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 Trump's legal immigration policies, the new DHS secretary, the end of the Iran war, and Trump's spat with Pope Leo. To begin, I take a look at CATO’s new report. What has Trump done to reduce legal immigration? I talk for a bit about how the retard right influencers know their audiences are stupid—and how this shapes their commentary. Later, I discuss the new DHS secretary, Markwayne Mullin. Is he going to deliver? In the second half of the show, I switch gears to talk about the latest with Iran. I argue that, even if this ceasefire doesn’t hold, it’s evidence that Trump is averse to starting another “forever war.” I then consider the U.S. blockade on Iran and outline why I’m cautiously optimistic. Toward the end of the show, I examine Trump’s ongoing spat with Pope Leo. Is the Pope more right-wing than every Republican, as some have claimed? Or is he really just a liberal at heart? Tune in to find out.
