8:01 am
>> the f.b.i. believes you tried to wipe the entire server. >> my personal emails are my personal business. right? we under over 30 pages of anything we thought could be there under the law. >> did you wipe the server? >> with a cloth or something? i know you want to make a point and i can just repeat what i said. in order to be as cooperative as possible, we have turned over the server, they can do of what they want to with the server to figure out what's there or not there. jenna: ed henry is the one asking those questions of
8:02 am
hillary clinton, and he joins us from las vegas. your interview with hillary clinton has led the newscast because of the dynamic of the conversation. what do you think is a big headline coming from your he can change with her -- coming from your -- coming from your exchange with her. >> i asked her a direct, plain, fair question which is did you wipe the server. number one, someone tried to wipe the server, number one, and number two, the f.b.i. believes they have the forensics to get the data back. the fact that she couldn't answer directly whether she did or not was stunning number one. number two, she kept shifting into other things. this was about my personal email. but this happened. this is a bureaucrat i can thing over what as classified or not. it happens all the time.
8:03 am
as you well know, jenna, this does not happen all the time. this is a unique situation hillary clinton is involved in. i have know of no cabinet secretary who had a personal server in her personal home. she said there was no classified information on the server. now we know they are making -- there may be hundreds of emails with classified information. she says she doesn't know because it wasn't marked. but the f.b.i. is going through that, who wiped it and why did they wipe it. a lot of big questions coming. jenna: she notoriously hasn't answered a lot of questions. how did this impromptu q & a come about? who else was in the room? >> reporter: there were maybe a few hundred people at a town hall in the north side of las vegas. the press was in the back of the room. before the event we got an indication she might come back
8:04 am
and take a few questions from us, by the was uncertain. we thought she might do it in large part because she is going to the hamptons for a week and a half or two weeks. weir we were talking amongst ourselves that she wanted to shape the narrative because she'll be down and off the campaign trail for a couple weeks. she left after the town hall and did an interview with a network, then came back. they cleared the hall of all the town hall people. we were sitting in one row of chairs in front her. she was 10 or 15 feet from us. when they called on my i was surprised. i think i finally got an interview, i guess. jenna: what an interview it was. curious to the reaction inside the room. to the joke she made about wiping the server clean with a cloth.
8:05 am
was there any notable reaction to that? and after this exchange happened, have you heard from the clinton team? did they want to clarify anything she had to say to you? >> reporter: two things on that. after previous exchanges with hillary clinton i have gotten a lot of the blow-back, why did you interrupt her at that event in iowa. this time i got a call and i didn't get blowback. i was told they thought the questions were fair, they were direct. tonighpolitico * says there are democratic donors of hillary clinton watching this exchange saying why couldn't she answer some of those questions. i don't want to use the word panic, but the concern is is the front runner shored up. number two, in fairness to them, they are saying, we answered this question about the server a long time ago when hillary clinton and her attorney david
8:06 am
kendall previously told congress information was removed from this server. there is a difference between the leading in the emails and totally wiping it so there is no data on there. but number two. if they had addressed this before as her campaign is saying. then why couldn't a candidate answer that basic question. they already answered it, it's no longer a looming question. i asked five or six times, did you wipe the server and she couldn't answer. it's baffling to democrats saying why didn't she answer. jenna: the reaction to her wiping the server with the cloth, did that go over well? >> reporter: in the room nobody reacted to me. but i have gotten lot of questions with not just republicans but democrats saying why did she do that.
8:07 am
it reminded them of the snap chat joke. and she said, messages disappear. this was friday night. then she joked about it and joked about it again yesterday. i think it might have fallen flat. people are saying here is your chance to address it. why are you joking about it. jenna: that's been a pattern we have seen of her trying to answer these questions using humor. we'll see where it grows here as there are still remaining questions. nice work, though. that was great and we look forward to more to come. gregg: he's a tough questioner. republican frontrunner donald trump igniting a fiery debate over immigration. taking a tough stand in propose something ways to solve problems with the system. first he proposed that mexico
8:08 am
pay for a wall across our southern border. another idea would end birth right citizenship to the children of illegal aliens. >> reporter: some republicans are rejecting these elements of trump's plan. and a few are cite sizes those supporting trusm as the trump candidacy dictates a significant portion of the trump's agenda. louisiana governor bobby jindal tweeting his endorsement of the idea monday. scott walker seemed to endorse it. but regarding the legality of trump's plan, the gop frontrunner continuing pushing it. >> we have to start a process
8:09 am
where we fake back our country. our country is going to hell. >> reporter: fellow republicans say trump's plan and those who support it are putting the republican party at a disadvantage. >> i disagree with them. you cannot remove citizenship from people. you can't get the government in the business of picking disfavored people and citizenship. it's wrong and it's in violation of the 14th amendment. >> reporter: he says trump's plan is gibberish and it will kill the republican party. gregg: is donald trump's plan realistic or is it off base. karl rove will join to us give his take.
8:10 am
jenna: more than 100 large fires burning in states like california, idaho, montana and washington. about 50 shows evacuated in northwest spokane as fire raced through 50 acres. it took hours for firefighters to control the flames. crews are working longer hours and doing all they can. >> we are working 7 days a week, 10-plus hours a day. that's with no fires. crews today will be putting in a 12 to 14 to 16-hour day. jenna: the information information wayne patterson joins me now. how is it going today? >> it's still going pretty good. i'm nervous about it.
8:11 am
the fires are likely to grow and take in two more fires. jenna: how are your resources? >> they are good. we have 139 firefighters in this complex right now. jenna: as far as the endurance to fight the flames. just endurance to keep going when the fires are lasting for so long and threatening so many different areas. >> this is what we can do. we have 14 days on and 2 days off and going back again and starting the next 14. we know this is a long fire season. we could be going into october. so the firefighters are taking it slow but steady and making it sure that --
8:12 am
jenna: you spent 40 years in this business. compare this season to past seasons you have seen. >> we end up with these seasons every once in a while. they seem to be closer together the last 10 years than they have been previously. it's one of those challenging kinds of things we have to continue to work through, continue to build our capacity to handle these things. jenna: that's something we have to talk about. that was called a fire twirl. we'll talk about that as well. we'll be talking about that later on in the program. we'll see you. the best of luck to you and your firefighters. gregg: police are asking for the public's help finding a third suspect captured on his surveillance videotape involved in what investigators are calling a horrific murder.
8:13 am
donald trump facing more controversy over his immigration proposals. even as some republican candidates support him, political analysts are raising deep concerns about alienating hispanic voters. we'll get car roves take just ahead. do you have agree with the immigration policies of donald trump? our live chase you have and running. just go to foxnews.com/hatching now to join the conversation.
8:16 am
8:17 am
oscar pistorius will not be released this friday. he has he spent the last 10 months of a five-year sentence behind bars for the fatal shooting of his girlfriend. prosecutors called for a review. in chilling surveillance. gregg: the presidential contenders are take direct aim at donald trump's controversial immigration plans. how will immigration figure in the 2016 presidential election? let's bring in karl rove. george w. bush is also a fox
8:18 am
news contributor. do you worry that hispanics because of trump and his hard line on immigration will view the entire party in the 2016 election, republicans with hostility? >> i do worry about it some. but let's put this in perspective. in trump's plan there are seven element which virtually all of the republican candidate support. increasing the number of border patrol agents and reestablishing strong links between border control agents and local law enforcement. set up e-verify. deport criminal aliens. end catch and release where we take people who are not members cans, if they get caught they get released on their own recognizance. we ended it under the obama
8:19 am
administration. those element are in the trump plan and awe adopted by and supported by all or virtually all of the candidate. there are, how, a series of proposals in trump's plan that do create problems and controversies and that's where the differences are between the candidate. >> he takes dogmatic and strident rhetoric to the table. he's getting a lot of attention. he's leading in the polls. he says things like they have got to go, referring to illegal immigrant and that doesn't seem to match what americans believe. put it up on the screen. this was a fox news poll, deport as many as possible along the lines donald trump is suggesting though he says they all have to go. that 30%. set up a system to become legal.
8:20 am
64%. so isn't he running strongly against the general elect grain? >> absolutely. he's running against the graifnt republicans. in july gallup did a poll. 0% of republicans said people who are here illegally could remain if they met specified requirements. 31% said deport them all. my suspicion that 31% would be a smaller number. if you take children of illegal aliens born in the youth and you ship them out of the country as well with their families. they have a constitutional right under the 14th amendment to u.s. citizenship having been born on u.s. soil. in texas there was a series of stories of val deck tore yants
8:21 am
of our high schools who would be forced to leave. gregg: trump on o'reilly suggested it wouldn't hold up. it may be news to mr. trump that it has been tested in the course. u.s. versus wong. but apparently trump is oblivious to that. >> he says he has experts and it might be useful to put forward those experts and make the case for him. but this is a long-established constitutional right. we get to the question of the wall. we have self hundred miles along the texas border in the big bend area that are literally cliffs, 300 or 400 feet tall. there are parts of the rio grande river. are we going to wall off the

8:25 am
jenna: we have reports of two people unaccounted for after a gas explosion at this motel 6 in bremerton, washington. a passerby reported the gas leak and authority say dozens of people were scrambling to get out when the building blew up. >> there was a roofort routine gas leak near the motel 6. fire responded which is their
8:26 am
normal protocol. the gas company came out and were working on the gas line and at 8:24 p.m. the explosion occurred. there was significant damage to the motel. jenna: the former volunteer firefighter recognized the danger. she pulled the alarm and started moving people away from the building and likely saved a lot of lives. gregg: sending your kids to college is expensive and the cost continues to climb every year. even the least expensive school on the list will set you back $25,000. gerri willis has some tips on paying that tuition. and, boy, i could use those tips. >> reporter: gregg, good to see you. let me show you some of the
8:27 am
details out of this study. they are look at tuition, room and board in each state. the most expensive school in every state. the most expensive, california's harvey mudd over $67,000. in new york columbia university. and the university of chicago, the home of a lot of economists at $64,000 and change. even if you look at the least expensive colleges on his list, we are still look at very expensive schools. the university of which, 25,000. 23 of 50 of these schools charged in excess of $60,000. that number blew me away. it's no wonder total student debt is $1.9 trillion. you should regard these prices, they are a sticker price.
8:28 am
they are a suggested price. the smartest moms and dads are negotiating these numbers. what we are seeing is some of these entering freshman classes are smaller than they used to be. there is a lot of competition. i don't advise you have calling it a negotiation but you can express your interest in the school but say i can't pay that number. i want to go but i can't make it. gregg: the director of admissions unrelated to my children told me they will work with parents and if they say, we can't do this even though we are over the threshold level of income, they will find a way to make it work. so your tips are great. gerri willis. >> reporter: parents have some power here, they should use it. gregg: when you consider the billions in endowments.
8:29 am
jenna: an arrest warrant issued in a deadly bombing. the grad watch an elite new england prep school on trial for rape. what his safe user told the court about a sexual contest at the court. our legal paneling takes it up next. everyone loves the picture i posted of you. at&t reminds you it can wait.
8:33 am
gregg: engineers are doing something you underneath a lake. courtroom chaos when a man goes after his accused attacker right in front of the judge. canada patrick with a new role. jenna: police issued an arrest warrant for the suspect in a deadly bombing earlier this week. >> reporter: thai police announced they were searching for a foreign man in relation to monday's bombing raising the prospect this may have been committed by external groups. they also released a sketch of the bomber though they were quick to add the man could have been wearing a disguise. yesterday's attack at the shrine killed 20 people and injured 12
8:34 am
some. many of them frother countries. 26 million people and 56,000 americans visit the country every year and it's heavily relights on tourism. the bomber was caught on cttv leaving his backpack minutes before the bomb went off. police say the bomb was clearly part after network and they identified two of the suspects. the bombing doesn't follow the pattern of previous domestic attacks. there has been unrest in the country from an opposition movement known as the redshirts but knight for group has ever launched an attack on bangkok on this scale. the prime minister's office announced an army of undercover officers has been deexplosived
8:35 am
across the city. it remains to be seen if this is part of a wider increasing domestic attack. there has been an increase in islamic extremism in southeast asia so that connection remains to be made. gregg: the accuser in the prep school rape trial telling her side of the story to the jury of today. just as attorneys for owen labrie tried to discredit her by using her emails and text messages before and after the alleged attack. she testified about the senior salute tradition where senior boys make sexual conquests of younger girls before graduation. good to see you both. if it can be prove on the satisfaction of the jury there was this sick game of conquest,
8:36 am
senior sliewfting it was called. if it can be proven they were using words like slaying girls and so forth, that's pretty four full evidence against the defendant, isn't it? >> it is powerful evidence. but it doesn't matter whether there was this game or wasn't. what the jurors have to decide is what happen in that secluded mechanical room far apart from everybody on that day at that time. gregg: rebecca, the emails i spoke of in the intro, the defense is using these and cross examining the accuser with them. emails that show he's talking to her about having sex. she declined but writes only if it's our little secret. could that be evidence of consent? >> it certainly -- the defense is going to try to frame it that
8:37 am
way. and text messages from after this events where she was continuing to text the defendant and say things that seemed in isolation like maybe she liked him and was not upset about what happened. the defense will try to take the focus off this creepy st. palms tradition of trying to score with girls and make the defendant look like a nice guy who was hook up with a girl who wanted to hook up with him and was not trying to forcibly rape anyone. gregg: it's a he said, she said when there aren't eyewitnesses. lawyers and jurors turn to emails. but afterwards. after the alleged rape in which there is all this casual banter that's punctuated with hah, hah, hahs, by her. doesn't that undermine her claim? >> it does.
8:38 am
but, gregg, as you know, jurors are excellent at separating thee wheat from the chaff. they are spent at evaluating whether someone is telling the truth. there is no scientific literature saying how people are supposed to act after they are the victim of an assault. playground politics and how you are perceived in school is very important to a young teen, especially a 15-year-old girl. gregg: it's expected the defense will argue she falsely cried rape in retaliation because our little secret was no secret. it got out to, you know, the playground populace. so rebecca, that's a pretty persuasive argument, isn't it? >> it will be up to the jury to
8:39 am
decide whether they think the girl may be not telling the truth here or changing her story for reasons like this. these are hard cases for jurors. but it does happen that women change their view of what happened after the fact. before it also happens that everybody respond different think to these scary events. gregg: i wonder how many high-profile cases, cases in which fake alleged victims, i'm thinking of the duke lacrosse case, she made it all up and did great damage to the lacrosse members of the duke team. how much of that comes into play in the mind of the jurors and behind closed doors in deliberations. jurors say women do make this stuff up? >> they do. but they are very good at deciding the truth. and the trial is ultimately a
8:40 am
search for the truth and the judge is going to tell them they are supposed to leave their passions and prejudices and preconceived notions at the courthouse steps and tomorrow examine in their deliberations the evidence that is presented during the trial, during this trial. but you can't leave your entire past experience behind you. they bring that with them. gregg: let me come back full circle that this was a sick game among upper classmen at the prep school and it was a contest to decide who could have more sexual conquests and using horrible word like slain in reference to having sex with girls. could that suggest that the defendant wasn't at all concerned with consent, just winning the game? >> absolutely. that's what the prosecution is going to try and show, that the
8:41 am
defendant was a jerk trying to score points in a game and didn't care about this girl. they have got some document of their own that they will try to present to the court and it will color things. but the defense will be saying no, this game isn't what you think or didn't mean that so this kid on this day, he was trying to see how many girls he could kiss. it will be up to the jury to decide. but it will affect the jury. just how disturbing the idea this game is and that's out there. lit change how this kid plays out. gregg: he said-she said where it's just circumstantial evidence. it's a rough hurdle for prosecutors to get over. thank you so much for being with us. jenna: disorder in court. a witness and defense tussling in front of the judge.

7th from the center for medical progress. it features a woman named haley o'donnell. she says she worked in a plan the parenthood clinic in california. she described a situation where her supervisor brought a late-term fetus following an abortion. its heart ban beating again and then this. >> she said this is a good fetus. we are going to puncture the brain. >> reporter: reacting to the allegations, the national director. says kermit gosnell is serving
