The Auron MacIntyre Show

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...

Leo Strauss is not a name many conservatives would know, but his philosophy, and the students who follow it, radically redefined the movement. Strauss was an accomplished scholar with an interesting method for interpreting philosophical texts. Despite an impressive intellect, Strauss' larger project had implications that his students followed to create the movement we call neoconservatism. We'll b...

Iranian media has confirmed that President Trump has reached a peace deal with what remains of the country's leadership. The move drew cheers from Trump's supporters, but fair-weather neoconservatives are furious. Can Trump keep Israel and Iran in line long enough to seal the deal? How will this impact the Middle East going forward? J. Burden joins me to discuss geopolitics as well as the Left's r...

Cato the Younger is a figure rightly revered for his adherence to principles during the late Roman Republic as he opposed the rise of Julius Caesar. While Cato showed remarkable courage in the face of danger, he was also a man obsessed with the idea of upholding law no matter the cost. This has brought him great respect, but it also forced him to exacerbate tensions and spurn allies until he becam...

After decades of brutal race and gender politics from the Left, conservatives began treating identity itself as toxic. That reaction is understandable after fighting a sinister ideology for years, but ignoring identity is not an option. Human beings need a firm sense of who they are and where they belong. Progressives exploited that impulse in twisted, artificial ways, but the impulse remains natu...

Karmelo Anthony has been found guilty of the murder of Austin Metcalf. The verdict can never compensate for Metcalf's death, but it is good news that justice has been done in a high-profile case charged with racial tensions. Matthew Williams will join me to discuss the verdict as well as a big win for the Trump administration around the issue of disparate impact.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcast...

Los Angles mayoral challenger Spencer Pratt was making big waves pushing back against liberal orthodoxy in the notoriously liberal city. Despite a promising run, Pratt seems to have lost the primary in an extremely suspicious election. Navy veteran and Clairmont Lincoln Fellow Tom Sauer joins me to discuss the L.A. election and the continued turmoil over the Iran peace deal.  Follow on: Apple: htt...

Former Commander of the Border Patrol Greg Bovino joins me to discuss his push to resume mass deportations. Bovino explains the full-spectrum strategy that was implemented when the administration began deportation and why it was so effective in closing the border. We discuss why that strategy was placed on hold by the forces arrayed against the deportation mission. Bovino also lays out why deporta...

Bodycam footage from the United Kingdom has turned Henry Nowak’s death from a local outrage into a national indictment. The footage appears to show officers handcuffing an 18-year-old stabbing victim, dismissing his pleas for help, and treating him as the suspect while he bled to death. Nowak, an 18-year-old from Essex, reportedly told officers, “I can’t breathe,” and “I’ve been stabbed.” Officers...

The second Trump administration started off with incredible momentum. In addition to the fast pace of executive orders, the Right was gaining cultural momentum. People no longer had to hide their support of MAGA, and mainstream outlets were writing resentful stories about how fashionable Trump fans had become. Now, the administration can't even keep has-been musicians from publicly abandoning the...

Martin Heidegger is considered one of the most important philosophers of all time, but his works are also regarded as impenetrable. One of his more approachable writings and one of his best is his essay on the nature of technology. The piece reveals a thinker who is less worried about technology itself and more worried about the mindset technology creates in the human being. Philosophy scholar Mic...

Christopher Nolan is one of Hollywood's last great filmmakers. Many of his previous movies have even been considered conservative or reactionary for the different themes he has addressed. But Nolan's new version of "The Odyssey" looks to be filled with woke tropes and modern rewriting. Author James Keena joins me to discuss why everyone in Hollywood is so desperate to change the source material th...

The hicklib is usually a social outcast, a failson who needs a moral explanation for why he hates the community he never fit into. His resentment searches for a theory that will dignify his rage, and the progressive missionaries installed in local institutions are happy to provide one. The hicklib has become one of rural America’s petty plagues. But as the value of college degrees collapses, a new...

Popular communist streamer Hasan Piker is in big trouble. Piker has been subpoenaed by the DOJ for his possible connections to the government of Cuba. Even worse, Piker is so dumb that he is blurting out his inside knowledge about China funding the radicalization of progressive groups in the U.S. John Dee joins me to discuss Piker's fate as well as the victory of Ken Paxton in the Republican prima...

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 ju...

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-au...

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...

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 pa...

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 su...

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 like...

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...
