FOXNEWSW On The Record With Greta Van Susteren June 11, 2016

Many, many very successful people, the happiest people are the people that have that great religious feel and that incredible marriage, children, its more important than the money, folks, believe me i know plenty with lots of money and they are not happy people. Religious freedom. The right of people, of faith to freely practice their faith, so important. Freedom of any kind means no one should be judged by their race or their color, and the color of their skin should not be judged that way. And right now we have a very divided nation. Were going to bring our nation together. I win, we are going to bring our nation together. [ applause ] the importance of faith to United States society, its really the people who go to church, who work, and work in religious charity, so important and share their values. These are the foundations of our society. We must continue to forge our partnership with israel and work to ensure israels security. [ applause ] keeping people of faith safe from threats like radical islam whether protecting them here or standing by israel, all of us need to confront together the threat of radical islam. We have to do it. [ applause ] now, Hillary Clinton or as i call her crooked Hillary Clinton. [cheers and applause] she is as crooked as they come, refuses to even say the words radical islam. Refuses to say words. This alone makes her unfit to be president. Chairman of the faith and Freedom Coalition ralph reid ran todays big event and he goes on the record from washington, d. C. Thank you for being here with us. Big event and seems generally like it was wellreceived. How did you think it went . I thought it went really great. I think donald trump really helped himself today, kimberly. You ran a good bit of some of the most critical highlights of the speech. You know, woody allen said that half a life is showing up, and donald trump showed up. Thats important particularly when you are trying to court the faithbased vote. He did a lot more than just show up. I mean, without insulting the intelligence of the audience or straining his pander muscles on issues that are critical to this community, of the right to life, of the sanctity of marriage, of the importance of supporting the state of israel, of the importance of appointing judges who will not legislate from the bench but will interpret the law and the constitution on opposition to the Iran Nuclear Deal and preventing state sponsors of terror like iran from gaining access to the worlds most dangerous weapons, religious freedom, he really hit all the right notes. I mean, i did not speak to him before he walked out on that podium other than, you know, pleasantries back stage. And if he had asked me to write down on an index card the five things that he ought to hit, he hit every single one of them and we never communicated about it. That shows a very good instinctive politician. Okay. And then the aftermath, im sure you spoke to quite a few people that attended and perhaps some that got to meet him for the first time. What was their reaction to this because, of course, this wasnt donald trump off the cuff. He was using a prompter and was focused on message and hit the top five as you say. Yeah. It was not donald trump unplugged. He came to accomplish a purpose and deliver a message and i think people, some people were very surprised, pleasantly surprised. Peculiarly as he walked through the issues and his understanding of the importance of the judiciary. You know, kimberly, this is the first time really in modern american political history that we have had a president ial election at a time when there was a Supreme Court vacancy at a moment when the highest court in the land is divided 44. Whoever gets to make that pick in january of 2017 is going to decide the fate of a Supreme Court and the federal judiciary on issues that we care about for a decade or two decades. Shes folks do not want Hillary Clinton to make that pick and the fact as he said in those remarks that he has released a list of 11 potential jurists who are some of the most respected conservative jurist notice country i think goes a long way to building trust. He also says that they are all prolife. So if you could pick one thing that you would say resonated the most with the evangelicals there, what would you say it is . The Supreme Court picks or what issue . You know, i feel like they all were important. But i have been to a couple of other events where he has spoken, including a trump rally that he held right before the super tuesday primaries, and i would say the thing that comes off the most authentic and the most genuinely trump is when he talks about the need to ensure that faith is no longer marginalized. And whether it means defending christians in the middle east, who are being subjected to systematically question accommodation or genocide by the likes of isis or whether its being able to say Merry Christmas and honor faith and charities in the United States, its time for faith and for christianity to be given the place in our society that it should be, a place of honor, rather than a place of insult and marginalization. All right, ralph, most important question is about turnout in the general election. He is going to need evangelicals to come out in huge numbers for him against Hillary Clinton. Will they do it . Well, they did it in the primaries and they certainly surprised everybody. And there is two words that you need to say to this vote to get it fired up, and thats Hillary Clinton. There you go. If you let them know that she is going to be on the other side. If he keeps doing stuff like did today, they are coming in the general just like they did in the primaries. All right, ralph, thank you for your time this evening. You bet, kimberly, thank you. As donald trump was speaking at the faith and Freedom Conference less than one mile away secretary Hillary Clinton was giving a speech of her own. Secretary clinton ratcheted up her attacks on trump. Hillary clinton or as i call her, crooked Hillary Clinton, refuses to even say the words radical islam. This alone makes her unfit to be president. Donald trump would take us in the wrong direction on so many issues we care about, economic justifiable, workers rights, civil rights, human rights, the environment, all of that is on the line in this election. Hillary clintons wall street agenda will crush working families. This is a man who has called women pigs, dogs, and disgusting animals. Kind of hard to imagine counting on him to respect our fundamental rights. Shell appoint radical judges who will legislate benchg congress and will i will tell you, the will of the people will mean nothing. We are not going to let donald trump or anyone else turn back the clock. He says if women want equal pay, we should just do as good a job as men, as if we werent already. Hillary clinton has jeopardized National Security by putting her emails on a private server, all to hide her corrupt dealings. This is the reason she did it, folks. Its to hide her corrupt dealings. She is now under criminal investigation. That was announced yesterday by the white house. I mean, its criminal investigation. We have to ask do we want to put our health, our lives, our future in Donald Trumps hands . The on the record Political Panel is here. From the wall street journal glen hall and from Fortune Magazine randal lane. Great to be here with you this evening, gentlemen. So, randal, i will begin with you, kind of get your feedback in terms of the performance that you saw donald trump give, you know, teleprompter hitting the five important points for evangelicals today. How did you rate his performance . There is real one point where ralph read talked about Hillary Clintons he hinted at it before Supreme Court. Thats whats driving. This thats what driving fundamentally his strength of evangelicals because he has got three times married, twice divorced billionaire who talks, you know, got on howard stern show its not a natural fit but you still see him hold up and he ticked the notes and he got out of dodge. All right. So this shows a little bit, glen, that he can go, stay on message. Be coached. Hit the points he needs to, do the prompter and this is in the aftermath, of course, of the big, you know, tumultuous time in the press with the judge curiel. This is second time he has placed it safe, being on prompter and staying on script. You see his influence in the scripted but you see is he very carefully getting the message out. Is he trying to show the g. O. P. Establishment that he can play the game. Okay. When you talk about the different type of groups, kind of lining up their people, right . And hillary is trying to get women and she is trying to get people on whole immigration issue. Trump seems to basically need to really pull this camp in of evangelicals. You think they will come out in force to support him. Well, he had, i felt, prompter trump today if you look who spoke before him Carly Fiorina and after him mitch mcconnell. Neither of them mentioned the name donald trump. There does speak to a larger problem he has with the party. Again, he tried to address that with the very bread and butter speech. Evangelicals historically have turned out. History before of evangelicals not necessarily turning out in the highest numbers. He does run the risk of reverting back to history where they just wont show up on election day. Glen, it sounds like is he going to have to scare them into action. Come on, troops, put up pictures of Hillary Clinton. How the future Supreme Court could look. I think its not going to be one pick. There is one on the immediate table that needs to be addressed there could be multiple. Absolutely. That was clear in the messaging. He was trying to find common ground. S areas where they were in agreement. The threat of isis and islamic jihadiism. Everybody is worried about that general side. Also, the basics of, you know, the Supreme Court as you mentioned, randal, huge on everybodys mind and that really helps calm them because is he putting forward a prolife different kind of agenda, proreligion agenda. He said the words, and, you know, he has promise to do do the deeds, thats an effort. So, this is something interesting, too. Lets talk about Hillary Clinton, she has got some great momentum. The last week she got president barack obama to endorse her even though she is under criminal investigation you heard those words from the white house. She has got Elizabeth Warren and joe biden, how powerful is that for her Going Forward . Probably the most key is actually [inaudible] the sitting president relatively popular compared to the do two candidates. met this morning and key meeting pause fundamentally she is the only person who outbernies bernie as a national candidate. If she can get not just her endorsement but pretty strong attack dog. You get Elizabeth Warren on your team and mitigate the fact that bernie is a little bit soso right now. So this is, i think u very important. Do you think though that Elizabeth Warren can help hillary unite the party. She has been hit hard from the left because of Bernie Sanders. She needs something to try and pull those votes. In. She is the one who can do it because she was neutral throughout the primary. She didnt endorse either candidate. She speaks to the same base that bernie speaks to. And she has been really respected within the party in her first term as senator. She is the one, if anyone, who can could that. All right. Lets see it its seeming more and more like that. Maybe the u. S. Is ready for a double ticket. Two females for the price of one. All right. I got two guys here for the price of one, glen and randal, thank you so much. My pleasure. Governor Chris Christie harsh words for republicans refusing to get behind donald trump. My talk yesterday in that meeting was pretty direct and it was enough that everybody complained. And, you are a republican, its time to get on board. And help the nominee. Or if you dont, you are helping Hillary Clinton being elected president. One or the other. There is no choice anymore. We now know who the two nominees is going to be. There is no speculation any longer. If you are republican and not helping trump then you are helping hillary. So, is governor christie right . Chairman of the American Conservative Union matt schlapp goes on the record. Good evening, matt, what do you make of christies words . Is he very loyal to trump. Jumped in right away to help him and lets be honest did a leg sweep on marco rubio at the debate that really did benefit donald trump. Yeah, he did. Chris christie is a blunt talker, kimberly, to say the least. And the type of blunt talk that he had on debate stage is similar to what he is saying today. Is he a little bit of the enforcer for donald trump reminding conservatives. The muscle. The muscle, thats right. The jersey muscle that conservatives and republicans across the country. This is just simple logic which is in america we have a two party system. We only either elect republicans or democrats. You know, we have always had two parties. You know, from the beginning of our democracy. And boy, if you dont vote if you are a republican or conservative and you dont pull that lever for donald trump, you are helping Hillary Clinton. Its just a fact. But have you been able to get that message across two republicans . We spoke earlier in the program with our panel about the importance of people stressing Supreme Court picks, two conservatives, in order to get them to unify because certainly has been a party divided. It hasnt been a unified embrace. It seems to be moving more in that direction. Well, you know, my take on this is a little different from Chris Christies. Im a midwestern guy so maybe i use different language. I actually think we need to get these people very opposed to trump, we have got to give them their space. Every voter has to follow their conscience, including conservatives and republicans. They ought to do what theyre called to do. I think there is a lot of republicans because they dont really know trump as a politician, that they are somewhat divided. Can you see that kind of conflict inside them. They say i like him for these things but i dont like him for those things. I think over the four months the one thing donald trump and his campaign have to continue to do is do what they did today. They have to spend time courting conservatives, courting religious conservatives. Yeah, evangelicals. Courting people in this coalition. Usually republican nominees at this point dont have to do that theyre going to need to do that courting will pay dividends. I think more and more people will come to his side as i have. Buy a nice corsage for the prom. Just a couple hours ago, mitt romney still is not feeling the love. Saying he is not going to vote for donald trump or Hillary Clinton. What do you make of that statement that declaration and, you know, whats the problem here . Whats the problem . Its the same thing for mitt romney. He has to follow his heart and follow his conscience. I have to say, im rather disgusted by it because i, like a lot of conservatives, pulled the lever for mitt romney. My wife and i wrote him a check. We were all on board when it looked like he was going to get the nomination after the other conservatives had failed. Thats the way this process works. Thats what every candidate signs up for. He is such a sore loser. Is he not helping his cause. And it makes it look like he actually should have run for president. And thats what he should have done, kimberly, is he still calling some of these candidates who ran for president and other people urging them to run as a third party. Is he doing everything he can to hurt the republican party. And, you know what . His father did that to Barry Goldwater and i think all of us are rather disgusted by this display of being the spoil sport. Yeah, its pretty disturbing because we would have like to do have seen this fire when he was running previously and was afraid to do a knockout punch. Remember that debate with Candy Crowley . Oh, boy. The knockout punch came from Candy Crowley. Exactly, oh my gosh. Matt, thank you so much. Its really been a pleasure. Thanks, kimberly. Will the president s endorsement of Hillary Clinton effect a doj investigation into her emails . Thats next. Also, one of the Worlds Largest sporting events is a major terror target. The man who shot and killed usama bin laden is standing by to i am so sorry, ms. Maroney. This personal essay is way harder than i thought, its just not in my nature to brag on myself. Not even a backdoor brag . Whats a backdoor brag .
