He warned that the chaos at the Capitol could be used by the nation\u2019s leaders to strip Americans of their basic rights.<\/p>\n<p>Partial transcript as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As long as people sincerely believe they can change things by voting, they stay calm. They don\u2019t storm the bastille. They don\u2019t burst into the House chamber. They talk and they organize and they vote. But the opposite is also true. If people begin to believe that their democracy is fraudulent, if they conclude that voting is a charade, that the system is rigged and it\u2019s run in secret by a small group of powerful dishonest people who are acting in their own interests, then God knows what could happen. Actually, we do know what could happen. It\u2019s happening right now. It\u2019s happened in countless other countries over countless centuries, and the cycle is always the same because human nature never changes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen to us!\u201d screams the population. \u201cShut up and do what you\u2019re told,\u201d reply their leaders. In the face of dissent, the first instinct of illegitimate leadership is to crack down on the population. But crackdowns never make it better. Instead, they always make the country more volatile and more dangerous. The people in charge rarely understand that. They don\u2019t care to learn or listen because all of this conversation is a referendum on them and their leadership, so they clamp down harder. \u201cObey, I tell you. Obey!\u201d This is the Romanov program. It ends badly every single time. But that doesn\u2019t mean they won\u2019t try it again. Of course, they will because it\u2019s their nature. It\u2019s how we got here in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Millions of Americans sincerely believe the last election was fake. You can dismiss them as crazy, you can call them conspiracy theorists, you can kick them off Twitter, but that won\u2019t change their minds. Rather than trying to change their minds to convince them and reassure them the system is real, that the democracy works as you would do if you cared about the country or the people who live here, our new leaders will try to silence them.<\/p>\n<p>What happened today will be used by the people taking power to justify stripping you of the rights 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 are why we live here in the first place. They\u2019re why we are proud to be Americans. They are what make us different, and they are all now in peril. When thousands of your countrymen storm the Capitol building, you don\u2019t have to like it. We don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>You can be horrified by the violence, and as we said and we will say it again, we are horrified. It\u2019s wrong. But if you don\u2019t bother to pause and learn a single thing from it, from your citizens storming your Capitol building, then you\u2019re a fool. You lack wisdom and you lack self-awareness. You have no place running a country. We got to this sad, chaotic day for a reason. It is not your fault. It is their fault.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2021\/01\/07\/carlson-warns-capitol-hill-riots-will-be-used-to-strip-americans-of-their-rights-basic-rights-in-peril\/\">https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2021\/01\/07\/carlson-warns-capitol-hill-riots-will-be-used-to-strip-americans-of-their-rights-basic-rights-in-peril\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FNC\u2019s Carlson Warns Capitol Hill Riots Will Be Used to Strip Americans of Their Rights \u2014 Basic Rights \u2018in Peril\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46297\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
