Did this N.Y. congressman just suggest Trump needs to be assassinated?



MSNBC, which Dave Rubin calls “a televised mental institution,” just invited New York congressman Dan Goldman on Jen Psaki’s show to discuss Donald Trump and the 2024 election.

Dave plays the clip of Psaki asking Goldman his thoughts on Trump’s indictment and upcoming trial for the events that transpired on January 6.

“He knows that the people who were there are his supporters who he riled up and incited to invade and riot at the Capitol and try to disrupt the proper counting of the electoral college votes,” Goldman said.

“His rhetoric is really getting dangerous — more and more dangerous — and we saw what happened on January 6 when he used inflammatory rhetoric ... and his recent social posts are incredibly, incredibly scary for anyone that might be trying to work in government. It is just unquestionable at this point that that man cannot see public office again. He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be eliminated,” he continued, while Psaki nodded along complacently.

“Did he say that the former president of the United States has to be eliminated?” asks Dave. “That seems a bit over the top.”

“The same man, who just 20 seconds before that, said ...Trump’s rhetoric is getting more and more dangerous, called for Donald Trump to be eliminated on MSNBC — on a show hosted by the former press secretary for the current president,” he sighs, pointing out the clear irony.

“Try to imagine if on Fox News last night, there was a congressman — a Republican congressman — who said that Joe Biden had to be eliminated. Do you think there would be a bit of an uproar today?”

Biden hits historically low poll numbers



Biden’s approval rating has just hit a new low.

According to a new ABC poll, 68% of Americans say Joe Biden is too old for another term, while his approval rating has dropped to 36%.

This is the lowest first-term number in the history of approval polls.

But that’s not all. In the same poll, it’s reported that 63% of Americans do not believe Biden has the mental fitness required to serve as president.

Mark Levin went on Sean Hannity's show to discuss, and he had a lot to say.

“Let me tell you something, Sean,” Levin says, “his poll number should be zero. I want to get something off my chest. This guy has a granddaughter. His own flesh and blood, who he pretends he doesn’t have. This guy has no class, he’s got no character — he never did.”

“Why don’t you tell that reprobate son of yours to take care of his daughter? It doesn’t matter how she came into the world — that’s your flesh and blood,” Levin says, referring to Biden.

Levin believes that the lack of discussion on Biden’s character — or lack thereof — is a problem.

“This guy should be getting a zero in the polls. And as well as his mental capacity, we ought to be talking about his character. He has no character, he has no soul, he doesn’t give a damn about his own family — you think he gives a damn about strangers?”

Levin says there’s a good reason why his lack of character isn’t discussed in the mainstream media.

“Because it’s putrid. It’s unconscionable. It’s revolting. As he shuffles around from place to place, as he pretends that he cares about other people, as he does a bad imitation of Franklin Roosevelt.”

“The fact of the matter,” Levin continues, “is this is a bad family. Whether it comes to their financial corruption, whether it comes to their treatment of women, when it comes to even treatment of a little baby like this.”

“As far as I’m concerned, this is a bad dude. He’s got no class, he’s got no character.”

Reaction to Jordan Peterson's Just Released Conservative Manifesto | Direct Message | Rubin Report

CNN's Jake Tapper finds out how bad Americans think Biden is at his job — and his reaction is PRICELESS



On “The Rubin Report,” Blaze TV host Dave Rubin spoke with James Lindsay, Libby Emmons, and Elisha Krauss about a recent CNN poll that shows President Joe Biden's approval ratings have reached an "all-time low."

On "The Lead," CNN's political director, David Chalian, told host Jake Tapper that Biden's approval ratings have hit a new low in CNN polling, tracking well below former Presidents Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and George Bush for having the “right priorities" at this point in his presidency.

According to the poll, the president's overall job approval rating is at 38%, while his disapproval rating stands at 62%. At least 82% of Americans think the current economic conditions are "poor," only 30% approve of how Biden is handling the economy, and a mere 25% think he's doing a good job of tackling inflation.

Tapper called Biden's dismal approval ratings a “somber outlook for the state of our nation” and tried his best to act like the poll results were "shocking" (despite looking anything but shocked by the latest poll.)

AOC admits Dems are in big 'trouble' ahead of midterms. Her solution: Biden should use executive power to ram through a leftist agenda.



Progressive firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez acknowledged this week that Democrats are heading straight toward a bloodbath in the midterm elections unless something changes — and quickly.

But the solution she offered to solve the party's political problems is a puzzling, if not unsurprising, one. Essentially, the lawmaker urged her Democratic colleagues in Washington — including President Joe Biden — to dig their heels in on radically left-wing governance.

"We need to acknowledge that this isn’t just about [the] middle of the road, an increasingly narrow band of independent voters. This is really about the collapse of support among young people, among the Democratic base, who are feeling that they worked overtime to get this president elected and aren’t necessarily being seen," Ocasio-Cortez said of Biden and the Democratic Party's cratering poll numbers in a recent interview with New York Magazine.

Recent surveys have shown what some are calling a "5-alarm fire for the Democratic Party" ahead of the midterms as Biden's favorability rating has sunk to 40% and battleground voters increasingly see the president and his party as "out of touch," "condescending," and not up to the task of leading the country.

But for Ocasio-Cortez, the issue is not the party's fierce commitment to a radical liberal agenda; rather, it's the party's alleged failure to push that agenda onto the American people.

She does mean push, too. The lawmaker implicitly suggested that Congress is unable to legislate the types of policies the progressive base desires, and so Biden will need to use his executive authority to ram those policies through.

"If the president does pursue and start to govern decisively using executive action and other tools at his disposal, I think we’re in the game," she told the magazine. "But if we decide to just kind of sit back for the rest of the year and not change people’s lives — yeah, I do think we’re in trouble."

What are the policies that Ocasio-Cortez is advocating for? According to the Washington Post, they include enacting environmental protections, lowering health care costs, overhauling police departments, canceling federal student loan debts, and expanding protections for illegal immigrants.

The Post reported earlier this month Ocasio-Cortez and her 97 Democratic colleagues in the Congressional Progressive Caucus have decided to demand executive action from Biden on a range of issues in hopes that the actions will save the party from an embarrassing political defeat in November.

The full list of the caucus's executive action "recommendations" can be seen here.

If not for the damage it would do to the nation, Republicans would likely welcome such an approach from Biden. All indicators suggest it would only give the Republican base more to rally around come election time.

Polls: Majority of Americans say Biden's first year was a 'failure,' Republicans hold substantial lead heading into midterm elections



Two new polls were recently released regarding the job performance of President Joe Biden, and they paint a potentially disastrous picture for Democrats heading into the 2022 midterm elections.

An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released on Friday finds that a majority (56%) of Americans think Biden's first year in office has been a failure, compared to only 39% who said it was a success.

There was also a majority of Americans who said Biden is "not fulfilling campaign promises" (54%) and is "doing more to divide the nation than to unite it" (52%). Biden campaigned heavily on the promise of uniting Americans.

A mere 30% of Americans feel as though the country is headed in the right direction. This is similar results to a Fox News poll released on Thursday that found just 35% of Americans believe the country is better off now than a year ago.

There were 38% of the NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll participants who said that President Biden's top priority should be inflation – far higher than any other issue. Earlier this month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the highest inflation rate in 40 years.

Of the respondents, 11% said Biden should concern himself about the coronavirus, and another 11% said voting laws were a top priority. There were 10% who said Biden needs to focus on foreign policy, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There were also 10% who believed violent crime was the most important issue.

Biden's job approval rating was a paltry 39%, down from 41% in December. There are 55% who disapprove of Biden's job performance and a whopping 41% who "strongly disapprove."

A new ABC News/Washington Post poll spelled even more trouble for Biden and Democrats in the midterm elections.

Heading into his first State of the Union address, Biden has a meager 37% approval rating – the lowest of his term.

ABC News delivered some historical relevance to such a poor rating of a president in their first year:

Analyzing data going back to Harry Truman's administration, only two presidents have had approval ratings this low heading into their first State of the Union address, which Biden delivers Tuesday. Those two were Donald Trump, at 36%, and Gerald Ford, at 37%. Disapproval has been higher, by a nonsignificant 3 percentage points, only for Trump. (More were undecided about Ford, then just five months in office.)

However, it isn't just President Biden who appears to be in political turmoil, according to polls. Democrats also face alarming polling numbers.

The ABC News/Washington Post poll revealed:

Seventy-five percent of Americans rate the economy’s condition as not so good or poor, the most in ABC/Post polls since 2013. The public by a 3-1 margin says it’s gotten worse rather than better since Biden took office, 54-17% (with the rest saying it’s stayed the same). That “gotten worse” number is more than double what it was when measured during Trump’s presidency in 2019 (22%) and 11 points higher than under Obama in 2012.

In early midterm voting preferences, the poll found that Republican congressional candidates have a 49-42% advantage over Democrats among registered voters. The GOP advantage spikes to 54-41% among Americans who say they both are registered and certain to vote in November.

"In the new data, among independents who are registered to vote – often swing voters – GOP candidates lead by 14 points," Langer Research Associates stated.

CNN's latest poll has truly awful numbers for Biden



Astounding new poll numbers for President Joe Biden show just how badly Americans think he's performing as president, with nearly six in 10 survey respondents saying there's absolutely nothing he's done that they approve of.

Only 41% of Americans think Biden is doing a good job, according to a CNN poll released Thursday. Most, a whopping 58%, say they disapprove of how he is handling the job.

The U.S. adults who are in Biden's corner are almost all Democrats. The president still holds an 83% approval rating among members of his own party, although that dropped from 94% last summer. Just 36% of self-identified independents said they approve of Biden's performance, and only 9% of Republicans approved. More Americans strongly disapprove of how Biden is leading the nation, 41%, than strongly approve, 15%.

According to CNN, Biden's numbers have worsened as the network's polling has become more evenly representative of the two major parties, rather than tilting toward Democrats as it has in the past.

Perhaps the most stunning number from the poll was that 56% of survey respondents who disapproved of Biden's overall performance could not name a single thing he's done that they approve of. Rather than say anything nice about Biden's job as president, they chose to say nothing at all.

"Look at how bad these numbers are," CNN's John King said Thursday, discussing the survey.

He observed that Biden's achievements with the coronavirus relief bill last year and the bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure package are not "sinking in" with the American public, which continues to disapprove of Biden's handling of the economy and the coronavirus pandemic.

"That is a stunning number of the failure to communicate the legitimate successes of the Biden administration," King said.

Whatever successes Biden may have had, and his opponents would contend there haven't been many; rising inflation and the president's failure to "shut down" the coronavirus as promised are leading causes for his poor standing with the American people. Biden's approval rating on the economy fell by eight points to 37% since early December, while his ratings for handling the pandemic decreased nine points to 45%.

Overall, 57% of Americans said the first year of the Biden administration has been more of a failure than a success, and there appears to be no universally popular way for the president to improve his standing because Americans are sharply divided.

On the question of how best to deal with the pandemic, 51% of survey respondents said that "it's time to learn to live with the virus," while 48% said that "stopping the spread of the virus must continue to be the highest priority."

Those numbers are split by party lines: Almost three-quarters of Democrats, 73%, said that stopping the virus needs to be priority number one, while 72% of Republicans and 54% of independents are ready to live with the virus.

"64% of people with children under the age of 18 said it was time to learn to live with the virus, while 54% of those without young children said stopping the spread must continue to be the highest priority."\n\nKarens and AWFLs are the Dem base.

What does unite three quarters of Americans are feelings of pandemic "burn out," with 60% describing themselves as angry, 58% saying they are worried, and nearly half, 49%, saying they were confused.

CNN's poll was conducted by SSRS between Jan. 10 and Feb. 6 among a random national sample of 1,527 adults initially reached by mail.

Gallup poll finds a massive shift in political preferences away from Democrats to Republicans



A new poll from Gallup found a massive shift among Americans away from the Democratic party toward the Republican party.

The poll found that quarterly averages for party identification in 2021 showed that about 40% of Americans considered themselves Republicans in the first quarter, while 49% considered themselves Democrats.

But by the end of 2021, only 42% of Americans considered themselves Democrats while 47% considered themselves Republicans.

Those two margins were also the largest that Gallup had measured in thirty years.

Both the nine-point Democratic advantage in the first quarter and the five-point Republican edge in the fourth quarter are among the largest Gallup has measured for each party in any quarter since it began regularly measuring party identification and leaning in 1991.

The authors of the poll said the high rates of party identification likely followed upon the unpopularity of former President Donald Trump at the beginning of 2021 and the unpopularity of current President Joe Biden at the end of 2021.

In a separate poll from Quinnipiac released on Wednesday, only a third of Americans said they approved of the job that Biden is doing, while more than a majority, 53%, said they disapproved of his decisions as president.

Vice President Kamala Harris (D) didn't fare much better in a separate poll that found only 44% of people approved of the job she was doing, while 54% said they disapproved.

The midterm elections are sizing up to be disastrous for Democrats, who already have an uphill battle to retain control of Congress due to the number of vulnerable seats that will likely flip to Republican control.

The Gallup poll was conducted from telephone surveys with 12,000 randomly sampled U.S. adults.

Dems reportedly worried Biden's 'scary' poll numbers will lead to midterm bloodbath; some start to distance themselves from the president



Democrats on Capitol Hill are reportedly becoming increasingly worried that President Joe Biden's cratering favorability ratings may lead to a bloodbath at the ballot box in 2022.

Multiple members acknowledged to Politico over the weekend that the poll numbers underscore a changing tide in American politics that the party needs to respond to — and fast. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) called the president's numbers downright "scary."

The new president has seen his ratings plummet in recent months as multiple crises — including the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the crisis at the southern border, and the struggling economy — continue to grip the country and voters place blame at the feet of Biden and the Democratic Party. That's not even to mention the emergence of the new COVID-19 variant, Omicron, that has much of the world on edge.

Meanwhile, Biden and his team have insisted that Americans will come around and simply "don't feel" the positive effects of his accomplishments yet. Democratic lawmakers facing re-election in the coming year are not so optimistic.

Politico reported Monday that "most Democrats are worried that Biden’s flagging polling numbers — with an approval hovering in the low 40s — will lead to a thrashing at the ballot box" come midterms, unless the president somehow pulls out of his current slide.

Even the party's own polling has Biden under water, the outlet noted. Three members reportedly told Politico that a poll from House Democrats’ campaign arm earlier this month showed that 52% of voters disapprove of the job he’s doing and that the president is down in battleground districts across the country.

Some, like Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), are choosing to put a positive spin on the dilemma. They reportedly believe that things will turn around once the party finishes passing marquee legislation and gets back to campaigning.

“We’re in a difficult period now. One of the challenges we have is, we’ve been legislating this year, as he has,” Casey argued. “While you’re legislating, you’re not communicating.”

"Theoretically we could finish a historic year of legislating for the middle class in the next month and spend all of our next year talking about what we did," Murphy added.

Others, such as Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) and Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.), are not so sure the solution is that simple. They appear to be content to create some distance between themselves and the president.

“I really don't care at all [about the president's numbers], I've got my own approach to doing things,” Golden told Politico, adding that he outran Biden in Trump country. “What I know about his approval ratings right now versus my own is that I'm outpacing him by about 30 points."

"I care more about my own numbers," Wild added, noting, “I honestly believe that in my district, and in many districts, that it’s a mistake to try to tie your election or reelection to any president.”
