Summary

Does the American dream exist for Gen Z the same way it existed for Boomers? Host of ‘The Wade Show with Wade,’ Wade Stotts joins Will to discuss the collapse of the "American Dream," explaining how a combination of factors such as the decline of college education, an over-reliance on foreign labor, and poor policy decisions have pushed prosperity out of reach for many, even if they do everything right. And why there can still be hope for the future. Plus, FOX News Senior Correspondent Mike Tobin sits down to share the story of his climb to the top of Mt. Everest, as documented in the new FOX Nation special ‘Everest: Journey to the Top of the World.’   Subscribe to ‘Will Cain Country’ on YouTube here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch Will Cain Country!⁠⁠ Follow ‘Will Cain Country’ on X (⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠), Instagram (⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠), TikTok (⁠⁠@willcainshow⁠⁠), and Facebook (⁠⁠@willcainnews⁠⁠) Follow Will on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@WillCain Learn more about your ad choices.
