TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): One borderline personality type responded to all of this by buying fertilizer and fuel oil, and in the spring of 1995, blew up 168 people at the federal building in Oklahoma City. It was awful. Imagine if something like that happened now. We would never recover. Violence against innocents is always wrong, it's always tragic no matter who commits it. It's not a political question. It's a moral question. It's an absolute. But, in a political environment like this one, where the people in charge are already salivating at the thought of going full Soviet, the U.S. as we know it would be over, right away, our core freedoms would disappear overnight, we would be enslaved. That would be a disaster on top of a disaster.

So far, there is no suggestion that that will happen in this country. In the face of vicious provocation, cruelty, and persecution, conservatives have remained nonviolent and thank God for that. Let's sincerely hope they stay that way.
