>> it can be harassment. >> the answer is yes. >> mcgill tried to walk back her comments a day later and a video posted to x. >> a call for genocide of jewish people is threatening, it deeply so. in my view it would be harassment or intimidation. >> despite those remarks and many felt the damage was already done it. members of the congressional committee who are now investigating penn, harvard, mit over anti-semitism have celebrated mcgill's resignation and are now calling for the presidents of harvard and mit to step down as congresswoman elise stefanik said to the reservation last night quote one down to to go. arthel: alri all right cb cotton thank you very much. eric: while harvard present day walk the plank at next classroom billionaire harvard alumni bill aikman is an alumnus who led the rebellion there he is calling for gage to step down from the presidency of harvard. she said she owes her job to harvard dti diversity, equity and inclusion policies. he also said she and mit president also testified at that hearing should both quote resresignin disgrace. joining us now at north carolina congressman virginia fox is chair of the house education committee. do at the harvard president should keep her job? >> set us up to the trustees whether to do that or the board of overseers i think they call it. we have launched an investigation into harvard, mit, upenn had lots of other schools because we think this moral rot ais i talked about in my commens is very, very widespread. we want to do a thorough investigation and we went to see where that investigation leads us. we do not want to prejudge what we are going to find in those investigations. we are working on a reform for post secondary for a long time for real real reform i've been working on this for a long time. and i think what happened at the hearing last week has shown the american people the need for that reform. while i am sorry about what happened on october 7 obviously i am sorry these presidents could not establish moral clarity for themselves and for their institutions. >> as what they are supposed to do. >> the american people are seeing this. eric: that's what they are supposed to do. these are the most elite institutions of higher education in this country and are allowing this on the campuses. calls for a genocide, river to the sea and the sort of thing. let me play you a snippet of your colleague congresswoman elise stefanik talking to the pennsylvania president this one viral take a listen. >> i am asking specifically calling for the genocide of jews, does that constitute bullying and harassment? >> if it is directed it is harassment too. >> of the answer is yes question or. >> it is a context decision congresswoman pik rex is a context -dependent solution that is your testimony today? this is the easiest question to answer yes mesa mcgill. that was your testimony that you will not answer yes? >> if. >> yes or no pay. >> if the speech becomes conduct it can be harassment yes. quick. eric: context? what was your reaction when she was saying that. franklin delano roosevelt went to harvard. but with the president of the united states to lead this nation and freed in the world for democracy against the nazis and adolf hitler, what would he say? would he sa say it was hitler's context dependent? >> know what. we have to condemn these comments every time they come out. we cannot tolerate taxpayer dollars going to institutions that allow for anti-semitism and for calling for genocide of the jews this is got to stop. stay for you know what president trump did in 2019 they added anti-semitism to the title of the civil rights law you think these universe of their funding pulled with ac lawsuits because anti-semitism is part of protecting civil rights in this nation. >> that is what we look for an hour investigation of these campuses and more. this is not just confined to these campuses. we want to look at columbia, cornell, and many, many other institutions. we went hard working taxpayer dollars not sent to places that promote genocide in anti-semitism. so we will take the investigation where it leads us and see what happens. eric: in her defense who is now resigned as the chair of the university pennsylvania trustees he said it was just a snippet in a five hour hostile form. he called your hearing a hostile form. were you hostile? was at a hostile form against these presidents? >> is not a hostile form we were seeking information. i think our members as a whole asked excellent questions. go back and look at the questions that were asked about foreign money coming in. about segregated graduations. there were gory q great questiod of these presidents. every member of that committee did a great job on asking questions. and it has shocked the nation. but again, we were aware of the concerns the public had about this and i am so delighted this has made such headlines and people are paying attention because we do have a moral rot. i don't call them elite institutions i call the most expensive institutions in the country they are not teaching morality. they are not teaching higher order thinking. let's not elevate them where they do not need to be elevated. eric: with a final note on another institution georgetown university in washington d.c., my alma mater. look at georgetown came out in statements of the dean of student of foreign service anti-semitic language and imagery have no place on our campus we strongly condemn such acts of hate for it will not tolerate behavior that imperils our ability to serve students and undermines her school commitment to open and respectful engagement in the face of the world's most pressing challenges. we strongly condemn anti-semitism in all of its forms and stand together in our community members about racial, ethnic and religious faiths. you are a former president of a commuter committee college the d community college is it so hard for some of these presidents to have come out and said not just their own personal feelings on behalf of the universities and tight semitism calling for genocide for killing of jews has no place in this country on our campuses as we try to teach a moral and ethical behavior to our students. >> it should not be in the least hard. it should be so easy. this country was founded on religious freedom. our number one freedom is of religion. it should not be difficult to condemn anti-semitism and the calling for genocide of the jews or any other people. we are dealing with this with our colleges and universities. they have to be dealt with it we are going to do that in our committee. ex- congressman virginia foxx we look forward to the result of your investigation and pressing forward on this and for your next hearings thank you. >> thank you for having me. arthel: joining us now you panic jewish students. he's calling out the ivy league university or its insufficient response to anti-semitism. i want to start the yes or no question for you. is the resignation of liz mcgill enough? unmute yourself. on mute your self. can you hear me? all right outside what. okay you hear me but i don't hear use of guys let's regroup. let's give him a chance to get his audio together and then we will move on, a right will get them back after saudi was fixed. eric where he went to go from here guys? >> i will pick it up arthel. dealing with the tornadoes for a moment in tennessee did you hear about that last night there was a horror down south at least six people were killed including a child after a tornado touched down there was severe storms throughout the northern part of that state last night. sixty-two people have been taken to the hospital in one hard hit area. ripped homes apart, pollute roofs off buildings and knocked out electricity to tens of thousands of people. it could take they save weeks before the power is completely back on threat the northern part of the state search crews today now looking for the rest of these survivors and their wreckage our hearts and prayers of course go out to all the people in northern tennessee affected by the severe storms last night. arthel: absolute scary times you panic jewish students as i said is calling out the ivy league university over its insufficient response to anti-semitism and i want to do this again. i want to start the yes or no question. is the resignation of liz mcgill enough? >> ano, it is not. the pervasive anti-semitism and anti- americanism added along with other institutions is quite frightening. and a one to thank president mcgill and i can agree with her testimony is it comes down to education. i am thinking of one professor in particular who consistently hasn't justified what hamas did on october 7 but also wrote a book comparing protestantism to the ideology of al qaeda. so in my hearing in my testimony to congress i said it's jews it today but it's the rest of us tomorrow. and this showcases it best. arthel: if you could could you outline what changes, rules, guidelines you think need to be implemented or enforced to satisfy protection as well as muslim students. >> indefinitely. i don't think this comes down specifically jewish students at all. i comes on to safety overall. if you have a pervasive sympathetic community within your own community for terrorism is a "new york post" article or a non- jewish student said he believes there is a serious issue with sympathy toward terrorism. that would be scary to not just jewish students but all students parents, alumni, americans and that is the core of the issue. when you cannot have this moral ambivalence try to play both sides you give someone an empty they will take a mile. that you should be clear condemnation and action taken by the administration when someone violates policies that they will be held accountable and has nothing to do with this idea i keep hearing of victimhood. if you break a policy you shoule sanctioned it's very simple. arthel: context is not needed so listen as we well know college is a place where various perspectives of life and experiences are exchanged and hopefully where tolerance is fostered. do you think that can still happen? >> one 100%. i've been hearing a lot of incoming students being scared to apply to institutions like pen, like harvard, like mit. i don't how much my word means but please do still apply. i guarantee myself and the other people working on this the new school year starts that things are fix. that it is safe. i welcome anyone to continue to apply to these institutions to not be scared and one 100% there should be speech that make you feel uncomfortable and college campuses that is what college is all about. i could not agree more that. as a course being taught in the upcoming spring semester which focuses on a terrorist that is due when it infringes on the difference in academic freedom and feeling uncomfortable versus a genuine feeling. >> of normalizing things that cannot be normalized. of normalizing a subject that should not be normalized. let me move on to this because last week you i had another hadr student filed a lawsuit claiming the ivy league institution has become an incubation lab for virulent anti-jewish hatred, harassment and discrimination do you plan to pursue this? >> i don't feel comfortable discussing details quite yet just because of how fast everything is moving. the main goal of this suit is injunctive relief. any monetary gain will be donated. there is no personal gain and this it's truly just established a safe community for all students currently attending and hopefully the many students who are applying to school. applying to penn and other institutions as well. i just want to be clear there is no sort of personal gain and this suit at all. it is truly just trying to reestablish a safe environment i make the necessary changes so students can actually go to class without fearing for their lives. they can go to class knowing their teachers will be teaching them how to critically think and not for trying protestantism and al qaeda as one in the same ideology. this is seriously terrifying stuff to be portraying to students. and i truly hope people understand there will be a solution. not fear for their lives. >> good luck to you. in this pursuit whatever your pursuit in life is in any change you can bring about to make this country even better i applaud you for that and wish you well. university of pennsylvania student eyal yakoby thank you very much for joining us. main route more threats and attacks aimed at u.s. troops in the middle east. have the biden administration is handling all of this. that is coming up next. l take t. woo hoo! ensure max protein 30 grams protein, one gram sugar, 25 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients for immune health.
