anything that's really stopping that would really stop mark burnett from putting this out? >> legally, maybe. with so many other stories about donald trump, he has not proven to be very transparent or provided much evidence. the claim is that they have standing contracts, mgm basically with mark burnett that might prevent them. you might sign a confidentiality agreement with mr. trump, of course, the star and executive involved in the show that wouldn't allow you to release that. this goes to a bigger question with donald trump as he runs for president, craig, something often called the jay-z test who famously said, i'm not a businessman. i'm a business, man. and that's certainly the case with donald trump. he is a businessman but he has the trump organization. it's business activities. it's tax structure. it's corporate subsidies. it's dealings for decades have been intermingled with his personal life, his personal tax status and in this case, the personal candidacy for president. >> only ari melber could work that into a segment on this. i really appreciate that. >> and o

what are mark burnett and mgm saying they can't release the footage? >> they're saying it is legal, it is contractual, legal obligations they have with donald trump with the show that means they cannot share the tapes. however, if someone were to try to leak the tapes i'm sure there would be many willing news organizations like janice's, like cnn, like many other news outlets that would love to see them. >> don't they own them? >> they do, but that's why they're in a legal trap, because they have contracts presumably with trump that say they can't share the unaired, unedited footage. >> got it. janice, i want you to watch a compilation of scenes from "the apprentice." that you guys put together at the hollywood reporter, from what aired in the broadcast and in the public record so far. let's look. >> let me just say something really quick. >> why should you interrupt me? >> because i -- >> by interrupting, what are you doing with yourself? >> because i'm being truthful. always will be truthful. >> how stupid is that. you dropped to your knees? >> yeah.

i think mark burnett, a wildly successful tv producer, is going to be under tremendous pressure not to be the rosemary woods of the election here. this is part of vetting the character of a president and the pressure on burnett as the king of "the apprentice" is to have a little transparency here, if there are concerns about donald trump, are going to be tremendous. there's already other tapes, and while trump may not remember this, he knows this was the norm for his behavior back then. my guess is there's more terrible tapes which means he'll spend the rest of the campaign apology. this is as bads a it gets. it's going to take a good 24 hours of apology to even get back. >> i think the bigger problem here, for all plunrepublicans, matter how much they think donald trump can or cannot navigate this particular ice berg that he's crashed into, they have to bet, don't they, that there are more of these out there, possibly even in the vaults of "ak said hollywood? >> yeah. i think trump's behavior both with the gafs in the past and the mistakes he made particularly in the second half of th
