Media Roundtable: What Trump’s Taxes Tell Us About The US Tax Code & FRONTLINE’s "The Choice 2020"

FRONTLINE: The Choice 2020: Trump vs. Biden

  On this edition of Your Call’s media roundtable, we're talking about the explosive New York Times report revealing Donald Trump paid no federal income taxes in 10 of the last 15 years and paid only $750 in 2016 and 2017. How did he get away with this?

Later in the show, we're discussing The Choice 2020: Trump vs. Biden, a new Frontline documentary that explores the biographies of both men and how they have responded in moments of crisis. 

Guests:

David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter, bestselling author and founder and editor-in-chief of the nonprofit news service DCReport

Michael Kirk, award winning documentary filmmaker and director of FRONTLINE's The Choice 2020: Trump vs. Biden
