There's been so much misinformation.
So you need to know the truth.
Active misinformation even after it's been fact checked.
Including about declassification.
Because while the goalposts have moved many times this week with regards to
Donald Trump.
That there's nothing there or if there is it was planted or
if there was maybe it wasn't planted but it's probably not serious.
Or if it was serious, don't worry about it because he can do whatever he wants.
He can declassify it, not so fast there.
So some have been arguing that he could declassify any of those documents so
there's no case here.
But for information to be legally declassified there must be written
documentation that the declassification process was followed.
And if that sounds bad,
that's just the first layer of how inaccurate their claim has been.
Because that's for the sort of declassification that the president can do
under normal circumstances.
He can't just wave a wand over the paper.
It's a written process.
But did you know that there are many documents that
the President can't declassify even under that process.
So documents pertaining to intelligence sources or
nuclear weapons that are classified under US Statutes.
That's how they're classified.
Not the executive order that governs most classified information in the US which
bears on the President's power, they're separate tracks.
And so he could not declassify these things even if he followed
the normal process which he very much did not.
And so bear that in mind as you continue to hear all day from Fox news that this is
a nothing burger because he can just declassify it, even if he could.
They'd never accept a democrat doing that obviously, but he also can't.
I also just wanna throw one more thing for you guys to respond to.
There were documents that were taken by the FBI related
to the pardoning of Roger Stone.
Amongst all of this stuff, I just find that so fascinating.
That he kept stuff about national security nuclear stuff.
Roger Stone and a little bit about President Macron, oddly enough,
you never know if I was President Macron, I'd be worried about that file.
Ok, so, first let's go through the lies is my favorite part.
First they said there's nothing to find there.
This is a ridiculous witch hunt.
Nothing to find.
Then they said the FBI planted it.
Wait, I thought something.
It's a plan.
Yeah, I thought there was no nothing to hide.
Okay, Alright, we're moving on the line, number two, the FBI planted it.
Now today Donald Trump blows a hole through that because he's like,
let me tell you something.
Okay, there are documents.
There was something to find.
And I said earlier that the FBI planted it.
But you know what I secretly declassified it.
Wait, did you declassify the documents?
They planted?
He said both things.
No guys right wingers.
I know you're extraordinarily unintelligent, but
you have to find a lie and stick with it.
Okay, now, I know you guys don't care.
You could say at the same time, January six was antifa and the greatest patriots
in the world who are political prisoners who should be released and tourists all I
know that you are able to keep all these thoughts in your head at the same time.
It's kind of a gift.
Okay.
The rest of us are burdened with having to deal with truth.
Okay.
So, but in this case, just as a helpful hint,
you might want to stick with just one lie.
Okay. I know it's never gonna happen.
Why? Because their dear leader is an idiot.
If I was facing the espionage act, I wouldn't just go out on true social and
be like, you don't want to think they're planted it.
Yeah. You know, nothing do exist.
And I had them and I secretly declassified them.
Goddamn!
You need paperwork.
I didn't know you needed paperwork.
We're back. Did they planted it?
Okay.
I mean, and this is the guy they think is their leader genius.
And guys, I said a long time ago and I got this, you know, kind of wrong or
you could say completely wrong because I paid the bed off.
But I said at some point that that trump while being president was gonna run
away right?
And it was just, it was crazy and it didn't happen.
He said, but why did I say that?
Because he is so monumentally crooked and so monumentally incompetent that I
thought he just gonna bungle this all over himself and all the democrats had to
do was just nudging one inch and he'd fall and he'd take his ball and run home.
Right, well it turns out he took the nuclear football and ran home.
Okay, but under different circumstances but
the fact that the democrats couldn't put this guy away.
Unbelievable.
Look at how stupid he is, which leads us to the second really important point guys,
if you're right winger, just be honest with yourself for one second, why the hell
would anybody take information about nuclear weapons home with them?
Why that is the most top secret information and
it must be kept in a certain building so that by the way mar a Lago
probably filled to the rim with spies can't just walk into a room and
take it even if he thought trump something is like he's the purest,
most angelic guy you've ever met, jesus christ if you believe that and
that's 40% anyway, but but you know, he's not supposed to just
keep it in the freaking basement when anybody can walk in,
why just think for a second, why the hell would he do that?
I always say shoe on the other front, if it was Bernie Sanders,
he became president after the presidency, he takes home the nuclear codes or
whichever nuclear information that that trump took that is the most top secret
classified I would say that's super weird.
I wonder why Bernie took the nuclear codes home.
I would wonder because I have a brain.
Okay.
But you guys, you don't wonder, you're like, yeah, well amen.
Well you take the nuclear codes home so you can play around with them.
No, there's only one reason you take them to sell them.
Yeah, leverage.
And now we have to add like a couple of dollars signs and
like an underscore to the end of the codes.
It's just so annoying to have to reset those.
You think they reset them after every president, but they don't actually, so
now it's just such a to do, I just want to name that like, you know the dark Merrick
garland memes are precisely funny because this is like the least dark dude ever.
Like this is the least.
Like I'm trying to go after someone for
because of my political leanings because their political like no, no, no, no, no.
These guys are centrist through and through,
they would not do something like this.
And granted, I don't think progressives would do something like this just to score
political points.
No, you don't do something like this unless there is a serious security breach.
Now Merrick Garland must have gamed this out or
not gamed this out because I don't know if he meant to make us wait a bunch of time,
like a 40 minutes for his press conference and then speak for
two minutes and then they were gonna release what it really was.
But you've got to imagine that they knew they were gonna stir up a lot of trouble.
A lot of violence.
And that they were preparing for this.
But also that yes, while he knew there wasn't that the biden administration
was insulated from knowing when this raid was going to happen.
I think that needed to have been made clearer a little bit.
So anyway I guess what I'm saying is I don't think he's going to do something for
political purposes but I do think maybe he could have quelled some of this
misinformation potentially gotten out ahead of it.
No I actually don't agree with that.
For instance,
there's no way in the world you could quell misinformation from the right wing.
It's a tidal wave.
So Trump.
Also said today, well what about the 33 million documents that Obama took that
also had nuclear information by the way,
accidentally admitting he took doc with nuclear information.
Oops he's so stupid.
He's the dumbest person I've ever seen in my entire life and I'm not exaggerating.
Okay yo joe Obama took nuclear stuff too.
You know I just admit it.
Goddammit God how could you look up to a guy like that.
Anyway so of course then the government has to come out and
say no President Obama never took home any documents let alone nuclear codes?
No it's just not remotely true.
How are you supposed to tide that?
Mr I couldn't even guess.
I don't even know who would have made that up.
It's not from anything.
I think it's just how many emails did Hillary have?
33,000.
Right? 33 million of the it's just a bigger
version of that.
No, but seriously think about a book that's 500 pages long.
33 million pages.
What does he have an aircraft hangar that he's got it in?
Do you have any idea how big that would be?
It's madness.
It would be a massive dump.
Okay.
Well Ivana's grave this big.
But like Exactly.
Yeah.
So look there's a little bit more on this.
I want to make sure that we get to really fast.
I just want to give credit to john federal because it's just a light every day.
We don't know that it was the nuclear codes.
And by the way let's just be clear.
There were no references specifically the stuff that was seized being
about anything nuclear.
Now to be fair it was super vague.
It was not about any of what it was about.
So it might have been about nuclear stuff.
But I did appreciate his tweet saying the only code you're allowed to steal is up up
down down left, right left, right.
B. A. Start which for the gamers is delightful.
But anyway.
So we don't know exactly what he had.
There's no good reason to have it.
Whether it's just for bragging or whatever that's not good enough,
let alone all the stuff with Jared Kushner and the lawyers working for the Saudis and
the probe back in the days of the trump administration where he was
trying to expedite the process of transferring nuclear technology to
the Saudis at that point, the whole thing absolutely reeks.
I mean can I just say T.
I. T. Msg has broke the store ken Klopfenstein when he was here about how
they were trying to transfer nuclear technology to the Saudis and
now trump has nuclear technology in his basement which he has no business
having wildly awfully illegal.
And let's note for
the record Jared Kushner just got $2 billion dollars from the Saudis.
And by the way like it is suspicious enough for trump to take anything but
considering trump the guy who to get him to read C.
I A daily briefings like the most dramatic action packed stuff in the world.
It had to be bullet points with his name in it and pictures of puppies for
him to steal basically books, how corrupt does it have to be that dude doesn't want
to read, He's not gonna be like in his waning years going down and
flipping through all those were the days.
Remember the nuclear codes from yesteryear, up,
up down down left, right left, right.
We all saw this coming, come on who among us when when trump was elected would be
like everything's safe, state secrets, Everything's safe documents.
Every super safe.
Of course we saw this coming.
Of course he's gonna do the tacky is the thing you are not supposed to do.
He's going to do it.
Yeah.
Because he has no moral bounds.
People keep projecting their decency onto him like yeah.
And their intelligence onto him.
Yeah. But who would be stupid enough to think
that they could sell top secret information about our nukes to a foreign
country and not get caught.
Ding ding ding, correct answer.
Donald Trump.
Of course.
Of course he's that stupid and of course he's that corrupt.
Get it through your head.
He's not anything like you has no morals, no empathy and no intelligence.
That's what I've been saying this entire time as people talk about.
What do you think his strategy is?
His strategy was to hide nuclear codes in the goddamn basement?
You're so dumb.
You know, to your point about Merrick garland, Francesca.
So Merrick garland!
Dark Merrick garland.
Are you kidding?
The guy's a mouse?
We can see him.
Like you see it with your own like eyes, right?
And they're like, no, he's like mike Tyson.
He's like, he's softer than a pillow.
So I guarantee you this was a conversation they had at the justice department.
There's no way we're charging this guy.
We're so afraid of what the consequences.
And they're gonna say we're politicizing there's gonna be violence.
They're gonna try to kill some FBI.
No way.
Which he took the nuclear codes.
Are you serious?
That's the only thing.
It was just like, yeah, we should raid.
Alright, again, it's information about nukes.
They have not been clear that it's the codes and they don't know what it is.
Yeah.
So, but there is no answer for
the right wing when you ask him why he might have taken it.
And right now, the last things they're on is trump said, look, he just asked,
dude, they asked, asked and asked and then they came by and
you gave them boxes that didn't have the nuclear information and they're like,
I can't believe he didn't give it to us.
Now, you're forcing us to radio you moron.
We're not gonna just let you sell it, you idiot.
Right?
And so this And did you have to ask?
How could anybody believe this guy, jesus, right wing?
I know a lot of the establishment is crooked, wow.
You figure that out.
Okay, that doesn't mean you have to follow a madman.
