the gentleman from hawaii, mr. neil abercrombie, introduced this measure on june 26, 2009, and having met all of the committee on oversight and government reform requirements and criteria, the bill is now being considered today on the house floor. i should add that the measure comes to the floor with bipartisan support from over 56 co-sponsors demonstrating this body's eagerness to celebrate the admitans of our 50th state -- admittance of our 50th state, the aloha state. hawaii is one of our country's greatest treasure. ilts cultural heritage is rooted in centuries of precolonial history. and the state continues to protect it with efforts such as hawaiian language immergs schools and cultural -- immersion schools and cultural centers. and it is home of pearl harbor, the pacific fleet and the sight of the surprise attack that led the u.s. to enter the second world war. its eight national parks preserve rich national beauty and ecosystems that support 1/4 of the endangered speedies in the united states. hawaii also c

hawaii became the first in the nation to attempt universal health care. on june 30, 2007, governor linda lingle signed legislation into effect. the word kaki means child. in the kaki care program gave free ins to children whose families could not afford it on their own. those covered at no monthly premium and had access to doctor visits for just $7. the program partnered the state of hawaii with the state's largest insurance provider hmsa. >> it had public-private partnership. we had a health insurance plan that was putting up 50% of the cost. and the state was putting up 50%, so there's a match between the public and private entities. >> the plan targeted hawaiian residents who were the, quote, gap children. kids ineligible for state programs who had not had health care for six consecutive months. >> the original estimates for kaki care were $33,500 children and the monies in the statutes covered 3,500 plan, but the plan was being abused. >> what the legislators did was they created a state insurance program that allowed parents who already were paying f

this is the newspaper in hawaii back in 1961. this is a birth announcement printed in that newspaper. mr. and mrs. barack obama, part of the announcement saying a young boy was born, right? what did you say, angie? i'm sorry? so there it is. this is interesting because if you're -- if somebody out there is saying that barack obama wasn't born in hawaii, then his grandparents would have had to have faked this, knowing that some day he was going to be president and that they would have to put this in there so in the future co-cohe could come b and say, look, he was born in hawaii but he wasn't born in hawaii. >> i understand why you're coming from. you know in the media, as well as anybody else, when stories take on a life of their own, whether it be a product that someone claims had something that wasn't in there, damage control is everything. if this man, he's not afraid of doing press conferences, lord knows we all know that. so i mean, why -- if he can do all the press conferences he does, why not put it to bed in one moment on

i mean, working in hawaii's awesome, but not working in hawaii's even better. >> jimmy: yeah, it's just i don't care." and she was like, "well, i'm not going." so, i ended up going by myself, and i was just in the worst mood ever. and you fly for how many hours? how long does it take to get to hawaii? >> sounds like "forgetting sarah marshall." [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: it does. really. but it really happened to me, though. >> i thought you were doing that thing, like, on "the office" where like, "there are like these guys and bernie dies." >> jimmy: no, no, it does sound like "forgetting sarah marshall." but it did happen to me. >> wow. >> jimmy: but i didn't meet her there. but i flew for, like, 12 hours or something to go to hawaii. and then i land. and then land and you pay with american money. i was upset. i was like, "i want to pay with beads. i flew for 12 hours!" [ laughter ] i want to land somewhere crazy. i went on -- quickly, i'm on a rant now. i went on this helicopter tour of the volcanoes. have you done this? >> oh, no, i haven't been to the big island. >> jimmy: yeah,

is the governor of hawaii a liar?ificate -- >> they've done it. here it is. >> no, that's a certificate of live birth. >> it's the rule in that state they don't hand out copies of the birth certificate. they have pictures of it we'll show you over and over again. pictures of the original -- here they are. what do you think, that was fabricated? >> i can't really see it but i would like to have -- i would like to see it. >> okay. we'll bring those in. we can bring in copies of the original. we have copies of the original photographed. we've gone to an effort, gordon, to establish he was born in hawaii. i just think -- steven, it seems to me the challenge gordon has -- because you have said he was born in the kenyan slums. that means he's an illegal alien. not only illegally president, he's illegally in the united states and he ought to be picked up. >> unless he's been -- >> he's never been naturalized. he's never claimed to have gone flew a p through a process. so by your account he's illegally in the country and his

is it an official state document of the state of hawaii? >> let me try this again so i can be really clear about it. it is a document that says there's another document. it does not include, you are referring to your father's birth certificate, a copy of his birth certify call, it would have the doctor, the hospital he was born in, correct? this is -- by the way, this is just what people are concerned about. >> whose people? >> there are 600,000 people. >> 13% of american, 39 million still think he has muslim and we have done everything to debudget that as an absolute lie. it is irrelevant. >> that's fine. >> i don't know why you are getting so upset. >> congressman, you probably have better things to do, congressman, than this silly little -- >> your side was often -- >> congressman, let me correct you with something. >> he produced his birth certify call from arizona. >> nice try. i voted republican over democrat. don't try your side. i thought the left wing people were nuts as well. >> just produce the birth certificate. >> it is silly.

makes the obama controversy all the more ludicrous by comparison, since the president was born in hawaii, one of those facts that some fringe elements refuse to accept. so last night as part of a resolution celebrating the 50th anniversary of hawaii becoming a state, democrat neil abercrombie inserted this language -- whereas the 44th president of the united states, barack obama, was born in hawaii, the resolution passed with 378 e ay and zero nays. and nobody votes against it,ein republicans who are supporting the birther bill, which includes documentation for future potential candidates and a reminder about how hard it is for some republicans to simply admit that president obama is a natural born american citizen. >> do you believe barack obama was a natural born citizen of the united states and is constitutionally permitted to serve as president? >> the question doesn't sound right. >> basically. >> thanks very much. >> what do you believe personally? >> i would like to see the documents. >> so you're kind of a fray of the lunatic fringe base? >> it's being looked at. >> what do you p

little-known fact here, hawaii, u.s. state. it's now ten house republicans that are cosponsoring a "provide the birth certificate" bill authored by congressman bill posey, a republican who says he doesn't know whether or not president obama is actually an american citizen. as we highlighted last night, the birthers are hard at work trying to get their message out. in addition to the ten sponsors of that bill, all republicans, republican congressman mike castle of delaware found his june 30th town hall meeting momentarily taken over by someone aggressively heckling him on the birther issue. he was then booed roundly more saying that the president is a citizen. of course, the home run for owe conspiracists of any strife is when their ideas can leave the lunatic fringe and enter the mainstream. enter cnn anchor lou dobbs over on our competing network, that anchor campbell brown says is the only one still doing journalism. mr. dobbs is using the platform of his cnn show to advance the birther conspiracy. >> a lot of questions remai

you voted -- you co-sponsored this measure honoring hawaii as our 50th state.is the resolution. 1503. it would require the campaign committee -- well, this is something else. this is the other guys who are pushing this. they want to put a birth certificate out there. how do they reconcile that with voting to say this president clearly is one of us? >> i don't know. i suppose that other effort will go away pretty quietly now. i hope it does. i hope that this lays to rest any controversy that's out there. this shouldn't have been a controversy at all. >> what's in the water out there? >> well, i don't know. i think you saw it, some on the left after the bush/gore race back in 2000. some who called bush the illegitimate president for quite a bill after that. you're seeing it here, not exclusively, but mostly on the right. it's unfortunate. it just kind of cheapens the debate. >> hey, chris -- >> congressman andrews, your thoughts? >> i respect jeff very much. i think that's a ridiculous comparison. in the bush/gore fight there was a legitimate legal fight over whe

hawaii department of health that the certificate is legitimate, plus this birth notice in a hawaii newspaper in 1962. and this birth notice from a different hawaii newspaper on the same day, but other than that, there's no evidence that barack obama was born in the united states. for all we know the guy could be from the moon. oh, they have this picture of barack obama being delivered by dan ho. after reading through these, i'm no longer convinced that i was born in the united states of america. and he pointed out most countries pay half of what we do for health care and opponents point out that the people have to wait in line for for care. here, we only wait in line for stuff like that's important like, iphones and grand theft auto 4. either way, healthcare in this country is a mess. we can sit around joking and complaining about it, or we can do something about it. me, i choose action. so i sent my dr. uncle frank out to hollywood boulevard to see some patients absolutely free of charge. >> hi, dr. uncle frank here today. i'm on the street because i want to meet people and i want to keep t

the republican governor of hawaii, linda lingle, on record, she says obama was indeed born in her state and we should note, she did support john mccain, so weal have a copy of the "honolulu advertiser" the newspaper, august 13th, and the "highway star-bulletin" august 4th, also announcing barack obama's birth. also october last year, the director of the hawaii demt of health wrote a letter stating i have personally seen and verified that the hawaii state department of health has senator obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures. politityfact.com reissued the results from the investigation in june of last year and they say, quote, since we published obama's birth certificate, questions about its authenticity have been frequent and fierce. after reviewinging the evidence, we are confident of our rulings. this is the last one, thanks for bearing with me. the white house press briefing this week, reporter from the world net daily pressed again about the birth certificate, white house press secretary robert gibbs said this following comment

hawaii said we have another copy on record, then hawaii was lying.hite house doesn't talk about this and the national democratic committee doesn't talk about this because when they do there is more evidence this is a great conspiracy. >> who in the media or political world is helping this to cross over from the fringe into the mainstream? one of the things i love about american politics and americans in general, we are enthusiastic about conspiracy theersys. i find it entertaining. the holy grail is to make cnn, to make the mainstream media to be talked about as if you have some credible idea. >> right. even hearing yourself debunked on cnn, that is still coverage. having alan keyes on tv to talk about this is coverage. that is a breakthrough. i think it is the conservative base that goes to town hall meetings and calls congress to get this into issue. members of the congress, john campbell on "hardball" today looked like he was auditioning for the jack lemmon law on "glenngary glennross." bill posey will go to a radio show and say, the only people i

reporting in hawaii for "geraldo at large," ada adam housely. to you in new york. >>> alaskan governor sarah palin dropped a political bomb shell yesterday. >> this political absurdity and politics and personal destruction. todd and i were looking at more than half a million dollars in legal bills just to set the record straight.the people are not going to stop draining the public resources and spending other people's money in this game. i will work hard for and campaign for those who are proud to be american who are inspired by our ideals and won't deride them. i will support others who seek to serve in or out of office. i don't care what party they are in or no party at all, inside of alaska or outside of alaska but i won't do it from the governor's desk. i never believed that i nor any one else needs a tight toll do this, to make a difference, to help people. so i choose for my state and for my family more freedom to progress all the way around so that alaska may progress i will not seek reelection as governor. >> palin's surprise move is sen

the president was born in honolulu, hawaii. the 50th state of the greatest country on the face of the earth. he's a citizen. yes, sir? >> why does this keep coming up? >> because for $15 you can get an internet address and say whatever you want. >> actually you don't even need the internet. you know, lou dobbs on cnn says he's a birther, too. you can't blame this movement of the fringe into the main stream on just the online machine. cnn's helping. back in congress today, hawaii congressman neil abercrombie introduced a simple resolution commemorating the 50th anniversary of hawaii's statehood recognizing it as the birth place of the 44th president of the united states a man named barack obama. a sort of game of parliamentary chess because a vote for the resolution would constitute defacto recognition that obama is a natural born american born in hawaii. that of course would be defacto rejection of the crazy birthers. well, the resolution after an initial delay did pass the house unanimously. so does this mean that the birther

. >> reporter: japan's devastating surprise attack on hawaii's pearl harbor fanned the flames of national hysteria. particularly on the west coast. more than 100,000 japanese americans were ordered to pack their things. the uchidas were forced to leave their home in pasadena, california. >> they were first actually put in the santa anita racetrack, where they lived for about six months in actual horse stables and they actually had to clean out the stables and make it livable. and then after that period, they were moved to gila river, which is in arizona. >> reporter: like so many other families, the uchidas were relocated to detention camps in remote areas of the country. >> they lived in barracks that really didn't have any insulation. it was hot, it was dry, it was windy, and it was very cold in the wintertime, as well. >> reporter: with the end of the war, the japanese americans were finally released. but the shame stung. that's why jenny's father craig helped raise money for this memorial in washington, d.c. its official name is the national japanese american memorial for patriotism d

the president was born in honolulu, hawaii.0th state of the greatest country on the face of the earth. because for $15 you can get an internet address and say whatever you want. >> ken vogel, why do these people, not just the one or dozen or so who have backed this in legislation, we have a new guy out there basically saying he wants a resolution on something else, but here is the one we got neal abercrombie from hawaii who is a democrat who wants to honor the state out there by also throwing in the fact that the president of the united states was born in hawaii. so clearly the battle has been joined here. is this real? >> well, it was real during the campaign, and i thought the obama campaign did a very effective job of undercutting it during the campaign by producing these documents. hey, if these documents don't answer the questions of folks on the right or the libertarian fringe who still continue to insist that obama is not a natural-born citizen, nothing will satisfy them, and i agree with howard that the white house woul

i think people in hawaii and alaska certainly have the missile de.sally e i think all on aericans will to have me of -- as we see north korea and eraame increase the range and acdayracy of their ballistic missiles. >> eric: quoted in hawaii a teisorary platform with radar in case one of this missiles can hit hawaii, is the administration doing enough? wea, canlei we just stop what , is doing and take out one of th brie misir les on the liesncd b in thore they have the opporty to fire it off at us? >> wel lai i think there is le the mtimate concern with this kind of irrational leadership that we have in north -rea, that if we d e-praet into mility activity they could launch again -- atorinst south korea and one oso the reasoally of significance y were using relatively shorts range misir les in the the tesi is thispraovers korea, now takes a much more realistic, mainh harder line, tuaaially t the north than the pred defers did. but, part of this is intended to deter south -retheir b which is ac9,ally taking a stronger line than the obama administration. >> and the you -- you know what es

hawaii law, however, prevents actual release of the document to a third party. cnn had previously reported when hawaii's vital records office went paperless in 2001 that the original paper documents were discarded. that was incorrect. yesterday a spokeswoman for the hawaii department of health said, in fact, that paper birth records have been retained in addition to the department's electronic records. >>> a left wing group liberal mainstream media stepped up some attacks on me for reporting on the controversy over the president's birth certificate when in fact i've stated many times president obama is a citizen of this country in my opinion. the southern poverty law center called on cnn to fire me for my even discussing the story. coming to my defense last night, bill o'reilly. >> when is enough enough? never. freedom of speech allows you to go up to the line -- if lou dobbs was causing danger to someone then you would be legitimate in calling for his firing but he's not. >> isn't the southern poverty law center was so enraged by mr. dobbs and the illegal alien

what you believe. >> i just told you what i believe. >> actually i think barack obama was born in hawaiinot -- hawaii is a state of the state the united states and therefore he is a constitutionally, natural born citizen. >> to be quite honest the information came to us to put that in question. there was a lot of very fascinating information that put that in question. my office did some in-depth research and we found birth records in the newspapers in hawaii that couldn't have been forged. >> exactly. >> you can't go back and rewrite those. so that is my perspective. >> a quick epilogue, congressman mccotter hustled from the camera saying he had to focus on health care was focusing today on introducing a resolution demanding president obama apologize for calling the very stupid arrest of henry louis gates stupid. >>> coming up the birth of sarah palin's national political career came when senator john mccain hand picked the former alaskan governor to be his running mate. hard to believe that was less than a year ago. the amaing rise and fall of sarah palin. next on "countdown." ♪ ooh, ye

i have real doubts whether that could hit hawaii. but that aside, the missiles we saw today were medium-range missiles. what is the impact? the impact is not that they're going to land on a city. the real short-term impact is that japan, understandably, freaks out about this sort of thing to have missiles launched near them and this royals through domestic politics in japan and very unwelcomed and, of course, it violates the security council resolution. most of the consequences are really political and not military. but we'll see more of this, don, this is not the end of this because this process that they're going through will continue and will continue for several months, if not years. >> international security analyst jim walsh, thank you, sir, have a good weekend. >> have a good fourth. >>> fans are registers by the thousands to win tickets to michael jackson's memorial service. we're learning more details we're learning more details about his will. >>> a quick update on the michael jackson death investigation. the associated pre

sean: we deployed missile defense to protect hawaii over the fourth of july weekend. we're cutting back the missile defense and now obama is about to negotiate with russia and apparently give away future defense of the missile system while north korea is launching missiles almost daley. it seems a lot like unilateral disarmament to me. >> yes. not only that but we know obama has goon brood so he will do something bad for america's interests. besides oil prices going up, the one thing russia cares about is making sure poland, our ally, does not have a strategic defense system so yeah, the odds are on obama giving it up. sean: coulter, good to see you. welcome back. >> good to see you. sean: coming up, charlie reaning -- rangel tells president obama to butt out. and much more on governor palin and the bombshell. sean: democratic congressman charlie rangel over the weekend challenged president obama's political judgment. rangel said "i really don't understand why president obama got involved in our primary. now i don't want to use the word wrong but it doesn't seem like

he was born in hawaii. hawaii last i checked is in the united states. and why in the world wouldn't he release his birth certificate? bill: can i answer that question? >> let me answer it first, ok? then i will answer my own question first. i have a theory. the theory is this -- that the chicago mafia inside the white house want to keep this crazy controversy going because the longer it goes, the better the chance that they will con fatal the crazy right -- conflate the crazy right-wing fringe with regular conservatives and regular republicans. bill: that's not a bad theory, but from dealing with the obama white house now for almost -- for more than a year, i will tell you they are -- as every white house that i have ever experienced, they are arrogant. they are saying to themselves that lou -- we won't let lou dobbs tell us what to do, we won't let these cranks on talk radio tell us what to do. they want the birth certificate released, tough. we're not going to do it because we have the power and we don't like them. that's what it's all about. >> that'

i'm from hawaii. i had to stay away past midnight to watch live him speak and my mouth was open and i could not believe that he would actually go on television and incite the public to go into the streets the way he did and that is a role that the leadership in iran has not played. or has not tried to play. so the failure of these two institutions was the direct cause of street confrontation and violence, which as far as i'm concerned is politics by other means but the iranian election is still continuing and will continue as far as i can tell for a while. in the process, as robin pointed out, the damage has been done to the legitimacy will either have to be repaired in serious ways or perhaps face these institutions will have to face serious consequences. and with results for the future structure of power. either elections will become totally meaningless in iran, for instance, or the way they are conducted have to be repaired in serious ways. in short, such cosmetic and in some ways amusing efforts,
