FOXNEWSW On The Record With Greta Van Susteren August 5, 2016 23:00:00

Bocerra. Well ask senator tom cotton about the 400 million payment to iran the same day u. S. Hostages were released. Was it ransom . Thats fox news sunday. On the record with Greta Van Sustern up next. Is donald trump about to shake up everything in wisconsin . Trump going into wisconsin. House Speaker Paul Ryan is facing a primary battle this tuesday and who trump has said nice things about . Ryans opponent. Trump has not endorsed House Speaker ryan. Trump is so unpredictable, he seems to love surprising, maybe even shocking the voters and the media. John roberts is live at the rally. Youre right, greta. Donald trump does like to shake it up. The plan that existed at noon, often doesnt exist by the time 7 00 rolls around. I checked with the campaign and told everything is on track for donald trump to throw his endorsement behind paul ryan in his republican primary next week. How this all came together was a matter of what donald trump did earlier this week. The ryan campaign, the Republican National committee, had never sought out Donald Trumps endorsement of the House Speaker. After he gave that interview in which he said im just not there yet when it comes to supporting House Speaker ryan, the rnc thought he has to do something about it. Because he is now made a nonissue an issue. So people were coming to Donald Trumps campaign saying youve got to do something to fix this. It looks like hes going to try to fix it tonight by supporting paul ryan. In addition to that, the Trump Campaign has made some midcourse corrections here. Kind of rebooting their message. Staying away from all the things like not endorsing paul ryan and talking about the khan family or some of the other things, john mccain, trying to stay on message. Talking about Hillary Clinton, they were given a real gift today, i got to say when she, before that forum of black journalists and hispanic journalists said she short circuited when she was answering Chris Wallaces questions about what she told the fbi and what she did with her emails. Watch for them to hammer that. They believe after a bad weekend and bad beginning of this week, gaining some momentum going into the weekend. Donald trump has a speech in detroit on monday. They think they can capitalize that. The polls going Hillary Clintons way they believe will begin to snap back the other way. A fluid campaign, twists and turns almost every second. Well keep watching it for you. In 2004, john kerry was running for president he called Lambeau Field lambert. That was a mistake. Brett favre goes into the nfl hall of fame, any discussion about that. Yeah, obvious donald trump likes to talk about sports. Hell probably talk about that. Everybody here in this Convention Center tonight is talking about brett favre, i was talking to a fellow earlier today who said we got angry because he went to the Minnesota Vikings but hes going to be in the hall of fame so hes back in our good graces. Im going to ohio tomorrow for it. John, thank you. All right. Donald trumps likely endorsement help speaker ryan on tuesday . What about the glowing things trump said about speaker ryans opponent . The on the other hand Political Panel is here. Josh letterman, and from the New York Post daniel halper. Donald trump took to twitter monday night and said thanks to neil, thats the opponent of speaker ryan. Thanks for your kind words he said hes had a good campaign. Now hes going to endorse speaker ryan. The ryan people i spoke to this week, their biggest concern was paul ryan going to eclipse the 60s or the 50s. You know, would he be dragged down that much. They had no question he was going to win. They not it wasnt a close race it wouldnt be an issue. It seems that trump is aligning himself with the winner here rather than trying to shake up the race, the race, i think is probably settled and will be decided next tuesday. Josh, its pretty clear to me that trump benefits from endorsing ryan and not the other way around, because ryan is so popular in his district. Even its a pretty democratic district. But does it also indicate that maybe trump is listing a little more . Thats the exact question were facing this week. Weve heard so many times before finally donald trump is going to get on message, going to stop picking unnecessary fights that dont help him but distract from his message. We saw this morning with him in a rare occasion of actually acknowledging he might have gotten something wrong saying this video of the iranian cash landing in tehran from the u. S. Was actually video of some hostages being released. So, you know, a lot of republicans hoping that this signals that finally were going to see a more straightforward campaign that doesnt shoot itself in the foot every five minutes. Weve said that a lot of time before and weve been wrong. You just dont know. Okay panel, heres the question. Why does she keep doing this . Secretary clinton did it again and its caught on tape. Watch what she claimed the fbi said and then well show you what the fbi really said. Director comey had said that my answers in my fbi interview were truthful. Thats really the bottom line here. And i have said during the interview and in many other occasions over the past month, that what i told the fbi, which he said was truthful, is consistent with what i have said publicly. So i may have short circuited it and for that you know, will try to clarify. I sent over 30,000 emails to the state department that were workrelated emails. Director comey said only three out of 30,000 had anything resembling classified markers. N what does that mean . If any of you have ever served in the government a classified government has a big heading on the top, which makes very clear what the classification is. And in questioning, director comey made the point that the three emails out of the 30,000 did not have the appropriate markings. And it was, therefore, reasonable to conclude that anyone, including myself, would have not suspected that they were clarified. So that leads the 100 out of 30,000 emails that director comey testified contained classified information, but, again, he acknowledged there were no markings on those 100 emails. And so what we have here is pretty much what i have been saying throughout this whole year, and that is that i never sent or received anything that was marked classified. Now, heres what fbi director james comey said. Secretary clinton said she never sent or received any classified information over her private email, was that true . Our investigation found that there was classified information sent. It was not true . Thats what i said. Okay. Well, im looking for a shorter answer, so were not here lit as long. Secretary clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her emails sent or received, was that true . Thats not true, tlhere werea small number of portion markings on three of the documents. Secretary clinton said i did not email any classified material to anyone was that true. There was classified email. Even if its not marked classified, participants who know or should know that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it. Daniel, she had to have known she was going to get asked that. Its the first time shes met the press and answering questions in more than six months. Why does she keep stepping in this . She made a huge mistake when she told an untruth to Chris Wallace in an interview last weekend. Shes in a bind. She knows everybody doesnt think shes truthful so she doesnt want to admit she didnt tell the truth. She keeps on repeating the same claim. I think its destructive and not particularly helpful as you just showed very clearly, shes clearly refuted by the fbi director, her claims dont arent truthful. They dont stack up with what we know about it. And its a huge problem for her that she keeps on snowballing because she cant admit she didnt tell the truth. Theres got to be some way she can put the lid on this somehow. Every time she talks about it we have another sound bite. If theres a lid to put a li on this is not it. If you have to give a seminar to voters, youre losing the battle. The issue for clinton is shes trying to explain how technically what she said is true. But that doesnt seem to be working for candidate that a lot of voters already think nuances the truth to meet her needs, tells part of the truth but not necessarily all of it. When she tries to split hairs it only seems to feed the narrative shes creating a truth for herself that isnt consistent with the broader reality. That doesnt to be something the Clinton Campaign has effectively dealt with. One of the themes is trumps unhinged. She called him today xenophobic. He files back and said shes unstable. Shes a dangerous liar. Theres so much name calling that nobody gets around to the issues. Its only august. Its only going to get worse. Theyre both doing it. Yes, its equally theyre both bad to each other in both uncivil to each other clearly. Look, its only going to get worse i cant imagine it can get worse. Use your imagination. Trump did call hillary the devil. The Clinton Campaign has struggled with how to deal with the combative nature of trumps campaign. She fired back calling him a xenophobic and racist thats not saying i would disagree with him on job. Do you speak to his level . She did. She did. Right. At one point you sort of say thats the only way to actually be effective counterargument. I look forward to the debates. The president ial debates. Josh, daniel, thank you both. And a big day for the press. Well, sort of. Secretary Hillary Clinton holding her first News Conference of 2016. Today clinton asked the press to do something, take down donald trump. I think journalists have a special responsibility to our democracy at the time like this. Its a badge of honor when jorge ramos gets thrown out for challenging donald trump or when another news agency gets banned for reporting what he said. As jorge said the best journalism happens when you take a stand when you denounce injustice. I hope youll keep calling it like you see it. This will likely add more fuel to trumps claims that the media is biassed against him. Its not going to be treated fairly by the press. Its not going to be treated fairly by the press. Were bucking the press. So dishonest, i mean, these are dishonest people. Nobody really knows. Its so disgusting whats going on with the media. So disgusting. We just cant thats why we have to win. We have to win. We have to win. Wisconsin congressman sean duffy goes oen the record. She has held a disasterts campaign. You have to go back to the media and go help me out even more. Attack him more than you have because my campaign is a disaster. Shes playing into the mindset of so Many Americans who dont have trust and faith in the media to be fair and impartial and report the news. Major candidates are begging you to help them out its playing to innarrative. Donald trump has asked for help too. He said russia if youre listening i hope you can find the 30,000 emails that are missing. Hes asked for help from putin. This is getting off the rails. She wants help from the media he wants help from the russians. First of all, i think the point on the russians is they already have the emails. What the request is, lets release them and see whats in there. Thats far different than, looking into the media to help you out more than you already have. Look at the last segment you played in the video content of what shes put out there. I think she thinks we live in the 1950s where theres, you know, no constant video coverage of what we say and do. Shes not aware that this stuff is going to get replayed on you. Let me replay something, today she was asked a question about the email. Let me replay you the question from the new york times. Im a National Political reporter with the new york times. My question you accused donald trump of using racist and sexist language what does it say about the electorate that so Many Americans are supporting him . That came on the heels of a question about emails, there was no follow up that was asked about that. But i might add the next question is what your favorite color color. I have asked softball questions myself. Im a little bit guilty of that. Your thought about a question like that. When you interview people you can hit hard and come back with a softball. We see the left wing media they throw out the softballs. When you get a softball couple questions after you guess a press statement or a luncheon statement and you cant be honest with the American People, its troubling. Greta, bill clinton, when he was caught with a dress from monica and had the dna on the dress, he came clean. He told the American People the truth. Hillary clinton has been caught red handed by the fbi and she refuses to come clean about the emails. Frankly, if she was smart, she would come clean, be honest and put the story behind her. But again, shes a pathological liar she cant seem to do it and the story stays alive and is great for donald trump. I think that let me play you ed okeeve said this of the washington post, which is good advice if she would take it. Madam secretary, thank you for being here. On behalf of all of us we encourage you to do this more often with reporters across the country. [ applause ] especially those news organizations that travel the country with you everywhere you go. Now, that was because she hasnt had a press Conference Since december, and they were grateful. Note thets che notice the cheers because the press would like to ask questions. It might help her if she did respond more often to the questions in News Conferences. Thats how you put the stories behind you. You have to rectify the truth with your prior statements and move beyond it. It goes to benghazi, greta, she couldnt come clean about the email whether it was a videotape or whether it was a terrorist attack. She couldnt come clean about what she did to get an apparatus, whether it was plane, or helicopters to move over 13 hours to go save those men. Its one lie after the other. The question becomes, if shes one person away from the presidency, to have a pathological liar in there like that is pretty disturbing for the most powerful position in the world. The American People think her trustworthiness is lousy. They also think Donald Trumps trustworthiness is lousy. How does he change that with wisconsin voters. Youre a wisconsin congressman, how does he change that one . I think, hell come on your program, he cagoes on all probls whether they lean left or right. What about the wisconsin voters . Im talking about the wisconsin voters. Hes there tonight. How is he going to convince them that hes trustworthy. Endorse paul ryan. Hes been playing the game with paul ryans challenger. Paul ryan is going to win the election, it only hurts donald trump. He can win wisconsin. The northern, central part of the state they love him. If he comes out and endorses the thought leaders of the conservative movement in wisconsin, like paul ryan, like scott walker. He will win the state. If you want to make America Great again you got to win the election, which means youve got to will wisconsin and stop attacking republicans and start going after Hillary Clinton and adding to the number of voters youre getting, not subtracting from that number. And so if he comes up tonight, good on him, endorse paul ryan, get behind him, get behind the ideas that have come out of the house and lets win the election. Were looking forward to seeing what he has to say tonight. Congressman, thank you sir. And the crowds are gathering in green bay, wisconsin. Donald trump and governor mike pence will take the stage shortly. It has not been the smoothest week for donald trump. Can he get back on track . Charles krauthammer is here next. When you have a digital notebook to capture investing ideas that instantly gives you stock prices, earnings, and dividends. An equity summary score that consolidates the stock ratings of top analysts into a single score. And 7. 95 online u. S. Equity trades, lower than td ameritrade, schwab, and etrade, you realize the smartest investing idea isnt just what you invest in, but who you invest with. Safety doesnt come in a box. Its not a banner that goes on a wall. Its not something you do now and then. Or when its convenient. Its using stateoftheart simulators to better prepare for any situation. Its giving offshore teams onshore support. And its empowering anyone to stop a job if something doesnt seem right. At bp, safety is never being satisfied. And always working to be better. Is it keeps the food out. Er for meeing satisfied. Before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. Just a few dabs is clinically proven to seal out more food particles. Super poligrip is part of my life now. We are awaiting donald trump, and in a short time trump will take the stage in green bay wisconsin. Back here in washington Charles Krauthammer just wrote an opinion piece about donald trump. Nice to see you. Good to be here. You define trump as a man who defied every political rule and prevailed to win his partys nomination. Can you explain that . He did stuff you dont expect anybody would do and survive. We called his divide a million times we were wrong. The john mccain the megyn kelly episode. There are so many you cant remember. It was almost as if the idea was to create so many scandals one would erase the one before. He prevailed in a decisive way against 16 other candidates. That is an amazing feat. But i think whats going on right now is hes in a general election. The pivot weve all heard about is never going to happen because its not a matter of wrong strategy, its a matter of character. He didnt make a mistake when he attacked the gold star father and mother. He was reacting to insults to what he saw as an insult, a slighting, disrespect. Thats what he does reflexively. That defines him.
