1:15Donald Trump is panicking as his catastrophic war in Iran continues to spiral out of
1:20control. He has not made any public appearances since his disastrous address to the nation,
1:28if you want to call it that, on Wednesday night.
1:31No public appearances, no press conferences.
1:35As we've been reporting, he's been doing what's called calling a lid where he basically
1:41kicks all of the press out, doesn't let them near him.
1:45And he's basically been ducking any public appearances as this war spirals out of control.
1:52I mean, we know at the end of last week, you had the F -15E
1:56and the A -10, and you had the two helicopters.
2:00The two airplanes were shot down.
2:03The two helicopters were severely damaged.
2:06And remember, Donald Trump was saying, we decimated Iran.
2:09They don't have any capabilities to shoot at us.
2:13That's just like a BB gun at this point.
2:15What are they doing? Well, Donald Trump's MIA, he is making social media posts that
2:21are utterly deranged. I mean, he's still making those posts, like the post he made
2:26in the morning when he goes, Remember when I gave Iran 10 days to make
2:31a deal or open up the Hormuz straight?
2:34Time is running out. 48 hours before all hell will rain down on them.
2:41And of course, he spells rain incorrectly.
2:43Glory be to God, Donald J.
2:46Trump. Glory be to God as you threaten to commit more war crimes.
2:53Also, yesterday evening, again, Donald Trump's not made any public appearances, but he posted the
3:00following. Many of Iran's military leaders who have led them poorly.
3:05Unwisely and unwisely are terminated, along with much else.
3:10With the massive strike in Tehran, Donald J.
3:15Trump. Then he posts a video, I guess, American and Israeli aircraft bombing Tehran.
3:21And like a lot of people are unclear, like what he's specifically talking about and
3:25who he's taken out. But that's what Donald Trump does.
3:28He just rushes to make social media posts.
3:30He's also posting that he got 96 percent approval at CPAC, at the far right
3:38wing extremist convention. So maybe that's soothing his lack of a soul right now.
3:44And then he goes, if you import the third world, you become the third world.
3:49And that's not going to happen to the United States of America as long as
3:54I am president. Donald J.
3:56Trump. I mean, for real, who talks like that?
3:59And yesterday, Selena Wang talked about how as of 5 .04 p .m.
4:03Eastern time in the afternoon.
4:04And this was through the entire night.
4:06You'll see you see the Marine Century right there standing guard outside the West Wing.
4:12That means Donald Trump's been in the Oval Office.
4:14From what we hear, he's been with his national security team kind of locked up
4:19there as Donald Trump and Netanyahu are saying that they're going to blow up all
4:25of Iran's electrical grids and more of its bridges and take out more of its
4:31civilian infrastructure. And one of the things that Donald Trump's putting on his official schedule,
4:36because the White House has to publish like official schedules, they say that throughout the
4:40entire day that he's engaged in, quote, executive time, executive time.
4:46Now, while Donald Trump's involved in his executive time and he's making these threats and
4:52he's blowing up Iranian bridges and hitting Iranian universities and he's hitting Iranian army and
4:59military as well. Well, let's be clear, but Iran firmly controls the Strait of Hormuz
5:03with an iron fist. And of course, Iranian leaders are saying that they're getting ready
5:09to tell the Houthis to basically show.
5:11down the Red Sea and give them the command there, shut down the strait there,
5:16which would send oil prices up to, what, $175, $200 a barrel.
5:23But Iran's been targeting its Arab nation neighbors with American interests in it, countries that
5:30support the U .S., where the U .S.
5:33is launching military strikes against Iran from, like Kuwait.
5:36And what we learned last night is, you can see right here, Kuwait's Ministry of
5:41Oil building was hit in an Iranian attack.
5:44I mean, you can see it on fire.
5:46You could also see other Kuwaiti energy infrastructure.
5:50The Ministry of Electricity and Water and Renewable Energy in Kuwait confirmed that two Kuwaiti
5:57power and water desalination plants were attacked by Iranian drones, causing significant damage, according to
6:06Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity. Two power generation units are also all out of service.
6:13And in addition to the Kuwaiti infrastructure being targeted and hit by Iran, it should
6:19also be noted that in the past 12 hours, Bahrain's BAPCO Energy's refinery complex was
6:26hit in an Iranian strike.
6:28You can see the smoke and fire reported at the site.
6:32Multiple reports are showing this, and you can see in the video right here, witnesses
6:37in initial reports say a drone or missile struck this industrial area with visible flames
6:44and thick smoke near the refinery.
6:46Early information indicates damage and possible injuries, though information is currently evolving, as drop site
6:55reports right there. You can see the image right there of the BAPCO Energy refinery
7:00complex just being damaged significantly by this strike.
7:05Things are intensifying, folks. As another open source intelligence account has been showing the Air
7:13Force activity above Europe right now, take a look at the U .S.
7:18Air Force mobilization over the past 48 hours.
7:22We'll play the B -roll of it right here.
7:23You see the massive crowd over the EU skies.
7:27This is, as it's referred to, the big birds are resupplying, right?
7:31Those big strato tankers and other fuel ships are up there.
7:37They're refueling some of the other jets that are being used to strike in Iran.
7:42As Brandon Weikard explains, they're readying for a major shaping operation, it seems.
7:48They're doing massive air campaigns.
7:51And when you do that, that seems to signal that there will be ground troops
7:56as well. But we'll see.
7:59We've got to follow the data.
8:01But one of the things that is happening as well, Planet Labs.
8:07Have you heard of Planet Labs?
8:08I'm sure you have. If you haven't, it's one of the most important U .S.-based
8:12commercial satellite imagery providers. That's who most media outlets rely on to get those images.
8:20They're saying that the Trump regime has asked all imagery providers to indefinitely withhold satellite
8:29images from the Iran war.
8:31As Ben Rhodes explains, the Trump regime is going to great lengths to hide the
8:37damage of this war to U .S.
8:40bases, facilities, and the wider region.
8:42But they will expect you to pay for it.
8:46Arik Tolar explains that this access change also includes Gaza and Lebanon, not just Iran
8:52and the Gulf states with U .S.
8:54bases. And Planet Labs, they've been very good in their imagery.
8:59And it's led to a lot of scoops.
9:01You're able to see where Iran is striking a lot of these U .S.
9:06military bases when the Trump regime's been trying to cover it up.
9:10And now the Trump regime is basically banning them from publishing their satellite imagery without
9:16certain types of permission. One of the things that's also being reported in Reuters just
9:23now, and we've been talking about this here on the Midas Touch Network, but new
9:26U .S. intelligence reports suggest that Iran will likely increase its regional sway as a
9:32result of the Iran war or Trump's unlawful war with Netanyahu against Iran through their
9:37control of the Strait of Hormuz.
9:40Intelligence suggests Iran is unlikely to open the Strait of Hormuz anytime soon, although I
9:47think that's a misnomer. It's open to Iranian allies.
9:50Like they just said, Iraq, you could use the Strait of Hormuz.
9:54They let a French vessel go through recently.
9:56They let a Japanese vessel go through recently.
9:59They let Indian vessels go through recently.
10:01They let Chinese vessels go through recently.
10:04They accept money right now, Iran, in certain types of crypto, certain types of Bitcoin
10:10that they use, and yuan, the Chinese currency, because one of the things that Iran's
10:17looking to do is also hurt the dollar.
10:19And Iran's built this toll system, and they go, this is ours.
10:23We ain't leaving. We have no intention of going anywhere anytime soon.
10:28And it just goes to show you, again, what's going on there.
10:32And while you have that taking place, you have MAGA Republican senators like Rick Scott
10:37of Florida, who was involved when he was involved in COVID -19?
10:39We have the majority of the shame on us winningschaften�� The head of this company,
10:40Columbia, the company was called the largest Medicare, Medicaid criminal fraud scheme in U .S.
10:46history at the time. He goes, hey, TMZ, I'm at Disney with my grandkids.
10:51Should we be in D .C.?
10:53Yes, but I don't make that decision.
10:55I mean, these are such a bunch of like weird human beings.
10:57What are you talking about, dude?
10:59There's so much going on right now.
11:01And this is what you're posting while Americans are suffering right now.
11:05Point this out as well.
11:06The JSSMERs, these stealth kind of cruise missiles that are very effective.
11:14We've learned with the Bloomberg scoop that the U .S.
11:18is sending nearly all of its JSSMER cruise missiles to CENTCOM, leaving only about 4
11:24,425 JSSMs out of a pre -war inventory of 2 ,300 for other contingencies.
11:32As Kelly Greico explains, when does the U .S.
11:36lose conventional deterrence against China?
11:39We're edging dangerously close. The next steps in the U .S.
11:44military campaign against Iran will commit nearly its entire inventory of stealthy JSSMER cruise missiles,
11:53drawing them from stockpiles devoted to other regions.
11:57The order to pull the $1 .5 million weapon from Pacific stockpiles was issued at
12:03the end of March, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.
12:07Missiles at U .S. facilities elsewhere, including continental U .S., will be moved to the
12:12U .S. Central Command bases or Fairford in the U .K., said a person who
12:17was granted anonymity to discuss the details.
12:20After the moves, only about 425 JASSMERs out of pre -war inventory of 2 ,300
12:27will remain viable for the rest of the globe.
12:31So Iran is forcing the U .S.
12:35to draw down a lot of its inventory there.
12:38I'll also share this with you, too.
12:40I think this is an important note, what they're saying, of course, in Iran.
12:46You have their minister of one of their foreign ministry spokespersons, Esmail Bakay.
12:54He says, throughout history, Iranians have been the guardians of Verdansi and the Cyprus.
13:01Today, as well, every Iranian drawing from the deep -rooted wisdom embedded in their culture
13:06and a meaningful practice suited to the error, plants a tree.
13:09Let the darkness, lost in the delusion of understanding today and planning for tomorrow, descend
13:15into the ravings of the Stone Age.
13:18The nation of love plants a sapling of green that will spread its branches and
13:23leaves to tomorrow. He also writes, destroying the great bridges, which stand as a steadfast
13:31symbol of the ingenuity, commitment, and tireless efforts of Iranian engineers and workers, does not
13:36elevate the saboteurs. This war crime in the style of ISIS terrorism, accompanied by similar
13:43attacks on vital infrastructure in Iran, makes an undeniable truth more evident.
13:49Their ultimate goal is destruction of Iran, a goal they have relentlessly pursued for nearly
13:54five decades. Then it goes on to say, Iran today stands firmer, prouder, and greater
13:59than ever. Folks, we've been talking about all of the force majeure clauses that all
14:07of these companies have been invoking in the Middle East.
14:09I mean, even if the war were to end today, the oil shock, the supply
14:14shock is so severe that it will have catastrophic impacts no matter what on world
14:21economies right now. And it ain't going to end in 24 hours.
14:24It should be noted that Khalid Baaf, the parliament leader of Iran, I mean, he's
14:30out there saying, if we don't have signals that the Trump regime is getting ready
14:35to surrender or basically get out and allow us to control the Strait of Hormuz,
14:40keep our ballistic missiles and our Shahi drones and keep our power here in Iran.
14:47If we believe that the Trump regime and Israel are going to escalate and hit
14:51the electrical grids and hit these areas, we're going to hit Saudi Arabia.
14:55We're going to hit Qatar.
14:57We're going to hit Kuwait.
14:59We're going to hit the UAE even harder.
15:01And Gala Bob says, we've been trying to avoid, and the way they referred to
15:06it was like a Ukraine, Russia style, scorched earth, catastrophic situation in the Middle East.
15:14So they said they've been picking their targets.
15:17And what's one of the reasons they hit Kuwait last night was to show, look,
15:21we could hit this at will.
15:22But they said, we'll go scorched earth on the region.
15:25And so we're 12 to 24 hours away of kind of scorched earth, right?
15:29You have Donald Trump saying the deadline that he set will end notably right before
15:34the markets open on Monday, where he says he's going to blow Iran up to
15:40the Stone Ages. You have Iran saying, well, we're not going to wait for that.
15:44If it seems that that's where you're going to go, we're going to preemptively attack,
15:48you know, other areas in the Middle East.
15:51Things are escalating very, very, very quickly right now.
15:54Top advisors around Trump, according to the Wall Street Journal, are telling him, hit the
16:00power plants of Iran, hit the road networks, hit the bridges.
16:03They've been saying Iran's infrastructure is fair.
16:07game. And Pete Hegseth is saying, we need to do this.
16:10That's how we can win this war.
16:12Destroy all the civilian infrastructure.
16:15That's a war crime, Pete.
16:16That's a war crime, Donald.
16:17And you've been involved in many, many a war crime thus far.
16:22Israel's preparing possible strikes on all of those targets and energy sites, waiting on Donald
16:27Trump's green light to do that in the next 12 to 24 hours.
16:31I mean, again, they've already been doing it, but to escalate even more.
16:34And then Donald Trump's focus while all of this is going on, while he's basically
16:40disappeared from public view. I did a whole report on this yesterday about Donald Trump's
16:46budget, right? His $2 .5 trillion budget is $1 .5 trillion in defense spending and
16:53cutting all the healthcare and social services and all the things that people need.
16:56Small business stuff, low income housing, all the things that people need right now.
17:03And I pointed this out yesterday, but the way this stat is framed is just
17:07so staggering. Trump is asking Congress for $377 million for executive residence renovations in 2027's
17:16budget. That's an 866 % jump from the prior year.
17:22So Donald Trump claims that all the money's coming from private sources to build his
17:27ballroom, which a federal judge blocked.
17:29He says that's going to cost $400 million, the ballroom alone, which the judge blocked.
17:34And separately, he needs $377 million of our taxpayer dollars for White House renovations.
17:42And that doesn't even include the bunker that's being built under the East Wing, which
17:46will likely be hundreds of millions.
17:47He's talking about like $2 billion in renovations for the White House.
17:51Sicko. Bunch of sickos over here.
17:53We'll keep you posted every step of the way.
17:55We'll let you know when Donald Trump surfaces, if he surfaces anytime soon.
