We have got to talk about what is going on with the USS Abraham Lincoln.
And as we get reports that they are rationing food, that there is no fresh produce, that there is mold, that they have gone weeks at a time without hot showers, that morale is at an all-time low.
Donald Trump got in front of a camera yesterday and was asked about this and he said, frankly, I don't think the deployment has been long enough.
They have been out at sea without touching land for over 250 days.
over eight months now.
And that's got to be some type of record.
CNN was actually on the phone with a family member of somebody who is on the ship,
of a service member on the ship.
And she was asked, that mother was asked,
what do you think about Donald Trump saying it's not a big deal slash they should be deployed much longer?
She had some pretty choice words that you have got to hear.
So let's break this down.
The USS Abraham Lincoln is grinding its crew into the ground.
Navy is admitting the logistics are broken. This is happening for two reasons, because Donald
J. Trump and Pete Hegseth are completely and totally incompetent. And number two, because
Donald Trump obviously only cares about himself and he has gotten himself stuck in this war with
Iran, where Iran knows he's desperate, so they will not give him an off ramp to get out.
And he can't get even more aggressive like I predict he wants to because the U.S. is running
dangerously low on defensive weapon capabilities, Patriot missiles.
and THAAD missiles, so his generals have pretty much said you can't get any more aggressive or
things could get very, very ugly. Sailors reportedly face spoiled food, broken toilets, mold,
and months without fresh supplies, again, over 250 days. The logistics before I share you this
video, after Iran hit the Bahrain logistics hub, supplies now travel thousands of miles instead of
hundreds. Two carriers are carrying a wartime load with a peacetime supply chain. This is what happens
when you have loyalists like Pete Hegseth who are far from qualified to have this job running
this stuff.
This is what happens to our service members because Pete Hegseth has no idea what he's doing.
The deeper problem is the Navy is sustaining a high-tempo conflict with ships and crews
built for shorter deployments.
The crew is paying the price right now while the long-term bill keeps growing.
So basically, normally supplies would not have to travel that far for this ship, but because
of the Iranian war and certain things.
ports Iran has attacked, certain ports being, Iran being at least able to attack, logistics
have become much more difficult. This was Donald Trump the other day, like I said, talking
about this. Take a listen.
Service members are completely... Well, no, that ship is going. We know they're not. They're
not. No, no, no. Not nearly long enough, he says. And again, we have a confirmed
report now of at least one service member who attempted to jump overboard and take his own life
because of the conditions. That's a man who has served, excuse me, thank God he is okay,
has served for over 13 years in the military. And now he's very scared that he's going to get a
dishonorable discharge because of this. This should be on the front page of every single
major media website everywhere, because it is a disgrace. So let's listen CNN interviewing a family
member of one of these service members. Before I hit play here, it would mean so much. If you hit like,

If you appreciate the fact that we're not going to let stories like this go, the Adam
Mockler channel, we're always growing, we're always trying to bring you guys the news from a
Gen Z perspective, cut through a lot of the MAGA BS. And this is something that should be
talked about far more. And Adam and I genuinely care about this country a lot, and that's
why we're talking about it. We appreciate all the support lately. Take a listen.
What was your reaction today to President Trump saying that, in fact, he didn't think the USS Lincoln's deployment has been, quote, long enough?
Oh, my God. I don't think the man thinks before he talks. And I'm just, I'm really hope, I was really hoping that at some point there would be a redemption.
Try to redeem yourself at least a little bit with everything that you do and everything that you say. And try to redeem yourself. Have some sympathy, some empathy, take some accountability.
for what's going on with your military, your ships in your war, in your war.
It's infuriating.
I mean, we heard what Heggsap said yesterday, what the president is saying today, it's
infuriating, essentially saying that families are lying and service members are lying,
even though the proof is right here on my phone, it is not fabricated, nobody is lying.
Everybody is, is, it's infuriating that they're not.
not taking accountability and not having any sort of sympathy for our service members that they
claim to scream and shout that they support when it's politically, you know, sound for them
to use support our troops, support our troops until our troops need support.
And now suddenly everyone's lying and it's a fabrication and it's a misrepresentation.
It's infuriating.
And I so badly would love to plaster my face and blow the whistle so loud.
on social media with my name and be like, this is real.
We are real people.
Those are real people on that ship.
This is actually happening.
But unfortunately, I have to protect my husband's career.
And, you know, he's making a career out of this, or he was.
I'm not sure what he's going to do when he gets back.
Wow.
So, again, that was the wife of somebody who is currently on board the ship.
And the other thing that is so disheartening is, again, she can't speak out about this because it would risk her husband and his career, but also the safety implication.
Maga will come after these people. Maga will dox these people.
I don't know. I honestly am at a loss for words, really.
This should make everybody's blood boil. And what makes it so much worse is that it's been normalized a little bit more.
more from this very brave woman. Take a listen. My understanding is that morale is really bad for any
number of reasons, not just in terms of people not being chipper, but just a workload,
nonstop, no real effort to understand morale. There hasn't been a port call in more than 200
days, so they've been at sea the entire time. And this might explain why some of the sailors have
been jumping overboard. There hasn't been a port call in more than 200 days, so they've been at sea
the entire time. And this might explain why some of the sailors have been jumping overboard.
Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. My husband is a very leave-it-out-work type of person. He gets his job
done. He comes home, and he lets it go at work. He does his best. He works very hard for the United
States military and he's even said that he finds himself changing. He feels himself being angrier and a little
bit more and more frustrated and that's just very unlike him. So it's very hard to hear that as his wife
when I can't do anything about it. I can't help him. The only thing that I'm able to do is send him
care packages. Exactly. And here's the thing about those care packages is as of right now,
there's a lot of confusion about why packages cannot reach currently this ship.
So we've heard from other family members that they hear when they can communicate with their loved ones.
Moral's really low.
We're rationing food.
We're lacking supplies.
And obviously, if you are a family member, the first thing you do is, okay, what can I get you?
So it's a combination of trying to feed them, but also increase morale.
Like here's some fun candy and snacks and also food, blanket.
It's whatever you need.
That shipping is incredibly expensive.
I read one report from a service, from a family member of somebody on the ship who said they spent over $500, $500 shipping this material.
And it never got there.
It's just been sitting.
And Pete Higgs says saying, due to certain circumstances, we can't currently deliver these packages.
I mean, it is so, so, so atrocious.
And try to give him some positive, send him pictures from back home of our kids.
to try to boost his morale and keep him strong.
Because when you're stuck in a floating metal prison, essentially,
in the middle of the water, eating prison-like food
with the same people in the same bunk beds
in the same small quarters for 200 days, 250 days,
you start to go a little insane.
Exactly.
What a courageous woman,
on CNN and talking, we so appreciate her. We also heard from Midas Touch exclusive family members
share with Midas Touch that women aboard the USS Boxer, a different ship, have been, quote,
begging for extra pads and tampons as basic feminine hygiene supplies run out at sea.
Again, this extended war with Iran that Donald Trump made a grave miscalculation in believing
it would only be two to three weeks is starting to really, really weigh on the logistics and the
supplies here of ships that have been at sea. Of course, this administration doesn't care at all about
women. That would be their last concern. This is directly from Aaron Parnas, actually. Family member
here, family and friends on the boxer have been out so long and aren't receiving care packages.
Women have run out of feminine hygiene items due to no resupplies happening. They pack enough
and some extra for deployment, but not for all the extensions and no port calls. Again, 250 days. I know
this is separate, the boxer, but just to give some context, 250 days for the USS Abraham Lincoln is
near record setting. They were begging us to send them extra pads and tampons so they could share them
out, but none, again, of the packages have been delivered. We don't know why still. The incompetence
runs so high. Female sailors on the USS Boxer are begging for tampons and pads. If are anyone
responsible for this, starting with Pete Hegg said, this guy will go down as one of the biggest
disgraces in American history, no question. Trump is hiding out at his golf course, posting pirate
memes while our sailors on the Abraham Lincoln are eating mystery mush and running out of basic supplies.
he's telling the Supreme Court his golden ballroom is a shield against Iranian missiles.
Yeah, well, Donald Trump gets DEL and golf every single goddamn weekend.
Our service members are being, excuse my language here, treated like effing shit.
Pete Hegseth says that the conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln have been exaggerated.
That is the word from the administration.
You couldn't say anything separate even if he believed it because it's politics.
He will get fired.
Fired. So disgusting.
A real leader would be flying his ass out to the USS Abraham Lincoln to talk.
with these stalers instead of calling them liars on national TV. Pete Hegseth is such a pile of
shit. I'm liking this tweet. What a fantastic tweet. And again, troops dinner, a plastic tray and
mystery meat, Trump's dinner, crystal and fillet, USS Abraham Lincoln mold in the corners,
Trump at Bedminster, perfect green. These are the priorities. And this should be on every single
TV told to every single American because it is the reality. These are the types of pictures we are
getting. This is what we're eating, rationing food. And by we, I mean our service members,
dinner. That's obviously what he's eating every night. He gets to go golf every weekend while we
have mold on USS, Abraham Lincoln. Let me know what you think of all this in the comments down
below. I really appreciate making it to the end of this video. And I really do greatly appreciate
all of our service members out there. Make sure you like, hit subscribe, share this video out.
