Overview: In this compelling episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, host Charlie Kirk delves deep into the transformative actions of the Trump administration, highlighting significant policy shifts aimed at reclaiming American sovereignty and restoring law and order. The episode features an insightful conversation with Dave Smith, a libertarian host, discussing the recent pardon of Ross Ulbricht and its broader implications. Additionally, Kirk emphasizes the importance of coalition-building among conservative and libertarian factions to effect meaningful change.

1. The Trump Administration’s Rapid Policy Execution

Executive Orders and DEI Shutdown: Charlie Kirk opens the discussion by lauding the Trump administration's unprecedented pace in enacting executive orders aimed at dismantling initiatives he deems harmful to American society.

“President Donald Trump signed executive order after executive order… What you’re seeing is President Trump running the White House.” (04:15)

One of the most notable actions includes the shutdown of all Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices within the government, placing DEI employees on indefinite leave, signaling potential terminations.

“The shutdown of all DEI offices in the government and placed all existing DEI employees on indefinite leave. Not to be reallocated, not to go be able to do other damage.” (10:30)

Border Security Enhancement: Kirk details Trump's deployment of 1,500 active-duty troops to the U.S.-Mexico border, with expectations to escalate the number to between 10,000 and 20,000 troops, significantly reducing illegal border crossings.

“President Donald Trump ordered a freeze on Department of Justice consent decrees with local police departments… The deportation effort is just beginning.” (12:45)

2. Ross Ulbricht’s Pardon and Its Significance

Discussion with Dave Smith: The episode features Dave Smith, who joins Charlie to celebrate the pardon of Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road marketplace. Smith underscores the importance of this pardon in the context of liberty and justice.

“Ross Ulbricht was convicted of starting a website… two life sentences plus 40 years when he had not committed a violent crime at all.” (18:12)

Libertarian Perspective: Smith elaborates on the hypocrisy within the justice system, highlighting how Ulbricht received harsh sentencing compared to major tech figures like Mark Zuckerberg, who face no similar repercussions for platform-related issues.

“He should have been protected by Section 230. But none of these other people who played ball with the previous regimes are.” (21:53)

3. Coalition Building for a Unified Conservative Movement

Diverse Alliances: Charlie emphasizes the necessity of forming a broad coalition that includes libertarians, Second Amendment advocates, cryptocurrency enthusiasts, tech professionals, young activists, pastors, and pro-Israel supporters.

“Joining us now is Dave Smith… you have to build a coalition and you have to have non-negotiable principles that when they’re broken, they’re out of the team.” (20:56)

Unified Front Against the “Color Revolution”: Kirk discusses the ongoing efforts to counteract what he describes as a cultural revolution driven by progressive ideologies, advocating for a return to traditional American values.

“Rolling back the color revolution is not easy. And that’s why you must start fast.” (27:33)

4. Aggressive Deportation Campaigns

ICE Raids and Public Safety: The episode includes a harrowing account of ICE raids targeting violent criminals, framed as essential for public safety. Kirk portrays these actions as a direct response to the Biden administration's lax immigration policies.

“This is the deportation effort of an illegal Haitian violent criminal in Boston, Massachusetts.” (31:32)

Media and Public Perception: Kirk criticizes mainstream media for underreporting these enforcement actions, suggesting they often miss the severity and significance of the administration's efforts to restore law and order.

“The media cannot keep up… The media’s head is spinning as it should be.” (25:10)

5. The Future of American Policy Under Trump

Economic Prosperity and International Investments: Kirk highlights President Trump's successful negotiation with Saudi Arabia, securing a monumental $600 billion investment into the United States, which he claims surpasses any efforts by the Biden administration.

“President Donald Trump has secured over $1 trillion of new money coming into the United States. That means more jobs, higher incomes, less inflation, more prosperity and more growth.” (15:20)

Cryptocurrency Advocacy: The episode underscores Trump's evolving stance on cryptocurrency, positioning it as a tool for economic liberation and innovation, and crediting the administration for fostering a pro-crypto environment.

“President Trump has a crypto czar and wants to be the most pro crypto president in history.” (23:57)

It is really something to witness the pace and the rapidity of which this administration is working. I had the opportunity to go to the White House yesterday and see firsthand how hard the staff is working. They don't have to be operating at this kind of pace. They do not have to be setting the pace this way. I mean, there are so many more days to do these things. The way an administration usually works is kind of settle in, go to the Navy mess, sign a couple ceremonial executive orders, say, well, we have to get a big piece of legislation passed. Let's meet with some senators, meet with some congressmen, wait for our cabinet to get confirmed. The White House is now the fulcrum of liberty on the planet. It is the center of a free society. If you desire a free society, that is happening I on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And there you see President Donald Trump signing executive order after executive order. There are 1458 days to go of this Trump presidency. 1458. There are two and a half days fully in the books, half of a day on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday. Yesterday, President Donald Trump continued His shock and awe, his executive order blitzkrieg. And the media cannot keep up. You see, they are overwhelming the system. Kind of very similar to how the cabinet picks were chosen. They just can't keep up with what president Trump is doing. It's hard for those of us that do this for a living to keep up. The news is coming at such a velocity and I'm a professional, I do this for a living and I have to really slow down and read the actual text of the executive order. To recap, Yesterday, as of 5pm last night, the shutdown of all DEI offices in the government and placed all existing DEI employees on indefinite leave. Not to be reallocated, not to go be able to do other damage. Indefinite leave. That is a precursor likely towards their termination. You want to go be a DEI official? Go work for salesforce. President Donald Trump announced a new deployment of 1,500 active duty troops to assist in securing the U. S. Mexico border. And I've been told that that is just the beginning, that it might get up to as much as 10,000, maybe even 20,000 troops. Also, public reporting shows that as well. This one's really remarkable. President Donald Trump had a call with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman. Saudi Arabia announced it would invest $600 billion. $600 billion into the United States. Now think about this for a second. Did Joe Biden ever have a similar type of announcement? Oh, I just got off the phone with the country and they're going to announce investing of money. Donald Trump has secured over $1 trillion in 48 hours. President Donald Trump has secured over $1 trillion of new money coming into the United States. That means more jobs, higher incomes, less inflation, more prosperity and more growth into the United States of America. This is the place. This is the safe haven for investment around the planet. From Saudi princes to Japanese banks, they want their dollar bills in the United States of America. So president Donald Trump did not need to author a tax cut. He did not need to have a deregulatory agenda. He needed a phone call. Now it makes you wonder, why did Joe Biden not do that? Cuz Joe Biden embodied this slow, lethargic, bureaucratic mindset of how to run government. It seemed almost unseemly to, in a diplomatic phone call, announce an investment of money. And president Donald Trump's got on the phone and saying, hey, by the way, what are you gonna do? Oh, well, we'll do 400 billion. President Donald Trump said, let's make it six. How about 600 billion? $600 billion investment into the United States of America. President Donald Trump also ordered the Border Patrol to begin immediately deporting anybody caught crossing into America illegally without a hearing. Ending the insane and anti American Biden policy of catching illegal border crossers, only to let them claim asylum and be released into America with a court date months or years in the Future. The last two days of Joe Biden's administration, there were 12,000 people that crossed the southern border. The first two days of Donald Trump's administration, before all of this was actually put into place, only 750. And that number is going to go down, by the way. If it's just 750 over two days, we're on pace for some of the record lowest border crossings in modern American history. But we're going to get that number even further down. We're going to get it down into the teens and eventually, hopefully even zero. And we can actually manage this now, by the way, more troops, more deportations. No CBP1 border app. President Donald Trump has executed a shock and awe deportation campaign. Now, this is the one that shows how morally dark the Democrat Party has become. This one shows how they are against the United States of America. So you would think that if President Donald Trump wants to go deport people, you think, oh, it's only going to be nannies and agricultural workers. No. Embedded in our communities. ICE knew the names, they knew their locations, they knew their criminal histories, and they were just sitting around probably committing other crimes. And Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, while they were president, refused to act on these people because it would be against the national religion of the American Democrat Party. Thou shall not deport a foreign. Yesterday, over 500 violent. Emphasis on violent. Over 500 violent criminal illegals were removed from the streets in 36 hours. These are thugs whose whereabouts and crimes were well known by local officials. But Democrats refused to detain them because it might hurt their feelings. It might hurt the feelings of a child sex trafficker or a child rapist. Democrats can't possibly hurt the feelings of a drug smuggler. Can't possibly hurt the feelings of a gun runner. Every single one of these arrests means that there will be one less Lake and Riley, one less Jocelyn Noongari, and one less Rachel Morin. Any Democrat sanctuary jurisdiction refusing to comply with or worse, actively impeding President Trump's deportation orders must be defunded and likely prosecuted. Mess around and find out. President Donald Trump is also mobilizing other parts of the Department of Defense to using military aircraft to assist CBP in the deportation operation. President Donald Trump also ordered a freeze on Department of Justice consent decrees with local police departments, which Biden and Obama used to shackle local police and prevent them from. From stopping crime. This is just in the last 24 hours. We're analyzing all this. You are seeing your country be taken back. You see those people being arrested. Those are the worst of the worst. And they were just sitting harboring in your communities. And not to mention, this is the kicker. This is very important. They were terrorizing other legal immigrants and Americans in their communities. These are not exactly good people. These are bad hombres. The rule of law is now being unleashed after the invasion was unleashed on us. The cure, the solution, the fix to widespread anarchy and open borders and the tyranny in these towns has been what does the law say? And the law has always been on our side. And that is what is so critical. It's not like Donald Trump needed to convene both houses of Congress and make an elaborate speech and say we need the ability to dep. Those laws are on the books. We did not need James Lankford's border bill. We did not need a bipartisan thing. You needed the will to say handcuffs on illegals, put them in cars. The bottom line is the color revolution is being rolled back. That cultural depression that we were living through, we are seeing being put to an end because we have the will to govern, the will to execute the laws, the will to do what we said we are going to do. Charlie Kirk here in this new year, it's going to be exciting. 2025 is bringing a regime change in America, a chance to reorder and make things right again in our country.

The Lake and Riley bill, by the way, is now soon to become law. It's past the House, passed the Senate. I bet President Trump is going to do a big signing ceremony with Lake and Riley's family around him, as he should. Don't underestimate the strategy of this Trump administration. People think, oh, first Trump administration chaos, all this. No, no, this is a different team. These are the young guns, the people like Stephen Miller, the people like Sergio Gore, the people like James Blair, the people like Dan Scavino. These are the young guns of the prior administration that didn't always get a chance to flex their muscles. They saw things happen in the first administration and they wish that things would have gone differently. And then they saw President Donald Trump displaced from power in the 2020 election. And we all know what happened there. And they had four years to think about it, to plan for this. Russ vote had 4 years to methodically plan, what will I do? And if you think, by the way, things are going well now, wait until you have Pam Bondi, wait until you have Cash Patel, wait until you have Russ Vogt at Office of Management Budget, wait until you have Bobby Kennedy, wait until you have Tulsi Gabbard. It is just about. This is just executive actions now actually implementing things. It's going to get better and better. But the young guns in the White House, they're playing for keeps. This is what is a. I don't think the media has actually ever made this argument. It wasn't just Donald Trump who feels emboldened because of all the indictments against him. Donald Trump's team concurrently experienced all those feelings alongside of him, and his team are equally as empowered and focused with precision to execute the agenda. They were there when President Donald Trump got the phone call at Bedminster, New Jersey, saying, sir, you are indicted. They were there in the New York City courthouse when he actually got convicted. They were there at Mar a Lago when his home got raided. And those staffers who stood alongside him, like Walt Nada, what a great American he is. And they try to turn Walt against the president and they failed. Or Natalie Harp or Susie Wiles, who is just a rock star, they are in complete harmony with this kind of strategy because deep down they said, no, you put us all through hell. You try to put us all in jail, you try to make us all your subjects and your servants. So, no, there will Be no compromise. There will be no metaphorical quarter. We're not going to put up with it. It's not going to happen. So people think, oh, well, President Trump is just kind of on this errant mission. No, his team is unified. His team has the same cadence and they're battle tested. The Trump team, I can tell you this personally, they're phenomenal people. There's no like team of rivals or knifing or strife. It is. They tried to take us all out, they tried to put us all in federal prison. They tried to kill our guy, they tried to kill the boss. And now we are here to fulfill that mandate. It is well orchestrated, it is organized. And do you know what else is not happening? Almost no leaks so far. And that's a big deal. Reporters are like, very used to the Trump operation. Leaking like a sieve. Almost no leaks. They're the ones that are actually learning about this on social media. Now, there might be a leak here or a leak there, but generally in Trump world, they think they can always kind of get one step ahead. Not this time, no. You're not going to get inside action on who the executive order, what the executive orders are, or who the next people are. And the media, all of the media's atmospherics and the media's ability to ascertain what direction things are coming from. Their head is spinning as it should be. And it's just the start. This is the new normal. This pace is not going to slow down until every single one of the problems that was identified as solved is not going to slow down. This is a spiritual mission to restore our republic. And there is a lot to restore. Just the other night, our Turning Point USA chapter at University of Washington had an event canceled because the university did not support their right to free speech. Maybe the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division run by Leo Terrell needs to open investigation into the University of Washington. Maybe the Department of Education needs to withhold their funding. This is going to be a full court press in every major corner of the country. Chicago, Louisiana. San Francisco, Denver, Phoenix. We're not going to put up with this because they did everything they could to try to take all of us out. And we remember that on a daily basis. Neutral gear is not an option. Either you get run over or you're setting the pace. That is the Only one of two things in D.C. either they're calling the shots or you're calling the shots. DC Is a binary town. Either you're in power or you are not. There is no middle ground. There is no neutral ground. You got to keep the foot on the gas full speed ahead. And the pace that President Trump is setting is making Democrats scream for mercy. It's only been two and a half days. Hey, everybody.

Dave, I want to have you on the program because I want him to sufficiently celebrate the pardon of Ross Ulbricht with somebody who understands the issue. I've been pushing for Ross very, very hard.

Ross Ulbricht is a free man with a full and unconditional pardon. Please educate our audience. Dave, who is Ross Ulbricht? What was he convict, convicted of? What is the significance of this pardon?
