Hello and welcome to this late political gab fest.

For July 14th, 2022, it's the lowest approval rating edition. I'm David Plotz in Washington, D.C., back from Vermont,

sadly, sadly back from Vermont. I am joined, as per usual, by John Dickerson of CBS News. Hello,

John from New York. Hello, David. And Emily is yawn and beyond.

I don't even know where she is on vacation.

I hope relaxing, deserving, deservedly relaxing somewhere.

And we have a special guest, I think his first, his debut hosting, the Gabvest, I believe.

Not certainly on his debut appearance.

Mark Liebevich of the Atlantic author of thank you for your servitude.

Fantastic new book that came out this week about Trump's lackeys, minions, and licksbittles that we're going to be talking about.

Mark, welcome to the Gab Fest. Hello. So good to be here, David, John. Happy to be here in any capacity.

I've always been considered myself a friend of the

Gap Fest, occasional visitor, but this is a whole new capacity, so it's an honor.

This week on the Gap Fest, why is President Joe Biden so unpopular and could it get even worse for him?

Then we will talk to Mark about his darkly comic new book and about the recent January 6th committee revelations.

Then Herschel Walker knows almost nothing about anything exaggerates lies and misleads, has a worrisome personal history, and will still probably be elected sender from Georgia.

We will talk about that.

Plus, we'll have cocktail chatter.

Joe Biden's approval rating is 33%, which is lower, I think. It's a different pollster, but lower than Trump's was at the end

of his presidency. Most Democrats say they want someone else to be their 2024 Democratic presidential

nominee. Biden, who's already the oldest president, would be

fantastically, unprecedentedly old if he were reelected and 86 when he finished a second term.
