Quoting from the transcript
The Court: And you understand that one of the Federal Rules of Evidence is that for a court to consider a document as documentary evidence in a court of law -- I'm not talking about at a press conference or on a TV show or in a Fox and Friends. I'm talking about, in a court of law, the judge has to determine whether there's been sufficient foundation laid as to authenticity to consider a document that's admitted into evidence. Tell me what it is that you've done to establish the evidentiary foundation for this Kenyan document. My understanding of what you have done is, you have got an individual who went and got this piece of paper, who says he got it from this office in Kenya, and he says they gave it to him as this birth certificate. There's no official --
Taitz: Your Honor --
The Court: -- in Kenya that signed any authenticity certificate.
"Tell me what it is that you've done to establish the evidentiary foundation for this Kenyan document. My understanding of what you have done is, you have got an individual who went and got this piece of paper, who says he got it from this office in Kenya, and he says they gave it to him as this birth certificate. There's no official in Kenya that signed any authenticity certificate."
In an affidavit to Judge Carter, Smith swore that Taitz never assisted Smith in authenticating his document despite his repeated requests that she help him to legally authenticate it. If true, this speaks well of Lucas Smith and not well of Taitz.
This transcript quote appears to be from Taitz' attempt at the first hearing (Sept?) to obtain "emergency" testimony from Smith about the BC based an an alleged threat on Smith's life after a car almost hit him. Judge Carter didn't buy it. The judge appears to be on the way to informing Taitz that under the FRE, a foreign document must be authenticated by a foreign official from the country. Taitz appears not to have been aware of this.
