Cultural commentary in a style remniscient of Dave Barry. There's only one thing better than Klavan's show, but with Klavan you can laugh, while it's poor form to laugh whilst doing the other thing.

Not only was that hilarious , it was probably the greatest analogy of being a chridtian i have ever heard. Thank you for that, falling in line to get on the worlds down escalator is so easy lately, the wisdom in that segment made me stop what i was doing and think

In my opinion, Klavan is likely descended from the Latin word for insight. He’s always got the most unique take on the news of the day, and you can tell he’s not trying to have match or oppose an other analysis of current events. He’s the most independent thinker in public life today.

Somehow the Daily Wire turned a light hearted, optimistically cynical, sort of hilarious show into a lackluster shadow of what it once was. Klavan is no longer even entertaining, he is just preechy and jaded. No more humorous themes, no more laughs, it is just terrible now.

The voters in the primaries picked the wrong candidate, it wasn’t Ron’s turn etc. You go on about how the moderators were against Trump, now Harris wants another debate, you say he shouldn’t do it but he needs the chance to claw his way back. My takeaway is that we’re screwed.

Amazing how Andrew finds symmetry with Literature poetry movies and gleans the Spiritual Scriptural Truth of Judeo Christian Thought with the very human experience. Great Intrllect humor and historian!!

Andrew offers “ways” to understand current events rather than “what” to think about them.

I don’t know how to revise an old review so I’m leaving a new one to balance it out. Once upon a time Drew was my favorite DW host. I honestly haven’t changed much since then and I don’t think that he has either but a slow buildup of problematic things and seemingly minor contradictions here and there led me to observe a now clear pattern that keeps me from enjoying this show as I once did. I won’t point it out as I don’t wish to ruin the show for those of you that still like him and he does occasionally provide an interesting insight or different perspective but he’s just become a little too fake and the once charming “I know best but also let me drop some self deprecating remark to still seem down to earth” attitude has gotten so old for me. My final straw was the recent interview with and promotion of author Maureen Callahans book. I’m ashamed to admit that I was suckered into buying it and reading the whole thing hoping it would end up being good because the self proclaimed art and culture guide of the DW praised it. I still love every other DW host and even though I find myself disagreeing with them fairly often too, it’s in an extremely different and non fundamental way as it is with Drew. Listen to it if you’ve got nothing else to play otherwise give someone else, especially another DW host, a chance!

Listen to this podcast if you want to hear a great writer who does the podcast and how it sounds different from just a talker who does a podcast. his intro, segments show great writing and depth of intellect and satire. You will want to listen to them twice.

He asks questions like a normal person but boring down to the essence of the issue.

I loved this interview! Thank you

I’ve tried on multiple occasions to like this podcast but it’s not possible. Klavan is obnoxious. From the theme song to the self-righteous lectures, it’s nothing but eye rolls from me. Shapiro is the only dude from Daily Wire that I can tolerate.

I listen to Klavan more consistently than any other political commentator. He is smart, funny, and his unique insights sync with my brain & heart. He makes the most sense and TELLS THE TRUTH no matter what his audience might want to hear. That’s why I trust him. He is a principled and spiritual man❤️

You definitely took a cheap shot at Candace. You've been going wrong since you allowed them to change your intro!

Andrew showed his true colors when he publicly smeared and lied about Candace on his show immediately after her firing. It was absolutely despicable, a boneheaded move, and shows his lack of character. If you want to receive bad theology and lies on a weekly basis, be my guest. Shame on you, Klavan, for attacking your former colleague.

1. Andrew says everything cool was first thought of or done by a man. Andrew, we women were not allowed to do many of the things men have enjoyed since the middle of last century. I rarely cry sexism, but you are so tone deaf. 2. Expanding on the tone deaf: “Technology is evil,” says Andrew, while bestowing upon us proles the technology he pretends to hate. It’s the either/or attitude of pundits like this guy that make them impossible to listen to. Technology has brought us life expectancies into the 80s. Medical technology has saved two members of this family. Technology has allowed my husband to work from home and not being carried out in a body bag at 32 because he died before a canary did in the coal mine. I would love to debate this guy. Won’t ever happen, but it’s amazing to listen to the hypocrisy. Oh, forgot number 3: He told us the best thing we can do for children in foster care is to go see his movie (technology)! As a former foster parent to dozens of children, I dare to disagree. I’m also sure ALL profits are going to foster care charities.

Andrew can’t accept a theology that doesn’t affirm and include his actively homosexual son, so he has to ignore large swaths of scripture and twist what’s left to tell you that Jesus is cool with homosexuality. He also has no problem with nudity in film, because art… riiiiiight. He’s a funny and creative guy, but I can’t have this anti-biblical garbage in my ears.

Shame on you guys. Lying about Candace and calling her anti Semitic is shameful.

In case you haven’t read James Jones “From Here to Eternity” don’t judge it by the tacky movie. It ranks with the best I’ve ever read. What about great stories like Steinbeck’s “East of Eden”, McMurtry’s “Lonesome Dove”? I do humbly consider myself a literature snob, reading every day like my brilliant father before me. Something to read on your vacation? Thanks for the great podcasts and Substack. Love both your word salads and Spencer’s. Guess I’ll have to subscribe…

He appears to be. Typical call the left what we’re actually doing reich winger. The latest “the left’s censorship and gaslighting” as many of them try to ban books from schools and physically intimidate teachers, threaten school board members and election officials. GFY KKKlaveRn

Love, love, love the show but over the past few months Ive noticed repeats of entire sections of the show on Apple Podcasts… irksome. Which means Im missing dialog if time holds true. This doesnt show up on DailyWire or Rumble… hadnt tried Spotify.

Banning books or speech (opinions) is totalitarian behavior and I am out on all Daily Wire content!

I really need to stop listening to this show when I’m at the gym. The show intros are so irreverent and on the nose that I risked dropping a barbell on myself while I was bench pressing because I laughed so much. Klavan is so intelligent and well spoken while delivering his political commentary in a genuinely entertaining way.

You’d be hard pressed to find a more prescient and well informed pontificator out there today. The combo of humor and poignancy amounts to the best podcast out there for the sane and rational.

Great

Wow

You did her wrong.

Amen

I love listening to your show. I am a Christian women living in America. I really appreciate your explanation on why Candace Owens had to go. I kept having a bad feeling with the way she was dealing with her views about Israel, and the Jewish people. Like you said, it is OK to criticize governments, and how wars are fought—but what she did showed a dislike for the Jewish people, and I could not explain why until you did this episode. I also found it very interesting she refused to talk about October 7th, even though she talks about everything under the sun.

Used to enjoy his cultural takes. But over the past year, it’s become increasingly apparent what a vile pathetic little man he is. Re: Candace firing, so you see being pro-abortion a moral equivalent to being opposed to Israel’s murderous policies? Disgusting!

I look forward to your thought provoking podcasts every Friday along with the humor. God bless you & thank you!

I absolutely love Ann Coulter, she’s a American treasure.

I am a long time listener of Andrew’s podcasts and have purchased his books. All of them are wonderful. I absolutely love when he shares his thoughts about religion and society and his point-of-view is unique in today’s world. I could not recommend him more. I found it odd though how much he turned me off during his Pearl Davis interview. The only part of her argument I agree with regards the legal system and what it does to men (and the behavior it creates in women). However, I found Andrew to treat her differently than other guests. I’ve never heard him talk over a guest like that and interrupt and argue with them. It was unbecoming and tough to listen to; I found him to be uncharacteristically obtuse in his approach. I am so use to him deftly handling situations like this that it surprised me this time. That being said, no one is perfect and perhaps this critique says more about me than it does Andrew. Please keep it up, you are a treasure!

Drew, you host a magnificent show that always leaves me thinking. I am not a fan of the episode with Pearl Davis because neither one of you articulate your position well. Marriage displays an ideal and none are perfect and you both have solid points on this but they deserve to be well spoken ideas. How bout you write a book on it! The great good thing was a great read. Thank you for always having ideas worth hearing.

Good job interviewing this woman today. You proved that she knows nothing about women or marriage. We need good influencers, and you show us who to ignore.

Love you Andrew but you protested too much with this gal. She’s sadly right on. She has the facts. You have an ideal. Reminds me of our current political divide. I’m 53, love women, and have never been divorced. Thank God!!!

Klavan has made many comments & references regarding women that I am increasingly bothered by. At 24 years of age my husband left right after I gave birth to twins. I was very scared & vulnerable so understand the need for women & children to be protected. I didn’t choose divorce. My kids didn’t choose to be essentially abandoned by their father. We have suffered greatly by a man letting us down. Not all men are not bad & my dad was one of the best! He was the best. What are women supposed to do when child rearing is done. Am I now at 69 years not able to think critically about the world? I never have wanted hand outs by big government. I have always worked & strived to the best for my two boys. I’ve never had the luxury of being taken care of! Not everyone gets to like in that world. I am very concerned about our country. Mature women can’t sit back & think politicians will take care of everything. It’s insulting to think that women can only be Pollyannas & want shiny handouts.

Andrew, 1) through out, the election campaign and well before, you seem to notice all the wonderful and truthful accomplishments Trump did but of course always have to find some fault. So day in and day out and three times each, I have to hear you say how crude and rude and lacking of politician like smoothness of lying that Trump somehow failed you. I can put up with this nonsense But this was the MOST repeated reason that people used to vote him out. THANK you to you and the whole crew. He still won. 2) Today, you are continuing to rag and preach how smart you are and good riddance to Trump. You say not enough cheating and then you go on and on about ALL the reasons that the election wasn’t fair including fake impeachment and fake special counsel investigation and dragged on and on And you could keep going on and on with unfairness. I know I can FB , Social media, RESISTANCE for four years. Voter dumping and threats to Everyone from Supreme Court to Fox etc and yet, you want to say, you don’t see anything and then you’ll say the Republicans are weak. I enjoyed many of your shows- too bad you abandon our savior when he needs you.

What a great dialogue about your love for your son. I think you should take up the Alistair Begg argument, because as a Christian, I can see brother Begg‘s heart clearly…, But as a sinner, I can see why it’s not my problem. I love brother Begg & btw, I fell down the stairs this week the same way & broke my foot😂…but I didn’t die💋⚔️🇺🇸🎯🕊

An affront to American ideals. Pablum and drivel at its’ finest. Klavan the Klan.

I really appreciate your thought provoking pod. So rare these days. Keep up the good work!

Love this conversation- great questions from KlavAn. Thoughtful straight up answers from Wilson!

Thanks for having Doug Wilson on. Enjoy your commentary a lot.

There is no other podcast quite like this. Andrew’s intellectual commentary and witty sarcasm keeps me laughing along through these end days. I look forward to listening each week. Thank you.

The latest episode touched me. Especially the ending.

Rubin Report is on holiday so I thought I’d give you a try again, and you disappointed. A lot of your content is excellent, but you denied 911 is an INSIDE JOB and besmirched Alex Jones for it. My brother you need more god in your courage sails in order to escape your contrived soft paradigm.

Alex Jones wasn’t kicked off social media due to Sandy Hook, it was because he maligned Oliver Darcy

I like Andrew Klavan a lot. He’s wise, well spoken, and nothing kills his spirit. But I can’t stand the commercials. Every 5 minutes? Really? No, I’m going to pass.

Often laugh while listening! Or more somber. Just read “When Christmas Comes” cover to cover last night. Great story! I’m about to delve into “A Strange Habit of Mind” and can’t wait. The third book is on my nightstand to read after this one. Thank you for so much wisdom and fun from one person. And thank Megyn for introducing me to you! Peggy
