It appears the new dividing line in America is between young men and women — that is, "dude influencers" and young women.
Former President Donald Trump and JD Vance are courting young men, talking about UFC and boxing on podcasts. You wouldn’t be expected to know many of these people, beyond Tucker Carlson, who was fired by Fox News more than a year ago.
Do you think that’s a winning strategy? If you’re a young man in Nevada, is that what you’re interested in?
And what about Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz who seem to be courting the votes of young women?
We’re not just talking about politics.
Big news for UNLV football just came out: their star quarterback won’t play for the team anymore. He said UNLV hasn’t fulfilled commitments. Could that be related to potential NIL payments? Some universities are paying athletes who can now accept payments.
And, of course, it remains pretty hot outside. Is this the kind of weather that would make you move away?
