The O’Keefe Media Group has once again pulled back the curtain on the entrenched anti-Trump sentiment festering within the federal bureaucracy. In a bombshell undercover video released Wednesday, Nicolas Turza, a Department of Defense Branch Chief, was caught on tape viciously attacking President Donald Trump as “illegitimate” and vowing to “resist him, everything he does.” Turza didn’t stop there—he also took aim at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, dismissing him as “insanely young” and “unfit to lead.” These shocking revelations confirm what conservatives have long suspected: that the so-called “adults in the room” are nothing more than partisan operatives determined to undermine the Trump administration at every turn.
Turza’s venomous remarks about President Trump reveal the depth of the left’s irrational hatred for the 45th president. “The same guy who tried to overthrow an election is just, like, truly setting us down a path of dictatorship. He’s illegitimate. He’s terribly immoral, breaking every norm. We’re going to resist him. Everything he does,” Turza ranted. These baseless accusations are straight out of the liberal media playbook, regurgitating the same tired lies about Trump’s presidency. The irony is palpable—while Turza claims to be resisting “dictatorship,” he’s the one actively working to subvert a duly elected leader, proving that the real threat to democracy comes from unelected bureaucrats who think they know better than the American people.
Even more galling is Turza’s attack on Secretary Hegseth, a decorated veteran and proven leader. “Ultimately [Hegseth] is my boss. But this is insane. I actually know Pete Hegseth. And this is so crazy… Like, nobody I know should be the Secretary of Defense,” Turza sneered. He went on to dismiss Hegseth’s military service, saying, “He’s insanely young to be the part, like, and he wasn’t that high up in the military. He used to be in the DC National Guard.” This elitist disdain for Hegseth—a man who has served his country with honor—exposes the hypocrisy of the Washington establishment, which claims to respect the military but only when it serves their political agenda.
James O’Keefe, founder of O’Keefe Media Group, revealed that Hegseth had never even heard of Turza, underscoring just how insignificant this bureaucrat truly is. Yet, Turza’s arrogance is emblematic of a larger problem: a bloated federal workforce filled with activists masquerading as public servants, hell-bent on sabotaging President Trump’s America First agenda.

The liberal media, of course, will ignore this story—just as they ignore every instance of deep state corruption that doesn’t fit their narrative. They spent years peddling the Russia hoax and turning a blind eye to Hunter Biden’s laptop, but a high-ranking Pentagon official openly plotting resistance against a sitting president? Crickets. Their silence is deafening.

President Trump, meanwhile, continues to fight for the American people despite the relentless attacks from both the media and the bureaucratic swamp. His leadership stands in stark contrast to the petty, unpatriotic vitriol spewed by Turza and his ilk.
Buh bye.
Look at the promotion system for flag officers. They are recommended by the good ole boys club in the DoD. That list goes to the President for selection which is then approved by the senate. It is a purely political process. Generals are politicians in uniform. Very few truly good officers go beyond O-5. In short, it is politicians promoting politicians. Most of them live off the work of their NCO’s. The DoD is heavily infiltrated by democrat operatives as is the intelligence community. It is way past due to kick them out. This guy is a good start. Pete, fire his sorry ass.
