Rachel Maddow at Amherst College

On March 30, 2013, television host, political commentator and author Rachel Maddow gave a talk on topics related to her book, Drift: The Unmooring of American Power. She was introduced by President Biddy Martin and the President of the Association of Amherst Students, Tania Dias '13.

The brighter a person is and the more knowledgeable they are, the more respect they have for Dr Maddow.

I have always liked Rachel Maddow and now even more after seeing a little bit more of her personality outside her show. This speech at Amherst College was a real eye-opener for me.

[@tinfoilhatter]

she's probably another devil worshipper--they're really out there, and they love to dupe the public-rachel can't hide her duping delight, every single night--watch for it!

[@pattihawks8514]

Rachel, I enjoyed this talk so much. You’re easy to follow, and have taught me much more about news, politics, and general knowledge than I absorbed in school, many moons ago! I hope these students use this information to tweak their interest and explore further! Thank you!Love your show!

[@8bijoux1]

Watching this almost 6 years later...still in Syria but wow, how smart is Rachel Maddow

[@laurabealmear9293]

After listening to this, realize it is 10 yrs ago, the question is somewhat relevant to the now verse then!

[@carmenhorn1620]

Now she published Blowout and it is astounding

[@patnorton2407]

And how wise it was of Amherst to invite her.

[@irishcladdagh3]

I love how her intellect is what gets her there and how she is just herself jeans sneakers and all...I adore her 😍

[@hia5235]

Hes a smart guy

[@cliffmakanda5774]

Wow,Rachel Maddow is amazing.

[@carmenhorn1620]

It's not that war is or feels free, it's that people are making money from us being at war.

[@tonitalas1757]

Mesmerizing words from Rachel! An American hero 😊

[@kennethcarlsen8920]

Plainly brilliant, important and tremendously clever!

[@albertr.henderson8646]

I love Rachel Maddow. I hope she would run for President of U. S. But the position is so complex and controversial that I don't really believe she would take the job. I also love her show. She is very knowledgeable and informative. Peace to Rachel. I just really believe she is hip and right on point as a News reporter.

[@markmcquire5281]

You took the words right out of my mouth she is great

[@sherizamani6619]

You are indeed worthy knowledgeable person.

[@ernestsolomons178]

She is more than that. Love her.

[@swoll1980]

Sorry to hear that.

Simply the best 😂

[@wildsmiley]

What? Because she's a lesbian, Jewish and liberal, she has a bad soul? You're really saying that? Can't be sure as it's somewhat difficult to understand much of your comment.

[@TheFrogger15]

Rachel was raised Catholic.

[@chrislabonne7154]

A lesbian, yes. Liberal absolutely. Jewish, no. She's not Jewish.

[@ldhh1526]

Her paternal grandfather was Eastern European Jewish.

[@arielmickle4770]

I believe she has Ashkenazic heritage. But she was raised in a very Catholic household and maintains Christian faith about which she is often vocal.

[@johnstranton5813]

Rachel Maddow is an amazing person , I like her alot

[@laurabealmear9293]

Racheal M a national treasure!

[@ElSmusso]

[@maypanah5880]

thank you Rachel.

[@Bannedbooks440]

Was anyone else completely thrown off by how many times the girl that introduced Rachel kept touching the mic? It bothered me so much I had to comment. Jesus Christ STOP TOUCHING THE MIC!

[@frogdogink4415]

Wow 🤭🥴

[@raygeorge9325]

50 plus years after Vietnam and the same government we tried to overthrow is one of the most peaceful governments around the world never hear about Vietnam anymore so what does that say about our perception and our views?

[@bamiberry7023]

WTF are you talking about

[@wagonstation3709]

What did that woman mean with that comment, "I'm sure you threw things against the wall...." She believes that Rachel actually decides what to say based on what she thinks her audience will believe?! Is she ignorant of who Rachel is or has she just been totally brainwashed? *Watching this again, it sure would have been nice to have an intro from somebody that slept the week before she introduced Rachel. Somebody that wasn't start struck. That intro was embarrassing!

[@sisterursuline]

Dude chill, she meant that Rachel covered a lot of frustrating stuff in the book and that it was difficult to write. Jesus..

[@wagonstation3709]

@@sisterursuline Here's a thought: why don't you chill? Jesus. Let your post sit a few days and come back to it. All the emotion in yours is equal or surpassing mine! Talk about the put calling the kettle black!

[@douglas2lee929]

Rach, I don't think you should give an identical speech in 2 or more places. I know it's more work for you but I think you can use some variation and storyline juggling, so each speech you give will be more unique. I've heard this speech at two different places. I think I still have drift. If I can find it I'll read it again. Bless you my friend, you are a true gift to all of us. By the way, can I borrow a couple million? 🤗

Rachel was raised Catholic.

[@kathleenaustin6147]

Trolls are sadly everywhere!

[@InfraaVerdaggens]

She is not happy and she does not want the Good of other people. She doesn't think good of other people. It's right there on her face and in her eyes.

[@carmenhorn1620]

InfraaVerdaggens she is way over your head if you think that

[@InfraaVerdaggens]

@@carmenhorn1620 haha was that all your argumentation?? Everybody gets what he deserves, and you apparently deserve an unnatural abomination and freaky monstrosity like her/him. This is exactly your worth.
