The Auron MacIntyre Show

Donald Trump has announced that serious peace negotiations are under way to end the war with Iran. Several key details are still up in the air, but you can tell the negotiations are serious because all of Trump's new neoconservative admirers are turning on him in response to the announcement. We'll dive into the breakup of the "New MAGA" coalition, along with some concerning remarks Marco Rubio just made at a summit with India.

Recently, a slew of "teen takeovers" has shut down areas of major U.S. cities, like Washington, D.C., Tampa, and Chicago. Stories are surfacing about malls banning "teens" because they are making shopping unsafe. We'll discuss why we are consistently seeing these euphemisms used to avoid addressing minority crime in the United States.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack: https://auronmacintyre.substack.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuronMacintyre Gab: https://gab.com/AuronMacIntyre YouTube:https://w...

The artificial intelligence boom has become one of the biggest engines of the American economy. It has also triggered growing backlash against the data centers that make the boom possible. Tech moguls have rushed to build giant warehouses packed with the computing power needed to run AI systems, but they have done almost nothing to explain to ordinary Americans why those facilities deserve so much land, water, electricity, and political favoritism. That failure should have created an obvious opening for libertarians. Governments shower data-center projects with subsidies, wield eminent domain to seize land, and help politically connected corporations reshape...

Ezra Klein of the New York Times recently released a podcast about liberalism in crisis. In a surprisingly insightful moment, Klein recognized that liberalism was failing because it had been severed from its traditions, but Klein spent the rest of the episode explaining why he hates so many of the people who founded those traditions. We'll dive in and analyze why this inability to reconcile the past with the goals of the current progressive movement will ultimately doom the Left.

Online Catholic personality Bishop Barron recently interviewed former leftist turned centrist Dave Rubin. The discussion felt like an odd relic ripped out of 2016. Both men seemed confused about the political landscape in front of them and why the moderately liberal utopia they envisioned never came to pass. The fact that a Catholic bishop also made no mention of Rubin's lifestyle or his use of surrogacy seemed like a cowardly dodge. We'll be breaking down some of the highlights from the interview that time forgot.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.c...

The construction of AI data centers is exploding across the United States, but many communities are rejecting them. In addition to questions about environmental impacts, many residents near data centers are experiencing terrible noise and large increases in their power bills. There has also been very little discussion of what these centers actually do to benefit Americans while increasing the likelihood of job layoffs and the capacity for government surveillance. Also, Pastor Chase Davis joins me to discuss his new book, "Offensive Christianity," which explains why masculine strength and Christianity are not at odds. Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts...

The fact that marriage in America is on the decline is concerning, but few people understand how deep the problem goes. Recent data shows the dismal marriage numbers in the United States. The percentage of married couples, average age at which couples are marrying, and number of children are all in catastrophic decline. The numbers represent a dramatic collapse in the institution that serves as a foundation for successful civilizations. Conservatives will often place the blame on a lack of individual virtue, and there is plenty of truth to that claim, but the most important factors are baked into...

As we continue our reading of Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince," we examine the political theorist's chapter on glory and why it is valuable to the ruler. Machiavelli encourages great undertakings and the appearance of virtuous behavior, but always with an eye to their political utility, not their moral value. We'll also explore Machiavelli's warning about fortresses and how it applies to figures like Donald Trump in the modern day.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack: https://a...

Alex Jones began his small news organization as a fringe outfit covering what are derisively called "conspiracy theories" but eventually grew to become one of the largest right-wing pundits in America. Along the way, Jones made some wild missteps but also had a surprising number of correct predictions. Jones was one of the first personalities to be deplatformed and face the full brunt of technological censorship. Long-running Infowars host Harrison Smith joins me to discuss the rise and fall of the network and what it means for the future.

Pro-life advocates have won big victories under Donald Trump, but they have always been unsatisfied with his public priorities. Activists are pushing for a ban of the abortion pill right before midterm elections because they have been unsuccessful with referendums on the state level. What many fail to understand is that despite the legal changes, the American culture and the financial system have now become entirely dependent on abortion. Without a shift in incentives, voters will continue to reject broad changes in abortion law. We'll also discuss a big ruling in Virginia that may have saved the midterms for...

In our modern world, it is very common to conflate motives we do not understand with some form of mental illness. This is understandable when it comes to horrific crime. Someone like a serial killer is so violent and twisted that it is hard for us to comprehend his actions, and there is certainly a fair amount of mental illness that is a factor. But today people often use this explanation when it comes to political disagreements. Abortion, hatred of Christians, the mutilation of children to turn a boy into a girl — these beliefs are so horrible that they ca...

Internet streamer Hasan Piker declared the United States a "white supremacist county" during a recent appearance. Piker is a spoiled rich idiot, but in his statements, he ironically echoed President Trump's remarks about America's Anglo-Saxon heritage. We'll look at what Piker gets wrong but also what he accidentally gets right when describing human nature.  We'll also look at Alexander Dugin's bizarre crashout against white people on social media.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack: https://auronmacintyre.su...

Vivek Ramaswamy has recently been caught on camera making two critical political errors. The candidate for governor of Ohio recently announced that he did not think Ohio was the best state and also explained why Jesus was not the one true son of God. Pastor Michael Clary has written a thoughtful piece on why Ramaswamy cannot conserve an American tradition he does not believe in. We will also discuss the current state of Christianity in the political landscape.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7C...

As we continue our reading of Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince," we reach what has probably become his most famous passage. Is it better for a ruler to be feared by his people or loved by his people? Is there a difference between fear and hatred? We'll also dive into Machiavelli's distinction between fox behavior and lion behavior and why the ideal ruler embodies both.   Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack: https://auronmacintyre.substack.com/ Twitter: https://t...

Donald Trump has survived another assassination attempt by an alleged deranged progressive. Thankfully, Cole Allen was never able to get a clear shot at the president, but the allegation that another radical leftist managed to smuggle a long gun into the event site should alarm everyone. Despite multiple assassination attempts against Trump and the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, progressives have only intensified their rhetoric, including open calls for violence. Democrats are not interested in turning down the temperature or abandoning political violence; they are only disappointed that the “lone wolves” they inspired have been unsuccessful. Progressives see political viol...

Many conservatives see American politics as a clash of ideologies in the marketplace of ideas. But there are other forces sitting under the surface that shape our elections. Large waves of immigration create foreign diasporas that seek to use their shared political power to secure advantages for their own communities, or in some cases to benefit the country they came from. We'll be looking at Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" to help us better understand the ramifications of this phenomenon.

President Trump has survived yet another assassination attempt as a crazed leftist opened fire at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Democratic politicians and pundits are circulating rhetoric about turning down the rhetoric on both sides but it is clear by the incredible number of attempts on Trump's life that one side is encourage a culture of assassination and violence. J. Burden joins me to discuss why conservatives haven't taken the subject seriously enough and how to make it stop.

The Department of Justice has charged the Southern Poverty Law Center with wire fraud as it allegedly funneled donor money to prop up the very extremist organizations it claims to fight. The SPLC isn't just another progressive NGO; it is responsible for training the FBI, local law enforcement, and many other organizations on matters related to hate crimes. That means the very organization training government agents to harass conservatives because they might be guilty of hate crimes was also defining what a hate crime is while paying leaders of organizations like the KKK to make the threat seem real...

Elon Musk has reignited the debate over universal basic income after predicting that artificial intelligence will eliminate most human jobs. We'll discuss the ramifications of UBI and why it would be a disastrous system for the United States.

Palantir is a tech company, founded by Peter Thiel, which has been integrated into several key functions of the U.S. government. The corporation recently released a fascinating manifesto, which reveals key aspects of how Palantir thinks about the intersection of government power, technology, corporations, and civic duty. This has wild implications for the future and interacts with many of the thinkers we have discussed previously, like Nick Land and Aleksandr Dugin.

Recently, a Haitian immigrant beat a woman to death without provocation at a Florida gas station.

Pedro Sanchez, the prime minister of Spain, has announced that the country will legalize 500,000 migrants, creating a massive political and demographic shake-up inside the country. Spain fought the Reconquista for hundreds of years to recapture its lands from North African Muslims. In the 20th century, the country fought a civil war and was ruled by Francisco Franco for decades to ward off communism. Despite all these efforts, Spain is ultimately racing toward the progressive open-borders suicide that so many other Western nations have pursued. So the question everyone is left asking is: If liberalism ultimately makes nations fragile, how...

We continue our examination of Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince" as the political theorist discusses the negative impact that maintaining virtuous behavior can have on a ruler. This is where Machiavelli earns his reputation as a teacher of evil. We will also look at how war is the central duty around which the philosopher believes the office of prince revolves.

It has been another wild weekend for the Trump administration.

From its earliest days, the United States saw itself as a nation with intense purpose — not a static country, not a museum of inherited customs, but a project. Alexander Hamilton envisioned a commercial republic that would rival the great powers of Europe. The doctrine of manifest destiny pushed that ambition across a continent. After World War II, the same impulse extended outward into global leadership. America, in other words, has always kept its eyes on the horizon.

For a brief moment, X stopped reading like a machine built to aggravate, divide, and degrade the people using it. Instead of the usual sludge of foreign bots and demoralizing propaganda, American users found themselves, thanks to a new auto-translation feature, staring at something unexpected: a flood of posts from Japan celebrating the United States. Monster trucks, backyard barbecue, Old West revolvers, bluegrass music, country songs, and all the rowdy symbols of American life that our own elites often treat as embarrassing were suddenly being admired from abroad.

America’s newest political battlefield runs through one of the most miserable places in the country: the airport. Democrats have held up funding for the Department of Homeland Security amid their ongoing war over ICE, and after a month without pay, TSA employees have started refusing to come to work. The result has been crippling delays at major airports, with waits stretching four hours or more and turning an already degraded flying experience into something closer to a public humiliation ritual. The brutal truth is that one political party is willing to disrupt travel across the country to protect il...

Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are increasingly willing to admit that they are attempting to reach salvation through artificial intelligence.

To say the conservative movement has come off the rails would comically understate the damage. Wild accusations bounce from show to show. Members of Congress pick petty fights on social media. President Trump even waded into internet drama while another war rages in the Persian Gulf. Plenty of commentators blame podcasts for this new disorder, and the new ecosystem gives them no shortage of bad behavior to cite. But that diagnosis misses the deeper cause. Establishment conservatives treated their audiences the same way the legacy press did: as a resource to be managed, manipulated, and occasionally milked. A movement...
