mike huckabee? >> well, if it's anything other than outrage that the system is determined to destroy donald trump because they don't like what he's going to do to their petty little institutions, then we probably don't deserve a president that will go and clean house. but, frankly, i don't know of anyone who can than distractions that donald trump can handle. he's shown time and again that he still wakes up in the morning and keeps fighting. most of us would have curled up in the fetal position crud up under the bed and it would have taken a fire truck to get out. >> sean: think of what we've just gotten with the durham report. we now know crossfire hurricane should have never been open as an investigation. we now know the fbi gave hillary clinton favorable treatment. we all know the fbi lied wind unverifiable information as the bulk of information to spy on a presidential candidate and a president, and nobody was held accountable. that is -- we might as well sled our constitution if we allow these

former arkansas governor mike huckabee joins us now.f those nobody's don't approve is there any way joe biden can win re-election? >> it sure looks tough. i mean, no president has ever had these kind of numbers and still won in a second term. it just hasn't happened. now, granted, we're early into this process and a lot of people are already looking at it as if it is final. it isn't. but, if i were joe biden, i would be really rethinking this idea of saying i'm going to run again. if i'm in the democratic party i would be in an absolute panic. those are dismal numbers. not just bad. they are dismal it. really shows that even democrats don't believe he's got what it takes to go to a second term. >> ashley: which is concerning for the biden team. but that poll also shows americans are favoring trump over biden 45% to 38%. to say go even further, americans are favoring florida governor ron desantis over biden 42% to 37. governor desantis hasn't even announced is he going to run yet. what does that signify to you? >> it signifies i ought to

governor huckabee, how do republicans counter this plan?hey're going to have a lot of money and they are good at getting the vote out early and good at doing the ballot harvesting. >> yeah, i mean their attitude is vote early and vote often and they're good at that. we all understand it. but let's be very clear. when joe scarborough says this party, the republicans are radical, they're extreme. i want to say who are the people that want to take a baby out of the mother's womb at the point of birth and end the baby's life. that's pretty radical. that's extreme. who believes that open borders are okay? that walking away from a commitment to a country in afghanistan and the people there and leaving just millions of dollars of hardware on the table for the terrorists to take. that's pretty extreme. if joe wants to talk extremeity he needs to look at the biden-run white house and the democrats, the crazies that we've seen in congress this week, and we ought to say, yeah, if our contrast is what we believe and what they believe, let's put that on

and mike huckabee, former presidential candidate and fox news senior political analyst.thing that the majority of americans have said again and again in these polls, is that one, he's too old to be doing this job and he's not getting the job done. >> you know, trace, i'm listening to that i'm thinking gee, i was a pretty normal guy. i'm younger than biden or anybody else that seems to be leading the pack right now. but i didn't get that far. so maybe while people say they want a normal human being, they never elect one. so i enjoy the interview immensely. i find elon musk one of the most intriguing people. i'd love to meet him. i like his candor. i find it refreshing. >> trace: it is hard to argue as the governor was saying, it's hard to argue that there's a lot of dissatisfaction in this country with president biden. elon musk saying we want someone normal in office. it's also fair to point out that elon musk is the one that he said he thinks that donald trump should hang it up when it comes to politics. your thoughts on his comments. >> well, i think to be generous to

i was invited years ago and i was in the room while an alleged comedian tried to belittle sarah huckabeen pathetic way while sarah was on stage and i was in the room why the alleged comedian chosen by the media used dead infants. i would not throw a party for myself, i would engage in a little self-reflection. we need a bold free, fair media unafraid, unrelenting search of the facts but that ain't what we got, we do not have to like the media but we should at least be able to respect the media and right now it's seen as a threat to democracy and party to division. so how can that change? joining us now is media buzz host howard cuts, thank you for joining us howie, let me give you a chance to question the underlying premise, do you believe, the polling says what it says. do you believe that these surveys where americans cite the media as both threat to democracy. >> maybe they've been living in caves without electricity. of course, more and more media and pays for them to be inflammatory for politicians it means they breakthrough the static and get their message for media organizations a
