MSNBC guest uncovers super secret Nazi code in Trump’s half-staff order

President Trump gave white nationalists a win this week when he announced flags would be flown at half-staff until August 8. Because August 8 looks like 08-08 on a calendar, and "H" is the eighth letter of the alphabet, and "H-H" stands for "Heil Hitler."

“We have to understand the adversary and the threat we’re dealing with," Frank Figliuzzi told MSNBC's Brian Williams. "And if we don't understand how they think, we will never understand how to encounter them."

"The numbers 8-8 are very significant in neo-Nazi and white supremacy movements," he said. "Why? Because the letter ‘H’ is the eight letter of the alphabet and to them, the numbers 8-8 together stand for ‘Heil Hitler.’ We’re going to be raising the flag back up at dusk at 8-8. No one is thinking about this.”

"I know you’re keeping your options open there," said a very somber Brian Williams, "but as chilling as that is to hear, you’re saying it is possible that someone who knows better is authoring or editing the words that show up and are read verbatim or are supposed to be read verbatim by the president?"

"I am concerned about who is writing his script and his speeches and what would fascinate me is what he’s rejecting," Figliuzzi responded. "So it is possible that several iterations of this speech were given to him. Someone with expertise, and believe me, the expertise exists in our intelligence community and our law enforcement community, and our civilian population on how to counter radicalization."

He added, "So those folks could’ve advised him on writing an excellent speech that would have created an obstacle on this path to violence that we’re on. But he either chose to not take that advice or he’s not even willing to solicit the advice."
