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.
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.
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.
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.
@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’.
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.

@@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.
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!

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! :)
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.

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.

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!
Such a really wise guy! I always watch his show when I can and love his humourous opening monologues. There is so much wisdom in this address it is truly a treasure. Thanks to all.
Thank you for sharing. It is always so refreshing to hear the truth, even if sometimes truth is a hard pill to swallow. I agree man is more than just matter. "In a world gone mad, we cannot be silent." Amen.
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.
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!
Wow!! God Bless and keep you!! All I ever hear is.... there's nothing I can do about it....that drives me crazy!! I know how you feel because my husband says no one wants to hear any of it. But I just can't let it go, whenever the opportunity arises..my mouth always gets the better of me!!!!

Jesus: “ Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a SWORD. 35 For I have come to turn... “a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law..." Mathew10:34-35 Jesus, who wanted to be King of the Jews, said: "But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and KILL them in front of me." (Luke 19:27) (while teaching kids that mass murder is a good idea) Anyone who curses or blasphemes God, should be STONED TO DEATH by the community. (Leviticus 24:14-16) Anyone who dreams or prophesizes anything that is against God, or anyone who tries to turn you from God, is to be PUT TO DEATH. (Deuteronomy 13:5) If anyone, even your own family suggests worshipping another God, KILL them.

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!
"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!!
Andrew I have ALWAYS loved your monologues. However, in my opinion, this is your VERY BEST! Thank you Andrew your intellect is at its best in this presentation at Hillsdale.

“Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.” Douglas Adams
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.
For some reason this video popped up in my feed and I thank God! Excellent speech and Q&A. I am going to check out some more of Andrew Klavan's talks. I live in the UK and am not surprised that the UK publisher of your book wanted to cut out references to the Bible. That is the norm here in this very post-Christian society. Islam is untouchable but Christianity is under sustained attack.
The U.K. has been pretty pagan for some time. Most people would object to having yet another Abrahamic religion imposed on them - but unfortunately for some obscure reason the politically correct left have adopted Islam.
About that long, long lasting fight over abortion which I do not want to get into, unlike a virus or a bacteria which inserts its own DNA into the host body, (hence immunity once attacked by a virus which we have overcome: our DNA was modified accordingly), the embryo's DNA remains completely separate from the mother from conception to birth. That's where I, personally, have a moral difficulty. We're dealing with two very different entities, ultimately meant to go their separate ways. Miscarriage is only the evidence that something was inherently defective with the embryo or the fetus and it was not naturally viable. Hence it could not have gone its separate way. Abortion is an entirely different issue... Then again, it is the way I see it and biology confirms it. It gives me a moral compass to live by... for myself.
God bless you Andrew Klavan. A beautiful, crystal clear stand for truth in a world that has indeed gone mad.

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?
Powerful! Thx for being so courageous.
This speech is legitimately amazing.
The truth, my God, what a great presentation. Thanks Andrew
Truth is: NO God(s) ever existed...
@@BuzzLOLOL Than you don't either!
Absolutely amazing!!!
Brilliant. More Please! Thank you thank you Andrew Klavan.
Great speech and wonderful Q&A session with the very intelligent audience who asked great questions!!
Wow!! One of the best speeches..ever!! .provides so much hope and advice for young and old.
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
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!
We thank you (& God) for your insight, courage & humor. GREAT!
Standing ovation.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Such a really wise guy! I always watch his show when I can and love his humourous opening monologues. There is so much wisdom in this address it is truly a treasure. Thanks to all.
Also many lies...
He is a very articulate, intelligent, wise, and humble man. He is well worth listening to.
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.
A fantastic talk , Thank you . I love the little bits of sanity that still appear from time to time :)
Excellent speech and Q&A. Love me some Andrew!
Oh God please bless this man. More power to you Andrew Klavan. What a great man.
BRAVO. Respect Mr Klavan. Thank you. Australia
Thank you for sharing. It is always so refreshing to hear the truth, even if sometimes truth is a hard pill to swallow. I agree man is more than just matter. "In a world gone mad, we cannot be silent." Amen.
This was a spectacularly good speech! Klavan
Ya
Excellent speech,more people need to hear it
I absolutely love Andrew Klavan. He make a lot of sense without being sardonic
A brilliant speech by a brilliant mind. Andrew Klavan represents integrity and authenticity and has an important story to tell.
A new favourite. Love this guy👏🏾👏🏾
Yes Andrew and the other cigar fun guys make my ironing time an indulgence❤️
Thank you, I really appreciate your honesty. I love your thoughts, and you give me hope.
Bravo sir, Bravo! I really should go check your books.

It shouldn't take a mystery writer to see we are being led down a misleading path, but it does.
Thank you for making this available. Wonderful talk and discussions.
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.
From one old crank to another, Mr Klavan, thank you!
Carol Joy, Right on. Socrates, indeed, said he was a gadfly that keeps flitting around in society. Cheers to old cranks, young cranks and gadflies.
May the LORD of all continue to greatly bless you and protect you and keep your truth flowing especially to our children💓
My Sunday School class is currently reading (book club style) Great Good Thing
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.
Brilliant articulation of natural truths. TY Mr. Klavan.
The best speech of the 21st century. Are you listening? To paraphrase my friend Larry Elder: is this thing on?
Wow!! God Bless and keep you!! All I ever hear is.... there's nothing I can do about it....that drives me crazy!! I know how you feel because my husband says no one wants to hear any of it. But I just can't let it go, whenever the opportunity arises..my mouth always gets the better of me!!!!
Yep... I tell the truth: NO God(s) ever existed...
Great talk May I suggest the fog of insanity you so aptly describe can be traced back to evil? That there is and always been conflict between good and evil, light and dark?
"Everything costs something, and there's no shame in counting the cost. But there is shame in selling something priceless because you're afraid" Andrew Klavan, 2019.
a masterpiece
One of the best videos I've seen all year. Shared it with my kids.
Socrates would be killed today too.
There's not one person on this planet that some religion doesn't want to murder!
@Some Dead White Man - Religious mass murdering / wars happen as long as we still have religions...
@Lore Sogge - Only religions have written orders for their customers to mass murder everyone on the planet!
Evil = religion = greed = psychosis = not sane
@@BuzzLOLOL Would you mind citing some specific, objective, evidence? Surely such a well reasoned position such as yours will prove simple to assert and defend.
@@jacobussmit1453 - 99% of DAILY religious terrorism in the USA is actually Christian Religious Terrorism !!!
Footnoted small sample of Judeo/Christian Religious Terrorism WRITTEN ORDERS direct from the Christian BuyBull (Quran has even more) for Murdering of innocent people:
“Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for WAR, my fingers for BATTLE.” Psalm 144:1.
Jesus: “ Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a SWORD. 35 For I have come to turn...
“a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law..." Mathew10:34-35
Jesus, who wanted to be King of the Jews, said: "But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and KILL them in front of me." (Luke 19:27) (while teaching kids that mass murder is a good idea)
Anyone who curses or blasphemes God, should be STONED TO DEATH by the community. (Leviticus 24:14-16)
Anyone who dreams or prophesizes anything that is against God, or anyone who tries to turn you from God, is to be PUT TO DEATH. (Deuteronomy 13:5)
If anyone, even your own family suggests worshipping another God, KILL them. (Deuteronomy 13:6-10)
If you find out a city worships a different god, destroy the city and KILL ALL of it's inhabitants... even the animals. (Deuteronomy 13:12-15)
KILL anyone with a different religion. (Deuteronomy 17:2-7)
KILL all men, women, children, and, even, babies already of the 20 nations/50 belief systems/religions of the Promised Land when moving into it. (Deuteronomy)
Imaginary Jesus of gospel stories said his followers must obey the Torah/Old Testament (N.T. not invented yet) (Jesus invented ~50 - 150 A.D.)
Thank you Mr. Klavan
Reason brought him to Jesus? wonderful. He's not alone.
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!!
DEATH TO DO-GOODERS.
mlu ccc me toooooo! Of course now I don’t do everything from logic, but it certainly is there
Andrew I have ALWAYS loved your monologues. However, in my opinion, this is your VERY BEST! Thank you Andrew your intellect is at its best in this presentation at Hillsdale.
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. 🙏
Uss liberty
THANKS TO YOU & THE TRUTH!
I am absolutely blown away by your eloquence and wisdom!
Good on you!

Price of Freedom: Constant alertness and a willingness to fight back- there is no other price.
This is the best speech I have ever heard. I am so grateful to have discovered this man. Every word he speaks is valid and precious.
"The evil stop at 12 corpses except when possessed by ideology" This man is a brilliant orator.
I just seen this in my feed tonight. I love listening to him. He's a good guy. Has lots of sense. And he's funny.
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.
Brilliant ! The man for our time. Thank you!
Klavan is like that grandfather we always wished we had
Wow! This is so much more than a simple speech. Amazing

DoubleUpOnBob no. Truth teller.
For some reason this video popped up in my feed and I thank God! Excellent speech and Q&A. I am going to check out some more of Andrew Klavan's talks. I live in the UK and am not surprised that the UK publisher of your book wanted to cut out references to the Bible. That is the norm here in this very post-Christian society. Islam is untouchable but Christianity is under sustained attack.
The religion industry paid to have this video pop up in your feed...
@ - religion = insanity...
The U.K. has been pretty pagan for some time. Most people would object to having yet another Abrahamic religion imposed on them - but unfortunately for some obscure reason the politically correct left have adopted Islam.
@@fainitesbarley2245 - Yeah, we need to continue to become more normal people with all religions/addictions disappearing...
About that long, long lasting fight over abortion which I do not want to get into, unlike a virus or a bacteria which inserts its own DNA into the host body, (hence immunity once attacked by a virus which we have overcome: our DNA was modified accordingly), the embryo's DNA remains completely separate from the mother from conception to birth. That's where I, personally, have a moral difficulty. We're dealing with two very different entities, ultimately meant to go their separate ways. Miscarriage is only the evidence that something was inherently defective with the embryo or the fetus and it was not naturally viable. Hence it could not have gone its separate way. Abortion is an entirely different issue... Then again, it is the way I see it and biology confirms it. It gives me a moral compass to live by... for myself.
We get the pamphlet in the mail and...the lecture articles in them are Always clear and very understandable, and very reasonable and rational.
Well spoken and pure SWEET TRUTH.;-)
Andrew Klavan is one of my favorite people.
