TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Well, they're creating extremists, just as we did in Iraq. 

They're creating -- they're making it a dead certainty that somebody is going to be driven into total lunacy and do something terrible. 

I mean, they are making people crazy and dramatically elevating the chance that something really awful is going to happen. And I'm upset about it. I think we all should be.
