tucker carlson The former British Prime Minister said on Tuesday: boris johnsonAn ardent supporter of defending Ukraine against Russian aggression, he agreed to an interview about it with a former Fox News host for $1 million.
Carlson gave his first interview after visiting Russia – and his controversial interview with the president Vladimir Putin – Denies to Glenn Beck on Blaze TV that he supports a dictatorship. At the same time, Mr. Carlson called the defense of Ukraine against the Russian invasion a “shake-up” and “money laundering scheme” and accused Mr. Johnson of being one of Ukraine’s many profiteers.
“So I come to Moscow and I’m waiting to do this interview, and it gets discovered that we’re doing an interview, and I’m immediately denounced by this guy called Boris Johnson.” said Carlson. “And Boris Johnson is calling me a ‘Kremlin stooge’ or something…so I put in an interview request. [Johnson]Because he always criticizes me. ”
Tucker: “Boris Johnson is calling me a Kremlin stooge or something. So I requested a meeting with Boris Johnson. Eventually one of his advisers contacted me and said, I’m going to talk to him, but he said it would cost “$1 million.” He wants $1 million. ” pic.twitter.com/Y7qADbx2H4

Carlson said the answer was always “no.” But he is friends with many people who know the architects of Brexit, so after returning from a trip to Moscow he reached out to further strengthen his demands.
“Finally, my advisor contacted me and said, ‘He’s going to talk to you, but it’s going to cost $1 million.'” He wanted $1 million, gold and Bitcoin. “But this just happened yesterday or two days ago!” Carlson said to Beck, who looked incredulous. “Then he will explain his position on Ukraine. So he will attack me, of course, without explaining how I am wrong or how he is right. By the way, this is the same guy who canceled the Ukraine peace deal a year and a half ago at the request of the US government, and is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people because of it. ”
Carlson said in disbelief as Beck giggled.
“I said, ‘I just interviewed Vladimir Putin — I’m not defending him, but [he] I’m not asking for a million dollars! ” So you’re trying to tell me that Boris Johnson is far more despicable and far lower than Vladimir Putin. So this whole thing is a hell of a shakedown. ”
By “this whole thing,” Mr. Tucker seems to mean Western support for Ukraine’s defense against invasion, raising questions about the merits of further spending.
“Why $60 billion? [It’s] We will not allow Ukraine to defeat Russia. No one can honestly say it will work,” Carlson said. “This is a money laundering operation and many of those involved are making money off of this. If you’re making money off of war, deal with God for that. Because it’s really immoral. It’s actually really, really wrong. A lot of people are, including Boris Johnson.”
A message sent to the current prime minister’s office on Tuesday was not immediately returned.
