something else to look out for in the
last couple minutes the former vp
and his wife dropped their tax returns
so we should have some information about
2019 how much money joe biden made and
how much
he paid in federal income tax over the
last couple days they've been trying to
highlight the difference between
blue-collar front-line workers and what
they pay an income tax and president
trump
now the former vp is putting his own
numbers out there and we should have
those for you
shortly harris all right so
2019 tax returns for joe biden and his
wife just moments ago peter you bringing
that i can add to it as i
take notes here biden will not be
wearing an
earpiece tonight peter he's just said
that the campaign has rather
and they're saying they never asked for
two breaks
in the program like after the first 30
minutes after the second 30 minutes
the president saying earlier he doesn't
need a break his campaign said he talks
for 90 minutes and speeches all the time
boy this has gotten interesting peter
ducey thank you very much
let's get more on this from alyssa farah
excuse me white house communications
director and assistant to the president
alyssa thank you for being with me great
to see
you yeah great to be with you so a lot a
lot's happening in just the last few
minutes
uh tax returns are being released on the
biden side
uh talk to me about the breaking news of
that from
the president trump's perspective and
also this back and forth
looking for earpieces for listening
devices president trump had wanted to
ask for
absolutely well it's it's interesting
that biden decided to release his tax
returns like
let's let's remember he's been in
government for 47 years
um president trump has been a jobs
creator he has businesses
all business entities all over the world
he's made
a living actually bringing jobs to
others well biden's been a career
politician so
i'm not surprised that he's comfortable
putting those out to see
but i would say what i'm interested to
see is how much he's profited since
being out of office
and we'll see that in those returns the
president's taxes as you know are under
audit
but he'll be willing to put those
forward for the american public to see
after the fact and on this uh question
of earpieces listen
this president wants transparency every
day he takes
tough questions from the white house
press corps he speaks directly to the
american people
he's ready to go and he just wants that
same transparency
from his opponent someone who really
frankly has avoided the american voter
and the american public throughout this
campaign
you know alyssa i just got another note
here um
kamala harris and who is the obviously
the other half of the ticket with joe
biden
and her husband filed jointly and they
have just released
their taxes as well you mentioned the
president being under audit how much
pressure is there for him to put
something out on now particularly
following the recent reporting by the
new york times which we still don't know
what their sourcing is and haven't
actually seen it
but nevertheless there is some talk
about
especially with these drops in the last
hour of the biden and harris
uh taxes about whether or not president
trump would want to do something at this
point
well frankly this has kind of been asked
and answered it's interesting to note
that in october of 2016
ahead of the first debate the new york
times the same reporters released a
piece on the president's tax returns
then once again they launched this hit
piece days before the first democratic
debate in 2020
about the president's tax returns i
think the american public
know about the president's life he's
been in the public eye for decades
this has really been asked and answered
if the american voter wanted more
information we're happy to give it but
this has been out in the public space
for four years now
and frankly it just shows this level of
almost coordination between
the new york times and the biden
campaign that i think frankly is
ridiculous
we're going to be transparent in terms
of the president answering questions
every single day he's never shied away
from them feel free to answer any member
of the press corps can ask him
about his taxes and he's happy to give
answers
again if anybody is just tuning in and
they're seeing the banner the fox news
alert at this point is that presidential
candidate democrat
joe biden uh his wife the vice
presidential candidate democrat kamala
harris her husband releasing their 2019
tax returns ahead of the debate
and we have the pleasure of having eliza
farah the white house director of
communications and assistant to the
president on with me right now
as this news is breaking earlier speaker
nancy pelosi talked about the
president's taxes revealing a national
security issue let's watch that melissa
i'm anxious to get your reaction
this president appears to have over 400
million dollars in debt 420 whatever it
is
million dollars in debt to whom
different countries what is the leverage
they have so for me
this is a national security question
alyssa your reaction once again the
speaker is jumping to ridiculous
conclusions and i would just note
speaker pelosi also
raised once again the potential of
impeachment over filling a supreme court
see it's just at this point ridiculous
the president has assets all over the
world and that's something that the
public is aware of
there's nothing here to see in terms of
any sort of a national security concern
he has put out statements that he's able
to on his finances and is ready to
answer questions
