Key Discussion Points & Timestamps

1. Gen Z’s Unexpected Support for Trump—And Their Swift Disillusionment

00:00–02:22

• Key Stat: Trump is reportedly “34 points underwater” with young voters according to the Cook Political Report.
• Notable Quote:

2. What Issues Are Actually Driving Gen Z’s Angst?

02:23–05:00

• Key Insight:
  • “People are frustrated. I think that's one of the reasons why Donald Trump got 46% of the youth vote... I don't think the majority of those young people are people that would say they are conservatives or even Republicans. They are frustrated with this system, and Donald Trump was the counterculture candidate.” – Rep. Maxwell Frost [04:31]
• Memorable Moment:
  • The feeling of being lied to: “We were told our whole lives, go to school, get good grades, go to college, you can go into debt because when you get out of college... It's all BS. It's like we were completely lied to.” – Rep. Maxwell Frost [03:33]

  • Stresses environmental and community impacts as key concerns with AI data center proliferation.
• Notable Quotes:
  • “I'm very concerned about the fact that we don't know what's coming. We need to set up our government to ensure that the basic things we believe should be a right of all Americans are provided.” – Rep. Maxwell Frost [08:35]
  • “If we were to do a moratorium for a year, it would only halt things for like a month... the speed at which these companies are going is insane.” – Rep. Maxwell Frost [09:55]

  • Need for health care (Medicare for all) to be de-coupled from employment.
  • Stresses tying moratoria and guardrails to actual legislative outcomes, not arbitrary timelines.

5. The Path Forward for Democrats

Summary of Insights

• Gen Z’s Political Attitudes: Deep economic frustration, feelings of betrayal by both political parties, and a sharp skepticism of “the system” drive much of Gen Z’s volatility in the electorate. Their support of Trump in 2024 was less about affinity for conservative politics and more about a desperate hope for disruption.
• Key Issues:
  • Day-to-day concerns (like food and housing insecurity) override culture wars or traditional hot-button topics.
  • The job market feels unstable as AI may erase newly essential skills almost overnight.
• Democratic Opportunity: If progressives focus on direct, material policy (federal jobs guarantee, robust health care access), they can re-engage young voters.
• AI Regulation: Young lawmakers like Frost favor comprehensive regulation that considers environment, community, and worker protection, and urge swift, decisive legislative action—skeptical of Congress’s capacity to act quickly enough.

Transcript

[Jane Coastin]

Foreign It's Friday, March 27th. I'm Jane Kostin and this is what a day. The show that finds it inspiring that President Donald Trump will be the first president to put his signature on US currency in more than 160 years. We've had some self absorbed presidents since 1861. I'm looking at you, Warren Harding. But Trump, as usual, is reaching new heights. On today's show, Trump reveals Iran's so called gift to the U.S. he also said he got $5 under his pillow from the tooth fairy. And if Trump has you feeling some type of way, now is a chance to have your voice heard at a no Kings event tomorrow. But let's start with young people, a category of Americans which sadly no longer includes me. Young voters are one of many groups that pushed Trump back into the White House in 2024. Some researchers saw this as a potentially massive realignment with game changing implications for our politics group. Were young people traditionally a liberal cohort, moving to the right for real a year and change later? I think we can safely say, nah, Trump's polls are in the basement with pretty much everyone. But with young voters, Trump is 34 points underwater, according to the Cook Political Report's poll aggregator. And those polls were taken before Trump launched a war with Iran, a war most young people oppose. It's no wonder that one fresh faced attendee of the Conservative Political Action Conference, also known as CPAC, wasn't feeling so great about the GOP's chances in November. He spoke to CNN on Thursday.

[Steve]

I think they would get destroyed in the midterms. I just, I get the vibe a lot of people I knew who just

[Representative Maxwell Frost]

voted for Trump because they thought it

[Steve]

was cool in like high school are

[Representative Maxwell Frost]

just now just being like, I can't stand the guy.

[Jane Coastin]

Now here's my question and yours too, probably. Why do young voters trust Trump in the first place? Well, if you were 18 in 2024, voting in your first presidential election, Donald Trump had been a part of your political life since you were nine years old. And when Trump promised to bring down the cost of living, remember all the talk about groceries? A lot of young Americans believed him. But now they're pretty pissed off. So what should Democrats do to reach young voters where they're at? To find out, I spoke to Florida Democratic Representative Maxwell Frost. He's the first member of Gen Z to be elected to Congress. Representative Frost, welcome back to what a Day.

[Representative Maxwell Frost]

Thank you. Thanks for having me on.

[Jane Coastin]

Something I've been thinking about and noticing obviously is that young people a swath of young people, independent young people, helped to elect President Trump in 2024. But now young people are some of the loudest voices expressing their distaste for the President's actions. You are the only Gen Z representative in Congress. What are you hearing from your friends, people around you, young people, about their concerns right now?

[Representative Maxwell Frost]

You know, interesting thing is, I think a lot of times, you know, in politics, people think young folks have like a different set of issues that they care about. But what I've found is young people don't have a different set of issues they care about. They care about the same things everyone cares about, but they see it through a different lens and the way it impacts them might feel and seem a little different. And I'll give you an example. I started a satellite office on a college campus, University of Central Florida in my district. And I think, okay, we're have a lot of young people asking about social issues and canceling student debt or getting through student debt, stuff like that. And we do have a lot of that. But actually, you want to know the top two issues? The top two issues on our college office are people who come and say, I'm hungry and, and I don't have money for food. So like food insecurity, I couldn't afford my meal plan this year. I don't have any money to eat. Are there any resources for me? And then number two, housing insecurity, people who are either homeless or they had to move out of their apartment or they were priced out. Sounds pretty familiar, right? Like this is what everybody's going through in the entire country is just young people are disproportionately impacted by a lot of this because we don't haven't accumulated a bunch of wealth that we have to help get us through these hard times. And a lot of young people don't have full time jobs with benefits. And so there's a lot of issues that compound that create this environment where you feel like you've been lied to. Like we were told our whole lives, go to school, get good grades, go to college, you can go into debt because when you get out of college, you'll have a good enough job to pay off all the debt and then you'll be able to buy a house. And it's all bs. It's like we were completely lied to and people are frustrated. And I think that's one of the reasons why Donald Trump got 46% of the youth vote.

[Jane Coastin]

Right.

[Representative Maxwell Frost]

Which is the most we've seen a Republican get in modern history. But the thing about it is, I don't think the majority of those young people are people that would say they are conservatives or even Republicans. I think those are people who are frustrated with. With this system. And Donald Trump was the person running against. They was the counterculture. And so he was able to garner a lot of the young people. And so the good news in that is that we can still win them back if we meet the moment with the policies that we're putting forward.

[Jane Coastin]

It's so interesting to hear you talk about that, because I graduated from college during the Great Recession, and I remember those being, like, the primary issues we were facing. Like all these companies were failing, everybody was losing their jobs. And it's really tough for me to see that one of the major challenges, again, young people are facing is a stagnant job market. What can the government realistically do to support young Americans as they navigate such an uncertain economy?

[Representative Maxwell Frost]

There's a lot of different things we can do. I mean, I think number one is we have to do a lot more work in supporting different paths for young people as they graduate high school. College is important. It can be a path for a lot of people. But how are we helping to get people into apprenticeships with unions, right, and getting people the skills they need to go into the trades, other jobs like that? I mean, the fact of the matter is there were a lot of young people that just 10 years ago were told, go learn how to code and go become like a software engineer and you'll have a job forever. And now because of new technological advances and AI and stuff, that those jobs are being completely decimated. And so the question is, what are we doing? What resources are we putting in to help with job skills training, helping people who spent all this money getting a degree and getting an education that might not be as useful right now, and helping them move them to other work as well. But, you know, I think the bigger part of this is I think we really need to be talking about what a federal jobs guarantee looks like for all people in this country, especially as technology continues to advance and especially as we don't know the answers to everything. You know, they talk about AI, for instance. We don't know what kind of jobs will be impacted the most in two years and three years and four years. We just don't know. And so what we have to do as legislators is figure out how do we prepare for that, not knowing exactly what it is to. There's a lot of work that needs to be done in this country, right, in terms of energy, in terms of infrastructure, et cetera, let's put people to work. And I think that's a popular thing that we can do and it would be helpful.

[Jane Coastin]

Yeah. And you mentioned AI, and one of the threats or potential threats to new job seekers is AI. On Wednesday, Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez introduced a bill to put a moratorium on new AI data centers until, quote, strong national safeguards are put in place. You've expressed your support for the idea. What AI safeguards would you like to see?

[Representative Maxwell Frost]

The moratorium, I think, is an interesting idea. I did express support for it. However, I will say the more I've looked into it, it seems to be that, you know, if we were to do a moratorium for a year, it would really only halt things for like a month if that, just because of the speed at which AI is being number one funded and the speed at which these companies are going. And so the whole point of it is to try to halt things as Congress legislates. But it's like, do we think Congress will come up with AI regulation in a year? I don't know. I don't feel too good about that.

[Jane Coastin]

I also don't feel very good about that.

[Representative Maxwell Frost]

Representative yeah, yeah. So I'm not saying no to the idea now. I'm just saying it's like things we have to think about that might be good, but what else? And I think on the data center part of things, obviously the top concerns are impacts to the environment, obviously kind of the macro environment, like our humanity and our species and global warming, etc. But also just the environment of communities that they exist in, and then also energy costs going up for those same communities. And we've actually seen a lot of state legislatures across the country try to move forward legislation to ensure that any additional burden isn't felt by the actual ratepayers and by people in those communities. But those companies have to pay for any hikes that go up as well. I think that's like something we need to do to make sure people aren't paying more for these data centers and also that we do more to mitigate the fact that they're bad for the environment. I think those two things are really important, but I think, like the issue is even it's just a lot bigger than that as well, because I'm very concerned about the fact that we don't know what's coming. We need to set up our government to ensure that the basic things that we believe should be a right of all Americans are, are provided. Right. Like Medicare for all is one of the most important things we can do with the ambiguity of the future in the job market. Why? Because your health care should not be connected to your job. It should be connected to the fact that you're a human that's alive in this country right now. Right. That's one thing. The federal jobs guarantee is another one of them. So we do need to have common sense guardrails on AI and we need to get them passed. I'm just concerned about Congress's ability to actually do it and have it not written by some company.

[Jane Coastin]

And just to go back to a point you made earlier to clarify, how would a year long moratorium only slow things down for a month?

[Representative Maxwell Frost]

Part of the argument on that is that a lot of these data centers already exist and a lot of these companies would try to build them out outside of the jurisdiction of the United States to continue what they're doing. And so it might not have the full impact that we're, that we're thinking it might have. I'm not saying that's a good reason not to do it or, you know what I mean. I'm just saying there might be some other places we need to look at in terms of keeping things at bay as we figure out what kind of legislation we're putting forward. And I haven't read the bill that they put forward, but it shouldn't be placed on a timetable like one year, two years, three years. But it would have to be connected to our product, like us legislating on it. That way it puts pressure on us to actually get something out the door. Because I just feel like if you put a year, two years or three years on it, nothing will get done.

[Jane Coastin]

Right?

[Representative Maxwell Frost]

So if the whole point of it is to add pressure on Congress to legislate on it, I think the best way to do it is connect it to us actually passing some sort of legislation.

[Jane Coastin]

Representative Frost, as always, thank you so much for joining me.

[Representative Maxwell Frost]

Thanks for having me. Appreciate it.

The country feels like it's falling apart right before our eyes, and the people inside it are being silenced. So we're going to East 26th street and Nicollet Avenue, which is where Alex Preddy was executed by ICE and Border Patrol. That is not a headline. That is a human life and it is all happening right now. Do you worry about your own safety being involved in all this?

[Jane Coastin]

Yes, but it doesn't really feel like

[Pura Diffuser Advertiser]

there's another option, you know?

[Steve]

And of course they use a 5 year old child as bait. And of course they're doing all these horrible bad things because they don't know what they're doing. They've been told that they're going to get rid of the worst of the worst, then they have absolute immunity and they've been told that nothing they do will they ever be held accountable for.

[Jane Coastin]

Here's what else we're following today. Head of Lines. Joining me is Crooked's Washington correspondent Matt Berg to talk about the big stories. Hey, Matt.

[Matt Berg]

Hey, Jane.

[Jane Coastin]

Remember how Trump said that Iran gave him, quote, a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money? Now, I assumed it was a large wooden horse that the administration was going to helpfully wheel into the White House, but it turns out I was wrong.

[Steve]

Steve, can I reveal the president?

[Matt Berg]

You can do anything you want.

[Steve]

Thanks. They said to show you the fact that we're real and solid and we're there, we're going to let you have eight boats of oil. Eight boats. Eight big boats of oil. This was two days ago. And they'll sail up tomorrow. That was three days ago.

[Jane Coastin]

That was Trump and special envoy Steve Witkoff during a Cabinet meeting Thursday. Trump went on to say that it ended up being 10 boats in the end. Allegedly, maybe.

[Matt Berg]

Here's the thing about that. It's not totally clear whether Trump is actually telling the truth here. Bloomberg tracks tankers that go through the Strait of Hormuz and there weren't clear signs of the big boats of oil that Trump mentioned.

[Jane Coastin]

According to the outlet, there is a possible explanation besides, Trump made this up. The tankers could have turned off their transponders for security reasons, but boats that have recently passed through the strait have had reliable signals, Bloomberg wrote, adding, quote, if this was some great present, you'd think both sides would want it known for their own reasons. Again, who knows if Trump is telling the truth? Meanwhile, while Trump is making a mess in the Middle east, he's making another mess in Cuba. Cuba hasn't received oil shipments since early January amid a US Pressure campaign. And at the end of January, Trump signed an executive order threatening tariffs on countries that send Cuba oil. The ongoing blockade is reportedly part of the Trump administration's strategy for, you guessed it, regime change. Matt, you were at the Cuban embassy this week. What did you learn?

[Matt Berg]

That's right. I've gone there twice in the past month with our news editor Greg Walters. Officials have told us that daily life in Cuba has become a huge struggle because the country rel so heavily on oil imports. There have been nationwide blackouts, which have especially hit the healthcare system hard, according to officials. Here's some of my conversation with the Cuban emcee's deputy chief of mission, Teneris

[Steve]

Diego we have more than 96,000 people waiting for surgeries in Cuba. It's a serious thing because for soldiers, we need energy. 11,000 of them are children. How you can explain a mother that you cannot, I mean, make the cigarette for their children because you don't have energy, because you don't have oil?

[Jane Coastin]

It sounds brutal over there. When will this end?

[Matt Berg]

No one really knows. But what I've heard from Cuban officials boils down to this. Cuba is open to negotiating business deals or pretty much anything else that Trump wants, but the country's sovereignty is not up for debate. And you know, speaking of Trump, or at least resisting Trump, tomorrow, Saturday, March 28, marks a third no Kings protest, with over 3,000 events planned across the country. The first no Kings protest happened last June and drew more than 5 million people, according to the ACLU. The second no Kings protest from last fall drew more than 7 million, and organizers expect this year to be even bigger.

[Jane Coastin]

Yeah, I mean, since last fall, we've seen the invasion of Minneapolis by federal immigration enforcement and the killings of two American citizens by federal immigration enforcement, not to mention the war in Iran, which most Americans oppose. And to top it all off, Trump is less popular than ever before in either of his two terms in office. Suffice it to say, there's a lot to protest. But Matt, I would never protest getting to hang out with you to talk about the news. Thanks for hanging out thanks for having me. And that's the. Before we go, spring break travel chaos has immigration back in the spotlight. And this week Alex Wagner digs into what's really happening behind the scenes. As Congress clashes over ICE funding and Trump allies reshape DHS leadership. The administration's tactics targeting immigrants aren't slowing down. On Runaway Country, Alex speaks with Stephanie Villareal, whose DACA recipient husband has been detained, and the bull Rick's Jonathan V.
