Katie Phang hitting on 2025 project right off the bat

[senseandsensibility]

Started with video of Kevin Roberts from the Heritage Foundation saying the quiet part out loud.

He said, "We are going to win. We're in the process of taking this country back..we are in the process of the second American Revolution which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."

Kind seems like that might have warranted a NYT cover story but what do I know?

Tune in if you can stomach it.

1. I could have gladly reached through the tv and strangled that "Molly" woman in the later segment denigrating

Biden in every way possible. Umm, lady? I could make some similar points about YOU.

2. Watching on a delay so I can't comment on that yet

But I will.

3. Okay, she's horrible

But Katie is holding her feet to the fire by asking about cheato, his lies, and his inability to formulate a coherent statement.

4. True enough. I just came in from work and am hot as Hades to begin with so she got zero latitude from me.

But, I really do not like her (Molly).

5. I was SO glad to see this! I thought the MSM,

at least the cable channels might be "sitting on it", so to speak.
Let me ask you-- Were you able to watch the show all the way through?.
In my case, even though I have the program DVRed, it suddenly "went off" immediately after she introduced the segment you mentioned with a message saying "This program is not available"

I've been wondering if this was a technical problem on my end, or if something more sinister was taking place.

6. I heard that Hulu was having a problem

but I'm watching a recording on Direct TV. No interruptions so far.

[whathehell]

7. Mine is just Msnbc on DVR, but it's likely

just a technical problem here, as I see no one else here had a problem.
That said, I am SO sorry I missed the rest of it. This RW freak, along with his cohorts, seems to be threatening us.
I can't believe the MSM is going to air this shit as if it's just "business as usual".

9. Heritage Foundation president raises alarm with cryptic threat

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts raised new concerns with a cryptic threat about a "second American Revolution.”

In time, however, as Republican politics grew more radical, the Heritage Foundation shifted, too. In 2013, then-Sen. Orrin Hatch told MSNBC, “Heritage used to be the conservative organization helping Republicans and helping conservatives and helping us to be able to have the best intellectual conservative ideas. There’s a real question in the minds of many Republicans right now, and I’m not just speaking for myself: Is Heritage going to go so political that it really doesn’t amount to anything anymore?”

Eleven years later, the idea that the Heritage Foundation is producing “the best intellectual conservative ideas” is plainly laughable, as its president reminded the public again yesterday. HuffPost noted:

The head of an organization behind an influential policy document expected to guide a potential second Donald Trump administration declared that there’s a revolution taking place right now. And he appeared to deliver an ominous warning to “the radical left” as he spoke.

“We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be,” Kevin Roberts, president of the right-wing Heritage Foundation, said on a conservative media outlet called Real America’s Voice.

.......And while those concerns are warranted, they’re made worse by the broader significance of Heritage’s ongoing political efforts.

Who’s responsible for the radical Project 2025 agenda? The Heritage Foundation.

Who’s “pre-screening the ideologies” of thousands of people in the hopes of installing “a pre-vetted, pro-Trump army of up to 54,000 loyalists” across the federal government? The Heritage Foundation.

Who’s funding an apparent blacklist of federal government workers who might stand in the way of a MAGA agenda? The Heritage Foundation.

Who put up billboards in Alabama in support of Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville while he undermined his own country’s military? The Heritage Foundation.

Which group’s former staffers have complained about their former employers prioritizing political messaging over policy formation? The Heritage Foundation.

Whose president might be in contention for White House chief of staff in a second Trump term? The Heritage Foundation.

It was against this backdrop that Heritage’s chief told a national television audience, “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be,” which was every bit as unsettling as it seemed.

The Heritage Foundation is now a right wing nut job organization that is not recognizable from the organization that Orin Hatch knew.
