special edition of "hannity". i'm kellyanne conway in tonight for sean. after spending the first month in office working at a record pace, the new trump administration is showing no signs of slowing down. yesterday, doge revealed that schools across the country spent nearly $200 billion in covert relief funds on expenses that had almost no impact on students. this included egregious spending on hotel rooms at caesars palace in las vegas and an ice cream truck. according to reports, president trump is planning to take control of the u.s. postal service. this follows years of massive financial losses. meanwhile, the interior secretary says his department is, quote, completely embracing the doge effort. and earlier this evening, president trump signed to new memoranda. one protecting american companies from overseas extortion and another restricting chinese investments

in strategic areas here. president trump also addressed reporters in the room during the signing. take a look. >> we want to have a post office that works well and doesn't lose massive amounts of money. and we're thinking about doing that and it will be a form of a merger but it will remain the postal service. and i think it will operate a lot better than it has been over the years. it has just been a tremendous loser for this country. tremendous amounts of money are being lost. and with it we can do something that will be very good and keep it in a similar way. the weather it is a merger just using some of the talented people that we have elsewhere. so that it doesn't lose so much. it is losing a tremendous amount of money. would you work for? who? no wonder. [simultaneous talking] let me just tell you that today i have the highest poll numbers

i have ever had. i have today the highest full numbers of any republican president ever. we haven't even checked the democrats but that's what i was just told. and they like the job we are doing. one of the reasons i loved cash and wanted to put him in is because of the respect the agents had for him. i think you will go down as the best ever at that -- position. >> trump continues to shake up washington. firing the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff tonight. joining us now with reaction to another busy news day, fox news contributor, kim, the former white house chief of staff mark meadows and the former u.s. senator and ambassador, scott brown. kim, you write for "the wall street journal". "the wall street journal" has been out there talking about from sepp hamonic agenda,'s tariffs, all of it. let's focus today on what the president is doing with the u.s. postal service because so much of what doge is finding out are things that we suspect to be true but didn't really have the

receipts. the failures of the u.s. postal service are right in front of us. what do you think could happen to it and what would we do with the savings from the billions of dollars that has been lost to the u.s. postal service if the president privatize that? >> there are two questions here, kelly m. one is if he can take it over and the report say he wants to pull it into the commerce department. i put that question in the same category of his earlier memo this week, going after independent agencies, attempting to make sure that some of these big, sprawling alphabet soup departments are finally getting some supervision from the white house instead of reporting to congress. that is one thing. the second thing is what do you then do with it so that it doesn't lose so much money? and one small hurdle there is that some of the post offices mission is actually spelled out in federal law. for instance, that it has to deliver the mail, it has to do it six days a week. the merger thing is very

interesting. could you have some sort of tie up with a private company so that in essence, the postal service is still fulfilling those missions but doing so with a privatized entity at its side? i think there's a lot of really interesting things that we haven't really delved into that good work and be interesting and make this a better situation. >> and mark meadows you were the final chief of staff of donald trump's first term and i hear people saying its much better this time, does a lot more space for president trump to do what he wants to do. as you know, the whole last year was dominated by covid and social unrest. but i think that the seedlings were planted then and then the four years of the disastrous biden-harris record where president trump and his team can just come in and rip out so much of those crazy programs and all of the expenditures. but why don't you tell us, as chief of staff to president trump, what it was like to be on the inside when he was trying to get out the waste,

fraud and abuse and work with congress and the department in doing that? >> obviously you and i get to see it up close and personal. i think probably the biggest thing for me is just the speed at which he is doing at this time. not only are the people around him actually encouraging it but the american people are seeing it. part of that is i think we had to see how bad the last four years actually were under the previous administration. but i think the other part of that is this isn't an tattered actually president right now who knows that he is got a mandate from the american people to actually make a difference. you mentioned covid, covid was all-consuming. but as you mentioned in your monolog, some of the monies that were allocated and supposedly going for students are not going for students, they are actually going for ice cream trucks, as you pointed out. minting a ballpark stadium back

and i may add that that same school district is actually right now, looking at a huge deficit and going to lay off teachers. so it should not come as any surprise president trump is not only making a big difference but he is making an impact on main street across america. >> indeed. and scott brown, you served in the united states senate, i hear even republican senators are bellyaching a little bit about the speed, the volume of velocity with which president trump is working in this first month, i would say buckle up to those of us that were closely because we know this is very typical. but seriously speaking, why doesn't the senate and the house have more measures in place already that make the dollars that they appropriate to so many of these agencies and crazy programs accountable? don't we want to see accountability and transparency? what's wrong with that? what would you tell your former colleagues in the senate? >> first of all, president trump is doing an amazing job and he should keep ripping the scab off

just expose everything, the transparency is amazing. but in regards to the post office, 2012 there is a very serious group of senators and congressmen which i was one who tried to make something known. $1.5 billion loss, it cannot be sustained. and yes, they need to do it but they have done away with the line item, the earmarks. as a result of that, it is very difficult for congress or the senate to actually dictate where they want the money to go. so they obviously need to be a little bit more using the scalpel and actually say this is what we want. and not be spent and usually it goes to the agency and whatever they want. and that's what we are seeing and that's why it's fantastic what elon and doge is doing and the fax that the president is able to tear these things apart. >> i will spend my remaining minute asking each of you to weigh in on our new fbi director kash patel, i had the honor of working with him in the first

term, he is committed, he is a great patriot and he said today that is two major priorities are to consolidate resources and have more field agents out across the nation and also to restore public trust in the fbi. your advice to him? >> by the way, i love that he wants to restore confidence in the fbi. one of the big problems here has just been that the prior leadership would not acknowledge it's failures and just flat out say we are sorry, we won't let it happen again. that is a great beginning. >> market? >> yes, kash is a great manager. we had the privilege of working with him in the white house, i got to see him up close and personal. my advice to him is to stay true to the mission. those two points he had today were outstanding. and make sure that what happens is the american people start to appreciate the men and women serving in the fbi and i think he is committed to that and he will do that.

>> what i say kelly m is amen. there are a lot of amazing people that work for the fbi and those aren't the folks we're dealing with. of his lead things will know about so get them out of d.c., get them out of the field offices, let them do their jobs and see how the fbi folks on the ground actually do their job. i think they've lost touch with some of the seniors losing touch with what it's like to be a field person again. >> well said by all three of you, i talked to kash patel and he is committed to making sure that not everything happens at the fbi in the belt way. and that we know that the seventh floor of the doj when we got there in 2017, it had been weaponize against resident elect and then president trump, it's very difficult to do your job when you have people working for you and already against you. so god bless him and his work. kim, mark, scott, think for joining us. tonight as we said, kash patel officially sworn in as fbi director by the eternal -- attorney general, there are some pictures. and afterwards, he wasted no

time taking the media to task. he issued a strong warning to anyone seeking to harm the united states of america. watch. >> look, i know the media is in here. and if you have a target, that target is right here. it is not the men and women at the fbi. you have written everything you possibly can about me that his fate, malicious, slanderous and defamatory, keep it coming and bring it on. believe the men and women of the fbi out of it. anyone that wishes to do harm to our way of life and our citizens here or abroad will face the full wrath of the department of justice and the federal bureau of investigation. and if you seek to hide, in any corner of this country or any corner of this planet, we will put on the world's largest manhunt and we will find you. we will uphold the constitution, we will uphold ourselves to the constitution. the men and women at the fbi, i have your back because you have the backs of the american people. you will be held to the same high standard.

>> prior to his swearing in, he scent a letter to fbi subordinates outlining his two major parties for the bureau. bolstering its resources and rebuilding trust with the american people. joining us now with reaction, on ohio senator. senator, in such a thrilled have you on tonight. your reaction to him and especially this matter you and i have discussed so many times, the weaponization of the fbi against president trump, many of his supporters,'s family and the goal of kash to restore confidence that we the people have in our largest law enforcement agency? >> well, as you know, i am new to politics. i have been in the senate about a month and a half. and i had the great honor of presiding over the senate when i was able to call his confirmation. he's a great friend that he is going to do on amazing job. what makes this country special, as you know, is that the rule of

law is absolutely honored. joe biden shredded our constitution, shredded confidence in the rule of law. president trump and kash patel are going to get it back, this is already happening. i think morale is probably 500% higher in the last 24 hours because of kash being in the fbi. >> i totally agree and i'm sure he can doge the fbi as well in many ways. speaking of kash patel, i was watching his swearing in earlier and i would like to reflect on some of his comments. he said anyone who things the american dream is dead, take a look at me. a first-generation indian boy and here i am heading off the largest law enforcement agency. and he took the report is to task, he basically said what you and i can also say to the media which -- and sean "hannity" certainly, which is he tried everything you can, you've thrown everything at us, you defamed us, he went after our families, you insulted us and our boss, you tried to keep him out of the white house, put him in the big house and here we are. and i think that he represents

the greatest part of the american dream which is resilience. and you, your life story is so amazing. i want people to get to know you better while i'm sitting in this chair tonight for sean. the united states senator, born in columbia not meant -- marilyn, the country. the youngest of seven and came here at age five is an immigrant and here you are, a united states senator in ohio. tell us what the american dream has meant to you. >> it has meant everything to me and my family. and the reason i'm here and the reason i'm serving this country in the united states senate is because it's my opportunity to get back to this country. what i find most ironic is that president trump has been vilified as anti-immigrant, somehow doesn't like immigrants, is racist et cetera. all of the slander that has been thrown his way. he endorsed me in the primary. he is the reason i got elected in the united states senate. kash patel was put in place by president trump. he has more diversity, not because he is trying to check

boxes, but because he knows that the most hardworking people who can do the job and people who were going to get it, he sees no difference between one group or another. he just wants excellence around him. and i'm so proud to be in this seat, i'm so proud of serving the people of ohio and i'm so honored to be serving at the same time as president trump. >> you defeated your opponent would been there a long time and it's a great reminder of how much the democratic party has lost touch with union members, voters of color, young people. ohio is a state that barack obama won twice and it is from country now. and then i know vice president vance has been so helpful to you as well. you endorsed him in the primary after you dropped out the last time. you have been helping each other, i think it's really just a sign of the modern republican party. before you go, weigh in on what we learned about all of this misuse of covid spending by the schools. caesar's palace in las vegas, ice cream trucks, mlb stadiums,

nonsense. tell us what you can do about that. >> we're going to get to the bottom of it. the american people want accountability, they want to know that their tax dollars are being used to benefit americans. and what the doge effort is doing is rooting out fraud, waste and abuse. and we have just scratched the surface. we have been there 1.5 months, that's it. and imagine what we will find over the next 12 months. we're going to bring back confidence not only in the fbi but in the entire government. we will do it at a record pace. >> senator from the great state of ohio, think is so much for joining us. undersecretary gnomes leadership, the dhs continues to take decisive action to stop illegal immigration. an effort to ramp up deportation operations, they signed a memo this week dipped doesn't 60000 state department officials as immigration officers. she also announced this week that she is vacating the decision by the biden-harris

administration to extend temporary protected status for illegals from haiti. at according to a new report, the trump administration is replacing the acting head of ice over concerns about the pace of deportations. here with reaction, the former acting dhs secretary, chad wolf. so chad, you had kristi noem's job in the first term, you know what's at stake here. and i'm really surprised to see that the pace which was about 94% of border crossings down, is not fast enough and that the replacing the acting iced director. what is different now than when we were there and i think that we got deportations down but there is so much resistance by this system and by the establishment. what you think is different now that is enabling the pace to go so quickly? >> i think there's two things.

primarily the environment is different today than it was in 2017. you had four years of president biden's disastrous border security policy. and the american people want a change. and the number 2 would be just the knowledge base that the trump administration has. they did for four years, they know what works and they also know it doesn't work. so what you have seen here is four weeks of unprecedented action. and i see that they are moving forward on repatriation's of deportations, it doesn't appear as if it's going as fast as they would like but it is well ahead of obviously where president biden was and certainly where president trump was in his first term. so i think they are off to a good start. >> temporary protected status, i want viewers to hear from you given the fact that you are acting dhs secretary. what it is and what it's not. the us people say oh my goodness, you can take away temperate protection from people who are persecuted or harmed. this was, in the case of haiti, it was help meant to help them many years ago when they were

surviving a natural disaster, for example. but it means they were temporarily protected and don't have a right to be here otherwise. but for that extenuating circumstance and i saw that 17 countries were in their, it is being abused in other words. so can you extinguish once and for all how it works and how it is being abused? >> it is absolutely being abused and the trump team knows this. temporary protective status is supposed to be just that, temporary in nature. but would previous administrations have done, republicans and democrats alike have just continued to extend and reextend this designation. so for haiti for instance, it has been going on for 15 years. so for 15 years we're saying that the conditions have not improved any from the earthquake that they had back in 2010. and so that's why you had 57,000 haitians eligible in 2010, you have over 520,000 eligible in

2024. so what it tells you is that there has been a misapplication of the law over the years. and this becomes a magnet for illegal immigration because weather you were coming from haiti illegally or legally, tps still applies to you. so it is a magnet to have folks come here illegally hoping that they will get tps and be able to stay here. so the trump administration has said look, we are going back to the law, we will make sure that the application of the law is what is intended, it is temporary and not forever and they were going to eliminate that magnet for illegal immigration as well. >> and what about the secretary's actions just this week in deploying 600 folks from the state department to help with the border? >> this is great. this falls on the heels of authorizing dea, etf and other law enforcement agents to help

ice go out and do their job, particularly in century cities where ice cannot go to a jail setting where they would in other cities but they actually have to go into the neighborhood. so you have i.c.e. officers going in and tracking down these criminal aliens, you have other law enforcement officers making sure that they are watching out for those officers. they're looking behind the house or behind the facilities, they're making sure that no one is going to interfere with the operations. so you still have law enforcement officers and i.c.e. officers doing the immigration mission but you were having the support of other law enforcement officers and in this case data permit officers helping them because this is one of president trump's top priorities. so what you see now is very different than what you saw previously is that this is a whole of government effort and i think they are going to be very successful. >> and in the remaining seconds, the whole of government applies to fentanyl as well i'm so glad president trump has introduced that into the american lexicon. he is committed to get in fentanyl out of our country.

law enforcement, recovery and treatment and certainly education and prevention. with the time we have remaining, how successful can this actually be to get fentanyl to stop coming into our communities and our kids? >> look, if anyone can do it it is president trump who continues, as you said, to put this on the forefront of one of his many priorities. you didn't hear president biden at all talk of the fentanyl crisis or his solutions to it. most ignored it for four years. and what president trump has done with the cartels and designate them as a foreign terrorist organization kaik use going to the heart of the problem. weather it is the human trafficking and the illegal narcotics and the fentanyl that is coming across the border, cartels are the heart of it and president trump knows this and understands that. >> chad will, the former acting dhs secretary and american first policy institute, think is so much for all of the insight. coming up, israel's prime minister is calling for revenge. after hamas returns the remains of a female hostage.

♪ ♪ >> welcome back to the special edition of "hannity". the u.s. and israel are turning up the heat on hamas. after a body sent back was not that of a young mother. this was revealed through testing. after this latest broken promise by hamas, one u.s. official's warning hamas that they will face, quote, total annihilation.

and in response, israel's prime minister is calling for revenge. but even worse, israeli officials say that that woman's to young children, ages four years and another only 10 months old, were brutally murdered by hamas. not killed in an air strike as hamas previously claimed. so what happens now? here to weigh in, the deputy special envoy for the middle east, and an israeli special ops veteran. so morgan, you have part of the pen on this now and we are all outraged. all freedom loving, humane moral people are outraged to think that the body was so disfigured where she was so brutally murdered that they could not possibly have returned her and yet we know her 4-year-old and her 10-month-old babies were brutally murdered and i'm glad we are showing pictures of them because people should know that

this all has a consequence. and adam who you and i had the privilege of serving, and you're serving with him now, he is called for total annihilation if hamas does not come clean on this. please tell us what is happening tonight. >> i think adam is echoing the threats of the president of the united states and we have heard of course mike waltz who is the national security advisor, he said very explicitly that hamas cannot rule gaza after all of this. but for context for your viewers, let's mention what happened and this is tough to hear on a friday night. but remember on october seventh it wasn't just hamas that came over that day. it was islamic jihad and other terrorist groups. and then a final wave that came over that day were groups of gazan civilians who took part in the kidnappings and some of the brutal atrocities that happened that day. so we saw this young woman that has haunted me for the past few

nights. it has been hard for me to sleep because i have a young daughter and i know that every jewish mom , every parent out there with young children, you just see the images of this frightened woman who went into gaza, who was dragged there with her babies, came back and coffins. and let's not forget, the same civilians that were a part of coming over and bringing these people, these israeli citizens back to gaza, these same civilians were cheering in the images we saw of the coffins of babies being taken back into israeli custody. so that brings me, i think to the most important point. that you have a depraved society here. a society that has to not only be demilitarized but has to be deradicalized. and that's why i think president trump's comments with prime minister net and yahoo at the white house, the first head of state to visit the white house in trump's second

term, and president trump scent a very clear and strong signal about the deradicalization that has to happen in this population and if you didn't believe president trump a few weeks ago, look at the image of the crowd clapping and cheering as babies go back in their coffins in israel without their mother. >> so aaron cohen, some very poignant and sadly true picture of the state of affairs. we like to hear from you. >> here's where i am at with this. hamas, as i see it, is the largest terror cartel in the world. we're talking about cartels these days, let's call hamas what it is, a terror cartel and explain it. psychological warfare and fear are their main tool. and parading these hostage bodies, putting the wrong body in the bags, parading them around, putting them on this stage and designed to manipulate the media and break the grieving families in israel to spread

that fear. but here's the truth. hamas is not a government, they never were, they put themselves in like a cartel would and they are the world's largest terror cartel. and they have lived in luxury for years, billionaires using their own people as human shields and they have laundered billions through fake charities, crypto scams and state sponsors. and i will say it, qatar and türkiye who is now housing the final leaders that we haven't killed yet. so what you do with these criminals? you have to dismantle them and i agree with morgan 100%. but here you have to cut off the cash, freeze the assets, shut down there fake charities and sanctioned these e-mailers. then you have to finish off the leadership. hamas leaders are not politicians, these are war criminals and they need to be taken out or brought before the courts. then you have to take gaza back like she said. no more terror state, demilitarized completely. deradicalized completely and

remove hamas permanently and qatar and türkiye need to start being looked at more seriously. no more free pass. cut hamas off or pay the price. you just cannot negotiate with this group anymore. you need to bankrupt them completely. >> and president trump and the secretary of state rubio, and of course mike waltz all have weighed in on this recently. vice president vance, i think everyone is of a single her mind here. and we just saw the speed of a family, god rest their souls. thank you so much for joining me. coming up, stevie miller, the deputy white house chief of staff calls out the media for ignoring biden's obvious cognitive decline. and you will not believe what hollywood liberals appear to agree with stephen miller. we have got the details as this special edition continues.

♪ ♪ >> welcome to this special edition of "hannity". yesterday, the white house podium, deputy chief of staff stephen miller called out the media for call think -- covering up joe biden's cognitive decline. and explained that their negligence allowed an unelected bureaucracy to rule in president jo's place. take a look. >> it is true that many of the people in this room, for four years, failed to cover the fact that joe biden was mentally incompetent and was not running the country. it is also true that many people in this room who have used this talking point that elon is not elected failed to understand how government works. so for a brief civics lesson, the whole will of democracy is

imbued into the elected president. that president then appoints staff to then impose that democratic will on to the government. the threat to democracy, the existential threat to democracy is the unelected bureaucracy of lifetime tenure civil servants who believe they answer to no one. what president trump is doing is that he is removing federal bureaucrats who are defining democracy by failing to implement his lawful orders which are the will of the whole american people. >> love that government 101 lesson. you will never guess who agrees with him. none other than george clooney, the liberal hollywood actor told "the new york times" he believes that biden and his team covered up bidens clearly declining health and that the media, quote, dropped the ball on trying to route out of the truth. here now with reaction are the project 2121 chairman and a democratic pollster, dog.

dog, you don't speak for the democratic party but i'm sure you've been around the likes of the george clooney's, the elite who really do have positions on some issues that compel them to want to be involved in politics and help public servants but they just seem so tone-deaf to what the rest of the country is thinking now. what has happened in terms of hollywood's intersection of the democratic party such that neither seems to have much going on, much respect vis-a-vis the american people these days. >> kelly and, you took the words right out of my mouth. i have a lot more respect and interest and what the american people think and the popular will than i do for what hollywood elites, weather it be george clooney or anyone else thanks. and as to the substance of what stephen miller said, i don't think i would put it quite the way he did but it sure is the case that joe biden was not up

to the job, should not have been there and most assuredly should not have run for reelection. i think what is gratifying is that it was ultimately the american people who got joe biden to drop out. and it was the american people who rejected the biden-harris policies. so there was a democratic election and i am very much committed to more democratic elections back whatever the result, whether my side or the other side wins. >> and while the latest polls show the democratic party is having a crisis of confidence vis-a-vis the american people, they're looking for a new messenger but i would argue they don't have much of a message. what is your advice to the democrats? >> first, they should agree with president trump on issues where there is no disagreement. reducing inflation, the cost of living, reducing the size and scope of government, taxation, we need tax cuts and we also need border security.

i am bipartisan solutions on everything. we democrats can disagree on issues, we do disagree on. we did that with bill clinton and i would make the argument to my party, rather than trying to defy the popular will, they should understand it and govern or try to govern with it and it distinguished themselves that is appropriate, not yell, scream and create chaos where none need exist. >> and show up outside with all of their silly signs about elon musk and the january sixth pardons and all of this other stuff that they constantly want to run on which isn't much of a message. so some this all up for us. what george clooney is trying to do is get a pass for being complicit in being part of the cover-up and the crime of allowing joe biden to stay in as president when he clearly saw amid these fund-raisers, clearly knew people who were around him and did not get to "the new york times" until his

friend barack obama said please write an op-ed saying joe biden should leave after that debate. but horace, george clooney never says what doug says, does he? that, hey,, now is the time to put our muskets down and get some bipartisan action on the things that our country really needs r. >> you know, there are a couple of big observations to be made about the president bidens obvious mental decline. first is that our founders gave us a first amendment not because it is great to be a journalist, there's nothing wrong with being a journalist but they wanted the american people to be informed. to be able to hold their government accountable. the fifth estate dropped the ball entirely. because they have become cheerleaders instead of people holding those in power accountable. the second observation is when

you don't have a competent leader and instead the bureaucracy runs the place, they don't know what it means to be politically accountable. they don't run for office, they don't stand up in front of god and everybody and say this is what we are going to do. i wrote a book called put your back in chains which outlines the terrible policies that were put forward by the biden administration, obviously by people who didn't understand that these thoughts, of these views, these regulations were hated by the american people and harmed them. the media failed us and our system requires -- it requires our president to be able to implement policies and that

those are the policies that we hold him accountable for. >> dog and horace can ask excellent insights. the fear of donald trump coming back is actually helping him get back and the way they treated him helped him resurrect and now he is really pulling out root and branch, so many of the bad programs they have put in there. thank you very much. coming up, the left continues to try to obstruct president trump's executive orders. especially when it comes to keeping men out of women's sports. trump and the governor of maine got into a heated exchange today at the white house over that very issue. we have the tape, stay with us.

♪ ♪ >> welcome back to the special edition of "hannity".

a few weeks ago, president trump issued an executive order making one thing clear. any jurisdiction that allows men to participate in women's sports will not receive federal funding. that is my favorite picture of the first month, him with all the girls. the state of maine seems to have a problem with that. but luckily for president trump, the governor of maine was at the white house today. and trump got to discuss this with her directly. take a look at the exchange. >> the ncaa has complied immediately, by the way, that's good. but i understand maine -- is maine here, the governor of maine? are you not going to comply with it? we are the federal law. you better do it, you better do it because you are not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't. and by the way, your population, even though it somewhat liberal, i did very well there in your population does not want men playing in women's sports. so you better comply because otherwise you are not getting any federal funding.

every state -- good, ". >> court, i look forward to that, that should be an easy one. and enjoy your life after, governor because i don't think you'll be in elected politics. >> trump is right about that last part. the people of maine and the people of the united states do not want men competing in women's sports. here now with reaction are the steamboat institute fellow caeli mckay white and the host of the gains for girls podcast on the oat cake network. rielly, i know you were there when the president signed executive order, you have been working on this for so long and calling it out for what it is, you experienced it yourself. how in the world could a sitting governor go against the public sentiment of her own state, federal law, pick a fight with the president and the people's house and risk funds that are needed by her states because she refuses to follow other people?

>> it sounds insane when you say it out loud like that. but really, we should not be surprised. this is what the left has done time and time and time again over the past four years and certainly in the months since president trump took office. but president trump's moral clarity,'s decisive action,'s swiftness and responding very emphatically, if you do not comply, you will not receive federal funding. that is how it should be. the constitution is clear the federal laws such as title ix take precedent over state laws. so i believe the government of maine is about to be reminded of that in a manner they probably will not like and it's important to mention maine received more than $5 billion in federal funding last year. there is no way this small state, i think their populations like one point for 1.5 million. there is no way a small state like that can survive without federal funding. so we will see how quickly they get in line and i think this could also be a fantastic wake-up call for the senator as well.

>> so kailey, the hhs secretary a couple weeks ago has issued new guidance to say that there are two genders, males and females. now there are a couple cnn anchors who have very little chemistry and know even less about biology. they were very upset that this happened because they say that most scientists, quote, unquote,, have a more expansive definition of gender. what you say that? >> i think this is trump's superpower. he always gets his enemies to do exactly what he wants them to do. in the case of maine, he wants a defiant state because he wants to make an example out of that state. and based on the education department's response just this afternoon, hours after that exchange between him and the governor, he is going to get to do just that. the education department has already launched a civil rights investigation into the state of maine. and another part of trump's

power here is that he gets his opponents to embrace fringe, radical positions that are guaranteed losers. and be say this a lot but i think it is worth repeating since the left seems incapable of pulling its head out of the sand to recognize this. this is an eight e-20 issue. i think even deep blue states like new mexico, for example,, completely democratic-controlled, has one of the most radical laws on gender ideology and the entire country and at the independent women's forum, we just released bowling this week that shows that 84% of new mexicans, including 79% of registered democrats in the state agree that men have no place in women's sports. this is a guaranteed political loser and it is a guaranteed legal loser as well for democrats. >> these poles on men and women's sports are like is the sky-blue and grass green, yes or no. you are both on college campuses quite a bit, rielly, what is going to be the state of the ncaa now and college campus sports? how does this play out there?

>> well the ncaa released a new policy following trump's executive order. charlie baker made a very clear that he was going to fall in line with this executive order. but of course, the policy that was released has glaring loopholes. it does not define male and female, at resorts to things like birth certificate is how they classify. it still allows men onto women's teams to matter how you read the policy. there is no oversight or screening in this policy. so i believe we need to continue owning their feet to the fire. we have the ability to do it now. president trumps executive order was beautifully and thoroughly written and i believe that just like in the case of maine, if the ncaa will not comply with title ix and with this executive order, i believe that they deserve to lose federal funding as well. >> not just maine, the ncaa. so president trump did better among 18-29-year-old young man in the polls in november than any republican president since

1988. do you think this is the kind of issue that would get more young women to vote for him? >> absolutely. and i say this as a young adult myself, this is a galvanizing issue for a generation because we have experienced the unfairness directly and respeaking out about it. >> excellent, thank you so much. really appreciate it. stay with us, more of the special edition of "hannity" right after the break. 7 million us businesses rely on tiktok to compete. within a week of posting, i had over $25,000 in sales. i don't have a million dollars to put towards marketing and branding.
