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

Running for Vice President of the United States. Cool. Sometimes its humbling being v. P. Nominee. Thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. Thats it for special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. Heres greta. Tonight, donald trump is demanding an investigation into Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. The amounts involved, the favors done and the significant number of times it was done require an expedited investigation by a special prosecutor immediately, immediately, immediately. Donald trump lamented Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway goes on the record. Good to see you, greta. Your boss wants a special prosecutor who is going to appoint. They indicated they are not going to do any more investigating. Donald trump today got the support of his Vice President ial nominee the chairman of the republican party. Mayor giuliani and many other people who just want to get to the bottom of this. To answer your question, greta, i would hope that this administration, who called itself, quote, post partisan and the most Transparent Administration in history would do the right thing here appoint a special prosecutor so that all of us can know whats happening. It doesnt look good and it doesnt look good for somebody who was already distrusted by a majority of americans as dishonest and untrustworthy. You have seen the numbers. You have more than half of the meetings resulting in people who gave to the Clinton Foundation, upwards of 156 million. And i also just think its untoward but i also think its lazy. Members of congress who raise money they leave their congressional offices and they walk across the street to the republican committees. To the democrats frankly to their committees you make the phone calls there because you are not allowed to do it on federal property. We should not allow the state department to be concierges for foreign donors who want access to the Clinton Foundation who has little access to the state department, period. Why do you think the fbi director comey said that he basically shut down the investigation . Do you think it was political or do you think that based on his good judgment and his experience as a prosecutor that this was an investigation that should go no further . I will try i would imagine that director comey is exhausted by Hillary Clinton. He went ahead and he gave out what he thought was a report to go against indicting her for, you know, for her email server but made very clear to all of us in the public that he knows she didnt tell the truth. That she basically lied about using one device. Lied about how many emails contained National Security information. Lied about how many emails were classified, et cetera. And lied, you know, lied certainly by deleting them all. I think he is just exhausted by that that doesnt mean as we learn more facts that he cant change his mind and we cant go through the other route which is through a special prosecutor. Kellyanne, nobody knows polling better than you do, i dont think. Tell me this why was all the pounding on secretary clinton about all these emails the last six weeks and including just roongtly that the numbers dont change between your candidate and secretary clinton . Do you think the American People and American Voters dont care about these emails . I know they care about having a transparent honorable and Accountable Government run by somebody trust one way or the other and accountable. These things take time to foment. All the reasons you laid out is precisely by Hillary Clintons floor and ceiling in the ceiling are so dangerously close together. For all of the advantages she has, for somebody who has not held a press conference in 262 days and there is no press outrage about it practically, why in the world is she not at 60 . Why isnt she at 70 among women . Its a great question. There is a reluctance that you see in these polls that is holding Hillary Clinton back from really putting away donald trump. And i think you are going to start to see all the people who had an excuse to vote against her will now find more of a reason to vote for him. If you say to yourself as apparently a majority of americans do in the polling, greta, that you dont like her and you dont much trust her, what in the world then can you say but i think i will vote for her . Thats where a lot of americans on the fence keeping 50 to 55 in most of these states are right now. Explain your candidates polls. He doesnt have very high number favorables either. Explain his to me. There is such a difference in why Hillary Clinton and donald trump have unfavorable ratings. You know, with donald trump, you hear from people u a combination of i dont like what he said or how he said it but for her they think she lies for a living. They actually think there is a separate set of rules for the clintons. There is always a budding new thing and never ending scandalabra she always reinforces her greatest negatives. With her i dont like what he said or said it here and there or im not sure he can execute and deliver because politicians never execute and deliver. What if he is just the same . Thats why he is giving these very specific solution specific policy speeches right now at his rallies where he is telling people shear my 10 point plan to v. A. Taking the case right to Hillary Clinton and the democrats who have been in Public Office to explain why communities of color have unemployment rates and crime rates and homelessness rates that really are unacceptable to all of us as americans. I think for him the reason that it sometimes is distaste for things that he says, for her its distrust which is more fundamental character flaw. You caused a buzz this weekend over a possible shift in trumps immigration plan. Trump denied that his plan has changed. Here is what he said to sean hannity in texas town hall that will air later tonight. We have great people in this country. They shouldnt be here. Great people. Got some really, really bad gang members and some horrible people. Start with them. Those people are going out day one. They are going to be the first order. Theyre going out day one. I know this question has come up a lot. What about people that work hard, have been here a long time. They own homes. They have their property. This is a question everyone is going to want answered, what about them . Do they have to go back or would you reconsider that . We are going to follow the laws of the country. Kellyanne, before i get to that, on thursday we were expecting an immigration policy speech from donald trump. That has been taken off the schedule. It was supposed to be in colorado. Thats a speech that we inherited. Such a complex issue. And he is very clear about what his thoughts on immigration are. That we want to get it right. He is taking the counsel of many different people, greta. He has said he hasnt changed. I have said he hasnt changed because he wants to do a couple things. Enforce the law, which would take care of a lot of these issues. And then, also, get rid of the criminals and find humane and effective way to address the issue that 11 million plus live among us. Be fair to the American Work and fair to all of us who are looking for jobs or who are also concerned that employers maybe around doing enough to verify who is working in their businesses and living among us. Kellyanne, nice to see you. Thank you for having me, greta. Thank you. Donald trump getting ready to speak in austin, texas. Fox News Campaign carl cameron inside the arena. Carl . Hi, greta. There is awful lot of discussion about immigration also the idea of a special prosecutor. Trump has had a quiet day. He has been in texas. He has had a couple of private meetings and here in austin later tonight. Texas is a red state. Its been voting republican for president for the last nine cycles. Tomorrow go to mississippi. Another state thats been solidly red for almost, you know, 30, 40 years. So, for trump to be here is about raising money and its about organizing the base. And it does come in this week as you were talking to ms. Conway about where there has been taken off the schedule. The immigration speech has been postponed because how you choose to describe it, the trump original throw major pillars of his immigration plan one, build a big wall, two deport all the aliens here and three muslim ban although the those things what trump said his decision would be. He says he is a deal maker and in winnertakeall state dials have to be made that wall is going to places technology and not a wall would necessarily be required. The idea of a muslim ban. He has modified that to say that some certain countries might be temporarily banned but others would, face quote extreme vetting. Its not a ban on all of them. When it comes to 11 to 18 million undocumented immigrants in the country right now using existing law going after hardened criminals repeat law breakers get them out of the country. After that its a little bit unclear. There has been some talk about whether or not mr. Trump is willing to soften his positions a little bit. And in keeping with the idea that these are negotiating positions. He may well and that might actually put more of the republican establishment camp in his favor based upon a more favorable view that that might happen with hispanics and other minorities who see it as too exclusive in its former form and are looking forward to the evolved version of the immigration plan from the trump campaign. Greta . Carl, thank you. Tonight the burning question from the fbi will there be an investigation into the Clinton Emails . We went through a thorough process to identify all of my workrelated emails and deliver them to the state department. Authorities uncover 15,000 pages of previously unreleased of Hillary Clinton workrelated emails. They are worried this is going to hound her for the rest of her political life. This is about Hillary Clinton having made repeated representations that have turned out to be false and we are seeing evidence that they were false in black and white. This is about the public trust and whether we can trust Public Officials to work on our behalf. The. Dry by running around there is nothing to see here. All they are doing providing access. There werent any favors being done. The favor is the access. J. Brand new investigation into the investigation of secretary clintons emails. Catherine herridge is here. Catherine . Thank you, greta. The Associated Press has released a new analysis tonight, based on records that were released to them of Hillary Clintons schedule when she was secretary of state. And what they found is that of the 84 donors for whom they had records. At least half gained access to then secretary of stateHillary Clinton. Many of them were major donors now well into the seven figures to the foundation. Her campaign has said that this is cherry picking. Its not a true reflection of how it works. But it certainly feeds into this idea that if you paid money to the foundation you had a better chance of access and getting your issue addressed. People think i mean, there is no indication that someone went to see her and that she changed her policy as a result of seeing anybody, right . No information so far . No. But presumably, and this does have some value, she had her picture taken with the person when the person went to see her because thats sort of common. And then you put the picture behind yourself on the desk and that has some value. It shows you have some sort of connection to somebody important. It does have some value in some instances. One of the things thats come out in the emails is a lot more information about someone who is a key fixer but has often operated in the shadows. His name is dennis change. This is someone who has had many hats for hillary and bill clinton. He worked at the clinton foundation where he was able to secure donor base of about 250 million. He then worked at the state department, deputy chief of protocol. The gate keep his or her greeted heads of state and now is he a finance director for the campaign. What the emails show is this very tight relationship between chang and long time aide huma abedin. You see it was very seamless. People would say that the lines were blurred. The way the information flowed back and forth between the foundation and state department and the fundraising crossed ethical lines. Here is my problem the Campaign Came out and made a statement basically saying this is outrageous, this is unfair. You know what . The ball really is in secretary clintons court. She needs to sit down and explain this. If everyone is imagining crazy stuff and they are unfair to her, she needs to speak up. Thats the problem. She issues these press releases, Campaign Press releases and they say its outrageous that people are suspicious. The problem is, she needs to answer. This. Its a valid point in that if the intention is to really minimize or shut down the foundation, if she is elected president , then why was it okay to operate the foundation when she was secretary of state. I dont want to get any of this wrong or bad suspicion. If she wont sit town and provide information, thats really, you know, she has made that decision and not the rest of us in the media. Good point. Anyway, catherine, thank you. You are welcome. Jason chaffetz turning up the heat on the clinton email investigation. Chairman chaffetz firing off a letter to fbi director james comey demanding more information about unauthorized people gaining access to classified information on clintons private server. Chairman chaffetz goes on the record. Good evening, sir. Hey, greta. So you sent a letter yesterday to the fbi director. What specifically do you want from him or do you want him to do . I want him to provide more light on the problem. This is the biggest breach of information on classified information that we have had at the state department. It was done knowingly and willingly the very day that Hillary Clinton started her Senate Confirmation is when she went to go get this domain name and set this thing up. She created this problem for herself. It was the Inspector General that gave the criminal referral to the fbi that started this investigation. We want the fbi director to look at those people that Hillary Clinton gave access to this information who did not have a security clearance. There is classified information its so classified that even i as the Oversight Committee cant see it but Hillary Clinton gave it to people who dont have a security clearance. Two things. One if there is an explanation for all of this, instead of making us look like we are on a witchhunt, she should speak out. She should give a press conference and answer these questions. I dont think anyone at least i dont want to get it wrong. I only have the information can i operate from if as we sort of pull teeth and get the information out. The second thing and maybe you know. This her lawyers went through her server and emails and deleted 30,000 of them. They went through the full, not reading all of them but the header. Did they have security clearance. This whole process going back to the getgo, did they have the appropriate security clearance to go through her with the possibility of a classified one there . We do not believe they had the proper and high enough security clearance in order to go through those emails. She testified under oath, Hillary Clinton, that they had rehad gone through this in detail. Fbi director testified to us that was not the case. Even before we get there, they have to have the authority to look at classified information. Thats the first thing. Yes. The second thing which i would love, i would love to hear from her about, is that her lawyers went through and sorted it. They found 30,000 that they said were personal and knowing that the house wanted them, they then deleted them. They made the choice. She is not the head of fish and wildlife. She is the head the secretary of state. She is dealing in classified information on an hourly basis. Its reasonable to think that her information is chalkewas chocketd fullof class. Thats why she gave access to those attorneys. By the way the i. T. Professionals that were also allowed to access that computer, we dont know who these people are. I went into the scif and go look at these materials. That information is redacted. They shouldnt be Holding Information back from congress. Who are these people that are access to this information . I take no pleasure in getting it wrong and so i beg of the campaign, beg of secretary clinton if this, you know, if we are all wrong, please hold a press conference and explain it because i dont think anybody in the media wants to get it wrong. But anyway, congressman, thanks very much. Let me go to the viewers now. Thanks, greta. Viewers at home this is your chance on twitter. Do you think the fbi should reopen the investigation into secretary Hillary Clintons emails . Tweet yes or no using greta. We will show you your live twitter votes throughout the show. And brace yourself, here comes the mud. The Political Television ad games are heating up. Rnc releasing new tv ad about secretary clinton. You will see it next. Also, has donald trump changed his mind about how to deal with illegal immigration . Find out from donald trump jr. Hes coming up. Extraordinarily painful, i hear you. Make sure your doctor hears you too i hear you because i was there when my dad suffered with diabetic nerve pain. If you have diabetes and burning, shooting pain
