Allow Us to Explain: Project 2025
Manage episode 438186396 series 3561677
In this episode of "Allow Us to Explain," Christopher No discusses Project 2025, a controversial political initiative by The Heritage Foundation, centered around their viral publication, Mandate For Leadership: The Conservative Promise. While Heritage claims it aims to dismantle the administrative state and restore self-governance, critics have labeled it a threat to civil liberties. Joining the conversation are Connor Chung, ONC’s director of policy content and strategy, Maeve Fishel, a social issues policy writer, and Tania Ruedas-Ortiz, ONC’s director of community events. The discussion covers the Heritage Foundation's long-term influence on today's political landscape, questioning the actual power of independent regulatory agencies and whether or not conservatives are overestimating their authority. The panel also scrutinizes the potential risks of replacing one "deep state" with another through this initiative, questions the validity of the label of a Christian Nationalist Manifesto, and investigates Trump's distancing from these policies. Additionally, the conversation seeks to identify any potential compromises within Project 2025 and considers whether this vision aligns with the future that Gen Z envisions.
