not have his most recent tax returns but thanks to an exclusive report last month from our own rachel maddow, we do know that in 2005, the vast bulk of what trump paid in taxes, $31 million, was paid under the alternative minimum tax which trump, guess what, now wants to abolish. trump also wants to eliminate the estate tax, which right now only affects couples worth more than $11 million, a move that would allow him to pass vast sums largely tax free on to his kids. and he wants to reduce the individual income tax. in short, if this proposal were to pass, it would make this a very, very profitable presidency for donald trump. and barring a miracle, it would also mean a massive expansion of the deficit from a republican party that under president obama just like a few months ago used to really decry that very thing. much more on that right after this break. for an everyday item to become dangerous. new tide pods child guard pack. helps keep your laundry pacs safe and your child safer. align, press and unzip. with tempur-pedic.t our proprietary material automatically adjusts to your weight, s

last night, rachel maddow aired an exclusive report on how to stretch out an hour. [ light laughter ] produced that segment, ryan seacrest? [ laughter ] we'll find out the punchline to this joke -- after the break. [ laughter ] rachel maddow aired an exclusive report last night uncovering a portion of president trump's 2005 tax return. specifically the part where he claimed ivanka and donald jr. as dependents, and tried to write off eric as a loss. [ laughter and applause ] maddow also reported last night that president trump claimed over $100 million in business losses in 2005. how do you lose $100 million in 2005? did you buy stock in heidi montag?

i was: the reason is watching the rachel maddow show last night. they were talking about obama not going into syria. obama wanted to declare war on syria, but congress said no. guest: that is absolutely right. it wasn't obama's fault, it was congresses fault. weigh in on that. that was my first year, 2013. republicansrship of and democrats were going to go through and do a no-fly zone in syria. we stopped that and congress stop that. it was a bipartisan effort. a no-flyoked at what zone is, they take out their capacity for any country. we did that in libya and it led to a failed state. a no-fly zone can be a military operation or a strategy. what they did in libya was in operation. they knocked out gaddafi's air defense. pulledody filled out, -- out, and it is a failed steday. it became a hotbed for recruitment. remember them asking, how long of an operation is this, they said, i don't know. how much will it cost, i don't know, maybe a billion dollars per month. it was not a good idea to go through with this unless you have to follow through. we ca
