The Auron MacIntyre Show

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. The conversation explores the evolution of political identities, the impact of 'wokeness' on American culture, and the complexities of foreign policy discussions, pushing for a more nuanced dialogue amidst today's turbulent political landscape.

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. Robinson contrasts his experiences in the liberal UK with the more supportive religious environment in the U.S. The dialogue highlights the decline of Christianity amid rising multicultural ideologies and the need to preserve British identity. 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.

Texas is supposed to be one of the most fiercely American states in the union but has recently seen the construction of a massive Hindu idol and has plans for an explicitly Muslim city. Is this just freedom of religion at work, or do Americans have the right to prefer their religion and culture? Ronald Dodson, CEO of Dallas North Capital Partners and contributor to the American Reformer, joins me to discuss.

During a recent meeting with Donald Trump, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele pointed out a lesson that Americans have forgotten: Justice for the criminal is liberation for the average citizen. As Karmelo Anthony, the alleged murderer of high school athlete Austin Metcalf, raises hundreds of thousands of dollars while renting a new house and buying a new car, it is hard not to wonder what happened to justice in the United States. Convenience stores lock an increasingly absurd number of products behind glass while shoplifters, thieves, and even murderers receive comically light sentences. Kevin Dolan of the Exit Group joins me to discuss how empathy for criminals has turned the country into an open-air prison.

The discussion dives into the roots of liberalism and its current crises, highlighting the gradual erosion of trust in institutions. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on perceptions of expertise is a focal point, raising concerns about reliance on neutral authority. There's a call for introspection among elites as they face growing skepticism. As the potential collapse of traditional frameworks looms, new ways of understanding truth and expertise are urgently needed.

A fiery debate between journalist Douglas Murray and comedian Dave Smith centers on the ethics of wars in Gaza and Ukraine. Murray's ironic stance on expertise raises eyebrows, as he dismisses non-expert opinions despite his past critiques of expert consensus. The discussion digs into the disconnect between military actions and civilian understanding, revealing flaws in political narratives and the implications of misinformation. Additionally, it questions the value of traditional qualifications in shaping credible political discourse.
