You guys are going to love this episode. Make sure you check out Cameron below.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Make sure you subscribe to the Adam Mockler feed and watch this. Trump is losing Gen Z fast and it's a sight to behold, but we all kind of knew it was going to happen. My name is Cameron Kasky with Bulwark. I'm joined today by my brother, Adam Mockler. Adam, did you see this coming? It was patently obvious when Trump made a bunch of campaign promises that were all inherently contradictory and impossible to execute on.
Starting point is 00:00:46 And what is it? A 44 point drop in popularity among Gen Z. I mean, to be honest, he gaslit Gen Zers during the campaign. He gaslit the country and made all of these economic promises, promises to end wars. He gets into office, obviously doesn't have the acumen to enact any of this, to end any of these wars, but he's made it worse. 70% of Americans think he should focus more on lowering prices. Meanwhile, he's screaming about Obama and he's enacting tariffs worldwide.
Starting point is 00:01:13 So let's talk about some of the issues. Yeah. And he's also definitely part of a huge pedophile network. CBS News poll says Trump's approval trends among ages 18, 29. Early February, 55 percent approve, 45% disapprove. But now in July, we see 28% approve, as you said, a 44 point drop and 72% disapprove. That is not a marginal error. That is a pretty dramatic drop. And I want to talk about why Gen Z is changing tune on it.
Starting point is 00:01:44 And I also want to talk about why I think is changing tune on it. And I also want to talk about why I think the reasons Trump won and the reasons Kamala Harris lost are not necessarily the same exact thing. But first off, it's like, what do you think is the biggest issue he's losing people on? Because I don't think Gen Z's Trump shift was as policy related as it was kind of cultural and generally ideological or whatever. But I'm interested in knowing what you think if people were pulled the top issue he's fucking up on is. In order to answer that question, why he's being increasingly unpopular, we have to go back and answer the original question that you were going to pose, which is why was he popular in the first place?
Starting point is 00:02:28 Why was he even above water by a few percentage points? That is because Gen Zers, a lot of people in the country want a change agent, wants someone that can push against the status quo. I think Kamala ran a pretty solid campaign. I covered it. I was, I was, you know, talking about her every single day and how I enjoyed her policies. I do it. But like, she didn't run as a change agent. There was even a moment where she said she wasn't going to be significantly different than Biden. And that went viral. Meanwhile, Donald Trump obviously lied every single day said he was going to shake up the system. He was going to release the files and end the wars and he was going to do tariffs, which nobody else has done in 100 years. So he was
Starting point is 00:03:04 going to shake everything up. So Jen Zier's thought, huh, there is a change agent who was in the spaces that I watch. I mean, they watched like Joe Rogan. We watch like Theo Vaughn or whatever. And then when you begin to watch that Trump is on there, not really using his radical rhetoric, but kind of just toning it down a bit. So Jen Zier's thought they were gaslit and they're thinking that maybe Trump would lower the cost of housing.
Starting point is 00:03:24 That's what he said. Now, obviously, we didn't believe that, but some people did. As time's gone on, what has he done? He's not ended a single war. Housing prices are going to go up because of the tariffs on lumber coming from Canada. You can look at Nonu Wars, which he struck Iran. He said he was going to release the files. He's only created a deeper swamp that can now cover up the files.
Starting point is 00:03:46 And he also doesn't even understand his own war policy because he said he was going to end Russia-Ukraine in one day. Obviously that didn't happen. He was scrambling a lot on the matter doing his we'll figure out in two weeks thing, two weeks after two weeks after two weeks. And now you see he's taking this shift towards maybe supporting Ukraine a little bit more and saying that Putin is kind of like a lying snake and a fake friend and everything like that. And it's just so surprising to me because I knew that
Starting point is 00:04:16 Trump wasn't going to end Russia Ukraine. But if and when that was the case, I thought that he was just going to take this aggressively Putin stance. But now he's like, wait a second, I got hoodwinked. And I think this might be one of the most prime examples of Trump not being able to hide realizing that he got screwed over in front of everybody. Like this is one of Trump's most transparent, I got duped moments. But it's interesting that you say all that about the change aids and stuff. It kind of brings to mind the Zoran Cuomo race, where you see Zoran obliterate Cuomo and you look at just the basic idea of the campaign. And you've got one potential mayor saying, I want to change things in this city. And then you've got Andrew Cuomo running on the idea that everything is actually working and I'm
Starting point is 00:05:03 just going to keep it that way. There was no real sense of what he was going to do to change anything. But now I'm wondering if Trump is losing Gen Z, how can he win them back? How can Trump win Gen Z back? I honestly think what Gen Z wants is so antithetical to what Trump wants and it's just impossible. So part of the reason why Gen Z was able to be swayed over is because during some of our most formative years, sometimes people weren't paying attention.
Starting point is 00:05:31 So people who just turned 18 in the 2024 election, they were 10 when Trump was first elected. So during those formative years, they were probably in middle school, high school, as we were, I was paying attention, and I'm sure you were because we're politically inclined, but a lot of Gen Zers were just kind of entering politics, voting for the first time and thought maybe Trump would be this change agent. But now we're
Starting point is 00:05:51 seeing him in action. And he's so antithetical to what we want, because we want a better future for ourselves. He wants to conserve things. He wants a regressive policy that only helps him and his billionaire friends. Like I was, when I was debating Kevin O'Leary, the billionaire on Shark Tank, he kept talking about, I was debating him at CNN, he's from Shark Tank. Do you guys, if you want on Shark Tank to just in front of all the sharks, go out with Kevin O'Leary, maybe he'll invite you over.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Debating them, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a great clip, by the way. It seemed like you were fucking vibing up there. Like you seemed like you were having a great time. But the point is, and I wish I would have been able to make this on stage, but I was thinking about it more after, he kept bringing up the stock market over and over and over, saying he's doing great.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Check your portfolio, look at my portfolio, and it's like, dude, you're missing the point. Most Americans don't have $500 to cover an emergency, and you're sitting up here on TV talking about how well your portfolio is doing. So when that relates to Gen Zers, it's like Trump and his billionaire friends want to gloat about how much they're benefiting from this. But dude, the cost of living is going to go up.
Starting point is 00:06:52 70% of Americans, like I said, want him to focus more on prices and Trump is currently taking Qatari jets and promoting Trump coin. One of the interesting things to me about how many people Trump is losing, especially in Gen Z, but really across the board, is the fact that he's also losing the podcast bros who are so credited with giving him the victory in 2024. Anyway, I mean, you've got Joe Rogan going after him about ICE. You've got Theo von talking about Palestine. You've got what's his name, the guy with the stupid mustache,
Starting point is 00:07:28 Andrew Schultz, Andrew Schultz talking about how AOC, Bernie and Zoran are the America first candidates. And it's like Trump's massive cultural victory has blown up in his face so aggressively he can't even hold the people who aren't policy experts. It's not just the people who look at his face so aggressively, he can't even hold the people who aren't policy experts. It's not just the people who look at his tariffs and say this is a disaster who are turning against Trump. It's also just the,
Starting point is 00:07:52 it's also the people who are only in it for the vibes. Yeah, I agree. I would not underestimate the extent to which ICE and the immigration policy has affected Trump's popularity. There's another poll showing that he's dropped 10 to 12 points in popularity just over the past few months on immigration. And that's supposed to be his biggest issue.
Starting point is 00:08:09 That was people. That's the thing is like even in 2016, like this man ran three presidential campaigns, basically on getting rid of the immigrants. And then he does exactly what he says he was going to do. And people are like, well, that's not what I wanted. There's a difference between what people think they want and what they actually want a lot of the times. You see this with like universal health care.
Starting point is 00:08:32 There's a lot of polling where like 90% of Americans want some form of universal. It's like 80 to 90%, some outrageous number. But then when you get into it and you're like, this necessitates actually doing this and that, people's views on it change a little bit. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try, but there's a difference between what people say they want and what they vote for versus what they're actually willing to give up.
Starting point is 00:08:52 So now that they're actually seeing the on the ground consequences of ICE hitting this quota of 3000 deportations a day or sorry, 3000 detainments a day that will lead to deportations. They're not happy with it because to hit 3000, you're not just going to hit criminals. There's not 3000 criminals to retain a day. You're going to start to hit the farm workers. You're going to start to hit the 82 year old grandpa. That's a real story, by the way, an 82 year old grandpa got f-ing deported. His family was like, what the hell?
Starting point is 00:09:17 And then the most disgusting part, and I keep making this point, but the most disgusting part is when people who are asylum seekers and following the proper procedures show up to their courthouse for their day in court. They've been waiting for a while. They're like, yes, I want to follow the rules in this country. We show up and deport them. Not we, but I, the Trump administration. It's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I was going to say, man, you should really stop doing that in that case. You should go back to debating Mr. Wonderful. That's been my question sort of is like, you know, it's very nice to see the zoomers kind of waking up to the Trump stuff. If only it had happened like, you know, eight months beforehand, it would be in a better situation. But like, or honestly, like, God, it's been so fucking long. I saw it was the one year anniversary of the Harris campaign the other day.
Starting point is 00:10:04 And it really put into perspective, like, oh, she had no time to do this. That was so crazy. But anyway, Trump loses the zoomers and I'm starting to wonder what little goodies he's going to try to bribe us with to get us back. Because when Trump loses a base, when he when he fucks up, excuse me, Fs up with a crowd. He normally tries to give everyone sort of a present. It's this kind of MAGA tactic of cut people, watch them say, ow, give them a tiny little band-aid,
Starting point is 00:10:39 and make it act like you did something nice for them. So, like, maybe he's gonna do something like what Kamala Harris pledged to do, you know, uh, 15, $20,000 for people trying to buy a starter home. Maybe he's gonna try to make some sort of present for Gen Z. It was attached to the big, uh, ugly bill, the, um, no tax on tips thing. That was supposed to be sort of like
Starting point is 00:10:59 a generous gift to people. Do you think he's gonna try to sweeten the deal for us a little bit and say, hey, Zoomers, here's a present from Donald Trump so you can remember how much I love you? No, I don't think he cares. I honestly think he's already using a meat shield and it's Obama. He's literally trying to put Obama in front of him by saying like, oh, Obama is a treasonous trader, but it's really uniquely weak. Like if you're in the bottom 10 percentile of IQ in the country, maybe you'll believe
Starting point is 00:11:24 it. Maybe you'll be like, huh, Obama treasonous. A decade and a half later. I'm glad Trump found that out right when the Epstein files were getting beginning to gain steam. But for the rest of the country, like the other 90 percent will be like, wait a minute, why is Trump screaming about Obama in the Oval Office when Obama was quite a good president? He's obviously flawed in some ways, but he was quite a good president. A great guy, very charismatic. I just don't know how this Epstein-Obama distraction is supposed to play out. You can tell that he's intentionally trying to divert people away. It's like sleight of hand, like a magician.
Starting point is 00:11:57 But Gen Z is not going to fall for that. We don't froth at the mouth for Obama conspiracy theories. A lot of my Trump apologist Zoomer friends, not necessarily pro-Trump, but certainly not, you know, like making Trump vids on YouTube like us type of guys. Even they're like, this Epstein stuff is pretty crazy, right? And I'm just sitting here like we knew, we've known this. Like, I don't know. Anyway, leave a comment down below
Starting point is 00:12:22 on how you think Donald Trump might win back the Zoomers. Adam, thanks so much for joining me today. Bless you, sir. Keep up the great work. We'll talk soon. Let's keep ripping it. Thank you, man.
