STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): Griff just ran the list of [presidential debate] topics that came out last week. You got to figure -- they also said there was a caveat. That depends on breaking news. I think this New York Times thing where they say that President Trump paid $750 in 2016 and 2017 for income taxes, and zero for 10 of 15 years. That's going to come up. What do you make of this story?
MIKE HUCKABEE (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): Well first of all, it's The New York Times. I'll tell you what I make of it, is when The New York Times says something about Donald Trump, I kind of blow it off as totally lacking in credibility. Because how many hours, I wonder, have they spent? And what are their documents for this? They don't tell us.
But let me give you this. So what? In a big business operation like he runs, there is a good likelihood that with all of the various business losses that he had from running for president when he wasn't overseeing his business, maybe that's so. I don't know. Frankly, I don't care. I didn't elect him to be my tax accountant. I elected him to be president, and I'm really happy with the job that he's doing. And when The New York Times blows this horn, you know, I've just got a complete hearing loss for it.
