Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome to the Brian Mund Show and thank you for listening.
It's time for today's Top three takeaways. Helpful, useful, repeatable,
Happy Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We got all kinds of breaking news things going on
this morning, and so just got the theme of my
takeaways today is walking you through all that has been
and all that is happening like real time.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
In Gaza.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
You have the first phase that has officially taken hold,
and so now you're seeing this massive migration of Gazan's
back into territory that had been worn torn over the
past couple of years and Israeli occupied, because really the
first phase talks about is the hostages that are going
(00:50):
to be released by Hamas. It is true, but preceding that,
the first phase was actually the Israeli military relinquishing the territory.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
That it had occupied.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I mentioned this in the twenty point plan yesterday that
the boundaries that existed preceding October seventh, twenty twenty three,
those go back into effect, and so Israel has withdrawn.
You do have gozzins that are back on the relocation
path in some cases probably the first time in two years,
(01:25):
going to take a look at what remains of what
their property would have been be interesting. From here, there's
so much we'll talk about this and Max I, we'll
just go ahead and start there.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
It's fine.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Fox is Jonathan Savage kind of some additional detail about
what's going on.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
The clock started ticking when the Israeli government ratified the deal.
Within twenty four hours, the ceasefire is scheduled to begin.
A further three days are then allotted for locating and
returning the twenty living hostages and also the remains of
twenty eight who've died. The poolback is really forces to
the so called yellow line. Demarketing roughly half of the
(02:04):
Gaza strip should take no more than a day. Meanwhile,
Israel's preparing for the arrival of President Donald Trump. The
president says he'll try to get there this weekend. He'll
also look to conduct as signing in Egypt, where the
deal was negotiated.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
So many things that are really important in this window
of time right now. Getting those hostages back going to
be a huge, huge, huge next step. Talk to a
lot of people are seemingly under a tellict mindset like yeah,
it's done, this is great. Well, it's great where we
are right now, there's no guarantee it stays this way,
(02:42):
and it's why it spent a lot of time in
my takeaways yesterday breaking down once again what Hamas is
actually about. It's really easy to look at things through
our own prism. You're not an Islamic terrorists bent on
the eradication of is real and Jewish people, or are you?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Joel? I was gonna say, is he talking to me?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
So you're staring at me?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
You're not. I mean, there could be one listening.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
You wouldn't make a good Islamic terrorist for a lot
of reasons, starting with your your heritage. That's true, I wouldn't.
That probably wouldn't go so well. So a couple things
Israel has been from the time of Hamas's charter. The
object amass laid out the eradication of Israel, the Jewish
(03:40):
state and Jews. That is the only outcome for their
Palestinian problem. In their charter they literally state that peace accords,
that international bodies and getting involved in arbiters holds no
bearing with them.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
And so what have they done.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
They've agreed to piece with international influence involved, right.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Do they mean it? Absolutely not? Now. The reason we're there.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
At this point is simply because they were on the
brink of non existence, and so you know, their backs
were against the wall. What they're going to try to
do is regroup. So the key here is and this
is where you can get biblical real fast. We actually
know how the story ends, just a matter of when
it does. We're in the end of times. Every generation
(04:33):
thinks that the odds, I mean it could it be, Yeah,
it could have happened in five minutes, could happen in
five seconds?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Is it likely to happen during lifetimes? Long shot? Long shot?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I wouldn't bet on that, And this made it a
longer shot, pushing that out further. But the US having
a presence there to try to keep the peace for
as long as possible is really what the endgame is
here at this point, and President Trump being over there
sooner rather than later, just his his presence is important too,
(05:04):
because he does hold outside influence in so many different
aspects of this, including with the era partners that are
part of this deal that do also have influence with
Hamas and Palestinian people generally. So this is a moment
to take nothing for granted. It's historical, it's important, it's great,
what's going on, it's not guaranteed, and we got to
(05:27):
get those hostages back, and then Israel has to release
over one thousand gosins that were prisoners of war before
we're even take a look at that next step, next
couple of days.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Real important.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Meanwhile, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, you have
your drum roll, Joel, it's very good. Who wasn't it
was Trump?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
It was it?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Oh wait, and we.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Sit to the piece price.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Five to Maria ka Machiad and then the record, however
that sounds you had her on your on your shortlist,
and I didn't even recognize her name when you said
then afterwards, I thought that sounded a little familiar.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
But yeah, nobody, almost nobody had had Maria Karina Machado
on their bingo card. By the way, she's the opposition
leader to Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela, and ironically, as her
White House correspondent John Decker's pointed out, no who nominated
(06:42):
her for the Peace Prize? And this is what I
really think. The angle is the Nobel Committee retains no
credibility because Donald Trump is the most deserving winner of
our lifetime, and it doesn't matter how old you are.
He is the most deserving winner with everything that he
has been able to achieve. And I talk about this
in great detail in today's Q and A. But the
(07:07):
sticking it in the eye of Trump thing, so he
you know, it's going to be hard to argue against it.
None other than Secretary of State Marco Rubio nominated Maria
Carina Machado. Now he was Senator Rubio then and Trump
hadn't even won.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
The election yet.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It was August of last year, when Marco was still
a senator that he nominated her for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
It really feels like.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Gamesmanship as much as anything, because they can, again retain
no credibility as an entity giving this anybody other than Trump.
But what are you going to say, Oh, Rubio he nominated,
Go complain to him about this. These people, by the way,
I will remind people the No Bell Committee. I don't
(07:57):
think most people have any clue about the Nobel Committee.
And Joel, you're really not familiar about what these people.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I just thought thought it was a group of people
that don't like bells.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Okay, that was that was weak in my head.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
That sounded funnier.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
That's not good.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Okay, Yeah, that's no. I did not know who they were.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
That was a war.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, these are just a bunch of Norwegians and all
these nobel things. It is a wealthy guy who set
up a trust many moons ago that you know, uses
his legacy to go ahead and have these things issued
through these non accountable committees. So, I mean, that's all
it is. It's a bunch of Norwegians with no accountability
(08:38):
to anybody. That it ever became as big of a
thing as it ever did for any of those no
Bell things is kind of ironic.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
You think they know Aha, the eighties band Take On
Become Me, they were Norwegian? Okay, I wonder if I
wonder if they're part of the committee.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I think there's a better chance that Aha wins a
peace prize before Trump.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Now, meanwhile, speaking of things that don't really matter that
seemingly have outsized influence, Fox has.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
Told senators are expected to leave Washington until Tuesday, leaving
the government shutdown until at least then. The House of
Representatives is also out. Speaker Mike Johnson has indicated he
plans to keep his chamber out until the Senate agrees
to the clean House past continuing resolution. But House Minority
(09:26):
Leader Hakeem Jefferies isn't keen on that.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
It's time for House Republicans to get back in town,
get to the negotiating table, and get real about reopening
the government.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Meanwhile, President Trump says.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
The Democrats, of course this problem.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
He's encouraging people in Democratic districts to call lawmakers and
complain about the shutdown.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Okay, a few things first. Awesome, awesome, love it. Let's
just leave Washington. Let's just all go away until Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Joel, yes.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
To this moment.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Would you have any clue that thirty four percent of
the federal government has not been operating for a week
and a half if it hadn't been in the.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
News, No, I would definitely not know none.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Do you know a single person one?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Do you know anybody that has come to you and said,
my life is worse because.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Of this outside of the news reports, I know, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Heard of anybody. You don't know the news, the people
from going to this reports.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I haven't heard anybody talk about it.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Nobody in the real world actually writes correct. Nobody in
the real world actually does.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Now somewhere there's going to be somebody saying that they
went to a national park and then get by the way,
great Smoky Mountains they opened with the help of today
there are plenty of national parks that actually happened open.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I understand that somebody wants to get a real literal
Y know.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, okay, the average person living the average for the
past week and a half has had no flipping clue,
zero impact, Absolutely nothing changed in their life. With thirty
four percent of the federal government gone. This is awesome.
It is such a teachable moment by Republicans, by Trump.
(11:18):
Let this happen illustrate the point riff most of these
people permanently. I really hope that's what comes next, whatever
point this thing is, this is the teachable moment.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
We don't need this.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
And if, as I illustrated in an analysis this week,
if we get rid of thirty four percent of the federal
government or thereabouts, guess what we have. Not only are
dead and deficit problems gone, we have budgets, surpluses, problems solve,
all the problems solved, all of them solved.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Now there's one thing I take.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Well, I won't say take exception two, but I have
a problem with I'm struggling with so Trump, like if
I were literally going to follow his advice. We share
the same house representative, UH to be represented by Lois?
What a sad state of affairs? So we both have Lois.
(12:19):
What would I call Lois to complain about? Do I
really want Lois in DC doing anything? Do I want
her technically representing me? I don't know how to complain
to Lois about this. That's the what I so I need.
I struggle with this. Let's struggle with this. You know
(12:42):
what you want to say to Lois? You can, you
can let us know what you would complain and lewis
about to try to do something. But anyway, I love
the tactic. It's very illustrative, good stuff. And then there's
this boxis Colonel Scott.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
He's charges are baseless.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
New York Attorney General Letitia James posted her response to
the Virginia indictment on social media. She faces counts of
bank fraud and making false statements. James called it retribution
by President Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
All because I did my job as a New York
State Attorney General.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
James office found the President, his two eldest sons, and
his company liable for fraud litigation. She continues to stand
behind James said she will fight this indictment.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
And my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers
and their rights.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
US attorney Lindsay Halligan called the charges alleged, intentional and criminal.
The count's carry a thirty year sentence.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Okay, couple things.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And by the way, Granal Scott didn't do a credible
job even covering that story because what he omitted there
is that everything she did was ever turned everything she
was a fraud. The case she brought was a fraud.
It was all thrown out. She literally ran a campaign.
You want to talk about an anti American pos, This
(13:58):
woman ran a campaign on I'm going to take down
Trump and his company, not even having any access to facts, information,
anything else. She ran on that in New York to
get elected, which also shows you just how discussing those
voters are. Don't care about right and wrong. All they
care is about TDS. So, anyway, do I think this
(14:22):
is political retribution? Heck yes, I do. I have no
doubt about that. Here's the thing. If you're an anti
American POS who doesn't care about doing the right thing
by the American people, by the job of an elected
prosecutor to actually have facts in hand before you say
you're going to take down the family, take down people,
(14:42):
and then have a sham prosecution that gets thrown out
in court. Probably not a good idea to commit mortgage fraud.
Just saying, if you're going to do all that, probably
not a good idea to be a scam artist pos
mortgage fraud person.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And that's Latsia James, so Whoopsie
