Hidden-camera video shows Project 2025 co-author discussing his secret work preparing for a second Trump term

[Guno צְבִי]

Last month, Russell Vought sat in a five-star Washington, DC, hotel suite, bowing his head in prayer with two men he thought were relatives of a wealthy conservative donor.

Vought, one of the key authors of Project 2025, a right-wing blueprint for a second Trump term, expected the meeting would help his think tank secure a substantial contribution. For nearly two hours, he talked candidly about his behind-the-scenes work to prepare policy for former President Donald Trump, his expansive views on presidential power, his plans to restrict pornography and immigration, and his complaints that the GOP was too focused on “religious liberty” instead of “Christian nation-ism.”

But the men Vought was talking to actually worked for a British journalism nonprofit and were secretly recording him the entire time.

The nonprofit, the Centre for Climate Reporting, published a video of the meeting on Thursday – offering a window into the thinking of one of the top policy minds of the MAGA movement, who’s been floated as a possible White House chief of staff.

I'm always torn by these "hidden camera" gotcha interviews. It's such a skeevy way to go about things but given that the folks behind P2025 will hardly be forthcoming about their motives etc. But, again, what more does one need to know given what is in P2025? Seems like they've laid out their most dystopian views for all to see.

Trump has no policies for America. He has ones that benefit him. He does not care about the rest of us. He will go along with 2025 because it gives him incredible powers. He enjoys that. Winning will keep Trump out of jail. If he loses, he will flee to Venezuela.

You should probably read the Project 2025 book. It's published, you know.
