The by demonstration has begun the process of exploring ways to undo new title nine regulations put in place under Secretary of Education Betsy divorce. These regulations required colleges to provide basic due process protections to students facing allegations of sexual misconduct, protection such as the presumption of innocence and the right to know the evidence against you. These are things we take for granted, but before these new rules or pass their shockingly rare on college campuses, divide, ministrations, move, reverse progress and allow campuses to reestablish their politically motivated kangaroo court. One nonprofit called fire spent lesson.
Ok front and centre in the fight to guarantee students rights on campus. Now, their fighting by demonstrations attempts to undo hard one gains for camp is freedom to stand up for fundamental rights and learn more about fires work. I encourage you to joint fires efforts today at the fire dot org t h, e fired dot, org a generation of students will thank you
Do we need a January six Commission is Chris COM
a journalist and should Nicole
Jones get ten year will discuss all this and more on this edition of the editors, I'm rich, Lorraine, I'm joint is always by the right honourable Chelsea, W Cook and Madeline Mattie Kerns you'll seemed to national podcast.
Bothers this episode. Are the American Council trustees alumni and Tommy John Underwear more about them in due course, felicitous protest on national you dot comically threat,
we on the corner were delighted to have. You would be easier for you and better for us. You made as part of your feet in his dream. Is services out there from Spotify to Itunes like what you hear here, please
Sid are giving us a glowing five star view on Itunes. If you don't like what you hear here, please forget, I said
anything- and this is a very special episode contractually all here together.
We haven't seen one another in more than a year were here
Ash Review Institute event the Green,
in West Virginia, so welcome. Mattie welcome, Charlie, thank you
without excited to to
the only Simon, I guess it's Elzevir year or the year. I was very sorry to hear our eye so Mattie we have this contention over whether there should be a January six commission democracy is absolutely necessary to get to the bottom of what they are
call called the insurrection. That's the only reference only whether ever refer to events on January six, you have Republicans resistant saying either. This is a democratic applaud,
halting or be politicized and or is not necessary, because you have all sorts of other investigations going on on the hill conducted by various congressional committees. What do you make them, so? The pint of investigation, I would think, is to establish facts that have not yet been established. So there are actually a few standing things that would be good to know, for example, hated the writers,
the building was it. Somebody came to lose your life and who you were the organizers, pain this, of course, in order to pursue the facts. In that way, pursuing fact has to be your aim and, as you mentioned, the Democrats seem to be pursuing a narrative and not narrative is it. This was a terrible coup.
For assault on democracy, and so really the only chance that I think we would have gained anything reliable would be if this was truly by partisan and I'm just not convinced that that is the way this is gonna. Go. I mean averages, remember watching generous exit in horror, as I am sure we all did not not least because I thought great. This is this: is it the gift? That's gonna, keep on giving we're gonna hear of it hey. This is some. This is proof that the Donald Trump wasn't
the wrecking Borg instead, democracy and all the rest of it? Of course, I'm I'm open to that theory. However, I have to say my impression- and I would be interested in- and the facts of course, but my initial impression was this was a bunch of very lost and dangerous people. Deadly lost and industry will behaving as Lawson dangerous people do
thugs vandals, and maybe there is a mastermind plot behind a less. If so, let's hear about it, but we really have to Europe that, by following the facts draw I was pool by January six and continued to be, and I'm pulled by the reluctance of many in the Republican Party to admit that it happened and in so far as opposition to this commission is bound together with denial, its
a problem and it is bound up with that denial. Ass was the removal of least Cheney from the number three position within the party in the house
I am less bothered by opposition to a commission per se. First off. I am not convinced that we need a commission here. We know what happened and why seconds. I think it is undeniable
all that. The Democrats want this s, an election issue, and you don't have to take my word for that. You just have to read James Cargo interview in vocs in which he says that Democrats should spend the next two years time this around Republicans nags, I'm also sceptical of commissions per se as the libertarian I dont tend to
like the consequences. If commissions, there is a luxury for legislation. What why,
there is already a lot of talk about applying this sort of infrastructure that we built up after nine eleven domestically
over and over again, we ve been told the greatest threat to the United States is from domestic insurrectionists and right wing militias.
And I dont think that will end well for american civil liberties and ass. A result.
I'm always nervous when I hear that the commission is being formed is another one at the moment on packing the Supreme Court,
Does the tendency is to look at the commission say. My goodness me here is a problem. Let's find a wife fixing an and we tend not to fix. The problem is with the things that we don't know largely have to do with that,
police response, the National Guard, when is the actual, when requests actually made for the national guard? Wasn't national guard their faster? Wasn't there from the beginning and just seem so the capital police haven't been very forthcoming and weed.
It's just still astonishing to me. I don't understand why we didn't know what killed off their sickness and talk.
Months later, when this is like a highly relevant matter to the controversy over that over.
And there is also the question of what tromp was doing
which I think we can know what he was doing. He was watching on tv and was not particularly appalled and only said. The only called on his honest people to stand down you're too late and in under pressure. But unlike rational committees, can on earth is constantly on the wily special committee yeah. It's is also just just stand back from January, safe. Obviously, political violence is a very serious thing in a very serious threat will clean federally but it, but we do having instances political violence happen against people on the right is well say, and I think that it just betrays what the real motive here is when, for a provocative push for ok, yeah, absolutely lights, investigate this, but there's a number of other aid standing and things Dipper choir, similar
scrutiny and bade they're. Just completely maniacal obsessed with this one event and ass Charlie say it is really about election tragedy fails. The thing is that there is a lot of silliness in all political discussion of generous and are not convince. The commission will make a better report.
Intervening, strewn, city and dishonest. Some of them have said it didn't
Like a riot me like tourists, did it
Well, if that's normal, is it and some people
I have said that it was no different than the protests law
some which is not true, because it was tied to a man who was at the time, president of the United States, trying to encourage his vice president to overturn
the Constitution Lauder, but equally
when Alexandria, Ocasio Cortez says she did. I think yesterday that sixty
in its more and the United States would now be in May on them
the law. We
we ve lost our minds. I dont even know what the what the mechanism,
for that is, unless she thinks that secretly, all republican voters
are waiting for a signal to overturn the american constitutional order and and
But- and my worry with a commission would be that, rather than being
driven by the report, means of the World
an the clover Charles, if the world it would be driven by the worst republican grandstand is and the worst democratic grandstand is, who hope
to make campaign videos they can show in their deep blue, deep red districts,
since we are on the excusing away what happened on January six, it is true that the later entrance into the capital did sort of some of them kind of seemed to say. Think think this is just kind of
happening there and some doors you could see. Actually the cops kind of welcoming an innate, they were some of them honouring the velvet
hope lie just like
Can videos of other rotunda but
the vanguard. Was there with purpose very determined and wage to pitch battle with the cops to to gain entry. Broke windows broke down doors to gain entry, so to characterize. Those folks is just tourist, is completely insane and counter to the reality and and there's just as it is kind of like moral application
on the right for any responsibility, trumps, responsibility, but then also on on the left, there's just as just totally cynical. So there is also a question of what would this achieve AG, given that all this information find out exactly what happened is primarily in the public interest. We're not just doing this to amuse the political class. We're doing this, because its at valuable public information and with with the public actually have conflict
and occasionally this given how unreliable sites are, I mean. I know there is talk of fear. The even split you'd have five members appointed by Republicans five by Democrats. It ain't the chairman would be a democrat pointy, which sadly favours it and not duration, and is Asia by Parson Investigation actually possible, given how far apart the given the gulf between an agreement just on on
where the facts in are hour even pursuing fact, exquisite new, you, Charlie Cook, there will be a genuine six commission, yes or no. I don't think so.
Since we did in the Senate, who say no, no, they will not be a January six commission with that was Bosnia.

they run all dot or so Charlie Cook. The Cuomo scandal grows with it. Just there
every week or sell, there's another revelation about either Andrew or Chris. Yesterday recording on a Friday, we had the news that Chris Cuomo was advising his brother and not just you know, call but
the two of them, hey bro. You know what's goin on how can count what? How would you define
he's sexual harassment allegations in the calls to resign. He was on calls involving,
formal advisers to the governor,
Oh no world is remotely appropriate for someone who spoke supposed to be
a journalist and a journalist on the network that most prides itself
of for better or worse on on being in
actual straight news organization.
I don't know what he has to do to get fired and he faked a quarantine during covert. He got special treatment. Thanks to his brother, there was a piece in, I believe the Washington Post yesterday confirming that stories much worse and looked at the time that a lot of people in Albany seem to have special treatment.
Once again everything they accuse designed to solve its true Burma. He gave softball interviews to his brother for months. Call him the love Gov.
And now it turns out that, although he is not allowed to talk about this sexual harassment story, because apparently he's too close to his brother to be objective about this, but not close enough with his brother to have an objective, a cheap problem,
uncovered he's been helping him behind the scenes and I didn't go to journalism school judging by what comes out of it. I'm quite pleased about that, but I think not making yourself. The story is one of the items you are told more than that
not being involved in the defence, for teams in the story seems to be a basic, and this is rude. But what does he.
Provides that is so invaluable as to warrant
in a way with this to see it was you provide CNN right, it's not as if he
veiled Watergate or is particularly eloquent oars frankly, particularly well informed
He's a lawyer who doesn't know much about the law. He is adjourned
He doesn't know much about
journalism is an American. It doesnt know much about America. I am baffled by his continued presence at the network. Yes, Mary, he says. Look. I love my family in my life. My family comes first
but it's you can still love your brother and and recognise that, given your role, this news network, that its inappropriate bought, provide advice on this matter, certainly advice on a call involving his staff and the whole thing is just totally shameless, but I think it is also shameless of CNN too. I did this continued pretence of objectivity, so obviously people have viewpoints, and I certainly don't pretend to know have a dog in and in fact I have
point and I buy. I do think that, as a journalist, you're you're viewpoint can influence the questions you ask, but it shouldn't influence the answers that you think Andy and, of course, he's different. No because as turning points like he's supposed to be an objective news guy and he's anything, but I haven't front of me: I see an n right up of this whole affair, which is prolongs the verdict,
this and it has a and the revelation that cool had. This is just from the report. The revelation to cool had devices butter back staffers inside CNN, multiple CNN staffer said they were bothered by common conduct and the violation of traditional journalistic standard and has standalone paragraph journalists typically do not engage in politics so that they can cover than using an impartial manner, and you just think like this is just absurd. You're you're reporting on yours. Your own network, you reporting on or on an anchor who was involved with these, brought think that this is why people to entrust the media. Ok, because.
Smacks of hypocrisy and it just smacks of of the complete opposite of objectivity and there's this total shamelessness in ITALY, because eight words like an appropriate- and I apologise for this- came across and it's like no like either. You just have to abandon the pretence and saint link where total, like path,
we haven't agenda, we really
care, whether you know
logical, my voice behaving and is excellent.
But we really don't care whether our anchor.
Was, was engaging in completely journalist, sickly, inappropriate behaviour. We just caring about for advancing our course
If you just said that I would actually have more respect. So what
make many of us that the question of how hypocritical this is on an meet you stuff, because scene and obviously at every other allegation, is the default always to the woman should be believed and utterly Chris Coma said to her in these cases,
sure. That's basically what he said as well and then assume it hits close to home Chris Cuomo is, is all about just denying and stone wine,
full Don Corleone levy. This. This brings home just once again that the tyranny of your truth, nitrates stuff, which typically, we think of in regards to fear that the victim
So we think enough, if it's a liberal women like accusing conservative man, then that's gonna go one way, but if it's inside just politically neutral or prepared conservative women accusing illiberal man, that's gonna go another way.
And pages again underscores the unseen seriousness of meeting, which is not really about what it purports to be. There is much more about politicking, and that's one thing for politicians to engage in that, and is another thing for supposedly objective
journalists engaging and also, we know what Chris Cromer said about Cavanaugh because he said on television, so he said that,
presumption of innocence was devalued construct in a court of law, but didn't apply in politics.
And yet here he is telling his brother to stick it out when he thought that Cavanaugh
Zira tasted by being called a gang rapists. Anyone would be had disqualified himself by denying the charge is vehemently and that that means is a real failing on commerce part that goes beyond journal.
As the person said, Jim Gary try had it good point in the morning job today. Were it points out that rightly,
Liberals are critical in mystified by how loyal Samir Republican started down trunk, given his manifest failings, but here's Andrew Cuomo, who made this disastrous policy mistake at the outset of the pandemic. Clearly cost lives covered it up, get an enormous book. It
and you five million dollars for book. The basically didn't sell on false premise that he was a hero of the poor.
Denmark has his sexual harassment allegations clearly something there. You know whether every single ways allegations is true. We can't nobody pattern suggest what kind of guy he is
Yet he has seventy one percent prove rating among Democrats in New York state. They just don't most Democrats in Europe. This is doctor.
And- and I think this is why it's not especially effective when democrats try to shame conservatives over Trump, and I am not a fan of Donald Trump. I never was like a lot of what he did.
And but I'm in a minority in the Republican Party and Democrats often point to that and say: look you have this guy who's behaved so badly and said so many times
things and accused of sexual assault and look at his approval. Writing
you think, while yeah, ok, so fat criticism. But actually what will probably looking at is the product of net.
If polarization and rank partisanship, because once you get into new york- and you ask Democrats about Cuomo, you see a similar phenomenon. So I just
Not I'm not sure that that reputation,
nothing is going to work when, when its apparent on both sides, I understand that he was never going to want to do this, but if governing north in Virginia had resigned and said, okay and the party had said, we won't stand for if Chris Cromer had resigned and said, okay and the parties, everyone stand for the Democrats. Vat should be enough
the strong position, because they would be able to points it Republicans and say we take care of our issues and you don't
That was the original justification for throwing out frank and under the bus who now must feel like that, the most foolish guy in an american politics gap to be fair to the Democrats. They did do without Franklin and they did it on,
a far less justifiable basis than they
be getting rid of Roma, but they haven't kept it out when it really mattered.
I also wouldn't have done in Minnesota of the governor of Minnesota were publicly on our feet were red state, but I said that, but that doesn't defend,
Anything Republicans. Do it just sort of points out that one of the reasons that we're having so much trouble at the moment getting rid of the people in our politics here
bad news.
No one on either side is interesting. So many
it's to you, which Cuomo be the first to be ousted or quit Andrew Cuomo Chris Cuomo, neither
Drawing nigh the crisscross. Much more likely to get an answer is clearly is neither

out so Mattie. Currently another controversy go in this week. Nicole,
Jones denied ten
I'm looking for New York Times headline of about this
story, and it is the cold panic. Jos deny tenure at the University of North Korea.
This makes it sound, like she's, been
your way up the ladder it at you and see you know she is associate, prefer
It shows a graduate in structure than associate professor and theirs is this huge career commitment, she's methods in teaching
you and see what is actually she was picked out of the blue Ocean, say the blue she'd. She had to apply for this position.
Involving course, race and investment.
Journalism that would have instantly been a tenure position there,
Objections to this theme board of Councillors, a board of trustees on an exact term objective
and now she's not going to get this position, what to make of it. Yes, source
gonna get five year contract worse, which which is significant in the New York Times, as many others are buried the lead there. But if of course, her objection to this is that is unprecedented. Somebody in this position would normally begin tenure, and so many of her defenders have been quick to to say that the reason is unprecedented is because she's, a woman of color and, of course, because we lack coming but, but actually, I think, is unprecedented because appointing somebody lake punishments in this position is unprecedented
She is a highly controversial figure. I was busy historian. I wouldn't want to go that far and she's she's controversial, not because of the subjects on which she takes on, as, as can be the case, she's controversial
because there are serious people who think that our work is not of quality.
And a and is actually a moral, because it sort of such bad quality. With such a serious topic, and it's not just people like us, you know conservatives and completely, but this is also other Pulitzer Prize Winning historian. So Gordon would aunt Jimsie fares and many people have said that she's she's done this unbalanced ones.
It came left most of the history out and I think when you have something like that, and you made the decision to offer them a position and there's huge controversy surrounding it and
You don't actually yet no that's gonna play out because, as you say, it's not like she worked up a neat, their supervision that is kind of unprecedented and therefore I think it's totally reasonable to save what we're going to give you this generous five years and in fact, what we see
we can be renewed and until the tenure and and if not, then we at least we're not stopped with you. So
I think I think it's too makes total sends an makes more sense than than the decision it to actually higher her, but at the same time it's just inevitable, unfortunately, with the state of our politics that this would in
can we be rationalized ass, a Troy, obviously her things for peace. Work is tendentious at Boston and I think, is reasonable to describe as completely dishonest, but that the left is portraying this as a cancellation.
She had the the immediate academic authorities at question here, thought she passed with flying colours and was completely suited for this position, and I got squashed by higher ups, acting on the basis of of politics and on their dislike for her point of view, but she wasn't cancelled. She got a five year guarantee contract. I wouldn't have higher in the first place, not just because she put out an embarrassing and destructive
non history, but because she's terrible to everyone who criticise her she's unprofessional, she's unpleasant. She was hired a now she's had her contracts extended. I don't see the issue. The criticisms of the cor had a Jones have not even sat neatly in the viewpoint Discrimination Box. It's not have viewpoint that the university,
Oh, how critics are looking at its her work. There is no shortage in this country of people whose viewpoint is the United States. Is a white supremacist nation that its history is a big lie, but the animated feature of politics is right:
show animals. They reason she came in for so much opprobrium was because her work.
Shoddy uneasily dismantled and she,
has been extremely well rewarded for that shoddy work. She has a Pulitzer prize, has a genius ground,
and now she has five year guaranteed.
Try to university. I simply
Understand the criticism here,
suppose I am less attached to the concept of tenure than many others. I frankly don't think it is a good idea in general to give people lifetime appointments or put them in a position
in which they can't be fired. The arguments made in favour of ten years, similar to the one this maiden favours lifetime judicial appointments, which is independence, but there is a considerable difference between those two things and
If we are to have ten year, I think the last person is short
journalist who pretend to be a historian and lashes out at anyone who disagrees with them
so that is not a controversy going on is mere Lightfoot Chica,
go said she was going to only grant interviews two black or brown, a journalist,
to mark the anniversary of her, not migration. What she said clothes, I'm thinking on this one day when we're looking at the time.
You're an anniversary of mine inauguration as a woman of color as a lesbian, is important to me,
Diversity is put front and centre. Of course by
she's only gonna talk school, one segment of divided by race
account categorize by rays of journalist, us away her to honour the so called diversity? I just knew I'd I'd. I've really just didn't understanding what world this is. Not racism you're going too early to say this. The whole section of the population I'm going to not give any I'm up, I'm a public figure in a position not getting any access to this whole segment because of the color of their skin. I mean
Not racism is just what an appalling thing to say, and obviously, if it was said about in reverse, if you don't-
mere saying in a walk. I just just to honour my guys, I'm we're just bridges could have wiped brain by people to the back. Thank you. We, the ravine,
the uproar, and rightly so that this is just. This is the kind of deranged thanking
explains why we are in such a maze. Why polarization racial polarization is is increasing, despite the fact that, actually, if you look at the trajectory of racism and race relations in this country,
Things have comparatively be never never been data, and yet you have people in prison positions of leadership, a setting back that noble cause with just thoroughly irresponsible and, frankly, insulting
statements like that are honestly. I just don't understand how she can. Why do understand her? She gets away with it because that such as the the grip of this critical race theory on on the country that they give you can
things like that. I know that not be a career enter back ass. These reaches frankly so sure, there's been, thankfully format of pushed back against the social agenda. Reporter was granted interviewing backed out some. Do it teach these? Are you ground rules?
I agree with married. This is racism, immutable,
oh characteristics, being the sole criterion by which someone is chosen or not chosen is
racism, but I think what I find the most interesting about this is
in war. World lorry Lightfoot thought that this would help she said has been pushed back and not just from the hispanic journalist of good for him
it also from minorities who have a position within the city government.
So let's assume that you believe that we have systemic problems in the United States and that it is difficult
minorities to succeed in journalism.
Unless the that you believe that the best way of dealing with that is to use a blunt instrument.
For one day or more exclude white journalists so that non white journalists have a bigger shot how
on earth is whatever marginal benefit flows from that going to outweigh the backlash.
Going to outweigh the anger
going to outweigh the criticism? This did nothing good
on balance for race relations in more
people are going to look at this and say well
race. Relations are obviously terrible in the United States or our public officials are discriminating, or I guess I
I'll get a fair shake as a white journalist, even then going to benefit from this absurd policy and
What baffles me is somebody in her office as a wife or girlfriend
should have said to her. You are
to do more harm than good, but judging
are the meteor appearances that she is given
it doesn't seem to have noticed that the question. Do you marry this? This kind of criterion that might mere Lightfoot? Had this a passing fad? We won't here, there's pushed back against this. We want here
these kind of things again or is a growing trend that if those pushed back now will gain traction overtime, I'm very sets sad to say. I think it's the latter, and I think, is partly because the this is so pocket. This kind of thinking is so popular with younger people, honesty, ascend to positions of influencing and terror, as they were just go, see more and more of this, and were already seen this in the Democratic Party in Congress
and across country so was worth it till it far too. So I got, I think, it's going to get worse and then I think he's going to get better pretty quickly, because this is absolutely toxic electrically. You can tell that guy
earlier off that also racist amendment to the California constitution, which would have allowed racial discrimination. People don't like this and the more the Democrats lean into it. The more they're going to pay no you're not going to get a republican mare of Chicago. I think I'm rights and ass. It happened since nineteen thirty four, but if it spreads it, wills
to affect national races and swing races and, as we saw in twenty twenty, the craziness of a few individuals can.
We heard a party over all defend. The police was actually not the position of most swing state Democrats, but they still got hurt by it.
So I do think this is going to get worse and then I think there's gonna be a wake up call. So
right Charlie, but I'm with Mary, I think, is going to get worse and just its axiomatic for me. Now that things it seem like lunacy will overtime become mainstream, come to be
sap did with on that jury. Knowed, let's hit a few other things before we go
Charlie you're here the green, but I am here this is the first of my life sizes in a while, you can independently verified that deny stories come from the boy. Did I go? Did anyone you know something a witness you picking up
yeah, but you can go into that last night. You went to the casino bar for there is there any just behind.
Absolutely absolutely
now we are here the green, bright ass. We speak in West Virginia, it's pretty beautiful. We went up, yes, it all the way to the top of the hill and spectacular mountains, which is always a tree for me, because I grew up in EAST Anglia in England, which is flat, and now I live in Florida, which is flat. So
let's see mountains and was delighted and natty. We were the beneficiaries of you, rehearsing the national anthem and then performing it at the said dinner at the top of the mountain.
Yes, so I was sure
I think, I think I'm doing it again tonight and I was shown by
an hour. I, where I would be singing said: oh you know you can this isn't on bovine says
have a go now if you want Cyprus, checking the acoustic, so I started singing and I was sort of looking at the window and not really paying attention
I turned round, and there is a line of guests.
Standing with their hands on their hearts. I am, and I just thought that was just so sweet. I think-
I've been doing nine, a Scottish who Taylor Resort, I programme things thrown at names and sharp focus. So here these patriotic Americans him
so that was that I was very encouraging specially I was just rehearsing, so it was a buffer performance. How do you do you? Have a distinctive style and performing the national anthem done it several times now, and how do you? How do you develop a style with the song? How do you couldn't make us on your own? Special one
form so commonly yes, so I have a claim for us by this song.
Russian political, be Xyz classically Jean singer and which actually is where it's my vantage with this Sancho, extremely rangy, and especially, if you do it
fancy thing again. What is arranged leg is there yet that the distance between the Louis Norton Highs, no is is very big.
And so I went
First, it was trying to say about accents in a whether I should,
second scottish accident or americanized and I think I've I've gone for some.
Strange sort of hybrid of the two and then
I wrote my are on on free,
land of the free. I don't get it at that.
And so yes, I have over time make made my own. I think I dont know if that comes across rich
