not yet at least. so i would say your first part slightly different. he benefited from the daily split screen where there was this comparison with donald trump, and now that s just no longer the case, especially with trump is missing his access to social media. my second factor would be that given the partisan times in which we live, unless america is at war, the days of a president having a 60% approval rating are over. the third point that i would make is i don t know that you re giving due credit to things that aren t going well on his watch, whether it s the continuation of covid, inflation, the border, the withdrawal of afghanistan, which seemed haphazard. i mean, there are a number of things that for better or worse they ve mohhappened on his watc and he needs to be held accountable for. the truth of the matter is americans don t vote on foreign policy. they subcontracted that to the
president. they wanted to get out of afghanistan. yes, it was messy. as i said he handled it badly but truthfully there is no elegant way to get out of a war you ve been losing for ten years. maybe he could have done the sequencing better but the people who should be held to account are the people who kept telling us we were winning this war for 15 years when exactly the opposite was true. so i think when you look at things like covid, you and i both know, michael, if more of the country adopted the strategy that he and, you know, all the public health officials say we should adopt, which is get vaccinated, we would be in a very different space. yes, we would have problems, but we d be in a very different space. i don t mean to minimize the mistakes he s made. he s at 44, 45%. that s very low. that s kind of in the range of somebody who has really had a
in the towel. we will win this war with this virus, but we will win it only because and because we apply the things that we have, the interventions. we are so fortunate that we have a highly effective and safe vaccine. we know what public health mitigations work. we ve got to hang in there. we can t give up. my next guest offers a different, some would say controversial perspective saying that we can t stop the spread so it s better to protect the vulnerable and live with the virus. it s a case he made a year ago in the great barrington declaration. monday those that pushed back is the now cdc director, yet in spite of all of today s headlines, dr. jay bhattacharya still thinks it s time to end this. welcome back. go ahead and give the short version of the these ice. sure. the key thing is we do not have a technology to stop the spread of this virus. dr. fauci is incorrect.
holiday. christmas has been safely celebrated ever since. even with occasional skirmishes like lawsuits to remove nativity scenes from public properties, which most americans have no problem with keeping, even though it can be seen as r violating the constitutional prohibition. as many as nine out of every ten americans say they celebrate christmas. though not all celebrate in a religious way. so, you and your kids can sleep easy, while waiting for santa. knowing that the spirit of the season has somehow survived and thrived despite all the trumped up warnings about the phony war on christmas. that s your reality check. i think we can safely say as we re drowning in poinsettias here that the war on christmas was the least successful war of all time. and not that you you can t see, but there are christmas lights on one of the cameras, wrapped around them here, multicolored christmas lights. we re all set here.
