Watch the explosive moment when Donald Trump lashes out at a reporter over a question about free speech. In a heated exchange, Trump criticizes the journalist, calling her “terrible” and questioning her character, while also revealing a sudden shift in his stance on free speech for those critical of him.
00:00I've become immune to it. There's never been a person that's had more unfair publicity than me,
00:05and that's why your network paid me $15 million or $16 million, I believe.
00:10So you can't sit back and just say, oh, well, what do you think?
00:13You know, like you're some wonderful person. You're not a wonderful person.
00:16Frankly, you're a terrible reporter. You know it, and so do I.
00:20At the same time, when you have networks...
00:24We've restored free speech in America.
00:26Yeah.
00:26Is that free speech, including for people who are harshly critical of you, for your political opponents,
00:31for people who say things you don't like, who treat you unfairly?
00:34I've become immune to it. There's never been a person that's had more unfair publicity than me,
00:40and that's why your network paid me $15 million or $16 million, I believe, to be exact.
00:46George Slopadopoulos. And that's why CBS paid me a lot of money, too.
00:51And that's why I sued the New York Times two days ago for a lot of money.
00:55Because I, well, I'm winning. I mean, I'm winning the cases, and the reason I'm winning is because you're guilty, John.
01:01You're guilty. ABC is a terrible network, a very unfair network, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
01:06NBC is equally bad. I don't know who's worse. I think they're equally bad.
01:10And, you know, for you to stand there and act so innocent and ask me a question like that.
01:16But look, you paid a big price because you were dishonest, John.
01:21The reason I won that lawsuit is because you were dishonest.
01:24You were proven to be dishonest.
01:26And so you can't sit back and just say, oh, well, what do you think?
01:29You know, like you're some wonderful person.
01:32You're not a wonderful person.
01:33Frankly, you're a terrible reporter.
01:34You know it, and so do I.
01:37Okay.
01:38Here's what we're going to do.
01:40Here's what we're going to do.
01:43At the same time, when you have networks that where I won an election, like in counties, I guess it's 2,600 to 525.
01:54That's called landslide times two.
01:57When you have that kind of, that level of popularity or voter support, as I did in the last election.
02:03And yet 97 and 94 percent, different numbers.
02:09You see different numbers with different stats.
02:12But 97, 94, 95, 96 percent of the people are against me in the sense of the newscasts are against me.
02:24The stories are 90, they said 97 percent bad.
02:27So they gave me 97.
02:30They'll take a great story and they'll make it bad.
02:34See, I think that's really illegal, personally.
02:38You can't take, you can't have a free airway.
02:41If you're getting free airwaves from the United States government and you can't have that and say, and somebody that just won an election.
02:49And I had to go through this during the election.
02:50I think it's a miracle that I can win when 97 percent of the stories on the networks are bad or whatever it may be, whether it's 89, doesn't matter.
03:02It's a tremendous number.
03:04You know it.
03:04You report it all the time and it changes.
03:06But when you have that kind of a negative reporting, fake negative reporting, when they take a great story and they make it into a bad story constantly, that's what they do.
03:16Look, 60 Minutes took Kamala's answer and they threw it out and they gave her a different answer so that she sounded competent.
03:25When things like that happen, George Slopidopoulos from your network, right?
03:30George Slopidopoulos had to pay $16 million to me because of what he said.
03:36And that's ABC.
03:38You had to pay more than that.
03:41Your network had to pay more than that.
03:43So I think it's very sad.
03:47But I think that reporting has to be at least accurate, at least accurate to an extent.
03:54Again, when somebody is given 97 percent of the stories are bad about a person, that's no longer free speech.
04:04That's no longer anything.
04:04That's just cheating.
04:05And they cheat.
04:07And they become really members of the Democrat National Committee.
04:10That's what they are, the networks, in my opinion.
04:13They're just offshoots of the Democrat National Committee.
