what a week. with us, we have pulitzer prize winning columnist and associate editor of the washington post, eugene robinson with us. and columnist and associate editor for the washington post, david ignatius, will join us in a moment. joe, just a reminder of why the justice department might be a little concerned about nuclear secrets knocking around mar-a-lago. there was the time that trump spilled highly classified information to russia s foreign minister. or when he tweeted a highly classified satellite photo of an iranian space facility. or when he sided with the kremlin over america s own intelligence agencies. my people came to me, dan coats came to me and some others, they said they think it s russia. i have president putin. he just said it s not russia. i will say this, i don t see any reason why it would be. yeah. so with that in mind, we begin with new information on the fbi s search of donald trump s home in florida. people familiar with the investigat ....
Hatred that lead to attacks like the one yesterday. again, i always ask you for these historical parallels when i fear they re just really never we ve never seen anything like this. what are your thoughts? well, the scary thing is that we have seen things like this, and it led to cataclysm, what lincoln called the fiery trial in the early 1860s. eddie and i have talked about this off and on, and you and i have, too, joe. is this like the 1850s? do we have these this built-in, self-righteous, convinced power that is willing to put their own power ahead of the rule of law and the ....
You know joe, i m in the neo-nazi forums, the really far, far, far-right forums. this guy is not a creature of that. he is a creature of pro-trump forums. that s where he is. back in may, for example, he responded to marjorie taylor greene on twitter. he said, congresswoman green, they got away with fixing elections in plain sight. it s over. the next is what we used in 1775. that was the rhetoric that was permeating before this raid on mar-a-lago. they view it as a rallying cry. the last few days, they ve not, in any way, stepped back from that rhetoric. ben, i m reminded of pizzagate. i m reminded of the guy that drove down because he believed the lies that were being spread about hillary clinton running a pedophile ring inside a pizza parlor in washington, d.c. him firing off shots, going ....
Cornfield with him trying to shoot fbi agents and him dying. yeah, joe, i want to remind you, that today is the five-year anniversary of charlottesville. that s how far that rhetoric has done. it s taken over mainstream parts of this party. this guy over the last few years, since january 6th, was convinced he was at the capitol on january 6th, and he was convinced antifa had something to do with it until the day he died. he was there at the capitol. that does not happen by itself. this guy does not come to that conclusion by himself. it s because, every day he woke up and turned on the media, and it overrode the stuff he saw with his own eyes. they were giving him enough of a reason to keep waking up and reverse that reality. yeah. really great analysis. and live in an alternate reality filled with lies, with tragic results. shaq, what are we expecting to hear today in the investigation there? reporter: it s not exactly ....
Says, oh, i don t know, maybe nuclear secrets were stolen from the white house and taken down to mar-a-lago illegally. but whatever it is, we understand from the doj that it was obviously so critical, that they felt like they had to move immediately. joe, we still don t know, obviously, the details. we re hoping that the search warrant is revealed. but we do know from trump s own lawyer that the issue involved classified materials. i m told by a very senior justice official that this search warrant would not have been authorized unless there was a feeling that the documents in question posed a real danger if they were disclosed. and, second, that there had been some effort to conceal or withhold those documents. there was a very specific reason they moved in the way they did, and they moved only after the more informal process of seeking a subpoena, having discussions, ....
