>> sean: welcome to hannity and buck a lot because tonight it appears that donald trump will be faced with yet another biden era disaster when he takes office in january. this one may involve a government shutdown. that continuing resolution now and congress, it is a total unmitigated disaster. it is hard to fathom after the selection that these elected officials, they think the government is usual, the swamp as usual is going to continue. it's not. this would fund the government through march but at what cost? raise the debt ceiling at what cost? washer donald trump have to raise the debt ceiling when it is joe biden's problem? this bill is over 1500 pages. it spends so lavishly on pet projects, let's see a new bridge in baltimore along with on additional $100 billion for vague disaster relief programs. another $10 billion in foreign subsidies. the resolution also expands the

federal bureaucracy funding, a new office of telecommunications, management and a new national blockchain deployment advisory committee. the spending bill also gives the state of maryland a group of national guard fighter jets. it also transfers ownership of rfk stadium from the federal government to washington, d.c. wiry giving them our stadium? in other words, you pay for it. a hugely valuable asset owned by the american taxpayers given to a far left residents of the d.c. swamp? now for some reason this bill also makes clothing, textile imports from haiti duty free but bands lithium batteries from other countries. explained that one. the cherry on top of all of this continuing resolution is a pay increase for members of congress. that's right. i think they worked a whopping 138 days of my count is correct. a pay increase that actually few deserve and more than a decade lawmakers have worked an average

of about 140 days per year. that is all they work. it is a part-time job. and sadly, as a whole, their work has been unacceptable, our budget is out of control and the bureaucratic state is a nightmare. the executive branch is rarely held in check. as i have been saying it is time to get back to constitutional order. what did our founders, what did they envision for our country? principles like limited government, greater freedom, not a cradle to grave, womb to tomb society and not this backslapping, also for your pet project, you support mine, will all get reelected a democratic senator seems to be very happy. he thinks he deserves every penny, he wants his raise. watch this exchange between him and a fake news cnn reporter. >> numbers giving themselves pay raise, you deserve a pay raise? >> that's news to me. it's good news. what has it been, 10 years, 14

years and no change at all? i think it's about time. >> you support giving yourselves a raise? people look at the performance of congress and say why should we give them our money? >> what about the media? thing about that for a second. >> we are not paid by public money. >> i know you're not but are you still giving them the same paycheck? what's going on? >> sean: how about you balance the budget first and we can talk of a pay raise. how about you pass a budget first because they don't even pass budgets anymore. again, you can't make up such an competence. this is the old order, the old way of doing things. this is what has to change, may as well have that fight now and get it over with. tonight the congressional pay raise isn't even the most controversial part of the bill. through all of the legal language, section 605, it is now being interpreted as a broad protection for members of

congress and anyone who helped the democrats smeared donald trump. people like liz cheney, betty thompson during their various witch hunts, that section purportedly blocks subpoenas for house data and provides the provision retroactively. in other words, any investigation into witness tampering, liz cheney was just referred for an investigation into the fbi. during trumps prior impeachment trials for the january sixth sham committee with a predetermined outcome. they could all be stonewalled. why is this part of a continuing resolution that supposedly funds the government? our friend vivek ramaswamy points out, quote, the bill could have easily been under 20 pages, it is over 1500. instead, there are dozens of unrelated policy items crammed into the 1547 pages of this bill. there is no legitimate reason for them to be voted on as a package deal by a lame duck congress.

72 pages worth of pandemic preparedness and response policy? renewal of the much criticized global engagement center, a key player in the federal censorship state? that is a big provision. 17 different pieces of commerce legislation paving the way for a new football stadium that you will pay for, that d.c. will own in washington? a pay raise for congressmen and senators and making them eligible for federal employee health benefits? it is beyond indefensible. by the way, they all deserve obamacare and the obamacare exchange that they forced down our throats. it is indefensible to ram these measures through at the last second without time for anyone to read the bill and without any real debate. and president-elect donald trump,'s incoming administration, they are strongly urging lawmakers to vote no on this out of control

spending bill. trump was elected in november, he was given a mandate to fix what is broken and this bill will make that job much harder. here at the very latest, from capitol hill, our very own chad is with us. you set out to, internally within fox, will be called to a hitchhiker's guide to all things chad. why don't you give us a brief summary of what's going on behind the scenes and how this bill was expected to be passed by now and these members thought they would be on a plane home or they might even have arrived home depending on where they left. >> good evening. it was interesting that mike johnson, the speaker of the house wanted a drama free christmas time here and that's what he set out to do back in the fall. he was trying not to have some sort of conflict at the christmas holiday and that's exactly what he got.

they started to add these other provisions into the bill, something that we caught on to earlier this week. they were putting 10, $11 billion into the bill to help with agriculture assistance, that is something that people set all right, if that is going to be on the bill we want some thing else to be on the bill. and house speaker mike johnson, is the bill continued to grow he was trying to sell this on fox and friends. and when they got into the details of the bill after releasing earlier today, people said the pay raise, rfk stadium, health care provisions, all of the stuff, we don't want that. and the death knell was what happened when elon musk sent out the post on ask saying every single member who votes for this should be defeated in two years and that's where you started to see significant attrition in realtime to this bill and they just didn't have the votes unless they were going to pass this with virtually all democrats and maybe a handful of republicans. what this was really about though, mike johnson pulling this bill, is that he has to stand for speaker of the house on january third. you will always hear me say it, it is about the math and he was very concerned about trying to get the balance of this bill

right so he would court certain members from the republican conference to vote for him on january third. he is going to start at 219 members on january third. the magic number to be elected to speaker's 218. and it was said to be a couple of days ago that people said they thought this would go to at least a second or third ballot no matter what. we may be in for a repeat of what happened with kevin mccarthy in january of 2023. a couple things have just happened in the past few minutes. j.d. vance, the vice president-elect is in the speaker's office about 45-50 feet down the way here. he is meeting with speaker johnson, is also meeting with the house majority leader and steve going into the meeting, quote, we have some good ideas on the table. the republican congressman from oklahoma who was the chairman of the appropriations committee just walked into that meeting as well, they are in charge of the spending bill. no what happens if they just do a clean bill? will they have the votes to pass it? that is unclear. they have had to go to democrats, republicans have had to rely on democrats to carry

almost every bottle of water on every major bill in this congress. and democrats stood right in the spot about three hours ago and basically said we negotiated a deal. we are happy to help with that but you are reneging on this deal and we're not going to help you can see where democrats may push back from the table. so republicans right now are trying to figure out what president-elect trump wants, what j.d. vance wants. can they do a clean bill? and they add in the debt ceiling? there is a number of conservatives in the house who will not vote for any clean, they're just opposed to spending bills, number 1. number 2 they're also opposed to lifting the debt ceiling. where did the votes come from? you cannot change the newtonian physics of congress. here's the other thing. let's say they come up with a new bill. are they going to adhere to the three day rule where they have to post that bill, probably not until -- the earliest would be tomorrow. that gets you past a government shutdown. government funding expires at

11:59 on friday. so right now they are already passed that. here's the other thing i would point out and this is something that several republicans were frustrated about. they noted their supporters of president trump but they noted that he didn't weigh in on this bill into the last minute. this bill, whether you like it or not was pretty much cooked up just a couple of days ago. this is very similar to what happened in 2019, were you had a bill that supposedly had been negotiated by mitch mcconnell, the majority leader, the chairman of the appropriations committee, they passed it in the senate, you had senators in the back of the senate chamber singing christmas carols, this was just a couple days before christmas and 2019, and then president trump weighed in and said he didn't like the bill and the house killed it and we had the longest government shut down in history. more than 30 days. i'm not saying this is going to be the same thing right now but this is very similar with president-elect trump weighing in at the very last minute.

sean? >> sean: when you go back, these old swampy ways that you're describing of how business has been done in washington, i think what a lot of people will be shocked with is that those days are going to change and change dramatically. and by the way, government shutdown, you know this is a misnomer because essential services will continue. the 2019 shutdown you mention, that was 30 days and guess what? the military kept up and running and protecting our country. essential employees stayed on. people, if i recall correctly, got back pay. social security checks go out and medicare stays up and open. but with that said, you did hit on the crux of this, which is republicans and principal, many of them, are against any cr altogether. any raising of the debt ceiling altogether. and on the debt ceiling part,

now you have jeffries saying he wouldn't even support a clean bill. he is claiming they had a deal. so my guess is christmas is going to come and christmas is going to go and they will be stuck there in d.c., am i wrong? >> the challenges, in the alternative would be to pass each of the individual spending bills. there are 12, they pass 70% of those in the house of representatives, the senate has done 9-under chuck schumer. but the reason they have not done all of them is they do not have the votes. so if you're going to fund the entirety of government and avoid it shutdown, you have to get both of those bills through the house and senate and they are not there right now and that takes days and weeks. so everyone was going towards this interim spending bill which would run until the middle of march and the whole premise here was to clear the deck president-elect trump. that is not going to happen if this shuts down for christmas or goes into january and you start the new congress on january and there is a fight over the

speakership, what does that do? that delays the beginning of the implementation of the trump agenda because they have to vote on all of these things. there is no magic wand in congress. they have to go every single time and if they cannot get their act together on this right now, what this does is pretends a very rough road in january, february, march, trying to get all of these things done. they talk about getting budget reconciliation where they put a bunch of these things together so that they can bypass a filibuster in the senate. you know the problem is with that? you have to first produce a budget. budgets are very hard to do and if you are down to a one or two vote margin and the house of representatives and you cannot get a budget, you can talk about reconciliation until you are blue in the face but if you don't have a budget, you cannot yet to reconciliation to use that as a vehicle. all this does, potentially, it slows all of that down in 2025. >> sean: you know what, honestly, the fiscal year starts in october.

so let's be real here. if we don't return to regular order and they don't pass their budget, in ever pass it on time, they are now reaping what they sow, the chickens have come home to roost, whatever analogy you want. it's going to be uninteresting 48 hours and beyond it looks like, thank you. >> always in december, it is the most wonderful time of the year here. >> sean: glad you took your vacation early, on taking mind, i don't care if they pass a budget or not. here with reaction, senator, things for being with us. i'm looking at this monstrosity, i went through a lot of these provisions, 1550 pages, no one had time to read it. it is all because they don't want to do their job and pass budgets by october first, which is the deadline. and it is no surprise we find ourselves in this position and if i'm donald trump, i don't want that debt ceiling during my term. this is joe biden's debt ceiling race, it should not be donald trump's.

if jeffries does not want to come to a consensus then shut it down. i think it is a misnomer that a government shutdown is the worst thing in the world. we survived a 30 plus day shut down in 2019. >> shawn, this continuing resolution, whatever it is is a total joke. it is 1500 pages of pork barrel spending and worse than that, it is all of the woke garbage. it is censorship boards getting funded. there is hundreds of millions of dollars for a recycling access center in that this bill. it is a total off and send you pointed out there is also the pay raise for members of congress, obamacare carve out for members of congress, here's what gets me. republicans negotiated this. the speaker of the house negotiated this bill. it is a total travesty. this has got to change. we cannot go on like this and i hope the republican leadership gets the message here. the message of the selection which is that people want change, they don't want this garbage. i'm a hard know on this thing,

it is a joke, it is a travesty and they need to go back to square one. >> sean: it's the old swamp way of doing things, there will be a new sheriff in town and when elon musk and vikram swami want to cut $2 trillion in spending, i think they are serious about it and i think donald trump is serious about that as well. there will be a lot of cotz and the old way of doing things has to go away. if you want to return and be transformational to constitution order, limited government, greater freedom. do we achieve that where is this evidence that that is not going to be achievable, especially with the tight margins we have both in the house and senate? >> you can't do it by doing business this way. this is the same old, same old. you talk about needing to cut that spending, this bill right here but at hundreds of billions of dollars to the deficit and the worst part is it is all for democrat priorities. why would you settle donald trump with this terrible spending bill before even gets into office? and the worst part is it dumps it right back in his lap.

in march, under this bill, they shut the government down again, they have to do it all over again, have to raise the debt ceiling again later in the same year, it is ridiculous. it is a horrible plan, i cannot believe that republican leadership ever cooked it up. clearly did not talk to trump about it and i tell you what, we need to have a serious look at who is leading this congress because if this is the best they can do, it is total incompetence, this is a disaster. >> sean: the best worst-case scenario considering they did not do their job would be a clean cr. democrats say they will not support that. so we are at a standoff, right? i don't see any way out of that. >> i think that's right. unless the government is going to shut down on friday, by the way, that was also the choice of republican leadership. they could very well have done this and extend it longer which is what donald trump wanted, they said no, we will come back and do it in december. why did they want to do it in december? so that they could force us up

against the wall and tried to get through all of their special projects and their pet projects and spending and now they have been caught red-handed and now they don't have a plan. that is there fault. mike johnson and his crew need to figure this out. they need to do the right thing and i tell you, this is not right. what they are trying to do is a disaster. they own this and they need to fix it. >> sean: it is already dead on arrival. senator, thank you, we appreciate it. joining us now is the incoming white house deputy chief of policy, stephen miller. why do i suspect you have a lot to say on this tonight, stephen? >> sean, here's what it comes down to. first and foremost, donald trump just won a historic landslide. he is entitled to come into office in january and work on his agenda. the american people elected him to. he should not have to come into office and immediately be saddled with a government funding expiration along with a

debt ceiling expiration. that is what the current plan would do. he would come into office and immediately have to work on negotiating a debt ceiling hike with chuck schumer and an extension of government funding. that is not consistent with putting donald trump in the best possible position to enact the transformative legislative agenda that he campaigned on. historic tax cuts and reforms an energy revolution, record-setting border security and border protection investments and the entire agenda to bust inflation and make this economy grow. furthermore, as you mention, there are provisions that are in this year and government funding bill that are on their face, unacceptable r how are we even having a conversation about a provision that would shield members of the january sixth insular committee from basic oversight and accountability an investigation? how are we talking about funding local censorship at the state department? and again, how are we talking

about sticking president trump with a debt ceiling expiration at the very beginning of his administration? set president trump up for success, set him up to put the agenda he campaigned on into action. >> sean: and you know what, maybe they will learn the lesson the hard way. maybe if they have to work christmas eve, christmas day and maybe if they have to do their job. may be they will think twice about ignoring deadlines like the beginning of the fiscal year, october first. may be they will get the message that the country is fed up with nearly $40 trillion in debt that we are giving to our kids and grandkids. may be they will realize that the principle of limited government is a principal every republican that cares about working men and women needs to care about. thoughts? >> yes. and may be -- just be, working through the holidays as a member of congress is a small price to pay so that the american people

can have all of these incredible things that i just outlined. what are a few extra days or weeks of work for members of congress so that, again, president trump can come in and he can work with congress to pass historic border reform, historic tax reforms, historic energy reforms, historic the regulatory reforms and get this country into a position of strength, dominance and security that it has never known. why in god's name are we not giving president trump the best possible chance of doing exactly that in january? >> sean: they need to own the debt ceiling, they need to own the vcr. probably the best way out would be a clean cr, raise the debt ceiling, donald trump does not own that, joe biden and the democrats owned that with all of their reckless spending. student loans and endless wars that they have been ratcheting up in recent months in the final days of his presidency. stephen miller, thank you, we

appreciate it. when we come back, joe biden with just over a month left in office continues to try to do nothing but undermined donald trump. we will explain what he did this time and remind you of what he has been doing straight ahead.

♪ ♪ >> sean: so as a long national nightmare comes to an end and we are near the end of joe biden's presidency, things are getting pretty weird. this guy is seemingly filled with these mysterious drones on the ground, the president is busy renting clemency to scores of heinous criminals, foreign spies and even people with explicit child material and the administration is auctioning off parts of the border wall for next to nothing overseas. why would you do that knowing

donald trump needs that to build the wall? except you are vindictive. leaders are pretending by no longer exist but according to joe,'s administration really only suffers from a perception problem. because not enough people are reading the newspaper anymore. i'm not making that up, take a look. joe, wake up, legacy media's dead. you know why? because they cannot be trusted. they have earned the public's distrust. unfortunately that is not the voice of a leader, that is frankly a sad, week, retail

politician who should have retired decades ago. and the cold hard truth is that biden brought nothing to the table over the last four years. what can he cite as a great success? now it appears he is working day and night to undermine donald trump, take a look. in fact,, the federal government is now reportedly trying to hire up to 1200 additional permanent dei staffers before trump takes office. they should be fired. administration also working to increase the price of energy. that also will be brought down by trump. the energy department published a report instructing federal regulators to crack down on new oil and gas permits. a move that could stifle america's most critical industry and we know where donald trump stands on that. they have one month left and they are acting almost completely out of spite. all of this is out of spite. here with reaction, fox news contributor, trump economic advisor, steve moore, joe, all

start with you. it seems like a lot of spite. i can continue on my list given $2 billion to iran, that is certainly undermining. ratcheting up the war in ukraine against russia, that is undermining trump. they know he wants a negotiated settlement. with dei and gas exports and selling off-the-wall parts and presidential pardons. it seems to me, just frankly, vengeance on their part. or so they think and they are really hurting us the people. >> part of anything donald trump is for, we are against. but here's something bigger and this actually encourages me. these are the dying gasps of the last parts of massive government that always does it because this is the way it has always been done. the trump team coming in has carte blanche to go in and change our relationship to our government. and that is what i am looking

forward to. that is what i think vivek ramaswamy and elon musk are working towards. donald trump is going to do and it is going to be fundamentally different. the big measure will be if it felt the government didn't do it, what it still get done? and i think anything that will still get done the government will be out of that business. a fundamental reordering. so they are striving and their last moments to just keep things the status quo, the way they were 1200 bei people, there will be no dei and the federal government under donald trump. cannot wait for the new era to begin. >> sean: well said. steve moore, you are the economist on the panel, what do you make of the debt ceiling disaster that is unfolding in washington tonight as we speak? >> first of all, he is exactly right. that the incoming trump administration just scares the out of traditional liberals who run this town and washington for the last 30 years.

i would add to what you already talked about in the show, that the other thing that is so subversive that is going on with biden right now, you've probably been following this, is they are spending every sickle penny they can get their hands on. is there recorder in the cushion of the sofa? let's spend it. and it is the spending blitz we have never seen before. just in the last two months we have had record amounts of debt and then biden has the gall to go there and say i am handing donald trump a healthy economy. healthy economy? this is a guy who borrowed $5 trillion in his first three years in office, another $2 trillion last year. the deficits have been absolutely enormous and for thee american family and the left is pretending like this has been a successful presidency. that has not. and trump from day one is going to have to change this. one of the things he should do is use what is called empowerment and rescission power to cancel a lot of this massive last-minute spending that we

cannot afford. >> sean: joe, you are our media expert, maybe you can explain to joe biden exactly why americans don't trust legacy media anymore and why they are dead. and maybe explain to him the evolution of new media, starting with radio, fox news, expanding the social media and that would include podcast, et cetera. >> shawn, he should look at his vice president who ran for president for 100 days and went to places like cnn and msnbc and cbs. and while, she lost the popular vote, lost every swing state. she did not go on joe rogan, did not go on theo von, did not join radio shows like yourself. obviously went on fox news once and that did not go well. but overall, that is the media now. in terms of acts and other options that americans now turn to more than those other

networks were basically they have more employees now msnbc and cnn then they do actual viewers and that is not a good thing. so that is where we are at this point. meanwhile here we have the media that are going to go back to the playbook they know best. the journalism of fear. when it comes to government shutdown, for example,, they will portray that as the apocalypse. extension to make donald trump and by extension brave republicans in the congress as being reckless and his pro-playing the role of grinch on steroids ahead of the holidays by shutting down the government. but at some point many americans agree with this, you cannot keep kicking the can down the road. at some point we have to have a country that is run the way many of us runner households. do not spend what you don't have. don't buy what you don't need and don't try to buy friends by throwing money at them. the only way to change the status quo is by challenging the status quo without apology. and the status quo includes our dying legacy media that still thinks that simply by playing the resistance to donald trump,

it reflects the sentiment of the american people. it does not and it makes you wonder, do stupid people ever had a point in life or the realize they are stupid? i'm not sure our media realizes that because they keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. >> sean: exit question, yes or no, who is going to win? republicans have given lip service to limited government and greater freedom for many years. they have given a lot of lip service to budgets for many years. they have a small margin in the house and senate and terms of their house majority. was going to win this fight? trump or establishment republicans? >> with a three vote margin, i don't know. that's the problem with the caucus, they have to depend on democrats, that's why were on the mess we have now. i will say this, a polish -- abolish the debt limit. there was raise it anyway so

it's not like there is a real limit. but that is an issue that trips everyone up. i hope that's something that they can do and abolish. >> sean: with a small majority, who wins this fight. >> we have two big spending parties right now, that is the reality. and donald trump first has to transform the republican party and get them behind his pro-growth limited government tax cut pro-american policies before we can get the democrats. but in the end, donald trump will prevail. >> sean: who will prevail? >> never ever bet against donald trump, never bet against the movement that is happening right now, again. what he just did in this election is something you do not want to go against in terms of the sentiment of the american people. don't bet against donald trump, that's my answer. >> sean: anyone that does not support it, limited government, greater freedom, balance budgets, they will be primary and in my prediction, they will

lose. thank you wall. when we come back, ice confirming 16 suspects detained in an alleged kidnapping and torture plot and colorado. we are -- they were all part of the notorious venezuelan gang that are currently in the country illegally, now dominating and committing violence in 16 of our states straight ahead. : for generation, this ally to the north has been by your side. ontario, canada, a partner connected by shared history, shared values, and a shared vision for what we can achieve together. stable and secure, when the world around us isn't. you can rely on ontario for energy to power your growing economy and for the critical minerals crucial to new technologies. ontario is your third-largest trading partner and the number one export destination for 17 states. our long-standing economic partnership keeps millions of americans working. in a changing world,

>> sean: with just a little over a month until donald trump takes office, the biden-harris border crisis that continues to wreak havoc in our country, on tuesday south african national who illegally entered the u.s. was arrested in new york city after an investigation revealed a positive match on the terrorist watch list.

the man was initially detained in texas for criminal trespassing that was back in september. but of course he was released, courtesy of joe biden and kamala harris and their wide open border policy. and out there and rural colorado, police took 16 individuals into custody following reports of a home invasion at a local apartment complex. a spokesperson said all of those detained or venezuelan nationals in the u.s. without authorization and suspected of being members of the gang, tren de aragua. and that they will remain in custody pending removal proceedings or hearings before an immigration judge. here now with reaction, the senior fellow, victor davis hanson, along with nationally syndicated talk show host, my old friend, he is my body, joe. i've known him forever. he is phenomenal at his job, we love you. will start with you tonight. it's going to be a big job, we

have known terrorist cartel members. we have gang members here, we have murderers, we don't know where the terrorists are. what you think they are doing? i think they're scheming another 9/11, that's what i think. >> of course they are. can you bring up what happened here in texas, you know a friend of yours, you've been to the border million times, he did something right. the legislator did something right. arrest these people as trespassers and they did that. they turned them over in september 2 ice, the department of homeland security that doesn't keep the homeland secure and then they let them go and this guy's just roaming around and gets a free flight up to new york, eventually defined in three months later. what was he planning? and do you mean to tell me, sean hannity, that they are in fact in rural colorado? they said they weren't at the mayor said that they really were there and maybe kidnapping people and torturing them. >> to be fair, joe, they told j.d. vance that there are only a couple apartment complexes it wasn't a big deal.

>> it blows my mind because these people live with such ease. and it's about time we called them out. the election is over, start telling people the truth. it is if we are to believe there aren't any drones flying around either. at the end of the day, real information comes from you, i do my best as i can as well. the professor does to. people need the real information so they can combat this. bad guys and bad gals are here as crime is plummeting in venezuela because all of the bad guys are here. >> sean: let me go do you, victor davis hanson. donald trump has put forward a transformational agenda. i believe it is a return to constitutional order. i believe, if implemented, it will return us to what our framers and founders wanted, limited government, greater freedom. we see what is unfolding in washington. clearly these other elected officials are not reading these election results the way that i am in the way that i suspect you are and joe is. >> they're not. and i don't think even people in

the republican party can quite adjudicate the pulse of the country. it wants change and it wants change fast. it once it in -- and into the four-year madness i don't like american people really understand what has happened. we have 20 million illegal aliens here before joe biden took office. he added 12 million to them. and the trump administration is going to have a terrible time, it is going to be expensive, it is difficult and it has to be done. the left's attitude is we don't care about the billions of dollars and lives that were destroyed by opening the border, we only care about the cost to rectify our mistake and we are going to blame you for enforcing the law and bringing immigration back to normality but we get a pass for destroying it. so he is going to have to start with 1.5 million people who have retainers out, it has been adjudicated, they're supposed to be deported, they didn't show up. the 500,000 criminals, and i don't think anybody will object

to that. and then i think the people who are here, the next iteration, people who were able-bodied, are not working on public insistence, i think the public will support that. and then the next iteration, anybody who came in from a hostile country, or ron, venezuela, cuba, china and then we are going to get to the nitty-gritty because then the left is going to go crazy when we say you other people have come in illegally and you have been here for two or three years under biden but you broke the law. and that is where the left is preparing to demagogue the issue. but the final note, we have never been here before. we have 16% of the population was not born in the united states and california it is 27% of the resident population and we have 55 million americans of all statuses that were not born here. that is on enormous tax -- task of assimilation, education and

we're not doing any of it. it is historic, we have never had that high of a number or percentage in the history of this country. >> sean: exit question, the same one i gave the others. who was going to win the philosophical battle, the principal battle? limited battle or business as usual? trump or the establishment d.c., who wins the battle? >> it has to be trump because he is coming in with the mandate and the establishment will be short-term if they don't do the right thing to act it will be trunk, has to be. >> sean: who wins the fight? >> trump does. there's no other choice. it's the future, no-brainer. >> sean: i agree, i hope and pray as well, think you both got good to see you both. when we come back, senators grilling the ncaa president on transgender athletes playing in women's sports. the one and only rielly gains straight ahead next on

♪ ♪ >> sean: so yesterday, the ncaa president, the former governor of massachusetts spoke with lawmakers on the hill and at one point actually insisted female athletes uncomfortable with using the same facilities as transgender athletes can just find their own accommodations, take a look. >> why don't you take a position on transgender, biological males competing against females? you just told me it wasn't fair. >> there's a federal standard on this which is one that we will work with you on if you wish to work on it. >> why don't you do it on your own? 's. >> because we are national governing body and we follow federal law. >> why do you go to amazon and take a stand?

>> why do your guidelines allow biological men into women's locker rooms without the women's consent, without the women's foreknowledge? why do you do that? >> to some of the guidelines say. >> they do say that, got them right here. they say that transgender student athletes should be able to use the locker room, shower and toilet facilities in accordance to their gender identity, your they are right here. >> and it went all should have an opportunity to use other facilities if they wish to do so. >> sean: here with reaction, gaines for girls host, rielly gaines. you actually live this. okay. why do biological athletes, female athletes, why should they be the ones that are inconvenienced and have to capitulate to this? what was it like for you to compete against it biological male? >> the competing against a male is one thing.

but i cannot put into words the feelings of violation, the feelings of embarrassment. it is uncomfortable, awkward and humiliating to undress next to, again, for perspective here, let me be very clear, a 6-foot for 22-year-old man, fully naked, fully intact, fully exposing himself inches away from where we as women were simultaneously fully undressed. this not a hypothetical, that is the reality that myself, my teammates and my competitors from around the country and girls in various sports across the nation continue to face at the hands of the ncaa. competing is one thing. anyone with any amount of brain activity knows that is unfair, they know that is wrong. even charlie baker himself admitted it in that hearing. what you could not possibly grasp or wrap your head around was the violation of the locker room. >> sean: when you think pixar has a new movie out and they decided -- and they pulled the

transgender story line and they put out a statement, when it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline. while, looks like disney has figured out go woke, go broke. >> yeah,, that is exactly at. i will not sit here and applaud them, i'm not going to sit here and say i am proud of them. this is really only proving to us that the free market always prevails. we talked about this on your show before, sean, look at bud light for example. the most obvious and well-known example, this is a company that essentially lost when he $7 billion overnight and their next commercial was a big burly man on a motorcycle. it shows you they don't actually have convictions, they don't actually have principles and they don't follow red or blue. these large corporations, academic institutions, the list goes on, are media and government don't follow red or blue, they follow the green. >> sean: they really do.

you know what, it is unfair. young women, athletes, their rights should be protected. if they want to start a whole new trans category in athletics, let them do it that way. rielly, we appreciate you being with us, thank you. we have a lot more to come, more "hannity" coming up after this quick break straight-ahead. ♪ ♪
