Chapter 1: What happened during the FBI raid on John Bolton's home?
I want to go to the John Bolton story. First thing this morning, Rob, if you want to play this clip here. So John Bolton this morning is not at the house, by the way, similar to how President Trump wasn't at the house when they went to Mar-a-Lago and the FBI raided his home.
Well, this is what happened to John Bolton, and that's probably exactly what he looked like when he found out that the FBI showed up. Go ahead, Rob. Fox News alert. We're just learning the FBI agents have raided the Maryland home of former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton. It happened at 7 a.m. this morning.
Shortly after the raid began, FBI Director Kash Patel posting on X, quote, no one is above the law. FBI agents on a mission. David Spunt joins us now with more on this breaking news. Hey, David. Hey, guys. Not much we can say at this point, but information will continue to develop. As you mentioned, about 7 o'clock this morning, FBI agents raided Ambassador Bolton's home.
Notable, we're being told by two government sources that they are looking for classified documents as part of a potential leak investigation. We're told that Ambassador Bolton is not in custody. He's not under arrest. But it is notable they are at his Maryland home right now. We don't know how many agents are there. We're waiting. to get a picture of the scene coming in right now.
But we're told Ambassador Bolton, who was just on TV on another network a couple days ago talking about the Russia-Putin-Trump summit, is now under FBI investigation. Okay, Tom, thoughts? Well, you know what? Okay, Vinny, thoughts? Come on, Tom, you're going to say something. I do. Well, you know what? F-A-F-O. You know, you wrote a memoir. You leaked information.
You were a pain in the neck during the last year of his administration. You got the Biden administration to actually drop the suit. that the Trump administration, Justice Department, brought against you. Biden walks in, Justice Department, John Bolton, any enemy of my enemy is my friend, is what he does, and Biden does it. And so now they're going around.
Now, the headlines are going to be, Trump is going after his enemies. authoritarianism returns to the streets of America. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This guy was a leaker. This guy was a national security guy. This guy was was not good. This guy was like the hidden ghost of the soul of the Warhawks trying to get things. That's right. Even the Onion made fun of him.
The Onion made fun of him once where they had this picture that said, John Bolton stumbles into Capitol claiming Iran shot him and we must retaliate. That's funny. That's what he's saying.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of the FBI searching for classified documents?
I was just shot in the parking lot by Iran. Let's nuke him. Here's what some people said this morning about it. Kash Patel said no one is above the law. Exactly. If the agent's on mission... Dan Bongino said public corruption will not be tolerated. Pam Bonney said America's safety isn't negotiable. Justice will be pursued always.
Megan Hayes from CNN, a Biden advisor, said seems extremely political, extremely petty, suggested it smacks of pure revenge and represents poor use of FBI resources. Vinny, what do you think? Well, first of all, it drives me nuts that the other side has the freaking gall to even talk about, oh, they're using the law to come out. No, no, no.
That's what Letitia James, that's what all these people were doing for Trump for years, for years. Now, this was, I was celebrating in my car, Tom, on the way. And by the way, they were looking for documents. They're probably hiding in his mustache. But this guy is the epitome. This is the epitome, Tom. When they talk about the swamp. I'm with you. Preach.
Yeah, when they talk about the deep state, when they talk about the swamp, that's the guy. That is the face of the deep state. Okay, he wanted war with everybody. War with Iran. War with North Korea. War with Venezuela. Doesn't matter. He's that guy. He wanted the war. Then he blew up Trump's North Korea talks by running his mouth. He called it the Libya model, Tom. Intentionally, he did it.
Yeah, he basically telling Kim Jong-un, you're next, right? Yeah, well, Trump's heading over there. Yeah, exactly. And then he fought Trump on Afghanistan. He blocked the peace deals. And then you write a book talking crap about Trump and going after him. And it's like, this is the problem. I just hope. And leaking facts in the book that got him sued by Trump's Justice Department.
And good for him. I just hope, and mind you, again, guys, we're less than one year in. They're making all these promises. Let's put the Epstein and all that stuff aside. I hope this is the beginning of everything else coming after it. The Hillary, the bill, everybody that did something illegal, we want accountability. I'm happy it's starting with this guy, but I hope it doesn't finish.

Chapter 3: How do panelists view the motivations behind the raid?
I hope it keeps going. Well, John Bolton is known for war first, ask questions later. Trump is all about Bob Barker, let's make a deal. So these guys have clashed since day one. The craziest thing is Trump hired him as his national security advisor.
Like, if there's any difference between the first term with Trump and second term with Trump, Trump's bench that he was dealing with back then was so limited and so... Just not with talent and people that were on his side. You would hire a vocal critic of Trump. Now Trump is like, who the hell are you? Why the hell are you here?
Here's a guy who's made a career of bashing Trump in the last decade. And now, I don't know, some are calling it retribution. We'll see what happens here. But... No man is above the law. And you said this before, and I've heard other people argue the fact where they're like, well, he assigned him just like Christopher Wray.
They're like, well, if he's such a corrupt guy and it's like, well, Trump, when he first won, he didn't. Trump had no idea. Adam, you feel me? You just show up and you're like, OK. And you know what they say? The people in Washington go, hey, that's a great guy. Christopher Wright, hire them. But you made it. That's a great point.
Eric Trump was on this podcast and said, what happened the first time versus the second time with the people we put in to vet our selection is night and day. I believe that was a quote. It was night and day. And for people in the Dems to get up and say, oh, this is a terrible use of FBI resources. Remember who were the buffoons that sent those same FBI resources to Mar-a-Lago to find nothing?
Yeah. And raid Roger Stone's house at 6 o'clock in the morning. Watch out, Pat. Oh, there we go. Pat, I don't think anyone's shocked by this. It's like, what? John Bolton? Why do you think this happened today? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if this guy's in my top 50 list of people to go after. I don't know. When your guy sends me a message this morning on Manect, he got into trouble.
He hasn't drank for three years. He is at an airport. He drinks. It's public. Video goes viral. He's asking me, how do I handle this? We're having a conversation together, one of our clients. And he's screwed up, right?

Chapter 4: What are the reactions from political figures regarding the raid?
And as we all do, okay? But this is a big screw-up. He hasn't drank for three years. And somebody who has drinking issues or you've tried to get off alcohol, you know how tough it is. You say, I can get away with just one glass of wine or whatever, and the next thing you know, you're on stage, you know, dancing around the pole and people are saying, wait a minute, that's my accountant.
And, you know, so now. I mean, he's like, save that money. This is the most entertaining accountant I've ever had. I'm always audited, but damn, this guy's fun to be around. But let me tell you, so let me tell you how this thing works. So the whole point is, Sometimes it's redirect. Sometimes it's, you know, look over there. Holy shit, guys, what are we doing here?
And sometimes it's look over there and really look over there because something's there. So if they go after this guy and they find something, and he has some stuff, guess what? They're going to look good.
But if they go raid his house and they find nothing, they're going to look just like, you know, what was the guy that did it here, the judge that went after Mar-a-Lago and says, yeah, this wasn't Biden. This was my choice. I made the decision to go after a president because we had to find out what was going to happen. And they did that to a president.
So people on the left, that's like, I can't believe he's going after John Bolton. If Trump did this at Biden's house, And they went to Biden's house. Okay, now that's retribution. But if you notice, Trump's been fairly nice to Biden. He's not necessarily been like Obama every time Obama was like what? Well, it's what I inherited. It's an administration I inherited.
It's an administration I inherited. And all these liberals get up and they say, well, you know, you don't ever blame the previous one. It's all Obama did for the first four years. Go back and play the tapes. It's out there. How about Bush? Everything was about Bush's fault. Bush's fault. Bush's fault. Bush's fault. Bush's fault. It's like, dude, kudos to Bush. Love him or hate him.
When he became president and he got out, never said anything. He said nothing from that day till today. Yes, 9-11. Yes, all this other stuff. The guy for the most part has been a fairly, a non, what's the word? Non-

Chapter 5: How does John Bolton's history influence public perception?
influential player in the last. What is the NPC? He's not been somebody that's been that influential. So I don't know what they're doing here. Maybe there is something there. Maybe it's redirecting. Maybe it's misdirection. Whatever it is, time will tell. And we'll know within a month or two or three months that something was there or not. I agree. It's a risk.
You come unglued with Letitia James. You don't want to be Letitia James by mistake. Yeah, you don't want to do that. I agree. You don't want to do that. Okay, so out of the list, him being on one of them. Him down there, yeah. Him down there, him downstairs.
Him, John Bolton, John Brennan, Hillary Clinton, all of the cases that they're going to talk about, the indictments are coming, they're going to be talking to everybody, they're going to have everybody in court, the deposition that they have to do. Out of what percentage do you give one person going to jail? One. Getting indicted and actually seeing prison.
I actually think there's a 25% chance someone's going to jail. That's pretty high. I think there's a 25% chance someone. I don't know who. But I think someone. We deserve one. There will be a fall guy. I think there's going to be someone that goes. Who? I don't know. Let me tell you what's the weirdest thing. You know. I had Michael Wolff on the other day. We had him for an hour.
We had a podcast, and we've been speaking a lot lately because the interest in this topic. Last night, I'm watching the Jelaine Maxwell documentary. Have you watched it? Tom, have you watched it on Netflix? No, I've not. Maxwell on Netflix. Highly recommend you go watch it. Highly recommend you go watch it. Let me say it again. Highly recommend you go watch it.
We were glued to the screen, me, my dad, and my son. Just watching how Epstein was the replacement of her father the day her father died, how close her and her father were, and some of the things that he taught her.
Some things that I never knew about her, their methods, some of the clients that were talking when they were taking them upstairs, and literally they would bring 16-year-old girls upstairs to their penthouse.

Chapter 6: What are the potential consequences for John Bolton?
Hey, can you bring the clothes upstairs? And they would bring them upstairs, and they would go in the room, change in the robe, come out. So imagine the 16-year-old girl is sitting right there. They, right in front of her, start kissing each other, and they start fooling around. And then they would look at her and invite her, come join us. That was their method of doing it, right?
Very interesting when you see that. So for me, I talked to Michael Cohen a couple days ago. We're having a conversation together about what's really going on. And his position has changed. All of a sudden, now he's complimentary. All of a sudden, now he's a little bit more complimentary to the president. All of a sudden, Hillary's complimentary to the president.
All of a sudden, Joe Scarborough's complimentary when he's saying Newsom's trying to be like Trump. All of a sudden, a lot of people are complimentary. So the moment people dramatically switch that aggressively, it's one of two things. There used to be a song, you know, the head... you know, player in charge, you can replace the player with another word. You know, that's the guy today.
They either fear him, and he has the personality of saying, do something, I will destroy you. Play along, we'll be friends. But I swear to God, if you do something, I will destroy you. And they believe him. There's a big difference when you build a reputation like that. To be who he is today took 40 years of building that reputation in the marketplace.
You're feared, you're hated, you're an asshole, and you're comfortable being that person. So you create friends and allies, and some that always know behind closed doors, holy shit, this guy can destroy me if we really wanted to. And so that's his rep. And people are kind of starting to realize, maybe this is somebody not to mess with. First thing Tom said is what? You know, FAFO.
F-A-F-O, right? F-A-F-O. F-A-F-O. That's exactly what's going on right now. But I will tell you, it's slippery slope if there's nothing there. You better find something. If you do this and you don't find something, they're going to say you're just like the previous administration. You're using the DOJ. Trust me. All day today, this happened what time? 7 a.m.
It happened two hours and 20 minutes ago. Watch how all day today, this is the easiest content for Newsom, Warren, AOC, Mamdani, everybody on the left is going to say they're using the justice system to go after their opponents. They're using the justice, and this is such an easy layup for the left to run with, and they're going to be doing that. But if they do this...
and then the next week, two weeks, four weeks, six weeks, they show something, holy shit. That's credibility. But that's such hypocrisy, which I think is the point that you're making here, is that all they did was weaponize the justice system. All they did was do that, and then to do this.

Chapter 7: How does this event reflect on the current political climate?
Speaking of hypocrisy, one thing I just want to speckle with Bolton, this guy is known as the biggest warmonger around, but he never served in the military whatsoever. I think a lot of people are frustrated by people who have never served or are not actual tough guys, have actually never served their country in that capacity, who are calling for war.
Trump never served in the military, but he's not a warmonger. If anything, he's a dealmaker trying to make peace. So I feel like people are a little disgusted by the hypocrisy for someone like this. And the mustache. Okay, you can officially go to the PBD Podcast Circle on Manect, and you have the option of having three different categories.
