Podcast appearances and mentions of timothy carney

This week on Family Policy Matters, host Traci DeVette Griggs welcomes Timothy Carney, author of Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be, to discuss how America has created an increasingly family-unfriendly culture and what parents can do to combat it. This episode originally aired in March of 2024.   

After reading two books touching on the theme of birth rates Adam gives us an overview and discussion on Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be by Timothy Carney and One Billion Americans: The Case for Thinking Bigger by Matthew Yglesias. Then Darren looks into whether or not Highway 401 in Toronto is the busiest highway in the world.

In 2024, we convened 42 new conversations, taking up some of the great questions of modern Jewish life, questions of war and peace, of Israel's security and Israel on the global stage, and of Jewish survival and flourishing in the diaspora. This year Mosaic's editor and the podcast's host, Jonathan Silver, spoke with military officials, activists, scholars, reporters, rabbis, theologians, institution builders, students, and in one poignant conversation a father grieving for his son who fell in battle defending Israel and the Jewish people. Because 2024 marks 820 years since the death of the great medieval sage Moses Maimonides, the Tikvah Podcast began the year with a four-part introduction to his work and his legacy. This was also a presidential election year in the United States, and as the fall campaign wound down, and in its immediate aftermath, we examined some of the political questions that would determine the future of American policymaking and the role of the Jewish people in American politics. From large, enduring questions to focused, timely ones, each week we've aimed to sustain the great Jewish conversation in depth. Of course, the most significant Jewish story of 2024 was Israel's military operation to defeat its enemies, secure its borders, and protect the millions of citizens threatened by the ring of fire that Iran had constructed around the Jewish state. Israel's military planners and operations have not been without their mistakes and miscalculations this year—no human enterprise is. But one year ago, in December 2023, it did not seem possible that, by December 2024, the IDF would have crippled Hamas and Hizballah and neutralized much of Syria's arsenal, that the Syrian government would have been defeated and replaced, and that Iran's defensive missile shield would be practically destroyed. As of the day of this recording, the Israeli air force is attacking military sites in Yemen. And all of this without the scale of civilian damage and loss of life that one could reasonably have expected in the Israeli homeland. There are still over 100 hostages in Gaza, a number of Americans among them—we do not forget about them for even a minute. But it must be said that the success of Israeli intelligence and the IDF over the course of the last months is historic. That, in one way or another, has been an ongoing focus in our conversations this past year. As 2024 is coming to an end, we're looking back at a number of clips from the past year. These include conversations with the celebrated author Cynthia Ozick, Rabbi J.J. Schacter, the director of UN Watch Hillel Neuer, the former Harvard professor Ruth Wisse, Rabbi Mark Cohn, the political scientist Yechiel Leiter, Rabbi Shlomo Brody, the journalist and intellectual Hussein Aboubakr Mansour, the former IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus, and the author and journalist Timothy Carney. As we plan 40 or 50 more conversations in 2025, we hope you'll return to our archive and listen to some of the most fascinating conversations that we've already recorded.

As kids head back to school, they also head back to an array of after school extracurriculars — whether that's a sport, instrument, or hours' worth of homework (often, all three). So, as another busy school year begins, Sean and Rachel are here to remind parents that, though extracurricular activities can teach kids valuable lessons, they shouldn't become your child's (or family's) entire world.   To dig deeper into the topic, the Duffys revisit their conversation with the author of Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be and father of six, Timothy Carney.

This week, it is our pleasure to welcome author Tim Carney to The Hamilton Review Podcast! Tim Carney is an award-winning author, journalist, scholar, and speaker. He has covered culture and politics for nearly 25 years, has written four books, has spoken in cities around the U.S. (and even overseas), and has published thousands of columns and magazine articles. From electoral politics, lobbying, and crony capitalism, to culture, faith, and family, Tim's work explores and explains a broad swath of the American landscape.  In this conversation, Tim discusses his new book, "Family Unfriendly."  Our culture tells parents there's one best way to raise kids: enroll them in a dozen activities, protect them from trauma, and get them into the most expensive college you can. If you can't do that, don't bother. How is that going? Record rates of anxiety, depression, medication, debts, loneliness and more. In Family Unfriendly, bestselling author and Washington Examiner columnist Timothy P. Carney says it's time to end this failed experiment in overparenting. Have more kids, have more fun, cancel the travel soccer games, let your kids wander off, and give them deeper sources of meaning than material success.  This is an old-fashioned view, but every day the evidence validates it. Drawing on rigorous research—both as a reporter and as a dad of six—Carney demonstrates why modern parenting is so misguided. The high standards set for modern American parenting are unrealistic and setting parents—and our kids—up to fail. Don't miss this important conversation! Tim Carney is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, the senior columnist for the Washington Examiner, and the author of four books, most recently Alienated America and the forthcoming Family Unfriendly. He has written in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Atlantic, National Review, and many other newspapers and magazines. Tim has appeared on CNN, FOX News, MSNBC, CNBC, and PBS Newshour.

Teamwork is a great skill for kids to learn, which is why many parents opt to put their children in sports at a young age. However, the emergence of highly competitive, travel sports has infiltrated the traditional family unit—from chaotic schedules to egregious expenses. So, what happens when the child, who's dedicated their entire life and identity to this sport, ultimately gives it up?    Author of Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be and father of six, Timothy Carney provides insight on how he believes modern society is placing unrealistic pressure on both parents and children, making parenting much harder than it needs to be (and creating highly anxious families).

Newt talks with bestselling author Timothy Carney about his new book, "Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs To Be". Carney argues that modern American parenting standards are unrealistic and contribute to record rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness in children. He criticizes the culture of over-parenting and suggests that it's time to end this failed experiment. Carney also discusses the impact of technology, the fear of crime, and the pressure to succeed on parenting. He highlights the declining birth rates in the U.S. and globally, attributing it to factors such as career-focused lifestyles, housing costs, and a shift in cultural values. Carney suggests that policy changes, particularly in housing, could help support families and reverse the trend of declining birth rates.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Family Policy Matters, host Traci DeVette Griggs welcomes Timothy Carney, author of Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be, to discuss how America has created an increasingly family-unfriendly culture and what parents can do to combat it. 

In 21st-century America, the formation of families has become less common, and when people do get married and have children, they have fewer of them. According to demographers, for a population to reproduce itself, each family in it must on average produce at least 2.1 children. Americans are now reproducing at well below that number, a trend that comes with economic, social, political, spiritual, and moral consequences. It's possible that government initiatives and financial incentives can encourage this number to rise. But in general there are mixed results when governments try to incentivize childbirth. This may be a sign that the forces undermining family formation are not primarily legal or economic, and that they are instead cultural attitudes and norms of behavior. That possibility is what today's podcast guest, Timothy Carney, addresses in a new book, Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be. In looking for examples of communities that have developed healthy family cultures, his reporting took him to an Orthodox suburb of Washington, DC, where he spent Purim and Shabbat, and to Israel. Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble.

The rise of Donald Trump in the 2016 primaries—and his eventual win in the general—defied expectations and confounded explanations. Nearly every national poll was wrong, and political observers have spent the last four years trying to understand what happened (and how so many of the experts missed it). In his book Alienated America: Why Some Places Thrive While Others Collapse, Timothy Carney makes the compelling case that the most common explanations for Trump’s ascendance—the economy, for example—don’t get to the root of things. He demonstrates that the people who resonated with Trump’s message that “the American dream is dead” are those whose communities lacked the social cohesion that binds neighbor to neighbor. While voters cast ballots mostly along party lines in the general election, in the early primaries, Candidate Trump actually struggled in places where the institutions that are “the key to the good life”— faith communities, vibrant civic organizations, etc.—already gave people a strong sense of purpose and belonging. Maybe you’re starting to see why Strong Towns founder and president Chuck Marohn named Alienated America one of the best books he read in 2019, saying “I highly recommend it to anyone trying to understand the cultural ramifications of fragile places.” Tim Carney is Chuck’s guest on this week’s episode of the Strong Towns podcast. Together, they discuss how populism—on both the right and the left, and in 2016 as well as today—is springing from alienation (we need to belong to something). They talk about community’s physical dimension (proximity, walkability, etc.), why people are healthiest when they belong to “a lot of little platoons,” and why idleness isn’t so much a vice as an affliction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how frayed social bonds effect not just our national politics but our local life as well.

In this episode we look into the flexible nature of the world around us, and the impact that we can actually have upon it. By looking into different countries and examples, we try to break down how much you can actually influence reality.The USA, the USSR, the EU and China all are examples of this, as they become more conscious creations rather than simple products of history.Presenters: Daniel, Carla and ShannonSources and Notes (In order of reference):The Secret, 2006, Rhonda ByrneLord Baltimore - I have to apologize because I cannot find a reference to the incident with Lord Baltimore, and I may be mistaking him for someone by another name, however I did find a reference to a Prince Henry of Prussia, who was invited in 1786 by Nathaniel Gorham (the President of the Continental Congress) to come to America and become the King of America, shortly after the victory over the British. They saw the reassertion of monarchy as very important, which while roundabout, proves my original assertion. Unsurprisingly, Henry declined, after the way the British treated their previous Monarch.I heavily encourage you to view this below Time article by Richard Hurowitz to view the full extent of how habitual so much of the American thinking was at that time.(https://time.com/5459916/american-monarchy/)Socialism with Chinese Characteristics - This term was actually coined in the era after Mao, and while Mao identified a unique version of Socialism, I just wanted to mention that this particular term was actually coined later in the Deng Xiaoping era, during the reform period.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_with_Chinese_characteristicsMore particularly you’d want to look at the term Maoism.The European Coal and Steel Community - https://carleton.ca/ces/eulearning/history/moving-to-integration/the-european-coal-and-steel-community/You can see at the above the story of the founding of the ECSC, and what would later become the EU.The EU Vote - The vote was to create an EU Constitution, but it was blocked by French and Dutch voters in 2005 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_establishing_a_Constitution_for_EuropeThe treaty of Lisbon was later signed as a replacement for this to create a common set of rules regardless, without being an explicit constitution. But with that earlier vote the mental battle to create a Federal Europe had stalled, and with it, the road towards Federation and a proper democratic process was aborted. Because as we’ve stated, it’s all about perception, and the public had voted it was afraid of the EU and what it was becoming.The Congo - http://whynationsfail.com/blog/2013/8/15/the-roads-of-the-congo.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitterIn the book Why Nations Fail by Acemoglu and Robinson, which I’m referencing, they detail a great deal of the ways by which the Congo collapsed, due to a paranoid Mobutu government not wanting to invest in the state or infrastructure for fear of empowering opposition. Essentially the far right, mixed with Libertarianism of a sort. So you had a hollow state, much of which ended up subject to lawlessness. It’s worth reading the entire book honestly, I’m a big fan of it, and it’s a case for the proper interaction between the state and the populace, and their interreliance to develop healthily.Dunbar’s Number - The number theorized by Robin Dunbar in 1990, which estimated that humans golden number of social connections is roughly 150 people, or more precisely, 100-250. It was originally seen as a correlation between brain sizes and social group sizes in primates.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_numberI can never remember the proper names when I’m talking on the fly!The Surprise Trump Vote -https://www.census.gov/newsroom/blogs/random-samplings/2017/05/voting_in_america.html2.8m additional white people came out and voted in 2016 compared to 2012, according to the US census bureau. A massive number of disenfranchised people primarily in rust belt states who feel alienated from the world around them, voted for Trump.This was a manifestation of the disaffected making themselves known, and changing the world through the democratic process.I am also referencing here Timothy Carney’s book Alienated America which he released early 2019. He makes an excellent case for the need for civil society. I don’t agree that the Church has to solve these problems as I think he simply makes the case for any ideological bonded institution. However, his observations about disaffection and societal dissolution are very sharp.I also have qualms about his understanding of regulation and the role of the state, as well as his fundamental misunderstanding of the general increase in atheism among western society. But that’s beside the accuracy of his research into alienation and the Trump vote indicators.Foreign Aid Numbers -The United States spends about 1% of it’s budget on foreign aid, about 45 billion dollars.

Saving Elephants has got your summer reading list covered!  In this episode Josh walks through classic, foundational books that every conservative should read, as well as some great books that speak to Millennials in particular.  Ranging from pithy and digestible to massive, complex, and dry, Josh gives a brief outline of the book and shares why it’s important to understanding conservatism.   While summer is traditionally reserved for light reading, it can also be the perfect time of year to tear into something quite challenging.  Reading hard books—if they’re good books—can sharpen our minds and develop our character.  Even reading of people with strong character can develop our character.  As Russell Kirk put it, “Reading of great lives does something to make decent lives.”   Here is the list of the books and authors referenced throughout the episode   Edmund Burke, British statesman and the “Father of Conservatism”: Reflections on the Revolution in France   Russell Kirk, political theorist, moralist, historian, social critic, and literary critic: The Conservative Mind Concise Guide to Conservatism Ten Conservative Principles   Barry Goldwater, Senator and 1964 Republican nominee for president: Conscience of a Conservative   Roger Scruton, English philosopher: How to be a Conservative   Irving Kristol, journalist and the “Godfather of Neoconservatism”: Neo-Conservatism   Patrick Deneen, political theorist: Why Liberalism Failed   Thomas Sowell, economist and social theorist: Black Rednecks and White Liberals A Conflict of Visions Basic Economics   Jonah Goldberg, columnist, author, commentator, podcaster: Suicide of the West   Timothy Carney, journalist and editor: Alienated America   Ben Sasse, Senator: Them   Joseph Sternberg, journalist: The Theft of a Decade   S. Lewis, author, theologian, professor: The Abolition of Man   And here are some other great books that I didn’t have time to get through in the podcast but are still worth a read:   The Essential Russell Kirk arranged by George Panichas   The Great Debate by Yuval Levin   The Price of Greatness by Jay Cost   Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow   John Adams by David McCullough   The Selfie Vote by Kristen Soltis Anderson

What causes “Trump-fever”? According to Baptist pastor and Trump cheerleader, Robert Jeffress, it’s all about abortion. He calls never-Trump evangelicals “spineless morons” because they won’t admit that Trump has been an effective pro-life president. Is he right? Not according to a new book called “Alienated America” by Timothy Carney. His data says cultural pessimism explains why some Republican towns embraced Trump in the primaries while other rejected him. Could that also explain his evangelical support? And Drew Dyck is back to discuss a new book on how we’ve made a generation of Americans into fragile snowflakes.

In Unstoppable, famed political activist Ralph Nader calls for an alliance of principled libertarians, conservatives, and progressives against a corrupt and overreaching Washington establishment. Although long an iconic figure on the political left, Nader here seeks to bridge ideological divisions by identifying opportunities for left-right cooperation. According to Nader, the possibilities for joint action include opposing unnecessary wars and bloated Pentagon spending, protecting endangered civil liberties, and combating corporate welfare and bailouts. Please join us for a lively discussion of this provocative book by a man cited by The Atlantic as one of the hundred most influential figures in American history. Prominent conservative writers Daniel McCarthy and Timothy Carney will offer their comments on the book and assess both the potential and limits of Nader's envisioned alliance.
