Charlie Kirk is the Founder and President of Turning Point USA, the largest and fastest growing conservative youth activist organization in the country with over 250,000 student members, over 150 full-time staff, and a presence on over 2,000 high school and college campuses nationwide. Charlie is also the Chairman of Students for Trump, which aims to activate one million new college voters on campuses in battleground states in the lead up to the 2020 presidential election. His social media reaches over 100 million people per month and according to Axios, he is one of the "top 10 most engaged" Twitter handles in the world. He is also the host of “The Charlie Kirk Show,” which regularly ranks among the top news shows on Apple podcast charts.
Charlie Kirk on Trump's Deportation Blitz and the Battle Tested Team Rolling Back Biden's Open Border Policies
Charlie Kirk examines the dramatic shift in border enforcement during the opening days of Trump's second administration. With border crossings plummeting from 12,000 under Biden's final days to just 750 in Trump's first 48 hours, Kirk argues this represents more than policy change, it's a coordinated mission by a battle-tested team. He highlights the deportation of over 500 violent criminal illegals in 36 hours, individuals whose locations were known but ignored under Biden and Harris. Kirk contends that Trump's young gun advisors like Stephen Miller, Sergio Gor, and James Blair spent four years planning this precise execution, unified by shared experiences of indictments, raids, and attempts to dismantle their movement.
The contrast between the Biden and Trump administrations on border enforcement is stark. In the final two days of Joe Biden's presidency, 12,000 people crossed the southern border. During the first two days of Donald Trump's administration, before major policies were fully implemented, only 750 people crossed. Kirk projects that at this pace, America is headed toward some of the lowest border crossing numbers in modern history, with expectations to drive those numbers down to the teens and eventually to zero with proper management.
President Trump has mobilized additional troops, eliminated the CBP One border app, and launched what Kirk describes as a shock and awe deportation campaign. This isn't random enforcement—it's targeted action against individuals whose identities, locations, and criminal histories were already known to ICE but were deliberately ignored under the previous administration.
Over 500 Violent Criminals Removed in 36 Hours
In just 36 hours, over 500 violent criminal illegals were removed from American streets. Kirk emphasizes that these weren't agricultural workers or nannies—these were thugs whose crimes and whereabouts were well documented by local officials. Yet Democrats in sanctuary jurisdictions refused to detain them, prioritizing ideology over public safety.
Kirk argues that Democrats have made non-deportation their national religion, refusing to act even against child sex traffickers, rapists, drug smugglers, and gunrunners. Every arrest, he contends, prevents another tragedy like those of Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin—victims of violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants.
Any sanctuary jurisdiction that refuses to comply or actively impedes Trump's deportation orders, Kirk states, must be defunded and likely prosecuted. The message is clear: mess around and find out.
Military Aircraft and DOJ Decree Freezes
President Trump is mobilizing multiple parts of the Department of Defense, including military aircraft, to assist Customs and Border Protection in deportation operations. Additionally, Trump ordered a freeze on Department of Justice consent decrees with local police departments—tools that Biden and Obama used to restrict local law enforcement from effectively stopping crime.
These criminals weren't just threatening Americans; they were terrorizing legal immigrants in their own communities. Kirk stresses that the rule of law is finally being unleashed. The solution to widespread chaos and open borders has always been simple: enforce the laws already on the books. Trump didn't need congressional approval or a bipartisan border bill—he just needed the will to act.
The Laken Riley Act and Rolling Back the Color Revolution
The Laken Riley Bill has now passed both the House and Senate and is expected to be signed into law with a ceremony featuring Riley's family. Kirk describes this moment as part of rolling back what he calls the "color revolution"—the cultural oppression Americans have lived through under progressive policies.
This rollback requires speed and decisive action from the start. The strategy is to begin with triumphant shock and maintain momentum until every identified problem is solved. Kirk believes this pace won't slow down—it's a spiritual mission to restore the Republic.
The Battle Tested Young Guns of Trump's Team
Kirk argues that this administration is fundamentally different from Trump's first term. The young guns—Stephen Miller, Sergio Gor, James Blair, Dan Scavino—didn't always get to flex their muscles in the first administration. They witnessed what happened, saw Trump displaced from power in the 2020 election, and then had four years to plan.
Key figures like Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Russ Vought, Robert Kennedy Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard are still being confirmed. Once they're in place, Kirk predicts things will get even better. Right now, Trump is operating only on executive actions—full implementation of the agenda is yet to come.
The media hasn't fully grasped this reality: it's not just Trump who feels emboldened after surviving indictments, convictions, and a raid on Mar-a-Lago. His entire team experienced those events alongside him. Staffers like Walt Nauta, Natalie Harp, and Susie Wiles stood with Trump through every legal attack and attempted prosecution. They are unified, battle-tested, and in complete harmony with the mission.
No Leaks, No Compromise, Full Court Press
One significant difference Kirk notes: almost no leaks. In past Republican administrations, reporters could often get insider information. Not this time. The Trump operation is tight, organized, and the media is learning about developments through social media like everyone else.
This isn't chaos—it's precision. The team's shared experience of persecution has created unity. They remember being targeted, indicted, and having their boss nearly killed. Now they're executing a mandate with no compromise, no metaphorical quarter given.
Kirk points to recent events like Turning Point USA's chapter at the University of Washington having an event canceled due to lack of free speech support. He suggests the Department of Justice civil rights division under Leo Terrell should open investigations, and the Department of Education should consider withholding funding. This will be a full court press across Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, and Phoenix.
Binary Politics: You're Either in Power or You're Not
Kirk concludes with a stark assessment of Washington politics: neutral gear is not an option. Either you get run over or you set the pace. DC is a binary town—either they're calling the shots or you are. There's no middle ground, no neutral territory.
You have to keep your foot on the gas, full speed ahead. Either you're in power or you're not. This administration understands that reality and is acting accordingly.
