The speaker discusses Tucker Carlson, describing him as a "useful idiot" who spreads false information and echoes Vladimir Putin's lies about Ukraine.

Speaker 0: I mean, he's like a puppy dog. You know? He somehow has after having been fired from so many outlets in the United States, he, I would not be surprised, if he emerges with a contract with outlet because he is a useful idiot. He says things that are not true. He parrots Vladimir Putin's, pack of lies about Ukraine.
So I don't see why Putin wouldn't give him an interview because through him, he can, you know, continue to lie about what his, you know, objectives are in Ukraine and and, you know, what he expects to see happen. It's really quite sad that not just somebody like Tucker Carlson who has, as I said, been fired so many times because he seems unable to, you know, correlate his reporting with the truth. But also because it's a sign that there are people in this country right now who are like a 5th column for Vladimir Putin. And why? I don't know.
