Summary

Josh Hawley wants us to believe that his vision of manhood and masculinity comes from the Bible, and specifically from its first book, Genesis. But does it? If it’s supposed to come from Genesis, why does he spend so much time talking about people like the ancient Romans and King Arthur? And if he’s being “biblical,” why does he talk about topics that just aren’t in the biblical text, like “leadership” and “representation”? In this episode, Dan decodes how Hawley actually uses the Bible to explain this ideological mash-up. Check it out to hear more!

listening to a couple of episode reruns. But we are back. And as always, I want to begin, I guess, not as always beginning the new year, but now we're beginning the new year. I want to begin the new year by thinking all of you for listening, for being a part of this. Again, Daniel Miller Swage, Daniel Miller, S-W-A-J at gmail.com. You can reach me there.

2:08.2

Again, the reason we're looking at Holly is not because he's unique, but because he's not,

2:11.6

that so much of what he says is a window into a lot of the discourse on the right about masculinity

2:17.3

and manhood and what

2:18.7

ails America. His critiques of quote unquote liberalism, which is we talked about,
