Good evening. Just past 9 00 p. M. Here in new york. Donald trump is now raising doubts about his canadianborn rival ted cruz, canadianborn to an american citizen, which puts him in good company, john mccain and mitt romneys dad, george romney, born in mexico. Trump said, republicans have to ask themselves a question, do we want a candidate who could be tied up in court for two years . Sara murray is in New Hampshire. Is this actual birther talk . What can you tell us . Is he just saying hes kind of raising the question or is he actually suggesting that cruz shouldnt be president because of this . Donald trump has a way of putting the attack out there without actually taking credit for them. So he likes to make it out like hes raising the question but i think the reality, anderson, is that this jab reflected a different race, a different sort of tenure in the race. He and ted cruz played really nice with each other. They were sort of bffs. There was a bromance going on out there. Now that they are neck in neck in the polls, donald trump wants to put up every firewall he can to ensure that he can win in these early nominating states. We saw him putting money behind ads up in the airwaves and thats what were seeing now as he raises these questions about ted cruz. And trump spoke out tonight about president obamas tearful News Conference today and his new executive actions on gun control. I want to play that. They are not going to take your guns away, folks. They are not going to do it. They are trying. They are talking about the bullets, they are talking about and then as you see, president obama is on television. Who can blame you . No. No. Honestly, after what weve gone through for years, who could blame you for that . Who can blame you . And just before the event, he was actually given a firearm, right . Reporter thats right. So its been an interesting day on the campaign trail with donald trump and all of the latest gun news. We actually spoke to the owners of a local gun store here in claremont, New Hampshire, earlier today who hatched this plan about a week and a half ago that they wanted to give donald trump an ar15 rifle as a thank you for coming to town and to show their support. So they were backstage before this event, they arranged everything and actually gave that to donald trump as a gift. Its unclear exactly how thats going to work for trump. He lives in manhattan, as we know, and new york has very strict gun laws. We were talking to the gun owners and they said people like to use these for hunting coyotes and well see how he deals with the special gift. Anderson . Donald trump sat down with our old friend Paul Steinhauser. Hes political director at New Hampshire one news, a pretty good gig these days. Heres a portion of tonights interview. Mr. Trump . Yes. I want to ask you about ted cruz and your comments that because of his birthright or birthplace it may be precarious for the republicans to have a nominee like that. Are you questioning his citizenship . No, not at all. I know its being questioned all over. I know the Washington Post asked me that question today and all i know is that a lot of people are talking about it. I hope its not so. I hope it doesnt come about. But people are worried it was in canada and actually had a canadian passport within the last couple of years. So i dont know what it all means. I know that people are talking about it. The problem is, if the democrats bring a lawsuit, the lawsuit could take years to resolve and how do you have a candidate where theres something over the head of the party and that individual . So i hope it wouldnt be the truth. I hope that wouldnt be what it is and well find out, i guess. Ted will be able to answer the question hopefully satisfactory. I hear a couple of states have a problem with it, too. You put out a tweet suggesting that you jump the shark. This was a question given to me. I really know nothing about it and i hope its i hope this would not be a reason for disqualification. So hopefully hell have the answers. You got a big endorsement today. A very influential conservative today. Yes. He said while he likes ted cruz, he would endorse cruz before you, youre here all the time, campaigning in New Hampshire. Ted cruz really sbt. Do you think ted cruz is short changing New Hampshire . I think he has all of his onions in the basket of iowa and thats fine but he hasnt been here very much. I dont think he intends to be very much. Im here all the time. Ive spent a lot of time in iowa, too. Im doing very well in iowa and were doing really, really well here. Were happy with it. I guess he hasnt been here but andrew is a fantastic guy and were very honored. He left teds campaign to come with us. Ive got to ask you what happened last night in lowell. For a week you were talking about bill clintons past infidelities but there was no mention of it last night. I wanted to give it a break. I brought it up. I think it is something that had to be said. They were saying lots of things about other people, including myself in terms of sexists and i will say theres nobody that has more respect for women than i do. Nobody. And nobodys going to do more for women than i do and that includes Hillary Clinton and im going to do something for everybody. Im going to make our country great but im going to make our country safe and nobodys going to be able to do that like i will do it and Hillary Clinton wouldnt know where to start. She actually gave us isis with her very dumb policies. So i brought it up. They certainly havent said anything. It was mentioned nine times during their debate and now they are not mentioning. So perhaps what i did served good purpose. Paul steinhauser joins us now along with correspondent john king. Trump was asked or apparently asked about ted cruzs citizenship by the Washington Post. Didnt necessarily bring it up himself. Its hard to know that he didnt know exactly what he was doing when he responded. Interestingly he said i dont know anything about it but im hearing people talk. We could stop talking and replay what he told paul there over and over again that. Is trademark trump. Yes, he was asked about it by the Washington Post but he answered it. He could have said, forget about that. Ive had my lawyers look into it months ago. Theres nothing to it. Lets not talk about that because teds qualified. Id rather debate ted on the issues. Thats not what he said to the Washington Post and maybe he could have said, i should have said that to the Washington Post and Paul Steinhauser i dont want to go there. Of course ted cruz is qualified but he didnt. What did he say . Im not bringing this up. But people are asking me about it. You know, he was born in canada. He had a canadian passport. They might sue about it. This is trademark trump. Cruz went after trump today, too. They have had mostly a truce throughout the campaign. Cruz was asked a question in iowa about immigration. He said donald trump will let those once donald trump says anyone who came in illegally has to leave and then donald trump wont let them come back, i wont let them come back. The gloves are off because the clock is ticking. To track the sentences, it was pretty amazing. He wasnt questioning cruzs citizenship but you know he was born in canada. You know, the people have been asking about it. He thinks it could be problematic but he doesnt know anything about it. Youve covered a lot of trump rallies. Has he been getting these questions a lot from the voters or from the press . Much more from the media than from the audience. They are asking about a lot of issues that are important to them. Were asking more about the horse race and while trump has a pretty big league here in New Hampshire over ted cruz, its not the case in iowa. To johns point, i can see why he wants to bring this up now and feels heat from ted cruz, especially in iowa. Here at this rally, he was firing war on Hillary Clinton than ted cruz and it seems like hes trying to get into election mode, im ready to take on Hillary Clinton. Hes trying to focus more now on Hillary Clinton at least when it comes to the rallies that hes hoeding. Trailing cruz in iowa, do you think that the Trump Campaign is doubling down on New Hampshire and raising this about cruz is part of that . Well, thats a fascinating question because all of the candidates, even those at the top have to make Strategic Decisions over the next couple of days. The clock is ticking so fast. You have whether its jeb bush, Chris Christie, marco rubio on the establishment side, who can get a strong second or more likely because trump is still strong out there, who can be the third candidate to come out of iowa . Most of the establishment guys will dip their toes in iowa and spend all of their time in New Hampshire over the next 20 to 30 days. Trumps brand is winning. He says, im a winner. They are losers. Im the toughest. Im the best. Can his brand take losing . Thats why look, remember, a couple weeks ago he started to go after ted cruz. He said not a lot of evangelicals come out of cuba and questioned his faith a little bit. But the Rush Limbaugh conservative blog goes fear said dont go there. We like ted cruz. We like you, too. But ted cruz is still growing in iowa. Everyone will tell you cruz has momentum there now and its a clear sign that trump knows he is at risk of losing somewhere in the first state that votes and so hes getting tougher. Paul, do you anticipate further kind of squirmishes between these two, particularly coming from trump . John raises really good point. Rush limbaugh and mark leff reporter trump has no problem speaking his mind or attacking other republicans for the nomination and now that hes picking up the pace with cruz, yeah, i think well see it continue because cruz is very strong. Hes a threat to trump in iowa. Not the case here in New Hampshire. But with five weeks to go, that could change. Cruz is coming back to New Hampshire next week. As for trump, his ads are running in New Hampshire. He says hes going to spend up a Million Dollars in New Hampshire. Hes got a sizeable lead in the polls but not taking anything for granted with five weeks to go until our primary here in New Hampshire. Paul steinhauser, thanks for being here. John king as well.

As you saw at the top, donald trump has a warning, president obama is trying to take your guns away. Two days before the ton hall on the subject, the president talked about tightening the loophole of background checks at gun shows. Heres a clip of the emotional event. All right. Its a peaceful assembly. That right was robbed from moviegoers in aurora and lafayette, our right to liberty and pursuit of happiness, those rights were stripped from college kids in blacksburg and Santa Barbara and from High Schoolers and columbine. And from first graders in newtown. First graders. And from every family who never imagined that their loved one would be taken from our lives by a bullet from a gun. Amen. And by the way, it happens on the streets of chicago every day. Just to underscore, president obama did not call for taking any guns away from lawabide citizens. This is an assault on the Second Amendment. You know, obamas going to do an executive order and knock the hell out of it. Reporter whdo you fear that president obama is coming from your guns . I do believe thats his main objective, yes. Reporter do you feel the president is coming to take away your guns . Yes. Reporter you dont believe it when the president says hes not coming to take away your guns . I dont believe it one bit. Reporter we caught up with these Trump Supporters, many of them gun supporters at this rally in New Hampshire, just hours after the president laid out his new requirements for gun buyers and suppliers. Whats the problem with greater background checks . Reporter i think you just made the case, if you think about it, if they are already covered, why make another regulation to say whats already being said . Bad guys are going to get control of guns because they are going to do things that are illegal. All this is doing is punishing good people for what bad people do. Reporter and despite the president saying this could calm fears this is not a plot to take away everybodys guns. Reporter many we spoke with here are considering buying up guns before the laws get any tougher, like this woman. I think if he tries to take away our guns, hes basically breaking the law. Its our Second Amendment right and we have every right to protect ourselves. Reporter and while we found a few in the crowd that dont mind the tougher background checks, they still dont believe it would make any difference. What would really make america safe is to take the guns away from the criminals. Not the lawabiding criminals. Im a good guy with a gun. Not a bad guy with a gun. Reporter wouldnt the extra background do that . 30,000 people a year die from gun violence, so whats the answer . Well, i dont believe making more laws to make it harder to get guns is going to do anything to that. Like i said, the criminals out there that want guns are going to get them one way or another. Reporter Trump Supporters are confident if he make it is to the oval office, one strike with a pen and mr. Obamas gun regulations are history. Trump is right in identifying that we need to address the problems of people who are making bad decisions and understand that guns are just a tool and as americans we should have rights to all the tools we want, including guns. Randi kaye is joining us from trumps rally. Was there anything in there about the president s plan that anyone actually liked . Reporter there were a couple things, anderson. We spoke to some people as they were waiting in line and they told me that they like the idea that the president put forward about being able to lock a gun remotely if it got into the wrong hands if it was stolen. They also talked about some sort of app where he could lock a gun again remotely if it got into a childs hand. The president said today a child cant open a bottle of aspirin. Why should they be able to fire a gun . They dont think its costly and they dont want that price tacked on to the price of a weapon. They liked the idea of expanded background checks but think the criminals will be able to get around them. There wasnt a lot of love for obamas regulations and not a lot of confidence that they are going to be able to prevent the next mass shooting. Anderson . Randi kaye, thank you. Gun sales are surging. What will the expanded background check that president obama announced mean for guns sold on the internet . Well look at that, ahead. Cines may raise your blood pressure. Ahead. Ahead. Ahead.
