Tell us, tell us, baby!
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
It's a read, but you're so good at it.
You're trying to be a fake ass Charlemagne.
There's only one Charlemagne in the world.
Charlemagne!
Oh. Damn, Charlemagne. There's only one Charlemagne.
Damn Charlemagne. Who you give a ducky of the day to? Damn. You know what's sexy, Ray? Let me drink some water. You be drinking the hell out of that water. I do.
Donkey today for Thursday, May 22nd goes to Elias Rodriguez. Elias is in his early 30s and he is
the alleged killer of two staff members of Israel's embassy in Washington,
D.C. Let's go to NBC News for the report, please.
Overnight, a deadly shooting in Washington, D.C.
Tonight a heinous crime was committed.
A gunman opening fire at the Capitol Jewish Museum, killing two staff members of the Israeli
embassy.
New video showing the suspect being detained, shouting pro-Palestinian messages.
Police say the shooting happened shortly after 9 p.m. at a museum event hosted by the American
Jewish Committee.
The suspect was observed pacing back and forth outside of the museum.
He approached a group of four people, produced a handgun, and opened fire. the suspect was arrested in the shooting. The suspect was
approached a group of four
people produced a handgun and
open fire. The suspect
identified his 30 year old
Elias Rodriguez from Chicago
then entered the museum and
was detained by event security,
according to authorities,
Israel identifying the victims
as Yaron, Lejinsky and Sarah
Lynn Milgram, a young couple who are about to become engaged. The young man purchased a ring this week with the intention of proposing
to his girlfriend next week in Jerusalem. Now this isn't political for me. This is about humanity.
Okay I know the Israeli versus Palestinian conflict is one of the most intense debates in
the world today and has been for thousands of years. I am fully aware that Elias shouted free
Palestine, free Palestine while in police custody and
implied that he committed the shooting.
This is definitely driven by what is currently happening in Palestine.
Since October 7th, 53,655 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, according to the Gaza
Health Ministry.
And those numbers may be underreported because thousands of bodies are believed to be buried
under rubble.
I understand all of that. But what I want us to understand is this is why
you can't ignore what's going on in the rest of the world. What's going on in the
rest of the world impacts us here whether we are aware of what's going on
or not. Okay I was in my office this morning and I looked at this couple of
Sarah and Yaron Sarah Milgram and Yaron Lysinski I think it is. I was watching them this morning and I read that they were on a night out and they were about
To get engaged and it just simply hurt my feelings
Okay, I don't care what their race is their ethnicity
All I saw was two humans who became casualties of a system that is failing us all just like all those kids and innocent people
Being killed in Gaza are casualties of a failed system.
And it doesn't seem like it's going to be an end to it anytime soon.
Okay, people are just going to be out here getting it back in blood, eye for an eye.
And I personally don't want to live in a world like that.
Even though we already do.
Okay, we are already in that world because any of us can be casualties of a system.
Another country could send a nuclear weapon over here right now and kill us all because
they don't like our government, because they don't like our system.
When most people in America don't even like our government, they don't like our system.
But we become casualties of it because we are part of the processes and the structures
and policies of this country, whether we want to be or not.
And that's what I mean when I see this couple
Okay, that Elias Rodriguez gunned down. He don't know what they was on
Okay for all he knows they might have worked at Israel's embassy and absolutely disagreed with how Israel is handling Gaza
We don't know but that's why Martin Luther King jr. Said an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere
The same empathy I have for the innocent people
and children being killed in Gaza
is the empathy I have for this couple, Sarah and Yaron.
Okay, same empathy I have for the people
who got killed at the concert on October 7th.
That could be any of us at any given time.
It was just a couple on a night out and got gunned down.
I don't know about y'all,
but because of all of these mass shootings
that happen in this country,
the way my anxiety is set up, when I'm out, I think about stuff like this.
Okay?
If you don't, God bless you.
Alright?
But situations like this are my worst nightmare.
You just out with your lady and somebody shoots and kills you?
I'm not with that.
I don't respect it.
I don't condone it.
I don't like seeing innocent people being killed.
Meanwhile, the puppet masters pulling the strings are highly protected.
Okay? Them and their families don't have to worry
about this stuff nearly as much as we do.
Okay, don't get me wrong.
I know that people in charge of these systems can get it too,
but we the people have way less protection than they do.
I tell y'all all the time on this devil damn radio,
every day of our lives, we are trying to avoid crazy.
Okay, do you understand how civilized we are as a society?
I know it don't seem like that, but think about it.
Hundreds of millions of people interact every day.
And for the most part, we mind our business.
Okay, because all it takes is one guy,
like Elias Rodriguez, to ruin all our days.
Okay, we need to really pat ourselves on the back sometime
and thank God that more of us aren't snapping. Elias, I understand why he snapped, but I disagree
with innocent people getting killed because of his snapping. What Elias did isn't activism,
it's terrorism. And any of us could be the victim of that terrorism. And if the reports
are correct, this couple, Sarah and Yaron, was attending an event to
discuss humanitarian responses in the Middle East and North Africa.
So they was trying to build bridges, not burn them.
We can't be like this as a society.
We can't ignore what happened to this couple in DC.
We can't ignore what's happening to innocent people in Gaza.
If you don't have empathy for it all, I don't want to talk to you.
Okay, because violence begets violence, hatred breeds more hatred.
And if we allow our grief and anger to justify targeting innocent people,
whether in the name of Palestine or Israel, then we lose our humanity.
Okay, this shooting in DC should be a reminder that the conflicts overseas
have real consequences here at home.
And this is why we all should be demanding an end to violence on both sides.
Okay, shared humanity has to prevail over division. Compassion gotta outweigh
rage. Commitment to peace has to be louder than the voice of hate. Please give
Elias Rodriguez the biggest he-huh.
Just my thoughts, just the way I'm feeling at the time.
We're so doomed as people.
Yeah.
Well, let's not say that.
Let's have some faith in a higher power, okay?
All of this has to be happening for a reason, okay?
Just sad.
In some way, we have to trust the process
as disgusting as the process is, you know?
Let's hope for better days.
We have Jess Fix My Mess coming up next, right Jess?
Yes.
Don't do that.
This does not work.
Because it don't work on me.
Is that a penis pin?
I bought those.
Yes.
Oh my God, I just lifted my skirt.
Sorry, am I allowed to say that?
Yes you can.
But I bought that penis laser.
Okay, I got several.
You want one?
I know you did, bro.
But you did.
Nobody in this-
Other genders can't use it on each other.
That's not right. This is harassment.
Men can only do it to other men.
Why? Because.
That's a skinny one. I don't like it.
Well, Charlotte's a thick one.
They said the thick one.
Oh my God, it's right on the side of your face.
Just fix my Mexican.
1-800-585-1051. If you want this woman Just fix my mess. Yeah. Just fix my mess. Yeah.
1800-585-1051.
Call up.
If you want this woman who's currently playing with a penis laser, just fix your mess.
Your mouth is moving so much with that penis.
You know what?
That's going to be said at the Diddy Trial today.
I don't know in what context, but I guarantee you it's going to be said at the Diddy Trial.
And you've been going there too much.
It's consuming you.
That's why you're talking like that.
Oh my God.
