Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

Today we are going to talk about a study that was published this week by NBC and the Wall Street Journal

that examines Americans' values by generation. I've talked about it a few times this week

on Fox on the radio, on OAN, so maybe you've already heard my analysis, but of course

today we'll get more in depth. I've been really excited to talk about this because

Among people 55 and older for example nearly 80% said patriotism was very important compared with

only 42% of those ages 18 to 38. The millennial generation and older members of Gen Z,

two-thirds of the older groups cited religion as very important with fewer than one-third

of the younger group. Over 50% of baby boomers also play a high value on having children while

only a little over a third of millennials do. So in other words, the vast majority of millennials
