every forty eight of the hostages, whom thank you so much.
God bless it be the peacemaker. God bless you're.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Good Thursday morning.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
We've got one big story for you on the forty
seven Morning Update, and it is this a historic piece
agreement Hamas agreeing to a ceasefire in Gaza and the
release of all the hostages. We're gonna have all the
details for you on that in just a moment. But
first I want to tell you about Patriot Mobile. If
you have a cell phone, then why have you not
(00:38):
switched to Patriot Mobile? Now let me tell you why
I think you should switch, because not only are you
giving your money to a company that's aligned with your values,
but you get unbelievable pricing and nationwide coverage on all
three major networks. That means that you're gonna love what
the coverage is and you're gonna love the price. Now
(01:00):
here's where the magic happens. If you're like me and
you're sick and tired of giving your mond to woke companies,
then Welsh Big Mobile you need to stop giving your
money to them because they're giving massive donations democratic causes,
candidates and organizations. I'm talking about radical organizations, including organizations
that advocate, support and pay for abortions. That is why
(01:22):
I switch to Patriot Mobile because every month when I
pay my bill, they take about five percent of my
bill and they give it back to conservative causes that
stand for our First and our Second Amendment rights. They
stand up for the rights of unborn children. They stand
with our military, our veterans are wounded warriors, and that's
just some of what they do. So stand with me
(01:44):
and literally hundreds of thousands of other conservatives that have
made the switch to Patriot Mobile. I'm going to give
you a free month of service as well, and doing it.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Is so easy. They can switch you over the phone
in minutes.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Go to Patriotmobile dot com splash ben forty seven. That's
Patriot Mobile dot com slash ben forty seven, or call
them ninety seven to two Patriot that's nine seven to
two Patriot. Use the promo code ben forty seven for
a free month of service.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
That's Patriotmobile dot com.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Slash ben forty seven or ninety seven to two Patriot
and use the promo code ben forty seven for that
free month of service. It's a forty seven morning update
and it starts right.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Now, story number one.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
It is a.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Move that could go down in history as a historic one.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Terrorist organization.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Hamas has reportedly agreed to the ceasefire in Gaza and
the peace plan that has been set by President Donald
Trump in his administration. This coming right now from the
Times of Israel. A peace deal could be signed as
early as today. Sources in the Palestinian resistance tell the
(02:58):
HESBLA affiliated news outlet that Amas has agreed to a
Gaza ceasefire deal, adding that it would be signed Thursday
in Egypt. That is what the outlet is also saying
at this moment. During a press conference on Wednesday, President
Trump said he may visit Egypt sometime later this week
for a possible peace agreement. His exact words, I may
(03:21):
go there sometimes toward the end of the week, maybe
on Sunday, actually, but there's a very good chance, and
negotiations are going along very well. We're dealing with Hamas
and many of the countries. As you know, we have
all of the Muslim countries included, all the Arab countries
are included, and very rich countries and some that are
(03:42):
not so rich. Our final negotiation is with Hamas and
it seems to be going well. According to Sky News,
images from the negotiations in Egypt show would appear to
be delegates hugging and shaking hands, which US correspondent Mark
Stone said look like elebrations.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Quote.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
There is an agreement among negotiaters that it will be
Donald Trump who makes some official announcement, which goes back
to that note we're reporting on earlier. Stone said, it
seems as though this is a historic moment.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
For sure.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
We don't know the details. We don't know the extent
to which the small and difficult points have been ironed
out and agreed to, but clearly an extent to which
allows them to announce a deal if that's what they're
about to do. A source also told Stone that Hamas
could release the Israeli hostages who were taken on October
(04:36):
the seventh, twenty twenty three, more than two years ago.
As early as this weekend, President Trump confirmed that both
Israel and Amas signed the peace Plan in an announcement
on true social saying this, I'm very proud to announce
that Israel and Amas have both signed off on the
first phase of our peace plan. This means that all
(05:01):
he put it in capital letters of the hostages will
be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their troops
to an agreed uponline as the first step towards a strong,
durable and everlasting peace.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
All parties will be treated fairly.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
This is a great day for the Arab and Muslim world, Israel,
all surrounding nations, and the United States of America. And
we think the mediators from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey who
worked with us to make this historic and unprecedented event
actually happen now. The White House also released a phone
(05:42):
call between the President of the United States of America
and many of the families who have hostages that are
US citizens. And I want you to hear that conversation.
They want something, all right, President Trump, You have the
best crowd of the world.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
What do you guys have to say to President Trump?
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Thank you, you did it, You did.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
This is amazing, mister President. We believe in you. We
know you've done so much for us over the past
since you became a president and even before that, and
we trust you fulfilled the mission until every hostage, every
forty eight of the hostages are home. Thank you so much.
God bless it be the peacemaker. God bless you, mister President,
(06:32):
God bless America.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
You just take care of yourselves.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
The hostages will come back.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
They're coming home, coming back.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Oh thank you, sir, thank you.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
You can hear the joy, the tears, the crying, the smiling,
the hugging, and the clappings. The President said, all the
hostages are returning home. The President also made a phone
call and do Sean Hannity's TV show at Fox News
Channel talking about this historic deal, and here's part of
(07:12):
what he had to say.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
As the President, you said in your statement that this
is the first phase of the peace plan and that
the hostages will be.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Released very soon.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
I assume that means both those that are alive and
those that are not alive, and Israel will withdraw their
troops to an agreed uponline. Can you expand on that
and tell us maybe what part two? Is there a
part two or part three? Because the idea has to
be a lasting piece, and would that include the security
(07:45):
guarantees that Hamasque can no longer be armed with weapons
that they can fire into Israel. I was in a city,
a border city in Gaza.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Near Gaza.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
They had got hit with ten thousand rockets in ten years.
I was in those those terr tunnels.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
I think you're going to see all of that disappear.
I think you're going to see people getting along and
you'll see gods are being rebuilt. We're forming a council
that the Council of Peace. We think it's going to
be called, and it's going to be very powerful, and
it's going to really, I think, to a large extent,
it's going to have a lot to do with the
(08:22):
whole Gaza situation. People are going to be taken care of.
It's going to be a different world. I think. Really
the Middle East came together amazingly, they came together. You know,
they have some countries with extraordinary wealth and just spending
a small portion of that wealth can do so much
for that area. So we'll we'll be involved in it.
But the big the big thing is hostages are going
(08:45):
to be released. It's probably our time would be probably Monday,
and you know it's it's they're terribly a terrible situation.
They're they're deep, they're deep in the earth, and they're
being gotten and a lot of things are happening right
now as we speak. So much is happening to get
the hostages freed, and we think they'll all be coming
(09:09):
back on Monday. So it looks like that's the thing,
and that'll include the bodies of the dead. And you
know the parents, the parents that we're I talk to
so many of them, but the parents are more almost
more intent, but equally intent is getting getting there. In
just about all cases, the sun their son's body back
(09:32):
than they are as though the young man was alive.
It's just the same intensity they want. They want their
baby's body back. That's what one woman said, I want
my baby's body back. And you know, the sun is
twenty five, twenty six years old, so that's a very
big part of it. Getting all of the it's about
(09:52):
twenty eight. The number is twenty eight will be coming back,
but unfortunately dead.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
You can also here the President there and the somber
tone that he had about the bodies coming home of
the dead and how important was to get those bodies
back to those families. The President was also asked a
bigger question about peace in the Middle East, and it's
something that people have been striving for for hundreds of years,
(10:19):
literally centuries, And he was asked about his plan and
how this could work. I want you to hear how
important this clearly is to President Trump.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
By the end of this term as president, What vision
do you have?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
What would you like to see Gozl look like?
Speaker 7 (10:38):
What will the relationship with Israel and other Middle Eastern
countries be like? You know this as this process continues
to unfold, and as you have convinced these other nations
to finally involve themselves, and then and then we'll let
you go, sir, Well.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Gas is going to be a peaceful, much safer place.
Obviously it's been blown to pace. And this is just
not by Israel. This is over years and years and years.
It's been heartache for many years. A lot of people
say this is a deal for three thousand years. So
whether you say five hundred, because some people say five
hundred based on events, but other people say this is
(11:15):
something historic for three thousand years. Is nothing ever going
to be bigger than this? And so Gaza, we believe,
is going to be a much safer place, and it's
going to be a place that reconstructs and other countries
in the area will help it reconstruct because they have
tremendous amounts of wealth and they want to see that
happen and will be involved in helping them make it
(11:37):
successful and helping it stay peaceful. But I think it's
going to be peaceful. I think again, the Iran situation
was very important doing what we had to do, which
was again twenty two years. It was planned to be
done and nobody, no other president wanted to do it
or whatever for whatever reason, but they didn't do it,
(11:57):
and having that was very important. But you know, it's
very I'm very confident there'll be peace in the Middle East.
I mean the words peace in the Middle East is
something people have been striving for for hundreds of years,
for centuries, for many centuries, and we really have. Every
country has come together, and on a little different scale,
(12:17):
but so important. It seems like everything's at a different scale.
But we're going to make our cities safe. We're going
to make Chicago safe, We're going to make Memphis, Tennessee.
We're there right now. We're making it safe. That there's
a difference in one week, it's like day and night.
I'm so it's so important what we did in d C. Washington,
(12:38):
d C, our own capital that people come to, and
it was crime written. And now it's as safe as
there is anywhere in the country. It's safe, it's clean.
We've cleaned it. We've gotten rid of the thugs. We've
took one thousand, seven hundred, in many cases career criminals
and in many cases people coming from other countries that
shouldn't have been allowed to come. A gang member from
(13:00):
other countries, jail, people from jails. The jails were literally
opened up in Venezuela and other countries into our country.
And we've gotten the matter. We're getting them out. But
we took out seventeen hundred in Washington, d C. Seventeen
hundred criminals that are no longer there, and we have
a safe, beautiful capital again. You can go and eat
(13:21):
at the restaurants. The restaurants are booming. They were closing
one after another and now they're booming, they're opening. And
this all took place over the last two months. It's amazing. Actually,
nobody's ever seen a transformation like they have in Washington, DC.
It's as hot as it can get, it's beautiful, it's
a beautiful thing to watch and to see it be
(13:42):
safe with our beautiful buildings, the graffitis off the walls,
the tents from all over, thousands of tents in our
beautiful parks, our national parks. The tents are all gone.
Everything is and it's only going to get better over
the next year. It's going to be there'll be some
rebuilding and some fixing up and some cleaning up, and
(14:02):
people are proud of our capital again. But the beautiful
thing is it's really safe. You can walk down the
middle of the street with your wife. You could walk
down the middle of the street by yourself, your family
can and you have no fear if you did that.
If you said that a year ago, they had almost
no chance of making it to the other side of
(14:23):
the town. And so we're very proud of DC and
it serves as a catalyst and it serves as really
an example of what can be done. But to do that,
you have to bring people in to do it. You
can't have woke police, people that aren't suited to be police.
You can't have the kind of problems that we have.
(14:45):
That's i mean almost in all cases it's democrat run cities.
So you can't do that. So we're very proud of Washington.
It's a safe place and everybody should. You want to
see some beautiful things in Washington, you go and you
go there right now, your biggest problem is going to
be you're probably not going to be able to get
into a restaurant. They're back and they're booming.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
You can hear the President there talking about world peace
in the Middle East is something Peel been striving for
for one hundred of years, talking about how people want
peace and they want to be safe, and going back
to what he's doing right here in the United States
of America, it's very clear that this is a policy
that's not just a foreign policy of this president, but
also the domestic policy of this president to allow people
(15:29):
to live in a safe area. Well done, President Trump,
Well done.

Near Gaza.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
They had got hit with ten thousand rockets in ten years.
I was in those those terr tunnels.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
I think you're going to see all of that disappear.
I think you're going to see people getting along and
you'll see gods are being rebuilt. We're forming a council
that the Council of Peace. We think it's going to
be called, and it's going to be very powerful, and
it's going to really, I think, to a large extent,
it's going to have a lot to do with the
(08:22):
whole Gaza situation. People are going to be taken care of.
It's going to be a different world. I think. Really
the Middle East came together amazingly, they came together. You know,
they have some countries with extraordinary wealth and just spending

But the big the big thing is hostages are going
(08:45):
to be released. It's probably our time would be probably Monday,
and you know it's it's they're terribly a terrible situation.
They're they're deep, they're deep in the earth, and they're
being gotten and a lot of things are happening right
now as we speak. So much is happening to get
the hostages freed, and we think they'll all be coming
(09:09):
back on Monday. So it looks like that's the thing,
and that'll include the bodies of the dead. And you
know the parents, the parents that we're I talk to
so many of them, but the parents are more almost
more intent, but equally intent is getting getting there. In
just about all cases, the sun their son's body back
(09:32):
than they are as though the young man was alive.
It's just the same intensity they want. They want their
baby's body back. That's what one woman said, I want
my baby's body back. And you know, the sun is
twenty five, twenty six years old, so that's a very
big part of it. Getting all of the it's about
(09:52):
twenty eight. The number is twenty eight will be coming back,
but unfortunately dead.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
You can also here the President there and the somber
tone that he had about the bodies coming home of
the dead and how important was to get those bodies
back to those families. The President was also asked a
bigger question about peace in the Middle East, and it's
something that people have been striving for for hundreds of years,
(10:19):
literally centuries, And he was asked about his plan and
how this could work. I want you to hear how
important this clearly is to President Trump.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
By the end of this term as president, What vision
do you have?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
What would you like to see Gozl look like?
Speaker 7 (10:38):
What will the relationship with Israel and other Middle Eastern
countries be like? You know this as this process continues
to unfold, and as you have convinced these other nations
to finally involve themselves, and then and then we'll let
you go, sir, Well.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Gas is going to be a peaceful, much safer place.
Obviously it's been blown to pace. And this is just
not by Israel. This is over years and years and years.
It's been heartache for many years. A lot of people
say this is a deal for three thousand years. So
whether you say five hundred, because some people say five
hundred based on events, but other people say this is
(11:15):
something historic for three thousand years. Is nothing ever going
to be bigger than this? And so Gaza, we believe,
is going to be a much safer place, and it's
going to be a place that reconstructs and other countries
in the area will help it reconstruct because they have
tremendous amounts of wealth and they want to see that
happen and will be involved in helping them make it
(11:37):
successful and helping it stay peaceful. But I think it's
going to be peaceful. I think again, the Iran situation
was very important doing what we had to do, which
was again twenty two years. It was planned to be
done and nobody, no other president wanted to do it
or whatever for whatever reason, but they didn't do it,
(11:57):
and having that was very important. But you know, it's
very I'm very confident there'll be peace in the Middle East.
I mean the words peace in the Middle East is
something people have been striving for for hundreds of years,
for centuries, for many centuries, and we really have. Every
country has come together, and on a little different scale,
(12:17):
but so important. It seems like everything's at a different scale.
But we're going to make our cities safe. We're going
to make Chicago safe, We're going to make Memphis, Tennessee.
We're there right now. We're making it safe. That there's
a difference in one week, it's like day and night.
I'm so it's so important what we did in d C. Washington,
(12:38):
d C, our own capital that people come to, and
it was crime written. And now it's as safe as
there is anywhere in the country. It's safe, it's clean.
We've cleaned it. We've gotten rid of the thugs. We've
took one thousand, seven hundred, in many cases career criminals
and in many cases people coming from other countries that
shouldn't have been allowed to come. A gang member from
(13:00):
other countries, jail, people from jails. The jails were literally
opened up in Venezuela and other countries into our country.
And we've gotten the matter. We're getting them out. But
we took out seventeen hundred in Washington, d C. Seventeen
hundred criminals that are no longer there, and we have
a safe, beautiful capital again. You can go and eat
(13:21):
at the restaurants. The restaurants are booming. They were closing
one after another and now they're booming, they're opening. And
this all took place over the last two months. It's amazing. Actually,
nobody's ever seen a transformation like they have in Washington, DC.
It's as hot as it can get, it's beautiful, it's
a beautiful thing to watch and to see it be
(13:42):
safe with our beautiful buildings, the graffitis off the walls,
the tents from all over, thousands of tents in our
beautiful parks, our national parks. The tents are all gone.
Everything is and it's only going to get better over
the next year. It's going to be there'll be some
rebuilding and some fixing up and some cleaning up, and
(14:02):
people are proud of our capital again. But the beautiful
thing is it's really safe. You can walk down the
middle of the street with your wife. You could walk
down the middle of the street by yourself, your family
can and you have no fear if you did that.
If you said that a year ago, they had almost
no chance of making it to the other side of
(14:23):
the town. And so we're very proud of DC and
it serves as a catalyst and it serves as really
an example of what can be done. But to do that,
you have to bring people in to do it. You
can't have woke police, people that aren't suited to be police.
You can't have the kind of problems that we have.
(14:45):
That's i mean almost in all cases it's democrat run cities.
So you can't do that. So we're very proud of Washington.
It's a safe place and everybody should. You want to
see some beautiful things in Washington, you go and you
go there right now, your biggest problem is going to
be you're probably not going to be able to get
into a restaurant. They're back and they're booming.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
You can hear the President there talking about world peace
in the Middle East is something Peel been striving for
for one hundred of years, talking about how people want
peace and they want to be safe, and going back
to what he's doing right here in the United States
of America, it's very clear that this is a policy
that's not just a foreign policy of this president, but
also the domestic policy of this president to allow people
(15:29):
to live in a safe area. Well done, President Trump,
Well done.
