TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Most people accept this by default, but we should never accept this under any circumstances. To accept something is to concede that it is more or less normal. Once we acknowledge something as normal -- whether it’s children being castrated in the name of trans rights or women being murdered by rapists who should've been in prison but weren’t because of equity -- once we accept that as normal, we are stuck with it forever. It is the new status quo. It will never change except to get worse.
