The Patrick Coffin Show | Interviews with influencers | Commentary about culture | Tools for transformation

Author and former criminal defense attorney Mark Shaw joins Patrick Coffin to discuss his explosive work new book Abuse of Power. Think the Charlie Kirk narrative is suspect? This is not the government's first rodeo. Central to the conversation is Dorothy Kilgallen, the famous journalist (and top panelist on the game show phenomenon What's My Line? who aggressively investigated the JFK assassination. Her biographer Shaw explains how "abusive power" operates through intimidation, disinformation, media control, and mysterious deaths. Kilgallen was the only reporter to interview Jack Ruby privately—and believed the official narrative was false. She publicly stated she would break the JFK story wide open—then was found dead under highly suspicious circumstances. Shaw draws chilling connections between JFK's assassination, the later murder of Robert F. Kennedy Sr., Kilgallen's death, and why Sirhan Sirhan deserves a new trial. All three cases involve: conflicting autopsy evidence; missing documents; compromised investigations; and media suppression Shaw argues these deaths reveal a pattern, not coincidence—a system protecting power at any cost. The discussion raises uncomfortable questions about: who controls historical narratives why certain truths are buried and how fear keeps journalists silent A sobering reminder that truth is temporarily dangerous—when it threatens entrenched power.

In this week's Coffin Report, Patrick covers the following three stories: Number One: Whom do you trust? The obvious candidates for government assets include: Tim Pool, Shawn Ryan, Nick Fuentes and Alex Jones. Patrick explains why each of these figures exhibit suspicious behavior as to their MO and general role in the selling of media narratives and agendae. Second Two: Patrick's commentary on his attending, Healing the Whole Person with Dr Bob Schuchtz and his team—especially Sister Miriam James Heidland. So much of Catholic evangelization is overly philosophical and theological, and less personal and human. We can talk about psychological and emotional wounds if we really want to help people come all the way to Christ and His Church.

How did the dispensationalist heresy become so entrenched in the protestant world? JOIN my community at True North: www.patrickcoffin.media

Ruth comes from an Ethiopian heritage and is currently training as a therapist while—very publicly through her thoughtful TikTok updates and witty commentary—exploring the Catholic Faith. She opens up about her deeply personal story, from growing up in a strong evangelical tradition, including a stint as a Mennonite, to wrestling with the historical claims of Rome. Her questions and doubts are expressed with refreshing directness and she isn't interested in glib answers. Patrick and Ruth get into a wide array of topics about authority and Scripture, trauma recovery strategies, the interplay of therapy and the healing grace of God, and the lived experience of growing up outside the Catholic Faith while slowly but surely peering in with increasing amounts of interest and—what's the best word?—longing. The conversation touches on her Ethiopian roots and the unique perspective this gives her on ancient forms of Christianity and on the continuity of the Church. Patrick asks about her TikTok presence, where she responds and interacts candidly about inner healing, attachment wounds, objections to the Faith, mental health, and prayer — and how these intersect with her growing interest in the Catholic worldview.

This week's Coffin Report features Patrick's top 5 Santa wish list items for Catholics. Let's stop using the word platform. It's for chickens who can't hold their own opinions. We need to throw out the Overton Window because it only applies to politics not evangelization. No more devil terms like anti-semite and homophobe, sedevacantist, and islamophobe. Let's replace the spirit of Vatican II with the letter of Vatican 2 Let's drop all adjectives before the word Catholic

Patrick interviews UK-based journalist Pia Varma, writer-creator of the Laissez Faire's Substack and Instagram, on the modern media environment and why people feel increasingly disoriented. Pia outlines how today's media ecosystem is deliberately saturated with conflicting narratives, half-truths, and rapid-cycle scandals that never resolve. Discussion of the Charlie Kirk Utah event, where the media constructed multiple contradictory storylines within hours—an example of how public perception is steered through confusion rather than clarity. Pia argues that misinformation is no longer about one big lie but about a thousand competing micro-narratives designed to exhaust the viewer. Patrick and Pia examine why the public is kept anxious, reactive, and overwhelmed—a disoriented population is easier to manipulate. They unpack how legacy media, activist journalism, and political operatives coordinate indirectly to influence mood and behavior. Pia offers strategies for mental resilience: slowing down, identifying patterns, and consuming information intentionally rather than passively.

1) Why is an Openly Gay Man getting his sin validated by this lavender New York parish, with the full permission of Cardinal Dolan? Since the internet knows, will Pope Leo act or speak up about the activities of James Martin, SJ, with whom he has gotten smiling photo ops? This is all unimaginable before March 13 2013. No previous pontiff would permit this, or daily to respond if it happened. 2) Whom do you trust in the media and why? Patrick lays out his criteria for reliability: ignore anon accounts, look to see corporate sponsorship and business interests behind the host/influencers, and observe donor patterns. Are they an apostolate or LLC? Whom do they promote? 3) Is Charlie Kirk dead or alive? Patrick has contacted the Maricopa County burial records office, the Hansen Mortuary and chapel where Charlie's remains (?) were embalmed (?) and contacted the Diocese of Phoenix and the office overseeing Catholic cemeteries. No one —not one—is willing to confirm or deny one tiny bit of information. Not personal or private things like literal grave location—just, is there any documentation verifying the death of Charles James Kirk on September 10, 2025?

Discussion on the attack against the Marian titles "Co-Redemptrix" and "Mediatrix of All Graces"—why they are not optional pious opinions but deeply rooted in Scripture and Sacred Tradition. John-Henry exposes how media manipulation and disinformation, both inside and outside the Church, distort the truth and erode confidence in authentic Catholic authority. Patrick explains that honoring Mary's unique role does not diminish Christ but magnifies His work through her perfect cooperation with grace. Breakdown of the "spirit of Vatican II" phenomenon in its relation to the letter of Vatican II, which has often replaced faithful continuity with doctrinal novelty and pastoral confusion. Insights into how Catholics can navigate media chaos with discernment, prayer, and solid catechesis. Both hosts call for a return to clarity, courage, and Marian devotion in the face of modernism and moral relativism. "Confusion is not from God—clarity is." — Patrick Coffin
