Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss the upcoming debate between Joe Biden and President Trump as well as fallout over the New York Times reporting on the president's tax returns – on which he criticizes the president for paying less than the average American. He also addresses Amy Coney Barrett's pending Supreme Court nomination, saying that "she should recuse herself" from any 4-4 decision that affects the election results, if she is serving on the court, as he says it presents a "total conflict of interest." Aired on 9/28/2020.

Sen. Van Hollen: Barrett 'Should Recuse Herself' From Any Split Decision On Election Results | MSNBC
BIDEN/HARRIS 2020! (Is there even a question anymore?)
@Kille : And get the democrat / liberal alternative that comes with her ? NO THANKS !!
So is this DEMOCRATIC Senator saying Barret is unqualified to decide on a split decision on election results? They haven’t even questioned her yet and she seems like she will follow the constitution & law and NOT party and religion on any matter, PERIOD! If she is confirmed, she will not recuse herself, nor should she! Vote for TRUMP 2020!! Sounds like Trump, (and all the rich BIDEN, Pelosi, etc.) know how to get around the Tax laws. Maybe Congress should address this. Would the Dems like that too? If BIDEN attacks Trump about Taxes, I am sure Trump will ask JOE about Hunter?
NO CONSENT “Supreme Court” CAMPAIGN – Every Senator has the power to refuse “unanimous consent” to a myriad of procedural decisions, thereby stalling a bare majority of the Senate from destroying American lives, justice and democracy for years to come. Call your own Senators and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urging that they use this tactic and give senators time to reflect more seriously on how to prevent the disaster of a Supreme Court being in position to declare “unconstitutional” every progressive move made by a new President and a more progressive Congress. Call your U.S. Senators to join this “No Consent Campaign” to stop the President from packing the Supreme Court with another reactionary justice – 1-202-224-3121
Yes! Can we make it sooner?
@Pam Deshane No, He is saying she should recuse herself because of conflicts of interests.
He will try to deflect from his taxes by slinging all kinds of mud that won’t stick. That’s not what we need in the White House.
Biden should find that lily pad and just sit there letting trump swallow his own lies.. I do hope there will be real time fact checking.
HAIL TRUMP!!! 🤚🤚🤚🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
@Rocky Comet hail trump with rotten veggies
Lurking Grue when Trump wins again in November, will you be peaceful?
TRUMP should not have the right to debate anyone tomorrow, he should resign or removed from office.. The republicans are standing by & doing nothing, vote them all out….
@Benjamin O’Connor WRONG…..CRIMINAL TRUMP SHOLD NOT BE PRESIDENT…
ILLEGALS PAY MORE TAXES .
😷👎
So true 💯💯💯💯
*Obama’s Historically Bad Economy*
Aug 2016 https://www.hudson.org/research/12719-obama-s-historically-bad-economy
*Here is the complete list of average annual GDP growth ranked by postwar president (in descending order):*
Johnson (1964-68), 5.3%
Kennedy (1961-63), 4.3%
Clinton (1993-2000), 3.9%
Reagan (1981-88), 3.5%
Carter (1977-80), 3.3%
Eisenhower (1953-60), 3.0%
(Post-WWII average: 2.9%)
Nixon (1969-74), 2.8%
Ford (1975-76), 2.6%
George H. W. Bush (1989-92), 2.3%
George W. Bush (2001-08), 2.1%
Truman (1946-52), 1.7%
Obama (2009-15), 1.5%
Obama’s last-place tally of 1.5 percent doesn’t even include the BEA’s numbers for 2016, since the year isn’t yet complete. Thus far, growth in 2016 has been 0.8 percent in the first quarter and an estimated 1.2 percent in the second quarter. So Obama will be lucky to finish his presidency at even half the postwar average of 2.9 percent growth.
Here is the complete list of the best year of real GDP growth under each postwar president (in descending order):
Truman (1950), 8.7%
Reagan (1984), 7.3%
Eisenhower (1955), 7.1%
Johnson (1966), 6.6%
Kennedy (1962), 6.1%
Nixon (1973), 5.6%
Carter (1978), 5.6%
(Average best year for post-WWII presidents: 5.6%)
Ford (1976), 5.4%
Clinton (1999), 4.7%
George W. Bush (2004), 3.8%
George H. W. Bush (1989), 3.7%
(Average for all postwar years: 2.9%)
Obama (2015), 2.6%

Benjamin O’Connor don’t do that the only brainless in America is yourself and trump.
Want to sink Donald? Buy up his debt and call it in. Those that hold it know he won’t ever pay up.
Secured real estate debt is not “callable”. Why do your responses show up in Russian language.
@Jeff Gibson sad troll…it’s secured by mortgages. Mortgages get sold and bought all the time. They get rated on the ability of the borrower to pay it off. Donald is very far from triple A, comrade. A buyer wouldn’t even have to offer the full value of the note.
@Lurking Grue Has no effect on the Mortgagor (Trump) if his debt is sold on the secondary market.
Trump is a security risk if he owes money to the wrong people
@Pam Deshane They are not saying she’s unqualified. They don’t like her positions on women issues and civil rights in general, based on her previous judgements, which is why they will oppose her. Add to the fact they don’t think it’s fair to rush her nomination, but I have heard absolutely no one say she is unqualified.
It wouldn’t shock me if putin already has paperwork on trump properties
@Pam Deshane you’re clearly partisan, quit trying to pretend like this is about fairness. We can see right through you. Only a partisan hack wouldn’t see the clear conflict of interest.
Duetsche Bank research it all you need to know…
Hey, FAKENEWS CONCAST CNN, MSNBC, TOLLET PAPER NY TIMES, WASHINGTON POST….

By the way,
We all decent normal Americans DEMAND to crazy Dilluted NANCY PELOSI AND JOE BIDEN FAMILY INCOME TAX REOPRT TOO!!!!
By the way,
We all decent normal Americans DEMAND to crazy Dilluted NANCY PELOSI AND JOE BIDEN and his son HUNTER BIDEN’S INCOME TAX REPORT
INCOME TAX REOPRT TOO!!!!
The only response that Joe needs to make is to comment on Trumps records of lies and his money then laugh in trumps face.
Joanne Battersby
If you want to talk about lies and money, let’s talk about Hunter Biden.
He will!!
@Christopher Biddle I agree! Hunter Biden AND his connection with Barisma has been investigated thoroughly!!
The results??
No evidence of ANY wrongdoing whatsoever has been found or proven!!
Christopher Biddle are you always so misinformed?
I don’t think the broadcast can go for 144 hours of the time it will take to get through all of Trump’s lies. Where would he start? he would be struggling to get through them all, so many were spoken.
We all know she will not recuse herself. Her appointment was contingent upon her voting the way he directs her to vote.
I agree. I cannot believe how pampered and sheltered our Democrat “leaders” are. Appealing to the decency of fascists is a fools errand. They have no plan other than hope which is not a plan, it’s an emotion.
@Mainely
You idiots changed the rules in 2013 and now the chickens have come home to roost. You have only your own arrogance to blame.
Democrats: Always getting what they want, never wanting what they get.

That will be asked about during her confirmation hearing. And Under Oath.
She’s a Republican for Trumps Self serving Administration Party
Sorry. Nothing can make Amy palatable to me. Chosen from the Liar and Chief is not an honor but an embaarassment. Amy should be ashamed and back down.

Self Serving Republicans don’t Back Down
@Pam Deshane
What does Hunter have to do with this
Pam, if trump ask for Hunter, Biden should ask for jr., his fiance, ivanka and husband, erik and wife.
I still remember their debates. Biden absolutely destroyed Paul Ryan, and he smiled while doing it.😆
Biden laughed a lot of the time with Ryan. I don’t remember what happened with Sarah Palin…but who cares. 😂
I don’t think a tax cheat should appoint a Supreme Court Justice. God, help us!
@Mark Haddox the more we find out, the more he looks like one. Big time.
@Kim Lee Clearly Trump believes that playing by the rules is for losers.
@Todd Daniel . He is safe. He got some jew to do his taxes.
@aquelpibe . His jew accountant did his taxes. He’s good.
@aquelpibe . No the rich never pay taxes. Trump is smart enough to get a professional jew to do his taxes. I’m sure its legit.
The question for Biden is how do you prepare to get into a debate with a clown and a fool?
@Nancy M Ross . If Biden shows up he will wear a mask the whole time then pantomime while someone else’s voice does the debate for him from backstage.
He may be a clown, but he is no fool. Too many have underestimated him and paid dearly. My answer: expose him mercilessly for the fraud he is. A tax cheat, a liar, totally impervious to the thousands of deaths he has caused, actually to anything other than his own profit. I am afraid Biden is too decent, too much of a gentleman to confront this abomination.
@Lana Kahl Yes it does trumps taxes is not your concerns but hunters taxes are because hes running for president.
@Computer User Hunter Biden is not running for president. His father is. Hunter Biden is an adult. He should not even be part of this discussion. The only reason he is is because Trumpists are desperate to deflect from Trumps many crimes, some criminal, some not. He has paid income taxes to other countries who do not have a cult to sanction his criminality. So they made him pay.
@Lana Kahl thank you. Trumpists have obfuscated the truth to distract from daddy’s fraud, fascism, and other high crimes and misdemeanors.
I agree… stay focus and stick to the subjects,… ignore trumps lies and deflection an the unproven conspiracy theories and lying rhetoric from trump!!

But call him a Liar every time he lies.
A fraudster who needs to be asked questions tomorrow, many questions. Let the Americans see the true face of this stand-up jester.
He’ll just lie and say it’s Obama’s fault.
There will be no tomorrow if you do not vote in person. They will challenge the mail ballots, play for time and get the GOP-controlled states to handpick the electors. VOTE, get others to vote. Last chance to save democracy.
I’ll be watching. I’d like to see Joe smack him if he gets to personal. I don’t even condone violence but sometimes a bully has to be taught a lesson.
@Stephen Lewis Hillary´s mistake. She allowed Trump to encroach her space, to physically bully her. Never do that! Bullies only understand strength and firmness.
A fraudster who needs to be asked questions tomorrow, many questions. Let the Americans see the true face of this stand-up jester.
Jester gonna be here a short whiles.
You haven’t seen through all that makeup before?
Just wondering what you think if Trump had set his son’s up with oversees jobs that funnel millions into the kids accounts so daddy got his kick back too like Hunter Biden received from Ukraine & China? If Trump has committed crimes then lets see the EVIDENCE and go down that legal road when we have to proof. As it now stands Joe Biden could be the most corrupt politician in DC no question about that with the evidence we have already!

@wiremantw Freedom & Liberty Forever 1) the Republican-led committee that investigated the Ukraine situation found no illegal activities. The report is out, read it. 2) Hunter Biden joined the company against his father´s wishes. He did nothing illegal but he lent the Biden name to make the company look respectable. Not illegal but poor ethics and poor judgement. Trump on the other hand has dozens of cases against him in court waiting for him to leave the WH. That is why he will NEVER leave. He will never concede. He and Barr will stretch and bend the law, he will cheat, he will do whatever it takes. Now he wants to ignore the voters and have GOP-controlled states to handpick the electors. Several cases depend on his tax returns, that is why he has gone all the way to the Supreme Court not to disclose them. He promised five years ago that he would release his taxes. We are still waiting, and we could wait until the end of time. Why do you still defend this crook?
Trump is a reverse billionaire, which means he’s a billion dollars in debt.
@Mark Haddox I’m VERY much in touch, voted for two Rep Pres in my lifetime and two Dem Pres!
I’m not tribal, I think for myself!!
Anyone who is tribal is a real sheep!
And I don’t feel guilty about jack!
But IT DOESN’T mean I have to be supportive of someone like 45!
Nor does it mean I have to being a nasty human being because I’ve done well for myself!!
@Kevin Jackson . The comments here are not about supporting Trump. They are about a hidden type showing voter fraud in Minnesota. And you being a transgender or something. Even in your last comment you show how above it all you think you are. I’m so great I look out for these poor poor blacks. Im not tribal. Your whole style is weak. Or transgender.
@Kevin Jackson . So again we care about voter fraud and you clearly dont. Showing us your moral inferiority. We have the moral high ground and we laugh at and talk down to people who are indifferent to the integrity of our institutions. Are you a man becoming a woman or a woman becoming a man?

A felon/traitor who is still allowed to debate someone who is actually presidential. By default, Biden wins.
Vote Blue!! The whole rotten gop must go
Just yesterday a relative was telling me that trump was a great businessman
because he is a billionaire.
More important is where did the money he does have originate.
Exactly
@Don Williams
Reflections don’t you mean Trump Simpleton
Senile ole’ Biden Presidential ? Are you NUTS ?? Tell that to Tara Reade and the hundreds of thousands of industrial / factory workers and former mortgage holders in the Rust belt who were screwed over by Obama , Basement Biden & their corporate cronies in Mexico , Canada and China !!
Fasten your seatbelts, it’s gonna be a wild and crazy ride. There is more to come out on trump. Take care out there.
Hunter Biden’s shenanigans will stop that.
Everyone pays taxes except President Hold-My-Beer-Watch-This.
He paid 750
@Mark Haddox WOW less than almost any american ever
@madusonkeeper . It’s his fair share according to his jew accountant. Notice how no one is saying that it is illegal. Rich dont pay taxes and never have. This wont hurt him at all. All the smack talk for all these years and this is all they have. Where is all the Russian stuff? Biden excepting 3.5M from elena baturina looks pretty bad.
The only way this becomes a court issue is if this was rigged from the very beginning. America should vote against a Tax evasion con artist anyway
he deducted 70’000 for that dead squirrel on his head.. a “normal” person would probably do time for that.
I’m sure a surcharge was included for grooming the rats hiding in there too.
lol @ dead squirrel on his head.
You insulted Squirrels
Good one! An orange squirrel🐿
Goes to show what bad business decisions he makes!
