On Tuesday, the fiery and fearless Tucker Carlson went on the record with a jaw-dropping claim about Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. According to Carlson, Johnson had the nerve to demand a whopping $1 million in cold, hard cash for an interview. Talk about a jaw-dropping demand!

The outspoken Carlson shared the shocking news during a heated discussion about his efforts to snag an interview with Johnson. Carlson, who was all set to have a sit-down with Putin in Moscow, didn’t hold back his frustration over being called out by Johnson, who accused him of being a “Kremlin tool.” Yikes!
Eager to set the record straight, Carlson tried to line up an interview with Johnson – only to be hit with a demand for a cool $1 million in US dollars, gold, or even Bitcoin. That’s one pricey chat!
Carlson didn’t shy away from calling out Johnson’s hard-hitting demands, shedding light on a series of public attacks from the former UK leader. “So, he attacks me without explaining how I’m wrong, of course, or how he’s right,” Carlson quipped. Ouch!
To add insult to injury, Carlson pointed out that unlike Johnson, when he interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin, not a single ruble was demanded. What a contrast between the two political heavyweights!
Adding fuel to the fire, Carlson took a swipe at Johnson’s alleged involvement in actions that may have aggravated the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He accused Johnson of halting a potential peace deal at the request of the US government, which he claims led to the loss of countless innocent lives. That’s quite the claim!
Johnson’s public criticism of Carlson in February went under the microscope as well. The former Prime Minister slammed Carlson’s interview with Putin as a “tissue of lies” and accused him of cozying up to a “tyrant” without asking the tough questions. Johnson didn’t hold back, comparing Carlson’s interview with Putin to George Galloway’s infamous moments in Baghdad with Saddam Hussein. Shots fired!
Even Russian President Vladimir Putin was left scratching his head, revealing his surprise at Carlson’s soft-glove approach during their interview. In a candid conversation with a Russian journalist, Putin confessed he was anticipating a more aggressive line of questioning from Carlson, which would have warranted equally sharp responses. Putin didn’t hold back, expressing his disappointment with the interview.
In their much-hyped thirty-minute exchange, Carlson’s restraint from posing sharper, more challenging questions surprised even Putin himself. The Russian President openly admitted he was looking for more of a verbal sparring match, stating, “Frankly, I did not get full satisfaction from this interview.” Putin’s candid assessment made quite the ripple across the globe!
With Carlson fearlessly taking on Johnson and leaving no stone unturned in his quest for the truth, it’s clear that this explosive clash of political titans is far from over. The drama continues!
