Diversity Is a Weapon That Dismantles Social Trust | 9/25/26 Sep 25, 2026

Show notes

The center-left academic Robert Putnam is well known for his research on social cohesion, but his research led to a discovery that he suppressed for years. When Putnam finally came forward with his data, he revealed that diversity has negative impact across almost all domains of social cohesion. People in diverse societies trust the government less, have fewer friends, participate less in civic organizations, and spend more time at home watching television. We'll review Putnam's findings and discuss why they remain controversial.

The American Dream Is Being SOLD as a Luxury Upgrade | 9/24/26 Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

Over the last few decades, many industries discovered they could grow their customer base and profits by selling a cheaper, inferior version of their product while degrading the experience for everyone. Air travel and theme parks are obvious examples. Both learned that the advantages of scale could outweigh the obligation to deliver a high-quality experience. That philosophy did not remain in the realm of economics. It spread slowly but surely into American public life. The United States government increasingly treats the country the same way: expand the customer base, maximize throughput, then sell people a tiered version of the American experience as the baseline crumbles.

No One Fights for a Country That's Replacing Them | Guest: Christian Heiens | 9/23/26 Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

A battle has broken out inside the conservative movement over the nature of American identity. Many establishment conservatives insist that America is a propositional nation where you only need to love freedom and wear a football jersey to belong. But identities that are so transactional do not inspire people to sacrifice and die on behalf of a nation. Christian Heiens, cohost of "Making the Argument," joins me to discuss. ollow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack: https://auronmacintyre.substack.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuronMacintyre Gab: https://gab.com/AuronMacIntyre YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/AuronMacIntyre Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-390155 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AuronMacIntyre:f Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auronmacintyre/

Is Government Just a Legal Protection Racket? | Guest: News Fist | 9/21/26 Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

Every functioning government provides physical protection while demanding money in the form of taxes. The state will send armed men to lock you up if you do not pay. Does that mean that governments are nothing but a glorified protection racket? News Fist joins me as we continue our series reading "Collective Violence, Contentious Politics, and Social Change" by Charles Tilly.

Bo French Ignites a Debate on Indian Immigration | Guest: Matthew Williams | 9/18/26 Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Texas GOP candidate Bo French ignited a furious debate on the nature of American identity after posting a photo of a University of Texas game that showed one section of the stands dominated by foreigners. The mass migration of Indians into Texas has created a cultural shift that many residents find unsettling. Democrats rushed to accuse the candidate of racism, and they were joined by many Texas Republicans, but French stood firm. Matthew Williams joins me to discuss the situation on the ground in Texas and what this might mean for the future of the GOP.

The Debt Crisis Is a Democracy Crisis | 9/17/26 Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

As Republicans head toward what looks like a perilous midterm election, affordability is on everyone’s lips. The Biden administration never convinced voters that it had brought food and housing costs under control. Some Republicans have tried to pretend the problem does not exist; others have acknowledged it without making meaningful progress. Both Joe Biden and Donald Trump made choices that worsened the pressure, from expanding federal spending to deepening costly foreign commitments. Neither party has a durable solution. The Congressional Budget Office projects a $1.9 trillion deficit for fiscal year 2026, and debt held by the public now tops 101% of GDP. Spending and inflation are not accidents at the edge of mass democracy. They follow from its incentives, and nothing will change until the incentives do.

Three Models of American Identity | 9/16/26 Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Many Americans have heard the "melting pot" analogy used to explain the nature of our country's identity, but they don't know that term is relatively new. For most of the nation's history, the "Anglo-assimilation model" was considered the standard. Immigrants could come from all over Europe, but they were expected to conform to a predominantly British culture. We will be looking at Samuel Huntington's book "Who Are We?" to help us understand the three different models of American identity.

Show notes

A drop in fertility rates across the world are impacting almost every society, but no one seems to have any good solutions. Attempts to reward motherhood or support it financially have largely failed. Kevin Dolan of the EXIT Group joins me to discuss why an attack on the core structures of managerial liberalism is necessary if our civilization is going make it to the other side.

Marriage Is Being Socially Engineered Out of Existence | Guest: Lauren Chen | 9/11/26 Sep 11, 2026

Show notes

The latest jobs report showed that 98% of new jobs in the month of August went to women, along with most of the raises and promotions. President Trump and other GOP politicians praised the news as a victory for women, but the implications for marriage in the U.S. are staggering. Women do not marry unemployed men, and they do not marry men who make less than they do. Lauren Chen joins me to explain why marriage is being socially engineered out of existence.

Child Care Crashout Reveals the GOP Has a Loser Mentality | 9/10/26 Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

The Trump administration recently revealed it is drafting a proposal, championed by Vice President JD Vance, to change how the government distributes money already earmarked for child care. The plan would tap the roughly $12 billion Child Care and Development Fund and make some of that money available to married couples with a stay-at-home parent. No new appropriation is involved. After months of conservative outrage over fraud and abuse in child care programs, you might expect the Right to welcome a proposal that gives families another option. Instead, establishment conservatives attacked Vance with the usual charge: socialism.
