| 0:00.0 | Hey y'all. I'm Ashanti Golar, host of the Brown Girls Guide to Politics. |
| 0:05.1 | The BGG is the one-stop shop for women of color who want to talk and shape the world of politics. |
| 0:12.9 | This season, we're getting deep into the details of Project 2025. |
| 0:18.7 | In 900-plus pages, it's proposing dramatic conservative changes to education, |
| 0:24.3 | health care, and foreign affairs. But underpinning it all is an entirely new vision for how |

| 1:45.6 | Atlanta University. I'm asking all the candidates, what was the moment you decided I have to get |
| 1:52.0 | into this fight? I have to run for president. Can I give a turning point? I wasn't all the way to |
