Summary
Kevin Dolan just held the second natalism conference in Austin, Texas, aimed at bringing together people across the spectrum who are concerned about falling birth rates. We talk about what was said there, as well as the media reaction -- major outlets covered the event. Is having babies a right-wing thing now, or will they concede it's a legitimate concern?

| 0:18.7 | Hey everybody, Tom Woods here. It's episode 2632 of the Tom Wood Show, and we are checking in with our old friend Kevin Dolan because the event we talked about, the last time he was on, has now taken place. |
| 0:31.8 | It's natalcon. It has to do with having more babies and how important that is and how weirdly countercultural that is |
| 0:40.3 | and how we ever got to this point is a question in itself. But I'm curious about not only how did it |
| 0:46.4 | go and what was said and who was there, but also the media reaction, because are they really |
| 0:52.2 | going to make having more babies seem controversial? You know, I mean, are they actually going to make having more babies seem controversial? |
| 0:56.0 | You know, I mean, are they actually going to try to go down that road? |

| 1:45.9 | were willing to even touch this issue at all, let alone come to a conference on it. And now |
