Transcript of Trump GOES MISSING for 72 Hours as TROOPS WOUNDED in WAR!! New

Donald Trump has gone missing for 72 hours. He has made zero public appearances. They are now releasing old interviews that he did earlier this week on state regime media, which calls itself Fox. He had Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant hold a press conference instead of Trump doing the press conference. This, of course, follows Donald Trump's very suspicious physical exam at Walter Reed. I covered all of the red flags in the medical report that was released released on Friday evening at 11 PM. And this all comes at a time when we have learned that 5 Americans were injured in connection with this ongoing catastrophic and unlawful war by the United States and Israel in Iran, which the Trump regime through CENTCOM is trying to cover up. They're also trying to cover up the fact that 3 MQ-9 Reaper drones were destroyed targeted, shot down, and they now are displaying it on a video on Iranian regime media right now. And CENTCOM says no planes were shot down, trying to draw a distinction between a plane like an F-35 and the MQ-9 Reaper drones. Sure, I guess, but there have been multiple drones shot down, these $30 million, $50 million drones in the past 72 hours.

And the cover-up continues as Donald Trump continues to lie about, oh, there's going to be a deal, we're about to make a deal, manipulating the markets for his oligarchs while the American people suffer. As we reported earlier, an Iranian ballistic missile strike on a Kuwaiti air base on May 30th injured several Americans, at least 5 and, and maybe more. And it also severely damaged two MQ-9 Reaper drones on the 30th, and then also the day before, one MQ-9 Reaper drone was destroyed as well. This is how it was being reported in Kuwait. Hat tip to Bloomberg for getting the scoop. Falling debris from the intercepted Fatah-110 missile hit Ali al-Salem Air Base, causing minor injuries to about 5 U.S. personnel and contractors. Remember that Donald Trump refers to traumatic brain injuries as headaches and minor injuries, and he's done that consistently. So I just want to flag that right there. And then it talks about these MQ-9 Reaper drones that were destroyed. Iran has been showing what these MQ-9 Reapers look like after they've been destroyed and they've been shot down. Iran has been releasing the footage of their radar locking in and shooting down the Reaper drones and also showing that if they wanted to, they could shoot down an F-35.

5 as well. You know, here's what was going down again over the past 24 hours. There's lots of people who believed that one of the reasons Trump was missing is the US was also planning another major strike, a major offensive in the Strait of Hormuz. You had US Navy Central Command and UKMTO, kind of maritime authority in the UK, issued a critical warning yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz that major US military operations will soon be conducted, citing Iran's, quote, dangerous and illegal mining, with US forces on high alert for Iranian attack. Any vessels obstructing the operation or supporting mine-laying activities will be targeted by US forces. It was the same UKMTO warning that was issued on June 11th, 2025, before the so-called Operation Midnight Hammer. But after that, we then learned that once the US hit, uh, originally, remember, the US breached the ceasefire and the US, uh, struck, uh, an area in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran retaliated, hit, uh, this Kuwaiti air base, and were able to successfully target these 5 Americans there, service members, contractors. And again, it's probably more than 5, so we'll just say between 5 to 15. We don't know the number yet.

We know the Trump regime is covering this up, but Iran was able to target it, and then the U.S. kind of pulled back again. And so, as, you know, as, uh, Hamra Drezha Azizi explains the state of affairs over the past week: from the morning to the evening, the deal is almost done, it's just awaiting Trump's signature. Evening to the morning, Iran and the U.S. exchange fire around the Strait of Hormuz. I mean, As of this recording, I mean, a few hours back, Iran reports air defenses are being activated over Kashem Island in the Persian Gulf. This was what Central Command put out. Claim: Iran state TV claimed Iranian forces downed US aircraft near Bushehr. False. Truth: no US aircraft were shot down. All US air assets are accounted for, I guess, except the 3 MQ-9 Reapers and 5 Americans who are now injured as a result of the US breach of the ceasefire and then Iran retaliating by hitting this base. And then the soldiers were injured with so-called falling debris. That's what they always— that's what they always use in the Middle East. It was falling debris that hit our buildings, not the underlying drones.

So MAGA Mike Johnson rushed to state regime media. He rushed on Fox with Kayleigh McEnany, who was Donald Trump's former press secretary. And he said— and she even asked him, she said, so Bloomberg reports there were Iranian missile strikes that injured several Americans. Like, what's going on, MAGA Mike? Play this clip.

News. Bloomberg is reporting that there were Iranian missile strikes that injured several Americans at a Kuwaiti air base. We know the president was in the Situation Room for about 2 hours yesterday. He's been very clear: no dust, no deal. There could also be votes about Iran next week, war powers votes. Where do you think things stand?

Well, I talked to the president most recently last night about all of this, and you're right, he has dialed in on it. We've got to get the Strait of Hormuz reopened, and we've got to get this to a situation where there's no kinetic conflict. The Iranians, you know, there's a bunch of al-Jihadis over there, right? And the new leadership, I think, wants to bring an end to this conflict. I certainly hope they do.

And then, of course, they need to pivot. Okay, what are we going to talk about now? All right, let's just bring up religion randomly and go, so are you still praying in the congressional chapel that you took me to, MAGA Mike? Let's play this clip.

Final question. I just have a few moments, but are you still praying in that congressional chapel that you took me to?

Yeah, thanks for coming in. You came in, I think, maybe a couple of days after I was elected Speaker 2 and a half years ago almost. That chapel is well used and we've worn the carpet out, Kayleigh, because we're doing this on prayer and patience. We have the smallest margin in U.S. history and still Republicans have delivered for the people. So I'm really grateful for strong leadership from the White House and President Trump, the team that we all work together in unified government. We're going to keep this going and we're going to prove to the people they made the right choice. By giving Republicans control of the federal government.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, thank you for your time.

And then despite the fact that nobody has seen Donald Trump in public in 72 hours, MAGA Mike Johnson, who should be zealously defending Article 1 of the Constitution, which is the power of Congress, says, why would we put forward a war powers authorization? Let's just leave everything to Donald and let him handle it all. Why would we do anything here as a Congress who actually has the power over war authorization. Maybe that's because it's your power, and maybe because this is an unlawful war, and maybe because that's what your freaking job should be. I mean, have you seen anybody more spineless than this guy? Play this clip.

The War Powers Act on the House floor is being forced. It's going— they're going around the speaker with a discharge to bring that to the floor. I don't believe it'll pass, and I hope it doesn't, because we don't need to take the authority away from the Commander-in-Chief and the Pentagon right now at this critical moment. The Operation Epic Fury has long since ended. We're now in a new phase of this, trying to bring calm and peace to the situation. We need our international partners to help out. I'm very optimistic about that. The president is as well. But it's difficult sometimes to deal with people there when we've had a total change in leadership and they're still trying to get their bearings on who's in charge. So we're praying that this resolves quickly. I believe it will.

One of the things that—

then, as I noted, state regime media, which calls itself Fox, in lieu of Donald Trump not making public appearances following his Walter Reed exam, they're playing old footage of Donald Trump from earlier in this week, like an interview that Lara Trump did on like Monday of the week that they're still like playing clips right now. And just think about it. Lara Trump, Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, she knows about his physical and cognitive decline, about more than just about any. But we all see it though, obviously, right? And so you have the daughter-in-law interviewing the authoritarian. As we said on the Midas Touch Network, if you saw this in another country, you would be like, how utterly humiliating is this? And so this is what they're showing while Donald Trump has gone missing. Let's play this clip.

Be the entrance into the ballroom. The ballroom will be right here. This is a glass, beautiful glass tunnel. Beautiful tunnel that goes right into the border bones right there. Pretty good, right?

You've had so much fun. I feel like designing this.

Well, I did. It's going to be one of the greatest. I would say it will be the greatest facility of its kind ever built by far. There'll never be anything like it. And we're ahead of schedule. We're right on budget.

That's perfect.

And it's a gift from me and from great patriots.

And then she then goes on state— then you have Lara Trump do that interview. They play that clip. Then she's on state regime media this morning with the wife of Duffy. The transportation secretary's wife is the host of— Rachel Campos Duffy is the host of a Fox show interviewing Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, who is another host on Fox, about the interview with the dictator, with the Führer. And Here's what they talk about. The ballroom. The ballroom. Here, play this clip.

Long before the president said, you know, the ballroom would have been a solution to what had happened at the White House Correspondents Center, I had been on the floor and waiting for Sean to come back and my husband Sean to come back into the— I knew he was going to come back to get me after he was taken out. And I waited and he came back and his, his detail said to me, if we had a ballroom, This would have never happened.

And then as part of that interview between Lara Trump and Donald Trump that they play, Lara Trump's like, so having a conflict right before the midterms, not great. And then Trump's like, well, I guess we have a very short window. As our editor-in-chief Ron Philipkowski writes, kind of hurts your negotiating leverage when your opponent knows you have to get a deal done well before the midterms. Just in case Iran didn't already know, they know it. Art of the deal, man. Here, play this clip.

I'd imagine if you could have timed things perfectly, having a conflict just in front of the midterm elections at a time like this isn't ideal.

So if you wanted to play that game, then you would wait till the midterms are over and then the following hour you'll attack Iran because they cannot have a nuclear weapon. Most people agree with me on that. But then it gets maybe carried into, you know, the next election, whether it's a midterm or not. So you have a very short window.

And while Trump has gone missing, you had Pete Hegseth in Singapore And here's what, here's what he claims, that we control the Strait of Hormuz. Let's play this clip.

The wait has been an American effort, especially on the blockade, which has been ironclad and frankly has put the real pressure on, on Iran. They, they want to say that they control the Strait, but, but we do. And everything behind the scenes shows that we are in control when it comes to that, including how the, the dynamics of the negotiation are coming together. But—

And then he claims, look, the blockade is doing amazing. The blockade is very much in place. Let's play it. Did you discuss that with them?

And is that blockade still in place?

The blockade is very much still in place. And the Strait of Hormuz came up relatively often. And usually once we talked through it, countries were reassured that the American perspective accounted for that, which it did from the beginning, and that also our view toward energy, I think, will reshape the global map. And the president has talked about, whether it's Texas or Venezuela or energy production, how the future in energy is actually an American future.

But while all of this is taking place, I don't want you to forget the corruption, the criminality, the grift that's happening in plain sight. We've done so many videos on Donald Trump stock trades, right? 3,800 trades in the first quarter of all of these companies involved in the war and that meet with him. Um, You know that UFC fight that Donald Trump keeps talking about? We're doing a UFC fight on the White House lawn. I'm— it's going to be so big. I'm going to do a whole report on the UFC fight as well. But Trump bought up to $50,000 worth of stock in TKO Group Holdings, UFC's parent company, shortly before heavily promoting the UFC event. So Trump bought the stock in TKO. Also, the Trump administration in talks to give equity debt funding to US drone companies. It's part of the Pentagon's $1.1 billion drone dominance program targeting 300,000 low-cost drones by the end of 2027. By the way, good. We— that's where technology is going. That makes a lot more sense than doing $50 billion, $35 billion battleships, you know, battleships, Trump battleships. Stocks in these drone companies surge. But guess what? Trump Jr.

is an advisor and shareholder in Unusual Machines, one of these drone companies. He's helped other companies get close to billion-dollar loans, and he's making massive, massive amounts of money. And you know what Donald Trump was fined for all of the failure to disclose his stock trades? You want to know what the fine was? $200 for failure to disclose stock trades worth tens of millions of dollars within the required 45-day reporting period deadline. How utterly despicable.
