stuart: a hard day's night by the beatles. playing an awful lot of rolling stones and beatles. there is new york city, sixth avenue. not that busy again. 11:00 eastern time and monday, february 24th and split decision and tow up 25 points and nasdaq down about 1% selling there. big tech show it to me, please. i'll bet their mostly lower and they are. apple up $1.67 and microsoft, amazon, alphabet and nvidia are down. yield on 10 year treasury interesting and well below 4.5% and dropped below 440. that might be helping the market, some parts a little and at 439 on the ten year right now. now this. the shocking election in germany isn't so shocking when you consider the main issue involved. that would be immigration. just like in america. the sudden arrival of millions

of people upsets the pop laying. sure, inflation held back standard of living and rising prices really had impact. it was a factor. but migrants by the million worked on voter's psyche. in germany, it was particular divisive since so many came from very different cultures. all happened so quickly. in 20 a 15, angela mirkle opened the country to middle eastern and south african migrants and they marched to bang on germany's door. chancellor merkle let them in. it's not popular. 20% of german population is foreign-born. before she let the migrants in, it was just 12%. graham wood writing in the atlantic: 40% of all the crimes in germany are committed by foreigners and series of publicized terror attacks and pro hamas demonstrations in germany brought back embarrassing and unnerving

reminders of anti-semitism. the mideast policy has been compromised by their domestic population. the current leader, schultz, crushed in yesterday's election and anti-immigration party performed better than ever before. there's an obvious parallel with america. 8 million illegal migrants arrived here during the biden years. assimilation is easy here than in germany because we are a nation of immigrants. but the hundreds of billions in cost did not go well. migrants roaming the streets and living this hotels was shocking and imported gang violence. in the face of that, biden and harris did nothing, voters threw them out. same in germany. sudden mass immigration rejected and the left is taking the hit in both countries because it was the left which opened boarders. the repercussions are profound. conservatives are taking power, left is in retreat, nobody

anywhere really publicly supports open boarders. it has become toxic policy and world over. third hour of varney starts now. ♪ ♪ stuart: jason chaffetz joining me this morning to check things out. on the issue of illegal immigration, the left has no answer at all, do they? >> no, they try to conflate the issue and don't talk about the difference between legal immigration and illegal immigration. they just call them migrants, and that's unfair because there are people that come for instance to the united states legally and lawfully. if you take everybody in the world, combine them them, we as a nation take more into the country than everybody else combined. but they do it legally and lawfully and come into the front door and those are the people forgotten and people that are

not taken care of. we come here because of the rule of law and played itself out in the election and i'm glad to see the reverberation as you point-blank layupsed out in germany and i think they're paying the price in england and other places around the world that had open border policies and they're not helpful, crime rises and entity do know how to deal with people jobs and produce more for their country. stuart: james carville said the trump admin vagues is in the midst of a collapse and hakeem jeffries said the administration is losing. watch this. with >> donald trump is a chaos agent that promised to lower cost, lower the high cost of living in the united states of america, and he's doing the exact opposite. he's unleashing chaos on the american people. the trump administration is

it's chaos and going to create two-thirds of americans said we're off track and donald trump said we're going to get back on track and democrats call it chaos and most of americans say finally somebody is doing something about it. stuart: yes, finally. after four years. jason, thanks for joining us. always appreciate it. see you again real soon. this $500 billion investment in mark in the next four years, half a trillion. i thought that would make a difference to the tech stocks and apple is up $1. >> it's a tremendous vote of confidence not only for half a trillion dollars of investment,

stuart: the trump administration launched a title 9 investigation into the state of maine after they refused to comply with the transgender order. madison: he's going to wealth hold federal funding and made that very clear. if they don't comply, that'll be what happens and in trump fashion, the president directly called out maine's governor. if you missed it, here it is. >> is maine here, the governor

of maine? >> i'm here. >> are you not going to comply with that? >> i'll comply with state and federal laws. >> well we are the federal law. your population doesn't want men playing in women sports so you better comply otherwise you're not getting any federal funding. synergy home see you in court. -- >> see you in court. >> every state -- good, i'll see you in court. madison: that was on friday and governor mills released a statement about the threat saying "the state of maine will not be intimidated by the president's threats". but the president said they're not threats they're prosperities made to the american voters who elected him. >> they loved men playing in women sports, open boarders, little things like that. they don't think it's a great thing what they're doing. you saw maine yesterday; right, the governor of maine? [ boog and cheering ] >> she's fighting to keep men in women sports. ever see what happens to a woman

when a woman boxes a man who transitioned to womanhood? let them all do that fight. madison: so the department of education is also in on the fight. they sent a letter to a maine election official about an investigation into allegations that they continue to allow males to compete in women sports and at this point, it looks like there's at least one school where that's the case, but the investigation has been opened. stuart: sharp end stuff. bring in kennedy, host of kennedy saves the world podcast joining us now. >> hello. stuart: governor mills just ignore president trump? >> sure. i'm fine with that. you know, it's like we are a republic. if maine wants to go it alone, absolutely. be a self-supporting stated. if you have the industry and know how and hard workers then you should be just fine. stuart: well, does the president have the right to take federal funds away from maine because they defy his order? >> if they are in direct violation of federal law, i believe that he can.

stuart: is the rule of federal law or just part of title nine? i don't know the difference. >> okay, so title 9 was enacted in order to protect women in sports because, you know, they were only at the time giving a lot of money to men sports and colleges because that's where the viewership was, and there was a lot of women like we're really good athletes, this is unfair. there's no equal number of programs for us. that's what title nine was penalty to do. it really helped fund things like the wnba and the u.s. women's national soccer team, which has been the best in the world and people argue because of title nine. young women and their talents have been protected and they have flourished under that. so if there's no longer a gender dividing line, then all sports will be male. people want to see teams win and more guys on your team, men are bigger, faster, stronger than

women biologically, physiologically than women and if you're going to be a feminist and protect women's sports, you have to do that. we've developed this gray area for a very narrow number of athletes, but it is really taken the entire concept and conversation hostage. you know, i don't think it makes you a bigot. i don't think it makes you antigay or even anti-trans to say that young womens lane in sports should be protected. i guarantee you all the girl moms and dads in maine, even if they're too scared to say it because of political bash lash from their neighbors, they agree with me. stuart: i think you're right. democrat senator cory booker was asked point-blank if democrats talking points are contraindication for cerumen removal l effective. watch this. effective, watch this. >> democrats lost an election largely with the closing arguments of accusing trump of being a threat to the democracy. is that the most effective messages right now? >> i think the most effective messages is talking about the

crisis happening to american. >> not constitutional crisis? >> no, but what's happening to americans. everywhere in america red states to blue states we're seeing real crises that elon musk was a billionaire and never has to think about where his next meal is coming from, where his medical treatment and how that'll be paid for, americans are feeling a crisis right now, and they're feeling pain. stuart: kennedy, he's saying that this threat to democracy strategy is a loser. >> yes. stuart: go for it. >> it was and it is because they didn't have ideas. they were really only running on trump is a fascist and trump is hitler and that's why they lost the senate and republicans have both houses of congress and presidency and a lot of governorships and they ran on ideas and you may disagree and what i would challenge cory booker and his democrat mouthpiece by proxy is come up with ideas and things for these

independent voters and there's no guarantee that those that vote for trump are going to continue voting for republicans and they're voting for their families and freedom and their own bottom line. if democrats feel like they have a better path forward for americans to flourish, lay that out there. they've not been able to do that since the election and only can demonize trump and that didn't work. demonize musk and going to the polls and that's not working. talk about the waste and government and democrats can do that and weed it out and programs that are left truly serve the people who are hurting in this country who voted against them. stuart: that sounds like a strategy. kennedy, thank you very much indeed. sue owe again real soon. now this, white house press secretary karoline leavitt claims the mainstream media is bringing a narrative against president trump to the briefing room. madison, how is she dealing with this from the podium? madison: yeah, she's one strong woman because she said she looks

forward to facing bias and hostility because it means she has the opportunity to correct them. >> they've been behinded by this bias, anti-trump bias and it's sad because rather than dealing with people who are truly interested in journalistic integrity and finding out the truths and the facts, they're coming into the room with a preconceived narrative and bias. the president speaks the truth and speaks his mind directly. it's my job to prepare and figure out what the truth is versus what the fake news narratives are and bring that to the podium. madison: it's been behinded by the anti-trump bias and the white house also made changes and changed policy around who's allowed into the press briefings and new media outlets welcomed in including content creators and podcasters and they're really helping the president win his election. stuart: all change. madison, thank you. coming up, under the biden

a year. stuart: interesting. department of housing and urban development expected to be cut in half. some staffers going to worsen the housing crisis. what does allysia finley say? >> make s it more affordable and it implements rules and essentially trying to social if you want government money to build affordable housing and you must build it in these places and make sure it's racially balanced between them saying in you don't make enough loads to black people and you're made all the policies increasing the risk and implemented a subsidy driven
