BEGIN TRANSCRIPT:
First Speaker: I have a personal interest so I thought Id share it with you. Former U.S. Congressman from Hawaii Neal Abercrombie has been a friend of mine for decades. In fact, when I first met Neal he was driving a cab in Honolulu. Well, Neal and I spent a lot of time together in Washington, D.C. during Obamas inauguration. Neal told me then that he was gonna run for governor of Hawaii, that he had
, that, that hed had enough of being a U.S. Congressman. He also told me that
stories
he had told me many times after Barack became famous, that he was in college going to the University of Hawaii, he was a friend of Barack Obamas dad and that he remembers Barack Obama as a little kid. He used to call him Barry. In fact, I did a TV interview with, uh, Abercrombie at CSPAN the day after the inauguration and we had to
we had to stop twice because he referred to the President as Barry which he
after he did he said, I cant do that, I gotta call him Mr. President. Well, when Neal promised me that when he became governor, he was going to cut through all the red tape, he was going to get Obamas birth certificate once-and-for-all and end this stupid controvery, th.. that he was not born in the United States.
Yesterday talking in Neals office, Neal says that he searched everywhere using his power as governor at the [I didnt understand this] Womens and Childrens Hospital in Queens Hospital, the only place that kids were born in Hawaii back when Barack was born,
there is no Barack Obama birth certificate in Hawaii.
Second Speaker: Really?
First Speaker: Absolutely no proof, at all, that he was born in Hawaii.
Third Speaker: Wow!
First Speaker: Now he went out, he LOVES Obama. I mean he purposely did this to get rid of that, that question. Now, got some egg in the face. I mean now he admits publically that there is no birth certificate.
Second Speaker: Well,
there might be an addendum to that. There is the story there is a birth announcement. But its been explaned. His grandparents could called the newspaper and said, Hey! He, we kn
, our grandchild was born. And ah
he didnt have to be born in Hawaii for that. So its raising the issue again.
First Speaker: Absolutely!
Second Speaker:
after it seemed to be put to bed.
First Speaker: And I asked him, I go, Well, when do you remember when do you remember Barack? Whens your first memory? And he goes, I remember him playing, like, in the T-ball league. And I go, Well, when he was, like, five or six. And he goes, Something like that. And I go, Well, what about before that? And he goes, Well, I dont really remember him much before that. which I thought was very odd.
Second Speaker: Really?
First Speaker: Anyway.
Second Speaker: I have a question for you.
First Speaker: Yeah?
Second Speaker: According to
ah, ah,
federal law, and I dont know constitution law, but I assume it would be
ah
why is he allowed to be president of the United States then if he cant prove he is a U.S. citizen?
First Speaker: Well thats
thats
Second Speaker: Was he born here? Thats the big question. [This may not be quite right. I had trouble understanding.] Thats weird.
First Speaker: And now now Abercrombie is the first to say that he he, that Abercrombie is a Obama lover
Second Speaker: Right
First Speaker:
that hes concerned that
that is really going to be an issue during the election, re-election.
Second Speaker: So it has taken off as a, a big story again, huh?
First Speaker: Yes.
Second Speaker: Well, well, whats interesting about it is that this guy attacked people who questioned that he was born in Hawaii just a few weeks ago.
First Speaker: Neal did.
Second Speaker: Yes.
First Speaker: Yeah, I mean
Im tellin ya. Neal and I are buddies and during this whole inauguration when I was in Washington for those a ten days, I spent a lot of time with Neal, and anytime anybody would come up and bring this up, youre right, Neal was almost militant about it. I remember him as a kid. Hes from Hawaii, born and raised
so, needless to say, Im sure he was shocked more than anybody by this whole thing.
Second Speaker: Dont you have to produce
papers that say you were
First Speaker: Youd think so. Youd have to, wouldnt cha?
Second Speaker: Well, theres been a certificate of Live Birth, but thats being questioned too, because you dont have to
its not the official Birth Certificate.
First Speaker: Thered have to be one at the hospital, signed by the doctor certifying birth by a
a birth. And there isnt that.
Second Speaker: Youre kidding me.
First Speaker: Its like aaaa
baptism papers. Its not worth the paper its written on, really.
Second Speaker: Well, Mike, how hard would it be to find out what doctors were on then.
First Speaker: Apparently he cant find any of that
that says that they were there.
