Wait a minute....he writes a book claiming that Obama wants a one party nation. Doesn't every president wants essentially a one party majority? Hell, that's what Richard Nixon's goal was with the Southern Strategy.
Michael he was just trying to sell some bullshit book and getting in the republican line to smack Obama again He's such an inconsequential little man it's not even funny After the elections he won't be able to give that book away to use for burning in the fireplace. He's talking smack like he always does.
and that U.S politics and filled with irony. republican are rely just fascist and socialist for rich and powerful. The Democrats are a mix party and lends little to the right.
winterlandboy I know this is late, but Dick Morris reminds me of the political version of Jerry Kraus; a guy who thinks he's smarter and more important than he really is. Plus he's corpulent and a non looker.
The best thing here, is simply holding the guest to reality. When that's the litmus test for Dick he runs from it. He's simply trying to punch the sun, & blaming David when he clearly can't. I wish ALL media did this
There's two ways to interpret "hasn't worked for her for 20 years". One is the person worked with her for 20 years. That is Dick Morris' meaning when talking about himself. The other is that it has been 20 years since the person worked with her. That is Pakman's interpretation. In this case both seem to be true about Dick Morris and if that is the case then he didn't contradict himself. He said the first about himself, agreed with the second about himself when David Pakman said the second about him, and disagreed with the first about the other people. He took offense at David Pakman conflating the first and the second.
Was his book "written" by the same ghost writer that wrote Sarah Palin's books, or Glenn Beck's, Ann Coulter's, or Bill O'Reilly's? The content and writing style of those books are all very similar. Very hyper-Conservative books, one author.
David I know this is a old interview but it was a good one . You did a great job . Keep up the good work DP baby. Now that we lost the daily show we need people like you more
Regardless of the liberals and conservatives bashing each other on the comment section, I think the interview ended due to a misunderstanding of what each of the other was saying. Dick Morris said that he had worked with Hillary for over 20 years; interviewer was saying that he hasn't worked with her for over 20 years. These are two totally different things, but unfortunately the two of them we're not understanding each other. That's when it got a little awkward and Morris just said, "OK see you later."
His last point was that he has worked with her FOR 20 years and other people haven't. You said he hasn't worked with her SINCE 20 years. You're both right.
*Dick LITERALLY said that he hasn’t worked with her in about 20 years.* _David didn’t make that shit up. He just busted Dick contradicting himself. Dick got so stumped, that he ran away. Holy shit, I’m glad this is documented forever._
D: “I have worked with her for over 20 years” P: Okay but you said you havent worked with her in the last 20 years” D: “Thats right” P: “So you havent worked with her for as long as all those other people” D: “Alright good bye” It wasnt a gotcha question as some comments are implying and he wasnt smug about it either. This man incinuated he knows hillary better than everyone else And pakman caught him full of it So he hung up instead of confronting the response. I miss anything?
+David Pakman Show I truly think you misunderstood what he meant there. I'm not a native speaker, but to me it sounded like he was saying "these other people have not worked with Mrs. Clinton for a span of 20 years before in their lives" and he was also saying "during the last 20 years I have not been working with Mrs. Clinton", but he was still saying "I worked with Mrs. Clinton for a span of 20 years before, starting about 40 years ago". In which case he wasn't contradicting himself. So probably a simple misunderstanding. And maybe he misguidedly viewed your misunderstanding of his statements as the last in a string of increasingly hostile bullshit attacks (like you misunderstanding him about immigration earlier) and just hung up. Doesn't necessarily mean he's a bad guy. Good interview though! Thanks for the vid.
He has a history of hanging up during interviews. I think you misunderstood his point, I think he meant that he had worked with her for a total of 20 years unlike others and that her views hadn't changed inthe time since he worked with her.
All kinds of adjustments are made regarding unemployment. The labor department has been using the same statistical data for years. Dick Morris LIED when he said, the number of Americans employed was down 20 million from 2008. The peak was 146 million in 2007. We are at that now at that same pre-crisis peak.
His claim was that he *worked* with Hillary for more than 20 years, which is more than her then-current supporters had worked with her, not literally that they've "not worked with them for 20 years", which also happens to be the same time span since he stopped working with her, after having worked for so long, more than anyone on her side. Not a contradiction.
A comment about the camera angles and editing: I would use a closer shot or a quarter side shot on David for when he's talking and an 'inset' shot - Like the one you're using for David's shot now. - when the guest is talking. Especially when there's no video stream for the guest, only showing a still picture: you get more info about the conversation, seeing your face, reacting to what the guest is saying. :-) Success with the show!
What you should have been asking, is whether or not the the Republitards are working toward a one party system, with voter ID laws,Gerrymandering, and Citizens United. I'm sure every Republican in congress would love to be the unanimous party. Only problem is they would split again with the tea baggers.
What is wrong with people in the comments section of this video? Everyone is saying "he worked with her for 20 years, not 20 years AGO, ergo no contradiction" but that's not even the part where the supposed contradiction was. The contradiction was in him saying his working relationship with the Clintons ended about 20 years ago, while he claiming other people didn't know as much about the Clintons as him based on the fact those people hadn't had a relationship with the Clintons for 20 years, which was about the same amount of time he himself hadn't had a relationship with them either. He literally said, "I know Hilary better than almost anybody who's commenting on her in the public sphere, including her spokesmen and supporters, because *they haven't worked with her in more than 20 years."* And when David asked "I thought you said it had ALSO been about 20 years since you worked with her?" Morris replied, "Yeah, *THAT'S RIGHT."
I don't get it. Wouldn't any Democrat like to have a permanent majority? Maybe the GOP will have to bring in policies that the majority want. Not just the wealthy.
not that it makes a difference but Dick Morris was gay and now he's married (to a woman- he said "wife"). Was liberal amd now conservative. Was a campaign manager and now an author. Dick Morris has no right to share his formed opinions on anyone; he needs to worry about figuring himself out first.
How did these people get things so wrong? The problem in America as in other places, is a simple one, he is a racist...its nothing to do with his politics.
Based on the comments that he made regarding unemployment and the stock market during Obama’s presidency. He should be the first person telling trump to shut up and stop bragging about unemployment being low, and the stock market being high.
the guy is clearly just trying to plug his book so he can earn money. he's using the classic sarah palin model where you criticize someone you already know people dislike and then sell that criticism to the hungry masses that lap it up like dogs.
Wasn't this the guy who predicted a Mitt Romney win over Obama and quickly dumped by conservatives who usually asked for his opinion on their shows.....LOL
When I saw the title for this video, I assumed that this was probably going to be David's fault, honestly. He often makes some nagging little point of order amid a much larger discussion, and that causes unnecessary friction in an interview. I like when journalists challenge guests, but there is a difference between challenging the gist of someone's overall argument and nitpicking, and sometimes David nitpicks, which is ok for a 45 minute interview but wastes a lot of time in a 10 minute interview. Anyway, this is 100% Morris's fault. He could have just clarified and said "I meant I had worked with her for 20 years, and most of these other pundits, even if they have known her more recently, didn't spend as much time with her as I did." Problem solved, next point. This was in no way offensive / confrontational / inappropriate enough to hang up on an interview. And it wasn't a slow build to Morris hanging up in frustration either. David had let Morris talk for a long time, given that a) most of the interview was simply a plug for Morris' book (one that Morris introduced into the conversation himself), and b) the amount of ways Dick Morris is a delusional psychopath. David could have asked him "Don't all politicians want for their parties to achieve hegemony over the other parties permanently? Isn't that the point of being in a party?", but he let that slide. He let Morris call Hillary a "radical Liberal" without any of the 300 different ways one could challenge this. He let Morris say that "Reagan achieved all of his Liberal goals through Conservatism" without challenge. He didn't ask Morris about Obama deporting record numbers of illegal immigrants, or doing next to nothing about climate change, or how most "wealth re-distributors" don't lower taxes on nearly everyone or bail out the biggest banks. He didn't make Morris explain who "we" are that "say that Obama is giving everyone socialized medicine," or how Obama is actually doing this (since he fought to kill the Public Option), or whether Morris' argument is actually an admission that this policy is extremely popular in the country (since how else would this be used to enable a permanent majority?) So the interview was actually very light on criticism, and Morris is simply used to getting absolute affirmation from FOX.
David, your skills as an interviewer never fail to impress me, and this brings you up a notch further in my book (suffice it to say, there aren't many notches left!). On one level, I totally want to see you kick ass and bring mainstream media moguls to their knees. On another level, it will be quite sad when you're such a big name that folks across the board know both it and your personal point of view, and might not be so willing to book you for a [totally legit, reasonable, nonjudgmental] interview. Way to be awesomesauce & wicked hot scorpion peppers!
Whoa way to mess up an interview! How did you misunderstand that? It seems like something he should have been able to clarify rather than hanging up, unless he thought you were deliberately trying to make him look bad.
Stocks are booming and when we were first talking about investing I told my broker jokingly that the market would be 15,000 in 4 years. That was 2010. I actually underestimated.
He said they haven't worked with her FOR as long as he did. In other words, he hasn't worked with her IN 20 years but he has worked with her FOR 20 years. He clearly has some stupid beliefs but insulting him for something he didn't do is a bad reflection on yourself.
The stock market DJI was at 14000 at the end of 2007. So it has gained 3000 since recovering from a collapse of approximately 50%. Investors are doing better than labor, but it's not that great.
I think Dick Morris is an odious little goblin, but he did not contradict himself. He just saw through that ham-handed gotcha question. The fact that Dick worked with her for 20 years, but not in the last 20 years has nothing to do with each other.
Dropping an interview when the questions get too tough is nothing new for Dick Morris. Years ago, he hung up on an interview with Tom Hartmann when, in response to a snarky, off the wall comment Morris made about a Bill Clinton staffer, Hartmann questioned Mr. Morris past ethics. In yesterday's interview, Mr. Pakman called out some pretty questionable claims by Mr. Morris, which seemed to offend Mr. Morris. A permanent Democratic majority via granting amnesty to illegal immigrant children is a little bit of a stretch. And let's keep in mind that Dick Morris is the guy who said repeatedly that Mitt Romney would win by a landslide in 2012. And then there's how Obama "screwed up" the economy? Anybody around in '08/'09 can remember that the economy could not have been more screwed up than that Bush administration economic el-foldo. Pakman's statistics clearly pointed that out. If Dick Morris wants wants a softball interview where nobody offends him by rebutting his claims, he can go back on Fox News.
I personally think he has no credibility, this was solidified, when he felt so confident on the outcome of the 2012 election, and in the aftermath, was so far off base. His star has faded so much, and I really cannot find it within me to have any sympathy for him.
Large investment banks can borrow money from the fed at zero percent interest and invest it in the stock market which drives up stocks. Corporations can get cheap loans too and have used them to buy back their own stocks which drives them up. The fed has printed trillions of dollars and a lot of those dollars made their way into the stock market driving it up. The stock market is not accurate measure of current economic fundamentals which is what he means by it being its own entity.
theslimeylimey "Large investment banks can borrow money from the fed at zero percent interest" No they can't, that's bloody ridiculous. This is what the Federal Reserve actually does, according to their web site: The Federal Reserve lends to banks and other depository institutions--so-called "discount window lending"--to address temporary problems they may have in obtaining funding. Those problems can range from "garden variety" issues, such as funding pressures associated with unexpected changes in a bank's loans and deposits, to extraordinary events, such as those that occurred after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks or during the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009. In all of these cases, the Federal Reserve provides loans when normal market funding cannot meet banks' funding needs; while the discount window is not intended for ongoing use in normal market conditions, it is available to cover unexpected developments. To encourage banks to first seek funding from market sources, the Federal Reserve lends at a rate that is higher, and thus more expensive, than the short-term rates that banks could obtain in the market under usual circumstances. To minimize the risk that the Federal Reserve will incur losses from lending, borrowers must pledge collateral, such as loans and securities. Since 1913 when the Federal Reserve was established, it has never lost a cent on its discount window loans to banks. www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/banking_12841.htm
Fray2221 You are correct. I had heard/read somewhere the banks were using the low interest rate loans intended for consumer/business lending and investing it in the stock market instead. This was part of the bailout/stimulus process (TALF, TAF for example) that I thought was going on until recently but I looked into it and direct Fed lending was discontinued way back in 2010. Time flies. Only QE in the form of bond purchases or MBS securities continued until last year as I'm guessing you know.
I'd rather intellectually smear 90's style conservative practitioners of triangulation than try to talk to the Berlin Wall of stupidity that is the tea party.
Packman is the troll game you eat up everybody in your way. Stupid man to play this old game in 2017. Can't subscribe. Waste of time that game is-WAS. Your grin is like a kid in a candy store too
I love how Pakman has to look at his teleprompter for all of his progressive bullet points. Dick Morris thinks he is going to have a civilized interview about his book, instead it's a typical scripted progressive ambush from Pakman, spewing his typical premeditated bullet points. So bush league.
Jims Progressive World yes, I was staring at some kind of secret ambush material source that wasn't a teleprompter and was hidden deep inside the camera which I was looking at. Brilliant hypothesis.
This may be way off base and I may be a bad person, however, every time I hear his voice, I think how creepy his obscene phone were. Can you imagine this voice talking dirty to you. Yuck!
To David P: You get some interesting people to agree to be on your show. However, you frequently act like a great jackass, with your interruptions and snarky attitude. May I suggest that, with people you can easily assume to have positions different from yours, you question them and let them talk so there is certainty on their "facts" and positions. Then say goodbye and state all the "facts" and positions you disagree with and make your case. I always feel your interviews with "opponents" go very badly.
Tangle2BrookWhat you describe sounds more like a "debate" than an "interview." You can't have a discussion with someone, unless you are actually talking to them. Pakman's approach is far more humanistic than what you describe, and does not try to classify people based on arbitrary ideological labels. Your feelings about his interviews are entirely your own, as they cannot account for people who return for multiple interviews, nor of praise given by others in the media.
***** but shouldnt he call BS when he smells and hears BS? Thats the whole point of journalism. Not to have people on plug a book and make false claims.
It's not being snarky! It's *journalism*! You've become so accustomed to seeing reporters roll over and play dead that the sight of one who actually points out the blatant contradictions of an interviewee has become foreign to you. This isn't The Johnny Carson Show BTW, fuck Dick Morris. Can we agree on that? He's a spineless halfwit who can't even stand being corrected for his asinine comments. He just expects this young man won't contest anything he says and basically just wants to taught his new book. Pathetic.
Tangle2Brook: That's not how interviews work. What you are describing is a political debate. Mr Pakman did let Dick Morris talk and make his "facts" and opinions known. However, when a guest starts making highly questionable statements or opinions, the interviewer is OBLIGED to respond and question those statements. Like the one about how Obama "screwed up" the economy. David Pakman stopped him in order to bring up economic statistics that counter what Mr. Morris claims. If David Pakman had let Mr. Morris talk uninterrupted and then rebutted Morris' statements after the interview, Mr. Morris would not have been able to counter-rebut Mr. Pakman. And also, it would be much less interesting an "interview". Morris had a chance to explain what he meant by "(Hillary Clinton's spokesmen and supporters) haven't worked with her for more than 20 years...", but instead dropped the interview when the questions got too tough.
When have conservatives ever balanced the budget?
Dan MCV idk but democrats did it three times
You have to go back to Dwight Eisenhower
@@Israel-nb7ip yea back before regan lowered taxes on the top earners. back when the tax on the top earners was in the 90%.
Wait a minute....he writes a book claiming that Obama wants a one party nation. Doesn't every president wants essentially a one party majority? Hell, that's what Richard Nixon's goal was with the Southern Strategy.
Michael he was just trying to sell some bullshit book and getting in the republican line to smack Obama again
He's such an inconsequential little man it's not even funny
After the elections he won't be able to give that book away to use for burning in the fireplace.
He's talking smack like he always does.
and that U.S politics and filled with irony.
republican are rely just fascist and socialist for rich and powerful.
The Democrats are a mix party and lends little to the right.
karl rove said that we would see a permanent GOP calafate this the pot calling the kettle black
winterlandboy
I know this is late, but Dick Morris reminds me of the political version of Jerry Kraus; a guy who thinks he's smarter and more important than he really is. Plus he's corpulent and a non looker.
Never too late for a comment like that.
The best thing here, is simply holding the guest to reality. When that's
the litmus test for Dick he runs from it. He's simply trying to punch the
sun, & blaming David when he clearly can't. I wish ALL media did this
Facts are like kryptonite to Republicans.
Hahaha best quote ever!
And the Dems just ignore them.
In his defense, he meant that he had worked with her for /a duration/ of 20 years, and the people commenting on her have not
Quite.
He could have easily said that. That was my impression.
There is no war in Central America, isn't the war on drugs considered a war?
There's two ways to interpret "hasn't worked for her for 20 years". One is the person worked with her for 20 years. That is Dick Morris' meaning when talking about himself. The other is that it has been 20 years since the person worked with her. That is Pakman's interpretation. In this case both seem to be true about Dick Morris and if that is the case then he didn't contradict himself. He said the first about himself, agreed with the second about himself when David Pakman said the second about him, and disagreed with the first about the other people. He took offense at David Pakman conflating the first and the second.
Sometimes it's amazing how people can write and promote these books with a straight face
Yeah well ..they either Belueve their own bullshit or..they get paid to believe their own bullshit!
Even worse are the people that do not recognize Obama's abuse of power.
Most presidents have abused power at one time or another. It's the severity that counts . . . Bush Jr. anyone ;)
Alan Peters Please define the abuse?
patstenzel First let me answer your question, with a question. Are you really asking me what kind of abuse George Bush, Jr. is guilty of?
Was his book "written" by the same ghost writer that wrote Sarah Palin's books, or Glenn Beck's, Ann Coulter's, or Bill O'Reilly's?
The content and writing style of those books are all very similar. Very hyper-Conservative books, one author.
David I know this is a old interview but it was a good one . You did a great job . Keep up the good work DP baby. Now that we lost the daily show we need people like you more
Your interviews are so great!!
Regardless of the liberals and conservatives bashing each other on the comment section, I think the interview ended due to a misunderstanding of what each of the other was saying.

These are two totally different things, but unfortunately the two of them we're not understanding each other. That's when it got a little awkward and Morris just said, "OK see you later."
renaissanceman21c .... Its sexist to vote for Hillary her dream job is baseball player.... Watch the view and read her book....
Its rude to vote for Hillary her dream job is baseball player.... Watch the view
His last point was that he has worked with her FOR 20 years and other people haven't.
You said he hasn't worked with her SINCE 20 years.
You're both right.
*Dick LITERALLY said that he hasn’t worked with her in about 20 years.* _David didn’t make that shit up. He just busted Dick contradicting himself. Dick got so stumped, that he ran away. Holy shit, I’m glad this is documented forever._
D: “I have worked with her for over 20 years”
P: Okay but you said you havent worked with her in the last 20 years”
D: “Thats right”
P: “So you havent worked with her for as long as all those other people”
D: “Alright good bye”
It wasnt a gotcha question as some comments are implying and he wasnt smug about it either.
This man incinuated he knows hillary better than everyone else
And pakman caught him full of it
So he hung up instead of confronting the response.
I miss anything?
How did Pakman manage to get Skeletor on his show?
The picture is pure gold.
Wow you are so close to 100k subs!
indeed!
+David Pakman Show I truly think you misunderstood what he meant there.

Destroyed! Great job David
The second obama left office and trump was sworn in his theories went down the toilet.
wow, you owned him pretty hard with just a few words. nicely done.
I haven't watched the whole thing, but all I can think about is toe sucking.
A comment about the camera angles and editing: I would use a closer shot or a quarter side shot on David for when he's talking and an 'inset' shot - Like the one you're using for David's shot now. - when the guest is talking.

Success with the show!
I wonder where the "fiscal conservatives" are now
At least he's self-aware enough to just give up and not argue "you heard it wrong."
LoL awesome thanks Dave
He's got a history of acting like this, he did the same thing to Peter Schiff. Maybe he doesn't like Jews.
What you should have been asking, is whether or not the the Republitards are working toward a one party system, with voter ID laws,Gerrymandering, and Citizens United. I'm sure every Republican in congress would love to be the unanimous party. Only problem is they would split again with the tea baggers.

This interview aged poorly.
I love this stuff. Hitting the like button
Morris is confusing refugees with asylum seekers.
Soviet Union fell apart not because of Reagan, we fell apart because of internal reasons
"Dick, it's really great to have you on..."
I don't get it. Wouldn't any Democrat like to have a permanent majority? Maybe the GOP will have to bring in policies that the majority want. Not just the wealthy.
not that it makes a difference but Dick Morris was gay and now he's married (to a woman- he said "wife"). Was liberal amd now conservative. Was a campaign manager and now an author. Dick Morris has no right to share his formed opinions on anyone; he needs to worry about figuring himself out first.
How did these people get things so wrong? The problem in America as in other places, is a simple one, he is a racist...its nothing to do with his politics.
He knew right away he had nothing for you, he cut his losses quickly...
Basically, he gets upset that David won't let him lie without challenge.
he's beside himself..with contradictions
Great
So much for that one party plan...
Please stop getting angry in your interviews
Do you think Aldi's is having a discount to 2019 due to the fact that it's repacked relabel food?
Based on the comments that he made regarding unemployment and the stock market during Obama’s presidency. He should be the first person telling trump to shut up and stop bragging about unemployment being low, and the stock market being high.
Morris should have gone on Fox News. Haha! Good interview David!
Lol the end though
the guy is clearly just trying to plug his book so he can earn money. he's using the classic sarah palin model where you criticize someone you already know people dislike and then sell that criticism to the hungry masses that lap it up like dogs.
it's the easiest way to make money in this country. the religions have been doing it for centuries.
Question is David that hated?
and what masses?
the hoards of ideologues that think with their emotions and dont know anything.
basically the republican base.
Wasn't this the guy who predicted a Mitt Romney win over Obama and quickly dumped by conservatives who usually asked for his opinion on their shows.....LOL
"the economy is getting better?" , "unemployment is dropping?"..LOL! oh brother..

So the interview was actually very light on criticism, and Morris is simply used to getting absolute affirmation from FOX.
he is probably a good consultant because he is very short-sighted, and so can really think like the general electorate
Like your show David but be honest. He was saying he had cumulatively worked with her for 20 years. Not the amount of time that had passed since.
David, your skills as an interviewer never fail to impress me, and this brings you up a notch further in my book (suffice it to say, there aren't many notches left!). On one level, I totally want to see you kick ass and bring mainstream media moguls to their knees. On another level, it will be quite sad when you're such a big name that folks across the board know both it and your personal point of view, and might not be so willing to book you for a [totally legit, reasonable, nonjudgmental] interview. Way to be awesomesauce & wicked hot scorpion peppers!
Wait..what? Run that by me again?...
Whoa way to mess up an interview! How did you misunderstand that? It seems like something he should have been able to clarify rather than hanging up, unless he thought you were deliberately trying to make him look bad.
Haha, "Grab 'Em By the Power"
Stocks are booming and when we were first talking about investing I told my broker jokingly that the market would be 15,000 in 4 years.
That was 2010. I actually underestimated.
Yeah its been a really bullish market since 09 wonder when the pull back is going to be.
Still hasn't happen yet lol
He said they haven't worked with her FOR as long as he did. In other words, he hasn't worked with her IN 20 years but he has worked with her FOR 20 years. He clearly has some stupid beliefs but insulting him for something he didn't do is a bad reflection on yourself.
He didn't contradict himself. He was saying he had worked with her for 20 years from the late 70s to late 90s.
Watch it again you’re WRONG!
The stock market DJI was at 14000 at the end of 2007. So it has gained 3000 since recovering from a collapse of approximately 50%. Investors are doing better than labor, but it's not that great.
I think Dick Morris is an odious little goblin, but he did not contradict himself. He just saw through that ham-handed gotcha question. The fact that Dick worked with her for 20 years, but not in the last 20 years has nothing to do with each other.
Looks like someone needed a safe space
he didn't contradict, he dumped a jerk
Dick sounds like a beyyyyytaaaaaaa make then he can't handle milk toast david.
do you know who or what is making more democrats, republicans and republicans policies.
Why haven't the Metoomovement gotten to him yet. Freak
what is the cut at 10:00-10:05?
Nah, i think he just doesn't like terrible conversation etiquette.
Dropping an interview when the questions get too tough is nothing new for Dick Morris. Years ago, he hung up on an interview with Tom Hartmann when, in response to a snarky, off the wall comment Morris made about a Bill Clinton staffer, Hartmann questioned Mr. Morris past ethics. In yesterday's interview, Mr. Pakman called out some pretty questionable claims by Mr. Morris, which seemed to offend Mr. Morris. A permanent Democratic majority via granting amnesty to illegal immigrant children is a little bit of a stretch. And let's keep in mind that Dick Morris is the guy who said repeatedly that Mitt Romney would win by a landslide in 2012. And then there's how Obama "screwed up" the economy? Anybody around in '08/'09 can remember that the economy could not have been more screwed up than that Bush administration economic el-foldo. Pakman's statistics clearly pointed that out. If Dick Morris wants wants a softball interview where nobody offends him by rebutting his claims, he can go back on Fox News.
Couldn't listen to the interview. His voice reminds me of Andy Kindler and Mark Levine.
Jesus, this guy's arrogance is astounding
I like David Pakman...But that 20 years comment was dumb as hell. lol
Turncoat, this dude is a yes man joke!!
Here are the roots of Trump
Very crazy ideologue.
Nice one Dave!
I was against nuclear war growing up, in other words a strong liberal.
What?! Haha...
He's a political Harvey Fierstei
n
That was great.
Chicken
I personally think he has no credibility, this was solidified, when he felt so confident on the outcome of the 2012 election, and in the aftermath, was so far off base. His star has faded so much, and I really cannot find it within me to have any sympathy for him.
The stock market has nothing to do with the economy, its all about "federal currency printing"? What the fuck is this guy talking about?
Large investment banks can borrow money from the fed at zero percent interest and invest it in the stock market which drives up stocks. Corporations can get cheap loans too and have used them to buy back their own stocks which drives them up. The fed has printed trillions of dollars and a lot of those dollars made their way into the stock market driving it up. The stock market is not accurate measure of current economic fundamentals which is what he means by it being its own entity.

"Large investment banks can borrow money from the fed at zero percent interest"
No they can't, that's bloody ridiculous.
This is what the Federal Reserve actually does, according to their web site:
The Federal Reserve lends to banks and other depository institutions--so-called "discount window lending"--to address temporary problems they may have in obtaining funding. Those problems can range from "garden variety" issues, such as funding pressures associated with unexpected changes in a bank's loans and deposits, to extraordinary events, such as those that occurred after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks or during the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009. In all of these cases, the Federal Reserve provides loans when normal market funding cannot meet banks' funding needs; while the discount window is not intended for ongoing use in normal market conditions, it is available to cover unexpected developments.
To encourage banks to first seek funding from market sources, the Federal Reserve lends at a rate that is higher, and thus more expensive, than the short-term rates that banks could obtain in the market under usual circumstances. To minimize the risk that the Federal Reserve will incur losses from lending, borrowers must pledge collateral, such as loans and securities. Since 1913 when the Federal Reserve was established, it has never lost a cent on its discount window loans to banks.

Fray2221 You are correct. I had heard/read somewhere the banks were using the low interest rate loans intended for consumer/business lending and investing it in the stock market instead. This was part of the bailout/stimulus process (TALF, TAF for example) that I thought was going on until recently but I looked into it and direct Fed lending was discontinued way back in 2010. Time flies. Only QE in the form of bond purchases or MBS securities continued until last year as I'm guessing you know.
It's beyond your comprehension.
I'd rather intellectually smear 90's style conservative practitioners of triangulation than try to talk to the Berlin Wall of stupidity that is the tea party.
🤣😂
Packman is the troll game you eat up everybody in your way. Stupid man to play this old game in 2017. Can't subscribe. Waste of time that game is-WAS. Your grin is like a kid in a candy store too
I love how Pakman has to look at his teleprompter for all of his progressive bullet points. Dick Morris thinks he is going to have a civilized interview about his book, instead it's a typical scripted progressive ambush from Pakman, spewing his typical premeditated bullet points. So bush league.
we don't have a teleprompter
David Pakman Show You were staring at something for all of your ambush material, that's for certain.
Jims Progressive World yes, I was staring at some kind of secret ambush material source that wasn't a teleprompter and was hidden deep inside the camera which I was looking at. Brilliant hypothesis.
Dick isn't progressive or conservative. He just follows the money and the morons who are willing to give it to him.
David Pakman Show 9:15 What are you staring at here, David?
"goodbye" lmao. you should've asked him why he got fired by fox news
This may be way off base and I may be a bad person, however, every time I hear his voice, I think how creepy his obscene phone were. Can you imagine this voice talking dirty to you. Yuck!
That is a very generous picture of Dick Morris. He looks way worse than that.
He left over that!? What a coward!
That was fuckin hilarious
Why do you bother to interview this clown? Who's next, Ann Coulter? Unsubbed.
What a terrible loss! Farewell, mon ami!
To David P: You get some interesting people to agree to be on your show. However, you frequently act like a great jackass, with your interruptions and snarky attitude.
May I suggest that, with people you can easily assume to have positions different from yours, you question them and let them talk so there is certainty on their "facts" and positions. Then say goodbye and state all the "facts" and positions you disagree with and make your case.
I always feel your interviews with "opponents" go very badly.
Tangle2BrookWhat you describe sounds more like a "debate" than an "interview." You can't have a discussion with someone, unless you are actually talking to them. Pakman's approach is far more humanistic than what you describe, and does not try to classify people based on arbitrary ideological labels. Your feelings about his interviews are entirely your own, as they cannot account for people who return for multiple interviews, nor of praise given by others in the media.
***** but shouldnt he call BS when he smells and hears BS? Thats the whole point of journalism. Not to have people on plug a book and make false claims.
It's not being snarky! It's *journalism*!
You've become so accustomed to seeing reporters roll over and play dead that the sight of one who actually points out the blatant contradictions of an interviewee has become foreign to you. This isn't The Johnny Carson Show
BTW, fuck Dick Morris. Can we agree on that? He's a spineless halfwit who can't even stand being corrected for his asinine comments. He just expects this young man won't contest anything he says and basically just wants to taught his new book. Pathetic.
Tangle2Brook: That's not how interviews work. What you are describing is a political debate. Mr Pakman did let Dick Morris talk and make his "facts" and opinions known. However, when a guest starts making highly questionable statements or opinions, the interviewer is OBLIGED to respond and question those statements. Like the one about how Obama "screwed up" the economy. David Pakman stopped him in order to bring up economic statistics that counter what Mr. Morris claims. If David Pakman had let Mr. Morris talk uninterrupted and then rebutted Morris' statements after the interview, Mr. Morris would not have been able to counter-rebut Mr. Pakman. And also, it would be much less interesting an "interview". Morris had a chance to explain what he meant by "(Hillary Clinton's spokesmen and supporters) haven't worked with her for more than 20 years...", but instead dropped the interview when the questions got too tough.
the guy lives up to his name
