Tucker DESTROYS Kevin O'Leary Over AI Data Centers & Screwing Taxpayers!

from The Jimmy Dore Show

Tucker Carlson recently dismantled billionaire Kevin O'Leary by exposing that his massive planned Utah data center, which will be multiple times the size of Manhattan and consume as much energy as New York City, will create only 2,000 jobs, compared to New York's 5 million, while the project relies on taxpayer subsidies and tax breaks without giving taxpayers any equity in the company. O'Leary deflects by claiming AI will create "millions of new jobs" but cannot name a single one, and pivots to scaremongering about China and Taiwan, prompting Carlson to note that every prior technological revolution—including the internet—coincided with rising suicide rates, addiction rates, and declining life expectancy.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger praise Carlson for being the only major media figure challenging billionaires like O'Leary, and highlight Matt Walsh's rare correct take that tech gurus have no answer for what happens to the millions who lose their jobs to AI, offering only "Boo China!" as a justification. Jimmy concludes that the point of the two-party system is to keep Americans divided against their neighbors so they don't unite against their real enemies—billionaires like O'Leary—and that the only way out is a worker strike with a single demand: publicly funded elections. Plus a segment on Fox News' freakout in China over a parking ticket. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Jeff Bridges!
