The Auron MacIntyre Show

Germany's domestic intelligence agency has classified the popular Alternative for Germany party as a 'right-wing extremist' group, allowing for increased government surveillance. This controversial move raises questions about democracy, as the ruling elites seem to prioritize control over genuine political expression. The podcast critiques modern democracy, arguing that officials manipulate definitions of extremism to stifle dissent. It also calls out Western leaders for promoting shared values while suppressing opposition, urging a reconsideration of asylum policies for those facing internal persecution.

The discussion dives into the complex term "woke Right" and its implications for conservative politics. It scrutinizes a heated exchange between James Lindsay and Matt Walsh, revealing tensions within the movement. The speakers dissect the impact of labeling dissenters and the hypocrisy in cultural language. They also explore the spiritual dimensions of wokeness, the challenges of online anonymity, and the historical context of free speech. Overall, it’s a critical examination of modern political discourse and its divisive effects.

A Minnesota mother's use of racial slurs sparked a massive public backlash and a fundraiser that raised over $600,000, igniting discussions about race relations in America. The podcast delves into the complexities of societal reactions to racial incidents, exploring game theory's role in public responses. It tackles the pressing issues of racial dynamics and double standards, questioning the consequences faced for perceived insensitivity. The conversation highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of accountability and cooperation in racially charged situations.

Michael Millerman, a philosophy teacher and Heidegger scholar, dives into the intriguing world of phenomenology. He explains Edmund Husserl's foundational ideas, highlighting how they challenge traditional assumptions. The conversation explores the evolution from radical doubt to the profound inquiries of existence initiated by Heidegger. Millerman further discusses the complex interplay of consciousness and intentionality, using vivid metaphors to illustrate these intricate connections, and connects phenomenological insights to contemporary philosophical debates.

Join comedian and political commentator Dave Smith as he delves into the rise and fall of the Intellectual Dark Web. Known for his libertarian views, Dave discusses how figures like Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris initially championed free speech but have since veered towards calls for censorship.

If every culture shared a universal set of values, then immigration and integration would not be very big issues, but that just isn't the case. Surveys show that while every society lies, some are much more dishonest, which makes a high-trust society very difficult. With the internet allowing every culture to interact instantaneously, even traditional borders aren't enough to protect your culture. YouTuber Wade Stotts joins me to discuss the dangers of cultural universalism and why many may be retreating to a curated internet.

In his first presidential term, Donald Trump had to battle the deep state and the unelected federal bureaucracy. During his second term, he faces a rogue judiciary. Judges have attempted to interfere with the armed forces, stop government spending cuts, and halt deportations. Now the Trump administration has fired its first shot across the bow by arresting a Wisconsin judge for allegedly helping an illegal alien evade arrest. Radio host and author Jesse Kelly joins me to discuss this ongoing battle over constitutional governance.

Federal judges have already blocked Trump administration efforts to reform the military, reduce spending, and rein in foreign aid. They act as though they — not the president — command the executive branch. Now, the Supreme Court has taken the absurd position that the due process rights of illegal alien gang members matter more than the rights of American citizens. If Biden can import millions without due process, but Trump can’t deport them without it, then the system has no future. Democrats get to flood the electorate with a new dependent voting class during their terms, while Republican presidents get bogged down in endless legal entanglements trying to undo the damage.Follow on:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148afSubstack: https://auronmacintyre.substack.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuronMacintyreGab: https://gab.com/AuronMacIntyreYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/AuronMacIntyreRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-390155Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AuronMacIntyre:fInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/auronmacintyre/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Calvin Robinson, a UK priest and commentator, passionately discusses the spiritual crisis facing Britain today. He explores the soft tyranny of modern secularism that censors Christian expression.

He also shares profound reflections on Good Friday, emphasizing sacrifice, love, and living in gratitude.

Reports of the demise of wokeness have been greatly exaggerated. Despite the victory of Donald Trump and Republicans in the last election, many Democrat state legislatures are pushing on with the radical progressive agenda. The latest legislation out of Colorado would strip parents of their rights if their child is declared transgender and criminalize the use of correct names and pronouns by businesses. Pastor and author Chase Davis, who recently led a protest against the bill, joins me to discuss.
