These are people making, I think, an intelligent decision, people with a lot of money, to say, in an inflationary environment, we want our money

in homes, but it's horrible for young people.

And to also connect this to my polling, I just did a huge poll over 2,000 Gen Z voters, 18 to 25-year-old voters across America.

And I asked specifically about their aspirations on housing, because I've noticed a lot of people my age, a lot of middle-aged people will tell me, hey, Cortez, don't worry about young people buying homes.

They don't want to.

They're a different generation.

Well, maybe that's true for some of the millennials, the folks in their 30s.

But this Gen Z, which is much more right-wing, much more like Gen X,

With Gen Z, 18 to 25, we asked them, is it important to you to buy a home in your 20s or 30s?

88% of them said it's very important.

Steve, you know in polling, we never get anything near 90%.

You can't get 90% of people to agree that next Thursday is Thanksgiving.

But 9 out of 10 18- to 25-year-olds say it's very important to them to buy a home in their 20s and 30s.

We know statistically right now that's incredibly unlikely.

They're not going to be able to do that, that goal that they claim is important.

So it's something we clearly have to work on as a country, as a society, policy, all of it.

That's a sad number.

Let's get that number ticking back down, which means that the style of prosperity is going back up.

Peace appears imminent for Ukraine, thanks to President Trump.

And elections there couldn't come at a better time because Zelensky is caught up in a growing, intense corruption scandal that reaches right to his top inner circle and presidential office.
