Thanks for giving a fair interview. It is nice to see people from different sides have a conversation that you can actually learn from. This needs to be shown to the clowns over at TYT.
5:13 Denis: “I would cheat against a fascist.” That’s exactly what fascist would say (because they would falsely accuse their opponents of cheating to get into power). A lowercase democrat would never undermine the democratic process, because that ultimately would make it easier for fascists to get into power.
To me the problem with this argument is that it's easy to say that the correct thing to do was cheat so that Hitler lost, but it's easy to say that because it's hindsight bias. Nobody thought Hitler would do what he did when he was elected in 1929, so someone saying the election should be rigged because Hitler was a fascist was really just guessing. Rigging an election because you don't like a candidate (even if they may turn out to be the worst candidate in history) is still A a dangerous precedent to set.
Unless he discharged his brides for their adultery then he, according to Jesus, is himself an adulterer, not bound for Heaven. So why is he so obsessed with a club that rejected him 2,000 years ago? Guilt? Religious programming?
Dude I know I'm starting to like Mr Pac-Man. Trying to get all sides to everything because it is annoying being in an algorithmic echo chamber of conservative saying the same shit every single day.
Disagree that civility is needed in this case. We're not talking about apples and oranges. Democrats want rights for people without regards for whether they personally believe in them or not. People like Prager want an environment that divorces us from our fundamental tenet of separation of church and state, and allows "MORAL HIGHGROUND" to supersede human beings rights in a free and secular society. Accepting equal footing here as "civil and friendly" means accepting the removal of rights based on religious biases which is exactly what the current establishment GOP would want from Americans.

@@AnnettePaskiewicz you don’t need to be an expert to know that if a male feels like a girl then that is exactly what it it, a feeling. We need to be honest to kids as well as adults.
@@danlopez.3592 I don't care about his gender issues. I don't like his "university" minimizing slavery as a historical footnote and mis-characterizing present day racism.
Referring to acknowledgment that the 2020 election results were valid, Praeger says, "I don't know what that gains us." It gains us confidence in our American electoral process and the overwhelming majority of civil servants - many of them Republican - who certified those results. It gains us the victory of evidence and the rule of law over partisan baseless claims. It gains us respect for the peaceful transition of power.
It gives us a baseline of reality where obvious lies are not accepted... It's pretty hard to be "agnostic" when one side had a clear plan from the beginning to lie, executed those lies, and then tried to overturn the election based on lies. And then they call themselves patriots yet me being on the other side have never felt so patriotic in my life standing up to them.
Well said. Prager revealed that he is nothing but a pseudo-intellectual partisan hack. The evidence was presented to republican judges, and election results were certified by many republican officials. Prager is just like right wing media bcs he knows they would have done anything to find proof of dem election fraud, and they didn't.
It seems wild to me that he would call his stance "agnostic" which I assume he means it makes no difference what the truth is. It either is or it isn't true. It's not like, say, religion where you can take an agnostic stance on whether god exists and could never be really proven one way or another. It would seem to encourage this idea that truth is relative to the right. They think arguing their points loudly enough and with enough conviction, and they can make anything the truth.
Us Republicans have always been in favor of open discussion. We don't try to cancel anyone or hate ppl for their views. But yes. It is dangerous for the left to try and control politics or classy ppl as extremists for being pro Maga. Or try to push queer education in public schools without parental consent. Maybe the left can learn from these mistakes.
I agree, this was great. I listen to D Prager often and never heard of David. David was refreshing and I thought it was a great back and forth conversation. We need more of this!
Lmfao I agree, David is the WORST and I have no idea why people think he’s intelligent. He’s rude and obnoxious, 30 minutes is not enough time in the first place… but to say you want “sanity check” and then avoids any response or questions from Prager
Pakman: I don’t have a answer. So we’ll let the people/audience decide. -Yeah, leave it to Pakman’s Left wing audience that lives in a echo chamber decide.
@@breakerd1 Let's not overlook the fact that Pakman made this statement in response to Prager's "if one believes that Trump is a neo-n" scenario. He asked if the left would be morally bound to cheat if they believed this is true. Was Pakman supposed to counter by asking that if one believed that "Hillary should be locked up", would the right have been morally bound to cheat to keep her out of office? I agreed with plenty of Prager's points, but he was off in the woods here and Pakman was right to move on.
@breakerd1 I wish pakman did know more about the situation in other countries on trans issues cuz prager is exaggerating. There's not a ban to treat kids with gender dysphoria with gender affirming care. The most there is is extra precautions. Prager also left out that despite a trans women holding a national record, a cis woman still has her beat by nearly 500 lbs when it comes to the Guinness world record. You should look up Shaun's video on prageru and fatherhood. It exposes just how much of a bad faith liar prager can be.
I've never watched David before. I want to commend him for his conduct in this discussion. I will listen to him more. I want to listen to people that lean in the opposite direction I do. Thank you David.
You have obviously never watched Mr. Packman before. He is known as one of the most bad faith debaters in history. The reason he can appear to be so apathetic is because Prager is such a good guest.
Absolutely. And Trump was just talking about doing so again to try and "clear his name." But HIS LAWYERS (and nearly everyone else with half a brain) talked him out of it. I wonder why?
There's alot of people on the left having these convos, Sam Seder, TYT, destiny (even tho i dont like him), john Stewart. i think its a right wing talking point that liberals don't like having debate
5 minutes into interview - Prager: “Aren’t you morally obligated to cheat if you believe Trump is a fascist?” Pakman: “look, we’re running out of time here let’s move on” lol 😭
yup every liberal answer to any question that they know they’re just completely wrong 🤣 “UHH WHY DON’T WE MOVE ON / OK IM NOT GOING TO ARGUE WITH YOU” about something i know is wrong, so lets just ignore all the bullshit that i believe, and just bring it up when its convenient, but people on the “right” they’re just blah blah blah, any excuse to not look like the liberal cunts they are. If you think you’re so right about everything, why not stick to it, instead of running Everytime? 😮🤣
@@MrGgabber right, at least he doesn’t need to be told what he is to know it, unlike the liberal children of the corn 🤣 Don’t worry “your smart” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
why would you need to cheat against a fascist when all you have to do is point out all the unethical and unlawful actions that said fascist committed!!!! when someone cheats you in a boardgame does that mean that you have to cheat in order to win???? NO YOU CALL HIM/HER OUT FOR CHEATING!!!!!!!!
When will David admit he’s a covert homosexual? This 40 year old boy is contriving a “girlfriend and daughter” he doesn’t produce sperm did him and his boyfriend adopt? PakMan lied about his age he’s ostensibly born in March of 1983 he’s exactly 40 years old dressing tantamount to a surreptitiously homosexual 14 year old boy. NO INDUBITABLY HETEROSEXUAL MAN CAN BE A LEFTIST ITS PATENTLY IMPOSSIBLE! Only conservative bible-adhering men are HETEROSEXUAL. It’s an irrefragable fact.
It really is. I think it helps to show that on some issues everyone is a little closer than we think. Apart from supporting Trump, idk if he said a single thing that I disagree with. And that's very enlightening
Prager would conveniently worm his way out of your comment by simply stating something like "God put tempations in my path in order to have the opportunity to fail, learn and overcome. I repented so... still going to Heaven."
@GrammarRules728 I don't know what the Bible says. The last time I read it, I was about 11 or 12. Understandably. that's around the time I stopped reading comic books. I can just predict how the loudest "Christians" defend their actions and positions over the course of my 49 years dealing with their illogic.
I commend David for having people like Dennis on. Conversing with people of different opinion makes for a much more meaning conversation, having discussed all sides of an argument.
So why do Republicans point to the fact that Trump had more votes in 2020 and lost as a reason for suspicion. There was so much disdain for Trump that it caused people like myself to vote for the first time. Trump is so remarkably polarizing, that he causes the voter turnout to increase.
Exactly. I knew people on the far left. The type who don't vote because they think both parties are evil who went out and voted for Biden because they thought Trump was THAT bad.
You are right, it's so lame. Due to the pandemic, the requirements for mail-in ballots were loosened and many more people voted from the comfort of their home. It's as simple as that. Another version of that stupid argument is "But my rallies were so much larger!"
It's like saying the Patriots went to the super bowl back to back years, scored more points the second year and still lost, so that means the game must have been rigged. It's an incredible form of logic that only Trump supporters can come up with.
Nazi Germany was a reality, does it make it a good reality? Woke culture is a reality, does it make it a good one? This statement is a terrible argument. Ask Target, or Absolut. Go Woke = Go broke. If the majority of people in the US stands for wokism, their posture’s not reflected on the Free Market. Recently there’s been really bad outcomes related to the cancelling culture on social media promoted by people like George Soros. Where does he get all his money BTW? 😂😂😂😂
@@MarcillaSmith Implied. The left’s the one side of the political spectrum pushing the woke agenda. They tried it in films, sales dropped, they tried it on alcohol beverages, sales dropped and they keep trying it on both: mainstream and social media. The Bible’ s pretty clear. There’s the King James version, you don’t have to learn ancient Arameic. Jesus (Yashúa) loves us, but love isn’t always saying what people wanna hear. 🙏🏽🥺
@@MarcillaSmithI suppose David has quite depressing takes on the US overton window and his media context might confirm that. Sad he doesn't dare to speak from a progressive position or admit such opinions, if he has any
Chess, Equestrian, Sailing??? 😂😂😂 That’s world class mental gymnastics Pakman. And I love how when you hit a dead end in your argument you shift the conversation. You have become a pro at that. Doesn’t go unnoticed.
@@PanthraxIV Who said I’m confused? And exactly he’s listing things where nobody cares what your gender is. The ones he doesn’t mention is where the rubber meets the road.
@@bigboy4006Wow, that's refreshing. Its usually the progressives that do not want to debate a conservative. Good for you. Just like it has often been the progressives that unfriend people that speak or do anything conservatives do or say. lol. I am a center right independent, but I sadly lost a good friend who is very progressive. He is so emotional when it comes to politics. I miss the days when we don't care if our friends are liberal, conservative or in the middle. It shouldn't matter what political thoughts you have if you are good friends, or even casual friends. But it is what it is. These are the stupid times.
@@KieranTongThats hilarious. I myself am a former Conservative, and Progressives have always wanted to debate Conservatives, but it grows tiring to debate Conservatives because their arguments are paradoxical and circular.
@@KieranTongUnless one is a Truth-seeker, there is no interest in knowing the truth. This is what I find on the left: they're not concerned about getting to the truth on any subject. They have a hedonistic approach to everything. The world exists for their pleasure alone. Anyone coming in the way of their sensual desires is an enemy. You will notice they're most disturbed with topics like religion. This gives insight into why they detest traditional and conservative wisdom. It disturbs their conscience when moral rules are discussed. 😊
No. He claimed to be agnostic on the issue and spent the next 10 minutes explaining why Trump was cheated of an election, in his view. What a dishonest way of arguing. "I'm reasonable and now I'll tell you why everything I say is right, no matter the true facts." Facts are not his friend unless it's to twist them to his advantage.
Now wait just a second. Let's take a moment and give a hand to Mr. Prager for being brave and coming on the David Pakman show. That takes honor and courage. As far as I am concerned, he has a new supporter in me for showing such courage!!!
Massive evidence exists that nobody can actually show. I've lost so much respect for people I used to like in the last few years. Carolla, Rogan, Prager the list goes on and on..
Well, you see, what had happen was, all the evidence is super classified, much like hard evidence of aliens. In fact, they can only show it to you in the country's most secure SCIF, and only if you have the right clearance, which takes several years to obtain. But just beLIEve them, there is TON of evidence, that you refuse to see! *sarcasm
Now hold on a minute you guys. Let's take a moment and give a hand to Mr. Prager for being brave and coming on the David Pakman show. That takes honor and courage. As far as I am concerned, he has a new supporter in me for this courage.
In the beginning when Dennis says that the left or dems are restricting speech, I would ask one question, which ideology of people in America are banning books?
No, he didn't. You're making a ridiculously black and white statement. If you had any sort of routine caution in your thinking, you would never make such a ridiculous statement without massive justification. There's no sign that your judgment can be relied upon.
@@davidanderson6055 Thanks for the reply. Good point, but I must disagree. I would offer that one aspect of leadership is good decision making - not only for yourself, but for those around you as well. Infidelity can have emotional and financial implications on your loved ones. Choosing to cheat on a significant other not only highlights your dishonesty and lack of caring, but it also demonstrates poor decision making. If you can cheat in your relationships, what other things are you willing to do... thanks again for the reply!
@@greaper123 Dont forget the person in a position of power being vulnerable to coercion, blackmail, etc if any currently unknown infidelity's were discovered by someone willing to exert those pressures.
He just gave the most despicable racist a platform to spread more lies and disinformation and elevated a person who has no educational background only personal feelings to act as if he is some authority on the matter.. you were ill prepared and looked stupid.. this video only served to spread more disinformation go work for fox they will love you and you will fit right in
Which push back? They barely even got to talk about anything of substance. Amazing that David can talk to Dennis and not press him on any of the horrendous things he has said in his long career

I was waiting for real push back but David didn't want to debate. Only the Left has suppressed free speech? Yet he says the president who called the press the enemy of the people was his kind of president.
David, this interview was not in the "goes horribly wrong" category. This was a thoughtful, intelligent discussion you led. You are a master at handling the opposing side.
if this conversation went on longer, Smug Man Pakman would just be parroting the same smug face and line when he knows he's being out debated, which is "I don't think this is a good topic to stay on", or "we shouldn't stay on this topic too long".. He is so full of crap, it's so transparent in this video. So hilarious he kept changing the topic or even flat out denying the Lefts Belief System. If Mr. Prager wasn't such a nice man, he could have easily humiliated Pakman. Pakman is a lucky man in this instance
About what? He sounds like another religious zealot to me, blaming everything he doesn’t like on people not believing in God . The Right is pushing for a theocracy so they can make over the country according to their religious dogma
I shall admit, that was a fantastic discussion. No personal attacks, granting each others facts for the sake of the argument, and so on. Well done to both of these gentlemen.
Not quite. D Prager just issued typical unsubstantiated MAGA BS. I mean condescendingly saying “IF I were a democrat that loved America”, like dems have to be qualified “IF” they love America - while fully half of republicans are calling for civil war or like racism, election fraud and insurrection, not willing to firmly denounce them!
100%. Respect and civility for each others time to speak, their points and their differences. Congrats David and Dennis - we need more interactions like this between both sides.
What did you guys watch that I missed? It was very civil to the point that only Mr Prager got his opinions across. Go back and see how many things he said completely unopposed or how much time he spent talking versus how much David spent talking. Mr Prager got David to agree to a lot of what he said or at least it went unchallenged.
If God wasn't so lazy and took care of all that cancer and all those avalanches, I would have more time for my gaming seshes, but no he has to make things so tedious
Right (all you other commentors) because God has nothing better to do than sit there and make your life miserable. You probably can handle that fine on your own.
Dennis sees people moving away from ‘traditional’ values and thinks, “what’s wrong with people?” instead of asking, “what’s wrong with traditionalism that’s causing people to move away from it?”
There are so many things that are good for you that people deviate from, doesn’t make the problem the thing. Humans are the most fallible, it’s safe to say the problem is Us, especially if that thing has stood the test of time
Pakman ruins these segments with his "sanity check" nonsense. He invites people on who he knows question the legitimacy of the 2020 election, declared them insane by refusing to accept anything but a clear "no". In 2016, very many demcocrats would fail this "sanity check" if it was asked the other way around. In disingenuous and beneath him really.
With chess, the gender imbalance comes from the fact that the vast majority of chess players (more than 90%) are men. And the vast majority of people who are obsessed with chess and therefore become grandmasters is probably close to 99% men. That is why men perform so much better. There was one woman, Judit Polgar, who in the 90s became a top 10 chess player (overall not women's).
I just wish these halfwits from the Daily Wire wouldn't be so deathly afraid of debating guys like Pakman or Seder. There is so much golden content just waiting to happen.
@@jordantrujillo3324you must be joking right!? He won't even debate Steven Crowder! And this was not a debate, it was a conversation at best and that's only because despite trying really hard he couldn't make Denis look like a "crazy conspiracy nut conservative"!
@@jordantrujillo3324 Have you seen David’s behavior after this conversation? Calling Dennis disgusting and vile? I have never seen any Dailywire host do that to any of their guests - ever. Being nice and civilly disagreeing in their presence then the insults coming out after. And btw, Michael Knowles was on with him so that’s categorically false.
"If you go to school, get married, and have kids you will be happier" Yeah that's really been working out for all the miserable divorced people paying child support. Dennis doesn't realize that not every human is like him and wants the same thing. Some people don't want kids, some people don't want to get married. That isn't a moral issue.
They cling to 'traditional marriage' but the Bible's marriages weren't love stories they were purchased brides, slave brides and extra wives (concubines) captured in battle. Also a slave owner could force marriage amongst slaves to make more slaves. Is that what Dennis meant by referring to biblical marriage? No, of course they have a more modern view of it now. Their thinking on marriage has evolved significantly since the days of King Solomon and his 500 wives. They also don't point out that divorce is destroying their fantasies of marriage bliss, not same sex marriage equality. They don't ban divorce in red States though. Wonder why? Speaking of unholy alliances, Representative Ms. Marjorie Taylor of Georgia has yet to drop 'Greene' from her name even though Mr. Greene divorced her, calling her an adulterer. Is that traditional of her? Ah, hypocrites...
I think it's pretty telling that he thinks he's morally obligated to cheat to combat what he views as evil. Says a lot about the credibility of PragerU.
Not only with the election but also lying about trans healthcare. If only David had demonstrated that by Dennis's own logic, he couldn't claim his side as honest because he's already demonstrated his moral opposition.
@@karllaur3866 This ^^^. I thought the exact same thing. Terrible argument. People who call Trump a “Hitler wannabe”, are doing so because they realize he is capable of, in some fashion, being just that. A modern day dictator. He doesn’t have to open concentration camps and annihilate a mass population of people to still be a Hitler-like individual. Because we wrap them all into the same category… bad is bad. Common sense is easy if you have it.
@@karllaur3866you couldn’t have cheated against Hitler because it was a dictatorship 🤦 and he ran a very different platform at the beginning of his political career then what they ended with
What Dennis Prager was describing about the therapist convincing an individual with gender dysphoria that their gender identity is incorrect is essenctially conversion therapy. The job of the therapist is to navigate the gender dysphoria of the patient and determine if this patient meets the diagnostic criteria for the psychological disorder.
@@amelliamendel2227 of course not. They think they are "normal", and hence they could never be persuaded in the same way they think queer and trans people could be. That's it. That's the origin of their confidence in conversion therapy. We are "abnormal", and hence, can be brought back to the "norm" through treatment. And all the failures so far are because we didn't try hard enough.
He's not agnostic. No conservative can ever say straight out say that Biden won fairly. He has to do the song and dance of injecting doubt he doesn't really believe into the issue or be exiled like Cheney, kinzinger, and others and kiss his grift for $$ goodbye.
How do you feel about making Florida Ban the Bible from religious schools? Since there’s 25 mentions of homosexuality in the Bible it should be removed from every classroom in the State of Florida, regardless of religious affiliation of the school. Also, God supposedly condemned slavery at least 3 separate times and was used to justify slavery in this country, it promotes the idea that men have the right to use violence as a method of control over women. It contains numerous references of sexual violence against women either expressly commanded, condoned, or threatened by God. The Bible promotes racism, genocide, and mass murder. There is a significant public interest to not promoting this book to children. Also, if anyone’s concerned about a indoctrination here’s some numbers for you: from 1950-2020 (70 years) 330,000 children (that we know of) were abused by Catholic priests and around 80% of the victims were boys. In response, 848 priests were defrocked and 2,572 suffered lesser sanctions. Calling the church sex abuse scandal a “leprosy in our house,” Pope Francis tells an Italian newspaper that 1 in 50 Catholic clerics are pedophiles. Not were, ARE as in right now in 2023. Yes, the Pope stated publicly that 1 in 50 clerics are active child predators. Sunday school is literally grooming and indoctrination by definition, not to mention the word's etymology. I'm interested in your opinion on this book that's unsuitable for children, should it be banned why or why not?
I hate how Dennis says there are both America “loving” and “hating” democrats without any sort of acknowledgment that there are people on the right who “hate” the America they live in right now that often doesn’t even try to the minimum for others. Kudos to David for having that kind of patience.
Anyway framing public sentiment toward America as a love/hate binary is a lazy habit. I love aspects of it, hate other aspects -who doesn't, _really_ ? From what I"ve seen it's usually white-haired people making this accusation, because it's based on outdated paranoia, as with the "Red Scare," and/or its' past use as a coercion tool for getting young men to join the military (or not dodge or protest the draft -to do so meant you "hated" America). But at some point too many people became ... I'll say it, WOKE ... to this silly version of peer pressure, that by the time 9/11 happened it was all too clear what a flimsy sentiment it was, with people who wanted to "prove" that they "loved" America doing so by having made-in-China American flags on their cars for a few years. Even if someone truly hates America a lot more than they love it, that doesn't mean they're a bad American; it could simply mean they wish they could live somewhere else but don't have the means to go, OR they know America just has yet to reach its' real potential.
my friend, there is a difference between hating/disliking the current political state of a country and hating/disliking the core values that said country was founded on and has stood by for 250 years.
Because Reps love their country's history and soul, not the situation Dems have put it in whilst many Dems just purely hate America, so, no. You're wrong.
@@notfiveo I don't believe in any God, but I disagree with your logic. If humans are the standard of "perfect", is it not possible for humans to purposefully create something that is designed to fail, or not be perfect. We(humans) do this all the time, could a perfect being not design something that is imperfect as well? Does God(Christian God) not actively/purposefully destroy things in the Bible? God did purposefully create the tree of knowledge, which was designed to ruin a perfect universe. The tree of knowledge could almost be viewed as a virus, that once eaten is unleashed upon the rest of the system(universe).

On the topic of marriage, it gives us important rights and responsibilities. For instance, inheritance rights, rights to Social Security, the right to stay with your spouse past visiting hours in the hospital, the right to make medical decisions if a spouse is incapacitated, etc. It is a legal contract that matters a lot.
This was a master class on how to conduct an interview. I think even Dennis was impressed by David's calm and respectful approach. I voted for the first time in 2020 against Trump, as I'm sure many did. He should never occupy the White House again! Wishing Larry Elder was a candidate and disliking Cris Christie said it all.
@@patricklandon7476 I guess even 'progressives' can actually make progress 🤣🤣... eventually, in theory, the could even stop being progressives.

'we need to double down'... and we need more of your money to do it... a lot more. Most of them still think Marxism and Communism can work if they just give power to the 'right' people. Castro died worth over $900 MILLION.. Chavez was worth over $1 BILLION... maybe they'll get it 'right' next time... may God help us.

I don't agree with Dennis on pretty much anything but it does help me reminisce on how politics used to be, just talking and not getting angry about things you disagree with. It maybe isn't perfect but it's a lot better than just yelling and disagreeing, it has a chance for a real exchange of ideas
No one had the echo chambers like they do now. They were pretty much forced to hear different views, and to get a pretty good civics education. When you are in an echo chamber, everything outside of it seems dangerous, so they feel they have to fight all the time, and are hysterical about everything.
He doesn't push back nearly hard enough nor often enough. It's starting to really bother me because it just gives these whack jobs another platform to spout their nonsense.
The world needs more of this. Two people that disagree being civil to one another. Occasionally, even finding some common ground. I commend you, David, for having Dennis on to have this exchange.
I don't care for it being civil. Dennis pushes propaganda for children which is now shown in Florida schools with blatant lies in it. Fuck him. You would applaud civility while he rounds up "degenerates" into camps.

Having a conversation with a Nazi is not something to applaud. Trump did the same, and we found that to be reprehensible. David allowing this monster on his show is also reprehensible.
A fascinating interview David. What is the best thing about it is how both of you - something we don’t see often these days - show respect for each other’s views even while totally disagreeing, but also recognising there are some things you can each agree with the other on.
David is a master , at side stepping every single question where he has no logical answer too. David : " Hey Dennis , let me ask you this " Dennis " Gives a great answer " David " Ok , I don't think we need to waste time on this question , my Gotcha didn't work again "
EXACTLY!! That's exactly what I was thinking the whole time i was watching. He didn't like the fact that the subject was changed, brings it back around and then wants to change it.
He didn't make any point there. He asked a hypothetical question whether people should cheat in order to beat someone they think is a fascist. Pakman recognized that as a distracting hypothetical, and redirected back to actual practical policies, polls and so on.
@@nsbd90nowIt was a great point. Look at the assassination attempt today. The ultimate point is that dems and progressives are complete idiots making Trump out to be the end of democracy if he’s elected. Pakman is a world salad moron imo
I’m a staunch conservative, but very grateful to see a civil exchange between vastly different points of view. This is a template of how we can seek to understand each others that differ politically from us, but share the desire to see this country be the best it can be!
Yessss!!!! Let's have the conversation not just we said this and we are right. Let's talk and show receipts to show the truth and get to the bottom. My issue is the left tens to just say no I don't care what your facts say I found a research paper by some professor that said otherwise with no accreditation behind it
@@tg4480 there’s too much religious thinking in the world these days. The Jesus story exists to give us hope for an afterlife, not as a policy document.
@@tkat6442yep, pseudo-intellectualism for people that recently discovered that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican or that Frederick Douglass is, in fact, no longer alive.
David Parkman is an incredibly talented interviewer. Edited to apologize and to point out that “Parkman” is an autocorrect and that David’s last name is actually Porkman. 💟
He’s way to nice to these fascists and doesn’t exactly punch back. (Full disclaimer: I wouldn’t be able to do a better job myself) But that’s why they agree to come on his show I guess.
David was far too nice and respectful to a man who deserves no respect. TYT were rougher on him a while back and he whined endlessly about Ana and how mean she is.
@@JimmyfromPhilly1 Since we know that, why does the right always whine about us teaching children to hate white people, when we're not? They are the ones that insist we're trying to teach children to hate America and white people, when we're just teaching about the truth of history.
@@nikita-dh5je normally I would agree, I would rather cut Prager's heart out and serve it to his children than have a conversation with him, but one of the biggest problems with the culture war is that there is no honest discourse between the two sides. While I am fully aware that it is mostly because the right is so dishonest, there is also dishonesty on our own side and some of the topics covered in this vid are a good example of that. David is very reasonable but he is not the majority on the left. There are people on our side of the fence that will just lie and distort facts to defend their values and when we don't knowledge and stamp them out then it ruins our credibility with everyone else because we become guilty by association. It is imperative that intelligent honest and rational people like David talk to these assholes because he's a good representative for us that will make some on their side realize we are not all insane.
I won't lie. My finger was hovering over the button to duck out of this one, bc I wasn't at all sure I had the stomach for it. I made it through, though, and you did a GREAT job with him, David!!
Not this kind of conversation that creates the impression of civility between two guys at opposite ends of the political spectrum but one of them, Pakman, does virtually nothing to challenge the egregious lies and distortions of his odious guest. Prager and his organization are purveyors of right-wing disinformation, historically warped commentaries and outright lies that undermine our nation and its fragile democracy. There's no point in having such a person on the show unless you're prepared to confront him with several key examples of how he does that.
I disagree with Pakman on quite a lot of things, and find him biased to the point of being nauseating..probably not unlike how many feel about Prager. However, I do think that when you take two intelligent people, even from clearly opposing sides, it brings out the best in both. With the echo chamber gone, the level of annoyance goes down for me almost immediately, assuming we are dealing with two people who are willing to listen and speak to each other respectfully.
@@dr.scanlan6112 That's not what happened in this conversation that was woefully lacking in many ways. See my comment above yours for more on why I think Pakman failed miserably in his engagement with Prager. Respect is fine, but failing to challenge outright lies and warped views just to appear collegial is doing a disservice to the audience.
My wife and I were just discussing how damn hard it was to follow the high school, get a job, get married, have a kid plan was, we struggled hard, it's been 37 years but most of our friends that followed the same plan failed and some spectacularly with kids left in the mess.
Yes I tried to follow that plan and fell flat on my face. In reality, everyone should be able to choose their own path. He thinks it's the best way for EVERYONE. Nothing is the best thing for everyone. One size does not fit all.
Who was the guy that was running for office and said he thinks this is a good time for dictatorship, so we the people can be made, by force, to 'accept their morals' and godly way of life? This is the game plan, force everyone to live exactly as the bible thumpers decide. Except them of course, they can lie and fornicate and steal etc., because they are special 🤮
98.5% of people who follow those rules are not in poverty. This has been proven repeatedly. I don't know what metric you determine to be "struggling hard", but I doubt it's extreme poverty
Agreed. The comment section is proof that this audience is just as blindly biased as conservative audiences. Dennis had a lot of decent points that even David didn’t want to touch.
@@Silver_Somethingit's sad that anyone would consider David or his audience left in this century, there have been more progressive takes than David's in the 1880s (implemented on national level, minde you)
@@Silver_Something Nope Dennis had no valid points (he doesn't know anything and couldn't reason his way out of a paper bag) And addressed anything worth addressing and showed how clueless Prager is.That's not biased it's a fact.
Mr. Prager's view is more aligned with "I prefer TRUTH over agreement." Mr. Pakman is fluid with his views - to get agreement. Mr. Prager is more solid because he is pursuing the truth.
@@panhandlejake6200 clarity focused on LGBTQ obsessively and that’s an imperative for whom, for what? I say for the vacuous looking for a hot button issue, which it’s not
@@diamon4u OK - take their early discussion on the '20 election results. Mr. Prager cited clear evidence (ex: Trump got more votes in his second election than the first, he won the swing states and did not get elected ) that never happened previously which justifies questioning the 'strange' election results. Mr. Prager backs up his views - on the other hand, Mr. Pakman waffles.
@@panhandlejake6200 When "the truth is agreeing with my viewpoint"... it's not the truth. Just agreement on your viewpoint. BTW, Prager cares little for the truth. If you study history... his viewpoint... or as you call it "truth" is laughable. Marriage... even today... is a social contract designed by that society at that time. It's not "here is America in the 20th century is how it's always been." So dumb... sincerely - World History BTW, I've seen many of his twisted history... very cherry picked to mislead so many. This is on top the already poor and misleading knowledge we have on American History. Now, I know you Google this... but are any of these wars "made up: "French & Indian War", "Spanish-American War"; "Mexican-American War" and/or "American-Indians Wars." I use this to illustrate to college and adult students how little they know and were taught American history... which is why Prager can pray on peoples ignorance.
My problem with them is the fact that they spend to much time on culture issues. The real problems that affect us all are the economic policies. Culture wars are a distraction.
@@AR0ACEthat’s because you are a mental weakling and you can’t handle anything outside your leftist bubble. People on the Right have no issue listening to people on the Left….they don’t lose their minds with the opinions of those on the Left.
@@AR0ACE Freedom of speech allows you to say that. Although it sounds like you’re doing hate speech😂 Are you censoring Dennis? 🤣 jajaja. You sound like a social media algorithm.
This wasn't a conversation. This was Dennis tap dancing around literally every single topic, giving non-answers and throwing strawmen out desperately by the dozens.
He starts off by asking Prager if he's insane if he thinks that Trump was cheated out of the 2020 election. This was far from a conversation between two grown ups. Pakman is a disengenuos manchild... "If you think the 2020 election was rigged, then you have failed my insanity test, and therefore anything legitimate you say for the next half hour can be dismissed as a moot point... because according to my test... you're insane!"
Someone on the left: Brings up any topic relating from health care to border patrol. Someone on the right: *Starts solving the Davinci code to try and loop it back to Trans people*
Have you considered that David chose to keep the discussion about topics that he and his guest had diverse opinions on? If we want to hear guests just confirming the hosts opinion, we could tune into another (less interesting) channel.
Thanks for giving a fair interview. It is nice to see people from different sides have a conversation that you can actually learn from. This needs to be shown to the clowns over at TYT.
5:13 Denis: “I would cheat against a fascist.” That’s exactly what fascist would say (because they would falsely accuse their opponents of cheating to get into power). A lowercase democrat would never undermine the democratic process, because that ultimately would make it easier for fascists to get into power.
To me the problem with this argument is that it's easy to say that the correct thing to do was cheat so that Hitler lost, but it's easy to say that because it's hindsight bias. Nobody thought Hitler would do what he did when he was elected in 1929, so someone saying the election should be rigged because Hitler was a fascist was really just guessing. Rigging an election because you don't like a candidate (even if they may turn out to be the worst candidate in history) is still A a dangerous precedent to set.
Meanwhile WANNABE DICKTATOR -trumpo KNOWS he Himself is a FASCIST- and why he likes to call everyone else one.
Only an idiot would accuse Dennis of being a facist
I'm pretty sure he meant for a fascist.
Agreed.
Dennis believes in marriage so much he’s been married 3 times. What a champ.
Unless he discharged his brides for their adultery then he, according to Jesus, is himself an adulterer, not bound for Heaven. So why is he so obsessed with a club that rejected him 2,000 years ago? Guilt? Religious programming?
no, he is a squacking crow flapping his mouth for a false Judaism belief. A Jim Jones type fella of small intellect and no basis of reality@@Kastled5

Thank you David. It seems to me you conducted this interview with
respect for your guest as well as not giving up your principles. Much appreciated!
Watch him with Mike Pillow. Exceptional performance as an interviewer. I think TYT even shouted him out.@@ayylmao113
Disagree that civility is needed in this case. We're not talking about apples and oranges. Democrats want rights for people without regards for whether they personally believe in them or not. People like Prager want an environment that divorces us from our fundamental tenet of separation of church and state, and allows "MORAL HIGHGROUND" to supersede human beings rights in a free and secular society. Accepting equal footing here as "civil and friendly" means accepting the removal of rights based on religious biases which is exactly what the current establishment GOP would want from Americans.
You are better than I am for interviewing him. I can't stand this guy.
Pakman is a jerk but he handled himself better this time.
What did he say about gender that you disagree with
@@danlopez.3592he thinks he knows all about gender to the point of not even recognizing children who feel different and perhaps are. His Mrknowitall really bothers me.
@@AnnettePaskiewicz you don’t need to be an expert to know that if a male feels like a girl then that is exactly what it it, a feeling. We need to be honest to kids as well as adults.
@@danlopez.3592 I don't care about his gender issues. I don't like his "university" minimizing slavery as a historical footnote and mis-characterizing present day racism.
Referring to acknowledgment that the 2020 election results were valid, Praeger says, "I don't know what that gains us." It gains us confidence in our American electoral process and the overwhelming majority of civil servants - many of them Republican - who certified those results. It gains us the victory of evidence and the rule of law over partisan baseless claims. It gains us respect for the peaceful transition of power.
It gives us a baseline of reality where obvious lies are not accepted... It's pretty hard to be "agnostic" when one side had a clear plan from the beginning to lie, executed those lies, and then tried to overturn the election based on lies. And then they call themselves patriots yet me being on the other side have never felt so patriotic in my life standing up to them.
Yesyesyes!!!
Well said. Prager revealed that he is nothing but a pseudo-intellectual partisan hack. The evidence was presented to republican judges, and election results were certified by many republican officials. Prager is just like right wing media bcs he knows they would have done anything to find proof of dem election fraud, and they didn't.
...but the Left failed, so, no.
It seems wild to me that he would call his stance "agnostic" which I assume he means it makes no difference what the truth is. It either is or it isn't true. It's not like, say, religion where you can take an agnostic stance on whether god exists and could never be really proven one way or another. It would seem to encourage this idea that truth is relative to the right. They think arguing their points loudly enough and with enough conviction, and they can make anything the truth.
Really good conversation in good faith we need more of this nowdays 👏
Not really good faith when Prager keeps telling ridiculous lies about fictional things that happen in European countries
This type of conversational tone is the only way we can get out of the dangerous situation we are in. Great job guys.
Us Republicans have always been in favor of open discussion. We don't try to cancel anyone or hate ppl for their views.
But yes. It is dangerous for the left to try and control politics or classy ppl as extremists for being pro Maga. Or try to push queer education in public schools without parental consent.
Maybe the left can learn from these mistakes.
PragerU lost a huge fraction of its subscriber count ever since youtube crackdown on fake accounts. A fake university with fake subscribers. lmao

@@mtzmtz37I'm impressed how this went.
Great Job Dennis! David, not so much. he just changed subjects when cornered
David: What do you think about this?
Dennis: Starts to answer..
David: I don't think we should spend our time on this
Lmfao I agree, David is the WORST and I have no idea why people think he’s intelligent. He’s rude and obnoxious, 30 minutes is not enough time in the first place… but to say you want “sanity check” and then avoids any response or questions from Prager
That's the point in any conversation where Pakman knows he's lost the point.
Pakman: I don’t have a answer. So we’ll let the people/audience decide.
-Yeah, leave it to Pakman’s Left wing audience that lives in a echo chamber decide.
@@breakerd1 Let's not overlook the fact that Pakman made this statement in response to Prager's "if one believes that Trump is a neo-n" scenario. He asked if the left would be morally bound to cheat if they believed this is true. Was Pakman supposed to counter by asking that if one believed that "Hillary should be locked up", would the right have been morally bound to cheat to keep her out of office? I agreed with plenty of Prager's points, but he was off in the woods here and Pakman was right to move on.
@breakerd1 I wish pakman did know more about the situation in other countries on trans issues cuz prager is exaggerating. There's not a ban to treat kids with gender dysphoria with gender affirming care. The most there is is extra precautions. Prager also left out that despite a trans women holding a national record, a cis woman still has her beat by nearly 500 lbs when it comes to the Guinness world record. You should look up Shaun's video on prageru and fatherhood. It exposes just how much of a bad faith liar prager can be.
I genuinely enjoyed the debate. Your ability to “think on your feet” AND keep the discussion civil far exceeded that which I am capable.
it was not a debate, an interview
@Somalicool_123girl yeah, very disappointed that David barely pushed back on any of Prager's bs.
I've never watched David before. I want to commend him for his conduct in this discussion. I will listen to him more. I want to listen to people that lean in the opposite direction I do. Thank you David.
You have obviously never watched Mr. Packman before. He is known as one of the most bad faith debaters in history. The reason he can appear to be so apathetic is because Prager is such a good guest.

David you did great in this interview, I have listened Dennis since the 90s and you really respect your guests and your audience!!! God bless you !!!
5 minutes into interview - Prager: “Aren’t you morally obligated to cheat if you believe Trump is a fascist?” Pakman: “look, we’re running out of time here let’s move on” lol 😭
That was funny
yup every liberal answer to any question that they know they’re just completely wrong 🤣
“UHH WHY DON’T WE MOVE ON / OK IM NOT GOING TO ARGUE WITH YOU” about something i know is wrong, so lets just ignore all the bullshit that i believe, and just bring it up when its convenient,
but people on the “right” they’re just blah blah blah, any excuse to not look like the liberal cunts they are.

why would you need to cheat against a fascist when all you have to do is point out all the unethical and unlawful actions that said fascist committed!!!! when someone cheats you in a boardgame does that mean that you have to cheat in order to win???? NO YOU CALL HIM/HER OUT FOR CHEATING!!!!!!!!
Great interview, David! Bring more right wingers on. It’s illuminating.
David Killed this slob in this interview. He just talked his bullshit and Parkman saw past that
Bring on Joe Rogan!
It’s more like humiliating for them because they are terrible
When will David admit he’s a covert homosexual? This 40 year old boy is contriving a “girlfriend and daughter” he doesn’t produce sperm did him and his boyfriend adopt? PakMan lied about his age he’s ostensibly born in March of 1983 he’s exactly 40 years old dressing tantamount to a surreptitiously homosexual 14 year old boy. NO INDUBITABLY HETEROSEXUAL MAN CAN BE A LEFTIST ITS PATENTLY IMPOSSIBLE! Only conservative bible-adhering men are HETEROSEXUAL. It’s an irrefragable fact.
It really is. I think it helps to show that on some issues everyone is a little closer than we think. Apart from supporting Trump, idk if he said a single thing that I disagree with. And that's very enlightening
Dennis obviously doesn’t have a problem with adultery or infidelity. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able even look in the mirror.
Prager would conveniently worm his way out of your comment by simply stating something like "God put tempations in my path in order to have the opportunity to fail, learn and overcome. I repented so... still going to Heaven."
@GrammarRules728 I don't know what the Bible says. The last time I read it, I was about 11 or 12. Understandably. that's around the time I stopped reading comic books. I can just predict how the loudest "Christians" defend their actions and positions over the course of my 49 years dealing with their illogic.
@FactsMatter999 So, No True Scotsman. Got it. 🙄
I’m a conservative constitutionalist and I enjoyed segment with the Great Dennis. David thank you for your good faith answers.
I commend David for having people like Dennis on. Conversing with people of different opinion makes for a much more meaning conversation, having discussed all sides of an argument.
So why do Republicans point to the fact that Trump had more votes in 2020 and lost as a reason for suspicion. There was so much disdain for Trump that it caused people like myself to vote for the first time. Trump is so remarkably polarizing, that he causes the voter turnout to increase.
Exactly. I knew people on the far left. The type who don't vote because they think both parties are evil who went out and voted for Biden because they thought Trump was THAT bad.
EXACTLY! It was the biggest voter turnout in history! And not just for Trump! It's simple math!
You are right, it's so lame. Due to the pandemic, the requirements for mail-in ballots were loosened and many more people voted from the comfort of their home. It's as simple as that. Another version of that stupid argument is "But my rallies were so much larger!"
It's like saying the Patriots went to the super bowl back to back years, scored more points the second year and still lost, so that means the game must have been rigged. It's an incredible form of logic that only Trump supporters can come up with.
The right is incapable of imagining any reality outside their own viewpoint as valid.
"The first thing people have to do is recognize reality."
Okay Dennis, you're welcome to start any time.
Nazi Germany was a reality, does it make it a good reality? Woke culture is a reality, does it make it a good one? This statement is a terrible argument. Ask Target, or Absolut. Go Woke = Go broke. If the majority of people in the US stands for wokism, their posture’s not reflected on the Free Market. Recently there’s been really bad outcomes related to the cancelling culture on social media promoted by people like George Soros. Where does he get all his money BTW? 😂😂😂😂
Yes, agreed.
Speaking of which, where is the left winger mentioned in the title?

@@KieranTongUnless one is a Truth-seeker, there is no interest in knowing the truth. This is what I find on the left: they're not concerned about getting to the truth on any subject. They have a hedonistic approach to everything. The world exists for their pleasure alone. Anyone coming in the way of their sensual desires is an enemy.
You will notice they're most disturbed with topics like religion. This gives insight into why they detest traditional and conservative wisdom. It disturbs their conscience when moral rules are discussed. 😊
He did not exactly pass with flying colors on the sanity check!
😂
No. He claimed to be agnostic on the issue and spent the next 10 minutes explaining why Trump was cheated of an election, in his view. What a dishonest way of arguing. "I'm reasonable and now I'll tell you why everything I say is right, no matter the true facts." Facts are not his friend unless it's to twist them to his advantage.
Now wait just a second. Let's take a moment and give a hand to Mr. Prager for being brave and coming on the David Pakman show. That takes honor and courage. As far as I am concerned, he has a new supporter in me for showing such courage!!!
Ask if he believes in sky daddy.. if "yes" then crazy . Religion is fiction, all religion is cancer

To be fair the left banned Dr Seuss. Which to that I say FUCK THEM. But, I think the right banning books on the level it is to be an abomination.
Yeah, I think Pakman missed a lot of chances to push back.
Because far right are always about censorship but preach free speech aslong as you agree with them 🤣
@rexx9496 I think the problem is if you push back too hard, he'll just hang up. If you be nice, you get to catch him in lies and double speak.
The reich wing only care about "free speech" when it comes to their hate speech, bigoted propaganda, and spreading of dangerous misinformation.
Prager obliterated Pakman, revived him and then obliterated him over and over again.
He did if you believe everything he said.
The only thing Prager obliterates is reality.
No, he didn't. You're making a ridiculously black and white statement. If you had any sort of routine caution in your thinking, you would never make such a ridiculous statement without massive justification. There's no sign that your judgment can be relied upon.
Weird take
I've heard about David Pakman for years, but lately I've been watching his videos. Excellent interviewer and really quite fair and civil.

Accepting equal footing here as "civil and friendly" means accepting the removal of rights based on religious biases which is exactly what the current establishment GOP would want from Americans.
I was waiting for real push back but David didn't want to debate. Only the Left has suppressed free speech? Yet he says the president who called the press the enemy of the people was his kind of president.
Pakman crumbled
David, this interview was not in the "goes horribly wrong" category. This was a thoughtful, intelligent discussion you led. You are a master at handling the opposing side.
@mickeyfickey1252 Sure, buddy.
@mickeyfickey1252 Whatever you need to tell yourself buddy 😆
He was handled. Don’t get it twisted
My only regret is that this wasn’t a two hour conversation. We need much more of this.
with two hours pakman might have been able to think of some more gender neutral sports hahahaha bowling and darts ahahahahah and chess
No one "needs" more conversation involving a bigoted lard arse like Praeger (unless you're into bigotry)
if this conversation went on longer, Smug Man Pakman would just be parroting the same smug face and line when he knows he's being out debated, which is "I don't think this is a good topic to stay on", or "we shouldn't stay on this topic too long".. He is so full of crap, it's so transparent in this video. So hilarious he kept changing the topic or even flat out denying the Lefts Belief System. If Mr. Prager wasn't such a nice man, he could have easily humiliated Pakman. Pakman is a lucky man in this instance

About what? He sounds like another religious zealot to me, blaming everything he doesn’t like on people not believing in God . The Right is pushing for a theocracy so they can make over the country according to their religious dogma
I shall admit, that was a fantastic discussion. No personal attacks, granting each others facts for the sake of the argument, and so on. Well done to both of these gentlemen.
Prager is a sexist lieing nazi scumbag
I agree, well done
Not quite. D Prager just issued typical unsubstantiated MAGA BS. I mean condescendingly saying “IF I were a democrat that loved America”, like dems have to be qualified “IF” they love America - while fully half of republicans are calling for civil war or like racism, election fraud and insurrection, not willing to firmly denounce them!
100%. Respect and civility for each others time to speak, their points and their differences. Congrats David and Dennis - we need more interactions like this between both sides.
What did you guys watch that I missed? It was very civil to the point that only Mr Prager got his opinions across. Go back and see how many things he said completely unopposed or how much time he spent talking versus how much David spent talking. Mr Prager got David to agree to a lot of what he said or at least it went unchallenged.
“It’s our job to fight cancer and live with avalanches.” Lol

A very strange comment indeed. What do we get paid for this "job" I wonder?
Isn’t “original sin” a great hand-waving technique?
And apparently it's God's job to sit there and intentionally make our lives a living hell for his own amusement. Because he loves us. Right.
Right (all you other commentors) because God has nothing better to do than sit there and make your life miserable. You probably can handle that fine on your own.
Dennis sees people moving away from ‘traditional’ values and thinks, “what’s wrong with people?” instead of asking, “what’s wrong with traditionalism that’s causing people to move away from it?”
Good question
He’ll never question it
Yup yup! His brain just doesn't function that way.
There are so many things that are good for you that people deviate from, doesn’t make the problem the thing. Humans are the most fallible, it’s safe to say the problem is Us, especially if that thing has stood the test of time
That requires a modicum of intelligence.
So he fails the sanity check. LOL
Pakman ruins these segments with his "sanity check" nonsense. He invites people on who he knows question the legitimacy of the 2020 election, declared them insane by refusing to accept anything but a clear "no". In 2016, very many demcocrats would fail this "sanity check" if it was asked the other way around. In disingenuous and beneath him really.
With chess, the gender imbalance comes from the fact that the vast majority of chess players (more than 90%) are men. And the vast majority of people who are obsessed with chess and therefore become grandmasters is probably close to 99% men. That is why men perform so much better. There was one woman, Judit Polgar, who in the 90s became a top 10 chess player (overall not women's).
Wow, a civil conversation between right and left. Glad to see it. Nice job David.

"If you go to school, get married, and have kids you will be happier"
Yeah that's really been working out for all the miserable divorced people paying child support. Dennis doesn't realize that not every human is like him and wants the same thing. Some people don't want kids, some people don't want to get married. That isn't a moral issue.
He was so happy being married, he did it 4 times 🤣
He wants to control people
They cling to 'traditional marriage' but the Bible's marriages weren't love stories they were purchased brides, slave brides and extra wives (concubines) captured in battle. Also a slave owner could force marriage amongst slaves to make more slaves. Is that what Dennis meant by referring to biblical marriage? No, of course they have a more modern view of it now. Their thinking on marriage has evolved significantly since the days of King Solomon and his 500 wives. They also don't point out that divorce is destroying their fantasies of marriage bliss, not same sex marriage equality. They don't ban divorce in red States though. Wonder why? Speaking of unholy alliances, Representative Ms. Marjorie Taylor of Georgia has yet to drop 'Greene' from her name even though Mr. Greene divorced her, calling her an adulterer. Is that traditional of her? Ah, hypocrites...
@@cbeaucrawfordand nobody talks about the hypocrisy of the bible except atheists
I agree with a few of his points here and there during the interview, but could not agree with you more on this one.
I think it's pretty telling that he thinks he's morally obligated to cheat to combat what he views as evil. Says a lot about the credibility of PragerU.
Not only with the election but also lying about trans healthcare. If only David had demonstrated that by Dennis's own logic, he couldn't claim his side as honest because he's already demonstrated his moral opposition.
It's noteworthy that his side thinks the democratic party is evil...
you wouldn't have cheated against Hitler? What a terrible point.
@@karllaur3866 This ^^^.
I thought the exact same thing. Terrible argument. People who call Trump a “Hitler wannabe”, are doing so because they realize he is capable of, in some fashion, being just that. A modern day dictator. He doesn’t have to open concentration camps and annihilate a mass population of people to still be a Hitler-like individual.

What Dennis Prager was describing about the therapist convincing an individual with gender dysphoria that their gender identity is incorrect is essenctially conversion therapy. The job of the therapist is to navigate the gender dysphoria of the patient and determine if this patient meets the diagnostic criteria for the psychological disorder.
So... every accusation is a confession?
Of course. But he's a know-nothing dressed up and posturing as an intellect. What a joke.
Absolutely correct. What he’s advocating is literal conversion therapy. It’s never worked in history. That’s why therapists don’t do it. It’s cruel.
I've always wondered why a straight would think conversion therapy would work, do they think it would work on them?
@@amelliamendel2227 of course not. They think they are "normal", and hence they could never be persuaded in the same way they think queer and trans people could be. That's it. That's the origin of their confidence in conversion therapy. We are "abnormal", and hence, can be brought back to the "norm" through treatment. And all the failures so far are because we didn't try hard enough.
Prager: “The first thing you have to do is accept reality.”
Also Prager: “I’m agnostic on the election results.. but GA maybe..”
Also also Prager: "I made a University. It's not a University though."
They should have respected ballot law laid down by the legislature.
He's not agnostic. No conservative can ever say straight out say that Biden won fairly. He has to do the song and dance of injecting doubt he doesn't really believe into the issue or be exiled like Cheney, kinzinger, and others and kiss his grift for $$ goodbye.
I love the confusion on Pakman's face when the answers given to his questions did not suit his Democrat biased views - Ha ha
How do you feel about making Florida Ban the Bible from religious schools? Since there’s 25 mentions of homosexuality in the Bible it should be removed from every classroom in the State of Florida, regardless of religious affiliation of the school. Also, God supposedly condemned slavery at least 3 separate times and was used to justify slavery in this country, it promotes the idea that men have the right to use violence as a method of control over women. It contains numerous references of sexual violence against women either expressly commanded, condoned, or threatened by God. The Bible promotes racism, genocide, and mass murder. There is a significant public interest to not promoting this book to children.
Also, if anyone’s concerned about a indoctrination here’s some numbers for you: from 1950-2020 (70 years) 330,000 children (that we know of) were abused by Catholic priests and around 80% of the victims were boys. In response, 848 priests were defrocked and 2,572 suffered lesser sanctions. Calling the church sex abuse scandal a “leprosy in our house,” Pope Francis tells an Italian newspaper that 1 in 50 Catholic clerics are pedophiles. Not were, ARE as in right now in 2023. Yes, the Pope stated publicly that 1 in 50 clerics are active child predators. Sunday school is literally grooming and indoctrination by definition, not to mention the word's etymology.
I'm interested in your opinion on this book that's unsuitable for children, should it be banned why or why not?
This is actually a really great conversation. Both are smart men. And both acknowledge that to the other in their own way throughout the interview.
I hate how Dennis says there are both America “loving” and “hating” democrats without any sort of acknowledgment that there are people on the right who “hate” the America they live in right now that often doesn’t even try to the minimum for others. Kudos to David for having that kind of patience.
Anyway framing public sentiment toward America as a love/hate binary is a lazy habit. I love aspects of it, hate other aspects -who doesn't, _really_ ? From what I"ve seen it's usually white-haired people making this accusation, because it's based on outdated paranoia, as with the "Red Scare," and/or its' past use as a coercion tool for getting young men to join the military (or not dodge or protest the draft -to do so meant you "hated" America). But at some point too many people became ... I'll say it, WOKE ... to this silly version of peer pressure, that by the time 9/11 happened it was all too clear what a flimsy sentiment it was, with people who wanted to "prove" that they "loved" America doing so by having made-in-China American flags on their cars for a few years.
Even if someone truly hates America a lot more than they love it, that doesn't mean they're a bad American; it could simply mean they wish they could live somewhere else but don't have the means to go, OR they know America just has yet to reach its' real potential.
my friend, there is a difference between hating/disliking the current political state of a country and hating/disliking the core values that said country was founded on and has stood by for 250 years.
@@johnglinkBoth the Left and Right have reasons to assert that America is losing its' grip on core values .... but totally different ones.
It wasn’t democrats that tried to overthrow the government, if he’s looking for people who hate that government
Because Reps love their country's history and soul, not the situation Dems have put it in whilst many Dems just purely hate America, so, no. You're wrong.
I love hearing Dennis Prager talk about "reality" and God in the same sentence, unironically...
Are you a bigot to Jews?
@@notfiveo I don't believe in any God, but I disagree with your logic. If humans are the standard of "perfect", is it not possible for humans to purposefully create something that is designed to fail, or not be perfect. We(humans) do this all the time, could a perfect being not design something that is imperfect as well? Does God(Christian God) not actively/purposefully destroy things in the Bible? God did purposefully create the tree of knowledge, which was designed to ruin a perfect universe. The tree of knowledge could almost be viewed as a virus, that once eaten is unleashed upon the rest of the system(universe).
@marco12377 my idea is that an "all-loving", "all-knowing", "all-powerful" God could not create this reality for those three things to be true.

No one had the echo chambers like they do now. They were pretty much forced to hear different views, and to get a pretty good civics education. When you are in an echo chamber, everything outside of it seems dangerous, so they feel they have to fight all the time, and are hysterical about everything.
It is called Tolerance.
As intellectually dishonest as someone like Praeger is, I think opening kind dialogue and pushing back like David does is real progress.
Especially given the fact that one of Dennis’ talking points is that nobody from the left is willing to talk to him.
What a dishonest comment.
He doesn't push back nearly hard enough nor often enough. It's starting to really bother me because it just gives these whack jobs another platform to spout their nonsense.

A fascinating interview David. What is the best thing about it is how both of you - something we don’t see often these days - show respect for each other’s views even while totally disagreeing, but also recognising there are some things you can each agree with the other on.
David is a master , at side stepping every single question where he has no logical answer too.

He does do that sometimes. I enjoy David's show, but he can be pretty smug at times.

4:23 Excellent point by Prager here. Not surprised that Pakman dodges the question knowing he had no other way out of that one.

He didn't make any point there. He asked a hypothetical question whether people should cheat in order to beat someone they think is a fascist. Pakman recognized that as a distracting hypothetical, and redirected back to actual practical policies, polls and so on.

Not this kind of conversation that creates the impression of civility between two guys at opposite ends of the political spectrum but one of them, Pakman, does virtually nothing to challenge the egregious lies and distortions of his odious guest. Prager and his organization are purveyors of right-wing disinformation, historically warped commentaries and outright lies that undermine our nation and its fragile democracy. There's no point in having such a person on the show unless you're prepared to confront him with several key examples of how he does that.
I disagree with Pakman on quite a lot of things, and find him biased to the point of being nauseating..probably not unlike how many feel about Prager. However, I do think that when you take two intelligent people, even from clearly opposing sides, it brings out the best in both. With the echo chamber gone, the level of annoyance goes down for me almost immediately, assuming we are dealing with two people who are willing to listen and speak to each other respectfully.

Yes I tried to follow that plan and fell flat on my face. In reality, everyone should be able to choose their own path. He thinks it's the best way for EVERYONE. Nothing is the best thing for everyone. One size does not fit all.
Who was the guy that was running for office and said he thinks this is a good time for dictatorship, so we the people can be made, by force, to 'accept their morals' and godly way of life?

98.5% of people who follow those rules are not in poverty. This has been proven repeatedly. I don't know what metric you determine to be "struggling hard", but I doubt it's extreme poverty

Agreed. The comment section is proof that this audience is just as blindly biased as conservative audiences. Dennis had a lot of decent points that even David didn’t want to touch.
@@Silver_Something Blindly biased? Hardly. Truth is not subjective, pal. Praeger is a nut.
@@Silver_Somethingit's sad that anyone would consider David or his audience left in this century, there have been more progressive takes than David's in the 1880s (implemented on national level, minde you)
@@Silver_Something*names none of them*
@@Silver_Something Nope Dennis had no valid points (he doesn't know anything and couldn't reason his way out of a paper bag) And addressed anything worth addressing and showed how clueless Prager is.That's not biased it's a fact.
Kudos to you both for have a cordial conversation
Thank you once again for great content. We need more conversations like this.
This was a great example of Prager’s saying “I prefer clarity over agreement.”
Clarity? He has not quoted one bit of credible evidence
Mr. Prager's view is more aligned with "I prefer TRUTH over agreement."
Mr. Pakman is fluid with his views - to get agreement. Mr. Prager is more solid because he is pursuing the truth.
@@panhandlejake6200 clarity focused on LGBTQ obsessively and that’s an imperative for whom, for what? I say for the vacuous looking for a hot button issue, which it’s not
@@diamon4u OK - take their early discussion on the '20 election results. Mr. Prager cited clear evidence (ex: Trump got more votes in his second election than the first, he won the swing states and did not get elected ) that never happened previously which justifies questioning the 'strange' election results. Mr. Prager backs up his views - on the other hand, Mr. Pakman waffles.
@@panhandlejake6200 When "the truth is agreeing with my viewpoint"... it's not the truth. Just agreement on your viewpoint. BTW, Prager cares little for the truth. If you study history... his viewpoint... or as you call it "truth" is laughable. Marriage... even today... is a social contract designed by that society at that time. It's not "here is America in the 20th century is how it's always been." So dumb... sincerely - World History
BTW, I've seen many of his twisted history... very cherry picked to mislead so many. This is on top the already poor and misleading knowledge we have on American History. Now, I know you Google this... but are any of these wars "made up: "French & Indian War", "Spanish-American War"; "Mexican-American War" and/or "American-Indians Wars." I use this to illustrate to college and adult students how little they know and were taught American history... which is why Prager can pray on peoples ignorance.
It’s nice to see people with completely opposite views not going completely nuclear on each other.
Absolutely!
It's great to see America finally being able to sit and talk. Anna Ben now this, hopefully it's the start of broader dialogues
Nah they agree on most things.
They actually agreed on most things.
My problem with them is the fact that they spend to much time on culture issues. The real problems that affect us all are the economic policies. Culture wars are a distraction.
“People on the left want me to say-“
Hold on, Denny. The left wants nothing from you, let’s not even go there.
Exactly 👏🏽🥳🎊😂
Well, if we're making requests, I hope Dennis retires and never shows his face again!
@@AR0ACEthat’s because you are a mental weakling and you can’t handle anything outside your leftist bubble. People on the Right have no issue listening to people on the Left….they don’t lose their minds with the opinions of those on the Left.
Nothing at all
@@AR0ACE Freedom of speech allows you to say that. Although it sounds like you’re doing hate speech😂 Are you censoring Dennis? 🤣 jajaja. You sound like a social media algorithm.
Overall a good interview David. I enjoyed that. I'm a huge fan of Dennis.
Great discussion! Both were refreshingly cordial. Great thumbnail picture..both of them are smiling. David has the patience of a saint.
This wasn't a conversation. This was Dennis tap dancing around literally every single topic, giving non-answers and throwing strawmen out desperately by the dozens.
David thank you for having Dennis on your show. I really appreciate a grown up conversation with mutual respect.👏👏👏
Thank you for having a piece of shit on his show? Why would you thank him?
yes! more of these please!
He just waited until the interview was over to bash him in subsequent videos with other hivemind liberals.
@@dennisgarage9028 Exactly, funny how Pakman kept changing the topic when the lefts logic was being trumped.
He starts off by asking Prager if he's insane if he thinks that Trump was cheated out of the 2020 election. This was far from a conversation between two grown ups. Pakman is a disengenuos manchild... "If you think the 2020 election was rigged, then you have failed my insanity test, and therefore anything legitimate you say for the next half hour can be dismissed as a moot point... because according to my test... you're insane!"
Excellent conversation. Well done. You have great way of civil engagement.
Great and fair interview, thank you.
Someone on the left: Brings up any topic relating from health care to border patrol.
Someone on the right:
*Starts solving the Davinci code to try and loop it back to Trans people*
He didn't even do that. Davinci code (just a book) was written a lot longer ago than his "prediction".
Ok bro 😂
Have you considered that David chose to keep the discussion about topics that he and his guest had diverse opinions on? If we want to hear guests just confirming the hosts opinion, we could tune into another (less interesting) channel.
OMG, what a great segment. Thank you David, I love to hear arguments on both sides. Fantastic, I'm still solidly on the left.
