We have a lot to discuss on today's episode of the Midas Touch podcast. You have the United States government still in shutdown mode with no end in sight. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans refusing to talk with Democrats, yet alone even hold negotiations as Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans want to rip healthcare away from tens of millions of Americans. I want to talk about what took place in the Middle East today, the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. We'll talk about Donald Trump's speech that he gave in front of the Knesset, as well as his speech in Egypt. I thought Donald Trump's speech was very bizarre. He wanted to make this all about himself, me, me, me, me, me. And he was spiking the football when we're just
in one phase of phase one, and Donald Trump refuses to even acknowledge if he believes that there should be a two-state solution. We're gonna talk about that also this weekend, October 18th. The No Kings protests will be taking place. and already donald trump and maga have their talking points and saying that the peaceful no kings protests are pro-antifa pro-hamas events and this as donald trump is creating a database of anybody he believes to be an enemy of the people or enemy from within they actually have an office compiling a list of people out in virginia We'll talk about that and more. I'm Ben Mycelis. This is the Midas Touch podcast. Brett and Jordy, we've got a lot to discuss today, brothers.
We certainly got a lot to discuss from global affairs to things going on here at home. Certainly a whole lot of things that I wanna say, a lot of things that I know that all Americans right now are concerned about and rightfully so. We got these massive protests coming up this weekend, the No Kings protest. I've heard from so many of you that so many of you are going. One of the things that I love is when you tag us in the photos when you're at these events, especially when you have Midas touch on your signs and you're spreading the word. in addition to protesting. I think that is the coolest thing. I'm looking forward to speaking about the latest updates with the ceasefire. So great to see the hostages home.
Really heartwarming to see that footage. So much more to be done, but it's so great that we're able to see that. And at least for this moment in time, see an end to the hostilities and an end to that horrific, horrific fighting that we saw there in Gaza. Jordi, like I said, we have a whole lot to say, a whole lot to talk about. I want to pass it to you first, and then I want to get into it. No, thanks, B. And what's up, Midas Mighty? I can't wait for today's show as well. A lot, a lot, a lot to get into. I'm excited. Ben, why don't we just start off? Where do you want to lead us off today, big bro? Let's get into it right away. I think let's talk about the undisputed facts. I think it's an undisputed fact that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas to end what's taking place is a good thing.
I think the atrocities that we've seen take place in Gaza have been really beyond words that I could even describe the atrocities as tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians have been killed. And at the same time, Hamas has held these remaining 20 living hostages for quite some time. And it has been an incredibly important thing to bring back the hostages. I think those are undisputed facts. I think at the same time, I've seen so much of the corporate news coverage spiking the football as though there's peace in the Middle East now and everything has been solved. I think that's irresponsible reporting on what has actually transpired. I mean, I think it's a ceasefire and there have been dozens of ceasefires in the history of that specific region.
Former President Biden was able to secure the release of about 140 hostages. And I think when you add up the 20 today and eight before, I think Trump was able to return about 28 hostages. We want hostages being returned. We want the atrocities in Gaza to stop. I think it is important, though, that, again, we don't spike the football on this moment.
