Is this the same interview is the one for zero tolerance?
Is the interviewer camera shy? Or afraid to be seen in the same room with a conservative?
Would love to see the unedited version of this interview !!
Ann, who would you have recommended Trump hire and surround himself with? I'll wait for your answer ...
SERIOUSLY, TELL US OH WISE ONE, WHAT SHOULD THE VOTERS DO?
Thank you PBS for allowing a person to speak uninterrupted and letting us decide whether she's worth listening to.
Won't last once brainwashed leftists start converting.
@Joanna d'Arc At least you aren't hyperbolic.
impurfekt She is not worth listening to.
Yes, PBS and NPR are among the very few outlets that are journalistically responsible. That's why this is the first time I have ever listened to Ann Coulter. It was ....... interesting.
G G vice versa
The interviewer shows excellent professionalism by leaving his ego out of the interview.
Totally professional, totally smooth. "Let's just hear this all out." Let cooler heads prevail in this nation!
I strongly disagree, he just knows overtalking and interrupting Ann like other liberal media sources do to their guests just equals lower ratings and wont stop people from voting red!!
Liberal Democrats never allow Republicans finish a sentence!
--@@7777lizabeth- ... on the contrary. Ann never lets her 'conversant' finish a sentence or a point.
He leaves out his ego AND any ulterior agenda he might have had.
Fantastic interview. The public would trust the media a whole lot more if more interviews like this were conducted. Well done Frontline.
Except when interviews like this don´t get the views. Show me the Fox viewer ("mainstream media lies!") who follows with interest a one hour discussion. It´s up to us consumers. Since we don´t read newspapers anymore, they struggle. It´s all about supply and demand, and these days the demand is on Tiktok format.
Dear PBS, this interview was AMAZING! You asked amazing questions, and then actually let the guest talk and explain their position.
Dear PBS, thank you for being one of the very last beacons of actual & quality journalism.
People would trust the media if interviews like this were the norm. Great job PBS.
Props to pbs for posting the raw interviews. The final show was a hit piece but this interview and the Bannon interviews are priceless.
They're becoming irrelevant and must do this to survive.
@@etherealcatholic5711 I good interview 1000 bad ones. The fact I have no idea who is asking the questions is good.
Im guessing some of you guys only started paying attention to the news media after 2015. The news media gets these wealthy establishment elites to show up on their program by being nice to them.None of these wealthy people would show up if they were just going to get heckled the entire time, let’s be real
A perfect example why Estrogen driven decisions are dangerous to an economy ,, Women understand make up ,, and money grows on trees..
. WOW the delusion of this woman is amazing . FEELINGS based Politics is a failed proposition ... And Obama was a sex symbol to this fruit loop
Wow! An interviewer who actually interviews, rather than debates the guest.
That's not a 'good' thing. Giving a rambling idiot a platform is not 'journalism'. A good intervierwer will allow the person to say what they want, but then will hold them to fire to back up their bullshit (or fail to do so).
Fully agree- but I think that's where people don't know what they are consuming- journalism is one thing and opinion host/debate shows are another- the problem is that too many people think opinion hosts and debate shows are news! Goes back to grade 8- know your sources.
Exactly my thoughts. How refreshing.
Wow!
Who cares what you think?
bikebudha01 hahah real “journalism” is telling people what they should or shouldn’t think ... classic
Coming here as a progressive, socialist loving, British gay male. Not one to usually comment, but bravo to PBS for this great show.
It’s striking to me that when stripped back to fundamental principles, Ann’s beliefs in this interview aren’t too far from mine.
Ann speaks beautifully, and I appreciated her take on political adversaries. She’s provided a great example here of how to discuss conflicting ideas without the venomous attacks and intensity that’s become the norm, both in US and UK culture.
I am usually cautious of listening to interviews like this because of the ‘them-versus-us’, personal and divisional attacks aimed, but I admire Ann’s respect, humour and humanity in this video.
Even with views that I didn’t like or support, Ann’s research to support her argument has reminded me of compassion and reasoning that’s missing in today’s age of free speech.
Less of the blame game, less vitriol, but holding people to account when appropriate.
A willingness to engage and listen to counter arguments is important, and I enjoyed questioning my own views while watching. I think humility is missing in today’s political arena, and I thank Ann for adding to my hope for more harmonious government practises.

These interviews are fantastic, whether you agree with the interviewee or not it really gives you other perspectives. So refreshing these days
Imagine saying on Bill Maher that 45 would win, being laughed at, and staying composed. Not a fan, but I'll give Coulter props for that.
@@marvinburkholder8907 Is this sarcasm?
So what, Bill Maher also predicted Trump could win.
It wasn't that hard for her to maintain her composure . Look at who was laughing , the imbecilettes lead by Bill Maher .
That prediction was before the first primary when he was at like 20%.
She's is a troll but certainly not dumb
Before seeing this interview, I only saw Ann in short interviews and I always thought she was going for controversy and shocking people. And here, she is given plenty of time to answer without being interrupted. And I'm really surprised on how well spoken, intellectual, and how her responses make so much sense. I'm also really surprised that she is critical of both sides of the political spectrum. And yet I always thought she was after the left and never the right. Well said Ann.
Don't believe all you hear.
@@goodguy5595 Definitely. You want to do research on your own and draw your own conclusions. I'm just saying its fascinating to see Ann in a different light then what I am used too.
@@fitnessfreak7851 good luck on your journey. The truth is hard to find.
Fitness I feel the same
Don't base your opinions of anyone on 5 second slices of MSM commentaries. Like Luis said, read any of her books.
This interview is almost a throwback in terms of balance and style. I was thinking back to an old Malcolm X interview with several people who politically ( and probably racially ) hated him and yet the interview -on both sides-was extremely civil and revealing. Not to mention memorable. Listening without posturing is the only way any real conversation can take place.
Do you have a link to this Malcolm x interview?
I actually like what she said it was respectful and on point.
She is far more interesting than I had thought. I'm a life-long Democrat and I have been wrong about Miss Coulter.
Faithin Verity now consider why is it you held this misconception for so many years if not a decade? What was it about how you had these thoughts that were so misaligned with reality?
What was it about you that allowed yourself to believe the collective slander and lies that have been always towards a conservative successful independent woman like Ann Coulter?
Now imagine how the media and those that live in insulated isolated coastal bubbles do this with everything else.
This was just one woman that lead you to have a misconception held for multiple years.
And you believed such lies with very little reported on her, from a few vitriolic hateful slanderous words.
Now imagine an actual concerted effort, and how much it brainwashes those on the left..
I think I've only been aware of her existence since 2016. And by opinion has been formed based on what I've heard he say, until now.
These interviews are remarkable in a couple of dimensions:
1) the answers are shockingly candid
2) the answers are shockingly similar
3) the interviewers are well informed
Faithin Verity I don’t think you’re being entirely honest with yourself and how much your own biases has kept you from reality like in this instance. But that’s no surprise. It requires a healthy level of willful ignorance and cognitive dissonance to buy into a swath of lies and multigenerational failed policies.
John Wolf you’re sorely wrong and misguided in whatever idea is floating around in that low IQ brain of yours. Seems like you’re guilty of attempting to do what you’re stating here. How about you work on yourself before opening that dumb entitled mouth of yours?
Faithin Verity thank you for an open mind
We need more of this in Media. Let people have a discussion in long form instead of sound bites. Thanks PBS. Thanks Ann for being on and sharing your thoughts.
kalimarus She has always been willing and able to go anywhere to discuss her ideas and views.
I saw both interviews with Steve Bannon. In the actual documentary they made, they took a statement Bannin said about Trump and made it look like he was talking about Obama...
@@markuhlman3767 it's almost like PBS knows it's doing wrong with that documentary and is doing penance by leaving these wonderful unedited interviews up
Too bad she didn't share her thoughts on how she got disbarred from practicing the law, eh?
@@justafanintexas7913 As far as I know, she's never been disbarred and is still, currently, a lawyer. Got a source on that?
"If he cared, he'd hire the right people." Yeah, that pretty much sums up the Trump presidency.
"I'll hire the best people."
This is a great, thought provoking interview, regardless of one's views. Bravo PBS. She is actually allowed to speak and develop her points.
@Mike Delmore
It’s just another reason why I don’t watch PBS. Why is PBS interviewing Ann Coulter? I try to tell people that the mainstream media has a bias for republicans, but they think I am crazy.
@@giantsr1eva You are crazy. This is an exception that proves the rule. For every Republican given a fair hearing, there are dozens of libs given much more time. Even the way the questions were framed revealed the biased assumptions of the interviewer although he did allow an uninterrupted response.
@@MrAquinas1
I see republicans on the mainstream media almost every week, not just Fox News. Why did PBS edit a Jill Stein video when she is a far left person? The mainstream media wants us to vote for republicans like Donald Trump and democrats like Eric Adams.
@@giantsr1eva why not interview Ann Coulter?
@@ronaldramos5541
I wasn’t objecting to interviewing Ann Coulter, I was calling out republicans who think that the mainstream media is against republicans.
Ann is EXTREMELY intelligent. She sees almost everything, and has the ability to give wide perspective of things. Wish she could be an adviser to the President's cabinet. Deep down she does seem to love our country and wants to see the common people succeed.
Look at her footnotes.... in her books.
@Charles McCarron Americans in WW1WW2:)) You're probably kidding... You are a fake history country. And you belive in fake idols
@@highpriority4015 STFU
@Charles McCarron i worked with a guy named Charles McCarron. Long Island NY .late 80s
Douglas Smith whoa, slow down there Doug. She’s got a good pulse on the people in office and an understanding of populism but that doesn’t mean it’s a good understanding of policy and governing. She’s an author, and by definition, makes her money from her celebrity and sales.
The lack of public outrage on the bank bailouts is stunning...
Obama's cabinet was selected by CitiBank, Wikileaks told us that. So all the Democrats and Republicans were really happy with the bailouts. It is us independents that were angry.
People don't understand it and The media didn't educate them. The only thing that motivates the public i to ignore media lies s discomfort.
Chad Allen it’s because Democrats tell people one thing, promises them things will change, lies to them telling them what to think in some weird white liberal ethnocentric way... it’s always privileged white democrats telling minorities what to think, telling them they are victims, telling them who their enemies are, and only did this since 1960’s in order to gain their votes while doing nothing to improve their lives.
If you understand that the pillars of economy are the availability of credit and interest, its really not hard to see why the bailouts were a necessary evil.
@@cartesian_doubt6230 And don't forget multimillion $ bonuses for the guys that caused the crash. In exchange for the bailouts, at the very least, people should have gone to jail instead of getting assloads of free cash for committing innumerable crimes. The US Government held all the cards...and rewarded the bad guys.
I am very libertarian I love Ann Coulter and I love this program on PBS PBS gets credit where credit is due they let the interviewed say what they want to say I love you Ann no punches pulled
Can you imagine Lauren Boebert or MTG trying to carry on a coherent conversation with Ann Coulter?
I'm amazed Frontline let Ann Coulter speak for extended amounts of time. Good for them.
Well, it's a program on PBS. Aren't they supposed to reflect the beliefs of the "public"? What is sad is that people are amazed that they are doing their publicly funded job, which is what they were supposed to be doing all along.
Goes to show that you Fox News viewers don’t know anything about PBS. Because they inform and deal with facts, and sometimes those facts reveal some negatives about the Republican Party, Fox News criticizes, but as a progressive, I love unbiased reporting, well researched reporting and programs, and I can make my own conclusions. Watch PBS and read the Christian Science Monitor and you’ll be better informed.
seeky907 ,if I goes down with truth and justice in mind, those that seek the truth will be saved.
Have you ever tried to stop Ann from speaking?
@@impitt28 in fox viewers defense, they chopped up this interview and put ominous sound effects in while talking about trump. Goog on pbs for releasing the long form interviews though
Corey Booker: Obama's country cousin.
Ann, savage AF
IF he wanted the wall we would have a wall...period.
FOx is never going to be in favor of building the wall, e verify or any limits on cheap labor.....period..no not ever.
YEs he is a lazy narcissist AND he doesn't want a wall..the only positives he has gotten done is expansion of the economy, showing the central admin of the EU, China, N Korea, and Iran for the paper tigers they really are, and the limitations on Muslim immigration...that's it...good things but his number one promise to build the wall he doesn't want to get done...that is it.
gotta love women with an Adam's apple
@Joanna d'Arc
Simply judging by your handle, you never had an original idea.
Even Ann Coulter, Makes A Lot Of Sence Sometimes, Damn I Can"t Believe I'm Saying That!!!
Thank you! PBS and Frontline, I hope you can keep up with this kind of integrity work. Because I will keep listening and watching.
“Cory Booker looks like Obama’s country cousin”... omg 😳 😂
Hahahaha! That was rough.
Victoria Garcia jethro and jethreen?
she’s not wrong...
The shade is knee deep... already girl
Forget looks. Obama sounded cool, calm and collected; Cory Booker sounded loud and excitable, not reassuring.
I don’t agree with her politics, but I have to admit that she’s a very smart woman and make some very valid points.
Anyone who doesn't agree with@Greg Bors is a racist.

Id be interested in a Veiw point, you disagree with. Sincerely, with respect.
Nadi Nadi same 💯🙉🤯👌🏻
Only points she makes is to sell her books.
@@elik.webber7630 then your not trying very hard
Ann's right. The American people are sick and tired of politicians who refuse to represent their interests but instead represent the interests of the US Chamber of Commerce, Boeing, Raytheon, etc..
We will be heard or heads will roll.
No one has the balls to make heads roll anymore. You must be speaking figuratively.
Glad to see that we still can have an open conversation with hard questions. Bravo for Frontline. This is the kind of reportage that mainstream media have forgotten and has been lost for the past 10 years and have deepened the divide.
there were no "hard questions" AT ALL, and no follow up or push back
Very professional. I can't remember the last time a reporter just asked questions and listened.
He will be punished by his corporate overloads soon enough.
It happens all the time on PBS. It seems so many conservatives are really good at bashing PBS and it seems they have never watched it?
@@jazzjames You are mistaken. THIS interview was NOT aired on PBS and this does not "happen all the time".
@@mattpatterson9496 Frontline airs often.This is the level of journalism on that show. Here's an idea...wait a year after THIS comment like you did the last one before you say anything else moronic...
@@jazzjames "This is the level of journalism on that show" You are mistaken again. This was one of the source interviews for the actual show they aired; which was far lower quality than this interview. Please link to a frontline episode that aired on TV that you believe compares to this video here.
Notice how I don't have to use ad hominem fallacies in my comments to make a point. Your comment quality is on par with PBS :)
I can't believe that I am sitting her agreeing with Ann Coulter.
Why. Are you left wing?
It's funny how more clear things are when that bubble pops hey?
It’s crazy how much groupthink influences us. I like to think of myself as a very free thinker, but even I had a negative impression of Coulter. I was very wrong. That said, this long format is just 100% better than the short interview format of most media and she’s is purposefully provocative in those interviews.
I can't believe Frontline would ever give a conservative an unbiased interview. Just come here to see if it is for real, and leave. Won't waste my time with Frontline - to much bias.
@@1rumplestiltskin1 awesome comment. I used to go to protests when I was younger. I was siding with people who hate me (Leftists).
Thankfully Frontline is continuing to have hese long deliberate interviews
Magnificent Interview informative no Bs.
Interviewer was fantastic I do not believe he interrupted one time.
Fascinating to hear the true behind the scenes maneuvering that resulted in Trumps agenda being derailed.
Huge supporter of Ann for 20+ years. At first I was bothered by Ann's attacks on Trumps strategy .
Now that I have learned the whole story it makes sense. I agree with her 100%.
She's right. It was never "racist" to have laws and restrictions on European immigration. 44:30
@E George lied too by the press, ecoNazi BS, Hollyweird propaganda, and finish it off with FemiNazi.
DEMOGRAPHY IS DESTINY !
@E George ----No, with the UK's recent pro-Brexit election landslide European Nations are beginning to realize that you don't replace your people or our superior cultures with an immigration invasion from hostile areas like the Middle East where their are taught hatred and hostility toward Westerners from their birth!
------------------------We all know such immigration invasions as that taking place in Europe are a prescription for disaster for any nation including the United States, that can no longer be tolerated by Western Nations of the, 21st century!
I wish people would focus less on race and more on culture.
@@patriottroll1764 both are intertwined and anyone who refuses to acknowledge that is in denial because the truth is ugly.
Thank you for the long format interview. It’s helpful to hear a person speak in a non-sound bite format. It’s also helpful when the interviewer isn’t simply trying to argue their position. I’m impressed that this station would do this type of interview.
They do it all the time. Long interviews that are not rushed for the next commercial.
As deep as the issues they're discussing were, they all sound so quaint and uncomplicated compared to now. It's only 11 months later and this sounds like a completely different era.
History, Baby!
Hate to break it to you bud, but it only gets worse.
Ann Coulter is a reputable public intellectual. She is a great communicator. She has plenty of civic courage, and is a true blessing to our country. Anne Coulter is a Great American: I think, she would make a Hell-of-a-Good President!
It's hard to believe she's 58. She looks phenomenal.
She definitely looks great!!!
58?? Pff
Yep, she’s 58. Born 8th Dec 1961
@HMQ I like how she looks. And she s smart.
I generally like Ann, but I never found her attractive, either in her hard body looks, horse face, or condesending manner. People see long blonde hair and they think "attractive". I agree with her usually, even like her but as far as being attractive - not.
I'm impressed and mildly hopeful to see PBS doing long form interviews. Thank you!
That's what PBS does.
I get your sentiment, because practically no one else will do them these days.
oh my gosh.. Ann is so well spoken n i am so shocked to see her in this light. i love that they post the unedited interviews for clarity. how awesome.
i’m so shocked to see this side of her. i’ve only seen fiery clips of her.
And that is one of the main issues with short-form media, in a nutshell.
Where have you been, Ann? I miss your wisdom and intuition.
Wow, an interviewer that encourages a flow of information without agenda or bias
There’s an agenda in Ann Coulter mind.
@Rich S - Ask her how she lost her law license. You did know she was disbarred, right?
justafanintexas That’s not really relevant to this though is it?
@Rich S - I handled the first five complaints against her before the Virginia Bar. Now what?
@@unpopulartea1220 - I's keeping it real when talking about a pure phony.
This was a very fair interview. None of those leading questions and condescending assumptions.
Yes it was a rarity.
they didn't need to when they cut out 99% of what she said when they put it on air
What could PBS do to make interviews like this even more fair?
What do you think about the town hall forums?
@@nodozhit Town hall forums are a terrible idea. They need a credible interviewer who takes the subject matter seriously and does their homework, and is sufficiently empathetic that they can create a comfortable feeling for the interviewee.
It's going to be incredibly difficult for PBS to accomplish this unless they support journalism that has empathy for the worldviews of citizens who live outside the coastal cities.
@@davedoe6445 you never been to one?
As soon as I think I can't tolerate her anymore, she says something I totally agree with.
She does that a lot. I wish more conservatives were like her.
You need lessons on how to judge one better, eh? When does she explain getting disbarred from the law? You know, manufacturing evidence for presentation on Immigration Reform while working for Michigan Senator Spencer Abraham. And let's not forget the 38 charges of legal plagiarism to that end as well? Well, Ann, when do we get your "side" of the story where you got caught red-handed? Well?????????? Well?????????????????????????????
Her articulate confidence seduces even the liberal listener into tacit agreement, as if she's speaking perfect sense. But lift the veil and so much of it is just obscene demagoguery. And how she delights in herself.
@@christopherhull232 Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were talking about Alexandria "Crazy Eyes" Ocasio-Cortez.
She's alot different when away from Fox news - cnn, fox, manic are all alike though. Don't like any of them because their extremist media!
I remember watching her on Real Time and listened to everyone laughing at her and thought, “Oh my god, she’s exactly right.” She wasn’t telling you what she wanted/preferred, just what people were all going to do. She’s more in the middle than she lets on, most people are in the middle on politics.
You obviously don't know her.
Read her.
Democrat here. VERY good interview!!
Honest and accurate IMO. If the news actually reported this way there wouldn't be such divide today.
Jsyk I am a Republican (more concerned with my views than the party but for the sake of making the point in this paradigm I am the party opposite of you) and I don't discount the importance of statements like that from opposing camps (potentially). I do the same as it relates to Democrats when I agree with what is being said or done. I am not with that whole it can't be a D and I will support it even if I agree 💯. I won't hesitate to say I like Tulsi Gabbard and much if what she stands for, some of Elizabeth Warren's sentiments, old Bernie sentiments and James Trafficant. And forever and always non-interventionist sentiments from anyone on the left. I canexpound and get more particular with my views and the connections to the prior statements but to keep it simple I very much like the ability for parties and coalitions to pop up in Europe so much easier there (really at all because they can't here).
Curtis Forbes in depth interviews are the best. I agree with much of what Ann writes about the more I see what she talks about. I was listening to Victor Davis Hanson talk about the town he was raised in and how it’s changed, deteriorated, over the years and the huge numbers of illegals, and gang bangers. He talks about how the area was family farms and manufacturing, friends would graduate high school and get great jobs and how it was all wiped out with globalization, illegal immigration and a bankrupt state. Often I don’t even recognize the town I spent 35 years living and working in, Santa Barbara. I walk around on the Westside and it looks like Mexico or some other Central American country.
Hey. Quit identifying by party. These parties do not represent you. They represent alternate desires and needs. Therefore you need to vote by what the country needs most at that time. Each party has its strengths and weaknesses. In 2008 we needed a Democrat to reverse some if the toxic shit that Bush did. In 2016 we needed a republican to reverse some of the toxic shit Obama did. And thats exactly how I voted personally. I voted for Obama AND I voted for Trump. A constant democratic presidency will eventually lead to legitimate communism. And vice versa. Vote for current necessary policy. Not party.
@@melissaattaway7426 It is actually crazy to think about. A huge nation with only two parties. And they are part of peoples identity. What a recipe for a chism
As a totally neutral here, as a European I simply cannot believe how on point is this woman! She speaks the truth which doesn't fit into the liberal mainstream bubble. Thats why many hate her for this! Political correctness is history, America is waking up.
I've always found Ann Coulter to be very intelligent and witty. I am very liberal but appreciate her at times.
She is brilliant and amazing.
lol
She is right about a whole bunch of things..
Atlas Latest ,not everything, I watch some of those meetings Trump has, action speaks louder than words, Trump love America and the people. Like many conservative people ,that get rich, history shows they desire to give back. PS conservative not many of the democrats can or will hold this view. No longer a a democrat is writing this, the party is corrupt ,and it holds some of these views even from the constitution. Especially seen from the formation of the Republican Party, main reason was to fight slavery, but this encompasses the idea ,that men were undermining the foundation of the constitution. Free economy, a government that limits government, that limits law and regulations and put the overall power in the people’s hands.
@@jerrettfeatherston7530 I agree not everything.
Jerrett Featherston did OP say everything you jackass? At last Latest said a whole bunch of things in case you can’t read.
@Vlodec that Trump isn't a genius he just picked up the 1000 dollar bill on the floor. Many not all but a large majority of white Americans feel that between the robots and the immigrants we don't have a prayer. She is right that giving mass citizenship to millions of immigrants like Regan did creates even more imigration. She is right if Trump doesn't build that Wall he's gone.
@Vlodec it's seems like your the narrow minded one. Many white Americans are sick of illegal immigration on our dime. We feed your kids, educate them, heal them, give them work, give them clothes, and give them a future on taxpayer money..... Yet homelessness amongst vets is sky high, banks get away with murder, immigration is keeping wages down. Not everything but it's a start.
I’m a center-left libertarian type myself, and I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. While Ms. Coultier and I may disagree on some things, it is refreshing to hear how much liberals and conservatives have in common. I think we all realize that we are living in a nation that does not work for working class people, but our methods for getting to a solution may be different.
Center-left libertarian ? That's a Oxymoron !

Because you are a Idiot if You just now realised she's a patriot.
When she said, "This isn't make a wish foundation" LMAO
“Oops...oops!!” 😂🤣😂🤣. Ann is HYSTERICAL!
I always really liked Ann Coulter just because of the way she looks and talks. I never really listened to her because I feel she is being purposely inflammatory. However, now, listening to her for perhaps the first time ever, she makes sense. I can see why people think she is racist and hateful, but I really think she is being very rational at the cost of being empathetic. People hate that. Reason without empathy. But, I am drawn to it.
"Cory Booker is Obama's country cousin"
Ann Coulter's best.line.EVER!
Yeah, that was good.
Out of this whole interview, this is what you point out?
“Best line ever”, these “lines” & sound bites are the sensationalism that takes away from real current events that devour society through creating television personalities. Making fun of people has nothing to do with ideas of governing.
@@taylorb.heydman3237 u just now watching/reading
Her best line was, “personally I think I’m a moderate and everyone else is insane.” That’s a good one there.
She's not exactly wrong about Booker being a less talented politician than Obama.
He doesn't really have a future beyond the US Senate.
Look everyone! An actual journalist performing an unbiased interview. Subscribed.
6:53 Don’t agree with Ann on almost anything, but I agree with her opinions on the bailouts
I enjoyed hearing Ann Coulter being so calm and intelligent. And the interviewer seemed one of the best. Thank you.
“Fainting Victorian virgins”😂😂😂😂
I'm very liberal and I absolutely love Ann Coulter. Regardless of what you may think of her, she's not afraid to state what she wants, but does so with eloquence. Moreover, she doesn't necessarily side with an individual based on their political party, she's very independent in that sense.
I don't love her but I do respect her views because they are indeed that, hers. She doesn't spout off talking points. Says it how she sees it.
I agree. But would someone tell her to stop combing her hair with her fingers?? It's so disgusting I can hardly listen.
I love your intelligent, unemotional comment. That's exactly how more people should be. I believe in a certain thing but I can appreciate other people that might not think like me! Good for you!
Edward like you I'm liberal. Although I've never liked Ann Coulter, however recently I've garnered a great deal of respect for her and her intelligence and strong speaking skills. But mostly it's because she is one of only a few people who willingly criticize Trump
@@jeremychamberland7712 "she is one of only a few people who willingly criticize Trump" What country do you live in? It is 24/7 bash Trump all day everyday for almost everyone in media with a voice.
I have a new found respect for PBS Front line. I always thought they were just another liberal media bashing and judging conservatives. You actually asked fair and intelligent questions and genuinely listened. Well done! Do this more.
lol ... well congratulations on pulling your head out of your bubble.
This was fantastic. Best interview I've seen in a long time. Keep it up.
Whether you agree with the speaker or not - this is a textbook example of how interviews should be conducted. This is what journalism should be.
This is how you interview a guest!
Real news
What a great interviewer. Miss this sort of thing. Agree or not agree its about getting in the interviewees head and letting the audience decide.
I'm over 60, female and white. I voted for Obama twice, the first time I'll admit, his race played a roll. I wanted a black president. I'm sick of the racisim. I'm not a fan of Ann because she took ONE ISSUE (immagration) and was OK with Trump. And how did building a wall help any? We are not going to resolve the immigration issue with legistlation, it can be better resolved with dipolomacy. But I do agree with the point she made that Politicians and Wall Street don't want this issue to be resolved because they provide cheap labor.
Ann Coulter is knowledgeable, intelligent and has a developed perceptive on how
and why politics deserves our attention. She has certainly helped open my eyes.
Yeah right. She is a republican who says things so she gets attention. Your comment is clearly shill, maybe even bought by Anm herself it is so positively unrealistic.. and Ann is a realist so youd gotta be ignorant to ignore my facts
Wow she actually acknowledged that he is in no one's corner but his own..........i'm shocked.
And therein lies the problem--why he isn't doing anything about immigration despite the fact that he had the House and Senate and, according to Ann, has executive power! He is not representing the people, he's representing himself and he is a member of the Oligarchy. I refuse to believe that Ann is not intelligent enough to make this connection. Maybe she's too afraid to say it herself so is trying to get us to draw that conclusion?
Conservatives have ability to disagree , Democrats lynch or cancel people with whom they disagree.. they can't debate anymore, just cancel everyone calling racist bla bla..
@@politicalflashback.880 i strongly disagree with this. mostly because 1 conservatives rarely disagree. we have seen this over the past 4 years; anything trump said became gospel and no one would dare dissent. meanwhile 2 we are never seeing people get canceled for having dissenting opinions among dems. there is MUCH more variety of beliefs among the democrats which is frankly why it’s hard to unify like conservatives do. and we are open to call out our own. conservatives do none of this and are monolithic. they will throw out all of their opinions as to fit the status quo. why do you think ann has to speak in select interview venues and we haven’t seen much of her? because she doesn’t agree with current republicans and calls them out.
@@politicalflashback.880 That's the dumbest comment I've ever read.
This is what a good hair day looks and sounds like! lol
For real!
She's pretty unhinged and hard to watch, but glad it's available. Thanks PBS!
Great interview. As was Oxford Union. It's good to hear Ann without usual howling opponents. Also, how much she goes after Republicans. Her analysis is hard to resist.
Thank you for the thumbs up.
Do keep in mind though, her stances are old antebellum high society racism. Polite racism. She is right about how the media handled donald. She doesn't seem to understand the constitution its amendments, or how the legislative body attempts to prevent said abuses.
She thinks trump can just racist practices into existence with the swipe of a pen. 😆 😆 for a political pundit she seems to not get how things work. Its odd.
@@jusded6803 The 'everyone who disagrees with me is racist' argument does not convince anyone; and is intellectually lazy. There are legitimate criticisms of the right you could learn and articulate but that would take effort on your part.
@@jusded6803 you are lazy in your child like analysis.
The establishment COMPLETELY understands.
They just have COMPLETELY different aspirations and priorities.
And the establishment controlled both parties.
Slappy you spelled Jewish Zionists wrong
zaxx19 you spelled house 3 blocks from the ocean wrong
@zaxx19 you think you understand the geopolitical dilemma that the west faces, but you don't actually and never will until you realize that there are no coincidences.
@zaxx19 well now you're just getting hysterical in your emotional overreaction
She's what they call an odd beauty. She's been around forever. Still looks good.
She's so sensible and well spoken.
…and fixated on her hair, and waiting for the 'liberal' PBS to ambush her (that never comes) and lying to the interviewer because that's her go-to Republican reaction, etc., etc. She's a fucking right-wing traitor, looking for a book deal. Get wise.
Ann on emigration " America is not the battered womens shelter for the world " saw that in a interview a couple years ago ,love her
Neither should the rest of western civilization be the battered women's shelter.
Then America should stop laying waste to foreign lands.
@@jacqdanielesThese foreign lands have always been shitholes without America "laying waste" to them. Western civilization is the exception, not the rule. Millions of lives were sacrificed to leave behind a better life for the following generations.
@Robert Rinaldi - get an education. Your ignorance is stunning.
I think he better finish that wall, or else he loses. An unfinished wall is a great big visual reminder of an unkept promise. I won't vote for him unless that wall is built.
I don’t always agree with her, however I love how blunt and fearless she is.
She lays it out there and doesn't pull pull punches and I really believe she's right. She's disappointed, as well as some other objective conservatives out there, that so much more could've gotten done and done better.
robinflea in difference to Trump and other ‘conservatives’, she makes valid points and while she’s blunt at times, she is never lacking respect and decorum. She would make a great politician.
That's how conservative women are, freeless.. the Conservative men may back off not Conservative women. They fight back like no other. They showed during 2016 Election.
Racism WILL NEVER be resolved until the end of the Earth time. Every persons heart condition is subjected to hatred, indifference, justification ( right or wrong). The human conditions are fragile. Expectations minus reality equals disappointment.
How, does she consistently strike the nail on the head? It's uncanny!
I know things are BAD when i find myself-for the first time ever- agreeing with A.Coulter.
No... She's exactly the same. Lol You are just waking up and realizing that you have been badly manipulated to not even consider listening to certain ppls opinions (bc they're so powerful). So congrats on being open to outside opinions and don't stop! It's the best way to figure out what your actual opinions are lol hearing BOTH sides. Scary to the MSM bc the truth IS on our side. They made me dislike her for no reason too but I have been red pilled for almost 4 years now and now she's like my hero!
Yes its really disconcerting listening to ANN COULTER and not fuming at every word out of her mouth. Still think she',s a racist immigrant hypocrite though, out for a racially heirachichal America when her forebears were immigrants.
The left is even warming up to Mitt Romney for calling out and standing up to Donny.
@@pirjocheerio4016 That sucks I'm so sorry for you
Felt the exact same and I've despised her for so long
By sounds of this Trump should have done a bit of consulting with Ann . She makes it sounds so easy. Woman has balls and is so smart.
if she was so smart she wouldnt still be such a staunch republican these days.
A perfect example why Estrogen driven decisions are dangerous to an economy ,, Women understand make up ,, and money grows on trees..
. WOW the delusion of this woman is amazing . FEELINGS based Politics is a failed proposition ... And Obama was a sex symbol to this fruit loop
@@tylanmdotcom How would a big man like you drive the economy? Let me hear it
@@kebabfoto I would collapse organised crime and gangs from the inside and turn around the abortions from 188 per 1000 potential live births , not by law but by women's choice . This plan will drop crime in the USA by
72-84 % ,.The plan is to simply overturn the prohibition of Prostitution and Cannabis . Crime bosses will go out of business .and municipal judges would be bored rather than overwhelmed . Prohibition creates black markets , and Imprisoning people only cost taxpayers 31,000 a year per inmate ,,also leaves the wives and mothers to the taxpayers care.. I have a littoral ton of documentation and charts and graphs if you need to see them ,, but i suggest you look them up yourself , for my intent you might learn how to do research for yourself .. I have already brought this plan to the attention of the congressional think tank , and have gotten good reviews ,, Secondly I would Impose a $ 500,0000 for anyone housing or employing an illegal alien ., They would deport themselves and not return ,, IN turn creating 22 million jobs for documented American citizens ,, that's two pieces ,, I have a page more . For over 110 years women have agreed that it is The governments right to determine what they may and may not do concerning their own body ! I feel it's time to let government know it is NOT their right !!
@@kebabfoto The biggest flaw in the plan so far is the millions of secular women who would be ineligible to even be a prostitute, due to the STD testing standard of the industry .. AKA the worlds oldest profession
i love how obvious it is that ann loves obama. she doesn’t even try to hide it.
Great interview, great from both ends! I have a lot of respect for Ann Coulter despite being on the opposite side of the political spectrum!
Hard to imagine she is 58 years old.
Capricosm Whaaaaat!?!?
And she doesn’t even need adrenochrome to do it. Kudos Ann
She's a disbarred lawyer, too. But you knew that, right?
@@ecr-9341 - I was one of the 5 attorneys who brought her before the Virginia Bar on the first 17 complaints. If you think I'll give my name, you're nuts. But you've proved you can't research for fear of seeing the truth.
@@ecr-9341 - Or, we could wager $25,000?
Ann is a conservative republican I’ve respected for years. Nice interview PBS
I actually like Ann when she’s not throwing Molotov Cocktails for the sound bite. But in her defense, if she didn’t throw those we probably wouldn’t know her name.
She’s an intelligent nuanced thinker who, even when she’s wrong, makes a great point.
Dissent is the lifeblood of Democracy
Great interview! She brings up many good points.
I'm not a Conservative nor am I a Liberal, and when I first heard her years ago, I didn't like her, but in recent years, I do. She makes sense.
As a independent i agree with you.
I am a moderate and I agree, the past few years she has started to make more sense.
Well I think you guys should research her better, only because She is trying to speak with a less extreme and gentle way than before but his mind and extremism is the same.
She has always made sense. The problem is the media manufactures opinions about the people they dont like.
she comes across decently here, but she has penned some incredibly hateful and racist articles for breitbart.
She's absolutely right about immigration, and for that I'm willing to believe everything else she says. The wealthy don't care if they reduce the working class to 3rd world poverty, because the wealthy are gods in the 3rd world.
I remember 35 years ago when I didn't see nearly as many Hispanics and other non whites. The minimum wage was $2.25 then four years later it went to $2.35, you're gonna blame low wages on immigrants? You must be f*cking kidding, you must be!
@@michaelbyrd7883 if you can't figure out basic economics you shouldn't be a part of the conversation. More cheap labor = stagnant wages. Its simple supply and demand. This is why corporate America has pushed for mass migration for the last 30 years.
Seriously? She wants to tax receipts! That is asinine!
In 2024 we STILL want to stop illegal immigration. Great interview! Ann Coulter is always right on.
Anne is so bright and naturally beautiful. I adore her! Keep writing Anne and defending our once great Constitutional Country.
She has a quick and agile mind and is a pleasure to watch.
ole Iron Ann can always be counted on to refuse to bend the knee
This woman is the best American ever and every time she opens her mouth she’s honest, even when she knows she’s going to be attacked.
Ann is awesome!
Corey booker, Obama's country cousin..lmao
Obama well spoken...
fizzle fizzle FAIL FAIL ;0
It says more about how superficial she is, especially since she is not a comedian.
@Moderate American I don't understand what you're implying. Don't take it personally, but it seems like you just strung together a bunch of words and names and covert racism.
With that aside, how did you come to the belief of that is true?
What are the fundamental similarities between Obama and Booker, other than them both being duly elected representatives of minority concerns that are distinguishable in the same manner of comparing someone like Trump and McConnell for instance simply because they are both older white male Republicans who are advocating political control and conservative viewpoints?
@Moderate American in Booker's defense, he was on the political scope way ahead of Obama. Booker was a well known advocate for reducing the crime rates in his city and empowering the inner city people of Newark. He was known to speak out against Obama when he found a reason to. He also turned down a job offer from Obama.
Personally, I know that word "racist" is easily thrown around by bigots. Just because you fundamentally oppose or disagree or disapprove of someone who happens to be of a different race, does not mean that that person is racist.
For someone to honestly say that Obama is a racist is just as crazy as saying that he is native born Kenyan citizen who wasn't raised by his white grandparents in America.
Unrelated, but Ann has really great hair.
Ha Ha, yeah and doesn't she know it. Never seen anyone as proud of their hair than her... fluff...
do u think she dyed the bottom of her hair?
Great hair, great figure, massive brainpower, net worth of $8.5 million, what's not to love?
Anne likes to talk.
She also has a weird speech pattern..it’s as if she’s speaking with puckered lips..
Kudos to the interviewer for not interrupting and turning it into a shit show
