- Andrew Klavan breaks down the societal ills that are killing Western civilization as we know it… and it’s a lot.
--
Andrew Klavan is an internationally renowned and award-winning author and screenwriter. In addition to writing films for Clint Eastwood, penning the acclaimed True Crime novel series, and winning dozens of literature awards from around the world, Klavan also writes thrillers for young adults. Andrew Klavan is the host of "The Andrew Klavan Show" on the Daily Wire.
Really an incredible speech. Klavan cuts through the fog of cultural complexity with literal truth and beauty. It’s such an uncommon gift.
Klavanon is truth. Levity aside, this is truly a great thinker, author, pundit, and a steadfast source of wisdom. Thank you YAF and Andrew Klavan for this much needed speech. May misfortune come to those who forget "There are no Es in Klavan."
🇺🇸
He’s so funny and so insightful, so much talent in one person.
Andrew Klavan is one of the voices of truth who is saying what we all know to be true with courage and a dash of humor. His joyfulness in spite of the surrounding mess is testimony to his life-changing faith. May God bless you Andrew and give you many more years of speaking truth.
Stating uncomfortable truths with a buffer of humour Klavan IS an artist.
Facts
Incredible speech Mister Klavan!! Incredibly true!
God bless you Andrew!!!!
Terrific speech. And a scathing indictment of us all, that ought to make us all squirm. Klavan nails it, as usual.
Andrew Klavan is a literary giant. Thank you for sharing this very timely speech!
"For the illustration of righteousness men will follow the devil into hell"
I haven't heard it said better in a long time.
Artifical wombs.. as a mother myself this thought is through and through terrifying
Brave New World.
AS A WISE MAN ONCE SAID (THAT WORDS WILL BE UTTERED IN THE FUTURE) ABOUT THIS SPEAKER ❤❤❤❤
Wonderful speech! Thank you.
This was absolutely brilliant. I love Klavan’s (with a K) ability to clarify astoundingly complex concepts. He answers profoundly and compassionately the questions I find rambling around chaotically in my own mind. I have questions, frustration and passion and I work myself up into a ball of confusion and anxiety - and then I listen to Klavan and the puzzle pieces seem to come together and I feel calmer and even resolute, as though I serve a purpose and I am capable of doing the work to achieve it. It is so refreshing to hear harsh truths spoken with humor and encouragement.
Terrible ideas are kept actively alive by ruthless censorship.
Like universal evil, bad ideas prove that there is indeed universal Good and good ideas... the expression of free speech allows us to reach those good ideas sooner and with less collateral damage in the trial and error that we will, despite the censorship, eventually get to. Stay healthy and prepared.
@@docequis9796 yup everybody get vaccinated blow your nose and wash your hands
And bad teachers.
I wish it was so easy. That's only a small part of the truth. Much bigger part is, Nature really hates empty spaces. The void left by the departure of Christianity HAS TO BE filled with something, anything. People simply can't live without something that orients them in the world just like a computer can't be started without the operating system.
And when I say Christianity, I don't mean New Age or Critical Race Theory masquerading as "Christianity".
I was a dissident in Soviet Union, but also a member of a small Christian congregation, about 300 people. We were all dissidents today we would be called political activists, anti-Communists, we were homeless, we didn't have a place to gather and worship, and constantly under threat of persecution.
I can tell you I have never ever felt closer to God than back then. I didn't know it back then but that period of my life I was truly living the early Christianity. I have met God face to face only once in my life (which is more than vast majority of people can say), and this also happened at that time, in 1989. Terrifying experience, but also truly magnificent. I have no idea if this happened because we lived like early Christians or because God simply needed a job done for His master plan.
Bingo!
Thank you for your candor and also, for standing against antisemitism. This is something every good Christian should naturally want to do. Bless you for demonstrating your decency, courage, and humanity. Thank you as well for standing against the current endeavor to erase women and the two genders. The world is embracing destruction and madness.
That was actually a great point about starting with the principles. Probably takes a little practice to gain the skill to keep the conversation in the area where it has at least a minor chance of success, or not degenerating
What a brilliant man he’s so intelligent
I'll be 30 in a few months. I'm less excited about watching the super bowl now than I was as a kid cause living more years has meant that I've seen more super bowls. The same experience applies to watching a great movie, or reading a great book, or getting through an election cycle which is supposedly "Particularly important" The more you've lived the harder it is to feel blown away by the newest iteration of something. I can only imagine what it'll be like once I get to Klavan's age. I could be wrong cause I don't know him personally, but I really get the sense that when he talks current events, and the latest news his heart isn't in it as much as when he's talking about the bigger picture. Stuff that's more broad and timeless.
I turned 40 a few months ago, and reading more books has not watered down the experience at all. Each book gives me more than the last, and gets me looking forward even more to the next one. What really did it for me is reading less fiction and more nonfiction. I now read history books almost exclusively. You just need to find the activity that excites you for reasons other than enjoyment in the moment. What enriches your life? That's the sort of activity that never gets watered down no matter how much of it you do.
@@reliantncc1864Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that while I don't necessarily find movies or books less enjoyable as I age, it's harder for them to impressive me, if that distinction makes any sense. Finding something pleasurable, and being impressed by it are not necessarily one and the same, but one can impact the other in my opinion. The admiration of greatness is part of the enjoyment.
@@zackwalker1721 I guess I don't share that view. Each new book draws me in for its own reasons, not dependent on other books I've read before. The best history book I've ever read was The Rise and Fall of the 3rd Reich, in terms of writing skill, sourcing, and logical conclusions, not to mention the impact of the subject matter. Currently I'm reading books that are inferior in objective and subjective terms, but I still find them very impressive and I feel no less drawn to them. If you're curious, the books in question are a three-volume history/biography of Joseph Stalin and a history of the Stasi.
I stick to my belief that something that enriches you will never get old or watered down. You just have to find the right thing for you.
I'm not trying to argue with you. I understand what you mean. I do want to point out that my love for history only hit its stride in the last few years. I already had an interest in history, but it's really gone into overdrive fairly recently. I hope you find something that hits you the same way.
I think you're experiencing a deficit of meaning or purpose.
The quickest way to unhappiness is to compare your life with others. With social media capacity to do that skyrockets. No wonder today's youth is unhappy. The fact that they're encourage to follow false ideals continually adds fuel to the fire.
When good people lie. They put the power of truth to evil people. Andrew! Wow!
Very few people have a way with words like Andrew.
After hearing this randomly on a monday, I now understanded the KLAVENLESS fathom without him.
It was a refreshing drop of spirit in an unquenched mouth.
Very good speech. Love it and will share it.
What would be called a meem today back when I was going up was: "The answer to every question is Jesus."
I love Andrew. Amazing man ❤
Absolutely beautiful. I'm in awe of this speech.
Andrew is a personal hero of mine. I do love this man's faith and the truth he speaks. Embrace Christ and speak Christ always
Great speech filled with truth.
Eloquent. Excellent.🩵👌🙏
Amazing speech, could listen to him all day, gifted speaker who is very articulate and thought provoking
Spot on Andrew..! Thoughtful observations, assessment, discernment, root causes, solutions to madness taking new twists on old theme in America and world..!
Never giving up hope, praying, standing firm, speaking out from every day conversations to Presidential elections..!
Sharing far and wide..! Q & A spot on too..!
Thank you for shining light on The Way..! Prayers and Blessings 🙏🙌❤️
The very people who SHOULD see this...Won't. :-(
I think you've nailed a basic paradox for twenty-first century political action. Well done. Perhaps we can call it the paradox of communication.

Amazing speech. Truth.
What a great speech.
Andrew speaks from the heart and in 30 minutes condenses a lifetime of wisdom. This speech makes me sad, but that's because it tells the truth about our sad falling world.
Those are the oldest audience members and a "Young America's" conference
Thank you Andrew.
So so good. Classic Klavan - wise yet relatable, insightful yet simple. Smart and witty and deep. I LOVE Andrew Klavan !
I don't blame Klavan for missing this but his line about Dostoevsky reminded me of a man who predicted this a century before - Heinrich Heine. Go to his Wikipedia page and read the passage from "The History of Religion and Philosophy in Germany" and be forewarned you will have chills when you realize how long before the rise of the Third Reich that was written.
Thanks for pointing that out. I note that he was a cousin and friend of Karl Marx and shared his communist sentiments (although not his strategic preferences). I do agree that the loss of a Christian national character is dangerous, not just in Germany but in any country.
@@reliantncc1864 yes I discovered Heine via a lecture by David Berlinski. Although not a Christian, he firmly believes in the utility (to put it bluntly) of a Judeo-Christian foundation for any successful society.
@@adamsmith-wi3qg Hm, that might be going a little too far for me. Many successful societies have existed without a Judeo-Christian foundations. The problem is that our Western societies were built on such a foundation and cannot survive its removal. If a society is built on a different foundation, it doesn't require Judeo-Christian values, but does require the foundation it was built on, whatever that may be. The most obvious example (which I bring up because it's simple to argue) is the Roman Republic/Empire. It was built on a foundation of putting one's country ahead of oneself and attaining glory through service to the country. The Roman Empire fell because it lost its foundation even though that foundation was not Judeo-Christian.
@@reliantncc1864 I guess it depends on your definition of successful. Berlinski has written about Saint Augustine's City of God regarding the collapse of the Roman Empire. I'd argue America and Great Britain were more successful, albeit shorter lived (thus far). In any case, I agree that losing sight of your foundational identity is definitely going to lead to collapse eventually.
@@adamsmith-wi3qg I can't accept any definition of successful that doesn't include the Romans. They were dominant in a way that no one else was in those days. I can accept arguments that Great Britain and America were even more successful, perhaps. They certainly had more competition than the Romans. Great Britain had to contend with France for centuries, while America had the Soviet Union for most of our period of dominance (as you said, thus far). Rome had no serious competition for over half its existence as a superpower. I don't think any other country has that kind of track record for so long. Maybe ancient Egypt.
Andrew, thank you for your affirmation of mothers and motherhood. There's nothing wrong with being barefoot and pregnant for awhile! Life is a long time and that is just one short phase of it for women lucky enough to experience it. ♥️
I love Klavan so much!❤
He may be a converted Christian, but he’s DEFINITELY a Jew with his humour 😂😂😂👏 1:42
Andrew Klavan is too good for the daily wire.
Every other personality on the DW has AT LEAST 3 times as many subscribers on CZcams as Klavan does. Am I saying that just because his content is niche by comparison that that makes it worse content? Not neccessarily. I'm just saying that when Klavan associates with all these creators who are more active, and have larger audiences it does a lot to help uplift Klavan's work and stop him from fading. If you like Klavan's career as a public thinker, and want to see it go well, you should be very happy he's with DW
@@zackwalker1721 I am happy for him to be doing so well with the daily wire. I would assume the other creators on dw get so many more subscribers and views is because it's so surface level. Lack of depth makes for better click bait and shorts.
@@ayedee2036 Probably one of the main reasons is that he hosts a weekly show rather than a daily show. The reason for this according to Klavan himself, is that he just didn't have enough to say to justify a daily show.
It's harder to grow a show when you're putting out less content, and your viewers aren't going to be as dedicated when tuning in is less of a regular habit. He's going to make less of a dent if he's less dedicated to creating content. That's to be expected, but it's also fortunate that he's got DW backing him because then that dent might be even smaller. People see him on a backstage and go "Oh yeah. That's right. His show exists. I almost forgot"
@@zackwalker1721 quality over quantity I suppose🤷♀️
To be fair, I'm not anti daily wire. They have done some good things for sure. I guess I'm just tired of living in a world where buzz words and catch phrases are the only thing that can keep the majority of people's attention. Ben Shapiro has also had some pretty bad takes over the last couple of years as well.
@@ayedee2036 I don't think it has to be a problem that Klavan's show hasn't grown as much. If one believes in what the Daily Wire is doing then it's good to see the operation grow overall, because you want their work to amount to something, but Klavan's show being niche by comparison is actually a nice change of pace. Smaller audience makes it feel a little more relaxed and "cozy" for lack of a better term
But if the people behind Klavan's show did want to grow it as much as possible, I think that 5 to 10 minutes should be plenty of time for him to make a substantive point that could be made into an easily digestible clip do we not agree?
Great speech. I'm going to steal it
I was a dissident in Soviet Union and also a member of a small Christian congregation, about 300 people. We were all dissidents --today we would be called political activists. We were homeless as a congregation, we didn't have a place to gather and worship and constantly under threat of persecution. I was expelled from University, narrowly escaped one KGB raid and was interrogated twice.
I've never felt closer to God than those times, it was like living in a dream. I didn't realize this back then but I was truly living the early Christianity. I have met God face to face only once in my life (which is more than vast majority of people can say) and this also happened during that time, in 1989. Terrifying experience, but also magnificent -- both at the same time. I have no idea if this happened because we lived like early Christians or because God simply needed a job done.
Remarkable story. Thank you so much for sharing it -- and for daring to dissent.
@@dianawigod3223 Thank you, sincerely. But, I have to say without false modesty that most likely it wasn't so much what we did. I think it was simply one of those crucial turning points in history where the master plan was not allowed to fail. It is said He can make soldiers from stones. I think we were those stones.
Or maybe that's how it always works, I have no idea...
I yoinked Klavans decent pair of socks joke and was able to use it on Thanksgiving. It got laughs out of my brothers and a satisfying eye roll from my sister in law.
thank you for sharing
Incredible speech! I need a transcript and translation to share among my friends..
Symptoms of endemic mental illnesses. Particularly the free lunch syndrome.
Bravo Andrew Klavan!!
i’m 6 minutes in and i’m floored by the wisdom
One for posterity! ❤
Beautiful and truthful speech.
This Bible verse is for the Gavin Newsomes of this world.
Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression, (Isaiah 10:1, ESV)
Glad I came across this post.
God is not rude he's not going to force you to have a relationship with him. And he's not going to share secrets with you if he can't trust you. But I realize every single one of us have a choice and I'm telling you right now not one of us are going to get out of this ALIVE. This is not my destination I'm just passing through.
Klavan is so wise and funny. I haven't found any of his novels in Sweden though.
Won't please someone look after the children!?. I thought this scene from The Simpsons was a meme. I found it thoughtful now.
I am still consider a youngster to hate someone. I refuse to be hateful to anyone. This is why I don't agree with sjws, rebellious people, and people with political differences alike. I am not an political idealist. I am only a part of the First Amendment, a volunteer and cooperative person, and stick to basic rights.
I find this very true. The youth have been and are always apolitical and apathetic to politics. There is a reason why parents are shielding children from the harsh realities of the world. I agree there. Freedom of speeches for the youth, can also do more bad than good. Limits are sometimes needed. It depends which party wins. Either the liberal side or the conservative side. I have no hate against the government, left and right parties alike. I am smart, but not a gifted prodigy. I am rather be choosing The First Amendment. Me, and many young people. I am considered a part of Basic Rights. I am politically apathetic and apolitical as a whole. I'm not selfish, arrogant, or obsessed with judging others viewpoints. I am only a volunteer, and cooperative person. I view things as rose tinted, childish escapism, and simple minded opinions. That's how I view the world through my eyes.
For me, I was raised healthy with a loving family tree. My parents may be at times restrictive, yet they care and pamper me. I'm still just like a kid, a child. I was never hardcore in my ideals. I have always been simple minded in my beliefs. I was never the smartest one, wasn't the strongest, or the most professional person. I just have some flaws. I am not a soilder, not a judge, not a left or right idealist, and a definitely not a minority. I consider myself, a volunteer and cooperative person. Something a child could have with their parents and family alike. I am the more naive, playful, babyish, childlike, crybaby, curious, fun, happy, pampered baby child, and passionate one. I'm more like the kid brother. More as in, the kid sibling archetype. The classic good natured child vibe from the post baby boomer era. Even though I'm a post millennial. I am the oldest of the four children of my family. I am a snowflake. A post millennial. The good nature child of the baby boomer era. My parents, are from the post 1960's era. I feel like a post baby boomer. It's in my blood, heart, and memories of my ancestors.
Also, God bless YAF!
Been way ahead of you for 47 years, Andrew. I've been wearing Christ on my shirt for 47 years.
Klavaning in the finest way.
Excellent topic for the youth today. So many deny the promised blessing of GOD to our Premier Mother Eve: "thy desire shall be to thy husband." But in every woman's heart of hearts, this is inherent in the soul...even to to marrow. For any man to not earn that desire, or any woman who turns her back on that desire and the maternal instinct to have children to pass on her life to another generation, their judgment has run amuck and robs from life a great source of peace, especially when one is on their deathbed with a loving spouse and children at their side. This is what GOD ordained to soften the blow of one's departure until "the resurrection of the just."
Man I love me some Klavan!
2Corinthians 13:5
Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves.
Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?
-unless indeed you fail to meet the test!
I'm a Christian, but in most cases when anyone brings up God as one of their points, even I see it is not a debate tool (also, because when it isn't linked to a specific solution or linked to its usefulness in different areas of family, country, individual (and yes, not all elements are useful/helpful and can be corruptible)). I do have to say, that when he said "Jesus is the light that shines on our shame, and they are looking to put that light out", It really doesn't even need to be about religion. Shame is a symptom to a root cause, it is a reaction. It doesn't mean to stop what you are doing if you feel shame, it means you should take pause, self-analyze, and tread slowly and lightly if you are moving forward through it. Removing shame is like removing the pain receptors in your body, you might not hurt yourself, but damn the risk is high.
Instant gratification, the easy button, and taking advantage of others become a lot more tempting when you're the only one in front of yourself to stop you. . And guess what, most of us don't know what we need and we don't know what the best decision is for ourselves. We should all use each other as check-ins and devil's advocates rather than echo chambers.
Hello, please, does anyone know of a website program that allows you to watch the video with subtitles?
Preach on brother man :)
Klavan is the best in the world
The problem with re-embracing fat-shaming or slut-shaming is that the track record is troubling, if not abysmal. Reference the Bible and Jesus asking the stone-throwers SO offended by an adulterer. Christ called out the mob by simply saying, "He who is sin-less throw the first stone." They all left. Andrew probably knows this, or should. Simple to focus on fat or sexual behavior ( even if different, but moral ). Much, much more difficult to walk humbly and not as a hypocrite. In fact, committing that error makes us stone-throwers all over again. We humans in our original sin are terrible at justice, rather, mob justice.
There’s a big difference between saying don’t be a hypocrite, and then saying because I don’t want to be a hypocrite, I will never call out anything or say that any kind of behavior is wrong. Even if we fail to uphold the standard, that doesn’t mean we discard the standard.
After the men had left Jesus turned to the woman and asked “does no one condemn you?… Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”
I’m your example there was no question whether the woman was a prostitution. Klavan is making an appeal to truth not judgement.
I think we have it all wrong. Dostoyevsky, Nietzsche, Shakespeare (Hamlet), Etc. They thought that the nature of man was what was manifested in their words/actions.
But I think that culture is what makes a human act in a certain way. That's why people from different cultures have different worldviews, morals and way of life. So by Shakespeare being famous and his work being injected into the culture, he inevitable made this prophecy a reality because his art's philosophical concepts made it into the culture. Just like Marx's work is still in the back of the minds of every intellectual working on social justice, "progress", etc. It's ultimately inevitable. This is also what makes "God" kinda real in a Jordan Peterson-esque way, because that belief held by many inevitably shape the society in which we live in.
So God is real in the sense that the generational belief in god and it's baggage are a part of the dominant culture. Culture shaping society.
Looking at the culture being produced today, I don't even question why every major city is overwhelmed by homelessness, addiction and violence. This is the type of people the current culture created. Religion did one thing right: Gave people a purpose greater than themselves to thrive for alongside every other human living near them.
Creating Unity around the religious narrative allowed for the maximization of productivity/innovation/technological advancement/etc. which was only enabled through trust in society based on that collective belief.
Human nature is not what we think it is, it's much simpler. It's just a desire for reproduction and survival as that instinct is the only reason that our species survived for so long and were able to improve our quality of life. By cooperating to increase security, productivity and knowledge/tech. Passing it down generationally and improving on what is known to further increase quality of life, Defend against invaders/predators/nature and guiding them to the best way of life to achieve their natural instinct of reproduction and survival.
Along the way we became intellectualized, conceptualizing ideal ways society ought to be. This is where we all went wrong. Because we replaced our basic instincts with unnatural social conflicts with other people who don't agree with our ideal way society ought to be. This has been the cause of most wars and atrocities in the known history of all human civilizations.
This indicates to me what human nature really is, psychologically and functionally. Our survival instinct is directly linked to cooperation. That means a certain degree of conformity. That conformity is what makes people want to be like those around them (adaptive survival mechanism). Our ability to adapt, not only to the physical environment, but also the socially environment is what allowed for our species to survive and become masters of the planet. Being able to exploit resources optimally, increasing productivity, innovate technologically and constantly improve our quality of life.
However, over time as we became too rich and too safe. Our basic instincts went ignored. But that instinct is not just gone and it's a part of the human experience, you can't just get rid of it. This is why I think people always need an "enemy". To satisfy that instinct psychologically. (More war causes). That's why we are now all becoming mentally ill. Those at the edges of society, physically, psychologically, etc. are all struggling to find "purpose" in their lives. Religion used to hold that place and would guide these damned souls to salvation. But without God (I'm an atheist and so is most of the west) these people end up becoming addicts, homeless, incarcerated, etc. Because their human instincts need them to have that enemy, that purpose in life. Something they would die for. Something greater than themselves. With the death of God (Secularization), this was inevitable.
The society we constructed with the dominant culture being religious in the past, is no longer adhering to the religious practices/way of life of the past. Therefore, whatever human nature is, with the current state of affairs, is a real struggle for those at the bottom of the social hierarchies. Which also explains the woke movement being filled with virtue signaling ideologues. They are just using their survival instincts to improve their standing in the established social hierarchy. Much like we used tech and knowledge to improve it, once we live in an overabundant society, the only other natural enemy is not physical it is societal.
With nothing to fear of other human tribes, the environment, etc. The only struggle is withing the newly conceptualized reality of these people: Society. So Everyone is trying to climb that social ladder. In the past, you would do that through wealth, through power/influence. But today, with a society that requires neither wealth or power to survive, the next currency is your position in society (Also where caste systems/nobility come from). Being an outcast = death. So that survival mechanism makes people conform to the society to the extent that they feel safe within it. This also explains cancel culture as the natural human instinct to divergence from the group is to remove that person from the society (jail, death or exile). Unity allows for survival. That's why people who are different are naturally seen as enemies (This also explains racism).
What we should do is sorta like Klavan says. Create need a "new religion" which encompasses the best way to live for society to thrive. This should encompass obvious human necessities in the modern world such as the facilitation of reproduction (Hungarian system is a great incentive) and education of future generations, security (laws, enforcement, justice), freedom (speech, thought and association) and Responsibility (Pursuit of truth, respect, integrity, stewardship, courage and leadership). Also including other relevant and important philosophies.
Thoughts?
Human behaviour is a result of the interaction of human nature and human culture. But there is something it is like to be a human being that exists prior to the influence of culture: our biology, including our instincts and potential for feelings. Because we are innately rational self-awarenesses, too, this also means we recognise basic rational truths, such as that unnecessary pain and suffering is bad. This together plausibly leads to the formulation of morals. But how can good conquer evil? If Jesus is God we don't need a new religion, we need active Christianity; and if Jesus is not God there is ultimately no hope for humanity, only temporary bandages for ever-emerging problems, until humanity becomes extinct. It's a good job the evidence for the resurrection is so good, then (the witnesses to it would never lie about it under persecution). Believe in Jesus. You'll be glad you did.
That's some of my thoughts. More are available.
Most in the West are not atheists. I don't know where you get that idea. You obviously are.
An excellent speech although I don't agree with all of it...but the best part for me at least was that we need to wear the gospel of Christ daily and reach people with ideas, not politicians or people.
‘People hate Jews because they hate God. That’s the only reasonable explanation.’
Mic drop.
Bingo. Why do Muslims shout about Allah when they kill? It's because their god is death. They worship death. Our God (I am a Christian, but my God is the same God of the Jews) is life. Of course they have to hate Him.
Foolishness. People who are protesting Israelis genocide against the Palestinians do not hate Jews. Nor do they hate God. A stronger case could be made that people endorsing the bombing of children hate God.
The constitution is necessary as a framework for our govt &itschecks & balances our bill of rights& the Ten Commandments are our path!

Thank you for exposing Andrew Tate!
Thanks for the advice! My wife and I are expecting another child in June! I really hope it's a boy, so I don't end up with a daughter named Andrew.
Who is the person that Andrew mentioned, who has become a Christian recently and whose conversion he was so pleased about?. I just cannot make out the name, even though I have tried replaying that section several times. Does anyone know please?
@patriciahorgan2584. Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Ayaan Hirsi Ali is the person Klavan was touting…
Klavans ppl running this madness
What should we do? Have faith. His knows what is going on. Ask him what we should do, and do it. For me, I will teach people how to grow their own food. Some of the benefits, you learn the law of the harvest, and having a garden gives you a place to ponder and pray. Put on the whole farmer of God.
I promise you, we have not landed. The street is at least 40 more floors below. You have no idea.
I miss Klavan v Whittle.
King Solomon of Israel said that to live, as much as possible, the way God has told us to live, will mostly bring joy and contentment to our lives. Test me on this.
I believe these are the end of times
So true, we need to return to being a nation that believes in God, because if God doesn't exist then everything the Left is pushing for is true.
Change laws men done
I do not care for Andrew Tate. He is full of himself and speaks as if he has authority from a god. I saw a video of him go up to a man and his girlfriend and whisper to her and she left with him and his body guards stood between the young man and Tate. I am sure she was not worth the man's time but he did something no man should do to another man. He uses women and the problem is that they do not have enough respect for themselves to tell him no.

1 Timothy 3 tells us what JESUS holds as a standard for leadership. Voting is part of our Christian Witness. ✝️ If we don't care our leaders won't care either

Dear YAF, I know the people in the front row tables are probably some pretty beloved donors. But I see maybe one person in frame whos actually young. Maybe I am being too literal with the name. IDK . Get some brats up there. Right now instead of young Americans, its all people who remember when America was young. Love what you do. Best regards.

Klavan was right until he talked about the reformation. As Doug Wilson says, “a straight line can be traced from Free Grace, to free man, to free markets”. The reformation gave us America, and Western Europe. Wherever the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox remained, there remained poverty. Where reformed theology spread, prosperity spread. From there, I think his speech went downhill and he is wrong. Including Klavan acknowledging original sin in the beginning of his speech while embracing the “myth of neutrality”. And thinking that there is no theocracy. It’s not whether but which. We live in a theocracy now. It’s an atheistic theocracy with its own blasphemy laws. Protestant Christian Nationalism doesn’t advocate a state church. It’s advocates separation of state and church but not of Christ and state.
Human history is the long, terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy”-C.S. Lewis.
Christians need to teach the morals found in the Bible to nonChristians first before they will be convinced that abortion is wrong.
No we don't all want to do something evil. I have never been that way. "Happy are the pure in heart since they will see God." The Bible.
There is no such thing as a "tyranny of bad ideas". Every idea is open to scrutiny. I would be wary of anyone talking about statements or declarations as being tyrannical or threatening the future. Feel free to disagree, but enough of forums full of speakers warning about doom and gloom if you don't think as the sponsors do. Someone who refers to themselves as an "artist" should know as much. Also, consider what resources will be needed around 2050, when global population is at 10 billion or more.
