In Episode 2 of Project 2025: Exposed, host Darren Watts dives into the quiet but dangerous ambitions of Russ Vought — former OMB director and one of the chief architects of Project 2025.
This episode exposes how Vought is using the Executive Office and federal budget to:
• Replace career civil servants with ideological loyalists
• Use “Christian values” to justify the rollback of civil rights and inclusion policies
• Punish agencies that support equity, climate action, LGBTQ+ protections, and reproductive rights
• Redefine the role of government as an enforcer of religious nationalism
We unpack:
• The theological distortion behind Christian nationalism
• The structural changes already underway inside the Executive Office
• How faith is being weaponized against democracy
• And what everyday people can do to fight back
Because when faith becomes a tool of political dominance — it stops being holy.
