2:21a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to
2:27find adequate care for this autistic child.
2:30So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills.
2:36So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis.
2:41And we raised about $10 ,000 within just a couple of months.
2:47I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like
2:53really being very clear about what we needed, we had some really generous donations from
2:58people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

3:15Donald Trump is panicking as he has effectively surrendered at this point to Iran.
3:22Trump has tapped out in these negotiations with Iran, essentially preparing to give them everything
3:28they want. But Donald Trump thinks that the American people are too dumb to realize
3:33what is going on and that will buy into his propaganda campaign.
3:37So let's talk about the facts and let's call out Donald Trump's fiction and propaganda.
3:43So this is the facts.
3:44Straight of Hormuz traffic barely is affected on the first day of the U .S.
3:50blockade, data shows. And as the Iranian social media accounts are posting, I'm choosing peace
3:57today. Do not test the retired troll in me.
4:02In other words, they're getting ready to mock Donald Trump.
4:05But it's just so embarrassing and humiliating that even the Iranian social media accounts are
4:10like, we're not going to even troll you.
4:12This is so embarrassing. Because what CENTCOM put out was the following message.
4:18And the fact that CENTCOM, the United States CENTCOM, Central Command, has been reduced to
4:25this is so Trumpian, which means it's so utterly humiliating.
4:30This is the statement that Admiral Brad Cooper, who was once like a normal, strong
4:36admiral, this is the statement that he put out.
4:38In a statement from Admiral Brad Cooper, the commander of U .S.
4:42Central Command, he states that the blockade of Iranian ports, quote, has been fully implemented
4:49as U .S. forces maintain maritime superiority in the Middle East.
4:55Cooper adds that since the blockade began on Monday, roughly 36 hours ago, U .S.
5:02forces have completely halted economic trade going into and out of Iran by sea.
5:10Even if you accept. that as true.
5:14You're bragging about further shutting down commerce when the whole point that you were trying
5:21to do was open the Strait of Hormuz.
5:24We've double blocked it, everybody.
5:26Mission accomplished. Okay. So even if you accept what they're saying as true, it's ridiculous,
5:31but it's entirely false. Commercially available maritime data indicates that at least eight vessels departed
5:39the Strait of Hormuz, including six Iranian or Iranian linked vessels on April 14th.
5:46We talked about that U S sanctioned tanker, the rich starry heading to China, just
5:53going right past the blockade.
5:55But what about ships going into the Strait of Hormuz?
5:58Well, glad you asked that commercially available maritime data also indicates that at least nine
6:04vessels entered the Strait of Hormuz, including three Iranian or Iranian linked ships.
6:11So Institute for the Study of War posits, is this part of the exemptions that
6:18the Trump regime is giving to these ships or how come ships are going out
6:22past the blockade and in through the blockade while CENTCOM is saying we have maritime
6:28superiority. If you have maritime superiority, then why don't you control the Strait of Hormuz?
6:35Or is that just part of the master plan here that will be revealed in
6:41due time? Also as tanker trackers, that does a great job.
6:47You guessed it. Tracking tankers explains.
6:50A non -Iranian super tanker capable of carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil, blacklisted
6:57by the U S office of foreign assets control for violating sanctions on Iran, just
7:03made her way into the country via the Strait of Hormuz, all while it had
7:08its signaling on so that anybody can see it.
7:11It didn't even try to hide where it is.
7:14It is mocking. They are mocking the United States right now.
7:19And one of the things that they're doing as well, and perhaps this is being
7:23done with the tacit agreement of the Trump regime.
7:26It's exactly what I said was going to happen.
7:29So you'll have a ship go to an Iranian port, one side of the Strait
7:34of Hormuz, right? And it goes right in the other direction to Oman, another country
7:39to the port of Oman on the other side of the Strait of Hormuz.
7:44And then they're like, look, mom, we didn't leave from an Iranian port.
7:47So I guess we're not subject to the blockade.
7:50And the Trump regime is like, oops, I guess you're not subject to the blockade.
7:54It's just on the Iranian ports.
7:56Like, do y 'all see what's going on and how weak and pathetic it is?
8:00But speaking about weak and pathetic, let's take a look at what Donald Trump has
8:04been saying since February 6th.
8:07Our editor in chief, Ron Filipkowski, he has listed Donald Trump continuing to say they
8:14want to make a deal badly.
8:17A direct quote from Donald Trump, February 6th, they want to make a deal badly.
8:22March 2nd, they want to make a deal badly.
8:25March 16th, they want to make a deal badly.
8:28March 24th, they want to make a deal badly.
8:32On the 25th, on April 1st, on April 13th, and then yesterday on April 14th,
8:37yes, they want to make a deal so badly.
8:42Donald Trump called up one of his favorite reporters, Jonathan Karl of ABC.
8:47And here's what Donald Trump told him yesterday.
8:50He goes, I'm thinking about extending the ceasefire, but I don't think it's going to
8:55be necessary. Hey, Jonathan, I think you're going to be watching an amazing two days
9:01ahead. I really do. I asked if the war ends with a deal or do
9:06you just say, look, we knocked out their capability and that's it.
9:11Donald Trump goes, you know, it could end either way, but I think a deal
9:16is preferable because then they can rebuild.
9:19They really do have a different regime now, no matter what.
9:22We took out the radicals.
9:24They're gone, no longer with us.
9:26And then Donald Trump said to Jonathan Karl, if I weren't president, the world would
9:31be torn to pieces. If I weren't president, the world would be torn to pieces.
9:38That's called malignant narcissism right there of the most extreme kind.
9:45And Donald Trump exhibits that every single moment of every single day.
9:50Now, Donald Trump says though, he's holding out for a grand bargain.
9:55That's what JD Vance was saying yesterday when he spoke at a turning point USA
10:00event where very few people showed up.
10:03It was like, like hundreds of people in a massive stadium.
10:07It was so humiliating for JD Vance.
10:09And JD Vance is like, you know, the thing about Donald Trump that we all
10:12need to think about when it comes to Iran, he's just holding out for the
10:17perfect deal, the grand bargain.
10:19We don't want to make small deals.
10:21Here's what JD Vance had to say about that.
10:24Let's play this clip. life.
10:40And that's the kind of Trumpian grand bargain that the president has put on the
10:43table. And while J .D.
10:45Vance is saying that, Maria Bartiroma of state regime media, which calls itself Fox, she
10:51interviewed Donald Trump yesterday. And she said that Donald Trump was running around the White
10:55House saying the war is over.
10:58We've won. It's completely done.
11:01It's over. Here's what Maria Bartiroma says.
11:04Let's play this clip. I just left the president today.
11:08It was a great interview.
11:09He said a lot about the economy, about the Iran war, about NATO.
11:14One thing that I'll leave you with, I said to him, Mr.
11:16President, you keep talking about the war like was, was, was.
11:20I said, is it over?
11:21He said, it's over. Join the whole interview tomorrow on Mornings with Maria, Fox Business,
11:266 to 9, 8 Eastern.
11:27I'll see you then. Now, what are they saying about that in Iran?
11:31Social media accounts like the Iran embassy in the UK posting this image of Donald
11:37Trump calling him Don Zhu, like Sun Zhu with the art of war, but they
11:41like have their own expressions.
11:43Don Zhu. If you can't open it, close it tightly regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
11:49Or you have these like cartoons that they're putting out of Iran, of the Houthis
11:56in Yemen, chasing off aircraft carriers of the United States.
12:01Like one thing that we should be aware of, and like, it's obvious that, um,
12:07the Iranians are aware of as well, you know, as Donald Trump's like, we don't
12:11want a small deal. We want a grand bargain.
12:14So the Trump regime right now is sending its big aircraft carrier, uh, and its
12:19aircraft carrier group, the, uh, George HW Bush aircraft carrier.
12:25And because they are so afraid of going through, uh, the Red Sea, they're sending
12:31it all the way around Africa because even the United States aircraft carriers are afraid
12:37of Iran's proxies in the Red Sea.
12:40So while our CENTCOM, just think about the logic.
12:44CENTCOM says we have maritime superiority.
12:48Okay. But you're afraid to send a United States aircraft carrier group, the pride and
12:55joy of the United States military.
12:58You're too scared to send that through the Red Sea because of the Houthis.
13:04So you're sending it all the way around Africa.
13:07That doesn't exactly instill a lot of confidence in ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
13:14Like you realize that, right?
13:16Like, do you think that the shipping industry is too dumb to realize that if
13:20the United States aircraft carrier group is too afraid to go into the Red Sea,
13:25where the capabilities of the Iranian proxy group, the Houthis is less significant than the
13:31Iranian capabilities in the Persian Gulf, that you're sending a message that you're scared, or
13:38are we supposed to just buy into all of this propaganda that you spew?
13:43The Iranians aren't. I mean, they're posting images like this.
13:46They're showing photos of Donald Trump's mom.
13:49And Donald Trump's mom, they have her saying, yes, my son Donald is an idiot
13:54with zero common sense and no social skills.
13:57He is an egomaniac sociopath beyond belief, but he is my son.
14:01I sincerely just hope he never gets into, he would be a disaster if he
14:05were to ever become the president.
14:07He's a catastrophe for humanity.
14:10Then Iran's social media account says, do you remember this?
14:13Rest in peace, Mary Ann Trump, second version.
14:19Then they talk about invoking the 25th amendment.
14:22Then they did a new Lego video where Melania Trump, they call Melania Trump Epstein
14:27queen in Iran right now.
14:28And they're just mocking Melania saying Epstein queen, Epstein queen, Epstein queen.
14:33And again, if you want to know what's, you want to know, like you have
14:37to study what's going on in Iran.
14:38Like we have to develop an understanding of the true dynamics here, right?
14:44And how they also view in Iran that they won the war and they're right.
14:48They won the war against the United, what'd the United States get?
14:53The U S claims that wanted regime change and claims that wanted to destroy Iran's
14:58ballistic missile capabilities. And they didn't get that.
15:00I mean, Donald Trump can lie about it, but it's, it's a massive lie.
15:05It's war crimes compounded by the fact that America has never been weaker.
15:10So let me share with you this interview, what, uh, a well -known professor, uh,
15:17professor Mirandi, who was part of the Iranian delegation in Pakistan, what he is saying
15:25about those negotiations, why they failed.
15:28And just to be clear, this professor was with the Iranian delegation.
15:33He traveled with them when, uh, uh, they were worried about security issues, about how
15:41they would get back from Pakistan and how they flew to Russia.
15:45And they took a train to get back to Iran.
15:47And because of, when they had to take vehicles rather to get to Iran, he
15:52was with them. He was with, he traveled with all the negotiating from Iran to
15:56get, he, so he knows what their perspective is.
15:59Don't you think that we should listen to understand, especially if we're going to be
16:03engaging in more negotiations, what they're thinking.
16:06So you Here's what Professor Mirandi from Iran had to say about Iran's sovereignty and
16:13how Iran will not give up its sovereignty in negotiations to civilian uranium enrichment.
16:20Here's what he says. Play this clip.
16:22Iran is not going to give up its sovereignty.
16:24It's not going to give up its rights as a sovereign and independent country.
16:29And what Vance was demanding on behalf of the Israeli regime, because let's be very
16:35clear, the United States was not negotiating, the U .S.
16:38delegation was not negotiating on behalf of the United States.
16:41It was negotiating on behalf of the Israeli regime.
16:44And I think that these negotiations really showed that the U .S.
16:48government, its priority is not the United States.
16:52The priority is Netanyahu and the Zionist lobby.
16:56It was clear from their demands.
16:58It was clear from their behavior.
16:59And it was clear that when progress was made at the negotiating table, that subsequent
17:08to phone calls and discussions that Vance would have with others in the United States,
17:15that the negotiations would change route.
17:18So unlike the Iranian negotiators, who had the full authority to negotiate and to make
17:28decisions, it was clear that for the Iranians, that Vance did not have that authority.
17:34Here's the Iranian perspective that the U .S.
17:37lost the war, as he reflects.
17:39And again, he's with the Iranian negotiating team.
17:42So what he's saying is reflective of the collective voices in the room from Iran
17:47negotiators. Play this clip. What they were demanding is that Iran give up its peaceful
17:51nuclear program. And that's just not possible because that's a sovereign right of the Iranian
17:57nation. And the revolution in Iran 47 years ago was about regaining sovereignty and independence.
18:07It was about dignity. It was about honor.
18:10And so there's no chance in the world that Iran is going to capitulate to
18:15demands by the United States, especially since the United States launched and the Zionist regime
18:20launched an evil war. And they lost.
18:22They were defeated. They gained nothing.
18:25And instead of growing stronger, they weakened their own position.
18:30And also at the negotiating table, Vance was demanding, and the United States demanding that
18:38Iran share the straight -of -formals with the United States, which is quite interesting, that
18:45the United States doesn't care about Kuwait or Bahrain or the Emirates or Qatar or
18:56Saudi Arabia. All of the straight -of -formals with Iran without even mentioning the names
19:02of these countries, or even Oman, which shares the straight -of -formals with Iran.
19:08Iran said, no, this is not the Gulf of Mexico, so why should we share
19:16anything with you? Who are you to demand authority over the straight -of -formals?
19:24So everything that Vance was demanding was illogical, illegal, and they did not have the
19:37decency to even mention this in public.
19:45But, of course, the very fact that he says Iran did not, what was it
19:49that you said, that they did not meet our demands.
19:52The United States is in, you know, no two negotiating countries.
19:58When they're negotiating, the issue is not of one side making the demands and the
20:04other side adhering to them or obeying them.
20:07At negotiations, you're supposed to find solutions.
20:10But when the war started a month and a half ago, the United States said
20:17that Iran has to capitulate.
20:21It has to accept unconditional surrender.
20:24Well, that didn't work well.
20:26That didn't work out well.
20:27And after a few weeks, they had to constantly revise their position.
20:32And ultimately, they gave a 15 -point peace plan, which was, again, unacceptable.
20:38And Iran rejected it. And then ultimately, when they accepted to discuss talks, they wanted
20:45to ceasefire. And when they accepted the Iranian 10 -point plan as a framework for
20:50negotiations, then Iran accepted the peace plan.
20:53So the United States is, during war, they were unable to get any sort of
20:59unconditional surrender. How do they expect that after they've lost the war, that Iran is
21:05going to surrender to them at the negotiating table?
21:09And here's what he says, that there is zero trust between the Iranians in general
21:14and that negotiation team and their leadership and the United States.
21:17Here's what he says. The Iranians do not trust the United States.
21:20They never did trust the United States.
21:22Even before the 12 -day war that we had last year, and we were negotiating
21:29with Americans, and they kept moving the goalposts during the negotiations.
21:34negotiations, the Iranians didn't trust them.
21:37Some people thought that the United States was able to fool Iran through those negotiations,
21:42because it was clear that they were conspiring.
21:44It was admitted afterwards that during the negotiations, they were actually conspiring to attack Iran,
21:49and they wanted to catch Iran off guard.
21:51That just shows how sinister Trump and his regime are.
21:56But Iran knew that an attack was coming.
21:58But the reason why it negotiated was so that the international community and Iranians would
22:04see that the problem is not Iran.
22:07And that had a very huge effect.
22:09I think the damage done to the United States by being so deceitful and murderous
22:13at the same time is enormous.
22:16And then, of course, as you rightly pointed out, before this war, the United States
22:21did the same thing. They negotiated with Iran.
22:23The Omani foreign minister said that significant progress was made, yet the United States attacked.
22:29And that again shows that there's no way, there's no reason why anyone, I mean,
22:36the Iranians aside, no one else should trust the United States at anything, because they're
22:41deceitful. And they're sinister. And so one other development happened yesterday also that I think
22:48is worth pointing out so that we can all be on the same page here
22:53about just, as I mentioned at the outset, fact versus fiction.
22:56So one of the things that Iran said was a precondition to reaching a resolution
23:05was a complete, not just ceasefire, but security guarantees in Lebanon for the Iranian proxy
23:12group Hezbollah in Lebanon. Not the Lebanon government, Hezbollah in Lebanon.
23:16That's what Iran is looking for.
23:18I'm just letting you know what their position is, okay?
23:21That's what the Iranian position is.
23:23So what Donald Trump, Netanyahu did is they invited the Lebanon government over to the
23:30White House, not Hezbollah, obviously, the Lebanon government to discuss potential ceasefire with Israel, the
23:38United States, and Lebanon. A trilateral negotiation took place in the White House.
23:44But like Iran is looking at that and people who understand the dynamic is looking
23:49at that and be like, what's Lebanon going to be doing here?
23:53That's not the core issue.
23:54The core issue is Hezbollah.
23:56And that's what Iran has been communicating.
23:58So again, this is like theater, I guess, to say what we met with Lebanon,
24:05everybody, and Lebanon's agreeing to this, that, and the other.
24:09I mean, the State Department issued a readout after a trilateral meeting with Israel and
24:13Lebanon on April 14th. And they said this was a historic milestone.
24:18It says that Washington reiterated support for Israel's right to defend itself.
24:23It said negotiations could unlock reconstruction aid and economic recovery for Lebanon.
24:29Israel pushed for disarming all non -state groups and dismantling their infrastructure.
24:35All sides agreed to launch direct negotiations at a later date.
24:39So even with the Lebanon government, not Hezbollah, the Lebanon government in D .C., there
24:47was no deal. They agreed to negotiate at a later date, whatever that means.
24:52And then Israel talked about continuing to bomb Lebanon where there's Hezbollah.
25:00But as we know, Israel and Netanyahu have been hitting suburb, suburb, suburban areas in
25:07Beirut and other areas, killing lots of civilians.
25:10And a Lebanese government official was telling the Washington Post and other media outlets that
25:15they don't believe that Israel -Lebanon talks will lead to a ceasefire.
25:19Quote, what does Lebanon have to offer on a negotiating table?
25:23Nothing. It's not the core issue.
25:26So that's where we're at right now.
25:28We'll keep you posted every step of the way.
25:31But you have Donald Trump creating this facade, this idea that, look at our maritime.
25:38We have maritime superiority, air superiority.
25:42We've destroyed them. We've blown them up to the Stone Age.
25:45And meanwhile, Donald Trump's like, OK, can we just give you what you want to
25:49run? As I said in the video I did yesterday, where we're at right now,
25:53Iran basically said, look, in terms of nuclear uranium enrichment for non -civilian use, we
26:00want to hold off for five years.
26:03Trump's like, can you do 20?
26:04Can you give me 20?
26:06Obama's deal. Obama's deal, Iran was not able to enrich at all.
26:12So Donald Trump, it's just a weaker deal.
26:15It's so obviously pathetic. And you heard from the professor that basically Donald Trump wanted
26:22to just share the straight of her moves.
26:24That's what he wants to do, to a sharing, to a JV.
