To some Americans, the country’s low fertility rate is nothing less than a threat to civilisation. This week, in a podcast that first aired on The Weekend Intelligence earlier this year, meet America’s pro-natalists. They have friends in high places—Elon Musk, JD Vance and President Trump have all championed their cause. But who are the individuals who make up this movement and how have they cornered the debate on such an existential issue?
Host: The Economist’s Barclay Bram.
