Hello everyone welcome to the next level. I'm J. L.

here with my best friends Tim Miller and Sarah Longwell of the Bulwark.

Go and subscribe to the show, hit the like button, give us five stars, and then when you're

done, go to the Bulwark.com slash events and sign up to come see us in Seattle or sunny

Los Angeles we're gonna be doing a live show in Los Angeles California in January

with special guest Johnny Favs of the Obama campaign.

We'll talk more about that later on down the line. But guys, this is supposed to be the Christmas

Getaway week. This is supposed to be the Christmas getaway week. This is supposed to be nothing happening and we are having one of the biggest news 24 hour cycles of the year.

We have the passing of the omnibus bill with all sorts of good stuff in it, like aid to Ukraine and

I believe we've passed the Electoral Count Act finally.

We have Donald Trump's tax returns becoming public.

Any day we have the January 6th Committee's final report.

We have Volodem Mierzlinski

arriving in the United States to meet with Joe Biden

and address a joint session of Congress. all of this while the world is basically just trying to finish their Christmas shopping.

What do we want to go first on the wheel?

Do we want to go to tax returns?

Let's go tax returns first.

Sarah, tell me about Donald Trump's tax returns.

So I don't think it's a huge deal,

because I do think the New York Times got a big chunk of his taxes.

You know, somebody like black enveloped it to them a while back.
