Like him or not, Donald Trump is one of the most skilled real estate investors in history. Can we blame him for wanting to keep his tax bill low? One of the benefits of investing in real estate is that depreciation and other expenses are deductible every year, for a number of years. Thousands, if not millions, of Democrats, Republicans, pastors, teachers, and rabbi’s own rental real estate. A key benefit is deducting the depreciation on the building. When you deduct your depreciation, and all your other expenses, you can lower your income tax bill. It's simple math. And if you own a LOT of real estate, you can deduct a LOT of depreciation. It’s not a loop-hole, it’s the LAW! Today, we'll do a fact check on Donald Trump's tax return and his real estate, and then Medicare expert SHELLEY GRANDIDGE joins us.

Well, it is Debate Night in America again, provided both candidates pass the COVID test today. The Biden campaign has successfully made the election about one issue: COVID 19. In point of fact, the election is really about the funding of the Green New Deal, higher taxes, open borders, and free health care for illegals. Joe Biden also wants to sell himself as “Middle Class Joe”. But is Joe Biden, who lives in a 7,000 square foot mansion with a ten million dollar net worth according to his public disclosures, really a middle class hero. We have the Forbes report on his rise from a negative net worth in 2009, to ten million dollars today in the Market Intel segment. Then we'll hear from the head of the Pennsylvania Boilermakers Union, who was shocked to hear that Biden claimed they endorsed him. They didn't.

We often hear debate moderators ask why The United States has only four percent of the world’s population but twenty percent of the identified cases. The question is meant to sound like a super intelligent one, putting someone like President Trump or Mike Pence on the spot. The answer is so obvious it hurts.

Today, we'll review hard data from a scientific research team on who really is denying the Covid 19 science--Blue state governors or Red state governors? You may be surprised.

On January 31st, before even one person died, President Trump shut down travel from China. On February 4th, at the State of the Union address, he committed to taking on COVID 19 with the full might of the U.S. government.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is on tape explaining why he didn't like mask wearing, while CNN said that the flu was far more dangerous than COVID. It was not until March 11, forty days after Trump shut down travel, that the World Health Organization officially declared Corona Virus a pandemic! Was President Trump's response slow?
