This is a piece in a kind of Trump-friendly but longstanding conservative opinion journal, the Claremont Review. And the writer used a Latin pseudonym and he said that this is the Flight 93 election and that conservatives needed to charge the cockpit or they would die. He said, you might die anyway, but this is the only option.

And he says, to compound the metaphor, a Hillary Clinton presidency is Russian roulette with a semi-auto. With Trump, at least you can spin the cylinder and take your chances. So you can see this kind of apocalyptic sense that they had. I think that sense continued throughout the first Trump term and it definitely imbues Project 2025 as well.

And the writer, Michael Anton, became one of the contributors to Project 2025. He's now a prominent figure in the Trump administration and in fact is leading technical talks with Iran on a new nuclear deal just coming up.

Because the mix of things that you get in it. I mean at one time there are these very dry descriptions. of the way, for example, the White House operates, of the way Pentagon budgeting operates. And then right by that, there will be these outlandish policy ideas, really kind of radical stuff. Sometimes these are one paragraph after another.

And so you see all these things right in one place and you see them putting these, I think, fairly radical schemes out in a document that they published online 18 months before the election. You know, it's not like some sort of secret cabal. It's a very public document.

It still isn't public, although I think we have a pretty good sense of what it is by triangulating. It was a 100-day playbook with a series of drafted executive orders. And when we look at what Trump has done in his first roughly 100 days, there's a really strong connection between what is in mandate for leadership and the executive orders.

So I think we can guess pretty effectively that what was in that plan are the executive orders that we have seen.
