0:00My name is Mackenzie, and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a
0:05nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find
0:12adequate care for this autistic child.
0:14So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills.
0:20So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis.
0:24And we raised about $10 ,000 within just a couple of months.
0:32I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like
0:37really being very clear about what we needed.
0:40We had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation
0:44that this family was struggling with.

1:58AvocadoGreenMattress .com. Donald Trump is panicking as his disastrous and unlawful war in Iran continues
2:05to escalate. Donald Trump is now preparing to deploy elements of the 82nd Airborne Division
2:13into the Middle East. Now this follows Donald Trump deploying the USS Boxer Amphibious Ready
2:20Group and 2 ,500 Marines from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit as well.
2:27So we have the USS Boxer, the USS Portland, the USS Comstock departing San Diego
2:33in the past 48 hours.
2:36Add to that a Marine Expeditionary Unit aboard the USS Tripoli carrying about 2 ,500
2:43troops from Japan expected to arrive in the Persian Gulf region by late March.
2:51And the other ships are expected to get there late April.
2:55And so, folks, things are escalating.
2:57We were reporting earlier yesterday how Donald Trump and his military generals and admirals are
3:02apparently planning a ground invasion of Karg Island and also the coast of Iran potentially
3:11putting troops there. And things are getting very, very escalating there very, very quickly.
3:19Here's what Donald Trump posted on social media as well, though, where he tried to
3:24act like he wasn't doing what we actually can see these deployments occurring.
3:29Donald Trump writes, we are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider
3:34winding down our great military efforts in the Middle East with respect to the terrorist
3:39regime of Iran. One, completely degrading Iranian missile capability launchers and everything else pertaining to
3:45them. Two, destroying Iran's defense industrial base.
3:48Three, eliminating their Navy and Air Force, including anti -aircraft weaponry.
3:52Four, never allowing Iran to get even close to nuclear capability.
3:56And always being in a position where the USA can quickly and powerfully react to
4:01such a situation should it take place.
4:03Five, protecting at the highest level our Middle Eastern allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar,
4:09and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others.
4:11The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed as necessary by other nations
4:16who use it. The United States does not!
4:19If asked, we will help these countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn't be
4:24necessary once Iran's threat is eradicated.
4:28Importantly, it will be an easy military operation for them.
4:31Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald J.
4:34Trump. So while Trump is deploying all of these troops to the region, he makes
4:38a post where it seems like he's saying that he's going to surrender and then
4:43just leave the Strait of Hormuz, which he's now responsible for having become closed by
4:49starting this war with Netanyahu against Iran and then Iran retaliating as such.
4:54We'll just leave it to everybody else to deal with.
4:57But he's also now deploying these troops.
4:59There's clearly no actual leadership taking place.
5:04It seems like they're just winging it one day to the next.
5:07And you want to talk about winging it while Donald Trump is also saying that
5:11he's going to do it.
5:11thinks his job is done, but while also deploying the 86th Airborne and those other
5:17troops that I mentioned. We also learned yesterday that the United States, through its Treasury
5:22Department, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant announced that they are providing a 30 -day sanction waiver
5:28for Iranian oil on the water loaded before March 20th.
5:33So as Gregory Brew explains, so while the U .S.
5:37is trying to bomb Iran into submission or decimate them, as Donald Trump says, it
5:43is now permitting nations to buy Iranian oil for the first time since 2019.
5:50But it gets even worse than that because if you read the waiver, as Gregory
5:54Brew explains, the waiver actually permits Iranian oil to be brought into the U .S.
5:59for the first time since the 1990s.
6:02It gives access to Iranian oil into the United States while the U .S.
6:08is at war with Iran after the U .S.
6:10lifted oil sanctions against Russia.
6:12This was one of Iran's big objectives, to be able to get the sanctions removed.
6:17Think about it. They've closed the Strait of Hormuz.
6:19The sanctions are removed against their own oil.
6:22The sanctions are removed against Russia's oil.
6:25Russia's making a killing literally and figuratively right now.
6:29They're making so much damn money selling their oil.
6:32And then they've also got the benefit of Donald Trump attacking NATO all day.
6:37Donald Trump was making social media posts yesterday saying NATO is a paper tiger.
6:41He called NATO members cowards with an exclamation point because they didn't want to go
6:46into the Strait of Hormuz after Donald Trump launched this unlawful and unconstitutional war.
6:52While Donald Trump is now purportedly building up the military presence in that region, Gregory
6:59Brew also makes a great pointer I want to share with you.
7:02So the marine force that I just mentioned earlier in this video that's being sent
7:06to potentially occupy parts of Iran, a country of 90 million people, is approximately the
7:13same size of the force used to invade the island of Grenada in 1983.
7:20The island of Kashmir, which lies along the north end of the Strait of Hormuz,
7:25has a population of 150 ,000 to 180 ,000.
7:28The city of Bandar Abbas on the coast has 500 ,000 people.
7:33Karg Island has approximately 8 ,000 people.
7:37And then Donald Trump's like, we've degraded and destroyed Iranian capabilities.
7:41Interesting, interesting, because in the past 24 hours, you can see right here, a large
7:47fire burning following a direct Iranian drone strike on the U .S.
7:52State Department's Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center, the BDSC in the Iraqi capital located on the
7:59site of Baghdad's International Airport.
8:02You can see that right there.
8:04You've got other developments as well, horrific developments.
8:08Kuwait's largest refinery was hit by Iranian drones.
8:12Also, as Iraq declares a force majeure on foreign oil fields, drop site is a
8:16good summary. So Iranian drone strikes hit Kuwait's Mina al -Almadi refinery on Friday, sparking
8:23fires in multiple units for the second time in 24 hours.
8:27Kuwait Petroleum Corporation and state news agency Kuna said fire crews work to contain the
8:32blaze. No injuries immediately reported.
8:34Kuwait's largest, but the refinery is Kuwait's largest, which processes about 730 ,000 barrels per
8:41day, had to shut down affected units.
8:44Separately, Iraq has officially declared a force majeure on all of its oil fields operated
8:50by foreign companies. Iraqi oil ministry sources told Reuters, do you know what I mean
8:55when I say force majeure?
8:56That means like a force of God clause, where it's basically invoking a special clause
9:02that says it doesn't have to deliver on its commitments.
9:05So it's a way of saying we're not going to satisfy any contracts.
9:10Force majeure clause. That's what a force majeure is.
9:13The move allows operators to suspend output and export obligations due to the war efforts
9:19in several major oil fields in the southern Basra region.
9:23Now, that's in addition to what we talked about.
9:26Those northern oil and energy fields liquefy natural gas facilities rather in Qatar, which about
9:3220 percent or so of that field was damaged.
9:36That was after the United States and Israel struck the Southpars oil and energy facilities
9:43belonging to Iran. Iran also struck Riyadh in the past 48 hours in Saudi Arabia
9:48and some surrounding energy fields there.
9:52And as Hala Jaber explains, this is escalating quickly as well, because in addition to
9:57all of the places that I just mentioned there, for the first time, Iran is
10:02now warning about foreign bases to directly, not just foreign bases, but are directly threatening
10:08UAE itself, right? Abu Dhabi is in UAE, Dubai is in UAE, and specifically the
10:15area, the Ra's al -Qaimah, in response to actions involving disputes there.
10:22So what Iran is saying is, if you're in anywhere in these regions in UAE,
10:27get out. Tourist facilities, anything is fair game at this point.
10:34We're going to attack because they say UAE has been used by American Hi -Mars
10:38to show you. shoot into Iran.
10:40So we're going after anything in the UAE at this point as well.
10:44And so UAE is in a state of utter panic as well.
10:49And again, as Donald Trump's like, we've decimated Iran, we've destroyed it, we've decimated it,
10:54really, because Wall Street Journal, CNN, and others reported yesterday that Iran was able to
10:59target the Diego Garcia base with ballistic missiles.
11:04That's in the Indian Ocean.
11:06So according to the Wall Street Journal, citing multiple U .S.
11:09officials, Iran targeted the joint U .S.-U .K.
11:12base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with two intermediate -range ballistic missiles, the
11:18IRBMs. According to the report, one missile failed in flight whilst the other was engaged
11:23by a U .S. destroyer utilizing an SM -3 interceptor, but a successful interception was
11:29not confirmed. None of the missiles hit the base, fortunately.
11:32But this is notable as Iranian long -range precision fires have not previously been publicly
11:38assessed as having a range to hit such a target as Diego Garcia, as the
11:44base is some 4 ,000 kilometers from Iran proper.
11:50As Benham Ben -Talbu explains, Iran's operational IRBM launch against Diego Garcia means more defanging,
12:00that term, needs to be done against the Iranian missile threat.
12:03The regime still has new capabilities up its sleeve.
12:06The timeline to ICBM capabilities shrunk.
12:10Iran officially attacked a U .K.
12:12territory overseas. And again, one of the things, as this one account does, the open
12:20source intelligence technical account explains.
12:23The bigger story here, the implied range of an Iranian IRBM from a launch box
12:29in central Iran with a range of 4 ,500 kilometers distance to Diego Garcia.
12:35Theoretically, this could also target sites in central Europe.
12:39And that was an important message that Iran wanted to send.
12:44Foreign Minister Aragchi posted this message.
12:47Vast majority of British people do not want any part in the Israel -U .S.
12:52war of choice on Iran.
12:54Ignoring his own people, Keir Starmer is putting British lives in danger by allowing U
12:59.K. bases to be used for aggression against Iran.
13:02Iran will exercise its right to self -defense.
13:06So, putting the people of the U .K.
13:10on notice as well. I mean, you see how utterly weak and pathetic Donald Trump
13:13looked yesterday when he held that press conference on the White House lawn?
13:17I did a whole video of his meltdown, so I'm not going to do a
13:21whole shtick where I show you all the clips again, because I showed you those
13:25clips yesterday. But here, Donald Trump's like, remember during COVID, Donald Trump was like, like
13:31a miracle, COVID's all going to go away.
13:33It's all going to magically disappear.
13:35Well, now he's doing the same thing with the Strait of Hormuz.
13:38Right after Donald Trump engages in this unlawful and disastrous war against Iran with Netanyahu,
13:44Iran responds by closing the Strait of Hormuz.
13:46Although Iran is also charging $2 million tolls to its allies that want to pass.
13:52So, China and India and other countries can pay Iran.
13:55Now, Iran's actually making a lot more money and the U .S.
13:57is lifting sanctions while they're at it as well.
14:03Donald Trump's like, at a certain point, the Strait will open itself.
14:07Remember, was it last weekend where Donald Trump posted that he had assembled an international
14:13coalition that he was going to reveal?
14:15And all these countries agreed that they would be joining Donald Trump's coalition.
14:20And he said, I'm not going to leak the names yet because I want to
14:23keep it a surprise. Right.
14:25And now it's like NATO's a paper tiger and the Strait will open itself.
14:30Watch what Donald Trump said yesterday.
14:32Play this clip. It's a simple military maneuver.
14:35It's relatively safe. But you need a lot of help in the sense of you
14:41need ships. You need volume.
14:44And NATO could help us.
14:45But they so far haven't had the courage to do so.
14:48And others could help us.
14:50But, you know, we don't use it.
14:52You know, at a certain point, it'll open itself at a certain point.
14:56But we've defeated the enemy and they are an enemy.
14:59They're a sick group of people.
15:02The leadership is gone. The Navy is gone.
15:04The Air Force is gone.
15:06The anti -aircraft equipment that they have, the radar they have is all gone.
15:11Everything's gone. The Strait itself, the actual Strait, how are you?
15:17The Strait itself is, we're doing a good job.
15:20But it would be nice if the countries, including China, if the countries that use
15:26it, China uses it 90 % of their energy.
15:29Japan is 95 % of the energy.
15:32It would be nice if those countries would get involved.
15:35And then a reporter says, so like, do you have a plan on any of
15:39this stuff? Or are you literally just winging this?
15:42And he's like, if I had a plan, why would I even tell you?
15:56Here, yesterday, the markets closed.
15:58The Dow at 45 ,000, the S &P at 6 ,500, the NASDAQ at 21
16:04,000. Each of those were down.
16:07NASDAQ was down about 2%.
16:08The S &P was down about 1 .5%.
16:11The Dow was down about 1%.
16:14The markets have absolutely been crashing.
16:17As Adam Kobayesi explains, in a sudden turn of events, the U .S.
16:2312 -month inflation expectations have surged to 5 .2%, the highest level since March 2023.
16:31In just three weeks, markets have gone from pricing in rate cuts to rate hikes.
16:37Around $1 trillion was wiped off the U .S.
16:40stock market yesterday alone as these major indexes dropped 1 % to 2 % amid
16:46escalating Mideast tensions, and those were dropping even more before this week.
16:51But Donald Trump continues to say that he believes he won, that the war is
16:57over, and that he won, but we're also sending troops, but we're also withdrawing troops,
17:01and we also have all these allies who want to help us in the Strait
17:05of Hormuz, but also we don't want their help, and also they're not helping, and
17:09also Donald Trump and his regime are a bunch of complete idiots covering up child
17:14sex trafficking rings and getting us into endless wars while the American people can't afford
17:18anything, and while people are suffering, struggling, starving, and can't pay their rent here.
17:24So here, play this clip of Donald Trump saying, we won, we won.
17:28Here, play this clip. What did you mean by that?
17:30He said the war was militarily won in Iran.
17:31What did you mean by that?
17:32Oh, I think we won.
17:34We've knocked out their Navy, their Air Force.
17:36We've knocked out their anti -aircraft.
17:38We've knocked out everything. We're roaming free.
17:41From a military standpoint, all they're doing is clogging up the Strait, but from a
17:45military standpoint, they're finished. There you have it, folks.
