Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Shepard Smith Reporting 20160826 :

Watching. Im harris faulk any in today for shepard smith. Donald trump is set to meet with hispanic leaders behind closed doors today at the Trump International hotel in las vegas. Theyre expected to talk about immigration as critics from all platecall cal views are take trump has been sending mixed messages on the issue. Trump in his campaign had called for kicking out the estimate 11 million Illegal Immigrants but during a town hall this week, trump said he was open to softening his plan, and he said he may allow some immigrants to stay even if they dont have if they do not have, i should say, criminal records, and if they pay back their taxes. Then trump said this last night were going to deport many people, many, maybe people the vast majority of the 11 million we dent to yet. Well find out who they are. We have crime if they havent committed a crime, is there a path to no, not a path to no path to legalization. Talking about unless people leave the country, when they come back in, theyve come back in then they can start paying tacks. So they still have to leave the country. That no path to legalization unless the leave the country and come back. Trump doubled down on calling Hillary Clinton a bigot. He said she is, quote, totally bigoted. Hillary clinton fired back today. She said trump built his campaign on, quote, her words, prejudice and paranoia. What i want to make clear is this. A man with a long history of racial discrimination, who traffics in dark responsible sir theories conspiracy theories drawn from supermarket tabloids and white supremacist, White Nationalist, antisemitic groups should never run our government and command our military. The latest in a fierce back and forth between the president ial nominees, and for months trump has been hammering clinton for using that private email server when she was secretary of state. You know, she deleted thousands of messages. Now theres world she used a special software to wipe that server clean to try to ensure that no one could ever recover her emails. Well have more on that part of our coverage in a moment. Catherine herridge. First, carl cameron is live in las vegas following the Trump Campaign. What more do we know about this meeting with hispanic leaders . Reporter well, it will be here in nevada, and here in las vegas specifically. Trumps over at his hotel, and it may take place that. Were not certain about that. He has left his hotel just a short while ago, and generally speaking in these types of leadership meetings he does mostly listening. So there will be hispanic leaders from near nevada and elsewhere who will be talking about and it presumably ask him directly what his position on the undocumented aliens in this country will be and whether theyll be deported as Illegal Immigrants or whether, as he said on hannitys show this week there would be a softening. Last night on cnn he said there would be no path to legal status and already said there would be no path to citizenship. So, this sounds as if earlier in the week he flipped on his plan to deport all of the Illegal Immigrants in this country, and has now flopped, to say, well, thats not the case and there will be no path to legal status. This has been quite a serious, serious firestorm amongst conservative republicans who recognize from the very beginning of his president ial candidate, mr. Trump was saying that the Illegal Immigrants in the country had to go, and he appeared to have vacillated on that earlier this week, but has now come back to what is presumably his original position. Now, its worth noting, harris, that many months ago, there was a big controversy about anedder toal meeting that mr. Trump had with the New York Times Editorial Board which was on background, awful the record, and they have never released the transcripts and or tapes of the interviews but at the time it was said that trump told the New York Times Editorial Board that all of his policy proposals and pronouncements were negotiatings positions and he would want to make deals. Boasts about being a great dealmaker and would leave some degree of latitude to negotiate and bargain even on immigration. He adamantly denied that. The New York Times never reef leased any transcripts to prove otherwise, and so hell have this meeting. Pool cameras, which is to say the networks identified singular camera will be allowed to take some video of othe meeting as it begins and occasionally get a little sound where trump will make a statement for the cameras and then were moved removed from the room and they good about their business and we can talk to folks afterward about what was said. Most hispanics like the idea their friends, family, et cetera, might be able to see here even if they overstayed their visas and came here illegally. Whether or not that holds true is much up in the air for discussion. One thing that hits me is the fact this is the second such meeting in several days that donald trump has had with members of minority communities. He met with black leader as well and talk about the economics of the situations for blacks in urban areas where they are struggling economically and with crime, and now youve got this situation. Just an observation. Weve mon0. Hillary clinton has been hitting donald trump for his association with the socalled altright, the alternative right movement. Right. Which is sort of aday rifftive, many derivative of white supremacist groups, White Nationalist groups. Trump has distanced himself from those. Last night he said he does not want theyre support when asked directly in New Hampshire by a local tv station there. Said he doesnt want them as part of his team. Having said that, those types of groups have been very favorably inclined towards mr. Trump and even the likes of david duke, formerly the grand wizard of the Klu Klux Klan said theyre very appreciative of his position and they share a lot of the same views. To trump says, no thanks, not about that. He is meeting with africanamerican groups, minority groups, latinos, et cetera, and very aggressive live in his rallies, reaching tout appeal to them, recognizing you cant win just with white men as part of his constituency. He needs win and minorities and in the polls he has some difficulties there. So, in the final two and a half months he has made a commitment to work very, very hard to court them and earn their votes. I know he nils that closed door fundraiser and then goes on to the meeting with hispanic leaders wind chill real cover the news with carl cameron. Thank you. Hillary clintons team didnt just delete thousands of emails from her secret server when she was secretary of state. They scrubbed the entire server using special soft ware according to a senior republican on the House Oversight committee. South carolina congressman trey gowdy says clintons team used a program called bleach bit. Expert said it acts like a digital shredder which permanently cram bells data. Last month the feds said there was no such evidence to support criminal charges against clinton but yesterday a federal judge ruled on some 15,000 previously undisclosed emails the fbi recovered and turned over. The judge has given the state department until the middle of next month to review those messages and possibly release some of them as well. Team fox coverage continues now with Catherine Herridge live in washington. Tell us more about the special secret Software Server reporter two sources who have read the fbis investigative file that was sent to capitol hill now confirm to fox news that clintons team used a technology called bleach bit to delete personal records and Cyber Security experts say thats can perilly scramble the data. I believe the fbi would give it their best shot and look for a lucky break and look for a mistake being made but its harder for them. Its really hard to recover information that has been scrambled this way. Reporter using the technology the very least interesting clinton seemed to claim ignorance. Wiped the whole server. Im not i dont dish have no idea elm thats why we turned it 0 you were in charge. Did you wipe the server. Like with a cloth or something . We have asked the Clinton Campaign why her team used this technology called obleachbit , one that presents challenges for fbi experts and after they and when she was asked for records. Considering its been the better part of 265 days since we have had a News Conference with Hillary Clinton, that response gets less and less funny every time i hear it. Mention the new emails, the 14,900 of them set to come out. When might we see them actually . Reporter just to recap for people, the fbi recovered these nearly 15,000 records as part of their investigation into clintons handling of classified information and those records were given to the state department in july, and now according to a new ruling from a federal judge in florida, the Department Must release her records from that group that are relevant to the 2012 benghazi terrorist attacks and need to do that by september 13th. A total universe of documents that the fbi recovered and turned over to the state department, the state department has told judicial watch, told us, they have had positive hits for the search term benghazi. Reporter were looking at records sometime in midseptember and then based on a separate lawsuit. More records probably as early as the first week of october. Its interesting. When you look at the polling it looks like Democrat Supporters of Hillary Clinton dont care about the email issue but when you look at the issue of trustworthiness, its not the case. Thats a problem for her, and this is tied to that. Well follow the news. Thank you very much. Reporter going to keep going. Lefts bring in chris wallace, we had one of your d. C. Cohorts on today. James rosen said we could see new email every month for the next forever in the Hillary Clinton scandal. And thats it is the ultimate drip, drip, drip. My big question for you is whether i left off we catherine, this doesnt resonate among supporters of Hillary Clinton. Why doesnt it . Well, look. This has been going on for 15 months now, or maybe longer than that, almost a year and a half since the New York Times broke the story in march of 2015 that Hillary Clinton had a private email server. That was the first revelation of that. You have to figure over the course of the last year and a half, if youre upset about Hillary Clintons emails and the connection to the clinton foundation, all of that has come out in this period of time as well. That youre not a clinton supporter and if you are clinton supporter, then youre not that upset about it or youre more concerned about other things. So, the question as to whether this is kind of already factored into the price of the market, if you will, if we already know people are upset, arent going to be clinton supporters and people who are clinton supporters are not upset. Ill will be interesting to see if there are new revelations. Maybe there is some huge smoking gun but i think marginal pieces of information that only confirm things that people think about Hillary Clinton, im not sure its going to change peoples minds. Interesting point. Lets move on to something that is new, the quinnipiac poll shows a tenpoint differential between Hillary Clinton, leading donald trump. This is a National Look by quinnipiac. This caught my eye because i was drilling down see what was going on. A couple of things. Hillary clinton actually people believe 60 in this polling that she does not have to play by the same rules as everybody else. 74 say they believe that donald trump should turn over his tax returns immediately. The assistant director or the poll said this about the entire race. He says. Trump missteps gaffs wow, there is any light at the end of the dark and depressing chapter in american politics . Hes doing the polling, chris. Well, yeah. But look at how you began the show. Youve began it with these two people going after each other on racist racism and bigot tri. Labor day used to be the unofficial start of the president ial campaign. Were a week away and theyre bring ought racism and bigotry as comments to each other. What are you going to get over the next 74 days . How much tougher and meaner and more personal can it get . And youre exactly right. Its basically on the one hand you have Hillary Clinton, who people dont trust, who think doesnt play by the rules, is not honest and trustworthy, does not have bigry and donald trump would people fear, whether he would be too reckless to be in the oval office, and at this point what that pollster is saying theyd rather have somebody who they dont trust but maybe fit to be president over somebody who they dont trust and dont like but who they think my may have be unfit to be president. Wow. Its an ennobling choice. When when you bring race into it, my question is the politics of the narrative of division only serve those people who are trying to get something out of it. What does that do for the American Public and do they both risk ostracizing themselves with voters . I guess well find out in november. Chris wallace, im going to bag about you now. This weekend on fox news sunday, chris talks perspective Donald Trumps campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway and the bib libertarian nominee, gary johnson. Well be right back. Better buckle up. That inactive satellite radio of yours is ready to roll. Because the siriusxm free listening event is on right now just hit the sat button in your car and listen free thru sept 6. Thats right, two glorious weeks of commercialfree music, plus talk, sports, comedy, news, and more. Your ride has never, ever, rocked like this. Oh yeah,xm is on foe right now. So tune in and lets ride wikileaks founder Julian Assange is telling fox news he has information on Donald Trumps campaign but its not a as explosive as his critics might hope. The problem is that some Trump Campaign is its actually hard for us to publish much more controversial material than what comes out of Donald Trumps mouth every second day, and thats very strange reality for most of the media to be in. Is he complaining they candidate is more interesting than what he is scooping up . Assange said he machines to release significant documents linked to Clintons Campaign but refused refused to elaborate. Wikileaks released hacked im es in july that forced the Democratic National Committee Chairwoman to step down. Some staffers were assange has been living in Ecuadorian Embassy in london since 20126789 he is fighting extradition to swede wherein he faces Sexual Assault charges and he denies the accusations. Aisle quo opportunity hacking. Why is wiki getting involved. Reporter Julian Assange claimed to be champion of government ethics and said said it is important to highlight what government should do and not do. He is also bowsterred how bowl sirred how effect if the he locks are and when the emails from them Democratic National committee were leaked it forced several people to resign, and assange says the more they release, the more leaked information they obtain. Watch. Hopefully that process will continue as we continue to publish and we can see a kind of cascade of information, hopefully also coming out about our Republican Campaign and then americans and others can be better informed about who is going to be in u. S. Politics. Reporter assange saying its more important to fully vet the information than to get it out in a timely manner. I hadnt really heard this term as such. Assange says he believes Hillary Clinton has something called elite immunity. What is that . Reporter really his way of saying that he thinks she has friends in high places. He talks bottom the Obama Administration targeting journalists and journalistic sources, including from fox news. He also points to a certain media bias saying that some organizations are resistant to publish information that reflects badly on the democratic part, though assange claims its clear he is trying to dig up dirt on both parties but he thinks Hillary Clinton has a lot of cronyistic influence, you know, cronies. Watch. When you see that Hillary Clinton has not been prosecuted for more than 100 classified messages she has exchanged, including ones that bear classification labels, that is elite immunity. Reporter assange says he is not rooting for trump, saying if he had good info on him he would put it out. A professional hacker trying to make up the difference because the thinks Mainstream Media is not doing enough. Interesting. Thank you. Much more politics straight ahead. Ill talk about the state of the race with strategists from both Political Parties and what both
