we are in hawaii. will hawaii is not really a state and things like that. and it has been since i can remember, back in 1959. i guess you've heard a lot. i think though shows, think it was right after this crowd of people, what do you think of the united states united states abÉe altgeld back, you are in it. [laughter] but i mean i think some of that dislocation and i think some of that is a byproduct of what happens when you know, one country on a continent, you know, colonizes and islands thousands of miles from it sure. in some ways ear, in some ways it is a cup completely american place to me because it is so militaristic. their military bases and training grounds everywhere. it is exceedingly religious. there is a lot of really crummy commercial architecture which is a bit of the specialty in this country. there are so many things about it. especially, then you have all those hotels and resorts with all the hotels and the resorts and then i'll the military bases you know there is a writer i really like named steve erickson who once wrote that the two

we are in hawaii. well, hawaii is not really a state. things like that. >> uh-huh. >> back in 1959 and i guess you had a lot -- you heard that -- >> well, i watched, i think those shows jack par did in hawaii right after statehood, and he does ask this crowd of people what do you think of the united states, and they all yelled back, you're in it, you know? [laughter] i think some of that location and some of that is just a by-product of what happens when, you know, when a country on a continent colonizes a island thousands of miles away from the shore. in some ways it's completely american, there's military bases everywhere, and it's exceedingly religious. there's a lot of really crummy commercial architecture which is a bit of a specialty in this country. there are so many things about it. i mean, especially, and then you have all the hotels and resorts. with the hotels and resorts and military bases, you know, there's a writer a like who wrote the two great contributions of the american civilization are annihilation and fun.

hawaii had been so americanized already. tavis: how unfair in retrospect was this deal to these persons of color in all of these places? >> how unfair? i do not know. do you want to go bicolor? it was pretty unfair. tavis: we are being serious and funny in different parts of the conversation. we're talking about acquisition and annexation. there are other words we could use that are not so kind about what happened to the people in that summer. i am trying to get to the dark side of what happened in 1898. >> there are so many dark sides in white that it is like the >> cube -- in hawaii that it is like a rubic's cube. the hawaiian people have little resistance to diseases. when the first westerner arrive, there were maybe 1 million hawaiians'. a century later, there were maybe 40,000. they were wiped out so much by disease. a lot of what happened with the white people taking over the land, a lot of that was purely legal. it goes back to the generosity of the hawaiian monarch who privatized the land and made it illegal for fore

his mother when she was pregnant and living in hawaii. there are people who remember seeing him as a baby in the nursery in the hospital right after barack obama was born in hawaii on august 4th, 1961. but because there have always been doubters demanding more and because one of them is famous and loud and named trump, today, president obama offered further proof of his american birth. the long-form birth certificate showing the particulars, and while the president acknowledged it still won't be enough for some, he told the american people today, we don't have time for this kind of silliness, as he put it. white house correspondent savannah guthrie starts us off tonight. good evening. >> reporter: good evening, brian. the president's personal lawyer had to get a special legal exception from hawaii to get the document and then travel physically to hawaii to retrieve it. aides say this is a side show and a fake controversy, but this was kind of creeping into the mainstream. today, the president decided enough was enough. >> yet, this thing

had previously released a short form certificate of birth, the legal document used by the state of hawaii. it did not satisfy critics like donald trump to question whether the president was a natural born citizen and constitutionally qualified to hold office. >> i am really honored to have played such a big role in hopefully, hopefully getting rid of this issue. >>reporter: the administration appealed to the wine government to take exception to policy and released the original birth certificate in order to move beyond what the president called the national distraction. >> were not going to be able to do it if we just make stuff up and pretend that facts are not facts. for not going to solve our problems if we get distracted by sideshows and carnivals. >>reporter: our recent research poll shows a majority of americans 75 percent believe the president was either definitely or probably born in the u.s.. in washington, samantha hayes. >>pam: we have put a copy of president barack obama is for a certificate on our web site, www.kron4.com just click on news links. >>jacqueline: clouds spreading

it turns out he was born in hawaii, of all places. isn't that weird? this is what we've apparently been waiting for. i have to say, some of it seems fishy. can we zoom into the honolulu? that's made up. that's not a place. the president was born barack hussein obama ii. he's a junior. i didn't know that. and his mother, look at his mother's name. her first name is stanley. for real. excuse me, mr. president, but women are not named stanley. not in the america i love, anyway. how did we not know his mother's name was stanley? no wonder she rebelled and had a kenyan baby, it's -- [ laughter ] donald trump today, well, it was a tough day for hair force one. the birth certificate -- this has been the centerpiece of his campaign so far. he even had a team in hawaii investigating, so, when the it was released, we saw a humbler and, dare i say, apologetic the donald. >> today, i'm very proud of myself because i've accomplished something that nobody else has been able to accomplish. i was just informed while on the helicopter that our president has finally rel

distraction, the president released a copy of his long-form birth certificate, showing he was born in hawaii, as he's always said. the short form, which has been out there for a while, had not satisfied some obama critics. but there is nothing in the long-form certificate about the president and his parents that we didn't already know. chief white house correspondent chip reid now on the president's surprise visit to the briefing room. >> reporter: sounding both amused and exasperated, the president said it's time to end the debate over where he was born. >> yes, in fact, i was born in hawaii, august 4, 1961. >> reporter: the white house released a copy of the president's original birth certificate, showing he was born in honolulu, hawaii. it's signed by his mother, stanley ann dunham obama of kansas, who was 18 years old, and identifies his father as barack hussein obama, 25, of kenya, all consistent with what the president has said for years. mr. obama tried to put the issue to rest three years ago when he posted a copy of the short-form version of his birth certificate on his campaign web
