I’m temporarily without audio. Anyone volunteer to give us a capsule summary of what CNBC and Trump had to say?

The talk again is starting to get louder as we get closer to Sheriff Arpaio’s upcoming press conference.

Some of what Donald Trump said in today’s CNBC 4 minute interview:

Trump -

His mother was never in the hospital; they don’t even know which hospital it was; his grandmother said he was born in Kenya. Now look, it all wouldn’t matter except if you’re born in another country. ... You’re not allowed to be president if you are born in another country.

The publisher comes out last week and makes this statement, we made a mistake. I don’t think life works that way. ... There are some major questions here. The press just refuses to cover it; they don’t want to cover it. If that was somebody else, they would be covering it and they would be throwing people out of office. ...They [the press]get angry if you even suggest any of these things.

This is crazy and not standing up for Trump, as it seems, it has been Obama out there telling 2 different episodes of where he was born, than now it is on him to clarify/verify the truth. And that’s the only place where the media should inquire an answer they can report.

Trumping 0b0z0 Ping.............

The MSM IS public enemy #1. Without the Communist MSM, there wouldn't be a usurper! I have no doubt that their day of reckoning is coming sooner than they expect.

Read #6.

Thank you, Red Steel.

I’m not coming to any conclusions about this yet, until I see how it works out.

Trump SEEMS to be damaging Obama. But the last time around, I was suspicious, and sure enough, Obama used it as an excuse to post another fake online COLB and then distracted attention with bin Ladin. It worked, and the end result was that the birther issue was off the table.

Trump has donated almost entirely to Democrats in the past, or to a few RINOs. And it wasn’t that long ago that he declared that he was a Democrat again.

I don’t know what he’s up to, but I’m reserving judgment on this. Also, once again, the left wing media are lending him air time. That suggests that Obama MIGHT be orchestrating something again.

I’m a birther myself. I just don’t really trust Trump. Maybe this is planned to undermine some sort of Arpaio release that they’re afraid of, altnough so far they’ve pretty much been able to get the media to ignore Arpaio or mock him.

I think Trump is riding the coattails of Arpaio's investigation and upcoming press conference scheduled for June.

My theory is that Trump selected Arsenio Hall as 'Celebrity Apprentice' to appease the black community prior to relentlessly laying into 0bama and his eligibility status. I know I'll get bashed for saying this and we all know Trump is an opportunist, but our private sector DOES need someone at the top who can re-energize it and Trump would do just that. HE COMMANDS RESPECT and promotes American exceptionalism. I think just his mere presence as VP would see a huge wave of entrepreneurship, upstarts, hiring, and a return to manufacturing; The rebirth of America's private sector and return to economic greatness.

That's not such an impossibility, is it?

I want Paul Ryan as VP but hell, I'll take Trump too.

Has anyone noticed if BO’s facial tic has returned? When the transcript is available please ping me. Dad reads better than he hears.

“I think Trump is riding the coattails of Arpaio’s investigation and upcoming press conference scheduled for June.”

Possibly. But I’ve been hoping that maybe Trump is supplying the private jet to get the Cold Case Posse back safely from Hawaii and perhaps helping to fund this project — someone is paying for it.

As far as I know, he declared he was a Republican last year and hasn't reneged on that. Apparently, he was supporting Romney pretty much throughout the GOP primary season, and with Romney's nomination will stay a Republican and support Romney at least through the November election.

Obama’s whining has also moved up a tick while on the campaign trail. Keep observing him HM. :-)

White House Obama watchers report that the tic has indeed returned. Just kidding! For some reason your question made me think of those Kremlin Watchers the media used to employ, to scrutinize all public appearances of Bresnev and the rest for clues - or maybe it was the CIA doing it. It was pretty cool - but I wouldn’t want to be the one that had to watch PBO all day and all night. Wouldn’t want to have to watch that serpent for nuthin.

The guess here is that the CNBC guy who interviewed Trump is not going to last very long there. What Trump said had already been all over the Internet over the weekend as his current take on the “birther” issue, so he shouldn't have “ambushed” the lefties at CNBC with these comments. Yet the interviewer seemed stunned at what Trump was saying.

CNBC has a fair number of conservatives including Kernan, Santelli, and Caruso-Cabrera

Trump knows which party can be bought. He'll spend money for its return....even if it means buying a few politicians. Look at a list of who got the contributions....Probably not a list that would be honorable to be on.

BUT there is no doubt in my mind that Trump loves America and her system....
