir.

Thank you! This is exactly what I have been trying to tell people since Tucker stepped back onto the airwaves. I often say that Trump is the "Peter" of our time for our country, and Tucker is our "Paul." May God send His mighty angels to protect them - to surround them and keep them safe!
