Yeah. Its a shame. Its an absolute shame. It is tragic. Yep. Thank you, joy. Thank you, my friend. Donald trump was the first president ial nominee who did not release his tax returns since 1976, and you remember his reason. Im being audited now. Im under a routine audit. A minor audit. Every year i have a routine audit. Its under routine audit. Like routine. But, but, as soon as my routine audits finished, ill release my returns. Im be very proud to. And of course most of the news media fell for the audit excuse. But there was never any evidence at all that Donald Trumps tax returns were actually being audited. Donald trump never produced an audit letter from the irs. Easy thing for him to do if he was being audited. If he wasnt being audited then, donald trump might be being audited now in the most serious review of his tax returns that he has ever been subjected to. Betsy woodruff is reporting in the daily beast tonight, special counsel bob mueller has teamed up with the irs accordi
Im so glad you mentioned the army corps of engineers. They have enormous responsibilities around this country and around the world, and responsibilities that most of us just ignore, pay no attention to most of the time. Usually because theyre doing their job so well. Yeah. Theyve had some failures as everyone does, but what theyre up against as this thing approaches and what theyll be up against after this is just possibly incalculable at this moment. The complexity of the decisions theyve got to face, how much water to let into the rivers, how much rainfall to anticipate, how much stress youre going to put on those levees, how many people to move out how fast onto roads that are already clogged. These are incredibly difficult situations for local and federal officials at times like this. And i dont mean to use this event as a political moment, but it is worth using it as an instructive moment that when people run for office in this government, attacking this government, these are the
The allegations of corfman and nelson. I did not date underage girls and taken steps to begin a civil action for defamation. Related to those allegations. And the statement, of course, comes just a couple of hours shy of this socalled 24hour deadline that fox news host sean hannity gave moore last night. Moore not the only one speaking out, though. Before that selfdeclared deadline. This is other part of the story tonight. New women who are going on the record against roy moore accusing him of some of the same types of behavior and patterns that the earlier accounts also allege. Gena richardson saying she was working at saers, moore asked for her phone number. She says given that request, she didnt give it to him and then get this. She alleges a few days later tri zitting in class at the high school and was summoned to the Principals Office over the intercom in the classroom. And she was told she had a phone call. I said, hello. Richardson recalled and a male voice said, gena, this is
Thinks it might have. Yeah. Its been interesting to watch this scandal both nationally and in alabama to have been so roy moore focused far week and a half now that this is brewing and were sort of reaching a point people realizing, oh wait, hes running against someone whos running a pretty good campaign. Yes. And it seems like its things taking a turn in doug jones direction. Alabama voters seem to know that theres another candidate according to the polls. For sure. A surge. Absolutely. Thank you, rachel. Thank you, lawrence. Today in an excoe of the september report that secretary of state Rex Tillerson referred to President Trump as a moron in a meeting at the pentagon after the president left that meeting, buzzfeed reported that National Security adviser hr mcmaster referred to donald trump as an idiot in private conversation and so today was one of those typical days in washington when youre if youre allowed the shout just one question in the president s direction, you have to dec
And boy, rachel, the reporting in the New York Times and ronan farrows extraordinary reporting indicate that the knowledge was very widespread in that company. Well, and, i mean, the fact that we now have to parse what was a joke, what was a rumor, what was witnessed, what was known about, what was covered up, that level the level of complicity and knowledge is quite a number in terms of how close people were to the story and how breakable it was before it finally made its way into print. So this is a story that obviously is a story about Harvey Weinstein. But its also a story about everybody who had contact with these allegations from when they started, and why it took this long for it all to come out. And there was massive coverup system built within the company in aiding and abetting system built within the company, even bigger than the descriptions of what we roughly know about how things worked in fox news. And the thing that i find that makes me want to do additional reporting on
