Kirk: “This simultaneous strike against Pete Hegseth is not a mistake. It is a coordinated plan. It is a unified, synchronized attack. It is orchestrated.”

CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): Out of nowhere, Tom Cotton, the chief warmonger on Capitol Hill, the head of the Senate intel committee, tweets out this morning, a defense of Alex Wong. Remember, Tom Cotton has been behind trying to stop Elbridge Colby. Tom Cotton was the one that was pushing against Tulsi Gabbard. And they're back for revenge. The military-industrial complex via the neoconservatives on the Senate Hill are back for revenge against our America First movement, and they are all after Pete Hegseth. This simultaneous strike against Pete Hegseth is not a mistake. It is a coordinated plan. It is a unified, synchronized attack. It is orchestrated. 

So Tom Cotton tweets out this morning — and no one asked Tom Cotton his opinion on this — “Alex Wong and his wife Candice are complete and total patriots." Oh, so Tom Cotton thinks Candice is a total patriot even though she was the one that was locking up January 6 protesters. Really, Tom Cotton? “100% MAGA Warriors who always put America First." That's quite a statement. “For three years, Alex worked hard for me until President Trump smartly hired him away." Oh, he worked for you to go try to have war plans against every sovereign country that we shouldn't invade. Interesting. Remember, Tom Cotton is like the chief cheerleader to send more money to Ukraine. Number one. “America is safer and better off with Alex in the White House. THANK YOU for your service, Alex!" What a weird flex, Tom Cotton. We didn't ask you for your opinions on Alex Wong. And do you think this actually helps the case? The fact you're defending Alex Wong makes us very suspicious because you are chief warmonger U.S.A. You are number one. You are the new Dick Cheney of the Republican Party. It's obvious, we see it, we know it. The lady doth protest too much, methinks. 

And let me tell you right now, our movement will awaken from its slumber if you dare lay a hand on Pete Hegseth or the America First patriots that are in this cabinet to try to defend Alex Wong and the warmonger cabal that you guys want to keep on having in this administration. We would have been happy to move on from this story. I didn't want to talk about the Signal story. I'm sick of it. It's over. Whatever. You made a mistake. But all of a sudden, I wake up to both The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, and we have Pete Hegseth receiving all this fire. And we got Roger Wicker sending out, we need a DOD independent investigator investigation. No. No. No. We see what's happening here. This is an op. This is an op where you are trying to take out a big, big scalp, someone that you never wanted to be a DOD secretary. And guess who wanted to be DOD secretary himself? Tom Cotton wanted to be head of the DOD. And he didn't get it. And he's bitter and spiteful.
