washington tonight. thank you for being with us. putting evil in context. that's the focus of tonight's angle. >> laura: more fallout from the hill yesterday from college presidents who have equivocated on the noxious anti-semitic atmosphere on their campuses. some of the most revealing and disturbing exchanges are just now being seen by americans. >> specifically calling for the genocide of jews. does that constitute bullying harassment? >> if it is directed ander is veer pervasive is harassment. >> so the answer is yes? >> it is a context dependent decision, congresswoman. >> it's a context dependent decision. that's your answer today calling on the genocide of jews. >> if the speech becomes conduct, it can become harassment, yes. >> laura: surely the esteemed harvard university president had a much clearer response. >> >> at harvard, does calling for

the genocide of jews violate harvard's rules of bullying and harassment? yes or no? >> it can be, depending on the context. >> what's the context? >> targeted at an individual. anti-semitic rhetoric, when it crosses into conduct, that amounts to bullying, harassment, intimidation, that is actionable conduct and we do take action. >> so, the answer is yes, that calling for the genocide of jews violates harvard code of conduct, correct? >> again, it depends on the context. >> it does not depend on the context. the answer is yes. this is why you should resign. >> laura: now imagine if an lgbtq student coalition felt harassed or maybe targeted by some type of right wing mob on the harvard campus, and they were even forced to flee into classrooms to hide, would president gay need context to

call them in violation of the school's code of conduct? well, we know the answer to that. she has since tried to clarify her remarks writing in part calls for violence or genocide against the jewish community or any religious or ethnic group are vile and have no place at harvard and those who threaten our jewish students will be held to account. obviously the grown ups at harvard had to tell her that she skewed up royally. it's a humiliating moment for what is supposed to be the premier university in the united states. >> the mit president sally corn bluff was maybe the best of the bunch but that's not saying much. yes or no? calling for the genocide of jews does not constitute bullying and harassment. >> i have not heard calling for the genocide of jews on our campus. >> you have heard chants for intifada. >> i have heard chants which can be anti-semitic depending on the context when calling for the elimination of the jewish people. >> so those would not be

according to the mit's code of conduct or rules? >> that would be investigated as harassment if pervasive and severe. >> laura: if pervasive and severe? if they are saying destroy the jewish people long live the antifad da means. even just a few times, how is that not jeer? again. we know the answer and we will never forget what happened when former trump officials were invited to speak to students. [chanting] >> you canceled an event with former ice director tom homan due to disruptive student press simply because he worked for former president donald trump. why did penn let professor ahmad

amul la off the hook who led hundreds of students? chanting there is only one solution antifad da revolution? >> our approach to speech as i identified it follows and guided by the united states constitution. which allows for robust perspectives. i disagree with the characterization that we treat speech differently. >> laura: a vocal critic of how these schools have handled the pro-hamas activism on campus bill ackman summed up his reaction to the testimony wondering why these presidents still have their jobs. writing the presidents' answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership. they must all resign in disgrace. if a ceo of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.

of course that's absolutely correct. were any of these women by the way really the most qualified individuals in america to rub their respective institutions? doubtful. but we all know that they checked enough boxes to leapfrog everyone else who was in the running for these positions. that's how you play the game at these universities. don't rock the boat, and certainly always give left wing students and faculty members the benefit of the doubt in campus controversies. the utter disdain that these college presidents demonstrated yesterday mirrored how they treat their alumni as well. many of whom do not really approve of the way things are unfolding on campus. when they are trying to grow the endowments, of course, these universities they know how to put on a show of respectability and they showcase an ora of excellence on campus. you see, the monthly mailings and alumni magazines, they are the way most experienced campus

life after they graduate. it looks all slick and wonderful. nostalgia kicks in and then they take out their checkbooks. is there any sense at all after all of this, that these universities are really waking up? i'm not sure. unless you think that u penn's new initiative is a way to combat anti-semitism on campus announced yesterday it's called "conversations for community and dinners across differences." someone actually was paid to do this by the way, come up with this idea. it's going to offer meals free of charge for penn community members allowing them to discuss issues of interest to bring people together free food. that will help keep quiet the long live the antifad da chants, i'm sure. clearly these university presidents like the white house itself, they are walking on egg shells, afraid to offend pro-hamas constituents. they may be a minority, these

pro-hamas people in the democrat party, but they are loud and they are very tech savvy. and biden needs their energy in 2024. that's for sure. but today we learned that the anti-israel revolt isn't just hang in the ivy leagues. it's actually happening in the white house itself. dozens and dozens of white house staffers interns, signed a letter demanding a permanent cease-fire and accused israel of an ongoing genocide against the palestinian people. now, at bottom, they are also accusing the biden team for whom they work of aiding and abetting this genocide by not demanding an immediate end to israeli operation. national review had a great piece on this. they urged biden to fire the insurrectionist interns. well, fat chance. never going to happen. but think of the tuition bills that the parents of these interns paid to produce this warped thinking. a lot of money along.

it's time for all of us, conservatives, liberals and independents to ban together and use all legal challenges possible to take back these institutions from the incompetent administrators and the woke radical fringe holding them all hostage. and that's the angle. joining me now is vaughn agreeingen who resigned from u penn's board of trustees back in october. vonn, why did you resign? >> you know, laura, i served since 2009 and over that period of time i found that at every turn the word was just a rubber stamp to the chairman of the board. and that they really never disagreed, that every vote was unanimous. and when it came to this controversy, i was appalled by the lack of response by the

president of the university and you know, sought to have my fellow board members speak up with me and say something that would put her in a position to have to change her views and do something say you are on the board and wait for an emergency meeting that was called, which i did. and i found at that meeting it was just the same old, same old. so i quit on the basis that if i stayed, i would be under a fiduciary responsibility to not disclose what went on at the board and as an outside person i ask speak out about the horrible things going on at the university and call for the resignation of the board president and chair. >> laura: do you agree with bill ackman that these presidents who

testified on capitol hill yesterday, who couldn't answer simple questions, utter disdain. should they resign? >> can i tell you, this laura. there is no, no context in which the, you know, the genocide of the jewish people harassment and hateful and militias talk and, you know, it cannot be condoned, unlike what the position of the university presidents and it certainly is not conducive learning for the poor students who, you know, attend colleges and universities that were displayed in congress yesterday. >> laura: well, kids are waiting to hear now. >> bolster that point. >> laura: i'm sorry we have a delay here. let me just -- sorry, let me just -- kids are waiting to hear right now who applied early from a lot of these schools.

early. i think there is a lot of angst among. happening on campus now? >> focus on the places they go or what they do there. >> be completely honest with you as i indicated before to bolster that point the antidefamation league did a study and in the study of the jewish students american colleges, they concluded that more than half don't feel safe on college or university campus and 75% of those kids feel they have been involved in or have witnessed an act of anti-semitism. so, if you are the parent of a jewish student, in the ninth, tenth, or l or le elen evette gu

wouldn't want to send. >> laura: what do you say to the board members that are, again, very few voices of courage. yours was one, in these board scenarios. what do you say to them today? >> gps time to step up and be counted and not just serve on these boards that just have a prestigious thing to put on your resume or so that you can tell your friend i'm on the board of harvard or penn or whatever. it's time to actually be working trustee and to speak up when things aren't right and not rubber stamp, you know, what goes on. just because the chairman of the board says it's the thing to do or the president says it's the thing to do, in your heart, if you know it's wrong, you need to step up and say that it's the wrong thing. >> laura: i note that you are an

entrepreneur and entrepreneurs tend to have a lot more courage than corporate ceos. vahan, thank you much for speaking out i hope to talk to you again soon. senator holly described the classified briefing on ukraine as the most heated he has ever been part of. he is here next with all the details. stay there. ♪ - what does searching for a medicare plan feel like? - it's kind of confusing. - it's so complicated. - we get tons of mail, tons of calls.

♪ today it became really obvious that the white house is simply flying to manage the political fallout from what is obviously a complete failure of biden's pentagon and state department in ukraine. now, to support the war that we could have helped avoid in the first place, we. other than funding of the pensions of ukrainian civil servants. now, remember, biden's war hawks insisted that the summer offensive would help ukraine turn the corner on russia, but, instead, it has been more like a u-turn with still only 200 square miles of territory recaptured. that's nothing but it's not a victory, it's called a stalemate. yet, the white house is still beating the war drums. >> we want ukraine to be whole and free. we want their internationally recognized borders to be respected by everyone,

including, especially, russia. >> remember, ukrainian borders should be respected. they matter. now, the white house knows that this is a nightmare for them politically going into 2024. so they resort to the usual fear fear-mongering. >> do you think the cost of supporting ukraine is high now? just imagine how much higher it's going to be not just in national treasure, but in american blood. if he starts going after one of our nato allies. the american boots would very much have to be involved if putin is left to have strategic victory in ukraine and then perhaps goes after one of our nato allies. >> laura: how dare he speculate about our nation's blood that must be spilled. jing knee now missouri senator josh hawley. senator, the administration announced another aid package today. $175 million in arms and equipment. and they want billions more, of course. and they are trying to beg congress for it. if europe is so threatened, why is europe not ponying up the money here?

>> yeah. exactly right. i mean, this is in europe's backyard. this is a european issue first and foremost. and we need to be honest with them, laura, it's time for the europeans to take the lead on defense of their own continent. not least we need to look to china who is our biggest overseats threat. we need to secure our own southern border that brings me to my biggest beef here which is that we don't seem to have any money to do anything for americans. i mean, we can't secure our border. we can't any of our national security imperatives. yet, we have unlimited money according to joe biden for ukraine. it's crazy exactly backwards. >> i guess late today, early tonight, in congress they blocked aid to israel and ukraine because that's tied together over this border dispute trying to tie it all together in one package. tell us about that. >> well, i mean, here's the thing. we should have passed aid to israel a long time ago. our ally israel is fighting for their existence. we should have done that immediately.

the biden administration doesn't really care about israel aid. that's the bottom line. just like they don't really care about the border. they put those things together with ukraine, which is their top priority, apparently over everything else. laura, the border is wide open. we had a record number of terrorists on the terrorist watch list come across the border last year. and that's just the ones that we know about. yet, what's the administration want? more money for ukraine. it's ukraine, ukraine, ukraine. i have got to tell you i for one am not going to vote for a dime more for ukraine until the united states security, our border security is actually made whole and made right. >> laura: ukraine thing is over. they know it's over. they are treating it as a political liability and they are trying to manage it. to me, it's obvious. senator, your colleague, senator chuck schumer decided to drop a conservative president's name it would be insult to our ukrainian friends fighting their lives against russian autocracy and

could go down as a major responsibilities. rolling in his grave. own party vladimir putin roll through europe. >> laura: senator, i worked for president reagan. using reagan as a convincing argument. i must have missed the part when ukraine was a member of nato. >> yeah, and this from the party that as i distinctly remember was pro-gorbachev, pro-soviet for decades. they criticized reagan constantly. this is just a joke. it's all a joke. listen, you have democrat senators saying that our southern border is just a domestic political consideration. think about that. a domestic political consideration as if the drugs coming across the border, laura, aren't killing people many in this country by the tens of thousands. as if the human trafficking and sex trafficking isn't totally out of control. it's outrageous. our security is threatened right now on our border.

they would much rather spend money on ukraine's border than our own. i say again it's exactly backwards. it's insane. >> laura: have you ever heard senator schumer as exercised about america's security in our southern border? as he is about ukraine or frankly mitch mcconnell your colleague? i have never heard them in any way as passionate as they are about ukraine about the united states. >> no to both. absolutely not. and, listen, one of the reasons we are in the predicament we are in now republican leadership has been happy to go along with the president and shovel money to ukraine with no strings attached, no accountability, no oversight whatsoever. we are now, our border is wide open. we have got no understanding of how our money has been spent in ukraine and they are begging for more. so you bet. i mean, the congressional leadership of both parties is to blame here along with the president. and that's why it's time to say no. it's time to make american priorities the true priority here. >> laura: senator, great to see you don't.

phone while he was vice president with hunter's business associates? >> i have an idea though, let's try to jog joe's memory with a visual aid? hunter, devon archer, a burisma board member and someone whose first name rhymes with flow. joining me now mollie hemingway fox news contributor mike davis founder and ceo of the article iii project. mike, i mean, it kind of reminds me of what gavin newsom did. mollie and i were just talking at that debate against ron desantis where you deny that you ever shut california down during covid. well, no. i never did that how do you deny it at this point. >> joe biden must think the photos are lying between joe biden and hunter's business associates. he must think they are lying with the testimony under oath from tony bobulinski and devon archer. the over 300 emails with eric schwerin and joe biden's alias email account apparently are lying. and those bank statements where

it shows money coming from china to hunter and then going into joe biden's bank account. those are all lies according to joe biden. it seems to me that the person who is lying here is probably joe biden. >> laura: doesn't pass the straight face test at this point. and he obviously is in constant contact during that time period with his son's business associates. and the media even had to finally kind of, you know, say well, there are -- cnn there are these photos out there. >> >> it's been amazing to watch how the lies have changed over time. he starts out by saying i never had anything to do with anything with the business. then is he like okay, well, obviously as a loving father i was involved but i never was like too involved a little involved but i never took money. okay, well there is money but it wasn't that much money. and now he is back to i was never involved in any way. it's like he is -- there is like a glitch in the system and is he going back to where he was talking in 2016 when he first

said this lie. as you point out, there are receipts, there are photos, there is videotape, there is testimony and a house interested in looking into this biden family business. >> laura: mike, what do you think about this hunter biden testimony though? there are some who say it's going to be a big backfire on republicans. it's goings to be behind closed doors. so they really don't want to risk what hunter might say that might not, you know, pan out for what the g.o.p. has been arguing for years now about his father's relationship with his work and his overseas interest. >> there is no higher duty for the house of representatives than to figure out whether the president of the united states is compromised by tens of millions of dollars in foreign bribes and other corruption. it seems like to every biden family member, except for the 6-year-old granddaughter who they finally acknowledged under political pressure. the house has a duty to move forward on this impeachment and get to the bottom of this. >> laura: mollie, you have a big

lawsuit federal filing daily wire against the biden administration for censorship. tell us about that. >> yeah, just a few hours ago we filed a lawsuit against the state department for their illegal and unconstitutional violation of our free speech rights of our first amendment rights. and we did it with the daily wire, with the state of texas. with the new civil liberties alliance. what the suit shows is that the state department was engaged in setting up funding, marketing, promoting and continuing to work with these private companies that are engaged in censorship of speech. they privilege left wing media outlets like the "new york times" and "the washington post." they help advertisers meet those people. and they unconstitutionally go after those. >> laura: perfectly sought to deprive you of your civil rights. >> yeah. and those media outlets debunked some of the fake news coming from the left. whether it's the russian collusion scam or kavanaugh smear or covid hysteria. they are trying to shut them down. we say it's enough.

they should not be able to participate using our tax dollars and the power of the federal government. >> laura: by the way, we have to get to this. this came out late today. these cnn numbers shocking even to me in the latest poll by approval rating 37%. nearly two thirds or 63% of americans now say they disapprove of biden, just 35% in the latest results said they approve of the way is he helping the middle class, percentage of americans who say their financial situation may cause them to move out of their community. rising to a disturbing level. and this is the best they have, mike. biden is the best they have. >> biden is a disaster to american families. that's why democrats are making up claims that trump is going to be fascist. even though it's the democrats, it's joe biden who has been fascist with his justice department. >> well, and mollie, i have to

because once again meter obamacare male athletes are entering female competitions and winning. check out tessa johnson. where's the close up and evelyn williamson. these cyclists took first and second place at last weekend's women's cycling championships. well, my next guest has raced against tease is a as recently as october when she lost. joining me now multi time national champion cyclist evey edwards. how can we ever expect female athletes to win against trans athletes in the strength reliance sports ever again? >> i think just any sport we can expect for men to dominate females and i don't understand why we are having this conversation still. every rational person knows that there's a difference between biological males and that male bodies don't belong in female sport.

>> laura: well, you competed against tessa going back to 2017. tell me about that and how that went. >> i mean, it was a race opener, we went to wisconsin. i was there with my family. i had raced in the masters women race and won and decided to then finish out our time there in the elite women's race. and i really wasn't -- it wasn't on my radar that tessa would be there. i looked up off the starting line looked up the frontline and i saw a trans supporter with a huge balloon shaped hat that was in the form of a trans flag. and then tessa and i did battle through the first couple of corners on that first lap. it's a multi lap race. there is barriers. there is flyovers that you have to ride your bike over. you are on and off. quite honestly once i realized that it felt like the competition was meaningless to me. it kills your desire to do your best when you know that it's

unfair. >> laura: evey, how long did you train to become a champion? >> i was an ncaa runner so i have been an athlete my entire life. i very distinctly remember when i was the fastest kid in elementary school as many female athletes do recall. it's not that long that you then become the fastest girl. so there is always a difference. there is a biological difference. and so being a lifelong athlete is important to me. i raced in -- i was a runner in college and then became a cyclist. i have been racing competitively for 17 years. i have also birthed two children and they are both athletes. so it's extremely important to me to understand and to impart in my children and to the women around me that competition should be fair. and it's not fair when we are told that a very select few men are allowed special rules and considerations and that their feelings are more important than fairness in women's sport. this is on any category. any level.

right now we have the elite women who are protected. >> laura: what i'm trying to understand, evie, is there a time in which women to decide you know something? we are boycotting this fraud. it's a fraud what is happening. this is fraudulent. this is unfair. and we're not participating in this. >> yeah, it's really hard. women train and they are very focused on trying to do their best. and it's just -- it's hard knowing that there's this variable that a male could show up. and you just don't know. you are not expecting it. and we're getting to a point where almost every female that takes the line in a competition is going to need to expect that there is a male body there taking an opportunity away from her. >> laura: if tessa was competing in the same category among the elite male cyclists how we do? >> oh, tessa, no. tessa already was a male cyclist and was mediocre.

>> laura: yeah, that's what i figured as someone who was an athlete in my day. evie, great to see you. thanks so much for. when it comes to so-called transphobic they cannot take it? >> although the title of this hearing implies a much needed discussion. we are likely going to be forced to listen to transphobic bigotry. >> if my testimony makes me transphobic then i believe your opening monologue makes you a misogynist. >> excuse me, i move to have the gentlewoman's words taken down. >> the committee will suspend. >> can i just ask how it's fair to be called transphobic. >> there is. >> i would say men disguising themselves as women are engaging in personality disorder. >> hang on, hang on. >> order, order. let's get a ruling. >> that was great. joining me now riley gaines director at the leadership institute independent women's forum ambassador.

reilly, there are a lot of moments, stunning moments in that hearing. the panic that you could hear set in among the democrats when you gave them a little taste of their own medicine. i was hysterically laughing. did you expect to rattle them that much? >> no, of course i was not prepared to add that last sentence it wasn't in my initial testimony. after listening to lee's opening monologue it really hit me. of course, my stance on this issue of allowing men into women's sports, my stance is pro-woman. it's not anti-anything. it's being pro-woman is being anti-trans what is inherently being pro-trans be antiwoman which is what a misogynist is they are antiwoman. that's the behavior of that representative lee and all the democrats in that hearing that's the behavior they displayed. of course it was ad-lib. i said. this and it certainly sent them into a tail spin. they basically had to factor around reset go into a time-out.

but they -- i think it's telling. they hate when their own interactional language is used against them. lawrence. >> laura: it's about time we did that. you did so brilliantly i might add. well, alexandria ocasio-cortez was painting this dire picture of what would happen, riley if, indeed, there was some kind of check in place to prevent biological men from competing in women's sports. watch this. >> we are talking about opening up all women and girls to gentle examination when they are under age, potentially just because someone can point to someone and say i don't think you're a girl. we're supposed to believe that this is going to make us better? >> laura: my goodness is she ignorant? that's a polite way of saying it. it's really beyond stupid. is this what you are advocating

genital exams for young athletes? >> no. her response was entirely -- i mean that was fear-mongering. maybe what she is referring to is a routine physical that every athlete male, female, every athlete has to go through, maybe that's what she means? but the idea of genital inspection, that's not happening anywhere. and i think both sides of the aisle can agree that's not an appropriate or satisfactory way to determine sex. that's silly. states -- she was referring to state lengths lay temperature and what the states are doing. 2 # states passed a fairness in women's sports bill. and what these states are doing referring to birth certificates or some form of government issued identification so that's definitely silly. >> laura: i guess the birth certificate idea was lost on aoc. riley, excellent, excellent job. we need more people on the hill who think like you do. thank you so much. all right. up next, we are going to expose the governor who stole christmas and a president who is

time for "seen and unseen" where we revealed the stories behind the headlines. raymond arroyo, as we mentioned, his pole numbers are in total freefall without exaggeration. but biden is justifying another presidential campaign this way. >> would you be running for president if trump wasn't running? >> i expect so. but he is running and i have to run. >> reporter: if he drops out, will you drop out? >> no, not now. >> this may be the first time in american politics where some guy runs because he really doesn't like the other guy. but if the other guy wasn't running he might not be running either. this is the beginning of the bogeyman campaign.

we saw this in the la fundraisers biden did with steven spielberg and barbra streisand where he made the case that trump is hitler and he's going to take all your abortions away. i guess that is the last card in the deck when the black for bass, american arabic base are abandoning him he's got to find an angle where you can. >> when he said he is looking into the darkness toward the light he said not now. i thought he meant where is my milk and cookies. not now. i never know what the man is talking about. >> today, the president held a native american summit at the white house. a code talker was probably needed to make sense of this address. 3 historic protections were my predecessor guided gutted by my predecessor at three national monuments. by the way, how that happened, i was on the plane and a little girl came up to me and said

mr. president, can you take care of business? i thought you said can i take care of her ears. >> what is it, laura, with this president and little girls ears? remember this from a few weeks ago. >> thank you, thank you, thank you. i love your ears. they are really cool. what is your name? how old are you? 17? >> 6. >> oh my lord. run cindy lou who. it's going to be your ears. >> raymond when he said bears ears, i don't know. >> i thought he said brassieres for a minute. >> that was a clinton press conference. >> the real grinch is california governor gavin newsom who has announced that the annual tree lighting ceremony in sacramento is now canceled due to pro-

hamas protesters. newsom turned the tree lighting ceremony into a virtual event and this poor woman thought she was attending the tree lighting in person. >> virtually? >> correct. >> disappointed. the whole thing is sad. >> will you watch virtually? >> probably not. >> laura, this is unbelievable. he heard there were going to be pro- hamas protesters at the tree lighting ceremony. so gavin newsom cancels a 92 year tradition and makes it a virtual event. he did this a few weeks ago when pro- hamas protesters invaded the democratic state convention in california and they shut that down too. collapsing to this mob, giving up religious and national traditions, 92 year tradition that the majority hold dear. this is a huge mistake politically, culturally and many

other ways. >> the gavin who stole christmas. ramen, this isn't a point we have mentioned before. the pro- hamas crowd, the islam is, the political islamists are not just anti-semitic. they are anti-christian, anti- judeo-christian tradition. there is a desire to dominate the culture with islam. that is kind of the ultimate goal of the political islamists. >> a pluralistic society is not acceptable. this is totalitarianism. this is what it looks like. stamp out everything that i don't believe. that's not the american way and is not the american system. >> did they take the roast beast too? raymond, also in california this time in san mateo thieves are getting pretty brazen. this guy actually stole the christmas tree off a family's car roof.

that's how desperate it is getting. >> and you believe it? i believe i can top your yuletide outrage. the porch pirates in antioch, california stole a santa decoration from a family's front porch. the idea that you are taking joy from children, stealing christmas trees. these people should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and made an example of. you know who i hope comes and visits them? cramp us. i hope he is real. >> santa claus, why are you stuffing our tree up the chimney? remember that from the grinch? i am just getting the tree lights repaired. that's the greatest of all time. that and charlie brown christmas. wonderful to see you. thank you. that's it for us tonight. set your dvr and stay connected with us. follow me on instagram and ex. jesse and the gang are next. welcome to "jesse watters primetime". tonight, he says you're not going to be
