“It’s a coming attraction of what is coming next,” Kirk told Tucker Carlson. “Zohran Mamdani the…Muslim communist that is running for mayor in New York City…most people are missing the point of really what this is. This is another distress signal by young people to say, ‘Hey, if you’re not going to fix our life, economically, we’re going to get very radical politically.” …
“Let’s take a step back. President Trump won the youth vote in many states across the country,” Kirk stated. “12, 13 years ago when I started Turning Point, if you would have told me that a Republican running for the presidency would be winning the youth vote in Michigan and in Arizona, I’d say, ‘No way.’ It’s an incomprehensible accomplishment of what President Trump was able to do.”
Kirk then pointed out that Trump was able to do this, especially with young men, because they were trying to grab attention from their leaders.
“Donald Trump was a distress signal,” Kirk said. “The rise of Mamdani is just another iteration of this only from the left.”

Many folks are not able to move out from under their parent’s wing because of the expenses everyone else takes for granted.
The incremental costs of eco regulations for new appliance and vehicles, or what not, are not as noticeable when you are already established, but when first starting out it’s incredibly problematic.
This is not a recent development. Mandami just got in office. For decades government has been making things more expensive.
It won’t matter one iota how much Trump manages to Doge and anti-fraud the government. In spite of that, has the Congress reduced the budget? -Nope.
Charlie Kirk was correct. Trump and Mandami represent a cry for help from a new generation to some degree. They also represent something else, a difference if philosophy.
Trump is a cry for economic future werein both political parties have shipped jobs overseas and insourced jobs to a point where young people can’t get started. Trump was a hope to turn a ‘stay in mom and dad’s basement and/or live off generational wealth’ to ‘I can get a job and take care of myself’. These individuals reached out to conservatism to try to show them a way to stand on their own. These people want to contribute and be productive, but need an environment that protects jobs and business for success, they are more like traditional conservatives.
Mandami represents a cry for a economic future werein people can do the wrong things, not try, and have the Nany State take care of them. They have no intention of taking responsibilities for their past decisions, nor future decisions, and expect other people to cover their bills and mistakes with hard work. They want to take from those that work, build, and create because they either don’t want to contribute and/or deal with the decisions/mistakes they have made. They call them ‘liberals’, and they have flocked to the democratic party because they have told them that they don’t have to be responsible. The ‘new’ Democrats have told them they can ‘take’ from others using the government power, so they don’t have to face accountability.
The new ‘democrat’ is not the old democrat, it’s something much different and even democrats can see that.
Mamdami will start arresting the millionaires and billionaires until their morale starts to improve.
“Hey, if you’re not going to fix our life, economically, we’re going to get very radical politically.”
Yes. Yes. Yes.
The only thing Trickling Down from Boomers is the piss on the heads of young people.
There will be real change, not a Communist change, but real change to Freedom. As Kirk notes, Mamdani is not the answer, but a key indicator of the problem.
You think Gen Z gives a crap about the value of the US Dollar when they have none? Value of houses when they have none?
They aren’t part of the system so they have nothing to lose.
Gonna be scalps galore across this fruited plane.

Is 25% of the population sick from a pandemic with over 600,000 of them dying like when my parents were infants? Is the unemployment rate still 25% like when my they graduated high school? Or only 18% like when they got out of college? Are 100,000 young people still dying fighting fascists overseas every year like when they were newlyweds? Are gasoline and other commodities still rationed?
Are young people today subject to a draft and dying in a foreign war at the rate of 1,000 per month, like when my brother graduated from high school? Are blacks and other minorities still subjected to the sane racial discrimination that existed back then?
Are interest rates on home loans still 18.5% like when I graduated from college? Is the inflation rate 10-13% like it was then? Is the unemployment rate still over 8%?
Did my generation inherit $100 trillion like today’s youth will? Assuming of course they don’t vote in full communist insanity.
Agreed. I worked my ass off, and so did most of my friends. That said, with our middle class gutted, the younger generations I think is rightfully pissed about the state of things. “The Boomers” are a scapegoat, distracting from the forces and people actually to blame.
you poor little baby, the big bad boomers have been mean to you.
It isn't rocket surgery.
These movements are strongest in blue cities that have been run by Democrats for decades. Why? Because degradation of economic vitality was always inevitable when those places kept moving left.
To put it differently, we cannot fix their lives economically if they are going to remain in leftist enclaves. It is literally impossible.
Move to Texas. Or Florida. Or wait for your own cities and states to hit rock bottom because they won't ever change politically until there is no other option remaining.
It’s an IQ test.
Regrettably, some of these ‘youths’ will become future leaders.
There must be a strategy to contend with this defective ideological pipeline.
I miss Charlie. In a world of phonies (I’m looking at you Tucker and Candace), Charlie was the real deal. Passionate, sincere, intelligent, driven, and Christ-focused.
Totally agree. I’m so tired of every Millennial and Gen Zer blaming their hard life on Boomers. When I graduated from college, we were in the middle of the OPEC induced recession. Factories were closing everywhere, gas prices were rising, interest rates on homes were 13%, inflation was double digits as was unemployment. As a White male I was actually told in an interview that if I was Black, Hispanic or female they could easily get me interviews with any major company, but as a White male my opinions were limited. The country was emerging from a very unpopular war, and we had just gone through Watergate. But you know what we survived. We bitched, but then we took whatever job we could find worked hard, started families, paid off our student loans and eventually bought homes. We often worked two jobs to make ends meet and it was normal for both the husband and wife to work. But most eventually made it to the other side and did all right. We didn’t expect our parents to take care of us. We didn’t look to government to solve our problems. In fact, most understood it was government policies that were causing our problems.
The one failing we did have is we raised a bunch of everyone gets a trophy whiners. Because both parents usually worked, we let the government schools raise our kids. And when we were available, we were too lax and too free with the goodies. Our children grew up with friends not parents. The result of that? Kids who do not particularly like us, blame us for all their problems and expect us to take care of them forever. Now they have kids and they are even worse.
Are there problems in the country that make it hard for younger people to make it on their own, yes. But they are no worse than what I and others in the Bommer generation faced in the 70’s. if they really want to lay blame, place it where it belongs, at the feet of democratic and Rino government policies that gutted American industry, allowed an influx of illegals that take entry level jobs and fill up cheap housing and increased the cost of a reasonable education to a point where most kids have to go into lifelong debt to obtain one. Communism is not the answer, but its siren song of a wonderful life built on the hard work and wealth of others is alluring to those who have nothing or don’t want to do the things necessary to get the things they think they deserve.
The Boomers are slowly dying off. Wonder who the Millennials and Z’s will blame when we’re gone?
Mamdani and his family are agents of London-Davos.
Yes, its that simple.
His family were standard 5th-columnist, colonial divide-and-rule Muslim south Asians in Uganda
After drifting around the Commonwealth, the Mamdani family landed in left-wing Columbia and and Hollywood, and a mere 8 years after becoming a citizen, Zohran is Mayor of NYC
There is nothing organic or coincidental about his rise to power.
Socialism will always look attractive to the young. When you’re struggling to get by and have little, the promise of the government taking from those that do seems like a legal way of “making things fair”. It’s only as they earn more, observe how horribly the government manages things, build some of their own wealth, do they realize “not fair”.
Then the communists go further, all the wealth should be confiscated and distributed to everyone, not realizing that wealth requires constant production which disappears when the reward is removed - resulting only with a common standard of living for all, equal misery.

Or as the old saying goes ,” “If you’re not a liberal at 20 you have no heart, if not a conservative at 40 you have no brain”
