tonight that one of the republican state senators in arizona who s been promoting the audit thing in arizona all along, he s now selling t-shirts promoting his cause. the cost of his t-shirts, it s a sliding scale by size. they re $35 to $45 for a t-shirt. wow, order yours today. it s $35 for a small or $45 for a double extra large, which frankly just seems rude. the washington post reports tonight former president trump seemed to have found a tidy path through the wreckage to pay his living expenses via this nonsense he continues to stoke. the headline in the post tonight, quote trump s pac collected $75 million this year, but so far the group has not put money into pushing for the 2020 tally he touts. it raised about $75 million the first half of this year as he trumpeted the false notion the 2020 election was stolen from him. but the pac has not devoted funds to help finance or push for similar endeavors in other states, according to people familiar with the finances. instead th
republican policy now? i think that s right, garrett. we see this going on in a number of states. georgia, and the effort you mentioned in texas and there s another effort in florida where republicans control legislators and including restricting the way they can obtain absentee ballots and giving more powerto poll watchers. apologies for my puppy barking in the background. i m sorry about that. axel furious about voting restrictions. he sure is. the ostensible purpose for this audit other than to find malfeasance that doesn t seem to be there is to restore confidence in the voting process. i wonder if the sloppy way this has all been conducted, did it give confidence to anyone? if you look at this audit thing,
here he is defending the president. as far as i m aware, the president says he s still under audit. [ booing ] he s the central issue of the campaign. hillary clinton and her campaign repeatedly criticized. so you would think that senator cotton and other politicians, especially republican politicians, they have made the calculation that it s not going to hurt them to defend the president with this audit thing, because the president still won. but do you think that s a good political calculation? that s up to them to decide in their districts, i suppose. you heard all the boos. you did hear boos. that was interesting, because when you look at polls, donald trump supporters don t really care he didn t release his taxes. they voted for him, they re fine with that. but it is interesting that republicans are getting some
really really. shannon: white house getting grilled again on the president s taxes. they say he can t release them because he is still under audit. tax protests across the country calling on the president to make that information public. rich lowry a fox news contributor. rich, why not release them? just put this thing to bed. do you think he will be open to the argument? he should have released them long ago and move beyond this. i doubt he will ever release them. the audit thing feels like an excuse for his personal preference not to release them but politically the polls show by wide margins people want him to release them. by the end of the day is anyone
option out there. it wasn t just it wasn t just about the audit that prevented the campaign from releasing his tax returns? i think the president wants to maintain that position it was related to the audit because, again i literally i heard him say this on the campaign trail. i heard him say it in front of an open mike. he didn t want 500 people looking at it, questioning every single thing in the return and having that be cannon fire or powder for the auditors. for me, you have to remember why he got elected. he is a phenomenal business person and a great deal cutter. it turns out that he is a fairly nifty political strategist. his decision not to let out the returns i think was a good one. we should point out on the audit thing i m a broken record on this. his attorneys did release a letter saying that his returns prior to 2004 are not under audit. look, i mean, it s obvious that donald trump is guilty of
