Tucker Carlson went all the way to Moscow for that?

If you were hankering for an extended lecture on the Varangian Guard, the Rurikid dynasty, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, or other aspects of medieval and early Russian history, you were on cloud nine for the first 30 entire minutes of Tucker Carlson’s highly anticipated two-hour interview with Vladimir Putin Thursday night.

The Political Super Bowl

It’s Super Bowl weekend, and while the tailgate conspiracy party over Taylor Swift’s presidential influence steams ever onward, the biggest political football continues to be support for Ukraine. Tonight, a newly confident Vladimir Putin is about to strike again tonight, when he sits down with his sycophant Tucker Carlson for a two-hour, pre-approved … what to call this? A PR stunt?

Trump's new rival, Vivek Ramaswamy

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: There's been a surge in the GOP among the candidates. We've had Trump way out in front, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as the major challenger pretty much for the last several months until this last week, with an outsider Vivek Ramaswamy in a couple of polls showing up as number two.

Tucker Carlson returns: fact-checking his Ukraine episode

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: I wanted to respond to Tucker Carlson's first online episode of what presumably is his new show. A lot of folks were saying that there's no fact-checking on it. I certainly have no intention of doing that on a regular basis for Tucker Carlson's show, but because he's talking primarily about Russia and Ukraine, I thought that this could be helpful.

Tucker Carlson out at Fox News

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: I'll respond to the Tucker Carlson news since it's pretty significant. He's out all of a sudden, a very sudden and very terse statement being made by Fox. They have agreed to part ways. Fox going forward is likely to set some pretty clear limits so they don't get themselves vulnerable to these kinds of lawsuits. I'm glad he's gone, but I don't think it matters because his brand is going to go with him.
