Gen Z loves Both Trump and Mamdani-Jessica Rosenthall knows why.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know, we saw the young people really come out
from Mundani in New York City, which just blows my mind.
But we also see a surge going on around our
country right now for President Trump with young people. So
how was it? Young people, for the most part, can
go so many different directions. Well, big, the big two,
I guess is what we're talking about. Democrat or Republican.

(00:20):
Conservative are super liwer, but it seems that there's a
big group on both sides. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Well, and I should clarify in President Trump's case, it
was really last year, right, we saw a big shift
in the numbers of young people willing to go conservative. Right,
forty seven percent of people between eighteen and twenty nine
went for President Trump. It was still fifty one percent
for Vice President Harris. But the point is it was
a big change for young people towards conservatism because in

(00:49):
twenty twenty they went for President Trump with only thirty
six percent of their vote. There's evidence that since then,
since like the Doge cuts and everything that gen ZSA
in their support for President Trump. But the point is
that could change. And the reason why is, for example,
you look at the race in New York, you look
at Doorn Momdanni's success with young people. Our Fox News

(01:11):
vtterpool showed sixty five percent of men between eighteen and
twenty nine went for him, eighty two percent of women
in that age Cohort wentce for Mom Donnie. And there
are a lot of big pieces being written now about
like sort of where gen Z is at politically. We
had on our Fox News Rundown podcast this past week
Kaylee McGee's white, who's a Fox News contributor but also

(01:32):
gen Z or herself, And I'll share with you what
she wrote in her op ed before we had her on.
She said, Ultimately, my generations motivated less by policy specifics
and more by a broad agenda that promises to dismantle
the status quo. Maybe that makes gen Z young and dumb,
but we're not interested in preserving an establishment we have
no stake in, Nor are we willing to settle for

(01:54):
the managed decline that keeps older generations comfortable, that sacrifices
our chance at a profit risk future. Okay, and speaking
with her, I learned her say that essentially not about
party politics, It's really about who promises to see us
and address some of our concerns.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Well, I think that is shifting back once again thanks
to Charlie Kirk in turning point USA in the movement. There.
You look what's happening around college campuses now, and it
is exploding with interest and moving back into this direction
here from a biblical standpoint, a Christian value standpoint as well,
and just you know, the morals of what's right and wrong.
I mean that shift is happening in droves around this

(02:32):
country right now. To her point, the gen z or
you just spoke of the fact that they're going to
get out there and the young and dumb, I think
does wrap that up. I mean I was there as well,
young and dumb. I voted for Bill Clinton one time.
You know. But here's the deal on this. If you
vote for change just for the sake of change, and
you open up that new box of change under the
Christmas tree that you begged for and you got it,

(02:54):
oh my gosh, I didn't know what was going to
be this kind of change. I think that you're in
for a room awakening if you're voting just for change
because of change instead of understanding what that change is
all about.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Well, and they don't necessarily have the wherewithal to know
what that change will bring, right essentially because of their age,
and that's something you grapple with, but dude, your research. Well,
but Jenz's point is, Look, this is not the same
America that y'all grew up in, right like our the
median home buying age is now fifty nine. The median
home buying age for first time home buyers is forty.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
The Saint Louis Federal Reserve, the Federal Reserve Bank of
Saint Louis just came out with statistics that show that
for a recent college grads, unemployment is that over nine percent.
We just had Naylan Haley on, the son of Nicky Haley.
He's twenty four. He was on Fox News Channel this
week and he said in his friend group, he doesn't

(03:50):
have a single friend that has gotten a job within
the year and a half they've been out of college.
And there's a big discussion happening about ai h one
b zsus. I mean, some of the people really struggling
in the job market right now are the ones who
went to college, did coding, learned to code, right, they said,
go to college and be in computers. Well, those are

(04:10):
the people now struggling to get jobs largely, and now
we've got people like micro telling young people why don't
you go be a plumber or a pipe fitter or
a welder. So the world is changing in front of
these kids sort of wondering if anybody will acknowledge it
and help them.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Well, it's one hundred percent changing and faster I think
than we've ever seen before. Because I think you're right
you mentioned AI. It's changing a lot of things at
lightening speed, and you're right. The job market changes quicker
now because the ripple effect of everything that's been happening.
So yeah, there's quicker adjustments needed now than I think
ever before in a lot of things in our ass

(04:47):
in the economic aspect, including the job market, including the salaries,
including what your studies should be, where you should concentrate
in getting a trade. If like Mike ro said, look
everybody he's gonna need a plumber. I don't care if
you're you know, a nurse, a doctor, an AI, corporate leader.
Uh guess what everybody uses, you know, plumbing. So yeah, Jessica,

(05:09):
input was great this morning. Thank you so much, Jessica Rosenthal,
