Those little things really help us out and they help our channel continue to grow. There has been a lot of talk about the resignation of now former Harvard President, Claude

deemed gay. Now, there was controversy about her ever since her comments that many people

deemed to be anti-Semitic when she testified before Congress. And a lot of people think that's

the impetus for removing her. A lot of other people say she wasn't qualified to begin with

and she was a DEI hire. Other people say she's only being forced out because she's a black

female and that if it was a white male, the same thing wouldn't happen, even though a white female

did resign from another university that was at the center of that controversy. at the end of the day claudeine gay got caught with a lot of plagiarism charges and that's ultimately what led to her demise now was harvard looking for an excuse to get rid of her and they used that i don't know but sean

hannity and his guest dr cornell west they got into it on the issue of race it's it's going to be a fantastic watch

wanting to listen to both men and i'm going to show you that clip right now so before i let you go please make sure you like comment share and subscribe

I'm Carmine Sabia 4 Explained America. We love you guys. God bless you

Take care, everybody. All right, as we have been covering Harvard President Claudine Gay resigned this week

amid serious allegations of anti-Semitism, multiple allegations of plagiarism. Take a look at your screen

Here's an example of alleged plagiarism discovered by the Harvard Crimson. And here's yet another example uncovered by the Washington Free Beacon

and these are just a few of the close to 50 total allegations of plagiarism made against the Harvard president

That President Gay Now yet many on the left they are insisting that Claudine Gay was forced to resign for no reason and was the victim of racist attacks including my next guest Dr Cornell West who tweeted after gay resigned

quote, how sad but predictable that the same figures and forces enabling the ethnic cleansing

and genocidal attacks on Palestinians in Gaza, Akman, Blum, Summers, and others push out

the first black woman president of Harvard. This racism against both Palestinians and black people is undeniable and despicable

and I have experienced similar attacks from the same forces in academia

and too many of my colleagues remaining silent. And when big money dictates university policy and raw power dictates foreign policy

the moral bankruptcy of American education and democracy looms large, but we shall remain strong in our fight for truth, justice, and love

Well, my friend, former friend, I don't know if we're friends anymore. Dr. Cornell West, I mean, you always call me Brother Hannity, and I know you teach divinity

but Dr. West, really? This is really beneath you. If you don't mind me being very blunt, for you to go to the race card and say that Dr. Gay was pushed out because of race

That's not why she was pushed out. You know the code of conduct as well as anybody at Harvard

You almost got tenure at Harvard. You understand it well. And you know that if similar comments about the elimination or genocide of any, quote, identity group, African Americans, people in the LGBTQ plus community

if any of these comments that were made against the Jewish people were made against other groups

you would not be saying that's racism. And she had a moment where she could have stood out and strongly condemned it and not supported it and not said, well, it depends on the context

She would still be president today. Why did you, why did you sink to this low and claim racism

Well, I didn't sink to that level, though. Brother let me tell you exactly what I said And I hope you understand this very clearly No but I know Sister Gay she doesn have an anti bone in her body

She didn't speak strong enough. I had a critique of that in the Boston Globe

It was a weak response at the Congressional Committee, but does that mean that she's anti-Semitic

It doesn't mean she ought to resign. You know and I know there's been attempts to impose tremendous pressures on universities

with big money donors dictating various conditions under which they will give, and there's

been attempts to reshape universities. Now, you and I know there's orthodoxies in the universities, that I'm against all orthodoxies

There's no doubt about that. But the very notion that you think it was about plagiarism, that's window dressing

Lawrence Tribe plagiarized from Peter J. Abrams much more than she did, and he remained a prize professor

at Harvard Law. Doris Curne's plagiarized. There's a whole host of folk

who plagiarized and don't get this kind of vicious treatment. When she says in her notes

she's called the N-word a zillion times, racial animus, death threats, people coming at her

with white supremacist's attack and bombardment. Cornell. That's what she said. You're going to say it has nothing to do with race

has nothing to do with race, brother? Come on, come on. You know me a long time

I condemn anybody that ever said anything racist about her or to her or threatened her. That cannot exist. You're hearing that directly

from me. But what you're saying here is not what you're addressing. That means you criticize

the people who were trashing her. You criticize the people who were trashing her. No, no, no. You said it was racism that resulted in her being removed. Now, also, if you believe

in rigorous academic standards, there are up to 50 allegations of her plagiarizing

Now, if a student of yours plagiarized something, I would imagine they'd probably get an F

I would imagine they might even be brought up for disciplinary action maybe even kicked out of school But the reason that she should have been disciplined here and I don call for firings is because her answer was pathetic Antifada from the river to the sea they talking

about eliminating an entire group of people. That should be unacceptable, and you should be

leading that charge, not blaming the people that were angered by her remarks. I stand against any

genocide, brother. I stand against the genocide. If you are brothers and sisters. I stand against the genocide of black people. I stand against

the genocide of Jews. But I also stand against the genocide of Palestinians. And it is no

accident that some of the same people who were behind pushing her out. Akman himself

Summers himself, whole host of Bloom and others who have been against affirmative action

They also won't say a mumbling word about the genocide against Palestinians

So when you tell me, you're concerned about genocide. Have you said a mumbling word about the genocide

Please me. Have you said a word against the Palestinian? I'll tell you right now

The genocide Palestinian? Had the elected groups had the elected leaders had the elected leaders in Gaza not committed the act of murder and terror against 1,400 Israelis, which would be the equivalent of 40,000

Which would be the equivalent of 40,000 Americans. Let me tell you something

If anyone killed 40,000 Americans in a day, I would want to fight and win the

the war. They started that fight. They're the ones that you would want

innocent people as human shields. They had their headquarters under a hospital. 10,000 children in two months, brother

You come from an Irish people who've been treated. What do you want? What do you expect Israel to do? What do you expect

Israel was a victim of terror and you are blaming the victim

And you end the occupation. You end the siege and end the occupation

Excuse me. It's not a, occupation. Israel has not occupied Gaza for many. I haven't been in there for many years

Oh, no, no, no. We need a seminar, brother. No, you, you, no, no, you live in Kukoo land

You live in..
