Tucker Carlson began releasing preview clips from his interview with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Monday, including one in which he asked Pezeshkian about Iranians chanting “Death to America.”
“Many Americans are afraid of Iran. You say you’re not afraid, but Americans are afraid of Iran. And they believe that Iran would like to strike the United States with a nuclear weapon. They see video of Iranians saying death to America, describing our country as the great Satan. What is your opinion of that? Should we be afraid?” Carlson asked.
“I believe that this is a very wrong impression that anybody might have of Iran or the Iranians. I would like to remind you that Iran has never invaded another country in the last 200 years. When they say death to the United States it doesn’t mean death to—they don’t mean death for the people of the United States or even to the officials of the United States,” Pezeshkian replied through a translator, adding:
They mean death to crimes, death to killing and carnage, death to supporting, killing others, to insecurity and instability. Have you ever heard that an Iranian killing [sic] an American? Have you heard that? Or a terrorist that was Iranian and he carried out a terrorist attack against the Americans?

“Iranians are smart, they get stupid Arabs to do all their dirty work”
I noticed they mainly bombed the Arab towns of Israel, even bombing the main hospital where Bedouins (Israeli) and Gazans (POWs) are being treated in Beersheeba (or however that is spelled).
That was truly the dumbest interview I’ve ever watched.
I had to fast forward through it.
I’m not going to bother with this one.
Geez
What BS
No no of course not- when Iran says that, they “really mean” they love Americans with the love of a 1000 martyrs, they love westerners, they want them to prosper and be happy. And the Jews too. Silly Americans, always taking people literally. 🙄
Another low for Tucker.
Yep.
Carlson is compromised beyond redemption. Just repulsive. Like some kind of possessed demon.
‘How many people live in America?’
‘Too many, we’re concerned about overcrowding, that’s what is behind those scary chants you were asking about. Once you’re down to our sort of numbers then we chant Peace to America.’
‘Am I the biggest doofus you have ever met, agreeing to interview you, knowing you would just lie to me?’
‘No, I have met many bigger doofuses, I live in Iran after all. Some of the grand ayatollahs, not so grand, I can tell you.’
“did Tucker give his stupid, arrogant laugh after the chief terrorist made the ridiculous remark?”
probably gave his “intense, thoughtful scrunched up face look”, you know, because the answer was so “insightful” ...
TC: what an idiot - its their foreign policy, not a random chant.
“I would like to remind you that Iran has never invaded another country in the last 200 years.”
Forgot about that whole Iran-Iraq war already, I see.

“They mean death to crimes, death to killing and carnage, death to supporting, killing others, to insecurity and instability.”
The crimes, death, killing, and carnage Pezeshkian is referring to, are, in Iranians’ perception, US and Israeli activities, particularly in the Middle East, in pursuit of regional hegemonism, the US’s evolved form of imperialism. The Iranians want this to “die”, i.e., for us to stop and go away, leaving Iran to bully their neighbors in ... peace.
Carlson is indeed a dope, but letting foreign leaders have their own say is useful, certainly compared to trusting our overlapping Intel Community and Big Media to be the only source. I prefer just letting the interviewees go, rather than for someone like Carlson to try to argue with them. It’s our job to make of it what we will.
When my neighbor said “death to your family” to me. He really meant death to the fleas on my dog and the fire ants in my back yard.
Beersheba
So that “Death to Israel billboard clock that Israel blew up” Just meant the end of uh, what? The thousands of missiles launched at Israel all just were delivering flowers. The Iranian terrorists and sponsored terrorists that have killed many Americans didn’t really mean it? Why did Tucker even give this guy a microphone?
“The movie was Charly (with the y backwards) it starred Cliff Robertson.”
That’s right! Never saw it, the story was very sad to me, so didn’t want to see it.
Attacking the US Embassy was an attack on America.
Duh ... Iran as currently constructed only been around since 1979. Iran lets it’s proxies do the invading.
Is Tucker compromised or just wants more notoriety for bigger paychecks?
What a whore Tucker is. I wonder how much he was paid by Iran or Qatar for this ridiculous fluffing interview. Reminds me when Mahmud I’need’a’jihad was interviewed at a Columbia college and the press, students, faculty were enamored by him and praised him for being so cute and cuddly. Especially funny was when a student asked how Iran treated gay people and he said “we don’t have that in Iran.” To which the students all laughed and clapped.
