Summary
In this episode, Bill discusses the potential impact of the recent attempted assassination on the 2024 presidential race. He speaks with Jeff Dufour, editor in chief of the National Journal, about the short-term and long-term effects of the incident. They discuss the possibility of a temporary bump in support for Republicans, but ultimately expect the race to settle back into the usual patterns. They also discuss the rhetoric surrounding the incident and the potential for increased security measures at political rallies.
In the second half of the episode, Bill interviews Congressman Jared Huffman about Project 2025, a document outlining Trump's plans for a second term. Huffman explains that the document includes extreme measures such as a national abortion ban, the firing of federal employees who do not pledge loyalty to Trump, and the abolition of the Department of Education. Huffman and his task force are working to raise awareness about Project 2025 and plan to hold hearings in September to further discuss its implications.

| 1:04.0 | Hello, good friends. |
| 1:08.0 | Good to see you back here on the Bill Press Pied. Well, the world's been turned upside down since we last spoke for sure with the attempted assassination of Donald Trump at last Saturday's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. That shocking event will certainly change the trajectory of the 2024 presidential campaign, but the big question is, how? |
| 1:31.2 | Let's start out. I strongly disagree with those hate-filled Republicans and some bedwetting |
| 1:37.3 | Democrats who argue this means the 2024 campaigns all but over, that the assassination attempt in July assures Donald Trump's |
| 1:47.2 | victory in November, to which I say, baloney. Look, we're all relieved Trump survived, but he's |
| 1:54.1 | still the same Donald Trump. He still refuses to accept the 2020 election results. His speeches |
| 2:00.1 | are still filled with violent rhetoric. |
| 2:02.6 | He still promises to terminate parts of the Constitution. And he still promises to weaponize |
| 2:08.6 | the Justice Department to prosecute his political opponents and unfriendly reporters. |
| 2:15.4 | So today we have a special edition of the Bill Press pod. In the second half of |
| 2:21.1 | today's podcast, we're going to talk with Congressman Jared Huffman about Trump's plans for a |
| 2:27.1 | second term as outlined in Project 2025, a document he once phrased but is now trying to run away from. But we begin today with assessing |
