Restoring Order

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com Connor 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.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com Drew 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.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com On 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.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com On 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.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com Tate 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.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com Martin 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.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com Crémieux 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.

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 Twitter Buy Schizoposting Read Schizoposting for free

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com The 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.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com Jeremy 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.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com On this episode of Restoring Order, I discuss recent developments in Britain, including the migrant hotel protests and Operation Raise the Colours; the differences between American and European immigration; nationalism versus patriotism; and whether Twitter is indeed dead, as some claim.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com On 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.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com On 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!

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com What 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.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com Forrest 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 book Forrest’s Amazon page Forrest’s website Follow Forrest on Twitter

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com Nightmare 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.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com Writer 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.)

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com Joe 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 Twitter Subscribe to Joe’s Substack

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com Josiah 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 X Subscribe to Josiah’s Substack

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com Pascal-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.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com Ernst 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!

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com I’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.
