Project 2025: A Hellish Legal Vision For America ft. Liz Dye

you might have heard about project 2025 it's the handmaiden esque conservative plan to reshape the federal government of the next Presidential Administration it was created by the conservative think take the Heritage Foundation and has deep connections to the Trump Administration but of course it's so sweeping and Draconian that even Donald Trump has had to try to attempt to distance himself from it it's 900 pages of crazy pants insanity and while Trump has said he doesn't know anything about it it could form the backbone of his next presidency honestly there was only one person who could

do justice to the rage inducing sweeping legal and governmental changes that project 2025 is seeking to implement chaos lawyer Liz Die thanks Devon I've spent the past couple weeks pouring over this Manifesto and I think I've got a pretty good handle on it these guys really really hate immigrants and pronouns and they love local control well unless the locality wants to let women control their own bodies or treat undocumented immigrants like human beings or be nice to Gay and trans kids also they're really mad about porn the introduction refers to four broad fronts that will

decide America's future number one restore the family is the centerpiece of American life and protect our children number two dismantle the administrative State and return self-governance to the American people number three defend our nation's sovereignty borders and Bounty against Global threats number four secure our god-given individual rights to live freely what our constitution calls the blessings of liberty what makes these four pieces of the conservative promise so valuable to the next president is that they cut through superficial distractions and focus on the moral and foundational challenges America faces at this moment of history and okay

who doesn't want to protect children right I mean raise your hand if you hate Freedom ber ber but as always the devil is in the details and you don't have to scroll very far to figure out what those details are because on the very next page these guys tell you very clearly that they think America's problems could be solved if everyone would just get married and stay that way who's to blame for what ails us unmarried mothers because there is no government program that can replace the whole in a child's Soul cut out by the

absence of a father fatherlessness is one of the principal sources of American poverty crime mental illness teen suicide substance abuse rejection of the church and high school dropouts that's a bold claim although they cite no source for it nor is it clear what role the government should play in ensuring that children stay in the church in anyway how is the government going to convince parents to stay married they're going to cut food stamps obviously because if you can feed your children without a husband then um and then they're going to delete the term sexual orientation

and gender identity diversity equity and inclusion Dei gender gender equality gender Equity gender awareness gender sensitive abortion reproductive Health Reproductive Rights and any other term used to deprive Americans of their first amendment rights from every Federal rule agency regulation contract Grant regulation and piece of legislation that exists after that they'll Outlaw porn and then they're going to ban abortion Nationwide and Deport 20 million undocumented people and then will all live happily married Ever After also tax cuts for for big business in the 1% oh and they're going to cut off funding for PBS in the

Center for Public Broadcasting because Big Bird okay guys glove up we're going in Project 2025 is a plan to reshape the entire country using the power of the federal government it's got a chapter on how they plan to reform every major agency of the executive branch and so it's a little weird that the document mentions abortion 199 times because it's been illegal for the federal government to fund abortion since 1971 with exceptions for rape incest and to protect the life of the pregnant person the Supreme Court overturned roie Wade in the do's decision in 2022

theoretically returning the issue of abortion to the states so how can abortion figure so prominently in a blueprint for federal policy one of the main things these guys want to do is Ban abortion Nationwide so the document contemplates all the ways that the federal government can use its power over education Insurance labor regulations and health care to ensure that no one can access abortion anywhere in America and they want to wield foreign aid to try and make sure that no one in the rest of the world has access to abortion either as with most of

project 2025 the chapter on their plans for the Department of Health and Human Services was written by a trump Administration alum in this case Roger srino who worked at the justice department under Donald Trump he believes that we should eliminate the HHS reproductive Healthcare access task force and install a pro-life task force to ensure that all of the Department's divisions seek to use their authority to promote the life and health of women and their unborn children additionally HHS should return to being known as Department of Life by explicitly rejecting the notion that abortion is Healthcare

abortion is a complicated issue people of good faith can disagree here but the problem with project 2025 is that it pretends the issue is not complicated even States like Texas which ban abortion completely have a provision in the law providing an exception to protect the life and health of the mother because in fact some women will die or suffer grave Health consequences if they cannot access abortion whether that provision in the law actually ensures access to care is another matter some pregnancies are a result of rape or incest and most Americans think it should be

legal for women to access abortion in those tragic circumstances but project 2025 simply pretends all that away with ominous references to the global abortion industry as if there was a company called big abortion that was advertising two for one deals on every platform to get you to come down to the abortion Plex and hop into the stups for another round seino wants the CDC to fund studies into the risks and complications of abortion and ensure that it corrects and does not promote misinformation regarding the comparative health and psycholog iCal benefits of child birth versus the

health and psychological risks of intentionally taking a human life through abortion and he plans to quote Drive investigative review of literature for a variety of issues including the effect of abortion on prematurity and breast cancer but there is no link between abortion and breast cancer and there's no link between abortion and depression and that's not how science works you don't start with your preferred policy position and then go and try and create studies to back it up but project 2025 isn't just waiting for evidence to come in before implementing its policy goals they want to

reverse the FDA authorization of mea prone the most commonly used drug for medication abortions they claim that it's untested and unsafe despite the fact that it was approved in America in 2000 and has been in use in France since the 80s they want to ban mailing me for prone across state lines under the comto ACT which okay more on that in a second project 2025 wants the federal government to discourage abortion tourism by which they mean they intend to stop women in states which ban abortion from crossing state lines to get the care they need

they also want to block any federal money going to organizations like Planned Parenthood which provides both abortion care and a whole array of other health services so if you want to be screened for breast or cervical cancer at Planned Parenthood well you are just out of luck and you know if you don't want people to invoke the handmaid's taale when they're talking about your program maybe don't use the words abortion surveillance and complain that the government isn't tracking abortions closely enough and put in writing that you plan to force doctors to ask women why they're

choosing to have an abortion and then report the answer to the Federal government so if you have a period tracker on your phone no you don't run it's not just abortion that these project 2025 guys are so weird about they have a lot of thoughts about birth control too they want to ban the morning after pill which they call a potential abor of patient it is not they want to ban medical schools from teaching new doctors how to safely perform an abortion and they want to cut Government funding for Condoms from the Women's Health Initiative

because they say that condoms have nothing to do with protecting Women's Health which suggests a fundamental lack of understanding of human biology can this same procedure then be done in a pregnancy following swallowing a camera and helping the doctor determine what the situation is with the Mr chairman and representative uh it cannot be done in pregnancy simply because when you swallow a pill it would not end up in the vagina fascinating instead they want the CDC to update its public messaging about the unsurpassed effectiveness of modern fertility awareness-based methods of Family Planning and stop publishing

Communications that conflate such methods with the long Eclipse Rhythm or calendar methods uh fertility awareness-based methods involve tracking your menstrual cycle and abstaining from sex during ovulation when you're most likely to become pregnant the Rhythm method involves tracking your menstrual cycle and abstaining from sex during ovulation when you're most likely to become pregnant neither one of these provides any protection from sexually transmitted infections and both have a roughly 20% failure rate over a year or is they used to say back in the day you know what they call people who use the Rhythm method parents

birth control pills iuds and even condoms are more than 98% effective at preventing pregnancy so when project 2025 talks about the unsurpassed effectiveness of so-called natural Family Planning there may be leaving out one or two relevant data points but at least it's legal to ship an ovulation monitor through the mail because one of the ways project 2025 contemplates reducing access to birth control and abortion is by Reviving The The Comstock act an 1873 statute that made it illegal to use the post office to send birth control and pornography it was named for Anthony comto an

anti-masturbation activist who claimed that books are feeders for brothel and burn tons of them the law was immediately and successfully challenged on First Amendment grounds but it remains on the books and project 2025 envisions using it to prevent the shipment of medication abortion drugs and anything else they consider an abor ofation including many popular birth control devices in medicines but what should the government do to prevent the spread of STI well project 2025 has a plan for that too and that plan is to encourage us all to get married no I'm serious their plan to

stop goria is to focus on strengthening marriage and sexual risk avoidance and although the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in 2015 the Heritage Foundation guys do not mean happily married gay couples they mean heterosexual couples because quote family is comprised of a married mother father and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered ation and healthy society and so for the sake of child well-being program should affirm that children require and deserve both the love and nurturing of a mother and the play and protection of a father in fact it's not just gay marriage that's

in the project 2025 crosshairs this is a plan to erase lgbtq plus people from public life entirely the authors of project 2025 seem to think that most of the nation's problems could be solved if we could just get rid of gender identity or what they call the unscientific notion that men can become women women and vice versa for instance they'll quote restore standards of lethality and Excellence to the US military by kicking out everyone who is transgender or HIV positive to deify foreign aid the government should remove all references examples definitions photos and language on

USA ID websites in agency Publications and policies and in all agency contracts and grants that include the following terms gender gender equality gender Equity gender diverse individuals gender aware gender sensitive Etc it should also remove references to abortion reproductive health and sexual and Reproductive Rights and controversial sexual education materials the solution to all the nation cills besides marriage of course is to roll back the Great awokening by removing protections for transgender students forcing schools to out kids to their parents Banning gender affirming care for minors and rolling back bands on discriminating against lgbtq plus people

at work and in public accommodations they even want to revoke the National Education organization's public charter because the nation's largest teachers union quote promotes radical racial and gender ideologies in schools and how are they going to fix public education get rid of those pesky pronouns this would apparently make it illegal for teachers to respect their students request to be called by anything quote other than the name listed on a student's birth certificate without the written permission of a student's parents or Guardians this would apparently ban nicknames but it's a small price to pay to win

the war on woke sorry Billy oops William and while they're at it they want to make Dei illegal too yeah cuz if it's not trans people ruining everything it's divers Unity equity and inclusion in fact the project 2025 is are so spun up about what they call critical race theory that they want to conduct purges at organizations like the treasury Department this document proposes to identify any Treasury Department employee at any level who attended diversity training under the Biden or Obama administration and treat the participation in any critical race Theory or Dei initiative without objecting

on constitutional or moral grounds as per se grounds for termination of employment and the project 2025 guys don't just want to fire anybody in government who sat through a diversity Workshop they want the justice department to quote use the full force of federal prosecutorial resources to investigate and prosecute all state and local governments institutions of higher education corporations and any other private employers who are engaged in discrimination in violation of constitutional and legal requirements by which they mean they want to prosecute employers they believe are making too many diversity hires and if that happens to

have the chilling effect of discouraging companies from hiring people who are not white men well they're good with it yeah and if you are prosecuted under project 2025 is craziness you'll probably want a good lawyer because the country has some serious issues but if you want a great lawyer my Law Firm the eagle team can help if you've gotten into a car crash suffered a data breach especially if you got one of those letters saying that your social security number was leaked or are dealing with a workers comp or social security issue we can represent

Russ VA the former head of the Office of Management and budget in the Trump White House and to staff this thing up they brought in Trump's former Personnel Chief Johnny mckinty Heritage is the OG conservative think tank founded during the nixit administration to advocate for pro business policies and against the global spread of Communism it's been highly in uential in every Republican Administration since Reagan and during Democratic administrations dedicated itself to opposing everything from single-payer healthc care to student loan relief since the end of the Cold War Heritage has increasingly thrown itself into culture War

issues particularly opposing abortion and gay rights Kevin Roberts is a dedicated conservative stalwart who headed up the lobbying armor Heritage before becoming its leader he's praised hungary's Proto fascist president Victor Orban who says that hungarians do not want to become a mixed race and Roberts is open that his organization's mission is institutionalizing trumpism so while Trump insists that he knows nothing about project 2025 Robert has been cleared that he and Trump are part of the same movement and he is laying out the agenda for the next Trump Administration Russ VA is a self-described Christian nationalist

who serves as the current policy director of the Republican National Committee in 2016 he wrote that Muslims do not simply have a deficient theology they do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ his son and they stand condemned he believes we're living in a post-constitutional moment and the only solution is to massively centralize power in the Office of the President conscripting the entire Federal bureaucracy as a tool to reorder Society in accordance with conservative values if you lived through the first Trump Administration you may remember it was something of a chaotic time with

the White House pumping out executive orders banning all Muslims from entering the country or kicking all transgender people out of the military or announcing the immediate withdrawal of all troops from Afghanistan or declaring an emergency and raing Military funds to build a border wall Roberts and VA think that the problem wasn't that Trump's ideas were crazy or illegal but that there were too many disloyal civil servants who refuse to implement them but on the point of follow-up question is there a a policy solution or proposal in this in this book which is is going to

be uh put out imminently that you're most interested in you're most excited about well I think one that's gotten a lot of press uh is schedule F and schedule F was something that materialized at the end of the administration that the president did to be able to say that if you're working on policy for the president you're an atwi employe so this time around they've prepared project 2025 as a blueprint so they can hit the ground running and to make sure there's no deep State sabotage they plan to destroy long-standing protections for career government employees

who currently can't be fired for perceived disloyalty instead much of the federal government will be staffed with political appointees who serve at the pleasure of the president Johnny MC Rose from being Trump's bodyman during the 2016 campaign to running the presidential personnel office which staffs the entire executive branch during the final year of Trump's presidency mckinty began administering loyalty tests at the various executive branch agencies in attempting to push out anyone who had expressed a negative opinion of trump or his policies in conjunction with project 2025 mckinty is assembling a presidential personel database preparing to

staff the next Trump Administration with magga faithful he also started a dating app called the right stuff so that Trump supporters won't get their feelings hurt by all the swipe lefts on Tinder what are you looking for in a partner they just have to be a conservative definitely someone that wants to have kids I like an independent man personally I like the alpha Vibe which is weird because who wouldn't want to date a guy like this so I always keep this fake Hollywood money in my car so when a homeless person asks for money then

I give them like a fake $5 bill so I feel good about myself they feel good and then when they go to use it they get arrested so I'm actually like helping clean up the community you know getting them off the street oh yeah that's really him okay now let's talk about what project 2025 would do to education in this country aside from Banning pronouns maybe you're a little kid just trying to figure out how to drink your juice and play in the sandbox and recognize your ABCs project 2025 would eliminate Head Start which subsidizes

child care for 820,000 poor kids between the ages of 3 and 5 or maybe you're a kid who relies on getting lunch and possibly breakfast at school project 2025 wants to cut way back on what it calls a federal catering program and ax meals in the summer for kids who aren't in summer school oh you're a fourth grader who isn't enrolled in classes this summer guess you can wait till September to eat on the bright side during the next Administration kids will be able to earn more pocket money by taking on dangerous jobs that are

currently off limits to them project 2025 plans to repeal Hazard order regulations which bar teenagers from Risky jobs in factories and mines because quot some young adults show an interest in inherently dangerous jobs people don't want children working anymore in fact they want them in school now during their most productive years when their tiny fingers are still small enough to fit into the crevices of the Machinery maybe you're applying to college and you need a student loan project 2025 aims to end federally subsidized student loans on the theory that the marketplace will do it more

cheaply and efficiently and if the government does make Education Loans project 2025 wants to treat those as an economic investment which must be repaid in interest and principle rather than an investment in the education of the American population they want to roll back all loan forgiveness and end loan abatements for borrowers who do socially valuable things with their degrees like provide healthc care in underserved rural areas how will they solve the rural healthc care crisis well they'll reduce the regulatory burden according to the Center for American progress a liberal Think Tank borrowers would pay about

$3,000 more a year under this plan in fact the project 2025 guys think the department of Education which they call a convenient One-Stop shop for the woke education cartel should be abolished in its entirety and speaking of stuff they'd like to kill you can wave goodbye to free weather reports the chapter on the Environmental Protection Agency is written by Mandy gunaa who was chief of staff at the EPA under Trump she previously served as house counsel to the late Senator James inhof who once waved a snowball around on the floor of the Senate to prove

that climate change wasn't real yep that's her sitting right behind him gunaa refers to the quote perceived threat of climate change and Advocates rolling back pollution standards across the board elsewhere in the project 2025 blueprint are plans to end all subsidies for clean energy concentrate on producing food cheaply whatever the cost of the environment eliminate Energy Efficiency standards for appliances roll back mileage standards for gas powerered cars and more or less ban the entire federal government from taking climate change into account when crafting US policy it'll start getting cooler I wish you just you just

watch and they'd like to withdraw us from the Paris climate agreement the multinational framework designed to reduce the impact of climate change worldwide toward that end they plan to get rid of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration AKA Noah which houses multiple environmental agencies including the National Weather Service Thomas Gilman assistant Secretary of Commerce under Trump wrote that together these form a colossal operation that has become one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry and as such is harmful to Future us prosperity he doesn't believe in the Fatal conceit of planning for

the unplannable and if he gets his way that will include planning to take an umbrella when you leave the house because currently the National Weather Service provides free weather data as part of its environmental Information Services but Gilman thinks the government should fully commercialize its forecasting operations and sell that data to private companies so that they can monetize it kaching and now let's talk about something near and dear to Donald Trump's heart at a rally in New Hampshire Trump railed against the southern border crisis and people crossing illegally into the US they're poisoning the blood

of our country that's what they've done they poisoned Trump has long dreamed of mass deportations and recently promised to deport 5% of the US population including many of the workers we rely on to supply us with cheap meat and produce project 2025 calls for the Department of Homeland Security to be replaced with a new Standalone border and immigration agency at the cabinet level effectively centralizing power in the president the project 2025 guys get very touchy when people accuse them of planning to build concentration camps but they are called calling to immediately round up any undocumented

person no matter how long they've been here or how little danger they pose to the community and turn them over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for detention they're planning for a significant increase in detention space raising the daily available number of beds to 100,000 and that number would include children as well the author of this chapter is Jee Hamilton who drafted Trump's child separation policy the last time around 5,000 children were taken from their parents by the US Government after which DHS has simply lost track of hundreds of them who were never reunited with their

families Hamilton plans to restart this program deporting migrant children to their home countries as quickly as possible this would require ending the Flores settlement agreement which requires the government to place unaccompanied children in non-secure facilities that are State licensed to care for dependent children instead they were return to quote large-scale use of temporary facilities for example tents and they don't mean this they mean this so yeah we'll be doing the kids intense thing again project 2025 plans to repeal section 235 of the William Wilbur Force trafficking victims protection reauthorization act of 2008 aka the tvpr

which provides numerous immigration benefits to unaccompanied Alien Children and only encourages more parents to send their children across the border illegally and unaccompanied and they want to cancel temporary protected status which prevents the deportation of all manner of refugees including thousands of ukrainians who fled after Putin invaded their country they intend to end H2 temporary worker programs and drastically curtail the use of T visas for victims of human trafficking they'd also like America's Refugee system to be pay to play with much higher fees on the theory that people fleeing for their lives probably have several

hundred dollars hidden in their backpacks to pay for processing much of this would require Congressional cooperation but if they don't get it the project 2025 guys advise the Trump Administration to simply pull the fire alarm and claim emergency authorization to do it anyway they should quote create an authority against into the title 42 public health authority that has been used during the covid-19 pandemic to expel illegal aliens across the border immediately when certain non-health conditions are met such as loss of the operational control of the Border actually Trump did exactly that the first time around

when Congress refused to appropriate funds for his Mexico border wall you know the one Mexico is going to pay for and project 2025 wants him to do it again but this time for the entire immigration system just claim you've lost control of the border and do whatever you want let the Supreme Court sort it out later right and then we'll get another bad ruling and then we'll end up in the Supreme Court and hopefully we'll get a fair shake well that's all horrible but remember like 20 minutes ago when we said these guys want to

ban porn well they do in fact they want to throw anyone who makes or distributes pornography in jail here's what Robert said about it in the forward to project 2025 pornography manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children for instance is not a political gordian KN inextricably binding up disperate claims about Free Speech property Rights sexual Liberation and child welfare it has no claim to first amendment protection its pveers are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as

any crime pornography should be outlawed the people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned Educators and public Librarians who purvey it should be classified as registered sex offenders and Telecommunications and Technology firms that facilitate spread should be shuttered okay it's a lot first of all pornography is 100% protected by the first amendment in a 1969 case called Stanley V Georgia the Supreme Court ruled that the first amendment protects the right to private possession of pornography the Court held unanimously that if the First Amendment means anything it means that a state has no business telling

a man sitting alone in his house what books he may read or what films he may watch our whole constitutional Heritage Rebels at the thought of giving government the power to control men's minds and in a 1973 case called Miller California the Supreme Court articulated what became known as the Miller test under the First Amendment The Government Can Only ban speech if it's obscene and they and they don't mean obscene like gross they mean that you can only ban materials which quote appeal to a morbid interest in sex as opposed to a healthy interest in

sex which depict or describe in a patently offensive way sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law and the material must taken as a whole lack serious literary artistic political or scientific value and while the project 2025 guys may have a moral objection to pornography that doesn't mean they can Outlaw so don't go deleting your browser history just yet but let's cut the BS They Don't Really intend to shut down half the internet and shudder the billion dollar porn industry and you know that because the second part of that quote talks about arresting teachers

and public Librarians for Distributing it which is something that is not happening when was the last time you walked into a school library and said Miss Sparkle can you please take me to your ex-rated movie section C that's not a thing but what is a thing is Florida's don't say gay law that tried to make it a crime for school libraries to carry books that had gayer trans characters or for teachers to talk about gender identity or to even acknowledge that gay people exist Roberts talks about children Suffering The Toxic normalization of transgenderism with drag

queens and pornography invading their school libraries and pornography manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children he's not trying to ban porn he's trying to ban anyone who treats gptq plus people like they have a right to exist in society we're back to the pronouns again but this time if you use them right they'll put you in jail so much for local control and keeping government out of your business yeah as we mentioned project 2025 is so toxic that even Trump has tried to distance himself from it he posted quote

I know nothing about project 2025 and I have no idea who is behind it I disagree with some of the things they're saying and some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal now this is all despite the fact that many of project 202's authors are part of his administration are likely to be pegged for a second Trump Administration but Rolling Stone reports that quote Trump has been privately and very bitterly complaining about the abortion policies laid out in the lengthy project 2025 Manifesto and trashing the project 2025 linked lunatics who keep demanding

unpopular abortion bans and restrictions further they report that one in Project 202's contributor said quote Trump can try to distance himself from this but 70 to 80% of the people who wrote the book are going to be in his second Administration the cabinet under secretaries assistant secretaries the senior advisers they're all going to be the foot soldiers in a second Trump Administration you can't look at this constellation of organizations and people without seeing that they're all his people and now Paul Dan the director of project 2025 is stepping down from the project potentially to give

Trump additional cover now some have reported this as project 2025 shutting down but that doesn't really make any sense because it's a policy paper the work is largely done and the road map is laid but if project 2025 makes you concerned for our nation you can do something about it with today's sponsor tab for democracy without even needing to get up from the couch because t for democracy is a team effort between vote America and T for change to harness your internet surfing for a good cause it's easy to use and you can download it
