A Less Than Magnanimous Inauguration, Trump's and Biden's Pardons & Penn's Free Speech Double StandardWelcome to episode thirty of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:1) A summary of Trump's inauguration, including his mean-spirited address, Melania's ridiculous hat, the slew of executive orders, many of which are already being challenged in court, and the Democrats' hypocritical and hapless attacks on cabinet nominees, most notably Pete Hegseth;2) A discussion of Trump's disgraceful pardons of the violent Jan. 6 rioters as well as Biden's pardon of his family, the members of the Jan. 6 Committee, Dr. Fauci, and other controversial selections; and 3) Professor Laurie Wax's lawsuit against the University of Pennsylvania for violating her free speech rights and how it was hypocritical for Penn to discipline her no matter how offensive her statements may have been, notably since Penn's former president, Liz Magill, testified before Congress claiming that whether calling for the genocide of Jews violated Penn's policies depended on the context.

pWotD Episode 2750: Elise Stefanik Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 323,020 views on Monday, 11 November 2024 our article of the day is Elise Stefanik.Elise Marie Stefanik ( stə-FAH-nick; born July 2, 1984) is an American politician serving as the U. S. representative for New York's 21st congressional district. As chair of the House Republican Conference since 2021, she is the fourth-ranking House Republican. Stefanik's district covers most of the North Country and the Adirondack Mountains, some of the outer suburbs of Utica and the Capital District in New York. In addition to being the first woman to occupy her House seat, Stefanik was 30 when first elected to the House in 2014, making her the youngest woman elected to Congress at the time.Initially elected as a moderate conservative, Stefanik has moved considerably towards the right, as she aligned herself with the then-President Donald Trump. She strongly opposed the first impeachment of Trump in 2019 amid the Trump–Ukraine scandal and backed Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election, objecting to Pennsylvania's electoral votes after Trump supporters were involved in the 2021 United States Capitol attack. As the U. S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack began to investigate, Stefanik claimed that Speaker Nancy Pelosi was responsible for the attack. Stefanik was elected chair of the House Republican Conference in May 2021 after incumbent Liz Cheney was removed due to her opposition to President Trump.Stefanik gained national attention in December 2023 for her intense questioning of university presidents during a widely televised U. S. congressional hearing on antisemitism. Stefanik's questioning contributed to the resignation of Liz Magill, the president of the University of Pennsylvania.In November 2024, CNN reported that Trump had offered Stefanik the position of United States ambassador to the United Nations.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:32 UTC on Tuesday, 12 November 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Elise Stefanik on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Brian.

Desde mediados de abril se vienen produciendo protestas en los principales campus universitarios estadounidenses a causa de la guerra de Gaza o, más concretamente, a causa de la intervención del ejército israelí en Gaza. Los manifestantes, que en muchos casos han acampado o han ocupado edificios de la universidad, se quejan por el modo en el que Israel está acometiendo la guerra y exigen al Gobierno de Joe Biden que cambie por completo su política en Oriente Próximo, que reconozca al Estado palestino y que suspenda las relaciones con Israel. El ejemplo estadounidense no ha tardado en contagiarse al otro lado del Atlántico. En toda Europa las universidades se han llenado de estudiantes que piden lo mismo y actúan de idéntica manera, por lo general apoyados por las autoridades académicas. Pero es en Estados Unidos donde estas acampadas y concentraciones están concitando mayor atención política y mediática, seguramente porque en algunos casos son muy concurridas y, sobre todo, porque estamos en pleno año electoral. La semana pasada la policía tuvo que desalojar las acampadas en el Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts, más conocido como MIT y en la Universidad de Pensilvania. Antes de eso ya tuvieron que intervenir en otros campus como el de Harvard, Columbia y UCLA, en Los Ángeles. En todos los casos los agentes tuvieron que proceder a decenas de arrestos y, como consecuencia, las redes sociales están que echan fuego. El tema no es nuevo, viene de lejos. Las manifestaciones contra la guerra de Gaza empezaron a finales del año pasado y ocasionaron que el Congreso montase una comisión de investigación ya que en algunos campus se estaba alentando propaganda anti israelí, se jaleaba a los terroristas de Hamas y se señalaba y perseguía a los estudiantes judíos. La audiencia en el Congreso fue muy tensa. Las rectoras de Harvard, Pensilvania y el MIT comparecieron ante los representantes y, aunque aseguraron que estaban tomando medidas para evitar el antisemitismo en sus instituciones, lo cierto era que, en los tres casos, se habían mostrado extremadamente complacientes con los radicales. El asunto provocó un agrio debate a escala nacional y terminó con la dimisión de Claudine Gay y Liz Magill, rectoras de Harvard y la Universidad de Pensilvania. La del MIT, Sally Kornbluth, sigue en su puesto. Se calcula que entre ocho y diez mil personas se han manifestado en los campus desde hace algo más de un mes. No es mucha gente, pero la universidad suele ser el preludio de movilizaciones mayores. Muchos temen un verano de protestas por todo el país coincidiendo con la celebración de las dos convenciones de nominación, la de los demócratas se celebrará en Chicago entre el 19 y el 22 de agosto, la de los republicanos tendrá lugar en Milwaukee un mes antes, entre el 15 y el 18 de julio. Las autoridades creen que, en ambos casos, tendrán que prever grandes manifestaciones y quizá disturbios. Algo que a Trump le conviene, pero no tanto a Joe Biden, que sabe que esa gente que se está manifestando contra Israel forma parte de su electorado y tiene mucha influencia en el voto demócrata.

“Good Morning, Good News” News Director Greg Taylor talks with Liz Magill, Executive Director of Hope & Harbor Homeless Shelter about how this past season went, how many people they helped, exciting news coming later this summer, and more!

This episode is with one of our guest speakers at The Unspeakeasy retreat in Chicago. If you're interested in going, learn more here. This week Meghan welcomes returning guest Erec Smith. He is an academic whose area of scholarship is Rhetoric, but he also writes and speaks frequently about the state of race politics in America, particularly the perils (and uses) of DEI. In this conversation, they talk about the concept of prescriptive racism, which Erec wrote about in a recent Boston Globe column, and ask whether the emergence of the concept of microaggressions has resulted mainly in people steering clear of one another. They also discuss what's happened on college campuses since Erec was on the podcast a year ago, including the ouster of college presidents like Harvard's Claudine Gay and U Penn's Liz Magill over free speech policies. He also discusses what he was like as a college student carrying around a copy of Emerson's Self-Reliance and how he would have felt if he'd been told that he was living under the thumb of white supremacy. Erec will be a guest speaker at the first-ever Unspeakeasy coed retreat in Chicago on June 4-5. We'll also be joined by recent Unspeakable guests Nadine Strossen and Lisa Selin Davis. To find out about that go to theunspeakeasy.com.) Make sure you listen all the way to the end, so you can hear an excerpt from Everyone's A Little Bit Racist from the Tony Award-winning musical Avenue Q. (Probably not coming to a high school theater near you.) GUEST BIO Erec Smith is a professor of rhetoric at York College of PA, a research scholar at the Cato Insitute, and a co-founder and an editor at Free Black Thought.

There was so much to talk about—this is the longest Ground Truths podcast yet. Hope you'll find it as thought-provoking as I did!Transcript, with audio and external links, edited by Jessica Nguyen, Producer for Ground TruthsVideo and audio tech support by Sinjun Balabanoff, Scripps ResearchEric Topol (00:00:05):This is Eric Topol from Ground Truths, and I am delighted to have with me Holden Thorp, who is the Editor-in-Chief of the Science journals. We're going to talk about Science, not just the magazine journal, but also science in general. This is especially appropriate today because Holden was just recognized by STAT as one of the leaders for 2024 because of his extraordinary efforts to promote science integrity, so welcome Holden.Holden Thorp (00:00:36):Thanks Eric, and if I remember correctly, you were recognized by STAT in 2022, so it's an honor to join a group that you're in anytime, that's for sure, and great to be on here with you.Eric Topol (00:00:47):Well, that's really kind to you. Let's start off, I think with the journal, because I know that consumes a lot of your efforts and you have five journals within science.Holden Thorp (00:01:02):Oh, we have six.Eric Topol (00:01:03):Oh six, I'm sorry, six. There's Science, the original, and then five others. Can you tell us what it's like to oversee all these journals?Overseeing the Science JournalsHolden Thorp (00:01:16):Yeah, we're a relatively small family compared to our commercial competitors. I know you had Magdalena [Skipper]on and Nature has I think almost ninety journals, so six is pretty small. In addition to Science, which most people are familiar with, we have Science Advances, which also covers all areas of science and is larger and is a gold open access journal and also is overseen by academic editors, not professional editors. All of our other journals are overseen by professional editors. And then the other four are relatively small and specialized areas, and probably people who listen to you and follow you would know about Science Translational Medicine, Science Immunology, Science Signaling and then we also have a journal, Science Robotics which is something I knew nothing about and I learned a lot. I've learned a lot about robotics and the culture of people who work there interacting with them.Holden Thorp (00:02:22):So we have a relatively small family. There's only 160 people who work for me, which is manageable. I mean that sounds like a lot, but in my previous jobs I was a provost and a chancellor, and I had tens of thousands of people, so it's really fun for me to have a group where I at least have met everybody who works for me. We're an outstanding set of journals, so we attract an outstanding group of professionals who do all the things that are involved in all this, and it's really, really fun to work with them. At Science, we don't just do research papers, although that's a big, and probably for your listeners the biggest part of what we do. But we also have a news and commentary section and the news section is 30 full-time and many freelancers around the world really running the biggest general news operation for science that there is. And then in the commentary section, which you're a regular contributor for us in expert voices, we attempt to be the best place in the world for scientists to talk to each other. All three of those missions are just really, really fun for me. It's the best job I've ever had, and it's one I hope to do for many years into the future.Eric Topol (00:03:55):Well, it's extraordinary because in the four and a half years I think it's been since you took the helm, you've changed the face of Science in many ways. Of course, I think the other distinction from the Nature Journals is that it's a nonprofit entity, which shows it isn't like you're trying to proliferate to all sorts of added journals, but in addition, what you've done, at least the science advisor and the science news and all these things that come out on a daily basis is quite extraordinary as we saw throughout the pandemic. I mean, just reporting that was unparalleled from, as you say, all points around the world about really critically relevant topics. Obviously it extends well beyond the concerns of the pandemic. It has a lot of different functions, but what I think you have done two major things, Holden. One is you medicalized it to some extent.Eric Topol (00:04:55):A lot of people saw the journal, particularly Science per se, as a truly basic science journal. Not so much applied in a medical sphere, but these days there's more and more that would be particularly relevant to the practice of medicine, so that's one thing. And the other thing I wanted you to comment on is you're not afraid to speak out and as opposed to many other prior editors who I followed throughout my career at Science, there were pretty much the politically correct type and they weren't going to really express themselves, which you are particularly not afraid of. Maybe you could comment about if you do perceive this medicalization of science to some extent, and also your sense of being able to express yourself freely.Capturing the Breakthroughs in Structural BiologyHolden Thorp (00:05:48):Yeah, well, you're kind to say both of those things are certainly things we have worked at. I mean, I do come from a background, even though I'm trained as a chemist, most of what I did towards the latter end of my career, I mean, I did very basic biochemistry when I was a researcher, but the last part of my research career I worked in on development of a drug called Vivjoa, which is an alternative to the fluconazole family that doesn't have the same toxicity and is currently on the market for chronic yeast infection and hopefully some other things in the future when we can get some more clinical trials done.Holden Thorp (00:06:35):And I've hung around biotech startups and drug development, so it is part of the business that I knew. I think the pandemic really gave us an opening because Valda Vinson, who's now the Executive Editor and runs all of life sciences for us and policies for the journal, she was so well known in structural biology that most of the first important structures in Covid, including the spike protein, all came to us. I mean, I remember crystal clear February of 2020, she came in my office and she said, I got the structure of the spike protein. And I said, great, what's the spike protein? Turned out later became the most famous protein in the world, at least temporarily. Insulin may be back to being the most famous protein now, but spike protein was up there. And then that kind of cascaded into all the main protease and many of the structures that we got.Holden Thorp (00:07:45):And we seized on that for sure, to kind of broaden our focus. We had the Regeneron antibodies, we had the Paxlovid paper, and all of that kind of opened doors for us. And we've also, now we have two clinical editors at Science, Priscilla Kelly and Yevgeniya Nusinovich, and then the Insights section, somebody that you work with closely, Gemma Alderton, she is very fluent in clinical matters. And then of course we've had Science Translational Medicine and we seek continue to strengthen that. Science Immunology was very much boosted by Covid and actually Science Immunology is now, I think probably if you care about impact factors, the second highest specialized immunology journal after Immunity. I've put some emphasis on it for sure, but I think the pandemic also really helped us. As far as me speaking out, a lot of people maybe don't remember, but Don Kennedy, who was the editor in the early 2000s who had been the Stanford president, he was similarly outspoken.Confronting ControversiesHolden Thorp (00:09:15):It's funny, sometimes people who disagree with me say, well, Don Kennedy would never say anything like that. And then I can dig up something that Don Kennedy said that's just as aggressive as what I might've said. But you're right, Bruce Alberts was very focused on education, and each one of us has had our own different way of doing things. When Alan Leshner hired me and Sudip Parikh reinforced this when he came on, I mean, he wanted me to liven up the editorial page. He explicitly told me to do that. I may have done more of it than he was expecting, but Alan and Sudip both still remain very supportive of that. I couldn't do what I do without them and also couldn't do it without Lisa Chong, who makes all my words sound so much better than they are when I start. And yeah, it kind of fed on itself.Holden Thorp (00:10:21):It started with the pandemic. I think there was an inflection when Trump first said that Covid was just the flu, and when he said some really ridiculous things about the vaccine, and that's where it started. I guess my philosophy was I was thinking about people who, they've got a spouse at home whose job might be disrupted. They got children they've got who are out of school, and somehow they managed to get themselves to the lab to work on our vaccine or some other aspect of the pandemic to try to help the world. What would those people want their journal to say when they came home and turned the news on and saw all these politicians saying all this ridiculous stuff? That was really the sort of mantra that I had in my head, and that kind of drove it. And now I think we've sort of established the fact that it's okay to comment on things that are going on in the world. We're editorially independent, Sudip and the AAAS board, treat us as being editorially independent. I don't take that for granted and it's a privilege to, as I sometimes tell people, my apartment's four blocks from the White House, sometimes I'm over there typing things that they don't like. And that tradition is still alive in this country, at least for the time being, and I try to make the most of it.Eric Topol (00:12:11):Well, and especially as you already touched on Holden, when there's a time when the intersection of politics and science really came to a head and still we're dealing with that, and that's why it's been so essential to get your views as the leader of such an important journal that is publishing some of the leading science in the world on a weekly basis. Now, one of the things I do want to get into this other track that you also alluded to. You went from a chemist, and you eventually rose to Dean and chancellor of University of North Carolina (UNC) and also the provost of Washington University, two of our best institutions academically in the country. I would imagine your parents who were both UNC grads would've been especially proud of you being the chancellor.Holden Thorp (00:13:05):It's true. Yeah. Unfortunately, my father wasn't there to see it, but my mother, as I always tell people, my mother very much enjoyed being the queen mother of her alma mater.On Stanford University's President ResignationEric Topol (00:13:16):Yeah, I would think so, oh my goodness. That gives you another perspective that's unique having been in the senior management of two really prestigious institutions, and this past year a lot has been going on in higher education, and you have again come to the fore about that. Let's just first discuss the Stanford debacle, the president there. Could you kind of give us synopsis, you did some really important writing about that, and what are your thoughts looking back on the student who happens to be Peter Baker's and Susan's son, two incredible journalists at the New York Times and New Yorker, who broke the story at the Stanford Daily as a student, and then it led to eventually the President's resignation. So, what were your thoughts about that?Holden Thorp (00:14:16):Yeah, so it's a complicated and sad story in some ways, but it's also fascinating and very instructive. Two of the papers were in Science, two of the three main ones, the other one was in Cell. And we had made an error along the way because Marc had sent a correction in which for some reason never got posted. We searched every email server we had everything we had trying to find exactly what happened, but we think we have a website run by humans and there was something that happened when the corrections were transmitted into our operations group, and they didn't end up on the website. So, one of the things I had to do was to say repeatedly to every reporter who wanted to ask me, including some Pulitzer Prize winners, that we had looked everywhere and couldn't find any reason why somebody would've intentionally stopped those corrections from posting.Holden Thorp (00:15:36):And one thing about it was I didn't want, Marc had enough problems, he didn't need to be blamed for the fact that we botched that. So I think people were maybe impressed that we just came out and admitted we made a mistake, but that's really what this area needs. And those things happened before I became the editor in chief, but I was satisfied that where that error happened was done by people who had no idea who Marc Tessier-Lavigne even was, but because of all that, and because we had to decide what to do with these papers, I talked to him extensively at the beginning of this, maybe as much as anybody, now that I look back on it. And I think that for him, the error that happened is very common one. You have a PI with a big lab.Holden Thorp (00:16:33):There are many, many incentives for his coworkers and yours to want to get high profile publications. And what we see is mostly at the end when you kind of know what's happening, some corners get cut doing all the controls and all of the last things that have to be done to go into the paper. And someone in his lab did that, and he didn't notice when the jails were sent in. The committee that investigated it later found something that I was certain at the beginning was going to be true, which is he didn't have any direct involvement in and making the problematic images or know that they were there. Every time we see one of these, that's almost always the story.Holden Thorp (00:17:32):And if he hadn't been the president of Stanford, he probably would've, I mean, a couple of the papers that were attracted might even could have been just big corrections. That's another topic we can talk about in terms of whether that's the right thing to do but because he was the president of Stanford, it triggered all these things at the university, which made the story much, much more complicated. And it is similar to what we see in a lot of these, that it's the institution that does the most to make these things bigger than they need to be. And in this case, the first thing was that young Theo Baker who I've talked on the phone extensively with, and I just had a long lunch with him in Palo Alto a couple weeks ago, it's the first time we ever met in person. He's finishing up his book, which has been optioned for a movie, and I've told him that I want Mark Hamill to play me in the movie because I don't know if you saw this last thing he did, Fall of the House of Usher but he was a very funny curmudgeonly.Holden Thorp (00:18:46):And so, I think he would be a lot like me dealing with Theo, but Theo did great work. Did everything that Theo write add up precisely. I mean, he was teaching himself a lot of this biochemistry as he went along, so you could always find little holes in it, but the general strokes of what he had were correct. And in my opinion, and Marc would've been better served by talking to Theo and answering his questions or talking to other reporters who are covering this and there are many excellent ones. This is something I learned the hard way when I was at North Carolina. It's always better for the President to just face the music and answer the questions instead of doing what they did, which is stand up this long and complicated investigation. And when the institutions do these long investigations, the outcome is always unsatisfying for everybody because the investigation, it found precisely what I think anybody who understands our world would've expected that Marc didn't know about the fraud directly, but that he could have done more to create a culture in his laboratory where these things were picked up, whether that's making his lab smaller or him having fewer other things to do, or precisely what it is, people could speculate.Managing a Crisis at a UniversityHolden Thorp (00:20:37):But of course, that's what always happens in these. So the report produced exactly what any reporter who's covered this their whole lives would've expected it to produce, but the people who don't know the intimate details of how this works, were not satisfied by that. And he ended up having to step down and we'll never know what would've happened if instead of doing all of that, he just said, wow, I really screwed this up. I'm responsible for the fact that these images are in here and I'm going to do everything I can to straighten it out. I'd be happy to take your questions. That's always what I encourage people to do because I was in a similar situation at North Carolina with a scandal involved in athletics and an academic department, and we did umpteen investigations instead of me just saying, hey, everybody, we cheated for 30 years. It started when I was in middle school, but I'm still going to try to clean it up and I'll be happy to answer your questions. And instead, we get lawyers and PR people and all these carefully worded statements, and it's all prolonged. And we see that in every research integrity matter we deal with and there are a lot of other things in higher education that are being weighed down by all of that right now.Eric Topol (00:22:06):Yeah. One of the things that is typical when a university faces a crisis, and we're going to get into a couple others in a moment, is that they get a PR firm, and the PR firm says, just say you're going to do an investigation because that'll just pull it out of the news, take it out of the news. It doesn't work that way. And what's amazing is that the universities pay a lot of money to these PR companies for crisis management. And being forthright may indeed be the answer, but that doesn't happen as best as we can see. I think you're suggesting a new path that might be not just relevant, but the way to get this on the right course quickly.Holden Thorp (00:22:58):Just on that, there's a person in that PR space who I really like. There are a few of them that are really good, and he's the person who helped me the most. And he used to refer doing the investigation as putting it on the credit card.Eric Topol (00:23:16):Yeah. Yeah, exactly.Holden Thorp (00:23:17):Okay, because you still have to pay the credit card bill after you charge something.Eric Topol (00:23:25):Yeah, better to write a check.Holden Thorp (00:23:27):It's better to write a check. Yes, because that 18% interest can add up pretty quickly.Resignations of the Presidents at Harvard and PennEric Topol (00:23:32):I like that metaphor entirely appropriate. That's a good one. Now, in the midst of all this, there's been two other leading institutions besides Stanford where the president resigned for different reasons, at least in part one was at Harvard and one at Penn. And this is just a crisis in our top universities in the country. I mean three of the very top universities. So, could you comment about the differences at Harvard and Penn related to what we just discussed at Stanford?Holden Thorp (00:24:09):Yeah, so I don't know Claudine Gay, but I've exchanged emails with her, and I do know Liz Magill and I know Sally Kornbluth even better. Our kids went to middle school together because she was at Duke. And I think Sally is in good shape, and she did a little bit better in the hearings because I think she was a little more forthcoming than Liz and Dr. Gay were but I think also Liz was in a pretty weakened state already when she went in there. And I think that what happened that day, and it was a devastating day for higher education. I cleared my calendar, and I watched the whole thing and I couldn't sleep that night. And it was, I thought, oh my goodness, my way of making a living has just taken a death blow. I just felt so much compassion for the three of them, two of whom I knew, one of whom I could imagine having been through similar things myself.Holden Thorp (00:25:20):And I think what my take on the whole thing about free speech and the war and all this stuff is that higher education has got a problem, which is that we have promised to deliver a product that we can't really deliver, and that is to provide individualized experiences for students. So, I'm back on the faculty now at GW. I have 16 people in my class, I know every single one of them. I was teaching during the fall, last fall. I teach on Monday nights, which Yom Kippur was on a Monday night, which was before October 7th. And so, I knew precisely how many Jewish kids I had in my class because they had to make up class for that Monday night.Holden Thorp (00:26:18):I was basically able to talk to each one of them and make sure. And then GW is a very liberal university, so I had a whole bunch that were all the way on the other side also. I was just able to talk to each of them and make sure they had what they needed from the university. But the institutions don't really have luxury. They don't have somebody who's been doing this for 35 years teaching 16 people who can make sure they're getting what they need, but they write letters to all their students saying, you're going to join a diverse student body where we're going to give you a chance to express yourself and explore everything, but there's too many of them to actually deliver that. And none of them want to say that out loud. And so, what happens in a situation like this?Holden Thorp (00:27:19):And everybody says, well, don't send out the statements, don't send out the statements, but how else are you going to communicate with all those people? I mean, because the truth is education is a hands-on individualized deal. And so, the students who are experiencing antisemitism at Harvard or Penn or anywhere else, were feeling distress. And the university wasn't doing what they promised and attending to that, and similarly to the students who wanted to express themselves in the other direction. And so, what really needs to happen is that universities need to put more emphasis on what goes on in the classroom so that these students are getting the attention that they've been promised. But universities are trying to do a lot of research and you're at a place that's got a little simpler mission but some of these big complicated ones are doing urban development and they're trying to win athletics competitions, and they're running hotels and fire departments and police departments, and it's really hard to do all and multi, multi-billion dollar investment vehicles.Holden Thorp (00:28:47):It's really hard to do all that and keep the welfare of a bunch of teenagers up at the top of the list. And so, I think really what we need around this topic in general is a reckoning about this very point. Now as far as how to gotten through the hearing a little better, I mean what they said was technically correct, no question about that. But where they struggled was in saying things that would cause them to admit that they had failed at doing what they promised for the people who are feeling distressed. And again, that's kind of my mantra on all these things, whether it's student affairs or research integrity or anything else, the universities have made massive commitments to do probably more things than they can, and rather than fessing up to that, they just bury the whole thing in legalistic bureaucracy, and it's time for us to cut through a lot of that stuff.Eric Topol (00:30:09):I couldn't agree more on that.Holden Thorp (00:30:10):And in Claudine's case, I think the plagiarism thing, I wrote a piece in the Chronicle that just kind of tried to remind people that the kinds of plagiarism that she was punished for, in my opinion, too much of a punishment is stuff that we routinely pick up now with authenticate and other tools in scholarly publishing, and people just get a report that says, hey, maybe you want to reward this, and that's it. If it doesn't change the academic content of the paper, we hardly ever even pay attention to that. She was being subjected to a modern tool that didn't exist when she wrote the stuff that she wrote. And it's same thing with image analysis, right? When Marc Tessier-Lavigne made his papers, Elisabeth Bik wasn't studying images, and we didn't have proof fig and image twin to pick these things up, so we're taking today's tools and applying them to something that's 20 years old that was produced when those tools didn't exist. You can debate whether that matters or not, but in my opinion it does.Generative A.I. and Publishing ScienceEric Topol (00:31:31):Yeah, that's bringing us to the next topic I wanted to get into you with, which is AI. You've already mentioned about the AI detection of image, which we used to rely on Elisabeth as a human to do that, and now it can be done through AI.Holden Thorp (00:31:51):Well, it doesn't get everything, so I keep telling Elisabeth she doesn't have to worry about being put out of business.Eric Topol (00:31:58):But then there's also, as you said about text detection, and then there's also, as you've written in Science, the overall submission of papers where a GPT may have had significant input to the writing, not just to check the spelling or check minor things. And so, I want to get your views because this is a moving target of course. I mean, it's just the capabilities of AI have just been outpacing, I think a lot of expectations. Where do you see the intersection of AI and Science publishing now? Because as you said, it changes the ground rules for picking up even minor unintended errors or self-plagiarism or whatever, and now it changes the whole landscape considerably.Holden Thorp (00:32:54):Yeah. So, I think you said the most important thing, which is that it's a moving target, and you've been writing about this for medicine for longer than just about anybody, so you've been watching that moving target. We started off with a very restrictive stance, and the reason we did that was because we knew it would keep moving. And so, we wanted to start from the most restrictive possible place and then sort of titrate in the things that we allowed because we didn't want to go through the same thing we went through with Photoshop when it first came along. Like all these altered images that we keep talking about by far the most papers that surface are from the period between when Photoshop became a tool and when we finally had sort of a consensus as a community in terms of what was okay and what wasn't okay to do with your gels when you process the images.Holden Thorp (00:33:55):And we didn't want the same thing with words where we allowed people to use ChatGPT to write, and then a few years later decided, oh, this thing wasn't permissible, and then we have to go back and re-litigate all those papers. We didn't want to do that again. So, we started off with a pretty restrictive stance, which we've loosened once and we'll probably loosen more as we see how things evolve. What we keep looking for is for entities that don't have a financial interest to issue guidelines, so if it's another journal, especially a commercial journal that makes money on the papers, well, you can imagine that these tools are going to give us even more papers. And for a lot of these entities that charge by the paper, they have a financial incentive for people to use ChatGPT to write papers. We look for societies and coalitions of academics who have come together and said these things are okay.Holden Thorp (00:35:04):And the first one of those was when we decided that it was okay, for example, if you are not an English speaker natively to have ChatGPT work on your pros. Now there are lots of people who disagree about that ChatGPT is good at that. That's a separate matter, but we felt we got to a point, I forgot when it was a couple months ago, where we could amend our policies and say that we were going to be more tolerant of text that had been done by ChatGPT. As long as the people who signed the author forms realize that if it makes one of these hallucinating errors that it makes and it gets into the paper that's on them, whether that actually saves you time or not, I don't know.Holden Thorp (00:36:03):I also have my doubts about that, but that's kind of where we're going. We're watching these things as they go. We're still very restrictive on images and there was this debacle in this Frontiers paper a couple of weeks ago with a ridiculous image that got through. So right now, we're still not allowing illustrations that were generated by the visual counterparts of ChatGPT. Will we loosen that in the future? Maybe, as things evolve, so when we did our first amendment, some of the reporters, they're just doing their jobs saying, well, you can't make your mind up about this. And I'm like, no, you don't want us to make up our mind once and for all. And by the way, science is something that changes over time also. So, we're watching this develop and we expect everybody jokes about how we spend too much time talking about this, but I think everybody's gotten to the point now where they're realizing we're going to talk about it for years to come.Eric Topol (00:37:17):Oh my goodness, yes because we're talking about truth versus fake and this is big stuff. I mean, it affects whether it's the elections, whether it's every sector of our lives are affected by this. And obviously publishing in the leading peer review journal, it couldn't be more important as to get this right and to adjust, as you said, as more evidence, performance and other issues are addressed systematically. That does get me to self-correcting science, something else you've written about, which is kind of self-correcting as to how we will understand the use of large language models and generative AI. But this, you get into science in many different ways, whether it's through the celebrity idea, how it has to adapt and correct that there's a miscue from the public about when evolves and it's actually that science. So maybe you could kind of give us your perspective about you are continuing to reassess what is science as we'll get into more about that in a moment. Where are you at right now on that?Holden Thorp (00:38:40):Yeah, so my general sort of shtick about science is to remind people that it's done by human beings. Human beings who have all different kinds of different brains who come from different backgrounds, who have all the human foibles that you see in any other profession. And I think that unfortunately a lot of, and we brought some of this on ourselves, we've kind of taken on an air of infallibility from time to time or as having the final answer when, if you go back just to the simplest Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn early writings in the philosophy of science, it's crystal clear that science is something that evolves. It's something done by sometimes thousands or even hundreds of thousands of millions of people depending on the topic. And it's not the contributions of any individual person hardly ever.Holden Thorp (00:39:54):But yet we continue to give Nobel prizes and hold up various individual scientific figures as being representative. They're usually representative of many, many people. And it's a process that continues to change. And as always point out, if you want to get a paper in science, it's not good to say, hey, here's something everybody thought and we tested it and it's still correct. That's usually not a good way to get a science paper. The right thing to do is to say, hey, the W boson might weigh more than we expected it to, or it turns out that evolution occurs in ways that we didn't expect, or that's how you get a science paper and that's how you get on the cover of Science. Those are the things that we look for, things that change the way people think about science. And so that's what we're all actively looking for, but yet we sometimes portray to the public that we always have everything completely figured out, and the journalists sometimes don't help us because they like to write crisp stories that people can get something out of. And we like to go on TV and say, hey, I got the answer.Holden Thorp (00:41:23):Don't wear a mask. Do wear a mask. This is how much the temperature is going to go up next year. Oh, we refined our, and it turns out it's another 10th of a degree this way or that way. I mean, that's what makes what we do interesting and embedded in that is also human error, right? Because we make errors in interpretation. We might see a set of data that we think mean one thing, but then somebody else will do something that helps us interpret it another way. In my opinion, that's certainly not misconduct. We hardly ever publish corrections or retractions over interpretation. We just publish more papers about that unless it's some very egregious thing. And then we also have greed and ambition and ego and lots of other things that cause people to make intentional errors that get most of the attention. And we have errors that are unintentional, but still may relate to fundamental data in the paper.Holden Thorp (00:42:36):So when you put all this together, the answer isn't to try to catch everything because there's no way in the world we're going to catch everything and we wouldn't want to, even if we could for some of it, because as John Maddox, who ran my competitor journal for many years in a brilliant way at Nature, someone once asked him how many papers in Nature were wrong? And he said, all of them, because all of them are going to be replaced by new information. And so, what we'd be better off trying to convince the public that this is how science works, which is much harder than just going to them with facts. I mean, that takes a lot of work and doing a better job of telling each other that it's okay when we have to change the record because the biggest thing that erodes trust in science is not the fact that we make mistakes, is that when it turns into a drama over whether we are going to correct the record or not, that's what all these, the Stanford case is probably the biggest in people's minds. But if you look at, we've had this behavioral economic stuff at Harvard, I have this superconductivity at Rochester, Dana Farber's having a big event right now. All of these things don't have to be this dramatic if we would do a better job of collaborating with each other on maintaining an accurate scientific record rather than letting ambition and greed and ego get in the way of all of it.Who Is A Scientist?Eric Topol (00:44:21):Well, you got some important threads in there. The one thing I just would also comment on is my favorite thing in Science is challenging dogma because there's so much dogma, and that's obviously part of what you were getting into and many other aspects as well. But that's the story of Science, that nothing stands. If it does, then you're not doing a good job of really interrogating and following up on whatever is accepted at any particular moment in time. But your writings, whether it's in Science and editorials or science forever, your Substack, which are always insightful but I think one of the most recent ones was about, who is a scientist? And I really love that one because I'll let you explain. There are some people who have a very narrow view and others who see it quite differently. And maybe you could summarize it.Holden Thorp (00:45:23):Well, I had the privilege to moderate a panel at the AAAS meeting that included Keith Yamamoto, who was our outgoing president, Willie May, who was our incoming president, Peggy Hamburg, who ran the FDA and many, many other things. Kaye Husbands Fealing who was a social scientist, and Michael Crow, who was the president of Arizona State. These are all extraordinary people. And I just asked him a simple question, so who was the scientist? Because I think one thing that I see in my work, and you probably see in the communication work and writing that you do, that not all of our colleagues who work in the laboratory think that the rest of this stuff is science.Holden Thorp (00:46:17):And the place that breaks my heart the most is when somebody says, one of our professional editors isn't qualified to reject their paper because they don't have their own lab. Alright, well you've interacted with a lot of our editors, they read more papers than either one of us. They know more about what's going on in these papers than anybody. They are absolute scholars in every sense of the word and if someone thinks they're not scientists, I don't know who a scientist is. And so, then you can extend that to science communicators. I mean, those are obviously the problems we've been talking about, the people we need the most great teachers. If someone's a great science teacher and they have a PhD and they worked in lab and they're teaching at a university, are they still a scientist even if they don't have a lab anymore?Holden Thorp (00:47:11):So in my opinion, an expansive definition of this is the best because we want all these people to be contributing. In fact, many of the problems we have aren't because we're not good in the laboratory. We seem to be able to do a good job generating that. It's more about all these other pieces that we're not nearly as good at. And part of what we need to do is value the people who are good at those things, so I pose this to the panel, and I hope people go on and watch the video. It is worth watching. Keith Yamamoto was in the group that said, it's only if you're doing and planning research that you're a scientist. He knew he was going to be outnumbered before we went out there. We talked about that. I said, Keith, you're my boss. If you don't want me to ask that question, I won't. But to his credit, he wanted to talk about this and then Michael Crow was probably the furthest on the other side who said, what makes humans different from other species is that we're all scientists. We all seek to explain things. So somewhere in the middle and the others were kind of scattered around the middle, although I would say closer to Michael than they were to Keith.Holden Thorp (00:48:33):But I think this is important for us to work out because we want everybody who contributes to the scientific enterprise to feel valued. And if they would feel more valued if we called them scientists, that suits me but it doesn't suit all of our academic colleagues apparently.Eric Topol (00:48:54):Well, I mean, I think just to weigh in a bit on that, I'm a big proponent of citizen scientists, and we've seen how it has transformed projects like folded for structural biology and so many things, All of Us program that's ongoing right now to try to get a million participants, at least half of whom are underrepresented to be citizen scientists learning about themselves through their genome and other layers of data. And that I think may help us to fight the misinformation, disinformation, the people that do their own research with a purpose that can be sometimes nefarious. The last type of topic I wanted to get to with you was the University of Florida and the state of Florida and the Surgeon General there. And again, we are kind of circling back to a few things that we've discussed today about higher education institutions as well as politics and I wonder if we get some comments about that scenario.What's Happening in Florida?Holden Thorp (00:49:59):Yeah. Well, I'm coming to you from Orlando, Florida where I have a home that I've had ever since I moved to a cold climate, and I spent the whole pandemic down here. I observed a lot of things going on in the state of Florida firsthand. And I think in a way it's two different worlds because Florida does make a massive investment in higher education more than many other states and that has really not changed that much under Governor DeSantis despite his performative views that seem to be to the contrary. And so, I think it's important to acknowledge that Florida State and Florida and UCF and USF, these are excellent places and many of them have thrived in terms of their budgets even in this weird climate, but the political performance is very much in the other direction. This is where the Stop WOKE Act happened. This is where, again, I live in Orlando. This is a company town that Ron DeSantis decided to take on the Walt Disney Corporation is the second biggest city in Orlando, and it's a company town, and he took on the employer.Holden Thorp (00:51:32):It doesn't make a whole lot of political sense, but I think it was all part of his national political ambitions. And down at the base of this was this all strange anti-vax stuff. Now I got my first vaccines down here. I went to public places that were organized by the Army Corps of Engineers that were at public properties. It was at a community college here in Orlando, was extremely well organized. I had no problem. I was there 10 minutes, got my vaccines. It was extremely well organized but at the same time, the guys on TV saying the vaccine's not any good. And he hires this person, Joseph Ladapo, to be his Surgeon General, who I think we would both say is an anti-vaxxer. I mean he just recently said that you didn't need to get a measles vaccine and then in the last couple of days said, if you're unvaccinated and you have measles, you don't have to quarantine for 21 days. Now really would be disastrous if measles came back. You know a lot more about that than I do but I'm a generation that had a measles vaccine and never worried about measles.Holden Thorp (00:52:59):So the part of it that I worry about the most is that this person, the Surgeon General, also has a faculty appointment at the University of Florida. And you can see how he got it because his academic resume has been circulated as a result of all of Florida's public records laws and he has a very strong, credible resume that would probably cause him to get tenure at a lot of places. The medical faculty at Florida have tried to assert themselves and say, we really need to distance ourselves from him, but the administration at the University of Florida has not really engaged them. Now, I did ask them last week about the measles thing. I was going to write about it again, and I wrote to them and I said, if you guys aren't going to say anything about what he is saying about the measles, then I'm going to have another editorial.Holden Thorp (00:54:05):And they sent me a statement, which I posted that you probably saw that they still didn't condemn him personally, but they did say that measles vaccination was very important, and it was a fairly direct statement. I don't know if that will portend more stronger words from the University of Florida. Maybe now that their president is somebody who's close to the governor, they'll feel a little more comfortable saying things like that. But I think the bigger issue for all of us is when we have academic colleagues who say things that we know are scientifically invalid, and this always gets to the whole free speech thing, but in my opinion, free speech, it is within free speech to say, yes, all these things about vaccines are true, but I still don't think people should be compelled to get vaccinated. That's an opinion. That's fine. But what's not an opinion is to say that vaccines are unsafe if they've been tested over and over again and proven to be effective.Academic FreedomHolden Thorp (00:55:24):That's not an opinion. And I personally don't think that that deserves certainly to be weighted equally with the totality of medical evidence. I think that it's within bounds for academic colleagues and even institutions to call out their colleagues who are not expressing an opinion, but are challenging scientific facts without doing experiments and submitting papers and having lots of people look at it and doing all the stuff that we require in order to change scientific consensus. And this happens in climate change in a very parallel way. I mean, it's an opinion to say the climate is changing, humans are causing it, but I still don't think we should have government regulations about carbon. I think we should wait for the private sector to solve it, or I don't think it's going to have as bad of an effect as people say. Those are policy debates that you can have.Holden Thorp (00:56:28):But alleging that climate scientists are falsifying their projection somehow when they're not is in my opinion, not covered by free speech. And I think the best evidence we had of this is this recent verdict with Michael Mann, where it was the people who were criticizing him were found to be defamatory when they said that he committed research fraud. They could say he's exaggerating the threat. They could say they could dislike his style. He does have a very bombastic style. They can say all kinds of things about their opinions about him personally but if you accuse him of committing research fraud, and the paper that was in question was one of the most highly litigated papers of all time. It's been investigated more times than you can count. That's not something that's protected by free speech because it's defamatory to say that, and the jury found that. I think we have a lot of work to do to get within our own world, our colleagues, to get their arms around these two forms of debate.Eric Topol (00:57:51):Right. Well, I think this is, again, another really important point you're making during the pandemic parallel to the Michael Mann climate change case is that leading universities, as we recently reviewed in a podcast with Jonathan Howard, who wrote a book about this leading universities like Stanford, UCSF, Johns Hopkins and many others, didn't come out about the people that were doing things, saying things that were truly potential public harm. Not like you're saying, expressing an opinion with the truth, but rather negating evidence that was important to keep people protected from Covid. This is a problem which is thematic in our discussion I think Holden, is that universities have to get with it. They have to be able to help not put things on the credit card, be very transparent, direct quick respond, and not hide behind worried about social media or journalists or whatever else. This has been an incredible discussion, Holden, I got into even more than I thought we would.Eric Topol (00:59:15):You're a phenom to defend the whole science landscape that is challenging right now. I think you would agree for many reasons that we've discussed, and it affects education in a very dramatic, serious way. I want to thank you all that you're doing at Science with your team there to lead the charge and stand up for things and not being afraid to stimulate some controversies here and there. It's good for the field. And so, I hope I didn't miss anything and this exhaustive, this is the longest podcast I've done on Ground Truths, I want you to know that.Holden Thorp (00:59:59):Well, I'm flattered by that because you've had some great people on, that's for sure. And thank you for all you're doing, not just in science, but to spread the word about all these things and bring people together. It means a lot to all of us.Eric Topol (01:00:15):Oh, much appreciated. And we'll convene again soon to discuss so many dimensions of what we just have been reviewing and new ones to come. Thanks very much.Holden Thorp (01:00:25):Okay. Always good talking to you.*******************************************************Thanks for listening or reading this episode of GT.Please share if you found this podcast informative.Ground Truths is open-access.

The American Roulette's predecessor is “iAmElection”, a Chinese-language podcast created by Tianlong You, Talich, Yao Lin, and Qiaoy Zhuangi in 2015. The podcast brought together a group of scholars, lawyers, media veterans, observers and enthusiasts who care about American politics. At the height of its popularity, it was featured in the New York Times, and attracted an estimated 70,000 audience who listened each month. For the 2020 election, Talich and others relaunched the podcast as "美轮美换" with 16 new episodes. In 2023, as the new round of U.S. presidential election is about to begin, we're building on the legacy of “iAmElection” and “美轮美换” to launch a new podcast that we hope will become your go-to American Politics podcast.

Harvard and elite institutions like it have been in the news a lot lately. Following the outbreak of war in Gaza, three university presidents — Liz Magill, Claudine Gay, and Sally Kornbluth — testified in a congressional hearing about antisemitism on campus. And since that hearing, two of those three presidents have resigned from their posts. But the criticism of inadequate responses to antisemitism — and the accusations of plagiarism — are just the tip of the iceberg. Weeds host Jonquilyn Hill sits down with the Atlantic's Adam Harris to discuss.  Read More: An Existential Threat to American Higher Education — The Atlantic   Republicans are weaponizing antisemitism to take down college DEI offices — Vox  The State Must Provide: Why America's Colleges Have Always Been Unequal—and How to Set Them Right (Hardcover) | Loyalty Bookstores  Submit your policy questions!

“Good Morning, Good News” News Director Greg Taylor talks with Hope and Harbor Executive Director, Liz Magill about their Homeless Shelter in Red Wing and the services they provide, along with partners in the community.

Los ataques que Hamas perpetró el pasado 7 de octubre en el sur de Israel y la subsiguiente guerra en Gaza han creado infinidad de problemas en los campus universitarios estadounidenses. Durante el mes de noviembre se convocaron manifestaciones de protesta contra Israel que devinieron abiertamente antijudías. En el curso de las mismas se llegó incluso a reclamar el genocidio de todos los judíos. Los estudiantes judíos se sintieron señalados y trataron de esconderse ante la ira de los manifestantes. Ante semejante pogromo las autoridades académicas no hicieron nada, dejaron hacer a los manifestantes y evitaron tomar medidas disciplinarias, algo que sin duda hubiese sucedido en el caso de que en esas manifestaciones se hubiera reclamado, por ejemplo, la eliminación de los afroamericanos o de los hispanos. Eso ocasionó que a principios de diciembre la Cámara de Representantes nombrase una comisión para estudiar el caso y solicitar la comparecencia de las rectoras de las tres universidades en las que estas manifestaciones habían demostrado mayor radicalismo. Acudieron a la cámara las rectoras de la Universidad de Harvard, Claudine Gay, la de Pensilvania, Elizabeth Magill, y la del Instituto de Tecnología de Massachussets, más conocido como MIT, Sally Kornbluth. En el curso de la sesión la representante republicana por Nueva York, Elise Stefanik, preguntó a las rectoras si pensaban tomar medidas frente a lo que había sucedido en sus respectivos campus y si estaban dispuestas impedir que se volviese a pedir un genocidio dentro de la universidad. Las tres rectoras divagaron, evadieron la cuestión y se escudaron en la libertad de expresión esgrimiendo peregrinos argumentos legales. Argumentos que, por descontado, serían inaceptables con cualquier otra minoría étnica. La comparecencia en el Congreso no hizo más que empeorar las cosas. Tanto republicanos como demócratas mostraron su repulsa por la actitud de Gay, Magill y Kornbluth. El escándalo político estaba servido y también cierto movimiento dentro de estas instituciones, en las que están matriculados muchos estudiantes judíos y reciben generosas donaciones por parte de exalumnos judíos. Se ha pedido ya la dimisión de las rectoras. Unos días más tarde de la comparecencia renunció al cargo Liz Magill, de Pensilvania, en Harvard, sin embargo, el órgano rector de la universidad, la llamada Harvard Corporation, dio a Claudine Gay un voto de confianza. Por ahora se mantiene en su puesto, aunque no han cesado las críticas y todos dan por descontado que está pendiente de un hilo. El debate, con todo, ha ido más allá. Los defensores de las rectoras hablan de una campaña de cancelación contra ellas auspiciada por intereses proisraelíes. Los críticos señalan no sin razón que muchos discursos exaltados han quedado completamente fuera mientras que otros no menos radicales tienen vía libre y gozan de la protección de las autoridades académicas. Esa contradicción es tristemente frecuente en las universidades de nuestro tiempo, por lo que es oportuno plantearse cuáles son los límites de la libertad de expresión y los de los llamados discursos del odio. Una vez establecidos no se puede aplicar un doble rasero porque de lo contrario tendríamos una universidad ideológica en la que las ideas y opiniones circulan en una sola dirección mientras todas las demás son censuradas.

Harvard, MIT, and UPenn's presidents testified before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce last week, and the controversy over their statements regarding antisemitism on campuses has already led to UPenn president Liz Magill's ouster. As calls intensify for Claudine Gay (Harvard) and Sally Kornbluth (MIT) to resign, Ravi and Rikki parse through the outrage over the hearings and assess the state of antisemitism on today's college campuses. Corporate investors have flooded the housing market in the past couple of years, but a sweeping new bill could halt Wall Street's push into the single-family housing market. Is this a win for the progressive left, or will it end up harming more low-income families? Lastly, the Biden administration announced its plan to seize the patents of costly medications from Big Pharma. Ravi and Rikki debate whether this new push to cut high drug prices is a good idea and if the administration has the legal standing to make this happen.

Get ready to embark on an engaging exploration of the complex issue of free speech, particularly within the context of university campuses. This thought-provoking discussion is sparked by recent developments at the University of Pennsylvania, where faculty member Claire Finkelstein has proposed that speech be restricted on campus to combat antisemitism following the resignation of President Liz Magill. We unravel the intricacies of the First Amendment, calling into question its interpretation and the ambiguity of its protections. Ultimately, we argue for universities to foster a culture of free speech and intellectual debate, rather than attempting to control discourse to suit a particular narrative.In the second part of the discussion, we delve into the exceptions to the rule - situations where free speech and the First Amendment do not apply, and the types of speech that are unprotected. The conversation takes a turn into the real-life backlash faced by those who expressed opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement, revealing an interesting paradox, as those very individuals are now advocating for restricting speech on campus. We passionately advocate for the importance of maintaining a principled stand for free speech, regardless of personal views or emotions. So, if you hold any opinion that may be perceived as controversial, would you want your ability to express it to be restricted? Tune in and let the debate begin!

In het als een bosbrand om zich heen slaande antisemitisme heb je soorten en maten. Je hebt de primitieve soort, waarin de Joden, bijvoorbeeld in Rotterdam of Brussel, de schuld krijgen van het drama van de oorlog tussen Israël en Hamas. Je hebt de politieke soort, waarin Joden medeplichtig worden gehouden voor de strapatsen van Bibi Netanyahu. Je hebt de traditionele soort, waarin Joden worden afgeschilderd als de moordenaars van Jezus, de verspreiders van de pest, of de louche eigenaren van de media en de banken.  En dan heb je de intellectuele antisemieten, zoals de rectrices magnificae van de beroemde Amerikaanse universiteiten Harvard, Penn en MIT, die waren opgeroepen voor een hoorzitting in het Congres over antisemitisme op hun beroemde instituten. Net als op veel andere Amerikaanse universiteiten zijn daar voortdurend felle, pro-Palestijnse demonstraties. Dat mag, zeker in het land met waarschijnlijkst de ruimste opvatting van het begrip ‘vrijheid van meningsuiting' ter wereld. De vraag was of de demonstranten ook als intimidatie mogen scanderen ‘intifada tegen de Joden' of ‘genocide op de Joden.'  Claudine Gay van Harvard, Liz Magill van Penn en Sally Kornbluth van MIT kregen die vraag voorgelegd door Elise Stefanik, Republikeins lid van het Huis van Afgevaardigden, die zich als een roofdier op haar slachtoffers stortte. Haar vraag was simpel: verbiedt het regelement van uw universiteit de roep om genocide van Joden. Ze eiste een simpel ja of nee. In plaats daarvan luidde het antwoord dat het van de context afhing. Wat de context kan zijn voor het gedogen van een oproep tot massamoord maakten ze niet duidelijk. Liz Magill werd door haar bestuur gedwongen omslag te nemen. Sally Kornbluth bleef aan, Claudine Gay bood omstandig excuses aan.  Behalve academische ambities en het ontwikkelen van eigen inzichten, heeft een universiteit de plicht erop toe te zien dat de studenten zich veilig voelen. Dat is sinds 7 oktober voorbij. Het pleit niet voor de kennis en nieuwsgierigheid van de demonstrerende studenten, maar hun frame is dat de Israëliërs die barbaarse massaslachting en ontvoering aan zichzelf te wijten hebben. En dan komt-ie weer: Israëliërs zijn ‘de Joden.' Mag je die intimideren met het dreigement van uitmoording? Dat, zeggen de genieën van Harvard, de Universiteit van Pennsylvania en het Massachusetts Institute of Technology, hangt af van de context.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BlazeTV contributor Jaco Booyens joins the show to discuss Harvard's support for its president, Dr. Claudine Gay, who has faced allegations of plagiarizing her dissertation. In a recent announcement, Harvard stated that the school's governing body will not let Gay go, despite the resignation of leaders from other Ivy League universities, such as the University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill, who stepped down for failing to acknowledge anti-Semitism on UPenn campuses during a congressional hearing last week. Special counsel Jack Smith has urged the Supreme Court to promptly determine whether Trump is immune to prosecution for the events of January 6.

Une douzaine d'écoles visées par une enquête pour violation des droits civils ; la présidente d'Harvard, Claudine Gay, appelée à démissionner ; Liz Magill, la dirigeante d'UPenn, une autre université d'élite, déjà partie… « Les campus américains sont devenus l'arrière-garde de la guerre à Gaza », assène El Pais en Espagne. En cause, explique le journal : « les nombreuses manifestations pro-palestiniennes, et le climat d'hostilité et d'insécurité que disent ressentir de nombreux étudiants juifs. »Voilà les universités prises en étau entre la sacro-sainte liberté d'expression à l'américaine, « et la pression des employeurs et des donateurs pour que ces centres stoppent (…) toute manifestation considérée comme antisémite. »L'argent : le nerf de la guerreUPenn dispose, rappelle El Pais, « d'un budget de 21 milliards de dollars ». Pour Harvard, c'est plus du double. La fuite de donateurs « mécontents de la gestion des manifestations contre la guerre » fait donc courir un risque important à ces universités qui sont aussi des colosses économiques.En fait, analyse le Wall Street Journal en partant de l'exemple d'UPenn, les anciens élèves de renom et donateurs « se sont inspirés du monde des affaires, abordant l'univers typiquement distingué de l'enseignement supérieur comme des investisseurs activistes ». Et cela a fonctionné.C'était de toute manière couru d'avance, estime le quotidien économique : « les universités à tendance de gauche et leurs donateurs plus conservateurs suivent une trajectoire de collision depuis des années ». D'un côté, les programmes pour inciter à la diversité et les cours dits « progressistes » ; de l'autre, un conservatisme républicain agacé par le « wokisme » ambiant.Les républicains saisissent l'occasion au volC'est en tout cas l'opinion d'El Pais qui considère que les républicains se sont simplement livrés à « un exercice d'opportunisme politique. »« La cancel-culture est de retour » s'exclame de son côté le Washington Post. Avec une différence : « cette fois, les cibles sont à gauche ». « L'indignation compréhensible » face aux « réticences du camp pro-palestinien à condamner les attaques effroyables du Hamas » ont permis aux républicains, estime le titre, « de délégitimer, plus largement, le sentiment pro-palestinien ». Désormais, « quelque chose d'aussi simple que le soutien aux droits les plus basiques des Palestiniens est vu comme suspect », accuse encore le Washington Post. « Ironique », venant du camp qui pendant des années « s'est dépeint en champion de la liberté d'expression » quand il était question d'identité de genre ou de race.Cet éditorialiste nuance son propos : bien sûr, écrit-il, « pour certaines voix pro-Israël, demander à l'État hébreu d'interrompre ses opérations militaires (…) risque d'être offensant. Mais être offensant, ce n'est pas être antisémite ». Et le journal poursuit : dans un contexte d'antisémitisme grandissant, « il est dangereux d'en dévaloriser la signification. »Un camouflet pour Gérald Darmanin en FranceLe texte phare du ministre de l'Intérieur, son projet de loi immigration, a été rejeté hier, avant même de passer par la case débats. « Humiliation pour Gérald Darmanin », titre Le Soir ; « coup dur pour Macron », renchérit le Times. Car au-delà de la défaite personnelle du ministre de l'Intérieur, « ce projet » qui, écrit le journal belge, « devait être la preuve de [l]a capacité [du gouvernement] à porter des projets ambitieux malgré l'absence de majorité absolue » a finalement démontré l'exact opposé.De fait, pour Le Figaro, au-delà d'un texte de loi, « c'est la capacité à gouverner et à réformer » de la majorité qui est remise en question. « Gérald Darmanin croyait mener sa barque à bon port en alternant coups de rame à droite, et coups de rame à gauche » … à la place, il a perdu le contrôle de son navire.L'exécutif chute de sa ligne de crêteAu lieu de donner l'image d'un exécutif capable de compromis, l'équipe d'Emmanuel Macron a surtout mené une politique « contradictoire et parfois confuse », pointe le Times, tandis que le Figaro toujours estime quelques pages plus loin que les députés ont signé « l'acte de décès du "en même temps" ». Donner des gages à l'extrême droite ? Rassurer les élus de gauche ? Le gouvernement a cru pouvoir faire les deux et finit par payer « [ses] hésitations, [ses] indécisions, [ses] contradictions. »Toujours dans la presse française, Libération ne boude pas son plaisir : « n'était-il pas le plus malin, Darmanin ? » Lui qui, « avec son flair politique, son entregent et sa faculté à tricoter des deals », pensait pouvoir offrir le texte de sa carrière à la majorité et voyait la vie en rose. Finalement, le ministre de l'Intérieur se retrouve « vert après son revers. »À lire aussiFrance: l'Assemblée nationale vote le rejet du projet de loi Immigration

College campuses across the United States are embroiled in conflict over free speech amid the Israel-Gaza war. The stakes are so high that the University of Pennsylvania's president resigned after a congressional hearing on antisemitism.Read more:Last week, a Republican-led House committee summoned the leaders of Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania and MIT to Capitol Hill for a scalding critique of their efforts to address antisemitism on their campuses since the eruption of the Israel-Gaza war.During the hearing, Penn's president Liz Magill – and the other university presidents – declined to state plainly that a call for genocide against Jews would violate the university's code of conduct. Magill told Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) it would violate the school's code of conduct “if the speech turns into conduct, it can be harassment. Yes.” When pressed by Stefanik, Magill said: “It is a context-dependent decision, congresswoman.”Then, over the weekend, Magill resigned. Education reporter Hannah Natanson joins “Post Reports” to discuss what the questions raised in the committee hearing and the push for Magill's removal mean for campuses across the nation, and why the stakes are so high.

So what can you do to give your kids the education they need rather than the one the government wants them to have?Today, Sara joins us from Philadelphia as she covers the resignation of former University of Pennsylvania President.

Sketch comedy show “Saturday Night Live” was roundly mocked online this weekend for its cold open on Saturday which bizarrely targeted GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik (NY) for her questions during a recent Congressional hearing on anti-Semitism in colleges and universities, instead of the college leaders who were widely panned for their testimonies. House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik has endorsed Prasanth Reddy for Kansas's 3rd Congressional District, handing the political newcomer a coveted endorsement that could help boost his standing in the GOP primary next year. University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill has resigned as president of the university in the wake of intense backlash over her failure during a recent congressional hearing on Capitol Hill to say whether advocating for the genocide of Jews is permissible on campus. Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania received $19,772,237 in donations from Qatari and Saudi entities over the past two years, including from both nation's governments, according to data collected by the Department of Education. Vindication for two IRS whistleblowers has come on two major fronts in the past week as the Justice Department, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and President Joe Biden all look substantially worse. Indeed, Garland looks so corrupt that he should lose his job. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's show opens with some advice I wanted to give a caller from my Saturday radio show. I wanted to give a broader and more in-depth answer to a question I think a lot of you face when having conversations about the news of the day with those who don't want to expose themselves to new ideas. To help with this conversation, I suggest using all or part of Scott Adams' (Dilbert) hoax quiz to establish a level playing field. Ironically, this is a systemic problem coming out of our institutions of higher indoctrination and grooming. This leads to the events over the weekend of Liz Magill, the President of the University of Pennsylvania, and Scott Bok, Board Chair of the Board of Regents, both announced their resignations. I wish I could say they did so because they knew they were wrong. Far from it. Even in Bok's leaked resignation letter, he didn't apologize to the students or the alum. Instead, he made excuses for Magill's performance in Congressional testimony. His excuses tell you all you need to know about the culture in our academic institutions. Let's move on to Dr. Claudine Gay of Harvard. First we start with a letter penned by former alum, Bill Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square and Co-trustee. It explains how Gay is the result of a long series of decisions to embrace DEI and abandon qualified candidates and students. The culture on campus is more about driving home political messages rather than imparting actual knowledge. He then goes on to list several changes in campus since promoting her from Dean to President. To add even more insult to injury, it seems Dr. Gay is guilty of plagiarizing parts of her doctoral thesis. According to an investigation by Christopher Rufo and Chris Brunet, they identified whole paragraphs and sections lifted directly from the work of others, sometimes with just mild pronoun changes or removal of commas. While Harvard might want to ignore the climate of anti-Semitism they have created, how can they ignore something so reviled in the hall of academia as plagiarism? One person Gay stole from is Dr. Carol M. Swain (whom you should follow on X!) and Swain responded online. She said, “I just learned of Christopher Rufo's analysis of Claudine Gay's work and the allegations of plagiarism. I have not read the articles or books in question. However, two things come to mind: imitation is said to be the highest form of flattery and secondly Dr. Gay's committee, reviewers, and colleagues should have caught these alleged transgressions. I will issue a statement after I have more information. Right now it seems like she is a victim of the ‘Adversity of Diversity.'” That just so happens to be the title of her latest book detailing the issues surrounding the DEI ideology. Next, we have to pick my jaw up off the desk because over the weekend, Fareed Zakaria of CNN actually went into why our colleges are failing and did an accurate and blistering review of the past couple of decades. In short, he concludes that the only way to save them is “America's top universities should abandon their long misadventure into politics, retrain their gaze on their core strengths and rebuild their reputations as centers of research and learning.” We close with two positive news items. Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee was just humiliated in a landslide loss to State Senator John Whitmire to be the next mayor of Houston, Texas. And, Elon Musk was quoted as saying, “Media Matters is an evil propaganda machine…We are suing them in every country that they operate. And we will pursue not just the organization, but anyone funding that organization. I want to be clear about that. Anyone funding that organization, we will pursue them. So Media Matters is an evil propaganda machine, they can go to hell. I hope they do.” Both of these items started off my work week with a smile.

Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.

(2) The Prime Minister is due to answer questions at the Covid inquiry today. Last month, the government's former chief scientific officer told the hearing it was "obvious" Rishi Sunak's Eat Out to Help Out scheme would fuel the spread of the virus. (3) The S&P 500 Index will hit a record high in 2024 as the US avoids sinking into a recession, although a weaker consumer will mean the index gains less than this year's 20% surge, according to Bloomberg's latest Markets Live Pulse survey. (4) University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill and Board chair Scott Bok resigned this weekend. It comes days after Congressional testimony in which Magill declined to say that calling for the genocide of Jews always violates the university's code of conduct. (5) For decades, many of the world's richest people chose to safeguard their assets in overseas locales ranging from the Cayman Islands to Switzerland and the British Virgin Islands. But a new wealth hub is becoming wildly popular with billionaires — the skyscraper-studded emirate of Abu Dhabi.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was another Sunday morning of sometimes heated but always civil political debate on Hancock and Kelley, Sunday, December 10, 2023. John Hancock, Republican consultant, on the right and Michael Kelley, Democratic consultant, on the left, took on the following topics:St. Louis enacts an open carry ‘trigger' law to take effect immediately if/when state lawmakers allow cities to enact certain gun control measures. The new city ordinance is inspired by Missouri's abortion ‘trigger' law that banned abortion when the United States Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision. St. Louis may have an ally in Kansas City which has surpassed St. Louis by far in the number of homicides for 2023. St. Louis Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore, says he will seek a full term in 2024, after restoring criminal prosecutions in the wake of the resignation of troubled former Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner. Missouri Senator Josh Hawley unleashes fury toward fellow Republicans after the House stripped aid to victims of radiation exposure from nuclear waste dating to World War II and the United States atomic weapons program. Our quote of the week was from Harvard University President Claudine Gay, as she and executives from other elite universities appeared before Congress to face criticism for their handling of a rise in antisemitism on their campuses. The University of Pennsylvania President, Liz Magill, resigned Saturday under mounting pressure from donors and alumni. President Biden makes a rare national address from the Oval Office, pushing for tens of billions of dollars in more aid for Ukraine as it fends off an ongoing invasion from Russia. President Biden's son, Hunter, has been indicted on nine counts of alleged federal tax crimes as Republicans move forward in the impeachment inquiry of the President. Former President Trump quips that if he's elected president again, he would act as a dictator, but only for one day, as Democrats warn of Mr. Trump's past threats of retribution against his political enemies. News Nation hosted the 4th Republican Presidential debate, which Donald Trump once again skipped. There were only 4 candidates on stage this time: who stepped up and who stepped back?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

An der Klimakonferenz in Dubai hat Umweltminister Rösti die Position der Schweiz vertreten. Dabei setzte er sich für einen konsequenten Klimaschutz oder den Ausstieg aus den fossilen Energien ein. Gleichzeitig ist die Schweiz aus der Gruppe der hochambitionierten Länder ausgetreten.  Weitere Themen: Nach massivem öffentlichen Druck ist die Präsidentin der Universität Pennsylvania, Liz Magill, zurückgetreten. Ihr Verhalten in einer Anhörung des US-Kongresses zu Antisemitismus hatte Empörung ausgelöst. Welche Rolle spielt die künstliche Intelligenz im Schweizer Journalismus? Diese Woche haben sich der Schweizer Presserat und der Verlegerverband mit diesem Thema auseinandergesetzt.

Liz Magill, the University of Pennsylvania's president, isn't the only person who ought to be vacating their position against the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas war.

Dear Friends,As our title indicates, this week focuses in on the inexcusable testimony delivered by three, university presidents responding to questions brought by the House Committee on Education & the Workforce.Speaking of the “workforce,” two of these presidents, the waffling Ms. Liz Magill of the University of Pennsylvania and Claudine Gay of Harvard, may be looking for new employment soon, as “heavy” money donors are withdrawing millions in support, vigorously responding to Magill's and Gay's inability to unequivocally condemn the call for Israel's genocide on their campuses.Join us for this impassioned conversation, and feel free to leave a comment. A blessed Hanukkah to all of our Jewish friends this week, and to the nation of Israel, in particular. May you be safe. Am Yisrael chai.As always…Thank YOU for Joining US,Philip & D.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comSarah and Nancy dive into that mess of a Congressional hearing on college antisemitism. Did the three presidents — Claudine Gay from Harvard, Liz Magill from University of Pennsylvania, Sally Kornbluth from MIT — step up to the moment? They did not. But were the questions unfairly stacked? Did they make fair points about “context”? Is part of living in a diverse society the privilege — yes, privilege — of being offended? We answer these questions, as well as:* Did the Swiss Family Robinson live in a tree?* Is “It's a Small World” the most annoying song ever?* Are the ideological chickens coming home to roost on college campuses?* Can Nancy successfully include two audio clips in one episode?* Why are so many women leading Ivy League universities?* What's going on in the field of social work?* Which cat made CAT HISTORY this week?* What literary tragedy is Sarah currently obsessed with?And much more, including darkness and life lessons in our hot boxes and a banger of an outro by some lady with a cat.

Andrew and Lauren dive into navigating holiday parties with tact, offering tips on conversation starters and games to avoid making enemies. They provide a legal perspective on the Liz Magill UPenn controversy and antisemitism, while also discussing Mel Gibson's connection to 'woke' culture issues and the debate over electric wall borders. Amidst analyzing these diverse topics, the hosts bring their characteristic humor to this week's news controversies, encouraging listeners to embrace joy and avoid vitriol during the holiday season.

The University of Pennsylvania lost a $100 million donation over controversial Congressional testimony from the school's president. The powerful board of Penn's Wharton business school is calling on University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill to resign over disturbing remarks that she made this week while testifying before Congress. The moral degeneracy of the presidents of three prestigious universities who recently refused to condemn calls for genocide clearly is symptomatic of a larger problem. The long-term solution must be to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucracies and policies, root and branch, from higher education. The flag of Palestine will be raised in Downtown Fresno on Friday, according to the office of City Councilmember Miguel Arias. A group of Arabs from the Middle East and North Africa were deeply disturbed after viewing 47-minutes of Hamas's October 7 atrocities during a screening at the Israeli consulate in Boston, Massachusetts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's show opens with another example of me never getting tired of being right. I suggested on yesterday's show that Liz Magill, President of the University of Pennsylvania didn't have a change of heart because she realized how wrong she was to not acknowledge calls for genocide against Jews was against their code of conduct. Instead, I stated that the only reason she was apologizing was due to one or more alums pulling their annual gifts to the college. My show wasn't even 24 hours old when the word hit that $100 million was being pulled away from the college. It also looks like Penn is being sued on behalf of some students who were, in fact, harassed and bullies. And, we found another professor on the staff of UPenn who stated her pro-Hamas/anti-Israel beliefs. On top of that, I found a piece written in the Harvard Crimson where their president, Claudine Gay, expressed her deepest apologies for how she came across during Tuesday's testimony before Congress. The reality is, we know why they could not answer the question because if they admitted the anti-Semitic behaviors were against their code of conduct, the next question would be why they didn't do anything about it. This is the catch-22 of their own making. Next, we move to my friend Tara's weekly Top 10 News Items you probably didn't hear on your Legacy/mainstream media. One of those items, 9 new Hunter Biden indictments, is what we jump into next. Seems US Attorney David Weiss has filed 9 significant charges against Hunter in the state of California. I take time to breakdown just how much Hunter spent during a 3-year period and how he claimed to his ex-wife and child that he had no money. Joe Biden calls Hunter “the smartest man he knows” and yet this guy is as dumb as a box of rocks and two scoops of dirt. Mollie Hemingway, Editor-in-Chief at the Federalist made some additional observations and even included a friendly tip for Hunter, notably, don't admit to criminality in your memoirs before the statue of limitations has run out. We then discuss a letter Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) sent to Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) about destroying all the evidence they collected, yet found a letter indicating they gave much of that evidence to Fani Willis in Fulton County, GA for her racketeering indictments. On top of that, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent a letter to Fani Willis indicating his committee wants to see all of the collusion and documents shared between her, the J6 Committee, Special Prosecutor Jack Smith's office and the White House. The timing and collusion of all this reminded me of something former Speaker Newt Gingrich said back when the big Fani Willis indictments were announced. Finally, we close with two sillier news items. The first, according to a new law in California, if a retailer doesn't have a gender-neutral toy aisle, they will be fined $500. I have a solution for them and I think it's worth implementing state-wide. Second, remember when Kevin McCallister went to the grocery store in Home Alone? In 1990, his groceries cost $19.83. Today, those exact same items would run $72.28. Thanks, Bidenomics for making Christmas so special. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Hour 1 -  Good Thursday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill released a video Wednesday clarifying that calling for the genocide of Jewish people would, in fact, be harassment — after dodging the question the day before, in her testimony on Capitol Hill. Megyn Kelly opened the 2024 Republican presidential debate by laying out the dire state of Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' current polling numbers. Attendees spotted Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie getting into a heated discussion with the three moderators of Wednesday night's GOP presidential debate during a commercial break after being told “to enjoy a nice meal” by Vivek Ramaswamy.

Today we basically hit three topics: more fallout from the college President's who cannot explain how demanding genocide might run afoul of their harassment and bullying policies; Vivek Ramaswamy isn't going to win the nomination, but he's still the closest Constitutional candidate we have outside of Donald Trump; and, President Joe Biden just lied again about having no knowledge of Hunter's business partners or business dealings. Before we discuss Liz Magill going from thinking she was so funny tap-dancing before Rep. Elise Stefanik, to then playing TAPS for what might be the end of her career in a pathetic attempt to “explain” herself, we get an interesting report from the Wall Street Journal. An overwhelming percentage of college kids think the chant, “From the River to the Sea,” is okay. When asked to name the river, the sea or both, 53% failed. 10% thought Arafat was Israel's first president. 25% have never heard of the Oslo Accords. However, when the researches in this study gave the students a handful of basic facts about Israel and the region, 67% said they now reject the chant. It's amazing what happens when students are actually given knowledge, instead of being indoctrinated. Liz Magill could not have looked or sound more pathetic in her social media response to her testimony before Congress. Nothing she says jives with what she said the day before and it strains all credulity. It's an attempt at damage control and that's it. The only way this gets resolved is for all colleges to undergo a radical shift in their culture, away from DEI and CRT and toward, once again, educating their students. Next, we have to look at some of the most interesting sound bites from last night's GOP debate. And I am sorry to say, all of them come from Vivek Ramaswamy. To be clear, no one on the stage is going to win the nomination. They are all engaged in the debate with vim and vigor, but none of them will win the nomination. But, what Vivek is doing/saying is what I have been longing to hear from other supposed Constitution-loving politicians. It's a great exercise to break down those comments and see why primaries are so important. Finally, a reporter managed go get in a question to Joe Biden that neither he nor his handlers were expecting. Someone quoted a recent poll saying 70% of voters, including 40% of Democrats, believe Joe Biden acted illegally or at least unethically, in his son's and brother's business dealings. Biden, furious, denied it and said it was just a bunch of lies. The reporter jumped in with a follow-up about meeting with business partners and Biden, again, denied it and said it was all lies. Here's the problem. We have at least 20+ incidents that have been confirmed through visitor logs, emails, pictures, phone calls, texts and testimony that show he is the one lying. He has met with business partners and clients from 2010 until at least 2018. And, I take a moment to provide that list to you.

Meet David Magerman, a native of South Miami who went on to earn a B.S. from UPenn and a PhD in computer science from Stanford. David is an investor and a philanthropist. In terms of investing, he spent 22 years working at the quantitative hedge fund, Renaissance Technologies, which is one of the world's largest hedge funds with over $100B assets under management. After leaving Renaissance, David founded a venture capital firm called Differential Ventures. Since graduating Penn, David has made it a priority to give back to the institution. He has served on boards and has given over $5M to various initiatives. This strong commitment to the institution formally ended earlier this month when David published an open letter to UPenn's president, Liz Magill. In the letter, David makes it clear that unlike other outspoken donors, he is not calling for the current president to step-down, instead, he is simply stating he is breaking up with the university. In his interview on CNN with Jim Acosta, when asked why subsequent statements by the university didn't satisfy him, David responded, “I felt like the reaction they had at first was authentic, it represented who they were and I didn't think anything they said could change that. Their values aren't my values.” In this conversation, David and I do a deep dive into the following:His relationship to PennWhat went into his decision to write the letterWhy he believes Penn is mired in moral relativismWhy it is critical to know the values of the institutions you supportHis research into the $15-20B of undocumented gifts received by leading institutions like PennThe importance of Israel to the Jewish peopleFun round of quick fire questions where I foolishly ask a kosher person for his favorite place for a Philly cheesesteakI thank David for making the time to meet with all of us and for being a clear, intelligent and passionate voice during a time when America and the Jewish people need one.--Outro music: The Riders Of Rohan from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings (The Two Towers).

JENNIFER STEFANO JOINS DAWN TO BREAKDOWN HER LATEST INQUIRER ARTICLE: Jewish donors and allies' letters to Penn expose the moral rot in American higher education In the past two weeks, several Jewish megadonors and their allies have thunderously announced that they are pulling financial support from their alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania. The donor letters that have been made public thus far eviscerate Penn president Liz Magill and other university leaders for failing to condemn the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians as terrorism.

The Board of Visitors (BOV) met virtually in an open session before going into closed session. James Murray, the rector of the BOV, said teams at UVA have been working on the reopening plan for several months.“I think we have as well-conceived a plan as any university in America,” Murray said. “But we have to be clear… this boils down to whether or not we have compliance. This epidemic is going to be the ultimate test of our students and a test of what makes UVA a special place.” The protocol for students returning to Grounds requires a 14-day self-quarantine and states students “should not attend any large social events or interact with more than a few people (3-5) at a time.” Students must be tested for COVID-19 and those who do not comply cannot return. When classes begin, daily health checks are required as are face coverings. On Friday, Murray asked how many students might already be in Charlottesville. Provost Liz Magill. There is no clear answer. “Nearly 20,000 of our 25,000 students live in some off-campus arrangement,” said Liz Magill. “Most of the leases in Charlottesville start for August 1 or August 15. We will ask students to tell us where they are as part of the on-boarding process for students which requires them to demonstrate a negative test, comply for the contract we are writing for them to comply with.”Magill said Grounds itself is slowly “repopulating” with research activities, medical education, some graduate work, as well as athletic activity. J.J. Davis, executive vice president and chief operating officer, said plans are in place if someone contracts COVID-19. “Unfortunately we know how this virus works and some people may unfortunately get sick and in that result our highest duty of care is to those students living in our dormitories so we have successfully procured isolation and quarantine spaces for those individuals,” Davis said. “We are continuing to work on this question of if there is an off-Grounds student who has no options to safely isolate and quarantine, we are working on that issue as we speak.” Davis said UVA is working with the Virginia Department of Health on a protocol for contact tracing, but arrangements are a “work in progress.” A contract tracing mobile app put together by Google and VDH is expected to go live on August 5. A UVA specific app is expected to be ready by August 10. “We are going to be using an exposure native app that will be on every student’s phone,” Murray said. “It is one provided by Google and Apple. It could well be the most important thing that we do technologically. There is no way we are going to catch cases quickly and more comprehensively than this software is going to enable. I would love to see it in the hands of merchants, people that work around and in close contact with UVA students and faculty. We’re not there yet but it’s possible. It’s not that difficult to do. If we can actually get it in the hands of several thousand people that are those most in close contact like bartenders, those kinds of people, grocery store clerks, we can go a long way, not to prevent the disease but to catching it very quickly and catching everybody that is exposed.” Davis said there are multiple contingency plans in place if there are outbreaks. The BOV next meets on August 17. (UVA Public Health Measures page)***The Virginia Department of Health is reporting an additional 1,324 cases of COVID-19  this morning, but reports no new fatalities. The seven day average for positive tests is at 7.1 percent, down from 7.2 percent. There are 44 news cases reported in the Thomas Jefferson Health District today for a total of 1,793 to date. Of those, 17 are from Albemarle, 16 are from Charlottesville, nine are from Greene, one is from Fluvanna County and one is from Louisa.  ***The latest COVID-19 forecast model from the University of Virginia’s Biocomplexity Institute states that the surge of cases in the Thomas Jefferson Health District has abated, but warns that the Commonwealth is on track to have 13,000 new cases a week by early September. The statewide reproduction rate for the novel coronavirus is below the figure of 1, but is above 1 in far and near southwest Virginia. The model estimates that 827,377 cases of COVID-19 have been avoided since May 15. “While cases are surging in Hampton Roads, the model does not project that hospital capacity will be overwhelmed during the projection window,” reads the model. The update comes out every Friday. (model)***The Thomas Jefferson Health District is holding two COVID-19 testing events this week. One will take place on Wednesday at the Nelson Heritage Center in Arrington from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The other happens Saturday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Innovage Virginia PACE at 1335 Carlton Avenue in Charlottesville.  Both events require appointments and those can be booked at 434-972-6261. ***The Board of Trustees of the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library has voted to keep their facilities closed to the public for now, but will consider adding more curbside pickup hours. The Board met Friday in a virtual meeting and made the move to remain within Tier 4 of the library’s COVID-19 response.  ***In government meetings today, the owners of a shopping center near Forest Lakes on U.S. 29 are seeking a rezoning to allow for an expansion onto property not currently developed. The Albemarle Community Development will hold the required information meeting for the application. The property was rezoned from residential in 1989 and the current project seeks to increase the maximum building size allowed to 110,000 square feet. Currently a maximum of 71,800 is allowed and there is only 14,778 square feet left. (rezoning narrative)“This rezoning application seeks to increase the allowable square footage on this property and to amend the application to allow for something that is different from suburban strip mall design,” reads the narrative for the proposal. The Albemarle Comprehensive Plan designated the land as “urban mixed-use community center.” (meeting access information)The virtual meeting begins at 6 p.m. The land is within the coverage area of the Places29-North Community Advisory Committee. Charlottesville City Council meets at 6:30 p.m. for what should be a shorter meeting than the July 20 meeting, which lasted until 2:30 in the morning. The main item on the agenda is an appropriation of  $15,263,257.41 for the Belmont Bridge replacement, a project that has been in the planning stages for at least ten years. The entire Belmont Bridge project now has a cost of $31.1 million, and $13 million of that is expected from the city. That includes a $5 million payment in the current year’s capital improvement program (CIP), $2.5 million in next year’s CIP and $4.8 million in other funds the city has saved for the project.  The city is currently negotiating right of way for the project and construction could begin next spring. (July 20 update)Following that item, the CEO of Jaunt will present Council with an update on his agency’s pilot project to deliver on-demand transit within the region. Brad Sheffield presented that information to the Board of Supervisors on July 15. ***Thanks for reading or listening. If you learned something from this service, please send it on to a friend.
