Speaker 1 (00:11):
You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, let make
sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio act
or wherever you get your podcasts. Why would somebody murder
two young people in love, a couple about to get engaged,
who work for the Israeli embassy? Why would somebody murder
(00:32):
them outside of the Jewish Museum in New York City
last night? And I think we should really spend some
time on this. It matters, It matters, and there are
lessons to be drawn from this act of evil, this demonic, nihilistic, vicious,
(00:55):
sadistic act. Why would somebody do this? Well, as you know,
it didn't come in some vacuum. It's not that there's
no rationale behind this. People who say this is senseless,
Oh no, it's evil, But it's not senseless. This is terrorism.
Terrorism is done for a specific purpose. I worked in
(01:18):
the CIA's counter Terrorism Center. I remember the same kind
of viciousness and nihilism from al Qaeda and other terror
groups that we see now, not just from Hamas, but
from those who are the most ardent defenders of and
sympathizers of Hamas. But how can an American from Chicago
(01:44):
think that he should go to Washington, d C. And
shoot in cold blood two people he has never met,
because they're Jews, because they work at the Israeli embassy,
because they're coming out of the Jewish Museum in DC. Well,
let's look at the right. Let's look at the motive,
shall we. Let's actually unpack this together, because I think
(02:08):
it goes to what the true moral separation is between
those who have taken on this crusade of the Palestinian
cause and those who believe that Israel a civilized nation
that operates with the rule of law and with basic
(02:32):
decency as a nation state. That doesn't mean it's perfect.
That doesn't mean that there's nothing to criticize. Same thing
that's true of America. We're not perfect, nothing, but it's
not that we can't be criticized. But we're not North
Korea either. Gods is a lot closer to North Korea
in many ways, isn't it, Or at least it was
an authoritarian state, no rights, no rule of law, and
(02:54):
vicious psychopaths calling the shots. So let's look at why
this individual allegedly murdered these two. Of course, we have
to legally say allegedly thirty year old Elias Rodriguez. So
he was paid sing outside the Capitol Jewish Museum. There
was an event celebrating Jewish heritage, and he approached people
(03:16):
with a handgun and opened fire, and he killed two
people with a handgun. This disgusting, slovenly mess of a
human being. He will not be surprised to know the
whole canon of left wing ideology is present in his
social media profile. He's a big mask guy, yeah, you know,
(03:37):
like COVID masks, medical mass big mask guy, and also
a big free Palaestin guy. In fact, he shouted free
Palestine after he committed these two murders. What moral framework
does he think he's working under? Now, again, let's go
through this piece by piece. It is this individual's belief,
(04:01):
this individual Rodriguez, so I can assume he is at
Latin American background. It is his belief as a leftist
that what is going on in Gaza is a genocide.
Now why does he think that? He thinks that because
there is an entire contingent of the Democrat Party that
says that, now, what is a genocide? A genocide is
(04:24):
something that the Jewish people have actually suffered through, but
a genocide is the destruction, the intentional elimination and mass
murder of a people so that they are effectively extinct
as a people. But that's not what's going on in Gaza.
What's going on in Gaza as a war. If it
(04:45):
was a genocide, it wouldn't have lasted this many months
because the Israelis could have just killed everybody in Gaza,
all of them. There would have been no need to
even have these conversations, because they could have leveled that
there is actually nothing that Gaza could do that the
Hamas fighters could do, or any of the civilians they
hide behind, to stop Israel from killing every single person
(05:07):
in Gaza. And that hasn't happened. Why because Israel chooses
not to do so. Because while it does reserve its
sovereign right as a nation and its natural law right
to defend itself against bloodthirsty murderers terrorists, as we saw
on October seventh, it still seeks to act with the
(05:29):
greatest possible moral guidelines that it can. Now I understand
that there's this moment right now where we are being
told and there are even people on the right who
are beginning to adopt this narrative Oh, it's not that
Israel is fighting Hamas, it's how they're fighting Hamas. How
would these people like Hamas to be fought. I'm curious.
(05:51):
They took hostages, including babies. So these are people who
will use babies as human shields that they've taken hostages,
and they will use their own people as human shields
as well. They will use their own neighbors, family members
in order to promote the belief that Israel is vicious
(06:14):
and does not care about civilian casualties. How do you
fight an enemy like that? If the answer is will
you fight them in a way that's impossible. Therefore you
don't fight them, then you're allowing the terror and I
truly mean this, You are deciding the terrorists win because
there's no fighting against terrorism. It all incites more terrorism,
(06:36):
or it does all the cause of terrorism in the
first place. Where does that end? What does that actually
mean if you play if you play that out, what
do the people And this is the fundamental question that
I think these may ask the people who think And
by the way, I haven't even gotten into the whole
explanation as to why they are so obsessed with this issue.
(06:59):
I point this out there have been four hundred thousand
people killed in the civil war in Sudan that has
been raging on for a decade. Do any of these
campus protesters, any of these leftists, any of these people
who say they care so much, including some people on
the right now who get a lot of attention for themselves,
why don't they care as much about the murders, the atrocities,
(07:23):
the bombing of schools and hospitals, all of which is happening,
it has been happening for years in Sudan. The answer
is that they don't get the same kind of moral
kick out of it because there's no white people involved.
And again, they view the Israelis as white and the
American left in place of the class envy and warfare
(07:46):
that was the undergirding, really the resentment basis of Marxism
and communism, it was class based, but that's changed in
a society as wealthy, truly wealthy, as America is. They've
decided to go with a racially based resentment to unify
the left and the Democrat Party. And I know that
(08:07):
includes a lot of white leftists, but the point for
them is they're above the bad whiteness and they are
a part of taking it down themselves. Therefore they're not
tainted by it, right, Well, they are collaborators in all
of this. In fact, they're the they're directing a lot
of it. They're they're the leadership of it. I mean, Biden'
(08:30):
and you know Pelosi and these people, I mean, they
all promote this anti white policy, whether it's through DEI
stuff or through the way they view foreign policy. We
see this through the outrage over fifty Africana refugees being
brought into America. You've had you've had literal murderers, I
mean truly people who have been convicted of murder coming
(08:53):
in by the thousands into this country illegally under Biden,
and that that is an official number from border Patrol,
that thousands of actual murderers and rapists came into and
they were far less. They didn't care about that at all.
They didn't report on it till the very end of
the Biden administration when they pretended to care about the border.
But fifty Africaners come in, and that is a crisis
(09:14):
for the Democrats because they're white. And it is a
crisis for the Democrats because the fact that they are
white Africaners and are experiencing state sanctioned racism. Establishes that
it is in fact possible for any race to be racist,
and there is anti white racism because it as a
(09:34):
matter of central belief for the Democrat Party in this country.
Racism against white people, we are told, is not possible.
It's like metaphysically, it is not something that can occur.
We've seen other countries develop a sovereign wealth fund as
a way of sharing a nation's wealth among its citizens.
Some opportunities are immediate, others take time to develop. Consider this.
(09:57):
There's some very well informed people who think our nation
has an asset that could be worth as much as
one hundred and fifty trillion dollars and could be the
basis of our own national sovereign wealth fund. That asset
has been buried under American soil and may well be
the basis for career creating such a fund. It could
pay off our national debt four times over. That's the
scale of this. Now, this asset has been hiding in
(10:17):
plain sight, and time will tell if Trump administration releases
it to the public. Jim Rickards, former advisor to the
White House and Federal Reserve, says, if you're over fifty,
this could be your best chance to build lasting wealth
from a once in a century event. To hear more
of Jim's thinking, go to Birthright twenty twenty five dot com.
That's birthright twenty twenty five dot com to get the
details free of charge, paid for by Paradigm Press. Why
(10:41):
does this affect Gaza? Why does this affect what's going
on with Israel? And what does it mean about this
individual who shot these two Israeli staffers Because they view
this as a white versus non white conflict in Gaza.
The American left sees it as colonial oppression by whites
against non whites, and so they think that there is
(11:02):
a tremendous, unassailable moral high ground that they are operating from,
and that there is a terrifying, you know, be a
myth of Israel that is just trampling on the poor,
poor Palestinians all the time. The Palestinians could have had
a state many times over if they were willing to
(11:23):
be civilized and reasonable. They don't want it. What they
want is Israel, right, So this is this is where
it all comes down. And by the way I've looked
at this issue. I know people are. I've been more
focused on it, certainly in recent years than I have been.
I got a lot that I got to cover, But
I started out my career in Middle East politics, going
back to the early two thousands, on this issue. So
(11:45):
I've been very aware of it for a long time.
I know how toxic the the politics around this can
be and how nasty it can be. And I'll just
tell you it is quite clear that that really the
motivating force behind the Palestinian cause is hatred of Jews
(12:06):
and their eradication in Israel and the replacement of them
with it's really a replacement theory, the replacement of them
with Arab Muslim Palestinians. I know there are some Palaestinian Christians,
there's about a million of them, but that's not you know,
they're They're an afterthought for the Palestinian cause. So what
(12:26):
again is Israel supposed to do? The people who talk
about this, and the people who seem to have the
most the most strident criticisms of Israel never really have
an answer. They say, killing civilians is wrong. Okay, yes,
war is a terrible thing. But if you're going to
(12:47):
say that a country cannot fight a war if it's
going to have any civilian casualties, and you're not going
to hold the country that started the war or that
continues the need for the war, in this case, Gaza
responsible for hiding behind those civilians. Well, then what is
to stop any nation from deciding that they're going to
(13:09):
conduct any number of strikes? And so think about what
this would mean. You know what, what are we supposed
to think? How would we respond if Cuba. I'm here
in South Florida, if Cuba landed a battalion of Cuban
soldiers and just started murdering people all over all over
(13:30):
South Beach. You know, the if the communist government of
Cuba came in and did that. Uh, And this would
be a very bad idea because me and my fellow
Floridians are well armed, and the Cuban Americans who are
here would I think they'd be more than ready for
this fight. But I'm just for the purpose of this analogy.
And then they took hundreds of US hostage and went
back to Cuba and said, Okay, what are you going
(13:53):
to do about it? And then we said, all right, look,
you can give us back the hostages and you can,
you can surrender the people engaged in that attack, or
we're coming for you. We would go after them, we
would have air strikes and there would be Cubans who
died in this on the island of Cuba who were
not involved. And that is just the reality of the
world we live in. Otherwise they could do this anytime.
(14:17):
How is that supposed to work? How is that supposed
to How are we supposed to have functional civilizations when
the most insane, radicalized, and vicious groups in the world
can engage in an attack and know that anything that
happens to them afterwards. Oh but book, it's really about
they just need to The Israelis need to be more
(14:39):
careful with their strikes. They've been careful with their strikes
for as long as I've been alive. They don't want
to go through this, okay. But the Palestinian cause is
something that is really just a prism for a lot
of the Muslim world, hatred of the Jews. It's the truth,
and a lot of the anti whiteness in this country.
(14:59):
It's different, right, This caused morphs depending just like with BLM.
Was BLM really about cops? Was it about a racial reckoning.
Was it really about, you know, stratification, class, stratification, a
stratification in society. What was BLM really about depends who
you asked. A lot of things, a lot of things
at the same time. But you can you can take
these things down to their core elements. You can take
(15:21):
them down to what is really animating these groups, what
is really pushing them forward. And in the case of
the Palestinians, they are trained and taught to hate the Jews,
that as a matter of fact, that as a matter
of public record. And they elected, to the degree that
there are any kind of real elections in Gaza, a
terrorist government. The Israelis gave them Gaza, and then they
(15:45):
just use Gaza as a platform to fire, to fire
missiles and rockets and then eventually staging ground for the
October seventh attack. So that's how they respond to, Okay,
we'll give you, we'll give you more land, we'll pull
we will pull out settlers. That has to be remembered
in all of this, Israel said, you know what, fine,
take it, take it. And what do they do? Did
(16:05):
they make it a country that anybody wants to visit?
Why is it that I could hop on a plane. Tomorrow,
I go to TV and have a great time and
get along with the Israeli people, get along with the
Palestinians who live inside of Israel, by the way, and
have rule of law, protection and can go about their
lives in safety and security. Why is it I can
do that? But everyone knows even before this war started,
(16:25):
if I had gone to Gaza, probably be picked up
at the airport, tortured and killed. Why and we think
that there there's no distinction here? This is like people
who This is such a stupid argument from individuals. Is
England the same as North Korea? I've never been to
North Korea, but I know a fair amount about it
been to England. No surprise. Are these Are these countries
(16:47):
morally on the same plane? Why is it so easy
for us to see that? But it's so hard for
people to see. Are Israel and Gaza on the same
moral plane? No they are not. The Gazans have chosen this,
and they can cry and whine about history for as
long as they want. The Palestinians can try to make
(17:08):
this everybody else's problem. But I can coming back to this,
Why should I care more about the supposed oppression that
has been occurring in recent years in Gaza, which is
under the rule of Hamas, which is a terrorist entity
which will murder children and celebrate it. They don't murder
Gazen Hamas fighters, they don't murder children feel badly about it,
(17:33):
and they certainly don't murder children just by accident. They
will murder children and celebrate it like their heroes. You'll
never see in Israeli doing that. They don't celebrate any
of the collateral and they don't intentionally kill civilians. People say, well,
it's the same thing if you drop a bomb on
a building. It's not the same thing. And anybody who
has spent any time in a war zone knows it's
(17:53):
not the same thing. So this is where we are.
And then it brings me back to Las Rodriguez, the
alleged double murderer. Here he thinks that he is a soldier,
so to speak, and assassin on the front lines of
this fight against the worst kind of evil, and he's
(18:16):
somebody who's so deranged he does not know good from evil.
And that is because of the propaganda of the Democrat Party.
It is because of the obtuse nature of discussions in
this country that revolve around colonialism and anti whiteness and
anti Semitism, and how there's always this space made for
this in the academy. It is all garbage. It is horrible,
(18:40):
and it is poison for people's brains. It is poisoned
for people's minds. And this guy Rodriguez represents an enemy
of civilization, just like Hamas is an enemy of civilization.
They're the foreign version. This guy is the domestic. Thanks
for being here for the buck, brief, have a great weekend,
shield time. I've said it before and warrant saying again.
(19:02):
Preborn accomplishes in a year what so many other organizations
would hope to accomplish in a lifetime. Last year alone,
Preborn made it possible for tens of thousands of babies
to be brought into this world. And they start this
whole process by welcoming pregnant mothers who are considering abortion
and presenting them with a better idea giving life to
(19:22):
the tiny baby in their womb. Over the past two decades,
three hundred and fifty thousand babies have been saved in
this way by Preborn's efforts. And it all starts with
that ultrasound process when Preborn brings that mother to be
in introduces her to the tiny life growing inside of
her womb, and then says there'll be support, love, and
(19:43):
all kinds of help if the mom chooses life for
that baby. They accomplish this with a very straightforward proposition.
It's a twenty eight dollars expense per ultrasound. Twenty eight
dollars expense per ultrasound is all that we're talking about
for each one of these possibly life saving interventions with
(20:05):
a pregnant woman. Preborn operates communities in communities across our
nation where a BO rates are the highest. The resources
and services they offer, including that ultrasound to meet the
unborn baby, really give that mom another option, a better
one of life. To donate securely, dial pound two fifty
and say the keyword baby. That's pound two five zero
