What’s an illegal Nuke?

He might have been thinking of how aid to Israel in the US is illegal under a law which prohibits aid to nuclear states that aren't party to the non-proliferation treaty.

How does the US give aid to Pakistan then?

There are waivers allowed from the executive branch and I believe Pakistan got one after 9/11 with some antiterrorism benchmarks (conditional aid).

As I understand it the US doesn't acknowledge Israel is nuclear armed and so doesn't give them a waiver congruent with the law.
