- Andrew Klavan is an author, screenwriter, and host of The Andrew Klavan Show. He is also a contributing editor to the Manhattan Institute’s City Journal, for which he travelled as an embed reporter with American troops in Afghanistan. A five-time nominee and two-time winner of the Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Award and a recipient of the Thumping Good Read Award, Mr. Klavan has written for numerous publications, including The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. He is the author of numerous novels, including Nightmare City, the Homelanders series, the Mindwar trilogy, Don’t Say a Word, True Crime-which was made into a film by Clint Eastwood-and, most recently, Another Kingdom. His non-fiction writings include a memoir of his religious journey, The Great Good Thing: A Secular Jew Comes to Faith in Christ and a book of satire, The Leftese Dictionary. He has written a number of screenplays, including A Shock to the System, which starred Michael Caine, and Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer, starring Dean Cain.
Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

God bless you Andrew Klavan. A beautiful, crystal clear stand for truth in a world that has indeed gone mad.

No God(s) ever existed... stop lying to us...
The world has always been driven mad by guilt. Socialism's effective displacement and repression of Christianity is making it worse, and is destroying the hard won spiritual and material gains of the last two millenia.
@@karlk9316 - ALL religions = madness...
BuzzLOLOL while you claim religion is madness, you spout your nonsense by spamming it repeatedly, weakly defending it with cuts from the Old Testament with no context for the reason to kill a group of demonic killers. If your belief was so true, you wouldn’t need to scream it in our faces. If truth is true, its factuality will present itself. Obviously you don’t have that on your side.
I have enjoyed many presentations here at Hillsdale College. Mr. Klavan's humor and personality is very refreshing and allows the truth to be heard while being entertained. Thank you Mr. Klavan.
Joel Seymour he’s just too funny. Search UA-cam for Andrew Klavan’s channel. He has almost daily podcasts. They are brilliant and HILARIOUS
I know this has been a while -- I hope you've found some more of Andrew's stuff because it's brilliant. If you haven't, please consider listening to his podcast Episode 313 "What If Everything's Fine". It's from the period right after Donald Trump fired James Comey and the press and the Democrats (but I repeat myself) were running around with their undies in a bundle about the President obstructing justice. I use that show as a gateway drug to get people to listen to his podcast, The Andrew Klavan Show. It's great -- love the old guy's sense of humor.
yes ma’am i
yes
yes
Andrew gave more sound reasoning in thirty minutes, than our entire government could give within a year; or college professors in a lifetime.
@Encore Baby If you won't hear Andrew, you won't hear me. Your comment stated nothing, nada, about anything concerning your disagreement with Andrew. You just threw out the typical blanket statement of condemnation that carries no weight in a debate. Without explanation your words carry the weight of helium. They just disappear into the ether, never to be heard from again.
Encore Baby here’s a sound response. His analysis of the reason society is so crooked (namely the human nature part) is profound today. And I KNOW you haven’t been watching him for years.
Encore Baby “ Ideas collapse when they make no sense” - later he adds that if we have this idea that there are no absolute truths in this world then you are making a relativistic statement into an absolute. ‘That holds no water’ - Klavan has lived this ‘everyone his own truth’ the first half of his life’ - long enough to make him quite depressed and searching for ‘great good things’.
Now when you say "college professors", are you referring to those from all fields, or from a select group of fields?
As a retired journalist I've covered and listened to a lot of speeches and this is probably the best and most needed I've ever heard!
David Hogan of course. In these times, it’s weird growing up. It’s like reality is a fading memory from before I was born. Good to see a person who’s both smart and sane. Unfortunately it’s one or the other in the New York New Jersey area.
David Hogan ...Klavan is a gift
The truth is universal.
Always stand up for the truth and never be ashamed to do so.
Do you consider anonymity on the Web as a form of cowardice...???
@Quebecois - Western Civilization is a good evolving thing... Christianity is an extension of 10,000 b.c.e. evil religion addiction/psychosis mental illness...
As long as we're telling the truth...
Please avoid inflicting yourself onto others
Kind of hilarious that this comment was made by Anonymous Anomaly!
@@BuzzLOLOL Christianity is an extension of the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth, as well as ideas and minds that existed in the world before and after Jesus. The truth is that everything in this world is effemeral and changing, unlike the Eternal. Another is that the Holy Spirit speaks to all of us throughout the day, whether we are listening or not.
This speech should be shown in every school in this country. It’s absolutely brilliant!!
Schools are too busy teaching kids how wonderful Socialism is.
Saint Michael Half of education school consists of indoctrination. In the past students ignored or argued with the teachers now they buy it.
Susan Marie- I agree that most, not all, students do buy into the Socialism nonsense. However, I’ve found that all you need to do to change some of their minds is to challenge these ideas. For example: I like to ask the students in the National Honor Society if they’d be willing to give up 1.0 point of their 4.5 cumulative GPA to a student who has a 1.5 cumulative GPA. Most, not all, say absolutely not. They argue that they’ve worked hard for their GPA and it wouldn’t be fair to give away their work results to a person who hasn’t put in the effort needed to get into a University. You can see that a lot of the students have an epiphany and from that moment on I hope that they at least start to critically think about some of their beliefs.
Susan -- I don't like the word 'indoctrination', it's more like 'conditioning'. 'Indoctrination' implies that our school children are formed to be diligent lefties ... Far from the truth ... Our children know nothing about political theory ... Our children are trained like Pavlov's dog to respond to specific stimuli.
Saint Michael yes brilliant I agree
Dear Andrew Klavan, Wonderful speech I will pray it takes root in the hearts of all who hear it.
The moment you mentioned that intrinsically hilarious corruption of humanity, I thought of Heinlein's Martian Idiot, a hero of mine as wise as Myshkin.
Honestly one of the best speeches I have ever heard, in the sense of not only concisely summarizing the main problems facing society today, but pointing out with surgical precision the very cause of those problems. Bravo!
DEATH TO DO-GOODERS.
@@jeronimotamayolopera4834 Seriously did you not listen to what he just said? Erg unbelievable. The only freedom in death is the dead know nothing. Haha brings up the point who are mediums talking to and what are ghosts and ufos really? Anyway the Bible teaches there is life and death choose life.
Karl Gruner on top of that, putting a standup comedy gig into it as well!
dannysbook authority buddy it’s called trolling and isn’t meant to be taken seriously. He’s making a satirical and ironic joke. Nobody in their right mind would say that in earnest.
Also, are you above 40?
The alternative to being an "old crank" is to still say the same thing, but appealingly, even if the person doesn't react well and is crabby at feeling criticised. That way you give a person a chance who hadn't even listened to the lyrics of their own song they were playing. You set them an example of bravery, if that's all that's holding them back from making better choices of friends & music. To do it successfully, we need to be born again, and people do figure that out...especially if someone gives them the Good News about how to access that! :)
"You have to speak up and fight back."
A. Klavan
Shocking...how uncommon this virtue has become.
I had to go to remedial life skills classes to learn that bullies will continue until we say STOP and then they do stop. An amazing fact of life. Try it. I did. No raised voice, just a simple spoken and written request repeated until it was heard and respected.
@@marylouleeman lol my older brothers ganged up and beat up the school bully and he stopped, i like your idea better
This is one of the finest speeches I have ever heard. Thank you uncle Andrew.
How does anyone not like this guy? He is one of the most inherently likable fellows in the public space.
R. Blakehole That is almost impossibly true.
I used to like him. He just gradually proved that it was more about him than the truth.
@@minnesotarascal7453 Intersting response that seems counter to a lot of other people's experience/perception. Care to give any examples? I see him as an affable guy who sometimes misspeaks but has his heart in the right space. I mean, I guess any of us could be accused of being selfish (since we are) or speaking too strongly/saying the wrong things (since we do). I'd hate to be in the public spotlight since the internet never forgets and we all say dumb things. Is there any reason that he's more guilty of this than the rest of us? Cheers! :)
@@jasoncy31 I can't really name specifics. It was just kind of like I saw so much of him that certain things seemed to bug me. Like, I'm not saying he's not honest or intelligent. I loved listening to him. Calling Trump a fascist was the final straw though. Like suddenly sinking to a high school sjw level. I mean I understood what he was saying, but come on. I'd love to hang out with him in real life, but I'm gonna spend my time listening to other commentators.
He's just another Christian Religious Terrorist...
Mr. Klavan, you are a blessing to the freedom of our country and to the world!!
I like this Man... He is true to himself and in return he is true to all of us and God! Keep up the great work Andrew Klavan!
I do enjoy Andrew Klavan, he is smart, funny, spot on and never offensive, Bravo Sir!

Tacitus Today I’m reporting you for spam
this is the highest order of moral discussion since ancient greece. klavan has infinite wisdom
I would expect so, being as in his youth, Klavan wrangled the great Triceratops to take him to and from the art cave
Klavan is lightyears ahead of every political commentator today. The best speech I've heard hands down.
This is GREAT oration! THIS is what I seek in a Statesman! No politician but rather a rather informed and articulate individual who has a clear (and so normal) view of our World and in particular our Republic! Let us elect such lucid individuals to the highest offices in our land!
Bravo Andrew, Bravo...rich, profound and beautifully grounded.
A world without reverence for God is...madness.
Darth Vitriolis belief even, we lack in.
I always really liked Andrew Klavan, but I had no idea he was this brilliant. As many other commentators have noted, an incredibly insightful speech.
GREAT SPEECH ANDREW YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST.
Thanks a lot, my friend.
I liked Klavan's important point about how the culture belongs to all of us. This is what the left fear most.
Both sides fear that...
you're an idiot. the left is the ordinary people, those who do the work. the right and the conservatives will be the death of all culture.
DH A sign of a free society is the separation of money and power. Another is the ability to live a life away from politics. Leftist systems consolidate money and power such that every move is political, and you cannot survive without power. In a free society there are many elites; in a far leftist system only one. It is innately corrupt.
But somehow the leftists who spit with envy at those who thrive in the voluntary economy, through, yes, work, creativity, perseverance, and luck, aren't distressed in the slightest by those who use power to get wealth, and wealth to get power, in an ever-shrinking circle of theft and control from which ordinary people are excluded.
Sanni Epstein well put holy Toledo

Wow!! I remember now why I used to listen to Mr. Klavan so much on PJ back in the day and on his own show too. Very pleasant. And profound.
mlu ccc I miss that show and that’s how I came to know Mr. Klavan, the brilliant soul of a man!
Thank you Mr. Klavan. Speak out, hold to freedom and truth. Be courageous, but be willing to live with the consequences. Laugh and be filled with joy. We are important each in our space and time...that is the message I got.
Wow. Well said. This would be a good speech for college graduations to impart some wisdom with the diploma.
Treasure Trovel the smartest boi on the blocc.
One speech,even given by Jesus,isnt going to impart wisdom on the bunch of clowns that most universities are dumping on the street.
Andrew you are in fact an exceptional good person!
he's alright I guess.....better than chopped liver and a kick in the 'nads.
Henry V um. U ok?
A good man is not made by words but by action. Do you know his actions or you just judging this by his words?
@@sublimnalphish7232 "Do you know his actions...?"
I know he knowingly lost a lucrative Hollywood career because he refused to slander our soldiers in the field. I know at age 13 or so, he threw away his bar mitzvah gifts because he felt he had gotten them under false pretenses (professing a faith he didn't hold). I know he makes himself a target by opposing the leftist establishment. He is a wordsmith by vocation and avocation. His words are his deeds. Even if you have done better, don't negate your contribution by minimizing those of others. He doesn't get everything right, but he boldly defends the right he sees. Do you imagine you are helping the cause of freedom and faith by seeking to discredit him, however ineptly?
As Jordan Peterson would say" always try to tell the truth but never lie." This was a very good presentation, enjoyed it very much thank you.
Schools and universitities should teach the facts and let the students discuss them and NEVER, EVER indoctrinate or forbid free thinking. What those institutions do is deprive students of their capacity to thins kill their open minds.
This religious school considers "free thinking" to be HERESY !!!
Little do you know! Secular humanism, post modernism communism utopia is their religion/church dogma. Only the mindless are allowed the piece of paper for white collar career. Honest man can not sit quiet through daily lies and bigotry against white man, western civilization, a creator, obvious truths. They killed Socrates.
@@BuzzLOLOL ur a slimy pile
I listened with the greatest possible concentration to this interesting talk. There was so much wisdom in it so it is difficult to refer to a particular point. Perhaps the most important thing that was said, however, must be that you should not sell the truth because you are afraid. You have to overcome fear and dare say what you really stand for. It was one of the most inspiring lectures I heard on UA-cam and they are countless ...
Standing ovation.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Absolutely amazing!!!
Great and very insightful, wise and compassionate speech! Andrew Klavan displays a good deal of intelligence and nuanced understanding
This speech is legitimately amazing.
This was a spectacularly good speech! Klavan
Ya
A wonderful speech. Sir you mix fact and humor so very well. Thank you for posting this.
You know you’re on the right side when Andrew speaks.
I never thought that at the age of 65 I could really learn a lot more about how to be a better person ..... but I think I just did.... thank you sir for this insight. 🙏

THANKS TO YOU & THE TRUTH!
It shouldn't take a mystery writer to see we are being led down a misleading path, but it does.
This in one of the best, most truthful and articulate speeches I've ever heard. Wow, Klaven is brilliant.

Andrew's book, The Great Good Thing is absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend it to anyone who is researching the truth of Jesus/Yeshua being the Jewish Messiah!
Only psychosis can bring you to imaginary evil Jesus...
"A Christian Manifesto" by Francis Schaeffer, brought to my attention at a Pro-life seminar in a church years ago, by a leader in the Pro-life movement in Operation Rescue. After 37 years saved/sober since I was 'born-again' at the old Steuben County Jail, Angola, Indiana, "A Christian Manifesto" by the great Francis Schaeffer strikes me, as being one of the greatest, most inspirational books ever published in recent decades!!

Spherituality lucky you. My youth leader says that Jesus was a refugee, so we should accept people across the border.
Edit: FOR ALL THE DENSE INDIVIDUALS WHO CANT READ, I DO *NOT* AGREE WITH HIM. I REPEAT, *I DO NOT AGREE!*
@@THESLlCK From what circumstance was Jesus a refugee? He lived under Roman laws in a Roman empire, he never attempted to escape, he instructed his followers to abide by the laws, and he was ultimately executed at the demand of respected religious leaders within the Roman empire on claims that Jesus had challenged the Roman emperor's authority (but it was really about the pharisees' envy of Jesus and Jesus's apostasy).
I would be interested to know how, specifically, your youth leader has determined Jesus to have been a refugee. I'd imagine that the justification of such a claim would rest in the distortion of the definition of the term "refugee" to fit into the narrative of a contemporary sociopolitical opinion, and that is the kind of perversion of doctrine which drives young people away from faith every single day.
@@THESLlCK Jesus did not go into gentille areas or other cities looking for freebies and to be taken care of. He went, he preached, he healed, delivered/set free the captives. He didn't take anyone home!
Spherituality omg you can't be serious . I obviously don't agree with him, why are you saying this??
Sonia G yeah no kidding. I don't agree with him.
Bravo sir, Bravo! I really should go check your books.

BRAVO. Respect Mr Klavan. Thank you. Australia
Fantastic. At 26 mins Andrew makes such a key point: That: "all error stems from the 'bad idea that man is matter (ie material stuff)" So key Mr Klavan!
I have a realist concept as my worldview, and as such, to comment that man "is only material", lacks a metaphysical quality that enhances and as well amplifies life's countless pleasures, creativity and dwells as a source for his altruistic behavior, for which we as a race can and should think of as the cause for such great entities like Philosophy, Sociology, most of, if not all of the Humanities. The spiritually that man is endowed with, and as well, abstract thought brought about such thinking that created an opening for Philosophy that leads to everything else and is one of the direct proponents for these kind of qualities.
Thought provoking, intelligent & incredible. A must watch to make sense of what doesn’t make sense in our world today. Thank you Mr. Klavan for your brilliant insight. May the Lord bless and keep you!

A fantastic talk , Thank you . I love the little bits of sanity that still appear from time to time :)
There is always moral madness somewhere and there is always someone who would call it justifiable
This man quotes Gandalf. Respect given. Amazing speech sir!
Thank you Mr Klavan for your boldness for the truth. As a Christian granddaughter of Russian Jews who denied their ethnicity to avoid the possibility of further persecution I applaud your courage and I praise God that you too have found Jesus. The angels shouted with joy when you found the Messiah. May God bless you in the name of His son Jesus the Christ.
Wow. That was an hour very well spent. I’ve come to learn that the greatest gift or talent to espouse to is intelligence. I’ve alway felt these things but I’ve never been able to articulate them so well. To formulate and order my thoughts so that I could better explain my position when I’m inevitably confronted regarding my stance on politics, religion and morality. I’ve always been on the outside of the popular positions on these topics. Now I know I’m not alone on this and that it’s OK if I can’t explain it as well Mr. Klavan. Always enjoy your show and look forward to many more.
Thank you Hillsdale for sharing this presentation of Andrew Klavan. You all are the best.
I am 62. I was baptized at age nine, but had gone agnostic until age 61 when I was baptized again. My dad and stepmother are in their 70s and 80s and were just baptized. It's logic that brought me back. I read somewhere that an atheist also is going on faith and I believe that to be true.
Brilliant articulation of natural truths. TY Mr. Klavan.
Well worth the hour of listening. Keep the faith Bro.

Andrew Klavan is a gem. Funny and with an invaluable message for this country. Keep it up! Some of this is bound to go into the hearts of thinking, good people who have been unwittingly indoctrinated by the left.
