Kamala Harris Joins Dems' Brazen Push for Power

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim Geraghty on Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they react to Kamala Harris embracing sweeping Democratic power-grab proposals, alarming declines in student reading and math scores nationwide, the growing push to tax unrealized capital gains, and a leftist policy proposal that Americans of all political persuasions should reject.First, they break down Kamala Harris’s “no bad idea brainstorming” session, where she advocated abolishing the Electoral College, expanding and packing the U.S. Supreme Court, and punishing justices for rulings that differ from expectations during confirmation hearings. Meanwhile, the Democrats and their media allies claim they were playing nice with Republicans until now.Next, Scot and Greg are concerned but not surprised that reading and math have declined in the vast majority of school districts over the past decade. They discuss why this is happening, how to turn those results around, and what left-wing ideas are proven failures.Then, they shake their heads over Illinois Democrats proposing taxes on unrealized capital gains — meaning Americans could be taxed on increases in the paper value of stocks, real estate, and other assets before selling them. The Democrats say it's only aimed at millionaires and billionaires, but explains how this approach will inevitably hit everyone.Finally, they get ready to fire up their grills as Los Angeles councilwoman and mayoral candidate Nithya Raman proposes a ban on backyard barbecuing during windy and dry conditions.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.
