What was said

"AI is gonna wipe out the white-collar jobs. And then without white-collar workers, what job can they do? They're gonna be like, I guess I'll go work at a Taco Bell. But then a robot's doing that. So they'll be like, I guess I'll pick berries in a field. But the Honduran farmer is doing that."

Pool predicts a looming economic crisis driven by the convergence of AI automation eliminating white-collar jobs and low-skill immigration filling blue-collar positions. He warns that displaced American workers will have no employment options left, while countries like Japan strategically import high-skill workers instead. This, he argues, will lead to widespread unemployment and societal instability in the U.S. within two decades.
