I'm Jen White. You're listening to the OneA Podcast.

And I'm Todd Zwillick, and we're back for the latest installment of our weekly politics series, if you can keep it.

This week, we're taking a closer look at what Americans say they value most.

Now, more than three quarters of U.S. adults surveyed by Gallup and the Aspen Ideas Festival ranked respect, family, trustworthiness, freedom, kindness, health, integrity, and happiness

as important values.

That's according to the first ever American values index, which the company is released in June.

But which of these is most important? Aside from family, most Americans surveyed or split on

which values they rank among their top three. So what do we know about the values Americans

hold most closely right now? And as the country prepares for the impacts of President Trump's

massive policy law,

how closely does our political landscape align with what we say we value? We talk about all of it

after this short break. Stay with us.
