Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk appeared on Fox News on Friday to discuss what President Donald Trump is saying, “the biggest battle” he faces in his second term.
When he appeared in “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Kirk said Democrats’ main ways of resisting are heavily dependent on lawsuits and injunctions. Kirk predicted that the final battle would unfold through bureaucratic resistance from the very structure of the federal government.
“The last remnants of Democrat resistance will be in administrative state. Therefore, the first kind of vanguard was an injunction using these cases and section III. The last remaining is an administrative state or deep state,” Kirk told Watters. “They’re going to try out the leaks. And this week, Jesse. That’s very important. They’re going to leak everything President Trump does.”
The FBI is investigating leaked Defense Intelligence Reports Agency’s report to CNN that assessed the impact of President Trump’s strike on Iran. Defense Secretary Pete Hegses said the media criticised the leak report and misrepresented the success of the operation by suggesting that the strike had not completely destroyed Iran’s nuclear program.
Kirk warned that this resistance will manifest through various tactics, some of which are already underway.

“President Trump needs to be careful. Are they listening to your phone? Are they secretly recording you? I don’t want to introduce you to paranoia, but after this decision from the Supreme Court they will be very desperate,” Kirk said. “They will have rebellion. They are going to leave their jobs, they are going to do something more subtle again. They will try to take a slow walk through bureaucracy. They are masters in this.
Kirk said these bureaucratic delays were not coincidental, but rather strategic efforts to stop Trump’s agenda.
“Do you want an executive order on this at the border? We’ll get to it in the next decade. You see bureaucracy. They’re the experts trying to slow down. President Trump, he’ll go at Trump’s time.” “He’s going fast and fast. And then it’s the final battle, the biggest fight of this whole presidency, and decide whether we’re in charge or not, or whether the unelected shadow government that we’re not in charge is against the fourth part of the government.”
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to limit the ability of lower courts to issue national injunctions that obstruct Trump’s administration policies. Judge Amy Coney Barrett said the district court has outweighed its powers by issuing a universal injunction that is likely to exceed the powers granted to federal courts by Congress.
