Trump RUNS AWAY from PRESS as WAR EXPLODES!!!

Donald Trump just ran away from the. press after a disastrous event that he. held in Pennsylvania. This as the United. States is further escalating its attacks. on Iran. We're seeing massive strikes by. the United States military as I am. recording this video. We're also seeing. a very strong response from Iran. New. explosions are heard in Bahrain. New. explosions are heard in Kuwait. New. explosions are heard in Erbil, Iraq.

Iran is responding. Let me show you as. Donald Trump runs away from the press. after he's asked a very simple question, "Are you giving Iran any deadlines?". And then Donald Trump goes, "I don't. like giving deadlines. They better. behave." Donald Trump who constantly. sets arbitrary deadlines says, "I don't. like giving deadlines." And then he just. runs away from the press. Watch for. yourself. Here I'll play this clip.

>> Nice to be with you. Are you going out. to the event? >> Huh? >> Is everything fine? >> Everything's fine. >> [music]. >> Are you giving Iran a deadline before. you start bombing Iran? >> I don't like giving deadlines, but they. pretty much know. They know the story. >> So, are you meeting. >> They better behave. >> Are you giving Iran a deadline on. nuclear stuff? >> President not spending too much time. outside because it is 97°. in our area right now. But the president. now. >> We're learning that as part of these US.

strikes, it does appear that the United. States missiles struck near a hospital. in Ahvaz area in Iran where there are. cancer patients, especially children who. are receiving chemotherapy. The hospital. had to be partially evacuated there as. the Trump regime strikes took place very. close to that hospital. Trump regime. also striking. and Kharg Island and Keshem and nearby.

You're seeing a lot of wildlife like. over here. You're seeing some of the. deer of Kharg Island. taking refuge on the streets after some. of the explosions right right over. there. As I noted, Donald Trump held this. bizarre press conference before. Just. kind of running away from the press. At. this presser, Donald Trump says that. Iran wants to settle so badly. They. really want to make a deal. Here, play. this clip. >> And we uh. They want to settle so badly. They don't.

like what we're doing. And they do want to settle. We'll find. out whether or not we settle with them. or we just finish it off. >> And then after saying they want to. settle so badly, he also says, "We'll. have Iran defeated soon. They'll be. defeated very soon." he says. Here, let's play this clip. >> Bloomington, we'll have Iran defeated. soon. They'll be defeated very soon. >> [applause]. >> And then I guess it'll be even better. But you know, even during this it's been.

it's been amazing. I mean. >> Now, the Wall Street Journal is also. reporting how Donald Trump and his. despicable regime are leaning towards. expanding US military operations in Iran. including ground troops, including. bombing what they believe to be covert. nuclear sites, including bombing. civilian infrastructure. Notice if you. go back through this past week, you'll. see the reporting that I did where I. talked about ground invasion because I. saw where the US was bombing. So, it was.

obvious to me that they were prepping. for a ground invasion or special forces. at least. And then Donald Trump has been talking. about bombing pickaxe mountain. It's an. area in Iran where there is believed to. be. a nuclear program perhaps taking place. there, but it's very deep underground. Even bunker busters can't get to it. That would certainly be a massive. escalation and the IRGC has said, "We. will not back down and if the Trump. regime continues to escalate, we'll.

continue to escalate." Um and they've. said there are many other stages that we. have prepared uh in the offensive that. we're planning, which to me is of course. a reference to shutting down the Bab. el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea. Going. back to that presser, Donald Trump says. that the economy during this war has. been absolutely amazing, he says. It's. great and everybody's thriving and it's. amazing and the economy in the US. couldn't be better right now. Here, play.

this clip. >> It's been amazing. I mean, to think So, I call it a military operation, but uh. call it whatever you want. It's uh. incredible. It's a It hasn't made a. dent. A lot of people thought oil would. go up to $350 a barrel and it's. Today, it's at $79. Uh a couple of days ago, it was at 68. It went up a little bit because I had to. take tough action because they did not. uh obey what they're supposed to obey. I. mean, they just didn't do it. So, we.

took a little action, but it'll all when. that settles down, you'll be I think. you're going to have. $55 oil, which is all great for what. you're doing, maybe less than that. >> Then he says, "It's like COVID.". "Remember how good of a job I did in. COVID?" he says. "I don't get enough. credit for the great work I did in. COVID," he said. Here, play this clip. >> hit with COVID, but even including. COVID, we did a great job in COVID. We. never got credit for it, but every. country was ripped apart by that. disaster. Uh.

we know where it came from. It came from. Wuhan. And I said that, but we were all. ripped apart and China got hit very, very hard. It was delayed. They got hit. very hard at the end. >> By the way, the parallels there are also. very clear, right? Donald Trump saying, "Like a miracle, COVID's going to go. away. There's only going to be two. cases. It's going to go away. Thankfully, at least for COVID, Donald. Trump lost the election. We had someone. who responsibly dealt with it in former. President Biden. But Biden got a lot of. crap for. difficult economy, shipping issue, all.

the economy, cuz he had to fix it. That's what happens when you actually. have to fix it and you don't commit. fraud. And then he fixed it and then. Donald Trump is breaking it again now. A. message just came out from Pete Hegseth. moments ago while the US is escalating. This is real. This isn't a parody. This. isn't AI. This actually comes from the. official Defense Department account. They call themselves the Department of. War. And Pete Hegseth says we will now be. known as the high-T Department of War as.

in high testosterone and that they will. be doing uh medical analysis on the. troops to ensure that they have the. appropriate level of T, of testosterone. Here, play this clip. >> At the Department of War, we have the. most elite warriors on the face of the. Earth. Every single day, you are pushed to your. absolute physical and mental limits. to master the profession of arms. We demand your all and you give it.

But while we invest heavily in our. weapon systems, platforms, and gear, our. most decisive tactical advantage will. always be the individual warfighter. We have a sacred duty to maintain that. advantage, which is why we must. constantly look for new ways to optimize. your performance, your resilience, and. your long-term health. And to meet that commitment today, I'm. authorizing a new screening program for. testosterone deficiency for our service. members. Ensuring you have the right.

testosterone levels to operate at your. absolute best. >> Let me interrupt for a moment with a new. story that you need to hear. So, just. recently, the Trump administration. bragged about the PJM power grid. It's. the largest in the country moving away. from renewables. Energy Secretary Chris. Wright posted a chart showing coal, gas, and other nonrenewable sources making up. over 91% of generation and renewables. under 6%. He was bragging about this. His advice in a time of strain during. the summer heat was to keep your air.

conditioners blasting. His words. One. day later, PJM had to declare emergency. actions following an alert by the. federal government, the Trump. administration, telling utilities to cut. electricity use as outages, overloaded. transmission lines, and extreme heat. pushed the system towards blackouts. Now, Trump loves to say in his speeches. like all the time that only unsuccessful. countries use wind, that only disasters. run on renewables. He said that China. doesn't use wind power, but that's not. true even in the slightest bit. China is.

the number one wind producer on Earth. It's not even close, and they keep on. expanding it. Meanwhile, the Trump. administration is bragging about cutting. renewables while the grid nearly. buckles. Listen, this isn't about. politics. It's facts and common sense. Renewables aren't just good for the. environment, they're good for lower. costs and a stronger, more reliable. grid, and they make the country stronger. and more competitive as a whole. So, now. I want to hear from you. What do you. think about how the administration is. handling climate and renewable energy? Do you want to see more investment? Let. us know all your thoughts right now in.

the comments. I want to hear from you. Okay, Ben, back to you. >> Now, Iran's. uh parliament leader Ambe Galab off put. out the following statement, "We have. never welcomed war, nor do we welcome it. now, but we must always be prepared for. battle and stand firm to protect our. national security and interests. We must. also use diplomacy and negotiation to. achieve and solidify our national. interests. We are aware as well that. there have been multiple people killed.

in these US strikes in Iran, especially. uh lots of people killed during a strike. on the Iranian army barracks in Bompur. These are new soldiers in these barracks. right here. Iran state media released a. photo of the young Iranians who were. killed by a US missile strike. in these barracks. You can see the photo. right there. Donald Trump then said the. following about the. CHIPS Act as well moments ago where he.

said which was Biden's CHIPS Act. The. reason why America's semiconductor. industry, you know, has had this revival. was Biden did the CHIPS Act. And Donald. Trump wants to take credit for it, but. Donald Trump's like, "I don't do it. Biden did. Biden just did the chips for. the transgenders. You had to be. transgender if you wanted the chips.". What are you talking about? I mean, this. is just This is just the stupid drivel, the stupid lies that are again so. dangerous and but this is what Trump. does all the time. Here, let's play this.

clip right here. >> Bring back the car plants, the AI. plants. They're all coming back. If they. don't, they have to pay taxes. The chips. we had this ridiculous CHIPS Act where. you get billions of dollars to a company. and they didn't even know what the hell. to do with it. You give them billions of. dollars. They said they're going to. build. Nobody knew what to do with it. And of course, the standards were so. high if you weren't transgender as an. example. you didn't qualify. So, they get the. money. They hired They look all over for. transgender people to run the company.

Large portions. They couldn't find them. They weren't into the chip making. business, I guess, right? They had other. things on their mind. But this was the Biden fools, those. idiots that almost destroyed our. country. >> I'm going to show you some photos right. here of what the reflecting pool looks. like because to me, isn't this so. symbolic of everything? Donald Trump, I'm just going to paint it blue. The. reflecting pool looks amazing. It's the. greatest thing ever. Well, look at it right now. And that's how Donald Trump approaches.

everything. Paint it blue. That's what. you get. I'm Ben Meiselas from the Midas. Touch Network.
