Carl bernstein joins us. Good evening one and all. 300 days. You were like, no, we cant take 300 days. 36 days. And were following multiple breaking news stories that could impact how americans cast their votes. The New York Times has new reporting tonight calling the man most of america met on the apprentice the man whos now president of the United States. The fictional alter ego of the real donald trump. That on top of the reporting that the president has not paid any federal income tax in 10 out of 15 years beginning in 2000. And that he paid only 750 in federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017. All that certain to come up in tomorrow nights debate. The first president ial debate between donald trump and joe biden. Were going to preview what else we can expect to see. I think this is damaging on multiple levels. There is the only bare rasing stuff. The 70,000 deduction for your hairstyle. 700,000 that you gave your daughter that was a consulting expense even though she was already on your payroll. Theres the damage to his brand. We see the extent to which he like other rich people if a nagled the situation in order to reduce his tax bill so that he paid a fraction of what those forgotten people that he campaigned on belaf of, the blue collar americans who were hurt by economic change, paid a fraction of what they paid. The third is the National Security risk. That is, the president is hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, debt that hes personally guaranteed. Does financial pressure explain why he is solicitous to turkey and russia . Does it explain why he is eager to reopen the country in the toll of covid because his properties need to be open to stay afloat financially . We know donald trump is pathologically transactional. Hes going to be thinking, what is in it for me as opposed to abstract concepts like whats best for the country, what is right, what is the thing right thing for the American People. I think hes already thinking that. I dont think he needs a second term to think about whats right for him. Right. But, don, is this going to strip votes away from him . I doubt that, but thats not the point. Weve got five weeks until the election. Donald trump needs to take votes from joe biden. We have a new poll out showing hes down nine points which could be the Tipping Point state. Every day that goes by without donald trump making progress is a bad day for him. Joe biden going to hammer these points into the debate tomorrow night. Anna, i know youre passionate about this. Im going to ask you your reaction to all of it. Astounding level of fraud. When you take a look at it, if theres anything hes been consistent about, its fraud. Scam. Gaming the system. Being a pawn. Listen, his Draft Department were a fraud. His s. A. T. Scores were a fraud. His loan applications to the banks are a fraud. His deductions in his tax forms are a fraud. Does anybody think he spent 70,000 on hair styling . Only if hes getting charged by the hair. I mean, its just, you know, his conservative gravitas. His christian gravitas, fraud. Everything about this guy. Trump university. Trump charitable university, a fraud. Ill tell you what drives me crazy, when i think about all of the people who scrape and work hard, all the honest people who pay their taxes, who have a really hard time making ends meet. You know who pays more taxes than donald trump . The undocumented immigrants at his golf courses that he fired when reporters found out he had undocumented immigrant. They pay more taxes than donald trump. Abraham lincoln in 1864 paid more taxes than donald trump. 151 years ago. He paid more in hush money to Stormy Daniels than he pays in taxes. It is disgusting. It is hypocritical. It is unacceptable. Look, i know its not going to change the mind of his base, i know that, but i hope that the very small sliver of undecided voters take a look at this and realize we cannot have a guy in the presidency who uses the presidency and the bully pulpit to promote and sell memberships at his club and at his golf courses and to drive the, you know, government business to his properties in order to save his brand. We cannot afford that as a country. Hes nothing but a scam. Carl, i want to bring you in here because the time shows that President Trump has more than 300 million in loans that will come due in the next four years and we know nothing of who he owes that debt to. So could he be compromised . Of course he can be compromised. Lets start at the beginning though about what these tax revelations by the New York Times are. They are a smoking gun that proves definitively that we have a grister president of the United States and he and his grister family have taken advantage of every aspect of the tax code, that they have taken advantage of the American People and that they are, as anna had said, a fraud. We know that donald trump is a con man. This has been evident for a long time and now what the New York Times revolutions show that its been a house of cards definitively and that this con man has now gotten into the area where were now seeing serious questions about how he might have compromised or be subject to compromising the National Security of the United States. There also is i think we need to take another deep breath to see and put some people on the air and find out is this tax behavior of donald trump actually criminal or is it deliberate taking advantage of the tax code so see greej gously that once again he has done an outrageous con on the American People and the irs and might get away with it because it comes under civil penalty, not necessarily criminal. And that remains to be seen. Even after hes out of office, carl, hes going to know incredibly top secret information about the United States, including sensitive National Security information. That is a scary thought. That is a scary thought. What we need to think back to is the fact that all of his closest National Security advisers from mattis, tillerson, kelly, bolton, they all concluded that donald trump is the first president in the history of the United States to be a danger to the National Security of the United States. What this shows once again, these revelations, is to the potential, particularly given his adoration and subservens to these oligarchs, putin, erdogan, other mbs, all of these authoritarian leaders. Donald trump is clear. We can see from what the times has done, he will take money from anyone for any person. He is a sheer con man. Carl, i think carl, the ghost of Leona Helmsly can tell you whether it is criminal to lie in your taxes. When you are telling the irs that you are poor and have huge losses but you are telling banks that you are seeking loans from that your assets are worth much more than they are, it does not take being a tax attorney to know that there is a real legal problem there and that explains why he has gone to such lengths, why he has gone to some of the highest courts in the land to try to keep his tax returns hidden. It explains why he will not release these tax returns. I mean, listen, if he wants to prove all of us wrong, all hes got to do is show the receipts, right . The New York Times is i agree with you. Listen, guys, i have to move onto the next segment. Im glad you mentioned what it means legally. Thank you all. I want to bring in someone who knows. I want to bring in daniel goldman, former u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york. He was the lead council for the democrats during the impeachment inquiry. Used to be a frequent guest on cnn and then he did something else. Its good to see you again. How are you . Good, don. How are you . Thank you for joining us. When i spoke with katheryn renfeld, she said it means hes a bad businessman, a cheat or both. He used his chronic losses to avoid paying taxes. Knowing what we know now, did he cheat on his taxes . I think its hard for us to tell just from reading these articles from the times, one yesterday and then one that just came out tonight. I do think it validates the theory that hes a bad businessman. He squandered money from his father, he squandered money from the apprentice and all the licensing deals. Frankly, he hasnt really been a Real Estate Developer for quite some time. He has bought golf courses and he has poured a tremendous amount of money into those golf courses that continue to lose money in their operating costs, and then he just licenses his name to Real Estate Developments all over the world. He doesnt actually run them in any meaningful way. The big question, even his tax returns are insufficient to know whether or not he is lying. You would need the backup documents. Youd need the bank records to show ins and outs. You need to compare to other Financial Statements, sworn declarations and we have some of his disclosures. I would just caution one thing though, don, before everyone jumps to conclusions. The value of an asset is unrelated to what the expenses are to operate that asset and those expenses for business assets can be deducted even if the value of that asset keeps going up. So if hes pouring money into trump doral, which he is, he is spending a lot of money, some of which may be able to be deducted, and in theory the value of the property is going up. So that in and of itself does not necessarily mean that hes cheating. What we do know is that this is a hyper aggressive way of manipulating the tax code. There are some yellow flags at a minimum in there paying ivanka trump consulting fees when she is a fulltime employee of the trump organization. You cant double dip that way. Thats one thing. It will be very interesting for the manhattan da to compare these tax records with other documents that they will get from mazars once that court case is resolved now that its back in the court of appeals, it will soon be resolved, and the das office will be able to compare the tax returns to his other Financial Statements, sworn Financial Statements and theyll be able to figure out what is legitimate and what is not. Listen, i spoke to a very good friend who is a developer. Ill tell you what he said. He said the leverage thing, how highly leveraged it was, you know, thats to be determined, right . Once they figure out how much depreciation is and so on and so forth. Right. But then he says the stuff like paying his daughter as a consultant or writing off business expenses that they use personally, that stuff is fraud due length if that, indeed, occurred. Then as Michael Cohen says how he inflates his assets. So the question is does he provide false information to get the loans . That was a question that my friend says if he provides false information to get the loans by inflating the value of an asset, is that illegal . Is that fraudulent . Absolutely. Yes. Thats a material misrepresentation to a bank to obtain a loan and that is you know, thats carbon copy bank fraud. Thats what it is. So, you know, but i think we do need to be a little bit careful. I am, youre right. Im saying if, if, if, if thats the case. What migchael cohen describe, hes inflating the value of the assets to get loans and what he did with the westchester property, thats inconsistent. Hes either lying to the banks or hes lying to the irs, both of which are crimes. So either way hes committing a crime if that is true, and so that is thats the big question. You know, some of this stuff is fungible. Its hard to figure out what exactly the value is. Having done some of these fraud prosecutions, sometimes its very hard to prove that its over valued, et cetera. Whats not hard to prove though is when the person that you are looking at assigns two very different values to the same thing because both of them cannot be true. Okay. So i want to talk about the president s debt, daniel. A lot of it will be due over the next few years. What happens if donald trump is president and he cant pay these debts . Is it the same as being a private citizen . Do we know what will happen . Have we ever been in this situation . Weve not been in this situation, and certainly its incredibly dangerous to have the leader of our country be under such financial constraints. Ill explain one way why that is. We know that there are foreign sources of income at his hotels, at his golf courses. The trump hotel in washington, d. C. , is a hot bed for foreigners to stay. Saudi arabia bought blocks and blocks of rooms around the inauguration in 2017. If donald trump is relying on these foreign sources of income at his own properties in order to fund his debt, go to the banks and say, i am generating this much income so we can refinance this, thats an incredible National Security risk where he is compromised. What that basically means is he needs these Foreign Countries for his personal benefit and, therefore, that is a direct conflict of interest as he enacts or executes our Foreign Policy around the world. That would be disgall ldisquali anyone in the country to get a security clearance. Hes the president of the United States, he doesnt need a security clearance, but it is incredibly worrisome nonetheless. I could go on for the entire hour with you. Me, too. Unfortunately were out of time. Its good to see you . Youre doing well, your family, everybody is safe . Yeah, im well. Been a while. Were good. Hopefully we can get this under control. Please come back and be well. Thanks. Thanks, don. The first president ial debate is a matter of hours away. We have new reporting on how joe biden is preparing.

So in a matter of hours joe biden and donald trump will face off in the first of three president ial debates. We have new reporting on bidens debate prep. Lets discuss with mark mckinnon, hes executive producer of show times the circus. Donald trump and joe biden finally meet face to face on the debate stage. If youre joe biden, what do you do . Well, you want to be prepared. You want to anticipate everything thats coming at you, and with donald trump thats a pretty tough equation because he doesnt play by the rules. Thats one of the things theyre prepping him for, don. Joe biden has a tendency to want to be a good student. You can see when he stops his questions early. You have to anticipate donald trump will be coming after him hard and coming after him in places he knows hes vulnerable, like his family. For example, they have to get joe biden to be very careful he doesnt come off the leash, doesnt lose his temper. Hell be well prepped for that. The stakes are big for donald trump. Hes lowered the expectations for joe biden. This is all an expectation game in the president ial games. By talking about how biden is senile, sleepy joe, all joe biden has to do is get on the stage and complete sentences for two hours and that could be a win for joe biden. Listen, im not just an anchorman, im a reporter, thats how i started. A source says this to me, mark, he says, he is prepared for asymmetric warfare. Theyve done scenarios planning on Different Things trump might do. They believe it is unlikely biden will be surprised by anything but he is also determined not to get thrown off of his own message because they believe that americans mostly care about the fact that they cant send their kids to regular school and health care is threatened. People will be either satisfied or dissatisfied but hes not going to respond to i ever crazy thing trump says. He can throw a punch but the source doesnt think they want to see him sink to Donald Trumps level. They are tired of trumps antics. Biden will pick and choose when to stay focused rather than responding to every point attack and he will decide that in the moment. What do you think . Very 1345rsmart. Hes got a very good team around him. You think thats smart, just what i said here, he should not get down in the dirt . No. No. No. That would be playing trumps game. He wants to play joe bidens game. He wants to be cool, calm, collected. He wants to show that he is the consoler in chief, that he is the competent one. Its not about chaos. People are asking for competency and theyre asking for character back in the white house. All hes got to do, don, is maintain his composure and show that hes credible and that he can carry on a debate for a couple of hours and thats going to be it. But he can be tough and a decent person. I think that will probably go a long way in the debate. Listen, as i said, hes going to stay focused on message versus responding to every crazy thing trump says. We have seen how relentless donald trump can be in attacking people. Is it important for joe biden to stay on that message. Do you think people need to see at some point him vent himself. Think about how his republican primary people handled him in 2016. Sure. They dont want him to roll over by any means, don. They dont want him to Donald Trumps strategy is to distract biden, to get him to chase a bunch of crazy attacks and that would be playing Donald Trumps game. He just has to act like a president , don. He wants to show he wants return, decency, character to the office of the white house. Hes been there before. He knows how to do this. He can keep the country safe and secure and people want a break from the chaos. If he can get through two hours if he doesnt lose his composure. He has to concentrate on being cool and composed. He just has to get through it without losing it, don. So on those taxes, martin, this is how Hillary Clinton dealt with the issue in 2016. Maybe he doesnt want the American People, all of you watching tonight, to know that hes paid nothing in federal taxes because the only years that anybodys ever seen were a couple of years when he had to turn them over to state authorities when he was trying to get a casino license and they showed he didnt pay any federal income tax. So that makes me smart. If hes paid zero, that means zero for troops, zero for vets, zero for schools or health. Wow. That makes me smart. Back then i dont know if its going to matter after this New York Times reporting, that seems just so out of touch. Is that a model for biden . Well, don, theres a historical parallel here ive thought about. I worked for ann richardson, a governors race, she ran against Clayton Williams. I thought you were going to say george bush. Clayton williams had a ton of money. He was running well ahead of richards. In the spring of that year there was a big flat about a remark he made about rape, sit back, enjoy it, its inevitable. Everybody thought that would blow the race open just like the access hollywood tapes didnt. Hes a good old boy, boys being boys. Richards kept hitting him and asking him to turn over his taxes. Richards was a great candidate and finally made him crack in october and wa we learned in october was just what were learning about donald trump, in 1986 during a rough patch in the oil fields, Clayton Williams paid zero in taxes. People said, wait a minute, thats just a fairness issue. Im a school teacher, firefighter, i pay taxes, you pay nothing . I dont buy it. I dont like it. You think it will have an effect. It could have an effect, don. The question is will donald Trump Supporters hear that . This is going to be an historic debate audience tomorrow night. Its being sponsored by fox so i think a lot of fox supporters will watch it. I think Chris Wallace is a tough reporter. Lets see. Good to see you. Thank you, don. Donald trump and joe biden face off in the first president ial debate. You can watch it play out live on cnn. Special coverage starting at 7 p. M. Eastern. You have to stay up late to watch me and chris. So she has been sick for over a month, okay . Doctors diagnosed her with coronavirus so why is she repeatedly testing negative . So julia yaffi started reporting on this next story while she had covid and well talk about this next. And ahead, guess who the president wanted to be his vp . Guess. Im not even going to say. Well be right back. Thanks that was my business gi, this ones casual. Get set up right with a live bookkeeper with intuit quickbooks. So President Trump announcing a plan today to release 150 million covid rapid tests. More from cnns alexandra field. It honestly looks like its business as usual. Reporter precovid florida in a post covid world. Packed bars and restaurants all weekend in south florida just days after republican Governor Ron Desantis dropped virtually all coronavirus restrictions. I think its going to have a huge impact. Reporter no morphines for people who refuse to wear a facemask. The Positivity Rate remains over 10 . Across the country, new cases are on the rise in 21 states. In just the last few days at least seven states saw their highest weekly averages for new cases. With wisconsin reporting its highest single day increase over the weekend. One of the Biggest Challenges we have is some people dont believe this is a serious disease even to this day. Reporter in new york, more than 1,000 new cases even the most since june. They forced the city to decide whether to bring back restrictions in impacted neighborhoods. It is very targeted and very focused in those clusters. Reporter all this as the nations top Infectious Disease expert says the white house is pivoting away from daily Coronavirus Task force meetings and as dr. Scott atlas was reportedly criticized by another top official. Nbc news reporting that cdc official robert red field was heard on the phone speaking about dr. Atlas saying everything he says is false and going on to suggest that atlas is providing the president with misleading data. The cdc says redfield and atlas have differing opinions and agree on many different issues. Dr. Fauci weighed in with this. Most are working together. I think, you know, what the outlier is. Reporter alexandra field, cnn, new york. I want to bring in julia yackey. Despite being young and healthy, she has been through a rough battle with covid19. Kept reporting on the virus even when she was ill. Julia, thank you so much. I really appreciate you joining us. How are you doing . Getting better. Still not fully better. Excuse me, as you can hear. Its a slog. Its been a while since we spoke so very confusing thing about your story, okay, that everyone should know. If you tested negative for coronavirus not once, not twice, not even three but four times, can you explain that to me and to the audience . What happened . Well, i got tested during various points of my illness and the first three tests were when i was actively sick and they were just nasal swabs so they didnt do the thing where they go all the way back and it feels like theyre tickling your brain. It just went inside my nostrils a little bit. Those tests are far less sensitive than the ones that go all the way back. Thats one thing. Second thing is we know the virus enters through the nose and mouth but then it drops down to the lungs pretty fast. You might not have any virus in your nose but you might have a ton of it in your lungs. In my reporting i talked to a lot of doctors who said they had many patients who tested negative on the nose and the nas so he pharyngeal swab but when they were intubated their lung fluid was teaming with coronavirus. If youre mildly ill like i was at first, nobodys going to test your lung fluid. You have to be hospitalized and intubated for that. The fourth test i got when i was probably no longer infectious so that explains that one, but, yeah, its been a psychological roller coaster. I can understand that. Thats why its called novel. Theres a lot to learn about it, a lot we dont know. Listen, im asking because im sure people at home are wondering. If you had that many tests and they were all negative, how were your doctors so sure . Because you said that you had covid because you said it was probably within your lungs and they didnt test that because you werent sick enough. How are they so sure . So i talked to numerous doctors about this, both in my reporting and the doctors who treated me, including my primary care physician, including the doctors who saw me in the emergency room where i had to go because i could not breathe and my oxygen levels started dropping and this is the second time that it happened, including the pulmonologist who saw me for, you know, the Reactive Airway disease i have after the virus and for my now partially collapsed lungs. Basically doctors say the tests are not perfect. You know, the cdc put out a faulty testing kit back in february and march of this year and we had nothing to test with. So the fda said, look, everybody develop your own tests. Were going to give you like a temporary authorization. Now there is 165 of these tests, some are very good, some are not. Even the very good tests are not 100 so doctors determine, a, whether the symptoms in front of them. I had all the classic symptoms including the loss of taste, loss of smell. By the end i count breathe. My oxygen levels were tanking. Doctors said i dont know what else it could be other than covid. Because you were going on with that, i wanted to get this in because i think it will help you make the point here. Whim you were still sick you started reporting on the accuracy of tests. Here are some things you found. You said the tests have wide range of accuracy. Pcr tests have become more accurate and theres a higher chance of false negative versus false positive. And it can determine the patients physiology and how good of a swab sample you get. What is the biggest impact of all of that in terms of the spread of this virus that you found and in what youre going through . Well, there were a number of papers that were put out by this on the new england journal of medicine. The mayo clinic put out a paper on this. They ran the math. Even if a test is 98 accurate which is pretty good for a test, no 100 test. If you test 100 people who definitely have covid and you miss two of them, if you are doing it on massive scale, millions and millions of tests, that can be thousands of infections that you miss and each one of those can snare many more people and create whole new chains of transmission. So we have to understand that the tests arent perfect. We want, you know, black and white clear answers as a society. We do not have them and we probably never will. So i guess my message is, you know, if you are still having symptoms of covid and youre not feeling well but your test comes back negative, you should quarantine instead of cherry picking the information. You should quarantine this and eventually spread the disease. All yeah, thank you so much. Im glad youre doing better but i hope you get back to 100 . Thank you for coming on. Thank you so much, don. The president wont commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses and now democrats are preparing for a post election battle.

Heres cnns abby phillips. Reporter as the president continues to cast doubt over the legitimacy of an election that is just over a month away. This is going to be a disaster. Reporter democratic officials tell cnn an army of lawyers are preparing for a wide range of obscure election claims that trump is floating. We have an advantage if we go back to congress. Does everyone understand that . Reporter a disputed Electoral College could put the fate of the hands of a new house of congress in november which each state delegating getting one vote. Republicans have a 2622 advantage. Speaker nancy pelosi is ready for this possibility. I have been working on this for a while. Ive been working on almost every scheme he might have to steal the election. Reporter sending a letter to her caucus urging her to focus winning a majority of state delegations in november and flipping the senate writing we must achieve that majority of delegations or keep the republicans from doing so. Trump has also floated the idea of an election decided in the Supreme Court like bush v gore in the Supreme Court. I think its very important we have nine justices. Reporter one of the florida judges at the center of that recount that sided with bush and has since retired making his fears of trump clear in a rare letter to colleagues saying trump is a threat to democracy and giving only one real solution. There will not be a problem if the democrats win the senate and biden wins the presidency. The problem will result if there is continued to be a divide between the house and the senate. Reporter trump falsely claiming that voter fraud is rampant tweeting this morning the ballots being returned to states cannot be accurately counted. Many things are already going very wrong. But the president has been building a case against absentee ballots or mailin voting for months, none of which is based on facts. Widespread voter fraud is largely nonexistent in the United States. You can forget about november 3rd because youre going to be counting these things forever and its very dangerous for our country. But there are real risks for the election. The fbi issuing its latest election warning, this time about fake cyber attacks.

Gates writes in june of 2016 as the Trump Campaign was preparing for the republican convention, top aides were throwing out names for his running mate and trump said it should be ivanka trump. Trump told his aides that ivanka was bright, smart, beautiful and that the people would love her. Apparently trump wasnt joking. Post reports that gates said trump repeatedly brought up the idea of trump a trump trump ticket. Gates said that in the book that it was ivanka trump who took herself off the vp short list telling her father that it wasnt a good idea. What do you think . Thanks for watching.
