FOXNEWSW Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace July 31, 2016

With both conventions wrapped up, the race to november is on. I dont have to be so nice im taking the gloves off. We will ask our sunday panel where the contest stands, all right now, on Fox News Sunday. And hello again from fox news in washington, dc. With the conventions over and just 99 days left, the general Election Campaign is officially on. Hillary clinton and her running make, tim kaine, are on a bus tour through the rust belt and we caught up with them yesterday in harrisburg, person, amid reports that russia has hacked into Democratic Party files even a program they shared with the clinton team. We sat down with clinton for the first time in the campaign and that is where we start. Secretary clinton, welcome back to Fox News Sunday and congratulations. Thank you, and it is good to be here. Do you believe that russia is behind the hacking and release of the dnc emails and do you think that Vladimir Putin wants to devote you or see you defeated and donald trump el legged president . Chris, here is what i think we know. We know that russian intelligence services, which are part of the russian government, which is upled the firm control of Vladimir Putin, hacked and the dnc and with know that they arranged for a lost those emails to be released, and we know that donald trump has shown a very troubling willingness to become up Vladimir Putin, to support Vladimir Putin, whether it is saying that nato would not come to the rescue of our allies if they were invaded, talking about removing sanctions from russian officials after they imposed by the United States and europe together, because of russias aggressiveness in ukraine. His praise for putinch is remarkable. Do you put that Vladimir Putin would rather see him as president than you . I will not jump to that conclusion but lay, out the fact, it raises serious issues about russian interference in our elections. In our democracy. We would not tolerate that from any other country particularly one with whom we have adversarial positions. For trump to encourage that and to praise pu testimony Vladimir Putin despite the deliberate effort to affect the election raises National Security issue. Trump after the backlash of his comments. Russia, if you listening, i help you are able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. You will probably be rewarded we by our press. He said he was being sarcastic. If you take his encouragement that the russians shack into american email accounts and you take his quite excessive praise for putin and lute allegiance to a lofts russian wish list Foreign Policy positions and his effort, then to try to distance himself from the backlash that came not. From democrats but republicans, independentses and National Security and intelligence experts, that leds us again to conclude that he is not temper meantally fit to be president and commander in chief. You carved up trump pretty good in your acceptance speech. Trump says he wants to make America Great again. Well, he could start by actually making things in america again. A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons. Here is a guy who said is unfit to be president. Why is this election so close . Too Many Americans feel hike they have been last out and left hype by our economy, by our government, and i understand that frustration and frankly, even the fear that some people feel that it is just not working for him they are looking for answers. The kind of inflammatory answers that trump has provided, blame somebody, blame immigrants, blame muslims, blame somebody, that is attractive in the first instance to people who are looking for answers. What i am counting on, what i believe, he has offered nothing to help people. I believe we have put together an agenda to increase johns, increase incomes, make our economy grow and be more fair which is going to appeal to a majority of americans. Good, because i want to talk not about trump but you and drill down into some of the positions you have taken in this campaign. At a fundraiser last year, you said this, the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment. Now, in the 2008 hell are case the court said that there is a constitutional individual right to bear arms. What is wrong with that . I think what the court said about theirening an individual right, is in line with the constitutional think asking i said in the convention, im fought looking to repeal the Second Amendment, im not looking to take peoples guns away but i am looking for more support for the reasonable efforts that need to be undertaken to keep guns out of the wrong hands. All the Second Amendment includes an individual right to bear arms. Yes. But that right, like every other of our rights, our First Amendment rates, every right that we have is open to and even subject to reasonable regulations. I want to pursue this because heller, Justice Scalia said the right to bear arms reasonably limited. And he let the door open to regulation. If you are elected president you are going to appoint the 9th Supreme Court justice. Are you saying you do not want to see the heller decision, the individual right to bear arms overturned. No, i dont but here is what i want and i want to be clear about this, i want the congress to step up and do its job. I want to get out of the horrible cycle we are in where we go and mourn dozens, hundreds, thousands of People Killed by gun violence, everyone says lets ray and send our hards and feelings. And nothing happens. We are better than this. The gun lobby intimidates elected officials. The vast majority of americans, including gun owners, support the kind of common sense reforms i am proposing. Aon immigration, you say that you would go even further than president obama in deferring the deporting of people in this country illegally and you say in congress doesnt act, you would support we even tougher executive action. I want to ask you about separation of powers because the constitution is clear all legislative powers reside in congress, it doesnt say in congress doesnt act, the president can do whatever he or she wants. Lets sort that it because it is important. When it comes to immigration, i believe strongly that comprehensive Immigration Reform with a path to citizen help is not only good for People Living up the shadow of deportation but good for our economy. I think this is on the must do list and i hope that after this election that the congress which voted in a bipartisan way in 2010 and 2013 to actually take action, they will come back and say, okay, lets do this together. In they dont. In they do what gives you the right to do executive action. There is a lot of precedent, legal resident, about how president s enforce the laws. Lets look at deportation. Whoever is president gets to determine what the priorities are. My priorities are deporting criminals, violent criminals as fast as we can, anyone that has even a possible link to terrorism. But dont go rounding up hard working mothers and fathers and taking them out of factories or the hotels or the homes where they are working, making them disappear and leaving their children alone. That doesnt make any sense to me. If you are talking about executive action that will affect not just a few people or 100 people, in i understand this, but it will affect millions of people, are you changing your law and writing the law . No, because here is what i think, the Supreme Court has sent become for trial the challenges to the president s authority to take cad goers of categories of people. As president you could make the justice who could break the tie. First, lets have the trial, that is true, i hope i will have that chance, it is not just that but citizens united, a lot of things that the Current Court i think got wrong, respectly, for our democracy. You would like to see those changes with your next Supreme Court justice . Whoever is the next will appoint at left one or more Supreme Court justs. In are a lot of decisions i approve of by the court, such as Marriage Equality but there are decisions when take ton their natural conclusion, have hurt our democracy and undermined our economy. What about precedent . All the resolution is in line. I taught law i am a of cog lawyer. I know that resident is something that you look to but i also know that cores can take a look at Resolution Department and determine that maybe they werent right the first time. You say you are the real change agent in the campaign but it is fair to say that you are building on the obama agenda, you not rejecting it, 69 of americans think we are on wrong rack and we just found out that g. D. P. Growth in the last quarter was 1 , the slowest economic recovery since 1949. And you are offering tweets, not a dramatic shift. What i am offering are proven results. What i am offering is we can build on where we are, we dug ourselves out. I am not happy with the status quo, i have said that repeatedly. But you offer more government programs. More spending. Lets look. More entitlements and more taxes, and penalties and credits. Lets unpack that. What i am offering is the biggest Job Creation Program since world war ii and i hope to be able. But it is infrastructure. That is what obama did. He did not get to do enough or get enough support from congress. It took years under president obama to do something that we have roads, bridges, tunnels, ports, airports, water systems, all failing. All being less than efficient in a time when we want to lit our economy and take on the world. We need a new electric grid. That is government. It will be publicprivate sector. I am look for ways to start a National Infrastructure bank creed seeded with federal dollars but bring in private investors. I believe america is ready for this because we feed to rebuild our infrastructure which will create millions of jobs and lay the foundation for many more millions to come. Coming up, much more from our exclusive interview with secretary clinton. We asked her about benghazi and the email and her biggest concern when she gave her acceptance speech. With usaa is awesome.

A look outside the beltway aspin penn state capital in harrisburg where we have the first interview with Hillary Clinton since she became the democratic nominee 69 perhaps the biggest challenge the Clinton Campaign faces now is trying to deal with the dows that millions of voters have about her honesty. We asked her about the key flash points benghazi and her private emails. One of the most dramatic moments in the Republican Convention was when pat smith the mother of shawn smith win of those who died in benghazi stood up before the convention and blamed you, for her sons death. I blame Hillary Clinton, i blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son. Personally. She and the father of tyrone woods both say that on the day their sons daughters were returned to the United States, you came up to them and you said it was all because of a video, not terrorism. Now, i know some of the other families disagree with this, and i know you deny it, my question is, why would they make that up . Chris, my heart goes out to both of them. Losing a child under any circumstances especially in this case two accident employees, extraordinary men, both of them, two c. I. A. Contractors gave their lives protecting our country, our values, i understand we the grief and the incredible sense of loss that can motivate that as other members of families who lost loved wins have said, that is not what they heard. I dont hold any ill feeling for someone who in that moment may not fully recall everything that was or wasnt said. A reason that people questioned your account, and it gets to the important question of trust, is because that day at andrews you never talked about terrorism. You talked about the video. We have seen the heavy assault on our post in benghazi, that took the lives of those brave men. We have seen rage and violence directed at american embassies identify an awful internet video we had nothing to do with. That is not fair. If you go back and Read Everything that i said that day i quoted people would talk about itening terrorism, i had already said it was terrorism. There was no doubt it was terrorism. I think there has been a confusion in the minds of some, and exploiting that confusion for the. I have a quote. But look at everything i said barks, and this goes back to all of the investigations that were carried out, there were riots, there were protests, and there were efforts to breach our embassies. But not in benghazi. We were looking at whole world, the whole world was aflame. All the emails. Yes. I want to ask you about one aspect of them and that is what you told the American People. I did not email any classified materials to anyone on my email. There is no classified material. I am confident that i never sent or received any information that was classified at the time. I had we not sent classified material, nor received anything marked classified. After a long investigation, f. B. I. Director james comey said none of the things that you told the American Public were true. Chris, that is not what i heard the director say and i thank you forgiving me the opportunity to, in my view crave. The director said that my answers were truthful and what i said is consist went what i have told the American People that there were decisions discussed and made to classify it tremendous actively certain emails. I was communicating with over 300 people in my emailing and they certainly did not believe and had in republican to believe that what they were sending was classifyied. Different agencies come in, and they eight should have been but not what was happening in real time. In a congressional hearing on july 7, the director comey con that ticketed what you told the public. Secretary chin torch said nothing was marked classified sent or received is that true . Not true. Essential clinton said i did not email any classified material to anyone on my email and this is no classified material. Was that true . This was classified material emailed. Directly contradicting. I. Not only directly contradicted but also said in the hearing you are were extremely careless and negligent. Well, chris, i looked at whole transcript of everything that was said, and what i believe is, number one, i made a mistake, not using two different email addresses. I have said that and i repeat it again today. It is certainly not anything that i ever with do again. I take classification seriously. I relied on and had every reason to rely on the judgments of the revels with who will i worked. In retrospect people saying among those 300, they made the wrong calls. At time, there was no reason in my view to doubt the professionalism and the determination by the people who were every single day on before of our country. Now, the Clinton Foundation and allegations of pay to play, the argument, the allegation that Foreign Companies and Foreign Countries either donated big money to the foundation or paid your husband big money for speeches in order to influence your work as secretary of state. In the first 12 years as he left white house, president clinton made 13 speeches he got 500,000 or more and 11 of those 13 were while you were secretary of state and they were all paid for by foreign interests. Are we to believe that is just a coincidence . There is no truth to any of these allegations. But it is true they gave, they made the speeches, they were by foreign interests and he got much bigger speaking fees. He gave speeches as soon as he left the white house, all the way up until the last year. And he spoke all over the world, as well as throughout america. To all kinds of groups. But lets get to the we not of your question. Im really proud of the Clinton Foundation. I am proud of the work that it does. Thanks to the Clinton Foundation nine million more people in our world have access to hivaids drugs because they negotiated contracts that maim them affordable. There is absolutely no connection between anything that i did as secretary of state and the Clinton Foundation so people can say
