00:00Project 2025 is polarizing, we all know that. But for the last three days, I haven't really heard it mentioned in any of the speeches, virtually nonexistent in the speeches.
00:16Why do you believe that it's not being talked about inside FISA reform, but it's being talked about outside FISA reform?
00:23I think that's a good question, and I think the answer to that is you have Donald Trump trying to distance himself from it, and we know that's not true.
00:32You have J.D. Vance embracing it because he will be the face of it. I think they don't want to talk about it because they know the American people will start asking more questions.
00:42They're already trying to shield this 900-page document. If you look at the summary or you read the whole document, it will talk about the pillars that they have, how they're going to have, what their transition is, what their first days will be like.
00:58They already have this whole thing about the employees are going to be in a LinkedIn database, and if that's not worrisome enough, they then are creating a presidential administration academy to train these individuals to be like Donald Trump.
01:13But if you get into the guts and the meat of it, do they want to tell America that they are going to dismantle the Department of Education? Do they want to tell America that they are going to do away with diversity, equity, and inclusion and take all federal funding away?
01:30No. You know why? Because that will make more Democrats be energized. That will make black America get their attention when you talk about all of the things that they're going to do in this dictatorship that will not be good for the soul of this nation, and it won't be good for the American people.
01:48So they're hiding it, and that's what they do best. They put sound bites together that aren't attached to any real transition plan or any leadership. We saw that when Trump was president and what his four years were like.
