| 0:00.0 | All right, listeners, welcome to episode 103 of No Year Enemy. I'm Matt Sittman, your podcast co-host, |
| 0:05.7 | and I'm not here as always with my great friend, Sam Mother Bell. However, he's very much a participant |
| 0:10.3 | in the conversation we're about to share with you. This is our first episode after Donald Trump's |
| 0:15.8 | decisive victory in the presidential contest. We recorded this episode Thursday, November 7th. So, for example, |
| 0:23.0 | we discussed Susie Wiles, who has been named Trump's White House Chief of Staff. However, |
| 0:28.0 | that happened after we recorded this. So just to note in case there's any other late breaking |
| 0:32.3 | news or votes that are found or other developments as Trump hurdles toward his inauguration and second |
| 0:40.4 | term in January. Our guest for this episode is Ian Ward. Ian's a reporter at Politico. Some of you |
| 0:46.3 | may remember him. He wrote one of the first and best profiles of Know Your Enemy a couple years ago. |
| 0:51.7 | But since then, he's been doggedly reporting on the post-liberal |
| 0:55.8 | right, the MAGA World intellectual currents, Project 2025, and he spent a lot of time writing |
| 1:02.4 | about J.D. Vance. He's interviewed Vance. He followed Vance on the campaign trail, especially |
| 1:08.0 | in Pennsylvania. So we wanted to have E.N. both because he's been out there on the |
| 1:12.3 | campaign trail. He's followed the campaigns. He saw J.D. Vance and others on the stump. But he's also |
| 1:18.4 | extremely fluent in and familiar with the world of Donald Trump, the figures who populate his |
| 1:25.0 | circles, who might have influence in a second Trump turn. We talk about |
| 1:29.4 | the results, but we also talk about who's up and who's down, who will have Trump's year early in |
| 1:35.9 | the administration. How's Project 2025 shaping up? What do we think the first days of Trump's |
| 1:43.2 | administration will look like? So we discuss both |
| 1:45.9 | the election and what's to come, and we couldn't have asked for a better guest than Ian. We've |
| 1:50.9 | linked to a lot of his articles in the show notes, so please follow him in his work if you don't |
| 1:56.7 | already. We highly recommend it. Well, we should get some housekeeping items. As always, we're |
