0:00.0 | Welcome to Pick Me Up, I'm scared. The podcast. |
0:26.0 | I'm your host, Madeline. |
0:29.3 | And I'm your co-host, David. |
0:37.3 | And today we are back with our second part of our episode on the Heritage Foundation leading into Project 2025. |
0:39.3 | Ooh, that's exciting. And I haven't looked at it comically on my ride home last, like when we were recording part one, |
0:47.3 | the woman, like my Uber driver was like, |

1:46.0 | Yeah. |
1:46.6 | So this has been the playbook that Republicans have been working from for decades. |
1:52.6 | And again, it's, I'm not saying it's not scary. |
