There are stark social consequences for America's declining fertility. What can we do to reverse the trends we're seeing? Politicians on both sides of the aisle propose incentives and resources for family formation, it is difficult to know which options would be successful. Good ideas for policy change begin with good data, and through commitment and cooperation we can move in a pro-family, pro-life direction. Good data, however, is something that is unheard of when it comes to abortion. The abortion industry wants to hide the stories of mothers who have had traumatizing experiences with chemical or surgical abortion, and they have manipulated the government to rollback requirements on reporting. Today we are joined by an expert in data analysis to help us sift through ideas for strengthening the American family. Lyman Stone is currently an adjunct fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a Research Fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, and a former International Economist at the US Department of Agriculture, where he forecasts cotton market conditions. His work has been covered in the The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and numerous local outlets. Lyman, Along with our recent guest Brad Wilcox, Co authored the recent report— the divided state of our unions: family formation in post COVID-19 America.

Marriage and childbearing are at an all-time low in American history. This certainly affects the decisions of those who are considering abortion and delights those who are selling it. The emotional, financial, and relational toll of the past year and a half have left people with less optimism for family life and fewer connections to make it a reality. On the other hand, isolation and reflection in the past year have made some reconsider their desire for family. Unfortunately, the realities of pandemic life have driven many families apart. The Institute for Family Studies has conducted research pointing to this conclusion, and today we're joined by IFS and AEI scholar Brad Wilcox to discuss the results.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Is there a more famous book out there? Maybe. This is a book you'll want to read before you die. Krypto and Una are finally diving into this mammoth and performing an in-depth discussion as they work through it. This will cover Anna Karenina Parts 4 and 5!

The United States' unprecedented withdrawal from Afghanistan this past summer has left a wake of questions and uncertainty. What does a new Afghanistan mean for Iran and U.S. allies in the region? How did U.S. foreign policy progress to this point and what are the lasting implications of this decision? AEI's Michael Rubin is joined by students at Stanford University to discuss the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, our evolving mission in the country, and what an American withdrawal means for the region, our allies around the world, and Americans back home. 

It can feel unproductive and hopeless to talk about the state of public life in America today. The upcoming generations are increasingly disillusioned that the world is going in a positive direction.

The COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted supply chains and disrupted the US economy. Production levels are back on track, but the labor force participation rate has remained stagnant since the summer of 2020. And millions of Americans are quitting their jobs in a labor market that was already facing a shortage of workers. What’s going on with this “Great Resignation”? And should we brace ourselves for continued inflation as supply line problems drag on and Congress pumps trillions into the economy? To answer those questions and more, I’m joined today by Michael Strain. Mike is the Arthur F. Burns Scholar in Political Economy and the Director of Economic Policy Studies at AEI.

Scott Gottlieb, senior fellow at AEI, former FDA Commissioner and the author of Uncontrolled Spread: Why COVID-19 Crushed Us and How We Can Defeat the Next Pandemic (Harper, 2021), reviews how the COVID-19 pandemic was handled, how he thinks it ends, and what do fix for next time.

Since the United States recorded its first Covid-19 related fatality in February 2020, over half a million Americans have died from the virus, and an estimated 43 million total cases have been reported in the country. How was America so unprepared for this pandemic? And how can we ensure that we are prepared for the next public health disaster? Dr. Scott Gottlieb once again joined Marc and Dany to discuss his new book “Uncontrolled Spread: Why COVID-19 Crushed Us and How We Can Defeat the Next Pandemic.” He also talks about the current reality of the Delta variant and what a future with endemic COVID may look like. Dr. Gottlieb is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. He returned to AEI in 2019 after serving as the 23rd Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration. He has a medical degree from Mount Sinai School of Medicine and did his residency in internal medicine at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Transcript-Final-WTH-Gottlieb-9.28.21.pdf (Download the transcript here. )

Most Americans don't give much thought to German politics--and that's a good thing given that when we once did it was because those politics were a disaster. But with the departure of Germany's chancellor of the past 16 years, Angela Merkel, it is time we did. Germany is not only a vital ally but thanks in large part to Merkel's leadership, it is a global leader of significance. What comes next in our relationship--especially as the US continues to prioritize its pivot to Asia.

Most Americans don't give much thought to German politics--and that's a good thing given that when we once did it was because those politics were a disaster. But with the departure of Germany's chancellor of the past 16 years, Angela Merkel, it is time we did. Germany is not only a vital ally but thanks in large part to Merkel's leadership, it is a global leader of significance.

Elisabeth Braw is a resident fellow at AEI where she focuses on defense against new and emerging threats, particularly those that do not meet the definition of conventional military force. She joins Phoebe and Robert to discuss the tools and technologies that governments and criminals can use to attack America and our allies without firing a shot.

After 9/11, investigators concluded one of the factors that put America at risk was that only 57 percent of nominees for top national security positions had been confirmed by the Congress and were in place. Today, that number is just over 26 percent. Random holds on nominees for indefensibly political reasons are putting this country at risk. The two worst offenders? Senators Cruz and Hawley. We discuss this with expert Loren deJonge Schulman, VP for Research at the Partnership for Public Service as well as AEI's Kori Schake, the FT's Ed Luce and Georgetown Law's Rosa Brooks. We also discuss Kori's and Rosa's prominent opeds on the controversy surrounding General Mark Milley. Plus a little bit about French submarines.

COVID. Wildfires in the west. Hurricanes in the Gulf and storms in the East. A women's right to choose under siege. A corrupted justice system. Economic inequality. Racial division. Democracy in the ICU. Any one of these crises would be a challenge for a generation. We face them all at once. The result is something like "the 2000 yard stare," the sign of a battle worn soldier unable to fight. But we must fight. The question is how. We discuss all this on a vitally important special edition of the podcast with guests Norm Ornstein of AEI, best-selling author and therapist Mary L. Trump, co-host former Obama White House senior official Dr. Kavita Patel and co-host David Rothkopf. Join us.
