some question why kyrie irving hasn't been suspended. y'all, this is important to note. the anti-defamation league last year, 34% increase in anti-semitism incidents in this country, a record since they have been keeping track. so kyrie has millions of followers so this is important to why these types of messages have some impact we're seeing in society. >> good point there. >> thank you, t.j. >>> we're going to turn to a shocking story from one of america's most prestigious universities. reportedly living in various dorms across campus for nearly a year. kayna whitworth is there at stanford with more on this story. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: michael, good morning. so stanford university telling us some staff in dorms where this man was seen were notified, but they went on to say they had no broad communication system allowing him to bounce around this campus for at least ten months and in some cases making other students' dorm rooms his own. this morning, shock and outrage over an alleged impostor at one of the country's most prestigious universities. >> i though

nets guard kyrie irving, good to see you, says he didn't mean any harm but didn't directly apologize. nba commissioner silver called this decision reckless in a statement today. he also said "i'm disappointed that he has not offered an unqualified apology and more specifically denounced the vile and harmful content in the film he chose to publicize. i will be meeting with kyrie in person in the next week to discuss this situation." he posted "hebrew rows to negros, wake up black america" featuring anti-semitic tropes. irving said he opposes all forms of hatred and oppression. he is aware of the negative impact on the jewish community. irving and the nets both pledged half a million dollars to the adl. irving has not received discipline from the team or league. controversy has surrounded him dating back to 2017 when he proclaimed the world is flat at which time he called himself a conspiracy theorist. >> it's worth noticing that the head of the adl helped write that statement with him yesterday. clearly it wasn't sufficient enough. he'll be meeting with adam silver next week. switching

seeing kyrie irving come back to applause, the way he handled it, how are you feeling about that? >> it's a difficult situation. i don't think anyone is under the delusion that you can suspend people out of anti-semitism. kyrie said the right things and i'm sure he regrets posting the documentary. it's a more complicated conversation, how to understand the misconceptions and how to ensure things don't like that again. >> he apologized. do you accept his apology? >> i'm not here to speak for other people. i tend to err -- >> but can you accept him at his word? >> yeah. and i try to leave room for people to understand and grow. i think our society, our culture is good at that. we look at basketball players in the peak of their careers, but they're actually pretty early in their lives. we have to understand people are learning and growing. as a public figure, he's growing up in front of other people. i think we'd all like to have a certain amount of grace when we have to fill in blind spots about other people in communities that we don't know much about. jews are just 2% of the ameri

and after the kyrie situation, kyrie irving, on twitter, was trending "the jews." it was just the words "the jews" trending on twitter. and so, it was bittersweet. because, it's always nice to trend on twitter. >> stephen: it's never bad. >> it is never bad. but i knew if i checked it, it wasn't going to be like "the jews bought everyone ice cream." i knew it wasn't going to be-- >> stephen: the jews, abc's new hit sitcom. >> that's right. but because it was kyrie and about the nets, "the jews" was trending under sports. which for us, nice. >> stephen: that's a win. >> never happened before. >> stephen: sandy koufax. >> and then this trended. it's-- look, i'm, you know, as our spokesjew... and, we hear you. the people out there. and we know, you know, the power and control that the jews have collectively. because we, that's how we wield it. >> stephen: sure, it's all unanimous decisions. >> correct. i'm not on all the committees. but-- and i don't know who ended kanye's adidas deal, that wasn't my committee. i'm on oil prices and bagel flavors. i do bagel flavors.

and i don't think kanye west is a stupid person, and i don't think kyrie irving -- i mean, kyrie irving does think the world is flat, so that should be taken into consideration. >> he went to duke though. he's pretty smart. >> well, i mean, he went to duke. would he have gone to duke had he not been a great basketball player? that's for the admissions people at duke. but might be time to take his diploma back. >> so, yet at the same time that we're talking about this, you and i have talked about this privately, this era of so-called cancel culture, where careers get ruined because somebody says something wrong or makes a mistake. obviously if they commit a crime, that's a separate thing. but i think -- and i think you would agree with me -- that there does need to be room for people to apologize, as long as it's a sincere apology. i saw this report today about this young sports reporter in casey funderburg. she objected to some racism she saw as a sports reporter and then passt racist tweets she ha made when she was a teenager and she was fired to. me, that seems like, look, if she's --

but in one way, you know, kyrie irving is right. he is no different. he might have a larger platform. but in this moment, we all need to consider how we talk about our fellow humans. we're going to pick it up on the other side with a candidate vying to lead america's second largest city, los angeles. democrat rick crew sew was once a republican. does he think america can get past this poison that's been injected into our politics? that's next. pay for what you n. contestants ready? go! only pay for what yoyou need. jingle: liberty. libererty. liberty. liberty.

kyrie irving hasn't really faced punishment. talk to me through that. because people are looking at this and saying why it is different from kyrie and kanye? >> well, a few things. so number one, i just want to salute sir charles and kareem abdul-jabbar and neil, three former players with a great deal of wisdom who all said the right thing. i think joe sign net's owner on friday night said the right thing. i wish perhaps the nba had taken action faster. but i got to say, i believe in -- i don't believe in cancel culture, i believe in council culture. and so the opportunity now engage with kyrie, to sit down on the ground with the orthodox jewish and the black community and think about how we come together. that could be far more lasting and material than a simple apology. so i want to move the ball forward. i wan to bring our communities together. i think we have a chance to do that. but actions speak louder than words. so, we're going to see what happens in the days an weeks and months ahead. i will -- i will work with kyrie and with the nets. but if h

a statement from the team reads in part -- >> kyrie irving issued an apology after he was suspended. the decision by the nets to suspend him stands out because sit a stronger rebuke of anti-semitism of anything we have seen from the leaders of the republican party that contains a faction that dabbles in anti-semitic conspiracy authorities. "the washington post" reports -- >> in nevada, the campaign of republican senate nominee alex laxalt denouncedanti-semitic tweet. in georgia, herschel walker did not publicly reject a show of support from the rapper formally known as kanye west. democratic aligned jewish groups on monday criticized dr. oz, who is the republican senate candidate in pennsylvania for plans to attend a rally with gop nominee doug mastriano. his wife asserted over the weekend she and her husband probably love israel more than a lot of jews do. that was a quote. a rising tide of anti-semitism in america is where we start today. joining me now is the senior vice president for national affairs for the anti-defamation league and led the department of homeland security's tas
