The Heritage Foundation is the publisher and originator of Project Esther, per Snopes, Heritage's own website, and Wikipedia. The one divergence is the page count: an archived copy describes it as a 33-page blueprint, against the post's 34 pages, which is close enough to be a pagination or counting difference rather than a contradiction.
What was said
… But when you start to look at who Jacob Recess is and where he came from, when he was in high school, he was working with the Clintons, so he obviously plays both sides of the fake aisle. He went on from there to work with the Heritage Foundation. They're the authors of Project Esther, which is the 34 page initiative that everybody, I think, should read.

The Jimmy Dore Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Snopes (tier1) reports that The Heritage Foundation published Project Esther as a report in October 2024.[1]
Supports. Heritage's own website states that Heritage 'spearheaded Project Esther, our comprehensive initiative to combat antisemitism.'[2]
Supports. Wikipedia lists Project Esther as a project of the Heritage Foundation, with the publication 'Project Esther: A National Strategy to Combat Antisemitism' (2024).[3]
Contradicts. An archived copy of the report describes it as a '33-page blueprint', differing slightly from the claim's 34 pages; this is a minor figure discrepancy and does not change who produced the document.[4]
Context. Some outlets name the plan's authors as Victoria Coates and Daniel Flesch, and Insidephilanthropy describes it as developed by the National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, a Heritage project, so the Heritage attribution is an institutional one.[5][6]
