campaign, he is campaigning with donald trump tonight. he's going to join me tomorrow on varney and company. that's on the fox business network, 9:00 a.m. to noon. we start promptly. the five is next. i'm greg gutfield with kennedy, williams, and street lamp, perino, the five. according to politico, a thing, hillary clinton aims to run out the clock with 75 days until election day. when you look at where she is now in the context of a campaign, that's like a quarterback taking a knee at the start of the fourth quarter. so rather than persuasively dispel accusations of cronyism, she puts a closed early and hides in a crawl space under the stairs. the campaign slogan is, i'm with

her, but it should be, where'd she go? she's less visible than pluto, on the run longer than whitey bulger, even waldo is wondering where in the world she is. here's why hillary's in hiding, she's planning on trump being trump and trump counts on her scannedle to explode. each secret weapon happens to be each other. they're playing chicken with their own flaws banking on the other's mistakes. who's winning? hillary assumes we'll all grow board of the e-mails, afterwall, there's no tape. there's no visual, but trump, he's a walking spectacle. the opposite of boring. his deeds always hijack the spotlight. that's a trend that hillary could ride until november, except for three obs kms. the debates. when the empress of e-mails meets captain excitement, try running out the clock on that stage with no candy crowley in

site. welcome to the show. >> thank you, show. >> i used everybody's last names in honor of you. >> thank you. >> do you think this is a good strategy for her to go into hiding, she's like julian assange. >> that's the only strategy she has. she was finally going away, and i think the united states and the world breathes a collective sigh of relief. she doesn't do press conferences because she says things that she'll billion held accountable for months. she always makes news for all the wrong reasons when she's does that, bad on the stump and not particularly good in debate us. all she has to do is keep her head down, get through these three debates and speaking of julian assange, we don't know what that final wikileak will hold. >> the october surprise, eric. i don't know if it's coming, but who knows. >> so hillary clinton's not hiding. she's not closed for business, what she is doing though is she's fundraising, she's in hollywood, she's in the hamptons, she's on the upper east side. she's putting together a war

chest, as you want aly point out, going to have a hard time. trump like him or hate him, he will go after it, he won't shy down. then after the debates or in between, she's going to have to spend money on ads and try to clean up the naesz she's going to leave on the debate stage. important to know, we talked about this yesterday and i wrote about it a little bit was donald trump got to louisiana to talk to the flood victims, president obama got to louisiana to talk to the flood victims. hillary clinton is on her, in her private meetings, cocktail parties raising big money. i hear there was a water fountain at the cocktail party. so at least she got to some body of water, dana. and i think with that counts for something. i always think about this thing if this was going to be a problem, why did the dnc continue with her? i mean, you know what i mean, if this e-mail thing was going to be such a catastrophe, wouldn't they have -- >> well i don't know if they

knew at the time. i don't think there were many democrats, like if joe biden known it was going to be this bad, if anybody had any clue that that was going to be -- they would be in this situation, would they have changed things? possibly, but i'll say no, they have had this machine ready to go since 2008 we had barack obama won and she was going to be the heir. she is raising a ton of money, and it's not just for her own campaign, she's now giving that money to congressional campaigns and senate campaigns where republicans are now seeing those races tighten and now you have nate silver saying that the republicans only have 40% chance of keeping the majority. so she's basically figuring out a way to if she becomes president, to have a lot of friends in the congress to help her get done whatever she wants to get done. so, it's frustrating that she doesn't talk to the media. i don't understand why the dnc didn't do more to deal with this e-mail issue before now because hillary clinton knows what's in there. or maybe -- or maybe she

doesn't. maybe she doesn't remember. i don't know, but they could have done a lot more to probably play bull work against it. >> i keep hearing sirens. >> i know. >> they're coming for you. i hear that. >> i think i'm in trouble. >> i didn't do anything. >> but to reflex, one, okay, do you think that this is going to work? the fact -- she's counting on us being bored silly by the e-mails. and you are too, aren't you? >> i am. >> yes. but trump throws a lot of stuff out there. eric's right, trump's exciting, mr. excitement, by the way, he's going to get smashed on the debate stage. >> we'll see. >> i heard that in the primaries too. >> no, no, no, in the primaries -- >> hillary -- >> so smart -- >> no, no -- >> how is she going to get smashed? how is he going to get smashed by her? >> because she'll ask about his hands. >> yeah, that really worked. >> that really will work. >> she will try to bore him to death in the debates. and the only thing she's got is being a fact-checking busy body

and that worked for her against bernie sanders because he didn't want to offend her, but trump, and nate said they can't find someone to step in as his stand-in for debate practice because he's so loco. and if he can employ it just make work to his benefit -- >> no. it's not going to work. >> completely different debaters. >> you know how we talk about crooked hillary, hillary's not trust worthy, that's her weakness, that's why trump is talking about things like the charity, the e-mail, you know, even suggested she doesn't have the stamina to go forward, right? everything, he's throwing everything at the wall. trump's weakness is people thinking he's loco. they also think other negative things about him, so if he comes on stage and acts the fool, people say that's donald trump, that's why i'm not voting for him. so i don't think that's a successful strategy. >> well, we will see. >> we will see. shall we hear from charles kraut hammer about the e-mail situation and the clinton foundation and other things? charles, please tell us

something. >> what matters is we're there as a result of giving money to the clintons. the answer is yes, and that is in itself damning, maybe not illegal, but damning. the point of getting money is to get access. we accept that in our. access were considered a quid pro quo, the jails would be groaning with politicianings. up until now, made access which by tradition and convention, we seem to accept as corrupt, perhaps, but not illegal. >> corrupt, but not illegal. >> so if it's not illegal, then what is? i mean access is one thing, but we've already found it goes beyond access. the access leads to the deals. and the deals are is the quo, the quid pro quo, you have a deal that's consummated based on the pay-for-access. you've excluded other people who want to do the deal in wall street terms, that's insider

trading-like. there are so many things -- >> wait, wait, wait, i'm waiting for you to tell me. here's the quid pro quo that gets it. >> when gm drops money in the clinton foundation, and ends up with a plant in algeria that other people may have wanted to do business with. >> and the government doe nanat money. >> or when boeing has a deal with the russian because of some russian money that goes into the clinton foundation, they've excluded airbus, they've ex -- >> but that's not true. there's no evidence of that. what you have is evidence that boeing may have given somebody -- >> we have evidence of payment for access and then we have a deal list after the payment. that's quid pro quo. >> access is a problem. >> i don't need help. >> you do because you're not making it. okay so there's access, people who paid, according to to the ap, had higher level of access. now the campaign today, or yesterday came out and said, the ap numbers are skewed, they're

cherry picking those, let's just go -- >> the campaign's wrong about that. >> i don't think so by the way. >> it's clear they only went after half of what was there. >> 156 occasions, 85 happen to be paid for, and these are all times that were not state department -- >> eric, she had 17,000 meetings. 1700. and the state department -- >> and she had 184 with non-government. they look at the 184 -- >> can i make a very quick analogy here. very briefly. >> juan, juan. >> take the 1700 out, that's business that she had to do anyway. >> leave the 1700 in for this, very quickly. if i'm the serial killer and i say to you, i have, i have paid for the services of over 4,000 streetwalkers. and i have only decapitated three of them, so that is 39,9. streetwalkers walking the street and you are only cherry picking the ones who no longer breathe or have heads.

how dare you, cherry picking. >> i love your analogy because it's fascinating and scandalous, but in terms of this event here with hillary clinton, you guys have yet to say oh here is a deal -- >> i just gave you three deals. >> because somebody put money in her pocket. >> what about uranium one. >> that's not a deal. >> that is a deal if you are the russian government who owns the world's uranium rights. >> dana, last word on this, is this ever going to get beyond bickering? are they going to say this is illegal, quid pro quo or what? >> i don't know. in one of the examples it would have been better if the win plant had gone to a foreign company and not an american company. are you doing your job as a state department, secretary if that happens. the clinton campaign might try to make that case. if they have to start going point by point, it could get, one, boring, two, possibly much more interesting from their perspective, they could say look what we did on behalf of america, or, it could be even

worse because one of the things that red state wrote about today was hillary clinton and this whole idea of running out the clock, it really is pretty gross what they were doing. the ap and other judicial watch asked for her schedule way back in april, and hillary clinton people had said -- >> three years ago, three years ago. >> and it is just so difficult to do it. and slow walked it to this point because she knew that this problem of this question of who she met with, if there was a connection with the clinton foundation was going to come tout to try to get it past the election, now it's coming home to roost right in the sweet spot. >> so that's the problem. which is the opt oiks, you know, that's to a political term. gimpb the fact that people already have high level of distrust and that her opponents are so critical of her. it's opened up, you know, a nightmare for her, and from my perspective, i think it is. i think the boston globe is right to say they should shut down that foundation. >> why? >> why? because it opens up the door. the kind of question you're asking. >> it's questionable now, why

wasn't it questionable 2009 to 13 when she was secretary of state? >> i agree with you, i think it was questionable all along, but i'm saying there's no evidence that there's actual law-breaking. >> shut it down. >> because you know what, the appearance is so bad. >> shut this down. and because we're going to be talking about this for a long time. might as well save some of it. anyway. donald trump admits he's softening his approach on illegal immigration and you'll hear why, next.

soon, she'll type the best essays in the entire 8th grade. get back to great. sixteen gig lexar flash drives just three ninety-nine. office depot officemax. gear up for school. gear up for great.

donald trump has won a lot of praise and faced criticism for his tough stance on immigration. he's now signaling he's open to altering his hard line policy on illegals. here's what he told sean hannity last night. >> there certainly could be a softening because we're not looking to hurt people, we want people -- we have some great people in this country. we have some great, great people in this country. so, but we're going to follow the laws of this country. people don't realize -- what people don't realize, we have very, very strong laws. >> yeah, but obama doesn't follow them. >> they don't follow them. but we're going to follow the laws. >> take it around the table,

greg, your thoughts on -- is this a big change? >> i think it's -- here's the thing. trump got tricked into con flating two issues, it was about future illegal immigration and it got him talking about the present illegal immigration situation. you always should be looking at the future first and then talking about what you do now. he got in that stop and started talking about deportation it was a mistake, but no him, everything is a negotiation. the problem is there's no one on the other side of the table. so when he's negotiating, there's nobody saying, except for, you know, some critics, but there's no negotiation, he ends up having to negotiate with himself when makes his skrits fr -- schizophrenic. called him rhinos for disagreeing now are now going to be okay with this. >> dana, so he's stuck in this situation where if he stayed hardline people wouldn't like him, if he pivots, people will say hey you're a flip-flopper.

>> who stays? i read that entire transcript, and he takes every side of the issue. so it doesn't matter -- like at this point, you know, i don't know ral what he would come down, he hasn't put pen to paper. it was interesting, yes, true, during the primary, he's now taking, you were called somebody who was for amnesty and somebody who was just trying to do the democrats bidding. okay. maybe that's fine, but get this, and this is something i kept going back to in the exit polls, of the 28 states where there were gop exit polls, immigration was the fourth most important issue out of four issues. the first one was economy, then government spending, then terrorism, then immigration. and also in 20 of the states, i asked this additional question, should most illegal immigrants be offered a chance to apply for legal status or deported to the country where they came from? 53% of people said, and this is republicans, remember, in the primaries, 53% of republicans say they should be offered a chance to stay here legally, not

deported. so perhaps trump now has got to a point where the rest of the republican party was or the majority of the republican party, but, he's already made hispanic population so mad that he's down to like a 12% approval rating with them. he needs to do better. >> approval rating, juan, he's polling around 22, 23%, much below where mccain and romney were, lower than mccain was. >> right. so, but the question is you call people rapists and thieves, and suggest that everybody's cousin, aunt, and grandmother should be thrown out and you're going to create a deportation force. you don't have -- well, sincerity to rely on in speaking to that audience. i don't think he's speaking to that audience. in the next segment, how he's speaking to black america right now. i think all of this is trying to speak to the dana perino's of the world, he wants independented minded republican women to take another look and say you no e what, he's not this

racist guy, he's not an anti-immigrant guy, and maybe, maybe i could really consider donald trump approaching labor day. >> kennedy. >> i think the problem is when you have such a firm stance and you do something that even appears to be a reversal, people have a hard time trusting other issues that you've bought into. that they agree with you on. and i think, you know, what he's trying to do right now is appeal to independents and he absolutely has to. you know, not to mention -- i think he could write off the hispanic and black vote because his numbers are so low. really only 8% of african americans say they're going to vote for donald trump and he's making a big push as we will discuss in label the, but he has to reach out to the independents. and i think this is one of the shifts you're seeing with the change at the top with manafort out and kellyanne conway and bannon, this is bearing fruit and they're telling him, you have to stay on message about a few things, soften in other areas. so he's hitting hillary on pay-to-play and he's been

disciplined. hasn't given her the missteps and here he's making himself. >> quick thing tonight, o'reilly, mike pence, also ruben and a trump advisor, steve cortez, going to ask him about this, what is the new stance and whether it's working or not. trump also told hannity he'd be happy top sit down with the leader of mexico to talk immigration. >> by the way, the current president of mexico said he would meet with you. will you meet with him? >> yeah sure, i'd meet with him. >> absolutely. they're not going to write you a check. how do you get them to pay for the wall? >> on trade, they're killing us. they're killing us. they're killing us at the border and killing us on trade. we have a trade deficit of close to $60 billion a year. so right there you can build the wall because the wall is a fraction of that. >> bring it around this way, kennedy, thoughts on this one. >> i hope they televise the meeting between he and the president nieto. that could be as fascinating as

the debates. >> throw in a little fox in the meeting as well. >> yeah. >> you couldn't throw him in, he's got such a filthy mouth. fox considers himself to be, you know, a real free market, free trade kind of person, and it's interesting because donald trump is so much of an isolationists with this stuff that we'll see if he makes a pivot in that direction as well. the opposite direction. >> you know what i was curious, i thought the reason we should televise it is because the president of the mexico said he's the equivalent of hitler. maybe the explosive debate stage donald will emerge, that would be wwe tv. but i think the problem for donald is that he's got to keep the base that he excited by talking about build a wall. he's never backed off build a wall. then he's got to keep that base in terms of punish people who already in the country, and instead, he's now, i think under the guidance of kellyanne conway trying to say hey, let's try to

be softer. let's try to be more understanding. we don't want to the hurt good people and families, but that's not going to play with the base that feels like he's flip-flopping on them. >> does he risk his base by doing this? >> doesn't sound like it. just listening to the town hall, you get cheers for saying that if you're a president of the united states you would be willing to meet with another foreign leader. that should be standard. yes, of course a president of the united states should be willing to meet with an ally, which is mexico. >> okay. that i can one step further. so if the base say donald trump, or this very, very energized base, he can soften and still keep them and maybe open up to the independent who says, i like this new softer trump. >> the base should be prepared for donald trump relinquishing many of his beliefs because at the bottom line, all positions for him are negotiations. and those negotiations are based on one premise, who will love me more? donald trump is running for president to be loved and liked, and there's nothing better than

strange new respect when all of the sudden you come out and find out the president of the mexico, we're great buddies, forget the wall, we're building a golf course. >> cross border golf course. >> let's leave it right there on that one. part two with sean hannity's town hall on immigration tonight, 10:00 p.m. eastern. up next, some breaking news to bring you, iran yan vessels reportedly harassing a u.s. navy ship. the details when the five returns. energy is a complex challenge. people want power. and power plants account for more than a third of energy-related carbon emissions. the challenge is to capture the emissions before they're released into the atmosphere. exxonmobil is a leader in carbon capture.

this is a fox news alert. this video that you see right now is of yet another incident overseas involving iran and one

of our ships. four iranian revolutionary guard vessels harassed our destroyer yesterday near the strait of hormuz. closing within a short distance. our destroyer was conducting a routine transit in the vicinity of the internationally recognized strait. >> wow. >> blow them out of the water. get rid of them. that's the strait of hormuz. that is one of the most prolific oil-shipping channels. it may be the most prolific channels in the world. they start playing around like that. this has happened before. they've mined and threatening the u.s. warships, the aircraft carriers and destroyers telling us that they were going to blow it up. it's time. >> why does it have to be strait? it's so heteronormative. >> but here's the thing -- >> hormuz. >> here's the thing. the next sound five short blasts with the ship's whistle to warn

the vessels that they were creating a dangerous situation. then the nitz had to alter it's course away from the iranian vessel as it closed within 300 yards. that's how close we came to a major international incident. and at that point, it was the nitz that said, you know, we are preventing your action from escalating, and they've judged this to be complained that it's unprofessional, unethical behavior. >> and that never worked. . never works. it's like they know exactly how america responds. we're always the sane one or the restrained one. maybe it is -- i mean, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea once in while to sink one of them. just sink one of them. >> remember when they captured a group of our sailers. >> and humiliated them. >> turns out the sailors were two cooperative with the iranians. would you go with the suggestion that a muscular response would be appropriate? >> i don't know if we have enough facts to determine that at the moment --

>> who needs facts? we just find this out, dana. i'm just operating on nothing, i have nothing to go on. >> i really should change professions. so i think that our military exercise is amazing restraint and for good reason. is it necessary to create a major international incident at this moment with them over this? i don't know. obviously this is going to continue. they use footage like this as part of their propaganda back home to just show how they are have a one-up on the united states, and kind of gave them that with all of the other things that we've dolled out to them. i mean, $400 million was not enough, apparently. $400 million bought them new skiffs and jet skis. that's impressive marine ri i think they're showing right through there. maybe they took some of our guys, maybe instead of -- and also, i have think wwbtd here. what would president trump do?

i think he would allow sinking of the ships. maybe we should gather those people, force them to learn how to play rugby and humiliate them that way, and then create a statue from front of the san diego zoo and their likeness and ask iran, how does that feel? >> let me suggest to you -- >> i like that. >> i'll tell you what, kennedy, you play the media. president trump says -- >> that's a lie. >> well done. >> i think you blew me out of the water. but let's say, i'll play one out, let's say president trump says, united states military, it's not even a contest, we'll crush these guys in a millisecond, but, but, i do worry about consequences throughout the middle east and the world if we do that. >> as the media, kennedy's right, you're wrong no matter what you do if you're president, president any republican, you're always going to be wrong in this, but what do you suggest? juan, keep letting the iranians do this crap? didn't the chinese do it? didn't the russians buzz a

couple destroyers as well. when are they going to take the next step? when are they going to go ahead and hit bun of us? >> i think our military -- i'm not trying to be like super patriot, i think our military's the best. >> so what should they do? >> we spend more, we have more, we have the technology, the ships -- >> do you know why we're there? >> yes, we're protecting trade shipping lanes. >> we're making sure the world price of oil is 25 or $30 a barrel and not $235 a barrel, which the iranians would like to have. so do we continue to let them play games with our warships? >> are they trying to provoke us to get us to act in a way that would be counter to our best power? >> how many times does a guy know you're on the playground when you finally turn around and get him. >> he might secretly like you though. >> he was pulling his pigtail. >> looking for directions. this is the challenge of doing the five when you just get a story with one page of notes and we're going, we're doing good. >> we are doing good.

>> i'm trying to stretch it. you know. >> one. >> can we speak to the rational person at the table, dana perino, help us. >> i do think that the iranians will continue to do this, and especially when you are entering into a transition period between administrations. for some reason, even though we've had 200-year history of peaceful transition. there is a sense by world leaders who would want to maybe harm us that there is instability when you are moving from one administration to the next. whoever it's going to be. and so they try to show, you know, like they want to show a little flex a little muscle against us, and i think restraint is probably right, although, my concern is that we could be so restrained to a point that one of our people gets hurt. and then that's another question. like what are you preemptively acted because of this dangerous behavior is harm in america, then it would be a whole different ball game. >> you're not kidding. ahead, a teacher bans

and so is this teacher on to something? homework could be scrapped. i mean, we have a mom here, kennedy, you like this idea. >> i love this idea. and this is for second graders. >> and oftentimes in early elementary school, kids still have an hour-plus of homework a night. it can be frustrating i agree, there is no correlation between the work of homework and success in the classroom. it can frustrate a student and a parent because now with common corps, they purposefully try to box parents out of any sort of homework. and they don't give you concrete examples, especially in math, so you're unable to help your child, and that leads to further frustration, it's also, and i know teachers are not going to want to hear this, it's lazy on the part of teachers. they should finish the work in the classroom. instead, switch to project-based learning. and that's much more reflective of how to society is right now and not this 19th century german system that school is based on now. >> the only homework i had in second grade, greg, i think was my spelling test.

or maybe i had to read something, but then i got a gold star. so i would always do that. >> mine was always back rubs. >> yeah. >> they didn't distinguish between good homework and bad homework. we think about busy work that we sit down and you go through the ensigh cloe media, but the good homework and the stuff that i remember, the things that you look forward to are projects that involve your friends or problem solving and going off and doing something. and the lesson in life you want every kid to learn is to combine pleasure with work. if you can find something you like to do that is productive and you can enjoy it for the rest of your life, you've got it made and i mean, afterschool, i wrote short stories and i enjoyed it and i became a writer. and if you can find something that you like to do. and i think teachers can make that happen, that's good homework. >> after school, i would play school. and i would make up all these problems and i would make up spelling tests and things like that, juan, you're an education
