united states of america. and in president trump's case, he is coming to this debate not as an outsider. when he flew in today, he flew in on air force one. he is the president of the united states in the midst of a global pandemic. he has failed to put a plan together to successfully mitigate this virus. he has failed to lead in this moment. joe biden is going to use his time on the debate stage to make a forceful case about why he should be the next president of the united states, he and senator harris's plan to build back better as we like to say, and really just speak to these issues that folks are really, really dealing with all over this country. >> it seems obvious that joe biden is going to bring up if chris wallace doesn't do it ahead of him, president trump only paying $750 in personal income taxes in 2016 and 2017. hence, the release of joe biden's tax returns, joe and jill biden's tax returns today, showing that they paid $300,000 in taxes in 2019, personal income taxes. i want to play for you some sound from donald trump four years ago addressing the issue of how little he may pay in taxes and get your response on the ot

in the case of the united states we built this wonderful machine for war, air force, space force now, marines, army, navy that really protects us, the physical manifestation of our world from invasion when, in fact, the way that the chinese communist party seeks to wage war is through information and politics. in other words, they are trying to change the character of our society and our political process through the connections of the internet and globalization. and, in fact, they have been very, very successful. so the second cold war is going to be nothing like the first cold war in where america's strengths aligned very, very well vis-À-vis the soviet union and the first cold war, our strengths have been turned into vulnerabilities in the second cold war. and, in fact, our strengths of openness actually become a vulnerability as the chinese communist party seeks to use innovation, technology, talent and capital from free societies in an essentially comprehensive battle for hearts and minds of the free world. and they have been very, very successful, not just billionaires in the un

air force is attacking anderson air force base in guam. this video comes amid rising tensions between china and united states.g military drills in taiwan in opposition to taipei's deepening ties to the united states. joining me washington security analyst, walid phares. author after brand new book, the choice, trump versus obama-biden and u.s. foreign policy. walid, president xi spoke at the u.n. general assembly today. he claims he has no intentions fighting a cold war or hot war with any country. yet we get very provocative videos. i was stationed at anderson air force base for over 2 1/2 years. it is near and dear to my heart. my daughter was born there as a matter of fact. >> goodness this is close to you and your life. the chinese leadership is talking to us, basically. this whole chain has begun. when this administration decided to say no to chinese military expansion before the taiwan issue china south sea is where we told them no. and that is where we started deployment. then we told them we are going to be in solidarity with taiwan. we'll not accept any pressure on taiwan. you want to negotiate, we'r

force. all of this by comparison to the united states. and when it comes to airorce there. but -- this is a big but here. we have 11 aircraft carriers, they have two. ours are better. we have more nuclear submarines, ours are better. our army and ground force is not as large as there ours is more modernized and considerably better and experienced combat veterans to boot on top of that. but china gives us huge concerns as secretary pompeo is talking about because they have a global plan here. they want to replace the united states as the world's global leader to achieve that end, one they intend to be number one economically, two, they intend to be number one militarily. they are on a path to achieve that as their goal. and the reality is they have a ways to go. we have lots of bases around the world. they only have a couple. but -- a big but again. we've been here before. we stood up against the soviet union's ideology. got like minded countries together to do that. that's what we have to do that. administration is attempting to do that with japan, australia, wit

new arms sales, but even more importantly, [indiscernible] the united states provides about two thirds of the aircraft to the saudi air force. the united kingdom provides the other third. that support, the saudi air force would be grounded. issue i would mention a little more briefly is the they announced they all cutting off communications with the state of .aqar this has damaged significantly the gulf cooperation council. leading players in the creating it under ronald reagan as a means to contain iranian influence in the persian gulf. essentially split, is off by itself, bahrain, saudi arabia, and uae are one alliance backed by the egyptians . to a lesser extent, [indiscernible] own tryingds on its to pretend it has nothing to do with the rest of the people and oman has proclaimed its neutrality, as it has for many, many years. it is very difficult to know how badly damaged those relationships are, but there's no question. who is the beneficiary of this? it is the iranians. the yemen war has benefited the .ranians there is no and insight to this. i spoke to state department officials this week who are engaged in trying t

forces rests in the person of the secretary of defense and the president of the united states. chairman of the jcs, these magnificent four-star officers that run the services. the service secretaries, airforce, army, navy, et cetera, have no operational command authority. the chairman of jcs has to get delegated, in writing, the ability to communicating with and accept reports from the joint commanders. that is a vital post. people with guns and with badges should be controlled through senate-confirmed appointees. it just shows you the chaos in the white house and in this administration. >> i want to ask you about another topic. quickly, as courtney reports, secretary wilke is already a member of the cabinet. would that alleviate concerns you have or no? >> no, not at all. you know, secretary wilke did get confirmed for va. one would assume that treasury, state, and defense, which are probably the three most sensitive of cabinet posts, should be guarded jealously, the authority of the senate to confirm people for that job. again, i think it's just utterly chaotic, the manner in which the sort of unconstitutional manner in which the president and the white house have ignored the senate

united states i think ever heard. these senior officers in the army, navy, air force, marines, have been in combat since they were lieutenants and captains. some have been wounded some have ptsd. feeding his base the notion these people are unamerican and they're in the sway of the industrial community is an astonishing statement. what would be going on right now in a jcs tank session with that comment out of the commander in chief who has ultimate command authority with the secretary of defense over he a couple of men and women in the armed forces. >> i want to return to the question, again, there does seem to be potentially, at least, a difference between the reporting that's out there from multiple sources right now in terms of what the president said privately, but not having a name on it saying, i'm the one who heard this. here's my name. here's my position. hires' what i heard, somebody coming out between now and election day and saying that, you have a sense of the world we're talking about here. what do you think of that? >> well, look. most senior military officers in the back of their mind both think -- they're rem

united states [applause] is waving from the window. when you fly the president of the united states, that you are the best flyer. they take the best air force the helicopters. when you are flying these planes, you can lead that sucker. i -- let's go around. i cannot make it, sir. they are in perfect shape. central casting, every one of them. thank you, fellows. i will tell you a story. [applause] air force one is a very old plane. it is an old 747, 31 years old. other people did not want to do it, but it was time to get a new one. we are going to get a new plane. air force one is actually two planes. they get to. it is a hell of a way to travel. one is not working perfectly, is the other one. they get two. air force one negotiated a price they had it down for $5.7 billion. it was done by the obama administration. and that is ok. no administration wanted to do it but it sounds luxury. at some point you have got to buy a plane for the country. these countries would have their beautiful war -- beautiful 747, 800's, 900s. the new plane is a much bigger plane. much morer wingspan, beautiful plane. it is modern. 31 years old. air force one is 31

united states army. two are still active duty. my father, my father-in-law career air force and career marine. his comments are provocative and vote vets put out another ad where we have a world war ii veteran, a man captured, a p.o.w. captured in the philippines when we lost that fight. he is very articulate in demonstrating that this president is unfit to serve as the commander in chief for our armed forces. >> general eaton, thank you so much for your service and thank you for coming on to talk to us. >> brianna, my pleasure. thank you very much. >>> it is a big ad campaign encouraging minorities to sign up for coronavirus vaccine trials and it follows a warning by the drugmaker moderna that the trial may have to slow down because there aren't enough minority volunteers. the markets that were once soaring appear to be souring. we'll explain what's behind the selloff. ♪ come on in, we're open. ♪ all we do is hand you the bag. simple. done. we adapt and we change. you know, you just figure it out. we've just been finding a way to keep on pushing. ♪ that selling carsarvana, 100% online wouldn'
