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 go fund me 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.

He's with the T-Shook of Ireland right now. Donald Trump's been attacking NATO. He was asked a question about whether the United States should withdraw from NATO as a result of the fact that no one wants to help Donald Trump in the straight of Hormuz after Trump lied and said he had an entire coalition helping him. And Donald Trump's like, we may do it. I may pull out. I don't need any congressional approval if
I want to pull out of NATO. I'm going to show you that in a moment. But right before Donald Trump was in the Oval Office, here's what he posted. He goes, the United States has been a forum by most of our NATO allies that they don't want to get involved with our military operation against the terrorist regime of Iran in the Middle East. This despite the fact that almost every country strongly agreed with what we are doing and that Iran cannot in any way shape or form be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. I am not surprised by their action. However, because I always consider NATO, where we spend hundreds of billions of dollars per year protecting these same countries to be a one-way street. We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us in particular in a time of need. Fortunately, we have decimated Iran's military. Their navy is gone. Their Air Force is gone. Their anti-aircraft and radar is gone. And perhaps most importantly, their leaders at virtually every level are gone, never to threaten us, our Middle Eastern allies, or the world again. Because of the fact that we have had such a military success, we no longer need or desire the NATO country's assistance. We never did. Likewise, Japan, Australia,
or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the most powerful country anywhere in the world, we don't need the help of anyone and he puts that in caps. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Donald J. Trump, all these straight-of-war moves is still closed right now. Iran continues to launch ballistic missiles and Shahid drone strikes at the neighboring Arab nations where there are American military bases and American interests. And just the other day, you were begging for help of NATO nations and of other allies. And they don't want to help because you don't have a plan at all and you started an unlawful war. Now, going to the Oval Office, Donald Trump was asked by a reporter, hey, you just posted that. So, are you thinking about getting out of NATO, Donald? And he says, yeah, I can do it. I'm disappointed in NATO. I don't need Congress. I'll make that decision myself. Watch as Donald Trump threatens to have the United States leave NATO right now. Here, play this clip.
Are you thinking the United States relationship with NATO possibly getting out? Well, I've disappointed in NATO that we spend trillions of dollars on NATO. Think of it trillions over the years. Many trillions of dollars. It's one of the reasons we have deficits and we help other countries. And when they don't help us, I mean, it's certainly something that we should think about. I don't need Congress for that decision. As you probably know, I can make that decision myself. I'd work with some very smart people. Then Donald Trump starts attacking different world leaders. He points to a bust of Winston Churchill behind him. And he goes, you know, Kier Starmor, the prime minister of the UK, he's no Churchill and just starts insulting Kier Starmor. By the way, you have the prime minister, the t-shirt, if you will, of Ireland there while Donald Trump is saying this. Here, play this clip. You see that man right there? You know, that is.
The late great Winston Churchill and Barack Hussein Obama did not want his bust in this office. Did you know that? And Barack Hussein Obama sent that bust back to England. He didn't want it. And when I came in, I was asked if I wanted. I said, absolutely, I want it. And I put it right there. Winston Churchill. And, you know, unfortunately, Kier is not Winston Churchill. You guys all are right there. Then Donald Trump starts insulting a manual Macron. Here, play this clip. President Macron has just said in the last hour that you'll never join a task force in the street of all news until the hostility is finished. Yesterday, you said that. President Macron, what's your reaction to that? Well, he'll be out of office very soon. So we'll have to see, you know, I don't know. Next Donald Trump is asked a question by a member of the Irish press that the president of Ireland says that your war against Iran is unlawful. Donald Trump doesn't realize that the
president of Ireland is a female Catherine Connolly. She's condemned it. I think Trump thinks that the T-shirt who's there was basically like the prime minister is the president and he confuses her. He confuses him with the president of Ireland. And then Donald Trump's like, he's lucky I exist. He's lucky I exist here. Watch for yourself. The Irish president has said that your war against Iran is really going to tap on international law. Who said that? The Irish president. Look, he's lucky I exist. That's all I can say. Because if you're going to allow countries that are sick and demented and they are demented to have nuclear weapons, everybody in the whole world should be very thankful. And I'm disappointed in NATO, very disappointed. I'm disappointed in a couple of other countries too. But they should be very thankful that this group of people feels the way we do. Because if a country like Iran was allowed to have
the power of a nuclear weapon, if we didn't stop them, I stopped them twice. I stopped them. My first term when I terminated the Iran nuclear deal, which was Barack Obama's deal. Maybe the worst deal I've ever seen. It gave everything to Iran, including billions of dollars in green cash. I don't mean cash. I mean, green cash flown over by airplanes. I reported the NAS Donald Trump if Iran is a bigger foreign policy priority than China. And Donald Trump's like, what are you talking about? We won this war after two to three days. Right now, we're just staying in Iran because, like, whatever. That's why we're there here. Play this clip. And on Cuba, the Cuban government, Iran is just a military operation to me. Iran is something that was essentially largely over in two or three days. Because the navy was wiped out almost immediately. The Air Force came next. The anti-aircraft came next. I mean, we're flying over Iran. We could take out their electric capacity in one hour. We have all the, but there's
nothing they can do right now because everything is knocked out. They have no, again, no radar, no anti-aircraft. They have nothing. And we don't, and it was a decision I may. We discussed it, Pete, Marco, JD, all of us, Chris. We discussed it. We can knock out their electricity in a matter of minutes if we wanted to. There's nothing they can do about it. We can knock out their oil in Cargalle. And the only thing we didn't take out was the oil because if we knock out, I call them the pipes. Very complex. Next, a reporter asked Donald Trump, like, do you have like plans for, like, after you leave Iran? And he's like, we have a lot. And we'll leave in the near future. What are you even talking? What are the plans then here? Play this clip. And Iran is just a military operation to you. But do you not have a day after plan? Or if so, what is the day after plan for Iran? Well, we have a lot. Look, if we, if we left right now, it would take 10 years for them to rebuild. But we're not ready to leave yet. But we will be leaving
in the near future. We'll be leaving in pretty much the very near future. But right now they've been decimated from every standpoint. And again, we've had great support from countries in the Middle East, great support. But we've had no support from essentially no support from NATO. All right, Donald. Well, what's your time frame for when cargo ships can safely go through the strait of Hormuz? Donald Trump's like, it won't be long. It won't be long. We're being helped by the Middle Eastern countries here. Play this clip. There's a question for you. I don't believe too long. We're not going to hell out of the coast. It's basically the coast and the water. And it won't be too long. And the Middle Eastern states, including Israel, by the way, who has been terrific, the Middle Eastern states have been helping us a lot. I'm so excited to share with you guys C-15 from Fadi-15. The first emerging
essential Fadi acid to be discovered in more than 90 years. It's an incredible scientific breakthrough to support our long-term health and wellness. And you guessed it, healthy aging. Fadi-15 co-founder Dr. Stephanie Van Watson discovered the benefits of C-15 while working with the US Navy to continually improve the health and welfare of older dolphins. Based on over 100 studies, we know that C-15 strengthens our cells and is a foundational healthy aging nutrient, which helps to slow aging at the cellular level. In fact, when our cells don't have enough C-15, they can become fragile and age faster. And when our cells age, our bodies age too. Thankfully, Fadi-15 repairs age-related damage to cells, protects them from breakdown, and activates pathways in the body to help regulate our sleep, cognitive health, and metabolism. This functionality leads to so many other exciting benefits now as we get older. In fact, 70% of Fadi-15 customers report seeing or feeling benefits within 16 weeks, including deeper sleep or healthier hair, skin, and nails. Now that's essential.
Fadi-15 is a science-backed award-winning, patent 100% pure C-15 supplement. It's vegan-friendly, free of flavors, allergens, and preservatives.

Then Donald Trump is asked about Jo Kent, who just resigned as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center. Donald Trump was a big Jo Kent supporter. Donald Trump, when he nominated Jo Kent, says that he's a wonderful guy and he's going to
help America stay safe. Donald Trump's been a big Jo Kent supporter and now Donald Trump insults Jo Kent. And Jo Kent resigned from the position of director of National Counterterrorism Center early today. He was Tulsi Gabbard's number two basically because he objects to the war in Iran, which he believes is an unlawful war. And this guy's a combat veteran. He's ultra-magga in the mega world. He's got a lot of kind of mega bonafides and watch Donald Trump attack Jo Kent and say, I, he's not a smart guy. He's not smart here. Play this clip. If I didn't terminate Obama's horrible deal that he made, the Iran nuclear deal, you would have had a nuclear war four years ago. You would have had you would have had nuclear holocaust and you would have had it again if we didn't bomb the site. So when somebody is working with us that says they didn't think Iran was a threat. We don't want those people because, and there are some people, I guess I would say that, but they're not smart people or they're not
savvy people. Iran was a tremendous threat. And virtually every nation, and this is the thing. Next Donald Trump starts attacking BBC and says, if you watch BBC, you'll think that this war is like a draw. We're winning this thing. BBC is like a criminal enterprise. It goes and attacks BBC. Let's play this clip. Have decimated that country. And if you watch BBC, it's almost like they're fighting us to a draw. Then they're fighting us to a draw. It was very inaccurate news. It was fake news. So I'm very proud of the term fake news because it's my term. I came up with it, but it's no longer accurate. It really is. It's corrupt fraudulent news. It really is. It's fraudulent. It's not just fake. It's beyond fake. It's really criminal what they do. But I watched BBC this morning, and I don't know much about BBC other than what took place because people were calling me saying, that was a terrible thing. I said, what did I say? I said, I never said that. And when you checked it, you agree. They agree. It was somehow
generated, I guess, by AI or something, with me staying unbelievable. So we brought a lawsuit against them. They admit they guilty. But we'll see how it comes out. Then Donald Trump starts talking about windmills and how he doesn't like windmills. As we're in a massive, right? As we're in a massive war where there's a oil shock right now and where other forms of energy would be needed. This is what Donald Trump's doing, saying that we got to get rid of windmills and solar here. Play this clip. Let's see, why are they buying oil from Norway? But they have windmills all over the country destroying those gorgeous Scottish fields and those beautiful fields all of the windmills which don't work. They're tremendously expensive. And the best testament to that is the windmills are made in China, but China doesn't use them. You know what China uses coal? They're building 58 coal fire plants right now and that's up to them.
But these foolish countries that are buying windmills, putting them out of business, I'm proudly telling you that we're going to try and have no windmills built in the United States during my very bad. They're very bad environmentally. They kill the birds. They're unsightly. They make a lot of noise. And for some reason, the environmentalists love windmills, okay? I think he's in there. I think he's in there. Then Donald Trump's like, nothing, I'm not scared of anything. I'm not afraid of anything at all here. Play this clip. Iran, because the Iranian regime has built Sky News. If you put boots on the ground in Iran, it will be another V&M. Are you afraid of that? No, I'm not afraid of anything. Then another reporter from Ireland tried to kind of clarify Donald Trump's response and say, hey, can you clarify like what do you mean? What do you think about the fact that you're meeting with the T-Shook right now? Basically the Prime Minister of Ireland. The President of Ireland is
saying that you're basically a war criminal, that you've engaged in a lawful conduct. Do you want to answer that question? I think Donald Trump is so confused. I think he believes he's with the President of Ireland right there is what I think. Anyway, here, play this clip right here. I say it. What do you think about our President's comment? Can you speak it right into your book? It's the President's comment. Well, there you have it, folks. Let me know what you think about all of that.
