TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Were you really stunned when Blake Masters and Kari Lake lost? We doubt you were, because you're getting used to how this really works. Can we call it voter fraud? No, we can't. We don't have the evidence. We can call it unacceptable, because it is. When equipment malfunctions or it takes days to count the votes, Americans lose their faith in their democratic system and when they lose that faith, they tend to become radical and over time, they can become dangerous because democracy is the safety relief valve that keeps things from blowing up.

Whether or not the system is actually rigged, there is no doubt that it certainly looks like it's rigged, and that alone, just the appearance of it, is a disaster for all of us. So you would think both parties would want to fix this for the sake of democracy, the democracy we claim to care so much about. But no. Only one party wants to fix it. Only one party even notices. The other party is benefiting from it.
