Chapter 1: Why did Donald Trump abruptly leave his interview in DC?
Donald Trump abruptly shut down an interview that he was giving as Iran was retaliating against the United States by striking US interests in Kuwait and Bahrain, following the United States striking Iranian interests in the Strait of Hormuz, Donald Trump rushed out of this interview that he was giving with Kristen Welker of NBC, Meet the Press.
The interview was supposed to last at least an hour and a half, maybe two hours. Trump left after 15 minutes. He rushed to Bedminster where Alina Haba, his former personal lawyer who was pretending to be a United States attorney from New Jersey for a little bit of time, said, Welcome home, POTUS.
posting these weird videos of Donald Trump landing in Bedminster while, for all purposes, the United States military remains frozen in the Strait of Hormuz, constantly violating the ceasefire with Iran, and then Iran responding by striking American interests in Kuwait and Bahrain, like we saw last night and into this morning.
And then Donald Trump is just posting all evening AI images of Iran's Navy at the bottom of the Strait of Hormuz, It's just clearly AI videos that he's posting. And then Donald Trump, I guess, soothing his fear, trying to calm himself down by posting no panikins with some weird photo from the past of Donald Trump sitting all alone courtside watching Knicks players.
Donald Trump claims he's going to be going to the Knicks game, Game 3, which I think all Knicks fans and NBA fans are dreading. Although it will certainly be interesting to see Donald Trump get booed as Nick fans scream Jeffrey Epstein or probably have a bunch of other chants they're getting ready to do.

Chapter 2: What were the immediate impacts of Iran's retaliatory strikes?
But let's just break down what happened. We'll talk about the Iranian retaliatory strikes. We'll talk about Donald Trump abruptly shutting down his interview with NBC. We'll talk about the deranged posts all evening. Let's just go through it step by step. Let's bring out the receipts, as we always do here on the Midas Touch Network.
So as you know, we reported yesterday afternoon that CENTCOM had posted the following message. CENTCOM forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones. that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz. The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic. U.S.
forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Garuk and Qashem Island to defend against further attacks.
Chapter 3: How did Trump respond to the situation in Iran on social media?
American forces remained vigilant and postured to respond to unjustified Iranian aggression and self-defense. Then, shortly thereafter, we learned the following. Iran was launching ballistic missiles and drone attacks on U.S. forces and bases in Bahrain with air raid sirens now activated, per Bahrain's Ministry of the Interior.
Iran launched major ballistic missile and drone attacks on Kuwait in response to the new U.S. strikes, per the Kuwaiti army. Massive explosions were heard all the way to Basra, Iraq, and you can see the smoke rising in Bahrain. You can see the smoke rising in Kuwait right there by Kuwait City.
The United States claimed that Iran did not strike any of the targets it intended and said that it intercepted all of the Iran drones and ballistic missiles. iran claims that it successfully targeted u.s interests there we will get you photos and videos as that becomes available and after striking american interests in bahrain and kuwait iran also issued a
formal notice through the irgc to the united states that it will now completely and absolutely close the strait of hormuz and it will not hesitate to ensure that oil prices go up to 200 dollars per barrel and they say that the u.s attacks will now make the u.s fully responsible for the consequences that you are causing to the global oil market right now so iran
threatening to bring those prices of oil up to two hundred dollars per barrel they truly know what the pain point is right now here in the united states we'll show you some of the videos that are available right now let me share this with you air raid sirens continuing to sound across kuwait amid yet another drone and missile attack by iran let's play this clip

At 2 a.m., U.S. drones struck sites at Keshem and Sirik Island. Iran then responded with those missile strikes we're showing you there on Kuwait's Al-Ali Salam Air Base and the U.S. 5th Fleet facilities in Bahrain right there. IRGC public relations.

Chapter 4: What details emerged about the Iranian missile and drone attacks?
CENTCOM claims, as noted, that the seven ballistic missiles against Bahrain and Kuwait were shot down by CENTCOM. CENTCOM purported to show video footage showing that right there. Let me share with you what they were saying on NBC, how Gabe Gutierrez revealed that Trump's interview with Kristen Welker was cut short abruptly. And then Donald Trump went to Bedminster, where Alina Haba was posting.
Welcome back, POTUS. We're waiting for you. Here, play this clip.
As for that interview, Kristen and the Meet the Press team conducted it here in Wisconsin inside a barn at the request of the White House. There were multiple interruptions when rain repeatedly was hitting the metal roof of the barn.
Following those challenges, as well as a back and forth about election integrity where the president disagreed with the questions, President Trump ended the interview about 50 minutes after it began.
Now, after Donald Trump rushed out of the interview, which was kind of a softball interview, in my view, that Donald Trump still thought was too difficult for him, Donald Trump posted the following message. The governor of the great state of Maryland, Wes Moore, has put a halt to all work being done at the Joint Base Andrews Air Force Base concerning the renovations and restoration of their two
old and dilapidated golf course into two world-class Jack Nicklaus design courses, plus nine additional holes, also designed by Jack, specially adapted for our warriors. What are you talking about? By doing this, the governor is attacking the United States Air Force and our military. not a smart thing to do. These courses exist. They are terrible. Jack Nicklaus will make them.
What kind of deranged stuff is this? What are you talking about? Why should the Air Force and other military personnel be forced to wait through long legal review process and perhaps even more so? Why should they be forced to go long distances to play golf?

Chapter 5: What claims did CENTCOM make regarding Iran's military capabilities?
Why are you sending them on ships where you're not giving them enough food? Why are you deploying them for hundreds of days to go into unlawful wars and catastrophic wars in Iran and never-ending wars in the Middle East? Why do you call our troops suckers and losers? Why do you behave the way you do? Just going back to that Kristen Welker interview for a moment. that Donald Trump ran away from.
Donald Trump says that we destroyed all of Iran's military, yet he says they have 21 to 22% of their missiles left. Here, play this clip.
I'm so used to it. Look, we have totally destroyed their military. They have some missiles left. They have some drones left. Do you know how many missiles? Yes, exactly.
How many?
I don't want to tell you. Can you give me a ballpark? No, but I know almost to the number. And we know where they are, too. And we know where their drones are. And we know where their drone factories are. Most of the drone factories have been knocked out.

Chapter 6: How did Trump characterize the Iranian leadership during the interview?
Most of the launching pads have been knocked out. And most of the missile manufacturing areas have been knocked out. But they still have capacity. They have some missiles, they have some drones. I would say percentage-wise, maybe 21, 22% of their missiles, it's a lot of missiles, but it's not what it was when we first attacked.
So you're saying they have 21, 22% of their missiles left? Correct, yes.
Okay.
And then, by the way, I'll show you this one first, where Trump says Iran has not agreed to a U.S. deal because its leaders are strong and proud. That's why there's no deal. Okay, here, play this clip.
President, that Iran is begging to make a deal. True. They are so desperate to make a deal. Why haven't they made a deal with you yet?
Because it's a very hard thing for them. They've had great independence. They've dealt with very weak and ineffective leadership on behalf of the United States. And other countries, frankly, that allowed them to get away with murder. And I think they can't believe they're in the situation where they've been virtually decapitated.
But if they're so desperate, Mr. President, why haven't they said yes to the terms you're proposing?
Because they're strong. They're proud. There are things they never thought they'd be doing that they're going to have to do. They've got no choice. And it takes a little while. You're talking about 47 years of getting away with whatever they wanted. I mean, this should have been done long ago.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of the U.S. military's response to Iranian aggression?
And I went back to, I'm going to do a video on Iowa in a little bit because Iowa's turning blue. But I saw this video from January 27, 2026. Donald Trump goes to Iowa and he tells the people of Iowa that there is a beautiful American armada floating beautifully toward Iran right now, he says. Listen to how deranged this is. Play this clip.
And just, and by the way, there's another... beautiful armada floating beautifully toward Iran right now. So we'll see. I hope they make a deal. I hope they make a deal. They should have made a deal the first time they'd have a country.
And just- And then throughout the night and into the morning, what have they been posting about? Reflecting pull this, reflecting pull that. That's like the main thing, like the White House and Trump want, like a round of applause that they made a reflecting, I don't even know what, we don't care about your reflecting pool. Americans want healthcare. Americans want things to be more affordable.
