In this to-the-point episode of The Patrick Coffin Show, Father Calvin Robinson, British born broadcaster and author, dives into the state of modern Britain, the role of Christian faith in society, and the impact of global political movements, and the difference Donald Trump’s election means overseas.

The anti-woke, pro-free speech Robinson relates his experiences watching the "fall of the UK," pointing to the erosion of traditional values, the sidelining of Christianity, and the cultural shifts that have led to a crisis of national identity. 

Patrick and Father Robinson discuss how the Christian faith has been challenged by secularism in the West in the form of contemptuous censorship, and what the next right step looks like.  

Topics covered in this episode:

Why Father Robinson left his homeland and whether it's permanent
The roots of the slow decline of the essentially Christian Anglo-American Establishment
The plight of freedom fighters and nationalists like Tommy Robinson (no relation)
Why the election of Trump will have a ripple effect around the world for conservatism
The basic differences in temperament between Americans and the British
How Mohammedanism and Marxism work together for the enemy of mankind
Robinson's unexpected reaction to meeting Donald Trump

Ex-president Donald Trump finally sat down with Joe Rogan for an interview on October 25, and what a study in strangeness it was. 

Clocking in at three hours long, it was not only a marathon but it was a disjointed and rambling exchange despite Rogan's efforts at trying to keep Mr. Trump on track. The stand-out moment was when Rogan asked him about what everyone calls the assassination attempt in Butler, PA, on July 13, 2024.

Trump started one sentence, began another, pointed to two different areas of his ear, and stumbled through his standard narrative (“there was so much blood,” “I knew I was shot through the ear” “the Secret Service were terrific” etc) but really didn’t give Rogan a close look at his right here, to which Rogan sardonically replies, “it looks pretty f*cking pristine.”

Observations in this video:

Donald Trump has incredible physical stamina for a 78-year-old
Trump almost never speaks in full sentences, always phrases and clauses
We hear many times that Trump’s generals defeated the entire ISIS caliphate
Trump is “interested in abolishing federal income tax” with no particular strategy
Rogan asks him about when he switched from Dem to GOP and he said, “the early 90s,” except that Trump registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987 and has switched party affiliation five times since. In 1999, he switched to the Independence Party of New York, then in August 2001, Trump changed his party affiliation to Democrat; then in September 2009, he changed his party affiliation back to the Republican Party. In December 2011, Trump changed to "no party affiliation" (independent). But in April 2012, he again returned to the Republican Party.
When asked about the Butler PA event, Trump points his finger to two different places on his right ear and interrupts himself all over the place he says “it was a Top Shot” then he says it “I got zicked right here”....  and really does not show Joe Rogan his ear for more than one second.

Strange features of the Butler event:

1) why was Trump allowed to stand straight up —even though loosely surrounded by agents— five seconds after the gun sounds stopped? "They were told the shooter was neutralized." Really? Ever hear of "more than one shooter?" 
2) the photo of the bullet zinging by by Mr. Trump's head would only be visible if the shutter speed were set to at a very high shutter speed. So the photographer seemed to be either ready for a bullet capture or an exploding head.
3) The photographer's name?  Doug Mills of the NYT...the very same fellow who took the pic of Andy Card whispering into Dubya's ear in that classroom on 9/11. What are the odds?  
4) In the readymade, edited and published statement less than 90 minutes after getting shot in the ear by a long rifle, Trumps stated "a bullet was shot through my ear." His words. Two days later, Eric Trump tweeted that no stitches were needed. After the bandage was removed, all pics and video since show a pristine right ear. Odd. 
5) In his RCS speech, Mr. Trump described all the blood on his hand with which he touched his ear. Yet, the live feed footage and all the still pics show zero blood on his right hand. Strange thing to get wrong. 
6) I could fall down hundreds of times and my shoes would never fall off. Yet, Trump's did. He's on the hot mike asking to put his shoes back on. Bizarre.
7) The perfect "Iwo Jimaesque" photo of Trump with his defiant fist in the air, rivulets of blood on his face, and Old Glory fluttering gloriously in the background looks what some have called staged. Just noticing things and asking questions. 
8) Why are only two three cell phone clips available to the public when you can see many hundreds of cell phones held up filming? 
9) We are only allowed to see a small handful of "eyewitnesses" -- one a BBC interviewer talking to a MAGA guy in a beard and red visor. He was parroting the same thing the legacy media said a million times since, and we never learn his name. (There were similar blue collar "eye-witnesses" on the morning of 9/11 "expertly" describing jet fuel melting the steel infrastructures of the towers.) 
10) To this day we still know next to zero about this 20-year-old nerd "Thomas Crooks" except that he was in a Black Rock tv commercial.
FInal thought: how do you explain the massive audience size for this disjointed except that it validates Marshall McLean's dictum that “the medium is the message;” namely, you don't need to say coherent things so much as you just need to have interesting people: Joe Rogan the top podcaster and former president Trump, probably the most recognizable face in the world

In this episode of The Patrick Coffin Show, mystical theologian David Torkington discusses the urgent need for a return to prayer in today's fast-paced world in an upsidedown Catholic Church.
 
We’re all screwed up because we have forgotten how to pray.” That’s the basic gist of this conversation with a master of prayer and meditation. Drawing on themes from his new book Passport to Perfection (Essentialist Press) Torkington points out the biblical and apostolic roots of contemplative prayer, while exposing the faux versions so popular today. David, at 85 years young, reflects on his journey as a whistleblowing priest, a role that brought him both challenges and clarity to his priesthood as a Franciscan and as a Catholic. He also opens up about overcoming severe dyslexia, sharing how his condition shaped his spiritual life and the development of his theological insights. His message, delivered in his lovely English country gentleman accent, makes real the ideal of recovered hope and a deepened love for God.

He says the key is to reconnect with God through persistent and authentic prayer. This conversation sheds light on both the struggles and triumphs that have defined Torkington’s unique spiritual path, making his story both moving and practical: the way of the saints. 

Topics covered in this episode:

David’s earliest memories of wanting to pray
His decades-long suffering with severe and undiagnosed dyslexia
His call to the priesthood as a Franciscan
The punishment that ensued when he blew the whistle on priests and superiors who were living perverse double lives
Precisely what’s wrong with “centering prayer” and why the writings of Thomas Merton are suspect
The many examples of God asking impossible things in the New Testament
His free online course on prayer

The Antichrist is all the rage nowadays. In this video, author and host Patrick Coffin breaks down the biblical and traditional portraits of the Antichrist, and separates fact from fiction.

Since the 1970s in movies like “The Omen,” Hollywood has tried to artistically portray the Antichrist but almost always gets it wrong while over-dramatizing, yet paradoxically underestimating the evil involved.

Topics covered in this episode:

- The recent historical context for interest in the Antichrist
- The four places in the Bible where he is explicitly mentioned: 1 John 2:11; John 2:22, 1 John 4:3; 2 John 1:7.
- Examples of cultural and societal disruption and increased sense of evil and danger
- How the Conclave that resulted in the appearance of Jorge Mario Bergoglio is part of that disruption
- The three modes of antichrist: any spirit that denies the Incarnation; prototypes in history of the Antichrist; and the appearance of the real thing just before Christ returns.
- The qualities of the Antichrist in Scripture compared to the background and the behavior and aims of Elon Musk

Host Patrick Coffin sits down with Professor Eric Kaufmann, a leading expert on demographics and politics, to explore the sometimes sudden shifts in global population trends and their implications for religion, culture, and society. The conversation delves into the role of religion in shaping demographics, examining how fertility rates and religious adherence intersect and cause each other. They also discuss the influence of contraception on population growth and societal values.

A key focus of the conversation is the origins and meaning of "woke" ideology. Professor Kaufmann traces its roots to postmodern thought and explains how it became a dominant cultural force in the West, and how it has been weakened by real life. Together, these Canadian born ex-pats analyze the impact of this ideology on identity politics and public discourse, raising critical questions about the future of free speech in academic settings. This thought-provoking conversation provides listeners with a deep understanding of today's most pressing social and political issues.

Topics covered in this episode:

  • How Kaufman became interested in the Catholic-Protestant conflict in Northern Ireland
  • The role of religious faith in shaping culture and political norms
  • The slow decline of the Anglo-American establishment in world affairs
  • How the Malthusian population bomb scare tactics have been proven wrong overtime
  • The phenomena of first world empire nations such as England, Italy, the Netherlands and
  • Portugal are now facing demographic winter—and an massive influx of illegal migration from colonized countries
  • The best definition of woke
  • How Whiteness emerged as a category of the mind and a political too
