--:-- John Bickley: I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Tuesday, December 5th, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update.
--:-- Georgia Howe: University presidents from Harvard, UPenn, and MIT faced questioning today from lawmakers in Congress about their response to alleged incidents of anti-Semitism on their campuses.
--:-- John Bickley: Harvard, Penn, and six other colleges, as well as a number of K-12 schools, are among the institutions being investigated by the Department of Education.
--:-- Georgia Howe: During the hearing, lawmakers demanded that the university presidents tell them what steps have been taken to mitigate hate on campus.

--:-- Elise Stefanik: Does that speech not call for the genocide of Jews and the elimination of Israel? You testify that you understand that is the definition of intifada. Is that speech according to the Code of Conduct or not?
--:-- Harvard President: We embrace a commitment to free expression and give a wide berth to free expression even of views that are objectionable.
--:-- Elise Stefanik: You and I both know that's not the case. You were aware that Harvard ranked dead last when it came to free speech. Are you not aware of that report?
--:-- Harvard President: As I observed earlier, I reject that characterization. It's the data shows it's true.

--:-- Tommy Tuberville: It was pretty much a draw. I mean, they didn't get what they wanted. We didn't get what we wanted. And, you know, when they change the rules, it's hard to win. And so they changed the NDA rules. We didn't get to fight for it to leave it in the Senate. And so just unfortunate American people didn't get a voice.

--:-- Tim Pierce: Police say they responded to the Arlington neighborhood on Monday afternoon to reports of possible shots fired Ashley Savage the public information officer with Arlington County Police Department said the suspect inside the residence discharged several rounds The house subsequently exploded Law enforcement officials say that a preliminary investigation revealed the suspect fired off a flare gun 30 to 40 times. That led police to obtaining a search warrant for the residence. After officers failed to make contact, the suspect discharged several rounds from what is believed to be a firearm inside the home. Soon after, an explosion occurred. Officials say the suspect is presumed to be dead.

--:-- Georgia Howe: The House Oversight Subcommittee on Healthcare and Financial Services is currently holding a hearing on the importance of protecting female athletics and Title IX.

--:-- Cabot Phillips: More of the United States goes back to the early 2000s, when Charles and Kathleen Moore invested in an India-based startup. The couple invested $40,000 in exchange for 13% of the company's shares. While they did not receive any distributions dividends or other payments they learned in 2018 that they had to pay taxes on their share of the company under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which became law a year earlier The legislation required U taxpayers who owned at least 10 of a foreign company to pay a one-time tax on their proportionate share of the company's earnings. The Moors were assessed to have additional taxable income that was over $130,000 and owed more than $14,000 in taxes. The couple did pay the tax but also filed a lawsuit for a refund, claiming that the mandatory repatriation tax was a violation of the 16th Amendment because it taxes unrealized gains and not income.

--:-- Judge Omar Williams: A man convicted of election interference for posting memes that told voters to cast their ballot via text in 2016 will stay out of prison for the time being. A federal court halted the prison sentence for Douglas Mackey yesterday after a Brooklyn Federal District Court judge in October sentenced Mackey to seven months in prison, a $15,000 fine and two years of probation. However, I overruled the appellate court by granting a motion for bond pending appeal. Mackey was accused of a scheme to deprive individuals of their constitutional right to vote after a Twitter account he ran under the handle Ricky Vaughn posted memes in the lead up to the election.
