your support. Show a moment of silence today for all
of the leftists and ge Hottists and Ghatti adjacent people
who are very, very sad that peace has broken out
in Gaza. I mean, aside from Hamas murdering Palestinians now,
but aside from that, and the hostages returned, and worst
of all, Donald Trump at the center of it, brokering
the d that made this all happen. So the first
twenty hostages, living hostages that the terrorists have been holding
for over two years, they were returned today. I did
not think Hamas would do it, because don't trust a terrorist,
so they did return them. The twenty living ones, the
twenty eight dead ones, those have not been returned, which
is a violation of the deal. Hamas says that they're
trying to locate the remains of I think twenty four
of the twenty eight victims. By the way, all of
the twenty released men all men. Not a single woman survived.
We may find out the reason for that. If I
had to guess them being jihadi terrorists and all I
would guess they murdered the women so the women could
not talk about what they were subjected to while in
captivity for two years. Just a guess. This is from
the Times of Israel. Israel joined the families in celebration
today as Hamas released the twenty remaining living hostages under
the Gaza ceasefire deal, broker by the US President Donald Trump,
who came to Israel to mark the event. Hamas has
yet to release the remains of twenty eight dead hostages,
despite being required to do so under the deal. That
would bring some closure to the national trauma that began
when the terror group took two hundred and fifty one
hostages back to Gaza after massacring some twelve hundred people.
On October seventh, twenty twenty three, The first seven living
hostages were handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza
City in the strips north. That happened at about eight am.
They were then transferred to Israeli forces inside Gaza about
an hour later. That was the first seven. By the way,
I believe that's the first time that the International Red
Cross ever laid eyes on the hostages, which I think
is to their eternal shame as an organization. They never
they never did what they always do, which is let
us go in and see them, let us go in
and check on them. Never happen. The next thirteen were
handed over to the Red Cross in Conunis, that's in
the south of the Gaza strip. That occurred shortly before
eleven am, and then they were transferred to Israeli forces
inside Gaza about an hour later. All twenty of the
returned hostages appeared pale and frail, emaciated, but they were
smiling and standing on their legs, with most of them
held in horrific conditions and tunnels deep under Gaza where
many faced abuse, starvation and received limited medical treatment. One
of the hostages that was freed earlier like before today
and not part of this deal, he said that they
were fed one peta a day, so one piece of
bread a day, and reportedly the Red Cross told Hamas,
do not overfeed the hostages before you turn them over.
They had to tell Hamas not to give them a
bunch of food right before they turn them over, because
it could literally kill them. When you have starved people
for two years and then you give them a bunch
of food, it can kill them. So Donald Trump went
over to Israel, as I mentioned he was there this morning.
I watched his speech at the Kanesset, which is the
Israeli parliament, a bunch of speakers, I mean he was.
He was greeted as a hero. Trump was, as were
the negotiating team, Steve Whitkoff, Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner. I
mean they the Israelis were just exuberant, which is weird
for people that were trying to commit genocide to have
been thwarted now in their genocidal plans. It's very weird
that they would be celebrating a ceasefire in the return
of hostages in the end of award. It's just odd
if genocide were their goals. We may never know the reason.
Benjamin Danyahu spoke at the Kannesset as well and thanked
Donald Trump for his efforts.
Speaker 2: I believe that the close cooperation between the two of us,
between our two nations, combining Israel's military pressure and President
Trump's unmatched global leadership. I have to tell you, I've
seen a lot of American presidents, seen them all in
the time that I've been here, and I've been here
quite a lot of time. I've never seen anyone move
the world so quickly, so decisively, so resolutely as our
friend President Donald J.
Speaker 1: Trump. That was a standing ovation that Trump received there
from the Knesset. And you may think, Peeg, you're being
a little harsh on the leftists and the tend to
fod a crowd, the Hamas Holais that have been protesting
for ceasefire and so adam in opposed to genocide. I
pointed this out last week when when this thing became
agreed to deal, you notice that all of the people
that have been clamoring for a ceasefire, they all disappeared,
if not outright like rejecting, saying Hamas should not take
the deal. Oh my gosh, this is terrible. It's all
for Israel and all this. I went over the details, right,
I went over the pros and cons that each side
was getting as part of the deal. But all this,
and I pointed this out last week that these people
who were clamoring for ceasefires so vociferously now have lost
their issue and they went radio silent, which tells you
one thing is that they didn't really care about a ceasefire.
It was a narrative. It was something that they were saying.
I also pointed out last week, I do not believe
this is the end of the war. I will believe
it when I see it, because I do not trust terrorists,
and especially you know, those who have it in their
ideological doctrine that they're allowed to lie, they're allowed to
enter cease fires in order to regroup so they can
then continue on the jihad. So I'll believe this takes
hold when I see it. Now that being said, I
am really encouraged, like I want to be optimistic about
what we are seeing develop here, and it is possible.
But as for the leftists who have aligned themselves with
the jihattists on this issue, here's a good example. There's
a news aggregator website that I will check out every day.
It's called Memorandom, and it's of the left. And so
I look at what stories they're promoting, and there isn't any.
There's not a single story on their page here about
the return of the hostages. It's about Clarence Thomas, former
clerk to Clarence Thomas with some bombshell accusation Democrats and
the shutdown and then Trump urging a pardon for Nantan
Yahoo during that address to the Kanessean twenty people survive
two years in captivity by these animals in Gaza and
they have now returned home. And the videos of the
reunions are heartbreaking and amazing. Heartbreaking because of what they
were subjected to, but also because I know that there
are so many others that aren't going to have that moment.
They're not going to have that moment more actually, of
the final hostages, families will not have that moment. They'll
be getting the remains of their loved ones. You know,

on c Span to see if they've got a feed
of this piece summit that's going on in shermel Shake, Egypt,
which is a very fun place to say, like the
name of that is a a fun word to say, Charmeles.
I like it. They are over there now because Trump
had nothing to do with the peace deal at all,
and that's apparently what a majority of Democrats believe. According
to a you gov poll just released, a majority of
Democrats believe Trump played no role or a minor role
at most in this hostage deal. So they're not they're
not going to give him any credit whatsoever for this
deal at all. He's over there, he's talking to the
hostage families. He uh spoke at the Kanesset. They organized
this Middle East peace summit. This is from Politico. US
President Donald Trump and his Egyptian counterpart abdel Fatah el
Sissy will coach it. The peace summit taking place in
Charmel Shaikh, Egypt. European leaders including France's Emmanuel Macron, the
UK's two tier Kars Starmer, Germany's Friedrich Mertz, Italy's Georgia
Maloney and Spain's Pedro Sanchez, along with Turkey Turquias. I
forget how they pronounce it. Now Ertawan, They're all going
to attend the summit. It was funny too. I saw
like the Irish leaders were like, hey, we didn't get
an invite. What's up? Hmm yeah, now no, In fact,
I don't even I saw some member of ker Starmer's government.
I think she's like the education minister or something was
trying to claim some bit of credit for like, yeah,
we helped do this hostage deal as well, and then
like the Israelis came out and said, you had nothing
to do with this. In fact, you hurt our chances
by coming out and endorsing a Palestinian state, which prompted
Hamas to walk away from one of the earlier rounds
of negotiations. Look, we are where we are because of
the actions that were taken. You may not have agreed
with those actions. Like, people were very upset about Israel
striking into Kutter, and people were like, oh my gosh,
I can't believe that they tried to take out Hamas's
leadership in Cutter or Qatar. But they did and they failed. Obviously,
they failed to take out any Hamas Holays, but they
did kill a Katari military member and Qatar was very
upset about that. And so Trump got Nantan Yahu to
apologize for that, and that was what the Qataris wanted.
And among other things, they all want to preserve a
relationship with the Trump administration that part of the world
recognizes power. They put a premium on it. Trump understands
that Trump wants a deal. He doesn't really care about
the historical roots of all the problems, and so you
get like a guy like Steve Whitkoff that has been
just abused in the domestic press, but apparently what he
did worked. And you may not like Steve Whitcoff, and
you may not like Donald Trump, and you may not
like all of the ways that they went about these
negotiations and all of the things that they said, but
it seems to have worked. And so it's kind of
hard to argue with the results. You know, at Patriot
Girl on Twitter, it's a Pete tweet says, I'm with you.
I don't trust Hamas, especially when they are already storming
the streets in God in full uniform, torturing the Palestinian
people who opposed them. Yeah, that's a yeah, yeah, that's
a problem for the the people who have been standing
for for Hamas. But you know, pretending it's all about
the Palestinians and that's really what they care about. Palestinians
are being slaughtered right now by Hamas, much like after
the Iraq War, where General Schwartzkof allowed Saddam Hussein to
keep his helicopters and keep flying his helicopters which were
then used to just mow down Iraqis and take out
all of his political opponents and stuff. So yeah, you've
got these clans that are battling inside of Gaza and Hamas,
which according to this peace deal, which is why I'm
not terribly confident that the deal is going to hold.
It's because the deal requires Hamas to go away, and
their actions so far this weekend indicate they are not right.
They've been murdering people, exacting revenge on people, accusing everybody
of being, you know, collaborators with Israel and all this.
It's kind of what they do. It's kind of their jam.
That's how they rule Gaza, and they've got a support
base of somewhere around a million people. So people rat
out their neighbors and make false accusations against their neighbors,
and then Hamas comes and brutally murders them in the streets.
And there are some videos that have gotten out showing this.
So you're not going to have a free Palestinian people
as long as Hamas remains. Here's a great idea, how
about making an escape to a really special and secluded

States appearing at the canness It the Parliament for Israel
today before he flew over to Egypt for this peace
summit in Shermolshak with all of these Middle Eastern countries.
A couple of European leaders tagged along as if they
had anything to do with anything, which is, you know,
reminded me of the old axiom success success has many parents,
but failure is always an orphan, right, So now all
of a sudden, everybody wants to claim that, you know,
what they did mattered and brought this peace deal to fruition.
We'll see how it unfolds. This is just the first step.
But all twenty of the remaining living hostages have been
released back into Israel. They're all back home. Twenty eight
dead hostages remain in Gaza. There's going to be, you know,
some sort of an international recovery effort that has led
there by, like predominantly the Arab countries and such, so
we'll see how that goes. But they were supposed to
have turned over the remains today as well, and so
this has got some of the families of those hostages
saying that Hamas has broken the terms of the deal already.
Benjamin and Yahoo, speaking at the Kanesset, vowed to continue
marching with you to President Trump, he was speaking to
keep marching with you on the path paved by the
Abraham Accords from Trump's first term.
Speaker 2: Under your leadership, we can forge new peace treaties with
Arab countries in the region and Muslim countries beyond the region.
Abraham's children will work together to build a better future,
a future that will unite civilization against barbarism, light against darkness,
and hope against despair. And my friends, I believe that
with President Trump's leadership, this will happen a lot faster
than people think. As Prime Minister of Visuel, I extend
my hand to hold those who seek peace with us.
No one wants peace more than the people of Israel.
Israel will always remain vigilant in defending itself, and Israel
will always remain full of hope. Hope is our national hanthem,
Hope is our creed, Hope is our strength. It is time,
my friends, to realize that hope and expand the circle
of peace. Mister President, thank you for all you have
done for us. I've submitted your nomination to be the
first non Israeli recipient of the Israel Prize, Israel's highest award.
As to that other prize, just a question of time
you'll get it, but I want you to get the
Israel Prize, our highest award to our greatest friends.
Speaker 1: So you heard what he said at the beginning there
that he believes that the pathway to peace agreements and
trade deals and such with other Muslim nations. He expects
it to happen faster than most people would think. There
was a tweet earlier today by Amjad Taha, who is
an Emeraldi expert in strategic and political affairs, author and
analyst and researcher, and he said, sources are telling me
that in Indonesia, the world's largest must nation, is on
the path to joining the Abraham Accords. Tomorrow, its leader
will arrive in Israel to deliver a historic speech. A
nation with more Muslims than all Arab countries combined is
now choosing peace over prejudice. That's what he wrote. Amit Sigal,
chief political analyst for Channel twelve news author of It's
Noon in Israel newsletter. He puts out this newsletter. He said,
the significance of this event is that the whole world,
especially Israel's enemies, sees a joint victory celebration by the
United States and Israel. And I think he's right there.
Trump when he spoke, he credited Anton, Yahoo, as well
as the Arab and Muslim nations for their help in
securing this deal.
Speaker 3: And after so many years of unceasing war and endlest danger,
today the sky's are calm, the guns are silent, the
sirens are still, and the sun rises on a holy
land that is finally at peace, a land and a
region that will live God willing in peace for all eternity.
Speaker 1: Which is a long time. I mean, to be.
Speaker 3: Fair, this is not only the end of a war.
This is the end of a age of terror and
death and the beginning of the age of faith and hope,
end of God. It's the start of a grand concord
and lasting harmony for Israel and all the nations of
what will soon be a truly magnificent region. I believe
that so strongly. This is the historic dawn of a
new Middle East.
Speaker 1: Right, and he's got people to buy into for various reasons,
right with side deals with these governments and royal monarchs
and such, but also with the projection of power and strength,
the fact that like he's still there with Israel, and
you know, if you're gonna go at Israel, you're going
at us too, kind of a thing. So that kind
of a message has been received now. Kurt Schlichter, retired colonel,
writing a town hall dot com says, there's a lot
of rejoicing among normal people around the world about the
peace deal in Gaza, but the Palestinian terrorist huggers are heartbroken,
and of course they should be. This isn't really a
peace deal. This is an utter capitulation, a total surrender
by the losers of Hamas who have been who have
completely and utterly failed. They started a war and got
their asses kicked yet again. Their fight from the sewers,
where they hid behind women and children were not an
example of brave resistance, as they steadfastly endured victimhood. Every
single misery that the Palestinians have suffered over the last
two years was utterly deserved, in fact, deserved much much worse.
That's why My beef with Israel is that it has
been far too kind because of the unique aspects of
Israeli politics and culture. Because Joe Biden's puppet masters refused
the total support America should have given, this absolutely necessary
war is dragged on unnecessarily for two years. If I
were in charge, this would have been over in November
of twenty three, and the semi human savages who started
the war would use my name to scare children for
the next one hundred generations. So that's a different take.
That's a different take, But he points out he's not
in charge. I'm not in charge, nor are you. So
when I was a kid, my grandpa died with Alzheimer's,
and before he died, my mom and my dad took
care of him as he got worse. Forty years ago,
there were no treatments and not much support for caregivers
and family. But things are different today because of the
work of so many people, including the Alzheimer's Association of
Western Carolina. It's a great organization and with awesome people
with huge hearts. I've been a supporter for twenty five years.
This cause means a lot to me. I participate in
the annual walk to end Alzheimer's and I'm leading a
Charlotte team again this year and it's called once again
Pete's Pack. You can sign up and you can join
the team and walk with us. It's on October eighteenth
that truest field. Sign up at alz dot org slash
Walk and then you can search for my team name Petespac.
There's also a link at thepetepod dot com. There's also
a link in the description of this podcast. Also, I'll
be am seeing the Gastonia Walk on October eleventh, and
so you can make a team and join that one too,
or make a donation and help me hit my goal
of five thousand dollars. If you do, I really appreciate it.
There are a bunch of other walks all over the Carolinas.
You can go to alz dot org slash walk for
all the dates and locations. We're closer than ever to
stopping Alzheimer's. Can you help us get there? Will you
walk with me? For a different future, for families, for
more time for treatments. This is why we walk, all right?
So retired Colonel Kirch Schlichter at town hall dot com.
He's also the author of like a billion books or something,
and he's sort of the he's the hard edge of
these military types of topics. He points out that, you know,
he has opinions on the way Israel should have conducted
this war, but he's not in charge. You are not
in charge. I'm not in charge. None of us are,
except the Palestinians and the Israelis. Right, it's those in
charge who get to make the choices and bear the consequences.
The Palestinians got here because they chose to continue a
war that they have been losing since nineteen forty eight.
The Israelis got here because they chose not to allow
themselves to be murdered by the people who have been
trying to kill them since nineteen forty eight. He says,
but I'm not interested in the history, not anymore. There's
a time to argue, and there's a time to fight,
and this is the time to fight. He then goes
on to say later in this piece that and this
is what I have said after October seventh. This is
what I said. I continue to believe it to be
the case because it's a belief that I had before
October seventh, which is the owner of the land is
the guy who you can't knock off it. That's how
history works. On this Columbus day. It is something to
keep in mind. You may not like it. I may
not like it, right, Oh that's not fair, but that
is how historically, that is how land ownership has worked.
In fact, Israel's got a little bit of a different
deal in the fact that they actually got a treaty,
They got like, you know, people to work it out
with dialogue. And then of course they were attacked. But
here's the thing, none of that matters. And the Hamas
holes and the Tenttifada, the leftists, the useful idiots. They
don't care about the history. This idea that, oh the
Jews just showed up after World War II, that's not true,
never has been. I whent in detail about the Hebron
massacre that occurred in like the twenties. Okay, Jews were
always second class citizens. In fact, every non Muslim is
a second class citizen in the areas controlled by Muslims.
So they were subjected to pilgrims and all sorts of abuses.
They could not own land and such. But the history
doesn't matter. They don't care. History is just another weapon
for them in their quest for actual genocide by collision,
akoffs and flotillas of moronic Westerners and suicide bombers. That
it's all a lie doesn't matter to them in the least.
The real weapon of Hamas is the suffering of their
own people. With that suffering and it's you know, video
recordings and documentation, both real and fraudulent, they hope to
leverage the humanity of Westerners to get them to choose
suicide rather than righteous resistance to Jihati savagery. Right, this
is suicidal empathy. That's what they use against us. That's
the pr campaign. It doesn't just work on millions of
morally illiterate leftists and ridiculous idiots on the right either.
It even works on some Israelis.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: There has been a thing. I've talked about this for
twenty years. Pallywood is what it's called. It's this little
industry that they've got of manufacturing victimization videos. And when
you see the raw footage that eventually leaks out, you
see that no, that person being manhandled and tossed into
a van after some quote unquote attack that they blame
on Israel, they weren't actually injured at all, they get
out of the van. It's like the videos you see
of the people who are like scratching their nose while
while lying under a tarp, as if they were dead bodies,
and then you see them move and you see them
scratch their face and stuff. Or it's like the emaciated
child on the front page of the New York Times
who actually was suffering from cerebral palsy or cystic fibrosis. Rather, so,
this is all part of the pr effort, and it
worked on a lot of people. It has worked on
a lot of people, you know who it doesn't really
work on though. The leaders of the Muslim and Arab nations,
they know what's going on. They understand. They have used
the Palestinian issue for their own aims for decades. They
know what's real and what's not. And what's real is
that Israel and I was not going anywhere, and the
American support of Israel doesn't appear to be going anywhere.
And you've got a president with Donald Trump, who recognizes
the language that is spoken in that part of the world,
and he says, I don't care you guys, What did
he say? Remember where he cust them? All that, and
he's like, they've been fighting for so long they don't
know what the bleep they're fighting over anymore. And so
here's your off ramp. And it appears, at least according
to the video coming out of Charmel Shake Egypt, it
appears a lot of those Arab and Muslim leaders are
taking the off ramp. All right, that'll do it for
this episode. Thank you so much for listening. I could
