A few tidbits of information is slowly trickling out about the FBI raid on Mar-A-Lago. Some of the items the FBI took the trouble to obtain a search warrant for: a cocktail napkin, a phone list, charts, slide decks, letters, memos, maps, talking points, a birthday dinner menu, schedules, and more. Lock Trump up and throw away the key! Agents even went through Melania's clothes! After all this, the FBI had better not only produce the smoking gun but the warm body!

The political world was rocked by the FBI raiding President Trump's Mar-A-Lago compound. FBI agents, armed with a search warrant, went to Trump's home allegedly looking for documents that were taken from the White House without authorization. Really? At best that's a misdemeanor! We needed FBI agents rappelling from the roof and kicking in the door? But here's the thing: forget documents and all that. This raid was aimed right at YOU! How?

Did you catch President Trump at CPAC? He was great as ever! The audience also thought so. A straw poll was conducted and he came out on top. He didn’t mention running in 2024. Why not? Should Trump just declare his candidacy now? Or is he playing cat-and-mouse with the left? If he isn’t running, who would you like to see run in 2024?

Col. (Ret.) Tony Shaffer joins Rick to talk about what China's endgame is on NewsTalk 820 WBAP ...

There is two years to go until the next presidential election, but it's never too early to speculate: who will run for President in 2024?
