Summary

Why is Everyone Talking About Project 2025 & Should You Be Worried? How Dangerous Is It? What Does it Mean for America? Is Project 2025 Trump’s agenda? No matter which side of the political aisle you're on, America is being reshaped, and it’s important to be aware of these big changes that will impact so many of us. As Trump's first 100 days in office for a second term comes to a close, we’re breaking down Project 2025 - what it is, who’s really behind it, how it’s already restructuring society, what else is to come, the global implications, and why we need to start finally taking it seriously. David A. Graham (political & national affair staff writer at The Atlantic, author of The Project: How Project 2025 Is Reshaping America) gives his political analysis of the hidden dangers of Project 2025 — from mass federal layoffs and the erasure of environmental protections to the terrifying push for Christian-only values and a government that could soon look unrecognizable. With whispers of invading Canada, reclaiming the Panama Canal, and rewriting democracy itself, Graham dives deep into how this political earthquake could dismantle the U.S. system as we know it — and why now, more than ever, we need to wake up, speak out, and fight for what’s left of due process, education, and basic rights. You can't afford to miss this episode of MBB!

0:24.8	This is an attempt to transform so many things about the government and about society.
0:28.3	You have contributors to the project all over the administration.
0:31.2	They are accruing all this power and they're taking over these bodies that the president
0:34.5	hasn't traditionally had control over.
0:36.3	They want to use all of these things to support his political ambition. Trump wants to have all these powers for his own reasons,
0:41.2	and they want to have all these powers for these sort of ideological reasons of both constitutional
0:45.3	law and also the Christian worldview. And so they found a way to work together because they have a shared
0:50.2	interest. It feels like it's only a matter of time before we see the executive branch try to defy a judicial
0:56.2	order.
0:57.2	And if we get there, that's a really dangerous moment.
0:59.3	Suddenly you have an authoritarian government.
