In this urgent and unflinching episode of Voice of America, we expose the real power players inside Donald Trump’s 2025 White House—and the dangerous ideologies they’re advancing. From Stephen Miller’s white nationalist legal crusades to Kristi Noem’s weaponization of homeland security against LGBTQ+ communities, we unpack how four top officials are reshaping American governance into an engine of repression.

With sharp analysis and evidence-backed reporting, host Vincent  walks listeners through the extremist records of Miller, Marco Rubio, Pam Bondi, and Noem—revealing how anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ+, and racially regressive policies are no longer just campaign talking points, but the blueprint of federal power.

This is not about politics as usual.

This is about who holds the levers of law—and what happens when civil rights are redefined as threats to the state.

Tune in. Get informed. Speak out.

On April 28, 2025, Donald Trump signed an executive order that reshapes American law enforcement in ways that echo authoritarian regimes—without ever declaring martial law. In this hard-hitting Voice of America episode, we unpack Executive Order 14174, a sweeping directive that indemnifies police misconduct, criminalizes local dissent, dismantles federal oversight, and invites the military into American streets—all under the guise of national security.

But this isn’t just Trump’s idea. It’s Project 2025 in action—a Heritage Foundation-backed blueprint to consolidate federal power, destroy civil rights protections, and militarize domestic governance. We break down the clauses, trace the ideological roots, and expose the deeper agenda behind this federal power grab.

From consent decrees to Homeland Security Task Forces, from Schedule F purges to anti-DEI prosecutions, this episode reveals how Trump is building a command-and-control system designed to outlast protests, elections, and even democracy itself.

When ABC’s Terry Moran sat down with President Donald Trump, it wasn’t just an interview—it was a collision between two worlds. On one side: the law, facts, and journalistic accountability. On the other: a president who claims his lawyers outrank the Supreme Court, insists gang tattoos appear where they don’t, and rewrites reality in real time.

In this gripping episode of Voice of America, we unpack the most surreal presidential interview yet—where due process is dismissed, facts are Photoshopped, and the truth is whatever the president needs it to be. From deportation orders to gang conspiracies, from legal dodges to the erasure of shared reality, this episode isn’t just about Trump’s words—it’s about the danger of a leader who demands belief over evidence.

Stay with us as we explore what happens when power abandons truth—and a journalist refuses to follow.

On April 28, 2025—Canada’s federal election day—U.S. President Donald Trump sent shockwaves across the border with a Truth Social post proposing that Canada become the “51st state of the United States.” Within hours, the post went viral, political leaders scrambled to respond, and Canadian voters surged to the polls in what some are calling the “Trump Effect.”

In this explosive episode of Voice of America, we unpack how Trump’s digital interference may have cost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre his own seat and helped Liberal leader Mark Carney clinch a dramatic victory. From sovereignty slogans to electoral fallout, from Truth Social to Parliament Hill—we follow the ripple effects of one post that changed a nation’s future.

Was it trolling? Was it strategy? Or did Trump accidentally unite Canada against him?

Tune in for exclusive analysis, real-time reactions, and a chilling look at the new face of cross-border influence.

In this explosive episode of Voice of America, host Vincent Froom dives deep into the controversy surrounding the abrupt termination of the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) program by MAGA-appointed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Once proudly launched under Donald Trump and championed by Ivanka Trump and Senator Marco Rubio, WPS was designed to empower women’s roles in global conflict resolution and military operations. Now, it’s been slammed as “woke” and discarded with a tweet.

But what’s really at stake when women’s voices are silenced in national security?

With real stories from women in uniform, expert analysis, and hard-hitting historical context, we explore how this political flashpoint reveals deeper tensions about gender, power, and the future of the armed forces. From Afghanistan to Capitol Hill, this is the battle you didn’t see coming—but one that could reshape how America fights and keeps peace.

Tune in now—because this time, the war is about who gets to lead the peace.

In one of the most dramatic election nights in Canadian history, the Liberal Party — led by Mark Carney — has held onto power with a minority government. Meanwhile, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, backed by Elon Musk and top U.S. Republicans, suffered a stunning personal and political defeat — losing both the election and his own seat.

In this special report from Voice of America, we unpack:

• How the Liberal comeback unfolded
• Why foreign influence backfired on the Conservatives
• What a Liberal minority government means for policy, climate, and Indigenous rights
• And what the world — including the White House and Silicon Valley — is saying now

Canada spoke. The message? Sovereignty matters.
