This transcript is a short commentary segment focused on Hung Cao’s public rhetoric about masculinity and military culture. The speakers quote and riff on his line that ‘if you pee standing up, you're a man. If you pee sitting down, you're a woman,’ then immediately undercut it with sarcasm. They then play a clip where Cao says the military needs ‘alpha males and alpha females,’ ‘warriors,’ and people who will fight for the country rather than ‘Tik Tok influencers.’ The speakers characterize this as ‘very Pete Hegsethian,’ and note that Cao and Hegseth sound alike because both present themselves as anti-woke alpha-male warrior figures. The commentary also points out that this message did not appear electorally persuasive, since he lost both races mentioned, while noting he is slightly more open-minded than Hegseth because he included ‘alpha females.’
