Twilight of the Podcasts

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn the latest episode of Restoring Order, I delve into the ongoing divide between MAGA and the retard right. To begin, I remind the audience that there is an ongoing effort to demoralize Trump supporters. Don’t fall for it. I then outline why Trump’s refugee policies are a huge win. Next, I read Trump’s brutal Truth Social post, in which he excoriates Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Alex Jones. I react to the video in which Tucker implies Trump is the anti-Christ and ponder whether convincing your supporters to wear a hat that reads “low IQ” is a wise move. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I read Tucker’s response to Trump. I argue that conspiracy theories about Trump being blackmailed by Israel cause people to lose sight of the real dynamics at play. I then take a look at a few polls that suggest that Tucker is becoming less popular among Republicans. What does that mean, given that his audience is bigger than ever? Later, I examine what Candace, Megyn, and Alex were saying about Trump before he admonished them. Toward the end of the show, I consider JD Vance’s future. He wants these big names to support his 2028 run, but he needs to be able to say Trump 47 was a success. How should Vance navigate this schism? Tune in to find out.

Everyone Is Wrong About Marathon

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comBungie’s Marathon is a new extraction shooter released on March 5, 2026. Although it garnered positive reviews on Steam, its player count remains fairly low. So what happened? Is the game woke or is there something else going on?In this rare RESTORING ORDER VIDEO GAME REVIEW I talk about the new Marathon game, explaining its origins and lore. I cover its aesthetic dimension, gameplay, shell (class) system, maps, quests, weapons, items, and factions. I compare Marathon to other extraction shooters, such as Escape from Tarkov and Arc Raiders, and ponder why this reasonably good game hasn’t had a big impact on the gaming world.

Iran, Past and Present

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comPeter Nemets is a writer and Twitter poster. He returns to Restoring Order for a deep dive into Iranian history. First, we start with ancient Persia. We discuss the Achaemenid Empire, which eventually fell to Alexander the Great. After came the Parthian Empire—and after that, the Sasanids. We then discuss the Arab conquest of Persia, which replaced Zoroastrianism with Islam. Next, we cover the Mongol invasions. Toward the end of the first half, we discuss the Safavid Empire and the Qajar Dynasty. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), we switch gears to discuss the Pahlavi dynasty. What kind of man was Reza Shah Pahlavi? How was he deposed? We then discuss his son, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Were his reforms successful? This brings us to the Iranian revolution. Nemets and I detail the numerous factors that led to the revolution. We explore how it evolved over the course of 1979. Toward the end of the show, we talk about Operation Epic Fury and the future of Iran. After taking such a beating, will the Islamic Republic moderate? Tune in to find out.

The Absurdity of Modern Dating Discourse ft. Pat Stedman

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comPat Stedman joins me to discuss dating discourse, online vanity, women flaunting their former promiscuity, and his work as a relationship coach.To start, Pat provides his origin story. We learn about his January 6 experience and how he got into relationship coaching. I ask Pat to tell us about what the average guy who seeks out his services is looking for. We then discuss some conventional right-wing wisdom about dating, including the claim that men should focus on making money before worrying about finding a wife. This leads to some discussion on whether women—even conservative women—are eager to marry a virgin. I’m forced to confront a difficult question: Was Future Moldovan Citizen Right? Toward the end of the first half, we consider the myriad of ways in which “trad” approaches to dating can cause problems. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), we shift gears to consider Trevor Sheatz's viral post, which garnered 35 million views. Why did people react so strongly? Was he merely encouraging promiscuous people to turn to Christ – or were his intentions less noble? I argue that, while it's great to see people turn their lives around, some things are perhaps best kept private. Next, we discuss a different hoe-turned-tradwife, who, despite being a former camgirl, had the gall to claim that men who shame previously promiscuous women are porn addicts. Pat argues that these types of women are guilty of pride and vanity above all else. Later, I ask Pat if we can ever return to the status quo of the 50s. He makes the case for that decade being somewhat of a historical anomaly. Toward the end of the show, we discuss how manophere stuff can be used for good or evil – and why it's important for younger guys to steer clear from third-world dating discourse.Pat’s email list Pat’s YouTubePat’s coaching servicePat’s Twitter

Is Trump Putting Boots on the Ground in Iran?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn the latest episode of Restoring Order, I criticize both the Israeli government and American Israel critics, making no friends in the process and appealing to absolutely no one.I begin by providing some updates on the Trump administration’s investigations into left-wing groups. I argue that, while these things do take time, we will eventually need results. Next, I consider a recent report indicating that Trump is considering deploying ground troops to Iran. Should we be concerned? I then criticize Israel for attacking Iran’s South Pars gas field. This leads to a consideration of American and Israeli interests in the Middle East. I explain that there’s overlap, but that ultimately our interests aren’t identical. And what of Israel’s role in the outbreak of hostilities with Iran? Is the Jewish state the sole factor, or is there more to it? In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I review the Washington Post report that suggests JD Vance is considering sitting out the 2028 election. If true, what does this say about the post-Trump GOP? Next up, I talk about Roman Polanski’s Chinatown (1974), which I recently rewatched. I outline why it’s an incredible film, without spoiling anything. I argue that we need to reject the Chinatown mindset – the view that the world is so irreparably dark and dysfunctional that there’s no point in trying to fix it. I also argue that Roman Polanski, while a phenomenal director, is definitely a depraved guy. Toward the end of the show, I review Joe Kent’s resignation letter and a few clips from his appearance on Tucker. I also discuss the investigations into both men. Are they guilty? Tune in to find out. Note: In the Joe Kent segment, I stated that Kent implied that Israel was behind the attempt on Trump’s life in Butler, PA. But upon rewatching the clip in question, the foreign entity he references in relation to Butler appears to be Iran, not Israel. Given that he does seem to float the possibility that Israel was responsible for Charlie Kirk’s assassination—and given Kent has also implied that Trump lives in fear of the “Epstein network”—I’m sure you can understand why I was mistaken.

Was Operation Epic Fury a Mistake?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn this episode of Restoring Order, I talk about Trump’s military action against Iran. To start, I review some recent immigration white-pills. I then review some Iran updates and explain why Trump hasn’t yet ruled out boots on the ground. I explain how Americans benefit from stability in the Middle East – and why Iran threatens that stability. Next, I review some of the online right’s reactions to Epic Fury. I argue that some criticisms are more valid than others, and I remind the audience that there are many grifters trying to black-pill them. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I review BAP’s take on military action in Iran. I point out that, while I don’t fully agree with him, it is a reasonable position. This proves that you can disagree with Trump without trooning out, although many appear incapable of doing so. Next, I take a look at Dr. Gottfried’s position on Epic Fury, which, of all of the takes I’ve seen online, is the closest to my own. I argue that it’s more than justified to give Trump the benefit of the doubt, while at the same time urging the administration not to overcommit. Toward the end of the show, I review some recent developments with Tucker, including his announcement that MAGA is dead, his odd clip implying that U.S. soldiers would rape Iranian women, and his now-refuted claim that Mossad agents were arrested in the Gulf.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comTune in to catch the replay of a space I hosted this afternoon on the recent U.S. military action in Iran. What are the long-term consequences of this? Has Trump betrayed his campaign promises? Can airstrikes alone topple a regime? We explore these and other related questions.

The Right's Meme Candidate Problem

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn this episode of Restoring Order, I discuss right-wing meme candidates, arguing that they do not present a viable path forward for the right. I start with James Fishback, who’s running for governor of Florida. I examine Fishback’s positions on several key issues, including H-1Bs and Israel—positions that, curiously, changed after he decided to run for office. I also take a look at some of the sexual misconduct allegations against Fishback. Is there any substance to them?In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I talk about Fishback's professional and financial issues. Unbeknownst to many, he received a large judgment after his former employer successfully sued him. I then take a quick look at the polling to see what chance, if any, Fishback has of winning. Switching gears, I discuss Casey Putsch, who is "running" for governor of Ohio. I put running in quotations because I couldn't find much evidence of anything resembling a campaign, let alone a single poll mentioning his name. Toward the end of the show, I take a trip down memory lane by reminiscing on Patrick Little and Paul Nehlen, two notorious meme candidates from 2018. I argue that, while these guys were clearly more insane, that at least made it harder to take them seriously. I conclude by outlining how someone could hypothetically run a doomed campaign that nevertheless has a positive impact on the right. What would that look like? Tune in to find out.

Black-pilling and Plan-trusting

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn the latest episode of Restoring Order, I cover some recent developments on the right, the prospect of war with Iran, and the white culture debate. But first, I review some immigration white-pills. I then discuss the black-piller vs plan-truster divide on the right. I explain why the panicans are wrong and often operating in bad faith. If you’re arguing that people defending Trump are being paid by Israel to do so, then you aren’t really interested in an honest debate. This leads to some reminiscing on the alt-right turning on Trump in 2017. It was more understandable then, but it still wasn’t the right move. I argue that turning on Trump is the path to political impotence, pointing out that many dissident right figures initially opposed Trump from the right, only to later find themselves opposing him from the left. Funny how that works out. I conclude the first half by articulating why criticizing the Trump administration doesn’t necessarily qualify as black-pilling. In the second half of the show, I shift gears to cover the possibility of war with Iran. I argue that Iran should not get a nuclear weapon, reminding the audience that this is the position held by most countries, including many Muslim ones. I explain that while I trust Trump, I would nevertheless urge caution when it comes to regime change. Toward the end of the show, I wade into the white culture debate that has been playing out on Twitter. Is white culture a real thing? Should we use the term at all? Tune in to find out.
