If you go a little lower look at these Other numbers that it has with religion If you keep going Lord there's a few Other charts uh okay zoom in on this one Here so we can see so zoom in so we can Read what it says at the top as well
Zoom out a little bit a little bit more Go a little lower so you can have there You go percent who say these values are Very important to them personally shown Amongst the youngest and oldest age Groups patriotism 36 percent Having children age group look at the Age group religion hard work go to the Bottom now hard work the only people That believe in that is what above 62 Years old okay go go lower there's Another chart that they have I believe That talks about you know uh uh read the The people who say these values are very Important to them Democrats look at Patriotism wow Independence look at Republicans 59 percent Republicans are More Patriot by 36 percent this is Wall Street Journal talking religion Democrats 27 Republicans 2x having Children 26 2038 Community involvement 32-23 Democrats have the highest one Without Community involvement money Democrats and Republicans are tied for Money it's the one area they agree with For each of the following has our Society gone too far to not gone far Enough or is it about right shown by Percentage who say too far Democrats Accepting people who are transgender Okay look at that Point spread look at the spread there

The things that truly built wonderful Communities and companies but here's my Question to all of you Tom and YouTube And Adam what what what what made this Shift what from all what was like that Was 25 years Pat what something's Happening Tom where all those values all The community all the you know doing Being held accountable it's shifted I've Been I've may have an opinion on this What do you think I I think we've You know you can go back and look at Just the last Look it was 25-year spread right and Just look at the the last 16 years of uh Presidents and and see what's happened Uh we've been I think in many ways it's Each person's responsibility for where They are and what they say and what they Do but I I think we've been led into Um Discord and we've been Led You Know By our leadership and the way political Campaigns come out And we've been led into this this Great Divide well let's go to 98 so who was President 98 was a Clinton okay So Clinton goes to Bush goes to go back To the polls again if he can show it go Back to the polls again Uh uh go back to the polls okay so check This out check this out seven from 1998 To 2019 is how long 19 years yeah from 19 2019 to 2023 is the big drop off okay Look at the drop off here and which
Sector if patriotism if you look at Patriotism from 70 to 61 that's 19 years So meaning we had a drop off after Clinton after Bush after Obama at 100 we Had to drop off okay But from Trump to Biden this is the Lowest we've ever had look at the Patriotism on how low it is in America Today religion from 62 to 48 it's a big Drop off 62 to 48 to 39. go to the next One having Um Children 59 that's a massive drop off of 16 points so the credit for that goes to Uh Bush and Obama 59-43 now 30. Community involvement 47 to a 62 to 27. May I is the 62 2019 2019. so you lock Us all up inside can you federally tell Us we have to get inside and we can't Work and can't help with each other and This happens yep I'm so surprised yeah Weird so but but the moral of the story Here is these are these are values and Principles of what others think about America okay these are basic values and Principles of what others think about America for me the biggest Factor Tom if You ask me is the following I was at the Uh church this week and it's a big Church here in Fort Lauderdale so I was There and people pulled up and they come And they talk and we have great Conversations to get you know what the Biggest thing was how many people would
Say Patrick you're a Christian I thought You were a Jew really I said so really So yeah no this entire time I've been Following your content I thought you Were well South Florida I bet David yeah Joseph I thought you were Joseph no I'm A Christian so now I'm so happy you're Coming to a church like this etc etc Yeah it's great I said you know one of The biggest things right now that Um I can't you know people sit there don't Let me tell you this person won because Of that and that person because I don't Know why other people want I can tell You what I want At 44 years old today uh I had a uh Something interesting happened to me This weekend not good tough but Something happened this weekend to me Okay and it's not it's not a big deal It's not something I want anybody to Worry about health or anything like that But it's something that it was it was Annoying what happened this weekend And I'm sitting there talking to Jen and We're talking we're going back and for Having a great conversation together and I said you know What this makes me realize I can't understand people who are Willing to risk life living without God I I can't understand that life
Because To live a life without God you think you Know it all I don't think I know it all To live like with life without God you Think you can do it all on your own I Can't do it all on my own to live a life Without God is saying you have all the Answers I don't have all the answers I need help in raising of my kids with Good people around me as well because I Only have certain amount of hours with Them every day they go to school to to Live a life today without God man Upstairs prayer a community you're a Part of if there's ever been a time in Our lifetime at least you know in the Last however many years to risk living Life without God this is by far the Worst season to do that I agree take any Risk you want to take do not take the Risks today of living without God okay And and by the way This isn't the debate we can have the Debate conversation no problem we can Have the uh uh debate conversation of Christianity or you know seven day or LDS or Jew or you know Muslim or you Know Buddha we can have that debate no Problem okay But I'm telling you right now the debate You don't want to have is living life Without believing there is a God and you End up being wrong and there isn't which There is a risk but the risk of living
Life saying there's not a God and then All of a sudden there is And you know you could have had a source To help you through some of the times That you are by yourself If kids know today listen mommy's not Going to be there that is not going to Be there but if you're ever alone God's There with you what do you think that Does to a kid think about a kid today That's like nobody's there with me and My dad's not here my mom's not here But you know what God I think you're There because I was told you're there Whether it's true or not what is that Kid going to go through during that Season we all go through certain Seasons We can all look nice and Polished today Man think about the season that you were Not polished well how did you make it Through that what if you did something Stupid during that time we don't know About your story many of us could have Done something stupid to not be here Right now so what this validates to me When you look at these types of numbers Is division is the lack of love for America when I talk about how great of a Country America the concepts that it was Founded on I can't tell you how many People say you know I can't believe You're saying that and all this other Stuff man I'm I'm a patriot and I'm from Iran and I love what America was founded
