Episode 12: Russell Vought – The Man Rewriting America’s Future
Season 1 Episode 12
Donald Trump’s second term isn’t about governance—it’s about absolute power. But behind the headlines and the chaos, Russell Vought is quietly orchestrating one of the most radical transformations of the U.S. government in modern history.
Unlike Trump, Vought isn’t a showman. He’s a strategist, an ideologue, and one of the key architects of Project 2025—a blueprint for dismantling democracy and consolidating presidential authority. Today, we expose his master plan, breaking down:
- Vought’s rise to power – How he embedded himself in Washington’s most powerful conservative institutions.
- Weaponizing the federal government – Purging civil servants, stacking agencies with loyalists, and rewriting the Constitution.
- Christian nationalism as policy – His vision for a government that enforces religious doctrine over civil rights.
- The “deep state” purge – His role in dismantling checks and balances.
- Controlling public institutions – Rewriting education, weaponizing law enforcement, and crushing dissent.
- Trump’s second-term strategy – The real threat: an authoritarian government that may never relinquish power.
Vought isn’t just working behind the scenes—he’s making Trump’s dictatorship a reality.

I spent decades telling stories in the business world; now I use those skills to connect the dots in American politics.
I’m here because the truth matters — and because the stakes have never been higher. Surviving Trump isn’t lighthearted. It’s clarity, evidence, and a fight for the future of our democracy.
