On Monday, former Fox News host and right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson released an interview with billionaire and X owner Elon Musk. At the 19-minute mark of the 108-minute-long interview, Carlson takes a break to talk about one of the showâs paid partners, the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation. Carlson then goes on to describe something that sounds suspiciously like Project 2025, the Foundationâs highly controversial road map for a second Donald Trump presidency.
The Heritage Foundation, Carlson says, âpulled together a coalition of over 100 right-leaning groups to develop a comprehensive plan for day one that would include detailed policy proposals on the most pressing issues,â and âhas also developed a plan to dismantle the deep state that keeps this nonsense going and reclaim this nation from a small group of technocrats that's broken everything.â
Though Carlson does not refer to Project 2025 by name, this language he used in the ad mirrors the text on the Project 2025 website, which says the plan âbrought together by over 100 respected organizations from across the conservative movement, to take down the Deep State and return the government to the people.â
Carlson also referenced Project 2025âs personnel program, laid out by former Trump aide John McEntee, meant to ensure that a second administration is staffed with loyalists.
The Tucker Carlson Network did not respond to a request for comment about whether the ad was specifically for Project 2025. The Heritage Foundation did not respond to questions about whether the ad describes Project 2025 or another initiative.
