	Yes, America's Anchorman is away, and this is your undocumented anchor man sitting in, no supporting paperwork, undocumented, unnatural born, no long form certificates of any kind whatsoever.
	Great to be with you.
	Royal wedding fever.
	Royal wedding fever on the uh on the on the Rush Limbaugh show.
	I love the way uh the feed m all the networks were carrying, I guess it must be from uh the BBC or whatever, the basically the taking the standard feed from London.
	And whoever was directing it at the BBC would obviously close in uh f close in f uh on uh dignitaries of interest, presumably uh to the BBC's audience.
	You know, look, there's the uh there's the Earl of Ulster, and there's Lady Davina Windsor, and nobody nobody at uh Shep Smith, I thought, at Fox had the best lied on this.
	He said I think he said it's like watching uh two two teams, neither of whom you support play a game you you're not even sure what game they're playing.
	Uh and he made the best of it.
	But watching Diane Sawyer.
	I love the way, by the way, if we are still in a monarchical mood in the United States, why don't we just make Diane Sawyer queen?
	She's actually far queenlier than Queen Elizabeth.
	Uh but she was doing that that that thing she does where she gets her eyebrows dancing.
	You know that thing, HR, when uh Diane Sawyer does the whole her her eyebrows start heading up faster than the debt ceiling.
	Uh and you know she's she's got these anguished, agonized, caring eyebrows as she uh as she attempts to explain something that she hasn't simply hasn't got a clue about.
	Uh but uh Royal Wedding Fever, uh at the Rush Limbaugh Show, so do do tell us your opinion on the Royal Wedding, because I know all you guys, particularly out there, the Howard Dean crowd in the pickup trucks with the Confederate flags, I know I know the Howard Dean crowd are all really following the Royal Wedding uh really closely.
	So do uh give us your opinion on that.
	One eight hundred two eight two eight eight two.
	But as it is also the end of the week, you know what that means.
	Live from New York City, it's open line Friday.
	Yes, Monday to Thursday, a highly trained broadcast specialists decides and restricts the range of subjects that we discuss on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
	So if this was any day other than Friday, we would be talking about the Royal Wedding for the full three hours.
	But as it is Friday, that means you, the listener, the non-trained, non-broadcast specialists, get to determine the content of this show.
	1 800 282-2882.
	Call me up and talk about whatever you want to but talk about.
	Natural born citizens, long form birth certificates, I'll talk about any of it.
	You want to uh talk uh uh uh about the uh uh terrible problems they're having in Alabama and other states with the uh storms down there, uh amazing death tolls, and really not getting talked about uh on the uh in in in in the media at the moment, which are all kind of focused on doing the uh soft focus Barbara Walters Diane Sawyer stuff.
	Uh you want to talk about that?
	1800-282-2882.
	You want to talk about Paul Ryan's plans for Medicare, 1-800-282-2882.
	Uh I w I I made a point yesterday that I just want to expand on a little bit today.
	Uh, and I said that it's easy to think that Barack Obama uh because in part because he does it himself.
	Well, you know, whoever thought that a man called Barack Hussein Obama would be president of the United States.
	It's easy to think of him as abnormal, uh as strange, as exotic.
	But the dangerous thing about Barack Obama is that there are millions of people who think exactly like him, and that they have unprecedented access to the controlling levers of society.
	For example, if you take his view on foreign policy, which is essentially that the United States, uh we need a diminished role for the United States in the world because the United States has used its power for ill in the world.
	It has not been a force for good.
	Since the American era began after the Second World War, the United States has not been a force for good in the world, it has been a for uh a force for ill, uh, and so it is necessary to restrain and diminish US power in the interests of global harmony.
	You see that uh in what's happening in Libya, this uh instant quagma, Quagmar in a can.
	The Quagma you can quagmar in the microwave.
	Fastest quagmar in history, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, uh, where Obama wanted to use it as an exercise in restraining American power, uh so he outsourced it to NATO.
	Uh and as a result now, the rebels are losing towns.
	The rebels th we we we we've come up with the only rebel movement that can't uh toss off the local strongman and instead they're losing towns, Gaddafi's taking back towns, uh and the British and the French, the British and the French, by the way, two of the biggest uh um and and most serious remaining militaries on the planet cannot knock off some nickel and dime loser uh presiding over a barren bitter desert.
	Uh the British and French, two permanent members of the UN Security Council cannot knock off some tinpot loser transvestite in the presidential palace in Tripoli.
	Uh that's what it's come to.
	And that's the world without American power.
	Uh that's now you think of you think of how uh Barack Obama thinks of foreign policy.
	Everybody, everybody in the faculty of United States uh most prestigious educational institutions thinks that Barack Obama's view of the malign influence of the United States in the world is entirely normal.
	They don't think it's weird, they don't think it's odd.
	All the most influential figures, uh the world he lived in at the University of Chicago.
	These people think his views are normal, and your view, your view that on the whole, the United States has been a benign superpower.
	Yours is the weird view.
	Yours is the abnormal view.
	And this is this is r th th the rise of Obama.
	The fact that fifty-three percent of the American people voted for this man to be president, despite his background and despite his views, uh, is testament to uh the the the grip that these ideas have uh on uh key uh institutions in the United States.
	I mean, we we make a j I was joking yesterday about political correctness.
	I was joking yesterday about how uh unscientific feminist members of the American uh Academy of Physicians had got their head guy fired.
	They'd forced him to resign uh because he'd referred to a scientific survey uh marveling at the uh restorative properties of male sperm uh on women when they had unprotected sex.
	In order when it came to a choice between the science and uh and and the tenets of the feminist faith, the feminist members of the American Academy of Physicians said, No, uh the tenets of our feminist faith must outpunch the science, and this guy has to resign.
	He has to go.
	His career's over.
	He's the first man in the history of the American Academy of Physicians to have his career ended by vascularized vaginas.
	It's never happened before in human history.
	Never before, never before, has uh a member of the American Academy of Physicians uh seen his uh career self-destruct uh over a vascularized vagina.
	And we think this is kind of wacky.
	It's not.
	It's the air that we breathe now in so many American institutions.
	My uh ten-year-old came home from school uh uh uh a couple of months ago, and I asked him, I said, Oh, what did he do at school today?
	You know, I'm like most dads, I'm not really interested.
	I'm it's just a bit of pro forma stuff, I'm just going through the motions.
	I don't really want to know what the kid thinks.
	But he goes he he goes and he says, Oh, it was great I got to play part of the uterus lining.
	And I'm turning away and already sort of walking off, and I I I hear this and I think, hang on a minute, that can't be right.
	I go, what do you mean?
	And uh and my youngest boy goes, uh yeah, I got to be part of the uh uterine lining.
	And I say, Well well what what was this for?
	And it turns out they'd all gone into the school gym and reenacted uh the female body parts.
	And he had got to be one of five guys playing the uh uterine lining.
	Now at that point I'm getting a I'm kind of getting annoyed because, you know, I said uh I was hoping he'd get, you know, one of the starring roles.
	It turned out like his best friend got to be the cervix.
	But he just got to be one of five guys playing the uterine lining.
	Okay, how you how humiliating is that?
	That's like the gentleman of the chorus.
	That's like those prancing waiters uh in Hello Dolly.
	Uh, you know, you don't you don't get to be the big star cervix, but you get to be one of the five guys playing the uterine lining.
	And he goes, Oh, and then I was turned into blood and had to go through the vagina.
	I'm thinking, what's this about?
	And so I'm actually I'm taking an interest in this now, because you know, they don't do any Shakespeare or anything.
	This is This is the nearest to a serious school play they get.
	He gets to be he gets to be part of the chorus boys in the uterine lining.
	I said, Well, who got to play the penis?
	And he says to me, they decided to eliminate the penis.
	Right there, that is the history of American education in a nutshell.
	The boys apparently had wanted to be the penis and and thought they could all you know they could share the role and do the penis as a kind of Chinese dragon.
	And the teacher nicks that.
	No, no, no, we're not we're not gonna have.
	So they teach you the facts of life.
	They're exactly like the woman at the American Academy of Physicians did to uh did did to the poor head guy, the president of the American Academy of Physicians, they teach you the so-called facts of life by eliminating one of the participants.
	So every boy and girl in the school, nobody gets to be the penis, but they all get to play different parts of female body parts.
	And uh and and then uh eventually uh in instead of having a uh instead of having a penis, uh certain lucky boys get to walk in and out of the uh vagina all all day long.
	Now if I were to do this, by the way, if if it was the other way around and my son went to school and uh the teacher said, What did you do?
	The very same teacher that had said, What did you do today?
	And uh said, Oh, we we played out in the yard and uh I got to be part of a uterine lining.
	Uh the the uh New Hampshire Social Services would take my kids away from uh me and say, Oh, I'm an abuser, I'm a sick freak, kinky uh insane abuser, uh with paedophile tendencies and the kids have got to be taken away from me.
	But it's apparently normal now.
	It's normal for for grade schoolers to to uh uh to to to to play part of the uterine lining.
	And I wouldn't mind, you know, in in the in the scope of things, if you had a comprehensive education system, there would be room in it for uterine lining uh tendencies uh uh studies.
	Um there was uh I can't remember, I'm not sure I even know quite how the uterine lining all connects up with everything.
	He said a friend of his best friend, I think got to be a f one best friend got to be the cervix, and the other friend got to be uh a phalopian tube.
	Now I'm I I've got to the my advanced stage in life.
	I've no idea what a fallopian tube is.
	If I was walking through the street and a fallopian tube fell on my head, I wouldn't know what it I wouldn't know what it was.
	But this my son uh one of his best friends got to play the fallopian tube in uh in school.
	And I wouldn't mind Philopian tube studies being part of a comprehensive education system.
	But when you look at what we don't teach our children, uh when you look at uh American s uh school children's declining performance in math, declining performance in science, uh declining performance in history, uh the idea that we've got time at school uh to to dress them all up and play the uterus lining uh is simply absurd.
	And that's what we're up against here.
	Where what we've what we've created is a world where uh almost every key institution in society uh is in the hands of people who think like Barack Obama.
	Whenever I speak at uh at high schools, for example, and I talk about the the this unsustainable debt, I talk about how uh uh interest payments on the debt are gonna be covering uh the entire cost of the Chinese military within a couple of years, uh and they will make uh uh Medicare is gonna collapse and social security is gonna go people are stunned by this.
	People don't believe it's true.
	Uh everybody thinks that all you need to do to make stuff better is to have more government spending.
	All you need to do to make the planet a safer place is to f is for America to retreat from the world, and then all the nice people will get on without America bombing them all the time.
	Every key lever, every key institution in society is now controlled by forces profoundly hostile to conservatism.
	Uh and that is why we cannot don't be surprised when uh a country raised uh under those kind of institutions then elects uh somebody like Barack Obama uh in uh in November of two thousand eight.
	Why wouldn't they?
	When the air that you breathe is liberal, when the schoolhouses are liberal, when the sitcoms are liberal, when the pop songs are liberal, when the air that you breathe is liberal, it's asking an awful lot uh for uh people raised in that environment to then go and pull the lever for uh for a small government conservative every other November.
	And this is the game we have to get uh back in too.
	It's not enough uh just to defeat people every other November.
	We've got to actually start taking back these institutions uh including the sitcoms and the pop songs because actually they didn't used to be in the hands of uh crazy wacky liberals uh a couple of decades back.
	The churches, the mainline churches didn't used to be in the hands of uh crazy wacky liberals a couple of generations back.
	Uh the schoolhouses didn't used to be in the hands of crazy wacky liberals a couple of generations back.
	We've ceded too much turf and we have to start taking it back.
	1 800 28282 Markstein Infor Rush.
	Hey Royal wedding disco fever at Open Line Friday on the Rush Limbaugh Show 1 800 28282 HR just asked me by the way I was talking about my son playing part of the chorus boys in the uterine lining at school whether it was a musical I mean honestly no no HR, it wasn't uh it it wasn't Fallopian tube the musical or uh or actually that's not a bad idea or uh or Servix the musical.
	Actually I saw Servix at the uh Royal Wedding uh coverage just a couple of hours ago.
	He was uh he was on the left hand side of uh the aisle sitting between uh Lady Gabriella Windsor and the Grand Duke of Luxembourg Servix, you can't miss him.
	Hey let's go to Lisa in Indianapolis.
	Lisa it's great to have you with us on the Rush Limbaugh show.
	Well I thank you Mark and I really enjoy listening to you substitute for Rush when he's not available.
	Well he will be back here on Monday and I'm uh and I'm very and I'm very glad uh that too um I um just wanted to say that I'm very very jealous right now of your British citizenship because when this country goes to heck because our elected representatives just refuse to pay attention to the fact that we are going broke once we do,
	you're gonna have a much easier time getting into New Zealand or Australia or some other business friendly country that will still have a sustainable economy.
	So you're you're wishing uh you're looking at the 1948 uh British nationality act and thinking hey why couldn't I get a piece of that action uh you you're uh you you're right uh Lisa I I well well for start Lisa let me just say this uh seriously.
	You know, as far as I'm concerned, I've come here, this is the last stop there's on the tour.
	There's nowhere else to go.
	Uh and and it's a tr and it's a tragedy uh if this country goes belly up.
	So I don't even want to encourage people about uh starting to look for bolt holes.
	You know, you can worry about bolt holes uh when the whole powder keg finally collapses.
	And by that time Barack Obama will have uh will have fulfilled his first time pledge to lower the oceans so there will be uninhabited a atolls emerging in the Pacific that you will not require extensive immigration long form immigration documentation to get to, Lisa.
	So you don't want to worry about that.
	But I would urge you, Lisa, not to start thinking it like that.
	This is the hill to die on if it if it has to be that way.
	This country is worth defending.
	That's what the Tea Party movement told us.
	From Iceland, Bulgaria, Greece, France, everybody was just in rampaging through the streets saying why doesn't the government do more for us?
	In this country this country is the only country where movement arose saying we could do just fine if the government got the hell out of our pockets and now they're not fifty percent.
	That's the tragedy.
	There's millions and millions of people.
	Is that if Barack Obama gets elected to a second term because the people won't rally around a leader like Herman Kane or somebody who, as you said earlier in the first hour, is a servant of the people, not a dictator of the people then and we end up with a Mitt Romney or a Newt Gingrich,
	which is a whole nother avenue of this same old politician putting them back into government I'm afraid that oh maybe lost if Obama gets a second term.
	Well I would tell you if you were happening.
	No if you were just just to look seriously down the line a bit here, Lisa, I would say that if America does not correct course, that's to say assuming that Obama were to be reelected to a second term and he were to uh carry on as he's done before and then uh twenty sixteen who knows, it'll really be too late by twenty sixteen.
	I think you would be setting in place secession movements in large parts of the United States.
	Because there's absolutely no reason why my relatively sane state of New Hampshire should pick up the tab uh for the profligate states like uh California and New York and Illinois and Wisconsin and whatever uh and whatever.
	So we're going to be setting in motion uh the crack up of the United States.
	Uh no centralized large society survives once its animating principle has gone.
	And if the American idea is dead, then there is no reason for these fifty states to stick together.
	There will be a lot fewer fla uh stars in the flag.
	Uh so don't start worrying, uh Lisa, about having to head to New Zealand or Bermuda or wherever, some other well run little island on the other side of the world.
	Stand here, take your stand here, you can win here.
	Yes, America's anchor man is away.
	He will return for another week of excellence in broadcasting, starting live at twelve noon eastern, nine a.m.
	Pacific, uh, this Monday.
	Rush will return on Monday.
	I think he said he was taking time uh to reflect on certain developments, including Ben Bernanke's first uh press conference.
	The fact I think the first press conference that anybody has ever held at the Federal Reserve.
	I'm not sure this is a good idea.
	The mystique of the Federal Reserve uh depends on uh on on you never actually getting a glimpse of who they are and what they do, and if they just become another uh body that uh just holds press conferences and learns to uh use slick sound bites, I don't think that's gonna help them in the present situation.
	The Federal Reserve is a very troubled institution at the moment.
	It's uh it's so called quantitative easing, uh, which is basically a fascinating system by which the left hand of the United States government buys the debt issued by the right hand of the United States government.
	And if you're thinking, oh, hang on, that can't work surely.
	Well, you might just have a point there.
	The quantitative easing uh hasn't worked, hasn't had any impact uh uh hasn't done any good of the kind it was meant to do, and I think it's due to expire on June the thirtieth.
	And the world's markets have absolutely no idea what is going to come next on July the first, or even if there is is a uh a next, even if there is a next.
	Uh so the so th the role of the Federal Reserve and the policy of the United States as fewer and fewer people around the planet want to buy treasury debt.
	Uh the policy of the United States uh states in issuing more and more American debt to be bought by the uh the government of the United States.
	Uh in other words, the right hand of the United States government selling debt to the left hand of the United States government, that is as crazy as it sounds, and it isn't getting us anywhere.
	So at this stage in the in the game, uh Ben Bernanke holding press conferences uh isn't gonna help anything.
	Hey, let's go to Mel in Bayville, New York.
	Mel, you're live on Open Line Friday.
	Great to have you with us.
	Yeah, how are you doing, Walkstein?
	Really nice to talk to you.
	I enjoy uh watching you on TV and listening to you on the radio.
	Hey, that's uh that's great.
	Where's Bayville, Mel, by the way, in the in the great state of New York?
	The North Shore, right on uh Long Island Sound, uh directly across from Hartford, Connecticut.
	Oh, right, okay.
	So uh you're on you're on the North Shore of uh Long Island there.
	Great uh great to have you uh with us.
	What's uh what's on your mind?
	Okay, um I I heard something that Senator uh Lindsay Graham had said uh oh about two weeks ago, and it it kind of like made my ears perk up by because I wasn't aware of the fact uh that he was talking about.
	I think uh what it goes to what he said was uh one of the reasons why Obama wants to keep Guantanamo closed.
	And what Lindsay Graham said was this, and I wasn't aware of it.
	He said that if um if the a terrorist is convicted at Guantanamo by a military tribunal and given the death penalty, then the president of the United States has to approve that death penalty.
	I think Obama never wants to be in the position of having to approve the death penalty for a Muslim or refusing to approve it and having to explain why.
	Well, you that's an that's an interesting theory.
	Uh th what What goes against that is that uh at present the United States military is killing more and more Muslims, including innocent Muslim villages in the uh Afghan Pakistani borderlands by unmanned drones uh virtually every night of the week.
	Uh and Obama doesn't seem to have any problem with that, uh Mel.
	I mean, he's vastly increased the number of unmanned drones who are who are who are killing uh Afghan and Pakistani uh Muslims in that part of the world since he took office.
	I agree.
	I agree with you, but I think is that it's so much more personal when he has to put his stamp of approval on killing one Muslim right then and there.
	Well, but l let's look at it this way.
	What what that shows is that he's not unwilling to kill Muslims.
	He's certainly happy to kill large numbers of people uh every night of the week over in uh in the Pakistani tribal lands.
	So th the trick then for him would be can he execute someone from Gitmo without anybody making a big fuss about it.
	And the interesting thing about that is if he did sign one of these death warrants uh for one of these guys uh at Guantanamo, do you think uh that the press would hold him uh to account for it?
	Do you do you think that Code Pink, do you think that all the people that Cindy Sheehan, all the people you heard from incessantly uh in the last years of the Bush administration, do you think they're gonna get any FaceTime on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN uh to make their point on that?
	No, but thank God Fox has a big uh following and Fox will talk about it.
	And that kind of segues into something else.
	Could I mention something else, Mark?
	Yeah, go ahead.
	Okay, AOL has recently taken a sinister turn to the left since it merged with the Huffington Post.
	Right.
	You're probably to that the comments that you see on the different articles had both sides of the political spectrum, but now the comments are like ninety-five percent liberal, and it that worries me because it comes at a time when the mainstream media is finally beginning to lose some readership and AOL, I think will capture some of those former readers that the mainstream media is losing.
	I think AOL could be a very big threat to uh the uh whoever's running against Obama in 2012.
	Well, you know, you have to th that's that's a good point, Mel, and there are no uh nothing stand still.
	And people who say, oh, the great thing about the internet and everything is that is that it's opened up uh all these uh alternative voices for uh for for uh for different views.
	That's fine.
	But it isn't gonna be like that that forever.
	And people people know this uh around the world that if you look at how YouTube reacts uh to when Muslim groups, for example, demand certain things be taken down.
	Uh if you look at Google's search engine priorities, it's not difficult to see uh that that simply the fact of this new media means you're suddenly on an uh on an even playing field.
	Uh it requires uh eternal vigilance.
	You mentioned that the uh Huffington Post uh are now part of A.O. L. That was founded by uh Ariana Huffington.
	The the left took a long time uh to get into the internet and into the the the whole blogger sphere thing.
	For for the first few years it was the province of the right, because the right were motivated, because the left had uh national public radio and the left had the uh big TV networks, and the left had the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post.
	So what did they need these crazy blogs for?
	And then when they saw that the blogs were influential, then you got your Daily Costs moving in and your Huffington Post moving in, and you got a left wing and you got a left wing blogger sphere.
	Nothing stands still.
	Nothing stands still.
	And uh the the difference now, though, is that there's at least there's a fight about it.
	At least uh if you go back to uh uh a ton of stuff that happened in the nineties when there was just rush.
	Uh in those days there was rush and there were one or two other talk shows, there were the internet hadn't really taken off.
	Fox News uh had only just begun.
	There was just rush.
	And the and the old school guys believed they could still control the narrative.
	And they thought they could still control the narrative.
	Uh as late as 2004, Dan Rather telling us that uh he didn't care that that particular typeface didn't exist at the time he claimed those uh those uh George W. Bush uh National Guard memos dated from.
	Uh Dan Rather thought he could still control the narrative as late as two thousand and four.
	And that's what it's all about.
	And that's what it is with uh with uh with Obama.
	You should always ask yourself when uh why it is uh that the the media are determining their priorities uh the way they do.
	Uh when they decided they weren't going to tell you anything about Obama they were as I said yesterday they were going to act as the uh the court eunuchs, the palace guard protecting Obama and they sent everyone instead to Wazilla, Alaska because they knew the moment she made that electrifying speech that the that they were going to uh get that that she was a threat to them and they needed to take her down uh immediately.
	And they did they they succeeded brutally uh in in diminishing the impact of Sarah Palin and defining Sarah Palin uh for all those mushy centrist independent swing voters that Russia's always rightfully mocking uh because they don't pay an attention to everything.
	Uh and and so uh they uh they tend to take their cues from that overall narrative.
	Now uh Barack Obama has beggared those independents he's wiped out their 401ks and all the rest of it they're hurting.
	They're beginning to understand that they can't afford the virtue the little frisson of virtue that comes from voting for Barack Obama and feeling good about yourself because you voted for all the Hopi changey stuff because they realize that the Hopi change is actually uh impoverished them, impoverishing them, combat condemning them uh to a broke old age.
	Uh they figure that out the mushy centrist squishy independents who drive you nuts when it's two days before the election and there's a focus group of of them on CNN and Anderson Cooper's interviewing them and the and the woman says well I don't really feel he ever addressed my concerns.
	So what?
	It's a national election for three hundred million people figure out what the concerns facing the nation are and then figure out where you stand on that instead of uh instead of the poor guy having to construct a policy for for f for you gladish squaggins of 27 C. Elm Street uh it's pathetic to watch that.
	But that's the way those squishy centrist independent com si com sir uh I like to swing both ways uh centrist moderate independent people vote.
	And right now they're hurting in their pocketbook and they realize the hopey changey thing is a crook.
	Uh come November next year who's to say the media won't have done their usual job establishing a narrative that makes the uh Republican guy look like the crazy guy and the thing for sensible centrist moderate prudent people to do is to vote for the guy who's driving the United States off Amer of America off a cliff.
	That's a given that's a given it doesn't matter whether it's the New York Times, ABC or now AOL.
	You just have to resist that and you have to open up more and more of these uh new forums uh to and and make sure that the narrative is not being set by those closed groups.
	1-800-282-2882.
	Hey Mark Stein in Farush 1 800 28282 open line Friday whatever you want to talk about.
	Let's go to Patrick in uh San Jose.
	Patrick you're live on the Rush Limbaugh show.
	Hello Mark uh regarding Obama's eligibility as a natural born citizen in 2008 the Senate passed a resolution stating that John McCain was eligible to be President of the United States because he was a natural born citizen.
	In their statements they referenced a legal analysis that was supplied by none other than Lawrence Tribe and Theodore Olsen who was a former Solicitor General under Bush.
	Right.
	In their legal analysis they referenced an act by the first Congress which is dated March twenty sixth, seventeen ninety, where the first Congress defines what is a natural born citizen that appears in chapter three of that act and that act reads and the children of such persons so naturalized this is of uh people who have been naturalized citizens dwelling the United States being
	under the age of twenty one years of time naturalization shall also be considered as citizens of the United States.
	It continues here's the key point and the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond the sea or out of the limits of the United States shall be considered as natural born citizens, provided that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States.
	There is the historical definition enacted by the first Congress stating what is a natural born citizen.
	Now the distinction between Article 2, Section One, which outlines the eligibility for the president, and one of those requirements is natural born citizen.
	For senator and congressman, they only need to be citizens.
	Right, no, no, definitely.
	Just just a minute, Patrick.
	So what's what's the objection then to Obama?
	Because he wasn't born overseas.
	He he according to this birth certificate now, he was born in this hospital in Hawaii.
	Why then is he not a natural-born citizen?
	Because he was not born to parents who were citizens.
	Everywhere in the Act of 1790, everywhere in the legal opinion by Lawrence Tribe and Theodore Olsen, everywhere in the Senate resolution, it always says, born of parents who were U.S. citizens.
	The issue of whether or not one could be a natural born citizen if they're derived of only one U.S. citizen is never specifically addressed, which is why it should be adjudicated.
	Well, what do you make of what do you make of this?
	United States versus Wong Kim Ark, uh eighteen ninety-eight Supreme Court decision.
	Right.
	Uh that that says that the uh definition of natural born uh comes from the law of England for the previous three centuries and then applying in the American colonies at the time of independence.
	Uh and and indeed uh still applying within her majesty's realms to this day, that natural born uh was a a phrase meaning that every uh child born in England or anywhere else of his Majesty's realms to alien parents was a natural born subject of the king unless uh he happened to be the child of uh uh an ambassador or some other diplomat.
	Yes, uh that's a citation from eighteen ninety-eight.
	Right and uh that does leverage British common law, as you're referring to, and that's referring to British subjects, which subject was then uh replaced with citizen, right?
	So uh that is a question, and that is exactly part and parcel of why it should be adjudicated, especially when someone like Alan Keyes, who was on the ballot in California for president, certainly has standing if no one else does.
	But do you do do just just uh just just stop here for a minute.
	If you look at the Supreme Court's uh rulings on this in the nineteenth century, when it did come up a couple of times, and you look at where we are now, what are the chances of getting five Supreme Court justices to accept the definition you've given of natural born citizen, which is to say that a man can be born to an American mother in an American state, uh, but because his father was a British subject born in Kenya, he's not a natural born citizen.
	Well, uh I I hate to give a percentage chance on what uh the chances are of the chief of the justices actually following the Constitution.
	They don't do it all the time.
	They subvert the Constitution all the time, right?
	So uh th it should be addressed not only by the SCOTUS, the Supreme Court, there should be congressional hearings on the matter, and if if it is determined by the representatives, not the leaders, the representatives of the citizens of the United States that he doesn't meet the criteria, then he should be impeached.
	I mean, this is so clear, it's unbelievable that we can't do it.
	But it's it but it isn't clear because your the definition you've given, the definition you've given, uh is not the definition from that Supreme Court decision uh in the one K Mark uh case in eighteen ninety-eight.
	It is not the definition of natural born as it was understood at the time of American independence, 1776.
	Now you were talking there about uh seventeen ninety, the first Congress.
	Uh they attached great significance to fourteen years uh residency in the uh in the United States.
	We gotta go, we gotta take an EIB Profit Center, we'll be back in a moment.
	Open Line Friday, 1-800-282-2882, Mark Stein Infrarush.
	We will explore a little more of that natural-born stuff.
	You need an unnatural-born, undocumented guy like me to get uh into it, and we will do that.
