  • 1:01 | FROM HERITAGE. E.J, GOOD TO SEE

  • 1:10 | YOU KNOW, SOME OF THEM FORMER,
  • 1:13 | YOU KNOW, TRUMP ASSOCIATES. SO

  • 1:17 | >> YEAH. THIS IS NOT JUST
  • 1:18 | FORMER TRUMP ASSOCIATES. WE’RE
  • 1:20 | TALKING ABOUT VERY SENIOR LEVEL
  • 1:21 | PEOPLE IN THE TRUMP
  • 1:22 | ADMINISTRATION, PEOPLE WHO PLAY
  • 1:24 | BOTH POLICY ROLES IN THE TRUMP
  • 1:25 | ADMINISTRATION AND STAFFING
  • 1:26 | ROLES IN THAT ADMINISTRATION.
  • 1:27 | THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION
  • 1:30 | PREVIOUSLY HADN’T, YOU KNOW,
  • 1:31 | HADN’T HIRED. THERE WAS AN
  • 1:32 | OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION. IT HADN’T
  • 1:33 | HIRED PEOPLE LIKE THIS TO DO
  • 1:35 | ITS POLICY PLANNING FOR THE
  • 1:36 | NEXT REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION.
  • 1:37 | BUT FOR THE TRUMP
  • 1:39 | EVERYBODY THAT WAS HIRED TO
  • 1:41 | WRITE PROJECT 2025 WAS A PART
  • 1:44 | OF THE FIRST TRUMP
  • 1:45 | ADMINISTRATION, AND I THINK WE
  • 1:46 | SHOULD EXPECT THEM TO BE A PART
  • 1:48 | OF THE SECOND. AND IN THE FIRST
  • 1:49 | ONE, THEY TRUMP IMPLEMENTED
  • 1:50 | MORE THAN 60% OF THE
  • 1:51 | RECOMMENDATIONS. IN THAT 900
  • 1:54 | PAGE DOCUMENT. AND SO I THINK
  • 1:56 | THERE’S EVERY REASON TO EXPECT
  • 1:58 | WE’LL SEE IT AGAIN.
  • 1:59 | >> WHAT WAS INTERESTING ABOUT
  • 2:00 | THIS WAS THAT WHEN I WAS IN
  • 2:02 | MILWAUKEE OVER THE PAST COUPLE
  • 2:03 | OF DAYS, ACTUALLY SAW THE
  • 2:04 | REPUBLICAN PLATFORM AND IT WAS,
  • 2:06 | YOU KNOW, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A
  • 2:07 | PAMPHLET HANDED OUT. PROJECT
  • 2:09 | 2025 IS 900 PAGES, AND IT GETS
  • 2:12 | INTO THINGS LIKE THE LOOK OF
  • 2:14 | THE CIVIL SERVICE, WHICH IS
  • 2:16 | GOING TO AFFECT A LOT OF PEOPLE
  • 2:19 | THROUGHOUT DMV WHO WORK IN THE
  • 2:20 | FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. WHAT ARE
  • 2:21 | THEY ACTUALLY GOING TO DO IF
  • 2:23 | THIS WERE TO EVER BE
  • 2:25 | IMPLEMENTED?
  • 2:26 | >> YOU KNOW, THERE’S 922 PAGES
  • 2:27 | OF, POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS. AND
  • 2:30 | SO THERE’S A LOT THAT THEY
  • 2:32 | WOULD DO, AND THEY’RE VERY
  • 2:33 | SPECIFIC. RIGHT. SO YOU READ
  • 2:35 | THAT PLATFORM. IT’S A LIST OF
  • 2:36 | TRUMP TWEETS, RIGHT? IT’S
  • 2:37 | DIRECTION. IT’S VIBES. IT’S NOT
  • 2:39 | PROMISES. IT’S NOT, YOU KNOW,
  • 2:40 | SPECIFIC THINGS. WE USUALLY SEE
  • 2:42 | PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES DO.
  • 2:43 | THEY PUT OUT WHITE PAPERS. THEY
  • 2:46 | WRITE THOSE PLATFORMS, THE ONLY
  • 2:48 | REPUBLICAN PLAN THAT WE HAVE
  • 2:49 | RIGHT NOW FOR THE NEXT
  • 2:51 | ADMINISTRATION IS PROJECT 2025,
  • 2:54 | AND, YOU KNOW, IT’S VERY
  • 2:55 | SPECIFIC. IT’S NOT JUST, YOU
  • 2:57 | KNOW, WE DON’T LIKE THE
  • 2:58 | DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. IT’S
  • 2:59 | HERE’S TEN THINGS WE CAN DO TO,
  • 3:01 | YOU KNOW, TO MAKE THE
  • 3:03 | DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION MUCH
  • 3:04 | MORE CONSERVATIVE OR HERE’S TEN
  • 3:06 | DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE CAN
  • 3:07 | OUTLAW ABORTION, OR WE CAN FIRE
  • 3:09 | >> SO, E.J, WHAT’S DIFFERENT
  • 3:12 | ABOUT THIS THAN A TRADITIONAL
  • 3:14 | >> SURE. WELL, IN MANY WAYS,
  • 3:18 | IT’S SIMILAR TO A TRADITIONAL
  • 3:19 | TRANSITION PLAN. THE HERITAGE
  • 3:20 | FOUNDATION HAS DONE THIS FOR
  • 3:21 | EVERY REPUBLICAN
  • 3:23 | PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION SINCE
  • 3:25 | 1980, IT’S MUCH LARGER. AND
  • 3:27 | IT’S NOT JUST THE HERITAGE
  • 3:30 | FOUNDATION. THIS TIME. THEY’VE
  • 3:31 | ASSEMBLED A GROUP TO HELP STAFF
  • 3:33 | THE NEXT TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
  • 3:35 | THAT’S A LIST OF THE MOST FAR
  • 3:38 | RIGHT ORGANIZATIONS IN
  • 3:39 | WASHINGTON, D.C. IT’S NOT, YOU
  • 3:41 | KNOW, FORMER BUSH
  • 3:42 | ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS. IT’S
  • 3:44 | NOT PEOPLE FROM PLACES LIKE THE
  • 3:45 | CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THE
  • 3:46 | AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE,
  • 3:48 | IT’S THAT PART THE TRUMP PART
  • 3:50 | OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. AND
  • 3:52 | THEY’RE PREPARED TO, YOU KNOW,
  • 3:53 | GIVE DONALD TRUMP THOUSANDS OF
  • 3:56 | APPOINTEES THAT HE CAN APPOINT
  • 3:57 | AS SOON AS HE BECOMES PRESIDENT
  • 3:58 | AGAIN, IF HE BECOMES PRESIDENT
