Tucker Carlson: If AI Puts A Million Lawyers Out Of Business, We’ll Get A Revolution

Tucker Carlson commented on how AI job displacement of different classes of people could have different impacts, during an event with the All-In podcast:

TUCKER CARLSON: Can I give you the upside, please? And everyone knows this-but the IBEW is fine, like your electrician will still exist. We’ve got about a million lawyers, a little fewer than a million lawyers in the United States-and a lot of them are just SOL, and I think it’s just so great to think of them unemployed. No, I’m serious. So I do think, to some extent, it’s going to affect the worst, most entitled, most annoying classes of people. OK, so that’s an upside. I don’t want to see working-class people displaced. But let me say this: you can displace farm workers-what are they going to 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 D.C.-you will get a revolution. And I mean that. I’m dead serious. Where did Paul come from? I mean, there’s never been a revolution that wasn’t fomented by frustrated members of the insurgent class. It’s totally true. Sub-aristocrat, but the striving class-the most repulsive people there are, fair to say, but also the most intent on getting what they want. And if you put them out of business, I’m not joking at all-I think we’re seeing this. JASON CALACANIS: We’re seeing this already. One could argue that the Mamdani election surge may be the result of young people coming out of colleges in that exact same situation-driving elite, but they don’t have the outcomes they were promised. They were told that if they took on $ 400,000 of debt, they’d make a good living, buy a home, and progress in life. And all of that turned out not to be true.
