The Hard Truth About Fatherlessness, Family, and America’s Future
Q: How did your background shape your views on marriage and family?
Growing up in Queens in a two-parent, faith-centered household showed me firsthand the protective and formative power of a stable family, which influenced my belief that marriage and fatherhood are central to children's development and societal health.
The Hard Truth About Fatherlessness, Family, and America’s Future
Q: Is this primarily an economic issue, or something deeper about culture and family structure?
The data indicate economics matter, but the core driver appears to be cultural and spiritual norms surrounding marriage and family, which have shifted over decades and profoundly affect children's outcomes.
Ben Carson's Incredible American Story with Lt Dan Patrick

Ben Carson's Incredible American Story with Lt Dan Patrick
Q: Tell me, Ben, what happened when you were being introduced on stage and the moment with President Trump.
