Joe Kent Resigns Over Iran War | Guest: J. Burden | 3/17/26

The U.S. military deploys ground troops to the Middle East in what seems like an inevitable escalation of the war in Iran. In addition, Tulsi Gabbard has issued a stunning initial report of a plot that was meant to funnel U.S. war aid from Ukraine into Joe Biden's campaign against Donald Trump. The great Tom Woods joins me to discuss.  Follow 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/ Learn more about your ad choices.

As the war in Iran continues, the rift between anti-interventionists and plan-trusters inside the MAGA movement grows. Was this division inevitable, or is it being intentionally exacerbated by bad actors? Charlemagne joins me to discuss how this coalition can be restored and what actions need to be taken to guard against similar efforts in the future.  Follow 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/ Learn more about your ad choices.

America’s newest political battlefield runs through one of the most miserable places in the country: the airport. Democrats have held up funding for the Department of Homeland Security amid their ongoing war over ICE, and after a month without pay, TSA employees have started refusing to come to work. The result has been crippling delays at major airports, with waits stretching four hours or more and turning an already degraded flying experience into something closer to a public humiliation ritual. The brutal truth is that one political party is willing to disrupt travel across the country to protect illegal immigrants and preserve a future voter pipeline. Even after assassination attempts, lawfare against political opponents, and an open push for demographic replacement, conservatives still hesitate to admit that our political battles have become existential.

Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are increasingly willing to admit that they are attempting to reach salvation through artificial intelligence. As the managerial structures that hold our society aloft start to reach their limits, AI is seen as a new way to transcend the restrictions place on human organization.

A strange effort has begun to sow division inside American Christianity. Online personalities and influencers are spinning a tale in which Catholic integralists seek to undermine evangelical influence in the hopes of ultimately driving the U.S. away from Israel. Professor Chad Pecknold of Catholic University joins me to discuss.

Joe Kent has caused a major controversy by resigning his position inside the Trump administration while suggesting that America entered the war in Iran under pretenses manufactured by the state of Israel. Tucker Carlson joins me to discuss the current conflict, America's alliance with Israel, and the calls for censorship and arrest that have been levied at skeptics of the current war. Carlson also addresses replacement migration and the growing population of Muslims in the West.  Follow 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/ Learn more about your ad choices.

To say the conservative movement has come off the rails would comically understate the damage. Wild accusations bounce from show to show. Members of Congress pick petty fights on social media. President Trump even waded into internet drama while another war rages in the Persian Gulf. Plenty of commentators blame podcasts for this new disorder, and the new ecosystem gives them no shortage of bad behavior to cite. But that diagnosis misses the deeper cause. Establishment conservatives treated their audiences the same way the legacy press did: as a resource to be managed, manipulated, and occasionally milked. A movement that spent decades being lied to will not be stitched back together by scolding the people who finally stopped listening.

Does the current war in Iran spell doom for the American empire? Does the United States fit into the classical definition and life cycle of imperial powers? We respond to YouTuber Academic Agent and his assertion that the end of the American empire is at hand.  Follow 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/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent has resigned in protest against the war in Iran. Kent is a longtime MAGA supporter, combat veteran, and Gold Star husband, so his resignation came as a shock to many. In his resignation letter, Kent claimed that Israel drew the United States into the war and that President Trump was deceived about the level of threat Iran posed to the U.S. J.

Everything you think you know about the function of the human brain is wrong. Dr. Iain McGilchrist, author of "The Master and His Emissary," explains his groundbreaking discoveries about how the brain hemispheres really work. We also discuss how the modern world has focused almost entirely on one hemisphere of the brain, rewiring humans to think and behave in deeply unhealthy patterns. Follow 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/ Learn more about your ad choices.
