Gen Z is dating less, marrying later — or not at all — and reporting record levels of loneliness.
Delano Squires of the Heritage Foundation joins Stigall to unpack new data showing a real dating drought among young Americans. What’s driving it — technology, economics, cultural messaging, fear of commitment? And after National Marriage Week, why does promoting marriage now feel almost controversial?
Then — Stigall connects the dots in a broader monologue: from Venezuela to Greenland, global monetary strategy is proving something critical — leverage is freedom. Nations that control their resources and currency hold power. Those that don’t, don’t.
From family formation to foreign policy, the theme is the same: stability and strength require structure, not chaos.
