reporters yesterday after his remarks on the administration s covid response. watch this? vaccinated americans are wondering why they have to restrict their activities and health officials say most americans will get covid at some point? president biden: we ll talk about that later. come on. martha: he said he would look forward to that too. this comes from the associated press says the president held fewer first year press conferences than the five previous presidents. they ve asked jen psaki about this for months and some of these responses to that. he takes questions multiple times a week. hopefully we ll be able to add local interviews in the next couple of weeks. president is taking your question. this president has done 1040, 150 by now short q and as where
episode of veep watching this. brad, what do you say? look, first of all let me say this. the amount of time this network spins bashing the vice president is a real tell how worried you are about her as a future political leader in the democratic party. the thing she talked about there that is critically important is vaccines. that s a very substantive part of the strategy. vaccines, masks, tests, the administration is doing this. republicans are prolonging the pandemic because they aren t doing those things. martha: she was on the today show and the host felt it was a question that needed an answer from this vice president and we are not bashing anybody. we are looking at what is going on. that s a question she should have been really ready for. what s going on? there have been a number of failures. put them on the screen and look at them. the american people want a
success to success. sadly president biden has lost much of that forward drive. buck sexton co-host of the buck sexton and clay travis show. i want to play this quick clip of greg gutfeld summing up how politically alone this president finds himself at this moment in his presidency. watch. joe embraced rhetoric about as unifying as alec bald win showing up on the set of a new western. unified america against him. even his allies admit he went too far. when you lose al sharpton and dick durbin you are on an island and no one wants to get near you. the only way off is to swim right through it. martha: when it comes to democratic voters and polling, ouch. new poll shows 75% approve of the job this president is doing down nearly 20 points. usually within your own party you are 80 or 90%.

commentator keith ol berman calling on her to resign laura o donnell. childish words a melodramatic effects. this is what they don t understand is that kyrsten sinema and joe manchin represent the grassroots and average democratic voter. they re representing the nature. they look at the polls and go back home. they are the voice of the average person in this country in general. keep in mind, martha, the democrats use the filibuster just yesterday to stop ted cruz s sanctions on the nord stream pipeline. they used it to their advantage. it didn t pass because they enjoyed using that. kyrsten sinema and all the other people that disagree it s supposed to happen in the
