Haz and Hinkle kicked off campus and whine about it. Fetterman and the NYPD are liars.

Chris and Aaron back with a news episode, discussing May Day, Marx's birthday, and Soviet Victory day, and connecting the workers movement with the student encampments for a Free Palestine and the qualitative differences the new movement has from older events like Occupy and the George Floyd uprising. Needless to say, the kids are alright.

Next we look at the incident at Emory University where Haz gave a dumb speech capped by screaming at students booing him for defending Jackson Hinkle. Jon Fetterman lies about students demands while the NYPD goes to a library for the first time. Biden says there is no red line for Israel.
