🚨Trump DESTROYED IT ALL…

A Midas Touch exclusive, we've got. exclusive photos of the devastation and. damage that was done to a US base in. Kuwait at Camp Arifjan. We'll show you. what some of these photos look like. right here. You can see airfields that. are destroyed, bunkers that were. severely destroyed, other buildings that. were hit hard. This all, of course, arising out of Donald Trump's. catastrophic war in Iran. There has been. a number of reports lately about the. costs of this catastrophic war. And in.

all of these reports though, whether. it's the CENTCOM one, the Inspector. General report, there was a. Congressional Budget Office report, for. whatever reason, they also don't include. the damage that were caused to the US. military bases. And I think this is one. of the stories being underreported. Of. course, we know about the US depleting. its munition stockpiles. We know about. the damage done to a lot of US aircraft, whether it's the E-3 AWAC, the Apaches, the Black Hawks, uh the Stratotankers,

you name it. We've had so many aircraft. that were destroyed. So, you hear this. number right now. I think CENTCOM's. latest was like 48 billion, 49 billion, about 5 billion per week. But you look. at the asterisk, it says it does not. include the damage to military bases. And uh if we're talking about Camp. Arifjan here, and Aaron Parnas from The. Midas Touch Network got this uh. exclusive. I mean, I think that this is. something that we're hearing taking. place in other bases as well. I want to. bring in Aaron Parnas. You all know him.

from the Parnas Perspective. Make sure. you subscribe to Aaron's YouTube. channel. Make sure you subscribe to. Aaron's Substack. And you all know. Aaron, he does such incredible work. across all social media platforms. Aaron, great to see you. So, you got. these photos uh exclusively, uh shedding. more light into the damage done to this. base. What can you tell us about it, Aaron? >> Yeah, so a service member this morning. reached out to me and essentially said, "Hey, Aaron, I am struggling. I want to. get the word out. I love serving my. country, but I just cannot believe.

essentially what I'm seeing right now. And what the service member was seeing. on the ground was very different from. what the Pentagon and the Trump. administration had been telling us. publicly. As you know, the president and. Pete Hegseth and those around them have. repeatedly claimed that Iran's military. has been completely obliterated. They. have no air force, their navy's at the. bottom of the sea, yada yada yada. And. yet, the images and videos that we've. reported on today actually show a. completely different story that Iranian. military was able to actually pierce. through a lot of air defense systems in. the region and specifically at this base.

in Kuwait. And the one real image that. really struck out to me out of all of. them was the fact the bunker image. because this is a bunker where service. members ran to to protect themselves. That bunker is fortified very heavily. and yet an Iranian drone, according to. the service member I spoke to, was. successfully able to, as you can see in. this picture, pierce through. and ultimately destroy the bunker. burying what was underneath. Now, we don't know. I I don't believe. there to be any casualties as a result. of this strike. There were definitely.

injuries and concussions, etc. And I. know casualties, but it is very telling. that we have this reporting on the same. day that we learned from the Washington. Post that the Pentagon has been. underreporting deaths in Iran and the. same day that Donald Trump decided to. kick out major media companies out of. the White House. It's clear they don't. want the truth coming out, but we're. still getting it out nonetheless. >> You know, we see a lot of this satellite. imagery that makes its way into public. forum and we've seen areas where Iran. through their media outlets has shown.

footage and we've seen it in other. countries posting these this footage and. then we either hear silence or nothing. coming out or no, it's all good, you. know, you often hear sometimes from. these countries that host American. bases, whether it's Jordan or Kuwait, they'll say, we've intercepted all the. perfect interception rate or sometimes. they'll say minimal debris, but then we. learn things like this. And it really. kind of shatters your confidence. And we.

know in wars, things get murky, and. sides are going to have their propaganda. and spin, but like some of this stuff, Aaron, you know, we can see the. ballistics in the air. We We can see. visuals when they appear to be hitting, and then we're often told no damage, and. then we see stories like this, and it's. it's heart-wrenching. I'm sure this is. what the service members are feeling, too. How do you contextualize that as an. independent reporter? >> Yeah, well, listen, I understand why. we're not seeing this directly from the. Pentagon and directly from the. administration, and it's because they're.

going to argue, well, this is simply can. be used as propaganda within Iran. The. Iranians can take these images that. we're releasing today and say, "Look, we're actually destroying large parts of. American military bases in the region,". which is factually true. Uh but at the. same time, I think at this point in the. war, we're 7 months in, the uh the. administration hasn't adequately. prosecuted the war in front of the. American public. Every single drip of. information that we get out of this. administration shows that they are. digging themselves a deeper hole in. terms of the lies that they're telling,

whether it's the service members that. have been uh killed or injured, and now. these images that we're releasing. Everything we're being told isn't true. And I think that right there is. ultimately going to be the uh takeaway. when this war inevitably ends, whether. it be in a few months or in a few years, is that the Trump administration lied to. the American public. And it's really, I. think, been I mean, I didn't live. through the Iraq war. I I was much. younger, but based on what I read, this. is what the administration, the Bush. administration, was kind of doing back.

then, too. They would be telling one. thing to the public, and then privately, it would be a very different story. And. if social media was around back then, I. don't know that we would have been. sucking up a forever war like we were. >> You know, we often use the reflecting. pool as a bigger metaphor here, that the. algae always comes back. You can try to. paint it blue and pretend it's always. going to go away. It makes it so much. worse though when you're lying and. you're hiding it and then we've all seen. the condition. By the way, you've. reported on what it looks like recently.

over there and sometimes I think about. that and I go, "You know what? That's. just a reflecting pool." By the way, it's had a lot of collateral damage, prosecutions against individuals, Olympic canoeists, and all of these. things, but it's a mindset of cover-up. and lying and then you contextualize. this of what's the current situation in. the Middle East and you contextualize it. with other reporting that you've done. and you've broken, Aaron, about the. condition of our service members aboard.

aircraft carriers. And you're saying, "Well, why aren't they getting their. food? We not want to feed them? Well, what the. hell? Of course we do. They're These are. brave and courageous people." And it's. like, "Oh, wait a minute. What happened. in Iraq, John? That camp that we have. photos? That happened in Bahrain." And. if it happened in Bahrain, we don't get. logistics to our aircraft carriers. Oh, and wait a minute. Is that happening in. Al Udeid? Is that what happened in the. Saudi base? Is that's happening here? Is. that happening here? So, then it's like. this is all connected and it's like. that's why we're in the situation we're. in. And Aaron, that connects to what.

we're feeling here with gas prices. surging and diesel surging and no way. out. And this is connected to what. Americans are feeling, right? >> 100% and I actually think that's the in. a way the silver lining in our reporting. today is that it's been corroborated. already, right? We've seen all of the. reports coming out of these other. countries and other American military. bases, other images coming out, other. vid- videos coming out. This is just a. compounding effect at this point. It's. It to me it's like a boulder rolling. down a hill. Once it starts rolling, you.

can't really stop a boulder that's. coming down. It ta- It takes a lot of. pressure to do so and this. administration is facing that boulder. rolling down a hill. Diesel prices have. now hit $6.40 on average in the United. States of America. That is a record. We've never seen that before in our. lifetimes. Gas prices are well above $4. on average. You literally have gas pumps. gas pumps saying out of diesel in some. places like in Texas and in California. It's $9.99 in some stations. So, it is a.

very very bad. I guess moment for this administration. and it comes at the worst possible time, right? We are now 5 weeks away from the. midterm elections. A midterm election. that already favored Democrats just. given the political nature of the fact. that you have a. Republican in the White House and now. you have this compounding effect of gas. prices rising, affordability and just. generic food costs rising and lies. coming out of what's happening overseas. Americans don't want another forever war.

and the more they see these images, the. more they see these videos, the more I. think they're going to turn on this. White House. >> Well, and now the White House banning. reporters from Politico, CNN, MS Now, which I think we know is the tip of the. iceberg. I wouldn't be shocked if even. before this video is released, we hear. Washington Post, The New York Times, and. this one and that. That's how he usually. does these things and this comes with so. much reporting on casualty amounts that. have been covered up to a situation. where an AI chatbot almost got the.

United States starting World War III and. attacking a Chinese vessel to stories. like this, Aaron. And so, where where do. we we're we're kind of in unchartered. territory though here, you know, and. Trump kind of wears that panic on his. sleeve. I know some people like, "Hey, Ben, you're being a bit He's not. panicking. He's not I'm like, all I can. tell you, I don't call it panic, call it. this, call it that. This behavior that. we're actually seeing certainly isn't. calm, composed behavior we're used to.

seeing and not just a president, but. people in leadership positions. generally. I'll leave you the final word. there. >> Yeah, it really reminds me of a criminal. defendant when they're about to get. caught, right? They've committed this. crime spree, they got away with with it. for months, for sometimes for years, and. then they feel the pressure building, and so they start to make mistakes. They. start to say things like, "Oh, gas prices are okay as long as Iran. doesn't have a nuclear weapon." Right? That's what they start to do, and then. until the very end, they try to do. whatever they can to cover up their.

crimes, they cover up what they're. doing. In this case, Trump is now at the. point where he's like, "Well, I don't. want reporters that are going to ask me. critical questions. I don't want Kaitlan. Collins in the White House." That is all. he's he's like a criminal defendant. trying to cover up his tracks, and. ultimately, it's going to be up to the. voters to catch him and to hold him. accountable. >> Right. He said "Sleepy Joe Biden's the. one responsible for gas prices rising.". But it's like, "Wait a minute, didn't. you say that gas prices weren't rising?".
