they care about is power. not the people. acting as the party of no substance and self-interest. and that guy that campaigned on uniting america, joe biden, can t even unite his own party. instead, he is focusing on policies that divide his own supporters. people are unsatisfied and turning their backs on him in record numbers. now, he has lost the media, too. they aren t covering for him anymore. in fact, their asses is on the line. cnn is flat out admitting that the president is failing. watch. there is brand new polling out on the presidential approval rating and it s not good for president biden. i wanted you to look. these numbers kind of differ. they range from the low 30 s to the low 40 s. low fourths is not good either. what is key is the low rest are tied for the low for the pollster. lowest here, lowest here. this is one point off the lowest. lowest here. and whether you have three or four pollsters showing the lowest numbers for the president of the united states that is
kind of wield against the concerns about inflation. what isn t clear is whether he has a pathway to actually bring them into law. and dominic, president biden has shown the world that he can unite nato allies and get them all on board to apply these severe economic sanctions on putin and russian s oligarchs in order to apply unprecedented pressure on russia in the hope to stop this war. but uniting america appears to be a greater challenge for him, doesn t it? was there anything he said in his state of the union address that signaled he could unite not only the country, but also his own disenchanted democratic base? i think ron pointed to that. i mean this was the bipolar aspect of what he said today. the state of the union is of course to address the state of the united states today. having said that, the broader global context is extraordinarily important, and there is so much uncertainty with how this is going to unfold
get them all to coordinate and apply the severe economic sanctions on russia. and effort to end the war. but uniting america has been elusive. hasn t it? that s an even greater challenge apparently. for him. was there anything he said in his address that signalled he could unite this country? and indeed his own democratic base. i think it s really important to look at the context at which he took over. he took over obviously after the trump presidency. that proved to be incredibly, extraordinarily and polarizing. the whole question of unity has been a campaign component. and for him and it was there throughout the speech. the international situation is something that solidarity demonstrated is something that president biden would like to see mirrored at home. i think that the ukraine crisis could provide that kind of opportunity. the crisis in ukraine is a crisis around way of life. it s around democratic ideals.
they told us to shut up when we spoke up. we re not going to be treated like beggars in the dessert. now we are veering into war? and biden is back in europe? the president cares more about uniting nato than uniting america. joe jetted to have brussels so he can fight for your honor harder than he fights for us. we get it we want peace in ukraine but we would like some peace in our streets here at home, too. ukraine is interacting us. while joe tries to get his groove back overceases. how bad he has been in the u.s.a. biden is under water on nearly every major issue from economy, russia, border security, inflation. i haven t seen marks that bad since i was a high school sophomore. yeah. i was a little bit of a late bloomer. so, don t ask nancy pelosi she
brussels. the talk has to be tougher. nato and the u.s. have to be more aggressive. now we re veering into war and biden s back in europe, the president cares more about uniting nato than uniting america. i think the impulse, the emotional impulse to say do something, is president biden doing enough to communicate to the american people how complex the realities of this are? i m very pessimist ific about biden just because he doesn t seem like he s in any particular rush to fix this. howard: joining us now to analyze, mollie hemingway, editor-in-chief of the federal and a fox news contributor, and in new york, liz claman, host of the claman countdown at 3 eastern on fox business network. there s a fierce media debate whether president biden should or could do more to help ukraine beyond his harsh words about putin which had to be immediately retracted by the white house.
