| 0:00.0 | The following is a conversation with Tucker Carlson, a highly influential and often controversial political commentator. |
| 0:06.5 | When he was a Fox, Time magazine called him the most powerful conservative in America. |
| 0:11.3 | After Fox, he has continued to host big impactful |
| 0:14.9 | interviews and shows on X on the Tucker Carlson podcast and on Tucker Carlson |
| 0:20.6 | dot com. I recommend subscribing, even if you disagree with his views. It is always |
| 0:27.4 | good to explore diversity of perspectives. Most recently, he interviewed the President |
| 0:32.0 | of Russia of Vladimir Putin. |
| 0:34.0 | We discussed this, the topic of Russia, Putin, Navalny, and the war in Ukraine at length in this conversation. |
| 0:40.0 | Please allow me to say a few words about the very fact that I did this interview. |

| 1:19.0 | with very different views on the world. |
| 1:21.6 | I want to understand people and ideas. That's what long-form conversations |
| 1:26.6 | are supposed to be all about. Now, for people who criticize me for not asking tough questions, I hear you, but again I disagree. |
| 1:35.8 | I do often ask tough questions. |
| 1:38.3 | But I try to do it in a way that doesn't shut down the other person, putting them into a defensive state where they give only shallow |
| 1:45.0 | talking points. Instead, I'm looking always for the expression of genuinely held ideas and |
