All right. Welcome to the bonus show. Glad to have an opportunity to catch up with folks. Update on my movements. I am going to Texas tonight. The next book event is Friday morning. This is a complicated one. It's Friday morning at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Texas. Now, here's the deal. I have an event where a political reporter will be interviewing me about the book. It's very early in the morning. My understanding is that that's only open to members of the Texas Tribune. Now, I think that means people who have ever subscribed to the Texas Tribune. I don't know. But that's at 8 a.m. The important part I've been told to communicate is I'm going to be signing books at the Texas Tribune Festival at 9 a.m.
local time. So it's Texas time, central time on Friday, 9 a.m. Friday.
Why did David’s photo with President Clinton spark criticism about the Epstein list?
I don't exactly know whether you need a ticket to the whole festival to come to the signing or whether it's just a ticket for the day or whether that's the same thing. Like I've had to relinquish control because there's so much stuff going on. But we do have a link to that event at David Pakman dot com slash attention. So you can see the info. But 9 a.m. in Texas, in Austin, Texas, I'll be signing books. The next chaos is friends have been texting me saying there is a nor'easter coming. So are you going to be able to get back to the northeast after your Texas stuff? And the answer is I have absolutely no idea. I don't know. Hopefully I am. I wanted to address something that came up yesterday. Some of you who follow me on social media may have seen may have seen.
that I posted pictures with President Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative yesterday. And we're still figuring out what we I'd like a ten minute conversation with him. And we're trying to figure out what to do. We have video, we have pictures. Most people thought it was super interesting, but there were some reactions I saw in the comments from people going an Epstein Lister. David, you talk to a guy on the Epstein list. How dare you?
What did David learn from his informal chat with Bill Clinton about AI?
And I really am trying to figure out like everyone in my personal life thought this was such a cool opportunity. You know, when I came here from Argentina and then started a little independent show and I never imagined I would be meeting with presidents. And so to me, it's like I I've said if Donald Trump gave me the opportunity to interview him, of course I would do it. If George W. Bush did, if Barack Obama or Barack Obama, if either of them. if you're in the space of doing political commentary, of course, you would meet with or interview presidents who are either current or former presidents of the United States. But there were people going, are you kidding, David, the Epstein list guy? Now, I don't even think we need to, like, adjudicate the Epstein list stuff with Clinton.
Like, my understanding is that, like most powerful people, he knew Epstein. But he sat for this deposition or this, you know, sat with the House committee, answered all questions. My takeaway was he was completely honest. And when he found out about what Epstein was up to, he didn't associate with him anymore. Like, are people trolling me? Or are you really saying, David, despite Clinton being completely forthcoming during the testimony and no evidence that he was involved in wrongdoing related to Jeffrey Epstein, I should have said, no, I won't meet with President Clinton. Like, that just doesn't really make any sense. And so what I'm trying to figure out is, does that represent like a tiny sliver of the audience?
And it's not even necessarily the audience. It's people who just are algorithmically shown this picture of me with Clinton that's on my Instagram. And they go, what can I criticize David for? Or like, what about you all people in the membership of the show? Did I do something bad by agreeing to speak to President Clinton? Now, by the way, I have to tell you, one of the things we spoke about, this wasn't really an interview per se. It was like a, hey, how are you? What do you do?
