Agenda 47 – what it really means

Agenda 47 – what it really means
By Terry A. Hurlbut
Last week, Donald J. Trump effectively clinched the Republican nomination for President in 2024. He humiliated his last rival, Amb. Nikki Haley, so badly that she quit the race. After that, he won endorsements – or rather, capitulations – from Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), now the Lame Duck Republican Floor Leader, and Ronna McDaniel, whose resignation as head of the Republican National Committee took effect last Friday (March 8). At that same meeting, Trump’s two picks for Chair and Co-Chair took office – by acclamation. After that, an influencer on TikTok tried to hold up Trump’s program, which he calls Agenda 47, up to ridicule. Instead she made Trump sound more attractive than ever to the American people. Herewith a point-by-point critique of that video, and a more detailed look at Agenda 47.
What is Agenda 47?
Agenda 47 is, of course, “The Agenda of the Forty-seventh President of the United States, which Trump hopes to be. Trump maintains his own website, which contains a page linking to detailed essays on all parts of Agenda 47. Each of these essays is a transcript of a video lecture, available on Rumble. (Not only does YouTube forbid positive discussion of the points he makes in its Community Guidelines, but they have also blackballed Trump completely on their platform.)
The X account End Wokeness embedded a TikTok video from a (presumably) female influencer, whose name he does not record.

Currently this X post has 15.8 million views, and earned 14 million of them within 30.5 hours. “End Wokeness” did not carry her self-introduction, but embedded 2 minutes 55 seconds of footage. Margaret Flavin at The Gateway Pundit produced this transcript.
Here are the first 15 promises he will make if he is reelected. You may have heard of Project 2025, but this is from Agenda 47, and you can read all of these on his website.
First, he promises that he will carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in history. He will also ask for the death sentence for anyone convicted of human trafficking. He will close the Department of Education and return all education standards to the states to decide. He will put prayer back into school and he will criminalize any race-based advantage programs.
He will end the Affordable Care Act. He will ban gender-affirming care for adults and children and he will ban any federal dollars from going towards gender-affirming care. Which means anyone with government provided healthcare will no longer be able to access gender-affirming care except for Viagra and Sialis, those will still be available.
He will propose a constitutional amendment that gives a term limit to Congress. He will deploy the Department of Justice to investigate the Biden crime family and any of his adversaries or political rivals. He will immediately pardon all of the January 6ers and he will create a task force to investigate anyone who arrested, charged or imprisoned a January 6er. He will increase the penalties for underage criminal offenders, strengthen immunity for police officers and deploy the National Guard to patrol woke cities.
One day one, he will reassess our participation in NATO and says that every European country needs to pay the United States for protection. He will also restore the wonderful travel ban on Muslims coming to America.
He will build Freedom Cities…this is ten new cities built on federal land…he will award them to areas with the best development proposals and he will prioritize moving young families to these Freedom Cities.
He will kill all E-vehicles and E-vehicle legislation seeking to replace that with the development of a flying car…he believes that we could create a car that vertically takes off. He will remove all of the limits on American natural gas exports and drill baby drill for oil domestically.
He will impose a tariff of up to 60% on Chinese imports. He will extend the 2017 tax cuts and drop the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15%.
He will push Congress to pass legislation that would give every American the right to concealed carry anywhere at any time and he will revoke any gun restrictions or legislation that seeks to inhibit people’s ability to own guns that’s been passed in the last several years.
He will demand that Europe pay back all of the money we gave Ukraine and then he will use all of that money to recruit for the American military.
And he will take billions and billions of dollars from private university endowments by taxing, fining and suing the universities, he specifically names Harvard in this one, and then he will use that money to create the American Academy. It is a free online college that will be free of wokeness that he will force employers to recognize as a bachelor’s degree equivalent.
So, that’s Agenda 47.
That’s actually an oversimplified overview of Agenda 47, though nothing in that transcript misrepresents any part of that agenda. In fact the influencer miscounted, for she lists not fifteen points of disagreement, but twenty. The point-by-point critique of the supposed deprecation of the Trump agenda begins here.
Points 1-4: immigration and education
The “largest domestic deportation operation in history,” if Trump can pull it off, is necessary to relieve the bad effects the Biden open-border policy has had. (It also might be the one thing that will ensure a “no” vote on a Texas Independence Referendum.) Trump’s Agenda 47 page has a link to one “Day One” promise he did make. Specifically he will, by Executive Order, end citizenship for the children of illegal aliens, and stop “birth tourism.”
https://rumble.com/v2qxy9q-agenda47-day-one-executive-order-ending-automatic-citizenship-for-children-.html?mref=4teej&mc=88ce6
Women practice birth tourism by traveling, while pregnant, to countries where they wants their children to have automatic citizenship. So far we see women arranging to travel while pregnant – something Emmerich de Vattel (The Law of Nations) never envisioned. (In his day, no woman traveled while pregnant – unless she had a miscarriage wish.) We haven’t yet seen American citizen men hiring out as “green card gigolos” to impregnate women before or after they board ship or airliner. But if we don’t stop the present practice, we will.
Trump describes in detail why he believes those who traffic in children deserve death.

He cut this video shortly after screening Sound of Freedom at his Bedminster golf club.
https://rumble.com/v2y7n9q-the-sound-of-freedom-a-sound-we-need-to-hear.html?mref=4teej&mc=88ce6
If you’ve seen Sound of Freedom, then enough said.
Closing the Department of Education is long overdue. The federal government needs no equivalent of a Board of Education. As to “prayer back in school,” the Supreme Court has done that. Carson v. Makin, Kennedy v. Bremerton School District.

https://rumble.com/v1a7jl7-prayer-wins-but-how-much.html
Points 5-9a: health care and true justice
Concerning race-based advantage programs, these are extensions of the Supreme Court’s welcome decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard/UNC.
https://rumble.com/v2x73oi-affirmative-action-dies-and-high-time.html?mref=4teej&mc=88ce6
“Criminalization” is not in view – but discontinuance definitely is, and should be.
The “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” should be called “The Medical Tyranny and Dictated Care Act.” Joseph R. Mercola, D.O., decried it as the same-old, same-old allopathic medicine he has criticized many times.
Absolutely no indication exists for surgical mutilation and hormonal poisoning of adults or children. In adult cases, that’s between said adult and his or her family. But to make sure it is no business of the government, let the government refuse to pay for it.
Term limits for Congress will create lame ducks. Better to repeal Amendment XVII and let legislatures choose Senators.
The Bidens are a crime family, and are guilty of embezzlement at best, treason at worst. But no part of Trump’s programs seeks to prosecute a political rival for being a political rival. Democrats do that; Trump doesn’t. But Trump has every reason to prosecute those who abuse the powers of their offices.
January 6 was a false-flag pseudo-operation. Everybody knows that. Recently a judge disallowed enhanced sentencing in one case, that could affect hundreds of others. Those convicts did not get due process of law. A mass pardon will avoid costly lawsuits. And that “task force” will set an example for anyone who dares even think of so violating the Constitution in future.
Agenda 47 Points 9b-15: law, public safety, civilization, and energy
“Increasing the penalties for underage criminal offenders” probably means trying more of them as adults, not as juveniles. Considering some of the offenses involved, that’s entirely appropriate. It’s also generally for local courts to decide.
New York City already has National Guardsmen patrolling its subway system.
NATO is a Deep State institution. The only excuse for it was the demonstrable oppression of Stalin and the empire building of Khrushchev. Putin is neither Stalin nor Khrushchev.
The Muslim “travel ban” dates back to the Obama administration and is a good policy, given the explicit calls in Muslim foundational documents for a war of annihilation against all non-Muslims.
Electric vehicles failed the Great American EV Road Test.
https://rumble.com/v47wayl-electric-vehicle-test-drive-fails.html?mref=4teej&mc=88ce6
Road-legal aircraft are already not only envisioned but in production. A company called Terrafugia built one, which received FAA and NHTSA joint approval. A VTOL road-legal aircraft is currently under development. (Problem: the Chinese have bought out Terrafugia. But Elon Musk might be starting a VTOL project of his own.)
America must resume the oil and gas exploration the Biden administration all but halted.
Agenda 47 does not mention “freedom cities,” though Trump has mentioned those before. I don’t approve of the concept. America should stay out of the city planning business. Besides, cities are a “mass society” concept. A network society de-emphasizes cities and emphasizes rural and small-town living with enhanced telecommunications infrastructure. This, in my view (and Dr. Steve Turley’s view), would be far preferable.
Points 16-19: trade, taxes, and self-defense
Foreign imports should be subject to a tariff. That influencer might have invented the 60% figure. But a tariff on overseas imports pays for the Navy that guarantees their safety on the high seas. Furthermore, such dependency on Chinese imports invites supply-chain interruption, attempts to dictate American policy – and espionage, both of the industrial and the militarily significant variety.
The 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act benefited all taxpayers and actually increased tax yields. Cutting business taxes lets businesses grow – and compete on the “soft wages” of fringe benefits. (Not all businesses are organized as Subchapter C or even Subchapter S corporations.)
Some people, like this influencer, don’t understand the meaning of Amendment II. The Supreme Court clearly showed that it did. New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen.
https://rumble.com/v19q6r1-second-amendment-wins-big.html?mref=4teej&mc=88ce6
The Constitution allows any citizen to arm himself at least as well as, if not better than, an infantry soldier. Only a would-be tyrant – or Miss Me Too with the Bullies – need fear that. And the only defense against a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun. Said “good guy” being on the scene already is far preferable than having to summon him. Hence, letting civilians arm themselves.
Point 20: higher education
The Fourth Arab-Israeli War has shown two plagues on higher education: antisemitism, and the refusal of most institutions of higher education to recognize objective evil as such. Harvard University is one of the worst offenders in this regard. Not only did it figure in the affirmative-action case, but they also had a “woke” President who cheated on her doctoral dissertation. If the American people have causes of action for honest-services fraud in connection with the federal grants that have flowed into colleges and universities for decades, any American President has a duty to pursue such action.
Having said that, I cannot approve of the American Academy as Trump envisions it. The government has no business being in the education business, except for the military service academies. (And perhaps all officer candidates, especially in the Army or Marines, should be “mustangs,” recruited from the enlisted ranks.) Enough private “anti-woke” higher-educational institutions exist to serve the goal Trump wants to serve – without risking placing a critical institution back into the wrong hands.
Summarizing Agenda 47
The forty-six videos at the Agenda 47 page give a far more comprehensive summary of the Trump agenda than that influencer gave. Again, she did not misrepresent anything in her presentation. But she presented as unfavorable many things, most of which good-hearted people will find favorable. Of all the things she presented, I could find fault with only three. (And the fault I found, would not be the same as the faults she might find.)
Donald Trump could not have paid for better promotion of his plans than he got from a video whose initial creator intended to find fault, but ended up pointing out good things.
