Tucker Carlson stunned a podcast host when he revealed that he believed Satan himself is actually running Joe Biden’s White House.
The former Fox News host said Washington’s recent move to supply Ukrainians with landmines for use against Vladimir Putin’s forces has changed his mind.
Carlson said he previously would have believed Secretary of State Antony Blinken was in charge over Biden, but after this decision he believed there were “dark forces” at work.
“Now I would say Satan, because I really think dark forces are in charge,” he said on the Redacted podcast.
“There is no justification for the use of anti-personnel landmines in this conflict, which cannot be resolved.
‘The only effect of that step is to kill innocent people, period. That’s it, that’s the only effect – and they know it. And so they do it anyway, because killing is the point.
“So it’s bad. I think we should say that. I don’t think it’s a matter of defending democracy.’
The US last week approved sending anti-personnel mines to Ukraine to repel Russian invaders into the country and slow their advance.

Biden also authorized Ukraine last week to fire American-made ATACMS missiles, with a range of 300 kilometers, at Russia.
Ukraine used some of the weapons to bomb Tula, a city with one of Russia’s largest munitions production industries, about 100 miles south of Moscow.
The landmines supplied by Washington cannot be used near civilians and will not cause the same problems as older landmines that continue to kill people around the world years after conflicts have ended.
The mines are ‘non-persistent’ and become inert after a preset period of time – they require a battery to detonate, and will not detonate once the battery is depleted.
Ukraine has used NATO-made anti-tank mines for much of the war, but Biden said he would not give Ukraine anti-personnel mines until last week’s reversal.
Carlson, who has perpetuated baseless Russian claims about Ukraine since before the invasion even began, then lashed out at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
‘The president of Ukraine is not elected. He’s a dictator. He literally served his term and continued to serve,” he said.
Zelenskyy’s term as president ended on May 20, but as martial law was declared in 2022 when the invasion began, the elections were not held.

Instead, Ukraine’s parliament voted several times to postpone elections by 90 days, most recently until February 7.
Ukraine’s opposition parties have largely resisted leaving him in power, citing the extreme difficulty of holding fair elections while under attack and because so many citizens have been driven from their homes or are under occupation.
The country’s laws also allow elections to be suspended during martial law and the government to be legitimate during that time.
“(Ukraine) has closed down a Christian denomination and put priests in prison. How many more signs of dictatorship do you need to call it what it is? Which is totalitarian. So everything about it is horrific,” Carlson continued.
He was likely referring to senior Ukrainian Orthodox cleric Metropolitan Pavlo, who was jailed in July after being under house arrest since April.
Pavlo is accused of stirring up religious hatred and justifying Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, crimes under the laws of war.
Ukraine is cracking down on the Moscow-linked Ukrainian Orthodox Church, claiming it is pro-Russian and working with Moscow.
The church denies this and says it cut all ties with Moscow last year, but many of its churches have been searched and dozens of clerics have been charged.

However, the religion is in no way ‘closed’ or suppressed to ordinary believers, and the Orthodox faith is the largest faith in Ukraine.
Carlson further claimed that Western Civilization was “a dying empire” that was “demographically collapsing” and based on a “completely pointless” finance-based economy with “no self-respect at all.”
“There’s something about the last days of a dying civilization that makes it lash out in this orgy of killing for its own sake, it’s really the darkest thing I can imagine,” he said.
“The end of an empire is a kind of murder-suicide where the former great power kills itself and then takes out a lot of people in the same way.”
Russia started the war unilaterally when it invaded Ukraine in February 2022, killing at least 12,162 Ukrainian civilians, according to the UN.
