It's in the Code ep 178: “There’s No Such Thing”
from Straight White American Jesus · host Bradley Onishi + Daniel Miller
Josh Hawley argues that America’s restoration can only come as men develop and exercise their unique, God-given masculine virtues and the play their assigned roles in society (the first of these is husband). This is a patriarchal vision of America that most Americans would reject, so he softens the presentation of his high-control religious vision to try to make it seem less radical, more inviting, and more inclusive. But by softening his message, he actually shows readers what he most wants to hide: There is no such thing as a kinder, more inclusive expression of high-control religion.
