One of the great storytellers of our recent memory. RIP Charles Krauthammer.
God bless Charles Krauthammer. Thank you for your brilliance and integrity.
Just had to say again, although I have commented before, you really mattered and are dearly missed. Oh how we need your debate and swift remarks on the happenings of today.
You are so right Baba Susie. He really mattered and had a prophets soul. Very dearly missed and very informative as well as realistic and genuine.
@@bethaniea.123 Would love to have his opinion on the happenings of the USA.
I adore a man with brilliant words, lovingly delivered with masculine acuity.A man who tempers his elevated intelligence with a sense of humor .Giving the raptured listener a soft ground upon which to rest and absorb ..his generous mind.
Great person, great story, great discussion. Worth every second of my time. Thank you!
Just bought the paperback edition. Looking forward to reading this epic book from one of the BEST original thinkers of our time. Blessed with keen insight and academic finesse, Charles places his world view in the only logical place to go - conservativism.

RIP Charles.. you are missed
Wish you were still here.
I love this guy. Always look for his stuff online. Glad we can find him here.
0:00 Introduction
2:30 Dr. Krauthammer's speech
27:05 Q&A
GREAT STUFF!!! He should run for President
> (5:02) 3 distinct decades
:
80s: Reagen Revolution, Culmination of the Cold War
90s: Holiday from History
(a kind of golden age)
2000s: The Age of Holy Terror
(current) 2008-?: Barrack Obama, Rise of Liberalism
> (9:04) Historically golden ages are short
> (15:03) On "you didn't build that", it is true that no person is an island. However, the type of collectivity that matters is not from the state but from civil society. ex: family, neighborhood, church, PTA, book store.
(16:14) It's the voluntary associations talked about by Tocqueville that is the genius of America and the source of its energy and liberty.
Brilliant man. We need you more than ever.
"Thank you for elevating the political debate."
Above from a question late in Q&A captures Charles well. One of the most insightful political commentators I know, and maintains civility despite some with whom he interfaces.
I'm NOT trying to be insensitive... I had no IDEA he could move his arms. That surprised me
The End he was paraplegic; paralyzed below the waist
To Crimsonphilosophy (below)... he didn't sidestep her question about race at all. He answered honestly that he didn't think it was a factor and gave clear, fact based examples as to why. We forget that Whitey Clinton was personally attacked for Lewinsky, etc far worse than Obama has been on real, substantive issues. Being concerned about $7 trillion in additional debt is not racist. It's a natural, angry reaction to irresponsibility.
What Krauthammer should have done is turned the question around on her and asked her to provide examples of overt racism at Tea Party events. To that point, I remember MSNBC tried to prove there were gun toting racists at a Tea Party demonstration by focusing in on the replica of a semi automatic gun that a man was carrying. Unfortunately for them, a citizen had also videoed the gun, and when the vid was panned out it showed the man was black. They were caught with their pants down, which meant they really couldn't find anyone who fit their ideological stereotype so they had to manufacture an image - ironically, using a person the racism was supposed to be directed against. Can't help but laugh at these buffoons.
Everyone is trying to be an intellectual in the comment section hahahaha. Great video though, I enjoyed it immensely.
it's a shame medical school today is lite compared to Charles day and era they put out smarter students that saved lives vs taking them
Darrell Johnson I agree.
Wishing you a fast recovery , Charles ! We miss you so much !
Great book. I respect the man.
He wanted to get politics RIGHT (tilted to the right), that is why he entered political discussion to turn liberal politics to trickle down politics in Reagan era. He avoids completely the structural issue of the corporate masters buying/hijacking government to shift over 90% of corporate taxes to individuals, then destroying all resistance to corporations (from labor or anyone else). He is blind to the abuse of power by corporate masters to siphon wealth to themselves at the expense of the 99%. As a result, a few have gotten richer beyond their wildest dreams while the majority have gotten poorer.
He is blinded also to the fact that capitalism has been hijacked as well by oligarchs. Instead of the market determining production/distribution/consumption, now the government determines most of corporate outcomes as corporate masters want them. We have neither true capitalism nor a democracy of one person one vote (as voters are being purged, bought or gerrymandered)....
RESPECT.....
The Hammer is great!
Why, oh WHY, did this man have to die so soon? We lost him just when we needed him most. Curse you, cancer!
I too am a Borges fan!
All politicians lie - George Carlin
And clowns tell the truth, for the amusement of the tyrants they insult to their faces.
Mr. Graham, could you please tell me the author's name that Mr. K. said he liked. It began with a "P". I thought I had it but did not; the sound was very bad on my PC all speakers at 100%. I know this was awhile ago but this video is new to me. Loved hearing him and thank you for doing this film.
Awesome
I
sounds good......

By criticizing an author of merit and education is not only an absurdity and also disallows for a person to make an argumentative case. For arguments are where a person uses facts and or statements that can justify their position. When a person uses Ad Hominem as you have done creates a problem of false syllogism.
This is paranoid.
"I don't know if that story is true or not; I don't care. It's as they say in the column-writing business, the story was 'too good to check'."
Thank you for being honest, Charles. This sums you and Fox News up entirely.
Way to take that one out of context; is that the best you can do?
Dear Poop- make your point
I think Morning Joe has gone so far Left it's about to go off a cliff. Very disappointed.
Living at the expense of others works when the others are turned to slaves.
Krauthammer, that turkey.

....annnd Gene baby deletes his comment! I WIN!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!!
best part is I know he's reading this and he is going to be pissed off for days! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! your face looks stupid LOL
when i was 16 i was living with my brother and his wife,shortly after my brother went to work one morning shortly after 4am my sister came running through the house saying there was a fire,i slept on a hideabed couch in the living room,i told her to get out and ill get the kids,my nephew and niece ,he was about 4 and she was1,i had to wrap myself in a blanket and jump through flames to get to their room because of the narrow hallway and the fire was spreading fast,i had to make 2 trips,,i was in my pajamas and also had no shoes,my brother and his wife and family lost everything,but everyone was safe,the fire dept said because it was a trailer house and the furnace which caught fire wich was just on the other side of tha wall as the crib my niece was in and the same room as her brother would and did go uo in flames only a few minutes after i got the kids out,i saved them, i saved their lives ,im 44 now,those kids are all grown up and dont even remember,my brothers passed away and his wife is happily remarried,that was a long time ago,and it was important just like the story mr krauthammer wrote ,probably more important,so why the f' is this guy still relevant.end of story!!!!!!
I like him, but I felt he side stepped that woman's question about the Tea Party and race.
No, it was a ridiculous question. The Tea Party had nothing to do about race. It was about fiscal responsibility. If he had time he could have said the MSM and the Left would like you to believe it is about race so that the Tea Party will be destroyed.
I hate long introductions.
Neo-con.
Attempt to grow a brain in the future.
***** You are? I wish you luck with that.
Neo hetero.
Good luck with that, Steve.
Pauly Girl I got your original posting. It seems that you know nothing of human anatomy. Don't worry, I don't blame you so much as the education "system."
Liberalism is truly a mental disorder....
What a Dueschbag
jeffhaer You Show HOW "SMART YOU ARE" ! Is That The BEST YOU CAN DO! ARE YOU A "LIBERAL"?
I wouldn't wipe my ass with the pages of Charles Krauthammer's book
Gene- your face looks stupid. HA! Game, set and match!
***** I wouldn't wipe my ass with your face
Gene Hensley four replies gene? Wow I must have really hit a nerve. I guess your having a stupid looking face is a real sore spot for you! lololol Also you sound homophobic, genie, and are probably a racist to boot. BTW which of your many accounts are you going to use to reply? HAHAHAHA!
Next time before you say someone looks stupid look in the mirror I bet if we were standing in the eye I bet you wouldn't say a word you probably get your nose broke I'm sure at 2 a.m. In the morning on New Years you were intoxicated and thought you'd run your mouth you picked the wrong guy
Gene Hensley My avi is of moe greene you illiterate inbred, internet tough-guy hahaha you're as stupid as you look!
**He sounds very much like a conspiracy theorist who has this weird obsession with this dark apocalyptic vision without any basis.** He's been blabbing for straight 1 hour without any substance. Geez. How can you endure this?
