About this Episode

Gen Z swung for Trump, then turned around and gave Mamdani New York. Sean Griswold says both votes came from the same instinct.

In this episode, I sit down with Sean Griswold, a Turning Point USA chapter VP at Jacksonville University and a Restoration News fellow, about why our generation keeps moving. We get into the "it factor," affordability as a word nobody has defined, Social Security running out before we ever see it, and what the response to Charlie's death showed us about our own neighbors.

He also makes the case for voting the best candidate instead of the ideal one, with the midterms coming on November 3rd.
