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.
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.

🕊️ 1. The “Trump Gaza Peace Deal” Narrative
The first two-thirds of the podcast revolve around a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas, brokered by former President Donald Trump.
Ben describes this as a “historic peace deal” ending a two-year war in Gaza, involving multiple nations (Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc.), and resulting in the release of hostages and withdrawal of Israeli troops.
We repeatedly emphasizes that mainstream (“corporate”) media—including CNN anchors like Anderson Cooper and Abby Phillip—are praising Trump for achieving peace where previous presidents failed.
The tone is celebratory, nationalistic, and highly complimentary toward Trump, portraying him as a decisive leader whose “peace through strength” approach succeeded after others (notably Joe Biden) failed.
It references public celebrations, calls for Trump to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and widespread international cooperation allegedly under his leadership.
🇮🇱 Section 2: The Hamas–Israel Peace Deal
Reports claim that Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and peace plan led by Donald Trump, to be signed in Egypt.
Trump is quoted describing the deal as a “historic and everlasting peace”, involving the release of all Israeli hostages taken during the October 7, 2023 attacks, and Israeli troop withdrawals from Gaza.
The document portrays this as a major diplomatic breakthrough, crediting Trump for uniting Arab and Muslim nations behind the plan.
Family members of hostages are included in a recorded phone call, expressing emotional gratitude toward Trump, reinforcing his image as a “peacemaker.”
🕊️ Section 3: Trump’s Broader Vision
Trump discusses creating a “Council of Peace” to rebuild Gaza with financial help from wealthy Arab nations.
He also ties the Middle East peace process to his domestic policy agenda, emphasizing law and order, crime reduction, and urban renewal in U.S. cities like Washington, D.C.
Ben praises these efforts and portrays Trump’s leadership as transformative both internationally and domestically.
⚖️ Sectio
The FBI performed a “toll analysis” (a term for examining phone call records and metadata) on eight Republican senators and one congressman.
This was supposedly part of a secretive investigation codenamed “Arctic Frost”.
The surveillance allegedly occurred after Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago raid and during Jack Smith’s investigation into Trump and the January 6th events.
The senators targeted include:
Lindsey Graham, Bill Haggerty, Josh Hawley, Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Cynthia Lummis, and Marsha Blackburn — with Representative Mike Kelly also mentioned.
An introductory narrator asserting the FBI’s wrongdoing.
Quoted remarks from Senators Ron Johnson, Chuck Grassley, Bill Haggerty, and others, condemning the alleged surveillance.
Repeated claims that this represents “weaponization of government” and “political persecution.”
Statements linking this case to prior alleged abuses under the Obama administration and investigations into Trump.
🧩 2. Government “Weaponization” and Political Retaliation
The first section describes a Senate hearing involving:
Attorney General Pam Bondi testifying before the Senate.
Senator Josh Hawley accusing the Biden administration, the DOJ, and the FBI of “weaponizing” federal agencies against Republicans.
Claims include:
FBI phone tapping of Republican senators (e.g., Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn).
Surveillance of conservative organizations such as Turning Point USA.
Targeting of Catholics, parents at school board meetings, and pro-life activists.
Bondi asserts that “weaponization under Donald Trump has ended,” suggesting this scene takes place under a new Trump administration that is “restoring justice.”

Repeated claims that this represents “weaponization of government” and “political persecution.”
Statements linking this case to prior alleged abuses under the Obama administration and investigations into Trump.
Story 2 – “FBI Abuse and Cover-Up”
FBI Director Kash Patel has fired agents involved in tracking phone calls of eight Republican senators and one congressman during a supposed investigation led by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
It describes a hidden vault of subpoenaed communication records, suggesting a deliberate cover-up under the previous administration’s Department of Justice.
The text portrays Patel as a whistleblower uncovering “deep state” corruption and restoring transparency.
Senator Josh Hawley is quoted condemning the investigation as an abuse of power “beyond Watergate”, calling for a special counsel.
The narrative concludes that the FBI and DOJ were weaponized against political opponents and that new leadership is “unsealing the vault” to expose them.

The conversation characterizes this as leftist judicial bias and calls for her impeachment.
Senator Cruz says this demonstrates dangerous partisanship and failure to protect the rule of law.
