Consider This from NPR - They want America to have more babies. Is this their moment?

Billionaire Elon Musk told Fox News recently that falling birth rates keep him up at night. It's a drum he's been beating for years.

Musk is one of the world's most visible individuals to elevate this point of view. Vice President JD Vance also talks about wanting to increase birthrates in the U-S.

But it's not just them. There are discussions across the political spectrum about birth rate decline and what it means for the economy.

One response to this decline is a cause that's been taken up by the right, and it has a name – Pronatalism. Many of its advocates met up recently in Austin, Texas, at "Natal Con."

Pronatalists think they have a friendly audience in the White House. How do they want to use it?

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Critics Slam Trump’s Economic Plan—but Offer No Alternative

On this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson highlights the silence of the Left when it comes to proposing good economic policy.


“We haven’t had balanced trade for 50 years. No one is giving any alternatives. No one is talking, in any way, that they have an antithetical and better plan than Donald Trump.

“The success or failure of Donald Trump will hinge on the status of the economy."

1A - ‘If You Can Keep It’: The Federal Health Firings

The nation's health administration is the latest target of the Trump administration's effort to dismantle the federal bureaucracy. That's after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slashed 10,000 jobs at the Department of Health and Human Services early last week.

Entire offices were eliminated during the layoffs. Some of those positions, Kennedy says, will need to be reinstated. Experts warn that these sweeping job cuts at the HHS will affect drug approvals, disease tracking, and vital biomedical research.

We continue our series "If You Can Keep It" with a look at what these actions mean for our public health - and the health of U.S. democracy.

We discuss the latest on the dismantling of the HHS and how staff cuts at the department might change the way the U.S. delivers health services.
