President in that rambling statement begins by blaming the iranians for the war in yemen, which seems a rebuke to sort of -- or a justification for a war thats currently causing the worth humanitarian crisis in the world. what do you think about that? >> this is something that for about a year the congressional caucus has been working on. we have bipartisan sponsors, thomas massie and walter jones on the republican side, just this week leader pelosi signed onto this as well. we tried to force a ...

Congressman mark poecan, co-sponsor of a -- i wanted to have you on to talk about the aspect of the conflict specifically because the president in that rambling statement begins by blaming the iranians for the war in yemen, which seems a rebuke to sort of -- or a justification for a war thats currently causing the worth humanitarian crisis in the world. what do you think about that? >> this is something that for about a year the congressional caucus has been working on. we have bipartisan sponso...

Exclusion act had a child born in the united states and it was well settled by the supreme court. and if that wasnt enough, go to 1952, the walter mccarron act, 18 u.s. code, section 1401, a child born in the united states is an american citizen. >> okay. so you dont buy it but let me ask you this what if the president did sign this executive order if it exists and not a mechanism to motivate his base and did sign it, it was challenged in court and then it worked its way up to the u.s. supreme c...

Look, do i feel it meets muster? absolutely not. this is again a political ping-pong thats going to be bandied about. an executive order, jake, cannot be put forward unless the constitution at authority is vested in the president here in article 1, section 8, its with congress. did congress ever cede authority? absolutely not. supreme court held a hallmark case in 1898 after the 14th amendment had been ratified 30 years before that, again, those hallmark amendments 13, 14 and 15 dealing with the...

The government is taking comment on a proposal by the white house that would expand the extent to which they can deny -- they can denim grants the right to get a green card based on their taking of public services like section 8 housing vouchers or food stamps. this is not only the policy approach but its also political. theyre trying to put democrats in the position of defending not only immigrants but also defending people who take public benefits. those are two issues that republicans think t...

Particularly those who have entered illegal and provide foreign aid to these same countries, this is a crazy situation that we are looking at and needs to be addressed, we take care of americans first and then we take care of the rest of the world although to globalist that doesnt sound right. rob: yeah, here are some of the potentially disqualifying benefits that and illegal immigrant could be taking that would actually get them unable or have them unable to get their green card. any part of me...

Will have to be ratified by congress. will the president have that support by either continuing to threaten or eliminating an important trade partner like canada? >> i dont think so. whats even more confusing to me and everybody should -- can easily do this on google right now, article 1, section 8 of the u.s. constitution, places the u.s. congress and responsibility for our foreign trade agreements, so whatever the president says, congress is going to have to approve it. congress is facing elec...

>> of course. thats like announcing when youre going to bring the troops out. the $12 million in the temporary relief package until all will be great. if there was a lot of pushback and it was not just the usual republican suspects like bob corker and jeff flake. you had part of the leadership in the senate, pat roberts, john kennedy, a whole bunch of them. so the question is whether they will give the president the kind of patients that he is asking right now. >> first up, i think it -- people ...

$500 which gets you nowhere. >> honestly, people that look like gianna know and i are not the face of the welfare system was white working-class americans make 34% of those welfare recipients. im not surprised he is a republican and would not support a welfare program even though he benefited from it self. democrats have to be really smart about this because if you start having this sort of universal base income program, republicans could use it as an opportunity to cut other welfare programs su...

About it. he was talking about the fact that the president is unpredictable and its not a good policy and all these people are against it including republicans, as well. but thats not the point. you know, the constitution very clearly says article one, section 8, subsection 3, the congress is in charge of regulating foreign commerce. all of our commerce with other nations. so its congress not doing its job, not just donald trump. >> wendi, i keep thinking about this point which theres a fundamen...
