rana mitter is the professor of us—asia relations at harvard kennedy school.o explain why the us, although it backs taiwan, does not support its independence. this is something that has been an issue for more than 50 years. when the people's republic of china was recognised by the united states back in the 1970s, part of the overall deal was that they would not acknowledge taiwan as a separate internationally recognised state, and that still stands today. although the american presidentjoe biden has made it clear that he would defend taiwan — he has used that phrase before — if china were to attack it, he has also made it clear, as has secretary of state antony blinken, that formal independence is not something they would support, so the limbo status quo that we have today is really what is likely to remain. it's been shown that it's probably supported by about 80% of taiwan's own voters. china was worried about william lai and they've said they have concerns about the result, but william lai has actually softened his rhetoric when it comes to formal independe

he's a professor of history, race, and public policy at harvard's kennedy school.ols, who's a staff writer for the atlantic, a professor emeritus at the u.s. naval war college. gentlemen, thank you both so much for being here. the conventional wisdom is that claudine gay resigned because of this rolling series of plagiarism revelations. those were brought to light by conservative activists and fanned into flames by those same people. but the evidence is there. i know you believe there is much more afoot here. i wonder if you could explain that a little bit. khalil: sure. they have been involved in a concerted movement beginning in the fall of 2020 to censor knowledge in this country. to prohibit the teaching of race and racism, of gender discrimination in the k-12 arena. in florida and texas as of just this past fall, they began to extend that reach into the public universities and colleges of that state. so i see what they are telling i us is happening is that they are attacking everything that has to do with racial equity and gender equity in this country. and th

from the harvard kennedy school to be able to lay the case out. houthis are attacking american soldiers, they are attacking commercial shipping. they are putting american lives at risk. and our response has been to fight not with just one hand behind our back but both hands behind our back. we have been colding them and saying pretty please and guess what? they don't respond to pretty please. they respond to shows of force. what we need to do is establish deterrence. we need to sandy clear message, not by words but by deeds that we control the escalation ladder. that any attempt by the houthis or their patrons in tehran to threaten us, to threaten our people and commercial shipping is going to be met with an overwhelming response. it's reagan doctrine it's peace through strength. that's how we make sure we don't get sucked into a war. in the enemies of the united states think that we're weak, that's when our chance of getting sucked into war is at its greatest. >> laura: well, there is no warning coming from the white house tonight. i mean, there

accepted into the harvard kennedy school, she's well on her way to her advanced degree in this prestigious university. and now, miss america. all of that is impressive, for sure, but one of the most redeeming qualities of this young lady is her passion for finding a cure for pancreatic cancer. a cause she's taken up due to the untimely death of her mother,hi 41. that led to the founding of the whitney marsh foundation, purposed in raising awareness and funding for pancreatic cancer researc this new platform will give rise to an increased awareness of this dreadful disease and lieutenant marsh is the perfect spokespeon. i've had the privilege of being associated with three miss americas. elizabeth ward from my hometown of russellville, arkansas, in 1982. sabby shields, miss america, 2016, from faithville, arkansas, -- fayetteville, arkansas, and now the reigning miss america. what an honor to have played a small role in this young lady's success. so i join her family, her father, mike, sisters, heidi and sara, brothers, nick and chris, and her extended family in congratulating madison marsh
