WHAT WOULD REAGAN DO?
  That’s a question often asked by conservatives. His comments to the administration at the University of California back in 1966 are a pretty good indication of how he would react to the “student unrest” in America today.
 Hans von Spakovsky, legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, listened to all three hours of the hearing at the Supreme Court on Presidential immunity. The decision will come down in June but he says you  shouldn’t expect the drama to end.
   The NFL draft is tonight. Former WPXI TV sportscaster John Fedko joins a discussion about how the Steelers’ draft (and other sports) were covered by the local TV stations back when local news still mattered. (A long time ago.)
The competition was fierce.

THERE MIGHT BE SOME GOLDFISH SWALLOWING GOING ON
   The list of colleges experiencing mass anti-Israel/ Pro-Hamas demonstrations is growing. It might have reached the level of a fad. And there is evidence that a good number of the kiddies don’t really know what they’re demonstrating for or against.
Liel Leibovitz, editor at large for Tabletmag.com has been studying what’s been going on in academia for a long time and this show is devoted to what he’s found. He says you shouldn’t be surprised by what’s going on now because it is all part of a plan that began more than 20 years ago and that the universities have actually become threats to national security. 
    He also says that there are simple solutions. Including deportation.

  WE INVENTED COLLEGE DEMONSTRATIONS
   “We,” being Baby Boomers. When there was a demonstration on campus way back when, a good number of students who were legitimately passionate about an issue would show up, but there were probably a lot more who were there as spectators and maybe looking to party. There may be some of that going on now on college campuses around the country.
 Victoria Taft of PJ Media has a story about a ridiculous case before the Supreme Court involving a debate about whether it’s unconstitutional for a city to prevent drug-addled bums from living on its streets. 
   The United Nations would like the United States to sign on to something called the United Nations Small Arms treaty. Dudley Brown, president of the National Association of Gun Rights says that would be a bad idea and he has a petition that he’d like you to sign.
