What is ‘Project 2025’? Transcript

  • 0:00 | project 2025 was created by the
  • 0:03 | conservative Heritage Foundation a
  • 0:05 | detailed blueprint guide for a potential
  • 0:07 | second Donald Trump Administration it
  • 0:10 | was assembled by a team including former
  • 0:11 | Trump officials but Trump says without
  • 0:14 | direct input from him and our goal is to
  • 0:17 | ensure that the conservative
  • 0:18 | Administration that takes office in
  • 0:20 | January of 2025 is ready on day one it
  • 0:23 | was published in 2023 along with a
  • 0:26 | series of training videos obtained by
  • 0:28 | the nonprofit investigative Journal
  • 0:29 | journalism group propublica Democratic
  • 0:32 | nominee vice president kamla Harris is
  • 0:35 | using project 2025 to attack Donald
  • 0:37 | Trump let me tell you it’s a detailed
  • 0:40 | and dangerous blueprint for what he will
  • 0:43 | do if he were elected president again
  • 0:46 | Bill crane is a republican political
  • 0:48 | consultant why does KLA Harris keep
  • 0:50 | talking about project 2025 well I think
  • 0:53 | there’s two reasons one is a belief that
  • 0:55 | it fires up their base whether it is
  • 0:57 | directly linked to or indirectly linked
  • 0:59 | to Trump by the presence of some of his
  • 1:01 | former staffers and the other is there’s
  • 1:03 | some pretty scary stuff in there project
  • 1:05 | 2025 calls for replacing non-political
  • 1:08 | career government employees with Trump
  • 1:10 | Loyalists and includes plans considered
  • 1:12 | extreme by many progressives including
  • 1:14 | Banning prescribing or shipping the
  • 1:16 | abortion pill eliminating or downsizing
  • 1:18 | agencies that study climate change and
  • 1:21 | rejecting lgbtq rights and any aspects
  • 1:24 | of government seen as supporting
  • 1:26 | so-called woke culture I’m Katie
  • 1:28 | Sullivan and just a a normal American
  • 1:31 | woman but to the left that makes me a
  • 1:35 | cisgendered ethno imperialist birthing
  • 1:38 | person with pronouns she
  • 1:42 | her words like that are quite a mouthful
  • 1:46 | and it’s one America needs to spit out
  • 1:49 | before we choke on it Trump has gone out
  • 1:52 | of his way to distance himself from
  • 1:54 | Project 2025 without disavowing its
  • 1:56 | content as you know and as she knows
  • 1:58 | better than anyone I have nothing to do
  • 2:00 | with project 2025 uh that’s out there I
  • 2:03 | haven’t read it I don’t want to read it
  • 2:05 | purposely I’m not going to read it
  • 2:07 | following criticism from Trump project
  • 2:09 | 2025 stopped its policy work over the
  • 2:12 | summer and the leader of the initiative
  • 2:14 | stepped down from the Heritage
  • 2:15 | Foundation but polling suggests the
  • 2:17 | majority of Voters have a negative view
  • 2:19 | of project 2025 and Harris is not likely
  • 2:22 | to stop using it to attack Trump he
  • 2:24 | doesn’t take any kind of criticism at
  • 2:26 | all so I do think one of the reasons
  • 2:28 | vice president Harris continues talk
  • 2:30 | about this is she can tell that it
  • 2:32 | bothers former president Trump with just
  • 2:34 | days left in the campaign neither
  • 2:36 | candidate will stop any attack that
  • 2:38 | might give them an edge Jim Spelman cgtn
  • 2:41 | Washington
