Hello everybody, I'm John Foster with this Great America Show midday update for Monday, October 13th.
00:00:04.940
Happy Columbus Day, folks. That's right. It's called Columbus Day again.
00:00:09.060
President Donald Trump cheering Israeli lawmakers the long, painful nightmare is finally over
00:00:14.500
after helping broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and Gaza.
00:00:19.040
During the first address since the U.S. president since 2008,
00:00:24.360
moment that everything began to change and change very much for the better in the Middle East.
00:00:29.260
President Trump's address to the Israeli parliament comes on the day that the last 20 living hostages
00:00:34.180
held in the Palestinian enclave were released by Hamas.
00:00:37.780
Israel is releasing 250 Palestinian prisoners and more than 1,700 other Palestinian
00:00:42.520
detained during the two-year military operation in Gaza.
00:00:46.960
During a whirlwind trip to the region, Trump is also attending the peace summit
00:00:50.440
in Egypt alongside Egyptian president and other world leaders.
00:00:55.000
After President Trump touched down in Egypt, he said the second phase of negotiations
00:00:58.880
on a peace agreement were underway. Take a listen to President Trump absolutely
00:01:03.920
roasting the Biden administration during his historic peace summit in Egypt. Here he is.
00:01:09.800
We're going to get a lot of people joining the Abraham Accords. We have the four great
00:01:13.640
nations that did it early on and they stayed with it. And then you had the Biden administration,
00:01:19.520
which is the worst administration in the history of our country. And obviously,
00:01:23.540
they did nothing on that and anything else. And so it stayed at four. And now a lot of people,
00:01:29.380
even today, they're talking about all joining up. So, so many people have talked to me about that.
00:01:34.500
And it's going to be a great tribute to really the United States. I mean, the United States has worked
00:01:40.260
very hard in the Middle East. So it would be a tribute to us and to Jared and to Steve and to all of the
00:01:46.120
people, Marco, all of the people that have worked so hard on that.
00:01:48.920
And it really is going to bring, it's going to guarantee that it all stays together.
00:01:54.020
Now, on the plane ride in, President Trump also went after Anthony Blinken,
00:01:57.900
former Secretary of State, who's been on Twitter talking badly about President Trump,
00:02:03.120
talking about how what President Trump is doing is just a continuation of the Biden regime.
00:02:08.040
We all know that's the furthest thing from the truth. Take a listen to President Trump
00:02:11.660
absolutely leveling Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken.
00:02:14.300
Some of the top Biden administration folks who were there, like Anthony Blinken,
00:02:19.720
seem to want some credit for the peace deal. Blinken says it's good that President Trump
00:02:24.360
adopted and built on the plan that the Biden administration developed. What do you think
00:02:31.160
Everybody knows it's a joke. They didn't do it. They did such a bad job. This should have never
00:02:35.980
happened. This wouldn't have even happened. That was weak leadership, terrible. And the same
00:02:41.000
thing with Russia, Russia, Ukraine. If a just a decent president, not a great president like
00:02:49.200
me, not a great president. If a decent president was in, you wouldn't have had the Russia, Ukraine.
00:02:55.140
And this is, I would say, even more so. This was bad policy by Biden and by Obama. Remember when
00:03:02.820
BB came and he begged that you not do what they were doing with Iran? You remember that, right?
00:03:07.700
They begged him and they wouldn't even listen to him. Everything they did was the opposite
00:03:12.380
of what you should have done. And it's nice that they try and take a little credit. That
00:03:16.700
was years ago and the mistakes were made years ago. And it was both by Biden and Obama.
00:03:23.180
And so what did you do so differently? Because I know a lot of it was behind the scenes. So
00:03:29.520
what did you do so much differently than Joe Biden? And to end the war, I resonated with
00:03:36.000
the Arab leaders, the Muslim leaders and the Jewish leaders. For whatever reason, you tell
00:03:41.660
me why, you know, he said that in my first news conference, I answered more questions of
00:03:48.140
him than Biden did in four years. And I think that's pretty close to being true.
00:03:52.300
There were no Pinocchios in the fact check. That's right. That's right.
00:03:56.900
President Trump's peace plan in the Middle East has also got some Democrats giving President
00:04:02.100
Trump the credit that he's due, like Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona. Take a listen. This must
00:04:07.880
melt their minds to have to give credit where credit is due, like they haven't done for the
00:04:12.960
last 10 years under President Trump. Take a listen.
00:04:15.560
How much credit does President Trump deserve for this deal?
00:04:18.480
I think he should get a lot of credit. I mean, this was his deal. He he worked this out. He sent
00:04:25.020
Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, you know, over to negotiate this. And it's so far has done well.
00:04:32.200
Hopefully the hostages get released here might not be within 24 hours, but certainly I think by
00:04:36.440
by Monday. And that's that's progress from the Marxist down senator Mark Kelly to your ears, folks.
00:04:44.260
President Trump deserves the credit. I wish more Democrats would be like him and come
00:04:48.300
out and give credit where credit is due. Folks, please be sure to join us tonight at 6 p.m.
