this was harvard's president last march. >> harvard is an american university. our institutions have a responsibility to contribute positively to our own societies and to the national good as to the world at large. but as universities, we fulfill this charge precisely by embodying and defending academic values that transcend the boundaries of any one country. >> laura: i love the soundtrack, by the way, underneath that. transcend the boundaries of any nation. as we see in the current pandemic, boundaries do in fact matter and the ccp's values aren't our values. i'm not trying to pick on harvard, just happens to be the biggest. china has plans amongst students and researchers across america, most recently at the university of texas, ucla, and the university of kansas. and again, you, the u.s. taxpayers, are perversely funding this! for more than a decade, i've been warning about the damage this has been doing to america. senator tom cotton, he's rightly outraged. >> it's a scandal to me that we have trained so many of the chinese come his party's brightest minds

china has given harvard, as i said, $93.7 million, 200,070 chinese students and scholars at harvard. harvard now has an academic center in china. all of this that we just talked about, this is stunning, stunning stuff. and by the way, harvard's recruitment of chinese scholars and chinese connection. my favorite story. a renowned harvard researcher was busted for allegedly lying about his involvement in a chinese recruitment operation. the prc had paid him $50,000 a month plus living expenses for his work at wuhan university of technology. and get this, he ran his own nano science center at harvard. he's a brainiac. he received $15 million in grants from -- wait for it -- the nih. all the while, he was taking big money from china to allegedly help them recruit talent to then steal our trade secrets. this is harvard's president last march. >> harvard is an american university as that is a chinese university. our institutions have a responsibility to contribute positively to our own societies and to the national good. as well as to the world at large. but as universities, when you fulfi

at steele never attended the university he also often hung out with the famed harvard harvard professor and attorney alan dershowitz who is now embroiled in a legal battle stemming from his own ties to epstein and he also gave a lot of money to america's so-called most prestigious university so joining us to dig a little deeper are our friend legal and media analyst lionel is here so lionel let me ask you this how can harvard not be held to the same account the same standards that any organization that uses money from somebody who's been prosecuted for like a criminal enterprise. that question answers the question because you can't miller what if he had been the head of the class and area nation chop all over what would anybody have said i think the harvard alarms would say wait a minute don't you do a little bit of vetting and manila here's the thing we're not talking about somebody who just gave money we're talking about somebody who was actually there who set up shop who had keyless entry in code somebody who a stone simply held himself out as being a member of the harvard faculty fa

according to the fbi without harvard's knowledge, he didn't tell harvard, dr. lieber was paid up to $50,000 a month in salary by the chinese and $150,000 annually for living expenses, and more than $1.5 million to establish and run a shadow lab in china. interestingly the lab was in wuhan, china. none of this was disclosed on his federal grant application where he got u.s. taxpayer money. if it had been disclosed, he wouldn't have gotten the money. that's just wrong. the criminal complaint is based on his not telling the truth to the federal investigators, even though he was essentially defrauding harvard and defrauding the u.s. government funding sources. but that's not a crime. failing to disclose compensation from a foreign government is not currently a crime. we make it a crime. that's part of our legislation. the bill gives the justice department the ability to hold federal grant recipients accountable for hiding their financial ties to foreign governments by failing to disclose it on federal grant applications. transparency and honesty on grant applicatio

you may remember hearing about this issue earlier this year when a harvard professor named dr. charles lieber, who was chair of harvard university's chemistry department was accused of secretly taking money from china and sharing his u.s. taxpayer funded research with china. it was a shocking example of this. but he's not the only case. in march rereceived news of another arrest of a professor who used to work at west virginia university who participated in thousand talents. in this case, the justice department found he had convinced his employer, a u.s. public university, to give him paid parental leave funded by american taxpayers while he went to china to work at university there to work on specializing molecular reaction used in coal conversion technology, this is from west virginia university. these are as bad as they are. this month we've actually had three more cases announced by the department of justice and fbi in relation to this thousand talents program. i commend the doj and fbi for their work to continue to crack down on this program and to go after these problems,
