About this episode

BREAKING NEWS: 7 of the 20 October 7 hostages RELEASED!

  • Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson praise Trump’s leadership, portraying him as uniquely capable of achieving peace through strength.

  • They contrast this with Biden’s and Obama’s foreign policy, which they characterize as weak and enabling of terrorism.

  • The Red Cross is facilitating the transfer of hostages held underground in Gaza for over two years.

  • The first seven hostages have been handed over, with the full release expected by noon (Israel time).

  • In exchange, Israel is releasing about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including:

    • 250 serving long sentences,

    • 1,700 detained during the conflict, and

    • The remains of 28 deceased hostages.

  • Endorsements & Reactions

    • The podcast includes audio clips & quotes from Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Benjamin Netanyahu, Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff.

    • Clinton is depicted as praising Trump’s deal (a rare bipartisan gesture), while Obama’s response is described as “classless” for not naming Trump.

  • Foreign Policy Narrative

    • Trump’s bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities and his “peace through strength” doctrine are credited for pressuring Hamas into negotiations.

    • The Biden administration is blamed for previous instability, alleged funding to Iran, and a weak stance toward Israel.

  • Government Shutdown Continues:
  • U.S. government shutdown goes on, the “Schumer shutdown”, as Democrats keep prolonging it. When will it end? We discuss it.

  • Closing Remarks – The episode ends with Cruz offering religious gratitude (“Praise God”) and both hosts congratulating Trump, Netanyahu, and Israel.
