I asked the Collinses something I think they're asked a lot, Nomi, about the children that they're having, the quality of the children. When they are accused of or compared to eugenicists who only want certain races or classes to procreate, they say they're different. They say pronatalists are not like that. But is that true?

We're speaking to you ahead of the annual natalism conference. You've mentioned it already, Malcolm. It's happening in Austin this weekend.

There's been this investigation, Namia, into the organiser Kevin Dolan and they found his pseudonym Twitter account and on that he shares homophobic, racist, anti-Semitic views as well. And you mentioned that great replacement theory. He promotes that conspiracy theory as well and said that eugenics and pronatalism positions are very much aligned.

When Donald Trump entered the White House for a second time this year, Namia, his two top officials in his new administration, J.D. Vance, the vice president, and Elon Musk, are both men who have been very supportive of pro-natalism in the past. Have they actually used their platforms, though, to push pro-natalist ideas?
