Breaking news.
The FBI was searching Trump's home because they were looking for
nuclear documents and
other items according to sources who spoke to the Washington Post.
So this story just broke, I'm gonna give you the detail sales as we have them.
Apparently, classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items
FBI agents sought in the search of former President Donald Trump's Florida residence
on Monday and that's according to people who are close to the investigation.
Experts in classified information said the unusual search underscores deep
concern among government officials about the types of information they thought
could be located at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club and
potentially in danger of falling into the wrong hands.
Look, I mean, guys, you think the FBI did it?
The FBI, which is led by Christopher Wray, a Trump appointee who was
confirmed by every Republican who voted in that confirmation,
you think they don't know the attacks they're gonna have to deal with if
they go through with a raid on a former president?
Of course they know.
So, the idea that they had to do this raid,
you should maybe consider what those classified documents included.
And, I don't know,
classified documents pertaining to nuclear weapons seem pretty serious.
>> Yeah, no, no, this is really bad.
Okay, so
I was wondering cuz they said earlier today that it was not about January 6.
So Merrick Garland said that I'm like, well, if it's not about January 6th,
what could be so serious that the FBI does something that they should normally do?
They should uphold the law equally for everyone, but they normally don't.
And it's not a Republican or a Democrat thing,
it's an elite versus not elite thing.
So, they let the elites usually get away with a lot more than any regular
person would be.
But in this case they're not and that was curious.
So it had to be super important, but not about January 6.
Because I would have assumed that Trump was hiding evidence,
whether it's about January 6 or something like that, that was incriminating, yes,
because remember he ripped up a lot of documents,
he flushed a lot of them down the toilet, and he's hiding this.
So, I just couldn't make sense of it, and that's what we kept saying on the show
the last couple of days, guys, you don't know what it is.
So, whether you're right, when you're saying he's definitely innocent,
how would you know?
>> How would you know?
Exactly. >> Right?
Or by the way, if you were on the left, and you were saying, I know what's,
how would you know what's in the documents?
Of course, you don't know, right?
So now we find out it's something we wouldn't expect.
So why in the world would he have material on our nuclear weapons,
classified information about that.
It doesn't get any more classified than that, right?
So, in fact, if you're leaving the White House, and you're the president,
that is the very, very, very last thing, you should take with you.
Number one,
people are gonna notice it's missing, if the nuclear codes are gone, right?
And that is the most classified information we have.
So why the hell would you want to take it, and you're not president anymore?
Even if you had the codes, and you told the generals to fire at China, and
they're like, hey lunatic, you're not the president anymore, right?
The only reason to take the nuclear codes is to sell the nuclear codes.
>> Yeah, okay, so
there's a statement from someone close to Trump that I read earlier this week.
I wanna cite the person's name, but
I obviously don't have it in front of me at the moment.
But he said that he thinks that Trump wanted to hold on to
the classified documents to sell them as White House mementos.
>> Look again, they say nuclear weapons-related, so we don't know for
a fact, if it's the nuclear codes.
>> We don't, no, we don't.
>> The launch codes, right?
And so we'll have to see about that.
But, I mean saying that it's about nuclear weapons,
what else could it be about nuclear weapons?
If it's classified, that means this is stuff about nuclear weapons that
we do not want other countries to know.
That is not a memento that you sell.
That is something you sell for billions and billions of dollars so
that someone could attack us.
>> And remember after the authorities went to Mar-a-Lago and
took 15 boxes of documents, this happened in the spring, afterward,
there was an informant, someone likely close to Trump who said no,
there's more classified documents that Trump is hiding.
At that point trump received a subpoena to hand over the remaining
classified documents,
any remaining classified documents that he may have, he did not comply.
And so two months after that, the raid happens, okay?
So that's the timeline, I think it's important to understand that timeline.
The sources did not offer additional details about what type of information
the agents were seeking, including whether it involved weapons
belonging to the United States or some other nations.
So, again, even though we know it's related to nuclear weapons,
we don't know all the minute details of what the classified documents say about
the nuclear weapons.
>> It's a great point because maybe he's not committing or planning to commit
outright treason and hand our launch codes to name a country, China Russia, whatever.
And by the way, guys, what did Trump view, not what you would view the presidency as,
what did he view the presidency?
As a way to get rich, to get richer?
Remember he was bankrupt when he went in, we saw that with all the stories that
broke about his taxes and all the different things, right?
And so it could be that it's not our launch codes, but
if you had India's launch codes, how much would Pakistan pay for it?
Or Pakistan's launch codes, how much would India pay for it?
If you had Russia's launch codes, how much would Ukraine pay for it, right?
There is absolutely no justification ever for a Democrat, Republican or
anyone else taking any information, secret, top secret classified information
about nuclear weapons of any country out of the White House after they leave.
>> Material about nuclear weapons is especially sensitive, obviously, and
usually restricted to a small number of government officials.
Publicizing details about US weapons could provide an intelligence
roadmap to adversaries seeking to build ways of countering those systems,
which I think is pretty obvious.
So, another thing that I read earlier today, obviously prior to this
news breaking was that Trump's lawyers have been advising him to cool
the rhetoric against the FBI and against this investigation because pretty soon
incredibly damning information is gonna come out, and he needs to be careful.
Now, he's never gonna be careful.
He's a bull in a China shop and so are all of his supporters.
So he's gonna continue doing what he's been doing.
But based on what we're seeing now, it does seem like those classified documents
were incredibly important, and were actually classified for a reason.
And I'm sure this will develop, and we'll have more details for
you as we learn them.
>> Yeah, and I keep saying launch codes, but we don't know that it's that, right?
>> We don't, yeah, we don't know.
But it is something about nuclear weapons.
If it's how we make nuclear weapons, that is also incredibly valuable.
And you remember after 2016, election there's a story at Mar-a-Lago where
people were just walking in, and they were overhearing classified conversations
where he was having with leaders of foreign countries at Mar-a-Lago.
And then they were like, could be Chinese spies that went to Mar-a-Lago, and
they're gonna overhear this conversation.
And then there was a story that the nuclear football was at Mar-a-Lago when he
was president, which he had, the nuclear football travels with the president.
Nothing wrong with that, but then the place is potentially filled with spies,
anybody can get in as long as they pay $200,000, right?
So, I mean, if other governments didn't have spies and
don't have spies in Mar-a-Lago now, they're nuts, right?
Everybody knows he had classified documents, I mean, at a bare minimum.
Even if he didn't intend to sell it to make money for himself,
A, why does he have it?
And B, by just having it loosey-goosey hanging around in the Mar-a-Lago basement,
any random spy can just walk down there and take them.
>> Or in his safe, right?
Look we don't know- >> You know how easy it is to get
into a safe?
No, the Chinese and the Russian spies are gonna be like a safe, well we're beaten.
>> No. >> Let's go back.
>> I've watched Animal Kingdom, I know how easy it is to get into a safe.
You just need the right tools, you just need the right tools.
>> Yeah >> Anyway, real quick, though, Trump and
his lawyers have until Friday to determine whether or
not they're okay with a federal judge unsealing the warrant and
the affidavit that led to the raid at Mar-a-Lago.
And it's already being reported that his lawyers are trying to scheme for
ways to prevent the unsealing of those documents and there's a reason for that.
His lawyers know things we don't know,
and apparently they know damning things that we don't know.
>> If they had nothing on him,
he would have released that warrant in one second and complied.
>> Immediately, yeah.
>> Yeah, and the fact that he was highly warned,
we told you over the last couple of days,
of course, that shows you that he's worried this is super damaging, right?
And guys, one last thing and this is gonna be the easiest prediction I've ever done.
So if it was a Democratic president like Obama, and
he took them to his mansion in Nantucket or wherever he lives these days,
I would say what the hell are you taking those home for, are you nuts?
That's a real problem and I don't know why on God's Green Earth you would do that.
If it was my top ally, Bernie Sanders, I'm like, dude, what are you doing?
Why, why would you get yourself in trouble that way?
Why would you get all of us smeared that way?
What, are you nuts?
But my prediction is the right wing will see this and be like, no, that's it.
It's no big deal, no big deal.
Of course, you give away nuclear secrets all the time.
That's the smart thing, that's the smart thing to do.
You cash in on the nuclear secrets, sell out America, that's what you do.
Plus it wasn't him, it was Antifa, plus they planted it,
plus they're gonna assassinate him, plus it's aliens and lizard people.
They're nuts.
So they will, almost all of them,
will defend him no matter what the evidence is, they won't care at all.
He could have betrayed America in the worst imaginable way, and
they would cheer him.
>> I mean, he already has in so many different ways, and they do cheer him.
Because to them, it's not about loving America, it's not about protecting our
democracy or a constitution, it's about protecting their cult leader,
their daddy and that's it, that's all that matters to them, it's sick
