247: Campus Chaos with Professor Emeritus Mark Yudof

Politics War Room with James Carville & Al Hunt

Guest host Paul Begala joins Al to analyze the factors driving the ‘24 election and the dangers of another Trump term before speaking with UC President Emeritus Mark Yudof. They discuss where the pro-Palestine protests fit in the history of campus movements, how an oppressor/oppressed schema contributes to anti-Israel and anti-Semetic sentiment, why support for Israel is a liberal position, and where the line is between constitutionally protected speech and threatening action. With no end to the chaos on campuses in sight, they consider the best way to restore order and turn recent events into a teachable moment.
