Summary

What is this — high school? These approval ratings are in a time where most of the country doesn't approve of virtually anything. This concept is so antiquated, the pollsters might as well ask the public, in the presidential race, to vote for "Best Dressed", "Most Likely To Succeed", "Cutest Couple", "Class Clown", "MVP", "Best Smile" and "Most Likely to Bring Back Canadian Beer Through the Windsor Tunnel."

In this episode of Rumble, Michael Moore discusses the stupidity of presidential approval ratings and why it doesn't matter how low Biden's is because there still aren't enough Americans willing to return criminal defendant #4913961R to the White House. Says Mike, "Biden could run somebody over in the middle of 5th Avenue and it still won't matter. He will get a second term — and your brother-in-law is still not invited to Thanksgiving dinner this year."

0:00.0	Hello, this is Michael Moore and you're listening to Rumble with Michael Moore, my weekly podcast.
0:22.3	Thank you everybody for tuning in today.
0:26.4	And thank you for all of you who wrote me over the last week about last week's podcast regarding guns and my plan on what to do.
0:36.4	I couldn't give away too much of it and I probably gave way too much already just by announcing that I was going to do something to try to help put an end to all this madness.
0:46.7	But I just wanted to thank you, not only just the response but the ideas that many of you had.
0:55.4	New ideas, things we haven't thought about doing of how we could correct the epidemic of gun violence in this country.
1:05.3	It was heartening. I got excited about many of the ideas that you expressed.
1:12.9	I shared them with my crew.
1:15.7	Those who are already thinking and doing regarding what we're up to here on our end.

2:07.6	Apparently at what is a 38% 39% whatever it is.
2:13.5	It's now the lowest for a first term president ever or at least since whenever they started doing these approval rating polls.
2:24.2	It is lower than Nixon, lower than Reagan, lower than Bush one or two and lower than Trump.
2:36.1	Whoa.
2:39.9	Now I know the president's granddaughters and probably listening to this podcast and I don't know how often grandpa tunes into this.
2:48.6	But if you could pass this along to him, I just want to kind of interpret the meaning of this low approval rating.
