10:29 pm
embarrassed by publishing. this guy runs, runs, mclarty and associates a big lobbying firm, what this guy is doing writing about a constitutional issue involving the president of united states is unclear, but to create a false story just a few days in front ofs midterm election. what a disgraceful portfolio by mclarty associates and politico. lou: well, littl politico, theyt really a moderate organization with their news philosophy. it is great to have you with us, thank you for clearing record on that. president in his legal team also, said or been work working on written questions to mueller. >> my understanding they have been thinking about some written answers to some questions.

10:33 pm
sip. >> this is a brilliant move by the president and his legal advisers, president setting up a case or controversy under the constitution that can be litigated. setting up a test case, he wants to he will interpret 14th amendment with an executive order to prohibit birth right citizenship for children born in united states of illegal alien, supreme court has never ruled on, that they will deny a child citizenship, who is born here of an illegal alien that will stett stage for a court challenge rather than wait for 10 or 15 years for the right case to come along, this say brilliant maneuver, some so-called legal exports are manifesting ignorance of how you set up a constitutional case that is staggering, i heard a bunch on
