The Assault on Family: How Society is Losing its Most Important Institution

In this episode of The Vivek Show, host Vivek Ramaswamy discusses the importance of the family as a governing institution with guest Terry Schilling from the American Principles Project. They explore the progressive assault on the family, the decline in marriage and birth rates, and the role of family in creating selfless citizens. Schilling emphasizes the importance of grounding institutions, such as faith and patriotism, and the sacrificial nature of love in the context of family and society. With a focus on the societal benefits of the family unit, this episode challenges the current atomistic conception of the self and encourages the audience to rediscover the power of family.
