Charlie Kirk Stands with Roger Ver in Battle Against Government Overreach

In a powerful display of solidarity, political activist and host of "The Charlie Kirk Show," Charlie Kirk, has taken a firm stance in support of Roger Ver, who is currently ensnared in a contentious legal battle with the U.S. government. In an episode aired that aired today, Charlie Kirk delved into the intricacies of Ver's case, highlighting what they describe as a gross example of government overreach.

The episode featured Ver himself, who, due to the sensitivity of his legal situation, chose to make a silent statement by appearing with a piece of tape over his mouth labeled "CENSORED." This poignant gesture underscored the gravity of his situation, where every word could potentially be used against him in court.

Tracy Thurman took the lead in articulating the complexities of Ver's case. She outlined how Ver, after renouncing his U.S. citizenship, was slapped with an exit tax – a tax levied on individuals whose net worth exceeds $2 million upon departure from the country. According to Thurman, Ver went to great lengths to comply with this "unconstitutional tax," employing top tax attorneys and accountants to ensure all obligations were met. Yet, despite these efforts, the U.S. government pursued him aggressively, leading to a motion to dismiss which is detailed on FreeRogerNow.org.

The Absurdity of the Exit Tax

Thurman explained the bizarre nature of the charges against Ver, which stem from allegations of underpayment of exit taxes in 2014 and 2017. The absurdity lies in the fact that by 2017, Ver was no longer a U.S. citizen, yet was still being charged as if he were. She compared the situation to an impossible scenario where everyone in the U.S. would sell their homes simultaneously, crashing the market. Ver, at the time holding a significant portion of the world's Bitcoin, faced a similar dilemma; selling all his assets would have devalued them to near nothing due to market saturation.

The discussion on Kirk's show painted a vivid picture of the government's expectations – essentially demanding peak market value for assets that, if sold en masse, would plummet in worth. Thurman emphasized this by pointing out the government's raid on Ver's lawyers' offices in 2017, an action she described as a direct assault on attorney-client privilege, which should alarm every American about the sanctity of legal confidentiality.

Kirk expressed his full agreement with Thurman's sentiments, pledging to use his platform to push for justice for Ver. He noted the irony that former President Donald Trump, who had himself been a target of what he described as "lawfare," now has the power to pardon Ver or have the charges dismissed. Kirk announced his intention to urge President-elect Trump to act, advocating for a "clean slate" for Roger Ver.

The show was not just a recount of legal troubles but a call to action. It highlighted the broader implications of such governmental actions on individual rights and the integrity of legal processes. Kirk's commitment to Ver's cause was clear; he vowed to continue the fight, hoping to see Ver as a "free citizen" once more. This episode of "The Charlie Kirk Show" went beyond just reporting news; it was an impassioned plea for fairness, highlighting a case that could set precedents for how far-reaching and intrusive government powers can become if left unchecked.
