Tucker Carlson, after interviewing Vladimir Putin, criticized President Biden’s leadership, stating that life expectancy in the U.S. has decreased under his administration.
Carlson also praised Moscow’s development, contrasting it with American cities.
He emphasized that his comments were factual, not political.
Tucker Carlson says Vladimir Putin is a far more accomplished leader than Joe Biden:

Carlson said, “If this were boxing, the fight would be called by the medic.”
“And I say that as an American. I don’t have another passport. I don’t plan to ever leave my country. My family’s been there for hundreds of years. I am a patriotic American,” he continued.
“And I grieve when I see that the president is non compos mentis, and that in my country, it is considered very rude to say that,” explained Carlson.
Putin just spoke to Tucker Carlson for two hours on Russian history, the war in Ukraine, and major geopolitical shifts. All unscripted.
Biden just confused the president of Egypt as the president of Mexico.

Carlson added, “You sort of wonder, how did you get to a place where you have an incompetent president who’s driven not simply the standard of living, but life expectancy downward? And no one feels free to say that.”
He clarified that it was “not a political observation. It’s a statement of fact, which is provable empirically.”
“The most radicalizing thing I would say for me, in the eight days I spent in Moscow, was not simply the leader of the country. Of course, it’s impressive. It’s the largest land mass in the world and it’s wildly diverse, linguistically, culturally, religiously,” reflected Carlson.

“It’s hard to run a country like that for 24 years, whether you like it or not. So an incapable person couldn’t do that. He is very capable and many of you know him, and you know that,” he continued.
This sparked debate about Biden’s competence. Carlson’s remarks were shared on X.
“What was radicalizing, very shocking, very disturbing was the city of Moscow, where I’d never been, the biggest city in Europe, 13 million people. And it is so much nicer than any city in my country. I had no idea,” explained Carlson.
“My father spent a lot of time there in the ’80s when he worked for the U.S. government and it barely had electricity. And now it is so much cleaner, safer and prettier, aesthetically, its architecture, its food, its service, than any county — city — in the United States,” he said.
“How did that happen?” he asked.
“At a certain point, I don’t think the average person cares as much about abstractions as about the concrete reality of his life. And if you can’t use your subway, for example, as many people are afraid to do in New York City because it’s too dangerous, you have to sort of wonder, isn’t that the ultimate measure of leadership?” concluded Carlson.
