"new york times" reporting overnight trump may not have paid federal taxes for 18 years. trump, of course, has not released his taxes to the public. we'll get into that story and its implications with chuck todd
8:01 am
"saturday night live" opened its season last night taking on the debates and trump's returns. >> it means he's either not that rich. >> wrong. >> not that charitable. >> wrong. >> or never paid taxes in his life. >> warmer. that's alec baldwin as donald trump and kate mckinnon. later this morning we catch of in the famed studio she slipped into the character. >> i only do impressions of people, because i think they're captivating, marvelous, and i want to figure out what is their inner experience. >> more with kate in just a bit, but let 'start with the explosion of "new york times" article. the paper says it okay tained a portion of his tax return in 1995, in which he declared a one-year loss of nearly $1 billion. katy tur has the details.
8:02 am
one of the worst weeks so far on the campaign trail got worse. an anonymous tipster send the "new york times" showing that he could have avoided taxes for nearly 20 years. the campaign is crying foul, but not denying it, and it donald trump is trying to change the subject by talking about hillary clinton's marriage. an october surprise, "new york times" declaring $916 million loss on his 1995 tax return. according to the paper's tax experts, it was a loss so big, trump could have skipped paying any federal income tax for up to 18 years. that would have been legal. the question of what trump did or did not pay remains unanswered this morning. he says he won't release his tax returns, because he's being
8:03 am
>> the returns will be released soon. >> reporter: stating that he's paid hundreds of millions in taxes over the years and that, quote, he has a fiduciary responsibility to his business, his family and his employees to pay no more tax than legally required. a point trump pedestrian when hillary clinton raised the same charge in last monday's presidential debate. >> they showed he didn't pay any federal income >> reporter: the clinton campaign quick to pounce saying he apparently got to avoid paying taxes for nearly two decades while tens of millions of working families paid their. he called it smart. now the gig is up. why didn't she release his returns to show us all how smart he really is. trump didn't address the tax
8:04 am
mocking clinton stumbling to get into her car at the 9/11 memorial. and accusing her without evidence of cheating her on her husband. >> hillary clinton's only loyalty is to her financial contributors and to herself. i don't think she's even loyal to bill, you want to know the truth. and really, folks, really why should why should she be? >> donald trump is already tweeting this morning saying i know our complex tax laws better than anyone who hayes ever run for president and am the only one who can fix them. if trump ultimately refuses to release his returns, it will be the first time a major party candidate has not done so since 1980. romney showed about a 14% tax rate. clinton did it this year showing
8:05 am
>> you talked to the trump campaign every day and have for more than a year as you've covered it. have they denied the specific contents of this "new york times" piece on the taxes. >> they're not only answering the calls, at least my calls, and they're not denying whatsoever that he did not pay federal tax. it's the same thing we asked in the spin room, do you pay federal income tax? he does not deny he did not, but he does not of "meet the press." good morning, chuck. let's talk about the rationale for donald trump's campaign, on the one hand he's a great businessman, and other he's figding a rigged system. this story would cut through almost, if you lost nearly a billion, you're not maybe not such a agrees businessman, and you took advantage of a rigged
8:06 am
working-class americans who feel as if they've been left behind by this economic recovery. when they have a setback like donald trump had in 1995, do they get tax-free income for the next billion in income? is it tax free for thome? you lose a billion, and essentially the next billion of income for donald trump he got tax free, because of that loss. he was able to offseat it. the very people he's representing they don't have that kind of break in their tax code. that's where this could hit, but i have to tell you, willie, what's more likely on this story is his supporters they're not going to get dislodged. his supporters, they already know he's a flawed vehicle, but that's the vessel they have latched themselves on to to send the message to washington. >> to the extent there are persuadable voters left, and as well as the country knows both these candidates, what do you think this last week, if you put it all together, beginning with
8:07 am
having him watch into it with this former miss university, ending on sunday with this piece on the "new york times," what's the impact on the dynamic race? >> he's stuck between this 40 and 45% number. his whole goal was to make himself an appealing candidate, or at least a slightly more attractive candidates than hillary clinton to this small chunk of republican voters or right-leaning independents who he needs to get into that 46, 4637 territory. nothing has happened this week that has improved his chances of winning over that chunk of voters. i think he has a hard ceiling of 42%. willie, that ceiling is not made of glass. that ceiling is not made of some sort of drywall. it is becoming concrete that i don't know if he with bust through anymore. he may be stuck at 42.
8:08 am
try to changele subject, i think we saw that last night. you could see him almost dr. off the teleprompt he speech and mention that he thinks hillary clinton has not been loyal to her hurls. >> he called "new york times" before this rally, bringing up the same marriage question, even though the campaign said they weren't going to go there, were going to leave it to the surrogates. he was say, wait a minute, don't look at my tax returns over there. were asked for comment. this is what he's done the entire campaign. to say that hillary clinton might have been cheating on bill, is literally an accusation that nobody credible has brought up so far. this is something far-flung even for donald trump. you wonder what he's going to say next to try, you know, to change the subject further. these taxes, there have been questions surrounding this since the beginning. how rich is he?
8:09 am
tax? i guess you could call it the worst of three scenarios don't pay any federal income tax, and it looks more likely, because he's refusing to deny it. i think chuck it right right, it doesn't mean he'll lose his supporters, but what about the people who are not sure? >> we'll see if the campaign reacts more specifically to the charges and tax returns from 1995 and the paper. katy thanks chuck, thank you. we'll see chuck and his colleagues dig through the story. and tim kaine and mike pence will be in their first and only debate tuesday night on nbc. hurricane matthew has top sustained winds of 150 miles per hour. it's ripping its way through the caribbean as it heads north toward the atlantic coast of the united states. haiti, jamaica and cuba are all

8:12 am
this is the big question mark into next friday and next weekend, but there is some discrepancy between the american model that keeps it right along the east coast, right through cape hatteras, and up through the eastern seaboard where the european model is slower and takes it far out to sea. either way we'll see rough surf and dangerous wart conditions. it's so early. today we're talking about next weekend. way t either way it will be a mess through the caribbean. either way, this is a beast. we do have a sad update out of townville, where 6-year-old jacob hall, who was shot and wounded outside his school on wednesday, has died from his injuri injuries. the 14-year-old already facing murder charge, accused of killing his father before

8:17 am
8:18 am
dylan is with me to go through the highs and lows. the first high is to celebrate the life of marlins pitcher jose fernandez. he was remembered as one of the brightest young stars, but as a magnetic personality fernandez and his mother defected from cuba at 15 years old. to add to the tragedy, his girlfriend is pregnant with their child. in a truly chilled-inducing moment, dee gordon was the marlins first hitter of the game. he hadn't hit a single home run all season. >> gordon to right, it's deep,
8:19 am
dee gordon has hit it out and the marlins have a 1-0 lead. >> you can see as he crossed home plate looking up to the sky, tears on his face. marlins did such a beautiful job that night. again our thought with jose fernandez's families. our first low, for libertarian president gary johnson. last week we had him sticking out his tongue during an hunt. before that he had never heard of aleppo. this week in a town hall with nbc's chris matthews, johnson got an easy one. >> one foreign leader you railroads, look up to. >> mine was shimon peres. >> i'm talking about living. go ahead. you've got to do this. anywhere. any continent, canada, mexico, europe, asia, south america, name a foreign leader that you respect.

moment in the former president of mexico. >> anybody in the world you like. anybody. pick any leader. >> he eventually settled on the former mexican president with the help of bill weld, they found a name. >> then asked which one? >> it took a while to get there. our next high, when you just want to go home, but that one friend has to stop and say good-bye to everyone at the door. >> guilty. >> in this case president obama is you, bill clinton is that friend. they both attended the funeral of shimon peres. bill clinton caught a right on air force one, as president obama was -- he grew impatient with the former president's last of hustle.
8:21 am
>> that's president obama saying, bill, let's go. he did it about three times. obama steps back out on the stairs to corral clinton. nobody has been able get bill clinton. >> my husband is the irish good-nighter, where did you go? >> disappeared, poof, vamoos. i love mary j. blige, on the headliner for every mix tape for my she has a new show called "the 411." we got a taste this week during which mary breaks into song why hillary clinton listens intently and wondering what's going on. ? it ain't no secret ? ? it ain't no secret ? ? no secret my friend ? ? you can get killed just for living ?
8:22 am
beautiful voice, it's a good message, but just a weird setup. our next high goes to the putt of the week at the ryder cup in minnesota. it did not come from a professional. david johnson is a fan heckling some of the european team players as they missed a putt on the 8th at hazeltine. one suggested he come down and try it, so he did. surrounded with a big with many staring him down. he lined up the putt. rose put a $100 bill on the green. johnson hits it perfectly, drains the 12-footer, and celebrates like he just won the masters and collects his $100 from justin rose. >> i didn't realize what just happened, but overall that was a pretty cool experience. i would do that again. >> how about the heat?
8:23 am
was like hammer time, back of the cup. our final low goes to the debate, the one in the nation of georgia. a couple deeds had a televised debate that bait trump/clinton look like a tupperware party. they get into a water fight on tv, chucking glasses at each other before of moderator bravely puts her body between them preventing something worse. those are whoa, now that is a debate. >> i wonder if lester would have jumped in like that. >> spice up that vice presidential one on tuesday with some water chucking. dylan, see you in a minute. thank. kate mckinnon, we spent some time backstage with her before the new season. a baseball poet says good-bye. our look bake at the life and our look bake at the life and career ofif you want to sell your car carmax will give you seven days to consider their offer. why seven days? science.
