clause that would give univision an out. is that not the case? that is absolutely not the case. there is no morals clause in it t. reality is you know people i think, you know come to mr. trump and want to do business with mr. trump and the companies he s associated with because of his celebrity and because he is known as someone who is in the spotlight, drawn a lot of media attention and talks straight. certainly, i m sure that drew univision to get involved with miss universe. i think it was actually the women we see on screen. all that is certainly true. i think what brings ratings and popularity to the pageant is association with mr. trump. i think certainly since, you know the miss universe organization and the pageant is associated with it were not doing too well before mr. trump brought the interest in there. since then the ratings are hitting all time highs. it s doing better than ever before. so you are now suing univision, what about nbc, they re business partners.
arbitration? there is an arbitration clause. we will obviously be following the contract. i think that represents the difference between how we as an organizationing a and how nbc has acted. we follow the contract. they have not. the unisituation situation is a little different. it must not have had an arbitration clause. there is no arbitration clause. accordingly we filed in supreme court tuesday. what about macy s? they say they will get out of business with trump. any lawsuit there? certainly, we are looking at all possible avenues. again, i think it s important and thfrls highlighted in our unisition complaint. i think what is important to reenforce is when mr. trump made his comments people can agree, disagree they can agree on what he said. they can agree whether it was factually accurate the way it was transmitted. the reality is he is exercising his first amendment right to free speech. he is speaking his mind.
you know what they cut back becauser that weak. weak and it s very sad to see. trump has filed a big lawsuit against univision seeking $500 million in damages. keep in mind univision is the most popular, spanish language network in this country. now it s being sued by a presidential candidate who is rising in the republican polls. i never thought we would be here a week ago. i am joined by a special guest, an insider in this six, the general council for the trump organization which means he is donald trump s top lawyer. thanks for being here. thank you thanks for having me. look on the day he made that comment about immigrants being rapists. did you criminal of something like that is so incendiary? ly not get into a back and forth on what he said and how it can be interpreted. i can tell you i was at his speech and his comments if anyone who heard his speech in full knew exactly what he was saying and what he said was not
trump? it was cool. we are talking donald trump. he s a world wide icon. the truth does not get out t. media is not gifgs the truth. how should the press be covering this campaign? some say it shouldn t be taken seriously at all. i think the national media ignores it to their own peril. one, obviously, any time this guy comes into any primary state, he makes news. the folks i talk to seem to welcome the donald trump, because in fact he s not a politician. because he sort of runs off at the mouth. that is an endorsement. the thing i hear the most from my constituents and people i talk to is mr. trump says things that i want to say but i m afraid to say because of the pc factor. what do you make of his applause lines about the media? i have been saying it for years. it s the applause lines. i don t believe the stuff the media says. you got to trust your instinct. you can t believe the press.
he is entitled to do that. there is nothing unlawful about that. really what you have is companies both networks and other companies you know bowing to public pressure and suppressing his freedom of speech. that s been highlighted in our univision fight. the freedom of speech is something about the government s relations with an individual. the first amendment is not about private corporations stopping me from speaking. you say freedom of speech aren t you confusing the two? not at all. that s what contracts are for. you are right, but what governs contracts, what governs rather the relationship between private parties, whether it be macy s and mr. trump or any other private parties are contracts and you know if a contract is breached then we re going to pursue our remedies and impress them as those companies would against us. are you sitting here wondering, wishing that he hadn t run for president? not at all. i truly believe in working with him day-to-day quite closely the
