The Auron MacIntyre Show

Tim Pool recently invited me to discuss the state of the conservative movement with Joel Berry of the Babylon Bee. While some progress was made, the debate was largely drawn into issues surrounding interpersonal squabbles instead of the most important differences. I'll be breaking down the key aspects of the debate to see what went right and what went wrong.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.app...

Despite repeated pushback from his base, President Trump continues to push the idea that H-1B workers are critical to America's success. Elon Musk, Ben Shapiro, and Dinesh D'Souza have also come out to advocate for the H-1B agenda. Why are Republican leaders so dead set on ignoring their voters when it comes to importing foreign labor? The Prudentialist returns to discuss.  Follow on: Apple: https...

Political solutions feel increasingly out of reach in the United States. Congress cannot pass a budget and has offloaded most of its legislative duties to lobbyists and the permanent bureaucracy. The judiciary spends more time blocking lawful presidential action than interpreting law. Executive agencies drag their feet under activist judges and rebellious career staff. Inflation continues to punis...

Throughout most of history, building a family and thus passing down a generational legacy was considered one of life's highest goals, but that has fallen apart in our modern world. The rootless nature of modern business and the radical changes in the concept of charity have shifted the focus from communities to large-scale and distant projects. Author Johann Kurtz joins me to discuss his new book,...

Popular YouTuber Rudyard Lynch returns to assess his previous predictions about civil unrest in the United States and where we stand today. We discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the tie between trans ideology and leftist extremism, and why the housing affordability crisis is feeding radicalization. Lynch also explains the concept of Friedrich Nietzsche's last man and why it has created a g...

The Trump administration seems to be on the back foot after a series of critical messaging errors from both the president and his lieutenants. From housing prices to H-1B visas and naturalization, it seems like the White House has had difficulty communicating with the base. Bog Beef and Maarek of the "Good Ol Boyz Podcast" join me to discuss.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas...

In a recent interview, President Trump defended his earlier claim that bringing 600,000 Chinese college students into the United States would be good for the country. When the interviewer questioned how that aligned with an America First agenda, Trump replied that without those students, “Half the colleges in America would go out of business.” To most Trump supporters, that sounds like a win-win —...

Christianity was once banned in Japan, but now it has disproportionally become the religion of the country's ruling elite. How did a foreign underground faith come to dominate the upper echelon of Japanese society, and what does this tell us about the nature of the ruling class? Writer Crémieux joins me to discuss the cultural and political dynamics of faith in Japan.  Follow on: Apple: https://po...

The journalists at the Economist reveal their greatest nightmare: white people having babies. We'll also discuss the Somalian tribal war determining American politics, 50-year mortgages, and the next round of stimulus checks suggest by President Trump.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7C...

The modern obsession with identity becomes more intense by the day. As technology has allowed us to liquify and commodify an increasing number of our inherent traits, people are struggling to find meaning and belonging. Marry Harrington joins me to discuss the need for a more organic understanding of the soul and a reembodying of our daily experience. Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/u...

Throughout most of human history, people could only dream of having ready access to all of the world’s knowledge. But upon receiving access to the total breadth of human experience, most people immediately started looking for someone to tell them what to think. In a mass society, experts hold the key to interpreting knowledge and shaping public opinion. We are now watching political actors on both...

Democrats won several important elections yesterday, including Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City and Jay Jones as attorney general of Virginia. The win by Jones is especially disturbing given his propensity for wishing death on his political opponents and their children. We'll be discussing what these results mean for the American Right.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podc...

Tucker Carlson's interview of Nick Fuentes has triggered a full-on civil war inside the conservative movement. The fact that the Heritage Foundation has come out and refused to denounce Carlson has dragged one of the most important American conservative institutions into the conflict. Calls for cancellation and charges of fascism are flying freely around a movement that has characterized both tact...

With the ongoing government shutdown, funding for critical services is about to lapse. Food stamps could run out this weekend, and the military is being paid by a private billionaire while Congress holds its wages hostage. Historian Alex Petkas of the “Cost of Glory” podcast joins me to discuss what happens to a republic when the grain dole gets cut off and patricians are funding the legions with...

The horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk should have brought the people of the United States together; instead it tore them apart. Conservatives quickly realized that far too many of their countrymen on the Left were enthusiastically celebrating the murder, and even those who managed a weak denunciation of the act heavily implied that Kirk ultimately got what he deserved. For a moment, the reali...

Conservatives are panicking at the prospect of Zohran Mamdani winning the mayoral race in New York City. Many see this as the young people being won over by socialism, but that isn't the case. Mamdani is not winning on the arguments; he is winning through demographics. We'll discuss why immigration bans are the only relevant issue for elections going forward.

Conservatives rightly recognize small government as a core principle of the American founding but rarely recognize what makes it possible. Small government does not mean an elimination of authority but distributing across multiple social spheres. We'll discuss why power will always exist, why it can always be abused, and what it really takes to make a small government.  Follow on: Apple: https://p...

When many people warn about the dangers of power, they refer to "The Lord of the Rings." The One Ring can be a symbol for the dangers power presents, but the message of the books is far more nuanced. In his famous trilogy, J.R.R. Tolkien also venerated monarchy and focuses on the danger of leaders who do not embrace their authority and act decisively. Podcaster Middle-earth Mixer joins me to discu...

On MSNBC this week, host Joe Scarborough gave a familiar speech about the dangers of Donald Trump wielding government power against his political opponents. With figures like Letitia James, James Comey, and John Bolton finally facing charges, the Left has quickly rediscovered its love for judicial restraint. Scarborough delivered his tirade with nods of approval from other journalists, and he warn...

George Soros has been one of the most sinister figures in globalist politics for decades, and now his son Alex is set to take over his empire. What is the origin of the Soros agenda, and where does the Soros power come from? How will Alex's leadership impact the organization? Author Matt Palumbo joins me to discuss.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/...

After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, it seemed for a moment that the Right would recognize how serious the situation had become and put aside differences in order to defeat the Left. Instead, establishment conservative figures have directed their attention to infighting and canceling others on the Right. Seamus Coughlin of "FreedomTunes" joins me to discuss.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts...

YouTuber Dave Greene joins me to discuss the leaking of a Young Republican group chat and how the different responses by conservative factions highlight serious problems inside the movement. We also debate the use of populist political tactics to influence the Trump administration and attempt to build new structures of power.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macin...

In June, the left launched its No Kings protest to denounce the horrific “authoritarian dictatorship” of Donald Trump. Deporting illegal-alien gang members, preventing the mutilation of children, and punishing criminals all became proof of Trump’s incipient “fascism.” Now that Trump has deployed National Guard troops to stop violent leftist mobs from attacking ICE officers, Democrats and the Left...

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, many conservatives have called for forgiveness and moderation, but that is not the role of the civil magistrate. Timon Cline joins me to discuss the difference between public forgiveness and public justice and why a government that fails to thoroughly punish evil is in violation of its divine duty.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas...

Paul Gottfried, editor in chief of Chronicles magazine, joins me to discuss the origins and history of liberalism.
