The author and commentator James Lindsay has constructed an elaborate conspiracy theory in which I am a central figure. Lindsay has asserted that the archangel Michael is actually a secret symbol that Catholics are using in coordination with the World Economic Forum to subvert the American right and trick Christian nationalists into summoning a Zoroastrian demon. I wish that were a joke, but it is not. The Prudentialist joins me to review Lindsay's long string of schizophrenic conspiracy...

Democrats have created an incredibly powerful leviathan and unleashed it against their political opponents. Progressives know they’ve crossed a line they can’t walk back from and fear that conservatives would be just as ruthless if given the chance.

For the ancients, justice was a matter of individual action, a virtue to be cultivated in relation to others inside your community. The modern conception of justice has redefined it as a certain configuration of institutional forces inside a society. Athenian Stranger joins me to discuss the shift and why it has led to the progressive incarnation of social justice that now dominates our world. Follow on: Apple:...

A shocking new report from ICE has revealed that the agency has released over half a million illegal aliens with criminal records into the United States. A staggering 13,000 of those individuals were convicted of murder, while 16,000 were convicted of sexual assault. The Biden-Harris administration has not only failed in its duty to protect the country but has actively worked to import the worst criminals imaginable. BogBeef and Maarek of the Good Ol Boyz podcast join me to discuss.  Follow...

As the complexity of information and capital exchange in cyberspace outruns the ability of governments to regulate, the ends to which human systems will go to regain control escalate. How does the radical acceleration of technology and commerce warp the incentives for human actors?

The right to associate — to form communities with others and maintain the character and way of life in those communities — is the most basic of natural laws. It is both moral and just to protect our communities from replacement migration, and we must never be shamed into believing otherwise.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack:...

The classical liberalism that inspired the founding of the United States looks radically different from the ideology that has come to rule the Western world. Is the system we live under now a descendent of liberalism or a radical break from that tradition?

The pandemic should have been a critical moment for libertarians to seize the national narrative and uniformly oppose government tyranny. Instead, many fell silent or even fell in line with lockdowns. Why did so many who champion the ideology of small government cower before the state?

For the second time in as many months, Donald Trump has survived an assassination attempt. Progressives have leaned heavily into the idea that Trump is responsible for the attacks on his own life, doubling down on their rhetorical justifications. The Left has decided that political violence should be a regular feature of American life and that only one side should ever be allowed to wield it.  Follow on: Apple:...

A strange coalition of disaffected liberals, classic conservatives, libertarians, and the New Right have found common cause in the battle against the woke hegemony, but the contradictions inside that coalition have begun to create serious fractures. What is the state of the anti-woke coalition, and can the factions put aside their differences to defeat a common foe? Podcaster Benjamin Boyce joins me to discuss.   Follow on: Apple:...

Donald Trump has survived a second assassination attempt after a deranged gunman spewing Democratic Party talking points planned an ambush at a Florida golf course. Instead of taking responsibility for their dangerous rhetoric, the media have attacked Trump, blaming him for the political violence of the Left.

As it becomes clear that the institutions of the United States have become hostile to the citizens of the nation, a growing number of states are looking at how they can protect themselves from federal overreach.

The United Kingdom is a parliamentary democracy that is jailing its citizens for disagreeing with mass immigration. The United States is a constitutional republic that is importing foreign gangs to take over its cities and attacking anyone who complains as a racist. At the same time, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele is considered a strongman who is using his authority to rid his nation of violent gangs. We discuss why tyranny and authoritarianism aren't synonyms and why liberal democracies...

The progressive movement has a mainstream core that achieves most of the practical political wins, but it also accepts a much more radical constellation of leftist beliefs. Leftists regularly portray themselves as open communists, violent Antifa foot soldiers, and revolutionary queer activists and are still accepted inside the movement. In contrast, the most dangerous threat to an up-and-coming right-winger who is seeking to push the boundaries of acceptable opinion is other members of the...

Videos depicting more traditional modes of life have become huge trends on social media, but does this signal a real hunger for a return to past forms of social organization?

Despite the admission that government actors used censorship to interfere in the 2020 election and silence dissent during the pandemic, no one faces criminal prosecution, and no one is getting fired.
