distinctly caught up in the identity politics of the democratic party. she wants to claim her piece of the identity pie. right now she checks one box. she s a woman. the democrats like to see you check as many boxes as possible. here s the problem. scott, although it s true, i don t fault her for family lore that she believed in 1986 when she applied to the texas bar. when she made fanfare about she had to hire a genealogist from stanford because the usual commercial test didn t demonstrate enough for her. she had this big fanfare. look, i am related to the first nation. it s not even american indian. neil: isn t that she, you know, applied for anything using the native american label is that she said she right. why? why would you say you didn t? she could have easily said what you said. sorry i thought i was but i
that landlord, fred trump, the president s father. steve eder who broke the story, spoke with the daughters of the late podiatrist about the mystery and he joins me tonight. steve, this has been a long-running question about exactly how the president came to get this deferment from vietnam. you have dug in and discovered the back story here. tell us what you found. yeah, what we found this is like you say, a 50-year mystery and lots of intrigue around president trump and his vietnam record, just like previous presidents, the presidents before him. what we found here is one possible explanation, you know, about the medical aspect of this and the podiatrist who was involved. a guy who was renting his office space from fred trump in jamaica queens, and, you know, his family, their account is this was family lore, how the father had helped the trumps. so the doctor himself has
to do that on the birthers, but feels better now because voters are engaged and you re seeing we all knew he was born in it, or is this a real comeback? hawaii and then he proved to the what are you looking for to determine which this is? you lo satisfaction of anybody with a determine which this is? willingness to be rational that i ll give you the courageous he was born in hawaii. answer, which is, i don t know. i think one of the problems with and both are possible. this elizabeth warren response good! there s nothing wrong with this is, sure, i can accept that her answer. in 94 and 2010, this is the two family lore was that she had first term midterms that were native american heritage, but waves and the only two this is you know, it s first-term midterms that were awfully thin so i m not sure the waves in recent times, this evidence was really quite as happened. and i remember 94 very well because i was involved in that conclusive as she seemed to and seeing a lot of day-t

native american leaders and from indigenous people. they re saying this dna test doesn t prove that she s part cherokee because that s actually a tribe, it s not something that a dna test is going to prove. i think it would have been better if she would have just originally said, you know what, family lore, this is what i thought. i made a mistake. as michael said, i don t think she has much more, you know, of this in her dna than most americans so, you know, we all hear stories in our families and say, i heard it wrong. she said something about her great-grandfather having high cheek bones. donald trump, that s not his motivation. it s not he cares about her misappropriating culture, he s just acting badly and making racist attacks. michael, does it make sense to you that elizabeth warren would go back to this and make this produced video and have
