00:00What do you get for a president who loves gold? Well, gold, obviously. Last week,
00:06while President Trump was busy signing executive orders and meeting with his cabinet about Iran,
00:10a couple of dudes in dark suits were spotted inside the White House,
00:14rolling around a cart full of gold bars. Now, these were not the little gold bars that were
00:19all the rage at Costco recently. No, no, we're talking Scrooge McDuck-level Italian job,
00:24treasure Fort Knox style, Bob Menendez's closet type gold bars. Obviously, the spectacle caught
00:30the eye of people in the White House. And when they asked the man pushing that cart what on earth
00:34they were doing with a cart full of gold, they reportedly said they were there to show President
00:39Trump. OK, but why and where did they come from? Well, they're apparently part of a stash seized
00:46from former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The post Charlie Gasparino was tipped off to this
00:52and he did some digging. Could this possibly be true? Well, Charlie says, yes, the gold did come
00:58from Venezuela. And yes, they were there for a presidential show and tell. But no, not from
01:03Maduro's personal stash. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum inked some licensing deals with a Venezuelan
01:09state-owned mining company that would basically help get the South American nation back into the
01:13global economy. Those gold bars were kind of a trophy to celebrate the deal.
