Trump, Project 2025, and American autocracy | The Marc Steiner Show

The potential return of the Trump administration looms large in US politics—and a new initiative called Project 2025 offers a roadmap for a redux of the Donald. Drawn from an extensive policy platform known as the Mandate for Leadership, which was initially authored by the Heritage Foundation in the Reagan years, Project 2025 lays out a plan to stack the federal government with thousands of die-hard conservative loyalists who can execute an authoritarian agenda where the mercurial meister of the MAGA movement could fail. DC Bureau Chief of Mother Jones David Corn joins The Marc Steiner Show for a look at what Project 2025 has in store.

Get rid of all those we gave power to and bring in people that know what to do. The ones for the people.

🗽⚖🗽 One thing certain 2 things for sure. 👤👤👤 Trump can't do this all by himself. WeThePeople have got to ban together. LAW ENFORCEMENT, FBI, DOJ has got to get busy taking down all of his mechanisms.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[marklee]

Using the US currency against 'law' that is enacted by the other party, why is that not against 'law'? Aside from that, these 'parties' are in perpetual struggle, with We The People caught in the middle.

[biglebowski]

People are disconnected with both parties. Trump vs Biden in 2024? Seriously? Reset is due and it won't be pretty

[GerardVaughan-qeml]

Yes things would be tough with one less war to pay for.

[doyourownresearch]

The more people talk about the project 2025 policies i love those policies whoever came up with the policies needs a medal

[heidicarter]

I live in a politically diverse area. The right seems to be much better organized. If we do not keep our democracy we lose everything.

[AbeldeBetancourt]

Much respect for Marc Steiner but this discussion is extremely dumb.

It seems some people need to regress to a more primitive political view every four years.

Have you watched the news lately?

[iwbcman]

Marc I love your show, but David Corn from Mother Jones? talk about scraping the bottom of the barrell....Mother Jones would be turning in her

[davidthelen]

But Donnie, we are just getting the world to burn to the ground. Why would you want to stop complete and utter madness

[janejones]

Let's just go back to the King and Queen days, why did we ever have a Revolution for in the first place? 😮

[michaelzurkinden]

PS: remember Obama had total control in his first term… why on earth didn’t he implement any of these policies- except Medicare (a tiny step) yet remember this was actually Romney care ! Intellectual laziness this interview

[stuartwray]

The "lesser of two evils" (Democrats vs Republicans) no longer carries weight. The system is broken.

[jackwilliams]

This description is extremely vague, marc is not making the case, what he is talking about seems to me to be happening already on the other side . we are hearing speculation at this time .

[Danielle-zqkb]

6:48 The US Constitution agrees when it forbids anyone engaging in or inciting an insurrection from holding public office. We have sitting members of Congress who should be removed for this — including the current speaker.

[michignamymichigan]

Why not go back to fair and balanced reporting?

[randybobandy]

Project 2025 is terrifying. We're regressing.

[lawrencelancaster]

Flood the zone like and share this broadcast
Salute Mark excellent segment

[allencraig]

The laugh that came following the mention of the left in-fighting over the issue of the genocide in Gaza was bone chilling. Do these people have a shred of moral integrity?

[emiebex]

Trump literally called his next term "A Revenge Term" we absolutely cannot let this psychopath get anywhere near Washington DC ever again.
