This May Day, there were big demonstrations everywhere – more than 900 cities and towns – participants included Bernie Sanders and many notable unions; and the banner for this organized national protest targeted not just Trump: "For the workers, not the billionaires" – Harold Meyerson comments.

Also: Donald Trump is "the greatest threat to American universities since the Red Scare of the 1950s"—that’s what Princeton’s president Christopher Eisgruber said. Others say that what Trump is doing is worse. Beverly Gage comments – she wrote “G-Man,” the award-winning biography of J. Edgar Hoover.

Plus: Twenty Minutes without Trump: The Museum of Jurassic Technology is one of the treasures of Los Angeles – it’s a weird and wonderful place on Venice Boulevard that attracts art fanatics from around the world. Founder and director David Wilson raises big questions about really small art. (originally broadcast 6-19-2001)
