My name's Mackenzie and I started to go fund me for the adoptive mother of a non-verbal, autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find out what 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.

We are learning about more US service members who have been killed in combat. The number is now officially seven service members killed in combat that we are aware of. Remember the Trump regime lies. I just want to say that also apparently an eighth service member died apparently through circumstances that the Trump regime is not giving any details on so eight service members actually dead in this war against Iran. We are now seeing the single largest oil shock in world history right now. We're losing about 20 million barrels of oil supply per day with the hermous straight being closed. Dessentially based on this war against Iran in addition markets are crashing all throughout
Asia Australia throughout the entire world stock markets are crashing the US futures as of last night was absolutely crashing the Dow Nasdaq S&P down more than 2% and that looked like it was going to get worse and worse by the minute and speaking about by the minute the price of oil exceeding $115 per barrel. We're likely going to see four to five dollar a gallon gasoline on average here in the United States and the price of diesel is going to be even more than that. I mean you look at some of the markets yesterday whether it was South Korea's market down 7% Taiwan 6% Japan 6% Australia 4% a global economic meltdown caused by Donald Trump and his despicable regime yesterday Donald Trump was golfing at Doral his resort in my
Miami Florida and he was forcing people to clap for him as he would walk around and then he would frantically call reporters like he even called the times of Israel to say look how great I'm doing isn't this amazing to which the times of Israel reporters said well when does this end you know are you able to withdraw on your own or do you have to wait for Netanyahu in order for this war against Iran to end because the global devastation that you're causing is absolutely massive right now and Trump says you know it'll be a mutual decision me and Netanyahu are going to figure it out together. Trump says how great is Netanyahu he's doing an amazing job an amazing job what the hell are you talking about it doesn't get much more catastrophic and devastating than this you know interestingly Lindsey Graham who is out there saying we're yesterday morning and the morning shows we're going to bomb the hell out of Iran we're going to bomb the hell out of you
when more details I guess came out about how Israel was targeting these oil depots in Iran basically turning all of Iran into what looks like a like nuclear winter the entire country was engulfed in these black clouds from the oil and just thinking about not just the thousands of people who have been killed in Iran by the United States and Israel right now but in the future the people who are going to get cancers and other illnesses as a result of what has transpired I mean you saw those images yesterday in Tehran where as a result of the oil being blown up these oil depots being blown up by Israel and seeping into the sewage you had basically this ignition moment where the flames like literally engulfed the whole of Tehran and meanwhile in Tehran and in Iran proper in general as you know they've elected a new Ayatollah Manchaba
the son of the old Ayatollah and you had people now who were even against the Ayatollah in Iran very supportive of it this of this regime now rallying around the Ayatollah rallying around Iranian nationalism trump lost the people who were out there even protesting against the Ayatollah before and a lot of the chance you're hearing in the street is we now got a younger Ayatollah was come any who was 84 85 years old we now have his son his son Manchaba who's the new Ayatollah was greeted with huge applause in the streets I mean the people of Iran are more entrenched than ever right now against the United States everything that trump in his regime and Netanyahu's done has absolutely backfires and Manchaba's more extremist more of a zealot more of a hardliner than even his father Ayatollah and his father's been killed and all of his family members have been killed by the
Trump regime in the United States so you think this guy is going to be out there doing negotiations with the United States Trump and the United States and Trump's regime at this point wants desperately to get a ceasefire but Iran's like why would we do a ceasefire with you right now at all we see that you're bringing down the global markets you have destroyed all of your alliances you have not been able to defeat Iran Iran just picked its new Ayatollah they showed that they could have this transition of power and sure the United States and Israel you're hitting Iran hard you're blowing up oil depots and desalination posts but Iran's like well we'll strike back also we'll hit the desalination posts of Bahrain and some of the Middle East neighbors you know one of the big issues in the Middle East even bigger than oil which right now is an utter disaster as you basically have all of the nations in the Middle East shutting down productions of oil but desalination is like the biggest issue purified water they don't have a lot of water in the desert
or purified water out there so when Israel goes and attacks Iran's desalination Iran's plan was okay well now we're going to hit the desalination in Bahrain and all of the neighbors and we can knock out all of the water that goes to example to Bahrain or Qatar or Saudi Arabia or United Arab Emirates and we shut down the water you kill people because the people aren't able to drink people are unable to access water so this massive global crisis has been unleashed by Donald Trump and his despicable regime right now and the people of Iran more entrenched against Trump in this regime than ever before and what's Donald Trump doing again he was walking around morale his resort in Miami Florida yesterday golfing and sending messages like this this is a real post from Donald Trump last night short term oil prices which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over is a very small price to pay for USA and world safety and peace
only fools would think differently president DJ T remember when he was in charge during COVID or I should say was not in charge but was in the oval office during COVID like a miracle it's all going to go away will bend the curve by Easter it's all going away I promise you he is a liar so as I mentioned he called times of Israel and he was asked by the times of Israel reporter whether he alone would decide when the war with the run ends or if Netanyahu would also have a say Donald Trump says again while he's walking around his property in Doral I think it's mutual a little bit we've been talking I'll make a decision at the right time but everything's going to be taken into account as whether Israel could continue the war against Iran even after the US decides to halt its strikes Trump declined to entertain the theoretical possibility before adding I don't think it's going to be necessary Donald Trump went on to say that he thinks that he goes we'll see what
happens regarding the new Ayatollah Munchaba what else to Donald Trump say in this interview regarding Netanyahu Donald Trump said this was on Sunday Donald Trump said Netanyahu and I have done a great job together like what we're doing with Iran right now Donald Trump then says Iran was going to destroy Israel and everything else around it now look what we have look what we have done we have destroyed them and Trump says he's not surprised by how widespread support for Iran war is in Israel joking that the only thing more popular there is his own favor abilities he says that he's joking he Donald Trump thinks this is all a one big one big funny thing right here especially as we learn more and more details that yes indeed the United States blew up the elementary school in Manab in Iran it was our Tomahawk missiles that did it it's basically undisputed at this point
and our regime is just covering up and I don't want I don't want to have to like I convey that news to that's what I do that telling you the truth it's tragic it's sad to me that that is something that's catastrophic that has happened but that is what the United States is that's what we become that's what we are that under the Trump regime you know and and and and it it it brings absolute pain to me Donald Trump goes babies done a great job he's a wartime prime minister look at how well we work together many people will disarm because of the war against Iran right now Iran is in a position that it's never known before and it's only going to get worse for them really because let me show you what's going on in Tehran right now where you can see the chance that are going on in the streets right now while Donald Trump was out there saying that here you have the people out there with the announcement of the new Ayatollah saying here I am at your service Kamehni here play this clip
and here the people are shouting in favor of having Kamehni be the next Ayatollah you can see for yourself now contrast that to Donald Trump in Doral at his resort as guest clapped for him as he was golfing while he was doing all of this play this clip now also on Donald Trump social media platform they are running ads so he's taking paid ads that say should we stop attacks on Iran yes or no and when you click the ad it then brings you to a place where you can buy golden Trump products right now also in addition to the U.S.
casualties Israel sustaining casualties Israel is talking about how the war that it's involved in in southern Lebanon right now is going to take a long time two soldiers at least died in southern Lebanon right now and many others injured we also don't fully know how many American soldiers really have been seriously wounded in addition to eight dead the Trump regime is saying nine but the Trump regime lies about everything oh and regarding the possibility of people getting drafted Trump's not ruling out a draft and ground troops and a draft here's Donald Trump's chief propagandist Caroline Levitt not ruling out the draft let's play it yeah and and the president had an interesting exchange on Air Force one over the weekend Caroline I'm going to get your take about this idea of troops on the ground mothers out there are worried that we're going to have a draft that they're going to see their sons get in and daughters get
involved in this what do you want to say about the president's plans for troops on the ground as we know it's been largely an air campaign up until now it has been and it will continue to be and president trump wisely does not remove options off of the table I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly but the president as commander in chief wants to continue to assess the success of this military operation it's not part of the current plan right now but the president again wisely keeps his options on the table in addition here's Pete Hegsif when he was asked on CBS yesterday about whether he can assure the american people that the united states did not strike the elementary school in minab killing 150 children and like over 180 50 185 people total by the way our intelligent service of telling members of congress that united states did it it's been independently confirmed
over and over again if you look at the crater sites of where the tomahawk missile struck you'll see nearby like a few blocks away there's a ronnie and revolutionary guard corps buildings and other and other buildings like that and so you see whatever was used to target it specifically picked all of these buildings in the surrounding area to blow up and you can see the tomahawk craters anyway here's what hegsif had to say let's play it you asked earlier in the week about this girl school you said the u.s. was investigating it have you made any conclusions about whether not the united states inadvertently or not was involved in any military strike at that school well we're still investigating and that's where i'll leave it today but what i will emphasize to you into the world is that unlike our adversaries the iranians we never target civilians there was a report late in the week from two officials that it was likely u.s. involvement is that report false i've already said we're investigating if you could tell the american public it definitively was not
us you would tell us wouldn't i would i would say that it's being investigated which is the only um yeah as i noted earlier this is the largest oil supply shock in history losing 20 million barrels a day the top oil supply shocks in history right now the strait of her moose closure 20 million barrels a day the next closest thing was the iranian revolution in 1978 where there was a five point five million barrel a day lost in the russia you crane war in 2022 there were two point there were about two million barrels a day that were that were lost then um you know i just think about other statements that donald trump's made over time as well like remember october first twenty twenty four when donald trump said oil is up the world is crashing we need trump that's what he said then or how about when he was in office on july 1st 2025 donald trump says he's waiting for lower oil prices to fill up the country strategic petroleum reserve we think it's going
to get lower when the market is right we'll fill it up so he screwed us also by not filling up the strategic reserve when he should have filled up the strategic reserve um you know again in every aspect i go i so i want to go through this in detail with you so you can just uh see it for yourself uh peace by peace right here anyway well oh well all i'll mention this while all of this is taking place donald trump's private business the trump org filed trademarks to put donald trump's name front and center at america's 250th in one filing submitted on friday this is where his priorities are a trump 250 image was trademark to be used on a variety of merchandise by the way including putting his name on the american flag trump 250 over the american flag and this is how they're going to grift and make you know additional money all it's all one gigantic grift from this trump regime and i also mentioned america's the vat united states evacuating its Saudi Arabia
embassy um as i mentioned before guitar uh arach uh Kuwait essentially shutting down uh it's production of oil because it can't store it anymore you know it can't send the oil out so it's storage facilities are full so therefore it can't keep producing because the it has to go and be transported somewhere so they don't have any more place to put the oil so they have to shut down the production and this is where we're at right now markets crashing the price of oil surging past $115 a barrel international markets crashing by the way bitcoin crashing uh even even areas like golden silver are doing well right now um again what what what what an absolute disaster from this trump regime will keep you posted every step of the way it's the latest developments thanks for watching hit subscribe let's get to seven million subscribers please
