The Auron MacIntyre Show

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.

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.

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.

The war in Iran has entered its second week, and the Trump administration is fighting on two fronts: the physical battlefield and the narrative one. Most Americans expected U.S. firepower to dominate, and it has. Seven American service members have died so far, but Iran has suffered far heavier losses in lives and materiel. Even those surprised by the damage Iran managed to inflict on U.S. allies can see the basic reality: Tehran is outmatched. The real question was never whether the United States had superior force. The question was whether the administration could sustain support long enough to translate force into victory.

Is the father of modern political theory encouraging the wicked ruler or simply explaining the nature of his power? We'll address all of these classic questions while also investigating how Machiavelli's advice applies to the modern day.

With Trump's actions in Venezuela and Iran, many right-wing commentators, like my BlazeTV colleague John Doyle, are asking if we should embrace the idea of American empire. This is a critical discussion and a topic that I have invested a lot of time understanding. I respond to the notion that America should expand its role as the global hegemon and provide some alternative models for imperial political structures.
