We will undermine the President... DOD

Is this constitutional?

• Civilian Control of the Military and Government
  Kirk emphasizes that the U.S. government was designed to be led by elected officials, not by bureaucrats within the Pentagon or intelligence agencies. He asserts,

  “The commander in chief has the right to fire anybody he wants in the federal government…He is the top of the United States military.”

• Fear of a “Deep State” Undermining Trump
  Kirk expresses concerns about a shadowy, unelected group—sometimes referred to as the “deep state”—that may attempt to counter or ignore Trump’s decisions, stating,

  “The fight in front of us is not just about winning elections. It’s what is the form of government we are going to have.”

• Accusations of Treasonous Actions
  Kirk suggests that any military or intelligence personnel resisting Trump’s orders could be guilty of mutiny or treason, adding,

  “When defense staffers think that they have the right to ignore a president, that is mutiny.”

• Historical Precedent and Constitutional Principles
  He draws parallels to historical moments, such as George Washington’s relinquishment of power and the need for civilian oversight of the military during the Civil War, noting,

  “The elected politicians, civilian president is the explicit commander in chief of the armed forces.”

• The Threat from Intelligence Agencies
  Kirk warns that intelligence agencies may use their power to obstruct Trump’s presidency through spying and blackmail, mentioning,

  “The Intel agencies have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”

• Call to Action for Supporters
  Kirk urges his audience to stay vigilant and actively support efforts to combat the “deep state,” saying,

  “The fight is just beginning, everybody. Can the military subvert and undermine the will of the American people?”
