A couple about to get engaged who work for the Israeli embassy? Why would somebody murder 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, 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 the CIA's Counterterrorism 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 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 D.C. well, let's look at the rad. Let's look at the motive, shall we? Let's actually unpack this together because I think 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 decency as a nation state. That doesn't mean it's perfect. That doesn't mean that there's nothing to criticize. Same thing is 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. Gaza 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 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. 30 year old Elias Rodriguez. So he was pacing outside the Capitol Jewish Museum. There was an event celebrating Jewish heritage and he approached people with a handgun and opened fire and he killed two people with a handgun. This disgusting, slovenly mess of a human being. You will not be surprised to know the whole canon of left wing ideology is present in his social media profile. He's big mask guy. Yeah, you know, like Covid masks, medical masks, Big mask guy and also a big Free Palestine 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, this Individual Rodriguez. So I can assume he is of Latin American background. It's 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 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 is a war. If it 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 was 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 in Gaza. Yet 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, murderous terrorists, as we saw on October 7, it still seeks to act with the 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. 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 and does not care about civilian casualties. How do you fight an enemy like that? If the answer is, well, 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 that terrorists win because there's no fighting against terrorism. It all incites more terrorism, or it is all the cause of terrorism in the first place. Where does that end? What does that actually mean? If you play that out, what do the people. And this is the fundamental question that I think needs to be asked. The people who think. And by the way, there's. I haven't even gotten into the whole explanation as to why they are so obsessed with this issue. I Point this out. There have been 400,000 people killed in the civil war in Sudan that has been raging on for a decade. Do any of these campus protestors, any, 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, the bombing of schools and hospitals, all of which is happening and 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 that was the undergirding, really, the resentment basis of Marxism and communism, it was class based. But that's changed. And 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 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 directing a lot of it. They're the leadership of it. I mean, Biden and, and 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 50 Africana refugees being brought into America. You've had literal murderers, I mean truly, people who have been convicted of murder coming in by the thousands into this country illegally under Biden. And that is an official number from Border Patrol. Thousands of actual murderers and rapists came in and they were far less. They didn't care about that at all. They didn't report on it until the very end of the Biden administration when they pretended to care about the border. But 50 Afrikaners come in and that is a crisis for the Democrats because they're white. And it is a crisis for the Democrats because the fact that they are white Afrikaners 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 as a matter of central belief for the Democrat party in this country, racism against white people, we are told, is not possible. It is not. 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. There are some very well informed people who think our nation has an asset that could be worth as much as $150 trillion 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 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 plain sight and time will tell if the Trump administration releases it to the public. Jim Rickards, former adviser to the White House and Federal Reserve, says if you're over 50, this could be your best chance to build lasting wealth from a once in a century event.

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 a tremendous, unassailable moral high ground that they are operating from and that there is a terrifying, you know, behemoth 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 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 I, by the way, I've looked at this issue. I know people have 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 2000s on this issue. So I've been very aware of it for a long time. I know how toxic the politics around this can be and how nasty it can be. And I'll just tell you, it is quite clear that really the motivating force behind the Palestinian cause is hatred of Jews 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 Palestinian Christians, there's about a million of them, but that's not, you know, they're an afterthought for the Palestinian cause. So what 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 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 conduct any number of strikes on. So think about what this would mean. You know, 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 South Beach? You know, if the communist government of Cuba came in and did that 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, ok, what are you going to do about it? And then we said, all right, look, you can give us back the hostages and you can surrender the people engaged in that attack or we're coming for you. We would go after them, we would have airstrikes 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. How is that supposed to work? How is that supposed to have a. 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 Buck, it's really about. They just needed. The Israelis need to be more 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. Ok? But the Palestinian cause is something that is really just a prism for a lot of the Muslim world's hatred of the Jews. It's the truth. And a lot of the anti whiteness in this country, it's different. Right? This cause 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, race stratification in society? What was BLM really about? Depends who you ask. A lot of things. A lot of things at the same time. But you can take these things down to their core elements. You can take 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 is a matter of fact. That is a matter of public record. And they elected, to the degree that there were any kind of real elections in Gaza, a terrorist government. The Israelis gave them Gaza, and then they just used Gaza as a platform to fire missiles and rockets and then eventually staging ground for the October 7th attack. So that's how they respond to, okay, we'll give you. We'll give you more land. 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 did they do? Did they make it a country that anybody wants to visit? Why is it that I could hop on a plane tomorrow, I could go to Tel Aviv 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, if I had gone to Gaza, probably be picked up at the airport, tortured and killed, why? And we think that there's no, 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 countries 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, and the Palestinians can try to make this everybody else's problem. But I keep 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 mur Gazan Hamas fighters. They don't murder children and feel badly about it, and they certainly don't murder children just by accident. They will murder children and celebrate it like they're heroes. You'll never see an 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 not the same thing. So this is where we are. And then it brings me back to Elias Rodriguez, the alleged double murderer. Here he thinks that he is a soldier, so to speak, an assassin on the front lines of this fight against the worst kind of evil. And he's 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 and it is poison for people's brains. It is poison 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. Shields high. I've said it before and it warrants saying again. 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 the tiny baby in their womb. Over the past two decades, 350,000 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 all kinds of help if the mom chooses life for that baby. They accomplished this with a very straightforward proposition. It's a $28 expense per ultrasound. $28 expense per ultrasound is all that we're talking about for each one of these possibly life saving interventions with a pregnant woman. Preborn operates communities in communities across our nation where abortion rates are the highest. The resources and services they offer, including that ultrasound to meet the unborn baby, really give that moment another option, a better one of life to donate securely dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby. That's 250- say baby or visit preborn.combuck that's preborn.comb U C K Sponsored by.
