federal officials failed to adequately feed and care for california indian people on federal reservations. moreover, rather than protect indians, they allowed state militia meant to hunt them and kill them. congress could have reigned in state militia activities, or simply withheld federal funding for them. instead, it passed to major funding bills, allocating over $1.3 million to reimburse the state of california for its past militia expeditions. retroactively endorsing them, financially supporting them, and thus fueling additional genocidal operation. by the year 1863, the federal government had given more than $1 million towards militia campaigns. congress must emphatically approved the genocide after the fact by paying the state of california for the killing that its militiamen had carried out. by 1863, the u.s. army had taken over as the primary state-sponsored killer, and congress controlled that institution's budget. federal legislators paid for some or all of the many lethal campaigns against california indians that began in 1846 and concluded in 1873. thus, some federal officials

federal judge and nopd. in drafting our policy, we ask the experts officials from i.c.e. were brought in and reviewed best practices from around the country. for instance, the major city chief's association, which new orleans is a member represents 70 million americans. they support policies that foster trust, cooperation between police officers and immigrant communities that we all serve. my third point is that nopd's policy on immigration status will make the city safer. it frees up our officers to focus on violent crime. it also allows anyone to report a crime or be a witness a victim to report a crime. the policies are already bearing fruit on the ground, our commanders are seeing better cooperation with immigrant communities. quickly going back to 2010, we did invite the justice department in, their come pre -- we wanted to fix that. since 2010 we've launched 11 new recruit classes. we've written 34 of these types of policies. 40 more are being drafted right now. these policies cover k-9 use, taser oper

it's world considering that as things stand right now between the state and federal government, federal funding lasts for roughly one to five years depending on the program and federal funding is by no means guaranteed to cover 100% of the actual costs, much he all the paperwork and overhead burdens. so schools already experience uncertainty by relying or federal rounding. what is more, roughly every take decade or so, as administrations change, schools, teachers and taxpayers are subjects to new agendas and mandates they require expensive replacement of the previous administration's programs, with lines from the current administration. what make it is different once control is returned to the stays, lawmakers, taxpayers and parents parents and educateddors can work more closely together at the local levels to better ensure clear education priorities, customized to meeting the specific needed of students in communities across the state. without all the chaos, cost and upheaval of the previous several decades of federal leadership in education. now its the time to end the department of e

once they arrived at federal reservations coming federal in -- california indians faced institutionalized starvation. thateader recollected after his people had been forcibly removed to the mendocino reservation -- "we were very hungry, and began to die fast. other reservations were little better. he and his people relocated to another reservation where there was less to eat. in the year 1860, officials calories a day0 to reservation indians. to1862, daily rations fell 390 calories per person per day. were ino did not work frequently fed, if at all. the reservations possessed hundreds of cattle, but according to one official, the indians were allowed no meat. if a california reservation is to get to that malnutrition weakened the immune systems of others, making them more susceptible to lethal diseases. starvation and malnutrition also predictably depressed numbers. used reservation indians as unpaid laborers, with legal results. according to one colonist "about 300 died on the reservation during the winter of 1856-1857 from the effect of packing them through the mountain snow and mud." t

is there any merits to federalizing police misconduct in term of crimes? federal penalties? >> i mean, it's good that we have -- i think, given the decentralized nature of law enforcement that we have 18,000 law enforcement agencies. yeah, i don't want to say that the federal government has no oversight role especially when it comes to things that represent constitutional violations. and pattern or practices sued and the section 1983 lawsuits that are federal causes of action against state and local officials. those are necessary to protect the constitutional rights but as far as some idea of federalizing law enforcement or federalizing the entirety of law enforcement that's probably a bad idea because the federal government itself is not -- it's not very easy to hold those people accountable. it's not as easy to hold the federal government accountable as it can be at the state and local level. so i would be very concerned there about the federal government being the soul and only word on police misconduct. >> well, we should maybe address, how about the war on cops? does it

secondly, i support federal aid to education and federal aid for teachers' salaries. i think that's a good investment. i think we're going to have to do it. and i think to heap the burden further on the property tax, which is already strained in many of our communities, will provide, will make sh- insure, in my opinion, that many of our children will not be adequately educated, and many of our teachers not adequately compensated. there is no greater return to an economy or to a society than an educational system second to none. on the question of the development of natural resources, i would pay as you go in the sense that they would be balanced and the power revenues would bring back sufficient money to finance the projects, in the same way as the tennessee valley. i believe in the balanced budget. and the only conditions under which i would unbalance the budget would be if there was a grave national emergency or a serious recession. otherwise, with a steady rate of economic growth -- and mr. nixon and mr. rockefeller, in their meeting set of 5% economic growth would

the federal reserve system.i'll have to admit to you, mr. chairman, that i was initially extremely suspicious of this hearing due to some proposals that i think would disastrously inject partisan politics into monetary policy. and we've heard some of them. i think it's interesting, mr. chairman, you talked about, you know, not wanting to inject politics into the federal reserve since we've heard these cries to audit the feds and balancing the transportation budget with federal reserve monies, and just your statement today, wanting to bring the federal reserve into more of congressional compliance. but short of undermining the independence of the fed with policy audits or appropriating the budget, i have been open, mr. chairman, to you and others about improving the diversity of thought at the fed. the fed was created and established to be independent. and i think that independence has fuelled a lot of these misconceptions and misgivings about the fed. and i think that we ought to and should explore smart reforms

a federal investigation is now underway in the city of chicago where federal investigators are looking into that department for a pattern and practice of constitutional violations. we expect a report to come out in the next four to six months. seeing the federal government and more directly involved in prosecuting local law enforcement agencies. or agents i should say. yesterday the famous sheriff in arizona has been cited for criminal contempt by federal officials. be going on trial in just a few months and there's a possibility that he will actually face gerald time. -- jail time. it's a remote possibility but he's going to be prosecuted in federal court and it is a possibility. a sheriff in los angeles county is also under federal indictment. there's a lot going on. i should also note at the beginning that we are aware that when a police department is when it iswell, maintaining high standards of professionalism and gets good reviews from the community, that's not considered to be news. it doesn't get as much in the way of media attention. we do recognize that. at the same time we a

under the new law, the federal government can threaten to withhold federal funds.on't understand why all these members of congress, who many, like senator murray and i, started as state legislators, don't trust estate legislators -- don't trust estate legislators -- don't trust estate legislators once they get back to washington dc. i think the federal government should help provide funding, but then get the heck out of the way. our school should be governed locally. moderator: now back to dave ross. >> taking the neck to supreme court justice will be one of the most important jobs of the next president, unless a lame duck session the prizes us all. -- session surprises us all. do you support the delay in hearing the merrick garland nomination and you have a litmus test for the next the from court justice? if you do, what is it? >> i was very disappointed to hear the debate between the presidental nominees the other night. they talk about the print court -- supreme court justices like they are openly partisan. it is not supposed to be that way. the judges are suppo

robert capecchi, our federal policy director. thanks both of you for being on. >> thanks for having us. >> thanks. >> well, according to a 2015 study by the pew research center, 53% of americans want to see cannabis legalized. well, we'll see if that's the case in nevada this november when voters decide on question 2. it's a ballot initiative that would legalize recreational marijuana. and today on "eye on the marijuana policy project is doing to get pro question 2 voters to the polls. we'll talk pros and cons. should marijuana be legal in the state? and we'll learn what the mpp is doing on capitol hill. well, cannabis is the fourth most popular recreational drug in the world. it trails only alcohol, caffeine and tobacco. in the u.s. alone it's believed that more than 100 million americans have tried it. 25 million americans have used it within the past year alone. to see it legalized in the silver state. that's how many residents signed a petition to get legalization on the 2016 ballot. the las vegas-based coalition to regulate

their deaths have set a new climate for social movements and federal action. the conditions of the police encounters that ended in the loss of each of their lives and the lives of thousands of other innocent citizens that will never be known would not have existed and could have been entirely avoided had federal policymakers decided to respond in a different way to the civil rights movement and the enlightened protests of the 1960s. questions of intent or the degree to which federal policymakers foresaw the consequences of the choices they made with respect to urban social programs in black communities are only relevant to a certain extent. the issue was to uncover the series of decisions that made contemporary mass incarceration possible in order to discover our own actual history. the domestic policies at the center of this book shape the lives of black women and men, their families and their communities, and these policies will shape prospects for black children and their children's children even at the criminal -- as the criminal justice system is transfor

the federal reserve act reflected a balance of competing federations. a diverse range of geographic and commercial interests with a hybrid public private governance stuck tour, to contain misuse of authority. >> the structure of the federal reserve is still effective in my view. the considerations are all relevant today. they benefited policy making. reserve banks historically have shown intellectual leadership on topics that initially went against the grain of mainstream thinking, but later became broadly accepted. and reserve bank presidents have a measure of challenging views. deepening the feds understanding of diverse challenges. to be sure our country's understanding of diversity has expanded since 1913, it is within keeping of the spirit of our founding. we have sought to ensure broad representation of views. including those associated with disadvantaged communities. i believe our record in this regard, like that of many other organizations in the united states shows a substantial area of progress. in addition to bringing diverse viewpoints to be

the federal parity law. identify parity violations and enforce the law in public and private insurance. the federal government should issue additional guidance requiring the transparency requirements and molding issuers and appropriate coverage and plan design. federal and state regulators to robustly enforce requirements of the federal mental health substance youth disorder parity law prospectively during plan approval and retrospectively through complete investigations. and we'll probably hear some of that from the testimony from our panelists. and i appreciate the time of the chairman. i yield back. >> the chair thanks. i also have a question. a consent to submit the following letters from america's health insurance plans to the president's task force. a letter from the eating disorders coalition. a letter to congress from 43 organizations representing providers, professionals, patients, family members and consumers. without objection so ordered. the chair now recognizes ranking member of the subcommittee

and the federal government can help. there is a great program called project exile in rich mond, virginia, where we focused taxpayer money and federal prosecutors and went after people illegally using guns. to me, that's how you make society the safest it can be. yeah, sometimes i agree with some of these groups in washington, and sometimes i don't. i'm a pretty independent thinker. but one thing i'm for is a safe society. and i'm for enforcing laws on the books. that's what i'm going to happen, should i earn your confidence. >> vice president gore. >> well, one -- it was not one of my ads either, governor. but i -- i am familiar with the statement, and it was made by one of the top ranking officials of that organization. let me tell you my position. i think that some common-sense gun-safety measures are certainly needed with the flood of cheap handguns that have sometimes been working their way into the hands of the wrong people. but all of my proposals are focused on that problem -- gun safety. none of my proposals wou

you're a successful business man, do you pay federal income taxes?at's between me and my accountant and the irs and the reality is i pay my lawful tax and he paid his lawful tax. >> let me ask you another question sir -- >> no, no, jake, wait a second. this is really very unfair. if he didn't take advantage of those tax deductions or advantages he had he could be sued because his obligation as a business man is to make money for his enterprise and to save money for his enterprise. it would have been insane for him not to take advantage of it. >> who would sue him for his own personal income taxes. >> investors in his business, people that loan money to his business. banks that loan money to his business. if i have a $200 million loss carry forward that i can use and i don't use it and i end up costing my company $200 million more don't you think the bank that i borrowed money from is going to sue me for mismanaging my business. >> let me ask you another question -- >> that's why the simplistic analysis of an extraordinary complex code is so unfair. >

courts. >> guest: classification in federal courts works well. there's so many issues of all these terrorism cases involving classified information, and judges have figured out a way to happen and it the defense attorneys are not up in arms about it. there are cases where they wish things had gone their way, but they've work it out. that's what the judge's role is. to say, look, you can have this but you can't have this. in the longest terrorism case we had, look off they litigated what could be shown in court when you were really dealing with individuals who have been tortured which no one in at the time, with information gotten through torture which people may or may not if have nope at the time, and they -- after tremendous appeal to circuit courts, twice, they came up with a system, that involved substitutes for the witnesses and the testimony very bait tim but -- verbatim and they came up with something and they had the trial and took years but didn't take 15 years like in the philadelphia trials -- like the 9/11 trials so even in an egregio

bigad: while federal law bans the use of marijuana, the federal government has issued guidelines that say prosecuting anyone isn't likely if they're following local laws. in fact, of the 16 marijuana shops that are in good standing right now in san jose, the city tells us none have ever faced prosecution from the feds for paying their taxes. in the meantime, voters in nine more states could decide to legalize marijuana when they head to the polls next month. announcer: coming up next. vicky nguyen: why doesn't the ncaa take it a step further, and then start requiring this of schools? brian hainline: well, that's a question i ask too. announcer: we investigate the number one health concern facing elite college athletes. plus, deadlocks and delays. we examine why nothing is getting done at the federal agency responsible for ensuring fair and equal elections. bigad: student athletes say there's a crisis in college sports that's often ignored: mental health. and medical experts say eating disorders are the deadliest of all mental-health diseases. but many schools in california fail to eve

did donald trump pay any federal income taxes? his campaign's response, quote, mr. trump is a highly-skilled businessman who has a fiduciary responsibility to his business, his family and his employees to pay no more tax than legally required. that being said, mr. trump has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in property taxes, state taxes, real estate taxes, city tax, state tax, employee taxes and federal taxes, unquote. that statement does not mention paying federal taxes or dispute the authenticity of "the times" document but said it was illegally obtained. joining me now is former presidential candidate and former senator of vermont, bernie sanders. senator sanders, let me get your reaction about this news of donald trump and not paying federal income taxes. some trump supporters would argue why should he pay any more taxes than the law requires him to. what do you think? >> you know, jake, this is exactly why so many millions of americans are frustrated, they are angry, they are disgusted at what they see a corrupt political system in this country. what you ha

denying he's paid federal income tax, or has not paid federal income tax, this year. >> again, we won't know, because they won't be releasing the tax returns until the audit is over, presumably, if mr. trump sticks by what he said in the past. k katy, thank you so much for that. >> member of trump's national hispanic advisory council, what is your response to mr. trump is not denying they've not paid federal taxes. we have no way of knowing what is happening, because no one has access to them, other than what's been leaked from "the new york times" from 20 years ago. >> they didn't deny or confirm either. what they have said is mr. trump has paid hundreds of millions in taxes in total. his property tax bills alone are gargantuan because of the property taxes he owns. i think a couple things are important here, one is this is really an incredible comeback story. in the early 1990s, most big real estate developers went belly up and donald trump had enormous problems. he talks about them at length in his book "the art of the comeback", so this is an incredible comeback story that he came f

the occupation forced federal employees onto administrative leave cost the federal , government over $4 million and alarmed local residents. it also angered the paiute tribe, which has treaty rights to the land the militia occupied. the tribe says militia members mishandled tribal artifacts and bulldozed sacred sites. militia leaders ammon and ryan bundy still face federal charges related to an armed standoff in nevada in 2014. u.n. secretary-general ban ki-moon is demanding an investigation into a strike on a school in idlib, syria, that killed 26 civilians, mostly children. ban's spokesperson said the attack could amount to a war crime. collect the secretary-general calls for an immediate and impartial investigation of this and similar attacks against civilians in the area. as such terrific acts persist despite global outrage, it is largely because their authors, weathering quarters of power were insurgent readouts, do not fear justice. they must be proved wrong. amy: russia's defense ministry denied that its warplanes were responsible for the attack. it released drone footage that

but there's no federal relocation project coming to their rescue. don: i'm glad that they're able to get help, but i mean who decides who gets help and who doesn't get help? windell curole: leeville used to be four feet higher just 100 yeago. sharyl: windell curole manages the area's manmade levee system, including this lock. it shelters the town north, but puts unlucky leeville outside the hurricane protection system. windell: as we look to the south, these people are not on the flood protection. sharyl: but there's a twist this story. curole and many local experts say there are other factors besides climate change to blame for louisiana's shrinking land -- one of the biggest causes -- oil companies. size of delaware since 1930. remarkable land loss. sharyl: for decades, the louisiana fishermen have co-existed with the oil industry. but it turns out the oil company canals, dredged for shipping and pipelines, washed away protective marshland and brought the water ever closer to residents' doorsteps. chris brunet and his family are among the 60 or so

i don't want the federal government involved in places they shouldn't be involved. article one, section eight specifically delineate the power of the federal government and tells us everything should belong to the state. marijuana is one of those issues. whether it's something that should be allowed in answer to your question i would support whatever the state i state and a decides and beyond that, there has to be a decide whether we are talking about recreational use and what the states decide for themselves and the medicinal use and what is approved as some sort of medicine and that is what has to be spoken about as well. can't you have 45 seconds for a rebuttal. >> people in the state of florida, we don't differ on the federal standpoint on this particular policy, so again i would leav leave it up to the se in this particular case to make the decisions that the people decide to make. >> the second question is for mr. perkins with a rebuttal. this was submitted tasks obamacare has enrolled millions of uninsured has done nothing to reduce the cost of insurance or m

a federal audit reportedly found several audits.ppened earlier this year, including trains overrunning swiches a switches and red signals. that's just part of the list being talked about today. now a federal railroad administration official was preparing a case against the mta before this crash happened. this coincided with an increase in concerning incidents at the new jersey railroad, which has seen ten slow-speed accidents this year and 25 accidents in 2015. and from 2013 to 2015, new jersey transit agreed to pay nearly $335,000 in penalties for 33 violations of federal safety regulations. back to the current investigation, 48-year-old thomas gallagher was interviewed yesterday. but the ntsb says we won't be hearing about the content of the sit-down until all the other crew members are interviewed and gallagher's blood and urine are currently being tested at a lab. we are also waiting to hear more on that. investigators have completed an inspection of the track and found nothing that would have affected the train's performance an

this federal partners. this group will continually evaluate the emerging risks and know that state local officials have the system needed. before closing i want to reiterate that we have confidence in the overall integrity of our electoral system. our our voting infrastructure is fundamentally resilient. it is diverse, subject to local control, and has many checks and balances built inches as the risk environment evolves in the department will continue support state local partners by providing information, assistance with best practices and tools upon request. thank you for the opportunity to testify. i. i look for to any questions. >> thank you. inkick you are now recognized for your remarks. >> good afternoon. my name is mr. hicks and i am chairman of the election assistant commission. it's a four member bipartisan commission, the mission is to guide, sis, direct the effective administration of federal elections through funding innovation guidance and information. the eac was charged with three duties, on

pat: obviously, federal money and all other kinds of money are limited. and so there was a competition and we won that competition with a project based here. sharyl: about 30 miles south is leeville, a small, but once-booming seafood industry and oil town, where don griffin has co-owned a marina and ice house that's been in business since 1977. don: before the only time we'd have water was for hurricanes. and now just your regular real 1930, we've lost probably the size of delaware since 1930. sharyl: for decades, the louisiana fishermen have co-existed with the oil industry. but it turns out the oil company canals, dredged for shipping and pipelines, washed away protective marshland and brought the water ever closer to residents' doorsteps. chris brunet and his family are among the 60 or so tribal residents who live in the remaining homes on isle de jean charles raised on stilts to try to stay above water. how high have you seen the water get here? chris: on about four foot, about as high as this and this is sharyl: it's no longer just the vicious hurric

not by the federal government. we should not be looking over their shoulder requiring them to adopt certain standards and under the law, the federal government is reviewing the testing and threatening to withhold federal funds. i don't know why we don't trust state legislators once they get back to washington d.c. i think the federal government should help provide funding but then get the heck out of the way. our schools should be governed locally. >> picking the next supreme court justice will be one of the most important jobs. it looks like the senate has to confirm their pick. >> you support the delay in hearing the nomination for the supreme court vacancy and you have a litmus test for the next supreme court justice. if you do, what is it? >> i was very disappointed to hear the debate between the candidates regarding supreme court justices. they talk about it as if they are openly partisan. we have liberal and conservative. it's not supposed to be that way. our judges are supposed to be nonpartisan and they're

the federal government's war on drugs and federal governments war on terror. some examples of this distortion, police in keane, new hampshire, applied and received federal funding, almost a half million dollars for mine-resistant vehicle, that a keane pumpkin festival was target for terrorists. i'm sure it is a fantastic pumpkin festival. i've not been there myself. stands to reason the keane pumpkin festival was not al qaeda target. a keane city councilman admitted as much we're not really concerned about the threat of terrorism, that is what you have to put on the application if you want the money. another refreshing bit of candor from the same official said, and by the way, what red-blooded american cop doesn't want to drive around in one of those? that is surely true. surely true, police and anyone would like to play around with these toys. that is not the purpose of law enforcement. that is not the reason justifies the existence of these federal programs or this federal intervention in state and local police. another councilman called it a tremendous wast

there should have been criminal action at the federal level.e did everything we could at the state level. not only the national mortgage overement, but there were nine litigations i pursued as attorney general. again, big banks and financial is titian's and i were able to bring over $9 million of relief to homeowners in the state because we know people were struggling and we were ground zero for the foreclosure crisis. we took some of that money and created a program which still exists in the attorney general's office to help homeowners for free. they can sit down with a hud-certified housing counselor and get legal aid for free to save their homes. that's what we did in nevada and we took every action both civil and criminal to hold people accountable without a state laws, but the federal law at the federal level, believe me, i colleagues and i across the country had discussions with the gog. steve: 30 seconds to respond, you say you did everything you could civilly and criminally, but nobody went to jail over this. are you concerned people in

we were simply trying to make the federal form have the same questions as the state warm but i would tell you the state of georgia under my administration leadership we implemented on line voter registration for anybody that has a driver's license or state issued i.d. card to register to vote 24 hours a day, seven days a week and we have had over 367,000 people that use that system. right now we have a student in the masters program that we started last year with a palette of 14 high schools around the state and 150 kids. now ballooned to over 800 students in any kind of possibility can imagine across the state have. we have schools we are teaching students in the schools to register their peers to vote so i can assure you anybody who meets the requirements and wants to register to vote in georgia they can do so. >> i'm glad to hear that. the court of appeals for the d.c. circuit temporarily halted and reversed the unilateral action by the eac executive director however prior to that do you know how many voters in georgia have tried to register using the federal form and were turned

pat: obviously, federal limited. and so there was a competition and we won that competition with a project based here. sharyl: about 30 miles south is leeville, a small, but once-booming seafood industry and oil town, where don griffin has co-owned a marina and ice house that's been in business since 1977. don: before the only time we'd have water was for hurricanes. and now just your regular real water constantly on the back dock, on the parking lot, you know? sharyl: leeville, too, has dwindled down to a skinny town just a mile long with a handful of year round residents. but there's no federal relocation project coming to their rescue. don: i'm glad that they're able to get help, but i mean who decides who gets help and who doesn't get help? windell curole: leeville used to be four feet higher just 100 years ago. sharyl: windell curole manages the area's manmade levee system, including this lock. puts unlucky leeville outside the hurricane protection system. windell: as we look to the south, these people are not o

dads will soon have easier time doing diaper changes in federal buildings. president obama signed into law the "bathrooms accessible in every situation act." it requires that both men's and women's restrooms in federal buildings have baby changing tables. the new law had both bi-partisan support and some star power hi kutcher, who lobbied for that kind of legislation. the law will affect social security offices, post office buildings and federal courthouses, among other places. a bakery in portland, oregon is being accused of racism... for selling an oreo cupcake named "mr. president." the owner of "fat cupcake bakery" has been blasted on social media for the black and white oreo cupcake... because president obama is bi-racial. but anjelica hayes says it's not she's bi-racial too. hayes said she named it "mr. president" because she thought the cupcake was so good, it deserved to hold public office... and because president obama likes oreos. but... to avoid the controversy... hayes has changed the cupcake's name to "the professional." "being rich is boring wh

so we do need to continue the federal role. we need the federal student loan program. senator johnson has said it never should have been created. there's a very simple piece of legislation that would help. senator elizabeth warren has a bill that would say, you should be able student loan like you can a mortgage. i'd vote for that. he voted against t senator johnson voted against it. where is the concern about the terrible position that these young people are being placed in? i think it's a denial of the american dream. another thing we can do is right now, under the law that nobody has been bothering to change in the last few years, you can have a profit for the federal government from the student loans. they can use the money for whatever else. you know, for these tax loopholes that senator johnson likes to vote for for the oil and depletion allowance. i think that should be prohibited remember i think if the federal government is going to have that program, all of that money should be poured back into making student loans more affordable. so these are specific thing

>> first of all, chris, what it shows is what an absolute mess the federal tax code is. that is why donald trump is the person best positioned to fix it. there is no one who has shown more genius in their way to maneuver as he rightfully used the laws to do that. he promised in his tax plan to change many of the special interest loopholes and get rid of them so you don't have this situation. i think the worst part is this is a tax code that people in america suffer under every day. second thing is on the "new york times" report fact is that even their own tax experts after a big flashy headline said there is nothing in there that was outside the law or outside the ordinary. the late nights was difficult time for lots of folks. we went into a recession as i know you will recall and donald trump wrote the book "the art of the comeback". he fought and clawed back to build another fortune to create tens of thousands of more jobs and this is actually a very, very good story for donald trump. >> you're saying it is a good story for donald trump that he failed to pay any federa
