塔克·卡尔森（Tucker Carlson），1969年5月16日生于美国加利福尼亚州旧金山， 美国福克斯原主持人。他2009年加入福克斯新闻，2023年4月24日与福克斯新闻网上声明分道扬镳。
塔克·卡尔森在与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京进行有争议的采访后首次露面，称赞莫斯科比他访问过的任何一个美国城市都“好得多”。
这位被赶下台的福克斯新闻星秀，是在迪拜举行的世界政府峰会上发表讲话时发表上述声明的。
卡尔森称赞俄罗斯取得的进步，称他对这座“更漂亮”的俄罗斯城市的访问“激进化“。“它比我国家的任何一个城市都好。”这位前福克斯新闻主持人说。“80年代，我父亲在那里呆了很长时间，当时他为美国政府工作，那里几乎没有电。“
“现在它比美国任何一个城市都更干净、更安全、更漂亮，从美学上讲，它的建筑、食物、服务都比美国任何一个城市都要干净、更安全、更漂亮，这不是意识形态上的问题，这是怎么发生的？”Carlson补充说。“怎么会这样？这与我们媒体的报道不同！“
卡尔森强调了美国主要城市的安全问题，而其他“美好的居住地”可能会让美国公民感到惊讶，如东京。“在某种程度上，我认为一般人对抽象的关心不如对他生活中的具体现实的关心。”卡尔森对人群说。
在谈到“领导力的衡量标准”时，卡尔森声称俄罗斯暴君希望“摆脱”他在乌克兰发动的战争。卡尔森说：“首先，普京希望摆脱这场战争。”“俄罗斯的工业潜力比我们想象的要深刻得多。“虽然卡尔森声称美国公民不知道乌克兰发生了什么，因为“腐败”的媒体拒绝采访克里姆林宫*。
卡尔森在世界政府峰会上发表上述言论之前，他最近对普京进行了两个多小时的采访，这是自乌克兰战争爆发以来克里姆林宫首次接受美国记者的采访。
In his first appearance since his controversial interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Tucker Carlson praised Moscow for being "so much nicer" than any U.S. city he has visited, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The ousted Fox News anchor made the statement while speaking at the World Governments Summit in Dubai.
Carlson branded his visit to the much "prettier" Russian city "radicalizing" as he praised advancements made in the country.
"It is so much nicer than any city in my country. I had no idea," the ex-Fox News host said. "My father spent a lot of time there in the ’80s when he worked for the U.S. government and they barely had electricity."
"And now it is so much cleaner and safer and prettier, aesthetically, its architecture, its food, its service, than any city in the United States that you have to — and this is not ideological — how did that happen?" Carlson added. "How did that happen?"
"At a certain point, I don’t think the average person cares as much about abstractions as the concrete reality of his life. And if you can’t use your subway, for example, as many people are afraid to in New York City because it’s too dangerous, you have to sort of wonder, isn’t that ultimate measure of leadership?" Carlson told the crowd.
While speaking about the "measure of leadership," Carlson claimed the Russian despot wants to "get out" of the war he started in Ukraine.
Two years since Putin ordered the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, the far-right host alleged the despot is ready to make a "compromise" with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"First things first, Putin wants to get out of this war," Carlson said. "Russia’s industrial potential is a lot more profound than we thought it was."
Carlson's comments at the World Governments Summit follow backlash he received over his recent interview with Putin, which lasted over two hours and marked the first time since the outbreak of the Ukraine war that the Kremlin accepted a sit-down with an American journalist.
While Carlson claimed U.S. citizens were unaware of what was happening in Ukraine because of "corrupt" media outlets refusing to interview the Kremlin leader, Putin's press secretary called out Carlson and corrected his statement.
Dmitry Peskov said requests from Western outlets were largely turned down because of their "biased" reporting.
