## Resource

Kamala Harris floats “no bad ideas” proposals like abolishing the Electoral College and packing the Supreme Court. Democrats only attack rules when out of power, argue Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” They connect these trends to broader left-wing efforts to change American institutions, describing Democrats as adolescent and grift-prone, and cite episodes of fraud and hostility toward law enforcement, including Democrats voting against a pro-police resolution. Hanson warns of rising antisemitism on the Left, faults Barack Obama and Democrat leaders for silence, and argues authoritarian impulses come from protected elites rather than Trump. The episode also condemns Stephen Colbert and David Letterman’s on-air property destruction, mocks DEI-driven “whiteness” rhetoric from an Iowa candidate, and closes with reflections on classic war films and Memorial Day programming.
