Cruz already gave a speech about it—came up on my facebook newsfeed.

But the bottomline was Donald can easily make this go away...just ask the Times to release the story. Supposedly it was off the record so they won’t release it unless Trump okays it. Trump should okay it and show he has nothing to hide. If he doesn’t ok it then he’s lying.

Can you find a link? I am weak on GoogleFu.

All I've found is this from Mediate/Fox, which is apparently the same tape in a different spot:

NY Times Produces Audio of Trump Endorsing Tariff He Swears He Never Endorsed

One of the more bizarre moments during Thursday’s Fox Business Republican debate was when moderator Neil Cavuto asked Donald Trump about a quote he had given The New York Times, only for Trump to deny he had ever said it.

“Last week, The New York Times editorial board quoted you as saying that you would impose ‘up to 45 percent tariff on Chinese goods…'” Cavuto began.

“That’s wrong,” Trump cut in. “They were wrong. It’s The New York Times, they are always wrong.”

“What I said to The New York Times, is that we have great power, economic power over China and if we wanted to use that and the amount — where the 45 percent comes in, that would be the amount they saw their devaluations that we should get. That we should get,” Trump told a very confused Cavuto.

But in response The New York Times released the audio of their editorial meeting with the candidate, in which Trump certainly does endorse a 45 percent tariff on Chinese goods.

Correct, which is the entire point of my post.
