The Auron MacIntyre Show

Muslim immigrants are swarming the Spanish territories of Morocco after the country's socialist President Pedro Sanchez recently granted mass amnesty to illegal immigrants. European Union members are threatening to cut Spain out of the EU's Schengen Zone, which allows for open-borders travel, for fear that the migrants might spread deeper into Europe. Author Joshua Lisec joins me to analyze the si...

Liberals increasingly treat politics as religion. They may have abandoned traditional faith, but they have not abandoned devotion. They possess saints, heretics, rituals, taboos, pilgrimages, and a vision of salvation. That political faith has given progressives the commitment required to capture institutions, build machines, and shape the future. Conservatives often respond with mockery, but prog...

Author Rod Dreher made a recent appearance on "The Jeremy Boreing Show," where he attacked JD Vance and the New Right. Dreher has a nasty habit of going after fellow conservatives and did not disappoint in this appearance. Both men heavily implied that criticism of the state of Israel is the equivalent of adopting fascism and warned that Vance may be influenced by these sinister forces. J. Burden...

YouTube commentator News Fist joins me as we continue our reading of historian John Glubb's famous essay "The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival."  In this episode, we explore the central nature that religion plays in the rise of empires and how its decline coincides with a rise in selfishness. We'll also analyze the roll that welfare plays in decadence, which always spells doom for an e...

For decades, truck driving remained one of the best options for blue-collar Americans to achieve a middle-class lifestyle. In a world where overpriced college degrees were required for the most simple jobs, trucking allowed a man to care for his family with relatively little time or money invested. Now foreign labor cartels are moving in to dominate the industry, displacing native-born Americans w...

Americans are looking for safety in an increasingly chaotic country. Mass immigration, collapsing social trust, and weakening civic bonds have transformed many communities from places where neighbors knew one another into anonymous zones governed by suspicion. Technology promises an escape from the consequences of those political and cultural failures. Flock Safety cameras appear to offer law and...

There has been another anti-ICE terror attack in New York City, but conservatives are still not taking the rise of the radical Left seriously. It might be fun to mock the ridiculous woke antics, but progressives are organizing and becoming violent while conservatives sit idle. Matthew Williams joins me to discuss the rise of the democratic socialists and why they are the future of the Left. Follow...

In the modern age, we believe that intelligence is the most important trait a person can have and learning is the most valuable pursuit, but what if those are the very things that bring about ruin? YouTube commentator News Fist joins me as we continue our reading of historian John Glubb's  famous essay "The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival." In this episode we look at Glubb's assertion...

Donald Trump's social media strategist, Alex Bruesewitz, joins me to discuss several high-profile incidents of foreign influence inside American politics. We analyze President Trump's recent speech on Chinese hacking that may have influenced the 2020 election. We also address the current attack on Vice President JD Vance for acknowledging that actors inside the Israeli government have paid conserv...

The internet has done an admirable job hobbling the corporate left-wing media’s ability to control the population through a single narrative. But that blessing comes with regrettable costs. The speed of information and the incentive to push hot takes onto social media mean that when a public figure dies, there is an immediate race to decide which competing narrative will define his legacy. When Li...

As a young man, Guy Nohra watched as his home country of Lebanon went from the Paris of the Middle East to a war-torn nightmare. The tensions that had been simmering under the surface of an otherwise modern nation exploded, drawing Nohra into the conflict. The author joins us to discuss his new book "Not on Our Watch," recounting his experience in the war and how to prevent a similar fate in the U...

YouTube commentator NewsFist joins me as we continue our examination of historian John Glubb's essay "The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival." We'll be looking at the role that trade and wealth play in the eventually downfall of empires. Is it possible to maintain a prosperous nation without falling into decadence and decay?  We will also examine the nature of empire itself and whether t...

The United States and Iran are once again exchanging fire after peace talks break down. Donald Trump seems pessimistic about the possibility of securing a deal after the latest rounds of negotiations. Darryl Cooper and Ronald Dodson join me to discuss whether we are looking at a quick victory or another forever war. We will also evaluate a new effort to integrate American and Israeli intelligence....

After Donald Trump’s stunning victory in the 2024 election, Democrats had to stop and ask what went wrong. One conclusion from the commentary class was that progressives had a serious man problem, and for once they were right. Democrats had made contempt for men, especially young white men, central to their message, and that came with a cost. Any white man who remained on the left had to accept th...

As we conclude our series reading Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince," we will look at the author's beliefs about fate. Is fate something set in the stars, something controlled entirely by men, or a real force that ultimately favors the bold? We will also look at how Machiavelli's desire to unify Italy impacted his political beliefs.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the...

The British historian John Glubb famously claimed that the average lifespan of an empire is 250 years. In his work "The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival," Glubb lays out several key factors like mass immigration that regularly contribute to imperial decline. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, it makes sense to stop and consider how many of these factors are impacting our country a...

Modern people tend to see knowledge as something humanity collectively achieves. Once a scientific advancement of moral truth is uncovered it is now part of the collective achievement of our species and remains known in perpetuity. In truth, these advancements are not eternal and can be easily lost if a civilization does not practice them day to day. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary we...

The Supreme Court delivered two devastating rulings that allow for delayed counting of mail-in ballots and the continuation of birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment arguments were particularly bad from a court that is supposed to be controlled by originalist conservatives. Why do GOP-appointed judges regularly betray conservatives? Mark Hemingway joins me to discuss.  Follow on: Apple: https:...

Are philosophy, religion, and politics entirely separate disciplines? Did early Greek philosophers like Plato recognize aspects of political life that only the person of Christ could fulfill? Ronald Dodson joins me to discuss the intersection of faith and reason and why getting it right is just as important to politics as it is to theology.   Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

Over the years, America has seen the slow transformation of entire industries that seem to be captured by specific foreign diasporas. From truck driving to IT, hotels, and gas stations, ethnic cartels have used advantages enshrined in law to corner the market for many businesses. The drop in quality of these establishments has had an overall deleterious effect on the quality of life in the U.S. Wr...

The day-to-day status of negotiations may be touch and go but it looks like the Trump administration is doing everything it can to reach a deal and end the conflict with Iran. The war may have had solid support from Donald Trump’s Fox News-oriented voters but remained unpopular with the rest of the country. The conflict lost Trump several high-profile supporters but it did earn him the favor of a...

The situation in the United Kingdom continues to degrade as mass immigration takes its toll on the country.  The ruling class can only become more tyrannical in the hopes of quelling the tensions that its immigration policy has caused. Even this effort has been of little help, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced his resignation due to the unpopular nature of his leadership. U.K. commentor...

The issue of immigration has become so urgent that it is easy to forget how far things have come. When Peter Brimelow was writing about the dangers of mass immigration in the early 1990s the subject was considered so dangerous that he was purged from National Review. Brimelow joins me to discuss his cancellation and the incredible success that immigration restriction has achieved under the Trump a...

Many have claimed that if the culture of America is to be rescued, effort must begin in blue states, but is such a transformation even possible? Urban areas have the economic resources and cultural capital, but it seems like they increasingly resent being American in the first place. Dave Greene joins me to discuss the future of blue states and if there is any hope for making them great again.  Fo...

Donald Trump’s 2024 victory shocked the cultural radicals who expected the country to keep swallowing the agenda. Trump did not end wokeness, but his mandate signaled a limit to what the public would tolerate. Movies and television still push woke pieties. Democrats still advance insane views on child transition. But the most outrageous excesses of Pride Month have begun to recede. This June, far...
