Are stay-at-home boyfriends a harmless lifestyle choice—or a sign of a bigger shift in work, ambition and expectations for young men?
On this special “Record Rewind” edition of “Greta Wire,” Greta Van Susteren sits down with NEWSMAX host Rob Finnerty to debate the rise of the “stay-at-home boyfriend,” why some men may be stepping away from the traditional workforce, and whether debt, education and changing career expectations are playing a role.
Then Greta tackles another rapidly changing American institution: college sports.
Greta speaks with Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) about the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act as lawmakers consider a national framework for NIL, transfer rules, player eligibility and revenue sharing. With Greta citing an NIL economy estimated at $2.7 billion, Schmitt argues that college athletics could look very different if the current system continues unchecked.
Could new federal rules bring stability—or is Washington getting too involved in college sports?
Watch the full conversation and tell us what you think in the comments.
