>> Jesse: HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.
YOU TOO, BRET.
>> Jesse: WE BEGIN TONIGHT WITH
A FOX NEWS ALERT.
WE FINALLY GOT OUR HANDS ON THAT
AFFIDAVIT USED TO RAISE
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S HOUSE AND, AS
EXPECTED, THE MEDIA IS FREAKING
OUT.
>> I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE HAIR
ON THE BACK OF MY NECK STOOD UP
WHEN I SAW THOSE CLASSIFICATION
MARKINGS REFERENCED HERE.
>> HERE IS A REDACTED PORTION
BACK IN THE BACK.
BUFF THE FRONT SEVERAL PAGES
HAVE BEEN UNSEALED.
>> JESSICA, LET’S START WITH THE
BIGGEST REVELATIONS FROM THIS
REDACTED AFFIDAVIT.
>> YEAH.
SO A LOT OF REALLY INTRICATE AND
QUITE FRANKLY STARTLING DETAILS.
>> WAS WAS A SEARCH NEEDED?
THIS IS SO UNPRECEDENTED.
SO UNUSUAL.
WHY DID THE FBI NEED TO GO AND
GET BOXES AND THIS AFFIDAVIT
DOES LAY THAT OUT EXACTLY.
>> Jesse: I’M NOT SURE WHAT
AFFIDAVIT SHE WAS LOOKING AT
BECAUSE THIS AFFIDAVIT DOESN’T
LAY OUT ANYTHING.
HALF OF IT IS BLACKED OUT.
HERE IS WHAT THE AFFIDAVIT
DOESN’T SAY.
WE’RE PRETTY SURE TRUMP HAS THE
NUCLEAR FOOTBALL IN MELANIA’S
SHOE CLOSET.
BUT HERE IS WHAT IT DOES SAY.
WE ARE LIKELY TO FIND EVIDENCE
OF OBSTRUCTION.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
THE LAST TIME YOU WERE THERE,
TRUMP LET YOU IN.
YOU HAD LUNCH BY THE POOL, AND
HE THREW A LOCK ON THE STORAGE
CLOSET BECAUSE YOU TOLD HIM TO.
NOW YOU ARE GOING TO GO BACK IN
BECAUSE YOU ARE LIKE LIVE TO
FIND EVIDENCE OF OBSTRUCTION?
AGAIN, WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
THAT YOU WILL LIKELY FIND THE
LOCK YOU TOLD HIM TO PUT ON THE
STORAGE CLOSET? AND, BY THE WAY, THE FBI AGENT,
AND, BY THE WAY, THE FBI AGENT,
THIS GUY NAME BRATT.
OBAMA DONOR.
GOT A WARRANT FROM A JUDGE WHO
ALSO DONATED TO OBAMA.
BUT THE BIDEN GUYS HAD TO GO IN
THERE, WHY?
BECAUSE SOME LIBERAL LIBRARIAN
AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES SAID
TRUMP CHECKED OUT SOME PAPERS
AND THEY WERE LONG OVERDUE.
>> YOU THINK BECAUSE OUR
CELEBRITY THAT SOMEHOW THE LAW
DOESN’T APPLY TO YOU, THAT YOU
ARE ABOVE THE LAW.
>> CERTAINLY NOT.
>> LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING,
FUNNY BOY.
[LAUGHTER]
YOU KNOW THAT LITTLE STAMP, THE
ONE THAT SAYS NEW YORK PUBLIC
LIBRARY?
WELL THAT MAY NOT MEAN ANYTHING
TO YOU BUT THAT MEANS A LOT TO
ME.
ONE WHOLE HELL OF A LOT.
>> THIS WHOLE ARCHIVES THING.
THE PRESIDENTIAL.
IT’S JUST AN EXCUSE FOR THEM TO
GO IN THERE.
NONE OF THIS CLASSIFICATION
STUFF EVEN MATTERS.
TRUMP SAID HE DECLASSIFIED
EVERYTHING, THAT WAS STILL THERE
IN THE BOXES.
THEY MAY HAVE HAD CLASSIFICATION
MARKINGS ON THEM AND THE MEDIA
IS USING THAT TO SCARE YOU.
BUT IF TRUMP DECLASSIFIES
SOMETHING AND A LAWYER DOESN’T
CHANGE THE LITTLE MARKING ON IT,
DOESN’T MATTER.
PLUS, HE IS THE PRESIDENT.
HE HAS LEGAL ACCESS TO WHATEVER
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DOCUMENT HE
WANTS WHEN HE LEAVES OFFICE.
THAT’S THE DEAL ALL PRESIDENTS
HAVE.
HE CAN SEE WHATEVER HE WANTS.
THEY SAVE EVERY PIECE OF
PHYSICAL PAPER AND THE ARCHIVES
KEEP IT FOR THE LEGACY, ARE BUT
IT’S ALSO FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL
LIBRARY OR IF THE PRESIDENT
WANTS TO WRITE A BOOK.
IS THE ARCHIVIST NOT GOING TO
LET TRUMP LOOK AT HIS OWN
DOCUMENTS?
IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.
SO WHAT’S THE PROBLEM HERE?
WELL, ACCORDING TO THE
AFFIDAVIT, THERE APPEARS TO BE
TWO MAJOR CONCERNS.
WHERE THE DOCUMENTS WERE STORED
AND HOW THEY WERE STORED.
THE AFFIDAVIT STATES I BELIEVE
THAT THE STORAGE ROOM AND OTHER
SPACES WITHIN THE PREMISES ARE
NOT CURRENTLY AUTHORIZED
LOCATIONS FOR THE STORAGE OF
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION OR NDI.
NDI IS NATIONAL DEFENSE
INFORMATION.
SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.
TRUMP HAS SOME TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION DOCUMENTS LOCKED
UP IN THE STORAGE ROOM OF A
BASEMENT OF A PRIVATE CLUB
GUARDED BY SECRET SERVICE
AGENTS?
THAT’S THE REASON FOR THE RAID?
THESE ARE 10 TIMES MORE SECURE
THAN HILLARY CLINTON’S MATERIALS
LEFT ON A SERVER IN CHAPPAQUA
BEGGING FOR OUR ENEMIES TO
PENETRATE.
BUT THEY ALSO DIDN’T LIKE HOW
THE DOCUMENTS WERE STORED.
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
IT SAYS OF MOST SIGNIFICANT
CONCERN WAS THAT HIGHLY
CLASSIFIED RECORDS WERE
UNFOLDERRED.
INTERMIXED WITH OTHER RECORDS
AND OTHERWISE UNPROPERLY
IDENTIFIED WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU ARE TELLING ME TRUMP’S
BIGGEST CRIME IS HIS FILING
SYSTEM?
CALL STAPLES RIGHT AWAY.
WE NEED A PARALEGAL IN HERE
IMMEDIATELY TO ORGANIZE THESE
FILES.
THIS IS WHY THE DIDN’T RELEASE
THE AFFIDAVIT.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE NUCLEAR
SECRETS HE WAS SELLING TO THE
SAUDIS.
NOW THIS IS ABOUT A FILE
CABINET?
WHAT’S IN THE FILE CABINET
AGAIN?
DON’T KNOW.
THEY WON’T TELL US BECAUSE IT’S
CLASSIFIED.
THEY WILL JUST LEAK IT BUT TRUMP
BASICALLY ALMOST GOT US KILLED.
>> THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE SAYING.
NOT LIKE TRUMP LEFT THESE
DOCUMENTS AT A COMPUTER REPAIR
SHOP RUN BY A BLIND GUY OR
ANYTHING OR FORGOT THEM AT A
HALFWAY HOUSE FILLED WITH DRUG
ADDICTS.
WHAT DOES BIDEN THINK ABOUT ALL
OF THIS?
>> SPECIALIZED AREA DECLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS IS, IT EVER
APPROPRIATE FOR A PRESIDENT TO
BRING CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS HOME
WITH THEM?
>> IT DEPENDS ON THE DOCUMENT
AND IT DEPENDS ON HOW SECURE.
>> Jesse: BIDEN SAYS IT DEPENDS.
HE JUST RAIDED HIS RIVAL’S HOUSE
AND NOW IT DEPENDS.
I THINK WHAT HE IS REALLY SAYING
IS BILL CLINTON CAN LOSE THE
NUCLEAR FOOTBALL.
HILLARY CAN GET HACKED BY THE
RUSSIANS AND MY FAMILY CAN LEAVE
COMPUTERS AND DIARIES ALL OVER
THE PLACE, BUT TRUMP HAS TO KEEP
THE LETTER OBAMA LEFT HIM AT THE
WHITE HOUSE AT FORT KNOX AND IF
HE DOESN’T IS HE A SPY.
TRUMP SHOULD HAVE JUST BLEACHED
THE DOCUMENTS AND SAID THEY WERE
PERSONAL.
THEY WERE ABOUT YOGA WITH
BARRON, JOHN JR.’S WEDDING
PLANNER.
THEN WOULD THEY HAVE CALLED OFF
THE DOGS?
HERE IS WHAT OBAMA HAD TO SAY
ABOUT HILLARY’S EXCUSES,
REMEMBER?
>> WHAT I ALSO KNOW BECAUSE I
HANDLE A LOT OF CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION, IS THAT THERE
ARE -- THERE IS CLASSIFIED AND
THEN THERE IS CLASSIFIED.
THERE IS STUFF THAT IS REALLY
TOP SECRET, TOP SECRET AND THERE
IS STUFF THAT IS BEING PRESENTED
TO THE PRESIDENT OR THE
SECRETARY OF STATE THAT YOU
MIGHT NOT WANT ON THE TRANSOM OR
GOING OUT OVER THE WIRE BUT IS
BASICALLY THAT I COULD GET IN
OPEN SOURCE.
>> Jesse: SO, SINCE IT’S TRUMP,
THE STUFF IS CLASSIFIED
CLASSIFIED.
YOU KNOW, THE GOLF BALLS, THE
MEN USE.
KANYE IN THE OVAL.
CLUMSY FISHING EXPEDITION.
LISTEN TO THIS THERE IS PROBABLE
CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT ADDITIONAL
DOCUMENTS THAT CONTAIN
CLASSIFIED NDI OR THAT ARE
PRESIDENTIAL RECORD SUBJECT TO
RECORD RETENTION REQUIREMENTS
CURRENTLY REMAIN ON THE
PREMISES.
NOTICE THE WORD ON OR ABOUT.
THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WERE
LOOKING FOR. THAT’S WHY THEY ASKED THE
THAT’S WHY THEY ASKED THE
EPSTEIN JUDGE WHY DID THEY TAKE
HIS PASSPORTS AND PRESIDENTIAL
RAIN JACKET?
EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT’S GOING ON
HERE.
TRUMP DECLASSIFIED A BUNCH OF
RUSSIA GATE DOCUMENTS AND THE
FBI WANTS THEM BACK.
THERE IS ALSO PROBABLY OTHER
STUFF IN THERE THE DEMOCRATS
DON’T WANT TO GET OUT.
SO THIS WAS A CLEAN UP JOB.
PLUS, A FISHING EXPEDITION
BECAUSE THEY TOOK ANYTHING THAT
WASN’T NAILED DOWN.
AND THEY HAVE TO BE SNIFFING
AROUND FOR JANUARY 6TH GOODIES
AND THEY WILL PROBABLY FIND
SOMETHING TO FRAME THEM WITH,
YOU KNOW, SAY THEY FOUND THE PEE
TAPE.
THEY CAN’T VERIFY ANYTHING
BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT’S
CLASSIFIED.
NO WON DOOR BIDEN DOESN’T WANT
HIS FINGERS ON THIS.
THIS RAID WREAKS, BUT WE HAVE
PROOF THAT BIDEN SIGNED OFF ON
THIS INVESTIGATION.
THE ARCHIVIST SPOKE TO BIDEN’S
WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL ABOUT AND IT
THE WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL SPOKE TO
BIDEN ABOUT IT AND HE SAID DO
WHATEVER YOU NEED TO DO.
BIDEN KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS
GOING ON HERE AND WHAT HIS BOYS
WERE UP TO.
YOU DON’T REVOKE YOUR
PREDECESSOR’S PRIVILEGE AND SAY
AH, I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING
ON.
LISTEN TO THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS
SECRETARY PLAY DUMB.
NOT A STRETCH.
>> WHO IN THE WHITE HOUSE KNEW
ABOUT THIS INVESTIGATION BECAUSE
THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN ADAMANT
THAT HE KNEW NOTHING, HE GOT NO
WARNING ABOUT IT.
>> SO, THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT
THINGS.
THE PRESIDENT WAS NOT BRIEFED.
>> ARE YOU SAYING THAT HE DIDN’T
KNOW ABOUT THE ACTUAL-THAT THERE
WOULD BE A SEARCH WARRANT
CARRIED OUT?
BECAUSE HE DID HAVE TO KNOW
ABOUT IT, ABOUT THE DOCUMENTS
BEING THERE BECAUSE --
>> -- AGAIN, TWO DIFFERENT
THINGS, RIGHT?
WE DID NOT NO, NO, NO.
WE DID NOT KNOW.
>> BUT HE HAD TO KNOW THAT IT
WAS THERE OR THAT THEY WERE
MISSING BECAUSE HE SIGNED OFF ON
GIVING THE ARCHIVES THE
AUTHORITY.
>> NO, BUT, DON, JUST TO BE -- I
WANT TO MAKE SURE WE SEPARATE
THE TWO, RIGHT?
>> Jesse: ISN’T IT FUNNY HOW THE
MEDIA MAKES A LIVING OFF
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS?
PEOPLE ARE LEAKING CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS TO THE MEDIA ALL THE
TIME.
THEY GET AWARDS FOR WRITING
ABOUT CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS.
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS,
TRANSPARENCY THEY ARE SUING THE
FEDS EVERY SINGLE DAY TO
DECLASSIFY STUFF.
BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS, THE MEDIA
NEEDS CLASSIFIED INFORMATION TO
BREAK NEWS.
ENOUGH TO THE MEDIA IS SAYING
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES CAN’T HAVE CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION.
THEY ARE SAYING IT’S ILLEGAL FOR
THE PRESIDENT TO HAVE CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION.
BUT NOT FOR THEM.
IT’S THEIR JOB TO HAVE
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION NOT THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
IF HE HAS IT, IT’S ILLEGAL.
YOU HE SEE WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?
THEY CAN REPORT CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION TO THE ENTIRE WORLD
AND PUT OUR NATIONAL SECURITY AT
RISK.
BUFF THE PRESIDENT CAN’T LOCK UP
THE SAME DOCUMENT IN A GHOX A
BASEMENT.
THAT’S PUTTING NATIONAL SECURITY
AT RISK?
THIS IS NUTS, GUYS.
AND THE CRIMINAL STATUTE THAT
THEY STATED IN THE AFFIDAVIT
DOESN’T EVEN APPLY TO THE
PRESIDENT.
HE IS EXCLUDED.
THIS AFFIDAVIT IS AN AIR BALL.
BIDEN JUST RAIDED HIS OPPONENT’S
HOUSE, BRIBED HIS VOTERS WITH
YOUR MONEY, CALLED HALF HALF THE
COUNTRY FASCIST AND THEN WENT
BACK ON VACATION.
AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO THINK
