Pod Only Knows #031 – Project 2025 (and why you should really, really care about it)
Project 2025 has (finally) become an enormous national news story.
But while its goals (which go after everything from contraception to the Department of Education) have rightly been in the spotlight, it’s also important to understand that, far from being the fantasy wish list of a group of fringe conservatives, it is in fact a project of a major think tank, decades in the making.
It comes out of the Heritage Foundation, an organization founded by anti-democratic far-right Christian nationalist Paul Weyrich and currently run by the like-minded Kevin Roberts…whose upcoming book has a forward by JD Vance.
This week, John and Kelly unpack a little bit about why you should take anything coming out of the Heritage Foundation very seriously.
