Karoline Leavitt faces heat for calling Gen Z lazy, entitled | RISING

White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt taking some heat online for bashing Gen Z alongside Jesse Watters. Take a look. They're in their 20s and they've never had real jobs and they're complaining things are expensive. Yes, things are expensive when you don't have a real job. Do you think that's getting traction, complaining? Unfortunately, I do because this generation, my generation, I hate to say it, and those younger than me have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouth, just getting everything handed to them. Uh-oh, Leavitt and Watters went on, check it out. It's all we got. Is it laziness? A little bit. Is it because the professors said country's corrupt, it's evil, and we just need to shake them down and hand money out? It's laziness and it's the liberal indoctrination. I say, you know, if they misbehave, just make all these young kids join the army, right? Shape them up. I almost have to. Or send them to Cuba. Send them to Iran. They'll want to come back real quick. That's a good point. All right, that commentary itself was a little bit lazy, I will say. It's never, right, I mean, Jesse says they're, right, they should be forced to join the military. I didn't, but they should be forced to. This is not, I know their audience is older people and older people like to hear, you know, I'm prone to some of this too. We're all prone to this, and I had to walk six miles both ways. And it is true to be fair that, I mean, you and I are of an age that when we were graduating college and entering the workforce, it was particularly difficult in the midst of the Great Recession. We, you know, lined up for unpaid internships. Our first job that they were both unpaid. Unpaid internships. Or I had a fellowship. Right. And the job market is not nearly as punishing now. So some of the complaints I hear from Gen Z, I'm like, okay, it's been worse though. But, you know, it's not a good look to go too far on that. Young people are materially disadvantaged in some ways, in the constraint we have on housing, I talk about a lot. It makes it harder for them to purchase a home, start a family, do things of that nature. Again, I would solve these problems in very different ways from how the left offers solutions for these problems, but they are problems. And I complain about this all the time. And you don't like when I do this, but I'm going to do it again. The entitlement, the welfare state, all the money, the government spends trillions of dollars. It mostly goes toward much, much older people in terms of their health care. There's not a lot of state support. There's no state support going to young people. And I think that's not a great system. So I think it's not helpful just to bash them and beat up on them, especially by people who... Jessie didn't serve in any military. Caroline Leavitt, nice lady, good at her job. She married someone like 30 years older than her and much wealthier than her, which is fine. I have no problem with this. I didn't know you were going to go there. That should... And it's not like woke indoctrination by professors. Thank you. I appreciate that. That's a little bit of a cope. So, you know, those are my thoughts. Well, I think that, you know, reading the room as... Well, Jesse Waters is making TV, so I'm going to put him to the side. But Caroline Leavitt being an administration official, reading the room would be understanding that, you know, there's a lot of young people that feel disadvantaged in society that are of her same age that don't feel like they can have the luxuries of having a young kid and take the maternity leave and have the health insurance and everything that she was afforded just recently, her nice new marriage and new family and the wealth that she has. They don't feel anywhere close to that. They feel so far away from this American dream. Study after study comes out where these kids feel isolated. And I wouldn't call Gen Z being like whiny. I actually am really in admiration of these younger people. I know you find them a little whiny. No, but it's easy to be from a pedestal and say, well, I did this. I did this. What I think the distinct difference is with Gen Z is that they specifically are walking in rooms. And I appreciate when they're qualified and when they have worked as hard enough to ask for the things they're asking for. When they're just asking, it's annoying. But if they have literally shown like we used to do, we would work endlessly, work overtime, not get paid. We did everything right. But then we never asked. We still would be a little bit timid, try to play the game. Gen Z is like, look, are we making six figures or not? And my aunt who works in HR will talk to me about this, like the audacity of some of these young kids to be like, what's the raise after a year? You don't have to just die on a sword. You got to wait till you're worth it, my friend. We don't do breaking back labor anymore. Gen Z understands that. We don't have to do back breaking labor to get things done. And so they're not going to be put through the ringer for no reason. Sometimes old bosses just probably wanted to stand over you to see you work your hours just to see it because they say so. And you know that we've all experienced where somebody's just in charge of us. They want the intern to run around, go get a million meals. We're working hard. They got us up at the crack of dawn to do this show. And then we're doing the primary coverage late at night and 16 different shows in between. No, I am working very hard. So are you. That's what you got to do. Once you get into your 30s, correct me if I'm wrong. You're very comfortable asking for what you feel like you're worth and how much work you do. You're very comfortable pushing that even further if you feel like you're working harder than the salary allows. Gen Z starts like with that energy. And I think that that's not a bad thing. Like you shouldn't be taken advantage of. Why not ask for it? But you also have to do the work. So if there are young people out there who are busting their behinds and also asking for more, that's not a bad thing. Yeah, I think you got to you put in your time, you keep your head down, you got to work really, really hard. Then you can get to a place where you can demand things or ask for things. And I don't see so much of that. But, you know, broad generational stereotyping is always impossible. There are lots of hardworking young people. There are lots of lazy young people. There's lots of hardworking old people. There's lots of lazy old people. And that's just how it is. The confusing part is that conservatives want people to have families younger. They can't afford it. Give them an opportunity to make a salary that allows them to afford it is what I think Caroline Levin should address. Affordable in some places. So they all got to move to Wyoming. What are we going to do? Well, that's nothing wrong with Wyoming. I like Wyoming. Come on in. The water's flat and nice. Well, they might want to move to D.C. like Robbie. Well, in D.C. it's you got to struggle. That does it for us on Rising Live. Look out for more exclusive YouTube content coming your way later today.
