Payless and I know lots and lots of people right dying at too high heat from and have a chance to speak to attorney Philip berg has -- weak corporate has been in the news a plate. He's a gentleman who filed a lawsuit. Challenging man the legitimacy of Barack Obama's presidential campaign. For family and to establish. United States citizenship in accordance with the constitutional requirements we have to be. A -- natural born US citizen I think in the specific words from the constitution would you give -- big big questions about Barack Obama's birth certificate. And so it's cut the fancy of people on both sides with the big Iraq or support -- or whether you're McCain's support of people saying gee what's gone on his so desperate to go to indicates is the source of self right and that happens to be attorney Philip -- good morning attorney -- earlier this morning. Thank you very much -- going to thank you very much for joining us you'll hear rest three voices in the studio mine I'm Tom Finneran almost warrant told them. And holly -- a -- representing the Arab democratic and Republican perspectives here this presidential campaign -- Bergen needless to say. They're -- they're interested as well tell us what led you to file a lawsuit he had and the status of that lawsuit. As we speak this morning.

What that means to do it was for over a year once and talking about whether Barack Obama as they quote natural born citizen. And therefore entitled to run for. President as compared to go or are Schwarzenegger who people keep talking about is will -- amend the constitution. But Barack Obama says I don't care about the constitution and I really mean that so as significant as in June of 2008. One the Obama campaign web site. They placed the document on the certification of wide -- Indicating that he was born in Hawaii that document has been by experts it's a forgery it's been older at the bottom it says any alterations it's invalid. And he refuses to since that time to put up -- real birth certificate. And I believe he hasn't put up as birth certificate because point blank. The I was not born here in Hawaii like he keeps alleging arrow evidence in the case is warning Kenya. It's an absolute disgrace. These national media really which has -- them. They have been vetted him at all. Compared to what's happened with -- air power in the this month and so they went through her up and down and that's fine if you do one do for the other. But Obama had a free ride for twenty months. And it's a total disgrace and anytime you mention it into him at this point. It doesn't mean anything Reverend Wright doesn't mean anything -- a BitTorrent it doesn't mean anything and -- doesn't mean nothing means anything. But why hasn't he released his medical records why hasn't he releases records and occidental university Columbia University Harvard. We believe the absence because they're probably indicates that he's as citizens Indonesia or Kenya he probably receive foreign aid. And and that's what he's probably not really look.

Let me ask a question then about the idea of race that is this so much to talk about here -- delighted you're able to join a serenade of 680 WRKO. The status of the lawsuit as we speak this morning -- birth.

Late Friday afternoon after hours after 6 o'clock the case was dismissed by the local district. By the district justices and federal court in Philadelphia. We received -- late that night. And all we can we're working we're probably going to finally. Notice of appeal today indicating they were taken -- case directly to United States Supreme Court and we hope to file that by tomorrow.

Given given the courts the federal courts' reluctance to engage jar ought to try to resolve what they might -- political. Controversies and I think that's a longstanding reluctance. Do you have any reasonable hope that. The the United States Supreme Court will intervene at this very very late juncture and have any heated campaign.

Well I think if they don't it's really absurd and it hurts everyone in the United States of America because that they don't do it. We're going to continue to -- Electoral College and opposites on most of the swearing in. If Obama gets elected. And then it's -- hand you have an illegal president in office did you have a democratic congress which were used to impeach him. World leaders don't know he's not. He he's not -- leaders know he is it's been discussion -- through your that they know who was born in Kenya. Because those laws at that time he's not. Natural born and I went to that. But is it will be a constitutional crisis and I think that the Supreme Court. This has never been dealt with as a case of first impressions of the Supreme Court I think they would have to do. That this record that I had no standing if I don't have standing and -- you don't have standing in the other. Gentleman in Europe has -- standing -- who has standing. What that means that some might think about it some. Thirty year old could drive in the United States across the border from any foreign country and come in and registered.

Mr. -- yeah protested that his wallet at all on the voice a watch -- mr. -- just so everybody knows everybody I'm a Democrat mr. virtually uniform wanderers. And you know I if you intriguing which you brought up by enough heard about this and she -- also dismissed and places like. Fact -- Dog dot org which is you know the the Annenberg political a fact check organization. An and pasted it in addictive looked at the is specific original birth certificate they wanted to Chicago. They concluded that it meets all the requirements of the State Department for approving US citizenship. That their claims that it lacks a re seal or signature at their faults there on the opposite side of the on on the backside of the of the document. So in and they also have posted high resolution photographs. Of the document as supporting documents that it too was their case so they concluded was born in the US just as you always said what are you saying of that.

Well first -- you forgot one thing you mentioned fact -- you mentioned their own Battenberg Chicago -- and you forgot this state that Barack Obama. With the bill layers used to sit on the board of -- of Battenberg Chicago so I think there's a.

Whoa hold on everybody in its and a berg was a very conservative sort of an ambassador appointed by Ronald Reagan. He had a lot of money and eat any founded a number different foundations and organizations. Let's be clear Brock Obama did not sit on this board.

Yes -- you're you're you're absolutely wrong on that. That he says -- down by Annenberg Chicago and Annenberg Chicago's subordinate. Barack Obama sat on with the lawyers to respect your stance on the.

Fact check toward org would do was the board did Barack Obama's out on is what you're saying.

Now he sat on the number of Chicago board which owns -- dot org a little conflict of interest and and that document you're talking about that. Basically shoot this scene document as what sort Obama's. Web site. While outcome one as a CO one doesn't have missed you the seals on the -- let me finish and you look at it if you look at that document. You know it's not correct if you look at that document in the -- my underneath and why it is and it's he was born in Hawaii. And this issue -- so open why would you put up a certification library when you could put up a birth certificate. And then there's -- Altman and it is just just answer that why. That's in all of your listeners there they need versatility it's a gentleman called me the other day that I've been my interpretation -- for forty years. I -- where it wasn't now.

Maybe maybe let let me answer that question for your personal that defect at the Annenberg political fact check is a product of the -- public policy center of the University of Pennsylvania okay period. Okay that's that's a boat fact checked -- that's on the -- so that's number one number two in terms of why would nature should issue would be the the diversity of in the like look this is ridiculous it in my opinion this show.

Departure right I mean -- Conservative -- privately aren't that took people might not be approached differently either file writer a file left prospective so let's just say you know I'll I'll listen -- that's somewhere in the middle and it's a while I. I didn't know that and how they want information. If in fact any of us had to go to web birth -- for a birth certificate including Barack about her attorney -- yet. We'd go to our respective what City Hall law. Bureau of vital statistics and say look so he would -- and 1 January 27 1950. My dad's name was this my mom's maiden name was this blah blah blah. But I have my birth certificate I'd get it it'd have to stamp on it I think the -- certificate the registry has seal and all the rest and then I'm good to go why wouldn't it just just take political radar this why would a Barack Obama does that he put it on the web site --

no what that this is not a birth certificate that is the certification of allied -- there's a difference.

this -- said the same information at the birth certificates but Arabs were determined not so this could be resolved doesn't it.

He just -- bill if he'd just released his birth certificate when that answer and there aren't rider and there's.

We waited as long as of this certified copy from the stores because I don't believe that more but he can't do it. Why -- why the website up. Greatly and as of this morning it's 79 million hits on my website. If you don't let's assume that only thirty million people keep coming back. Thirty million people were talking 1234. Other people about a hundred million people talk about this you don't think this could affect the election. And it's as simple as he was why would -- it would have been or investment welcoming.

This he was -- visiting his grandmother step likely going to answer some outreach differ about twelve hours he's going to spend and hours boarded the I don't clippers who worked on these things and these grandmothers are going to feel this.

Ultra left position on this one but I can neutral position should have -- they haven't produced but even at the natural born. In in Hawaii and noses -- and Indonesia. And in his book he states. That might -- parents' divorce and his mother remarried and United States you know post a tour from Indonesia. It has book he says my stepfather return before I did in Asia when I return immediately went to school in in 1960 Indonesia it was a war. The only people who -- who go to school there were people considered natural born. Natural born and he was by adoption either his stepfather adopted and or acknowledge him because he delay in this verse that we could all kinds of reserves. There when he came back at the age of planned a person of ordinary website we have school records indicate that name has batteries so -- it indicates nationality Indonesia. Now one. -- when he came back first at the end chain's name here of that. Not only is that I'm not paralyzed by this guy but his name today's political meant to be -- when he came back the United States. -- came through immigration became through immigration. He would even consider it would've gotten it certification. Of citizenship which would have indicated that he's now naturalize. Or if he didn't go through immigration which is a real possibility of aids and his mother to send them back. He might today be in the illegal aliens not even able to hold the seat of the United States senator from Illinois. He has the gruesome documentation and what what's unbelievable is that there's no checks and balances in the system and therefore the they're saying I don't have standing what final standings who has -- Andy it means that. We can just do what he wants without -- there's only three requirements for president 135. We know that number two of the -- it's fourteen years in Tibet. And that they're being natural born. And it's he can't produce that documentation and the Supreme Court doesn't allow it. I'm that he might hat because its its equipment Arnold Schwarzenegger could be running for president right now because I don't --

Still if the you know. If they'd taken maybe out brackets that fourteen hours out Hawaii in and done two hours of going out and get this birth certificates that would answer all of these questions. Eight I I personally think you would be helped to the -- campaign feeling just you know finally answer these questions. But what is your chances now that you know the case has been thrown out what are your chances. Isn't this just -- you know let you know it's not going to happen at this point two began to -- a complete he's going.

I don't think so I think we have an excellent chance because decision had to get stuck and personal what you do that out with what but you know what I haven't spent -- Two hours because he -- called ahead and said. I'm going to be out there visiting my sick grandmother and I would just like occur when I come in the office we handle this me yeah and he would have been in that office and ten minute with a certified copy.

feel the you know I gotta say -- taught him Tom -- a host yeah I agree with you wholeheartedly -- look let's be real easy United States senate that if he called -- a lot a -- who -- Honolulu. Instead they have got to be by -- and I eat what I said that my designee -- told that by MI -- aerobics and thought yeah I'll read your identity that you read real burden for just so everybody could go back to the respective lives in Korea isn't sure yet -- look at you know that that the distraction of -- Bring this all the -- up to the US Supreme -- years -- maybe --

Choir -- assist attorneys arguing for why he doesn't have to give up the birth certificate program.

Is this website about it Obama crimes OB AMA CR I MES -- Their spread the word and then I took what was that. But the -- I'm Cynthia that is it. The versatility to be added he could produce -- not -- he put his Social Security number we're not asking for his bank account number went -- how much money in the bank. We're just if it was something oral the listening here after utilized at various times through the passport for a little late for school every.

He he has a passport and and but by the -- the document that's on the web site is a certification. Of birth.

Certification five for it yet I adverse -- also known according to what I read here also known as a short firm birth certificate which is what the department. Well vote health in Hawaii only offers -- I want.

Loosely that's defraud the ones on there expend all.

Okay so he is offering it futures you're just saying it's a fraud. So should a miracle he wasn't our friend -- sitting on the talk there.

of significant date people like that spotlighted -- Bob -- August of 2008. Significant is they had that they put on their website in June of 2008. To try to rebut all the discussion don't want why didn't he put his person to have to get up at that time. And please don't let what you said there right these sorts of sorts Bluetooth to the -- the same and he could've gotten through you know the Senate he -- got certified copy. Sent to them and put up one other thing he's at this sports are -- what -- working on now if he's probably on the diplomatic passport vote let let's. I had gotten into produced.

I'm Susan isn't sure additions look at gold -- fact. Check dark lord that's where I get my materials and in my effects that -- great the -- clearly delineate exactly what happened here. They went through a neutral non partisan pot party went through and looked at him up at the conclusion that I get my facts are becoming regular straight Kelberg for the rebuttal about just.

Back like it amounted to bargain I mean with one. You can't get past first base with him effect -- dot org is a phony as sort of conflict of interest there given neutral party and they look at a couple of.

I just told you that that -- instant check -- into -- political fact check is a product of the Annenberg political polls to witness -- let me finish let me finish your first. It's the in -- public policy center of the University of Pennsylvania.

Double Lawrence Hill appear Ollie -- and I hit try to piece it together. Isn't before Warren is simple and and similar -- Kubrick. Isn't the simplest solution for this controversy. In this argument. For somebody in the Obama campaign of upper rack himself because warrant -- CD's do other things he's got other things on his mind. But you can send they'd trust the designated lieutenant doubt the get the real deal presented to that cool at the end where you know that in in Pennsylvania with a suit was dismissed on Friday night. End of story I don't.

Why are currently on this to change so let me answer the -- that now did what the fact checked the Arnold staffers. Wind promptly installed much okay national that you haven't finished I don't interrupt you when you're talking -- let me finish you you don't want to let me talk you.

Easiest thing to do. To go down into that courtroom that on Friday night dismiss this case. Britain Barack percentage attorneys down presents the original. Shows it to mr. bird shows that article of course it's not mr. -- judgment by quite obviously -- what -- you know like want to that question because he doesn't want to give these people credibility number one and number.

Really get -- I wish I'd get on replacement would avert the heir apparent medical records mattered much human Barack. Or. Matter and at this -- issue. It will -- right constitutional crisis I hope the economy. Blowing that up as well it it it the last word got a right. In its relations boy a lot of a lot better than. And it -- the settings because. I think McCain or McCain which we -- presidency. It has a lot of issues that are going to affect the American people and I were a lot more concerned with what air what is going to do.

Got you know as the -- and give myself the final word on this because and I imagine executives -- off -- caller yeah there's -- but there's a lot the -- and one of the things you cannot avoid in the controversies foreign policy foreign affairs Pakistan Iran all the rest of that stuff in the dome but try the economic troubles the constitution. Should not be trimmed the constitution should not be. Modify the constitution should not be ignored a -- looked as if it's an. Even convenience because if you don't meet constitutional basics don't -- that's in here it's an -- you know that that that Iraq is not -- curious and I think feel -- doing a good good job at trying to you know indulge our curiosity about this.

Stamp your point is I've -- a candidate that having accusations made against them actually down in Louisiana race they accused night dive not having a certificate from Harvard Business School. So what we did you know -- we went and got a copy of the certificate and we put it up a web site very easy because the actual certificate -- we've also you know padded up in the office of people can -- it -- the client ever seen and many think it takes it cuts out the links be -- that present her religion our critics Monday.

into the realm where the we did the at stared at him right -- courts if in fact they came up with a legitimate president of offensive statements Siegel will -- loss -- of -- talked about mr. Burkhardt talked about that they've lost that he lost the citizenship when he was ended in Indonesia. By the way we haven't talked about the the birth announcement that was published in the Honolulu advertiser. On August 13 you know week or so after he was.

Many people put announcements and about birth and they don't say where the birth occurred and that was a not a regular newspaper that was eight shopping -- advertiser which people and want to put anything.

The rise up from the hospital. Well -- and you know we did we got to take a break in I have to thank attorney Gilbert for joining us in spending so much time. Fascinating debate fascinating discussion obviously gone up to the US Supreme Court I think holly I'm with you probably little likelihood of success but nonetheless.
