The Auron MacIntyre Show

In a better world, people would cultivate virtue and develop habits of right action, practicing them regardless of external pressures. But we don’t live in that world. For most, concepts like honor and morality emerge from community, not individual will. These vital, pro-social behaviors rely on constant reinforcement by others. When daily life consists of anonymous, disconnected interactions, it...

A hacker recently breached the security of New York University and posted what the hacker claimed to be the admissions data for 2024. The alleged data reveals a wide disparity on SAT scores and GPA required based on race, with a clear preference against white and Asian students. This practice flies directly in the face of a recent Supreme Court ruling, which banned affirmative action in college ad...

The MAGA movement is culturally ascendant, but with victory comes temptation. Several large "MAGA-aligned" Twitter accounts began making a strange push over the weekend, advocating to maintain the ability of food-stamp recipients to purchase soda with government benefits. It was later revealed that these accounts may have been paid by a third party to advance the interests of large soda companies....

The movie industry is in crisis, as blockbuster after blockbuster flops at the theater. Some art forms, like the novel, feel like they could be eternal, while others, like the radio drama, become artifacts of their time. Do art forms ever die due to cultural neglect or technological advancement, or are they always ready to emerge in new and interesting ways? Art aficionado John Dee joins me to dis...

From 1960s riots to the 2020 destruction, the Left has always used violence to push its agenda. The recent attacks on Tesla vehicles and dealerships are part of a long history of leftist terrorism in the United States. A near-monopoly on media and education has allowed progressives to rewrite history, erasing their movement’s violent past. Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/th...

Just a few months into Donald Trump's second term, activist judges have lined up to block key elements of the president's agenda. Unelected judges are making blatantly unconstitutional rulings in an attempt to stop the deportation of dangerous cartel members and restore funding to progressive patronage networks like USAID. Even Chief Justice John Roberts has outed himself as progressive activist,...

Activists are once again warning about the dangers of saying "Christ is King" on the internet as a method of chilling speech. Several public figures who represent themselves as conservative have lined up behind an ADL-partnered "research institute" in an effort to stigmatize the religious declaration of truth. Why are so many theoretically conservative activists hostile to this basic statement of...

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 identit...

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 cha...

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 YouTu...

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...

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...

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...

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 an...

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 pushe...

What is the nature of national identity? Can you replace the pieces that make up a nation but maintain the same identity? As the West wrestles with its crisis of meaning it becomes more and more important to understand who we are and what defines us. We'll be using the Ship of Theseus, a classic philosophical thought experiment, to investigate these questions. Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.ap...

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 D...

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...

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...

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 most recent conference serves as an interesting snapshot of the current political moment and what may be p...

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 whi...

Donald Trump has taken aim at the administrative state in his first term, but does government bureaucracy have to be a bad thing? Complex societies require complex organizations to manage their functions. Can right-wingers make the administrative state work for them or is there something inherently dangerous about its existence? Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, host of the "PolicySphere" podcast, joins me t...

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. The time has come for Christians to reclaim their long tradition of cultural and political dominance while setting a personal example that draws others to the truth of Christ. Pastor Chase Davis, host of the "Full Proof Theology" podcast,...

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 mult...

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. We will be analyzing a recent New York Times piece to discover why progres...
