Hey, folks.
Hey, another week and more BS happening on Capitol Hill, as usual.
This week, if you're not aware, President Trump asked the Supreme Court to make a ruling on his ban on transgender folks in the military.
And, of course, people are blowing up about it.
People have a lot to say.
And so I thought maybe we would just weigh in a little bit.
On the topic, I think that there are some things that don't often get talked about in this argument.
So we're going to cover those a little bit today and see what goat trails we can find and what paths we can travel down for meaningful conversation.
So stick with us.
Don't go away.
We start now.
We start now.

Okay.
So, Tranny's in the service.
The discussion has been going on for quite some years now.
I believe it was back in 2016 when then-President Trump, in his first stint in office, And put out a ban on transgender people serving in the military.
And then, of course, when old Sleepy Joe, our good buddy, old ass eyes, made his way into the White House, he reversed that.
And then gave the Department of Defense and the Pentagon the ability to now pay for care for service members who want to transition their gender.
And then, of course, now we see that Pete Hegseth has come in in the new administration.
And one of President Trump's first things that he did was identify that the United States of America will now only see two genders.
We only identify and recognize two genders.
And so then this whole debacle about kicking folks out.
Who are transgender or as they say more importantly now Anybody who has been diagnosed with Anybody who displays symptoms of Gender dysphoria will now be Asked to pack your duffels and and bounce And so of course there's a lot of upheaval We're
not placating to the feelings of the few.
We're not giving in to the pressure of a very, very, very small percentage of our currently serving military members.
And so the argument has been made, well, you know, there's a whole lot more transgender individuals in the military than
reported. Okay, sure, maybe there are.
They also say that there's a lot more homeless veterans on the streets of our country than are reported.
They also say that there's a lot of veterans and military members who are doing a lot of things and fall into a lot of categories.
That haven't been reported.
And so there's, then we travel down this idea that, well, you know, we can't really make any kind of plan and we can't execute any type of programming or any kind of alternative plan for anything for the folks who don't choose to self-identify.
And come out and say, hey, I'm a veteran and I need help with A, B, and C. And so that's correct.
I agree with that a thousand percent.
We can't help the people who don't want the help or aren't willing to do what it takes to get it.
That I agree with.
But if the argument is that transgender individuals in the military don't take away from Lethality.
They don't take away from unit cohesion.
They don't take away from the overall...
Well, I guess what's a good word?
They don't take away from the overall experience of all the other soldiers around them.
And everything's hunky-dory.
Then why would we be trying to do away with it?
Some will say that the answer is, well, because Pete Hegseth and President Trump and his cabinet and his supporters hate transgender people.
And I don't agree with that.
I don't subscribe to that way of thinking.
But I think that if you're one of those people who are being asked to either Show up to work displaying the gender you are or pack your things and leave.
You have a decision to make.
It's been determined that the way that things have been going or just the plain old presence of you takes away from the unit cohesion or whatever the argument is.
That could be debated for years, tens of thousands of years.
You can debate that all day long because it's a matter of perspective, in my opinion.
But let's not forget about some of the data, right?
And I'm not talking about hard data, but how about just, let's not forget.
About trends.
Is it true or is it untrue, do you think, that the past four years before President Trump got in, when we had Biden at the helm, and we were seeing reports and reading stories and watching news reports and all kinds of things about how dismal,
how absolutely dismal the recruiting issue in the United States military has been.
We can't deny that.
That can't leave the conversation.
And many soldiers or prior service veterans who left or had shown interest in joining young kids or younger adults Who had showed interest in joining and then chose not to.
When these people in these demographics were asked, well, what's up?
I mean, because let me tell you something.
If you haven't experienced yourself for you or your kids or somebody close to you going through the recruiting process, those people are pretty prompt.
They're pretty prompt about staying in contact with you.
They're pretty aggressive about making sure that you know where you need to be and when and what it is that you need to provide the next time we meet.
I'm going to call you on this day at this time.
This is the information you need to have ready so we can build this packet.
And if you are an individual who may need a waiver, Let's say you had some medical issue or when you were 7 or 8 you took Ritalin for a year and you have to document that and then now you have to prove that you're not dependent on it anymore and show how long it's been since you've taken it and blah blah blah.
There's all kinds of steps.
So once you've been through all of that I mean why would we why would we not Just go with the status quo.
If it wasn't broke, why did we try to fix it?
The people who are considering going through this process and through all this scrutiny and all this other stuff, why did they bow out?
Was any of it maybe due to the idea, to the fact of Well, we're letting people chop their wieners off now, and the Army's paying for it.
I don't know if I want to be associated with that.
Could that be a possibility?
I think we talked about it on this show.
I think we provided examples of what recruiting videos and ads and posts and things like that of that time, just a year or two or three ago, What they looked like.
We did a whole show on some major somewhere.
I don't even remember his or her name or whatever.
I don't remember who it was in particular, but it was a story that went nationwide on all these papers and websites and everything else about how they were so relieved now.
So relieved that I can live my life who I really am and do it in a uniform.
Well, great.
That's good.
But you can't now.
And so my question is, when did we become a place, especially in our military, where...
The soldiers are telling the government what they're going to do.
I mean, and maybe some people would say, well, rightfully so.
The government's been telling us what to do forever, and they're leading us off a cliff.
So maybe it's about time we stand up and tell the government what to do.
And maybe you're right.
But the army that I grew up in, the United States military that I was raised in, For just about 20 years of my life, you're not telling the Army what I'm going to do.
When a regulation is put out, you follow it or you leave.
I don't know if this is an issue about anybody hating transgender soldiers.
Maybe it is for people at the top.
Maybe, let's just say then, for conversation's sake, that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth and everybody at those top levels of government just despise and hate transgender people.
Hate them.
Let's just say that.
Okay, but everyone else is doing their job.
The boss put out the intent.
The commander.
The commander put out his intent.
And in the way the army works, everybody under the commander, whoever that is, and however many soldiers it is, does what they need to do to meet the commander's intent.
It's kind of just plain and simple how it works.
Of course, there's a lot of stuff going on within that, but the commander says this, everybody underneath him does whatever they need to do to make this happen.
Plain and simple.
Pretty easy concept.
Well, the commander has put out, if you have gender dysphoria, you're not fit to serve.
And I don't know that anyone needs to take it personal.
I mean, how long in the United States military have we been disqualifying people for flat feet?
How long have we been disqualifying people because 16 years ago when they were 8, they had a positive tuberculosis bubble on their arm because it was given to them.
Who knows?
It was given to them wrong or whatever.
Something that's not going to affect you.
Maybe when you were a kid, you got cut on the arm.
You got cut on the arm and...
There's no damage.
You just got cut on the arm and it left a scar.
Well, man, there could be tendon damage in there maybe, huh?
Yeah, we're going to disqualify you.
Because the United States government, the United States military, the Department of Defense and the Pentagon, if you're lying and you come in and you claim it later and then they've got to pay for it for the rest of your life.
They don't want to pay for it if it's not their fault.
If you've been in the military or you want to join, but you hate who you are when you look in the mirror, no one's saying that you're a piece of shit.
Well, maybe some people are.
But some people, quite honestly, they don't care.
They don't care because they've got their own problems.
They've got their own things going on.
They have their own bobber to watch.
So, you have gender dysphoria?
Sorry.
You can't serve.
Oh, you have ADHD?
Yeah, nope.
Out of here.
I bet if we were to find a recruiter who's currently serving and we put him on this show, And we blurred out his face, pixelated him, and then changed his voice to be a real deep voice,
you know, like the real bassy, low voice.
If we did that so you didn't know who it was and completely protected their identity, I bet you, I bet you that they would have a whole list, a whole list of things that we're going to tell alternative stories about.
To the doctors at MEPS, where you go do your entrance physical.
Oh, yeah, you have to cut him your arm.
Yeah, well, just tell him, you know, you were fishing with your uncle, cleaning fish, and, you know, you were little, and you just kind of slipped when you were trying to de-bone a fish or fillet a fish, and you caught your arm.
No big deal.
There's all kinds of stories to tell these people who have their pad of paper and their red pen getting ready to just say no to you.
And really, at the end of the day, if we're all honest about it, it's really just doctors and medical professionals gatekeeping the government checkbook later.
But also ensuring that we have soldiers who are going to be able to perform the tasks that they need to do when they finish their training.
For whatever job it is that you signed up for, they don't know that, I don't think.
Maybe they do now.
Maybe.
But they want to know that you're going to meet the bare minimums.
And so, they have determined that there are all kinds of different conditions, both physical and mental.
There's mutations or deformities, maybe, that don't allow you to serve.
Flat-footed, can't serve.
Asthma, can't serve.
All kinds of things.
Do you think that there's probably some men and women in this country who got some flat feet, but given the right orthotics, would be able to conduct a whole career in the military?
I bet you there is.
Are they pissed off?
Probably.
Probably because they know that they could have done it.
So here we are.
Now we're talking about something that's very sensitive to a very small amount of people.
It was reported, I believe it was like the 27th of February.
The military released the number of transgender troops currently serving in the armed forces, revealing a population much smaller than recent estimates.
This was like February 27th-ish again.
Currently, according to those figures, 4,240 people in the military.
About 0.2% of the 2 million people in uniform have a diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
4,200 people.
How many people does flat feet affect?
How many people at one time in their life did six months of Ritalin or what's the other one?
Whatever these ADD medications are.
Maybe they took Prozac or Adderall or something like that.
Maybe they did.
I bet you it's a whole lot larger.
Number then, 4,240.
So now our military has 4,240 people currently serving.
So if we allow, let's just say now again, for conversation's sake, that we allow those who are already serving to stay.
Grandfather clause.
Keep them in.
And the government agrees to provide...
Ongoing care and medical treatment to 4,240 people until they decide to leave the military.
But from this day forward, we're not going to let any more people in who are openly transgender.
We're not going to allow anyone to stay in after this day.
If you enlisted after today, and five years down the line you decide you want to...
Chop your wiener off or chop off your boobies and be Todd instead of Tanya.
Or you want to be Tanya instead of Todd.
Everyone loves the name Tatiana.
Even Todd's like Tatiana.
You been in?
Okay, cool.
Stay in.
As long as you're performing and meeting the standard.
Just like everybody else.
But there's got to be a baseline.
And if it's true that these folks don't cause any problems for anybody, it doesn't make any waves, then why were we in such desperate need for people?
Why was our government officials having conversations?
About giving illegal immigrants citizenship to serve in the United States military.
Thank God that never went anywhere.
But it was a discussion.
Okay.
The number of people in our military was at a dismal, dismal point.
Coming up, they report.
Those numbers are coming up steadily.
I don't know if they're coming up super fast, but they're coming up steadily.
So it makes me wonder, when we see everywhere headlines about trannies in the military, and we see headlines about tariffs, and we see headlines about immigration, and we see headlines about this and that and the other thing,
some of these things are probably okay for the American people to question or be pissed off about.
And have some kind of emotional response that's going to prompt them to do their own research, to dig a little deeper.
Dig a little bit deeper than where it is that you usually go for your information.
And I think that if people were to do that, there'd be a lot more sensible conversations going on.
I don't know that we'd ever eliminate the argument.
I don't know that we're going to do away with the argument about whether or not Transgender people should serve in the military.
Just like we're never going to be down with the argument about trannies and women's sports.
I think at some point, somebody's going to make a ruling and it's going to stick and whoever hates it's going to hate it.
Whoever likes it's going to like it.
But there's going to be some kind of ruling and that's going to be the law of the land.
No matter how long we talk about it and bitch about it and let it rent space in our head for free.
I believe that this may be one of those things where we just, this is the policy, and then we roll with it.
If you want to be pissed off and move out of the country, okay.
You want to boycott the military, okay.
Whatever your response is, as long as it's not violent and you're not destroying property.
We want to be pissed about it and scream it from the mountaintops.
Okay.
But there's nothing that says any of us have to listen to you.
And I'm sure I'm not shattering any brain buster myths here.
We all get it.
We all understand.
But what I don't understand is why there's all this extra.
Why there's all this extra talk about who hates who and what's more fair and less fair and all this fighting and wasting time.
We're wasting time.
I think that the American people are probably at a point where they just want to be done with upheaval.
I think there's probably a lot of folks in this country that are done listening to this shit just because it's been going on forever.
And some of it is so, not some of it, most of it, most of all of it is so effing ridiculous.
It's so stupid.
And we find ourselves reading articles, and we find ourselves watching these newscasts, and we find ourselves thumbing through different websites for information.
And every now and then, you've got to read it two or three times or watch it two or three times to make sure that you're understanding correctly what these folks are trying to say and how ridiculous some of this stuff is.
And then they're going to put on a screen to talk to whoever the audience is at that point.
You're going to put on this guy with a stronger jawline than Jay Leno with long hair and makeup on.
Who says he's a woman.
Nobody, nobody, even other women, even other transgender women, nobody can say that this person looks like a female.
But all we want is acceptance.
We just want to be accepted.
And they'll make the argument that, well, you know what?
When I served my country as a man, before I transitioned to a woman, it didn't matter to me what the gender of the person next to me on the left or right, it didn't matter what their gender was.
And I believe that.
But when we talk about unit cohesion, for example, unit cohesion is something that's probably pretty damn important in quite a few different corners.
Of military service.
When we send our soldiers into harm's way, especially, especially the soldiers who are trigger pullers, fighters, combat MOS soldiers,
people who are joining the military knowing that if called upon, I am going to fight.
I joined the infantry.
I knew what the job of an infantryman was.
And so, I say that to say this.
All the hours, all the days, and weeks, and months, and in some cases, years, that these folks spend building relationships with each other.
All the time They spend bonding and all these things that it takes to make a strong team.
Especially a strong team of people who are going to go forward when called upon and destroy an enemy by any means necessary together.
And then you take one of those guys and you put...
A bunch of makeup on them.
You give the appearance that or maybe they do chop off their wiener or give the appearance via their clothing or whatever that they no longer have one.
Now, I've always been a lady.
Well, you don't look like a lady.
You don't sound like a lady.
Your hands don't look ladylike.
Your posture doesn't look ladylike.
And then they wonder why people look at them sideways.
And I don't know.
I mean, I don't know a lot about psychology.
I haven't been trained in psychology.
But I think I know enough about the human condition, maybe, to be able to cast my opinion and cast some thoughts on what other people might be thinking when they see you.
And if you're okay with that, that's fine.
If that's the way you want to live your life, fucking A, man.
Have at it.
Go ahead and do it.
Unfortunately...
That precludes you from serving in the military.
Would you have been a great soldier?
Maybe.
Would you have done amazing, super fantastic, heroic shit?
Maybe.
Maybe you would have.
And should that matter to the powers that be when you decide you want to join?
Or decide you want to stay in when the powers that be say, if this, then that, and that doesn't include you because of the decision you've made in your life, the direction you've chosen to go?
When do soldiers get to make the rules?
And so, let's also think about this.
When anywhere else in government, especially in the military, have the peons, the grunts, the boot shiners,
the low men on the totem pole, since when anywhere have they been the ones to tell Big Daddy, whoever Big Daddy is, What they're going to do.
I bet it doesn't happen in organized crime, families, past, present, future.
It doesn't happen there.
It doesn't happen in street gangs.
It doesn't happen in big business.
It doesn't happen in law enforcement.
It doesn't happen in the fire service.
Doesn't happen on sports teams, although that's changing now since they started paying college players and they think they can demand salaries.
And sure as shit, they can.
That's going to ruin college sports, in my opinion.
But anyway, that's not the topic.
But when, anywhere, have the doers told the managers what they're going to do?
I don't know.
I think that we have also come to a place where we're way too comfortable.
We're way too comfortable saying that something's unconstitutional.
And I understand that's the law of the land and those are the words and articles and everything that we gotta live by.
But there's probably all kinds of things all over the place that are...
Unconstitutional.
When the Constitution was written, were there arguments about whether or not transgender people can do anything or not?
Let alone the military.
That wasn't even a thing.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm naive and stupid and dumb and retarded and all that stuff.
But it just doesn't compute to me.
I don't think that I'm making a case to support the transgender community.
I certainly don't think I'm making a case to talk down about them either.
My personal opinion is I don't get it.
I don't understand.
There are inherently things about a man and a woman that can never be changed, in my opinion.
It doesn't matter how bad you want it.
It doesn't matter how much money you're willing to spend to change it.
There are things about you that you just can't change.
And so, my question always has been, why not just be a fucking gay dude?
Just be a lesbian.
If you want to look like a man, and you're a woman, look like a man.
But all of these surgeries and operations, and then furthermore, pushing it on our children.
I mean, We all saw, also this last week, all the books that folks are putting out there that are in libraries in our schools and things like that.
Man, I'll tell you what, my kids are growing out of the house.
But we're starting to have grandchildren.
Of course, this is concerning to me because I care about my community as a whole, but now I've got more family members who are little ones.
And now, my children are going to have to make decisions about what they're okay with their kids learning.
And, I mean, shit, my wife and I don't really have much of a say other than to say that our children value our opinions.
Not to say that they're going to do what we tell them to do, but they value our opinions.
But it's worrisome to me.
It worries me.
The last thing I want is my granddaughter going to preschool and being read books about not wanting to be who she is when she looks in the mirror.
I just don't understand it.
I don't get it.
And I'm sorry I got off track once again.
But we need to take a break anyway.
So stick with us.
Don't go away.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
Hey folks, real quick before we get back to the show.

Thank you.
Hey folks, welcome back here.
I think that we should talk about, since we're on the topic, right, and it's the Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court for all these favors and this and that, we should talk about why President Trump claims to have done this.
And the answer to that is...
The two biggest reasons, I have it right here, were cited as, one was the cost of medical care.
The cost of medical care to transition, the cost of medical care to maintain whatever operations or treatments or whatever it is that you had to have done to make yourself who it is that...
You want to be.
It's very high.
It's very high.
And the second reason that he cited was disruption in the ranks.
So we kind of talked about that, right?
The negative impact on unit cohesion and the uproar that it would cause.
But I think that...
We should do this.
So I found on this website called the Gender Confirmation Center.
They go through and they outline what the rough costs of some of this stuff is.
And so I'm just going to read this to you for a second.
Because remember, as of February, we had $4,250-ish.
Transgender people serving in the military.
So, let's just run down this list quick.
The cost of chest reconstruction top surgery is $8,000 to $12,000.
Revision top surgery, which is scar revision and dog ears.
I'm not sure what dog ears are, but I can't imagine anybody wants to keep those after they've had some operation.
Out with the dog ears.
That's $1,000 to $3,000.
Breast augmentation with implants is $8,000 to $10,000.
What is this here?
Body masculization.
So this is to make women look more masculine, I imagine, which is your trunk, thigh, and buttocks.
To make it more masculine is $8,000 to $14,000.
Body feminization make men look more like women.
This is just down below.
Thigh, trunk, and buttocks for this one is $15,000 to $20,000.
For a man to make his thighs, his trunk, And his buttocks, more feminine, cost up to $20,000.
Facial surgery, upper third, so hairline, frontal bone, and brow.
So that's probably like your forehead.
Your hairline and your eyebrows, $10,000 to $50,000.
Not $15,000, $50,000.
Facial surgery, middle third, which is your nose and cheeks, is $6,000 to $18,000.
And then lower third facial surgery, lip, jaw, chin, and neck, $4,000 to another $50,000.
Wow.
And so here's the thing, folks.
I didn't read through this list before just now, reading it with you.
This shit's expensive, hey.
Let's go to mediodioplasty.
I'm not sure what that is, but it's $19,000 to $42,000.
The phalloplasty, which is, I think, I think this is when they bolt on fake wieners to ladies.
$35,000 to $50,000.
Vaginoplasty, which is cutting off your Johnstone.
Removing the schmeckle.
Adding a clam.
We're paying $23,000 to $25,000.
$25,000 to have a vagina installed is all it takes?
That's...
Okay.
A vulvoplast.
Oh.
Now you've got to get vulvas and labias put on.
To get a vulva put in, a vulva and your vulval, that's $20,000 to $22,000.
And then to put labias on your vagina also, that's man-made, $8,000 to $16,000.
So this is just a rough list of the things that are needed.
I don't know, it's pretty complete, it sounded like to me.
We went all the way from the hairline to the toes, for Pete's sake.
Yikes.
But this thing also goes on to talk about how there are now insurance policies.
There are now insurance policies that can be obtained to cover the costs of these surgeries.
So, I wonder...
Is anybody surprised by that?
Is anybody surprised that the insurance industry has jumped on board to make money on people changing their gender?
I mean, I suppose they didn't want people just jumping flights to Brazil or to Argentina or to...
Who knows where else people go to have these things done on the black market?
I don't know, somewhere in England maybe, Amsterdam, Paris, who knows where.
Somewhere in the Middle East, I'm sure they got some kind of turkey-carving doctor down in the Middle East somewhere that's doing this stuff too.
I'm sure there's people everywhere.
I mean, these people pay a fortune.
And so, like I said, man, I have a really hard time just understanding where these folks are coming from.
I don't think that they should be precluded from doing whatever it is they want to do.
But I do think that if we have a standard...
In places like the United States military and this type of lifestyle doesn't support that, well, then guess what?
You just can't serve.
There isn't people approaching recruiters and going to MAPS and taking the ASVAB and showing up for their first day in the United States military with a bag of weed.
Right?
You can't smoke weed and be in the military.
But I can enter the military and expect that my government, the taxpayers, are going to pay for me to get a man-made, bolt-on vagina?
First of all, I don't agree with our government spending our tax dollars that way.
But I also don't agree that it keeps up.
To the tradition that is the United States military.
As Pete Hegseth outlined here, that this type of lifestyle, the transgender lifestyle, I think we could call it a lifestyle, conflicts with a soldier's commitment to an honorable,
truthful, and disciplined lifestyle.
So?
There you go.
You have it from the two top people in this organization.
They're going to tell you what's acceptable, what's not.
And we don't get to tell them any different.
And so, again, maybe the delivery of the message worldwide or nationwide or whatever.
It's harder for people to understand.
Maybe the harshness of it is harder for some of these sensitive folks to understand.
There's nothing in here that says because you're a transgender man or woman that the president or the secretary of defense hate you.
There's nothing in here that says they want to see you suffer, and they want to see you die, and they hate your guts.
That's all some bullshit narrative that either the other side or the media or whoever the puppeteers are of this messaging, that's what they want folks to believe.
I honestly feel that at the end of the day, That if this is the lifestyle you want to lead, that that's fine.
I don't think that President Trump, Pete Hegseth, anybody else that's not making noise about this, I don't think people really care.
I don't think that most people really care what it is you want to do.
Go do what you want to do.
But as we've discussed, and maybe we're beating a dead horse, you just can't do it.
You can't do it in the United States military.
And you're not alone.
You're not alone.
There is many groups of people.
Like we talked about, flat foot, flat feet, asthma are probably like two of the most common.
Any psoriasis or eczema.
How many people in this country have skin conditions that wouldn't preclude them from doing a good job in uniform?
And to be completely truthful, I'm not 100% sure that eczema or psoriasis disqualifies you, but I wouldn't be surprised.
What other little minimal things that we all see as not a big deal disqualify us for military service?
But I think part of the problem is that people don't dig deeper.
And I mean, of course, we know that President Trump talked about the cost of this.
But up until we went through that list together, I didn't know.
When would I have ever searched out what it takes to transition and what it costs?
But that's freaking spendy, man.
That's expensive.
And so, if we don't stop that now, and In five years, ten years, we go from 4,000 to 250,000 transgender people serving in the military,
times however many of these surgery costs that we need.
I mean, like, look at this, man.
Just for one bolt-on vagina is three surgeries.
$25,000, $22,000, and $16,000 at the top ends of all three, just for one vagina.
Times that by $200,000.
Not to mention the ladies that want to become men.
Apparently that's only one surgery, $50,000 at the top end, times $100,000 or $200,000.
So, this is also a topic, and this is also an issue that will bankrupt us even more.
It'll push us even closer to falling off the cliff.
If not, help push us over.
Now, if we agree, if the powers that be agree to continue to allow transgender people to serve in the military, then we're going to pay for their surgeries.
We're going to provide them maintenance.
Care and all that stuff to keep it up.
Then we gotta pay for it.
You, me, the taxpayers have to pay for it.
And I don't think based on the November of 2024 election, it didn't seem like...
The majority of our country supported keeping transgender people in the military.
I think President Trump was pretty open about that this whole campaign.
And he disagreed with it, and it's going to go away.
So, like, this isn't a blindsided deal.
This isn't a cheap shot at the trannies.
Plain and simple.
It's the new rule.
That's it.
But what are we...
So what are we going to do, right?
What are the people who support the president in this adventure that agree with him?
What are we to do, right?
Well, I think that we are to just...
Stand by to stand by.
That's what we're doing.
We're just hanging out waiting to see what's going to happen.
And this is part of the shitty part about being a little peon in our country.
We voted for what we wanted.
And this time, the people who voted for President Trump, this time they won.
This time they got what they wanted.
Last time they didn't.
And so, who should the trannies really be mad at?
Who should all these people protesting really be mad at?
Should they be mad at Donald Trump?
Or should they be mad at the majority of the country that voted for this initiative?
And many more.
Right?
I mean, he talked about it.
Those of us that voted for him decided that, yep, I agree.
So, I think that's the voters, the majority, saying this is how we feel.
This is what we think.
He aligns with our views.
He gets our vote.
And let's just say then, for conversation's sake, that the people that voted for him didn't vote.
The whole issue on transgender and the military are just trannies in general.
Because it ain't just the military that he's trying to take it out of, right?
They're trying to take it out of everywhere.
The DEI, the wokeness, the transgender movement where it's not applicable like the military.
So are the masses, the majority of this country, supposed to now go start protesting the Supreme Court?
Make sure you rule for what we voted for?
No, I don't think you're going to find that.
I think that you're going to find that the folks that voted for Donald Trump, for the most part, for the most part, they're going to get up tomorrow.
They're going to go to work.
They're going to bring their lunch.
They're going to work their shift.
They're going to do their job.
They're going to go home.
They're going to have dinner with their families.
They're going to sit down and watch a basketball or hockey game.
They're going to just live their lives.
And why?
Because, number one, they got better shit to do than worry about, let's just say, let's just say at 45-50 or 43-50, whatever that number, 42-50.
4,250 trans soldiers.
They don't give a shit about that.
So let's just say when they voted for them, they didn't give a shit about trannies in the military.
They cared about inflation, the price of eggs.
They cared about the Fed and their interest rate hikes or drops or whatever.
They cared about a lot of other things.
They cared about finding Fraud, waste, and abuse in the government.
They cared about our economy.
They cared about us not falling over this economic cliff that we found ourselves teetering on and maybe still are.
Let's just say that they don't have an opinion on transgender people in the military.
That would tell me that this is a topic that people chose to just, yeah, alright, well.
Cool.
It's not more important than our economy.
It's not more important than inflation.
It's not more important than our safety and our defense.
It's not more important than a lot of things.
It's just not.
Number one, unfortunately, it doesn't affect enough people for it to affect the masses of this country.
And in an already dismal recruiting environment, is our military really going to miss another 4,000 soldiers?
Maybe they will.
Or maybe they'll make up the difference in the next four years.
When we have wholesome Americans who want to serve because they have pride in the flag that they're going to wear on their shoulder, they got pride in the words that are going to be then written across their chest on their uniform that says U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, whatever branch.
They want to do it because whatever their reason is.
School, money.
College tuition, learning a job or a skill that's going to get them out of their hometown because they don't want to be in small-town America anymore, or they want something better.
And maybe all these transgender people want the same thing.
But, as discussed, unfortunately, you can't have it here.
Just not the way it goes.
But I imagine...
That we're going to see in the next week or the coming weeks that there will be all kinds of injunctions and stalling and different rulings coming down to halt the process.
But as usual, over time, I think that we can say that President Trump has a winning record.
He doesn't win all of them, but he's got a winning record going into this battle.
And so maybe he'll win.
And if not, well, then I guess you and me and all of our neighbors get to keep paying for $50,000 bolt-on wieners and $80,000 bolt-on vaginas for our service members.
All because they don't like who they see in the mirror.
And because they don't like who they see in the mirror, and they've decided they want to serve in the military, we gotta pay for it.
Maybe.
Maybe not all of them, but a lot of them, I would say.
You can now serve openly.
Or at least, you could.
So, I don't know how you feel about it, but...
Quite frankly, as I said, I don't really understand the mentality.
I don't get it.
But who am I?
I'm just some talking head that repeats himself on the internet.
I'm just one guy.
But I think that we're going to find that our military without transgender people is going to become more lethal.
It's going to become more cohesive.
It's going to become the things that it once was.
It's going to become what it once was before.
Before we had all this bullshit.
And quite frankly, even when they took away Don't Ask, Don't Tell, we still did a pretty damn good job.
And it's probably because folks didn't really give a shit if you're gay.
Just don't push it on me.
Don't touch my butt in the shower.
Done deal.
Be as gay as you want.
No problem.
And if you walk around with flames coming out of the bottom of your loafers, no big deal.
But, again, that's just my two cents.
Good night.
Good night.
As Christians, in a Christian country, we have a right to be, at minimum, agnostic about the leadership being all Jewishly occupied.
We literally should be at war with fucking Israel a hundred times over, and instead we're just sending them money, and it's fucking craziness.
Look at the site of Israel, look at the site of Tel Aviv, and look at the site of Philadelphia.
You tell me where this money's going, you tell me who's benefiting from this.
I am prepared to die in the battle.
Fighting this monstrosity that would wish to enslave me and my family and steal away any rights to my property and to take away my God, go fuck yourself.
Will I submit to that?
And if you've got a foreign state, you've got dual citizens in your government, who do you think they're supporting?
Would you protect the nation of Israel and protect those of us, not just our church, but every church in the world and in this nation that's willing to put their neck on the line and say, "We stand with them!"
We stand with you!
We go to Trump's cabinet.
We go to Biden's cabinet.
Jews.
I have a black friend in school.
I have nothing against blacks.
She has nothing against me.
She understands where I'm coming from.
Excuse me, I'm a Jew, and I'd just like to say that, you know, in our Bible it says that you're like animals.
