Let's play this clip.

And here he is like trying to act all tough.

He's like, Iran would be unwise to challenge us further.

Yeah, we're dudes.

Here's what Hegseth had to say.

Let's play this clip.

And so the type of person who climbs the ranks under the Trump regime is someone like Brad Cooper.

Brad Cooper runs CENTCOM.

And when I first saw Brad Cooper a year ago or so, I said, hey, you know,

Seems like a normal military guy, but I've seen Cooper devolve into a Trump sycophant where he goes in front of Congress and just behaves like Hegseth and Trump.

And it's been really sad to see what I hear from my military sources is that they all believe that Cooper is basically a traitor at this point and that he is behaving like such a MAGA loser that they never thought that Cooper would behave like that.

And they all mock Cooper behind his back.

Here's what Cooper had to say at his last congressional hearing.

Let's play.

Yes, sir.

You know, while you have Hegseth forcing out and having people like Donahue quit and again depriving us of kind of the critical military leadership during these deeply uncertain times.

I mean, it seems like it would fall right into the...

hands of like Putin and people who wish the United States ill.

You have Pete Hegseth out there turning the press conference room in the Pentagon into a SCIF, a sensitive compartmented information facility, in order to ban the press.

This is what little, weak, pathetic losers like Pete, this is how they behave.
