After Donald Trump s stunning victory in the 2024 election, Democrats had to stop and ask what went wrong. One conclusion from the commentary class was that progressives had a serious man problem. And for once, they were right. Democrats had made contempt for men, especially young white men, central to their message. And that came with a cost.

00:00:30.000 After Donald Trump's stunning victory in the 2024 election, Democrats had to stop and ask
00:00:35.800 what went wrong. One conclusion from the commentary class was that progressives had a serious man
00:00:41.940 problem, and for once, they were right. Democrats had made contempt for men, especially young 0.89
00:00:47.620 white men, central to their message, and that came with a cost. Any white man who remained
00:00:52.640 on the left had to accept that he was either uniquely guilty or expect to participate in
00:00:58.180 his own dispossession. The party even launched a $20 million effort to discover why men had
00:01:03.800 abandoned it, only to arrive at the familiar conclusion that, well, men are simply bad
00:01:08.780 and they deserve whatever they got. This should have created a golden opportunity for the GOP
00:01:13.760 to secure the loyalty of young men for a generation. Instead, conservatives are setting
00:01:18.680 the opportunity on fire. The natural role of men in society is to protect, provide, and lead.
00:01:25.380 Even when women earn good incomes, the data consistently shows that they still prefer men who are at least as successful as they are. 0.85
00:01:33.320 Women generally don't form families with men who can't find stable work, buy homes, or attain the status markers that signal competence and security. 0.68
00:01:42.120 A society that blocks young men from those roles is choosing dysfunction and decay.
00:01:47.220 In a recent Fox News interview, the White House press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, blamed the rise of democratic socialism on Gen Z.
00:01:56.240 She said that young people were raised with a silver spoon in their mouth, called them lazy, and suggested sending them to Cuba or Iran.
00:02:04.020 Calling those remarks callous and tone-deaf would be generous. 0.99
00:02:07.860 Leavitt married a millionaire real estate developer more than 30 years her senior.
00:02:12.460 it's unlikely that her silver spoon would be adjusted by deployment to a foreign combat zone.
00:02:19.040 The entitlement only became more obvious when she defended the comments after deserved criticism.
00:02:24.700 The message to young people was unmistakable.
00:02:27.100 Your concerns are not legitimate, and we despise you for expecting us to fix anything.
00:02:32.480 Of course, some young people are lazy and entitled.
00:02:35.860 Every generation has its share.
00:02:37.440 That doesn't mean that most young men are lazy or that the obstacles they face are imaginary.
00:02:42.460 Young men, especially young white men, have been systematically excluded from educational institutions, corporate hiring, and promotion.
00:02:50.860 These statements aren't just speculation or resentment.
00:02:54.320 They're provable fact.
00:02:55.440 We have the data.
00:02:56.560 We know what's going on.
00:02:57.980 And this is the predictable result of decades of cultural indoctrination and civil rights enforcement that trained institutions to prefer women, immigrants, and minorities whenever possible.
00:03:08.980 That has real consequences.
00:03:10.820 Men who can't secure education, employment, and status are less likely to marry or form families,
00:03:16.040 no matter how often our culture repeats slogans about equality.
00:03:19.940 Housing has become another barrier.
00:03:21.560 The average first-time homebuyer is now approaching middle age.
00:03:24.700 Young men can't build wealth as their parents did or provide the stability women often want before marriage.
00:03:30.640 There are many reasons for this, including mass immigration and corporate speculation and real estate.
00:03:35.640 But one factor is simply welfare for seniors.
00:03:37.800 Many older Americans failed to save adequately for retirement and now depend on the inflated value of homes they bought decades ago.
00:03:46.720 President Trump has explicitly said he doesn't want housing prices to fall for that reason.
00:03:52.180 That's a deliberate choice to sacrifice young men's development and family formation to protect older asset holders. 0.62
00:03:58.840 Young men have also watched their country import foreigners, legally and illegally, to replace them. 0.86
00:04:04.180 Immigrants receive special access to education loans, business programs, and hiring preferences unavailable to natives. 0.94
00:04:11.820 Mass immigration drives up housing, insurance, medical, and education costs while transforming neighborhoods beyond recognition. 0.93
00:04:19.800 In Minneapolis, the mayor now manages Somali clan politics like a colonial regent simply trying to maintain control. 0.97
00:04:27.540 The question is not, why are young men radicalized? The question is, what took them so long?
00:04:34.680 Care for your skin like you care for the game.
00:04:38.280 Dove Men Plus Care is an official sponsor of the FIFA World Cup 2026
00:04:42.640 and has just dropped their new limited edition deodorant and antiperspirant collection

00:04:59.540 on july 4th during america's 250th anniversary celebration patriot front marched in washington
00:05:07.380 dc the group consists largely of young white men in quasi-military uniforms carrying american flags
00:05:14.600 a comical number of conservatives rushed online to call them federal agents after reuters published
00:05:20.200 a photo of one black woman sitting in a subway car full of patriot front members evidence later
00:05:26.240 surfaced that this new rosa parks you know this amazing media figure that was going to lead some 1.00
00:05:30.880 kind of anti-racist revolution uh she was likely a homeless drug user with a record of indecent 1.00
00:05:36.260 exposure she was certainly safer on that train than irena zarutska who was stabbed in the neck
00:05:41.500 by a mentally ill man while riding public transportation alone the patriot front members
00:05:46.260 may have even prevented another incident of indecent exposure simply by being present young 0.92
00:05:52.040 white men remain the easiest group in America to attack publicly. The left has demonized them for
00:05:57.860 existing, which should give the GOP an obvious opening. Instead, conservatives once again take
00:06:04.020 their social cues from progressives. Many still crave left-wing approval and believe belittling
00:06:09.540 young white men proves that they're neither racist nor sexist. I don't think Patriot Front's
00:06:14.580 tactics are wise, and I've said so repeatedly. Protests, public demonstrations, they're always
00:06:19.940 very risky and very easy to subvert. Nor is skepticism about the group irrational, given the
00:06:26.160 relationship between the Southern Poverty Law Center, federal law enforcement, and manufactured
00:06:30.460 panic over white supremacy. We do know that some of this, if not a lot of it, is fake, that it is
00:06:36.640 funded, that it is something that progressives want to project onto the American mind, and so
00:06:41.820 they go behind the scenes and enable it with the funding of their donors. But dismissing everything
00:06:47.860 as a federal operation is easier than offering serious solutions it's easier to lie to ourselves
00:06:54.880 and say no there is no unrest we are doing everything right the system is working and
00:07:01.040 any representation of unrest any representation of young men seeing their futures falling away
00:07:07.660 and them getting angry about it well that's entirely manufactured by the government that's
00:07:11.920 entirely fake no young person feels that way we don't need to change anything about our approach
00:07:17.000 or our behavior. Telling ourselves that no legitimate grievances exist and that all unrest
00:07:22.840 is manufactured is foolish and weak. If Patriot Front scares you, good, it should. This is a 0.98
00:07:29.980 manifestation of not addressing real issues for decades. Young men who believe the system is
00:07:36.640 organized against them and frankly have very substantial evidence for that belief will
00:07:42.100 organized to defend their interests. And the answer is not to insult them, mock them, or pretend that
00:07:48.420 they are imagining their dispossession. The answer is to address the problems driving them towards
00:07:54.300 radical groups. Young men are not asking conservatives to excuse every bad decision or
00:07:59.960 endorse every organization that claims to speak for them. They are asking for a political movement
00:08:05.340 that recognizes their interests, defends their future, and gives them a reason to build,
00:08:12.100 a reason to be the leaders God made them to be.
00:08:15.840 Conservatives must stop hating the young men that they need to inherit the country.
