Beginning at the 52 minutes mark, you can witness are thinly veiled pro-Russian propaganda piece of the current US administration. Some excerpts:
Claiming that Zelenskyy was the one who was "disrespectful" and Ukraine's "arrogance":
STEVE WITKOFF: [...] you saw what happened in the Oval Office with Zelenskyy and the President. Disrespecting him is not a healthy way to have a good relationship.
TUCKER CARLSON: The arrogance of small countries. It’s like, get some perspective. I mean, come on, how can you imagine acting like that?
Making sure Russia is fine:
STEVE WITKOFF: [...] I want to see Russia come out of it okay.
NATO is like Hamas:
TUCKER CARLSON: [...] My certainty is that that still remains the central demand, period. No Ukraine in NATO – can’t have peace without that. In the same way that Israel doesn’t want Hamas on its border, they don’t want that.
Can't even get the names of Ukrainian regions right:
STEVE WITKOFF: Well, first of all, I think the largest issue in that conflict are these so-called four regions. Donbas, Crimea. You know the names.
TUCKER CARLSON: Lugansk.
STEVE WITKOFF: Yeah, Lugansk. And there’s two others. They’re Russian speaking. There have been referendums where the overwhelming majority of the people have indicated that they want to be under Russian rule.
No NATO:
I think it’s accepted that if there’s going to be a peace deal, Ukraine cannot be a member of NATO. I think that’s largely accepted.
Putin being "gracious" and "not the bad guy", "praying for his friend" Trump:
President Putin had commissioned a beautiful portrait of President Trump from the leading Russian artist and actually gave it to me and asked me to take it home to President Trump, which I brought home and delivered to him. It’s been reported in the paper, but it was such a gracious moment.
And told me a story, Tucker, about how when the president was shot, he went to his local church and met with his priest and prayed for the president, not because he was the President of the United States or could become the President of the United States, but because he had a friendship with him and he was praying for his friend. I mean, can you imagine sitting there and listening to these kind of conversations?
And I came home and delivered that message to our president and delivered the painting, and he was clearly touched by it. So this is the kind of connection that we’ve been able to reestablish through, by the way, a simple word called communication, which many people would say, you know, I shouldn’t have had, because Putin is a bad guy. I don’t regard Putin as a bad guy.
