YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

For over 40 years, the conservative Washington think tank Heritage Foundation has issued a “Mandate for Leadership” to guide incoming Republican administrations. The centerpiece of its latest version is Project 2025, a roughly 900-page blueprint created with input from more than 100 conservative groups. It outlines how President Donald Trump’s second administration could reshape the federal government. What are the goals of Project 2025 and what roadmap does it lay out for deconstructing the administrative state? Author David A. Graham, a staff writer with The Atlantic, is out with a new book on this very topic. “The Project: How Project 2025 Is Reshaping America,” is on bookshelves now. He joins us on The Excerpt to discuss whether or not Trump’s policy choices align with Project 2025 so far and what might lie ahead.
