Project 2025 has emerged as one of the most ambitious and polarizing policy blueprints in recent American history. Developed under the guidance of the Heritage Foundation, with participation from more than 100 conservative organizations, Project 2025 represents a detailed roadmap for the executive branch—the so-called “Mandate for Leadership”—aimed at fundamentally reshaping the federal government should a conservative administration return to the White House.At its heart, Project 2025 proposes to dramatically increase presidential control over the federal bureaucracy. According to The Heritage Foundation's Kevin Roberts, “every federal employee should answer to the president,” and the blueprint recommends eliminating the independence of agencies like the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the Federal Communications Commission. Supporters argue this would remedy what they see as an unaccountable, left-leaning bureaucracy, but critics warn that the plan would threaten the separation of powers and basic civil liberties by putting nearly all executive branch decision-making directly under the president.Specifics from the plan highlight its scope. The project calls for the replacement of all State Department leadership before Inauguration Day with appointees handpicked for ideological alignment, bypassing Senate confirmation requirements wherever possible. Kiron Skinner, who authored the State Department chapter, said that career officials had become “too left-wing” and should be replaced with loyal conservatives, despite admitting she could not name a time when these officials had obstructed Trump policies.The workforce reductions proposed are equally sweeping. Project 2025 recommends dismissing up to a million federal workers, either by abolishing entire agencies or through mass layoffs. According to reporting from Government Executive, the Trump administration, implementing elements of the playbook through the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, has already cut hundreds of thousands of jobs and eliminated agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and USAID, moves claimed to save $1 trillion but mired in legal disputes with federal workers' unions. These layoffs coincide with aggressive return-to-office mandates and office consolidations, disrupting telework programs relied upon since the pandemic.Policy changes extend well beyond personnel. On public health, Project 2025 would fundamentally curtail the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's authority. The plan advises preventing the CDC from issuing prescriptive guidance on vaccines and masks, transferring these decisions to parents and providers, and splitting the CDC into two agencies to limit its agenda-setting power. The Food and Drug Administration's drug approval process would be reformed, and federal public health funding would be channeled directly to states, bypassing agencies like NIH.On social policy, the proposals are stark. Project 2025 outlines a strict anti-abortion agenda—cutting federal funds to states that don't require detailed abortion reporting, limiting access to medications like mifepristone, and instructing the Department of Health and Human Services to combat so-called “abortion tourism.” The blueprint also calls for a ban on transgender individuals in military service and would have the CDC stop collecting data on gender identity. Civil rights and liberty organizations like the ACLU argue these measures would “replace the rule of law with right-wing ideals,” further noting that Project 2025's reach would touch nearly every aspect of American life.While the Heritage Foundation frames its mission as restoring efficiency and democratic accountability, critics like the Center for Progressive Reform describe Project 2025 as the “authoritarian blueprint” of an administration racing to roll back worker and environmental protections, undo public health safeguards, and undermine democratic checks and balances nationwide.The next weeks and months will be crucial as lawmakers, federal employees, and advocacy groups react to the ongoing implementation of these policies and court challenges move forward. As Project 2025 continues to unfold—whether through executive action, litigation, or legislative attempts—Americans face a period of tremendous uncertainty about the future shape of their government.Thank you for tuning in, and be sure to come back next week for more.Some great Deals https://amzn.to/49SJ3QsFor more check out http://www.quietplease.ai

Project 2025 represents a seismic attempt to reshape the machinery of American governance, guided by a philosophy that seeks to place virtually all executive power directly under presidential control. Initiated by the Heritage Foundation and an alliance of over a hundred conservative organizations, its centerpiece is the “Mandate for Leadership,” a massive policy playbook published in 2023 designed to act as the transition manual for a potential new administration following the 2024 election.At its core, Project 2025 seeks to “destroy the Administrative State,” meaning it aims to strip federal agencies of much of their independence and dismantle what its authors claim are layers of unaccountable and biased bureaucracy. Proponents, such as Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation, argue that “all federal employees should answer to the president,” encapsulating the project's vision of a centralized, powerful executive branch. To achieve this, Project 2025 recommends the widespread dismissal of current senior officials across agencies like the Department of State—and their immediate replacement with individuals selected for their loyalty and ideological alignment, bypassing traditional Senate confirmation hurdles.One of the most controversial levers in the playbook is the resurrection of Schedule F, a proposed employment classification that would allow the president to convert career civil servants into at-will employees, stripping them of long-standing job protections. This maneuver would, according to its critics, allow the White House to purge thousands of nonpartisan officials and replace them with political loyalists—an approach described in detail by advocacy outlets and union leaders as a recipe for “political overreach or abuse of power."The document's scope spans 30 federal departments, each with a dedicated chapter and specific 180-day action plans—right down to pre-drafted executive orders waiting for a president's signature on inauguration day. Concrete proposals include eliminating entire agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and USAID, mass layoffs affecting hundreds of thousands of federal workers, and strict mandates requiring employees to return to office buildings, often ignoring remote work policies established during the pandemic. Since January 2025, the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, has acted on this blueprint with remarkable speed, eliminating agencies and laying off more than 280,000 federal employees and contractors across 27 agencies in just a few months.In terms of social policy, Project 2025 is unmistakably ambitious. The playbook calls for aggressive curbs on abortion rights, restrictions on LGBTQ protections, and a reversal of progress regarding racial and immigrant rights. Critics such as the American Civil Liberties Union warn that these measures, if implemented, could erode civil liberties and tip the balance of American governance toward an “imperial presidency.” Legal scholars, as referenced by Wikipedia, raise alarms that this model risks undermining the rule of law, the separation of powers, and the independence of key regulatory and law enforcement bodies.Supporters, however, frame these moves as an overdue correction. Kiron Skinner, author of the State Department chapter, claims the agency is overrun by left-leaning officials and needs a leadership overhaul favoring those loyal to a conservative president, though she famously could not cite specific examples of deliberate obstruction during her tenure when pressed in a 2024 interview.The latest developments underscore both the swiftness and controversy with which Project 2025 is moving forward. President Trump's administration is already well underway in executing its most dramatic provisions, facing a slew of lawsuits from federal employee unions and advocacy groups. The legal and partisan battles that loom will determine whether this vision of governance—marked by centralization, sweeping personnel changes, and redefined federal agency missions—becomes a new American reality or stalls amid constitutional challenges and public resistance.Listeners, thank you for tuning in to this deep dive into Project 2025.

In this inspiring commencement address at Thomas Aquinas College, Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts urges the Class of 2025 to step boldly into their calling as leaders, builders, and defenders of Truth. Reflecting on America's rich legacy, Dr. Roberts challenges graduates to reject retreat and rise to the moment with grit, gratitude, and a sense of mission.“You weren't made for comfort—you were made for greatness.”

Project 2025 is setting the stage for a sweeping transformation of American governance, promising changes that could reshape the federal landscape for years to come. Backed by the Heritage Foundation and a coalition of conservative advocacy groups, this policy blueprint is designed to consolidate executive power and implement a far-reaching conservative agenda from the first day of a new presidential administration.Central to Project 2025 is its intent to dramatically expand presidential authority over the executive branch. According to project advocates, the goal is to “place the entire executive branch under direct presidential control,” which would eliminate the traditional independence of agencies like the Department of Justice, FBI, Federal Communications Commission, and Federal Trade Commission. “All federal employees should answer to the president,” declared Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, reflecting the project's belief in a unitary executive theory where the president wields unprecedented control over federal administration. This vision calls for mass dismissal of top federal employees and replacing them with ideologically aligned appointees, a process that circumvents the usual need for Senate confirmation and could reshape federal agencies overnight.A concrete example of this agenda has already unfolded in the first months of the current administration. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, has been instrumental in executing proposals that have stunned even Project 2025's own architects. In rapid succession, agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Board and USAID have been dismantled. Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc. report that over 280,000 federal workers and contractors across 27 agencies have been laid off or are planned to be laid off, reflecting an unprecedented overhaul of the civil service. Return-to-office mandates have been paired with reductions in federal office space, complicating the lives and careers of hundreds of thousands of workers who had adapted to remote work during the pandemic.Project 2025's scope also extends to emergency management and disaster response. The plan calls for shifting FEMA's emergency preparedness and response costs overwhelmingly onto states and localities, with the federal government restricting its contribution to catastrophic events only. “FEMA is overtasked, overcompensates for the lack of state and local preparedness and response, and is regularly in deep debt,” warns the Project 2025 blueprint. It also urges Congress to end federal preparedness grants, signaling a major reversal in longstanding disaster response policy.The plan proposes similar upheavals in the realm of public broadcasting, with investigations launched into National Public Radio and PBS and calls to reduce or eliminate federal funding for these institutions. In immigration and border security, Project 2025 recommends direct use of military personnel for arrest operations at the southern border—something not previously seen in U.S. policy—and a sharp reduction in refugee admissions.Criminal justice is another key battleground. The blueprint advises the Department of Justice to charge or remove elected local prosecutors who decline to pursue certain offenses, such as low-level marijuana or shoplifting cases. This unprecedented federal intervention would curtail local prosecutorial discretion and centralize decision-making in Washington. As the Brennan Center for Justice notes, this approach “would deter local prosecutors from using their discretion in making case-specific decisions, regardless of what policies they may have campaigned on.”Critics, from the American Civil Liberties Union to labor unions and public sector advocates, argue that these changes threaten civil liberties, the separation of powers, and the independence of federal employees. The ACLU contends that Project 2025 “is a federal policy agenda and blueprint for a radical restructuring of the executive branch,” warning that its implementation could erode longstanding civil rights and democratic norms.With executive actions rolling out across more than 20 federal agencies, as tracked by the Center for Progressive Reform, the debate over Project 2025's full impact is only just beginning. As milestones approach—the next round of agency reorganizations, legal challenges to mass layoffs, and pivotal congressional showdowns—the nation will be watching to see whether this vision for American government will ultimately endure or be checked by traditional safeguards.Thank you for tuning in.

Project 2025 is more than a government reform blueprint; it's a sweeping bid to reshape the core of American governance. Developed by conservative think tanks, including the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 lays out hundreds of pages detailing how a future administration—under President Trump, as recent events have confirmed—could consolidate executive power, overhaul federal agencies, and redefine the federal-state relationship.According to project documents, a foundational goal is to place the entire executive branch under direct presidential control. The plan would strip independence from agencies like the Department of Justice, the FBI, and regulatory bodies such as the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission. Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation stated that all federal employees should answer to the president, echoing the controversial unitary executive theory. This vision, bolstered by recent Supreme Court decisions, would make the White House the undisputed command center of federal authority.Concrete examples of this approach are already being seen. Project 2025 proposes that all senior State Department employees should be dismissed before January 2025, replaced with ideologically vetted appointees who could bypass Senate confirmation. Kiron Skinner, a former Trump administration official involved in the project, argues that most current State Department staff are too left-leaning for this new vision, though she couldn't cite a specific case of obstruction. This move signals a dramatic preference for loyalty over traditional expertise.Agency reforms and cutbacks are a central theme. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the U.S. Agency for International Development have been eliminated in the early months of Trump's second term, according to reporting from GovExec. Similarly, plans are underway to lay off over a quarter million federal workers and contractors across 27 agencies—part of a claimed $1 trillion in savings.Disaster response policy would see radical change as well. Project 2025 calls for a wholesale overhaul of FEMA's funding structure. The federal government would step back, covering only 25% of costs for smaller disasters and up to 75% for the most catastrophic events, compared to the current baseline of 75% minimum coverage. The project's authors argue FEMA is “overtasked” and advocate for ending all preparedness grants to states and localities. “DHS should not be in the business of handing out federal tax dollars: These grants should be terminated,” state the project's recommendations.Other cultural and political flashpoints are also targeted. Brendan Carr, the FCC's head, announced investigations into NPR and PBS, questioning the content aired on their more than 1,500 member stations. According to The New York Times, this reflects Project 2025's skepticism toward publicly funded media.Criminal justice is slated for a dramatic pivot, too. The Brennan Center for Justice notes that Project 2025 proposes allowing the Department of Justice to charge or even remove local prosecutors who decline to pursue certain offenses, such as low-level marijuana possession or shoplifting. The authors argue this would address so-called “rule of law deficiencies,” but critics warn it could stifle local discretion and turn every district attorney into a policy subordinate of the federal government. For example, progressive prosecutors who favor treatment over incarceration for minor offenders would be at risk of losing their jobs under this policy approach.These proposed shifts, both sweeping and granular, have sparked fierce debate. Supporters argue Project 2025 will bring efficiency, accountability, and ideological consistency to Washington. Detractors warn of executive overreach, lost expertise, and risks to the fabric of American federalism. As one Heritage Foundation executive called it, the project is about using the machinery of government “to drive conservative change at every level.”The next key milestones are imminent. With the administration rapidly implementing pieces of the Project 2025 playbook, forthcoming legal challenges and agency restructurings will test both the feasibility and the resiliency of the current checks and balances. Observers across the political spectrum are watching closely: the fate of Project 2025's ambitions will shape not just policy, but the very structure of American democracy.Thank you for tuning in, and be sure to come back next week for more.Some great Deals https://amzn.to/49SJ3QsFor more check out http://www.quietplease.ai

Project 2025, championed by the Heritage Foundation and a coalition of conservative organizations, has become one of the most ambitious and controversial policy blueprints in contemporary American politics. Its authors envision a sweeping reconstruction of federal power, “placing the federal government's entire executive branch under direct presidential control,” as Heritage president Kevin Roberts has openly declared. The plan's backbone is a robust endorsement of the unitary executive theory, which grants unprecedented authority to the president, superseding the traditional independence of agencies like the Department of Justice, FBI, and the Federal Communications Commission. Roberts insists, “All federal employees should answer to the president,” reflecting a philosophy that would uproot decades of precedent regarding agency autonomy.The heart of Project 2025 lies in its plan to replace thousands of federal officials with ideologically vetted loyalists. It recommends dismissing nearly all senior State Department employees prior to Inauguration Day and filling those roles with temporary leaders who, notably, do not require Senate confirmation. Kiron Skinner, who contributed to the project's State Department chapter, has been candid in critiquing existing personnel as “too left-wing,” advocating for a transformation in which “those more loyal to a conservative president” would fill the ranks.This push for centralized authority is not just theoretical. Since January 20, under the Trump administration and the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, Project 2025's playbook has begun to reshape the bureaucracy. Entire agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and USAID, have been eliminated or gutted through unprecedented executive actions. Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc. reports that approximately 280,253 federal workers and contractors have either been laid off or face imminent dismissal. This seismic reduction affects at least 27 agencies and is touted as part of an effort to save $1 trillion.Specific policy objectives underscore the project's breadth. In criminal justice, the blueprint advises that the Department of Justice intervene aggressively in local prosecutions deemed insufficiently tough, even seeking to remove elected district attorneys who decline to prosecute certain crimes. The document urges that “the DOJ should remove local DAs who ‘deny American citizens the ‘equal protection of the laws' by refusing to prosecute criminal offenses in their jurisdictions.'” This would deter local prosecutors from pursuing alternative justice models, such as drug treatment instead of incarceration, under threat of federal override. Additionally, Project 2025 advocates expanding federal law enforcement's reach into local affairs, particularly in areas where local policy diverges from its agenda.Environmental and labor policies are equally targeted. The Center for Progressive Reform notes that Project 2025 is tracking executive action proposals across 20 federal agencies, warning that the rapid rollout of these initiatives is already producing “devastating consequences for workers, the environment, public health, and the rights of millions of Americans.” The real-time rollback of environmental and public safety regulations has become a flashpoint in states nationwide, as advocates sound alarms over declining protections and oversight.The implications of Project 2025 ripple far beyond administrative reshuffling. Critics argue that the project's zeal for efficiency and loyalty risks hollowing out institutional expertise, weakening checks and balances, and unsettling the rule of law. Proponents, however, see it as a necessary correction—streamlining government, empowering the president, and ensuring a coherent, values-driven administration.As these reforms surge forward, the coming months and years will test both the legal and cultural boundaries of executive power. With tens of thousands of jobs on the line, agency missions in flux, and contentious legal battles unfolding, one thing is certain: Project 2025 has set the stage for a fundamental clash over the future of American governance.Thank you for tuning in.

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a sense of profound transformation and potential upheaval in the U.S. federal government becomes increasingly clear. This initiative, born out of a convergence of conservative ideologies and strategic planning, aims to reshape the very fabric of American governance.In the spring of 2022, a group of conservative extremists and political operatives gathered to draft a radical blueprint for government restructuring. This document, known as Project 2025 or "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise," was released by the Heritage Foundation in April 2023. Backed by 100 advisory coalition partners, including far-right groups and organizations funded by billionaires, this 927-page policy blueprint is nothing short of ambitious.At its core, Project 2025 seeks to "destroy the Administrative State" by consolidating executive power in favor of right-wing ideologies. The plan is rooted in an expansive interpretation of the unitary executive theory, which centralizes greater control over the government in the White House. Kevin Roberts, a key proponent, envisions a system where all federal employees answer directly to the president, a vision that has been gaining traction since the Reagan administration, particularly through the influence of the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation[3].One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its proposal to eliminate the independence of several critical federal agencies. The Department of Justice, the FBI, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission are all targeted for direct presidential control. This move is designed to ensure that these agencies align with the ideological stance of the president, rather than operating as independent entities. For instance, Kiron Skinner, who authored the State Department chapter of Project 2025, advocates for the dismissal of all Department of State employees in leadership roles before January 20, 2025, to be replaced by ideologically vetted leaders appointed to acting roles that do not require Senate confirmation. Skinner's rationale is that many State Department employees are too left-wing and need to be replaced by those more loyal to a conservative president[3].The project also includes a detailed 180-day playbook for implementing these reforms, starting with a stack of prepared Executive Orders ready for the new president to sign on the first day in office. This rapid transformation is facilitated by a scheme known as Schedule F, which allows for the hiring of unlimited political appointees without expiration dates. These appointees would not be bound by the usual civil service protections, making them susceptible to political overreach and abuse of power. As outlined in the project, this would enable a president and their political loyalists to have full control over the Executive Branch for personal and political gain[5].The implications of such changes are far-reaching and potentially devastating. For federal workers, the loss of civil service protections could mean a significant erosion of job security and the introduction of a highly politicized work environment. The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) warns that Project 2025 could lead to the termination of up to 1 million federal workers, dismantling agencies and disrupting essential public services[2].Experts and critics alike are sounding alarms about the potential consequences of these reforms. The Center for Progressive Reform is tracking the executive action proposals across 20 federal agencies, highlighting the devastating consequences for workers, the environment, and public health. The ACLU has also expressed concerns, noting that the re-election of a president aligned with these policies could have immense and far-reaching impacts on civil liberties and the rule of law[1][4].As we approach the 2024 elections and the potential implementation of Project 2025 in 2025, the stakes are high. The project's success hinges on a GOP victory and the willingness of a new administration to execute these radical reforms. The coming months will be crucial, as the public and policymakers grapple with the implications of such a profound shift in governance.In reflecting on Project 2025, it becomes clear that this initiative represents more than just a set of policy proposals; it embodies a fundamental redefinition of the relationship between the executive branch and the rest of the federal government. As the nation moves toward this potential crossroads, it is imperative to engage in a robust and informed discussion about the future of American governance and the values that underpin it. The decisions made in the near future will shape not only the immediate trajectory of the federal government but also the long-term health of American democracy itself.

This initiative, crafted by a coalition of conservative organizations and political operatives, is more than just a policy blueprint; it is a radical vision for reshaping American governance.Project 2025 emerged in the spring of 2022, when a group of conservative extremists and political operatives gathered to draft a comprehensive plan for a new administration, presuming a GOP victory in the November 2024 elections. This 927-page document, also known as "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise," was released by the Heritage Foundation in April 2023 and is backed by 100 advisory coalition partners, including far-right groups and organizations funded by billionaires.At its core, Project 2025 aims to "destroy the Administrative State" by radically restructuring each of the 30 federal departments. The plan is divided into detailed chapters, each outlining specific proposals for overhauling these agencies and ensuring that political loyalists fill key positions from "Day One" of a new Republican administration. This is not just a matter of personnel changes; it involves a fundamental shift in how the executive branch operates, with a strong emphasis on centralizing power in the White House.One of the most contentious aspects of Project 2025 is its advocacy for the unitary executive theory, an expansive interpretation of presidential power that seeks to eliminate the independence of various federal agencies. Kevin Roberts, a key figure behind the project, has stated that all federal employees should answer directly to the president. This vision is supported by conservative justices, the Federalist Society, and the Heritage Foundation, which have been instrumental in shaping a stronger unitary executive since the Reagan administration.For instance, Project 2025 recommends dismissing all Department of State employees in leadership roles before January 20, 2025, and replacing them with ideologically vetted leaders appointed to acting roles that do not require Senate confirmation. Kiron Skinner, who authored the State Department chapter of the project, has expressed her belief that most State Department employees are too left-wing and should be replaced by those more loyal to a conservative president. When questioned about specific instances where State Department employees obstructed Trump policy, Skinner admitted she could not name any such occurrences, highlighting the ideological rather than pragmatic basis of these recommendations.The project also includes a 180-day playbook with specific steps for implementing these reforms, starting with a prepared stack of Executive Orders ready for the new president to sign on the first day in office. This rapid implementation is designed to ensure that the new administration can swiftly consolidate power and begin dismantling existing structures.A crucial component of Project 2025 is the use of Schedule F, a scheme that allows for the hiring of unlimited political appointees without expiration dates. This mechanism also enables the transfer of apolitical civil service employees into Schedule F, stripping them of their protections against corruption, political overreach, and abuse of power. As described in the project documentation, this would give the president and political loyalists full control over the Executive Branch, allowing them to act for personal and political gain without checks.The implications of these changes are far-reaching. By placing the entire executive branch under direct presidential control, Project 2025 threatens to undermine the independence of critical agencies such as the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission. This centralization of power could lead to a significant erosion of democratic checks and balances, potentially resulting in devastating consequences for workers, the environment, and public health, as noted by the Center for Progressive Reform.Experts and critics alike have sounded alarms about the potential impacts of Project 2025. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has highlighted the immense implications of such a radical shift in governance, particularly if it aligns with the re-election of a president like Donald Trump. The AFL-CIO's American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) warns that the plan could lead to the termination of up to 1 million federal workers, drastically altering the landscape of the federal workforce.As we approach the 2024 elections and the potential implementation of Project 2025 in 2025, the stakes are high. The next few months will be critical in determining whether this vision for a more centralized and ideologically driven federal government becomes a reality. If implemented, Project 2025 would mark a significant departure from the traditional balance of power in American governance, raising fundamental questions about the future of democracy and the role of the executive branch.In the words of those behind Project 2025, this is a "Mandate for Leadership" aimed at reshaping the federal government in a conservative image. However, for many, it represents a dangerous path toward authoritarianism and the dismantling of essential safeguards. As the nation prepares for this potential transformation, it is imperative to engage in a robust and informed discussion about the future of American governance and the implications of such profound changes.

Kevin Roberts, Kellyanne Conway, Ben Rhodes and I battled it out a few weeks ago on a stage in Toronto. This was for a Munk Debate on the motion: “Be it resolved, this is America's Golden Age.” It might not surprise you that I was arguing the negative, alongside Rhodes, a former senior adviser to Barack Obama and the co-host of “Pod Save the World.” Roberts and Conway were on the other side. Roberts is the president of the Heritage Foundation and an architect of Project 2025. Conway was Donald Trump's senior counselor in his first term. The Munk Debates organization has kindly let us share the audio of that debate with you. If you haven't heard of the Munk Debates, you should really check it out. It's a Canadian nonprofit that, for more than 15 years, has been hosting discussions on contentious, thought-provoking topics. If you go to its site and become a supporter, you can watch the entire video archive. A classic I recommend: “Be it resolved, religion is a force for good in the world” with Tony Blair debating Christopher Hitchens.Note: This recording has not been fact-checked by our team.

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a sense of profound transformation and potential upheaval in the U.S. federal government becomes increasingly clear. This initiative, born out of a convergence of conservative ideologies and strategic planning, aims to reshape the very fabric of American governance in ways that are both sweeping and contentious.Project 2025 is the brainchild of a coalition of conservative organizations, notably the Heritage Foundation, and was formalized in a 927-page policy blueprint released in April 2023. This document, often referred to as “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise,” outlines a radical restructuring of the federal government, with each of its 30 chapters dedicated to a specific department. The overarching goal is stark: to “destroy the Administrative State” and consolidate executive power under the presidency[5].At the heart of Project 2025 lies the unitary executive theory, an expansive interpretation of presidential power that seeks to centralize control over the government in the White House. Proponents argue that this concentration of power is necessary for efficient governance, but critics warn it could lead to an unprecedented erosion of checks and balances. Kevin Roberts, a key figure in this initiative, has stated that all federal employees should answer directly to the president, a notion that resonates with the Federalist Society and conservative justices who have supported stronger executive powers since the Reagan administration[4].One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its plan for the Department of State. Kiron Skinner, who authored the State Department chapter, advocates for the dismissal of all leadership roles within the department before January 20, 2025. These positions would then be filled with ideologically vetted appointees who do not require Senate confirmation. Skinner's rationale is that many current State Department employees are too left-wing and thus need to be replaced by those more loyal to a conservative president. When questioned about specific instances where State Department employees obstructed Trump policies, Skinner admitted she could not provide any examples[4].This approach is not isolated to the State Department; it is part of a broader strategy to ensure that key positions across the federal government are filled with political loyalists. Project 2025 includes a 180-day playbook detailing specific steps for implementing these reforms, starting with a stack of prepared Executive Orders ready for the new president to sign on the first day in office. This playbook is designed to expedite the transition and ensure that political appointees, rather than career civil servants, hold the reins of power[5].A critical component of this plan is the use of Schedule F, a scheme that allows for the hiring of unlimited political appointees without expiration dates. This mechanism also enables the transfer of apolitical civil service employees into Schedule F, stripping them of their civil service protections and leaving them vulnerable to political overreach and abuse of power. This move would grant the president and their loyalists unparalleled control over the Executive Branch, raising significant concerns about corruption and the politicization of federal agencies[5].The implications of these proposals are far-reaching and have sparked intense debate. For instance, Project 2025 seeks to eliminate the independence of various federal agencies, including the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission. This centralization of power under the presidency could undermine the integrity and autonomy of these agencies, potentially leading to a loss of public trust and the erosion of democratic institutions[4].Experts and critics alike have sounded the alarm about the potential consequences of Project 2025. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has highlighted the immense impact that such a reorganization could have on civil liberties and the rule of law. The AFL-CIO's Federal Employees union (AFGE) warns that up to 1 million federal workers could be terminated as part of this restructuring, exacerbating job insecurity and destabilizing essential public services[2][4].As we approach the 2024 elections and the potential implementation of Project 2025 in 2025, the stakes are high. The success of this initiative hinges on a Republican victory in the upcoming elections, after which the blueprint's detailed proposals would be swiftly executed. The coming months will be crucial in determining whether this radical vision for American governance will become a reality.In reflecting on Project 2025, it becomes clear that this is not just a policy initiative but a fundamental challenge to the existing structure of the U.S. government. As we move forward, it is imperative to engage in a nuanced and informed discussion about the potential impacts of such profound changes. The future of American governance hangs in the balance, and the decisions made in the next year will shape the course of the country for years to come.

In this address delivered at the Academy of Philosophy and Letters conference on June 5, 2025, Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts lays out a clear and unapologetic roadmap for rebuilding the American republic. The speech—“America's Golden Age: A Return to the Permanent Things”—calls conservatives to reject the stale, consultant-driven playbook of the past and instead lead with moral clarity, intellectual courage, and unshakable conviction. Dr. Roberts makes the case that our national revival won't come from Washington, Wall Street, or Silicon Valley—but from Main Street. From families, churches, schools, and communities rooted in timeless truths. This is not a moment for caution. It's a moment for boldness. For reclaiming our country through the very things that made it great: faith, family, freedom, and ordered liberty.

The race to develop ever-more-powerful AI is creating an unstable dynamic. It could lead us toward either dystopian centralized control or uncontrollable chaos. But there's a third option: a narrow path where technological power is matched with responsibility at every step.Sam Hammond is the chief economist at the Foundation for American Innovation. He brings a different perspective to this challenge than we do at CHT. Though he approaches AI from an innovation-first standpoint, we share a common mission on the biggest challenge facing humanity: finding and navigating this narrow path.This episode dives deep into the challenges ahead: How will AI reshape our institutions? Is complete surveillance inevitable, or can we build guardrails around it? Can our 19th-century government structures adapt fast enough, or will they be replaced by a faster moving private sector? And perhaps most importantly: how do we solve the coordination problems that could determine whether we build AI as a tool to empower humanity or as a superintelligence that we can't control?We're in the final window of choice before AI becomes fully entangled with our economy and society.

In this episode, Faithful Politics hosts Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram sit down with Rev. Dr. Shannon Fleck, the new Executive Director of Faithful America. Fleck discusses her journey from ministry to public advocacy, the rise of Christian nationalism in Oklahoma, and the battle against religious indoctrination in public schools. She also unpacks the implications of recent legislative moves, including a controversial social studies curriculum backed by religious right power players like Kevin Roberts, Dennis Prager, and David Barton. Fleck explains how the fight for true religious liberty is being reframed as a war on 'anti-Christian bias' and what it means for churches, schools, and marginalized communities across the nation.Guest Bio:Rev. Dr. Shannon Fleck is the Executive Director of Faithful America, the largest online community of Christians advocating for social justice. Previously, she served as the head of the Oklahoma Faith Network, where she championed interfaith dialogue and public advocacy in a deeply conservative state.

As tensions with China escalate and global conflict looms, how can America regain its strategic footing and peace through strength?In this best of episode of The Kevin Roberts Show, we bring together some of the most experienced minds in national security, diplomacy, and defense. Hear from:

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice begin today's show by unpacking last night's sold out Munk Debate where Ezra Klein and Ben Rhodes debated Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway about whether America has entered its golden age. It was a surprising show of civility between the debaters, and both Rudyard and Janice agree that a debate of this kind could not have taken place in the U.S. In the second half of the show they turn to the Middle East where Israel is hinting at a willingness to strike Iran's nuclear facilities against the wishes of the U.S. How will this impact ongoing nuclear negotiations between America and Iran? What role is Saudi Arabia playing in trying to prevent a war between these two rivals? And will Netanyahu go against Trump's explicit wishes, alienating its most important ally? To support the Friday Focus podcast consider becoming a donor to the Munk Debates for as little as $25 annually, or $.50 per episode. Canadian donors receive a charitable tax receipt. This podcast is a project of the Munk Debates, a Canadian charitable organization dedicated to fostering civil and substantive public dialogue. More information at www.munkdebates.com.

De Amerikaanse universiteiten zijn opnieuw doelwit geworden van Trumps cultuurstrijd. Op 22 mei kondigde zijn regering aan dat Harvard per direct geen internationale studenten meer mag toelaten. Het doel is helder: instellingen als Harvard degraderen tot tweederangs universiteiten — bolwerken van de elite, volgens rechts Amerika, die hun privileges moeten inleveren.Een maand eerder sprak Kevin Roberts, directeur van de conservatieve denktank The Heritage Foundation en de man achter het reactionaire beleidsplan Project 2025, harde taal: vrijwel alle Amerikaanse universiteiten zouden doordrongen zijn van een radicaal-links, ‘woke' gedachtegoed. En dat moet stoppen. De oplossing? Techmiljardair Marc Andreessen, vertrouweling van Elon Musk, weet raad: schaf alle publieke financiering af en laat instellingen als Harvard failliet gaan — pas dan kan het academische systeem worden heropgebouwd, betoogde hij in een podcast.Rutger van der Hoeven, die zelf studeerde aan UC Berkeley en doceerde in Californië, ziet hoe het denken over universiteiten kantelt. Waar universiteiten ooit als motor van vooruitgang golden, zien autoritaire leiders ze nu als hinderpaal: bastions van regulering, diversiteit en kritisch denken. In gesprek met Kees van den Bosch duidt Van der Hoeven de ideologische eenvormigheid op Amerikaanse campussen, de strategie achter Trumps aanval op het hoger onderwijs, en de wereldbeelden van de denkers die dit offensief voeden.Productie: Julian Lambriex en Kees van den Bosch.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We got a pretty clear heads up about what Trump 2.0 could portend for so many facets of American life. The Mandate for Leadership, also known as Project 2025, is perhaps the clearest compilation of goals for Trump's second term. Now that 100 days have passed of the second Trump administration, we thought it would be a good time to see where things stand.

Fifteen years after Sarah Silverman's viral call to “Sell the Vatican, Feed the World,” we now have a “Marxist Pope,” according to Trump stormtrooper Laura Loomer, and our wildest dreams. This week for Gaslit Nation's bonus show, we dive into the groundbreaking election of the first American pope, Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, whose ancestry ties him to Black lineage. While many celebrate this historic milestone, deeper questions remain.  Most crucially, Pope Leo's stance on Opus Dei, a secretive, powerful crime cult aligned with far-right politics and accused of human trafficking and labor abuses, remains unclear, especially given his close connections to Opus Dei in Peru. By Vatican standards, Pope Francis launched an open war on Opus Dei. (Fun fact: Robert Hanssen, the FBI agent and traitor who spied for the Kremlin, was an Opus Dei member).  Pope Francis began the work of reigning in Opus Dei's unchecked power. Pope Leo, seen as a moderate administrator, played both sides during his tenure in Peru, where Opus Dei holds sway. Will he now take bold action to finish Francis's mission, and protect the world from Opus Dei, especially America where Opus Dei has been expanding its influence in Washington, DC, thanks to allies Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society and Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025?  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, you are hearing it in the leftwing press, in the Never-Trump editorial pages and more - you cannot and must not deport anyone without some kind of notice and due process. Yet, there's nothing from these people on how this is supposed to actually work. What kind of due process are they talking about? The kind of due process that applies to citizens? If not, then what lower standard suffices as constitutional due process? Exactly how would due process, of any kind, be administered to millions and millions of illegal immigrants? We don't have enough courts of any kind in our country to handle the tsunami of cases that would be involved. This was all intentional. The border was opened to anyone. This is the Cloward-Pivens strategy: flood the system, overwhelm the system, break the system, and in doing so achieve your goals. Effectively, this is massive amnesty. Also, it seems these Federal judges are trying to stop mass deportation efforts and disrupt the Trump administration's response to Biden's mass immigration policies. Later, Hans von Spakovsky calls in and explains that he was stunned by Judge Boasberg's order because he's blatantly defying the Supreme Court. Boasberg's order was void from the moment he signed it. So how can he hold the Trump administration in contempt? Either Boasberg is incompetent or he's deliberately ignoring the Supreme Court. Afterward, Jonathan Turley calls in to discuss the criminal referral against NY AG Letitia James. James claims ​that ​her ​Virginia ​home ​was ​her ​principal ​residence. ​That ​was ​not ​and ​cannot ​be ​true ​because ​she was and still ​is ​an ​official ​of ​the ​New ​York ​government ​who ​must ​live ​within ​the ​state. What's ​notable ​about ​her ​false ​statements ​is ​that ​each ​one ​​worked ​towards ​a ​better mortgage ​rate. ​ Then, the Declaration of Independence discusses natural law and natural rights. Where do these concepts originate? They are influenced by John Locke and Montesquieu, but not entirely, as they ultimately come from God. When they say the people are sovereign, that ide comes from God. This is why the government can never be sovereign. The United States is first county on earth to be founded on these principles. Finally, Heritage President, Kevin Roberts, calls in to discuss the organization's impactful projects and ongoing efforts to revitalize federalism in America. Roberts shares insights on the current political landscape, the significance of state legislative work, and the importance of maintaining a conservative agenda while addressing challenges such as tariffs and international relations.

Donald Trump is the only one telling the American economy, “You have cancer!” Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, says, “The treatment is going to be a little painful.” Kevin responds to criticisms that the Heritage Foundation has changed its position on tariffs, explains why the president's treatment of Canada may be a “tactical error,” and says it's time for tax cuts, deregulation, and to stop the “fuzzy math happening in Congress” and cut the budget. Considering why the Epstein files “landed like a lead balloon,” Kevin posits that Pam Bondi is “understaffed” and celebrates what he believes is the best assembled Cabinet in modern history. They discuss nuclear energy, the Chinese Communist Party, the DOGE, and how the socialist president of Mexico “understands Trump.” They both agree that we are experiencing the “second American revolution” and lauded the gutting of the Department of Education and the vision of JD Vance,  while warning that “not everyone in Silicon Valley is our friend.” In the end, they have to ask, is Donald Trump moving too fast?    GLENN'S SPONSORS       Jase Medical     Care for yourself and loved ones when the unexpected happens.
