Episode 32: The Architects of Evil (Part 1) - Russell Vought and Stephen Miller
Who’s really behind the most dangerous government overhaul in American history? In this episode, Bella Goode pulls back the curtain on the two unelected men—Russell Vought and Stephen Miller—who are quietly constructing the legal and bureaucratic foundation of authoritarian rule in the United States. They’re not candidates. They’re not influencers. But they’re already reshaping your rights, your government, and the future of American democracy.
Key Takeaways To Listen For
- Russell Vought’s radical vision of Christian nationalism and how it underpins Project 2025
- Stephen Miller’s role as legal architect for mass deportations, government purges, and ending birthright citizenship
- Why these men believe pluralism, secularism, and diversity are existential threats
- The hidden 180-day playbook: A pre-written plan to fire civil servants and seize agency control
- How over 100 right-wing groups and dark money donors built the Project 2025 network
- The dangerous normalization of extremism through bureaucracy, not bullets

Bella Goode is a pseudonym — but the voice, research, and mission are all real. A Republican turned Democrat advocate in 2016, I was raised by middle class parents in Pennsylvania. I’m a former marketing executive, entrepreneur, and lifelong learner with an MBA from Wharton and a Master’s in Psychology from Penn. 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.
