No, none of that is correct.
Nancy Pelosi is SECOND IN THE LINE OF SUCCESSION to run this country. She has a private conversation with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff. The discussion is taking the nuclear football away from the effective control of the then sitting POTUS.
Federal law enforcement and our military train under the scenario on if someone tries to take the nuclear football by force, or God forbid, what is the practical option tree if control of it is lost or, even worse, if the nuclear football is lost along with the sitting POTUS. It seems to elude you that these highly trained men would fight and die to the last bullet to protect the nuclear football, not just because it's their job and their duty, but because they will envision everyone they ever loved being incinerated in a potential nuclear holocaust.
There would be no peaceful way to "take" the nuclear football. It would have to be done by force. It would need to planned, well organized and have enough resources / manpower / assets to actually accomplish. It would violate the nation's entire history and tradition and function of the uniform chain of command. It would violate our Constitution. It would be, in effect, a pure coup d'etat.
It is all but impossible to convict someone of sedition in modern America and in modern American law, however this would be as much of a slam dunk for one, if there was enough evidence, as could ever be actually conceived.
You literally walked past open sedition to get yourself another big helping of Orange Man Bad.
You seem to be missing the biggest question here, if Pelosi wanted to take away tactical control of America's vast nuclear arsenal from our then sitting Commander in Chief, then WHO EXACTLY WOULD HAVE CONTROL OVER THEM?
That person, or group, were not elected by the American people.
That person, or group, would not be subject to any types of Checks And Balances, nor oversight, nor any accountability.
That person, or group would have unthinkable overwhelming power not granted to them by our Constitution.
That person, or group could kill every last single living thing on the planet.
