Following a ten-minute monologue by Watters taking aim at elected officials and candidates backed by the left-wing group, he and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt debated whether Gen Z backed DSA-affiliated candidates out of \u201claziness.\u201d <strong>(RELATED: \u2018We\u2019re All Going To Hell!\u2019: Dems Rally Around \u2018Gay, Tofu-Eating Vegan\u2019 Senate Nominee At Convention)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of these kids\u2014 and I call them \u2018kids\u2019 because they\u2019re in their 20s and they\u2019ve never had real jobs and they\u2019re complaining things are expensive. Yes, things are expensive when you don\u2019t have a real job. Do you think that\u2019s getting traction, complaining?\u201d Watters asked Leavitt after the two of them discussed the rise of the DSA\u2019s influence in the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_2 --> <\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, I do, because this generation \u2014 my generation, I hate to say it \u2014 Gen Z and those younger than me, have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths, just getting everything handed to them,\u201d Leavitt responded. \u201cThat\u2019s not the values this country was [<em>sic<\/em>] built on. It was built on meritocracy and hard work, pulling up your sleeves, pulling yourself up from your bootstraps, and achieving the American dream. And we need to protect it with all we got.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leavitt appeared to blame \u201cliberal indoctrination\u201d more than \u201claziness\u201d for the members of Generation Z backing left-wing candidates when discussing the trend with Watters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it laziness?\u201d Watters asked, with Leavitt responding, \u201cA little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_3 --> <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it because the professor said, \u2018[The] country\u2019s corrupt, it\u2019s evil, and we just need to shake them down, hand money out\u2019?\u201d Watters followed up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s laziness and it\u2019s the liberal indoctrination,\u201d Leavitt replied. \u201cYou bring up a great point about our education system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to the White House and Fox News for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Members of Generation Z were born between 1997 and 2012, according to Beresford Research, a market research firm based out of Annapolis, Md. The Center for Generational Kinetics additionally notes this generation was particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, significant gaps in learning emerged from the prevalence of remote learning as opposed to in-person schooling among the generation, which grew up with smartphones and social media.<\/p>\n<p>Leavitt and Watters\u2019s comments drew fire from Nalin Haley, the 24-year-old son of former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIronically, calling an entire generation lazy instead of addressing real problems with cost of living, housing, and employment\u2026IS LAZY. It\u2019s tough even for people that work hard, save, and have good jobs,\u201d Haley posted Friday to X. \u201cThe goal of every generation is to leave it better than you found it. That\u2019s simply not happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=2906\">Book Review: \u2018How To Become A Christian In 7 Days\u2019 By Russell Brand<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven as a young person, the country I grew up in is becoming unrecognizable. It\u2019s not complaining to want the same quality of life as our parents and grandparents,\u201d Haley continued. \u201cI have yet to see Democrats or Republicans address this issue properly. Economically, they\u2019re one and the same because they\u2019re both controlled by elites and corporate interests. The party that actually starts listening to real everyday Americans first is the party of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Department of the Treasury in December 2024 reported the costs of \u201chousing, childcare, healthcare and education\u201d had exceeded the growth in wages since 1990, while non-housing debt almost doubled from 1989 to 2022. Furthermore, many in Generation Z are still living with their parents, according to the agency\u2019s study.<\/p>\n<p>During the Biden administration, inflation hit levels not seen in four decades, with prices rising by over 20%, while the Consumer Price Index (CPI) reached a high of 9% in June 2022. Some experts believed the Biden administration\u2019s hostility to fossil fuel production and massive spending helped fuel such price increases. <strong>(RELATED: NBC\u2019s Data Guru Breaks Down Poll Showing Declining Trend Of Feeling Proud To Be American)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unemployment rates for members of Generation Z have also been higher than the national average, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The unemployment rate for those aged 16-19 reached 14.6% in June 2026, while those aged 20-24 were found to have had an unemployment rate of 7.1%, compared to an overall unemployment rate of 4.2%.<\/p>\n<p>When the first members of Generation Z were born in 1997, the national debt was $5.7 trillion, according to U.S. Debt Clock. The national debt as of Thursday was $39.375 trillion, an increase of nearly 591%.<\/p>\n<p>In a Sunday development, Leavitt took to X to call out \u201cbad faith actors\u201d who took her comments on the show \u201cout of context.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI care enough about our country to tell uncomfortable truths. And it\u2019s an undeniable fact that a growing number of young people in our country are falling for the lies of socialism and communism, sold to them by anti-American politicians who\u2019ve never built anything, offer no real solutions, and are intent on tearing down everything that makes this country great,\u201d Leavitt posted. \u201cAt the same time, it\u2019s also true that many Gen Z Americans are hardworking, entrepreneurial, and deeply patriotic, and it\u2019s vital we protect the American Dream for them. That\u2019s why I am honored to work for President Trump and speak on behalf of an administration that is implementing the right policies to do this: lower taxes, less regulation, stopping Wall Street from purchasing single-family homes, Trump Accounts, and the deportation of illegal aliens who are taking our housing and jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Note: This article was updated with a Sunday post to X from Karoline Leavitt.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.
