So it's been 20 years that you've been a fake. I don't even like Graham Allen and it took him to expose me to your level of fake. I started to question you when your introduction changed. I and my 11 year old daughter hated the change. She loved the intro song at least as much as I did. You sold your soul.
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 pray for Ben, Jordan, Dennis, & all of you. Candice Owens had become odious after Oct. 7; her high piety in claiming Christ is King grieved me. She was undoing much of the good my prayers were having. We believers love all & seek reconciliation. I’d hoped it was her pregnancy pushing her into that uber emotional frame of mind that we mothers go through, and maybe she’ll come around. Extra prayers for Jeremy Boring.
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💋⚔️🇺🇸🎯🕊
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.
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.
He claims that Trump built a lot of border wall, that is not true. He may have repaired some fence and built a few miles of new fence, but not much. Trump’s inability to work with people on the other side of the aisle torpedoed his ability to get a significant amount of wall/fence built.
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!

This crazy insane world makes me want to scream and cry - and sometimes want to punch something so I come to listen to the Klavan show to laugh about the idiots - please make Chuckie Schumer cry again! It’s a good dose of laugh medicine when you might as well. You can’t seem to vote the idiots out even when you vote early and vote often. Just kidding, heard that from a democrat. Thanks Drew!
Klavan is at the top of my shortlist of podcasts to listen to each and every week and he’s my first choice among the Daily Wire hosts. I really enjoy hearing his views on current news topics and how they relate to his Christian world view. He definitely gives you something to think about regarding how you approach life and politics and culture.
And if you haven’t done so yet, order his new book, “The House of Love and Death,” his 3rd in the Cameron Winter Mysteries series. I’ve really enjoyed the first 2 and looking forward to reading this latest one.
Klavan’s take on politics and culture and religion is second to none. I love all the DW hosts, but Klavan’s Friday show is the highlight for me. The Wednesday interview is a nice break from the typical political punditry, but the friday show always exceeds my expectations! Thanks for putting so much though and honestly into the show. And I love when you crack yourself up with your monologues. I listen to the show at least three times, and share it almost weekly. Great stuff! Keep up the great work!
My husband is a huge fan of Andrew”s books and podcast. He encouraged me to listen and I totally agree Andrew is fantastic! He tells riveting interesting stories. I also love his sense of humor and great voice. Highly recommend!
Currently, the reigning champ of satirical monologues. Andrew’s commentary is filled with humor and wisdom. Among the best conservative philosophers and comedians in the game!
Andrew is the quintessential gentleman and sage . This show isn’t just political as Andrew speaks through a broad ,historical literary and moral lens .
I especially enjoy his moral and spiritual perspectives I never miss a show. What is truth ? You’ll find a lot of it here .
Andrew stay well and keep up all your work !
TT
Amazing how Andrew finds symmetry with Literature poetry movies and gleans the Spiritual Scriptural Truth of Judeo Christian Thought with the very human experience. Even Barbie! Trump is The Alpha Male heroic flawed Patriot, somehow you miss destiny and it's rarely Preordained!! Desantis is not that! He built a resume not A fortune!! Yes honor and fidelity but not a true Capitalist just a groomed political career box checker! Typical Washington type! entity! His backers prove that Koch Bros and Bush!!! He mentioned 3 of my favorite pivotal films in the episode Ben Hur which a distant relative of mine Wrote, Larence of Arabia and On the Waterfront! Hey I could have been a contender in Radio if I would not have worked on a failed Gospel Station in 1981 in NC. as the newsman. I took this hot cute girl from the bank to a county where they had Liquor by the drink got hammered and never knew Regan got shot until the next day and I was the Newsman! I was a bum lol
The pleasure of Andrew Klavan’s work is how he uses his stellar literary skills to analyze the contemporary political scene. The result is a rich and deep cultural analysis that gets at the metaphysical meaning of things. He’s also has a charming and erudite mind. Great sense of humor. Full of so much love and wonder. Obviously, he is a Christian warrior fighting the good fight.
Your old format was better to me IMHO. Now I find I tune in for a few minutes and then bounce because it’s just not the same. I don’t have to agree 100% but I do have to have it hold my interest and your new format isn’t. Sorry…. Will not put you as a priority listen as I only have so much time to listen and want it to be spent on podcasts I enjoy the most. Good luck. You are a truly great man. And I wish your podcast success with those who find your new format appealing. It just isn’t for me.
