[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> HELLO, I'M STATE SENATOR MALLORY MCMORROW, AND THIS IS PROJECT 2025. [BOOS] OVER THE NEXT FOUR NIGHTS, YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR A LOT ABOUT WHAT IS IN THIS 900 PAGE DOCUMENT. WHY? BECAUSE THIS IS THE REPUBLICAN BLUEPRINT FOR A SECOND TRUMP TURN -- TERM. [BOOS] THEY WENT AHEAD AND WROTE DOWN ALL THE EXTREME THINGS DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO DO IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. AND THEN THEY JUST TWEETED IT OUT, PUTTING IT OUT ON THE INTERNET FOR EVERYONE TO READ. SO WE READ IT. ON WHATEVER YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE, IT IS SO MUCH WORSE. TONIGHT I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT JUST ONE ASPECT OF PROJECT 2025. THE PLAN TO TURN DONALD TRUMP INTO A DICTATOR. [BOOING] RIGHT HERE, PAGE 535, IT SAYS, REISSUE TRUMP SCHEDULE AS EXECUTIVE ORDER TO PERMIT DISCHARGE OF NONPERFORMING EMPLOYEES. THAT DOESN'T SOUND THAT SCARY, RIGHT? BUT HERE IS WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANS IN PLAIN ENGLISH. IF DONALD TRUMP GETS BACK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE, HE IS GOING TO FIRE CIVIL SERVANTS LIKE INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS, ENGINEERS, AND EVEN FEDERAL PROSECUTORS IF HE DECIDES THAT THEY DO NOT SERVE HIS PERSONAL AGENDA. THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WITH AN ARMY OF LOYALISTS WHO ANSWER ONLY TO DONALD TRUMP. [BOOING] I KNOW. THEN, OK. PAGE 873. IT SAYS, CONSERVATIVES HAVE LONG BELIEVED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES OF INDEPENDENT AGENCIES OR INDEPENDENT -- ENDING LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES OR ENDING INDEPENDENT STATUS. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT UNDER PROJECT 2025 DONALD TRUMP WOULD BE ABLE TO WEAPONIZE THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO GO AFTER POLITICAL OPPONENTS. HE COULD EVEN TURN THE FBI INTO HIS OWN PERSONAL POLICE FORCE. [BOOING] THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS IN AMERICA! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THAT IS HOW IT WORKS IN A DICTATORSHIP! AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT DONALD TRUMP AND HIS MAGA MINIONS HAVE IN MIND, AND EXPANSION OF PRESIDENTIAL POWERS LIKE NO PRESIDENT HAS EVER HAD OR SHOULD EVER HAVE. IF YOU'RE ASKING IF ANY OF THIS IS LEGAL, REMEMBER, THANKS TO DONALD TRUMP'S HAND-PICKED SUPREME COURT, HE IS NOW COMPLETELY IMMUNE FROM PROSECUTION, EVEN IF HE BREAKS THE LAW. [BOOING] BUT THAT IS NOT WHO WE ARE. BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] NOT THE GOVERNMENT OF DONALD TRUMP, BY DONALD TRUMP AND FOR DONALD TRUMP! WE BELIEVE IN THE SEPARATION OF POWERS AND THE RULE OF LAW. WE BELIEVE IN A SYSTEM BUILT TO SERVE EVERYONE, NOT BREAKING A SYSTEM TO SERVE ONE PETTY, SELFISH MAN. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THE TRUTH IS, THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO STOP HIM AND TO STOP PROJECT 2025. HOW DO WE DO IT? WE ELECT KAMALA HARRIS THIS NOVEMBER! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] WE WILL BE BACK TOMORROW NIGHT TO TELL YOU
