And between 2000 and 2015, he paid taxes only five times because most years he reported losing millions more than he earned. You made what, 250 million in the last year . 605 million. Okay. Reporter while the New York Times says it will not publish the actual records to avoid revealing its sources, the article reveals among the writeoffs trump has taken over the years are more than 70,000 for haircuts while on the apprentice.

The two men argued and they went separately to the parking lot when witnesses say they heard gunshots. Turning to prepping your home for the cold weather and how best to protect your family from the spread of the coronavirus. I spoke earlier with dr. Darian sutton. Dr. Sutton, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Lets start with the big headlines from this weekend. Were close to 1 Million Deaths worldwide. 33 states are seeing an increase in cases. In wisconsin, more than 27 of tests are coming back positive. That number ideally should be in the low single digits. The respected university of washington forecasters warn of a major winter surge. Not a lot of good news. Whats your take on where things stand . Its distressing. When that number comes up that high, it means three things. Number one, this virus is very present and persistent. Number two, our behaviors are likely accelerating its spread. The third is many people who are likely sick or symptomatic are the only people getting tested in that situation, so its likely there are many cases that continue to go undetected. A new study shows about 9 of the country has been exposed to the coronavirus. Thats a long way from herd immunity to the virus. Does that put even more pressure on the race for a vaccine . Given the wealth and resources of the United States, i consider us discussing the use of herd immunity via natural infection as a failure in terms of our response to this pandemic. Herd immunity is quite complicated. Although a vaccine could provide help, theres still many variables to be answered. Number one, the effectiveness of this vaccine, availability to provide it to everyone and participation are questions for answered, and the continuing question of waning antibody levels on those who have already been naturally infected. We still have a lot of things to be answered in terms of herd immunity and vaccine use, but there are tools we know to be effective. That includes wearing a mask, socially distancing, providing accessible testing to everyone. Those are key traits that we can use and are honestly better than any known treatment or vaccine that we currently have. The coldest air of the season is hitting much of the midwest and parts of south. As more people head indoors, what can be done to keep the virus at bay . Protection does not have to be complicated or expensive. I advise the same thing to all of my patients. Making sure to take caution around those who you dont live with by wearing a mask. Washing your hands and socially distancing. Avoiding indoor environments that have closed circulation like air conditioning or heating. Making sure to get tested if you are symptomatic. These are key things that we need to continue doing to prevent this virus. And i know that is extremely exhausting, but we have to make sure that we remain vigilant as this virus is very much present. Our thanks to dr. Sutton, who kept hammering that message weve been hearing since march, wash your hands, remain six feet apart if you can, wear a mask. He says thats still the best way to protect ourselves in this climate. I saw a story over the weekend about what types of weather are good for, you know if its sunny, then yeah, go outside, keep a social distance. If its overcast, cloudy, those are times where you could be more susceptible to getting a virus. So Pay Attention to those things. So much to think about. The date is almost october 1st, yall. Coming up, the history that was made sunday at the washington browns game. It happened both on the field and the sidelines. The heat eliminate the Boston Celtics in six games.

Money, money, money reporter revenue from the apprentice is running out, and the times reports lobbyists and foreign officials paid top dollar at Trump Properties like his maralago resort and washington hotel, transactions that could be seen as conflicts of interest as the president did not divest from those businesses when taking office. It reports profits at maralago rose after trump announced his candidacy, the president bringing in 6 million in initiation fees for the exclusive club in 2016. You have to understand that when americans read that you may have paid only a few hundred dollars in federal income tax per year, that seems very low for someone whos a billionaire.

And the campaign is now selling stickers on its website that say, i paid more income taxes than donald trump. We are now joined by abcs senior editorial producer John Santucci whos covered the Trump Campaign since 2015. John, lets jump right into it. What stands out as most surprising to you in this New York Times story . Theres a lot in here, mona. First, the fact that donald trump for the year that he was on the campaign trail and the first year he entered the white house, according to the times, only paid 750 in federal income tax. Second, that from the times records, they obtained about 15 years of documents, they claim. 10 of those 15 years, according to the times, the president paid no federal income tax whatsoever. And for the first time, mona, we actually learned something about that audit that donald trump has talked about for years. And its based off of a nearly 73 million return he received. The irs is saying it was too much, trumps been fighting it. And whats interesting is that if he loses the outcome of that audit, he could have to pay the federal government nearly 100 million in penalties and fines. And john, youve covered the president since he first launched his campaign. How do you think hell fight back against this, and do you think it will hurt him in the long run . I think you saw what the president did sunday night in the briefing room. Anything he wants to knock down is given the stamp of fake news. But on this one its going to be quite hard. When an average american who makes 20,000 a year, they pay 750 a year in federal income tax, thats going to be hard for donald trump to hit the campaign trail and say hes out there for the little guy. Especially where this campaign is being fought out in the rust belt. The debate tomorrow night, what are you expecting . I think this is going to be a brutal debate. I think for Many Americans its going to be a time youre going to get to make a decision.

Turning to prepping your home for the cold weather and how best to protect your family from the spread of the coronavirus. I spoke earlier with dr. Darian sutton. Dr. Sutton, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Lets start with the big headlines from this weekend. Were close to 1 Million Deaths worldwide. 33 states are seeing an increase in cases. In wisconsin, more than 27 of tests are coming back positive. That number ideally should be in the low single digits. The respected university of washington forecasters warn of a major winter surge. Not a lot of good news. Whats your take on where things stand . Its distressing. When that number comes up that high, it means three things. Number one, this virus is very present and persistent. Number two, our behaviors are likely accelerating its spread. The third is many people who are likely sick or symptomatic are the only people getting tested in that situation, so its likely there are many cases that continue to go undetected. A new study shows about 9 of the country has been exposed to the coronavirus. Thats a long way from herd immunity to the virus. Does that put even more pressure on the race for a vaccine . Given the wealth and resources of the United States, i consider us discussing the use of herd immunity via natural infection as a failure in terms of our response to this pandemic. Herd immunity is quite complicated. Although a vaccine could provide help, theres still many variables to be answered. Number one, the effectiveness of this vaccine, availability to provide it to everyone and participation are questions for answered, and the continuing question of waning antibody levels on those who have already been naturally infected. We still have a lot of things to be answered in terms of herd immunity and vaccine use, but there are tools we know to be effective. That includes wearing a mask, socially distancing, providing accessible testing to everyone. Those are key traits that we can use and are honestly better than any known treatment or vaccine that we currently have. The coldest air of the season is hitting much of the midwest and parts of south. As more people head indoors, what can be done to keep the virus at bay . Protection does not have to be complicated or expensive. I advise the same thing to all of my patients. Making sure to take caution around those who you dont live with by wearing a mask. Washing your hands and socially distancing. Avoiding indoor environments that have closed circulation like air conditioning or heating. Making sure to get tested if you are symptomatic. These are key things that we need to continue doing to prevent this virus. And i know that is extremely exhausting, but we have to make sure that we remain vigilant as this virus is very much present. Our thanks to dr. Sutton, who kept hammering that message weve been hearing since march, wash your hands, remain six feet apart if you can, wear a mask. He says thats still the best way to protect ourselves in this climate. I saw a story over the weekend about what types of weather are good for, you know if its sunny, then yeah, go outside, keep a social distance. If its overcast, cloudy, those are times where you could be more susceptible to getting a virus. So Pay Attention to those things. So much to think about. The date is almost october 1st, yall. Coming up, the history that was made sunday at the washington browns game. It happened both on the field and the sidelines. The heat eliminate the Boston Celtics in six games.
