=== Values Gap (01:59) ===

[00:00:00]  All right, Ty in San Antonio, I trust we got you clearer now.
[00:00:04]  Go ahead.
[00:00:05]  Yes, sir.
[00:00:07]  You know, when you talk about micro and macro values, there are a couple things that come to mind.
[00:00:13]  And it's, does a person walk it like they talk it?
[00:00:20]  You would be surprised how many people aren't willing to actually vote the same type of values that they...
[00:00:31]  And I think that that's how largely we have got ourselves into things like full-term abortion and different conversations like that, because people will go to the ballot booth and they will vote a societal standard that they would never adhere to themselves.
[00:00:55]  You know, forgive me because there's so little time.
[00:00:58]  That is a great point.
[00:01:02]  My relatives, except for my immediate family, that is my two sons, my relatives generally are liberal, not left, but liberal, and almost always vote Democrat.
[00:01:15]  And one of the things, I don't like to argue with my relatives.
[00:01:19]  I'd rather just love them up.
[00:01:23]  One of my phrases to them is, why don't you preach what you practice?
[00:01:27]  They live conservative lives, but they vote sort of the opposite of what they live.
[00:01:35]  It's an odd thing.
[00:01:39]  So if you say, as Amy Wax at the University of Pennsylvania Law School did, why don't we just teach these middle class values from the 50s, these bourgeois values like...
[00:01:49]  Get married before you have kids.
[00:01:51]  She was called a racist.
[00:01:53]  Even though all these professors live that, or nearly all of them, they got married before they had kids.
