she was watching tucker carlson. tucker carlson is, you know, probably not the typical american. just imagine the predicament to explain this. so just a quick message to him. we'd be happy to welcome him at our house in kyiv and see if he is still sticking by the beliefs. so that's how -- >> what would you say to him? >> look. i'm -- i don't argue with him but invite him to kyiv why calling himself a journalist there's a tiny bit in there why not see firsthand and then form an opinion? kids watch him in ukraine. it is difficult to explain to ukrainian teenager that there are more arguments in this conversation that she knows and she's a sincere as she gets. by the way, another interesting story, i'm trying to keep positive. people ask me why i keep smiling. a war against positivity and human nature and i think every opportunity to put a smile on my face and other people's faces. there was a baby born in a bomb shelter two days from us and the community was collecting different things. baby food and, you know, clothes and -- it's beautiful. like look. shouldn't happen but when it

and finally, if you find tucker carlson of fox news tough to take in english, get a load of what he sounds like in russian. the kremlin has cleansed western news narratives on ukraine from the airwaves. it controls, but it's clearly good with carlson and his what has putin ever done to us act on fox? according to the american news magazine, mother jones, the russian government has instructed news channels to broadcast, as many carlson clips as possible. a number of outlets are running with that dictate, just take a listen to one of the voices translating carlson's words and decide is that a slightly excitable 4th a translator? or is it an act of mockery? was the next time here at the post? yes. all right, you need like, you just can be opinion ability. just when you book democrats in washington to democrat, the western is because i'm just, you don't need it. you made up for me to come to what you needed if they did a quote and sometimes it said, you just need to get a quote, but you know, it's more than just a sec. conflict of what you brought there. we just need to, he just do it and if y

one of the few things able to use from aboard precisely tucker carlson. that's bad, but what's worse, not recognizing fellow democrats when you see them. zelenskyy is a remarkable story. he's an example of how democracy's unpredictable and in that way wonderful. this guy came out of nowhere, won 73% of the vote and chose to stay and defend his country. not everybody thought he would do. a triumph for democracy that can reduce such peach to bring to the center of senate affairs. then in amazing contrast between him and someone like putin's no democratic backing, a frfraid o his own people, hides behind long tables, will nover go to the front. the kind of different we should appreciate here. >> zelenskyy not hiding behind long tables at this point, for sure. president biden spoke with china's xi soo jinping warning him of consequences if china helps russia in this car. xi jinping literally referred to putin as his best, dearest friend. how critical is the china component in all of this, and what does it say about -- you know, the overall picture from 30 tho

is tucker carlson, the fox news from the foreigners, better known for providing hyperbole, the new one and still prone to conspiracy theories on bio labs in ukraine. carlson does offer a rare critical take on the white house this position on this conflict. is there a reason why his show is so highly rated? is because man is really good at what he does. why in the world would the united states intentionally seek war with russia? how, what he's done is not that pro, pu, because that's impossible, right? you pay a defend bombing hospitals may killing babies and right killing pregnant mothers. you can't defend that, but you can be, or at least tucker has been able to be anti anti pu. do no one who knows anything and is honest, will tell you, put in, invaded ukraine simply because he is evil. so the idea is that you're not pro put, you're just when you're against mode being against. and i think it's a fascinating way to twist a narrative the sanctions imposed on russia by the west, or having a punishing effect on its economy and people at home and abroad in new york metropolitan opera house
