Good morning, Happy Warriors! 👋
Common sense has re-entered the room!
Today is Wednesday, January 29, 2025.
Here’s a Bible verse with a good reminder as you continue this week:
"But I have trusted in Your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation" Psalm 13:5
And now, here’s this week’s edition of “What’s Up, America? 🇺🇸” as I head back to school this morning:

President Donald Trump achieved his successful political comeback due to his strong outreach to podcast hosts and listeners.
Part of my role as Youth Chairman at the Republican National Committee was to suggest such ways Trump could connect with younger voters who listen to politics in different ways these days. As a result, the Trump campaign got their message out through non-traditional methods to help win over the youth.
This method of outreach should not stop at the White House door.
Thankfully, with today’s announcement by America’s youngest-ever press secretary Karoline Leavitt that podcasters will be allowed in the White House press room, it doesn’t have to.
It’s clear now that the Trump administration will continue to engage podcasters — and a great next step would be for the president to host his own official podcast from the West Wing.
It would be the first official White House podcast ever in American history, and it would go a long way to keep everyday Americans connected and engaged for his first 100 days of important policy announcements.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt hosted “Fireside Chats” via traditional radio between 1933 and 1944 to brief Americans on the recovery from The Great Depression, the Emergency Banking Act in response to the American banking crisis, his New Deal, and World War II. Most Americans aren’t aware that Roosevelt only held 11 fireside chats total; however, the lasting and profound impact of those chats has stood the test of time as important national communication.
Already, the radical left — including celebrities like Selena Gomez — have begun to attack the president’s policies including deportation. It is imperative that Trump keep Americans engaged in the same way he did during the campaign so they understand what is really happening.
When I came on as Chairman of the RNC’s inaugural Youth Advisory Council, our party hadn’t won since 2016 and had not won the youth vote since then-candidate Bill Clinton stepped up to play the saxophone on MTV’s “Rock the Vote” special in the 1992 Presidential election.
Trump walked away on Election Day with a stunning 44% of GenZ voters under the age of 30, according to exit polling by a consortium of media outlets including CNN, ABC News, and others. Trump also held onto 46% of voters between the ages of 30 to 44, which is best described as the “millennials.”
Now that he’s the 47th President, Trump’s team is showing they won’t stop his modern outreach because the campaign is over. In fact, to the contrary: he needs to lean into it like no other president before him in order to gain support for his first 100 days and his policy initiatives.
President Trump’s success with youth voters wasn’t a fluke. He worked hard for it, and my peers want to continue to see him and more importantly, interact with him. Allowing podcasters to have a seat in the White House press room will go a long way to retain these new, young republican voters in our party for generations to come.
