  • Project 2025 Expert on How We Are Headed to a Constitutional Crisis & Why We Needed to Take Project 2025 Seriously from the Beginning
    May 2 2025

    Why is Everyone Talking About Project 2025 & Should You Be Worried? How Dangerous Is It? What Does it Mean for America? Is Project 2025 Trump’s agenda? No matter which side of the political aisle you're on, America is being reshaped, and it’s important to be aware of these big changes that will impact so many of us.

    As Trump's first 100 days in office for a second term comes to a close, we’re breaking down Project 2025 - what it is, who’s really behind it, how it’s already restructuring society, what else is to come, the global implications, and why we need to start finally taking it seriously.

    David A. Graham (political & national affair staff writer at The Atlantic, author of The Project: How Project 2025 Is Reshaping America) gives his political analysis of the hidden dangers of Project 2025 — from mass federal layoffs and the erasure of environmental protections to the terrifying push for Christian-only values and a government that could soon look unrecognizable. With whispers of invading Canada, reclaiming the Panama Canal, and rewriting democracy itself, Graham dives deep into how this political earthquake could dismantle the U.S. system as we know it — and why now, more than ever, we need to wake up, speak out, and fight for what’s left of due process, education, and basic rights. You can't afford to miss this episode of MBB!

    Podcast legend Kara Swisher (Pivot, On with Kara Swisher) breaks down how the current administration’s reckless moves—from tariffs to deportations—are shaking Wall Street and hurting everyday Americans and gives her full tech industry analysis & political commentary. Is this the breaking point? And can anything stop the spiral?

    In this eye-opening breakdown, Kara reveals why every American—regardless of party—should be alarmed by rising economic uncertainty, the manipulation of truth by tech billionaires, and the dangerous decline of a free press. Swisher digs into how misinformation spreads, why idolizing Silicon Valley billionaires like Elon Musk could backfire, and what really happens when moguls step into the White House. Plus: the surprising power of comedy in dark times, how to stay sane while staying informed, and why she still holds hope for America’s future.

Engaging and fun

I've been a big fan of Mayim's entertainment career and was also interested that she swerved off the road into academia and then came back again. What I love about the podcast is how open and accepting of different views it is and how meaningful subjects are discussed with respect and good humour. Being Australian, I love to hear and learn about all things USA to boot. It is a thoroughly enjoyable listen.
