The Auron MacIntyre Show

The National Conservatism movement has quickly become an influential force in American politics, but it now finds itself at an interesting crossroads. Several key figures like JD Vance have been elevated to powerful positions, and much of its agenda has been adopted to some degree by the Trump administration. Now that the coalition has won, it has to govern while holding its various factions toget...

Power always seeks to expand. It never halts for principles or words on paper; it halts only for rival powers strong enough to resist it. Those rivals must have deep roots, independent resilience, and the ability to demand loyalty. They must project sovereignty in ways the state cannot easily replicate, establishing spheres of influence that can resist government overreach without ever firing a sh...

After the fall of the Soviet Union, many Western elites declared the end of history. Politics had been solved, and the only question was how long it would take for every nation to submit to the universal order. It has now become clear that the death of politics has been greatly overstated and the global hegemony of liberal democracy is breaking down. Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin joins me to...

Many Americans will repeat the phrase "separation of church and state," believing it to be one of the founding principles of the nation, though it appears nowhere in the Constitution or Declaration of Independence. In reality, the early United States was a land of state churches, blasphemy laws, and public prayer. Timon Cline, editor in chief at American Reformer, joins me to discuss his recent su...

During a press gaggle this week, President Trump casually announced that the United States would allow 600,000 Chinese nationals to enter the country as college students. He has long focused on improving relations with China, but the idea of importing and educating such numbers runs against the America First instincts of his voters. When Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was asked why these studen...

Discrimination is considered one of the most egregious sins in the modern world, but humans can't make it through a single day without needing to engage in discrimination.

We'll also discuss the mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school, allegedly committed by yet another trans...

After a Sikh semi-truck driver allegedly killed three people while attempting an illegal U-turn in Florida, he was charged with three counts of vehicular homicide. In response, millions of his fellow Indians have signed a petition demanding his release, and $1 million dollars has been raised in his name. This has caused a larger conversation on social media about the way that many industries in th...

The Trump administration recently announced that it will be reviewing all 55 million foreigners with U.S. visas for violations that would bar them from the country. What shocked most Americans was the sheer volume of immigrants who have now been given the legal right to enter the U.S. A country with that level of foreigners flowing in simply cannot maintain its sovereignty. We’ll also discuss the...

The United Kingdom is embroiled in a strange controversy: Officials are trying to ban the English flag from the public square. As immigration-driven violence rises, national identity has become central. Many Englishmen, watching as immigrants pour in and grooming gangs prey on their daughters, have begun raising the red-and-white St. George’s Cross. Officials invent excuses to tear those flags dow...

Friedrich Nietzsche is known as one of the most infamous critics of Christianity, but are there lessons Christians can learn from that critique? The faith is beginning to see a small but real revival in the West, but most seekers are looking for a more robust and demanding version than is currently offered in our modern world. Athenian Stranger joins me to discuss how a better understanding of Nie...

Every Western country is struggling with the subject of national identity, but in the United Kingdom, the discussion has become truly bizarre. Many progressives are now asserting that the English are not a real ethnicity and that anyone can be English. James Orr, associate professor at the University of Cambridge, joins me to discuss the nature of English identity and the future of nationalism in...

Russell Kirk is regularly acknowledged as one of the most influential conservative intellectuals, but later in life, he was pushed out of the movement he helped to define. Kirk became unpopular due to his opposition to the neoconservative faction and the damage it had caused to the right wing. We'll be exploring the speech that got him canceled: "The Neoconservatives: An Endangered Species." Follo...

President Trump announced on Monday that he would be exercising his authority to federalize control of law enforcement in Washington, D.C. The move comes after the president threatened action in the wake of a brutal attack on a DOGE staffer while the young man attempted to defend his girlfriend during a carjacking. National Guard troops will supplement D.C. metro police in an effort to quell viole...

Last year the GOP attempted to pass a bill making it a violation of civil rights law for universities to express certain opinions on the state of Israel. That bill was defeated, but the Trump administration has continued to successfully push for this form of censorship on college campuses. The administration also recently attempted to sneak similar restrictions into disaster relief funding. Author...

In a world of sprawling global political entities, is there any room for the classic nation-state? Nationalism has been branded as hateful and outdated, but my guest, Yoram Hazony, author or "The Virtue of Nationalism," joins me to explain why he believes the nation-state is the ideal form of government to preserve the character of individual peoples across the globe. We also discuss why the curre...

At a recent Panamerican Congress in Mexico City, Democratic Rep. Delia Ramirez of Illinois stood before attendees and declared in Spanish, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” Ramirez, who sits on the House Homeland Security Committee, helps shape policies vital to the nation’s safety. Yet she openly and proudly identifies with another country — and in a foreign language, no less. Rami...

The Trump administration faced serious backlash after a directive that would have denied disaster relief funding to American cities that decided to boycott the state of Israel. Public pressure forced the White House to backpedal, but the option to enforce this ban may still exist. We'll also discuss the use of artificial intelligence to "resurrect" dead loved ones and the dangers of digital necrom...

Liberal democracy has come to dominate in the Western world, and many believe it to be the best system of government, but does that mean it is mandated by the Bible? Many Christians have conflated their political tradition with a biblical commandment. Pastor Chase Davis joins me to discuss what the Bible really says about the state and whether it demands that we assume one form of government or an...

While America began as an Anglo-Protestant nation, it has managed to assimilate new groups like the Germans and Irish over time. The process has been so effective that some now see the United States as a land of immigrants capable of adding any and every new arrival into its fold. But many groups are now building resilient enclaves inside the United States, in some cases building giant statues to...

Last week, Logan Riley and Brandon Mitchell went viral when the gay couple shared a post of the baby boy they had acquired through surrogacy. It has become very common for gay couples to celebrate purchasing children from their mothers on social media, but as the horrific consequences of surrogacy have become more well known, public opposition has become more common. Many on social media raised co...

An incredibly bizarre outrage has erupted over the appearance of Sydney Sweeney in advertisement for the American Eagle clothing brand. Liberals are calling the ad Nazi propaganda simply for placing an attractive white woman at the center of the campaign. J. Burden joins me to discuss the outrage along with the relative lack of outrage over a white couple being beaten at a music festival in Cincin...

Many treat transhumanism as a science-fiction threat in a far distant future, when in reality we are already experiencing its impact. Author Grayson Quay joins me to discuss his new book, "The Transhumanist Temptation," and how the problems we face are not just scientific but spiritual. We cover everything from body modification to transgenderism and artificial intelligence and explore how humanit...

Birth rates are falling all over the world as modern societies struggle to reproduce themselves. Young people are finding it harder and harder to date and form families. Is there some aspect of technological advancement that dooms a society to population decline?

Last week, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed evidence that the entire Russiagate hoax — a scheme to derail President Donald Trump’s first term — was manufactured by the outgoing Obama administration. At a press gaggle on Tuesday, Trump followed up by accusing Obama of “treason” for trying to rig the 2016 election and calling for severe consequences. These revelations matter....
