00:00:00
Everybody is in a rush to fire 10 to 25% of their workforce, but 10% unemployment
00:00:05
would be worse than anything that's ever happened in our lifetimes. We are going
00:00:08
to have a depression like we've never seen in our lives. >> Wow, Jake's a real Debbie Downer today.
00:00:14
I mean, this is an unbelievable opportunity we're talking about. I got to buy more sunglasses for how bright
00:00:20
the future is. >> If you notice, Kevin actually didn't address the wave of unemployment at all,
00:00:24
because there's no question that it's going to happen. And when we hit the
00:00:27
iceberg, we're not going to be ready, and it is going to be an epic disaster.
00:00:31
>> Change is disruptive, and it's uncomfortable. But the scare factor of
00:00:37
saying that everybody loses their job and the robots eat the children, I just don't buy it.
00:00:42
>> I I don't know anyone saying that the robots are going to eat the children.
00:00:45
And I understand that change happens, but we have to be careful with change, because by 2028, we're going to have
00:00:51
disaster from AI unemployment, and disaster from the war. The only hope is electing a smart person who's prepared
00:00:58
in 2028. And Republicans I have one thing to tell you. Nah, nah, nah, nah. Nah, nah, nah.
00:01:05
There's no way. Nobody's showing up to vote. Their voter enthusiasm is obliterated.
00:01:11
>> But the Democrats have also lost their way. >> And the Republicans only have one guy
00:01:15
who could win, and I'm worried about it. >> Tucker Carlson says we head towards the
00:01:19
midterms, but also the elections, which aren't actually that far away now. Do
00:01:22
you agree that we're heading towards a more socialist America? >> So, let me just say this.
