Elon Musk Wants to Get Rid of Voice of America. Kari Lake Argues It’s Worth Saving.

At the 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference, we sat down with Kari Lake, Trump’s pick to lead Voice of America, to discuss whether Elon Musk is right about scrapping the state-funded media network and what she believes is the proper role of journalists in today’s society.
The role of director of Voice of America is officially nominated by the head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), a role which requires Senate approval, and must then be approved by a majority vote of the International Broadcasting Advisory Board. L. Brent Bozell III, Trump's pick to head USAGM, has not yet been confirmed by the Senate yet.
