Elliot Ackerman’s recent conversation on The Megyn Kelly Show was a breath of patriotic fresh air — a clear rebuttal to the left’s one-note sermon that masculinity must be stamped out rather than reshaped. On the December 2, 2025 episode, Ackerman joined Megyn Kelly to explain why teaching boys that masculinity need not be “toxic” is not only sensible, it’s essential to rebuilding American strength and character.
Ackerman has launched a timely series called “A Man Should Know,” a practical primer aimed at helping young men reclaim virtues the left pretends are outdated: responsibility, competence, and honor. He anchors his advice in everyday skills and small acts of intentionality — the kind of hands-on tutelage that used to come from fathers, coaches, and community elders.
This isn’t theory from a university think tank; Ackerman brings real-world credibility as a Marine Corps veteran, former CIA special-activities officer, and bestselling author who’s lived by the standards he now urges others to pass on. His voice matters because it’s forged in service, not in lecture halls or activist Twitter storms.
Meanwhile the cultural elites keep yammering about “toxic masculinity” while ignoring the very real harms of hollowing out male purpose — a debate captured in mainstream coverage that shows how confused our institutions have become about what boys need. The answer isn’t to shame young men into passivity; it’s to teach them to channel traditional strengths toward responsibility, restraint, and service.
Ackerman and Megyn reminded viewers that boys today are up against a perfect storm: algorithms, atomization, and institutions that often praise softness while punishing strength. That’s why conservative communities must step up with fathers who lead, schools that encourage risk and resilience, and mentors who model how to be useful citizens and loving family men.
If we want healthy marriages, flourishing neighborhoods, and a strong nation, we need to stop bowing to woke moralizing and start rebuilding the culture that made America exceptional. Teach skills, demand responsibility, celebrate courage, and refuse to let the Left rewrite what it means to be a man into a caricature of weakness — our sons and our country deserve nothing less.
