and don t have an immigration problem. but because it affects the image of our community. it hurts our soul. so that will definiely affect their vote. in a way, i think we re adding to democracy so we can have a very healthy debate with two different sides, with two different realities. the reality of the immigrants you don t see in english language media, you see on univision. i wish more people could have a translation device in their television to see our coverage. that s a very good point. i wonder if at some point the coverage shifts into advocacy. there a line univision you think has ever crossed into advocacy? you can call it that. advocacy journalism can be considered whenever you give more importance that one topic than another. but we re certainly not telling people who to vote for. we have campaigns constantly asking voters or immigrants first to become citizens then to register to vote and then to
thanks so much. let s turn to one of the reporters covering trump. there is one angle being overlooked. the miss usa pageant. it was the first casualty of his campaign. the pageant crowns a new winner tonight, but you won t see it on nbc or univision because both networks dumped the broadcast after trump s comments about immigrants last month. it will air on reelz. it s hard to find on the dial. athena jones is in baton rouge, louisiana, where we thought trump would be. but there has been a last-minute change in schedule? that s right. trump tweeted last night he won t be coming. i believe we have it. he said i will not be able to attend the miss usa pageant tomorrow night. i am campaigning in phoenix. wishing all well. we ve reached out to the truch campaign about what events he has scheduled in phoenix or elsewhere in arizona or the west and haven t heard back about
again. that is his message. we ve heard the message. you say spineless. are you talking about nbc, univision, macy s? i m talking about them and all the others. you hear that. these are major corporations that have distanced themselves from trump. it must be hurting the bottom line at this point. i don t think mr. trump is worried about the bottom line. what he s worried about, again, is his message, which is to make america great again. he is worried about the veterans. he s worried about national security. he is worried about social security medicare/medicaid. he s worried about many different things. one thing he is not worried about is the small dollars that are coming in as a result of these relationships. let me play a sound bite from you from earlier this morning on state of the union on cnn. i think he s uninformed about the situation regarding the illegal immigrant population. i think he has high-jacked the debate. i think he is a wrecking ball
to a specific party. that just has never happened. it s precisely because of the language barrier that i think people are curious about univision and spanish language media. i appreciate you talking to us about it. thank you. it s my pleasure, brian. by the way, the business context here is that univision is a privately held company about to sell its own stock for the first time. it will be worth so many billions of dollars, and it s all crucial about being the voice of hispanics. it has to be perceived as the voice of hispanics to reach all the viewers and keep them watching univision. coming up on reliable sources, atticus finch, a racist. to kill a mockingbird s follow-up is coming up. did harper lee want her new book published? in a moment we re hear from a film maker who asked lee.
we come from the same region. we have the same blood. we have the same ancestors and some had a better opportunity to cross the border than others. so for hispanic voters many of which have parents, grandparents that maybe arrived illegally. maybe they themselves were here illegally at one point or they have friends or family members that are now here in this country without documents, this is a personal attack. so you cannot separate them. you can t have it both ways. i know that trump has done interviews with univision and other spanish language media. if you could ask him anything, what would you be asking him right about now? you know to be honest with you, i don t know that i want to interview donald trump because it would be a very predictable interview. the interviews that i have seen with him, some of the answers just don t make any sense. so what can you ask him? even if you tell him the truth and give him facts, i don t expect that he is going to
