Valuetainment - ＂Democrats Con-Job＂ - Trump DESTROYS ‘Affordability Hoax’ Despite SURGING Costs

00:00:00.000 affordability keeps coming up and it's annoying a lot of different people tom

00:00:05.320 dan it's just so frustrating right now that that affordability topic on what they're saying

00:00:10.060 yesterday uh the president uh harry enton i want to go into right off the bat rob

00:00:15.620 harry enton shows this poll on what's going on with the younger generation okay trump's net

00:00:21.640 approval rating from ages 18 to 29 from february to now go ahead rob

00:00:28.820 as you know donald trump put in the best performance for a republican presidential

00:00:33.040 candidate among young voters since george w bush did back in the early 2000s and you know he started

00:00:38.540 off his term his net approval rating among voters under the age of 30 at plus 10 points hey that's

00:00:43.740 pretty gosh darn good but you come over now according to cbs news you gov this isn't falling

00:00:49.400 into the water this isn't going on the seas this is going into a deep dark black hole look at that

00:00:56.220 minus 46 points that is a shift on the net approval of 56 points in the wrong direction

00:01:03.400 since february my goodness gracious you know i love looking at these swings looking how the

00:01:08.380 electorate changes you rarely rarely ever see swings we look at a lot of polls we almost never see drops

00:01:14.360 no it's big this quickly yeah any sense of why what issues may be driving it you know look we've been 0.99

00:01:19.300 talking about it you were talking about it last segment with mr matt egan it's the economy stupid i mean

00:01:24.920 just take a look here age 18 to 29 on trump in the economy back in october of 2024 who did those under 0.93

00:01:31.300 the age of 30 trust harris or trump it was trump by 10 points according to the marquette university

00:01:35.620 law school paul look at where his net approval rating is now on the economy minus 52 points very similar

00:01:44.920 to what we saw in the cbs news you gov poll in terms of his overall drop in support on the net approval

00:01:50.660 and this minus 52 varies yeah it's just stunning it's just stunning i mean john is here with me

00:01:56.500 can pause it right there uh tom i'm going to come to you first then i'm coming to you then

00:02:00.740 go ahead tom why do you think this is happening well uh harry pointed it out well uh the number one

00:02:05.120 issue in the economy right now um there's actually a couple and i'm going to leave the iceberg for last

00:02:11.980 uh the people are looking for higher paying jobs they're looking for jobs where they come out of

00:02:17.080 college and i'm not talking about the kids that studied you know european art history and like

00:02:22.140 gosh what can i do with that that degree those are the kids that are mismatched and never should have

00:02:26.600 been studying those topics i'm talking about college graduates are saying it's increasingly difficult

00:02:31.760 for me to find a job even stem jobs we see layoffs happening but the number one thing is affordability

00:02:38.280 what happened under biden and we can talk about it all day long all the inflation was biden's fault

00:02:43.020 and inflation is back down well it is down it's down to three percent versus two percent so it's

00:02:47.820 down but what happened under all that inflation is cost of housing cost of insurance and those are

00:02:54.440 the top two car insurance uh affects the youth 1829 and housing and they refer to this everybody's

00:03:01.920 referring to it properly as affordability for the up-and-coming generation so they're like we supported

00:03:07.380 you in here now we're looking for change and we're looking for and we need to see change so that we can

00:03:14.280 afford to live and we can launch our our lives and careers and that's what's happening with this group

00:03:19.100 now the democrat messaging has been hammering through the media that all this is all trump's fault

00:03:25.880 inflation is trump's fault so there's a lot of stick that they're getting on that but the fact is

00:03:31.800 trump's policies are going to make things more affordable but it's not happening as fast

00:03:36.540 these people that are looking for housing and listening to launch their careers and lives

00:03:40.400 want and the dems are pushing it and the president can say it's a hoax by the dem it is a messaging

00:03:47.120 hoax but you have to counter it with messaging of your own and definitive things that help bring

00:03:52.680 prices back down dan how do you address this well i i don't like to disagree on the on the first topic

00:03:58.480 but uh my kid when he got out of undergraduate school my daughter took seven months to find a job 0.86

00:04:04.620 and our son took nine months to find a job uh and they both found jobs and it was a recessionary time

00:04:11.760 in both cases by making hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of phone calls hundreds and hundreds of

00:04:18.000 letters out going on dozens and dozens and dozens of interviews and the kids today because i have a

00:04:23.760 fairly large consortium that's got almost 40 companies and the kids go one of one interview and

00:04:29.660 they don't even call back to find out how they did so they the elitists of that generation in my

00:04:35.320 opinion are lazy i mean we don't have an affordability problem in my opinion all i know is

00:04:41.040 when i bought my first house and my dad bought his first house that we couldn't afford he went out and

00:04:45.280 worked overtime he got another job the kids don't want to have another job they expect right out of

00:04:50.660 school to make all kinds of uh horatio uh crazy money six figure money and they have no experience

00:04:56.540 whatsoever so i don't i the affordability to me is a matter of choice they're not looking hard enough

00:05:01.660 and not working hard enough to get a job now what do you think when you see a plus minus 62 points

00:05:06.500 right with 18 to 29 and let's just say the president comes up to you and says you guys are having dinner

00:05:12.820 it's just the two of you and he says dan what do you think we focus on to fix with affordability what

00:05:18.200 would you say well we sent the wrong message okay i believe that the uh the democrats and i don't

00:05:23.760 believe that they do much right but this particular case they're doing the messaging better than we

00:05:27.960 are and uh so we we have to up our game in messaging and i don't know who's advising the president

00:05:33.240 on giving this message but he's got to change and he's got to change full disclosure i knew the

00:05:38.420 president in another lifetime and uh he's not quick on change he's quicker now than he used to be and he

00:05:44.180 likes to be right as we all at this table know he likes to be right and he abhors people to tell

00:05:48.700 him he's not right okay so so messaging would be one issue got it uh on in regards to the kids you

00:05:56.060 said your kids one of them took seven months to get a job the other one took nine months to get a job

00:05:59.540 a little bit more persistent maybe that's a good message for the younger audience but some of the

00:06:04.140 some of the folks may say the following they may say and brand i'm going to come to you with this one

00:06:07.600 and see see what you think about this last night the mayor of miami who has been francis suarez

00:06:13.960 for the last i don't know eight 12 years i don't know how long he's been there he's been there for

00:06:18.700 quite some time and his father was also the previous mayor of miami for another eight or 12 year ex uh

00:06:25.140 javier if i'm not mistaken right and he famously tweeted at elan how can i help elan responds back hey

00:06:33.440 let's bring jobs to miami you know uh francis saying but last night the mayor who won last night

00:06:40.460 beating emilio gonzalez the conservative was a democrat named eileen higgins okay she won last

00:06:48.220 night in miami a member of the democratic party she previously served as a member of the miami-dade

00:06:54.500 county commission from 2018 to 2025 higgins ran in 2025 and defeated republican candidate emilio gonzalez

00:07:02.040 in a runoff making her the first woman ever and the first democrat since 1997 to be elected

00:07:10.340 we're talking 30 years right so you got miami just went from a conservative mayor to a liberal

00:07:17.180 mayor first time in 30 years you got new york goes from a liberal mayor adams to a democratic socialist

00:07:24.280 mayor mamdani two big markets that we're talking about brandon you just turned 30 yeah when you see

00:07:31.100 this happening you're a guy you know you got bachelor's and master's in national security you

00:07:34.880 went into school the right way you know and then shifted not wanted to go into national security

00:07:38.600 you wanted to get into business what do you think is going on here you think is it messaging is it

00:07:44.800 actual issues is it actual things that's bothering that younger audience that's sitting there wanting

00:07:50.520 to get their life started and saying hey man we got to do something about this what do you think is

00:07:54.200 going on yeah i i um have to agree and disagree with you dan so the first of all the job thing yeah

00:08:00.320 i agree you have to viciously attack that issue you have to you know apply like crazy you know i i did a

00:08:05.060 lot of crazy things to get here and you know i could tell that story but uh when it comes in

00:08:08.940 affordability like it's just an objective fact that it's a much different situation than it was when

00:08:13.040 you were say my age you know because the cost of living like like think about how much money we added

00:08:17.720 to the economy just in the last five years alone like we doubled the size of the money supply so you

00:08:22.440 know we always talk about how it took like two years of an average salary to buy an average price

00:08:25.660 house in the 70s today it takes like nine years of an average to buy an average price house so i know

00:08:30.420 they're like exceptional people are going to make it happen no matter what but it's like the

00:08:33.680 principle 20 people are like above average and 80 people are kind of just average people and

00:08:38.760 when those people can't get by with like just food housing and energy those basic things you know

00:08:44.960 that's when you risk socialism because like i think the like this the real pillar of a society like the

00:08:49.680 the foundation of a society is a strong middle class and if you don't have a strong middle class

00:08:52.960 then you start to have these like socialist tendencies so that's why i think we're seeing what we're

00:08:56.540 seeing in new york and miami and i don't think trump is handling it well because he's kind of

00:09:00.660 gaslighting by saying that the issue doesn't exist like it is a fact that it takes more than half of

00:09:05.520 an average salary to pay for like the basic essential things to live and that's not a good situation

00:09:09.020 well i'm not excuse me i'm not aware that it costs half uh of the um that's 50 years ago for me

00:09:17.340 i just turned 80 yeah i'm not using that as an excuse but the numbers every generation has a

00:09:23.940 reason why they're not happy with where they are economically going back to the 1900 uh and the uh

00:09:30.900 the fact that trump is one year younger than i am and a lot of the people that advise him are almost

00:09:36.960 his age there is a different reality it's like it's surreal and he's got his uh kushner who's appears

00:09:44.340 to be a very bright guy but he's a billionaire i mean these guys that are advising him aren't

00:09:49.460 30 years old uh struggling uh it's a very good point you're making and lot nick to the commerce

00:09:56.540 i really like the point that you're making because sometimes you know you you you'll have people

00:10:02.560 around you around your age and you're if you're not paying attention to what is going on with that

00:10:08.580 generation you're not in communication with them like even if he speaks to his son baron yeah baron

00:10:13.360 he's not the guy to speak to right it's and by the way this is why uh i believe the turning point

00:10:19.380 usa audience is very very important because they're the ones that are the 18 19 20 year olds coming up

00:10:25.500 that are going to school that are seeing the issues that are about to get married that are wanting to

00:10:30.500 buy a house that are wanting to have kids that are like listen i'm feeling it yeah i think there's a

00:10:34.940 i think tp usa could do a great job right now with their audience on running a survey

00:10:42.180 with their audience of the 16 to 29 18 to 29 and asking them questions to get some intel back from

00:10:50.480 that you see what i'm saying yeah because that's that's the audience they need to hear right on what

00:10:53.920 they're going through to to be able to figure this part out and again this is a big no matter what

00:10:59.760 anybody says if charlie kirk was here right now speaking to his younger audience what message would

00:11:05.640 he be giving to them right now to his turning point usa audience adam where are you at with this

00:11:10.200 because you're a miami guy you've been here your entire life minus the one year when you lived in

00:11:13.800 your dream destination addison texas with the beaches there well what what do you think is going

00:11:18.680 on here i'm with dan penny on this i think uh we have to stop focusing on the oval office and look in

00:11:24.640 the mirror and fix your life trump's not going to fix your life biden wasn't going to fix your life

00:11:28.720 obama the list goes on you have to fix your life everyone's complaining about affordability well you

00:11:34.760 know where it's pretty much affordable outside of every single major city in america it's called

00:11:40.120 supply and demand so yes if you're going to move to new york city yes if you're going to move to boston

00:11:43.900 yes if you're going to use the la san francisco miami number one city in the world at this point

00:11:48.680 yeah things are going to be a little bit more expensive because everyone's trying to move there

00:11:52.580 nobody's trying to move to bumble f or to des moines iowa everyone wants to move to the best

00:11:57.720 cities in the world that's like everyone wants to date the hottest chicks all girls want to date 1.00

00:12:01.720 the richest guys everyone lives in the best cities so miami just under mayor francis suarez just became

00:12:08.940 in my opinion the number one city in america if not the number one city in the world you're in america

00:12:13.840 you're in miami la's in decline san francisco's in decline new york's in decline miami's on the rise

00:12:19.520 dallas is on the rise certain uh southern cities on the rise listen uh if life is unaffordable and

00:12:26.500 you're young get a roommate there's no guarantee that oh i'm an american i get a house that's that's

00:12:32.560 bs so you may not be able to afford a house cool rent have a roommate so the affordability thing like 0.97

00:12:39.180 tom mentioned it's the economy stupid uh james carville it's always the economy it's always a 0.72

00:12:44.740 i'm with that pocket issues here's what i want you to think about here's what i want you to think 0.99

00:12:48.160 about tom i'm going to come to you next so here's first rob if you want to play the clip of trump

00:12:52.460 reacting to affordability and i'm going to come back to you adam if you can play this clip go for

00:12:56.060 it is a con job by the democrats they say afford i watched the other day where some very low iq

00:13:03.620 congresswoman talked about uh affordability affordability affordability she had no idea

00:13:10.340 their prices were much higher the word affordability is a democrat scam okay so that's the clip that he's

00:13:19.380 talking about and then he's give is this the talk yesterday you have or go ahead you know and i said

00:13:24.540 it the other day and a lot of people misinterpreted they say oh he doesn't realize prices i prices are

00:13:29.400 coming down very substantially but they have a new word you know they always have a hoax the new word is

00:13:35.340 affordability affordability so they look at the camera and they say this election is all about

00:13:42.560 affordability now they never talk about it they never talk thank you very much they say i'm not

00:13:49.180 allowed to run i don't know what the hell that's all about but that's okay he said four more years

00:13:54.240 you see the new hat we have four more years by the way while he's saying this gas prices dropped to

00:14:00.420 the lowest in december 2025 and the last time they were this low uh which is around three dollars

00:14:06.700 right now december 2025 was four years ago when trump was president 2021 that's gas prices right

00:14:12.300 but what i want you to think about is what he just said right now a minute ago dan said affordability

00:14:17.260 could be a messaging issue and then the other part also dan said which is you may need some of the

00:14:22.500 younger audience around you to get a pulse and see what they're going on what is it right now

00:14:26.460 national average gas price 294 rob can you go a year ago to see what the national

00:14:30.220 average was exactly a year ago uh of where was that but this is what i want you to think okay

00:14:35.840 so give me actual ideas because the part about the house it took three and a half times your salary to

00:14:44.140 buy a house 40 50 years ago it takes eight eight and a half times your salary today to buy a house

00:14:49.460 that's a real number okay so people are numbers again okay took around three and a half times your

00:14:54.420 salary to buy a house 50 ish years ago okay so you're making 20 grand a year you could buy a house

00:14:59.960 for 70 000 that's three and a half times today it's taking seven and a half to eight and a half

00:15:05.020 times salary you're making 70 000 here do the math you know 450 whatever you want to put there right

00:15:10.180 560 so those are real numbers car prices in america sky you know it was first time 50 000 average car

00:15:18.080 price right but then the income is not going up at the same levels right what do you do trump asks you

00:15:24.280 just purely cameras off you're just talking what do you think we can actually do not messaging what

00:15:29.760 do you think we can actually do to address a few things so as far as individual economy or the

00:15:35.880 affordability i want to find a way to make things a little bit more affordable for 18 to 29 year olds

00:15:41.380 give me specific feedback what do you say listen since covid the game has changed permanently with ai

00:15:48.020 technology we can't we're not playing by grandpa's old rules that i say this all the time the days of

00:15:53.980 i get a job i go to college get a job get out of the workforce work for the same company for 40 years

00:15:59.820 get my gold watch retire live on the system i live till 65 and retire so that that is so out the window

00:16:07.140 it's an outdated antiquated approach people are living longer affordability is an issue but affordability

00:16:13.160 has been an issue when the dot-com buzzle uh uh dot-com bust affordability was an issue right after

00:16:19.060 i graduated college 2008 that's not what i'm asking you no don't give the greatest hits what i'm asking

00:16:23.100 if you don't have it i'm going to go to town i'm telling you right now give me the ideas the ideas is

00:16:27.280 you have to change your own system no that's not what i want to buy a house that's not that's not what

00:16:31.800 that's the problem that's not what i want we still think they're going to buy a house so then i'm

00:16:34.960 going to come to you tom you're not i'm not asking you that i understand what you're saying

00:16:38.320 everybody in this room is self-sufficient everybody this is not this room that we're talking about

00:16:43.800 everybody in this room gets up pays their bills takes care of their family takes care of all the

00:16:48.080 stuff that they need to do we find ways to improve ourselves this is not this you just saw plus minus

00:16:53.380 of 62 points tom he asks you you can be an analytical thinker what one two three steps do you give to do

00:17:02.540 things with this i'll give you three steps but first i'll give you the one simple stat the day

00:17:08.300 from the day he was inaugurated biden 2021 january of 21 to the day trump was inaugurated january of 25

00:17:17.320 the rents in miami went up 38 percent in those four years and that is from numbers from the miami

00:17:26.680 dade commission so this is self-reported by a democrat group who probably is rounding it down a

00:17:33.380 little bit i saw numbers that said it was really closer to 60 percent in with young professionals

00:17:39.060 that were making 75 to 80 000 a year professional job coming to miami looking for a place to rent

00:17:44.820 not a white picket fence not to do all that so in other words we have incredible cost and they have

00:17:50.600 insurance that's real so don't use the word affordable just say how do we bring down insurance

00:17:56.860 cost and find affordable housing for people that want to make a miami great a financial analyst and

00:18:03.120 want to earn 80 grand and move down here pat here's what we need we need very active engagement to reduce

00:18:11.140 the red tape and regulation on builders and we need to the city to open up there is city land that is

00:18:19.020 sitting in previous industrial areas that is still owned by the city that was long-term leases and stuff

00:18:24.060 they need to release some of that land so we saw in dallas how they built a central town frisco a lot

00:18:32.700 of apartments and a lot of nice areas for people who are going to work there we saw central town

00:18:37.560 downtown dallas we saw the central town in addison remember those pat of course these were planned

00:18:42.860 areas where someone like you you know making 75 80 grand a year getting this start and living in good

00:18:50.600 safe affordable housing and yes it is going to be more expensive then so i think number one my number

00:18:57.120 one point pat is the city has to take an active engagement with the entrepreneurs that are building

00:19:03.640 affordable housing number one and number two the state insurance commissioner and that's needs to get

00:19:09.400 their act together because the the regulations restrictions you put on insurance companies causes

00:19:15.460 too many to leave and then there's not enough insurance and the price goes up people so i need

00:19:20.620 the state on insurance i need the city on building permits and i need them to start talking about that

00:19:27.160 so that people can hear oh someone's out there and by the way if there's more units out there

00:19:32.340 then the relative rents are going to come down thanks to supply that's what they that's what i would be

00:19:37.980 pushing on if i was mayor because those stats are real so why don't we why don't we think about this

00:19:42.560 okay when when dan when we are uh uh uh in our and brandon you could go to this one as well but i'll

00:19:49.340 come to you first so let's think about our top expenses when you're 25 years old to 30 years old

00:19:57.260 it's going to be rent or car payment right would you put anything above that it's probably going to

00:20:02.780 be are you married you're not married yet 25 okay housing transportation and then food yeah okay so

00:20:08.480 in that order would you say in that order housing housing transportation and then food okay so

00:20:15.680 address each address each so if you got a housing how do we address it build the car how do you

00:20:22.400 address it so tom just said housing incentivize which we've talked about builders to build smaller

00:20:27.380 homes because we're no longer building starter homes two-bedroom three-bedroom you've talked about
