The Auron MacIntyre Show

As the global Left gears up to fight Donald Trump, consumerism has become the battlefield of choice. Canadians are renaming American food and products in a rehash of the "freedom fry" debacle after 9/11. Progressive terrorists are attacking Tesla cars and facilities as a proxy for Elon Musk and his Department of Government efficiency. Corporate brands have become symbols of modern national identity and created a sense of hyperreality in the culture wars. The Prudentialist joins me to discuss.

Political theorist and sociologist Vilfredo Pareto identified two main personality types among ruling elites: foxes and lions. In a healthy civilization, power circulates between these two types, allowing a balance that meets the needs of society at any given time. For decades, Western nations have been dominated by foxes, who favor manipulation over force. However, as populist movements began challenging their grip on power, the ruling class attempted to pivot to hard power. The American left responded with riots, imprisonment of political opponents, and even an assassination attempt on the populist presidential candidate. Yet these efforts failed, and Donald Trump won office with a decisive mandate.

Many leaders in the international community cheered when Bashar al-Assad's regime collapsed in Syria, ignoring the warnings that while the strongman was brutal, he was holding back an even worse disaster. Now that the former leader has been deposed, Syria has spiraled into ethnic and religious conflict, with the country's Christians suffering some of the most horrific violence. Oliver of the YouTube channel Semiogogue joins me to discuss the state of the conflict and why Western governments have a difficult time grasping the dynamics of the region.

Conservatives and liberals will often use similar language about values like freedom and community, but they mean radically different things. Every week it seems like a progressive politician is declaring that some foreign group, like soldiers in Ukraine or illegal immigrants, is actually more in line with American values than the people who actually make up America. We'll be diving into the ideas of proximity and particularity and why they are so critical to understanding the divide in values between the political Right and Left.

With Donald Trump's election to a second term and the rise of the New Right, many mainstream publications have focused on Curtis Yarvin as the intellectual vanguard of the movement, but there is another neo-reactionary philosopher who may have had a bigger impact. Nick Land's theory of technological and political acceleration predicted the rise of the "tech bro" Right and the ascension of figures like Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen.

Officially, Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the president of an independent nation fighting a territorial war against a world power. In reality, the United States and its NATO allies are funding a proxy war with Russia. While Zelenskyy should hold significant authority, it’s clear that the real peace negotiations are happening between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. If the United States continues to provide financial and military aid, the war could drag on for years. If that support ends, the conflict would likely conclude swiftly.

The modern state has attempted to discard the traditional bonds like family, faith, language, and religion that have held civilizations together for most of human history. In their place, our ruling elites have attempted to craft abstract identities centered around ideology and economics. Darryl Cooper, host of "The Martyr Made Podcast," joins me to discuss why this modern experiment is failing and whether it is unique to our period of history. Learn more about your ad choices.

Negations around the war in Ukraine teeter on a perilous edge after a disastrous performance by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House last week. Zelenskyy's brash tone and entitled expectation led to a breakdown in communication with Donald Trump and JD Vance. American news media reacted with their usual unhinged hyperbole, and foreign leaders like U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer pushed for World War III by increasing their commitment to the proxy war with Russia. Mark Hemingway, senior writer at RealClear Investigations, joins me to discuss.

What is the nature of national identity? Can you replace the pieces that make up a nation but maintain the same identity?

The Trump administration has only just begun its deportation efforts, and the media is already shaping a narrative of victimhood. Reporters highlight nervous parents, crying children, and desperate prayers, all designed to evoke guilt and pressure conservatives into abandoning border enforcement. This strategy has worked in the past, but the immigration crisis has escalated to a point where even Democratic politicians acknowledge the damage these policies have caused in their own districts.

A bombshell report from Christopher Rufo has revealed that the U.S. intelligence community has been allowing the operation of an explicit transsexual chat room that employees participated in while on government time. Members of the CIA, NSA, and DIA discussed sexual fantasies, the desire to groom children, and their intention to undermine the Trump administration. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has already announced the firing of 100 intelligence officers across 15 agencies in response to these revelations. J. Burden joins me to discuss.

After the funding fiasco at the U.S. Agency for International Development began to unfold, it was revealed that a number of Christian charities had taken federal funding to help facilitate mass immigration. Some leaders within America's largest evangelical denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention, have dug in and defended the organization's role in refugee resettlement. This stance is out of step with the values of the average SBC member and raises serious questions about the way that funds are being allocated.

Jordan Peterson has launched his Alliance for Responsible Citizenship Conference as an alternative to groups like the World Economic Forum. The project is a large tent meant to gather conservatives, centrists, and moderate leftists in an effort to oppose the progressive globalist project.

The Roman Empire has one of the most enduring legacies of any civilization due to its ability to adapt to shifting circumstances. The emperor Trajan was famous for his aggressive expansion, extending Roman borders to their greatest extent. His successor Hadrian is famous for his wise decision to recognize the limits of Roman power and fortify the boundaries of the empire to a reasonable extent which the state could maintain. As Donald Trump explores both isolationist and expansionist options Alex Petkas, host of the "Cost of Glory" podcast, joins me to discuss what America can learn from these two great leaders.

Donald Trump has taken aim at the administrative state in his first term, but does government bureaucracy have to be a bad thing?

In our modern age, Jesus has often been portrayed as weak, a doormat who called his followers to lose at every turn, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Is America essentially a dream? An unattainable goal toward which the nation is always progressing? A set of ideas that anyone and everyone from around the world can adopt and join? The propositional nation, one built on an adherence to a series of assertions, is what conservatives have offered my entire life and the default identity they are now attempting to return to with the defeat of the multicultural globalist vision.

After the disastrous campaign of Kamala Harris, many political pundits predicted that the Democratic Party and its progressive media allies would abandon wokeness for a more classically leftist economic message. Instead, the Left has doubled down on the woke agenda, pushing even more trans madness and anti-white propaganda.

A young engineer was forced to resign from the Department of Government Efficiency after a Wall Street Journal reporter uncovered his controversial internet posts. In an amazing cultural shift, JD Vance stood up against the young man's cancellation, and Elon Musk reinstated the staff member.

Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency have uncovered a stunning amount of corruption at the U.S. Agency for International Development, but it is only the tip of the iceberg.

Donald Trump placed a 90-day hold on foreign aid in one of his executive orders, and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has subsequently identified the U.S. Agency for International Development as a prime candidate for elimination. Democrats and their media allies hoped that by drawing attention to USAID, they could frame cuts to the program as an act by callous billionaires who do not care about poor Africans being denied AIDS medication. That plan has backfired, and as the public learns more about USAID, people are quickly discovering how much of their tax money is being stolen to fund deeply evil projects in foreign nations.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has been fighting to advance his own version of progressive race communism inside the country for many years. Recently, a new law was passed making it easier for the South African government to expropriate land and redistribute it along racial lines. U.S. President Donald Trump drew attention to the issue when he promised on social media that he will deny aid to the country if the expropriation law stays in place.

Donald Trump has launched his second presidential term with a “flood the zone” strategy designed to overwhelm the Left before it can mount a response. In just seven days, Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted nationwide raids, arresting thousands of illegal immigrants. Authorities prioritized the most dangerous offenders, ensuring gang members, drug traffickers, and child predators were swiftly removed. The speed of these removals raises one clear question: Was the Biden administration allowing violent illegal aliens to terrorize American citizens?

With Donald Trump's executive order attempting to clarify the nature of American citizenship, now is a good time to look at the 14th Amendment. While this important addition to the Constitution insured that freed slaves were treated as citizens, the confusing language used throughout the amendment has been abused to justify all kinds of strange rulings by the Supreme Court.

Donald Trump has issued a flurry of executive orders in his first few days in office, with a particular focus on ending DEI, affirmative action, and other forms of anti-white racism. These actions are impressive, but lawsuits have already been filed to block them, and some executive agencies have taken action to circumvent them. Will the Trump administration have the discipline and dedication to follow through and ensure that these heinous policies are actually struck down? Jeremy Carl, author of "The Unprotected Class," joins me to discuss.

Surviving assassination attempts and prosecutions, Trump returned to office lambasting Biden, pardoning 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants, ending birthright citizenship, and vowing to halt needless foreign wars. And that was just day one. If Trump maintains this rapid pace, he is poised to become one of the most influential conservative presidents in American history.

The political thinker Gaetano Mosca is best known as one of the founders of elite theory, but a common misconception is that he believed the powerful could do whatever they want. In reality, Mosca believed that juridical defense, the guarantee that a citizen would be protected from arbitrary power, is central to a good society. We will discuss the nature of juridical defense and how it checks the power of the elite in a just society.

People of every generation love to give the kids who come after them a hard time. While Generation Z, or the “Zoomers,” have an attitude that can feel alien to their predecessors, they also face a unique set of challenges that their elders have a hard time conceiving of, much less addressing. Identity, spirituality, family, and economics have shifted under the feet of the Zoomers, and it is time for the Right to lead its younger generations rather than disparage them.

California wildfires are doing terrible damage in and around Los Angeles. While leftists have been blaming climate change, a long list of government failures have exacerbated the disaster.

Conservatives and libertarians regularly name reducing the size of the state as their top priority but rarely consider the factors that drive the growth of government. For most champions of small government, institutional neutrality and the minimal exercise of state power are seen as metrics of success, but they rarely realize that those factors can actually make expansion of the state inevitable. While it is counterintuitive to modern proponents of small government, vigorous state action in favor of defending a unified culture is far more likely to protect liberty than policies like open borders and neutral institutions.

Every January, I collect the best or most important books I read the previous year and discuss their strengths and weaknesses. They do not need to be books written in 2024 — in fact, many are hundreds or even thousands of years old — just books that I read or reread last year.

As soon as the shocking video of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s assassination on a New York City street went public, the Left began turning the murderer into a folk hero. The justification for this disturbing behavior is the claim of “obscene profits” made by corrupt health care companies. Yet, these same progressives attacked anyone who questioned the COVID-19 vaccine while pharmaceutical companies made record profits. The truth is darker: The Left harbors a deep appetite for political violence and celebrates anyone who harms its perceived enemies.

Every few years, progressive "Lord of the Rings" fans rediscover that J.R.R. Tolkien was a conservative Catholic who supported Francisco Franco during the Spanish Civil War. This clashes with their current obsession over "media literacy" and intent of the author when it comes to interpreting works of art.
