Nothing has been a more powerful cultural narrative targeting our generation than the attack on marriage and having kids, telling us that our lives are effectively OVER the moment we say "I do" or bring new life into the world. As a result, the United States is living through a record low marriage rate and an all time low fertility rate--with many scholars asking "how did we get here?" and "how can we fix it?"

Brad Wilcox is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Virginia, author of "Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization," and a fellow at the Institute for Family Studies getting to the bottom of why Gen Z has been trending anti-marriage and anti-kids, and what our culture can do to turn things around.

If you've taken yourself off the dating market, find yourself yearning for greater happiness in the midst of unprecedented loneliness, or are just looking for a new compass to orient yourself around in today's dating era--this episode is for you!!

This week, it was reported that the average home in America is the most unaffordable to the average American ever in our nation's history... and Twitter Boomers are still insisting the way to fix it is for Gen Zers to "just make your coffee at home!!"

Yeah... that's not really how it works. At least anymore. & today we're breaking down why.

Between multinational corporations buying up the supply of single family homes in America, the red tape it takes to build a new house in the first place, and the surge of illegal immigration we've experienced over the past decade, it's no wonder Gen Z feels like the housing market is rigged against us.

& we need more applicable solutions than "let's just give them a 50 year mortgage!"

Why Your Parents Bought a House at 25 (& You Can't)

Gen Z Hates Marriage and Kids... Or Do They?!

Have you ever wondered what priests actually do? What does a vow of poverty really mean?  Will priests always be celibate? Why do Catholics believe in the perpetual virginity of Mary? Why did so many people just get excommunicated from the Catholic Church? Why is the Catholic Church is seeing a surge of young converts?

Today I'm joined by Father Gregory Pine O.P., Dominican priest, theologian, author, and one of the most thoughtful voices in the Church, to answer the internet's biggest questions about the priesthood and the Catholic faith. We dive into vocation, celibacy, confession, the beauty and sacrifice of religious life, and why so many young people are searching for tradition in a culture that has lost its moral compass.

Whether you're Catholic, Protestant, discerning the faith, or simply curious, I hope this episode gives you a deeper appreciation for the beauty, clarity, and hope found in Christ and His Church.

Everything You've Ever Wanted to Ask a Catholic Priest ft. Father Gregory Pine

I genuinely can't believe this story isn't getting more attention.

While everyone has been focused on the Charlie Kirk case, another political scandal has been quietly unfolding—and the details are honestly shocking.

Today I'm breaking down the shocking collapse of Maine Senate candidate Graham Plattner's campaign after multiple allegations, disturbing past comments, and years of controversy came to light.

We'll walk through the timeline, the media's response, why so many prominent Democrats continued defending him, and what ultimately caused his campaign to fall apart. I also dive into the broader question this story raises about the Democrat Party, political accountability, and whether there is a different standard depending on who's involved.

Whether you've been following Graham Plattner, Susan Collins, Bernie Sanders, or just trying to separate fact from headlines, I hope this video gives you the full picture and lets you decide for yourself.

Let me know what you think in the comments—are scandals like this becoming the new normal in American politics?

Is Graham Platner the New Face of the Democrat Party?

Yesterday was the first day of the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing, and after spending hours watching the proceedings, I wanted to sit down and walk through what actually happened in court.

There's already so much misinformation and so many conspiracy theories flying around online, so in this video I'm breaking down the biggest moments from Day 1, the evidence prosecutors presented, and what it all actually means as this case moves forward.

Thanks for watching, and as always, let's keep pursuing truth—not just whatever happens to go viral.

Inside The Tyler Robinson / Charlie Kirk Hearings

🇺🇸 HAPPY 250TH BIRTHDAY AMERICA!! 🇺🇸

I don't know what happened to my algorithm this week... but it became nothing but bald eagles, fireworks, America memes, World Cup hype, and the most unhinged patriotic videos on the internet 😂... and honestly? I'm not complaining.

So I figured we'd celebrate America's 250th birthday together by reacting to some of the funniest, most iconic, and most ridiculously patriotic clips I could find. 

We talk fireworks, Joey Chestnut, George Washington, soccer (no not... fútbol 😅), NASCAR prayers, and why everyone suddenly seems to be embracing their inner bald eagle.

Plus, I'm spending the 4th in Washington, D.C. for what promises to be the biggest fireworks display in history (over 800,000 pyrotechnics), and I cannot wait to show you everything from our nation's capital!

Whether you're watching from a backyard BBQ, a lake, a parade, or just hanging out with family and friends, I hope this video gets you even more excited to celebrate the freedoms we get to enjoy.

Happy Independence Day, friends. 🇺🇸❤️

God bless you, and God bless America! 🦅🎆🇺🇸

TikTok Is America-Maxxing for Our 250th Birthday

I thought NOTHING could get worse press than UFC on the White House South Lawn… but boy was I wrong. 

The establishment media is FREAKING OUT over the Great American State Fair and every time I open the Internet I come across another negative headline trashing “Trump’s fair” as completely empty, boring, and poorly planned.

Living in Washington ourselves, my daughter Isla and I decided to check it out and brave the heatwave currently plaguing the swamp to see it for ourselves. Spoiler alert–it was AWESOME, and a fantastic concept to “visit” all 50 states and even more U.S. territories to experience the incredible breadth of culture we take for granted in America day in & day out.

What are your plans to celebrate the Fourth this weekend? Let me know in the comments! 👇 👇

Is Trump’s Great American State Fair *That* Bad?

There is truly an unbelievable amount of misinformation, clickbait, and speculation floating around online about Charlie Kirk.

Next week, though, something concrete is happening—not a clickbait podcast episode or viral tweet, but the preliminary hearings for the trial of Charlie’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson. In just a few days, this will be put in front of the world, and I want you to understand what that really means.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down everything you need to know—from the charges against Tyler Robinson and the judge's latest rulings to what a preliminary hearing actually is (hint: it's not the trial) and why next week matters so much. We'll also talk about the media circus surrounding this case, what's fact versus fiction, and what evidence we could see presented in court.

Whether you knew Charlie personally or have simply been following this story, my hope is that this video helps you form your own opinion based on evidence—not internet outrage.

You Need To Know This About The Tyler Robinson/Charlie Kirk Trial

Every time I sit down with young women like these, I'm reminded that the future is far more hopeful than we're told. Despite a culture that celebrates modern feminism and dismisses faith, family, and femininity, so many Gen Z women are choosing a different path. 

In this conversation, we discuss marriage, motherhood, careers, hookup culture, and why none of these students identify as modern feminists. 

Whether you agree or disagree, I hope this panel encourages an honest conversation about what it truly means to be a strong woman—and why embracing the way God created us is anything but limiting.

Has modern feminism failed women, what do you think?

I Asked Gen Z Women If Feminism Was a Mistake...

Apparently the biggest winner of the FIFA World Cup isn't a soccer team... it's America.
Foreign fans keep showing up, visiting Buc-ee's, Bass Pro Shops, country concerts, random gas stations, and somehow leaving convinced they've been lied to about the United States. Meanwhile, parts of the media seem absolutely horrified that people are having a good time.
So... who loves America more right now?
Let's talk about it.

I’m Not Sure Who Loves America More

This month, Denver Public Schools unanimously voted to dismiss Jennifer Honka, a French Language high school teacher, after an investigation concluded she was forcing her female students in class to make out with one another in “skits”... and then graded them on it.
INSANE, right?! But sadly, no longer an isolated freak exception to the “teachers are all pretty great” rule.
Today, story after story emerges about public school teachers grooming their students and s*xualizing their classrooms… and the next generation of parents have had enough.
As for me and my house–we’ll be homeschooling. But are you still willing to send your kids to public school in America? 👇👇

These People Are Teaching Your Kids

Young women today are experiencing unprecedented levels of anti-baby propaganda, telling us that having children will destroy our lives, harpoon our careers, and ruin our romantic relationships.
As a result, population experts are terrified that we are facing a human population collapse as America confronts rapidly dropping fertility rates.
Yet one group of women is defying the odds–young conservatives–who overwhelmingly want children and are having them in higher numbers than any other group.
A few weeks ago, at the TPUSA Women’s Leadership Summit, I sat down with an incredible group of young women leading their Turning Point chapters and the fight for the next generation on their campuses–and you’d be SHOCKED how often they’re confronting this anti-family messaging.
From their Left-wing peers wishing miscarriages and r*pe on these young conservatives to professors insisting children will destroy your life, these students have heard it all–but remain deeply committed to their desire to have children and become a Mom themselves someday.
This conversation gave me a lot of hope for the future. If these women are any indication of what's coming next, Generation Z is in very good hands

Are Colleges Telling Women NOT To Have Kids?

This is one of the hardest videos I have had to create. I waited almost two days to share this with you because it is almost too hard to bear. 

However, we owe it to ourselves and our young girls to share the truth, as ugly as it is. While UK media does everything it can to bury the United Kingdom’s R*pe Gang Report from MP Rupert Lowe, it is our duty to share this document and protect our daughters and Western civilization at large. 

The survivor testimonies are absolutely heartbreaking and viewer discretion is advised. The report details how young girls were groomed, abused, and repeatedly failed by the very institutions that were supposed to protect them — police, social services, schools, and local authorities.

As a woman, and especially as a mom, this made me sick to my stomach. This isn’t about politics. It’s about accountability, truth, and making sure victims are finally heard.

It’s an incredibly difficult topic, but we can’t keep looking away. Together, we can band together to reaffirm that God’s children are not for sale.

If you are in the UK, please let me know what it is like on the ground or send me a message on Instagram so that we can help to share your stories.

The UK Grooming Gang Report Is Worse Than You Think

The World Cup is officially on American soil, and something unexpected is happening...

European & Japanese soccer (importantly, NOT football) fans are discovering Buc-ee's, Waffle House, Costco, college football stadiums, mechanical bulls, ranch dressing, and American hospitality for the very first time.

From German tourist Freddy's viral road trip across the American South to Scottish fans singing Country Roads in Boston, the Internet can't get enough of foreigners experiencing America through fresh eyes.

Maybe we've been taking some things for granted 🇺🇸🦅

Do World Cup Tourists Love America More Than We Do?

Get ready for a SPICYYYY kickoff to your weekend - my friend Xaviaer DuRousseau is in town, and he’s got a lot on his mind.

As a resident of Southern California, Xaviaer gives us an update into all things Spencer Pratt, Karen Bass, and Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayoral race, and reveals just how corrupt Gavin Newsom’s California has become in 2026 👀

Then, we discuss the Karmelo Anthony trial and tragic murder of teenager Austin Metcalf and the difficult questions America is facing this week surrounding justice, race, and accountability. As a former BLM activist turned MAGA conservative, Xaviaer shares his personal perspective on why these conversations matter to pursue truth without falling into the trap of tribalism. 

Even though some of these topics are heavy, I left this conversation feeling hopeful. Xaviaer always reminds me to pursue courage, conviction, and to stand up for your beliefs while still fighting for a better future.

Do you think California is beyond redemption? Was the Karmelo Anthony sentencing a sign of justice, or injustice? Drop your thoughts in the comments 👇👇

Why Are So Many Black People Defending Karmelo Anthony?

The media has been abuzz the past few weeks about President Trump’s UFC arena being built on the White House South Lawn… so I decided to check it out for myself.

Is it a horrifying eyesore begging to be mocked, or one of the coolest venues ever built in sports history?

I got a first look at the arena setup, octagon, media areas, and all the details before fight night. Plus, this card is stacked with stars like Sean O'Malley, Ilia Topuria, Justin Gaethje, Alex Pereira, and more. If you love UFC, MMA, and getting a peek behind the curtain, you're in the right place!

Come check it out for an exclusive preview tour of the venue ahead of this week’s UFC Freedom 250 fight at the White House, and let us know what you think about the project and event in the comments! 👇

Will you be watching the fight this Sunday? 👀

Inside Trump’s Controversial UFC White House Arena

Over the past few years, mainstream media coverage has EXPLODED with shocking statistics re: the number of Gen Z women throwing their birth control pills away–and I’m just one of them.

Branded by the NY Times as an “anti birth control advocate,” I have been incredibly vulnerable in sharing my story as to “why I quit birth control,” but I’m not the only one. Across party lines and every social background in America, young women everywhere are ditching the pill & other forms of hormonal birth control as we dive deeper into the conversation about Big Pharma’s real impact on our lives.

Last weekend, I sat down with four college students at Turning Point USA’s Women’s Leadership Summit to hear from them about their birth control journey. Together, we discuss acne and painful periods, PCOS and hormone-related struggles, and what led all of us to stop taking birth control entirely.

Have you been part of the movement to quit taking hormonal birth control? What’s your “why I quit” story?

HUGE thank you to these courageous students who joined me to share their stories! Please pray for their continued safety on campus as they seek to change hearts and minds for the better every day.

Is Birth Control OVER For Gen Z?

Today felt like a breath of fresh air.

Instead of another conversation about politics or outrage, I sat down with my dear friend Riley Gaines to talk about something much more personal: motherhood.

We talked about birth, faith, femininity, marriage, family, and the beautiful chaos of raising daughters. Riley shared what it was like bringing Margo into the world, how motherhood has softened and strengthened her, and why family feels more important than ever in this cultural moment.

Motherhood has softened us, strengthened us, humbled us, and reminded us of what truly matters.

I hope it encourages anyone navigating motherhood, dreaming of a family, or simply looking for hope in a noisy world.

Thank you for spending this time with us. 🤍

The Moment Everything Changed for Riley Gaines

Viral YouTuber Jesse Ridgway (McJuggerNuggets) has sparked a massive online debate after he announced that he and his wife "terminated their pregnancy"--in other words, ended the life of their baby--following a Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21) diagnosis they were "devastated" over.

Jesse’s now-infamous tweet seems to miss the mark on the inherent value of human life entirely–reducing his baby’s existence down to disease statistics and the likelihood of inconvenience.

As a mom, this conversation hit me deeply. I'm not making this video to attack Jesse Ridgway (McJuggerNuggets). This story is about something much bigger than one person, one family, or one decision. It reminded me that every person is more than a diagnosis, more than a prognosis, and more than the challenges they may face. Some of the most beautiful people I've met have taught me that joy, purpose, and love often show up in places the world least expects.

I hope this conversation encourages you to fight for the dignity of all people, and I hope what Mia Armstrong and Shane Gillis share about the reality of Down Syndrome resonates with you as much as it did with me. 

💛 Every life has worth. Every life has purpose.

California... are you okay? 👀🌴

In what might be the most shocking political plot twist of 2026, Steve Hilton is leading in the governor's race, Spencer Pratt is giving Karen Bass a real run for her money, and huge parts of California are suddenly looking a whole lot redder than anyone expected.

But before conservatives start booking victory vacations to Malibu, there's one problem: California's election system. From voter ID controversies to burned ballot boxes and eyebrow-raising voting procedures, plenty of people are asking whether the results in November will actually reflect what voters want.

Is California turning red? Is Spencer Pratt really the political outsider nobody saw coming? And what on earth is happening in Los Angeles?
