Prager has a video out on young people being suicidal, lonely and sad at record rates. Though loss of interpersonal contact due to excessive use of cell phones, drug and opiate addiction and fear for the future are reasons cited, Prager digs deeper, suggesting that the young feel bad and alone due to a loss of values and meaning.
Elites have discredited the Judeo-Christian and American values that traditionally buoyed young people of previous generations. These are values like keeping government small so that the large civil society gave people lots of friends and help for the needy through voluntary associations. Those have largely disappeared.
The discrediting of bourgeois values like getting married, and getting married before having children, learning self-discipline and delayed gratification, getting a job and home leaves the young single, childless and immature.
The values of traditional America were unique, wonderful and incomparable but their flaws were universal so all want to still come here. This set of values have been panned by the postmodernists.
Then the Left has rebuked and demonized religion so young people have no God, no church, no religion to fill their lives with meaning.
Prager is 100% accurate here. I can add nothing.
