The Congressional Hearing Heard Round The World–How Elise Stefanik Brought Down Harvard | The Brief

Elise Stefanik joins host Shabbos Kestenbaum to break down the troubled state of elite higher education—from campus antisemitism after Oct. 7 to foreign funding, and why she says universities aren’t “entitled to U.S. taxpayer dollars.”

Stefanik takes us inside the “hearing heard round the world” and explains why her question—“Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate your university’s code of conduct?”—sparked a national firestorm.

We also dig into:
Qatar’s role in U.S. universities and the “strings attached” to foreign dollars
Foreign student visas and why Stefanik calls them “a privilege, not a right”
Trump’s executive order + federal funding leverage to force campus reform
Congress standards amid the Eric Swalwell / Tony Gonzales controversies
