The discussion begins with a lighthearted exchange about California, quickly transitioning into the deeper issues at stake in youth activism and political ideologies. Kirk, who has been politically active for over a decade, emphasizes his organization’s growth and success in shifting the youth demographic's political alignment since the rise of Donald Trump.

He argues that this influence has been challenged by a burgeoning conservative movement, highlighting that young voters have historically leaned Democratic but have begun to sway due to shifting narratives and outreach efforts from the conservative side.
