On Tuesday, April 30, UCLA failed to protect students when 200 pro-Israel militants -- who were not students -- attacked the pro-Palestine encampment on campus. On Wednesday, thousands of pro-Palestine supporters gathered outside Royce hall; and during the early morning hours on Thursday, May 2, police raided the pro-Palestine encampment themselves and made over 200 arrests. Harold Meyerson contrasts UCLA's treatment of peaceful protests against Israel's destruction of Gaza with that of other US universities (recorded after Tuesday, before the Thursday morning raid).
Also: Rural America is Trump country. In 2016, Hillary got barely 30 percent of the rural vote. Biden did only a little better in 2020. But he can do a lot better than that this year -- and he needs to, if he’s going to carry some of the swing states. Anthony Flaccavento will explain -- he’s co-founder and executive director of the Rural Urban Bridge Initiative.
Plus: Arthur Danto visits Las Vegas -- not to gamble, but to look at the art. Arthur was an American art critic, philosopher, and professor at Columbia University. He died in October 25, 2013. (This interview was recorded in March 2000.)
