Far-right Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson has raised lots of eyebrows after giving some very bizarre advice to a college student he interviewed on his show.

Carlson recently had a conversation with 18-year-old University of Chicago student Daniel Schmidt, a YouTuber with a popular channel called Piece of Schmidt.


What pearls of wisdom did Carlson have for America's collegiate youth? Drop out of college and go have a bunch of kids at 18 years old.

No, seriously. See Carlson's comments below.

Carlson's conversation with Schmidt began with him railing against the so-called "rise of secularism" in America, a strange allegation to make about a country where Christian extremists are successfully rolling back long-held rights and protections.

But then things got even weirder when Schmidt asked Carlson for his two cents on the value of education and marriage.

Carlson replied:

"Just dive face first into it. Drop out of college."
"College is ridiculous, unless you're moving towards some very specialized degree that you can only get in college; you wanna be a veterinarian or physicist or something."
"But if you're in humanities, I can give you a list of 100 books you can find on the internet. And you'll be better educated than you will be at whatever stupid college you go to, A."

Okay, with the high cost of education and today's insanely tough job market that's not the most unhinged advice ever given. But then... well, things took a hard turn when Carlson got to his Point 'B,' about what young people should do instead of going to college.

"B, get married... have more children than you can afford, take a job you’re not qualified for, go balls out.”

Um... okay...

Carlson did not explain how young people are supposed to get jobs for which they are unqualified if they don't go to college, nor the value of having more kids than you're able to support, but surely he has reasons.

He did, however, say men should look for two qualifications in the wife with whom they are to have more children than they can afford--they should be "hot and nice." Charming guy, that Tucker.

On Twitter, Carlson's advice went over about as well as you might expect--especially given Carlson's patrician background as the heir to a frozen-food fortune









During the interview, Carlson also called reproduction "the highest level of achievement there is," railed against pornography and the internet, and lashed out at his conservative critics. Sounds about as coherent as a certain former President he loves so much.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."
