Welcome back to the show. We have another episode of propaganda for you. Mick's gonna get us started here. Thank you guys so much for tuning in as always, and we hope you enjoy this episode.

SPEAKER_01 0:11

Alright, so it was Father's Day over the weekend. I hope that you were able to celebrate with your dad or father figure in your life. New York Times decided to celebrate Father's Day by releasing an essay titled To My Daughter, My Gender Was Never Complicated. Oh boy, right? So it was a play in a comic strip format, and it had several illustrations where the kid is asking questions to their dad. And the author apparently drew from her own experience. Yes, her experience. It was written by a biological woman who transitioned to a male and is now the father of her daughter. She was the mother, but she's now the father. So she's drawing from her own experience of being a trans dad and decides to write an essay on it in New York Times. They published it in celebration of Father's Day. What a way to honor fathers, right? So the idea behind this essay is that this kid can express and accept their mother's new identity. And it's supposed to be sweet and touching and helps the author build up her confidence to be the father that she always knew she was. I know, isn't it ridiculous? We shouldn't be surprised, but it's always just funny when they do this stuff. So this comic strip essay format thing. It had the kid asking questions. The daughter was asking questions to her new dad, I guess. And some of the questions were how did you grow a mustache if you were a lady? Like I'm not even kidding you. That's a fair question. That's a pretty fair question. You know what I mean? I'm like, that's kind of valid, actually. I'm asking the same question. And then it would it goes to the daughter. Okay, so she's asking her mom that question, how how did you grow a mustache now that you were a lady? What? Huh? And then the daughter is on a playground later on with her friends, and she goes, I want to grow a beard one day. I want to grow when I grow up, I want to grow a beard. And then her friend that she's playing with goes, you can't, you're a girl.

SPEAKER_00 2:31

Based friend.

SPEAKER_01 2:33

You've been a friend in your life. Hey, that's a good friend. So to which the daughter then replies, my dad did, and he was a girl. Boom. You showed them. And then another panel, like it's literally just as a comic strip of like different questions, and like, I don't know, I guess it's supposed to yeah, show that the kid is naturally asking these questions and the the parent handles it and then very natural. Yeah, very, very natural question.

SPEAKER_00 3:06

Normal uh interaction with your father.

SPEAKER_01 3:08

Right. How did you grow a beard? Well, okay, so then the other question, one question was the child asked, um, how long did you have breasts for, dad? I don't know. I felt like that one was really odd because it's like, why are why is the kid commenting on a sexual part of your body? Like, I guess it's valid, like if they disappear one day, but like where'd they go?

SPEAKER_00 3:31

So are these like videos of them asking it, or is it like quotes that they've done?

SPEAKER_01 3:34

It's like a comic strip. Like, I'll put it on, I'll put it on when I edit the video, but it'll be like right, it's out of a comic book. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:41

Okay. What's your question? So is the kid actually saying this? That's my question. Because a lot of the time stuff this stuff is fabricated and they're telling the kid to say stuff.

SPEAKER_01 3:49

Right.

SPEAKER_00 3:50

And you know, it's like because you're right, that doesn't sound like a very childlike question to ask. So that's why I say that.

SPEAKER_01 3:58

Like, I don't know if the kid would use the term breast. I don't know if that's like KG, but I mean, like what? It's just like it's odd. Like, yeah, great way to celebrate dads. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 4:10

Mucker, my thing is is like the New York Times, you know, one of the biggest publishers in the US, in the world. How many stories do they have access to? How many people do they have access to? How many everyday father stories are there? You know, husband, father, son, parent, stepfather, father figure, whatever. How many stories are there like that you that you could have done for Father's Day?

SPEAKER_01 4:36

True.

SPEAKER_00 4:37

And I'm not saying something crazy. I'm not saying like whatever. I'm saying there are everyday scenarios and stories that they could run this off of, you know? And like what's funny is like you'll sometimes you'll see this in like like a small town, like news article. They'll be like, this is Joey from down the street. And he one time the building was on fire right there in that building, and then he saved like three kids, you know what I mean? Yeah, like you'll get like a random story like that from like your whatever, your local newspaper, your local news station. Why can't there just be a random story like that and turn this guy into a national hero? Instead, they're promoting this tranny saying, like, I don't know, this is what fatherhood is like, or this is why we should have dads like this, or something. Like, I don't know. You know why, because they're pushing an agenda, but it's like it's so it has to be so specific and so on purpose because you're discounting and avoiding all of those other stories, whether they're national stories, local stories, or just everyday whatever stories. It's so it's like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 5:33

Yeah, no, I know it's not surprising that New York Times posted this, but it's like like read the room, you know. This is not the climate that it once was to be posting something like this.

SPEAKER_00 5:46

This isn't 2017.

SPEAKER_01 5:47

Yeah, this is like people they're not tolerant for this thing. Like, we're sick of this pervertedness, we're sick of this. Like, stop pushing this weird agenda for Father's Day. We don't want to hear a story about a girl that thinks she's a boy and is now a dad. Like, like what? That's not what we want to hear. That's not what we're celebrating today. We're celebrating dads. Real dads, yeah, actual dads, yeah, biological dads. Right. It's sad we have we have to say biological. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know why they posted it, but I do know that for a long time there has been an effort to erase what it means to be a dad. And erasing the definition and the role of a father, it dismantles the family. Whether you want to admit it or not, it does. And when you have weak fathers, the family falls apart. Fathers are I would say the rock of a family. They're the foundation of it.

SPEAKER_00 6:42

Yeah, in a in a good family they are, and they always have been, and they always will be. Um so it's interesting to see that there's and it's from every direction, you know, but there's a purposeful play, a purposeful intent to remove that father figure, to remove the status of them, to remove the impact that they have on the family. Um and I'm not saying like you shouldn't have to say this, but like I'm not saying it's like if you don't have a father, you're screwed. Obviously not. I'm just saying the ideal scenario, the best available scenario, like that is you want a father and a mother in a home. Anything that is not that should be the exception or the one-off, or you know, or like you have a a terrible life circumstance that happens to you. That obviously happens. But for most kids, for most families, you should be able to have a father and a mother in the home. You know, a good father and a mother. And it doesn't mean people outside of that can't be successful or can't grow up and be great, can't grow up and be great people. It just means that that's the ideal scenario of a family. Like a family has a family's a specific thing. It's at least a mother and a father and a kid, and hopefully lots of kids and siblings, and then cousins, and then their spouses, and then their you know, their grandkids, and whoever they that's a family, you know, but it starts somewhere and it starts with a mother and a father. And it's weird. Mother's Day, they've done stuff like this for Mother's Day, like put it put a trans dude on there, putting your mom, they've done that too. But it's like Mother's Day still kind of has this, like, oh, it's mom, like she's lovely, do it for mom, you know, which obviously you should. But it's like Father's Day, more and more so, it's like I don't know, it's a it's a purposeful like derangement almost of it. Because if they're not promoting it or accepting it or showing the positive sides of it, they're showing this side of it. And like, this is fatherhood. It's like, no, that's it's really not, you know. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 8:35

Hey yeah, and again, that's not to say I you have to say this because people get mad. And I I know you guys listen to this know what I mean, but I have to say it. That doesn't mean that women or mothers don't have a part in the family. That means that doesn't mean that they're not the rock or the foundation either. But we talk about that all the time. But like Jacob said, right, it's it is both parents, but right now we're talking about dads, and right now we're talking about fathers. They are meant to be leaders, and when you take out the leaders or you degrade them or make them look weak or goofy or like they're not capable of doing so. And I I get it, a lot of men aren't, but that's because of what this agenda has done to men.

SPEAKER_00 9:14

And that's what that's partially because of how they're they were raised too, whether that was a weak father or without a father, you know. So you have that to blame too.

SPEAKER_01 9:21

Right. And that's what I really want to get into today is that okay, whatever. New York Times posted this stupid article about a trans dad, like whatever. We expect that now, okay? It's horrible and it's sad that we're used to it, but what I really want to talk about is this bigger picture of this agenda to erase what it means to be a dad and to erase manhood, like true manhood. When you have weak fathers, like we were saying, that family it falls apart. And when there's no family structure, there is really no structure. And without structure, people are easier to control. When you can't depend on the provider that you're supposed to pretend on, it's human nature. We're supposed to depend on the men in our society, the men in our families, our dads, our husbands. When you can't depend on them and the strength that is meant to be your dad or your husband, well, what what will you depend on? And yeah, I know you guys are always like these hunger game style, like F the government, you know, rebellion, and it's us versus the elites and the billionaires. Like, this is one of their tactics to control. And you guys to destroy the family.

SPEAKER_00 10:30

Right. Not just fathers, mothers, too, but to destroy the entire family, you know. And that's why they want to have these, like, you know, ambiguous, like family of all sorts, yeah. No mother, two mothers, one dad, one dad, two mothers, seven dogs and two cats, no kids, like, and they say that's family, and it's like, no, it's it's really not, you know. Like, yeah, family is actually it means something, and it might look different for everyone. And I'm not saying that there's obviously exceptions, there are, but the ideal family is you want a mother and a father in the home, primarily for the kids, you know, for the benefit of the kids. Um, but it's like today, I mean, for a while now, for for many years, they've been trying to degrade the role of the father, you know, which I think puts extra stuff on the mother, and then it also messes up the kids in a lot of ways, too. Well, yes, and that just further destroys the family.

SPEAKER_01 11:25

So that's a good point, it too, is that when like I've I've always said this, and again, that doesn't mean there's no exceptions, okay? Calm down. But you know when a woman has married or is dating or is with a good man when she's able, when she becomes more feminine. You know, when a woman is dating a good man when she becomes more feminine.

SPEAKER_00 11:50

Yeah, that's funny because that's like liberal women say that, middle ground women say that. Everyone kind of women say that. Most women agree. They're like, oh, I I feel like I feel more comfortable with my man now, you know. And I'm like, I feel they'll say this, like they say that on Love Island, even they're like, I feel confident, I feel comfortable to be feminine. And it's like okay, you're like, you shouldn't have to feel that to be feminine. I I feel like that's kind of a brainwash in and of itself. But also, it's like, yeah, that's what a good man can do. That's what a good father, a good dad, a good husband, you know, that's what they can do. Like, yeah, they allow, because they are supposed to be a strong figure and an empowering figure and a leader of sorts, they allow the other people in their families to do what they're supposed to do and what they're made to do. They allow the woman to care and to be herself and to be feminine, they allow the kids to, you know, learn and be safe in an environment and also goof off and have fun and grow and learn in other ways too. Because of who the father is, it allows for everyone else in the family to fall into their sp their like their spaces as well.

SPEAKER_01 12:50

So their natural spaces. Yep. Yep. There she's able to, I don't, I don't know, tap into this like feminine energy. I know it sounds kooky, but it's true. She's able to just, I don't know, she's able to feel like a an actual woman, provided for, cared for, supported. And when she's not with the right man, I feel like it forms this hard outer shell because she has to be, she has to wear the pants in the family too. You guys have seen it. I know, I know you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, but um, I don't know, you guys like this is one of the tactics, and you guys eat it up, even though you claim to be against the government, you claim to be like we're the we're the generation that's like the hunger gangs. Well, you guys eat it up. You eat up these articles from New York Times, you eat it up, the boss girl, you know, she's wearing the pants of the family, you eat it up. But it's slow, it's slowly chipping away at family structure and our society as a whole, and what makes a society run well.

SPEAKER_00 13:54

Yeah. I think thankfully, like if there's a if there is a positive side to this, it's that they release this and everyone either A doesn't care or B is like, oh, I thought we were over this, you know?

SPEAKER_01 14:04

Yeah, like That's true.

SPEAKER_00 14:06

It used to, I feel like, be like severely like celebrated in the media, you know, and everyone's talking about everyone's saying how good this was. You know, this is awesome. And now it's like you either are like, oh, well, here's another one, you know, they're always doing this, or it's like, man, they're still doing that, like really, like people don't care, you know? People are still New York Times, they're still doing it, you know.

SPEAKER_01 14:24

Oh yeah, and they'll keep doing it. Yeah, and I don't know, I don't know. You guys, like everyone says it's not that deep, but it it truly it really is, because every little thing adds up and it builds up and it creates a product of that environment. And there's been an effort to feminize men, whether that's in shows, books, move the movies we consume, the articles we read.

SPEAKER_00 14:53

Everything down if there's like a an ending thought I could leave with is like everything around you, everything above you, all structure, all leadership, all roles, it all boils down to one thing and goes down to one thing. And we're talking about the government, we're talking about private institutions, we're talking about community, we're talking about religion, we're talking about all these things. It all boils down to um what's called the fundamental building block of a community, you know, of a culture, of a people, and that's the family. And um, I'm not the first to make that point, obviously, but it's like it's from the family where everything goes up, you know, it's from your family to your extended family, to your neighborhood, yeah, to your little town, in your county, in your state, in your country. And it's like without the intact family, preferably, you know, preferably a Christian, God-fearing moral family, you know, without that building block of society, everything else gets perverted, as we've seen. And it's like, you know, you convince women of this, you tell men to do that, you take away parental figures, you add all these other fake things in here. And it's like slowly that gets like destroyed over decades, over generations now at this point. And it's like it just crumbles from the bottom. Everything else can crumble onto it. And I don't know, it just kind of shows you like now that we've had what since the 60s, since the 70s, like now that we've had time to see what this actually does, it's like, yeah, I think it'd be better the old way. I think it'd be better if men and women and kids and families were allowed to do and encouraged to do what they're supposed to do, you know? And it really shows like how I guess how impactful the family can be. So yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:46

Well, and this is such a tangent too, but it poisons the village that people claim they want so bad. You know, when you have the one-off, okay, fine, like um a a w a husband and wife, they split, they have kids though, or the husband dies, you know, whatever. Usually in that ideal picture, you have a community around you. And when they have strong men, strong women, they're able to help, they're able to lift you up and support you when something does happen.

SPEAKER_00 17:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:15

And we don't have that village anymore. Everyone is really isolated.

SPEAKER_00 17:19

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 17:19

And they don't have each other or a good support system. Yeah, and we're so far now that men can have boobs and weird dresses and poop butterflies and sweat glitter. It's ridiculous. Like, oh my gosh. Like I saw I saw a few videos. The new Toy Story movie came out, right? And the Buzz Light, spoiler, spoiler by the way. Buzz Lightyear, he and Jesse get married. And Buzz actually is the one walking down the aisle in a kilt. Like he's the bride. And when they kiss, he like pops his leg out like a woman would in a cheesy romance movie. Jesse dips him, you know, not the other way around. Like she's like kind of the man. And okay, you know what? Fine, like one off can be funny, sure. Like you're reversing the roles, and I don't know, maybe like the man is shy and it's like she takes control of the kiss first. I don't know, whatever. Okay, it can be funny. But when it's over and over, and that's the constant example of what a man acts like, it's programming to understand that's what men are. You, I mean, you've got Harry Styles, perfect example. All men in movies and shows are these retarded, unaware goofballs that the woman have to like babysit and guide and coddle. I mean, Timothy Shalamet, he's propped up as this as one of the sexiest men in Hollywood. And nothing wrong with the way he looks. He's just, he's feminine, you have to admit it. He's a more feminine.

SPEAKER_00 18:46

All the people they try to push are usually of the more feminine types, you know. Right.

SPEAKER_01 18:52

And that's not to say some that you know, there's not some exception. Some idiot will comment and try to be smart and be like, well, actually, there's this, this, okay. But as a whole, as a whole picture, that's the agenda. It's like an overwhelming amount of media that follows this pattern I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_00 19:11

I mean, it's in social media, it's in movies, it's in shows, it's in video games, it's in every article you can imagine. It's it's what it is now, you know?

SPEAKER_01 19:19

Right. Like it's it's been a while since the Disney had an average family with a strong father figure. It's not that they lack the talent to write one, it's that they don't want to. So that's all to say is that we love you fathers, those good fathers out there, the real dads, the biological men that are dads raising their family.

SPEAKER_00 19:40

Happy Father's Day to everyone.
