>>>HAS DEVOTED A LOT OF TIME TO OPENING UP PROJECT 2025 AND MAKING SURE YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS IN IT. WHAT THE RIGHT IS PLANNING FOR THE NEXT REPUBLICAN PRESIDENCY. TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO START WITH A VERY REVEALING PASSAGE FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE. QUOTE, WHAT -- UNDER THE RULING AND CULTURAL ELITE. INFLATION IS RAVAGING BUDGET FOR DRUG OVERDOSE DEATHS ESCALATE AND CHILDREN SUFFER THE TOXIC NORMALIZATION OF TRANSGENDER IS HIM WITH DRAG QUEENS AND PORNOGRAPHY INVADING SCHOOL LIBRARIES. ALL THE PARTIES THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION AND PROJECT 2025 MIGHT HAVE, OF ALL OF THE ITEMS ON THEIR CONSERVATIVE WISH LIST, YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO SEE DRAG QUEENS AND SO-CALLED TRANSGENDER IS HIM AND PORNOGRAPHY SINGLED OUT WITHIN THE FIRST SENTENCES OF THE NEARLY 1000 PAGE. IF YOU ARE SURPRISED, DON'T BE. IT FALLS RIGHT IN LINE WITH THE FIXATION ON ANYTHING THAT MIGHT THREATEN CONSERVATIVE IMAGE OF WHAT THE AMERICAN FAMILY SHOULD BE. THE AUTHORS OF PROJECT 2025 MADE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PORNOGRAPHY AND TRANSGENDER PEOPLE IN A CALCULATED AND CYNICAL MOVE TO EQUATE THE TWO. PROJECT 2025 AIMS TO DEFINE ANYTHING RELATED TO SEX, GENDER OR SEXUALITY AS PORNOGRAPHY. HIS GOAL IS TO PAINT THE VERY IDEA OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT STRAIGHT AND CIS-GENDER AS OBSCENE, DANGEROUS AND ULTIMATELY ILLEGAL. A FEW PAGES LATER THE MANDATE READS QUOTE, PHOTOGRAPHY, MANIFESTED TODAY IN THE OMNIPRESENT PROPAGATION OF TRANSGENDER IDEOLOGY AND SEXUALIZATION OF CHILDREN AND IS NOT A POLITICAL GORDIAN KNOT BINDING UP DISPARATE CLAIMS ABOUT RE-SPEECH, PROPERTY RIGHTS, SEXUAL LIBERATION AND WILD -- CHILD WELFARE. IT HAS NO CLAIM TO FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTION. ITS PURVEYORS ARE EXPLOITERS OF WOMEN. THE PRODUCT IS AS ADDICTIVE AS ANY ILLICIT DRUG IN A PSYCHOLOGICALLY DISRUPTIVE AS ANY CRIME. PORNOGRAPHY SHOULD BE OUTLAWED, THE PEOPLE WHO PRODUCE AND DISTRIBUTE IT SHOULD BE IMPRISONED. EDUCATORS AND PUBLIC LIBRARIANS WHO PURVEY IT SHOULD BE PACIFIED AS REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS, TELE- COMMISSIONS FIRM THAT FACILITATES IT SPREAD SHOULD BE SHUDDERED. TO BE CLEAR, THIS MEANS IF THE ARCHITECTS OF PROJECT 2025 HAVE THEIR WAY, TEACHERS AND LIBRARIANS WHO PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF TRANS AND QUEER PEOPLE WOULD BE JAILED. PROJECT 2025 GOES AGAINST -- CONTENT THAT PARENTS MIGHT OBJECT TO, GOES AFTER THE VERY EXISTENCE OF TRANS PEOPLE. THE INTENTION IS TO ERASE LGBTQ PEOPLE AND THE MANDATE CALLS FOR DELETING ANY MENTION OF LGBTQ PEOPLE, ANY MENTION OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND HEALTH CARE AND ANY MENTION OF DIVERSITY FROM ALL LEGISLATION. THE FORWARD OF THE 900 PAGE MANIFESTO READS IN PART, QUOTE, THIS STARTS WITH DELETING THE TERM SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND GENDER IDENTITY, DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION, DEI, GENDER, GENDER EQUALITY, GENDER EQUITY, GENDER SENSITIVE ABORTION, REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, ALL OF THIS OUT OF EVERY RULE AGENCY REGULATION AND PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT EXISTS. SO LET'S RECAP. PROJECT 2025'S AUTHORS WANT TO CLASSIFY ANYTHING OUTSIDE HETERONORMATIVITY, ANY DISCUSSION OF GENDER OR SEXUALITY OR THE EXISTENCE OF TRANS PEOPLE AS PORNOGRAPHY. THEY WANT TO IMPRISON ANYONE WHO PROVIDES INFORMATION RELATED TO SEXUALITY AND GENDER. THEY WANT ANY COMPANY OR ORGANIZATION THAT PUBLISHES OR PROVIDES INFORMATION RELATED TO SEXUALITY AND GENDER TO BE SHUT DOWN. THEY LITERALLY CALL FOR THE ERADICATION OF ANY MENTION OF QUEER PEOPLE, REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND ANYTHING RELATED TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION. THAT IS THE CONSERVATIVE VISION FOR AMERICA. THEY LITERALLY MADE IT OVERLY LONG AND COMPLICATED TO DISCOURAGE US FROM READING IT AND UNDERSTANDING IT. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, IF DONALD TRUMP IS ELECTED, THEY WILL HOLD IT UP AS A MANDATE TO TRANSFORM
