David, Sir!
I have heard that Alex Jones doesn’t think too fondly of you! Something about a “bonus show”?

At any rate, support independent media!

Just two things

I have been a member of David Pakman for well over a year he is Great. I miss his former in studio partner. Love having a person who isn't a lunatics like the cult liars.
I wish #1) We could view the clips to make our own evaluation instead of David telling us what we are about to see. And I wish the name and subjects would completely avoid any reference to the former FAKE President David is smooth and enjoyable to listen to. Stay Strong David

My Daily Political Craving

Interesting, intelligent and honest commentary with solid facts checking and practical analysis of political people, parties, issues and events. David comes off as a very genuine person. I live and work in China so my VPN doesn’t always work and watching the show can be challenging, but I can always listen to this podcast on Audible to get the daily political coverage I crave. I wish it was available on the weekends, but I also understand everyone deserves time off…(wink)!

Thank goodness for David

David is a breath of clean air in these vile times. I know he is an intelligent man because he sees things the way I do , and how can you argue with that? I look to him for clarity and truth. With tears in my eyes, I tune in to his podcasts throughout the day.

Great listen

Clearly left and unapologetic about it. However, not extreme and at least observes other points of view. I say this as an independent myself.
