1
00:00:11,697 --> 00:00:14,977
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure

2
00:00:14,977 --> 00:00:17,977
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or

3
00:00:18,017 --> 00:00:21,457
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Hamas is an enemy of

4
00:00:21,497 --> 00:00:26,337
Speaker 1: civilization and it will not stop until it is stopped

5
00:00:26,337 --> 00:00:31,257
Speaker 1: by force of arms. This was true before the most

6
00:00:31,297 --> 00:00:37,937
Speaker 1: recent horrific execution of six hostages. After months of physical

7
00:00:38,017 --> 00:00:44,777
Speaker 1: and psychological brutalization, Hamas killed the six individuals, including one

8
00:00:44,777 --> 00:00:47,817
Speaker 1: who's a dual US citizen. We'll talk about this, but

9
00:00:47,897 --> 00:00:50,577
Speaker 1: this was true about Hamas, that it is an enemy

10
00:00:50,577 --> 00:00:55,297
Speaker 1: of civilization, that it is an entity of savagery and barbarism.

11
00:00:55,537 --> 00:00:59,617
Speaker 1: This was true before October seventh, even this has always

12
00:00:59,737 --> 00:01:03,857
Speaker 1: been the case. It is an evil death cult. And

13
00:01:03,937 --> 00:01:07,177
Speaker 1: anybody who's wondering, how could you say such a thing?

14
00:01:07,937 --> 00:01:11,777
Speaker 1: What is the purpose of Hamas? Exactly? It is to

15
00:01:11,897 --> 00:01:15,017
Speaker 1: kill all of the Jews in Israel such that they

16
00:01:15,057 --> 00:01:19,177
Speaker 1: can have their land that they say was theirs in

17
00:01:19,217 --> 00:01:21,337
Speaker 1: the first place. Is that really what this is about.

18
00:01:21,537 --> 00:01:23,737
Speaker 1: This is never going to happen. Israel has nuclear weapons,

19
00:01:23,777 --> 00:01:27,817
Speaker 1: there are almost seven million people who live there, and

20
00:01:27,937 --> 00:01:31,097
Speaker 1: it is an ally of countries like the United States

21
00:01:31,177 --> 00:01:34,457
Speaker 1: that are not going to allow for a genocide. So

22
00:01:34,537 --> 00:01:36,537
Speaker 1: what is the purpose of Hamas We come back to this.

23
00:01:36,617 --> 00:01:41,937
Speaker 1: It's not to govern, it's not to do the best

24
00:01:42,297 --> 00:01:44,737
Speaker 1: job that it can creating a better future for the

25
00:01:44,777 --> 00:01:49,337
Speaker 1: Palestidian people. No, in fact, it emserates them. It steals

26
00:01:49,737 --> 00:01:52,537
Speaker 1: from the international community, mostly because it has no real economy,

27
00:01:52,617 --> 00:01:55,377
Speaker 1: and Gaza doesn't have an economy to speak of. That

28
00:01:55,497 --> 00:01:58,937
Speaker 1: isn't essentially the charity of the rest of the world.

29
00:01:59,617 --> 00:02:02,777
Speaker 1: But Hamas has always been exactly what we have seen

30
00:02:03,457 --> 00:02:06,417
Speaker 1: on display, not just with these six executions and the

31
00:02:06,457 --> 00:02:12,577
Speaker 1: October seventh mass murder terror attack, but going back to

32
00:02:12,617 --> 00:02:17,097
Speaker 1: the Second Intifada, where Hamas was blowing up suicide bombers

33
00:02:17,257 --> 00:02:21,857
Speaker 1: in birthday parties full of kids and the elderly and pizzerias,

34
00:02:21,937 --> 00:02:25,937
Speaker 1: and they celebrate this. They don't say, oh, sorry, that

35
00:02:26,097 --> 00:02:29,537
Speaker 1: was a mistake. We didn't mean for that to happen.

36
00:02:29,617 --> 00:02:33,897
Speaker 1: And by the way, in the case of Israeli military strikes,

37
00:02:33,937 --> 00:02:38,737
Speaker 1: when there are collateral casualties, when they're civilian casualties that

38
00:02:38,777 --> 00:02:41,457
Speaker 1: are collateral damage, they really don't mean it, because if

39
00:02:41,457 --> 00:02:43,457
Speaker 1: they wanted to kill civilians, they could kill all of

40
00:02:43,457 --> 00:02:46,457
Speaker 1: the civilians in Gaza, all of them they don't want

41
00:02:46,497 --> 00:02:51,297
Speaker 1: to do that because they're acting under the laws of

42
00:02:51,457 --> 00:02:54,057
Speaker 1: war to the degree that they can. Nothing is perfect,

43
00:02:54,177 --> 00:02:57,497
Speaker 1: no war as hell is a truism for a reason.

44
00:02:58,857 --> 00:03:01,657
Speaker 1: But they have a right to defend themselves into fight back.

45
00:03:02,457 --> 00:03:04,897
Speaker 1: And I think that you've really just seen once again

46
00:03:05,097 --> 00:03:07,617
Speaker 1: as though there needs to be in a reminder what

47
00:03:07,697 --> 00:03:11,577
Speaker 1: the character of this terrorist group. Is Israel was closing in.

48
00:03:11,617 --> 00:03:15,737
Speaker 1: The Israeli military was closing in on these six hostages,

49
00:03:16,497 --> 00:03:20,897
Speaker 1: and they murdered them because because they just couldn't stand

50
00:03:21,017 --> 00:03:24,897
Speaker 1: the notion that these Israelis, that these Jews would make

51
00:03:24,937 --> 00:03:28,377
Speaker 1: it back to their families, they would rather murder them

52
00:03:28,377 --> 00:03:32,137
Speaker 1: than let them be rescued. There was no military value

53
00:03:32,177 --> 00:03:38,937
Speaker 1: in doing this. This was sheer, spite, vindictiveness, and that's

54
00:03:38,977 --> 00:03:42,257
Speaker 1: why we need to understand that Hamas is everybody as

55
00:03:42,297 --> 00:03:46,017
Speaker 1: evil as al Qaeda. Al Qaeda had claims against the

56
00:03:46,137 --> 00:03:48,657
Speaker 1: United States. I could go into specifics about bin Laden's

57
00:03:48,697 --> 00:03:52,097
Speaker 1: claims about the US being in Saudi Arabia and the

58
00:03:52,137 --> 00:03:54,657
Speaker 1: bases we had there, and of course our support for Israel,

59
00:03:55,057 --> 00:03:58,417
Speaker 1: the whole range of things. Everybody's got a claim for

60
00:03:58,497 --> 00:04:02,697
Speaker 1: their barbarism. Stalin had claims Hitler had claims Pole pot

61
00:04:03,217 --> 00:04:07,617
Speaker 1: Maw all the monsters, the monsters of the last one

62
00:04:07,697 --> 00:04:12,297
Speaker 1: hundred years and beyond, had some rationalization for what they're doing.

63
00:04:12,377 --> 00:04:15,577
Speaker 1: Of course Hamas has a rationalization, Oh we're oppressed, Oh

64
00:04:15,617 --> 00:04:20,257
Speaker 1: we lost our land. Move on. A lot of people

65
00:04:20,297 --> 00:04:22,537
Speaker 1: lose land, a lot of people lose wars and then

66
00:04:22,577 --> 00:04:26,817
Speaker 1: have to go somewhere else afterwards. But they refuse, they

67
00:04:26,857 --> 00:04:28,977
Speaker 1: refuse to accept that. First of all, the Jewish people

68
00:04:29,017 --> 00:04:32,257
Speaker 1: have been in Israel for thousands of years. This isn't

69
00:04:32,297 --> 00:04:37,097
Speaker 1: just some recent Balfour Declaration created phenomenon. But put that

70
00:04:37,177 --> 00:04:41,817
Speaker 1: aside for a moment. What is the end state that

71
00:04:41,897 --> 00:04:43,857
Speaker 1: Hamas really wants. It just wants the death of all

72
00:04:43,857 --> 00:04:48,937
Speaker 1: the Jews. They wouldn't be happy with a state. Look

73
00:04:48,937 --> 00:04:52,297
Speaker 1: at these these Middle Eastern kleptocracies. They're all run horribly.

74
00:04:52,897 --> 00:04:58,737
Speaker 1: They're totalitarian in character and often in function. So what

75
00:04:59,017 --> 00:05:02,297
Speaker 1: are we supposed to think that Hamas run government is

76
00:05:02,297 --> 00:05:05,697
Speaker 1: somehow going to be better and fine if only it

77
00:05:05,777 --> 00:05:10,697
Speaker 1: had more land. It's outrageous, it makes no sense. But really,

78
00:05:10,737 --> 00:05:13,697
Speaker 1: what Hamas is about is jew hatred and a death cult.

79
00:05:14,777 --> 00:05:16,737
Speaker 1: And this is why the people on the left in

80
00:05:16,777 --> 00:05:20,337
Speaker 1: this country, in America and around the world, who make

81
00:05:20,457 --> 00:05:24,537
Speaker 1: common cause with hamas or who support it, or even

82
00:05:24,697 --> 00:05:28,617
Speaker 1: just refuse to condemn it and play this both sides ism,

83
00:05:29,897 --> 00:05:33,457
Speaker 1: they are morally rotted. They have no understanding of what

84
00:05:33,537 --> 00:05:38,897
Speaker 1: is up and down. And unfortunately, in this country in particular,

85
00:05:38,977 --> 00:05:44,297
Speaker 1: it's a luxury belief to support hamas because they're not

86
00:05:44,337 --> 00:05:47,057
Speaker 1: going to go into your pizzeria if you're a college

87
00:05:47,097 --> 00:05:49,537
Speaker 1: student at GW or Yale or wherever, they're not going

88
00:05:49,577 --> 00:05:52,017
Speaker 1: to go into your pizzeria and blow you up. They

89
00:05:52,017 --> 00:05:54,617
Speaker 1: may do it to a bunch of Israelis, or they

90
00:05:54,617 --> 00:05:58,497
Speaker 1: may kidnap people who are at a concert and rape,

91
00:05:58,617 --> 00:06:00,977
Speaker 1: murder and mutilate them, but they're not going to do

92
00:06:01,057 --> 00:06:04,617
Speaker 1: that to you. The American left, so meaning you know,

93
00:06:04,657 --> 00:06:07,057
Speaker 1: the people that are doing that stuff or think that stuff,

94
00:06:07,817 --> 00:06:11,177
Speaker 1: and so they support because it makes them feel good

95
00:06:11,177 --> 00:06:13,897
Speaker 1: about themselves, because they think they think of hamas as

96
00:06:14,617 --> 00:06:18,737
Speaker 1: the fighting back entity of oppressed brown people. It's that

97
00:06:18,937 --> 00:06:22,657
Speaker 1: simplistic and that wrong, and that's really what pushes all

98
00:06:22,657 --> 00:06:29,377
Speaker 1: of this. Their identity, their identification with the victimized. But

99
00:06:29,457 --> 00:06:35,017
Speaker 1: Hamas are the great victimizers of the Palestinians. Although a

100
00:06:35,057 --> 00:06:36,697
Speaker 1: lot of them support Hamas, so they get what they

101
00:06:36,697 --> 00:06:39,937
Speaker 1: deserve with that entity. But and then of course of

102
00:06:39,977 --> 00:06:45,497
Speaker 1: the Israeli people as well, would this have happened under

103
00:06:46,057 --> 00:06:48,097
Speaker 1: Trump's watch? We are going to an election. I think

104
00:06:48,097 --> 00:06:53,217
Speaker 1: it's worth looking at that and discussing it. Because an

105
00:06:53,217 --> 00:06:56,417
Speaker 1: American citizen, I know, somebody with dual citizenship, but he

106
00:06:56,457 --> 00:06:59,777
Speaker 1: is an American citizen was just murdered by Hamas. What

107
00:06:59,817 --> 00:07:01,177
Speaker 1: are we going to do about it? What is Biden

108
00:07:01,217 --> 00:07:03,857
Speaker 1: going to do about it? Is he even the president anymore? Really,

109
00:07:04,937 --> 00:07:06,937
Speaker 1: we'll come back into this in a second. You know,

110
00:07:07,057 --> 00:07:09,017
Speaker 1: keeping you as informed as I can and giving the

111
00:07:09,057 --> 00:07:11,817
Speaker 1: best analysis possible is why I created podcasts like this.

112
00:07:12,497 --> 00:07:16,017
Speaker 1: That's why I'm actually going beyond even the podcasting format

113
00:07:16,017 --> 00:07:19,697
Speaker 1: with a newsletter. It's an email email that will come

131
00:08:16,177 --> 00:08:19,457
Speaker 1: happened if trumpets in office? I can tell you this.

132
00:08:19,497 --> 00:08:22,737
Speaker 1: Trump would have given a speech already and everybody would

133
00:08:22,777 --> 00:08:25,657
Speaker 1: know he meant it that if if any American is

134
00:08:25,737 --> 00:08:29,817
Speaker 1: killed by Hamas, we will treat Hamas as an enemy

135
00:08:29,817 --> 00:08:31,857
Speaker 1: combat in the same way we treated Isis and al

136
00:08:31,937 --> 00:08:34,497
Speaker 1: Qaida and others, which means not only will we help

137
00:08:34,497 --> 00:08:36,417
Speaker 1: the Israelis go after them, but will go after them

138
00:08:36,417 --> 00:08:39,737
Speaker 1: as we see fit. Remember Hamas leadership or in countries

139
00:08:39,737 --> 00:08:42,617
Speaker 1: in a whole bunch of places. It's not just in Gaza,

140
00:08:43,217 --> 00:08:47,257
Speaker 1: They're in the Gulf States, they travel elsewhere around the

141
00:08:47,257 --> 00:08:50,497
Speaker 1: Middle East, so we might just have to take some

142
00:08:50,577 --> 00:08:54,697
Speaker 1: of them out, take them off the battlefield. I think

143
00:08:54,697 --> 00:08:56,897
Speaker 1: Trump would have made that very clear. But we have

144
00:08:57,057 --> 00:09:02,537
Speaker 1: an administration that, remember, cares first and foremost more than

145
00:09:02,577 --> 00:09:05,337
Speaker 1: anything about staying in power here in America at home,

146
00:09:06,177 --> 00:09:09,097
Speaker 1: that means selling out any allies that they have to,

147
00:09:09,257 --> 00:09:11,417
Speaker 1: and sell out any principle. They simply don't care about

148
00:09:11,417 --> 00:09:15,137
Speaker 1: any of that. Power is their currency. Power is what

149
00:09:15,257 --> 00:09:18,857
Speaker 1: matters to them. And so this is why Biden and

150
00:09:18,937 --> 00:09:21,577
Speaker 1: Kamala to the gree Kamala's really involved in anything. It's

151
00:09:21,577 --> 00:09:26,897
Speaker 1: is ridiculous, have been playing this both sides game on

152
00:09:27,097 --> 00:09:29,737
Speaker 1: Israel and it's war with Hamas and try to hold

153
00:09:29,777 --> 00:09:33,577
Speaker 1: them back in Rafa. Remember this happened, these six hostages

154
00:09:33,617 --> 00:09:38,657
Speaker 1: were executed in Rafa, and they Biden and this White

155
00:09:38,657 --> 00:09:42,057
Speaker 1: House slowed down the IDF's efforts there, slowed it down

156
00:09:42,217 --> 00:09:47,937
Speaker 1: purposefully and threatened to withhold arms and assistance. Why are

157
00:09:47,977 --> 00:09:51,617
Speaker 1: we interfering in the oh because we're interfering in Israeli

158
00:09:51,657 --> 00:09:56,297
Speaker 1: military operations with our diplomacy and our soft power weapons

159
00:09:56,417 --> 00:10:00,217
Speaker 1: material l because Biden is worried that is going to

160
00:10:00,217 --> 00:10:02,697
Speaker 1: lose the votes of Muslims in Michigan who hate choose

161
00:10:02,737 --> 00:10:08,617
Speaker 1: in Israel. That's what it is. That's the truth. And

162
00:10:09,177 --> 00:10:11,537
Speaker 1: because there's also a contingent of a Democrat party that

163
00:10:11,617 --> 00:10:14,897
Speaker 1: is just looney left and hates Israel, which even includes

164
00:10:14,937 --> 00:10:17,857
Speaker 1: some American Jews, by the way, who are really secular,

165
00:10:18,097 --> 00:10:22,097
Speaker 1: non religious. They're communists. They're not actually in any meaningful

166
00:10:22,097 --> 00:10:26,497
Speaker 1: way Jewish, they're ethnically Jewish, but they're ideologically communists, and

167
00:10:26,497 --> 00:10:28,857
Speaker 1: they're of the left, and some of them hate Israel too.

168
00:10:28,977 --> 00:10:32,417
Speaker 1: But the ones who really hate Israel and the ones

169
00:10:32,417 --> 00:10:37,617
Speaker 1: who really hate the Jews are these Muslim radicals who

170
00:10:37,737 --> 00:10:42,097
Speaker 1: vote Democrat in this country. That's just the reality. And

171
00:10:42,137 --> 00:10:45,817
Speaker 1: this is why Biden and Kamala have been slowly but

172
00:10:45,937 --> 00:10:50,497
Speaker 1: surely selling out Israel on this issue. But I mean,

173
00:10:50,537 --> 00:10:58,097
Speaker 1: just think about this. Hamas took babies, babies and toddlers hostage.

174
00:10:58,817 --> 00:11:01,897
Speaker 1: You couldn't give if you gave an American service member

175
00:11:02,497 --> 00:11:08,297
Speaker 1: in order to go seize you know, one year olds

176
00:11:08,377 --> 00:11:11,657
Speaker 1: as hostages in a terror operation. We're gonna threaten to

177
00:11:11,737 --> 00:11:15,657
Speaker 1: murder them unless you get Nobody in our military would

178
00:11:15,657 --> 00:11:17,577
Speaker 1: do that. In fact, people in our military would take

179
00:11:17,657 --> 00:11:20,457
Speaker 1: up arms against the person who would give such an

180
00:11:20,617 --> 00:11:23,057
Speaker 1: order as an unlawful order. There's absolutely no way that

181
00:11:23,057 --> 00:11:27,657
Speaker 1: would ever happen, because the American people are a good people.

182
00:11:28,217 --> 00:11:33,017
Speaker 1: Are the Palestinian people of Gaza, A lot of them

183
00:11:33,017 --> 00:11:36,257
Speaker 1: are not? Are most of them good people? I don't

184
00:11:36,257 --> 00:11:42,737
Speaker 1: know some of them. I mean Hamas. They they deserve

185
00:11:42,777 --> 00:11:44,777
Speaker 1: to be treated as enemy combatants on the battlefield, and

186
00:11:44,817 --> 00:11:50,177
Speaker 1: Hamas deserves to have its fighters killed the same way

187
00:11:50,217 --> 00:11:51,857
Speaker 1: that al Qaida did. I don't see how this is

188
00:11:51,897 --> 00:11:55,177
Speaker 1: any different at all. I mean, if we view the

189
00:11:55,457 --> 00:11:59,857
Speaker 1: US as having a moral right to go after al

190
00:11:59,937 --> 00:12:04,057
Speaker 1: Qaeda for attacking us and killing people with drones, with

191
00:12:05,177 --> 00:12:08,417
Speaker 1: surgical strikes, with whatever we had to and rolling in

192
00:12:08,457 --> 00:12:10,657
Speaker 1: a striker brigade and lightening them up with fifty cows

193
00:12:10,657 --> 00:12:13,297
Speaker 1: on the streets of Mosul or Baghdad or wherever however

194
00:12:13,337 --> 00:12:15,137
Speaker 1: we had to take out the bad guys, we did it,

195
00:12:16,897 --> 00:12:20,737
Speaker 1: and Israel has that same right. So I'm just sorry

196
00:12:20,737 --> 00:12:24,897
Speaker 1: that they've been stabbed in the back by the Democrat

197
00:12:24,977 --> 00:12:27,177
Speaker 1: Party in this country. But that's what the Democrat Party is.

198
00:12:27,737 --> 00:12:31,537
Speaker 1: Shouldn't be surprising to anybody, you know. I was just

199
00:12:31,577 --> 00:12:34,857
Speaker 1: speaking about some of our war on terror, and far

200
00:12:34,897 --> 00:12:37,897
Speaker 1: too many veterans who have served our country honorably are

201
00:12:37,897 --> 00:12:40,217
Speaker 1: now homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, and Glenda

202
00:12:40,257 --> 00:12:42,817
Speaker 1: Williams is one of them. Glenda's a US Army veteran

203
00:12:42,857 --> 00:12:45,057
Speaker 1: who faced homelessness along with her five children. She was

204
00:12:45,057 --> 00:12:47,497
Speaker 1: struggling to keep up with rent and basic living expenses.

205
00:12:47,817 --> 00:12:52,497
Speaker 1: She's in a dilapidated home with rodents, broken windows. It

206
00:12:52,537 --> 00:12:56,057
Speaker 1: was a mess. And then the Taulta Towers Foundation Homeless

207
00:12:56,137 --> 00:12:59,737
Speaker 1: Veteran Program came in and provided Glenda not just with shelter,

208
00:12:59,857 --> 00:13:02,057
Speaker 1: but a safe and secure environment where she and her

209
00:13:02,137 --> 00:13:05,257
Speaker 1: children could thrive. She has since returned to school, she's

210
00:13:05,297 --> 00:13:08,857
Speaker 1: pursuing a degree and her children are excelling. Imagine what

211
00:13:08,897 --> 00:13:10,937
Speaker 1: this means to a veteran like Glinda to know that

212
00:13:10,977 --> 00:13:13,417
Speaker 1: people like you were there for her when she needed

213
00:13:13,417 --> 00:13:17,097
Speaker 1: help after she had served her country. This is where

214
00:13:17,097 --> 00:13:19,257
Speaker 1: Tunnel the Towers is so amazing, and this is where

215
00:13:19,297 --> 00:13:23,017
Speaker 1: you come in support Tunnel to Towers. Donate eleven dollars

216
00:13:23,057 --> 00:13:25,057
Speaker 1: a month the Tunnel to Towers at T two t

217
00:13:25,297 --> 00:13:28,697
Speaker 1: dot org. That's t the number two T dot org.

218
00:13:29,657 --> 00:13:33,457
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna have more on the foreign policy

219
00:13:33,497 --> 00:13:36,777
Speaker 1: failings of Biden and Kamala later this week. But just

220
00:13:36,817 --> 00:13:38,897
Speaker 1: remember in this fight against Hamas it is a good

221
00:13:38,977 --> 00:13:44,097
Speaker 1: versus evil choice that is being made here and we

222
00:13:44,137 --> 00:13:47,217
Speaker 1: stand with the righteous shields high
