highly classified, you go to jail for that. and you go to jail for that. you should know that. classified information. you should go to jail for that for many, many years. >> lock him up, lock him up. >> jimmy kimmel with a mashup of donald trumps words concerning other peoples mishandling of classified documents. but, wow, meanwhile, stunning new reporting this morning that the nuclear secrets of a foreign government were among the materials seized from mar-a-lago. well have the lates...

Into the white house for a tour and they leave their phones inside a cubby for walking around and having that tour. joining me now, evy poumpouras, a former secret service agent. evy, thank you so much for being here. because i think when people saw this today, one of the first questions was, really? you could not find who did it? >> yes, i know. everybody really cant get over this hurdle. so, at the end of the day, the security that they are looking for -- weapons, looking for chemical biologic...

>> the risk is very high. look, i commanded a nuclear aircraft carrier task group. i slept on top of six nuclear reactors. i slept very well. because we had safe guards in place. we knew what we were doing, we werent in a combat zone. here you have the chance of a meltdown at the very dark end of the speck trup or an artillery strike that takes out, for example, spent uranium can release radio activity as well. so the risks, willie, are very high. and the question is, why is putin doing this, i ...

Structure built to contain radiation, from the damaged chernobyl nuclear reactor. of a, a closer inspection of their trenches was impossible because even walking on that dirt is discouraged because of radio activity. the deputy head of the state agency that manages the chernobyl exclusion zone told the a. p. today that he believes hundreds of thousands of soldiers damaged their health, likely with little idea to the consequences, despite plant workers warnings to their commanders. told the a. p....

Reactor that we now call santa susana. they obtained footage. and documents. of the inside of the melted core. >> the fuel swelled in size and structural damage was sustained. >> partial meltdown occurred in a reactor with no containment structure. the radioactivity was so high they had to open this huge garage-type door to try to vent the radioactivity out. to the rest of l.a. one scholar estimated that the release from the melt down could have been 250 times greater than that from three mile i...

The electrical supply to this facility. there is a backup supply but that could have been damaged too in this kind of attack and you might then have a fukushima type event where the coolant is unable to get into the reactor, the fuel rods over heat, they melt down, melt down a uranium sinks into the ground and you have radio activity in the ground and water supply and if hydrogen gas building up, you could see an explosion like fukushima and could go into the air, as well. all of these things ar...

What looked, what it would look like if youre trying to penetrate, to try to do catastrophic damage, to try and release radio activity, or cause a meltdown. what i saw tonight was an attempt to either take over that facility, because of its obvious strategic importance for power, or to simply have them power down. and no more heat tomorrow, for ukraine. and send a message. its still unclear quite frankly where the russian troops have gone, what this was all about, but i didnt see what a lot of p...

And dangerous. it has not released any radio activity in the atmosphere. they have not attacked a reactor. they believe it to be a training building, dormitory. it depends on who you talk to on the ground. a fire deliberately caused this close to an active reactor where ukraine gets most of its energy, a huge amount is another escalation and step up. and you do really have to ask whether this is an actual order from the ground to actually attack a nuclear plant. theres literally no military reas...

Troops into a combat position against russia, whether putting drones up in the skies over ukraine, whether securing volodymyr zelensky and others with sturdy contractors, we cannot sit on the sidelines, we cannot continue to argue that poking the bear is not going to lead to further destruction when clearly the bear is rampaging across europe. >> yeah, joe. i heard you agree there, feel free to weigh in, understanding your primary concern what you think most likely this is about choking off powe...
