Hey folks,

We just wrapped a powerful bonus edition of Endless Urgency with Cameron Kasky from The Bulwark Network—and wow, it’s a must-watch. Cameron and I dove into how Gen Z, especially young men, are feeling about Trump’s second term, and what Democrats are getting wrong about winning them back. It’s honest, it’s raw, and it’s essential viewing for anyone trying to make sense of 2025 politics.

Here’s what we covered:

• [00:01:08] Cameron joins from NYC and reflects on life in Parkland, FL—how his hometown’s isolation and tragedy shaped his political journey.

• [00:03:00] Cameron breaks down why Gen Z men were drawn to Trump in 2024—and why it had more to do with anger and alienation than actual support.

• [00:07:00] We unpack how social media algorithms radicalized young men by feeding them fear and resentment—and how that still drives political attitudes today.

• [00:13:01] Zoran Mamdani’s stunning NYC victory: how he beat the establishment by actually offering voters something real—and what Democrats must learn from it.

• [00:29:00] We talk strategy: why reaching non-voters matters more than pandering to centrists, and how bold, authentic messaging could actually win again.

If you care about reaching young voters, fighting back against rising authoritarianism, and building a Democratic Party that actually delivers for people, this episode is essential. The stakes couldn’t be higher—and we don’t have time for half-measures.
