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.

WAR WITH IRAN (Twitter Space)
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.

Is the Right-Wing Influencer Class Irredeemable?
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comNote: I apologize for missing last week’s show. I ended up stranded and unable to return home due to the bad weather. I will have another show up by the end of the weekend to make up for it. Does the entire right-wing influencer class need to go? Was Epstein chopping off people's feet with a scimitar? Can the right survive without important thought leader Sarah Stock? Tune in to the latest episode of Restoring Order to find out.To begin, I review polling data indicating that the public is far less opposed to Trump’s immigration agenda than many have claimed. I then take a look at the EEOC’s investigation into Nike for being anti-white. Next, I review some excerpts from Mystery Grove’s latest essay. Does the entire right-wing influencer class need to be killed? Maybe. I then examine the Epstein files and explain why the masses are misinterpreting them. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I review some ridiculous responses to the more grandiose accusations in the Epstein files. I talk about Chuck Johnson, the admitted federal informant in the Epstein files whose spurious claims are being presented as fact. I then provide my basic read on Epstein: what he did and what he didn’t do. Next, I review my Twitter spat with Morgoth, a former Restoring Order guest who recently went off the deep end. I argue that he represents a common archetype in these spaces: aging, disgruntled, low info, and hysterical – the type of person to fire off edgy “might makes right” tweets but then cry about ICE shooting race communists. I explain how, without me and my circle of friends on Twitter, the online right would be irredeemable. Toward the end of the show, I discuss Sarah Stock, whose affair with Elijah Schaffer recently came to light. I argue that, while it’s always sad to see people destroy their lives, the right is better off without these people. I talk about the hypocrisy inherent in much of the “trad” influencer scene. I close out the show by considering whether we need more stupid people misapplying red-pills they just discovered and clearly don’t understand.

Another Anti-ICE Agitator Gets Shot
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn this episode of Restoring Order, I cover the Border Patrol shooting in Minneapolis and the recent arrest of an anti-ICE, pro-Hitler lunatic.I begin by addressing the elephant in the room: I have a new mic. I then review some recent scientific findings, which reveal that paid subscribers to my podcast enjoy better life outcomes than the benighted free subscribers. Moving on, I take a look at what transpired in Minneapolis today. I review footage of both the shooting itself and the rioting that broke out almost immediately afterward. I once again outline why the anti-ICE agitators are really no different from black people who die at the hands of the police and later become Black Lives Matter saints. This leads to a brief discussion of why Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar is better than Diet Coke. Toward the end of the first half, I examine Tim Walz’s pathetic response to the Border Patrol shooting. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I examine some footage of the unrest that broke out in Minneapolis following the shooting. I then explain why it's important for both the administration and right-wing media to continue highlighting the heinous illegal scumbags anti-ICE activists are protecting. Moving along, I discuss the 5-year-old child hoax. I note that a few conservative commentators fell for it. I compare this to conservatives' response to the Covington Catholic incident, and explain why so many on the right keep failing these basic tests. Toward the end of the show, I discuss someone who was recently arrested for threatening ICE officers online. The individual in question, a Hispanic zoomer, is anti-MAGA and anti-ICE, yet pro-Hitler and anti-Semitic. I recount the multiyear influencer operation design to convince people that thinking in terms of right vs left was "Jewish." Why are people committed to such idiotic takes? Tune in to find out.

The Truth About Jeffrey Epstein
Michael Tracey is an independent journalist who has devoted considerable time to bringing the truth about Jeffrey Epstein to light. He joins me to discuss his work. To begin, I ask Michael Tracey to tell us how he got started. After outlining his origin story, Michael tells us why most Epstein books and documentaries are, at best, unreliable. This leads to a discussion on Epstein 101: who he was, what he did, and how he got his money. Michael explains that it’s actually fairly easy to determine how Epstein got rich. We then discuss how influencers manipulate their audiences with stupid and dishonest questions. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers, link in reply), we explain why picking apart the Epstein conspiracy theories doesn't constitute "defending Epstein." I then ask Michael what we know for certain that Epstein did wrong, and he takes us through the infamous 2005 Palm Beach case. We talk about how this case proves Epstein was a perverted criminal, but explain why this falls short of the Epstein conspiracy theories. We discuss Little Saint James. I ask Michael if there was a single documented instance of an underage girl visiting the island. This leads to a discussion on some of Epstein's most outspoken victims, whose claims are more than a little questionable. Toward the end, we consider the popular belief that Epstein "belonged to intelligence." Michael outlines the origins of this quote and argues that it shouldn't be taken seriously. Why is that?

ICE Cold Takes
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn this stream, I review footage of a brave patriot defending himself from various left-wing freaks at an anti-ICE protest. I then take a look at a few egregiously bad ICE takes from people on the right, discuss Trump’s war on anti-whiteness, and talk about other related topics before continuing with my Lies of P playthrough.

ICE SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS

MADURO'S OUT! HUGE PATRIOT W!
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comJoin me for a celebration of the successful extradition of Nicolás Maduro. I explain why his regime was bad news, why this won’t trigger a refugee crisis, and why this is different from Bush-era foreign policy. I also review some particularly egregious takes coming from the low-IQ black-pillers on Twitter, giving them the ridicule they deserve. Toward the end of the stream, I continue with my Lies of P playthrough.

Somali Fraud in Minnesota
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn the latest episode of Restoring Order, I tackle the most pressing issues of our time: redistricting, Somali fraud, and whether a “former” crossdressing communist should be a right-wing thought leader. I begin by recapping the first year of Trump’s second term. I outline three things I think this administration did well, and three things it did poorly. I then discuss the redistricting battle. Was it a failure? Next, I cover the Minnesota fraud scandal, explaining that there are actually several fraud scandals, all of which involve Somalis. In the second half of the show, I continue discussing the Somali daycare scandal. What, if anything, will the Trump administration do? With the serious stuff out of the way, I move on to a less serious but more entertaining topic: the saga of “Vrillium,” a content creator in the retard right whose past as a bisexual crossdressing communist was recently exposed. I talk about this new crop of “based” influencers and explain why they are a net negative for the right. This leads to a discussion of Sneako and Clavicular, both of whom recently called JD Vance “subhuman.” I explain why Clavicular’s shtick falls flat for me—and why his attempts at political commentary can be easily dismissed. As for Sneako…is a half-Haitian, half-Filipino drama streamer really qualified to comment on others’ racial purity? Tune in to find out.

Was AmFest a Win for Patriots?
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn this episode of Restoring Order, I discuss AmFest, the infamous Woman Propaganda slap incident, and a recent essay by David Azerrad on the so-called JQ.I start off by reviewing a clip from Vance at AmFest, in which he says that people no longer have to apologize for being white. I then review inaccurate and bad-faith responses to this from both the right and the left. I then give my thoughts on the event overall, including the speeches given by Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson. I conclude the first half by talking about the absurd responses to an AI-generated image of Captive Dreamer and Nicki Minaj. Is Academic Agent one of the dumbest guys on Twitter? He says he isn’t, but I’m unconvinced. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I discuss the AmFest straw poll. What does it say about the state of the right? Switching gears, I recount the Woman Propaganda slap saga. I explain why being thinskinned online can lead to disaster. Toward the end of the show, I discuss David Azerrad’s article on the Jewish question in Compact Magazine. I outline the parts of the essay with which I agree and offer a few critiques. What might those be? Tune in to find out. Note: Riverside failed to pick up the audio for the browser tabs, so there’s no sound for the clips. Apologies!

What Makes Gen Z Unique ft. Connor Tomlinson
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comConnor Tomlinson is YouTuber and senior contributor to Courage Media. He joins me for a broad discussion on generational differences, technology, immigration, Israel, and much more. To begin, Connor recounts his intellectual journey. We then discuss the uniqueness of Gen Z. We talk about the role technology plays in shaping each generation, and how the internet redefined the very nature of community. And what about Gen Alpha? Is it over for them? I offer an accelerationist perspective on Gen Alpha: once we know what they’re like, it will be too late to act. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers, link in reply), we continue our discussion of Gen Alpha, pondering whether AI will be its primary shaping factor. We then move along to discuss everyone's favorite topic: Israel. Connor took a trip there earlier this year. What was that like? We discuss the differing attitudes on the West Connor encountered among Israelis, and how these attitudes compare to those of the Jewish diaspora. This leads to a consideration of Tucker Carlson's recent defense of Muslims at AmFest. As a Brit, Connor offers a fact-based, firsthand account of the threat Islam poses not only to Europe, but to America as well.Subscribe to Connor on YouTubeFollow Connor on XSubscribe to Connor’s SubstackFind all of Connor’s links here

Dark Abundance ft. Drew Pavlou
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comDrew Pavlou is a Twitter pundit, writer, and YouTuber. He joins me for a broad discussion on his intellectual journey, liberalism, immigration, and more. To begin, Drew details his intellectual journey, including his anti-CCP campus activism. He recounts how leftists attacked him for being white, which leads to an important question: Are Greeks white? I argue yes. Next, Drew explains how getting robbed prompted him to move rightward. We also discuss the threat of mass immigration, his thoughts on Noah Smith and Matt Yglesias, and why becoming a liberal human rights activist to own Israel, whatever your thoughts on Israel, isn’t the right move. In the second half (available to subscribers, you must SUBSCRIBE), Drew recounts his Twitter beef with Captive Dreamer. How did that start—and how did it end? Moving along, we discuss his “Dark Abundance” concept. Drew explains how his vision differs from Ezra Klein’s. This leads to a discussion on liberalism. Drew argues that law and order and national identity are not mutually exclusive with rule of law and representative government. We discuss why Japan is a problem not only for neoconservatives, but also for some on the dissident right. Toward the end, we consider whether right-wing goals can be achieved within contemporary Western political systems.(Note: Riverside picked up my webcam mic, but it should still be listenable. Apologies!)Follow Drew on TwitterSubscribe to Drew’s SubstackSubscribe to Drew’s YouTube channel Find all of Drew’s links here

Cinnabon Has Fallen
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn the latest episode of Restoring Order, I cover the most pressing issues of our time, like whether the Cinnabon employee who was fired for saying the n word is a hero of the white race, as some claim. I begin with an apology: I missed last week’s episode. To make up for this, I promise to post two this week—this one, and one that will be posted by the end of the weekend. Moving along, I talk about how diversity isn’t exactly playing out as liberals intended, as evidenced by a group of students at a predominantly Hispanic high school forming a human swastika. I then discuss Crystal Wisley, the Cinnabon employee who lost her job for yelling racial slurs at customers. Is this behavior worth defending? I point out the fact that she has a black son, whom she initially used to exonerate herself from charges of racism—until she realized that racists were the ones donating to her, at which point she claimed he had a skin condition. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I attack the notion that guns are a bulwark against tyranny. Our ruling class has subjected us to various injustices (e.g. covid restrictions) despite the considerable number of firearms in America. Shifting gears, I discuss the 2025 National Security Strategy. What does it have to say about immigration? I take a moment to appreciate how far we’ve come. I conclude by discussing a unique and underdiscussed aspect of America: that it was a nation created by design. What implications does this have for American identity and immigration policy? Tune in to find out.

National Guard Shooting, MTG Crashes Out, and Tucker Shills for Muslims
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn this episode of Restoring Order, I discuss the National Guard shooting, MTG’s crashout, Tucker’s pro-Muslim statements, and much more. First, I discuss the Afghan national responsible for killing one National Guardsman and critically injuring another. I then outline why national building was arguably the worst aspect of neoconservative foreign policy. I discuss Trump’s response to the shooting and explain why America needs an immigration moratorium. I then argue that, while Trump winning in 2024 was undeniably beneficial for the right, we need whoever succeeds him to be even more right-wing. Toward the end of the first half, I begin my discussion of Marjorie Taylor Green’s incredible crashout. In the second half of the show, available to subscribers, I explain the real reasons why MTG turned on Trump – and why it’s a good thing she’s on her way out. I then consider why people who get really into anti-Semitism wind up going insane and/or moving leftward. Given that there are valid critiques of US-Israel policy and some Jewish organizations, I view this as a problem and encourage people to stop losing their minds. Later, I review Tucker’s comments about Muslims and explain why Pakistani cab drivers are not a constituency worth courting. In the spirit of charitability, I concede that there is a certain strain of pro-Israel conservatism that is only concerned with mass immigration when it involves Muslims. I critique this position, but remind the audience that one needn’t subscribe to that view to take issue with Muslim immigration. Toward the end of the show, I explain why Academic Agent’s position on Muslims is incorrect. Patriots are not forced to choose between opposing migrants or the elites who import them – we can and should do both.

A Zoomer Backpacks Through Africa ft. Tate Brown
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comTate Brown is a presenter at Timcast. He joins me to discuss his travels across Africa. To begin, I ask Tate how he got into media work. This leads to a discussion on the role mainstream figures, who are not fully aligned with the right, can nevertheless move things in the right direction. Tate and I then consider whether the online right’s adversarial nature comes with any downsides. We then switch gears to the main topic: Africa. How the hell did Tate get the idea to travel there? We learn that reading Bronze Age Mindset was a factor. Before landing in Kenya, Tate had a 30-hour layover in Qatar. What was that like? Tate explains that, having been to both Israel and Qatar, he’s a double agent. I desperately plead for the Qatari government to stop paying people to call me Jewish on Twitter. Toward the end of the first half, Tate tells us about his first impressions of Kenya – and the time Kenyan police mistook him for a Russian spy. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers, link in reply), Tate continues recounting his trip to Africa. After Nairobi, he went to Diani Beach, where locals and camels team up to mog unsuspecting travelers. During his attempt to cross the border to Tanzania, however, things took a turn for the worse. After a narrow escape, Tate made it to Malawi, which, he explains, was one of his favorite countries in Africa. Tate tells us about trying khat, a leaf people in Africa enjoy chewing as a recreational stimulant. Later, Tate tells us about what it was like to explore Zimbabwe and South Africa. Were they as rundown and unsafe as the internet would have you believe? Toward the end of the show, Tate offers some travel advice to younger guys eager for adventure.Follow Tate on TwitterWatch Tate’s videos for Timcast here

Regime Change from the Right ft. Martin Sellner
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comMartin Sellner is an Austrian political activist and theorist. He returns to the show to discuss his latest book, Regime Change from the Right. In the first half of the show, we catch up a bit, discuss Trump’s progress so far, and examine the relationship between the administration and the online right. We then discuss regime change: What is it? Martin then explains why he considers himself a conservative revolutionary. Next, we discuss what he has termed the reconquista strategy, and why fleeing cities to form communities isn’t a path to power. In the second half of the show, we continue discussing a few non-strategies Sellner outlines in his book. He explains why what some bloggers refer to as elite infiltration is a recipe for failure. We then discuss the danger of apocalyptic thinking: the view that victory can only arise from a deus ex machina. I relate this perspective to Machiavelli’s thoughts on fortuna and the importance of virtue. We then discuss what Sellner terms gangsterism, and why it’s a dead end for the right. Later, Sellner outlines the proper organization for a right-wing political movement. To conclude, we consider how a radical flank can move the right in a better direction.

The Truth About Autism ft. Crémieux
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comCrémieux is a bioinformatician, writer, and Twitter poster. He joins me for a broad discussion on social science, autism, gene editing, and credentialism. To begin, Crémieux recounts his intellectual journey. Next, I ask him to provide a brief overview of his political views. He explains that he isn’t really a conservative. Instead, his primary focus is longevity: living for as long as possible. We then discuss the importance of social science, which some on the right unfairly dismiss. Toward the end of the first half, we explore autism. Why are the rates increasing so dramatically? Crémieux believes he has the answer, and he also believes that the Trump administration is wrong on this. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), we switch gears a bit to discuss peptides. What are they, and what can they do for you? Crémieux provides a few examples. We then discuss recent advances in gene editing. Apparently it can regrow capillaries in your scalp to revitalize your hairline. It can also regrow capillaries somewhere else. I clarify perhaps too emphatically that, while I find these procedures fascinating from a scientific perspective, I’m in need of neither. Moving along, we discuss credentialism. Crémieux argues that it’s on its way out for various reasons. Is that good or bad? And should we attempt to salvage our universities or create rival institutions? We conclude by talking about Romania’s education system, which succeeds by administering IQ tests to both teachers and students. What can we learn from such a system? Tune in to find out.

Do Leftists Still Run Twitter? ft. Alaric the Barbarian

He joins me for a broad discussion on his posting career, recent revelations about who’s running Twitter, and his new book, Schizoposting. To begin, Alaric offers us his origin story. We learn about his threads on the conquistadors, which blew up, earning him the coveted Elon follow. Next, I ask Alaric about the Visigothic king whose name he adopted. What can we learn from the life of Alaric I? Was he based or cringe? We then discuss recent developments on Twitter, including the suspensions of respected patriots and the revelation that leftists are running the platform. I argue that Twitter isn’t doing enough to combat botting and platform manipulation. I then ask Alaric about his book, Schizoposting.In the second half (available to subscribers), we discuss the bizarre media environment we find ourselves in today. We then talk about the introduction to Alaric’s book, in which he differentiates between historic and essential conceptions of man. What role does deracination play in how we understand ourselves? Shifting gears, Alaric argues that much of the mid-2010s social justice stuff—particularly feminism—was downstream from the Obama administration. I ask him if he thinks that op backfired, given the results of the 2016 election. We then discuss how violence shapes human psychology and colors even non-violent interactions. Toward the end of the show, we discuss the final, more prescriptive part of Schizoposting.Follow Alaric on TwitterBuy SchizopostingRead Schizoposting for free

Trump Cracks Down on the Left ft. The Prudentialist
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comThe Prudentialist returns to Restoring Order for a wide-ranging discussion on leftism, Trump, and the future of the American right.To begin, we discuss Assata Shakur. Who was she? Why is the left mourning her passing? We then discuss left-wing terrorism and consider why the institutional right, unlike the left, disavows its more radical elements, even when they are peaceful and law-abiding. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), we discuss Trump’s crackdown on left-wing terrorism. What has he done so far? Is it enough? Prude argues that deterrence is the best option when you lack cultural control. Later, we differentiate between effective and ineffective ways of pressuring the Trump administration. Toward the end of the show, we consider what awaits America once Trump is no longer president.

Liberty, Order, and Civilization ft. Jeremy Kauffman
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comJeremy Kauffman is the founder and former owner of Odysee. He is also the former executive director and a former board member of the Free State Project. Jeremy joins me for a broad discussion on his work, libertarianism, MAGA, and the state of Western civilization. We begin by discussing Jeremy’s ideological journey, including how he became a libertarian. He recounts how LBRY, which he invented, was destroyed by the federal government. We then discuss left versus right libertarianism. This leads to a consideration of whether there is hope for a national restoration in America. Jeremy is pessimistic about that. Later, Jeremy argues that humans do not know how to maintain liberty, and that experimentation in governance could help solve that problem. In the second half (available to subscribers), Jeremy and I shift gears to discuss property rights. Moving on, we discuss the libertarian conception of civilization. I ask Jeremy how libertarians can appreciate civilization, given that it has historically entailed the existence of a state. Jeremy outlines his minarchist perspective in response. I offer a Burkean perspective, arguing that while civilization does entail a state, other, non-state spheres develop organically and play a critical role in civilization—spheres that the universal liberal state seeks to infiltrate and control. Later, we discuss Trump, with Jeremy offering a supportive (yet critical) libertarian perspective on the MAGA movement. He argues that while he supports mass deportations, he would prefer them to be done in a more libertarian manner. But what the hell would that look like? Tune in to find out.

Trump Federalizes the D.C. Police
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn this episode of Restoring Order, I provide some immigration white-pills, explore President Trump’s recent decision to federalize MPD, and take a look at what the data says about crime in the nation’s capital. I start off by discussing a recent report from the Center for Immigration Studies, which reveals a 2.2 million decline in the foreign-born population. I explain why this is the direct result of Trump’s policies – and why we’re just getting started. I then refute the myth that Obama deported tons of illegals. Shifting gears, I recap what transpired last week with the attack on Big Balls. I then explain what Trump has done in the wake of that attack, including his decision to take control of D.C. police. This leads to a question: Why is the left so opposed to law and order? I discuss some of the dynamics at play. Toward the end of the first half, I watch some TikToks from D.C. locals, who are quite shocked by this turn of events. In the second half (available to subscribers), I take a look at the left’s response to the federalization of MPD. I review a recent piece from Robert Reich, in which he argues that Trump’s move to federalize MPD is a test run for taking over the country. Clearly, he’s nuts. But then again, Trump did float the idea of doing similar things elsewhere, in cities like Chicago. Moving along, some argue that crime in D.C. isn’t that bad. I examine the data. But can we trust it? After all, a D.C. police commander was fired in May for undercounting certain felonies. Tune in to find out the truth about crime in the nation’s capital.

Religion on the Right
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn this week’s episode of Restoring Order, I cover Trump’s debanking executive order, the attack on the DOGE staffer in D.C., why Mr. Brightside is a terrible song, and the intersection of religion and politics on the right. First, I review Trump’s executive order on debanking, explaining why it’s so necessary. I contrast debanking with other forms of deplatforming and argue that it is far worse. I then discuss the attack on Edward Coristine, otherwise known as Big Balls. I talk about crime in D.C. and Trump’s response. Toward the end of the first half, I explain why Mr. Brightside should be banned. In the second half (available to subscribers), I dive into the religion topic. BAP recently argued that it’s time for the secular right to run things. What does he mean by that? Does he have a point? I also discuss some of the counterarguments people on Twitter responded with. I argue that both sides, despite their differences, are talking past each other since everyone involved in the debate likes Trump, who, in my view, strikes an ideal balance between religiosity and secularism. I then review the 2024 religious voting trends and overall trends in American religion. Has Christianity declined? Where are we headed as a country? Tune in to find out. Note: I missed last week’s episode, so I’ll be sure to do an extra one before the month ends. Apologies!

Trump's War on Anti-White Discrimination
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comWhat is Trump doing to combat anti-white discrimination? Have there been multiple "great replacements" throughout American history? And what are we to make of the whites-only town in Arkansas? Join me as I explore these and other issues. I first discuss Trump bringing Columbia to heel, and then talk about the Trump admin's broader war on race communism. I then outline what the administration has done well. Next up: immigration and American identity. And what do I mean when I say there have been multiple great replacements throughout American history? In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I discuss Return to the Land, a white nationalist town in Arkansas that recently went viral. I outline my misgivings, explaining that while I support freedom of association, getting a bunch of people who listen to racist podcasts to move into the same town and broadcasting it to the world isn't the best idea. I detail the failures of the white nationalist movement and explain why people involved tend to disavow it all and become liberals. Is there a better way to go about things? Tune in to find out.

The Age of Envy ft. Forrest Maready
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comForrest Maready is an author who previously worked in the film, television, and advertising industries. He joins me to discuss his recent book, The Age of Envy: 1848-Present.To begin, I ask Forrest about his background. We hear about what it was like to work on movies and his unique take on Christianity. Moving on to his book, I ask about the significance of 1848. Forrest explains why he centered his book around three events that took place that year. This leads to a discussion on how the steam-powered printing press, train, and telegraph changed how humanity perceives itself—and not always for the best. Envy, Forrest argues, is in many ways downstream from technology. And as we all know, envy is a central component of leftism. In the second half (available to subscribers), we explore whether envy is inevitable, given how natural inequality is. This leads to a consideration of democracy and how it measures up to pre-democratic political systems. I argue that while we must be pragmatic – there’s no bringing back monarchy – we should be honest about how mass democracy impedes certain political reforms. Shifting gears, Forrest discusses the concept of post-truth. How can nations continue to exist when people have widely different conceptions of reality? We wrap up the show by pondering if envy will destroy civilization—or if there’s a way out of the madness. Buy the bookForrest’s Amazon pageForrest’s websiteFollow Forrest on Twitter

The Essential Paul Gottfried ft. Nightmare Vision
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comNightmare Vision is a prolific Twitter poster and a cohost of the popular Night Owls podcast. He edited The Essential Paul Gottfried, Essays from 1984–2024, which Passage Press will publish on August 19. To begin, I ask NV whether he and his cohost, Future Moldovan Citizen, are obligated to agree with each other on everything. This leads to a retrospective on Night Owls, which is celebrating its first anniversary sometime this month. I ask NV whether Night Owls is a synecdoche for something much bigger. We then discuss the role of the internet in shaping the right. I ask NV how he found himself as the Gottfried collection’s editor. He explains how it happened and talks about the challenges associated with editing down decades’ worth of writing. We then get to the book, the first chapter of which is about fascism and anti-fascism. Why start there?In the second half (available to subscribers), we discuss a Gottfried essay on Karl Marx and wokeness. Gottfried argues that Marx wasn’t woke – but why? Next, we move on to the chapter on the Germans, whose contributions to civilization Gottfried is particularly fond of. NV explains Gottfried’s thoughts on the tragedy of post-war German identity. We also cover Gottfried’s writings on the right, from the old-school paleocons to the alt-right. Despite coining both terms, Gottfried no longer uses the latter. Why is that? Tune in to find out.

The Life and Times of Delicious Tacos ft. DT
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comWriter and poster Delicious Tacos joins me for a wide-ranging discussion on life, work, and love in the modern world. To begin, Tacos outlines his views and explains why he isn’t a political writer. We then get into his posting career and discuss why his work can be likened to a time capsule. Next, we discuss online dating. Tacos explains how the shift from websites like OkCupid to apps like Tinder changed the game. We consider how online dating platforms select for different traits, favoring some men over others. We then discuss how political polarization reshaped online dating. Tacos shares a few personal anecdotes and offers some advice to younger guys toward the end of the first half. In the second half (available to subscribers), Tacos wraps up his advice by encouraging people to find ways to get outside their heads. We then shift gears to discuss how America has changed in recent years. Tacos argues that there has, in fact, been a vibe shift and that America is moving in a saner direction. We talk for a bit about internecine right-wing feuding. I point out that we saw quite a bit after Trump’s 2016 victory, so some fracturing this year is to be expected. Returning to the subject of dating, I ask Tacos if he thinks the odd state of sexual relations will get weirder as time goes on – thanks in large part to technological changes – or if things have settled a bit in that regard. We then consider the relationship between technology and community for a bit, and close out with Tacos offering some tips for aspiring writers.

It should be listenable nonetheless.)

Is Transhumanism Inevitable? ft. Joe Allen
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comJoe Allen is a writer and tech correspondent at Steve Bannon’s War Room. He joins me for a broad discussion on technology, transhumanism, and his book, Dark Aeon: Transhumanism and the War Against Humanity. To begin, Joe recounts his intellectual journey. We hear about his work at the War Room. Then we shift to the topic at hand: technology. I argue that we are in the early stages of a wildly disruptive technological wave. This leads to a discussion of futurism, transhumanism, and post-humanism – what they are, and how they differ. We then consider whether technological development is inevitable. The answer is complicated. We talk about AI 2027, a recent report from a few AI experts that predicts artificial intelligence could annihilate humanity in two years. This leads to some musings on the rationalist scene, from which AI 2027 came. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I ask Joe why he's so worried about transhumanism. He outlines his two main reasons, explaining that transhuman ideology can be destructive even if the technological advances it promises never come to be. We then shift gears to talk about Yuval Harari, and whether he is the evil transhumanist figure some believe him to be. Later, we consider the relationship between religion and technology. Toward the end of the show, we discuss the challenges technology presents to man, particularly the challenge of remaining human. Buy Dark Aeon Follow Joe on TwitterSubscribe to Joe’s Substack

The 2025 Los Angeles Riots ft. Josiah Lippincott
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comJosiah Lippincott is a veteran of the Marine Corps, where he served as an artillery officer. He is also a prolific Twitter poster, writer, and PhD candidate at Hillsdale College. He joins me for a broad discussion on the Los Angeles riots. We begin by discussing the Big Beautiful Bill. What does it do? Why are some on the right attacking it? Josiah reminds us that Trump ran on immigration, not the deficit. Speaking of immigration, we change topics to the Los Angeles riots, covering how and why they began. Josiah offers his take. This leads to a consideration of the third-world dysfunction we’ve imported thanks to mass immigration. We argue that order is a prerequisite to liberty – and that increased diversity is a threat to both. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I ask Josiah for his thoughts on how the authorities have handled the riots so far. Shockingly, he tells us that he thinks they should crack down much harder. I play devil's advocate and ask if that would hurt the GOP in midterms and 2028. This leads to a discussion on the logistics of restoring order to the streets of Los Angeles. Toward the end of the show, I ask Josiah whether he thinks Gavin Newsom should be arrested. We discuss ways the Trump administration can disincentivize future rioting. And are these riots organic or planned? Tune in to find out. Follow Josiah on XSubscribe to Josiah’s Substack

Was DOGE a Dud? ft. PEG
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comPascal-Emmanuel Gobry is a Twitter pundit and the Publisher of PolicySphere. He joins me to discuss his work, DOGE, and the future of the American right. First, we hear about PEG’s background. How did a Frenchman come to be so invested in American politics? He explains that he is carrying on the fine French tradition of lecturing Americans about their own country. We then discuss PolicySphere and the importance of understanding how the government works. Switching gears, we consider DOGE. Did it succeed? Was it a failure? PEG explains why laying off bureaucrats doesn’t always render the government more efficient. Toward the end of the first half, we discuss the different skill sets required for public and private sector work. In the second half (available to subscribers), PEG and I point out the silver lining to DOGE. We then switch topics to discuss PolicySphere’s quality of life agenda. PEG explains that while Trump’s 2024 victory was heartening, we shouldn’t ignore the fact that not all Trump voters are committed Republicans. So, how do we keep their vote? By improving their quality of life through policies designed to keep America safe, orderly, happy, and healthy. What might those be? Tune in to find out.

How Trump Can Help the Afrikaners ft. Conscious Caracal
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comErnst J. van Zyl (Conscious Caracal) is Head of Public Relations at AfriForum, an Afrikaner advocacy organization. He joins me for a discussion on the situation in South Africa. We first hear about Ernst’s upbringing. What was it like to grow up in South Africa? We then discuss AfriForum’s objectives and initiatives. This leads to a consideration of the overall situation in South Africa. Is it really as bad as it’s made out to be? Next, we discuss the country’s complex demographic makeup and how it contributes to the chaos. At the end of the first half, I ask Ernst if there are any liberals among South Africa’s white minority – and if so, what the hell they’re thinking. In the second half (available to subscribers), we shift gears to explore recent events. What has it been like for Ernst and his compatriots to witness the U.S. president not only bringing attention to their cause but also taking action? Ernst gives us his take on the refugee program, and I ask him what else the Trump administration can do to assist. This leads to a consideration of the options available to Afrikaners – namely, electoral politics versus building parallel institutions. As Ernst explains, AfriForum is primarily concerned with the latter. Toward the end, I ask whether he sees any parallels between America and South Africa. Tune in to find out whether or not he does!Follow Conscious Caracal on TwitterSubscribe to Conscious Caracal on YouTubeSupport AfriForum

Freedom and Decline ft. Bronze Age Pervert
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comI’m joined by legendary Twitter poster, writer, and podcaster Bronze Age Pervert for a sprawling discussion on his work, American politics, religion, and much more. To begin, BAP recounts the origin of his posting career. I ask what Twitter was like before 2016, and how it has changed over the years. This leads to a consideration of whether the term “dissident right” is at all useful anymore. We then talk about how right-wing Twitter has gotten dumber in recent years. BAP calls a few people out. I ask him what advice he has for young men, leading to a discussion on political strategy. Is infiltrating institutions the right move? We then consider the “don’t go to college” meme that conservatives love to regurgitate. In the second half (available to subscribers, you must SUBSCRIBE!), we shift gears to talk about BAP's book, Bronze Age Mindset. What inspired him to write it? This leads to a discussion on the role freedom plays in his thought. BAP gives us a history lesson on the origin of the warrior class in the Bronze Age and the uniqueness of Indo-European culture. After pondering what BAP will do after the show concludes – drink? read erotic literature? – we change topics to discuss religion. We explore the complex relationship between religion and politics, including the problem with do-nothing "Christian conservatives" who opposed Trump yet have him to thank for their biggest wins. Toward the end, we discuss President Trump and his significance. What would things be like without him? Tune in to find out.

German Political Tumult ft. eugyppius
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comI’m joined by writer and Twitter poster eugyppius for a broad discussion on German politics. We first hear about his intellectual journey, which leads to a discussion on a recent Twitter argument he had with Vice President Vance. Next, we discuss the role American soft power plays in European politics. Is America to blame for European decline? eugyppius argues to the contrary. We then dive into Germany’s February election, which saw the right-wing AfD take second place. In response, German intelligence labeled it an extremist organization. What are the implications of that? (Note: This episode was recorded before German intelligence withdrew its extremist classification for AfD.)In the second half (available to subscribers), we continue our discussion of AfD's troubles. Interestingly, the German government tried to ban a different right-wing party in recent years – did it work? I then ask what the average AfD voter is like. Switching gears, we consider why the AfD is stronger in the east than in the west. Next, I ask eugyppius about Chancellor Merz's failure to secure a majority in the first round of voting, an unprecedented occurrence in post-war Germany. Later, we discuss Germany's economy, the various motivations behind mass migration, and more.Follow eugyppius on TwitterSubscribe to eugyppius on Substack

How the Internet Shapes Human Interactions ft. Mark Granza
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comMark Granza is the founder and editor-in-chief of IM-1776. He joins me to discuss how the internet, particularly social media, shapes our interactions. To begin, Mark tells us about his intellectual journey and the creation of IM-1776. We then switch gears to discuss his recent essay, “No Honor Among Mutuals,” which explores how online interactions differ from the normal way men are used to relating to each other. Offline, male feuding can lead to brotherhood; online, however, this is rarely the case. Why is that?In the second half (available to subscribers), we continue discussing the strange relationship between the internet and human interactions. We consider whether most online feuding would happen if the people involved were forced to regularly see each other in real life – and if not, why not? We then discuss how the internet turns people into abstractions and how this affects our online interactions. Toward the end of the show, we cover the motivations and incentives that drive online behavior: money, clout, ego...which is the most powerful? Tune in to find out.
