In this episode, Emily and James pour through the results of survey data collected by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) and find some interesting results about Gen Z. For example, a slight majority of "Gen Z women are substantially more liberal than Gen Z men," there is more religious diversity among Gen Z, Americans don't apparently think Gen Z is overly lazy, and Gen Z adults have more negative emotions than older generations.
In addition, we discuss the Israel-Hamas conflict, the war in Ukraine, and Tucker Carlson's Putin/Russian interview/tour (propaganda tour?), and interesting elections coming up internationally. We also discuss the recent death of a non-binary student in Owasso, Oklahoma and the need for transparency from both school officials and law enforcement, as well as a request for restraint from the public on speculation about this case.
