My name's Mackenzie and I started to go fund me for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis. And we raised about $10,000 within just a couple of months.

I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed. We had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with. GoFundMe is the world's number one fundraising platform, trusted by over 200 million people. Start your GoFundMe today at GoFundMe.com. That's GoFundMe.com. GoFundMe.com. This podcast is supported by GoFundMe. Maga Mike Johnson is visibly cracking in public right now as Donald Trump's disastrous and unlawful war in Iran continues to escalate bringing Trump and the entire Maga Republican party down. Sadly, also bringing the United States down as well. Maga Mike Johnson is in desperation, posting photographs at the dignified transfer with soldiers whose bodies are being returned in coffins draped with the American flag.

Maga Mike is trying to score cheap political points by acting like he supports our troops. When in fact, he supports this unlawful and unjustified war in Iran now. The family members of those soldiers who are returning now to their final resting place here in the United States who are sent to their deaths by the despicable Trump regime. The family members of these heroes specifically requested that there not be any media at all present. They saw that the last time there was a dignified transfer, Donald Trump wore his campaign hat and started posting fundraising emails using the photos of the caskets to raise money for Donald Trump's political action committee. The family members said, please, no cameras, no videos. This is a solemn ceremony for us. Please do not photograph and video and post this on social media.

So what does Donald Trump and Maga Mike Johnson do? They videotape it. They posted on social media. Here are photographs of Maga Mike Johnson, Donald Trump, Pete Hegsiff, as posted by Maga Mike Johnson. And Maga Mike Johnson, Republican Speaker of the House post. Today, I had the solemn honor of attending the dignified transfer of six American heroes who gave their lives in selfless service to our nation. Freedom is never free. It is carried on the shoulders of the brave. We will never forget their courage and sacrifice. Our prayers and hearts are with their families. Spare your prayer and heart, Maga Mike. You don't have a heart and your prayers are fake. This is an unlawful and unjustified war. And don't you try to drape this in some patriotism to rally more Americans to their deaths in Iran when Iran never posed an imminent threat.

And there should not have been this unlawful invasion. And you should have respected. You should have respected what the family members said, which is do not post this on social media. Then Maga Mike Johnson goes on Sean Hannity to talk about it. He goes on state regime media to then spread more of his propaganda. And Maga Mike says, here's what we need to know Hannity. Donald Trump is a man of his own mind. So he's going to make the best decisions of his own mind when it comes to potentially escalating things in Iran by now adding thousands of ground troops. Because that's the latest thing that the Trump regime is talking about. Thousands of ground troops in Iran. Watch Maga Mike. They'll look at him. Sweaty, shiny. Look at him crack your play this clip. All right. And Speaker Johnson, I think you would confirm, as I know, as Dan Bangeino knows anybody that knows the president knows.

He is the same man of his own mind. He will listen to everybody. He'll listen all points of view. And he's going to make up his own mind. Then it's the job of those people around him to support the policies. He was elected commander in chief, not them. Some of them need to learn that. That's right. And we appreciate you're exactly right. And he's restoring peace through strength and America is better for it. And so is the all of the free world. More from Maga Mike. And again, look at him. I don't know if they Botox the hell out of his face or what is even going on right here. But then Maga Mike starts attacking Joe Kent was a mega darling. Joe Kent was like one of the top security intelligence officials in the Trump regime who resigned two days ago because he believed the war in Iran was unlawful. And he saw the intelligence and he said, none of the intelligence I saw justifies a war in Iran. And you have Maga Mike attacking Joe Kent and also Maga Mike implying that we're looking into what's going on with Joe Kent right around this time period.

We learned that the Trump regime was likely launching criminal investigations into Joe Ken for purportedly leaking information. And that Joe Kent is now under investigation because he spoke out against the Iran word. Let me be clear, Joe Kent, not a good guy. Bad guy far right wing extremist, ultra mag a guy. But even he's like this war is unlawful and he quit. Here's what magas. Here's what sweaty maga Mike has to say here. Play this clip. How is that not an imminent threat? Yeah, that's a great question. I'm not sure what Joe Kent is reading, but it's not the same intel that I've seen. Look, I'm on the gang of eight. We got all the briefings before this this operation in Iran began. We got briefings during and and then after it commenced and the intelligence was exquisite. It was very clear. This was an imminent threat to the United States and America's interest and the commander achieved it exactly the right thing. He had to protect American lives. We knew that those ballistic missiles that they were stockpiling and preparing were going to be fired at our troops and our civilians and our installations in the region.

And so the commander achieved it what he had to do. Joe Kent seemed to understand that until about 24 hours ago. I'm not sure what happened there. There's lots of discussion about it on Capitol Hill as you can imagine. We're trying to get down to the bottom of it, but he isn't outlier. I'm telling you, as we noted earlier, Bongino and others have said everyone else in the administration and everyone who sees the actual intelligence understands clearly that the president did what he had to do. Then the day before that magnum I kept on saying it's promises made promises kept. This has been the greatest administration ever here play this clip. Truly as promises made and promises kept. I've made the case that the first year of the Trump administration was arguably the most productive and successful. And at least the modern era, I think one of the top five in the history of Congress and I'm a student of all this because of all the substance and the big things that we passed and got it signed in the law. More for Maga Mike right here. He's asked, what does Donald Trump mean that the war will end when he feels it in his bones? Here's what Maga Mike says. Let's play it.

President Trump recently accepted that war around will be over when he first feel it in my bones. What does he mean by that? Well, I think his bones are informed by the intelligence. Okay. So, so look, it's the commander chief, whomever is the president, whomever is the commander in chief under our constitutional system is given a broad amount of latitude. This episode of the Mightest Touch podcast is brought to you by Blue Land.

So it's been more than two weeks since this war was launched by the US, what are we, day 20, day 21? I mean, this is just continuing to escalate by the day. Why hasn't the house held a single hearing on the financial cost of this war?

Like why aren't you having the budget committee or any type of oversight committee handle the costs, right? I mean, the latest reporting is that the Trump regime wants a $200 billion supplemental $200 billion supplemental for this disastrous war and run. Think about that. They've given $200 billion dollars to ice. They want a $200 billion supplemental on top of the $1 trillion military budget. So about what $1.5, $1.6 trillion on the military and ice. Think about if that money was spent on your health care on making affordable housing on education. Just think about where we'd be as a country. Think about the priorities here by mag a mic and Donald Trump. But here play this clip. It's been more than two weeks since this war was launched by the United States against Iran. Yet the House has not had a single public hearing with the Cabinet official of the cost of American taxpayers and Americans.

Why hasn't I was not for testimony? I don't know if you've noticed, but they've given us multiple briefings. Well, it's still we're in the midst of a couple of weeks long operation. It's very sensitive in its mission and scope. And you cannot go outside of the classified briefing to give to the public the information because it would adversely affect our mission. They have well explained this to members of Congress in multiple briefings, both before, during and after the operation commence. We had the auditorium full of house members, just just less. The American public is getting. I've just relate to you the summary of the non classified information. I wanted to share this with you as well, though. We're on the clip before I showed you where mag a mic's like this military operation, they call it like a special operation. The way Putin calls his invasion special operations. Mag a mic's like it's exquisite exquisite. That's their new line exquisite. That's a strange word to refer to war as exquisite.

But you know where it comes from, right? It comes from Stephen Miller because before mag a mic was using the word exquisite, Stephen Miller, who gives the messaging to like the Trump sycophants like mag a mic. Stephen Miller was like this military attack has been exquisite. It's the same language here. Play the slip. But from a military planning standpoint, this has been exquisite, Laura. And you talk about military planning. A big part of military planning is having the defensive weapons necessary to shoot down those Iranian missiles. So what we're not talking about is it's American planning, American imaging, American weaponry that is shooting down those Iranian drones that is shooting down those Iranian missiles that is killing those launchers. It's Iranian is the Iranians that are being overwhelmed that every single step along the way. Okay, this military invasion of Iran is not exquisite. The Arab nations are being blown up by Iran, the Riyadh facilities, big mushroom clouds there, Qatar, Qatar's LNG, which produces 20% of the world's global LNG. That was blown to pieces.

Things are not good. Things are escalating very, very quickly. It took a leg yesterday at the stock market, the Dow S&P, Nasdaq down significantly. The Dow, what yesterday fell nearly 800 points. It's lowest close in 2026. Meanwhile, the Brent crude oil prices per barrel, surging pat yesterday passed $110. This is going to hit $150 a barrel in no time. You know, average gas prices, I bet you will be five and a half dollars soon across the country. It's already like around four diesels over five. The US States, the United States national debt yesterday hit $39 trillion in Donald Trump was making social media posts begging allies to help New York. He's reposting New York Post, which is a version of his regime media. And it says, US allies need to get a grip. Step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz. Why would they want to help you? You went alone. They don't want to help you at all. Things are escalating. Iran is firing more and they are hitting more per shot than during the first day of the conflict.

And Andreas Larson explains, which again, is not not very good at all. Then, by the way, you have Trump regime propaganda, like Kevin Hassett saying that, yeah, this won't hurt our economy at all. It will hurt consumers, but not our economy. We don't care about the consumers. Nobody cares about that. Nobody cares about the people. Hassett, what are you talking about? And our economy is getting rocked right now. Our economy is getting beaten and battered right now. Here, play this clip. But the fact is that the US economy is fundamentally sound. And that if it were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers. And we'd have to think about, you know, if that continued, what we would have to do about that. But that's like really the last of our concerns right now, because we're very confident that this thing is going ahead as scheduled. And just so you can also hear what Joe Kent said that has a mega mic freaking out as well, play this clip. We knew not that Iran was going to attack. He did not say that. He said we knew that Israel was going to attack Iran and in retaliation for those attacks by Israel against Iran, Iran might attack American forces.

So the imminent threat that the Secretary of State is describing is not from Iran. It's from Israel. Exactly. And I think this speaks to the broader issue. Who is in charge of our policy in the Middle East? Who is in charge of when we decided to go to war or not? In this case, with what the Secretary described and later on the President, later on Speaker of the House and in the way the events played out, the Israelis drove the decision to take this action, which we knew would set off a series of events, meaning the Iranians would retaliate. Now, I think there's a potential there where we could have done several different things. We could have simply said to the Israelis, no, you will not. And if you do, then we will take something away from you. I think that it's fine that we offered defense to Israel. But when we're providing their means for their defense, we get to dictate the terms of when they go on the offensive, otherwise they stand to lose that relationship. And the Israelis, there's always felt in bold and that no matter what they did, no matter what situation they put us in, that they could go ahead and take this action. And here's one more clip of Joe Kent that you can hear for yourself.

Play it. What's our strategic goal in a war that's going to have ramifications for our nation, for the region, for global energy supplies. I think most, most folks right now at the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies, they would say, us and the Israelis actually have a different objective here. I don't believe that our objective has been clearly defined because we're shying away from regime change. The Israelis are not shying away from regime change. They want to knock out, lock, stock and barrel, the current government. They don't seem to have a plan for what comes next. There you have it, folks. Maga, Mike, nervous, panicked, likely losing his job soon. What a despicable place in history. I mean, what a despicable person, huh? Anyway, let me know what you think. Hit subscribe.
