They explore how these influencers have started advocating for food-stamp purchases of soda, questioning whether it's a betrayal or just business as usual. The conversation delves into the ethics of influencer marketing, the ease of selling out for profit, and the humorous absurdities of soda marketing tactics. Expect sharp insights mixed with wit on the intersection of politics, public health, and social media.

Art aficionado and professional artist John Dee joins the conversation, diving into the current crisis in the movie industry and the fate of artistic forms. They explore whether art can truly become obsolete or if it finds new life through innovation. Key discussions include the evolution of blockbusters, the impact of technology on viewing habits, and the commercialization's effects on creativity. Dee emphasizes the need for authentic artistic movements and the balance between self-expression and deeper reflections in art.

Suspicious fires involving Tesla vehicles raise questions about intentional vandalism linked to a history of leftist political violence. The discussion highlights key riots, the Weather Underground, and ongoing acceptance of violence in some movements. The shift towards authoritarian tactics in modern politics and media complicity are explored, along with the alarming potential for domestic terror. There’s an urgent call for federal action against the organizations behind these acts, urging a strong response to curb violent extremism.

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, issuing statements to the press meant to derail President Trump. Federalist co-founder Sean Davis joins me to discuss.

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 faith? We'll be diving into the details.

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 identity and created a sense of hyperreality in the culture wars. The Prudentialist joins me to discuss.

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 challenging their grip on power, the ruling class attempted to pivot to hard power. The American left responded with riots, imprisonment of political opponents, and even an assassination attempt on the populist presidential candidate. Yet these efforts failed, and Donald Trump won office with a decisive mandate.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.

Many leaders in the international community cheered when Bashar al-Assad's regime collapsed in Syria, ignoring the warnings that while the strongman wasbrutal, 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 YouTube channel Semiogogue joins me to discuss the state of the conflict and why Western governments have a difficult time grasping the dynamics of the region.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/Today's sponsors: Follow https://x.com/WillHild Learn more about your ad choices.

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 of proximity and particularity and why they are so critical to understanding the divide in values between the political Right and Left.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.

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 like Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen. Podcaster and columnist Patrick Casey joins me to discuss.
