Tucker Carlson: AI Will Radicalize the Professional Class

Tucker: “We’ve got a little fewer than one million lawyers in the United States, and a lot of them are just SOL.” “You can displace farm workers, what are they gonna do about it?” “You can displace factory workers, they’ll just kill themselves with drugs and fast food, which they have done. And you’ll feel sort of guilty, but then ignore it.” “If you do that to lawyers and nonprofit sector employees, who I lived around in DC, you will get a revolution.” “And I mean that. I’m dead serious. Where did Pol Pot come from?” “There’s never been a revolution that wasn’t fomented by frustrated members of the sort of the insurgent class.” “Sub-aristocrat, but the striving class, the most repulsive people there are, I think it would be fair to say.” “But also the most intent on getting what they want.” “And if you put them out of business, I mean, I’m not joking at all, I think we could get unstable.” Friedberg: “We’re seeing this already, and one could argue that the Mamdani election surge may be the result of young people coming out of colleges that were in that exact same situation.” “And they were told that if they take on $400K of debt, they’ll end up making a good living and progressing in life, buying a home, and all of that turned out to not be true.”
