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!

Great Content

Good place to get your news. He’s informative, knowledgeable, and fact checks himself if he got something wrong. I love that he’s upfront with you, and doesn’t just criticize the right but the left as well.

Informative

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

God do I need this man when I find myself talking to a trumpster cult member. Hold the line David, I adore you.

Yes!!

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)!

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.



Thank goodness for David

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

Great listen

Great Left leaning junk food.
