Veronika Kyrylenko on Surveillance, Vaccines, Government Overreach, & Trump

Government surveillance, vaccine funding, foreign wars, federal spending, and executive power — how far is Washington willing to go?

Veronika Kyrylenko is a writer for The New American known for investigating government overreach and holding powerful officials accountable regardless of political party. With a Ph.D. in Political Science from Odessa National University in Ukraine, she covers some of the biggest issues confronting Americans today, including healthcare, surveillance, foreign policy, immigration, the economy, and threats to constitutional liberty.

In this episode of Birch’N the USA, Veronika joins hosts Ty Bodden and Christian Gomez to break down several of her latest investigations.

Why is the Trump administration releasing $600 million to the Gates-backed vaccine organization Gavi after a dispute over vaccine safety? Are government agencies monitoring citizens who criticize Flock license-plate surveillance? What are the constitutional concerns surrounding billions of dollars in federal immigration-enforcement grants to local police? And what does the Iran war — and the resulting strain on U.S. weapons stockpiles — reveal about America’s interventionist foreign policy?

The conversation also examines government spending, tariffs, executive power, political accountability, and the danger of overlooking unconstitutional policies simply because they are advanced by the “right” political party.

Veronika, Ty, and Christian cut through partisan narratives and ask the question that should matter regardless of who occupies the White House: Is it constitutional?
