Huge show coming up today. Brand new polling show, the Generation Z. Well, they don't actually like babies, but they do kind of like socialism, we will explain. Plus, Democrats continue to double down on protecting criminals and illegal immigrants, not a smart move. But first, whatever plans you have tomorrow night, you should cancel them, because we need you here with all of us to celebrate a decade of the Daily Wire with the live premiere episode of our new show, Friendly Fire, at 7 p.m. Eastern. We're not gathering to tell stories of the past.

0:24.5

This isn't a nostalgia hour. There will be a little nostalgia. Instead, we're giving you a first look at what's coming next. New series, new projects, huge announcements, surprises we have been holding back until this very moment. This is the start of our next decade. You don't want to miss a single

0:38.4

moment. It is the live debut episode of Friendly Fire. All of us will be together to do what friends do. You know, argue, debate. Michael will probably smoke a few Mayflower cigars. I'm going to make fun of him like a lot. Watch live tomorrow night at 7 p.m. Eastern at Dailywire.com and on the DailyWire Plus app. Well, folks, the kids are not okay.

We now have an enormous amount of poll data suggesting that Generation Z has some very

There are brand new poll numbers out from NBC News.

1:10.1

And what it shows is basically

1:11.5

young people not into getting married or having babies, also kind of like socialism. This is not good.

1:18.7

It is incredibly not good. So according to this NBC News poll, results among respondents aged 18 to 29.

1:25.9

They were asked about 13 different options of top priorities.

1:29.5

This is overall, and we'll get to sort of the political divisions in a moment, which show

1:33.1

the difference between Trump's America and Kamala Harris's America. But overall, people 18 to 29,

1:40.5

for women, the number one priority, number one priority in life was having a job or career you find

1:46.3

fulfilling. Number two, having enough money to do the things that you want to do. Three, achieving

1:51.5

financial independence. Four, having emotional stability. And then if you go all the way down

1:57.6

the list, all the way down the list. Number 10, having children, number 11,

being married. That's a problem. That is a massive problem. If young women between the ages of 18 and
