So that's where Trump, Joe Rogan, Charlie Kirk, they picked these men up, these young men.

They picked them up when they felt like no one identified with them at all.

And then we talk about the economy because the economy is important.

It's not improving.

And these young men identified the economy as a major, major issue for them.

38% saying that they're just getting by and not really saving any money.

31% report being homeless or near homeless at some point in the last five years.

There's 28% of them have more than one job.

And a majority of them say that rent, housing, affordability, day-to-day thinking, all of this is not secure.

And this is the environment that Trump walked into in 2024.

And he didn't win them by persuading them on tax policy or tariffs.

He validated their feelings and turned it into anger.

And he used that anger to promise disruption.

Disruption from a system that left them behind.

And he framed himself as this person that was willing to break that system and unrig the system against them.

Of course, just like with everything, the Trump promises didn't help.

Housing's not cheaper, rent's not cheaper, old-fashioned groceries are still expensive, job security sucks.

Trump didn't make their life any easier.

And so these young men, they're seeing the outcomes not match the branding that they were promised.

And this data is showing us that this economic instability and the fact that these men feel left behind...
