Headline: “Big News for Harvard, Woke Academia and Biden’s Bumbling Response – How a $2.2 Billion Loss to Harvard Reveals the Power Struggles Within Academia and Government”

Good evening everyone, I’m Laura Ingraham, and welcome to The Ingraham Angle from Washington. Tonight, we have major breaking news for the academic world, and this time, it’s Harvard that’s taking the hit. Harvard University, famed for its elite status and political influence, has just been dealt a crushing blow. In a move that has sent shockwaves through the halls of academia, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced today that Harvard University will lose $2.2 billion—with a “B”—in federal funding. The money that was allocated for research grants has been canceled, effective immediately.

This move by the NIH is no small matter. It’s a wake-up call for woke academia. The repercussions will be felt across college campuses everywhere. And trust me, heads are already exploding. But let’s take a step back and think about what’s happening here. This isn’t just about dollars and cents—this is about control, power, and the influence that these academic institutions have on policy and culture. And while the Biden administration stumbles through its own embarrassing moments on the world stage, Harvard’s loss is going to be felt for years to come.

Woke Academia Faces a Reckoning

The news broke late today. Harvard University, which has long prided itself on its ability to push the boundaries of academic research, is now facing a significant challenge. The NIH decision, which impacts a broad range of research and funding initiatives, is likely to send a clear signal to the Ivory Tower about the risks of playing with ideological fire. While the federal government has been pouring billions into woke causes for years, this move highlights that there are still consequences for prioritizing politics over actual merit and progress.

For years, universities like Harvard have championed radical agendas, turning out political activists and intellectuals who, for the most part, are more interested in pushing their progressive ideologies than fostering genuine intellectual discourse. But now, the ground is shifting. The loss of $2.2 billion in research funding is not just a slap on the wrist—it’s a direct challenge to the system they’ve built, one that may be at odds with America’s national interests.

Biden, for his part, is busy trying to repair the damage, but let’s face it, his priorities are elsewhere—and certainly not focused on the consequences of his party’s cultural agenda.

A Bumbling Biden and the G7 Fiasco

Meanwhile, Biden is back from his European tour, where he had yet another opportunity to display his incompetence on the world stage. The latest G7 meeting? Another example of the unpredictable and often chaotic foreign policy moves from a president who seems to stumble through every international summit. You could almost hear the collective sigh from our allies as they watched Biden attempt to lead, only to stumble and struggle to hold onto any semblance of authority.

But even within the U.S., Biden’s actions have been inconsistent, at best. Just this week, the National Security Council was involved in handling a set of pro-Hamas protests that took over college campuses, including Columbia University. At a time when universities should be fostering serious academic discussion, they have turned into breeding grounds for radical ideologies. The protesters, in their occupation of Columbia’s Butler Library, declared the library a “liberated zone” — liberated, of course, from the students who were there to study.

What’s most disturbing is not just the spectacle of students taking over public spaces but the institutional support for these movements. Universities, like Harvard and Columbia, have allowed this pro-terrorism agenda to fester, with little to no pushback. Administrators and faculty members, many of whom are funded by taxpayer dollars, have done little to reign in this chaos. If these students were part of any other movement—especially one not politically aligned with the left—there would be swift and immediate consequences.

A Call for Accountability

As the federal government continues to try and reel in the damage done by woke academia, the real issue remains: who is held accountable for this chaos? Just as Harvard feels the sting of the NIH funding loss, it’s clear that the government’s role in funding such institutions must be questioned. Why are we allowing taxpayer dollars to flow to universities that are breeding grounds for radical ideologies that undermine the very fabric of American society?

It’s time for institutions like Harvard to answer for their actions. As the Biden administration continues its slow decline in credibility, it’s clear that a new era of accountability is dawning. And the consequences will not just be felt in the Ivory Tower—they will be felt throughout every facet of American society.

For now, the Biden administration is fumbling its way through a series of botched responses to crises abroad and at home. Harvard’s $2.2 billion loss is but a sign of the times—the institutions that have long been untouchable are beginning to feel the heat. The days of radical activism in academia, fueled by federal dollars, may be coming to an end.

Stay tuned. The Ingraham Angle will be here to watch it all unfold.
