#davidpakmanshow #vivekramaswamy #2024election
Vivek deserves credit for facing a critical host openly. Both sides should follow suit to lower tensions and address our real problems.
Why are we congratulating Vivek for acting like a (mostly) decent human being for 30 minutes?
David has never been MAGA-aggressive. He, in fact, has an amazing capacity to remain calm and polite, with even the wackiest guests. Now, with the exception of that verbal diarrhea rant at the end, Vivek wasn’t very wacky today.
Wish I could say the same for the Republican Party. It’s no wonder we HAVE to congratulate them when they behave in a socially acceptable manner: the bar is now set so low that kidney punches, revenge porn and worse are acceptable in their Party.
I don't think he cares because he's not running to win the nomination.
@@catherinegearhart2102
I dunno about you, but other than Vivek, I don't see any other politicians Republican or Democrat make any effort to try to talk with the other side.
It isn't about being a decent human being but about setting a bar or standard that is sorely needed given our political atmosphere.
On one hand, we have Trump calling the democrat voters Vermin, in the other we have Hillary calling Republican voters deplorables.
@@atharwamalawade259 True. The days of "We have this policy " vote Democrat or Republican seem over 🤔 🙄
i actually agree here. he's like the opposite of let's say sam seder in terms of pakman remaining calm and collected. @@catherinegearhart2102
Say what you want to say about Vivek, but he comes to platforms like Pakman and other left wing spaces to be open for challange, you can't say that about Desantis, Nikki $ Haley or any other republican.
Me and Ramaswamy have two things in common: neither of us are running to win the Republican nomination, and we'll both talk to just about anybody.
You can say the same for the Dems...
@@user-pv9ev3nu6she’s running to win
@@ussspirit4812 That's nonsense. Ramaswamy says as president he will abolish the IRS, the CDC, the FBI and the DOJ. This stuff isn't even remotely feasible. The president doesn't even have the power to do that.
@user-pv9ev3nu6s That's why it's obvious with no doubt, Vivek is a four-flusher fraud.
The stupid want to put words in his mouth…to later criticize him but Vivek is not stupid he got my vote
yup Pakman avoided going into anything as Vivek could probably out debate him. Pakmans like of questioning also tries to push people to anwswer their answer looking for attack points. He tried but vivek was honest in his answer.

Vivek is very classy man. You can't put people down to make you better Or greater. That is Very cheap.
As Vivek is slowly finding out, winning an election is not as easy as making money as a predatory venture capitalist
So well said. 🤣

💯 % he isn't qualified to be fucking dog catcher, and your average dog catcher has more experience in governement...but we are talking about the mentally feeble republican party. So who knows.

Rich people are usually the LEAST ABLE to lead. In lifeboat situations, working blue collar jobs, driving or flying a complicated machine, in the military: wealthy people are the LAST PEOPLE to place in leadership roles.
Atleeast Vivek is giving us solutions and plans. Half the candidates on either party even struggle to speak about let alone give a solution. Vivek is by far the best on both sides. He allows for open devate without being subjected to hate.

@@ir8free He doesn’t care what adults do. But he doesn’t think minors (under 18) should be allowed to have gender reassignment surgeries just because they are children. Their mind has not developed

It's not surprising you thought of Pakman as outgunned, since you made the claim about the rabbit hole and canned talking points. Just say you're in love with Vivek first, the rest doesn't even matter.
I honestly felt bad for David. That was embarrassing. I’d like to see him act like a human seeking to learn from someone with whom he disagrees politically. He sticks to his sloppy debate tactics, rather than an honest dialectic.
He belongs on CNN
I agree. I actually don't mind him, because he can make some decent points, but he will switch tactics right in the middle of things and it's hard to follow at best. At worst, it's not an honest debate. I think if he really did some research, he could be formidable. However, he doesn't even dig deep enough to make sure he's getting an accurate representation of certain things.

Wisdom! Of fool that is FOS
This brown man is feeling the same hate from “the system” that he claimed didn’t exist and is now trying to wiggle his way back without eating his words. This management system is called white supremacy and he can call it anything but…but it’s clearly a system in place that effects people of color, especially ones in his own silly party! Ask Tim Scott and Larry Elder! They tried to deny the racial aspect but Larry was denied a space and now he wants to sue. Tim bought a girlfriend and still had to quit. Vivek is literally arrogant, narcissistic, Trump with a better vocabulary and smarter… but Yt folks at the grand ol party still won’t vote his behind in that seat. He was getting high on the polls and then came his wishy washy past. Donald Trump was friends with the Clintons, donated to several democratic campaigns, pardoned nothing but financial crime felons and drug dealers and is the epitome or wishy washy, but they see no wrong in that Yt (orange) man. 😂😂😂😂 Vivek, you can train with a speech coach all you want, you can kiss Donald’s butt all you want… but in their eyes, you are not them and won’t be accepted. You’d be better off joining a party that is more tolerable of your skin color and heritage, and work from within. Most folks are unhappy with both parties right now but only one party is at least willing to give diversity a try!

Man, i like Vivek. I had to watch some of his other long form interviews and i have a concern or two but i really do think he is the best option of the current candidates.
Maybe of the three but I really don't like him. He's so ful of shit and ssmarmy. And today was a good example, he was screaming about terrorism for hours in Canada and then it had nothing to do with it. Totally performative and his prescriptions are all fantasies. His last interview with Pakman showed it to me...acting like hje was going to bring peace to Ukraine and everyone will just go along because he brings a deal. Just so full of shit.
On the debate stage he reminds me of a used car salesman.
Without a doubt!! He is the sharpest, quickest, most thought out politician of either party!! He is unflappable!!
He's brown Trump lite. He offers more Maga type insanity stupidity, idiocy incompetence & corruption..nothing more. Nothing different!!
@@toddsalkowski448 He's barely done anything in government, how do you know how he'll get his policies implemented?
I'm a moderate dem but I like Vivek more than any other one, it's just things like legislation and appointing federal judges is a big deal and not having someone experienced in government would hurt their party's long term cause.
Trump was great at getting judges in but that's because he had much more vacancies on the bench than most presidents and a massive senate advantage (especially in the first 2 years).

Vivek faces all media, friendly, hostile, left, right -hats off
Vivek doesn't care who he faces in any conversation. He knows he's going to deflect questions and convolute the narratives while he deflects.
@@Mor928 even I assumed your assertion to be True. This itself is a skill. However, Vivek being a valedictorian sometimes sound complex to people who does not possess similar level of merit and conclude the statement being empty. Vivek should use simpler sentences based on the audience base of the show he attends. Everyone has something to improve. This is his improvement area.
@parichaybose LOL Vivek is so pompous, doctrinaire, and terminally arrogant he's oblivious to the fact that people observe those unappealing proclivities Vivek is oblivious, that's why many people don't trust him.

I thought this was a great opportunity for Vivek to make his case without interruption and leave the judgment to the audience rather than the interviewer.

Atleat biden knows who he beat in the election lol trump couldn't even get the name of the person he ran against correct. You can try all day to berate biden but nothing he has done can ever compare to the complete embarrassment and disaster also known as trump
Have you seen Trump speak, he's just as old and lies all the time...he doesn't even know who is in the offices he is running against and often doesn't know the city he is rallying in...lets be honest ...they are both old and both have age related deficits
No one would deny that Vivek is much more effective communicator than somone who is in the early stages of dementia. In terms of policy, however, Biden is clearly the lesser evil and it's not even close. Biden would mostly maintain the corrupt status quo while making a few good changes, whereas Vivek would take us fifty steps backward and destroy the federal government. With Biden, you get Lina Khan and Ketanji Brown Jackson. With President Vivek, you get a cabinet filled with Trump lackeys. That's not a hard choice.
Biden always finishes Sentences
@judaskatoby 🤣🤣🤣🤣 pure comedy. I'm not wasting my time if you're this delusional.
Vivek has the opposite views on 80% of the issues he had 10 years ago. This weasely grifter cannot become irrelevant fast enough.
The funny thing is,.. so is trump! Lol but Trump gets a pass because he is “the system” that Vivek all the sudden wants to talk about. Ummm Vivek, you know how you claimed it didn’t exist… well, he’s feeling the heat of systemic racism… the system is white supremacy. Calling it out doesn’t mean your racists or that you even hate white people. It just means you acknowledge that “the system” is the problem. Vivek is the perfect example. He is Trump on steroids. He’s smarter and has a better vocabulary… and he still isn’t polling. He’s declining! That’s the system at play here Vivek!

@@DLudGolf he proposes lose of family system? What are you on brother lol I recommend watching some of his interviews before spreading misinformation my guy
@@alexanderrrcanalesss Last reply, because you must just be trolling. I was giving examples of his world building, that he uses to say his rhetoric. He does say the "broken family system" it's one of his go to history lessons about America, he also says there is a managerial class of people that he cannot name that have the power to decide if Joe Biden or Michelle Obama will be President, That the country has lost its glory, that the family system is failing, that institutions are inherently bad because career bureaucrats exist. These are his greatest hits, he always uses these frameworks to explore his ideas. The problem is he never explains why his world views are accurate to begin with.
Take the final exchange in this interview as an example. He wants to gut institutions and funding, because he "believes" there is a managerial class that is running everything. When asked to give any example of any person who is apart of this conspiracy, he crumbles and calls David "viscous" for some reason. He's all backwards, justifying his ideas with blanket beliefs about the world he never bothers to prove or frankly explain.
These are my observations about his rhetoric and interview style. You don't have to agree with my analysis, cheers.
As a right leaning individual, David you are one of the left leaning individuals I listen to regularly because you keep your cool and push for clarity. Glad to see that towards the end of this interview it didn't devolve into shouting but you were able to get an answer out of Vivek. Thank you for doing this interview!
And this is exactly what we need. People are too illogical and polarized.
David is a shyster, a fraudster and a discredit to everything the Founding Fathers stood for/by. In otherwords, he's a loser and a bottomfeeder for profit.
unfortunately, he's constantly making videos about people who are like Vivek and don't agree and condone with the misinformation pushed by the main stream media. People like Rfk and Vivek are good for public discourse
David is extremely dishonest. It’s sad because he has the potential of not clip baiting and cutting out important information and framing it a certain way. I would rather watch cnn.
Are you serious?? At no point in any interview he has ever done, is David Pakman not a raging moron.
Trump is every bit as mentally SHARP as he's ever been.
On the other hand ... the same absolutely CAN'T be said - at least honestly - of Biden.
"Trump is every bit as mentally SHARP as he's ever been." - Based on an anecdote from Vivek, who will absolutely benefit from being on Trump's good side. Please. It also assumes Trump was mentally sharp to begin with. There is plenty of video evidence to the contrary (Couldn't find Rudy Giuliani in the room even though he was sitting NEXT TO HIM, said, "the ORANGES of the investigation" then repeated "Oranges" a second time as a clarification, etc. etc.).
That's definitely not true unless your implying trump has always been confused and deranged....
No one is as mentally sharp as they were 4/5 years ago in their senior years. Trump is a few years younger than President Biden, if President Biden is too old then so is Trump if you're being honest.
@@Eric.Mercado - It's quite obvious you never spend any time observing either man on television. Biden is a bumbling idiot who can barely get a word out ... and Trump demonstrates absolutely NO deficiency whatsoever with regard to mental sharpness and capability. In brief ... age is NO guarantee of mental deficiency.

Congratulations David that was one of the best interviews I’ve heard, and I really appreciate the respect you have for your guest, and it gave me a whole new insight into Vivake that I had not had before, so I really appreciate what you’re doing. Excellent job.
@davidwheeler6699
Respect for his guest?
David may be right that his audience is too dense to get it but I am pretty sure that he himself is smart enough to be engaging in demagoguery knowingly and intentionally.
Vivek says the government is run by a bureaucratic machine and David is pressing and pressing for names?
This is the very point of a bureaucratic machine that there are no names that matter, duh!!!
What Vivek says is that it's the setup, the system, the machine that runs things, and that the individuals who happen to hold this or that position at any given time are utterly replaceable, exchangeable, and simply irrelevant.
With his pressing for names, what David is trying to do is to obscure the point and prevent it from penetrating the minds of his audience.
To anybody who is intellectually and psychologically secure enough to not fear exposure to ideas that may be new to them, I highly recommend the book Parkinson's Laws and Other Studies in Administration by C. Northcote Parkinson. It is a hilariously funny, eminently readable (and surprisingly thin) book explaining how bureaucracies work, and why they inevitably work that way.
The worst that can happen reading the book is getting a few good laughs.
Vivek is a bootlicker and likely the next one to drop out of the race. What insight could you possibly get from a fascist?
But do you like Vivek?
That's funny this dude congratulating a guy that feeds him bs and lied to you about everything but you still believe him I'm surprise dave isn't calling him a racist he said trump racist against Jews I wanna know how or when did it become racist not believing in a religious
This was an exceptionally disapointing interview. Vivek followed the classic Trump/Troll playbook of politely saying 100 false things, and the host managing to push back on a handful. Net effect is that Vivek's nonsense isn't actually addressed; instead, it's platformed by Pakman.
The politness makes it _worse_ not better, because it emotionally feels like they saying reasonable things, but Vivek often is not; the appropriate reaction would be slamming the door in his face; i.e. cutting of the interview and explanation the deception in detail. This kind of interviewing style perpetuates the toxic conman style of politician.

You cannot talk about anyone's cognitive decline while intentionally hiding, or without acknowledging JB's
You can't. But like Packman said, the people talking about Bidens cognitive decline refuse to honestly do the same about Trumps.
They're both too old.
I agree they are both old, but i detest that people are getting deceived about JB and truly believe he can run 4 more years. I believe Trump has more energy still and also believe the left is trying hard to paint him as unable to run for 4 years. DT can still survive over an hour interview with all curveballs and he doesn't need any script.

The most disconcerting thing about this guy is that he refuses to say anything derogatory about his biggest political rival. Something very suspicious about that.
Why go after Trump when you can sling turds at Kristen Welker?
He's a brown guy that can't afford to piss off the racist Trump base. He's delusional.

I like Vivek!
The problem with Vivek is very few people know him.....and he is doing the right thing reaching out to as many people as people. The other issue is that the older republican base is very racist and will never accept a brown man with an Indian name, however intelligent that person, to lead this country. But Vivek is the right guy for the country right now....more younger democrats & Republicans are voting for him than older Republicans. I'm voting Vivek in the primaries as well as main if that works...Vivek 2024🇺🇸

That's not what he said lol You can't even quote correctly. lol
Give it a few more months and he will fade away again
Of course a white supramacist like you would not like him!

He’s very abrasive and defensive. If you can get a word in you’re lucky. Whats he hiding? Damn!

How stupid does Vivek make you feel!? 😂. He literally runs circles around you. After this conversation, I’d vote for him over anyone else currently running. And I’m an independent.
Vivek is right about the political machine. Remember at the start of the Democratic primaries in 201, Kamala Harris was propped up as the candidate
that everyone should vote for? She was one of the first if not the first candidate to get a CNN town hall. Who decided that Harris would be the candidate to be
placed front and center? Then who decided that oout of all the possible candidates, Harris would be Joe Biden's VP pick? The machine decided. That's who.
Just when I think someone couldn't be any more of a professional grifter than Mike lindell, David surprises us with this guy
😂

Mike may have started as a true believer ? i’m not convinced of that ! but maybe. This guy right here is a con man and a psychopath
Still don’t know who he is or his policies. He was talking about everybody else in the world, but himself. 😂
@askew666 that's because he gets into trouble when he spews his vision, if that is what we call it
You should look up what the word grifter means. He has $100 million in the bank. This campaign has done nothing but bleed money out of his bank account.
Vivek's campaign strategy seems to be to just never stop talking
That’s surely better than hiding in the basement.

Amazing interview, I'm starting to have a lot of better of an impression of Pakman. Vivek acted a little weird with the final question because he was a little confused but Pakman handled it very well. Coming from a major Vivek fan.
He wasn’t confused. Parkman was hunting for a name and VR kept saying the name was unimportant and that he was approaching it from the wrong frame, but Pak kept pushing the “Give me a name”
@@ryantalmadge7403 Giving names makes what he was saying sound more plausible. Dodging the question looks bad. I don't know how just giving a few names then saying those people are just a small part of the corrupted system isn't the smart thing to do.

David, You Have leaped forward in your interview skills. Compared to the last interview... Credit where credit is due. Good form
He definitely knew what to expect this time.
I just wish he would kick Trump out of his head and talk to Vivek about his policies. Although he might be afraid to. And not the voting thing that a President has no control over. Uh, constitutional amendment.
@@michaelparmetersr.9018 True, but why is someone running for President talking about things that he wants to change in the Constitution?
@@michaelparmetersr.9018 As far as Trump goes, if Vivek says that he is "the greatest President of the 20th century," then he clearly sees Trump as a model. If he says that he will pardon Trump, that leads to questions about the rule of law and whether certain people really are above the law. Until the Republican Party figures out how to deal with Trump, he is completely unavoidable as an interview topic with those running against him.
As per Chris Christie if he thinks Trump is so great why is he running against him?
Exactly
In case Trump goes to prison he is there to pardon him.
You do not think Pakman asked that question? How could you miss it? Pay attention.
he clearly said he believes he can do better than Trump. A competitor need not critic his opponent in everything.
Bcoz he thinks he's better?
I like how he calls it "America first base" because he knows he cant say "Trump/Maga base"
America first is bigger than any one person, including trump
He has explained this in other podcast, ""America first base" is not just trump/maga, it is something bigger that any man or party.
Because Trump/MAGA are a symptom of a systemic problem
@Thebluesky0311 Yeah...again cause he can't out right say you need the Trump base to win
Sorry Vivek but to gain the Walmart base you have to be trashier like the spray tan draft dodger.

The late and much-missed Robin Williams said it best for this Canadian. Canada is indeed living above a meth lab.
Yes, we can all agree that we already have consequences for assaulting people, which has zero connection to the right to abortion.
Yeah that was a ridiculous example
Boy are you dumb!! That's not what he said. He was talking about the punishment being a lot more severe when an unborn baby dies as a result of a crime.
He points out that if you kill your own child people think that is ok, but if someone else kills your child it is wrong. A baby's life is precious regardless.
@@KLSG-rm5nrIf I chose to repeatedly punch myself in the face I can do that because its my own body. Someone else doesn't have the right to decide to punch me in my face because its not their body. Thats why we have laws against battery and assault. If a woman wants to end her own pregnancy before viability she can because it's her own body but someone else cannot make that choice for her because its not their body. That's why we have laws specifically factoring in if a woman is pregnant or not if she is assaulted. What's so hard for you to understand?
@@robhernandez5520 Almost like the child is a separate individual from the mother who carries it
The difference on the hypothetical of the pregnant woman that lost a child due to either been attacked or killed is that she wanted to have the baby.
Maybe...maybe not. But the real difference is the act of violence that hurt the woman was AN ACT OF VIOLENCE not MEDICAL CARE provided by a licensed, educated, and experienced medical professional! There's a HUGE DIFFERENCE. Even if she was hit by a car and both her and baby were lost. Even if it was a total and complete accident that person would be accountable for causing an ACCIDENT...accidents are not medical care either. I don't understand how Vivek gets away with telling a story like that and equates it to the abortion issue...
1L law student here. I’m just a noob but even I can see that that was a bad example and we should force Thomas to go back to law school because in the example he cited, the criminal is guilty of BATTERY and ASSAULT. Whereas with an abortion, the woman consents to the operation and the doctor isn’t guilty of anything so long as the patient gives their consent
Yes, but the legal argument is difficult for creating laws due to the way our constitution is written.
The way the Supreme Court bypassed that was medical privacy and viability, but then you have to deal with someone who kicks their spouse until she miscarries and they are not up for murder due to the fetus not being an individual (who can be murdered) until viability.
So, there is struggle to find the rights in the constitution.
But a way to bypass this and find agreement is to pass laws based on the health of the mother (both mental and physical) to legalize abortion. For example, it would directly affect the mothers mental health to have a pregnancy or child. (No prediagnosis is needed). Then a woman whose unborn is killed by another would still be able to press charges on someone who killed their unborn.
Because in both instances a dead child is going to be removed from the mother's womb. But besides that, the point that the vivek was making is that Americans would hold that person accountable for their actions.
@@michaelthompson7906Yes. But simultaneously Americans think people have a right to the medical procedure of abortion
Why is Vivek so afraid to answer David’s legitimate question about who runs the “machine “. So afraid that he insults David.
Because they are puppets on a very big stage. He called out Ronna Mcdaniels, why would he be afraid to call out anyone? Its about the system… many people behind the curtain!
The point is that no one person runs the "machine". He also has to be cognisant of how anything he says he in long form interviews will be pulled out of context and misrepresented elsewhere. That said, if he has a bunch of names I wish he'd just post them with evidence and examples... Otherwise, he needs to find out a better way to tap dance around it.
@sheryldwan7948
Obviously, David knows his audience and how to play to it.
The answer who runs the machine is not "legitimate", it would be idiotic if asked genuinely, and it is deceptive when asked by David.
It's the very point of a bureacratic machine running things that there are no names that matter, duh!!!
That it's the setup, the system, the machine that runs things, and the individuals who happen to hold this or that position at any given time are utterly replaceable, exchangeable, and simply irrelevant, is the very point Vivek is making, and David makes his utmost - apparently quite successfully - to make sure his audience doesn't get it.
Barack Obama runs the machine.
@@Christlikelife459
Obama didn't ever, and doesn't currently, run anything. He's never been more than a puppet. Now if you say that essentially the same group that ran Obama back then is now running Biden, that''s a different story. But as Vivek tried to explain, it's not about which individuals are at any given time appointed to any given posts. It's the system that runs itself - and the country - according to its inner nature, and the individuals are incidental, transitory, and mostly irrelevant.
"viscosity of your question", WTF?, Swami is an Olympic level shinola salesman.
💙 it get him get a straight answer. Please VOTE 💙
Makes sense.
Vivek: Joe Biden isn't make decisions. It's a machine.
David: So who's running the machine?
Vivek: I - uh - it's just a machine...
Mike Pillow is getting a bit twitchy now.... the machines the machines haha
This brown man is feeling the same hate from “the system” that he claimed didn’t exist and is now trying to wiggle his way back without eating his words. This management system is called white supremacy and he can call it anything but…but it’s clearly a system in place that effects people of color, especially ones in his own silly party! Ask Tim Scott and Larry Elder! They tried to deny the racial aspect but Larry was denied a space and now he wants to sue. Tim bought a girlfriend and still had to quit. Vivek is literally arrogant, narcissistic, Trump with a better vocabulary and smarter… but Yt folks at the grand ol party still won’t vote his behind in that seat. He was getting high on the polls and then came his wishy washy past. Donald Trump was friends with the Clintons, donated to several democratic campaigns, pardoned nothing but financial crime felons and drug dealers and is the epitome or wishy washy, but they see no wrong in that Yt (orange) man. 😂😂😂😂 Vivek, you can train with a speech coach all you want, you can kiss Donald’s butt all you want… but in their eyes, you are not them and won’t be accepted. You’d be better off joining a party that is more tolerable of your skin color and heritage, and work from within. Most folks are unhappy with both parties right now but only one party is at least willing to give diversity a try!
Vivek is right to point out that David is asking the wrong question. And David knows he’s asking the wrong question deliberately.
If you don’t know that you’ve got a lot of learning to do.
@@jimoharaRubbish. Pakman was asking for evidence: name specific person/s

Strong point in Vivek's favor, he can at least speak coherently.
The fact that that is somehow not a standard given for a presidential candidate nowadays is a sad state of affairs.
That's a very low bar. Someone who doesn't speak coherently shouldn't be running at all.
Vivek incessantly deflects not answering questions by digressing to irrelevant filibustering tangential narratives to dominate discussions. His eloquent quick talking is impressive to those unaware of his disingenuous conversational antics. Those listeners are aware summarily and rightfully so discount Vivek's specious narratives. Moreover, interviewers cognizant of Vivek's artifice assertively interject or interrupt Vivek to circumvent his duplicitous conversational ploys.

I choked @13:38 - The nerve of this dude to clown Nikki or DeSantis for licking Trump's boots when that is the EXACT thing he's been doing these past few months. When they asked who would pardon Trump during the debates, Vivek swung his hands up so fast he almost fractured his clavicle.
But he actually admitted something deeper, he recognizes the Republican is primarily American First, hence he doesn't go at Trump. Other than that...Vivek talked 70% of the time. I wish he was given more hard-hitting questions.
