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. Go fund me is the world's number one fundraising platform trusted by over 200 million people. Start your go fund me today at gofundme.com. That's gofundme.com.

And folks, this press conference was utterly humiliating. This follows the ultimatum by Vladimir Putin to Donald Trump that if the United States stopped helping Ukraine, then Putin said that he would stop helping Iran target American troops. And this is what Donald Trump did. He goes out on the White House lawn. And he starts talking about ground troop deployments on the Carg Island in the Northern Persian Gulf, which is part of Iran. We know that we have thousands of troops that are moving their marine expeditionary units. And Donald Trump says, well, because I have 100 percent support
right now, then I think that, you know, that's all that matters. What do you mean you have 100 percent support? What in the Kim Jong Un hell is this here? Play this clip. You know, the United States might be sending 2500 Marines to the Middle East. Are you concerned that a move like that could potentially change the unity? I don't know. I seem to have great support because CNN came out with a poll today that I'm at 100 percent. And they said they've never seen a poll like that. The CNN poll sent them at 100 percent. And they've never seen that before, which is an honor. I was impressed at CNN would do that. But as far as troops are concerned, I can't tell you what we're doing. Then as part of Donald Trump's White House lawn crash out, Donald Trump says about the straight-of-war moves that at some point, it will just open itself.
We don't even have to worry about it. Like a miracle, it's all going to go away, folks. It'll just like a miracle. Doesn't this sound exactly like what he would say during COVID here? Let's play this clip. It's a simple military maneuver. It's relatively safe, but you need a lot of help in the sense of you need chips. You need volume. And NATO could help us, but they so far haven't had the courage to do so. And others could help us. But you know, we don't use it. You know, at a certain point, it'll open itself at a certain point. But we've defeated the enemy. And they are an enemy. There is a sick group of people. The leadership is gone. The Navy is gone. The Air Force is gone. The anti-aircraft equipment that they have. The radar they have is all gone. Everything's gone. The straight itself, the actual straight, how are you? The straight itself is, wouldn't do a good job. But it would be nice if the countries including China, if the countries
that use it, China uses it 90% of their energy. Japan is 95% of the energy. It would be nice if those countries would get involved. Then regarding the incredibly high gas prices right now, you know right now, the pain that people in America and frankly across the world are feeling and Donald Trump says, actually, I thought the prices were going to be way worse. So this is actually good. He said, this is really good. I expected worse. Things are going to be great. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about anything here. Play this clip. And now I expected worse. I really thought the oil prices would go much higher.
I think this is not safe, not safe, honey. What are you doing with this guy? But we had him off on a security stand and we are in the process of doing it. And I'll tell you, I think we're weeks ahead of schedule. My secretary of state is very happy. Do you have a question for Marco? Yes. Then Donald Trump says, look, at the end of the day, the war has been won. We've won this thing. America defeated Iran. So what are we even talking about here? This as Iran continues to have the ability to strike its Arab nation, neighbors, where there's American military presence. This has every time the US and Israel engage in a strike, Iran is able to very quickly retaliate. We know Iran struck down in F-35 and we know they control these straight of hormones right now. And there's nothing the United States seemingly can do. But here's what he says. Let's play it. What did you mean by that? He said the war was militarily won in Iran. What did you mean by that?
Oh, I think we won. We've knocked out their navy, their air force. We've knocked out their anti-aircraft. We've knocked out everything. We're roaming free from a military standpoint. All they're doing is clogging up the straight. But from a military standpoint, they're finished. Then Donald Trump says, look, I don't want to cease fire at all. I'm not even looking for a cease fire because why would you need a cease fire when you totally obliterate the other side? He goes, they've been obliterated. I mean, they're ranting and ravings of an absolute lunatic right here. What do you mean? They have, if anything, more capabilities right now than they did before. Sure, you hit some of their navy and you hit some of their traditional military infrastructure. You also hit a lot of their dummy infrastructure that they made it look like by using chalk or military assets. But Iran, if anything, is more extreme and has more influence in the region now.
And we see that with their control of the straight of her moves. So what are you talking about? Let's play this clip. Do a cease fire. You know, you don't do a cease fire when you're literally obliterating the other side. They don't have a navy. They don't have an air force. They don't have any equipment. They don't have any spotter. They don't have anti-aircraft. They don't have radar. And their leaders have often killed at every level. We're not looking to do that. Then Donald Trump is asked, well, what's your plan for the carg island? Like, do you have a plan? And Donald Trump's like, maybe, maybe not. But why would I tell that to a reporter? Look, the American people deserve to know what the hell is going on, period, right? Are we sending a ground troop invasion into the carg island? Are you going to make matters even more horrific than they already are? But here, play this clip.
Well, I, you know, I may have a plan or I may not, but how would I ever say that to a reporter? If I said that to a reporter, Mark, it would say, please sir, let's bring you over to the helicopter immediately, right? Then a reporter wants clarification. So what do you mean when you say the war has been won? That doesn't make any sense to anybody. The war clearly has not been won if anything. It's worse. So what are you talking about? Let's play this clip of what Donald Trump said. We're making a lot of progress. So, Donald, do you plan to escort ships through the straight of Hormuz with or without allies? So what are you going to be doing here?
Let's play this clip. Do you plan to escort those ships through the straight of Hormuz with or without allies? We're doing very well there. We're doing very well overall. You know, we don't use the straight. We don't, the United States. We don't need it. Europe needs it. Korea, Japan, China, a lot of other people. So they'll have to get involved a little bit on that one. And feeble-minded, demented Donald Trump is like, well, why isn't China helping? Well, because China's not your ally idiot, the same way Russia isn't your ally idiot, they are allied with Iran. Why do you think China would want to help the United States as the US is essentially drowning right now in the straight of Hormuz? Sure, this is causing pain to China, but China can work deals out with Iran to move their oil across the coastline through the straight of Hormuz. They may have to pay a toll because Iran is charging tolls and they may even not. But where do you think Iran is getting a lot of its assets from? What do you think is happening? You saw that clip right there. So next,
I'll show you what Lindsey Graham, Donald Trump has asked about Lindsey Graham. So Lindsey Graham has asked you to reconsider these alliances and having military bases in Spain and Germany. What do you say, Donald, to your play this clip? Well, it deserves. He's right about asking that. And I think NATO has gone down a long way because they haven't, I mean, they should be helping with the straight. They get much of their energy from the straight of Hormuz. And if Lindsey Graham said that, and don't forget, he was the big NATO guy for a while. And now he's not. And a lot of senators and congressmen, they were big, they're very upset with the fact that NATO has done nothing. Right. So Donald Trump's been spending the whole day starting in the morning attacking our
NATO allies. And you know, he said, NATO, NATO is a bunch of cowards. And then his regime has been praising Putin. All right. We have this clip of his interior secretary Doug Bergen from earlier today saying that Donald Trump identifies more with Russia and Russia affiliated countries. This is Donald Trump's, sorry, interior secretary Doug Bergen earlier. He had Doug right. He had energy secretary right. Here's Doug Bergen, though, saying that America is closer with Russia, interior secretary Doug Bergen. Let's play it. I think that our orientation in terms of our alliances is changing. Well, clearly, it is what we might consider our traditional allies from Europe have been less than reliable. And from the time that we've spent working with those folks in Eastern Europe, the closer they are to Russia, the more aligned they are with President Trump and the more they aligned they are on energy policy.
Then Donald Trump, though, before that was talking about how, you know, for this, this act that he wants to do about voting, he needs democratic votes and, you know, voter ID and no men, no men, women's sports or whatever the hell he's talking about. And then he starts like talking about his ballroom and how much he loves his ballroom. It's really demented here, play this clip. When I hear the thing with utilization of your children, all of the things that we talk about, you know, we add it to, you know, we add it to little elements. No men in women's sports, right? You know that. We add it that. And when you add them all up, whether you take four or five, I think they're all 95 to 99 percent issues. I hear it's going, look, it should be an easy pass. But we need democratic votes. They don't want to approve voter ID because they cheat. They don't want to approve citizenship. Otherwise, we won't have citizenship in order to vote. You have to prove your citizenship.
If Democrats don't want to do that, you know why? Because they want to cheat me now. Speaking of something that's for pleasure, yeah, it's going anywhere in the world. Nothing like it. And they just started today. One of the biggest boards in concrete that's ever been seen. Then you have Doug Bergam, the interior secretary talking about how right now we have the lowest energy prices in the world. And we should be saying, thank you to Donald Trump. So everybody who's suffering right now, they want us to say thank you. Thank you for giving us the lowest energy prices. I mean, these are the most vile people. Let's play this clip. President Trump, 180 degrees different. American made US energy affordability for Americans and energy security. And then the ability right now for the US to be in a position where we've got the lowest energy prices in the world right now because of President Trump. And then Doug Bergam, Donald Trump's interior secretary wants everybody to know that
everything is working as planned. This is exactly what we've all wanted. And America's never been stronger. We're building up our alliances like never before. Here, play this clip. Energy, they want to buy energy from the United States. It's eight days by ship from LNG, for example, from Anchorage to Tokyo versus 30 days. If it even gets there from the Middle East, people are desperate to have the stronger relationship with the United States right now on energy. The President Trump's policies absolutely working to build alliances around the world. Yeah, the alliance seems to be the United States. Israel, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, Japan has a good relationship with us as well right now. And a lot of repair needed in Europe, Secretary Bergam. Wow, that's so utterly pathetic.
