who isn't a Maga loyalist are you a Maga loyalist now Kina absolutely not I I'm just I'm just asking I mean you might as well be because also page 319 calls for the complete elimination of the Department of Education I yeah there there's a there's a bunch of stuff in here but that's all we have time for at the moment just remember everything that we just talked about is very real it is in this book you can read it online at kamah harris.com project 2025 and most importantly you can stop it from ever happening by electing KLA Harris as the next president of the United States Saturday night Live Superstar Keenan Thompson delivering a comic rendition on policy plans for the second Trump term we should note of course that President Trump and his campaign deny that project 2025 is the blueprint for uh a second Trump term although uh danab bash we should note and Abby Phillip there certainly are a lot of trump people involved in the construction of project 2025 and Mr Trump has said very positive things about that that project and never mind that if you just look at some of the specifics that they were talking about eliminating the Department of Education that's something that Donald Trump talks about on the stump he's completely okay with that yeah I mean I I think that it's it's fair to say project 2025 is outside of the Trump campaign but it's also the truth that this is the the basically the the skeleton of what a trump transition would look like the Personnel the ideas maybe it won't be all of it but but it's in there and I think that the Democrats have successfully made project 2025 almost like a household name at least among their base and perhaps among among people who are a little bit more uh informed about politics and about current events that's a problem for Trump and for Republicans which is why they pushed back so aggressively against the idea that it has anything to do with this and there was something that uh that you noticed uh both of you noticed about the the five real people uh that Keenan was speaking with uh so humorously uh there was something that four of them had in common as opposed to the fifth uh and that is four of them were women uh and the gender gap in uh American politics has all has been trending very strongly for years years but this year at least according to polls it is so strong the women the women vote is overwhelmingly for Harris the male vote uh overwhelmingly for for Trump though not as much yes and you know there's the gender gap then there's the the idea that for the last month the Democratic party has been rallying around a woman at the top of the ticket which is uh the only other time they did it which is in 2016 and it has been noteworthy to see how they are learning about what to do and how to confront Donald Trump as the opponent to a woman 2016 and now very different campaigns very different female candidates but they are doing so in trying to put forward um male figures Tim Walls being one of them Doug mhof last tonight who um can speak to men out there who um might not be the sort of testosterone Laden you know uh gun toing kind of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of um players that came out at the RNC or might want to listen to that but also in addition understand that it's okay in 2024 to be a man comfortable in his own skin who supports a woman and that's something that they really are trying to work on with male voters beyond the base Abby we were talking about this earlier the different definitions of masculinity in 2024 and what we saw at the Trump convention um which was as you knowe somebody I I forget exactly who said it testosterone uh with Kid Rock and the Ultimate Fighting Champion guy and Hulk Hogan who Dana White and all remember Hulk Hogan actually ripped off his shirt and he had another shirt underneath which I think is not exactly what the Ripoff the shirt thing is supposed to be but in any case I digress you do it it's not like that you know I mean just on the Hulk Hogan of it all I mean look who by the way said something racist the other night I was just going to say I mean just recently he he drunkenly asked a crowd whether they wanted him to body slam Kam La Hara so when we talk about the the kind of testosterone that they put on display at the RNC that's what it was there is a contrast that is going to be on display tonight here I mean they're going to be uh people associated with Planned Parenthood the the Human Rights Campaign the lgbtq plus organization uh they are going to be putting those people on the stage to talk about a different version of America but for Democrats it's always this this Balancing Act between um feeding the need for their base to to hear these messages of affirmation about a sort of Rainbow Coalition if you will of their party but they do also have to talk to the people who uh maybe they're not comfortable with the Hulk Hogans but they do want the party to speak to that
