SEAN HANNITY, HOST: Tonight is part two of my interview with potential 2012 presidential candidate Donald Trump who has been making headlines for the controversial rebukes that he has issued President Obama.

And that's where we begin tonight. Let's take a look.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: A lot has been made over the birth certificate issue. And you apparently, you have said in the previous interviews that you have a team of investigators in Hawaii now looking into it.

DONALD TRUMP, BUSINESSMAN: Correct.

HANNITY: It has a lot of press. Everyone is asking you about it.

TRUMP: Right.

HANNITY: And what have you come up with your investigators?

TRUMP: Well, I don't want to say that now. But it is going to be very interesting. But I don't want to say it now, Sean. But I will say this, I don't love this issue. I'd much rather be talking about how China is ripping us off, how OPEC is -- that's what I'm really good at. I understand it. I can do such a great job.

But, this issue came up about six weeks ago. And I've heard about it for years. But I never thought too much about it. And I assumed he was born in this country. But six weeks ago, I started really looking into it. He's got a certificate of live birth. That's by the way, despite what certain liberal press says, that's not a birth certificate. It is a big, big step lower. In fact, in some places, you can get married or get a driver's license with a certificate of live birth, OK? So, I say to myself, why.

HANNITY: Only has a stamp, no signature.

TRUMP: It's got a stamp. It's got a stamp. No, it's got a stamped signature. By the way, I have my birth certificate. I think I'll show it. I think I'm going to bring it down to Boca Raton this weekend. But I have my, it's got stamps, it's got three different signatures, it's got everything, everything is official. You have to see this thing. It's like a certificate of live birth is not appropriate.

Now, I say to myself, why? A few -- just simple questions, why doesn't he show his birth certificate, number one. You know, they say it is sealed. Well, but for the person, you could release it. And if it's the person, you could -- sure, it's sealed, it should be sealed, that's great.

But the person, you know, I actually sent to New York for my birth certificate. And they actually got on the phone, they said Mr. Trump, I'm sorry to do this sir, you have to give me your Social Security number. You have to prove, it's really you I'm talking to. I went through a whole big thing. OK, but when they figured out it was actually me, they sent it to me. I had to pay $38, and they sent me my birth certificate. They could do the same thing to him, and I say, why did he spent millions of dollars on trying to stay away from this issue? Why doesn't he give his birth certificate?

HANNITY: The one thing on his side is that they have these announcements in the newspaper, eight days after.

TRUMP: Eight days later.

HANNITY: Yes.

TRUMP: It was eight days. Look, he's got a grandmother in Kenya who said he was born in Kenya at the hospital. Then there was bedlam in the room, bedlam. I don't mean like a little, you know, because he was close to becoming president. And there were a lot of people in that room, and he was being, she was talking to a reporter with a lot of handlers. A lot of Obama handlers. So, they had the grandmother, she said Kenya. Then all of a sudden, 51 seconds later, he asked the question again. And you hear people scream, no, no Hawaii, Hawaii! OK? Give me a break. Now, the other one was eight or nine days later from the reported birth date. But you don't know if it was even the reported. But they could have easily come from Kenya or someplace.

HANNITY: The issue would go away in a minute. Just show the certificate.

TRUMP: I don't understand. Why he doesn't show? Why did he spend millions of dollars on trying to stay away from the issue? Now, it
