Our PM hasn't given a single legit interview, or a press conference. Bollywood stars have interviewed him and he describes how he eats mangoes. No I'm not kidding. We all have right wing religious extremists in power who don't care about anything.
His sympathy towards an alleged sex trafficker Vs his obvious distaste for a beloved Civil Rights icon serve as two windows to his soul ... such a bottomless pit
!!! He called Kapernick, a non criminal, a SOB. Somehow his standards are miraculously lowered if the person allows them on their private island. (He doesn’t want Maxwell to speak because it would incriminate him.)
Thought the interview was hilarious. But one thing that’s driving me crazy is everyone claiming the US is still behind other countries in testing. This simply is not the case. As of Aug 4, the US has one of the highest testing rates in the world, by actual numbers and per capita. 174 per 100k, according to Johns Hopkins. It’s much lower in other countries. HOWEVER, positivity rates in the US remain substantially higher than other developed countries. It’s a critical distinction.
@@gloriaa2817 why is that a good thing? If we kept this under control from the beginning, we would have never HAD to do that many tests. If we didn't have so many sick people, we wouldn't NEED to conduct that much testing. He DOES. NOT. deserve credit for all the testing. If he had done his damn job, and not acted like it was just going to disappear, we wouldn't HAVE to test so much. Its a ridiculous way to try to measure success
@@gloriaa2817 did you miss the part where it's states that when you see a declining rate of infections or very few new infections there's less of a need to do more testing? That's the critical difference.
@@gloriaa2817 we are number 17, which is not great. and when you compare it to the case loads, the reason we are even going up, is because the cirus is basically non existant in most other places anymore.
It takes a reporter who has lived outside America to do an actual real interview with Trump with challenging questions and willing to go beyond rhetoric. The saddest part is this Australian-American, who has lived in the U.S. for less than a decade, knows more about the American system than the damn American president! Look at the confusion on Swan's face at 5:31 - that is the look the rest of the world has every day with the stuff Trump says.
So true. First decent interview where a reporter actually asks critical questions, too bad it comes four years too late.. American News reporters are a disgrace and embarrassment.
Homemadegameguru That look at 5:31 is also the look many of us right here in the US have every day listening to the garbage that comes out of that little anus trump calls a mouth.
Yeh we definitely need more like Swan. Trump had to work really hard to get through that, and he totally cocked it up. Shuffling those papers was like watching a child in kindergarten handing the teacher a crayon drawing. Enough already!
Big problem is, this is a textbook recipe on how to not get any more interviews with important government officials. Sure, if everyone did it, the world would be a better place. But if some do it, and some don't, politicians will become very conscious about which interviews they accept. And the difficult reporters will find themselves unable to do their job.
I agree. The thing is, he usually doesn't grant such interviews, I'm very surprised he did this one. Often it's just Fox News interviews with really softball questions.
MasterHigure At least this interview will be remembered in what is otherwise a sea of inconsequential interviews. I didn’t know or care who Swan was before this but you can be sure I took notice now. With a bit of luck the ball will soon be set in motion and there’ll be no hiding from the ridicule that is rightly his. But yes there is every chance that this will restrict further interviews. To be entirely honest I’m impressed someone didn’t step in and pull the plug on that interview.
1000 deaths per day: "It is what it is" Is he just trying to lose at this point? One last grift, pocket campaign funds then sneak out of town like a snake oil salesman? Serious question.
At this point I've had to accept that his supporters really are inconceivably stupid, evil, or both because they can watch these interviews and still feel proud to support Donald the Douche 100%
He doesn't really care. Neither do most of his supporters. Unless it personally impacts them or their loved ones they don't care. He just wants to win, he just wants to be powerful and if Americans die of Covid then...he will always blame someone else. Nevermind that he said multiple times prior to being elected that the President has ultimate responsibility for his citizens...and criticized Obama's leadership at every opportunity. Other countries dealt with this better, we know it originated in China, we know they handled it badly. But the rest of the world has had stark differences in response. He's now trying to push the narrative that other countries are having new surges...and while that is true, most are not as high as the US surge that began over 2 months ago. He brings up China, who topped 100 cases on more than one day and acted fast to contain it. Australia... daily triple figure case rises, have put into place strict local lockdowns. As have Spain...the UK rapidly locked down a major city after a spike in cases, so quickly in fact that the locals had virtually no warning.
it's not rocket science if you have read a psychology book to make a narcissist show what they are. The press are uneducated to have taken this long for one of them to get to this point.
@@krusher74 I don't think it's a matter of their being uneducated...I think in some cases it has to do with CONTROL, and fear of losing prestige or losing a job. I've seen a lot of interviews of Trump, and there were so, so many questions that I often felt SHOULD'VE been asked of him in the interviews... OBVIOUS and NECESSARY questions that would've made Trump trip over his own tongue, and expose himself as being either hypocritical, self-contradictory or grossly incompetent, but those kinds of questions are usually NEVER asked. That frustrated the hell out of me as an American citizen. Making the President look foolish in front of the world would no-doubt be a fireable offense; probably get you locked out of future press briefings, banned from the White House and/or vilified over social media... not to mention you'll be a prominent subject of Trump's Twitter rants! IF you fear facing ANY of what I mentioned above (and they KNOW you are), you will be like putty in their hands. Once an Enemy knows your fear, you can be CONTROLLED by that fear. This interview looks as if Mr. Swan had NO concerns that would've made him bite his tongue. I like that...a LOT!😊 Let's see if he suffers from any ramifications over this.
@@loveinspired7 yes i agree with you, the USA press has their hands tied if they want to keep their jobs, and that is the end or real journalism. The term "fake news" has ruined truth in your country forever.
This journalist should be elected.... Finally somebody who has the guts to go against all the lies of the lunatic... Great interview and really embarrassing for trump, although he will say that he had tremendous ratings
@@michelleflynn7485 "And then he started playing his invisible imaginary accordian." lol, his stupid arm flailing gestures.Does Trump even hear himself during this interview? He's repeating himself so much because he obviously can't think of anything else to say. Anyone watching this interview is going to conclude (rightly) that Trump is either a liar or an idiot (or both, lol).
Best interview ever. I hope people laugh at this decades after. Im proud someone pulled his teeth out and the laughing gas goes on forever and ever amen.
Jonathon Swan should receive some type of accolade or award for this interview. He utterly, completely dismantled trump using his own childish logic with calm precision, refusing to play his predictable games. Well done, sir, well done.
Swan's Australian. In Australia, we get political interviews of this quality pretty much daily. As an Australian, it's endlessly frustrating to see how easy it has been for Trump to evade such scrutiny. And I don't think Australia is the outlier here. From what I've seen, the same goes for pretty much every other developed democracy. It's the US that's the odd one out. While the US has some excellent journalists, it's possible for a President to avoid ever being interviewed by them to a degree that's just unthinkable to outsiders.
@@jk177717 ~ Your points are valid and as an American that consumes alot of political media from other countries it is an embarrassing situation I have watched unfold here for the last three years.
The sad thing is the questions weren't even especially tough. Trump is just so used to a sycophantic toadying "press" who don't dare ask difficult questions for fer of losing access to the white house that he doesn't know how to answer the questions of a person he can't threaten into submission. There's a lesson here for people who hold power. Never surround yourself with yes-men and butt-kissers. You'll be left ill-equipped to deal with any real crisis if you do.
@@MollTheLioness Yes, of course. It was obvious. person, man, woman, camera, tv - this were, I knew it, when I heard it the first time, obviously the words that first popped up in his mind. A big part of his vocabulary.
He also responds better to alpha male types. The reporter didn't take any shit and was on the truth offensive so you didn't see trump explode or leave like he does when confronted by women or men that let him talk over them but get confrontational. It's in his nature I guess..that's why he demurs to people like Putin
@@jenkem4464 I would like to point out that he was trapped in that chair , didn't have the luxury of walking out on reporters , ignoring them or having secret service escort them out or calling them names , as in "fake stupid etc." Trump got his ass handed to him...
He actually deposes well. There is an old video of him in a deposition, the interviewing lawyer got nothing out of him. th-cam.com/video/3dqE9Ns-RJM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/2ZlU8ZaR1jg/w-d-xo.html if you happen to be interested.
@@nadtz He said he didn't know a Russian that he's in pictures with and has an office space on his floor. That's the same one that he 'needed his glasses' and couldn't read bc he can barely read--and doesn't wear 👓 glasses🤣
@@nadtz Honestly he used to be much more capable, could talk almost eloquently and stay on point. Those days are long gone though. Mueller would have eaten him alive.
It completely confuses him though. He gets stuck on seeing facts only in a warped vague way. He doesn't have the capability of comparing graphs presented in different ways and then reasoning out the information to make a logical point.
My Father in Law is a Trump supporter. We ask him, “Did you hear what Trump said about..(insert asinine thing he has said)”. My FIL replies, “Oh no, I never listen to him. I get the cliff notes from Fox News.” He wants it “filtered” through Fox News! When we tell him what he actually said, he says “Fake News!” He refuses to listen to/watch actual video. He says he can’t trust anything the other outlets put out because they doctor video and manipulate audio.
In order to get politicians to sit for an interview, they are promised softball questions and the questions are provided to their people in advance. The same is true with talk shows- there are no gotcha questions.
Because the networks generally aren't interested in creating conflict, and they want to maintain their access to the white house. I'm sure even if Trump somehow remains Chris Wallace or this guy will never get another interview with him again.
I'm not American but i loath to watch this, getting completely torn apart by Swan. That is the kind of opposition people need to see, uncut and uncensored. It completely shows what kind of fraud and con this orange human disgrace and oxygen thief really is!
He's the most dangerous kind of sociopath. One who is clearly far along in the course of a progressive neuro-degenerative disease (you can see his hands shaking) ; has no one to hold him back, and was never intelligent to begin with.
Boris Johnson is a culprit of that. It’s really hard to listen to them talk and it sounds like they are just repeating themselves using different word for 10 minutes
@@taraw4633 No problem! I'm really glad to introduce someone to an idea they find useful. I absolutely despise the Gish gallop. It is emblematic of everything that is wrong with the United States today. It is used by aggressive, dishonest people who DO not argue honestly because they know they CAN not argue honestly.
Exactly, he never had to raise his voice. He just kept sounding bemused & earnest, not aggressive, so trump kept going. We've had mail in voting in Australia for ages & it's just a part of our elections, no big deal. Best interview ever 😁
I am amazed that America have no real journalists left. Joseph Pulitzer is weeping in his grave. Unbiased journalism is almost entirely dead in the once great country of America.
i got that book but havent gotten around to reading yet. still reading Stephen King's "the stand", nothing like reading a book about a DISASTROUS pandemic to make the RL crappy situation look a bit more positive.
David ,I am so appreciative of your show! Thank you for sharing the honesty and encouragement that our country needs. I will continue to watch and share with my friends. Take care
It really wasn't that hard ball just basic questions with follow ups asked in a relatively gentle manner...given Trump even fluff's questions from Hannity such as "what are the priorities for your next term" he can't really cope with any interviewer.
If you think about any other President in that situation answering those same question I don't even think it would enter one's mind that it was "hardball". It's just that we've never seen the US media take him to task. Chris Wallace was very nearly elevated to sainthood just because he called Trump out on one point, while letting all the rest of his BS slide. So yes, this would in the circumstances certainly be regarded as a hardball interview - it just shouldn't be, in a normal world.
So strange everyone is having this reaction. This is standard journalism in Australia. Even on the state-run news channel here almost every night there is a high-ranking government official being held accountable by journalists. There is even a show once per week on that channel where members of the public can ask politicians questions and have them answer live on TV.
@@gavwah I mean Australian media is way better than US media but it's not even close to perfect. 70% of media traffic in Australia is controlled by Rupert Murdoch which means it has a massive right wing bias. As a result they tend to give conservatives and easier pass and either barely communicate with left wingers or do anything other than talk about policy with them.
@@gavwah You Ausies have elections right! Everyone MUST vote there, while here in the US the Republican Party actively disenfranchises people of color ALL THE TIME. Often, they do voter purges right before an election so that the voters who get "culled" don't even have time to re-register before the election! They use a Republican (Kris Kobach) created program called "Interstate Crosscheck" to find duplicate names on the voting roles. This causes people with the same name to be culled. It's especially hard on ethnic names. I mean, think about how many people in Texas or Florida might be called Juan Jose Gonzales. It could be HUNDREDS all across the state, all different ages, and they will STILL cull them all. If the newly disenfranchised former voters are lucky they actually notice the nondescript white postcard with a couple of lines of uninteresting plain, black text on one side that tells them they've been dropped from the voter registry. The most maddening part of it is that Republicans think this is good. They don't like little D democracy because they lose if there is fairness across the board. They can't win without gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisement and outright cheating, and they all KNOW IT. As LBJ (Democratic POTUS #37) once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." That is the Republican "Southern Strategy" in a nutshell. Republicans can claim not to be racist from now until the end of time, but it doesn't make their racism any less blatant and obvious to the rest of us.
Trump is not able to process information. He has his mind set and can’t hear the real truth. All he does is a circular argument that ppl with Alzheimer’s do
One attribute that continues to amaze about Trump is infinite ignorance. And the older he gets the more it grows. It's closely followed by his xenophobia and his paranoia.
David Muirs interview was pretty good, but he wasn't pushing hard enough. This guy was great. Not saying Muir was bad, just that he kind of gave up in speaking to an idiot, which is also good on Muir xD
I like this guy (Jonathan Swan) too and I hope we hear a lot more from him, but I do wonder, what politician would be brave enough to sit down to an interview with him after seeing him call Trump out like this? Almost all politicians would be terrified of this.
Congratulations on your Baby. I know that I'm 4 years late commenting on this but your post have been educating me. I just recently got into this Crazy politcal world. I'm trying to get out. I've always voted. Thank You!
@Josh Edmonds So you don't think while speaking at a civil rights activist's funeral, its disrespectful to speak about the causes the person fought their entire lives for.
@Josh Edmonds So there's no racism anymore? Is it gone? Our president, through his actions, did plenty of racist crap. He continues to spew racism. Show me the white person gunned down for riding his bike in a black neighborhood where the police and da elected to not investigate at all.

I wish we (Australia) could send you Leigh Sales from our public broadcaster, the ABC. She could interview Trump and he wouldn’t win a single electoral college. But bad luck: we need her down here to keep our politicians in line!
Lyn W -It took an Australian to finally have the guts to stand up to this disgraceful man. I’m not an American but I’ve been waiting for an interview like this.
Yes!! I have always been so frustrated by trump constantly claiming “Lots of people are saying it,” or “They are all saying it,” or any other stupid thing he says like that. I don’t understand how he’s never, until this interview, apparently, been asked to clarify who all those people are! Seems to me it would be a question as soon as trump says something like that. Glad this reporter asked, but of course trump would never clarify. All of those “they” or “lots” are the voices in his head. They don’t exist outside of him.
He's a clown who doesn't care about anybody but himself but #letsnotexaggeratetoomuchwithourhashtags.. There are people who skin or cook other people alive. Surely, they are worse?
Trump wouldn't last 10 minutes with a proper British political journalist. They would tear him to pieces. He would never have won an election because they would have demonstrated over and over that he is a moron who has no answers to serious questions.
@Anna133199 yeah they're worse. They don't deserve to live. Trump just shouldn't be president and I'm being kind. I don't think he sets out to hurt people with that being the end goal I just think he doesn't care enough not to if it gets him what he wants. Damn I'm giving strength to the argument Biden could be worse. I don't believe that you just reminded me there's worse human beings than Trump. It's sad that that's the case. They'll all support him I'm sure. He's pathetic but evil has a use for him
The same with his lick spittle followers who support and enable his every move. If the Republicans had voted honestly at his impeachment, we would not have this incapable person leading the Corovnvirus disaster.

I think it only works if you have a non-celebrity, relatively unknown journalist from a network that trump can't bash and make a target. The journalist also has to sound sympathetic, and be a white male, so Trump can't shift the target, use misdirection and red herrings.
I completely agree with you. Many are probably afraid of being called fake news, but it's their job to ask questions that are softball are hardball and it's Trump's job to answer them.

I am an Australian I do think that American journalists are pretty good. But I don't think they (the good ones) get a chance or get a hearing with Trump. Trump just silences them.

We already know that the 5 million illegal aliens that they have let flood across the border -they will want to allow them to vote which is illegal (MARK MY WORDS)! But they can’t use another virus. Trump should’ve commented on the chart, showing the mail in ballot dump in the middle of the night the day after the election - that type of chart coming from behind, only happens in socialist dictatorships! They can’t use the volume of mail in ballots that they did last time and we will watch to make sure the dominion voting machines are not online so they’re gonna have to come up with another trick.

Spot on.
He showed more remorse for Epstein and Maxwell than for the Americans that have died from Covid-19.
Terrible people make him feel better about himself.
Finally a reporter called Trump on his misstatements and his lies about facts. It's about time. Jonathan Swan is my new hero.
Tom Repoli An Aussie...

Shame Trump doesn't understand what Jonathan is saying.
@@lynw1623 Maybe Mr. Swan... I know I got tired just from listening to the idiot
Jesus, it's like trying to discuss probability and statistics with a dementia patient who barely finished high school
Yeah, that´s exactly what it is, in fact...
It _is_ trying to discuss statistics with a dementia sufferer who barely finished high school.
Well isn't that exactly what's happening?
Bingo

This was the worst of Trump He is obviously not understanding much.
Sadly, I think this is as good as he gets.
Just like his supporters
Sadly, the same can be said for his supporters.
He looked pitiful waving his little papers around with his tiny fingers , stupid arrogant orange face - freaking moron 👎

Every journalist should question and confront any politician with data and facts.
Thought the interview was hilarious. But one thing that’s driving me crazy is everyone claiming the US is still behind other countries in testing. This simply is not the case. As of Aug 4, the US has one of the highest testing rates in the world, by actual numbers and per capita. 174 per 100k, according to Johns Hopkins. It’s much lower in other countries. HOWEVER, positivity rates in the US remain substantially higher than other developed countries. It’s a critical distinction.
@@gloriaa2817 why is that a good thing? If we kept this under control from the beginning, we would have never HAD to do that many tests. If we didn't have so many sick people, we wouldn't NEED to conduct that much testing. He DOES. NOT. deserve credit for all the testing. If he had done his damn job, and not acted like it was just going to disappear, we wouldn't HAVE to test so much. Its a ridiculous way to try to measure success
@@gloriaa2817 did you miss the part where it's states that when you see a declining rate of infections or very few new infections there's less of a need to do more testing? That's the critical difference.
Every journalist in the US that had the ability to ask these questions and didn't MUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY.
@@gloriaa2817 we are number 17, which is not great. and when you compare it to the case loads, the reason we are even going up, is because the cirus is basically non existant in most other places anymore.
It takes a reporter who has lived outside America to do an actual real interview with Trump with challenging questions and willing to go beyond rhetoric. The saddest part is this Australian-American, who has lived in the U.S. for less than a decade, knows more about the American system than the damn American president! Look at the confusion on Swan's face at 5:31 - that is the look the rest of the world has every day with the stuff Trump says.
So true. First decent interview where a reporter actually asks critical questions, too bad it comes four years too late.. American News reporters are a disgrace and embarrassment.
Homemadegameguru That look at 5:31 is also the look many of us right here in the US have every day listening to the garbage that comes out of that little anus trump calls a mouth.
Yeh we definitely need more like Swan. Trump had to work really hard to get through that, and he totally cocked it up. Shuffling those papers was like watching a child in kindergarten handing the teacher a crayon drawing. Enough already!
I missed the part where Pence, McConnell, and Graham, thank Trump for allowing them to be a part of his shit show.
hate gets you cancer,
Good morning and MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA AND YOU AS WELL !!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING NEWS AND AMAZING PODCAST❤❤❤
This kind of disdain for the president’s nonsense should have been pulled out years earlier. Reporter is barely containing his disbelief.
Big problem is, this is a textbook recipe on how to not get any more interviews with important government officials. Sure, if everyone did it, the world would be a better place. But if some do it, and some don't, politicians will become very conscious about which interviews they accept. And the difficult reporters will find themselves unable to do their job.
I agree. The thing is, he usually doesn't grant such interviews, I'm very surprised he did this one. Often it's just Fox News interviews with really softball questions.
MasterHigure At least this interview will be remembered in what is otherwise a sea of inconsequential interviews. I didn’t know or care who Swan was before this but you can be sure I took notice now.
With a bit of luck the ball will soon be set in motion and there’ll be no hiding from the ridicule that is rightly his.
But yes there is every chance that this will restrict further interviews. To be entirely honest I’m impressed someone didn’t step in and pull the plug on that interview.
Got him by the balls he knows that women very well how do you think he met his wife.she was there in her house.
But here's the scary thing. I guarantee that Trump supporters watched this and thought he aced the interview.
1000 deaths per day: "It is what it is"
Is he just trying to lose at this point? One last grift, pocket campaign funds then sneak out of town like a snake oil salesman? Serious question.
Nah...he is actually that dumb and flailing and failing because of that.🤷♂️😏
I've given some thoughts of this as well!!!!
At this point I've had to accept that his supporters really are inconceivably stupid, evil, or both because they can watch these interviews and still feel proud to support Donald the Douche 100%
Well, he did stop almost of his advertising spending.
He doesn't really care. Neither do most of his supporters.
Unless it personally impacts them or their loved ones they don't care.
He just wants to win, he just wants to be powerful and if Americans die of Covid then...he will always blame someone else. Nevermind that he said multiple times prior to being elected that the President has ultimate responsibility for his citizens...and criticized Obama's leadership at every opportunity.
Other countries dealt with this better, we know it originated in China, we know they handled it badly. But the rest of the world has had stark differences in response.
He's now trying to push the narrative that other countries are having new surges...and while that is true, most are not as high as the US surge that began over 2 months ago. He brings up China, who topped 100 cases on more than one day and acted fast to contain it.
Australia... daily triple figure case rises, have put into place strict local lockdowns. As have Spain...the UK rapidly locked down a major city after a spike in cases, so quickly in fact that the locals had virtually no warning.
This interviewer guy rolled up his sleeves and said to himself he’s gonna do what needs to be done. Good on him.
it's not rocket science if you have read a psychology book to make a narcissist show what they are. The press are uneducated to have taken this long for one of them to get to this point.
But didn't.!
Nothing particularly praise worthy apart from his Attempt at a real interview.
I eagerly await a journalist who flat out calls Trump an idiot to his face........oh what a priceless tv moment that would be 🤩
@@krusher74 I don't think it's a matter of their being uneducated...I think in some cases it has to do with CONTROL, and fear of losing prestige or losing a job.
I've seen a lot of interviews of Trump, and there were so, so many questions that I often felt SHOULD'VE been asked of him in the interviews...
OBVIOUS and NECESSARY questions that would've made Trump trip over his own tongue, and expose himself as being either hypocritical, self-contradictory or grossly incompetent, but those kinds of questions are usually NEVER asked.
That frustrated the hell out of me as an American citizen.
Making the President look foolish in front of the world would no-doubt be a fireable offense; probably get you locked out of future press briefings, banned from the White House and/or vilified over social media... not to mention you'll be a prominent subject of Trump's Twitter rants!
IF you fear facing ANY of what I mentioned above (and they KNOW you are), you will be like putty in their hands.
Once an Enemy knows your fear, you can be CONTROLLED by that fear.
This interview looks as if Mr. Swan had NO concerns that would've made him bite his tongue.
I like that...a LOT!😊
Let's see if he suffers from any ramifications over this.
@@loveinspired7 yes i agree with you, the USA press has their hands tied if they want to keep their jobs, and that is the end or real journalism. The term "fake news" has ruined truth in your country forever.

"And then he started playing his invisible imaginary accordian."

Best interview ever. I hope people laugh at this decades after. Im proud someone pulled his teeth out and the laughing gas goes on forever and ever amen.
@@michelleflynn7485 The harder he plays the accordian, the harder he casts his magic super power spell of 'Believe my BS'.

Jonathon Swan should receive some type of accolade or award for this interview. He utterly, completely dismantled trump using his own childish logic with calm precision, refusing to play his predictable games. Well done, sir, well done.
Swan's Australian. In Australia, we get political interviews of this quality pretty much daily. As an Australian, it's endlessly frustrating to see how easy it has been for Trump to evade such scrutiny.
And I don't think Australia is the outlier here. From what I've seen, the same goes for pretty much every other developed democracy. It's the US that's the odd one out. While the US has some excellent journalists, it's possible for a President to avoid ever being interviewed by them to a degree that's just unthinkable to outsiders.
@@jk177717 ~ Your points are valid and as an American that consumes alot of political media from other countries it is an embarrassing situation I have watched unfold here for the last three years.
The sad thing is the questions weren't even especially tough. Trump is just so used to a sycophantic toadying "press" who don't dare ask difficult questions for fer of losing access to the white house that he doesn't know how to answer the questions of a person he can't threaten into submission.
There's a lesson here for people who hold power. Never surround yourself with yes-men and butt-kissers. You'll be left ill-equipped to deal with any real crisis if you do.
...This is pretty normal is stuff in civilized countries.
Exactly!
I can't believe they want this guy to be the president of the United States

@@MollTheLioness Yes, of course. It was obvious. person, man, woman, camera, tv - this were, I knew it, when I heard it the first time, obviously the words that first popped up in his mind. A big part of his vocabulary.
I’ve always wondered why every interview with Trump isn’t like this. Corporate media journalists don’t push back this much. They should.
Yes they should.
He also responds better to alpha male types. The reporter didn't take any shit and was on the truth offensive so you didn't see trump explode or leave like he does when confronted by women or men that let him talk over them but get confrontational. It's in his nature I guess..that's why he demurs to people like Putin
@@jenkem4464 I would like to point out that he was trapped in that chair , didn't have the luxury of walking out on reporters , ignoring them or having secret service escort them out or calling them names , as in "fake stupid etc."

To Trump: “PROVE I don’t know that Mr President”. But all Trump has to do is question someone to discredit them. Pathetic.

It completely confuses him though. He gets stuck on seeing facts only in a warped vague way. He doesn't have the capability of comparing graphs presented in different ways and then reasoning out the information to make a logical point.
But Trump colored them in himself, he even managed to keep the crayon inside the lines.
That's it exactly. They know he doesn't want real facts. He just wants to be told he's best all the time.
Remarkably, they've given up with captions, scales, bullet points etc. "Want a graph? Here ya go, Mr. President. Yes, you have the best graphs"

My Father in Law is a Trump supporter. We ask him, “Did you hear what Trump said about..(insert asinine thing he has said)”. My FIL replies, “Oh no, I never listen to him. I get the cliff notes from Fox News.” He wants it “filtered” through Fox News! When we tell him what he actually said, he says “Fake News!” He refuses to listen to/watch actual video. He says he can’t trust anything the other outlets put out because they doctor video and manipulate audio.
Why is it that US journalists can’t interview Trump like this?
Simple answer John Doe, not one journalist in this country.
Because they are all to worried about perceived personal repercussions. A little like Russians were with the KGB!
Cause journalists from abroad must be able to also interview their own not-retarded leaders... That simple
In order to get politicians to sit for an interview, they are promised softball questions and the questions are provided to their people in advance. The same is true with talk shows- there are no gotcha questions.
Because the networks generally aren't interested in creating conflict, and they want to maintain their access to the white house.
I'm sure even if Trump somehow remains Chris Wallace or this guy will never get another interview with him again.
It was unbelievable! Rambling, incoherent and beyond terrifying! It’s a miracle this country is still in one piece...
Is it though? (legit question)
Only just!

FINALLY a hardball interview,.
WHY did it take so long ?
It really wasn't that hard ball just basic questions with follow ups asked in a relatively gentle manner...given Trump even fluff's questions from Hannity such as "what are the priorities for your next term" he can't really cope with any interviewer.
Presumably because they know who not to get an interview from usually. But seemed to think Australians would be star struck or something
If you think about any other President in that situation answering those same question I don't even think it would enter one's mind that it was "hardball". It's just that we've never seen the US media take him to task. Chris Wallace was very nearly elevated to sainthood just because he called Trump out on one point, while letting all the rest of his BS slide. So yes, this would in the circumstances certainly be regarded as a hardball interview - it just shouldn't be, in a normal world.
yeah... where is Bidens hardball interviews? or I guess those are not important... it would show his dementia..
I just kept thinking "its like Australian David Pakman is interviewing Trump."

This journalist deserves a medal. He didn't back down.
So strange everyone is having this reaction. This is standard journalism in Australia. Even on the state-run news channel here almost every night there is a high-ranking government official being held accountable by journalists. There is even a show once per week on that channel where members of the public can ask politicians questions and have them answer live on TV.
Agree
@@gavwah I mean Australian media is way better than US media but it's not even close to perfect. 70% of media traffic in Australia is controlled by Rupert Murdoch which means it has a massive right wing bias. As a result they tend to give conservatives and easier pass and either barely communicate with left wingers or do anything other than talk about policy with them.
@@gavwah You Ausies have elections right! Everyone MUST vote there, while here in the US the Republican Party actively disenfranchises people of color ALL THE TIME. Often, they do voter purges right before an election so that the voters who get "culled" don't even have time to re-register before the election! They use a Republican (Kris Kobach) created program called "Interstate Crosscheck" to find duplicate names on the voting roles. This causes people with the same name to be culled. It's especially hard on ethnic names. I mean, think about how many people in Texas or Florida might be called Juan Jose Gonzales. It could be HUNDREDS all across the state, all different ages, and they will STILL cull them all. If the newly disenfranchised former voters are lucky they actually notice the nondescript white postcard with a couple of lines of uninteresting plain, black text on one side that tells them they've been dropped from the voter registry.
The most maddening part of it is that Republicans think this is good. They don't like little D democracy because they lose if there is fairness across the board. They can't win without gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisement and outright cheating, and they all KNOW IT. As LBJ (Democratic POTUS #37) once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." That is the Republican "Southern Strategy" in a nutshell. Republicans can claim not to be racist from now until the end of time, but it doesn't make their racism any less blatant and obvious to the rest of us.
Trump is not able to process information. He has his mind set and can’t hear the real truth. All he does is a circular argument that ppl with Alzheimer’s do

@Audrey Paulus I had a good hearty laugh watching this.... but honestly, I felt ashamed on behalf everyone who has ever been ashamed of Donald Trump!😁😁😁😁 Some parts made me cringe...
He's absolutely pathetic. An embarrassment to the US. How could anyone call themselves patriotic and support this mess.
Painful ... extremely painful. We didn't go to his inauguration, so we're Xed out ...
He's not a president. He's a poser.
Completely agree. He's a terrible person and an even more terrible of a Potus. I am truly embarrassed to be an America at this time . I hope that can change soon!
Trump almost never surprises me anymore but dear god what a train wreck.
I cannot listen to his interviews. It is made up bullshit.
You must be over 30 years old. Bullshit doesn't surprise you any longer? Live another 20 - 30 years and you'll be surprised when bullshit doesn't happen.
NYC125street This made my day. Thanks for the laugh!! 😂
Yeah, like who says "it is what it is" to deaths from coronavirus! PEOPLES FAMILIES ARE DYING THIS MAN IS HORRIBLE !
My exact feelings.
My quote for the day;
Donald John Trump is using our children as sacrificial lambs, to get reelected. "IT IS WHAT IT IS"!
Everyone should post on his twitter #baronfirst
In the UK a 'Trump' is a blast of hot air from ones behind-how apt!
He is like a child, trying to persuade someone "this 1 Dollar bill is actually and most certainly definitely a Millions and Millions of Dollars-bill, believe me".
He is a mouse studying to be a rat.
Wilson Mizner
Children are innocent. He's the drunk village idiot attempting your analogy.
He sounds like a 3rd grader who got an F on his homework arguing with the teacher why he really did it all right and deserves an A.
Great to see someone contradict and challenge Trump’s lies and bulls**t.
Trump is Right male in is a lot different anybody that's ever done it knows better you're trying to push another lie Democratic communist lies
@@tonycollinsworth7393 "Trump is right. Mail-in is a lot more different. Anybody that's ever done it knows better. You're trying to push another lie. Democratic communist lies."

It also makes it less clear that you are a brain-dead Trump-ette or a Russian troll.

I really hate that whiny, childish voice of his!
I really hate idiots voting for Kamala and buying her lies
He's all about the lies! Why can't people see it?
Seems his main concern about John Lewis was his lack of attendance at his inauguration... never mind everything else he accomplished.
His HATRED for Black people in particular is Revealing as well as his Enormous Ego and Narcissistic views. A Old Septuagenerian CHILD.
" Well John did not attend " My inauguration " is PETTY, VENGEFUL AND RACIALLY SAD.
AMERICA CANNOT GROW, AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS NUTCASE AT THE HELM.
Well.... that is because the rest didnt pertain to HIM. And he is only concerned about himself...
And apparently the buildings.... he went on and on about the courthouse in Portland. Didnt seem to care much about the people but seemed to care a lot about that damn courthouse. Lmao
Yeah he said there were 12,000 in attendance, just 988,000off request projected, that's all.
Dang reporter , never allowed Trump to get going playing a polka on his imaginary accordion !!
AND AH ONE AND AH TWO AND AH.....
Looooool
Send this reporter to every press briefing! Love him!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He is Australian. Australian reporters dont follow too many rules which makes them good.
Talking to Trump can make you vomit blood.
Honestly this was the most embarrassing presidential interview in the history of the USA. I was exhausted after watching the entire interview.
This is the Republicans messiah, to the rest of the world he's the village idiot.
Omg me too
Wait for it. So often I thought we reached peak crazy and suddendly he sets the bar higher again. In terms of crazy, he is his only competition
@@flowerpower5796 A narcissisically disordered person has no bottom. His niece, Mary Trump testifies to saying that her uncle has no bottom in her book about Trump. This man is traumatizing the United States.
I’m more embarrassed by the thought of Biden as our next president. He’s even too scared to debate Trump.
That was really difficult to watch. Trump is a terrible, terrible man.
He’s so earnest I actually think he really believes his own alternative facts . In his mind he really has handled it in the best possible way. These are schizophrenic levels of delusions of grandeur’s.
I’ve come to realise in our society being a massive self aggrandising lunatic makes you succeed.
I suffer from crippling low self esteem and bad self worth. I’m good enough at drawing to know I’m no where near good enough At drawing. I’ve read enough subjects as a layman to know I’ll never master any of them without devoting my life to learning.
I actually wish I was full of unwarranted importance and egomaniacal. I’d probably be a ceo or at least a Instagram influencer and not in my 30s with a degree, no real career , no hope of buying a house . Maybe I should just shove an ice pick through my nose into the frontal cortex and join the maga train.

I've always wondered why American journalists don't press him like that. Confront him on his lies.
Leave it to an Australian 🇦🇺
Because he gets flustered and ignores questions... “next question”
He can escape to oz and has the protected of the Australian goverment, your journalists have to live in the usa and might be protected by the us goverment or not as that depends on the whims of trump
I think it only works if you have a non-celebrity, relatively unknown journalist from a network that trump can't bash and make a target. The journalist also has to sound sympathetic, and be a white male, so Trump can't shift the target, use misdirection and red herrings.
I completely agree with you. Many are probably afraid of being called fake news, but it's their job to ask questions that are softball are hardball and it's Trump's job to answer them.
I'm not even American and this was peak cringe. Christ! 😣
Help us!
@@rocknrollrod5 lol
Same here. It was painful to watch, but at the same time, a little bit refreshing that someone pushes back so much in an interview against this guy. This needs to happen more often, and preferably even more aggressively.
@@rocknrollrod5 honestly, I would if I could. I'm sorry for you.
@@rocknrollrod5 I can't im from UK. We have an idiot in power too. Just not as bad as yours. Yet...
Trump isn't used to being fact checked on the spot. He looks like he's getting angry.
Love it.
He is not used to it because it is not fox news
🤪🤪🤣 T-RUMPY all mad LoL
Looks like his head's about to explode.
I am surprised he did not walk away.
This is historically and hysterically embarrassing, lol.😢😅😮😊😂🎉
I once thought there could never be a worse interview than the one Prince Andrew gave. This is certainly worse.
😂
TheRenaissanceman65 Possibly, but I could never bring myself to watch one. However, I still squirm at the memory of the Neil - Corbyn interview before the last election.
"It is what it is." - Donald Trump on thousands of Americans dying from COVID
MAGA
Making American Graves Abundant 😢😢😢😡😡
Are you saying it isn’t what it is?
The right lost their minds when 2 Americans died from Ebola and 12,000 died from H1N1 but praise 45 for his handling of a pandemic that kills 1000 Americans a day as he claims “it is what it is”. Their hypocrisy is disgusting.
John Are you saying that is an appropriate response he gave?
@@sherrykumar2883 koi
Oh man his face when he said "lower than the world" still cracks me up
Man had to aggregate global cases just so US numbers look less 😂😂🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
I mean he had to clutch at straws to make himself look better & look good, it still looks worse.
@@testlogin9716 Trump would never do anything of the sort. Frankly, I doubt he could correctly define the word, much less manage to do the math. Clearly, he had someone do it for him.
@Steve Whitford Honestly, I have to wonder about that. Is it more a lack of self awareness, or more an indication of how unaware he feels the rest of us are? I can't decide. Both seem so over represented that it's hard for me to judge.
Yeah I love Johnathan faces...like dude..tf r u talkin about!
🤣😂
The definition for "it is what it is" means i don't care that these people are dying..
The way he answered the John Lewis question shows what a despicable person he is.
Hey Herman Cain died of the covid pandemic in Tulsa Oklahoma in one of Trump's rallies not wearing a 😷 but he never mentioned him ! PATHIC .
Trump....me, me, me
totally
And his wife is as despicable as he is.
Nah. It just shows that he is a classic narcissist. He can only value things based on his own experiences with that thing.
that Aussie absolutely crushed him.
And he doesn't realize it.
Aussie, Aussie Aussie crushed the Orange 💩
His dad is the Medical correspondent for Radio National ABC. He too is like a dog with a bone.
@@helenmckee4646 it took one of us coz they too scared to say jack shit

“You can’t do that”....”why can’t I do that?” Brilliant. Can’t do that because he hasn’t got a chart as it makes him look bad.
David, please play this interview every week. It is not to be missed

He was not humiliated, he has no idea how ignorant he is.
Trust me he knows and his people will tell him whether he likes it or not. The problem is he's not going to care anymore which is dangerous and that's why he's been on this mail-in ballot bs and will continue to call out Biden's "low cognitive abilities" crap even though he's the one with the lowest IQ of any president ever known in history. It's really sad and pathetic.
The poor man is sick.
To feel humiliated you have to have a basic sense of perception which this old haggard lacks
@@metfreak100 He definitely understands Anger and Frustration. He chooses to suppress the more humane emotional range like empathy and sympathy. His father, Freddy Sr, taught him to NOT Feel Only to Crush (and have no mercy) that doesn't mean donnie can't comprehend it. He just refuses to acknowledge it.
@@KnowTrentTimoy no, he really does not have the emotional intelligence to feel humiliation. In his mind he killed the interview, in his mind he is the best president ever, and he really believes it. He is the classic sociopath.
Keep up the good work David. Trump is going crazy 🎉
American journalists please take note.
Exactly! Swan comes from a country where facts matter.
@@darylhaynes1025 Australian of the year please
They don't prepare much it seems. They should know the answers before they ask and be ready with the rebuttal. And don't ask anything that lets him give a feeling or opinion answer.
@@darylhaynes1025 There are journalists that do challenge Trump in briefings but Trump has the option to ignore, go to the next journalist, pretend he can't hear during 'Chooopper Taaaaalk!' or just walk out. They don't have the one-on-one like Johnathan had.
I am an Australian I do think that American journalists are pretty good. But I don't think they (the good ones) get a chance or get a hearing with Trump. Trump just silences them.
Which is interesting. Why did Trump agree to do the interview? If he feels that the media is 'fake' news, yet he agreed to do this interview.
I think this is THE BEST interview in history. The perfect interview.
I was saying that the Socialists/Communists we’re going to use those Covid mail in ballots to cheat on the election all throughout 2020 and sure enough they did that was so obvious. The question is how will they cheat in 2024? We already know that the 5 million illegal aliens that they have let flood across the border -they will want to allow them to vote which is illegal (MARK MY WORDS)! But they can’t use another virus. Trump should’ve commented on the chart, showing the mail in ballot dump in the middle of the night the day after the election - that type of chart coming from behind, only happens in socialist dictatorships! They can’t use the volume of mail in ballots that they did last time and we will watch to make sure the dominion voting machines are not online so they’re gonna have to come up with another trick. I have volunteered to stakeout ballot boxes in the middle of the night so they don’t stuff these ballot boxes like they did last time. But communists/Socialists have always been shifty when stealing elections all down through history!!!
Absolutely. Interviews with that talking rectum give Me hope he'll be defending himself after all his lawyers quit on him because they know he's never going to pay any of them
I’m actually kind of shocked Trump allowed this interview to see the light of day.
I agree.
Didnt think he had a choice, this is the same guy who thinks he can delay the election with everyone telling him he cannot that's including his own party
In his mind, he "aced" it. Clearly shows him dominating this tiny interviewer. 🙄
He probably thought that he won the argument.
He won't do it again.im surprised Trump didn't just walk away
When is Donald Trump going to DISAPPEAR from Morning 🌞 News? Why does the mere mention of his name make me nauseous?- Michael McClary, Professor of Trumpet 🎺, Georgia Perimeter College & GSU😢😮
Scary how comfortable he is talking about people dying. Just a monster
And his argument is it would've been worse if we literally did nothing 🤣
Well, he probably thinks they didn't come to his inauguration either, so like John Lewis they don't really matter.
Thousands of people almost daily
cmcordoYT My mom , says” I don’t know what to tell you “. Drives me nuts . And this is when I have been wronged by someone. That being said I am not a victim. I am responsible for every action I take either good or bad unlike trump.
The POS who went to a movie as his brother passed away,who googled his own niece and loves to state how gorgeous his airhead daughter is that if she wasn't his daughter he would have sex with her and has the son's day the same carp about their sister PURE TRASH him and his family!
Respect to Swan. I hope other journalists are taking note.
Trump is so stupid, it's frightening. Hopefully America will survive without any more damage.
I’m surprised Trump didn’t just get up and storm out. It’s his normal reaction when reporters push him for answers and correct his lies.
trump over talks everyone because he was brought up with might makes right. Come Nov he'll throw out all kinds conspiracy theories because he will do anything to avoid jail.
The thing that scares me is the months following the election, if Trump loses,you can do a lot of damage during that lame duck session.
@@BenBarredo Assuming he loses, I think he will squander it. Mostly fighting the results of the election, trying to convince people he was cheated, challenging it in court, ordering Barr to investigate the election, doing anything he can to undo the result. Not that that isn’t damaging, but other than the Barr party, it won’t be an abuse of the office. Thinking about six weeks of that before the Supreme Court rules 9-0 against him as the nation’s Christmas present. Then one more week of sulking, playing the victim, trying to start a civil war on his behalf. Then a mad scramble to pardon anyone and everyone that could incriminate him.
Why has Trump not been interviewed like this until now? For over 3 years, the American press has sat still and kept quiet like castrated idiots.
Well, his handlers had a severe case of the stupids to allow this. I'm OK with that. Keep trotting Der Dicke out. More votes against him.
Cuz he aint American, interviewer is British.
@@thedopeopera9281 interviewer is Australian when i listen to his accent
Trump is only granting interviews with Fox News...
Exactly , in general the USA journalists have been willingly impotent with a cock-eyed reverence towards to position of president. This could have been legitimately happening right from the start with openly calling him out in public to his face about the inauguration crowd or lack of it
Hopefully now the gates are open and we can see more Spartacus moments from them all.
