i know bill ackman pretty well. lauren? and? >> i hope bill ackman doesn't buckle.n attacking corporate america for years. he often gets his way. he will have stuff in front of his every day. this is like his modus operandi. 20 years ago there was a white storekeeper in harlem. he ran a business called freddies. you know i covered it tangentially at the time. he was, there was some sort of dispute about freddy's, al sharpton protested. called the, the white store owner a white interloper. couple days later someone lit that store on fire. i believe someone died. this is this is al sharpton's modus operandi. it is playing down and dirty and the question really is, for me now is, you know, the country has changed a lot. i mean there is, i'm writing a whole book about this. it is called go woke, go broke. it will come out this time year hopefully. got to finish the manuscript and it is basically done and there is a sea change right now. al sharpton doesn't scare corporate america as much because most americans despise dei. they despise wokeness. they despites his racial

this happens now to bill ackman's wife. bill ackman has been on a campaign.y was accused of doing. then he says, she's a human, she makes mistake. i think that is a reasonable answer, and i think we should give bill ackman's wife at the grace that she made a mistake as a human. because she -- he's got money, so he is going to fund a review of every academic at m. i. t.'s research. this did not happen before there were women and people of color in power. people could get away with whatever they could play with. we were not really in a meritocracy, because a whole lot of people were left out of that discussion. >> absolutely, what we are seeing is what we have known to always been the case. white men get the benefit of the doubt. they get the presumption that they are qualified, that they are the most qualified. the person of color, particularly a woman of color, particularly a black woman, the presumption is she is not. and she is deserving at the extra scrutiny, because she should not be in the position. let me tell you, in the 380 years that harvard has visi

. >> dana: bill ackman, a wealthy individual on this from the beginning writes new whistleblower complaintlleging 50 instances of plagiarism by gay. whistleblower races serious issues how the initial investigation into her work was conducted. the media must dig deeper here, gay gate is in need of greater sunlight. it might be the mainstream media doesn't look anymore into this. we're not in the age where the mainstream media uncovers things like this necessarily anymore. you look at stanford and what happened to that president based on a student who wrote a piece in the newspaper which basically led to the eventual resignation. in this case for claudine gay, what do you think she is holding on for? >> i will tell you, she is waiting. she is the first black female president of harvard ever. so there is a tremendous amount of pressure on harvard not to fire the first black female. notwithstanding the incompetence or the cheating or the horrible statements that she made in not supporting the jewish students on campus. there is a laundry list to terminate her. skin color and ethnicity shouldn'

there are others like bill ackman who went to harvard and donated 26 million, he is calling for investigatione harvard corporation saying the investigation into her only took a month and it was foregone conclusion. a lot of people don't know what is academic plagiarism? when you see some of those passages side by side she lifted from other academics, it is pretty clear she was stealing their words while they were doing the work. >> harris: can you put quote wills around it and make it mine? >> dagen: way she handled it, the answer is no, read the harvard crimeson piece written by undergraduate student who is on honor council. claudine gay is getting off easy and calls for gay's resignation, it reads omitting quotation marks are not citing sources and constitutes plagiarism, first violation is a permanent mark on a student's record and would be probation. her case, what is striking about the allegations of plagiarism, routine and pervasive. an old joke, how do you know someone went to harvard? they tell you. now the reaction by people, they were like, i went to harvard, growing reaction is lik

lauren: elon musk agrees with the point bill ackman is making, discrimination on the basis of race, whichtion of racism. mark cuban responded dei create competitive advantages. musk says putting a short white or asian woman on it? that was good. the question is is this. can we have a diverse meritocracy? that the larger question. forcing people and companies to do certain things, i think the answer is yes. what has happened in my opinion because of dei is it is pushing these companies to the same a pool of workers because they meet these qualifications. that's too small to get the advantage mark cuban is talking about. stuart: that is original thinking. out of sight. you saved it until later on friday morning. lauren: i'm a short white woman and i want to play for them average. stuart: here's a headline for you. harvard crisis signals broader fight over what a university should be. nicholas geodon oh is good on this subject. should students have to sign statements, attend mandatory classes, use approved language to get into a college or a business? >> as someone who has been in the classr

the hiring of gay was failed attempt of dei and bill ackman wants the corporation held accountable, especiallypritzker should resign -- bypass process for evaluating plagiarism and contributed to damage that has been done. i read her op ed and basically to defend herself, she says it is about her race, which plagiarism has nothing to do with race, in my opinion. she says, i fell into a well laid trap. that is what she is saying about that testimony on capitol hill when elise stefanik was questioning her. it is everybody elsz's fault, but claudine gay according to her op ed. >> todd: well said, she messed up and now blaming everybody else. thank you. washington d.c. activist planning to shut down the city on mlk day to protest. >> january 15th, mlk day, we are starting here. it will turn into a protest. we are not playing, we are shutting it down and letting owners know, stop the move or stop business. >> todd: former loudoun county school board member john beatty join me now whachl do you make of this? >> people have right to protest, if they do it the right way thachl is fine. crime in the ar

the pressure came from not only the media and certain areas of the media that came from this, bill ackman brought this to bear on x and then you saw, i think, the fallout. what happened yesterday was the result of the fallout. you look at admissions, the number of people trying to apply to these universities dropped dramatically at harvard. you look at donors. the number of donors dropped dramatically. and the third thing is harvard mba grads. i don't know if you saw that. there was a 10 percentage points drop since 2021 in job offers for harvard mbas. there were only a few who have been offered jobs at this point, down 11 percentage point osser 10 percentage points which is pretty phenomenal. >> some of it is -- >> you have people saying we're not going to take anybody from here until you actually change the university and that was a very pointed campaign and that's the entire flywheel that these universities are paud on. you don't feel like paying something unless you're getting something with it. >> i struggle to see any hares on any side of this. you keep pointing out the performance.

now, people like bill ackman, well, he was one of the exceptions. once the herd changed its mind, whenever that was. well, she didn't last long. in america only populist have the wherewithal to stand up to the rich. everybody else including the hard left and so-called republicans either go along with the rich or eventually they get crushed. so now the question is how many other claudine gays are there in academia? answer if you have that many fingers. i think they were created in a lab or something. any professor or administrator of any color or any background doesn't need to be caught plagiarizing to occupy an office he or she never deserved. the ivies aren't going to suddenly being woke because of one resignation. jameson was the man chosen as the interim president by upenn when it canned liz magill. he has been with the school since 2011 serving as its executive vice president for the health system and the dean of the pearlman school of medicine. here is what he has been up to since coming to penn. after covid and george floyd, he made a point to
