    David you’re critique of yourself is valid. However, I think it was tempered and good. You made the right wingers look hysterical in comparison.

    Your measured approach is appreciated. Even though I want you to scorch the earth with them, I believe a percentage wants to hear people like you rather than…

  • Love your enemy

    I’m very different from David politically. Matt Walsh is more my speed.

    Still, I listen to David’s podcast (among others like him) to see what those who think the most unlike me are talking about. Though I rarely agree with his take, I give him a 5/5 because he lays his case out clearly and consistently. Every now and then he’s spot on…I’ll go from chuckling and smh to nodding in agreement. I think he’s well intentioned, albeit wrong. Great job, Mr. Pakman, keep up the good work.

    David does it right. He has a great analytical mind and is fair. I don’t always have the same take on the headlines but appreciate that he lays out his interpretations of events in a very objective and logical way. I like that the show isn’t another rage bait panel show. I like him in this context more than appearances on tv, however his presence there may lead to a greater following from non pod listeners. Just my two cents.

    Zionism, thinly veiled Islamophobia, gaslighting and a fetish for persecution that would make the most religiously the right blush.

    This is what awaits you on David’s podcast.

    There is no campaign to down rate the podcast,

    he’s manufacturing outrage. David officially both sides the genocide in Gaza refusing to understand why Hamas even exits and losing my 10 years of support. He had been increasingly obsessed with his metrics and his bonus show has very little to nothing to offer. Not worth... more
