Welcome back. time for "the lid." panel is back. eugene scott, daniela gibbs, matthew, i hate doing this since it's not your organization that broke this, it's a "new york times" story, a big piece that chronicles the trump family's ability to sort of avoid paying taxes over decades. to some who follow donald trump's career, they'll be shocked there's gambling going on in this establishment, meaning donald trump ducking taxes is something he bragged about at times during the campaign. but we now have the "new york daily news" saying the new york state investigators plan to investigate this. do...

On now. there are quite a few people that are arguing that everything is connected. his honesty, his past behavior in college involving alcohol and, of course, sexual misconduct. >> matthew? what do you think we're debating? >> i think what really matters is what flake, collins and murkowski think we're debate, and then in a second group, manchin and heitkamp. those are the five senators that i'm focused, like a laser, on, and the truth is, we don't know, chuck, what's going through their head. like we said, we ran the clip of flake today, well, we can't have that type of partisanship on the c...
