Examining Trump's 2024 Agenda: "This is How We Move Away From a Democracy" | Pivot

We have to talk about Trump, which we should. The National Republican Convention gets underway, uh, next week. The party approved its 2024 platform on Monday, giving us a glimpse at what Trump's second term might look like. It sounds awful in every single way. The platform reads like a Trump rally speech, and features a list of 20 promises, including stop the migrant invasion, which we're still waiting for that caravan. Cancel the electrical, electric vehicle mandate and prevent World War III. Okay. The language on abortion and same-sex marriage has also been pared down and softened. Gays can stay married apparently, according to Donald Trump. Thanks, Donald, you fucking asshole. Um, y- y- you know, it's, he has had a rally recently where he was loony as a l- you know, it's all baked in, but he was loonier than ever. Still talking about sharks and Hannibal Lecter and all kinds of this and that. I, speaking of cognitive disabilities. Um, uh, and I know people say we should say more about it. He is crazy, everybody. We have said it over and over again, and he's vicious. He's crazy and vicious and corrupt and a criminal. Um, so there, hope that's enough. Um, w- what do you think about this vision that they've laid out? They're certainly trying to soften. We've been hearing a lot, thankfully, about Project 2025 in recent weeks, a proposal for a massive overhaul of the federal government should... meaning cutting out, getting rid of NOA is one of their, is o- is on their list. Um, the project backed by Trump allies, very close Trump allies, includes an expansion of executive powers, disbanding the Department of Education, shredding climate protections. Trump has recently distanced himself from the plan, uh, claiming he know nothing about it, which is nonsense. He also was like, "I wish them good luck." It was very similar to a statement he gave about Ghislaine Maxwell, of the famous Epstein, saying, "I don't really know her and, uh, but I wish her good luck." And of course there's 90 pictures of him with her. Um, so what do you think about this?

I think that they're... So as frightening as Biden's performance has been, we don't wanna talk about this, but Trump has actually been very on message. He's been much more disciplined this time, and he realizes that he's, he's basically said we, if we just pivot a little bit to the metal and we're not as terribly frightening... What, what's going on here is we've seen before, and that's Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, uh, in their Senate testimony confirmation hearings, pretending to be reasonable. And then once they're on the court, they decide to overturn Roe v. Wade, which they said under oath in front of the Senate was established precedent.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, my sense is Trump is very on message. I forget the name of the woman, Scaramucci said there's a-
