ross stevens, who has a center named after him at the wharton business school, threatening to pull 100on unless liz magill steps down. we do know the board of trustees is scheduled to meet tomorrow, sometimes around 5:00, you have a discussion whether or not liz magill will have a job. if all of this comes as we now know, congressman elise toughened issued a letter with 70 of her house members, a partisan love to all three heads of universities, calling for their immediate dismissal. so, what's been the response from mcgill? she posted a video on social media earlier this week, saying basically that short answer should have been a bit more clear as it related to those responses to genocide from that five hour grilling on capitol hill. listen. >> the call for genocide of jewish people is a call for some of the most terrible violence human beings can perpetrate. it is evil. plain and simple. >> as you mentioned, yasmin, dr. claudine gay, the president of harvard university, issuing a formal apology in the crimson, their paper, saying she was simply taken aback by t

liz: former -- >> donated $50 million to wharton, their business school. his name pops up then. zeke emanuel. liz: >> the doctor, pretty famous. these are the names we hear. when this will happen who knows? one of the things ackman, bill ackman who is now turning hills attention to unseat the president of harvard for the same reasons, claudine gay, in order to pick a university president it is not just based on you know, what did they publish? were they great academic -- liz: equity and inclusion. >> you have to check a lot of boxes here. it, of itself, if you -- you limit the amount of people that you can get for this job. now, the question is, will penn, will hear sadder, if claudine gay gets bounced and a lot of people think she's next, although a lot, there was a petition with 500 faculty members supporting her, from harvard although, you know, let's face it, did you expect anything less? they're about as woke as she is. so right now we're at the point where do they use dei to fill these slots? i mean i don't know? it is an interesting time right now.

and then a board, the board at wharton business school, part of u-penn, saying liz magill has to go. will they resign, fired, not suffer any consequences, i don't know. >> gillian: or standing over the resistance of the american public. >> john: it was such a simple question to answer but the fact they could not answer it and the ensuing days tried to walk it back with statements on twitter and other forums, but -- wow. >> gillian: and nothing that happens -- very little that happens at a public hearing like that is unchoreographed. there are people behind the scenes, congressional liaisons who briefed the presidents how to answer these questions. somebody thought that was the way to go, and it was more than, i guarantee you, it was more than just the presidents. >> john: i hope they didn't pay them a whole lot, they may end up losing their jobs as a result. attacks ramping up against americans in the middle east. why the latest attack at the u.s. embassy in baghdad may be raising alarms at the pentagon. >> gillian: and southern border, very little effect here on washington policy ma

hill university of pennsylvania president liz mcgill has been asked to step down by the board of the whartongger threat to be removed as the university's board is reportedly set to hold an emergency meeting on sunday. this comes after one major donor said he would resend is $100 million donation if mcgill is not removed. mcgill has since tried to walk back her commence, both with no luck. harvard president claudine gates is also doing damage control. she told the school's paper, i am sorry. words matter. when words amplify distress and pain, i don't know how you can feel anything but regret. but we know why the presidents could not condemn the genocide of jews. it's because they see the world through the lens of a pressure and oppressed. they care more about who is calling for genocide rather than who is being threatened with eradication. there is a total pole of victimhood and they believe that intersectionality determines who gets to spew hate speech. i bet every university head would have jumped out of their seat racing to be the first one to condemn calls to kill all black students or al

the wharton school of finance, they did not have a subject on you get indicted.something you think about. my mother and father are looking down. don't forget. al capone was the toughest, meanest guy. if you had inner with him, and if you smiled the wrong way, where he thought maybe you were smiling about him or mocking him, you were dead. you are a dead person. scarface, ever hear of him, al capone? that was where the movie came from. he had a scar from here to here, and he did not get that -- he got indicted one time and i got indicted four times for nothing. one of the reasons our polls are so high, i think 40% higher than they might have been, one reason is because people get it they don't like to see it. they recognize the justice department against republicans, against churches, against -- against parents. i mean, against parents, in favor of school boards that are run horribly. so i think what they did was a big mistake. i know they had two other options, and they said, don't do it again, don't do it again. they will indict him into the white house. do it a

big money involved here from alum, and a major donor threatening to pull $100 million here from the whartonusiness, saying quote, absent a change of leadership and values in penn in the very near future i plan to rescind to prevent any further reputational and other damage. no official response from penn. as you were hearing a second ago, there have been protests on campus outside of the president's office calling for her resignation. >> i think that she should take responsibility for her own words. i think that in the past two months, she hasn't been leading by a good example. >> she should take responsibility. silence, and not being active and proactive triggers more violence, so this is something that definitely she needs to change. >> reporter: that pressure certainly mounting. i've talked to students on campus. they say the university is sending a flood of e-mails. a lot of students are in the midst of finals. they haven't seen anything addressing, besides the video, of some of her comments and the grilling on capitol hill. many wondering how this will play out in the next couple of da
