JOHN BICKLEY (DAILY WIRE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF): Now you're working with Project 2025. That's with The Heritage Foundation.
...
And have you been coordinating directly with Trump or the Trump campaign on this?
JOHN MCENTEE (PROJECT 2025 SENIOR ADVISER): You know, I think we've kept them pretty separate for now. I think the candidate and the campaign need to keep their eye on the ball. They need to be totally focused on winning. We're totally focused on what happens after and, leaving superstition aside, I don't think it's good to mix the two.
Obviously, there will need to be coordination and the president and his team will announce an official transition this summer, and we're gonna integrate a lot of our work with them. But I think keeping the two separate is actually the most beneficial way to go about it.
