Today we\u2019re joined by\xa0Dr. Brad Wilcox, professor of sociology at the University of Virginia and senior fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, to discuss the importance of family structure in our lives and in society. Rates of idleness and incarceration are significantly higher among young men who didn\u2019t grow up with a father in the home versus those who did. We discuss the data that supports this in Dr. Wilcox\u2019s study \u201cLife Without Father": Less College, Less Work, and More Prison for Young Men Growing Up Without Their Biological Father, which provides evidence that present fathers in the home statistically prepare boys for safer childhoods and more successful adulthoods. Then, we discuss the progressive movement\u2019s push to replace family with the state and the hypocrisy of progressive policymakers regarding their family policy agendas.\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors: \n\nGood Ranchers \u2014\xa0change the way you shop for meat today by visiting GoodRanchers.com/ALLIE & use promo code 'ALLIE' to save $30 off your order, get free express shipping, and donate life-changing food to kids in need!\n\nCarly Jean Los Angeles \u2014\xa0use promo code 'ALLIEBASIC' to save 20% off your first order at CarlyJeanLosAngeles.com!\n\nReliefband \u2014 save 20% off plus free shipping at Reliefband.com when you use promo code 'ALLIE'!\n\n---\n\nShow Links:\n\nIFS: "\u2018Life Without Father\u2019: Less College, Less Work, and More Prison for Young Men Growing Up Without Their Biological Father" https://ifstudies.org/blog/life-without-father-less-college-less-work-and-more-prison-for-young-men-growing-up-without-their-biological-father\n\n---\n\nBuy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/book\n\nRelatable merchandise \u2013 use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey\nLearn more about your ad choices.
