CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): Now, I'm going to say something considered controversial. If you're suffering from gender dysphoria, it should be a disqualification from serving in the United States military. Period. The same way that people with other mental issues - hyper-schizophrenia, agoraphobia, or heightened anorexia. You're not able to serve in the military if you have gender dysphoria. You should get the help you need, you should get treatment, you should get counseling, you should not serve in the United States military. Period. It's not a social experiment. We're here to win wars – we used to be – kill our enemies, and break things. We're not here to try be a diverse thing.

So, if you're suffering from gender dysphoria, I have compassion for you, I want the best for you, you're made in the image of God. Sorry, we have standards in the U.S. military. You shouldn't be serving there as a transgender person. Period.
