The Auron MacIntyre Show

For most of human history, scarcity was the enemy. Be it territory, land, wealth, calories, or energy, the majority of conflict and technological innovation was driven by the fact that resources were scarce. With the incredible explosion in scientific knowledge and technological advancement over the last few hundred years, the dynamic has shifted. Scarcity has not vanished across the globe, but in the wealthier and more advanced portions of the world, many of the critical material deficiencies have seen significant relief. The problem that many affluent nations now face is that the artificial solutions they developed to alleviate scarcity...

Elon Musk recently claimed that he will be challenging politicians who supported the spending in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and might start his own party based on opposing reckless spending. The billionaire even ended up debating the philosopher Nick Land on the issue. Could Musk's third party succeed where the Libertarian Party has failed?

This year's Pride Month is at an end and it is clear that the activists have lost significant momentum. War in the Middle East and riots in Los Anglos helped to wound a cultural movement which was already struggling from overexposure and a string of conservative victories. Does this mean the end of the Pride movement, or will gay rights simply return to a raunchier and more honest advocacy for the lifestyle?

President Donald Trump made clear from the start: A nuclear-armed Iran is unacceptable. Trump knows his voters support a strong defense — but they’re tired of wasting American blood and treasure to fight foreign wars while their country falls apart at home. Now that the U.S. has carried out a precision strike and set back Iran’s nuclear program, it’s time for Trump to return his full attention to rescuing America from Joe Biden’s open-border catastrophe.

The recent conflict between Israel and Iran created a bizarre roller-coaster ride that can only be described as hyperreal. Both Israeli and American leaders seemed to be moving the objective goalposts on a regular basis. Ceasefires were declared and then immediately violated. A mixture of symbolic and truly lethal attacks were carried out, making it difficult to gauge the real extent of the conflict. The Prudentialist joins me to discuss.

While many modern Christians are unfamiliar with the story, it was previously considered common knowledge that the death and resurrection of Christ sealed away the powers of the ancient gods. Several historians, such as Plutarch, comment on the fact, while early church fathers claimed it as a victory. Pastor Anderw Isker and historian Alex Petkas join me to discuss the fascinating moment in history and what it means for the modern world.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine triggered demands from elites in Europe and America for NATO-aligned nations to involve themselves in the conflict. Many Republicans were initially on board, with Fox News and CNN marching in lockstep behind intervention. But the Republican base quickly soured on the war once it became clear that U.S. involvement didn’t serve American interests. In a strange inversion, the Right became anti-war while the Left championed military escalation. That reversal matters now, as some in the GOP look to drag the country into another long conflict. We should remember what Ukraine taught us. Foll...

With the current push toward a regime-change war in Iran, many are speculating whether or not the United States will be drawn into another attempt to rebuild a nation in the Middle East. Despite America's disastrous record in previous attempts, politicians and pundits are once again dreaming about how the region can be reshaped through regime change. Podcast host J.

Illegal aliens have flooded the streets, waving foreign flags and openly declaring their intent to reclaim California in the name of Mexico. This isn’t just ideological subversion or economic pressure. It’s open confrontation, and it’s playing out on American soil.

The Community Relations Service was created by the Civil Rights Act to smooth out race relations during desegregation, but like every government agency, it quickly took on a life of its own. The shadowy organization has an incredible level of secrecy and pushes woke agendas, including the normalization of trans kids and the planting of mosques in all Christian towns. Worst of all, the CRS is known to compel grieving families who are the victims of minority crime to deliver prepared statements downplaying the violence of their attackers.

Last week, President Donald Trump and Elon Musk had a major public falling-out, with both men throwing public insults at each other. This public battle seemed poised to break apart the coalition that won the 2024 election. Then over the weekend, anti-ICE protests in California escalated into full-blown riots, with cars burning and police officers under siege. Musk may have valid concerns about government spending, but it has become clear that the Right has far more important issues to address.

Every year for the last decade, June has begun with a flurry of progressive propaganda as corporations, nonprofits, and government organizations kicked off their Pride Month celebrations. Social media accounts draped their logos in the colors of the rainbow, employees sat through monotonous presentations on the importance of inclusion, and every public space was jam-packed with the iconography of the new state religion. But this year, the Pride Month rollout has been remarkably muted, with some of the loudest corporate proponents suddenly dropping the celebration entirely. Conservatives finally embraced the culture war, showing a willingness to address the issue...

Most conservatives like to point out that the United States is a republic, not a democracy, but they rarely ask what the difference truly is. Benjamin Franklin stated that the U.S. would remain a republic only if we fought to keep it that way, meaning the system could change over time if the population was not vigilant. We will be exploring the classical definition of a republic, determining whether the U.S. currently fits the description, and talking about how we can return to republican government if we have indeed lost it.

Leaked video of journalist Glenn Greenwald engaging in demeaning sex acts recently surfaced online in advance of a major appearance on Tucker Carlson's show. Instead of expressing regret, Greenwald decided to double down and claim that any behavior between consenting adults is no one's business. Greenwald has built friendly relationships with conservatives over the years due to his willingness to criticize the Left, and many conservative leaders chose to defend his stand. We will discuss why conservatives fumbled the situation so badly and how to fix it.

Christianity is universal in the sense that it is the one true religion, but does that mean that it has to destroy the particularity of nations?

Classical liberalism was a real political tradition — one that helped shape the American founding. It deserves serious treatment. Watching it get paraded around by people who reject its core values is exhausting. If Locke or Adams saw progressive atheists wearing classical liberalism like a skin suit, they’d spin in their graves. The secular liberalism of the 1990s and early 2000s is not classical liberalism. It isn’t even an ally of conservatism. The non-woke left served as useful co-belligerents against the radical fringe, but they were never true allies — and they should never be allowed to lead the conserva...

A recent New York Times report revealed that the Democratic Party is marshaling its donor class in an effort to return to cultural dominance.

It has become clear that the party ran a dementia patient with terminal cancer in the hopes that he would die in office and the unelected Kamala Harris would become the first black female president.

The life of an unheeded prophet rarely ends in comfort and often courts danger. Pat Buchanan endured both with the resolve of a warrior. As the most prominent paleoconservative in American politics, Buchanan stood so far ahead of his time that today’s MAGA agenda looks like a photocopy of his 1992 presidential campaign platform. From the culture war to working-class economics and immigration, Buchanan served as the American Cassandra — right about nearly every major question yet scorned by Republican elites.

After years of insisting that the United States welcome every refugee from around the world, progressives have finally found one group of immigrants they do not approve of: white South African farmers. In South Africa, the government has explicitly anti-white laws, farmers are regularly murdered, and major political leaders lead songs about killing white citizens.

The Left's focus on crude racial politics has made everyone understandably weary of identity, but identity does not magically disappear. As a response, some are now pushing for the forced elimination of identity even up to the level of the nation, singling our nationalism itself as the enemy.

On Friday, Germany’s domestic intelligence agency officially labeled Alternative for Germany — the country’s most popular conservative party — as a “right-wing extremist” organization. The nationalist party surged to second place in February’s federal election, winning 20.8% of the vote. This new designation grants the ruling government expanded powers to surveil Alternative for Germany leaders and supporters and sets the stage for an outright ban. Germany has now joined a growing list of Western governments that delay elections, disqualify candidates, and ban opposition parties — all in the name of defending democracy.

The fundraiser exploded with over $600,000 in donations, as many people treated the effort as a rallying cry against the injustice displayed in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf.

In the early 1900s, Edmund Husserl founded a new school of philosophy called phenomenology. This new approach attempted to discard previous philosophical assumptions and explore the direct conscious experience of the human being. Husserl's student, Martin Heidegger, furthered the project with his book "Being and Time," which had a massive impact on both left- and right-wing philosophy while influencing many other fields such as medicine and business.
