sally coren both of m.i.t. is still at her post.ght another day at harvard, that is, this until christopher rufo dispatched the next prong in his plan. put a pin in that. i want to point out the irony of elise stefanik's political theater during that hearing. stefanik is an ardent supporter of donald trump, a man with a long history of using antisemitic tropes. he invited the antisemite kanye west and the holocaust denier nick fuentes to dine with him. he said that, among the protesters, you chanted jews will not replace us through charlottesville. there were some, quote, very fine people. he has been echoing hitler in his campaign speeches. no matter how many times you say the word antisemitism, you are the company you keep. okay, let's go back to christopher rufo. with the help of two conservative reporters, christopher burnett and anthony submarine, he started floating accusations that she plagiarized academic work. those went from rufo's blog to the pages of conservative publications to mainstream publications like the new york

she plagiarized parts of her doctoral dissertation in m.i.t..rsday she apologized and admitted making mistakes. there was no plagiarism panel set up that would evaluate president gay before she was alternately, i guess you could say, pushed out with a lot of pressure from these major donors like bill ackman. your response before we move into your book on corporate executives who did it right? >> what has been revealed is the big donor to these universities, especially private universities like harvard, yale, princeton, heaven exercising their influence for many years over the curriculum -- it is not surprising harvard law school for decades, never had a course on corporate law -- corporate crime, rather. these large donors have been revealed to have enormous power over the board of overseers over harvard university. that is the next investigation for a new student newspapers like the harvard crimson. the stuff of plagiarism, it can be serious but not in this case given the review of the president's past writings. the big issue, the slaughter, th

what >> we did not have, though -- we did not have at m.i.t.'ople are asking for the resignation of that president, we have not had to return to the question of whether the president was qualified to be president at all. and that's the question, when we get to claudine gay -- why is it that, once again, we have an african american woman in a position of leadership, when people are upset about something she did substantively, which they have a right to be upset about the testimony, but the attack on her that ultimately does her in is the one about her qualifications, which need to be taken down. should she even have the job to start with? and i said before, i worked for the vice president, i have seen how -- come after kamala harris, not just because of her substance or positions on issues, but they try to take after her because -- maybe she just shouldn't be. there she's not really qualified. they go after her competency. and look, she was district attorney, she was a.g. for the largest doj outside of the federal doj, california. she's got other

and some conservatives on capitol hill say they will now start looking at m.i.t.'s president who was also at that congressional hearing, as well as leadership and faculty at other universities that they consider too woke, and some african american leaders now saying all of this has the stink of racial bias in the way this was handled at harvard, and say that they will begin protesting some of those donors who targeted claudine gay. back to you. >>> still to come, u.s. house republicans set to visit the u.s. border with mexico as the senate tries to reach a compromise on a border security bill. details just ahead. >>> welcome back, everyone. the biden administration is turning to the u.s. supreme court in its latest dispute with texas over border policy. the state installed razor wire along the banks of the rio grande at the border with mexico, and the federal government now wants the high court to allow the border patrol to remove it. the matter has been tied up in lower courts since last year. texas argues that cutting the wire amounts to illegally destroying its

ackman is now targeting sally cornblue at m.i.t.o stop it seems to me until there are no more women, no more people of color, no more people that these men view as unacceptable because they are too modern in their demographics to be in the leadership in any way in academia. do you agree? >> i think that's part of it. but i do want to throw a little bit of caution on this point because i think that ackman and others are smart enough to recruit some women of color to stand in as the evidence that this is not about race but about qualifications. let's not forget that herschel walker was positioned as the senatorial candidate for the republican party. and while that is a laughing matter, it isn't a laughing matter. it shows you how nakedly they will put black people as ventriloquist for fascist ideas in front of the american public as if we're dumb enough to believe that herschel walker was fit for office, which he was not. so we have to be mindful that some people of color are going to be positioned to stand in in the next round of wha

to my right, philip morrison is professor of physics at m.i.t., and 13 years ago he was a co-author of what is perhaps the first scientifically valid or reasonable paper ever published on what might well be a possible mode of communication with extraterrestrial life. doctor morrison is considered among scholarly circles as being perhaps one of those robbing knowledgeable scientists in the country. and on the far side is dr. george wall, , professor of biology at harvard and recipient of the nobel prize. now i would like to turn to the symposium proper into the floor to carl sagan. ew brief remarks on this. i came upon a comment by thomas carlyle somewhat crusty old fellow on thinking about the stars and a sad spectacle if they be inhabited. what is scope for misery and folly? if they be not inhabited? what a waste space. there was a little more than a year ago in the armenian soviet socialist republic. in fact, at the foot of mt. ararat on which noah's ark is said to be reached. a symposium sponsored jointly by the national academy of sciences and the united states and the soviet acade

he was the president of m.i.t., tufts, an then harvard. and he retired of his own choice. my question would be, how much of this is political influence driven by political pressures on the u.s. environment to cause a woman who essentially just got there and why was she appointed if these deficiencies were identified or is this someone manufactured and patched together so they could displace her? i'm not sure what is driving this or why she was allowed to proceed through the process of selecting her and within a tter of months, she has been dismissed. who was the committee that qualified her and why was this politically driven why she has been released so fast before she has a chance to play along? host: she was the first black president and blk female president of harvard. lo in youngswn, ohio. good morning you were next. caller: good morning john. first and foremost, ms. stefanik should be the one resigning. this hearing should never have taken place. if i was the three women sitting up there i wld've told them, i want to see the evidence and where was anyone calling for

after she along with the presidents of upenn and m.i.t.wer that was widely considered to legal and the december 5th congressional hearing about antisemitism on campus. >> so, the answer is yes, that calling for the genocide of jews violates harvard cota conduct, correct? >> again, it depends on the contacts. >> reporter: fallout from the hearing also resulted in the resignation of upenn's president liz skill. house republican caucus leader liz stefanik wasting no time responding to today's events. >> as a harvard graduate myself, we have seen a failure of leadership from claudine gay, a failure of moral leadership. this accountability would not have happened were enough for that congressional hearing. >> reporter: stefanik underscoring that her investigation will continue. >> only when it comes to antisemitic hate speech, that the school tolerates it and gives this lawyer equivocal answers, and i think this is the bigger issue that we try to deal with. >> reporter: gay's tenure as president was the shortest hearts in the 400 year history.

congresswoman elise stefanik questioning of the president's of harvard, m.i.t.en was seen 1 billion times and it shocked many people. the political climate right now is right forma us to do much mo. number two, beefed up law enforcement on federal, state and local levels. anti-semites especially those who engage in violence or intimidation must be caught, must be punished and ultimately the movement must be deterred. right now it is open season on jews. there are no real consequences to the worst of sin by -- behavior. has to change. number three, create consequences to elite students who support hamas. if they lackts the judgment and the character to condemn hamas, they are unfit to be employees of serious organizations. and finally, encourage everyone to read the bible. the bible still sells more than 2000 copies every hour and it presents the best blueprint for a moral and meaningful life, as well as the ultimate basis for a jewish state of israel. thank you foror listening. may god bless you. may godte bless america. may god bless israel.

[laughter] mr. nelson: you today, they ca't along? the two of us get along. [applause] kay would be chairman and then i would be chairman depending on whose party was in the majority. first that landmark bill she'd mentioned in sent nasa in the direction it's on now. coming into the first year of the obama administration, it was chaos. they were way over budget and way behind on time going back to the moon on a program called ares. it was canceled outright by the obama administration. what we did is try to create a dual track

her answers were pretty similar to the leaders of m.i.t. and the university of pennsylvania. perhaps the last straw has been questions around claudine gay's academic career, her academic writings. there have been charges of plagiarism. she has been forced to issue corrections to multiple writings. that has raised questions about whether or not there is a double standard at harvard. all of this has done some damage to the harvard brand which i mentioned is one of the most prestigious in american universities. after all of that, claudine gay has decided that she is stepping down. the leaders of harvard have decided that they're going to accept the resignation. >> all right, matt egan, thank you so much. joining us now is harvard a student and hillel president jacob miller. thank you for being with us. last time we spoke, bush was just days after claudine gay's hill testimony, you do not think it was necessary that she should resign. a lot has developed since then. what is your reaction to this news? >> thank you for having me. i was very surprised by the news. we didn't see thi

>> there was -- at penn -- there was -- there is an attention on the m.i.t.ve been calls for reform in all kinds of places. maybe cornell dealt with their episode better than however did. but listen, harvard has a huge spotlight on it. there is no question about it. and then by default sorted claudine game. gay. >> -- we have not had people turn to the question of whether or not the president was was qualified to be president at all. and that is the question, when we get to claudine gay, why is it that, once again, we have an african american woman in positions of leadership when people are upset about something she did, substantial substantively, when people have a right to be upset about, but the attack that does korean is the one about her qualifications. should she even have the job to start with? i've said this before, i work for the vice president. i have seen how people come after kamala harris. not just because of her substance or positions on issues, but they try to take after her because they say that maybe shouldn't be there. she's not really quali

came down to a precious few minutes where claudine gay and the leaders of university pennsylvania and m.i.t. struggled to answer a question that a lot of people thought would be simple to answer. it's calling for the genocide of jews against the school's code of conduct and they all fumbled the response. then on top of, that you layered the plagiarism allegations where claudine has had to issue corrections of multiple corrections. we should note that claudine gay has not been accused of stealing anyone's ideas in any of her writings. she has been accused more like copying other peoples writings without attribution. so it's more sloppy writing than stealing ideas, but you put that together and had the political pressure? the last two days, we've heard from another powerful donor threatening, actually promising to hold off donations to the school. so when you add all of that up, it seems as though it's been more than claudine gay's presidency could survive. this is a tough moment for one of the most prestigious universities in america. its brand has clearly taken a very big hit in just the pa

the house have already announced their intention to widen this investigation beyond harvard, beyond m.i.t beyond the university of pennsylvania, to other universities. and they're doing this because they perceive universities as idealogical enemies. and that's something that we should all be very wary of, not just democrats, not just people in colleges, but everybody. because when universities come under partisan attack, that's something that can be damaging not just for the universities, but for democracy. >> critics like you say that the downfall of harvard's president had nothing to do with claudine gay. in fact, claudine gay echoed this perspective in her "new york times" opinion piece this week, and she said, in part, quote, the campaign against me was about more than one university and one leader. this was merely a single skirmish in a broader war to unravel public faith in pillars of american society. college campuses in our country must remain places where students can learn, share and grow together, not spaces where proxy battles and political grandstanding take root. you know, t

pennsylvania president elizabeth magill also resigned just days after the two appeared along with m.i.tpresident sally kornbluth at a congressional hearing led by republican congressmember elise stefanik. this is at least a phonic questioning president gay. >> it is a yes or no question. you are president of harvard so i assume you are familiar with the term "intifada," correct? >> i have heard that term, yes. >> and you understand that the use of the term "intifada" in the context of the israeli-arab conflict is indeed a call for violent armed resistance against the state of israel, including violence against civilians and the genocide of jews. are you aware of that? >> that type of hateful speech is personally abhorrent to me. >> well, let me ask you this. will admissions offers be rescinded or any disciplinary action be taken against students or applicants who say "from the river to the sea" or "intifada," advocating for the murder of jews. >> as i have said, that type of hateful, reckless, offensive speech is personally abhorrent to me. amy: that was last month. on tuesday, congress

gay along with the presidents of m.i.t. and upenn gave an answer that was widely considered too legal and completely tone deaf. >> the answer is yes, calling for the genocide of jews violates harvard code of conduct, correct. >> again, it depends on the context. >> reporter: fallout from the hearing resulted in the resignation of the upenn president. the house republican caucus leader wasting no time responding to today's events. >> as a harvard graduate myself, we have seen a failure of leadership from claudine gay, a failure of more leadership. this accountability would not have happened were it not for that congressional hearing. >> reporter: stefanik underscoring her investigation will continue. gay's tenure as president was the shortest in harvard's nearly 400-year history. she was the school's first black president and only the second woman at the helm. in larry to the harvard community, she wrote that her exit came with a heavy heart. it has become clear that it is in the best interests of harvard to resign so they c

. >>> there is a reason that the testimony of the presidents of harvard, person, and m.i.t.y as the most viewed testimony ever with over 1 million views. >> republican congresswoman elise stefanik was celebrating the resignation of claudine gay. it comes a month after stefanik pressed the presidents of the university of pennsylvania, the massachusetts institute of technology, and harvard about anti-semitism on their campuses in the wake of the october 7th terrorist attacks on israel. stefaniking to issues with the leader's lawyerly answers to the question, does calling for the genocide of jews violate your views on bullying and harassment. stefanik called for all three university presidents to be ousted. when liz mcgill resigned from that school's board stefanik celebrated. she celebrated today, quote, i'll always deliver results. this is just the beginning what will be the greatest scandal of any college or university in history. joining me now is a harvard university professor in studies of women, gender, and sexuality and in african american studies. professor perry, it's

now the focus is on m.i.t. and you have bill ackman sing the rest of the harvard board needs to go. this may be the end, but we will have to see. katie: that is what i wanted to talk about, bill ackman's involvement with harvard. he said a new board should be chosen in a transparent process. we need intellectually and politically diverse members of our country. it seems like bill ackman is not done with harvard. sridhar: we had a good interview with a former chair of the u penn board. he was talking about this idea that campuses have faced issues in the past, but for decades, centuries, governance on college campuses has worked. he does not mean you go out there and reinvent the wheel. yes, bill ackman and other significant donors would push for change, but at some point, they will have to figure out you keep pushing for change or acknowledge that the stakes were made and there have been consequences and find a way to move forward? guy: we will wrap it up there. thank you. he joins us on what has been happening on college campuses. let's figure out exactly where we are. stoxx 600, 4

m.i.t. guy, and all that. then i will come back, and talk about some injected new use. looking at and equals 529,000 data points. over t equals 24 months. as you said in the intro they are 10% higher probability of a patient on a gop one. higher intensity. absolute percentage points. higher to start. then the skeptics will say oh, yeah. but, they're going to quit in 12 months or 24 minutes. no. the data shows the exact opposite at 12 months. there is 300 basis points. 3% higher. not only adherence rate. but, resupply rate. not just time on the therapy, and i'm buying a new mask, and accessories. and they will say oh, no. i get worse over time. no. in two years it goes over a 500 point space is delta. 5% higher resupply rate on a gop one. so, we were all wrong. six months ago some of the street was bidding against us. 40% on as you said in the start. look, i think it's mutual. we were both wrong. it's actually upside. 10% higher start rate. it's going to take a while for these glp-1's to generate. but, i think the combination therapy for these two is right. university of

. >> they're going to go after the m.i.t.sident now i guess. >> i think that's fair. >> appreciate it. >>> coming up, were you toasting in the new year with a glass of champagne or a glass of germs? probably both. what doctors are seeing across the country. >>> first up, what governor abbott did to get around an order in new york city to limit migrant buses and what immigration in blue states will mean for elections this year. immigration in blue states will mean for elections this year >>> immigration is set to be one of the defining issues of 2024. in the last month, border officials say more than 300,000 migrants crossed the southern border. an all time record. before sunrise today, some of those got off a bus in new jersey, sent there by texas governor abbott. outside of chicago, a plane carrying 455 others arrived on sunday, also from texas. joining us now, antonia hilton outside new york's roosevelt hotel. an intake center in new york city. and mary ann ahearn from wmaq in chicago. part of this is part of the governor's

mitch albom in his presentation hour in this room referenced something that happened at m.i.t. suppose weirdly, i don't know if i'd never heard this. i know if it's accurate. and that is that after this, after october 7th, some jewish students were not allowed some classes. and he said he couldn't think of any other subgroup of whom something like that could occur without objection. what i wanted get sorry a long question is any reflections on the persistence and apparent attractiveness of antisemitism. oh well i honestly know it's a huge and just parroting question. obviously it's rather it goes back to what i was saying just apropos of a completely subject of understanding of biology, you know, the confound thing thing about human civilization is that it is civilization and it also made space for the, you know, resurrection of the most monstrous and atrocious lies and myths and demons really. you know what, elon musk and his and tucker carlson are doing when they talk the replacement theory, which is the idea that -- are conspiratorial responsible for the invasion of america

referring to the of course the m.i.t. president who has not resigned since the hearing. this comes after the dual controversy of these comments after the hearing as well and allegations of plagiarism seems to have done in harvard's president. another quote, it has become clear it is in the best interest of harvard for me to resign so our community can navigate this moment of extraordinary challenge with a focus on the institution rather than any individual. that's me quoting gay in her resignation letter that nbc news has obtained. broadly speaking, republicans see these ivy league institutions, elite colleges, as an ideal foil for them to try to press their message politically speaking. >> so in such charming rhetoric there dancing on somebody's grave. she's not leaving the campus. she's remaining as professor of government as well as african-american studies. thank you for that. >>> right now, we are waiting to see when former president trump will carry through on his promise to appeal the decision to keep him off the ballot in maine. one of those people joins me in 60
