0:27Let's get them over with.
0:30My name is Mackenzie and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a
0:35nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find
0:42adequate care for this autistic child.
0:44So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills.
0:50So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis.
0:55And we raised about $10 ,000 within just a couple of months.
1:02I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like
1:07really being very clear about what we needed.
1:10We had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation
1:14that this family was struggling with.

1:45included with Prime. All hell is breaking loose as Donald Trump cracks under pressure during
1:52his disastrous war. The entire world is seeing Donald Trump for how weak he is
1:59in China. It's being reported by Bloomberg that Xi Jinping has closely studied Donald Trump
2:06and the U .S. war with Iran to learn about the United States' weaknesses, especially
2:13as China eyes Taiwan. officials are saying that China sees a huge advantage right now
2:20as the United States shifts its attention and military away from Asia into the Middle
2:27East, where Donald Trump has started this never -ending war with Iran, where Iran has
2:33showed escalation dominance over Donald Trump.
2:38Trump and Netanyahu attack the South Par's energy facility in Iran.
2:43Iran retaliates against Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.
2:47Iran retaliates against the Ras Laffin Northern liquefied natural gas facilities in Qatar.
2:57And then Donald Trump blinks, and Trump's like, Uh -oh, I didn't mean that.
3:00It was actually Netanyahu who did it.
3:03I didn't do anything. Please stop, Iran.
3:05Be nice to Qatar. And if you're not nice, I'm going to do some really
3:08mean things to you. Let's talk about what's going on in Japan right now.
3:12If you go to a gas station in Japan, you'll probably see something like this.
3:17Look at this gas station.
3:19It says, Sorry, out of gasoline because of Donald Trump.
3:23This is not photoshopped. That is a real photo.
3:27And meanwhile, Prime Minister Takaisi of Japan says that starting today, that they will be
3:34providing subsidies to keep the retail price of gasoline at around 170 yen per liter
3:41on the national average. Doesn't this remind you of when COVID started out in Asia
3:48and then started spreading to the rest of the world?
3:50So these gas shortages, and I know it's very bad in the United States.
3:54I mean, we know how expensive right now.
3:56Gasoline is like the biggest sudden rise in history.
4:00But this is going to start to spread from Asia, and it's going to head
4:05to the United States, where soon there's either not going to be enough gasoline, there's
4:08going to be shortages, or people are just going to literally not be able to.
4:13I know right now it's unaffordable, but soon it's just going to be non -existent.
4:18Prime Minister Takaisi talks about emergency measures that they are taking there.
4:23Meanwhile, as Donald Trump shows utter weakness, Russia is heading into Cuba.
4:30Let me repeat that. Russia is heading into Cuba.
4:35And if you're saying, hey, you mean like Cuban Missile Crisis, wasn't that a big
4:41deal? Well, once upon a time, the United States stood up to Russia.
4:47Now Donald Trump removes oil sanctions from Russia, allows Russia to make huge profits.
4:55While Donald Trump is, what, the latest number?
4:59Donald Trump's going to want about $200 billion more in a military supplemental.
5:05So as the American people are suffering, Russia is the main beneficiary of this war.
5:11in Iran, and Russia is heading to Cuba.
5:15Two Russian ships carrying oil and gas are on their way to Cuba, despite U
5:20.S. pressure and sanctions under Donald Trump.
5:22I guess the pressure don't apply to Donald Trump's buddy, Putin.
5:28The shipments come as Cuba faces a severe energy crisis, highlighted by a recent nationwide
5:34blackout and months without fuel deliveries, Clash Report explains.
5:38This is from Financial Times.
5:40The extra supply could help ease shortages that have disrupted hospitals, transport, and daily life.
5:48Two shipments of Russian oil and gas head to Cuba in defiance of the U
5:53.S. They see you as weak, Donald.
5:57They see that you blink.
5:59You went in with Netanyahu, blew up the South Pars facility in Iran.
6:04Iran blew up the facilities in Riyadh and in Qatar.
6:08And then you said, oopsie, we're not going to do this again.
6:11They see you blink. China right now, they're bringing their ships up the Strait of
6:16Hormuz. You do realize that idiot Donald, right?
6:19That they're bringing up their ships to the Strait of Hormuz.
6:22They're traveling right around the coast.
6:24Iran's letting them go through while China and Russia are helping out Iran with weapons.
6:31You do realize that. Iran is now getting parts for more Shahid drones from Russia
6:37after Iran was providing Russia with Shahid drones.
6:40And you are allowing Russia to make more money to help Iran kill Americans and
6:45target Americans. But you know, Donald, that's just, you do you.
6:48You take a look. But by the way, so that was your plan in Cuba.
6:52Your plan in Cuba was to allow Putin to have more influence there.
6:56And by the way, if you think that your buddy Delcey Rodriguez and the Chavistas
7:03who are still running Venezuela, if you think that behind your back, you weak, pathetic
7:08loser, that they're not talking to Putin.
7:11Of course, Delcey's talking to Putin.
7:14Of course, she's talking to Xi Jinping.
7:16And they're all laughing in your face.
7:20Donald, by the way, you have Japan and South Korea tapping into their stockpiles.
7:26Southeast Asian countries, as Dropside explains, very much exposed right now.
7:31Thailand has banned most oil exports, imposing price controls.
7:36It's urging remote work and reduced travel.
7:39It's like in Asia right now, remote work, reduced travel.
7:42That's why I said this is very reminiscent.
7:44I mean, it's its own crisis, obviously.
7:46It's not a pandemic with the actual virus, but it's a Trump virus.
7:52Right now, that's spreading. As you know, the price per barrel of oil over $110
7:59right now. Take a look at what's going on in Germany.
8:04Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Iran.
8:07Washington did not consult us and did not declare European aid to be necessary.
8:12The Chancellor of Germany said quite the contrary.
8:15Donald Trump said, we don't want your help.
8:18We don't need you. Go away.
8:20Okay. We would have, and then Germany challenged that we would have advised against following
8:25this path in the way it is currently being followed.
8:29Spain's prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, had Zelensky over and he said, I want to be
8:35clear. While Donald Trump is out there betraying you, we will not forget.
8:40Spain, Europe, we will not forget what Ukraine is doing.
8:45We won't let this distract us.
8:48I thought that was a powerful message right there from Pedro Sanchez.
8:52When it comes to dog food, sometimes it feels like you have to choose.
8:54You either get something fresh and healthy or something that's easy to store and serve,
8:58but not both. That's exactly why I want to tell you about Sundays.
9:03Sundays was founded by a veterinarian and mom, Dr.
9:06Tori Waxman, who got tired of seeing so -called premium dog food packed with fillers
9:11and synthetic ingredients. So she created Sundays, air -dried, real food made in a human
9:17-grade kitchen with the same care that you would use for your own meals.
9:21Every bite is made from real meat, fruits, and vegetables.
9:25No kibble, no weird ingredients you can't pronounce, and absolutely no fillers.
9:30In fact, Sundays invests 50 times more in its ingredients compared to typical dog food
9:35brands because your dog deserves real quality, not cost -cutting.
9:40And here's what I love most.
9:41It's incredibly easy. You just scoop and serve.
9:44No freezer, no thawing, no prep, no mess.
9:46For me, I think about how I feed myself and the people I love.
9:50I want real, clean, high -quality food.
9:52Why wouldn't I want the same for my dog?
9:54And since switching, I've noticed better energy, a healthier coat, and just an overall happier
10:00pup. You can really see the difference.
10:03Make the switch to Sundays.

10:30I want to share this with you as well.
10:34Oman's foreign minister, Badr al -Busaydi, right?
10:39He is the guy who was the main mediator between the United States and Iran
10:44in late February on that day where there was a major breakthrough in mediated discussions,
10:52right? You had the national security advisor from the UK was in the room as
10:56well. Everybody believed that there was basically a deal that was reached between the United
11:02States and Iran, basically pretty close to a deal in principle where Iran would agree,
11:08no enrichment of their, of any future ability to build a nuclear weapon, very strong
11:16protocols. Iran basically agreed to everything.
11:19And look, Whitcoff and Kushner, who were the main negotiators for the United States, as
11:28Oman's foreign minister explained, and as UK's national security advisor explained, they were basically proxies
11:35of Netanyahu. Like they didn't know what they were doing.
11:38They were there. They were joking about the floor and shine, whatever they call those
11:42shoes that Donald Trump buys his staff members.
11:45Like Trump guesses your shoe size and he buys you these like weird shoes and
11:50he makes you wear them even if they don't fit you.
11:52So like apparently Whitcoff and Kushner were showing off their shoes to the Iranian negotiators
11:57while the Oman foreign minister, the UK national security advisor and others were doing the
12:04hard work, but whatever they got a deal in principle that would have been very
12:07good for the United States and the world.
12:11And then that night Netanyahu said, okay, we got to invade Donald.
12:15You joining me because if you don't, they're going to attack you.
12:18And Trump's like, bet I'm going to do it.
12:19So here's what the foreign minister of Oman told the economist yesterday.
12:24Iran's retaliation against what it claims are American targets on the territory of its neighbors
12:29was an inevitable, if deeply regrettable and completely unacceptable result.
12:35Faced with the blood, sorry, faced with what both Israel and America described as a
12:40war designed to terminate the Islamic Republic.
12:43This was probably the only rational option available to the Iranian leadership.
12:48The effects of this retaliation are felt most acutely on the Southern side of the
12:53Gulf where Arab countries that had placed their trust in American security cooperation now experienced
12:59that cooperation as an acute vulnerability, threatening their present security and future prosperity for Gulf
13:07states and economic model in which global sport, tourism, aviation, and technology were to play
13:14an important role is now in danger plans to become a global hub for data
13:19centers may need to be revised.
13:22In other words, Donald Trump just turned your Arab nations into his Atlantic City casinos.
13:30Literally, he did what he did with the Atlantic City casinos to your nations.
13:36By the way, look what he's doing to Vegas as well, as Trump is crippling
13:40the tourism industry in the United States.
13:43By the way, the guy who I just read, Oman's foreign minister, he was the
13:47mediator. He was who the United States picked.
13:51And Oman has been hit by Iranian drones.
13:55And he's saying, I get it.
13:56What do you think? What do you think they're going to do if you threaten
13:59to decapitate the regime? They're going to lash out for survival against the other Arab
14:05nations. That's why we tried to do a peace deal.
14:08He writes, and this is what the Oman foreign minister wrote in The Economist.
14:13This is an uncomfortable truth to tell because it involves indicating the extent to which
14:18America has lost control of its own foreign policy, but it must be told.
14:25And he says, while it will be difficult for Iran to return to dialogue, he
14:31goes, that's the only way this resolves.
14:33It's not going to be resolved through war, but he goes, how can Iran return
14:37to dialogue with an administration that twice switched abruptly from talks to bombing and assassination?
14:45So even if you wanted to negotiate with the Trump regime, how do you do
14:50it when the Trump regime will use the negotiation to literally try to kill you
14:55in a negotiation? He says that America's friends have a responsibility to tell the truth.
15:03There are two parties to this war who have nothing to gain from it, he
15:06says. In his view, this is what the Oman foreign minister says.
15:13This was the doing of Israel's leadership who persuaded America that Iran had been so
15:19weakened by sanctions, internal divisions, and the American -Israeli bombings of its nuclear sites last
15:25June, that an unconditional surrender would swiftly follow the initial assault and the assassination of
15:32the supreme leader. But that's not what happened.
15:35And every day, the US and Israel make this thing worse.
15:40I just want to be very clear.
15:41Look, Iran, the Islamic Republic led by the Ayatollah is a terroristic regime and they
15:48are very bad, very bad actors.
15:51I'm not like saying that they're not, they're very bad actors.
15:55But the question is, should we be involved in regime change?
16:00Should we be involved in endless wars just because there are regimes that are bad?
16:04Is it our job in the United States?
16:07states, while we have Americans suffering, while Americans don't have health care, while Americans can't
16:11afford things. Is that what you're going to do?
16:13And by doing that, you're making it worse because you're not doing it with any
16:18level of understanding of the region.
16:20Let's give you an example.
16:22Ali Larajani, their national security advisor, was killed two days ago by Israel, right?
16:28And Israel's like, we got him.
16:29We got Larajani. He's the bad guy.
16:32Okay. He's a bad guy.
16:33But guess who takes his place?
16:35Saeed Jalil. You want Ali Larajani or Saeed Jalil?
16:41Okay. Saeed Jalil, 10 times more extreme than Larajani.
16:46The same way you get rid of Ayatollah Khomeini, you get Mojaba Khomeini.
16:50You get his son, a more extreme version of him.
16:54Iran's leadership is such that they have three to seven people ready to fill any
16:59one position. One person gets killed, another person moves in and usually someone more extreme
17:05than the next. So you've killed Larajani, who was probably one of your last hopes
17:10at negotiating. And you bring in possibly Salil Saeed Jalili.
17:16Now it's going to be up to Pazeski and the president of Iran to make
17:19that selection. But lots of people say it's people like Saeed Jalili who are going
17:25to be picked. And that is bad.
17:27That's bad news for the United States right now.
17:32What else we got while we're on the topic?
17:36You have the United States talking about bringing in thousands of more troops.
17:41Thousands, they're saying. They already brought in 5 ,000 troops, this Marine Expeditionary Unit that's
17:47on their way heading from Japan.
17:49Again, leaving Asia very vulnerable, right?
17:53And then thousands of more troops because Donald Trump is seriously contemplating a ground invasion
17:58now of Iran, not just the Strait of Hormuz, but the coastline of Iran.
18:05And here's the thing, here's the thing.
18:08Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, this whole crew, they're a bunch of idiots.
18:13And I'm saying this, I'm not saying this to be like immature, like they're not
18:21intelligent people. Like these are actual losers who can be easily outmaneuvered.
18:26They don't plan, they don't think, they don't know facts.
18:29And the whole, and I'm showing you that the whole world sees it.
18:33Look at the mushroom clouds in Saudi Arabia.
18:35Look at the mushroom clouds in Qatar.
18:38Look at what's happening. And Donald Trump's response is to act like, oh, we didn't
18:44do, we didn't have anything to do with the Iranian South Paris strike.
18:48Yes, you did. Of course you did.
18:49It was, it was you.
18:51We know, we know what happened.
18:54And then Donald Trump's posting, US allies need to get a grip, step up and
18:59help us. And the Strait of Hormuz, who wants to help you?
19:02While you also say you're not afraid of a Vietnam style ground combat in Iran,
19:09you dodged the draft in Vietnam.
19:12All hell is breaking loose across the world right now.
19:16Donald Trump's so utterly pathetic.
