In this monologue, Dennis Prager lauds President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for a new Department of Defense directive that requires the identification and discharge of transgender service members within 30 days unless a waiver is granted. Prager frames the policy as essential to maintaining the military’s high physical and mental standards, arguing that transgender individuals, who he characterizes as having a mental impairment and a willingness to “mutilate” their bodies, are unfit for combat. He denounces diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, claims the political left seeks to undermine the military by promoting transgender “heroes,” and links transgender people to violence, citing alleged mass‑shooter incidents. Throughout, he emphasizes a narrative of a strong, aggressive military capable of defeating adversaries, positioning the directive as a removal of “wokeness” from the armed forces.

I am so happy for soldiers and for our military that now we have a Secretary of Defense and a Commander-in-Chief, first and foremost, that cares enough for our troops to make sure that, uh, Lord willing, they're going to give them everything they need supply-wise if they do have to go into battle to win and to defeat our enemies. And hopefully more times than not, keep them out of harm's way. But listen, the goal is to be big and bad and strong and to make sure that we could beat up any of our adversaries. And that is the goal. The goal is to be able to kill people and break stuff. I know it doesn't sound nice. I know, I know it doesn't sound pretty, but that's what the military is about. And so I'm so glad that President Trump has brought on board Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. You guys need to hear this because you have to understand what the left was trying to do is develop new heroes. I'll get to that in a sec, in a sec, but here's just a summary from X. All right, so the Department of Defense has issued a new directive affecting transgender service members. Um, this according to the memo, transgender, uh, trans or directive affecting transgender service members. Sorry. So according to the memo, transgender individuals or those with gender dysphoria must be identified within 30 days and will face separation, basically discharge from the military, unless they obtain a waiver. So this policy aims to uphold what the DOD considers high mental and physical standards for service, though it has sparked controversy over discrimination and capability assumptions. This isn't discrimination. These were the standards of the military. You should be fit. You should be mentally fit. We are, we are asking people to go literally sign up and risk their lives for our freedom, for our safety. And when they go into battle so that they can defeat their adversaries, so that they can defeat our adversaries, they should be physically and they should be mentally fit because the mission again is to kill people and to break stuff and nothing should get in the way of that. No DEI, no trans issues, none of that stuff. The only thing that's going to matter when these guys are on the battlefield is the guy next to them in green fighting to stay alive right alongside them when they're out there killing our adversaries so that we can sit back here and pretend like nothing is going on and have a hunky-dory life because we're so blessed and privileged. To be Americans. That's, that's essentially what it's about. So kudos to President Trump, kudos to the Secretary of Defense of removing wokeness out of our military. And so what the left was trying to do when it came to trans soldiers in the military, it wasn't just trying to make sure that transgender people that are, that suffer from gender dysphoria with that mental condition It wasn't just that the left wanted them to be able to serve. It wasn't about discrimination. It was about, it was about tearing down one of our pillars. That's what it was about. It was about creating new heroes. No, Super Friends aren't heroes. No, police officers aren't heroes. No, firemen aren't heroes. No, soldiers aren't heroes. A dude that wants to be a girl, that's a hero. That's what the left tries to do. They have to tear down America and rebuild it. Hat tip, red state. Regarding the DOD issuing their new guidance ordering the military services to begin the process of discharging trans members of the armed forces in 30 days, the new policy recognizes only two sexes. It requires members of the armed forces to adhere to the physical fitness and grooming standards of their biological sex. Oh my goodness, Tommy Doolittle is going to go nuts over that one. Any attempt at chemically or surgically changing sex makes the person unsuitable for military service. Now that's so important. Now why is that important? Because if you're willing to mutilate your body If you're willing to chop off body parts, guys, clearly there's something wrong with you, and it's about time we have a military that's willing to say so. It's sad that this is where we are in our culture, but this is where we are. If a person had, quote, at some point been transgender, they can be retained if they, uh, quote, demonstrate 36 consecutive months of stability, close quote, in their sex, with no, quote, clinically significant distress or impairment, close quote. Now, what do you think is going to happen if these people are mentally stable? If they just get some type of kick of looking like a woman, maybe get aroused, a man dressing like a woman— that does exist— what's going to happen? These people are going to adhere to the orders, and they're going— men are going to dress like men, women are going to dress like women. But if they're truly suffering from gender dysphoria, this is really going to torment them and they're going to have to leave. Good. They should leave. They should go and get treatment. Listen, I love everybody. I love everybody. I don't like everybody, but I love everybody. But these people suffer with a mental impairment and they should not be in the military. You guys know that a lot of the mass shooters— I know this isn't reported, especially lately in the last decade. Have been trans people. You guys did hear that, that trans Zizean cult, uh, cult members were finally arrested for shooting that Vermont, uh, uh, Border Patrol agent. You guys heard that, right? These people can be— sorry— dangerous. They've got to get out of the military.
