again, i just want to be really, really clear, you don't have to agree with nikole.e united states directing an executive order towards a journalistic project, you should be afraid. it could be easily be me. any of us could be next, when you see the state moving to ban those. >> that was former president trump you were speaking of. but i want to go back to nikole hannah-jones at the time unc called her one of the voices leading in journalism at the top of her field. her cr her credentials are impeccable. they've not tdeny tenured this t what's happening here. >> nikole went through the steps this was brought before the board of trustees and they just declined to vote on it. i don't know how that's better. i do want to say, this morning, we have a letter we're delivering to unc, and the signees give broad support. we have everybody from chris paul to cornell west to amy sher sherald. >> this is a letter going live on troot, it looks like hundred of signatures. line that strikes me is few single works have been threatened with more restrictions than "the 1619 project."

nikole killion, thank you. all right, tonight a mother and son from mexico are back together for the first time since they were separated at the border by the trump administration nearly four years ago. cbs' lilia luciano has the emotional reunion. >> reporter: today feels like a dream to 18-year-old bryan chavez. outside the port of entry in san ysidro, california, he anxiously waits for his mother, sandra, who is crossing from mexico. the two haven't seen each other since being separated at the at0 border in 2017, part of the trump administration's zero tolerance policy. seeking a safe haven from mexican cartels, bryan, 15 at the time, was placed in a refugee shelter while his mother was deported. ( crying ) finally tonight, a family ripped apart is reunited. and mother and son hold each other tight. other tight. >> there's clearly no words to describe the happiness that i'm feeling right now, ask i'm really grateful with all the people that did this amazing work to allow my mom to come them. eir pants.or fre

, on them, to not give nikole tenure.l, the thing that you have to understand, ali, is somebody who has long written about race in my career, to talk about race, to tell the truth about race in this country is to be up against these kinds of forces. and that's whether that is coming from the president of the united states, from members of congress, from the general public or, in this case, from a university system. and so, you know, there are certain truths about this country, especially truths that bump up against the myths that we hold so dear as part of our origin story that too many people still, you know, would just rather not hear. with nikole really trying to square this country's history with its ideals and themes as a democracy trying to become a more perfect union, the backlash continues. and this is really just the latest chapter in that backlash and unfortunately, while there are may be people who have hailed the 1619 project for its honesty, there are too many who would just as soon rather not hear the truth.

those who complain about cancel culture are trying to cancel nikole hannah-jones. unc should not fall for it. they cannot punish people for offering views for which they disagree or don't understand. free speech is not just free speech for those who validate your world view. just this week plent of good people have taken exception to things i have written and said on this show about the israeli government and palestinians. people disagree with me all the time. i'm not only okay with it, i encourage it. that's the world in which we live. you have your point of view, i have mine. let's talk about it. muting the voice of your opposition is not victory, debate is. college is where debate is supposed to thrive. academia provides the space for healthy discussion. it is the point of university. it is definitely the point of journalism. unc has done little to explain its reasoning behind denying hannah jones tenure. one of the trustees said as trustees we take our responsibility of approving tenure. we are talking about a lifetime position here. we do not enter it quickly.

take us through, professor, the process of determining tenure and why you believe nikole hannah-jonesing. thanks for having me. let me just say we were stunned by this decision. nikole hannah-jones has an outstanding record of 20 years in journalism, pulitzer, pea body y mccarthy award. and your viewers don't know the rigorous review a candidate goes through, external experts review the candidate's dossier, it's months in the making of going through several committees, and for her outstanding record to go through and get approved at all levels and then for the university to not grant tenure is just stunning to snus why do you think it happened? >> we have not been provided an explanation. we want transparency and accountability and we want the university to give her the position that was planned for, which is a tenured appointment in our school. our faculty unanimously voted to bring her here. our dean, susan king, worked very hard to make this happen. we were all delighted and flattered to have her join our faculty in this tenured position. and, again, we're just stunned that the uni

cbs' nikole killion reports from the capitol. >> reporter: tonight a g.o.p. aide told cbs news they are 100% confident liz cheney will be removed from leadership, house minority leader kevin mccarthy circulated this letter telling members to prepare for a wednesday vote. it is clear that we need to make a change, he wrote. cheney is being purged from the party's top ranks for repeatedly denouncing former president trump's big lie about the election and his role in the capitol riot, writing recently in an op ed, history is watching us. her likely replacement, new york's elise stefanik has done the opposite. backing the president baseless claims. >> liz is being chased out. >> reporter: today, republican adam kinsinger said his party leadership was making a grave mistake. >> what she is making being removed for, is making them uncomfortable and being consistent, and god bless her for having the consistency to tell the truth. >> reporter: only a few republicans have defended cheney, the episode making it clear how strong former president trump's grip on the part

i had nikole on my podcast on undistracted and i asked her this question, why are folks so obsessed withth? unfortunately, a lot of those attorneys general and the biggest critics of this work haven't engaged with the work or read it, but a lot of them want us to ignore the fact that as brian stephenson says all of the time, slavery in this country did not end. it evolved and if things like the 1619 project and critical race theory are allowed to take their rightful place in academia and education, they know that what will happen is that marginalized people in this country, black people in particular will take our rightful place. we will take ownership of this country that we helped build. we will require that this government fully recognizes that its capitalism was built because enslaved africans were its first capital. and so demands like equitable policy, like reparation and like leadership that doesn't just reflect our color and it reflects our values we will stop at nothing to get those things when we know the truth and that is not a truth or future that they're invested in because

[laughs] but look at, the cognitive dissonance that is happening is what's coming from the voters. right? the voters here, there is a group of voters that are in on the joke. they're in on the game. so when they are answering these polls, they're just saying whatever it is that they think is going to make people like you, obsess. frankly, brian. they maybe don't believe everything. but they do know what they are supposed to say when it sick comes to what happens with the election and all the other polls. on the other hand, there are another group of voters that are fully in on the cold and have convinced themselves, no matter what kind of informati

nikole hannah-jones won a pulitzer prize for a commentary for the 1619 project.nius grant and earned a masters degree from the university in 2003. last month, unc announced that hannah-jones would occupy the journalism school's night chair in race and investigative journalism, beginning in july. the two previous holders of the chair were tenured professors, and it was expected hannah-jones would be granted tenure as well. but the university board of trustees has denied it, even though tenure was recommended by the school of journalism. instead, it's offering her a five-year contract with an option for review down the line. it's important to note the board of trustees is controlled by north carolina's state legislature, which in turn is controlled by republicans, and many are unhappy with the 1619 project. dozens of faculty members of the journalism school posting an online statement saying they're stunned at the board's decision. the journalism school's dean says that while she is disappointed at the failure to grant tenure, she has no doubt hannah-jones will be

they were going to offer nikole hannah-jones, author of the 1619 project, a tenured position before sherivilege, and this is liberal privilege on display. but instead of going through the 7-8 year process, they were going to fast track her and essentially give her a lifetime position where she's immune from accountability and criticism. now, the board of trustees stepped in and said taxpayers are not going to stand for this. she has every right to use her voice on campus, and she's actually going to be teaching there for five years, but to send her for the front of -- to the front of the line for tenure would have been a tremendous misten. david: right. and, by the way, historians on both the left and the right have said a lot of whats' in 1619 is just historically inaccurate. i mean, you get an award like tenure, a lifetime tenure for coming out with something that historians say is wrong? it just doesn't make any sense. i'm glad there was pushback. angela, thank you so much for being here. appreciate it. >>> so is it a border shell game or a move in the right direction? migrant kids a

nikole, could you just give us a little more about who we think did this, when and why?that they came into a company called constant contact. some people have heard of it if you haven't heard of it it is a competitor of mail chimp. they got into their software to send these emails that appeared to come from usaid, to institutions like the atlantic council, eu decision for grew, both have been very active about calling out russian disinformation and campaigns in some of the pre-election interference that we were seeing. in this case it looks like this is the espy are really going after groups that have been critical of russia, or in some way shape or form, have triggered the higher vladimir putin. >> to me what is striking about the story is that at some level, i suppose, i expect that russian intelligence hackers are trying to get the u.s. government did not expect that we have our own doing the same thing. that seems like, i don't know much about this, but i think that is a fair assumption. but using the fact that they've penetrated the american computers to bank shot i
