All right, he had a long and everyone welcome to it Friday. We made it mercifully to Friday. It is the fourth of March 2022. It's a Friday. That's right. Friday. That's all that really matters. I'm Derek Hunter. I am your host.

I appreciate you spending some time with me, some of you doing it at the gym. I don't know how my voice motivates you to go to the gym, but good on you if it does. As long as you motivate you to do something, even if it's just think or sleep, I'm cool with that.

Go to patreon.com slash Derek Hunter podcast. Sign up for that. All right. Let's start the program. Shall we? We can get our weekend started. Lots of things going on. There's a bunch of stuff happening in the world and you sit there and you think it's a serious time in the world and it is a serious time.

It is a serious time in the world. You got Russia's saber rattling about nuclear war. If the next world war would necessarily be a nuclear war and you're sitting there and you're thinking what the hell is going on in this world.

Do these people have a death wish? Maybe they do. I don't know. Maybe they're convinced themselves that they can survive a nuclear war. Whatever their problem is, it's our problem too.

And then you've got the unserious side of it. And sadly, the unserious side is all on our side of the ledger. It's all the seriousness is spread out evenly like a perfectly made peanut butter sandwich.

Just spread out. I personally prefer peanut butter and butter over peanut butter and jelly. The jelly is nice. It's just I'm not super into the sweets.

Butter gives it a nice cutting flavor. Try it sometime. Don't take a lot of butter. Just a little bit of butter. But you spread that peanut butter out smoothly. That is the trouble part. The unserious part is us.

It is us completely. We have an incredibly, I mean, we're all in this together, they say. We're all rowing the same. No, there's some people. I don't think they're pulling their oars. There's some people, you know, diversity makes the world go round. Yeah, but sometimes some people put their finger on the record and slowing it around. Just grew up or everything.

As evidenced by our military, where the strongest fighting force in the world, my God, we were, are we now? I don't know. Washington Freebeacon has this story as Russia wages war US Army trains officers on gender identity.

Yeah. While Russia wages a full scale invasion of Ukraine, the US Army is putting its soldiers through training on gender pronouns and coaching officers on when to offer soldiers gender transition surgery according to official military presentation on the subject obtained by the Washington Freebeacon. Now what the hell does the commanding officer have to do with authorizing transition?

So whether you think the military should be in the transition surgery business at all, I don't think they should be deal with your problems before you join the military. But even if you do that, the concept of your commanding officer having say over medical procedures insane.

The mandatory presentation, I don't you love how it's mandatory. Yes, liberals will make mandatory everything they can't ban. They want to ban the mandatory presentation, quote, policy on the military service of transgender persons and persons with gender dysphoria end quote was given to officers earlier this month along with instructions for them to train their subordinates on the material portions of the presentation.

We're provided by the free to the Freebeacon by a whistleblower who was ordered to undergo the training as a high ranking officer in army special forces. This is what they're focusing on ladies and gentlemen. This is what they're focusing on. Imagine this Vladimir Putin is over there on the phone with Xi Jinping. Can they get a word out in between the hysterical laughter? I don't think they can.

An army spokesman confirmed to the Freebeacon that these slides and question are part of a mandatory training course and come from an official program, quote, used to train army personnel on the recent changes to the Department of Defense and Army transgender service policy end quote all army personnel from soldiers to commanders and supervisors are required to participate in the training by September 30, 2022.

According to the spokesman now isn't that nice? We got a war going on. Hopefully it won't, but it could easily you could see how Russia is being aggressive could easily spill over into other countries into actual NATO countries and obligate the United States to act and we are going to have a military that will absolutely positively be ready to, I don't know, adhere to whatever pronoun demands.

Any one of these lunatics have at any given time? The transgender presentation follows a June 2021 announcement by the army altering its policies so that transgender soldiers can openly serve the shift in policy is part of a larger push by the Biden administration to make the military more welcoming to transgender people.

I think, look, if you want to serve, I don't care, you know, just serve, but if you'll only serve under condition that people are sitting there and using your correct pronouns and recognize that your gender fluid and in any moment you can be one thing or the other or anything and all things and nothing at the same time, then maybe just maybe I don't want you to serve. Maybe we could do without you.

I think we could probably do quite well without you, just saying. Those efforts have prompted pushback from Republicans in Congress and some in the military and everybody else is scared to death.

Who view the policy changes as an effort to promote woke propaganda within the service as Russia's invasion of Ukraine threatens to spark a larger conflict military experts and insiders say they are concerned America's fighting forces prioritizing woke culture over the protecting of American people.

Here's one of the slides transgender service policy. US Army right there says US Army. The army allows transgender soldiers to serve openly. The army is open to all who can meet the standards for military service and remain committed to treating all soldiers with dignity and respect while ensuring good order and discipline.
