Trump from more selfinflicted wounds, clinton from still more emails that showed a cozy relationship between the Clinton Foundation and her state department. On friday we traveled to the governors residence in republican Vice President ial nominee, mike pence. In his first sunday show interview since the conventions, we talked about the challenges facing both campaigns. Governor pence, welcome back to Fox News Sunday and thank you for inviting us to the governors residence. Thanks, chris. Welcome back to indiana. Do you believe that Hillary Clinton was involved in a pay to play arrangement as secretary of state with big donors for the Clinton Foundation . Well, it looks that way more and more every day, doesnt it . The new emails made public just in the direct connection between favors done by state Department Officials and major foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation. The American People have a right to know. I think people of this country are tired of the pay to play politics in washington, d. C. I promise you, when donald trump and i arrive at the white house, were going to bring all of that to an end. Do you have any evidence that she actually took actions as a result of these big donations. When you say the American People think there should be an investigation, a federal investigation . Well, certainly, the officials at the fbi also found out this week believe that there should be an investigation and obamas department of justice apparently has shut that down. Look, these are very serious allegations. Now we have evidence in writing in this email chain of connections between foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation and officials at the state take any action in response to that . Thats what we need to find out. We really do. The public has a right to know. Really and truly, this is exactly the kind much pay to play politics the American People are sick and tired of. Frankly, it is just one more example of the way i believe that the clintons have been operating over the past years. Its one of the reasons why the American People have a fixed we so much need to elect donald trump as the next president of the United States. Now, donald trump has opened a new line of attack against Hillary Clinton saying that she and obama were the most valuable players for isis. Isis is honoring president obama. He is the founder of isis. Hes the founder of isis. Hes the founder. Hes and i would say the cofounder would be crooked Hillary Clinton. You and he spent a day defending his remarks, saying that they were serious. Now trump says that he was being sarcastic. Governor, which is it . I think he was being very serious and he was making a point that needs to be made. But there is no question that the failed policies of president state Hillary Clinton in the wider middle east created a vacuum within iraq in which isis was able to arise. Theres simply no question. Why is he saying he was sarcastic . Well, he was making a very serious point. He said he was being sarcastic. He was making a serious point. Donald trump has a way of talking that gets peoples attention. Its drawn attention to an important issue. There was a time when the democrat president knew where the buck stopped in the whit the failed policies in the middle east that created the environment where isis developed belongs to president barack obama and secretary of state Hillary Clinton and the American People know that. Governor, those are all perfectly legitimate points to make but that isnt what trump said. He said that obama and clinton were the most valuable players of isis. That they were the cofounders of isis. Then he said, well, i was just being sarcastic about that. Just as he said he was just being sarcastic about inviting emails of Hillary Clintons. Isnt the sarcastic excuse getting a bit old . No, i dont think its getting old at all, chris. Donald trump made his way through a competitive primary because he spoke not like your typical politician but plainly like an everyday american. Speaking plainly is exactly what the American People will anticipate in the course of this election but more importantly, theyll have a president w and theyll hear him loud and clear. Hes making a major speech about rad al islam i can terrorism. He has not offered details as to how he would beat isis. What is his plan . Get ready. Monday in ohio i will be with him on that day. Hell do what he did last monday on his economic plan. Hes going to lay out his vision and strategy for defeating specifics . Youll be ready for specifics about how new leadership in the white house, a change of direction in the white house and broad shouldered leadership that donald trump will bring will make our country more safe. But this week, 50 former Top National Security officials, all of them republican, said that they could not vote for donald trump, so did a respected moderate republican senator, Susan Collins and what they said was that hes too president. We all felt strongly enough about what we believed to be a clear and present danger that we felt compelled to say what we said. Were talking here, sir, about a senior senator, former head of the cia, two former secretaries of homeland security. They say we cant trust donald trump to be commander in kmeef. Well, you know, im old enough to remember a president that you covered a few years back who, when he was running thing. There was never that mass defection from owe. Just as much criticism of Ronald Reagans broad shouldered approach to foreign policy. I understand when a lot of the people in the establishment that have been part of the very policies that have put the world stage in the condition that it is today have anxiety about the cleareyed leadership that hes going to bring. Both trump and clinton offered their economic plans this week and there were some big differences, especially on taxes. Trump cuts taxes clinton raises them. Trump wants to repeal the estate tax which already exempts the first 5 million for an individual. Clinton raises the estate tax and trump wants a new Tax Deduction to cover child care expenses. Clinton says expanding the child care tax credit helps lower income families more. Question governor, why shouldnt middle class families look at the two mans and say at least on taxes clinton offers them a i think not only middle class americans like my wife and i, but all americans know the pathway to prosperity is not going to be found in raising taxes. Hillary clintons planning over a trillion dollars in tax increases. That 47minute speech she did, i was told its over a trillion dollars in spending. What donald trump laid out, in a very real sense, whats worked here in indiana and worked in republicanled states. They earn. You unleash the power of the economy by rolling back regulation and red tape, repealing obamacare. You end the war on coal. And develop all the Energy Resources of our land. And thin you have tougher and smarter trade deals and that will get this economy moving again. Hillary clintons plan is just more of the same old, same old failed policies that have led us to a place where, chris, were in the middle of the slowest economic recovery since the great depression. Income to 15 and clinton says the result of that is that trump would give himself a big tax cut. She even has a name for it. Lets call it the trump loophole. Because it would allow him to pay less than half the current tax rate on income from many of his companies. Hed pay a lower rate than millions of middle class families. The United States has one of the highest Corporate Tax rates in the western world, chris. Its driving jobs out of this country. And donald trump is committed not only to cutting taxes across the board for every american but also lowering the Corporate Tax rate so that businesses, large and small, can be competitive. Governor, were talking about something called pass through business income and analysts say top 1 . So if hes cutting the income tax rate for this kind of business income, 2 3 of it is going to the top 1 . Theyre making out, not the middle class. I dont think the American People spend the time that people on the left panned Hillary Clinton and their supporters spend picking winners and losers in the economy. The American People know if we pick the right policies, everybodyer everybody wins. For more than a decade, real personal income has stagnant. I know that Hillary Clinton and her team said that the expectations that donald trump articulated were wildly unrealistic. What i think is wildly unrealistic is electing the same people with the same ideas and expecting a different result. Lets do a lightning round. Quick questions, quick answers. You had an Interesting Exchange with a young man on the campaign trail recently. Ive been noticing that youve been up on mr. Trumps is this going to be your role in the administration . Sometimes things dont always come out like you mean, right . Are you the cleanup crew . I couldnt be more honored to be campaigning shoulder to shoulder with a man who i believe is going to be the next president of the United States. You do have to clean up and explain some of the things he says . We have different styles. As i told that little boy, we have exactly the same convictions. We both believe we can make America Great again if of standing tall on the world stage, rebuilding military, unleashing full potential of the American Economy and letting the people stand tall again. Trump banned reporters he thinks are unfair from attending his campaign events. You said you were going to talk to him about that. Have you gotten him to lift the black list . I dont think donald trump is having any problem Getting Press at this point. He gets an awful i know you have a strong people about a free press. Have you gotten him to change his mind . Well keep our private conversations private. But thats an ongoing discussion in the campaign. Ill i do believe in the publics right to know. Whether its about these latest allegations about Hillary Clinton or otherwise. Well continue to do advance that principle. You have been running for office, winning office, serving the country for about a quarter of a when you hear donald trump go after a gold star family, when you hear him refusing to endorse someone like paul ryan, when you hear him suggest that he might not defend our nato allies, as a serious man, do you ever shake your head . I really couldnt be more honored to be Standing Shoulder to shoulder with donald trump. Hes not someone that spent a lifetime in politics. I truly do believe this good man is going to be a great president of the United States. People are increasingly concerned about his temperament because of the statements he makes in public. What would you say to people who have those doubts, may think gee, im not crazy about Hillary Clinton but im scared of donald trump . I would say stay tuned. Its very early in this campaign. This coming monday, youre going to see a vision for confronting radical islamic terrorism. Last week you heard a approach to having a growing economy. Youre saying dont give up on him . Im saying stay tuned. Its still early in this campaign and im just i am very confident. Lets talk about you and your record. You signed a religious freedom law last year that under heavy fire you agreed to soften. Let me ask you personally. Do you believe that a business owner, a person who owns a bakery, a photography shop, whatever, should have the right feels that it violates his religious convictions . Chris if i was in a restaurant and saw someone denied service because they were gay, my family wouldnt eat there again. I dont believe in discrimination or support it. When theres a conflict of rights, those are the proper purview of the courts. Daye believe that the efforts we made in indiana contributed to being able to things as americans have done through generations. Finally, you signed an abortion bill this year that bans a woman from getting an abortion because her fetus has genetic abnormaliabnormalities. I know you would like to see roe vs. Wade reversed. Given the fact that its still the law of the land, why does a state have the authority to limit the reasons a woman has top end her pregnancy . Im prolife. Id like to see roe vs. Wade overturned and confined to the ash heap of history. We took a stand in indiana that frankly many countries have taken that abortions for the reason of race or sex are morely offensive. We stand by that. But we also cherish those who have disabilities in the state of indiana. Taking a step in the direction of protecting the unborn who are facing physical challenges and disabilities. I think you still believe that, that it would be a woman should not be allowed to have an abortion . Its before the courts right now. The courts will resolve that matter. But you still believe that . I believe in the sanctity of life. I stand for that principle and i am grateful to be standing with donald trump in his strong commitment to the right to life. Governor, thank you. Safe travels on the campaign great to be with you. Up next, democratic senator Claire Mccaskill, one of Hillary Clintons earliest supporters, responds to governor pence and to new questions about links between the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clintons state department. Energy is a complex challenge. People want power. And power plants account for more than a third of energyrelated carbon emissions. The challenge is to capture the emissions before theyre released into the atmosphere. Nology better, more affordable so it can reduce emissions around the world. Thats what were working on right now. . . Emails are back in the news raising more questions about the time as secretary of state. This as polls show clinton pulling ahead of donald trump in key swing states. Joining me now from st. Louis. Senator Claire Mccaskill, one of the first members of congress to endorse clinton for president. Senator, the state Department Released more emails this week under a lawsuit that raised serious questions about the link between the Clinton Foundation and the state department when Hillary Clinton was the secretary there. You just say that the American People have a right to know if there was a pay to play situation. Do you support the idea of an investigation . Well, first of all, lets give this context, chris. This was a right wing partisan organization Judicial Watch that has been after Hillary Clinton for decades. They got thousands of emails, they released two of them trying to give the perception of a problem. But if you really look at those recommending a former staffer for a job and other was jauss somebody who wanted to give the state department information. Theres no evidence that Hillary Clinton ever changed anything she did in the state department based on any activities of the Clinton Foundation. Theres none. Well, lets take a look at that second case that youre talking about. This involves a fellow named doug band who was a top official at the Clinton Foundation. He emails uma abedin, one of secretary aides to arrange for a man who contributed 1 million to the foundation to talk to a top u. S. Official. Senator mccaskill, you dont have a problem with big donors to the Foundation Getting favors from the state department . Well, first of all, all this gentleman wanted to do was give information. Hes asking for nothing. But we dont know that. Thats what gilbert shah gory says. Give back millions of dollars. He says he wanted to talk to tell them about what his insight into the election in lebanon. We dont know if thats true. Well, we do know this. We know theres no evidence based on what the state department has said in the last few days based on all of the investigations that have been done around an unprecedented release of emails in government. That there are no laws that have been broken. There was no evidence there was any pay frankly, this is a distraction for
