1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Harvard's president is out. That's right, the shortest tenure in

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: history of Harvard. President Gay has resigned after rocky testimony

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: and plagiarism allegations. Now, I want you to understand this

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: scandal adequately, so you understand that this is not justice

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: at all for what really should have gotten her in trouble.

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: And that was what she said before Congress when she

7
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: was testifying about anti semitism on campus and refusing to

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: denounce those that were calling for genocide of the Jewish

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: people on her campus. The Harvard president did not get

10
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: fired for that.

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: In fact, the.

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: University rallied behind her, the alumni rallied behind her, other

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: professors rallied behind her. The anti Semitism was acceptable at

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: Harvard and in the academic world extended. Now there was

15
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: another reason why she also wasn't fired compared to the

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: University of Penn president, who did the same exact thing,

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: said the same thing when she was testifying before Congress.

18
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: The difference was Harvard President Gay is a woman who

19
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: is a minority. She's black, and that is part of

20
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: the reason why she didn't have to worry about losing

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: her job for being anti Semitic. Is because she is

22
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: black and protected in two categories.

23
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: She's a woke progressive and.

24
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: A bigot as well as an anti semite, a racist,

25
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: all of the above. And yet because she has the

26
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: right color of skin and she is a woman and

27
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: a hardcore lefty, she can say and do whatever she

28
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: wants without having to worry about any repercussions. Now, there

29
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: are some that are trying to report her firing now

30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: is related to that testimony. I want to make it

31
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: clear it is not. She was not fired for her testimony.

32
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: She was protected by the university for her being an

33
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: anti semi. What got her in trouble was allegations, and

34
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: they kept mounting more and more allegations of straight up

35
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: plagiarism for her academic work since she gave that testimony

36
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: before Congress. Now, in a letter to the Harvard community,

37
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: gay centered, decision to set down had been quote difficult

38
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: beyond words. Try being a Jewish student on campus with

39
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: you as the president. It would be actually difficult beyond words,

40
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: she said, quote. After consultation with members of the corporation,

41
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: it has become clear that it is in the best

42
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: interest of Harvard for me to resign so that our

43
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: community can navigate this moment of extraordinary challenge with a

44
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: focus on the institution rather than an individual. Again, Harvard,

45
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: the corporation, the university's eleven member governing body, set in

46
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: an email to the community that its members had accepted

47
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: Gay's resignation quote with sorrow, so they weren't really trying

48
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: to push her out.

49
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: It was just the fact that how.

50
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: Does Harvard say they're a IVY League university if their

51
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: president has been caught plagiarizing cheating multiple times. Now, the

52
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: former University of Pennsylvania president Liz McGill, and the MIT president,

53
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: they all were together when they testified before the US

54
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: House of Representatives Committee on December fifth about a rise

55
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: in anti Semitism on college campuses following the outbreak of

56
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: the Israeli Hamas War in October. The trio declined to

57
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: give a defensive yes or no answer to Republican Representative

58
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: Stephoni's question as to whether calling for the genocide of

59
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: Jews would violate their school's code of conduct regarding bullying

60
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: and harassment, saying they had to balance it against free

61
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: speech protections. Now, one of those three presidents actually got fired,

62
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: and the only reason to be clear why the University

63
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: of pen president got fired or stepped down. Let's be clear,

64
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: she actually didn't get fired either. She's still a tenured

65
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: law professor, still teaching anti Semitic law right at the

66
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: University of penn She didn't lose her paycheck, She didn't

67
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: lose anything except for a title. She is still very

68
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: much protected by the University of Pennsylvania. Liz is still there,

69
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: still indoctrinating minds of students to hate Jewish people. Now,

70
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: she did step down from being the president only because

71
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: there were so much money, hundreds of millions that were

72
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: being pulled if she was not taken out of the

73
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: position of being the president. Moved to Harvard. Harvard and

74
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: there was many people at Harvard that said, we're going

75
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: to pull our money. There were some law firms that

76
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: said they would stop recruiting law students from the University

77
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: of Harvard Law School, and they continued to be defiant.

78
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: It is not the anti Semite aspect of this. It

79
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: is only the fact that they're like, all right, how

80
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: do we at Harvard hold students to account when they cheat?

81
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: If the president of Harvard has been caught multiple times cheating,

82
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: and it wasn't even by the way once right, there

83
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: was first there was her dissertation that they caught, and

84
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: then it got worse and worse and worse. It looks

85
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: like she basically cheated on every major paper or accomplishment

86
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: that she had in her academic record that people could find.

87
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 1: Now I'm going to tell you more about that, because

88
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: there's also another aspect of this. The mainstream media did

89
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: not do the reporting that brought her down. It was

90
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: actually the Free Beacon and others conservatives that did the

91
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: digging on her dissertation of the things to find out

92
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: that she was a cheater and just made it up

93
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: as she went. But let me also remind you of

94
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: what Harvard protected. This is what she said to Representative

95
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: Stephanic at that hearing, and the Harvard present shamefully refusing

96
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: with arrogance to say whether calling for the mass violence

97
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: and genocide of the Jewish people is considered harassment or

98
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: bullying on campus. And she did not get fired for this,

99
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: And that is the point that everybody needs to understand.

100
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: Listen, doctor Gay.

101
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 3: A Harvard student calling for the mass murder of African

102
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: Americans is not protected free speech at Harvard.

103
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: Correct Our commitment to It's a yes or no question.

104
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: Is that corrected?

105
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: Is that okay for students to call for the mass

106
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: murder of African Americans at Harvard?

107
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 4: Is that protected free speech? Our commitment to free school?

108
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 4: It's a yes or no question. Let me ask you this.

109
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 3: You are president of Harvard, so I assume you're familiar

110
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: with the term into fata.

111
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 4: Correct. I've heard that term, yes.

112
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: And you understand that the use of the term into

113
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: fada in the context of the Israeli Arab conflict is

114
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 3: indeed a call for violent arm resistance against the state

115
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: of including violence against civilians and the genocide of Jews.

116
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 4: Are you aware of.

117
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 5: That that type of hateful speech is personally abhorrent to me?

118
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: And there have been multiple marches at Harvard with students chanting,

119
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: quote there is only one solution into fada, revolution and

120
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: quote globalize the intofada.

121
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 4: Is that correct?

122
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 5: I've heard that thoughtless, reckless and hateful language on our campus.

123
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: Yes, So, based upon your testimony, you understand that this

124
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: call for intefada is to commit genocide against the Jewish

125
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: people in Israel and globally.

126
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 4: Correct.

127
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 5: I will say again that type of hateful speech is

128
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 5: personally abhorrent to me?

129
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 3: Do you believe that type of hateful speech is contrary

130
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 3: to Harvard's code of conduct?

131
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: Or is it allowed at Harvard? It is at odds

132
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 4: with the values of Harvard.

133
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: Can you not say here that it is against the

134
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: code of conduct at Harvard?

135
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 5: We embrace a commitment to free expression, even of views

136
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 5: that are objectionable, offensive, hateful. It's when that speech crosses

137
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 5: into conduct that violates our policies against bullying around.

138
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 4: Does that speech not cost that barrier?

139
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: Does that speech not call for the genocide of Jews

140
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: and the elimination of Israel?

141
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 4: When you testify that you.

142
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 3: Understand that is the definition of intofada.

143
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: Let me just pause there. What she just said there

144
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: is not what got her fired. It's the fact that

145
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: she cheated so many times and plagiarize so many times

146
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: to a point where you couldn't defend it, and it

147
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: was going to undermine everything that everybody had ever done

148
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: that was great at Harvard, and it had become a distraction.

149
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: It is not the anti Semitic rhetoric. This president set

150
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: there and smirked, set there in mind. Congress set there

151
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: and made it clear that if you are a student

152
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: at the University of Harvard. You can call for the

153
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: genocide of Jews on campus and anywhere in the world,

154
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: and there will be no repercussions from the University of

155
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: Harvard's perspective. And then she's challenged on it, and keep

156
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: listening because it gets worse.

157
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: She's like, I won't.

158
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: I'm not going to agree to anything that you and

159
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: Congress are trying to tell me to agree to.

160
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 2: You know I can.

161
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: I will defend the students calling for For INTI fought

162
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: a calling for the genocide of Jews. This is what

163
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: Harvard is teaching your kids. This is their leadership.

164
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: Is that speech according to the Code of Conduct or not.

165
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 5: We embrace a commitment to free expression and give a

166
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 5: wide berth to free expression, even of views that are objectionable.

167
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 4: You and I both know that's not the case.

168
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: You are aware that Harvard ranked dead last when it

169
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 3: came to free speech?

170
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 4: Are you not aware of that report?

171
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 5: As I observed earlier, I reject that characterization.

172
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 4: It's the data shows it's true.

173
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 3: And isn't it true that Harvard previously rescinded multiple offers

174
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: of admissions for applicants and accepted freshmen for sharing offensive memes,

175
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: racist statements, sometimes as young as sixteen years old. Did

176
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: Harvard not rescind those offers of admission?

177
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 5: That long predates my time as present.

178
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 3: But you understand that Harvard made that decision to resin

179
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: those offers of admission.

180
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 5: I have no reason to contradict the facts as you

181
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 5: present them.

182
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: Correct, because it's a fact.

183
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: You're also aware that a Winthrop House faculty dean was

184
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 3: let go over who he chose to legally represent.

185
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: Correct, that was while you were dean. That is an

186
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 4: incorrect characterization. Avoid transfer. What's the characterization?

187
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 5: I'm not going to get into details about a personnel matter.

188
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: Well, let me ask you this, Will admissions offers be

189
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: rescinded or any disciplinary action be taken against students or

190
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: applicants who say from the River to the sea or

191
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: into Fada advocating for the murder of Jews?

192
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 5: As I've said, that type of hateful, reckless, offensive speech

193
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 5: is personally abhorrent to me.

194
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: And today that no action will be taken. What action

195
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: will be taken?

196
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 5: When speech crosses into conduct that violates our policies, including

197
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 5: policies against bullying, harassment, or intimidation, we take action and

198
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 5: we have robust disciplinary processes that allow us to hold

199
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,479
Speaker 5: individuals accountable.

200
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 3: What action has been taken against students who are harassing

201
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 3: and calling for the genocide of Jews on Harvard's campus.

202
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 4: I can assure you we have robust what actions have

203
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 4: been taken?

204
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: I'm not askingations underway, I'm asking what actions have been

205
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: taken against and students.

206
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 5: Given students' rights to privacy and our obligations under FURPA,

207
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 5: I will not say more about any specific cases other

208
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 5: than to reiterate that processes are ongoing.

209
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: Processes are ongoing. I'm not going to tell you what

210
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: I've done. So she leaves that meeting, that committee meeting

211
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: on December the fifth, smiling, smirking, and basically saying, I

212
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: don't have.

213
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 2: To answer your questions.

214
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: More than seventy US lawmakers then signed a letter demanding

215
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: that the governing boards of the three universities removed the presence,

216
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: setting dissatisfaction with their testimony. Then fast forward, McGill resigned,

217
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: receiving backlash for her comments at University of Penn Remember,

218
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: she's not protected, right, She's a white woman, so can't

219
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: be protected. Okay, she's a woman, But there was money

220
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: there was people and donors saying, if she keeps her job,

221
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: you lose my fifty million, my twenty million, my one

222
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: hundred million. Harvard, on the other hand, they said, no,

223
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: we're going to stay. We're going to stand by you

224
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: because we back what you're saying, we back what you're doing. Then,

225
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: thank goodness, there were conservatives that move forward and said,

226
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: all right, let's see what else this woman has said

227
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: in her past. Now we know the Harvard president Gay

228
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: has resigned amid a deepening plagiarism scandal that has nothing

229
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: to do with her testimony, which was that, hey, at Harvard,

230
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: you can hate Jewish people and call for them to

231
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: be systemically wiped off the face of the earth with genocide.

232
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:37,119
Speaker 1: She resigned on Tuesday, following this a disastrous congressional testimony. No, instead,

233
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: scores of plagiarism allegations being unearthed in recent weeks. Her

234
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: six month tenure marks the shortest tenure in Harvard's history,

235
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: and her resignation, just six months and two days into

236
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: her presidency, marks her tenure as the president. She will

237
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: go down as the shortest in history. That according to

238
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: report by the Harvard Crimson. Now, let's talk about what

239
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: she is accused of doing that actually got her fired again,

240
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: it is not what you think, which is her anti

241
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: Semitic beliefs, because Harvard has no problem hating Jews. Now,

242
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: these plagiarism allegations surfaced in official academic complaints against the

243
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: Harvard president. These allegations that had been unearthed in an

244
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: official academic complaint against the Harvard president. This came a

245
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: week after more than forty other allegations of plagiarism against

246
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: Gay had been given to the university. Those documents were

247
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Let me read for

248
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: you what the Free Beacon wrote about this again. Harvard's

249
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: Research Integrity Office received the complaint on Tuesday, detailing over

250
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: forty cases of alleged plagiarism. Harvard University receive the complaint

251
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: out lying the forty allegations of plagiarism against the embattled president.

252
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: The documents pan a picture of a pattern of misconduct

253
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: more extensive than had been previously reported, and puts the

254
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: Harvard Corporation, the university's governing body, which said it initiated

255
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: an independent review of Gay's scholarship and issued a statement

256
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: of support for her leadership back in the spotlight. The

257
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: new allegations, which were submitted to Harvard's Research Integrity Officer

258
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: Stacy Springs, include the examples reported by the Washington Free

259
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: Beacon as well as other outlets, as well as as

260
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: dozens of additional cases in which Gay quoted or paraphrase

261
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: authors without proper attribution that according to a copy of

262
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: the complaint reviewed by the Free Beacon, they range from

263
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: missing quotation marks around a few phrases or sentences to

264
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: entire paragraphs lifted verbatim and then passed along as her

265
00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: own words. The full list of examples spanned seven of

266
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: Gay's publications, two more than previously reported, which compromise almost

267
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: half of her scholarly output. Though the Harvard Corporation said

268
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: earlier this month that it initiated a quote independent review

269
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: of Gay's work in October and found, their words, no

270
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: violation of Harvard's standards for research misconduct. That probe focused

271
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: on just three papers. It's impossible that your office is

272
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: already reviewed the entirety of these materials, the complaint reads,

273
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: as many have not been previously reported and or submitted.

274
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: All allegations of faculty plagiarism must be reviewed. By Harvard's

275
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: Research Integrity Officer according to the school's official policies, and

276
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: if deemed credible, are referred for further investigation. A guilty

277
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: funding can result in a range of consequences, including suspension,

278
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: rank reduction, and termination of employment. In determining the appropriate sanction,

279
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: the school claims to consider whether the misconduct was an

280
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: isolate event or.

281
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: A part of a pattern quote unquote.

282
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: Lurking in the background of the new complaint is the

283
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: question of whether gay Harvard's thirtieth present will be held

284
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: to the same standards as the university's own students, dozens

285
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: of whom are disciplined for plagiarism each year. The school

286
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: has typically been softer on faculty accused of academic dishonesty,

287
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: either giving them a symbolic slap on the wrists or

288
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: dismissing the charges altogether. There's a double standard, and now

289
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: it has outraged the students. Back in two thousand and five,

290
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: for example, the Harvard declined to sanction one of its

291
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: star law professors, Larry Tribe, after he playediarize.

292
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 2: Just one author.

293
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: The Harvard Crimson's Editorial Board LAMB blasted the glaring double

294
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: standard and demanded tribe be punished caught plagiarizing, or routinely

295
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: suspended for semesters or even entire academic years for professors

296
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: who plagiarize. However, not even a modification of punishment seems

297
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: to be in play. The Free Beacon independently verified the

298
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: veracity of the new allegations against Gay, as well as

299
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: the identity of the complainant, a professor at another university

300
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: who requested amininity for fear of retaliation. Harvard did not

301
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: respond to requests for comment when they exposed all of this.

302
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: When Gay gave her disastrous testimony to Congress and her

303
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: tone death answers to questions about anti Semitism, including one

304
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: excruciating exchange in which Gay refused to say that calls

305
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: for genocide violated Harvard policy. You have to remember that

306
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: that testimony prompted a quote fake and I call it

307
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: fake because clearly they were just more of like, all right,

308
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: we got to act like we care. They had a

309
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: fake emergency meeting of the Harvard Corporation to quote decide

310
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: Gay's fate. Guess what they stood by her? Right, the

311
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: board deliberated they stood by her, and then they're like

312
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: all right, Well, we don't have a problem with this

313
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: because clearly we're anti Israel at Harvard as well, and

314
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: she's a protected woman who's African American, so we can

315
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: do whatever we want to, and we support Marxists and

316
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: socialists and communists being in positions of power of these universities.

317
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what was on display in front of Congress.

318
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: It only brought to light that Gay had plagiarized, and

319
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm reading now from the article nearly twenty scholars over

320
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: the course of her career. Additional examples were uncovered by

321
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: the Manhattan Institutes, Christopher Ruffo, and the New York Posts. Also,

322
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: Isabelle Vincent exposed even more plagiarism by the President of

323
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: Harvard in its statement.

324
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 2: By the way, voicing support for Gay.

325
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: The Harvard Corporation, which is led by Obama administration Secretary

326
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: of Commerce. It includes the former presidence of Princeton University

327
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: and Amherst College. So if you want to understand who's

328
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: running our universities, these are the people doing it.

329
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: Okay, They did not.

330
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: Clarify who conducted the investigation into quote Gay's research, which

331
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: articles it covered, or whether it adhered to Harvard's policies

332
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: for investigating research misconduct. A spokesman for Gay and the

333
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: Harvard Corporation did not respond to requests for comments either,

334
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: So they were basically like, all right, look, we're going

335
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: to try to cover this up.

336
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens now.

337
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: The statement also admitted that Harvard retained the bulldog litigation

338
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 1: firm clark Lock, which boasts on its website of representing

339
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: those unfairly quote unquote targeted by the media. Claire Locke

340
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: then threatened The New York Post, the outlet that first

341
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: brought the articles to the school's attention, with legal action that,

342
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: according to the Post reporting, successfully suppressing the story for

343
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: nearly two months. Clailock's unfairly targeted clients include Matt Lauer

344
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: and Russian oligarchs such as the one who is under

345
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: US sanctions right now, Olik. Though the initial review cleared

346
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: Gay of any wrongdoing, that's what the university said. The

347
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: corporation said that the president was proactively questioning corrections on

348
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: two papers. So when that wasn't enough to bring down

349
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: the president of Harvard, right, they're still covering for her.

350
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: Then the new complaints came out. They forced a more

351
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: comprehensive reckoning at a time when even liberal media outlets,

352
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: including at this point now The Boston Globe, The Chronicle

353
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: of Higher Education, and The Crimson were talking and taking

354
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: concerns about Gay's scholarship seriously. It could also hold her

355
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: Harvard's feet to the fire over the school's legal threat

356
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: to the Post to move, the complaint says, violate the

357
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: school's own research misconduct policy, which forbids retaliation against complainants. Right, well,

358
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: apparently not right, because they're hiring a law firm and

359
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: then going after holding an article from The New York

360
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: Post they had to hold for almost two months. Even

361
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: apparent retaliation must be reported to Harvard's Research integrity officer,

362
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: who should protect and restore the position and reputation of

363
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: the person against whom the retaliation has directed.

364
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: The policy states.

365
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: The complainant asks Harvard to open a separate inquiry into

366
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: whether this policy was followed. So, if you think that

367
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: this is some sort of justice for what she said

368
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: in front of Congress, you're being lied to. If you

369
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: think that she was fired because of her anti Semitic remarks,

370
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: you are being lied to. Harvard has no problem with

371
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: anti Semitism. I'm going to say that again, Harvard has

372
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: no problem with anti semitism with those who hate Jews.

373
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: In fact, they will protect you and they will grow

374
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: your influence and your sphere if you are anti Semitic

375
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: at the university. Second thing is this, Harvard also has

376
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: no problem with people that are successful that cheat as

377
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: long as they are I guess anti Semites. In the

378
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: process of doing that, Harvard protected at all costs.

379
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: I mean at all costs.

380
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: Harvard protected their president when it came to anti semitism.

381
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: It was just the fact that they couldn't overlook the

382
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: twenty five thirty, the growing number of complaints, these six

383
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: charges of plagiarism, half of Gay's published works now implicated

384
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: in this growing scandal, was too much for Harvard to

385
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: protect her anymore because of the complaint filed with the university,

386
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: breathing fresh life into this president's lack of work ethic.

387
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: Now, if you look at.

388
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: The total number, and this has just been reported now

389
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: by the Free Beacon, the presidency of Gay had a

390
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: total of allegations that was now of plagiarism now nearing fifty.

391
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 2: Let me break that down for you.

392
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: Seven of Gay's seventeen published works have already been impacted

393
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 1: by the scandal, but the new charges, which have not

394
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: been previously reported, extended into an eighth and a two

395
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: thousand and one article, Gay lifts nearly half a page

396
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: of material verbatim from another scholar, David Cannon, a political

397
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: science professor start at the University of Wisconsin. That article,

398
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: The Effect of Minority Districts and Minority Representation on political

399
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: participation in California, include some of the most extreme and

400
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: clearcut cases of plagiarism. Yet at one point, Gay Borrow's

401
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: four sentences from Canon's nineteen ninety nine book Race, Redistricting

402
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: and Representation The Unintended Consequences of Black Majority Districts, without

403
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: quotation marks and.

404
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 2: With only minor.

405
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 1: Semantical tweaks to the text. She does not cite Canon

406
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: anywhere in or near the passage, though he does appear

407
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: in the bigbliography Beyond that, Gay's first two footnotes are

408
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: copied verbatim from Canon's end notes. You can see them

409
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: side by side now on my Twitter you could our

410
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: ax Ben Ferguson's show There Canon, like several of the scholars,

411
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: Gay has quoted without attribution and insisted that she had

412
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: done nothing wrong quote The Free Beacon, I am not

413
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: at all concerned about the passages ken and told the

414
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: Washington Free Beacon, this isn't even close to an example

415
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: of academic plagiarism. Though Harvard's governing body, the Harvard Corporation,

416
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: set in mid December that it had reviewed Gay's published

417
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: works and found several cases of inadequate citations, it did

418
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: not identify any of the examples ascribed, and the new complaint,

419
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: which was submitted to the school's Research Integrity officer, the

420
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: reviews were clear time and time again she decided to

421
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: take words from others and plagiarize them verbatim. Another example

422
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: was in another paper, and the allegation that was filed

423
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: Monday also included more material from Gay's dissertation, which has

424
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: already received three corrections, and one of the new examples. Gay,

425
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: who works in quantitative political science, let's say full sentence

426
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: from her thesis advisor Gary King to describe a mathematical model.

427
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: She does not cite King in the in the document

428
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: at all, or put his words in quotation marks. If

429
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: you put them side by side, they read verbatim. So

430
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: what did you learn from all this. This is a

431
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: woman that every time she did something that was important,

432
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: she didn't do it on her own. She took words

433
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 1: from other people and used those words and decided to

434
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: use those words to make herself look brilliant. That's why

435
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: Harvard was forced to get rid of her and to

436
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: force her resignation. It was not, I will say this again,

437
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: it was not because of her anti Semitism. Did Harvard

438
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: write the wrong and get rid of someone who is

439
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: an anti Semite? Know they protected her till the very

440
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: end as an anti Semite.

441
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: Do not be fooled by what this actually is.

442
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: Make sure that you share this podcast, please with your

443
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: family and your friends. It's very important that you do

444
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: that so they can hear the real story of why

445
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: Gay was fired or why I guess you could say

446
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: she resigned from Harvard and I'll see you back here

447
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: tomorrow
