- 0:16Speaker 1: out of that one. Donkey todate for Thursday, May twenty
- 0:20Speaker 1: second goes to Elias Rodriguez. Elias is in his early
- 0:24Speaker 1: thirties and he is the alleged killer of two staff
- 0:27Speaker 1: members of Israel's embassy in Washington, d C. Let's go
- 0:30Speaker 1: to NBC News for the report place overnight.
- 0:33Speaker 2: A deadly shooting in Washington.
- 0:35Speaker 1: D C tonight at Hana's crime was committed.
- 0:37Speaker 2: A gunman opening fire at the Capitol Jewish Museum, killing
- 0:41Speaker 2: two staff members of the Israeli embassy. New video showing
- 0:45Speaker 2: the suspect being detained shouting pro Palestinian messages. Police say
- 0:53Speaker 2: the shooting happened shortly after nine pm at a museum
- 0:56Speaker 2: event hosted by the American Jewish Committee.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Was observed pacing back and forth outside of the museum.
- 1:03Speaker 1: He approached a group of four people, produced a handgun
- 1:07Speaker 1: and opened fire.
- 1:08Speaker 2: The suspect, identified as thirty year old Elias Rodriguez from
- 1:12Speaker 2: Chicago then entered the museum and was detained by event security.
- 1:16Speaker 2: According to authorities Israel, identifying the victims as yarn Lezhinski
- 1:21Speaker 2: and Sarah Lynn Milgram, a young couple who are about
- 1:24Speaker 2: to become engaged.
- 1:26Speaker 1: The young man purchased a ring this week with the
- 1:29Speaker 1: intention of proposing to his girlfriend next week in Jerusalem.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Now this isn't political for me. This is about humanity, okay.
- 1:38Speaker 1: I know the Israeli versus Palestinian conflict is one of
- 1:40Speaker 1: the most intense debates in the world today and has
- 1:43Speaker 1: been for thousands of years. I am fully aware that
- 1:46Speaker 1: Elias shouted free Palestine, Free Palestine while in police custody
- 1:50Speaker 1: and implied that he committed the shooting. This is definitely
- 1:53Speaker 1: driven by what is currently happening in Palestine. Since October seventh,
- 1:57Speaker 1: fifty three thousand, six hundred and fifty five Palestinian have
- 2:00Speaker 1: been killed in Gaza, according to the Gaza Health Ministry,
- 2:03Speaker 1: and those numbers may be underreported because thousands of bodies
- 2:06Speaker 1: are believed to be buried under rubble. I understand all
- 2:09Speaker 1: of that, but what I want us to understand is
- 2:11Speaker 1: this is why you can't ignore what's going on in
- 2:13Speaker 1: the rest of the world. What's going on in the
- 2:15Speaker 1: rest of the world impacts us here, whether we are
- 2:18Speaker 1: aware of what's going on or not. Okay, I was
- 2:21Speaker 1: in my office this morning and I looked at this couple,
- 2:24Speaker 1: Sarah and Yarn, Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lisinski. I think
- 2:29Speaker 1: it is I was watching them this morning and I
- 2:31Speaker 1: read that they were on a night out and they
- 2:32Speaker 1: were about to get engaged, and it just simply hurt
- 2:35Speaker 1: my feelings. I don't care what their race is, their ethnicity.
- 2:39Speaker 1: All I saw was two humans who became casualties of
- 2:42Speaker 1: a system that is failing us all. Just like all
- 2:45Speaker 1: those kids and innocent people being killed in Gaza are
- 2:48Speaker 1: casualties of a failed system. And it doesn't seem like
- 2:51Speaker 1: it's going to be an into it anytime soon. Okay,
- 2:53Speaker 1: people are just going to be out here getting it
- 2:55Speaker 1: back in blood eye for an eye, And I personally
- 2:58Speaker 1: don't want to live in a world like that, even
- 3:01Speaker 1: though we already do. Okay, we are already in that
- 3:04Speaker 1: world because any of us can be casualties of a system.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Another country could send the nuclear weapon over here right
- 3:11Speaker 1: now and kill us all because they don't like our government,
- 3:14Speaker 1: because they don't like our system. When most people in
- 3:17Speaker 1: America don't even like our government. They don't like our system.
- 3:20Speaker 1: But we become casualties of it because we are part
- 3:23Speaker 1: of the processes and the structures and policies of this country,
- 3:27Speaker 1: whether we want to be or not. And that's what
- 3:29Speaker 1: I mean when I see this couple, okay, that Elias
- 3:32Speaker 1: Rodriguez gunned down. He don't know what they was on, Okay,
- 3:35Speaker 1: For all he knows, they might have worked at Israel's
- 3:37Speaker 1: embassy and absolutely disagree with how Israel is handling Gaza.
- 3:41Speaker 1: We don't know, but that's why Martin Luther King Junior said,
- 3:44Speaker 1: an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. The
- 3:47Speaker 1: same empathy I have for the innocent people and children
- 3:50Speaker 1: being killed in Gaza is the empathy I have for
- 3:52Speaker 1: this couple, Sarah and yarn Okay, same empathy I have
- 3:55Speaker 1: for the people who got killed at the concert on
- 3:57Speaker 1: October seventh. That could be any of us at any
- 4:00Speaker 1: given time. It was just a couple on a night
- 4:02Speaker 1: out and got gunned down. I don't know about y'all,
- 4:06Speaker 1: but because of all of these mass shootings that happen
- 4:08Speaker 1: in this country. The way my anxiety is set up.
- 4:10Speaker 1: When I'm out I think about stuff like this. Okay,
- 4:13Speaker 1: if you don't, God bless you, all right, But situations
- 4:16Speaker 1: like this are my worst nightmare. You just out with
- 4:18Speaker 1: your lady and somebody shoots and kills you. I'm not
- 4:21Speaker 1: with that. I don't respect it. I don't condone it.
- 4:24Speaker 1: I don't like seeing innocent people being killed. Meanwhile, the
- 4:26Speaker 1: puppet master's pulling the scrings are highly protected. Okay, them
- 4:29Speaker 1: and their families don't have to worry about this stuff
- 4:31Speaker 1: nearly as much as we do. Okay, don't get me wrong.
- 4:34Speaker 1: I know that people in charge of these systems can
- 4:36Speaker 1: get it too, but we the people, have way less
- 4:38Speaker 1: protection than they do. I tell y'all all the time
- 4:41Speaker 1: on this devil damn radio. Every day of our lives,
- 4:43Speaker 1: we are trying to avoid crazy. Okay. Do you understand
- 4:48Speaker 1: how civilized we are as a society. I know it
- 4:52Speaker 1: don't seem like that, but think about it. Hundreds of
- 4:55Speaker 1: millions of people interact every day, and for the most part,
- 4:59Speaker 1: we mind business, okay, because all it takes is one
- 5:02Speaker 1: guy like Elias Rodriguez. They're ruin all our days. Okay,
- 5:06Speaker 1: we need to really pat ourselves on the back sometime
- 5:08Speaker 1: and thank God that more of us aren't snapping Elias.
- 5:13Speaker 1: I understand why he snapped, but I disagree with innocent
- 5:16Speaker 1: people getting killed because of his snapping. What Elias did
- 5:20Speaker 1: isn't activism, It's terrorism and any of us could be
- 5:23Speaker 1: the victim of that terrorism. And if the reports are correct,
- 5:27Speaker 1: this couple, Sarah and Yarn, was attending an event to
- 5:32Speaker 1: discuss humanitarian responses in the Middle East in North Africa. Damn.
- 5:37Speaker 1: So they was trying to build bridge. It's not Burnham. Okay.
- 5:40Speaker 1: We can't be like this is a society. We can't
- 5:42Speaker 1: ignore what happened to this couple in DC. We can't
- 5:45Speaker 1: ignore what's happening to innocent people in Gaza. If you
- 5:48Speaker 1: don't have empathy for it all, I don't want to
- 5:50Speaker 1: talk to you, Okay, Because violence begets violence, Hatred breeds
- 5:53Speaker 1: more hatred, and if we allow our grief and anger
- 5:55Speaker 1: to justify targeting innocent people, whether in the name of
- 5:58Speaker 1: Palestine or Israel, then we lose our humanity. Okay. This
- 6:03Speaker 1: shooting in DC should be reminded that the conflicts overseas
- 6:06Speaker 1: have real consequences here at home, and this is why
- 6:08Speaker 1: we all should be demanding an into violence on both sides. Okay,
- 6:14Speaker 1: Shared humanity has to prevail over division. Compassion gotta outweigh rage,
- 6:19Speaker 1: commitment to peace has to be louder than the voice
- 6:22Speaker 1: of hate. Please give Elias Rodriguez the biggest he huh,
- 6:29Speaker 1: just my thoughts, just the way I'm feeling at the time.
- 6:32Speaker 1: I agree. Yeah, well, let's not say that. Let's have
- 6:36Speaker 1: some Let's have some faith in a higher power. Okay.
- 6:38Speaker 1: All of this has to be happening for a reason. Okay,
- 6:42Speaker 1: and in some way we have to trust the process.
- 6:45Speaker 1: As disgusting as the process is, you know, let's hope
- 6:49Speaker 1: for better days. We have just fixed my mess coming
- 6:52Speaker 1: up next, right, Jess, Because you don't do that. This
- 6:55Speaker 1: does not work, because it don't work. I bought those
- 7:00Speaker 1: lifted Yes you can, but I bought that penis laser. Okay,
- 7:05Speaker 1: I got several you want to, but not nobody else.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Gingers can't use it on each other. That's not right.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Is harassment. The men can only do with the other men.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Why because he can only skinny one? Don't they said that?
- 7:25Speaker 1: Just fish? Just fix my message. Hundred five five five one.
- 7:31Speaker 1: If you want this woman who's currently playing with a
- 7:33Speaker 1: penis laser to fix your mess, your mouth is moving
- 7:36Speaker 1: so much with that penis. You know what that's gonna
- 7:39Speaker 1: be said at the Didty trial today. I don't know
- 7:40Speaker 1: what context. I guarantee you it's gonna be said that
