Facts, integrity at trust. This is the Brian mud Show.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Our White House correspondent, John Decker is on it, and
when I say on it, on all of it. He
has been a busy man along with all the breaking
news that we've had here over the past couple of days.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Good morning, John.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
You had a really interesting factoid that you brought to
my attention just a bit ago pertaining to the winner
of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Well, that's right. You know, a group of Florida lawmakers
submitted a nomination last year August of last year, so
a few months before the twenty twenty four presidential election,
and their nominee it was this year's winner of the
Nobel Peace Prize. And among those individuals nominating the nominee
(00:53):
was Marc or Rubio, President Trump's secretary of State, Our
secretary of state. So interesting factoid related to this year's
winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, the opposition leader to Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro, Maria
Cariina Machado, And of course Ruvia would have been a
senator at that point when that nomination made So yeah,
kind of interesting, kind of interesting for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
You wonder if gamesmanship played a role.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
So we have the Israel Hamas ceasefire that is now
officially in place next couple of days, super important kind
of walk us through this along with the presidents saying
they's looking to make the trip over there.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Well, the first aspect of this peace deal that the
President announced just this past Wednesday is release of hostages,
release of bodies of hostages held by Hamas in release
of Palestinian prisoners. So that is the first phase of
this peace agreement. And because the Israeli kinesse it last
week and the Israeli cabinet agreed to this peace deal,
(01:57):
there now is a ceasefire in Gaza. There is no
fighting there. The President has indicated that he'll be traveling
to the region, saying that he'll do so likely on Sunday,
just a few days from now, to see the release
of those hostages. That's the first aspect of things, and
then a lot of complicating factors after this first phase,
(02:18):
if indeed this first phase happens, and we're all obviously
hopeful it does, And that is what does the future
of Gaza look like? Who's governing Gaza, what does the
building of Gaza look look like who's maintaining the piece
in Gosa. All of those issues I think are not
clear just yet. They're written on paper, but a lot
(02:38):
of details still need to be filled in.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
John.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Not lost on me is what you're talking about here,
you know, I was talking about this yesterday. Hamas and
their charter, they're literally founded on the eradication of Israel
and of the Jewish state. They make no bones about
the entire territory being what they claim to be part
of the Palestinian problem. And they also, even in their charters,
(03:01):
say that international bodies and peace accords hold no bearing
with them. So it's kind of hard to take them
at face value other than they weren't in a position
to really do anything else, and maybe this gives an
opportunity to regroup. Iran, on that note, actually said this
was a win for Hamas. I think our involvement there
is important, probably Trump's presence there. This weekend, word was
(03:22):
two hundred US troops were heading to the region. Have
you heard anything about that.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
That's exactly right now. When you say headed to the region,
we have to be really specific, really specific about where
they're headed. They're headed to Israel. They're not headed to Gaza,
and they are part of Central Command. Central Command, of
course has its base in Tampa, but they will be
part of the force that is trying to maintain peace
number one, but also trying to deliver humanitarian aid inside Gaza.
(03:51):
But they're according to what I understand, those US troops
will not be booths on the ground in Gaza itself.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
That's good update. And then you have the partial government
shut down a week and half in. Looks like nothing
anytime soon since looks like Congress is going home for
the weekend.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Maybe back next Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Back on Tuesday. So the government shut down now in
day ten lasts until next week. And next week is
when pain we will potentially be felt by federal government
employees as well as the US military who will be
missing a paycheck should no deal be reached to reopen
the federal government. A lot of pressure, I would say, Brian,
(04:29):
actually on both sides for different reasons. And hopefully that
pressure that's on both sides for different reasons, leads to
a deal perhaps next week, to reopen the federal government,
to get people back to work and to get all
those services that people depend on back online. So I
will have to keep our eye on what happens Tuesday
of next week. And that's all on the Senate side. Meanwhile,
(04:52):
the House has remained out and the House says, well,
we did our job. We passed the continuing resolution. It's
now up to the Senate to pass our clean continuing RESILD.
But of course there's been difficulty in terms of doing
just that.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
You bring up a lot of good points.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I in speaking with Eric Trump earlier this week, do
believe that the President tends to permanently riff a lot
of these furloughed employees. They were all given notices that
they might, under the Warrant Act not be brought back
starting the sixty day clock. And so it'll be interesting
to see what happens if when this thing gets going
again soon, John.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Great work, as always appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Thank you, Brian, have a great day and a great weekend. Byebye,
