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.

We have some news right now. Iran is thinking the president of the United States today because
Donald Trump is seemingly giving Iran everything it wants and potentially more.
As negotiations are ongoing right now to end this war, the United States is in a worse off
position today than we were before we started the war. Because when we started the war,
the Strait of Ormuz was open for business. US ships, US tankers, European tankers, Asian tankers,
the Gulf states were able to pass through. The Strait was open. Now, the Strait will be reopened,
although Iran is saying we're claiming victory here because we're now going to be able to
charge people coming through the Strait. It's going to be more expensive to get oil from Iran.
Iran is going to get a windfall before they were ongoing negotiations about possibly ending
nuclear enrichment for Iran. Iran even put forth the idea of ending its ballistic missiles program.
Well, now that seemingly is off the table. Lots of news right now, but Iran is getting what it wants.
And Donald Trump is even potentially giving pallets of cash to Iran. Now, if that statement
sounds familiar to you, it's because Republicans attacked President Obama for giving pallets of
cash in their words to Iran as part of the Iran nuclear deal way back when it was first executed.

you the news in real time. So today, Iran has announced that the Strait of Ormuz has been opened.
Again, unconditionally for the freedom of navigation for ships to go through. Why? Because the
condition for the reopening of the Strait occurred. The Lebanese government and the Israeli
government, they executed a ceasefire, Hasfala signed off on it, and it's holding. Now that
Lebanon is part of the ceasefire, Iran says we're going to reopen the Strait. And Donald Trump
acknowledged that saying that Iran has reopened the Strait, but he went further and says that
Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Ormuz again. It will no longer be used as a weapon
against the world. He can't actually enforce that. If Iran tomorrow wants to close the Strait of
Ormuz, it will be able to close the Strait of Ormuz. It's funny. I spoke to a lot of people,
and Iran may not have an actual nuclear weapon, but the Strait of Ormuz is as close to a nuclear
weapon as you can get. Because when Iran closed the Strait of Ormuz, it completely tanked. The
President's support here in America. It skyrocketed gas prices in America and across the world.
It completely upended the global economy. And so this is Iran's nuclear weapon. And Trump
continued to say, quote, Iran with the help of the United States has removed or is removing all
sea mines. Thank you. Okay, that's positive news. But then here we go. After Iran announced that
it was going to reopen the Strait. Trump says this, the Strait of Ormuz is completely open and ready
for business and full passage, but the naval blockade will remain in full force and effect as a
pertains to Iran only until such time as our transaction with Iran is 100% complete. This process
should go very quickly and that most of the points are already negotiated. Thank you for your
attention to this matter. So Iran upheld its part of the deal. Trump, meanwhile saying,
no, pause. We're going to continue blockading while Iran now is saying, okay, well, if you're going
to continue this blockade, even as it relates just to Iran, we're just going to close the Strait of
Ormuz down again. Because nothing in these negotiations is completely binding on either party,
unless they really want it to be. And now Iran is saying, quote, the announcement of the opening
of the Strait of Ormuz has been made under completely specific conditions and in full coordination
with the forces responsible for the matter. And it will be practically be highly limited.
This passage, which is contingent on the continued implementation of the ceasefire conditions,
will have three conditions. First, the passage will take place along the route designated by
Iran and tree into the Strait will be from the north of Lark Island and exit from the Strait will
be from the south of Lark. And in this way, the Strait of Ormuz will be fully transferred to Iran's
territorial waters. This is a historic, unprecedented, enduring change in the Persian Gulf ensuring
Iran's sovereignty over the Strait forever. So Iran is saying, first, hold up. We now get full
control of the Strait of Ormuz. United States, thank you for giving us something we did not have
before we now have full control of the ship. In this manner, Iran is in fact carrying out an
unprecedented, quote, rerouting operation in the Strait. The second condition, which is also
mentioned in the Foreign Minister's tweet, is that only commercial ships will have the right
to pass through the Strait. The determination of which ships are commercial will be up to Iran.
And this will naturally exclude any vessels with connections to the enemy.
Thus making the passage practically limited by Iran's determination and not free.
Passing commercial vessels will be also required to pay Iran tolls for security provision.
So Iran is saying, you know what? We can declare any American ship not to be commercial
any European and Israeli ship not to be a commercial vessel because they're part of the enemy.
Okay, so Iran is actually controlling who's coming in and out, despite with Donald Trump's claim.
The third condition is that the passage will be carried out in coordination with Iran's forces,
responsible for navigation in the Strait, namely the IRGC Navy. Considering all these conditions
together, passage to the Strait will be limited, subject to toll payments, and managed by Iran.
And this is precisely what Iran has been pushing or pursuing since the beginning of the war and
is now imposing on America. Literally, everything Iran wanted from the beginning of the war.
It's getting. It's actually getting in real time even more than previously what it had
because at the beginning of the war, Iran didn't have full control over the
Strait of War moves. At the beginning of the war, Iran wasn't able to charge tolls or
determine what a commercial ship is or isn't because the definition of commercial could be
whatever Iran wants. Iran could say nothing the United States tries to put through as a commercial ship.
Right? They didn't have that at the beginning of the war.
And then it's going to be carried out. The IRGC Navy is going to help with navigation.
So the Iranian military is going to be the one deciding who's coming in, who's coming out,
etc. Why? When? How? Literally in control of the Strait. That's not what the United States wanted.
That's not what Donald Trump wanted. That's not what the United States had. And yet that's what
we got as part of these negotiations. And Iran is trolling Trump.
Saying, quote, bad mood equals Strait of Trump. Normal mood, Strait of War moves. Good mood equals
Strait of Iran because today Trump calls it the Strait of Iran when he was announcing that Iran
completely opened it. Now Trump for his part is going to attack the media. Right? He's going to
attack the media. But when you look at the deal according to Axios, it's being negotiated.
One element under discussion is that the United States would release $20 billion in frozen
Iranian funds and return for Iran giving up its stockpile of enriched uranium. That right there
is huge. Where we would literally be unfreeze and giving $20 billion to the Iranian government,
the same Iranian government that Trump says has terrorized Americans for 47 years, 47 years.
So here we are. It's a bad deal what's happening right now for the United States of America.
