Not really far right, but they're more conservative.
00:00:06.600
A series of stories have emerged talking about how younger people are leaning conservative.
00:00:17.060
And this trend has been continuing for some time.
00:00:30.360
But I also think it's fair to say we are winning the ideological battle.
00:00:40.280
We talked to a bunch of Gen Z women about why young men are going conservative.
00:00:50.600
And for these young men, many of them are not going conservative because of the reasons they're prescribing.
00:00:58.200
They're going conservative because of the surface of it.
00:01:00.480
That is, seeing all these young women say stupid things about white supremacy is going to make your average white guy be like, yeah, these people are nuts.
00:01:15.900
Share of young American men who say they identify with select political ideologies.
00:01:26.240
That is 18 to 24-year-olds as of last September.
00:01:34.720
And that is because, in my opinion, young men are tired of being screwed with.
00:01:41.960
If you are, right now, if you're 18, you're looking at 27-year-olds, you're all Gen Z, and you're going, holy crap, there's no future for me.
00:01:59.580
Now, for the 25 to 29-year-olds, when they were 18, they were looking up to millennials.
00:02:07.560
So these people were like, maybe it's not so bad.
00:02:14.020
They say a new trend has emerged in American politics.
00:02:16.860
The very youngest voters, 18 to 24-year-olds, say they're more conservative than the cohort that's just older, according to the latest Harvard Youth Poll.
00:02:24.460
This new trend, which is true for both genders and emerged only in the last few years, is especially pronounced with men.
00:02:32.400
The younger generation of men is more likely to identify as conservative than as liberal, a stunning flip.
00:02:38.200
It's rare for a group of Americans that young to be more conservative than their immediate predecessors.
00:02:43.600
This is like breaking a 100-year trend, mind you.
00:02:48.120
They're going to mention, among women, the younger group is more conservative by three points.
00:02:56.180
You know, I want to give a shout-out to Brett Cooper.
00:03:06.120
And the whole crowd erupts, cheering and clapping.
00:03:12.960
I have been saying the problem, one of the problems we have, socially,
00:03:16.820
is that women are clapping and cheering for other women when they're girl bosses.
00:03:21.380
But moms are, you know, I'm going to tell you this.
00:03:34.940
They help shape the minds and the emotional centers.
00:03:51.300
Guys are more about getting the mission done and helping society survive.
00:03:55.020
And moms are more about the human touch of nature, nurture, the spirit.
00:04:00.880
And the mothers provide tasks and goals as well.
00:04:06.900
Dads, a little bit more one way, in my opinion.
00:04:08.580
So we've had, for the longest time, cheering not for mothers.
00:04:17.780
Mockery of choosing to be a stay-at-home mom, even to this day.
00:04:21.080
Seeing this trend, where when Brett Cooper comes out announcing she's pregnant and everyone's clapping and cheering for her.
00:04:28.780
In Sparta, my friends, the only way you would get a gravestone as a man is if you died in battle.
00:04:40.940
That's how, not get me wrong, Spartans were pretty nuts.
00:04:44.560
But that idea that a man who died for his people deserved to be honored.
00:04:51.700
And a woman who died for her people deserved to be honored.
00:05:03.140
Everybody deserves to be, well, not everybody deserves to be remembered.
00:05:06.480
But typically, you know, everybody's got somebody who wants to remember them.
00:05:09.120
I just think that we as a society belittle creating life and giving birth and being a mom.
00:05:17.140
And this is why I think a lot of younger women are starting to cheer for what they're calling the womanosphere.
00:05:23.440
I think people are starting to wake up to the lies of the social engineering that we've seen.
00:05:33.400
Democratic pollsters shocked as Gen Z's conservative shift.
00:05:37.620
A prominent Democratic pollster has expressed shock at data revealing a significant conservative shift among Gen Z voters,
00:05:44.060
particularly young men who helped pal Donald Trump to victory in the 2024 presidential election against Kamala Harris.
00:05:50.620
Recent Atlas Intel polling shows Trump's approval rating among 18 to 29-year-olds has climbed to 52.7%.
00:06:02.360
That was in February, mind you, marking a substantial improvement.
00:06:13.660
In a podcast interview on Tuesday with the New York Times, columnist Ezra Klein, David Shore, head of data science at the Democratic polling firm Blue Rose Research, revealed striking findings about youth voting patterns in the 2024 election.
00:06:27.480
According to their analysis, Trump won among young white men and narrowly captured support from non-white men in the 18-year-old demographic.
00:06:34.040
Quote, this is the thing I am the most shocked by in the last four years, that young people have gone from being the most progressive generation since the boomers to becoming potentially the most conservative generation that we've experienced in maybe 50 to 60 years.
00:06:50.360
Let me just say it again, a crowd, a crowd of people in a live show clapping and cheering for a mother, for a woman to say, I will be a mom, and everyone's screaming and that's what I'm talking about.
00:07:05.260
The data also reveals an unprecedented 23% point gender gap among voters under 30, with young men significantly more likely to support Trump than young women.
00:07:15.620
This polarization appears to be part of a global trend observed in several Western democracies.
00:07:21.300
According to AP VoteCast analysis, President Trump won 47% of the 18-29 demographic in the 2024 election, up from 36% in 2020.
00:07:32.640
Atlas Intel's February polling shows his approval rating in this age group has improved by nearly 23 points since January.
00:07:41.000
Shore says, I have to admit, I was one of those liberals four years ago, and it seemed I was wrong.
00:07:47.580
As Rick Klein said, Democrats are getting destroyed now among young voters.
00:07:53.320
They thought that this was the last gasp of something, and that if Donald Trump couldn't run up his numbers among seniors,
00:07:58.980
and you had millennials and Gen Z really coming into voting power, that would be the end of this Republican Party.
00:08:07.300
David Cohen says, young voters compose a crucial part of the Democratic base.
00:08:11.380
And if that is eroding, where do they make up for that?
00:08:13.780
Going forward, Democrats will have to figure out how to bring young voters back to the fold, particularly young men, if they want to be competitive nationally.
00:08:25.000
These progressives are pretending on YouTube, on Twitch, etc., that they represent the future.
00:08:37.040
Every age demographic, except for the boomers, holds Trump favorably.
00:08:41.900
Boomers, so younger boomers, 61 to 69, have Trump slightly favorable.
00:08:56.160
Now let's analyze our Democrat friends over here and try and figure out why Gen Z men are growing more conservative.
00:09:06.900
22 reasons Gen Z men are growing more conservative according to their female peers.
00:09:20.300
So long as they keep saying these things, let me tell you, they'll make more conservatives.
00:09:24.820
This article, let me give you 22 reasons why Gen Z men are growing more conservative.
00:09:29.380
And it is the false arguments in each one of these positions.
00:09:33.660
And because of that, men read it and go, that's what you think about me?
00:09:42.660
They say, we recently asked Gen Z women from both sides of the political aisle to share their views on conservatism, growing in popularity among their male peers.
00:09:50.060
Their points of view on why this shift is occurring were wide ranging.
00:09:57.700
They may make some points I'd agree with in this, but let's read.
00:10:00.820
One, I'm a Gen Z teen who lives in a very small southern town, meaning I get to experience and see the young men who dedicate their lives to Trump.
00:10:09.580
I believe they are shifting more towards the right side because it's giving them a chance to still be in control.
00:10:32.760
They want to know that they have a plan for the future.
00:10:35.080
They don't want to feel anxiety over the uncertainty of a failing economy and a broken system.
00:10:47.600
Most of these guys are just like, I wish I could have a family and buy a house.
00:10:52.220
And they view that as, so you're a white supremacist.
00:11:03.360
Seeing these male business leaders supporting Trump and the rights values helped on the side.
00:11:07.520
Most left side campaigners in the last election were famous people that only women and gay people liked.
00:11:13.880
I'm sorry if this hurts your feelings, but men value the original male values, meaning they won't support the left side campaigners.
00:11:19.300
That's not completely untrue, but control, it's about just making it in life.
00:11:25.920
Knowing that there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
00:11:28.540
That if you work hard today, you will succeed tomorrow.
00:11:36.420
However, a lot of his friends feel the current way political and social discourse is going,
00:11:40.100
there's a lot of focus on uplifting marginalized voices.
00:11:42.020
And at times, this can make them feel like their perspectives are being overlooked or dismissed.
00:11:45.840
They feel like their voices, especially as white, straight men, are often stereotyped in ways that make them feel blamed for issues.
00:11:53.080
While it's important to address inequality and amplify marginalized voices,
00:11:57.200
I also think it can feel a bit isolating for them.
00:12:00.760
Like they are being viewed as a problem by one side of the political spectrum.
00:12:04.400
I feel like that would inadvertently push them towards the opposite side,
00:12:07.620
where they might feel more welcome, regardless of whether it aligns with their views or not.
00:12:22.320
And there are tons of conservatives that are not white.
00:12:28.720
They're not the only ones that are moving to the right.
00:12:35.720
But let me assess this, because that's still not untrue of white, straight men.
00:12:39.020
But it's not that it's pushing them towards the other side, whether they agree with them or not.
00:12:47.800
So these guys are like, I'll hang out with people who don't hate me, I guess.
00:12:51.980
Yo, I disagree with a lot of conservatives on a lot of things, but we don't hate each other.
00:12:57.780
I still remember that debate I had with Glenn Beck like six years ago.
00:13:14.220
We're trying to figure it out and be as fair as we can to everybody to respect our views on how to do things properly.
00:13:20.960
So if you're a white man and they're screaming in your face that you're a white supremacist, evil white man,
00:13:28.520
It's not that you're being pushed to the side because whether you agree with them or not.
00:13:31.340
It's you just saying, I'm not going to associate with people who hate me.
00:13:36.620
Still, that doesn't get to the fact that there are non-white people supporting Trump.
00:13:45.160
As more, so many males are angry and want something to blame.
00:13:48.420
Fox News has told conservatives that if they're not sex gods with 100 million in the bank and abs of steel,
00:13:54.080
it's because of immigrants, welfare, feminism, liberals, etc.
00:13:56.600
It's so much easier to point at everything else rather than growing up, learning to be kind, honest, honest, thoughtful.
00:14:06.360
Fox News, where they talk well about Donald Trump, who's obese and elderly.
00:14:15.780
Young guys of all backgrounds, of all races, of all religions are just saying, why can't I have a family?
00:14:29.760
I'm a high school girl, and I have noticed that majority of boys in my generation are leaning conservative.
00:14:39.980
Young men are being blamed for mistakes that were made before they were even born.
00:14:43.160
But there are so few moderate role models, they are forced to listen to extremists like Andrew Tate just to feel like they have value.
00:14:52.260
I think the first part hits the nail on the head, exactly as I was saying.
00:14:57.220
But I would say, it's not about extremists like Andrew Tate.
00:15:04.380
But he's strong, and he tells people to screw off.
00:15:10.240
You get a moderate, and they're going to try and pander to Democrats.
00:15:16.500
These IDW light types, these woke light, they're like, oh, but the woke right is bad now.
00:15:28.860
The other thing is you might get someone like Jordan Peterson.
00:15:48.960
It's not just about being forceless and Andrew Tate because there's no moderates.
00:15:56.980
Dark humor is becoming a trend, especially among young men.
00:15:59.660
And while even I find it funny from time to time, there has to be a limit.
00:16:06.800
And what it is, the person trying to intervene is considered soft and dramatic, which it doesn't
00:16:23.760
The current loneliness epidemic is having younger generations often only finding social solace
00:16:30.160
Conservative right-wing social media podcasts, YouTube videos, and news channels are dominating
00:16:57.020
And it won't be until your mid to late 20s things start to slowly get better.
00:17:00.260
And when they do, you will find a brief moment of anxiety where you don't know how to hold
00:17:09.920
And then you start getting older and your bones start hurting and your joints.
00:17:16.280
If you are a man, if you are a young man, expect life to be your face smashed in the mud.
00:17:23.680
Nasty, evil people blaming you for everything and spitting on you.
00:17:32.660
We are resilient, and we are able to run into burning buildings and save lives.
00:17:39.620
But it is expected of men to die in battle for glory, to save your country, to secure
00:17:52.400
And so I tell you right now, when they say, but there's no major left-leaning podcasts,
00:18:00.020
At a certain point, a young man who is told by leftists over and over and over again, it's
00:18:12.920
I think eventually those people go, I don't think you're offering many solutions to make
00:18:17.220
Because I'll tell you this right now, boys, I got solutions for you.
00:18:23.720
Walking and exercise can help treat most depression.
00:18:36.540
That's why Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate got so popular.
00:18:39.700
I am not going to sit back and tell some dude who's obese, that's fine, man.
00:18:45.240
I'm going to say, bro, get up, lift some weights, do some exercise.
00:18:54.160
Take responsibility for your own life and stop wallowing in self-pity.
00:18:59.200
To be a man is to push as hard as you've ever pushed and to feel the pain.
00:19:10.800
I got to go quicker through these because we're running out of time.
00:19:13.500
I think Trump makes guys feel powerful and sexually dominant by putting women back in their place.
00:19:30.040
And now you've got the rise of these podcast bros that are like, nah, don't do that.
00:19:35.040
Because the women don't respect you for doing it.
00:19:41.480
But men love the idea of being the provider and giving women a good life.
00:19:51.060
When you get married and you're having a family, you need to push twice as hard.
00:20:04.360
Social and emotional issues are on the rise, including subjects like LGBTQ rights, racial inequality, women's rights.
00:20:10.620
While these issues are important and some men will agree they're important, they do not understand their role and often think anyone can do what they want to.
00:20:20.960
It's because all these groups blame men for everything.
00:20:24.720
As a mom of an 11-year-old boy, it is hard to go against what they see online.
00:20:28.340
Like women in gyms yelling at men for looking at them and sort of thing.
00:20:33.680
My ex-boyfriend fell down a TikTok rabbit hole of anti-women content where guys preach that women should stop being independent and go back to worshiping men.
00:20:40.840
It's wild how many Gen Z guys are buying into these flashy, toxic narratives.
00:20:47.000
This one is, my male friends believed wholeheartedly that Democrats were going to send them to war so they voted for Trump.
00:20:56.040
Because Democrats are rooting for war and Trump said no war.
00:20:59.180
And women vote for war even though they can't be drafted.
00:21:04.620
Straight white males get the worst deal in current society.
00:21:08.440
They are told they're all 100% racist, misogynistic, and transphobic.
00:21:11.620
They're told that they're the most unsafe option compared to a bear.
00:21:18.300
I think more young men are voting conservative because they feel sight is labeled them toxic.
00:21:24.200
They want a party that will respect and value not just women and non-binary people.
00:21:31.640
Men are shifting right because modern feminism isn't about equality anymore.
00:21:35.880
I actually agree with these more than I thought.
00:21:38.780
After having conversations with my moderate guy friends, I feel like they don't care about stuff unless it directly affects them.
00:21:44.280
So when talking about liberal policies, they don't see the personal benefit.
00:21:48.220
They are losing the feeling of being big, strong hero and feel just plain old equal.
00:21:54.440
They feel completely unequal and inadequate and useless.
00:21:58.560
I think the Democratic Party has made Ciz Hetman, eh, right there, feel alienated by not caring about any issues
00:22:08.560
I've had an ex-boyfriend tell me that he struggled in the relationship because he wasn't the more successful one.
00:22:14.520
There's a narrative that historically men have been the more traditionally successful ones in the relationship,
00:22:19.660
financially, educationally, and professionally,
00:22:22.200
because women haven't been allowed to pursue these things until the last few decades,
00:22:29.780
America was built on the backs of men who are now supposed to be ashamed of themselves for being men.
00:22:34.260
I, as the oldest part of Gen Z, believe the rise in conservative views among Gen Z men
00:22:39.500
is due to the fact that men, particularly white men, may feel overlooked in society.
00:22:50.180
From what I've seen, a lot of young men have realized that women are not dependent on men anymore.
00:22:54.160
They see that women can have a career, live on their own, and be happy without having a boyfriend or being married.
00:22:57.740
So why would women waste their time with a man who doesn't treat them well,
00:23:01.720
who doesn't actively improve the quality of their lives?
00:23:03.600
For a lot of men, it's easier to say that women demand too much or have too high standards
00:23:11.680
I think the issue is that men are like, I'd like a wife who wants to have kids.
00:23:25.720
And so they're thinking, look, I go to work every day.
00:23:31.420
I need someone who can raise a family while I go out and fight the bears to bring the food home.
00:23:36.080
And last but not least, we're living in a time where women, trans, and non-binary people
00:23:40.040
are taking up positions of power more than ever before,
00:23:42.840
feeling more comfortable breaking traditional gender norms.
00:23:45.420
With that comes a realization for cis men, they are losing power in their society.
00:23:49.660
So aligning with a political side that strips everyone else of their rights and liberties
00:24:01.580
They just want to have a nice house with a picket fence and maybe some chickens.
00:24:05.080
They want to find a nice woman who's kind to them and is smart and will help them raise children.
00:24:11.660
The idea that men want to go out and abuse minorities and marginalized people is the stupidest thing ever.
00:24:17.120
They are mad because they want to be left alone.
00:24:25.520
That is why Gen Z men are becoming conservative.
00:24:32.280
Thanks for tuning in for this morning hour, of course.
00:24:35.020
We are working on bringing in as many guests as we can.
00:24:37.960
But we want to make sure that they're news relevant.
00:24:39.840
So obviously today we could have chosen anybody to come and talk about any issue.
00:24:45.460
But I don't want to just bring in people for the sake of having someone to talk to.
00:24:49.580
So today we had a few individuals that maybe we could have joined on the show.
00:24:55.100
But then it's just us kind of hanging out and riffing.
00:24:57.100
And I'm hoping that we can bring in guests that have recently written something that is trending.
00:25:07.560
You know, the other day we had Cam who had maced some Antifa guys.
00:25:17.760
I don't want to force a guest in a circumstance.
00:25:20.460
It's a largely political episode talking about Democrat politics, Gen Z conservative.
00:25:26.900
Maybe we can bring in some Gen Z conservatives in the future and have a larger conversation about this.
00:25:32.480
So I don't know if you guys have any new rumble rants that have popped in.
00:25:39.460
Jeffrey Frenchpots is another liberal communist pope.
00:25:43.240
Devita says, pressing the new pope is that Justice Thomas looking dude that's based AF.
00:25:48.740
Shout out, kick it, my new app, dang it, in your community showcase and open in the app store.
00:25:57.960
Guitarist Gabe said, Patel said today that Epstein did in fact kill himself.
00:26:10.800
But there are scenarios in which Epstein desperately tried to end his own life.
00:26:16.940
Granted, I still don't largely believe it, but I got to talk to Cash, you know.
00:26:24.200
Mazda says, the way I understand it, your daughter and my son are actually part of Generation Bravo.
00:26:28.860
That Gen Alpha is actually very small because they're basing it on cultural shifts in technology.
00:26:35.580
All right, Benjamin, thanks for covering this, Tim.
00:26:47.180
Bernie fighting the oligarchy by self-destructing.

Did Jeffrey Epstein hang himself or did somebody kill him?
00:27:13.500
Senator, I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan Tension Center.
00:27:18.800
Are you going to release all the information about that?
00:27:22.300
Senator, we are working through that right now with the Department of Justice.
00:27:35.200
I'm going to give Cash all the benefits of the doubt he could ever ask for.
00:27:47.940
You know, if you were to come to me and tell me 20 years ago, it's like, you're going to open for Russell Brand.
00:28:08.700
What I will say is Cash gets all the benefit of the doubt that I can muster up.
00:28:13.120
When he's asked about this, he's giving the official department answer.
00:28:16.660
The official answer was that he was that he hanged himself.
00:28:23.140
And I really do mean it for Cash to come out and say, you know what he could have said?
00:28:28.100
There are many people who believe he did not, in fact, kill himself.
00:28:30.100
However, the official stance of the FBI as of today is that he did hang himself based on the evidence we've received.
00:28:37.420
But just because he didn't give a good answer doesn't mean that I abandon or give up on Cash.
00:28:42.140
I'm telling you guys, Dan Bongino did not give everything up to go retire in the DOJ and then do nothing.
00:28:53.140
I want to say this because I don't want to diminish Cash.
00:29:08.520
We're back, of course, later in the day with more segments.
00:29:19.520
We were the biggest live show in the country yesterday.
00:29:27.300
By watching this show, you make every day a good day.
00:29:31.420
And I really appreciate that you guys watch the show, whether you like it or hate it, for whatever reason.
00:29:36.420
It means a lot to me, and I'm eternally grateful.
00:29:42.440
Thanks for hanging out, and we'll see you all next time.
