Can I get the full segment on the forensic analyst saying Trump is definitely the voice on the phone and put on YouTube as Rapid Response?

Thanks,
Mark

CNN 05/13/2016 04:05:02 PM: ...and never shy about sharing their opinions. dana bash, thank you so much. >>> i want to zero in on the recorded phone calls with "people" magazine, the voice inflection and the tone. a lot of people say it sounds like donald trump but the businessman, you just heard it, he insists it is not. drew griffin looked into this recorded call. drew, what have you learned? >> john, if this is not him, an audio expert we talked to this afternoon said it's a masterful job of sounding almost exactly like him. the fact is, the secret public relations man in donald trump's past may have never been a real secret. the ream amazing story of donald trump's old spokesman may be that it's been such an open secret for so long that it's hard to believe that anyone is still questioning it. >> what is your name? >> john miller. >> it was back in the 1980s when the flashy new york native needed to get news out. the newspaper reports it was common knowledge among new york reporters that trump just assumed a different name and handled the media calls himself, like this call from reporter sue at "people" magazine concerning his breakup with marla maples. >> what kind of comment is that? >> well, it just that he really decided that he wasn't -- he didn't want to make a commit. that he is coming out of a marriage and he thought it was too soon to make any commitment. >> so what is going to happen with she being asked to lea o is she going to be allowed to stay? >> well, he treats everybody well, you know, you don't know him. have you met him? >> yes. >> he's a good guy. he doesn't have a lot of options and frankly he gets called by everybody. he gets called by everybody in the book in terms of women. >> reporter: if that john miller sounds like trump, it's because audio forensic expert tom owen says, in his opinion, it is. >> i can conclude with a fair degree of scientific certainty that it is donald trump's voice. >> and then in the 1990s on ""larry king live,"" he couldn't use his bio metric analysis that he says would be absolutely certain, but based on pitch, tone, cadence and expertise, john miller and donald trump are one in the same. >> yes, it's my opinion that it's donald trump's voice. >> reporter: and admitted under oath in a 1990 court testimony, "i believe on occasion i've used that name." trump was confronted with the taped phone call and "the washington post" story on friday's "today" show. >> no, i don't think -- i don't know anything about it. you're telling me about it for the first time and it doesn't sound like my voice at all. i have many, many people trying to imitate my voice and you can imagine that and this sounds like one of the scams, one of the many scams. it doesn't sound like me. >> john, why would he use fake names and fake public relations spokespersons in the first place? it was a way to deliver his tough positions on real estate deals, failures or even relationships without getting his hands dirty. and according to one trump biographer, it's a trick he may have learned from his dad fred trump who was also known in the new york real estate press as mr. green. john? >> one fewer spokesperson you have to hire, i suppose. drew griffin, thanks so much. >>> i want to talk more about this right now with political commentator amanda commentator ...
