TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Rather than trying to change their minds, to convince them and reassure them that the system is real, that the democracy work -- as you would do if you cared about the country or the people who live here -- our new leaders will try to silence them. What happened today will be used by the people taking power to justify stripping you of the rights you were born with as an American. Your right to speak without being censored, your right to assemble, to not be spied upon, to make a living, to defend your family, most critically. These are the most basic and ancient freedoms that we have, they're why we live here in the first place, they're why we're proud to be Americans, they're what make us different. And they're all now in peril.
