Mackenzie and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a non verbal 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.

Donald Trump is panicking after what was perhaps the worst day of his already catastrophic war in Iran. As I reported Earlier, Donald Trump locked down the White House and kicked out the press all throughout yesterday into this morning. And now he has called yet another lid, kicking out the press. All day today, the press have been banned from getting anywhere near Donald Trump. Hugo Lowell and others are reporting Donald Trump is threatening now to rain hell down upon the Iranians if they don't make a deal with him in 48 hours. And then he says, glory be to God. One thing that we're very focused on right now at the Midas Touch Network is the status of that other Air Force pilot that was shot down with the F15E. And where is that individual right now? Just notably this morning, we learned that US Federal agents arrested the niece and grand niece of the late Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani after Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked their lawful permanent resident status, the State Department said on Saturday. And so trying to piece behind the scenes, I'm just curious if that was done because there are developments in Iran regarding that other pilot that we don't know about yet. And the US Brought in Soleimani's family or kidnapped Soleimani's family based on things that may be developing in Iran. I think you know what I'm talking about. I don't want to speculate. We're going to remain very focused on what's happening there. Let's just remain focused on what's being said. We're, let's take a look at what's happening, right? The facts, the receipts Donald Trump posted this morning. Remember when I gave Iran 10 days to make a deal or open up the Hormuz Strait? Time is running out. 48 hours before all hell will rain down on them. Glory be to God. Donald J. Trump. Glory be to God. While you say rain hell down on them again. The way he speaks is like a terrorist is a authoritarian. I mean, it is despicable to see this type of language being used by the leader of the United States right now. And to be honest with you, you've made so many fake deadlines and have announced so many fake deals, I don't think anybody knows what the hell you're even talking about anymore. Oh, it's two days, it's five days, it's a 10 day extension. Everybody knows that you're weak and pathetic and that you're a loser. You do this on Saturday, then on Monday when the markets open up, you change your mind and, and you know, we'll see if that happens again, but we'll be following it every step of the way. Also this morning, as Donald Trump makes those threats, he decides it's going to be a great idea to attack NATO again. In this ranting and raving post, attacking the New York Times and saying New York Times lacks credibility. And then he refers to NATO as, quote, our severely weakened and extremely unreliable. Then he puts further quotes partner NATO. And then Donald Trump goes on to, you know, further attack the New York Times and attack NATO. New footage is also coming in right now from the moment the United States and Israel destroyed the Karaj Bridge in Iran. I'm just going to show you this footage right now because as Donald Trump's like, we're going to rain hell on Iran. I mean, you've blown up elementary schools with little girls. You've destroyed dozens of universities in Iran on the first day of the war. You also destroyed a gymnasium in addition to an elementary school that was destroyed separately where lots of children were killed. Just in the past 12 hours, US and Israeli forces struck major Iranian petrochemical complexes in southwest Iran. Five petrochemical plants in the Mashhar area were targeted. We have photos of what that looks like as well. And the Bushir nuclear facility also was targeted again. And as Iranian Foreign Minister Arag, she says, remember when there was Western outrage about the hostilities near Zaprigious nuclear power plant in Ukraine? Well, Israel and US have bombed our Bushir plant four times now. Radioactive fallout will end life in GCC capitals, the Gulf Cooperation Council capitals, not Tehran. Attacks on our petrochemicals also convey your real objectives. Going back to that footage I was talking about, let me show you this new footage showing the moments of the bombing by US And Israel of the Courage Bridge. I mean, and you can just see how the US And Israel right now, by attacking the civilian infrastructure, you know, is behaving. Just, you can watch the video. Just watch for yourself. Here, play this clip.

A guy by the name of Danny Citroenitz who's in Israel, and he was one of their top Iranian analysts, top Middle east analysts for their security apparatus. His analysis has been pretty on point about the Iranian thinking and why the strategy by Trump and Netanyahu. Yahoo. Would not work. Would not work. Here's what he posted this morning. You've probably heard this before, Donald, what you're saying, it won't work. Iran will not surrender. The administration and the president do not fully grasp what drives the Islamic Republic. Faced with pressure, Iran is more likely to escalate than to concede. And so Trump's going to have to decide you're making these threats Are you going to escalate even more than you already are, or are you going to try to remove the, remove American troops and get out and cut your losses at this point and let Iran control the Strait of Hormuz like they do right now and just, just move on with it and accept that this was one of the most catastrophe, this was the most catastrophic international war, international and gate, whatever you want to call it in United States history. By far, Iran is responding. According to the Iranian state run Fars news agency, citing a spokesman for a key unit of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the country is getting ready to unveil new air defense systems on the battlefield against Israel. On the United States, the announcement comes only a day after Iran successfully down a US Air Force F15E Strike Eagle and a 10C Thunderbolt 2. As well as those two search and rescue helicopters were hit as well, those jolly green 2hh 6w 60w jolly greens that were over the area. And again, we are focused on the connection between the arrest of Solomon, his family, who were here on a green card, who weren't arrested before, Donald Trump calling the lid, kicking out the press again, shutting down the White House to the press again, and that missing pilot right now, and the links there. We're focused on that. Lindsey Graham posted the following. I just had a great conversation with Trump. I totally support his ultimatum to the Iranian regime to open up the Strait of Hormuz and to do a peace deal. A massive military operation awaits Iran if they choose poorly. This regime has been severely crippled through Operation Epic Fury. Their reign of terror against the region and the world needs to come to an end and hopefully through a peace deal. After speaking with Trump this morning, I am completely convinced that he will use overwhelming military force against the regime if they continue to impede the Strait of Hormuz and refuse a diplomatic solution to achieve our military objectives. If it's not clear to Iran and others by now that Trump means what he says, and I don't know it will ever be choose wisely again. You sound like a corny cartoon bad guy in the shows I would watch when I was five years old. Like, let's be clear, this doesn't project weakness. It projects. I mean, this doesn't project strength. It projects absolute weakness. I mean, we know the Lindsey Graham who's out there in Disney World with his little bubble maker right now doing whatever you were doing out there. And again, do you see in the language there the weakness Lindsey Graham was we're gonna take over Iran originally regime. Now he's like, can you open up the Strait of Hormuz? Donald Trump means what he says. Donald Trump means what he says, you know, And Iran's like, let's take a look at some of the latest American aircraft losses. F35 damage. F15 shot down. A10 Thunderbolt two shot down. E3G Sentry, the crown jewel of the US Air Force. Destroyed. Eight KC 135 tankers either destroyed or severely damaged. Unusable. 17 MQ9 Reaper drones destroyed. A UH60 Blackhawk damaged. And HH60G Pave Hawk. Two of those damaged. The CH47 Chinook destroyed. And there's probably a lot more as well. 13American air military bases in the Middle east evacuated right now. And what's Donald Trump doing? This isn't real video that Donald Trump posted. This is like Donald Trump's last appearance on video. He posts this strange video comparing himself to Jesus. Here, play this clip.

When somebody's nice to me, I love that person. Even if they're bad people, I couldn't care less. I'll fight to the end for them because the United States can't take care of daycare. On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem as crowds welcomed him with praise, honoring him as king. They call me king now. Do you believe it? Right. I'm a king. If I was a king, we'd be doing a lot more. I'm doing a lot, but I could be doing a lot more if I was a king. So if it doesn't happen, I'm blaming JD Vince. If it does happen, I'm taking full credit.

Meanwhile, Saeed Jalili, part of Iran's power structure, writes as follows. Why are reporters from the New York Times and Fox News not covering the achievements of victory claimed by trunk at Al Dha, Al Uday and Al Salam bases for American taxpayers? Perhaps it would be worthwhile for a delegation from the US Congress to, to observe these achievements firsthand at their bases in the Persian Gulf. He's being sarcastic because these bases have been abandoned by the United States military and they've been repeatedly hit by Iran while Donald Trump claims victory. We've destroyed all of Iran's capabilities. We've. We loiter over the air and rain down hell. They can't get any of our planes. They're what? They're going to use BB guns? No, they're. They're going to use the weapons that they're using now to shoot down the planes. They're going to use their ballistic missiles to hit the Arab nation, neighbors and to hit Israel in retaliation for your invasion. They're going to use their FPV drones, they're going to use their shahed drones, they're going to utilize their Shiite militia groups in Iraq, they're going to utilize the Houthis in Yemen. And we saw yesterday the parliament leader of Iran, Gallobaaf, saying it would be nice. We'll see how long until we activate the Houthis in Yemen who depends upon the Red Sea for shipments. And if they can shut down the Red Sea, that'll be catastrophic. That's what's gonna be happening right there. And then, you know, you see, I did a video on it this morning, but we see all of these countries that are doing bilateral deals right now with Iran, for example. You know, I talked about, you know, it seems that France cut some deal in order to get it shipped. Japan, and now we're seeing Austria. Austria's foreign minister spoke with Iran's foreign minister, Iraqi, and said we had a productive conversation. Diplomatic solutions, de escalation, that's where this is all heading. Iran's actually never been more powerful on the global stage. Just the reality. You may not like what I'm saying. It's just the truth, the truth of what's happening.
