My name is Mackenzie, and I started a GoFundMe 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.

It's not looking good for Donald right now. His health continues to rapidly deteriorate. His cognitive abilities, his motor functions, his physical appearance, it's all unraveling. At the same time, he's also getting crushed by his cover-up of the Epstein files. And there's an important connection there as well. Because when you read the Epstein files, you had some of Donald Trump's closest aides speaking to Jeffrey Epstein, like Steve Bannon, basically working with Epstein on a plan to try to get Mike Pence to resign, move in Mike Pompeo, invoke the 25th Amendment against Donald Trump, move in Pompeo to become the president. And it seemed that some of Donald Trump's closest advisors during his first term were saying that he had dementia and the 25th amendment needed to be invoked during Donald Trump's first term. We'll go through that. Even Newsmax did a special today where they were attacking Bannon and saying, wait a minute, Bannon was behind all of the rumors internally that the 25th amendment needed to be invoked. And that was Bannon and Epstein talking about that. You know, also you have Donald Trump talking about how the Potomac River smells like poop and that there's all this sewage in it. And he keeps blaming Maryland and says, basically, it's feces coming from Maryland. And that that's why it stinks in Washington, D.C. right now. And he's like, it's the pipes. It's Governor Moore and his pipes in Maryland. And it's like, do you even know where the Potomac is? Like, do you know that it's in D.C. and it's under the control of the federal government? You have Governor Wes Moore, who's like, yeah, these are like deeply unserious people. You don't know where the Potomac is. You don't know where your own water is. It's under federal control. And Moore is like, Governor Moore is like, you're blaming me? We try to send some people in to help you because you didn't know how to clean your own feces in Washington, D.C. So we tried to now you're blaming you're blaming us. I mean, look at what Donald Trump's hand looked like yesterday. It as bad as we seen it Aaron Rupar posted this photo Look how discolored it is As this other account says the media complete and utter lack of interest in finding out what's going on with Donald Trump's hand when they spent every day of Joe Biden's presidency idly speculating that he had dementia is effing infuriating. I agree, but guess what? We're the media now, okay? More people watch the Midas Touch Network than any other news media. Midas Touch was yet again the number one podcast on the YouTube charts, beating Candace Owens and Joe Rogan. And then last week, we beat Joe Rogan two weeks in a row. By the way, hit subscribe to our YouTube channel. Help us get to 6 million subscribers. We're so close. Hit subscribe. But then yesterday, as Donald Trump was, you know, you saw the way his hand look, you saw his physical features. So he's giving a speech yesterday, and he just starts talking about Nicki Minaj, like the rapper, like how beautiful he thinks she is. And her skin is so soft and her nails are so long and she's just so beautiful. And Trump is like slurring his words. He's like, I won't do the impression, but he's like, Nicki Minaj, she's so beautiful. Here, play this clip. I love Nicki Minaj. She was here a couple of weeks ago. She's so beautiful. Her skin's so beautiful. I said, Nicki is so beautiful. Her nails, her nails are like that long. I said, I said, Nikki, are they real? And she said, she didn't want to get into that. Okay, now just look at what he's posting as well. Again, you heard what he said about Nicki Minaj. He's posting memes like this. I will be the one to shut it down. He's posting AI images of his golden ballroom. He's posting, we'll be the greatest ballroom ever built. now rising at the side of the White House, fully paid for by American patriot donors, zero costs to the United States taxpayers. You looked at the Epstein files. Yeah, we talk about it here a lot. Here are the messages from Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein. Here's what they were talking about it. They were saying, and no soldiers in the fort. He is really borderline. Not sure what he may do. They're referring to Donald Trump being borderline dementia. They go on to say, going to blow him up right out of the box. White House has zero plan to punch back. Ford Apache with no Calvary in route. Spoke to my Dems this weekend. Boy, our emotions running high. No, it does not stand for F and blow. F and B director. I'm back in the F&B biz only. We are either 2019 or it will surely own us. Hell of a year. You have Marjorie Taylor Greene who's out there saying Steve Bannon went to jail for Trump, but back on January 1st, 2019, he was texting Epstein about the 25th Amendment. Also, there is no excuse for having such a friendly relationship with Epstein. And you look at these messages and they're talking about invoking the 25th Amendment right here on Donald Trump. You have Mike Flynn saying the White House or at least the DOJ needs to come out and say what they plan on doing. I remember all the 25th Amendment talk in the first term. It was really ugly. And if Bannon and Epstein were behind it, Bannon needs to be brought in for questioning. This is what they were saying on Newsmax. You had Higby talking about Bannon and talking about the plan between Bannon and Mike Pompeo to replace Pence and invoke the 25th Amendment. This is what Trump's people were talking about. And Epstein was in the center helping Trump's first cabinet and helping some of Trump's advisors try to get rid of Trump with the 25th Amendment because they thought Trump had dementia. I mean, there are emails here from Epstein saying some at dinner with Donald Trump last night were concerned about dementia. Tons of makeup did not recognize old friends. And that's one of the things that we're seeing right now as well. Here's the Newsmax piece here. Play this clip. And then they told us all throughout the next four years that our tech was secure and it was the most secure election ever after bragging about meeting with the people who Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon claimed could hack our elections. Their words, not mine. Make it make sense. but why was bannon or any other officials in any other role meeting with people who according to these emails were doing or trying to do or possess the power to do all that let's look at some of the other stuff from these files too that even goes crazier than this stuff with bannon why was he talking about replacing trump swapping pompeo as the vp with mike pence and then using the 25th amendment to make Pompeo the president. These are text messages with what is assumed to be Epstein confirmed to be with Bannon quote I like the idea of Pence stepping down in favor of Pompeo so when it happens he becomes president That from allegedly Epstein And I thinking it What do you mean by it? Bannon responding, that is his name, has this been shopped? Epstein replies, Rudy did lay out impeachment, Pelosi vote, and don't go after Ivanka. Bannon says, great great impeaching Trump well I mean we now know Pompeo was not a product of MAGA doctrine and was heavily critical of Trump once he left his first term showing his true colors and Bannon wanted him to become president I mean am I reading that there's a possibility that Bannon did nothing wrong and these are being misinterpreted there's a possibility giving him the benefit of the doubt here considering he was like, I defended this guy. I thought he was good for the administration initially. But there's some splainer to do about beyond talking about a documentary to revitalize Jeffrey Epstein's image.

M-E-I-D-A-S. Also during Donald Trump's press conference yesterday, He kept on talking about Mike Tyson and saying that Mike Tyson loves him. Here, play this clip. You talk about a piece of work, but he could fight, couldn't he, huh? Mike Tyson, boy, I tell you, Mike has been loyal to me. Whenever they come out, they say, Trump's a racist. You know, it's like a statement. Trump's a racist. Mike Tyson goes, he's not a racist. He's my friend. He's been there from the beginning. Good times and bad. But Mike Tyson's a great guy, and he was so loyal, always been loyal. and Herschel Walker speaking about loyal how good a football player was Herschel Herschel Walker now he's ambassador to the Bahamas I don't know Bahamas Bermuda is he Bahamas whatever it's nice a nice place you'd like that Bruce wouldn't you Bruce wants it and a friend a guy became really he liked Trump Jim Brown it was tough he'd come in he was very silent he was silent but deadly he'd come in And he'd look at people, and if he didn't like them, he'd just look at me, and he'd go, no good. He wanted to rip their heart out. I would say there can't be a better football, a greater football player than Jim Brown. By the way, Lawrence Taylor, great friend. The great Lawrence Taylor, the greatest defensive player probably in the history of football. He's a great friend of mine. But I'm longer off the tee than him. You know why? Because they take the club back further. He takes the club back this far, and he hits it 200 yards. When you can do that, you're strong. He's a great guy, I'll tell you that. Here's how Governor Wes Moore referred to when Donald Trump keeps talking about the Potomac smelling and there being all this sewage and this scent. Governor Moore's like, this guy's like just deeply unserious. Here play this clip. This is not a serious team that we're working with. we're talking about a DC pipe on federal land, right? The area that we're talking about, that has been under federal control for the past century. And so any indication or any insinuation that somehow this is a Maryland issue or a Virginia issue is ridiculous. This is a DC pipe on federal land. The only difference is the reason that I ordered our team to be able to support Washington DC in their effort on the cleanup was one, I did not want contagion. that would impact the people of Maryland. And second, I believe in actually helping our neighbors. And when our neighbors needed help, I instructed our team to assist them and help them. And this is in January we started this process that for now the past week, there is no overflow that is taking place from that jurisdiction And now now the White House wants to get involved even though I was doing we were doing their job for the past month And so if the president wants me to ask nicely here my nice ask to the president Mr. President, please do your job. I want you to think now also about how foreign leaders are viewing Donald Trump in this regime and how weak they're viewing him. Just think about this. We know, undisputed, Steve Bannon, behind the scenes, is apparently talking to Epstein about potentially invoking the 25th Amendment. He's saying all these horrible things about Donald Trump. And so when Donald Trump learns about this from the Epstein files, what does Donald Trump do? Does he seek retribution against Bannon? No, quite the contrary. Donald Trump makes posts about Steve Bannon, praising Bannon and saying that Bannon and Peter Navarro were being treated so unfairly. So Trump praises Bannon. Then Trump has Jeanine Pirro from his DOJ dismiss criminal charges against Bannon when Bannon was convicted of contempt of Congress. So Bannon gets a reward because Trump is afraid that Bannon has the dirt on Trump. Now, if you're Xi Jinping or Putin or Delcey Rodriguez, or you name the world leader, and you're watching Trump's behavior with Bannon, or you're watching Trump's behavior with Ghislaine Maxwell, right? Ghislaine gets rewarded. She gets moved to club fed. She gets VIP treatment in Camp Ryan, Texas. Bannon gets all of these rewards for basically, in my opinion, shaking Trump down. So how do you think other countries are reacting to that? Right. You have Xi Jinping saying, well, Donald, I'm not going to meet with you in April unless you agree not to give any more arms to Taiwan. If you want to meet me in China the way Carney and Starmer and all these other world leaders and Macron and other world leaders have met me, then you got to not give arms to Taiwan. And now a major U.S. arms sales package for Taiwan is in limbo because Xi Jinping knows the levers. By the way, right now in Iran, I don't know if you know this, right? Trump's threatening war in Iran. He sent two aircraft carriers there. We have dozens of ships. Like there's a massive buildup right now. Did you know that China and Russia are doing military drills with Iran in the Strait of Hermes right now to stand, to show force? Do you know that's going on right now there? They sense weakness in Donald Trump is what they sense. Did you know Delce Rodriguez, who's now the leader of Venezuela, the authoritarian, she was the right hand of Maduro? here's what uh hermenia rodriguez paleo writes the delcy rodriguez dictatorship quote freed journalist rory barker and then charged him with five new fake crimes the next day it's becoming more evident every day the chavista tyranny has no intention of stopping its brutality venezuelan journalist rory brankers accused of five charges the day after his release Brinker would be subject to restrictions, including a ban on leaving the country and speaking with the press. So do you see what's going on there? It's all one big gigantic fake. And meanwhile, while Donald Trump's in this state, whatever the hell you want to call it, here's the New York Times headline. Trump bets on diplomacy without diplomats. President Trump's most trusted envoy, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, are at the center of the Iran and Ukraine negotiations. Why? They have no experience. Why do we have these two people? Why do we have Witkoff and Kushner at the heart of these negotiations? Why? Not actual diplomats? Do you know how pathetic this all looks? How weak this all looks? and he's talking about Nicki Minaj's nails. You got Bannon talking to Epstein about 25th Amendment. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million.
