Trump’s New WHIP Program: Get Rewarded for Exposing Government Fraud? (Ep 870)
Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson
President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance have announced a new $25 MILLION program that could pay Americans thousands of dollars for exposing fraud involving taxpayer money!
The new Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program, known as WHIP, is designed to encourage ordinary Americans to report suspected fraud involving federal government programs.
Under the initiative, eligible whistleblowers could receive rewards of up to $30,000 when their information leads to qualifying federal fraud enforcement actions.
The Department of Justice will administer the program, with funding from the Treasury Department.
But how will WHIP work? Who qualifies for a reward? And could offering financial incentives help uncover fraud that might otherwise go undetected?
We’ll explain the new program, the administration’s goals and the questions surrounding its implementation.
U.S. AID TO UKRAINE DROPS SHARPLY UNDER TRUMP
Newly reported aid figures show a dramatic change in American assistance to Ukraine since President Trump returned to the White House in January 2025.
According to data cited by the New York Post, new U.S. aid commitments have fallen to approximately $540 million during Trump’s current administration, compared with roughly $130 billion in assistance attributed to the Biden administration following Russia’s 2022 invasion.
The figures reflect a significant change in Washington’s approach to supporting Ukraine, with Trump calling for European countries to shoulder more of the financial responsibility.
But what do these numbers actually include? How much American assistance has been military aid versus economic and humanitarian support? And how does the shift affect Ukraine’s ability to defend itself?
We’ll examine the spending figures, the changing American policy and the debate over the United States’ financial commitments overseas.
TRUMP RETURNS TO SOUTH CAROLINA — 13 DAYS UNTIL ELECTION DAY
President Donald Trump is scheduled to return to the Upstate today, Wednesday, October 21, for a major campaign rally supporting Senator Darline Graham and other Republican candidates.
The event comes as South Carolina voters are already casting early ballots ahead of the November 3 general election.
Meanwhile, early voting numbers in states such as Georgia are drawing attention as campaigns evaluate participation ahead of Election Day.
But high early turnout doesn’t automatically tell us which party will benefit. It may represent new voters, or voters who would otherwise have cast ballots on Election Day.
We’ll discuss the rally, early voting trends and the issues shaping this year’s midterm elections.
