Washington, D.C. - In case you missed it, House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik joined Kudlow with Larry Kudlow on Fox News
View highlights from the interview below.
On Harvard University Refusing to Protect Jewish Students:
“This is the epitome of entitlement that you're seeing by Harvard. Let's go back to where we were two years ago, after October 7th. You saw a skyrocketing of antisemitism on Harvard's campus, as well as other undergraduate campuses across the country. These universities famously did not condemn calling for the genocide of Jews, which is one of the reasons why Harvard's president was ousted and forced to be fired, as well as a plagiarism scandal. But what's important, Larry, is these schools get billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer funds. They are not entitled to those funds if they are not protecting civil rights of Jewish students on campus. So, yes, it is time to defund Harvard. The fact that they are going to defy the Trump Administration’s Department of Education requirements, it shows how out of touch they are with everyday American values.
…
They get $9 billion. President Trump has paused 2.2 billion already, more to come, and certainly from Congress's perspective, we will continue our oversight, being good stewards of U.S. taxpayer dollars, and the American people are with us on this issue.
…
It is time to make sure that we're holding them accountable. There is the sense of entitlement. And if you look at the faculty, the tenured faculty of all these schools, they are so out of touch with American values. Ninety-seven percent of the faculty are self-identified Democrats, progressives. They are propping up these radical, far left ideas and really teaching anti-Americanism. The same pro-Hamas terrorists that are at these, I don't call them protests, I call them riots because they are physically destroying property as well as physically assaulting students. They chant “Death to Israel.” They also chant “Death to America.” So, we need to take significant action. President Trump has done that. What a difference that makes between Joe Biden and President Trump.”
On Stefanik’s Return to House Leadership and Passing President Trump’s Agenda in Congress:
“Reconciliation has to pass the House, and we are committed to cutting taxes and making sure that we build on the success of President Trump's tremendous economic policy.
…
I'm proud to return to House Republican Leadership as Chair of the House Republican Leadership and working with the team to communicate with the American people and also to keep our promises, to keep President Trump's promises and pass his agenda.
…
The good news Larry, is President Trump is the master economic messenger. He is the one that proposed No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Social Security, cutting corporate tax breaks, extending and making more significant tax cuts. So, I'm confident we will get this done. He has a House Republican majority that will deliver these significant tax cuts.”
