America's top conservatives are gloating that 'Project 2025' will be enacted in the new Donald Trump era, despite the former president disavowing the agenda during the campaign.

Project 2025 is a hardline conservative manifesto setting out a program for government written by his allies.

Trump and JD Vance have shrugged off suggestions that the agenda is on the table for them but conservatives like Matt Walsh and Steve Bannon reveled in the opportunity to push the policy goals after the election.

'Now that the election is over I think we can finally say that yeah actually Project 2025 is the agenda,' Walsh wrote Wednesday.

Speaking on his podcast, fresh out of prison former Trump advisor Bannon gave Walsh a shout out and wholeheartedly agreed.

'Matt Walsh, I think, is a very smart and funny guy. Fabulous. Put that everywhere,' he said. 

He then turned much more serious, continuing his accusation that the 2020 election was stolen and said the perpetrators of it were going to be rid of. 

'You stole the 2020 election.… This entire phony thing is getting swept out,' Bannon said. 

'Biden's getting swept out. Kamala Harris is getting swept out. MSNBC is getting swept out. The Justice Department is getting swept out. The FBI is getting swept out. You people suck, OK?! And now you're going to pay the price for trying to destroy this country.'

Bannon was just recently released from a four-month prison sentence in Connecticut for contempt of Congress. 

He was convicted in 2022 on two counts of defying subpoenas issued by the congressional investigation into the January 6 attack when Trump supporters ransacked the U.S. Capitol in 2021.

Project 2025 was overseen by the conservative Heritage Foundation, a thinktank stuff with alumni from the Trump administration and allied groups.

It sets out a blueprint for Trump in office, including proposals that he has already adopted, such as strengthening the southern border and decreasing federal involvement in education.

But it also calls for a ban on a widely used abortion pill, the abolition of the Department of Homeland Security, and scrap dietary guidelines. 

Trump has repeatedly rubbished any suggestion it will provide a blueprint for his administration, saying he had 'nothing to do with it' during last month's presidential debate. 

Authors of the manifesto include Russ Vought, who was budget director in the Trump White House, and JD Vance, Trump's running mate, has ties to Kevin Roberts who oversaw the whole project.

Most recently, Trump transition team leader Howard Lutnick has thrown cold water on the idea that it'll be used in the White House.

Lutnick also disowned Project 2025, the document produced by a stable of former Trump administration figures that the Trump campaign has said repeatedly does not represent Trump or his campaign.

'Project 2025 is an absolute zero for the Trump-Vance transition,' said Lutnick.
