The legendary roots crew. Questlove 639, saskatchewan yeah steve and now, here he is, jimmy fallon [ cheers and applause ] jimmy aha hey welcome, everybody welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome welcome to the tonight show. This is it, baby [ cheers and applause ] this is it, baby brother i love you, jimmy jimmy love you too, sir. Im your host, jimmy fallon. You guys, we have ice cube on the show tonight [ cheers and applause ] we also have Rachel Maddow on the show tonight [ cheers and applause ] hot show. Hot show. Of course, rachels in the news because she got a hold of Donald Trumps 2005 tax return on her show. A lot of people were saying, though, it didnt really show much. [ light laughter ] so, i guess last night people had to pick between watching this is us or this is nothing. [ cheers and applause ] well talk to her about that. But get this, the tax return apparently had a client copy stamp on it. Many think it came from someone very close to trump. [ audience oohs ] and melania said, well, i guess im off the hook. [ applause ] i mean, i havent seen him. I havent talked to him since january. Tell him i said hi. But at first, some people were skeptical about whether trumps tax form was real or not. But we took a look at the details. It definitely seemed like trump filed it. For example, for dependents, he wrote, ivanka, don, jr. , and whats her name. [ laughter and applause ] steve wow. Jimmy that seemed then for taxexempt interest, he wrote, im very interested in being tax exempt. [ laughter and applause ] thats not the question. And finally, for lines 36, 24, and 38, he just circled the numbers and wrote, perfect measurements. [ laughter and applause ] it seems real. Steve it sounds like him. Jimmy seems pretty real. David cay johnston had a lot to say when he was interviewed by Rachel Maddow. I noticed there was one point he showed a pretty interesting laugh. Check this out. Russians who are around putin and would be borrowing money from beijing . Mmhmm. [ laughs nervously ] [ laughter ] jimmy im not sure if that was a laugh or a sneeze that didnt happen. [ applause ] steve achoo [ light laughter ] jimmy meanwhile, the white house is also criticizing Rachel Maddow saying its totally illegal to steal and publish tax returns. Yep. They said the document was released the proper way, by having a russian hacker give them to wikileaks. [ cheers and applause ] thats how you do it. Thats how you get them released. It seems like these leaks have everyone in washington worried. In fact, a white house aide says that when he gets home, he turns off his work phone and puts it in a drawer because hes afraid it could listen to him. [ light laughter ] meanwhile, when she gets home, Kellyanne Conway hides her microwave in the closet. [ laughter and applause ] shes like, i dont want anything to do with that thing. Hot pocket first, then im unplugging it, putting it in the closet. [ laughter ] lets get to some sports news. I saw that the new york jets tried to get free agent Donta Hightower over the weekend by giving him cupcakes and wishing him a happy birthday on every tv in the building. Hightower says it was nice, but it only counts if they say it on facebook. And we already know that, right . [ applause ] you know that. Come on. Listen to this. I read that russia may have trouble getting athletes to compete in the 2018 olympics after the big doping scandal. People were confused. They were like, wait. You can rig an election but not a urine test . [ cheers and applause ] wait, what whats the rules . Steve what . Jimmy how does that and finally, this is kind of nice. I saw that the cast of jersey shore reunited in here new york the other day. [ cheers and applause ] steve wow.

Thats like one of those things, youre like, am i dead . Jimmy i mean, it was a a giant deal. I got home last night and susan bought me new sneakers. She went out when she found out i got the scoop she went out and bought me new sneakers. I dont know where she got them in our neighborhood at like 7 oclock at night. She said these are your you got the president s tax return sneakers. Jimmy yeah exactly, yeah. This is now a a bounty for anybody who gets the rest of them, i suppose. I will then give you these shoes. Jimmy you get some cool stan smiths. Yes. Jimmy walk me through this. When did you get the scoop and when did you how does it happen . Do people just send you things all the time, like leaked documents . So, we heard on fri sorry on monday, that David Cay Johnston, who is an investigative reporter, Pulitzer Prize winner, hes a a really good journalist, specifically on taxes and finances, he said that he had obtained somebody had sent him, what he believed to be one of Donald Trumps tax returns. And he was in the process of doing his Due Diligence to figure out if its real. Because, obviously all of us in this business are worried that like somebodys going to slip us a forged document, or something fake and its like a a trap. So hes doing his Due Diligence. He said if we can verify it, do you want to put it on tv . And i said, hm, yes. [ light laughter ] jimmy thought about it for a millisecond. But we need to do our Due Diligence, too. Like, we really need to be sure this is the real thing. Jimmy of course. So, that started monday. We spent all day monday trying to verify that this was a real document, these were real numbers. This was really the president s tax returns. That went overnight all the way through the night monday night into tuesday and we spent all day tuesday on it. And really the thing that we needed, we talked to tax experts, we talked to people who know what these things look like, we did everything we could to validate the chain of evidence in terms of how it got to david. But we needed the white house to tell us if its real. And, we didnt know how they were going to react when we contacted them. We gave them a number of hours to respond and its getting closer and closer and closer to air time on tuesday and we didnt know if they were going to what they were gonna say. And in fact, yesterday was nuts because we had to have kind of plan b and plan c ready. Like what if they came back to us and proved to us it was a a forgery, it was a fake document, we couldnt go to air with it . Jimmy did you have another show planned . We had a whole other show planned. We produced two complete shows yesterday. One was weve got his tax returns. And one was nothing to see here. [ light laughter ] were leading with something we had different guests booked, a whole different show completely lined up and ready to go, in case it fell through. And then in the 7 00 hour they finally validated and authenticated the document and said, yes, thats trumps tax returns. And so it was all systems go. We got a statement from em, you know, they started calling us fake news, blah blah blah. And then we went to air. Jimmy yeah. I mean, whats that feel like when the white house goes, yeah. What you have is real . Well, i mean, for us it was so all systems go, and trying to make sure that we had it nailed down right. I think the reason people got so excited about the news when i tweeted out in the 7 00 hour weve got it, were going to put it on tv. I think the reason people are so excited about it is because, its really weird that the president hasnt released his financial information. Jimmy its odd. Its really odd, and theres reasons to worry about it. Like weve had that from every president since nixon. Why is this the one who wont release it, especially because of the increasing worries day by day, further increasing worries about his contacts with Foreign Countries like russia. I think people are really concerned to see whats in those tax returns. And so when we found out that we had one, it was like speaking to a group of people dying of thirst in the desert and we were like, behold we have found a drop a drop you have a drop jimmy we have a drop of water and then its like, yeah, it is just a drop. You know, its not like this isnt scandalous information. Theres nothing jimmy why only two pages . Thats what we got. Jimmy wow. So somebody mailed us two pages, the 1040 form from his 2005 tax return. We have no idea who sent it to us, but the white house confirms it is authentic. Jimmy because this what you revealed last night wasnt that scandalous. Not at all. We know he paid taxes. Okay, so, why dont you want to release your tax returns, then . Theres nothing embarrassing here. Jimmy yeah, and how does David Cay Johnston react to this . Does he just go, yeah, just checking my mail. There was like this thing in my mailbox. Like, wait. What . Like, was it rolled up in an l. L. Bean or j. Crew with like a rubber band . Oh, thats pretty cool. Whats this . Oh, my goodness its Donald Trumps tax returns jimmy i have something that people yeah. Yeah. Well, apparently he was out of town. He was he said that where he was, was in palm beach investigating one of Donald Trumps real estate deals. But while he was in palm beach looking at that, one of his kids opened his mail, was going through his mail was like, dad [ light laughter ] jimmy oh, my gosh. We have a scoop. We got a thing jimmy thats the thing. I mean, it was unbelievable to watch. Because he said, yeah, could easily be leaked by someone from trumps camp. Sure, yeah. Jimmy because trump has been known to leaks things in the past. If it could come from anybody, it could just as easily come from i mean one thing in favor of the idea that it came from him, is that, hes the only person who could leak it totally legally without any concerns about getting sued by trump or anybody else. Right . Because you have access to your own tax returns. You could release them of your own accord. Theyre not threatening the leaker on this. They tried to threaten us for publishing them which is complete bull. But, i take the threat in the spirit in which it was intended. But it might have been him. Jimmy he tweeted about it this morning said does anybody really believe does anybody really believe that a reporter who nobodys ever heard of went to his mailbox and found my tax returns . And then fake news at the end. Jimmy and fake news again, yeah. If you want if you want your white house to authenticate this document and say that is a real document, thats one thing. If you also want to say, that is fake, thats one thing. But you then you cant be the same person. You cant be white house and the president saying saying authentic, fake, authentic, fake. The white house and the president are different people. They speak in different language on this . Jimmy yeah. I mean, im happy to deal with either one of these assertions, that its authentic, or that its fake. But pick one. Jimmy pick one or the other. [ cheers and applause ] and i want to talk to you a a little bit more about trump, if you dont mind when we come back. Absolutely. Jimmy more with our guest, Rachel Maddow when we come back. [ cheers and applause ] oh the things you say oh youre unbelievab e youre unbelievab e hyeaht i wanna rock right n w im lil yachty and im down if youre down im not the most lyrical kid known but im known to keep the party go n yeah well .

Were here with Rachel Maddow. Thank you again for coming on the show. I appreciate it. Oh, super happy to. Jimmy i have questions. So many questions like, do you have do you have any more of his tax returns that you might release . Like that im harboring for a secret reveal . No. I just have this no. But somebody thats part of whats interesting. I mean was there a huge damning bombshell in these tax returns . No. The bombshell here is that some of his tax returns have been made public for the first time when hes been trying so hard to keep them secret. So i want to i do want to know who sent them. I have no idea. I want to know if theres more where that came from, and i want to know why the president wont release more of them. I mean hes been sort of bragging today about how, yeah, those werent embarrassing at all. Look how much money i made. His kids have been bragging about how rich he is and how much it shows he paid in taxes. Great, if youre psyched about this, give us some more because we also want to know if you have big loans to like russian oligarchs or whatever. Jimmy whats the worst thing that could come out of these things . The reason you want any president s tax returns is because you want to know if he has is beholden to anybody. If hes got loans from somebody or if anybodys sort of inexplicably shoveled him a lot of money without a legit reason why. You want to know if he might be acting as president with divided loyalties. He might be using the resources of the United States to pay off somebody that he owes something to and we cant im not saying he is doing any of those things but we cant know unless we can see it. And thats why every other president back to watergate has released their tax returns. Thats why it remains a concern that he hasnt, and thats why what we got last night im psyched to have it, sort of the first piece in the jigsaw puzzle, but there needs to be more. Jimmy yeah. There needs to be more. He needs to actually disclose his [ applause ] jimmy do you think he does have ties with russia . Do you think hes lying to us and that he i dont know. I mean we dont none of us know. I mean it could be so in the Campaign People were like, oh, maybe hes not as rich as he says, or maybe he doesnt pay any taxes, or maybe hes not as charitable as he says, or maybe hes not really under audit. Like all those Little Things might be true. Okay. Thatd be interesting to know. I dont know that that would change the world that much, but what would change the world is if, you know, russia was interfering in the election and they werent doing it on their own, and he was in on it. You know . And if hes got ties to russia, if hes got ties to china, if hes got ties to foreign banks, if hes got any sort of financial entanglements that might affect his decision making, might change what he does on behalf of the country, so as to deal with his personal stuff. We really need to know that. Its a National Security concern. And if and if none of those things are true, if he doesnt have any of those entanglements, then show us the tax returns so we can stop freaking out about it. Because otherwise, were going to continue to worry that that might secretly be whats driving him, as long as he doesnt show us what every other president has shown us, that would set our minds at ease if its not true. I dont know why he wouldnt release these tax returns if there really isnt anything embarrassing in them, and the one bit that we got last night showed nothing embarrassing. Jimmy yeah. How does it feel to you being the person that it was leaked to . I mean, youre the person now. Youre winning. Youre beating fox news. Youre the number one show and youre the person that people go, yeah, i want to share my information with her now. I mean honestly, it just feels like a really big responsibility. Like, got to get it right. Like, have to not only not get played, make sure this is real information, you know, nobodys sending us a forgery. I want to make sure that we have given the white house we give them hours to respond to this. Were treating them fairly on this. Im not going to im not going to only put out information that i find thats terrible for the president. If i can advance this story, im going to put it out no matter whether it is good or bad for the president. I want to be trustworthy to my audience. I take it really seriously that somebody trusted me with this information. And were going to keep plugging away. Were going to get this thing answered. Were going to figure out about his finances.
