Again, I would like to point out at this point that after Tucker's absolutely sycophantic interview with Vladimir Putin — and, again, I don't blame Tucker for letting Putin talk for a very long time. At the time, if you go back and listen to what I said, you know what? I can't judge Tucker's motives. I'm not sure why he's doing what he's doing.
I think his motives have become rather clearer over time, which is that he's quite fond of regimes that do not like the United States. He seems to be quite fond of those. And I think that's because he has a view of the United States that is rooted in idea that America has essentially perverted herself since World War II. That is something that he has suggested openly multiple times on his pro — whatever the rationale, what he is doing is very clear. I mean, right after that interview with Vladimir Putin, he did another interview. This one, I believe, in Dubai, in which he was asked why he didn't ask Vladimir Putin about tossing people out of third story windows. And he said, well, listen. Every leader kills people. They all kill people.
