As the father of a son that spent 3.5 years recovering from injuries received in Iraq, and is now permanently disabled, simple words can not express my appreciation for this man. Thank you so much!
He sees and salutes your boy, and so do we. Thanks to your son for his service.
Thank your son and at least I hope he can earn a living.
Thank your son for his service.
May God make your father-son relationship stronger and deeper. It’s the greatest wealth we can know in this world.
Thank you for your sacrifice, and pass on our thanks to your son.
A famous person once said " What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and yet loses his own soul?"
@Cousin Vinny it did 😂
Amen!

Yes, but please remember that this statement from Christ is about following Christ, not embracing a political ideology, independent of how righteous or costly that ideology may be.
@@wile9763 indeed brother, even politics tend to bend their rules! But the Might Lord never bends nor changes one rule!
"There is a price you pay for everything. And, the price of buying into lies and pretending to believe what you don't believe is exhorbitant." Well said, Sir.
And people are so obsessed with the fear of causing offense, being the first one to identify a possible cause of offense and of course, feeling offended. I think it's part of the psychological mechanism that's gone haywire at the moment: stopping the sensation of OFFENSE, wanting it not to exist. Ah! Unless you're a SJW zealot who is 'fighting the woke war'. Or someone just as dopey, self-centred and despicable who is oblivious to the ugly, demented hypocrisy of weaponising words and every other hacking tool at your disposal in order to fire at people who have been identified as your enemies courtesy of a dogmatic ideology which you think is, again, morally superior. In that case causing offense is okay because 'you're on the right side of history' and it's 'for the common good'. You can never eradicate the sensation of 'offense' from the human condition. There are 7 billion of us sharing real estate on this space rock, so isn't it for the best that we just all encourage emotional resilience and perspective in our youngsters rather than indulging them and empowering all these woke bullies to stomp out the people whose opinions they are 'offended' by? Who cares about being offended?! How have our strident, passionate young people become so emotionally brittle that they lash out and report someone for 'hate speech', demand someone lose their livelihood, get a criminal record or become socially ostracised due to having an OFFENSIVE opinion?! We've all been far too kind and indulgent with these manipulative, selfish, impulsive, cry-baby bullies who cannot communicate properly. Unless we're reaching out to deliberately interfere unsolicited in our neighbour's daily lives then live and let live I say. How can we learn and understand each other if we're all too afraid to give each other our unvarnished life experience stories and exchange honest observations & questions? Can't 7 billion people be allowed to hold different values and have their own ideas and just be left alone: not everybody has to like everybody, my god. The internet has, interestingly enough, made things far more suffocating and claustrophobic with all this policing the opinions of strangers. I like the quote you posted too, it resonated with me also.
Yep. See also, The Big Lie.
As a former soldier who was deployed to Iraq a lot during this time frame (03-08), you sir, are an honorable man. Thank you for saying what you did.
Thank you for serving our country. 🧡
Thank you for your service
thank you for your service, god bless you
So you are saying that the destruction of Iraq and all the American and Iraqis killed and maimed based on a lie from the government is a good thing?
I’m a former soldier too but I can actually think for myself.....
@@marcusaetius9309 you say that like it was the first lie and we were the first soldiers lied to.
You can find out who your real friends are when you start disagreeing with their ideological golden calves.

I don't have any conservative friends because they happen to be the most braindead people on earth.

After listening to the entire video, it's easy to understand why Hollywood hates Andrew Klavan. He's a man of principles and integrity. That simply doesn't fly in Hollywerird.
No, you are wrong, sir! It's actually a HollyCrap
There gas been many: Clint Eastwood, Charles Heston, Ronald Reagan...Hollywood used to be conservative in another era. I live near near there, its one of the most debased places on earth now, in my opinion.
@@docbrown2045 Lol
@H scott yes..
How many of their elites turned a blind eye (and still do) to the sexual assaults? Love their movies, but Hollywood is a cesspool of immorality and hypocrisy.
My husband is a career soldier, my son is on active duty, and I’m a vet. THANK YOU for fighting the culture war while our service members fought overseas. I’m glad you shared this. I hope your wife is so incredibly proud of you and loves your more today than she did yesterday!!!
Are you thrilled with how Hollywood glorifies war with such abominations as American Sniper, madame?
@@scronx I'm thrilled with exactly zero things Hollywood chooses to glorify. I do, however, support @AndrewKlavan, and appreciate his support for our military and families.
Honestly, it's getting to the point that when average, everyday Americans hear about someone being cancelled for not towing the line, they gain respect for that person whether they agree with that person or not. Integrity and dignity are very important.
Agreed.
But also a small correction - *toeing
Except cancel culture isn't an actual thing. It's just a tired publicity stunt.
@@FIDIOT-cringe Keep pulling the blinds over your eyes. By the time you're in their crosshairs, it's already too late.
@@mobiusraptor7 Whose gotten cancelled? Who decides who gets cancelled? Are you maybe just thinking of the fact that when someone acts like a garbage person the public is no longer interested in what they have to say?
If you get cancelled nowadays, you know you're doing something right.
Isn’t that the truth? While also being such a shame. Shame on the modern mainstream American culture.
Absolutely.
Perhaps.
yes but it still sucks, good man
sir, this is an arby's
My father, about a year or two before he died, gave me a note I can't seem to find, but said, " son, I don't have much, I never made millions of dollars or bought acres of land, I have had to work every day just to keep a roof over our heads and food on our table. But I am giving you our name, I have not sullied it, I have always been true to it, I have never put it in the mud or lied on it's behalf. I have carried it all my life proudly through peace and war. It's the most precious thing to me and I am now leaving it with you and ask only that you treat it with the same respect and love that I have over my life. Your dad."
What a great dad.
What a great man.
Thank you for sharing that. Amazing and it’s so true.
Wow, that’s a powerful message! Your dad was an amazing man.
that's absolutely amazing, thanks for sharing it.
He should make a script about all those who lost their soul to Hollywood and the price they paid
Is Robert Altman still alive ? Ideal director for it
But how do you sell your soul technically?
You compromise your values and convictions for the the riches and fame they will give you.
"Quiz Show" is about a man who sold his soul for fame and money. A true story and it destroyed his life. "A Man for All Seasons" is about a man who was sentenced to death because he would NOT compromise his values. "The Crucible" about people who were hung because they would not "admit" they were witches. Paul Scofield was in each of these movies.

One of the most profound quotes ever in my opinion. I love Jordan Peterson 👌
Love him too
I was reminded of Jordan Peterson as I watched this, too. These two men are deep thinkers about things that really matter.

@@tonyaprim3047 dude come the fuck on, jordan peterson is not a profound thinker
As one of those young men who was on the other side of the world, I deeply appreciate your conviction. No, you did not make the ultimate sacrifice, and neither did I, but you made far more than most.
He took a major hit on his reputation, which links to how much money he makes, because people like you put your lives on the line to save our lives. Different degrees of heroism, yes, but you both are true heroes. I pray to also be brave when it comes to the test of integrity.
Thank you sir.
Help to get in Hollywood/MSM if you have a Jewish last name.
@@taylorc2542 Jewish last name, black fetishization, hatred of whites the holy trifecta! Lol
It just goes to show how out of touch the people in Hollywood are. They have no understanding of the core values of the average American citizen. First off America does not suck and is not always the bad guy.
I've known for years, there is always a price to pay for standing up for one's principles. Good on you, Andrew... Screw Cancel Culture.
I'm from Italy, I'm really worried about what's happening in the U.S. and I just wanted to tell you that I really appreciated this video, keep on defending your moral values!
Andrea, the daily wire is propaganda. Don't believe anything you hear here
@@hermatred572 so you think cancel culture does not exist?
@@hermatred572 So I won't believe you.
@@hermatred572 Mr. Klavan recounts his personal experiences in a thoughtful & detailed way, admittedly from his point-of-view. I fail to understand why you interpret that as propaganda -- unless it's because it doesn't fit your point-of-view and you're unwilling (or unable) to analyze it objectively.
Serious question: What digital or print source do you consider *not* to be propaganda?
@@hermatred572 How can you distinguish any truth in media when what you see is visually manipulated. Main stream media is the worst but most printed media is also on the same propaganda train. You're sad if you see propaganda in the Daily Wire but don't see propaganda in the sleepy Creepy Joe orchestrated media rewrites of the doddering Socialist Puppet that he is into a fictitious leader. He can barely puppet the lines he has been given. The nation was lost during the coupe of 2020. We could be taken out at any time by our enemies while they laugh at our leaders. There is no Rule of Law or a traitor with a bank account full of foreign CCP and Ukraine funds would NOT be our president. There is no loyalty among alphabet agencies or the F_B_I wouldn't have systematically gone into key states to collect and destroy election evidence at the same time they went into Giuliani's home searching for evidence that proved Biden corruption. Coming soon to a town near you.
I would’ve never guessed in a million years that Andrew Klavan was a Hollywood screenwriter before he came to the Daily Wire
Me neither but it makes sense considering how witty he is.
I know. I knew he was talented and has a way with words. Now it makes sense.
Same. Shocking actually. Amazing backstory.
He's too humble and moral to play the Hollywood game, so it's obviously hard to imagine.
Lol goes to show how little Americans know about our own good citizens. Many solid conservatives from his generation had Hollywood careers
Drew's backstory is so inspiring.
I see leftists throw around the insult that a lot of conservative pundits are "failed hollywood types", but they completely miss that's due to the left's intolerance and that they're gloating about their own bigotry without even knowing it. Guys like Klavan just wanted to write stuff and they took that away from him. That's what inspired him and others to speak out.
It's a badge of honor, really. Since to be a "Hollywood type" means actively or implicitly participating in morally bankrupt practices.
@@GambitsEnd I agree, but IMHO the ones who really disgust me are the ones who don't share Hollywood's ideals but don't have the intestinal fortitude to speak up.
Yes, I agree. To fail in Hollywood is a great thing. Klavans case, it meant he never had to sacrifice his ethics or his values for the shallow, superficial rhetoric, and moral depravity, that Hollywood pushes.
They're gloating their own agony. It's what we tend to do as humans but rest assured the pieces of shit feel like pieces of shit. People with Drew's mind and attitude are drawn there to do one thing and if they let the place change them then they lose whatever they would have had to be proud of. Glad the facade appears to be crashing down finally and really glad nobody cares about the Oscars..
There are very few people in Hollywood who have made it. Most of those on the left are actually failed Hollywood and they just found another avenue to grift.
My grandfather was in an all black regiment in World War 2, my father served an extra 2 years in the military after 9/11.

“You’re in the business of forming your own soul” some of the most inspiring words I have ever heard and wish they hadn’t come so late in my life
Andrew Klavan sounds like the kind of man I could sit down to a couple of drinks with and listen to for hours on end - fascinating and extremely intelligent - all without hitting you over the head with how smart he is!
yeah, but all the forced laughing (mostly by Klavan) at his own jokes gets tedious after a while
Agreed. I'd love to hear more of his stories over some beers.
*all eyes on Ben*
In just want to eaves drop at dinner party. The deep stories come out when talking with trusted friends.
I was lucky enough to have dinner with him about 10 years ago. He struck me back then as a remarkably talented yet humble guy, and I’ve seen nothing to the contrary in the years since.
Integrity comes at a cost. It is however priceless and irreplaceable.
Well said
The only thing - ONLY THING that can never be taken away from you ... is your integrity.
Only you can give your integrity away.
They can take your house, your job, your freedom and even your life ... but no one can take your integrity away from you. A person can give away their integrity but it can NEVER be taken from you.
🙏🏽
Preach.
This needs to be pinned as top comment
You had to sell your house but you kept something the Hollywood crazy crowd will never have. Sense of integrity, feeling that you KNOW you did the right thing. My best to you and your family. Greetings from Mexico.
I really wish Andrew would talk more about his experiences in Hollywood. He may not like to think of himself this way, being that he's so humble, but just hearing him talk around the edges of those experiences here was so incredibly inspiring.
I'm a writer and got cancelled for my views. This is such an inspiring story. Thank you for sharing.
Same here. I got canceled by Reuter’s News Agency as their freelance photojournalist due to hearsay from haters who didn’t like that I am pro life. It’s insane. They are going to answer when their time is up.
You're not cancelled. You still have an audience. It's us the people who feel like you.
@@accesstotheredcarpet Wow! It was very similar here. All the best for you. I have a strong feeling that the tide is turning in the future. I'm based in Germany and things are going to get worse here before they get better. But I have hope for the US.
@@chudchadanstud Thank you. It's always great to know that there are still normal people out there.
@@accesstotheredcarpet Let's get both of you back to work. Maybe the Daily Wire has something for you.
I had no knowledge of Mr. Klavan's background. This was terrific to watch and to learn his story. He has my respect.
Same. No idea how far he fell or where he came from.
If you want a real backstory, read "The Great Good Thing." It's his memoir that explains his whole life story and eventual turn to Christ.
I didn't either until a couple of years after I started watching him.He's in my top 3 of all-time favorites!
In one of his shows about a year ago Klavan referred to his background, comparing his situation back then to the current cancel culture. He apparently called the phone company, thinking there was something wrong with the connection. Nobody called him anymore. Just like the deep state bureaucracy agencies, media, bigcorp, bigtech, schools, judges, politicians are colluding now, the movie scene had sent the memo he had to be canceled. Amazing how thorough the fascist dem system already worked back then. Imagine how many people went mad when The Outsider came to put ordinary Americans first in 2016. They couldn't believe Hillary, who had already made interior designs for her DC rooms, had to call her removal team to turn around.
same.
Never knew you were a screen writer sir. Well done, never ever sell your soul or principles for financial gain. What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose your soul.

Yup my parents taught that to us and I'm passing onto my children and grandkids. If we don't the education system will teach them the opposite
I have a kid about to start school. I'm trying to find out how early the indoctrination starts. I'll have to look into my local teachers and curriculum. It's sad that people with morals have to fight against some schools.
@@rokko_hates_japan too bad you can’t homeschool 😕
@@rokko_hates_japan See what the school board people are all about by attending a few meetings. Then see if anything like the 1619 project pseudo-history or the cancer of critical race/theory is part of the curriculum. Hopefully it isn't. We're in real need of an actual education system to replace what is in place now. Helping, accelerating the destruction of America thru our children. Marxism being dominant on college campuses is a sure sign of our internal explosion. Starts with our kids minds, don't let them be taken over by these people & their cancerous ideology.
@@mrt2this607 excellent advice.
I enlisted, and later became a warrant officer starting around 2004. I was shocked at how much hollywood apparently hated me.
Fuck Hollywood they don’t know nothing about the real world when you have actors and actresses getting paid millions to star in movies and yet they somehow want would struggling people want what hate groups of Black lies matter and antifa want so who cares about what they think they don’t spend their lives protecting and serving their communities every day compared to them betraying that in movies
Thank you so much for your service officer. God bless you!
There is a whole culture out there in the west that detests people for nothing more than just being normal.
There's a girl in SC who deeply respects and admires you. Serving this country is honorable & so brave. Thank you for helping to keep me free. My father served in Vietnam when he was 17. You have to be old to realize how young 17 is. It boggles my mind. You were drafted to Vietnam, then spit on & called baby killer if you made it home. He's such a wonderful man. It breaks my heart. Idk how any of you do it, but thank you. I'm so grateful. It breaks my heart too that a veteran makes it home safely to be treated like criminals. Medical care sux, put on watch lists, ungrateful & clueless citizens and the saddest part is when the veteran doesn't see it coming. Its fu☆☆ed up and WRONG, its treason. My dad didn't talk about it much, one day in his 60s, I watched him try to catch a fly so he could let it outside, I asked, WHAT? WHY? r u doing? He had fly swatter. He burst into tears & said he just couldn't kill anything anymore.
Sorry for long reply, I dont get worked up easily. 1st & 2nd Ammendments, respecting our military and police, & animal cruelty. These are hills I'm willing to die on.
Thank you, Sir, for your service. With all of my heart, thank you.
@@johnm7564 I agree. I remember when the admitted gulf of tonkin wasn't just a mistake, but DID NOT HAPPEN. my dad once they got there, they didn't even know why they were there. They'd been lied to. And I can't overlook they were drafted...not waiting in line to sign up
I worked in film and television for 8 years. It took me a while to open my eyes and really see what was happening in my industry, but I finally did and got the hell out. They want conformity and favor "group think" over individual thought. If you have opposing views or beliefs they find any reason to blacklist you. I saw it happen numerous times.
I am often reminded of a young man's image upon his graduation from West Point. I watched him grow up as I worked with his father, a local Prosecutor. He came home for Christmas and I ate lunch with him and his father at the courthouse Christmas party. I didn't know him well, but he was an impressive young man. Six months later I was at his funeral. As is so often the case, the family fell apart, the father gave up his career to teach history. We were lucky as our son was in the 82nd Airborne with only slight injuries, but far too many young lives were lost or changed forever. I recommend this to anyone with or without a direct connection.
What an excellent piece. I'm so glad The Daily Wire put this on.
This is one of the MOST inspiring things I’ve seen in a LONG time. Overwhelmed me with tears
Me too. But I'm a woman so it's normal. You're a man, so it's a compliment to Klavan as a story teller.

@@garretthindsley9649 You look alike, too, but I can't usually tell the brown-haireds apart. 🤷🏼♂️
@Greywolf88 Absolutely, get a grip man. I mean, I like the guy, but the editing with the moments of 'reflection' with the voice overs was actually pretty nauseating.
Its called integrity and it's in short supply these days!
Call it serendipity, but I heard this at a pivotal moment in my life today. Thank you so much. I really needed it.
Hope all is well Bruce.
From a time when a five year old joke made on Twitter can destroy you.
No amount of money can earn you respect, and you’ve got mine. Congratulations on being a phenomenal human being!
As always.... no matter what happens in this world...
The ONLY important thing is that we protect and save the Klavan
ua-cam.com/video/2KK61dWbVFU/v-deo.html
Thats right. Hahaha
🎶 There are no E’s in Klavan 🎶
@Greywolf88 couldn't agree more. However I wish to protect his physical person from woke-like harm. Jesus has the rest! 🙌🏽
Yes , protect the Klavan at all costs 👍🏻👏🙏
Hollywood, well, the arts in general wield so much power over our impressionable youngsters and soft-headed people in general that there is a real responsibility for all people toiling in movies, music, literature etc, I totally agree. I was fascinated to hear Mr Klavan's story. I felt like I was sitting on a plane and finally got seated next to someone interesting to talk to. The thing to address in open conversation and through personal testimonial is how life imitates art and art imitates life and life imitates art and art imitates life...it just goes round and round. It's almost a living thing, the arts and the way it all influences people. It promises to be the eternal conversation but I hope we begin. I have a gentle, academic pacifist friend who works as a professional writer and as a professor in college and for most of her life has avoided the shrill debates and ugly skirmishes on the 'culture war' battlefield thinking none of this stuff truly impacted upon her life and career. Think again. I'm so cross with her wilful ignorance and don't know how to make her truly see what's going on in the world and how her entire field is at risk of a scorched earth policy in some corners if these gentle, aloof bookworms don't start paying attention and speaking up. To be honest, it's like she still thinks the landscape is the same fundamentally as it was in the 1990's. Only, everything has changed. Even the words we used back then have entirely different meanings and connotations. Does she know this?! Does anybody else have smart, well educated friends who just refuse to get involved because it's all too exhausting and brutally unpleasant for them? Combative thought and expression IS exhausting but surely there's still a way in which the average person can speak freely without unnecessary moral or intellectual compromise or the risk of being smeared, cancelled or the worst outcome which we all fear and which keeps up gagged in 'real life': legal trouble. It's all utterly despicable. The amount of misunderstanding, the rapidity with which people are condemned before even being understood accurately...what has happened to us all here in the West? Big Tech have an enormous amount to answer for. We couldn't have imagined this back in the 1990's when we were all so innocently enthusiastic about the internet. Big Tech and the arts...something's gone horribly, horribly wrong.
The "soul-making business" is exactly what life is all about, and why the world is such a cesspool. It takes real effort and consistency and that's infinitely more difficult than just going along to get along.
Didn't know Klavan was a Hollywood guy. Looking where he's at now - my respect for him just went so so up. Much respect!
The Broke Woke Oscars this year was the first real slap in the face that Hollywood has received in many years. Long overdue. More coming
The flopscars.
@@credenza1 hahahaha!!!
the death of Hollywood is imminent
To be fair, viewership of the Oscars has been shrinking for years. But you're right that this years' was particularly abominable.
Let's hope. Hollywood should be canceled and all awards shows too.
Man, I liked this guy before, but after this, I love him. That was so incredibly powerful, moving and uplifting. You can't buy integrity, but you can certainly sell it. This is perhaps one of the very best things I've heard in a long time. Dignity, honor, and standing for what you believe is by far more important than a little bit of ephemeral financial security. "The business that you're really in, no matter what you do, is in the soul-making business." ~Andrew Klavan
This is so sad. Any of us could be in this position. Thank you Andrew.
The Daily Wire is making movies now. An adaptation of Another Kingdom would be great.
It would take a large budget to make a film like that. At the moment conservative film industry is in its infancy and they would be better spent making movies at a smaller budget that focuses on the talents of the writers and actors rather than building complex expensive worlds.
It would be an interesting film to see.
@@bighands69 We start somewhere. It will take a lot of failures to succeed.
It was an Amazon property - Brilliance Publishing - that did the audiobook of this series (voiced of course by Michael Knowles), so they likely have the movie rights, at least for a time. On the other hand, it was Turner Publishing who published the original book series and they're growing like a weed, so maybe they have them.

100% nailed it. Thank you for making this much-needed video. I'm sharing.
To be honest I never had a clue where Klavan came from, or that this was his backstory. Mega respect for him.

He didn’t really explain how he came back from being cancelled.
he got hired by the daily wire... the daily wires fanbase/viewerbase doesn’t bend over for cancel culture. so from here on he will always be heard and have a voice.
Its been repeated so much but its so true:
“All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing!”
Thank you so much for doing something and not nothing!
I've always liked listening to Andrew Klavan speak. Now I've found a new appreciation for who he is as a human being. Thank you, Andrew Klavan 🙏
His life was not what he thought it could be
He dreamed of becoming a better being
An ideal he could nearly see and feel
Determined to make it real
He stepped forward
And sealed the deal
I can listen to him talk all day long. Even recounting these events he's a great storyteller.
What a breath of fresh air. I stumbled onto this video and realized that its exactly what I've been needing to hear for quite some time. Thank you sir.
"Words fitly spoken are like apples of gold in pitchers of silver."
This was the most inspirational video of this year. No wonder I like Andrew Klavan so much.
Respect to you sir ! If only there were more people of integrity and honesty like you.
I always wanted to write video game stories. But the colleges where l live didnt have those options so l settled for writing novels in the hopes of having them adapted to movies. If Hollywood is still on the decline by then, Daily Wire will be there for me
Drew Karpyshyn
That is probably the man who’s career you would want to emulate.
As far as I know he is incredibly open to fans and enthusiasts.
“rew Karpyshyn (born July 28, 1971) is a Canadian video game scenario writer, scriptwriter and novelist. He served as a senior writer for BioWare's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and lead writer for the first two Mass Effect video games.”
He also wrote the Darth Bane trilogy which is amazing as well as Revan.
His works are vast indeed.

Greatly look forward to his Live All Access appearances on Wednesdays ❤️
This is so inspiring to hear. As a young filmmaker myself I struggle every day with making decisions that are going to sell or making decisions that are going to impact my integrity as a human being and as an artist. Thank you Andrew for encouraging us to fed our souls and stand up to the truth.

Half our Republican politicians are cowards, the other half is given no choice but to make a crook the head of the GOP, some of us are racist(thanks to southern confederates claiming the right), many of us are out of touch with culture, and we have just about nearly every other human and political flaw you can think of that the left also bears...
BUT, the left is getting farther and farther left; more and more radical. The right at this point is the only consistent side of the political spectrum that isnt trying to "evolve" its beliefs because we understand that politics and human morality has no evolution. We understand that if you have a brown cake and a pink cake, the pink cake is the good cake and just because you put pink icing and new decorations on the brown cake doesnt mean its not still a bad brown cake. It's the same cake with a different look. The left calls that "progress" which is why they call themselves progressives.
@@PWNINSWAGMASTER Wow, well said. It takes a very deep awareness of self to be able to realize and admit one's flaws. You guys are very much in touch with reality despite the flaws. Thanks for the insight!
@@tilusnewman103 Sure thing. There's probably more that some people on the left can point out is wrong with the right aside from the things I pointed out and aside from just the basic political differences between us, but there are liberals out there who actually remain consistent about their left-wing beliefs like Joe Rogan and Bill Maher who are already picking up on the far-leftism scent.
@@PWNINSWAGMASTER That's true. Personally, I just want to live in a society where differences do not divide us; where having different political views won't cost you your job. That is freedom. I am a fan of both Joe and Bill, though I do not always agree with their views. It's good that genuine liberals like Bill and Joe are beginning to realize the flaws in the radical left. It's sure hope that cancel culture won't last. As Dave Chappelle put it, "no one can ever be woke enough."
Good character and integrity have no borders. It is noticed anywhere on the planet.
I just happen to see more American and Canadian real media, but I would love to see more good character planet wide. That'd be great.
I think his statements about the loss of your soul when succumbing to Hollywood's demands were the most powerful. Indeed... Hollywood has been an empty shell of superficiality with no redeeming qualities inside. Bravo, sir! And THANK YOU for sharing this story!
Hollywood is decaying inside. Long dead, but growing deader by the minute as they cancel any rational voice.
Mark 8:35-36 kjvFor whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
It is really the whole of media that is soul destroying. TV media has done far more damage than any thing else.
This is why "The Klavan" is my favorite at DW-- integrity, courage and faith!
Super cool to see the story of Andrew. I've wondered about it for a while, and looked into it briefly, but really cool to see him narrate it, and his picture as a young man, and books, and movies that got made. Well done. Been wanting to see this.
The "business of forming your own soul!" How absolutely, profoundly TRUE!
Congratulations for being an honourable man. More humans need to find their integrity.
True patriot and a man with ethics. Great example for us all Andrew
Wow. I didn't know this about Klavan. Such a robust gallery of works and screenplay. Wow.
WOW!!! Such talent! Not surprised! Love u Andrew Klavan! You're a blessing to so many! God bless you!
i miss Klavan's daily podcasts, but I'm glad he's busy with scripts. Hopefully, he does scrips for movies that Daily wire produce. Hopefully, Andrews series, Another Kingdom, will become adapted, by Daily wire into a movie or tv series or something
They would be better off focusing on tv shows rather than movies at first. They can still do a few movies but with TV shows they could have a large number of people watching it for a few months and then coming back for season 2.
What a stallion. This is truly inspiring. “The soul making business.” I love that! Beautifully put.
Well said! Thanks for being a wonderful role model for my son. He fell in love with your Homelander series. I can't wait to show him this video. Keep up the great work, and always stay true to who you are.
This is another example of what a REAL man looks like! Thank God for Andrew Klavan & thank you to all the real men out there that continue to stand up for what's right! God bless you all!!
I nvr knew about his background, so interesting!
That was so wonderful. Thank you Andrew & whoever put that together. That was like a little jewel to keep & watch again...we do make our own souls. Mini refresher course in life!
Thank you Mr Klavan for standing by your principles! Too many people are giving in and they will pay for that mistake in many spirit destroying ways.
This is without a doubt daily wires best video. Not news, or commentary, or even culture. Its one man’s story about staying true to what he believes. Thank you. It makes me stay true to what I believe too.
I just love Klavan. He’s such a great storyteller & so interesting.
His latest work is not based from reality or Christianity and it was not even palatable. I am not a fan of his work at all
@@Blessedone333AZ well he left the Church...
Thanks Andrew - brilliant exposition. Great Lessons. Loved "A Shock To The System".
I hope you’re writing the script for Gina’s next movie.
The DailyWire should do this type of autobiographical pieces from all their hosts, even godking Jeremy Boreing.
Jeremy has a great backstory as well. He goes into it on the Sunday Special he did with Ben a few months back.
I think you meant to say "Even Michael Knowles" 😉
@@C.S.Sperry hahaha... did Jeremy pay you to say that 😉
I'd really like to know why they give Knowles such a hard time. I don't mind it, it's funny. But I'm curious.
@@blessd24 From my understanding, it stems from Michael Knowles being a bit of a troll with a **** eating grin sometimes, and catalized when he wrote the book Reasons to Vote For Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide. This book outsold any of Ben's previous books, and had the added benefit of not having any words in it, this prompting Knowles to claim that he didn't see what the big deal was, and that writing was easy etc.
"There is a price you pay for everything." I only understood this when I reached middle age. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you for sharing your story and for offering advice based on what you have learned. We need to hear this and require confidence in moving forward even in amongst a cancel cultural all around us.
Thanks so much for making and posting this...there's a reason you're my favorite from The Daily Wire.
I never knew any of this. Fascinating look at Klavan. Thanks for sharing this.
Well this explains why he is so incredibly well spoken. I had no idea, I think he's awesome.
I truly love Klaven. He is a gem and a man's man, but a creative man's man. Speaks his mind without being annoying or a Commie. His honesty and common sense is second to none.
If there is anyone who does not believe in the mysteries of life, they just aren’t paying attention. I had NO idea Andrew Klavin was a writer, except for the DW. I love his podcast and that is how I know him. Yesterday, I was in a used charity book barn in Paihia, New Zealand, when I came across a paperback novel with his name on it. It’s a ghost story. I doubted it was him but I bought it anyway, just in case. Today, I am watching him talk about his writing career and I am about to read my first Andrew Klavin novel. Now that is one of those things that make you go ‘hmmm”. I am very proud to be reading a book written by a man of integrity, grit and noble values. It is sure to be good.
A heartbreaking story, but came out of it is a very strong man.
You're a legend, Andrew Klavan.
Stay strong always sir
God bless you
Sending much love and respect to you, Mr. Klavan. I can't remember how I first came across The Last Thing I Remember, but I used to check out popular YA books occasionally, and somehow I found that one. I later told a boy from my church that I had loved the whole Homelander series and thought he would also, so he read them, and we started emailing back and forth about them. I still feel a bond with this young man all these years later. His parents definitely raised him right - they grilled me about the content of these books before they allowed him to read them. I still feel a strong bond with this young man all these years later, and he grew up to be a very fine man.
Wow! You encouraged me. I was getting discouraged that so many of my friends and acquaintances have caved in to the crazy fads in Public Education. (Critical race theory, critical Queer theory) Even those who agree with me are too timid to speak up. Who woulda thot a Hollywood Script writer would put the lead back in my pencil?
"In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried allowed.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed."
*Way to never bow. Much love & respect, Andrew.*
THANK YOU!! OMG, I love ghost stories, not blood or gore! There's a HUGE difference between the two!!
This is awesome. I never knew anything about klavan's history. What a stud.
@Greywolf88 What year were you born?
Andrew! My hero! To thine own self be true. Wish the rest of us had one tenth the size of gonads you've got. I'm an old white guy here in LA, had some bites on my 2 TV pilot treatments, then last summer's protests hit. Agent retired, and today I'm told now given the priorities of the studios, old white guys need not apply. Not throwing a pity party, life has been good. I've had my share. No regrets. You are an inspiration, sir. Glad you fought back and survived. Genuinely wish you well.
Go Klavan!! I've been listening to your broadcasts you do for the Daily Wire and this is the BEST thing I've seen from you - so honest and so true and so concise!! Well Said. Thank you!!
