Fatherlessness isn’t just a personal issue. it’s a national crisis. In June 2025, Congress finally admitted it, calling out the fact that 18.4 million children in the U.S. are growing up without a father in the home.
But while lawmakers scramble to offer mentorship programs and tax incentives, we have to ask...will this actually fix anything? Or is it just more political noise?
For decades, society has blamed dads for disappearing. But what if they didn’t leave...what if they were pushed out?
Family court bias. Media mockery. Cultural narratives that treat fathers as either irrelevant or dangerous.
This episode exposes the truth behind the numbers — why 1 in 4 kids are growing up without their dads, how the system is stacked against fathers, and what it’s doing to the next generation.
Because behind every statistic is a child who lost more than a parent...they lost a protector, a guide, a foundation.
If we care about kids, we have to care about fathers.
Not just on Father’s Day. Not just in Congress.Every single day.
👊 WATCH. SHARE. SPEAK UP. Because dads matter.
