I actually just this morning was telling my son about what I'm going to give him when I'm an old man. This bracelet actually. This is from my grandfather. And so my great grandmother made this for him and she gave this to him before he went to fly planes with the Air Force in Korea. I told my son today, hey, when I'm an old guy, you're going to get to wear that. I can't, I can't follow that.
Take that, John. That was our own John Bickley and Cabot Phillips discussing fatherhood. And as you may have guessed by now, Morning Wire is a family show. We love moms and dads, and we like to celebrate them when we have an opportunity.
And our producer, Justice, had a fun idea that this year for Father's Day, we could have a candid conversation with two of your favorite dads from this show to discuss their experiences with fatherhood and maybe share some nuggets of wisdom as well. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley and Wired in-host Cabot Phillips.

Chapter 2: How does becoming a dad change your perspective on life?
Yeah. But then it magnified tenfold when she actually was going through labor. And I just remember thinking, wow. I'll never be able to get mad at you again because of what you're going through for our family to bring this life into the world. Does that remain true? Of course that remains true. We haven't had a single argument since our kids were born.
But it definitely, it left me in awe and it made me just humble in thinking you're going through something that I never could go through. And I just felt this respect. I think that's the best word. I felt this new respect for all women, all moms, but especially my wife. I have a kind of negative... Okay.
This is a bad way to sort this. But I actually, during the birth of our first child, I actually was a little mad. Okay, not at her. That no one was giving you attention? I did not. I was... I really was kind of freaked out. And the degree to which it freaked me out. I was kind of mad. I was like, why does everyone talk about this? Like, this is so wonderful. There's genuine fear.
You know what I mean? But... By the end, it's the most beautiful thing ever. But I genuinely, at some points, was freaked out and very, very much feared for her. I feel that, too.
We did a home birth for our first son.
Oh, my gosh.
And I remember there were a few moments thinking, was this a bad idea? Should we not have done a home birth? Ended up being a wonderful experience. But there were some moments of, yeah, I'm glad that was wonderful. That sounds like a horrible idea to me. It was great.
Horrible.
OK, next question. The world is changing very fast and it's really overwhelming as a parent trying to prepare your child to succeed in a future that could look very different, even from what we experienced, from what our parents experienced. What are you focusing on inculcating in your children to help them thrive under those unknown or maybe unstable circumstances in the future?

Chapter 3: What pivotal moments define the transition into fatherhood?
You have to have a new level of patience, which is super hard for me.
Okay, so I'm going to return to a theme that we kind of talked about earlier. I'm just going to tell you a little something that billionaire dads have been buzzing about, and I want to get your reaction to this phenomenon that's going on and just hear what you guys think. So have either of you heard of Alpha School? So Alpha School is this AI-powered pre-K through 12th private school network.
It's based in Austin. It's expensive, $40,000 a year. And the idea is they have just two hours of core academics a day, and they have these AI tutors teaching them things. They don't have teachers. They have these roving adult guides that will assist them with some of their AI learning. They do that for two hours in the morning.
And then the rest of the day, they have hands-on workshops in real-life fields. Wait, hold on.
So is this a physical – you're in a physical location?
It's a physical school. Yeah.
So they have like – When you're saying roaming, like they're robots roaming around?
No, no, no. It's like adults that are like checking in. Oh, they're real adults. Like, oh, I see you on your computer. How's it going? Yes. Okay, okay. That kind of thing. Gotcha. Like proctors. Is that – kind of like that. Yeah. So – Anyway, the fields that they do their real-life workshops are robotics, public speaking, financial literacy, entrepreneurship.
So anyway, Bill Ackman is a huge proponent of this. Reid Hoffman, he co-founded LinkedIn. He's also very interested in this.

Chapter 4: How do fathers feel about their roles during pregnancy and childbirth?
And I want to Enjoy that right now. So that's the advice of a dad who's been a dad for two and a half years, which I'm sure people are looking at funny. Being needed.
I know everyone here relates to this. Being needed. There's times you can resent that. You step back for a second and go, how great. How great is it to be needed? You know, it's a wonderful feeling.
All right. Well, gentlemen, happy Father's Day. So proud to have such great dads on this show. And... Viewers, to you dads out there, happy Father's Day and thanks for watching today.
