3:01 am
for the family scandal. there will be no homework this year. instead, a teacher wants students to spend time with their families. that teacher will join us live. the kids, they'll be with their families. your mornings are better with friends. hi everybody. welcome to studio e. another busy day on the election trail. if you look at the polls, they're getting real tight. >> one has them one apart and one three apart. all seem to be within the margin. >> donald trump, everyone said he's had the best week yet throughout his campaign. maybe it's paying off. >> part of the poll yesterday it was -- >> today, donald trump pulled in a high stakes meeting to win over minority voters. >> this after promising no amnesty at a town hall. >> peter doocy is live outside
3:02 am
of trump tower. hey, peter. >> good morning, ainsley. the centerpiece of donald trump's immigration plan is still that border wall. but we are getting new details now about what he would do with people who came to this country illegally but hasn't been caught breaking any other laws. >> now we have the person 20 years, been an upstanding person, the family is great, everyone is great. do we throw them out or do we work with them snoo go a step further. they'll pay back taxes, they have to pay taxes. there's no amnesty as such. there's no amnesty. but we work with them. >> reporter: trump got live feedback from the crowd about whether or not they wanted to deport people who don't have long criminal records. the group down there in texas responded well. meanwhile, trump is continuing to court african-american voters. even just talking about how he
3:03 am
thinks democratic lawmakers have failed inner cities. he's planning to show them there are plans in the works to go to a part of detroit he has described as a war zone and get a walking tour of that neighborhood with dr. ben carson within the next few weeks. here at trump tower today, meanwhile, trump will sit down with a roundtable of young republicans mostly millennials and minorities, the public leadership initiative. it's something that plans to get people involved with the process who may not have otherwise been. the folks will sit down with trump before -- to battleground states. >> 70-something. peter thank you very much. >> donald trump's house. >> immigration, too. we met with the debate on the stage amongst republicans. governor kasich saying you cannot kick out 10 million people and round them up. it's going to cost too much even if you intended to do so. it looks as though donald trump is realizing that.
3:04 am
maybe it will allow people like governor kasich to say now you're coming my way, maybe i can jump on. >> maybe we'll see that with him and with ted cruz ted cr. >> absolutely not. >> i meant by the time it's time to vote, ted cruz is -- maybe he'd come around. the key is that trump says no amnesty and he will build the wall. >> he might actually. when i was interviewing rick perry at the trump rally, he said he's been talking to ted cruz and it's all about forgiveness and ted cruz might be coming around. >> chicago, forgiveness? snoo? >> they say i'm sorry. does chicago ask for forgiveness? >> the group. >> that was in the '70s. let's get in the way back machine. >> maybe they sing about -- >> it's hard to get something to rhyme with cruz. >> let's move along.
3:05 am
let's cruise along to see what the clinton camp is. this is how troublesome the clinton foundation scandal is for hillary clinton. there she is right there. the clinton camp is asking the associated press to correct their tweet that talked a little bit about how during two years as secretary of state seemed like half the people who came in the door were giving her -- >> to what, steve? that's factual if you read it. >> read it. >> the a.p. says this. this was the story that made news. expandnd and -- more than half of those who met clinton as cabinet secretary, secretary of state, gave money to the clinton foundation. now they said, brian fallon and company, hillary clinton specifically says this is inaccurate. you didn't factor in all the other people who came to visit me. >> governmental people? >> the ap says listen, we've been asking for your logbooks. we figured you were doing your job. we wanted to know what private
3:06 am
people were come to go see you. >> they wouldn't give that information. the a.p. tried for three years, then they had to sue them to get that information. it turns out that half of the 185 people that weren't governmental people that she met with, more than half of them were giving money to the clinton foundation. >> the a.p. stands by their story. the reason they factored it in and didn't count from foreign nations and federal employees was because she -- >> bill clinton is trying to put a happy face on a big problem. here he is. >> we're trying to do good things. there's nothing wrong with creating jobs and saving lives. people knew what they were doing. people were crushed -- hillary meeting with -- [ inaudible ] you know, it's election season. but i feel good about it.
3:07 am
>> there he is. he says i saw people criticizing hillary for meeting with people. she did meet with people. but it looks like people paid money, got access, things happened. keep in mind, charity navigator, one of the finest organizations to figure out whether charity is -- >> legit? >> good. it's worthwhile. a year or two ago, they put the clinton foundation on a watch list for suspicious charities. in fact, another watchdog group refers to the clinton operation saying it operates like a slush fund for the clintons. that's the problem. now the press is starting to wake up and realize, hey, something smells funny here. >> you can't really figure out what the foundation does. they might be the best or the worst. but they're a unique formula. they can't be judged on the normal scale that we judge the average, the wounded warrior project. habitat for humanity. they give out grants to others. >> how do you judge it? do you have to look at the
3:08 am
people running it and look at their history? >> apparently the margin of monday spent on overhead seems to be a little high. meanwhile, if you were watching television last night, there's a good possibility you saw that dupage was onald trump jackson, mississippi. nigel ma raj is in the united kingdom. he's the one who helped brexit pass or exit from the uk. he was terrific. it would be inappropriate, he said, for him to endorse an american candidate. he made it very clear who he would not be voting for. >> if i was an american citizen, i wouldn't vote for hillary clinton if you paid me. i wouldn't vote for hillary clinton if she paid me. there are millions of ordinary americans who have been let down. they feel people aren't standing up for them. they've actually in many cases given up on the whole electoral
3:09 am
process. you can go out, you can beat the pollsters. you can beat the commentators. you can beat washington. to convince and inspire people to go out. if it was the only one and only time to vote for change. anything is possible if enough decent people are prepared to stand up against the establishment. all right. you saw what happened in the uk breaking away from the eu. it happened there. is it going to happen here? people like donald trump because he's not the establishment. >> there are parallels between what happened there and here. go out and beat the pollsters and the commentators and the establishment. he said on the day of the vote. exit was going to lose by 10 points. at the end it passed. we'll have to ask stuart varney about it. he's coming up on the show. heather childers has some headlines. >> good morning, heather. good morning to everyone at
3:10 am
home. we begin with a story we've been following all morning long. rescue crews in italy frantically digging for survivors. 250 people are dead as a result of this. you're looking live at one of the hardest hit towns. hundreds pulled from under the rubble. here's a look at one of those incredible moments. >> a little boy and a baby girl found alive after 17 hours. take a look at these before and after pictures. this tells the story of the town still dealing with aftershocks this morning. >> back at home, vice presidential nominee mike pence is waking up in indiana to deal with the devastating aftermath of eight tornadoes. take a look at this video. a starbucks completely flattenee a cardboard box. people inside the coffee shop were hiding in the bathroom and
3:11 am
miles an hour ak usually, they made it out alive. look at this video, middle schoolers waiting for the tornadoes to pass. the u.s. slamming iran for harassing our warships again. >> 300 yards. no response. weapons uncovered. man conducting. >> four iranians boats caught and getting within 300 yards. the boats finally backing off after several warning flares were set off. they called the actions unsafe and up professional. this the latest act of aggression by iran following the capture and release of ten u.s. sailors in january. the serviceman killed in a roadside bombing earlier this week in afghanistan has been identified. matthew thompson was a green
3:12 am
beret from southern california. he was advising afghan forces when his unit was hit by an ied on tuesday. this was staff sergeant thompson's first deployment to afghanist afghanistan. he previously fought isis in iraq. he was awarded the purple heart. our prayers go to his family. >> indeed. thank you very much. everyone is focused on the race for the white house, right? there are several tight senate race that is could go either way. we're going to look at the map and show you them. as she calls her opponents, after they beat team usa in the olympics, hope solo gets the boot. she's firing back. better buckle up.

3:16 am
. let's talk politics. while most of america is focused on the presidential race, some are focusing for the battle of the control of the u.s. senate. a new york times election forecast says democrats have a 60% chance of retaking the senate in november. so do republicans have a reason to worry? here to break it down our national political reporter caitlin hugh i burns. good morning. >> good morning. >> what did you make of it? >> i think it's pretty accurate. you look at the map and it's not
3:17 am
favorable for republicans. this is different from 2014. look at the states where republican incumbent are trying to hold on to their seats. there are states like ohio, florida, pennsylvania. lots of states that president obama actually won twice and look favorable on the presidential side to win on the democratic side. >> so they're some of the most competitive races. new hampshire. the democrats up 64 to the republicans 36. in pennsylvania, the democrats 52 the republicans 48. in indiana, democrats 62, republicans 38 and nevada, democrats 38 and republicans 62 as well. >> nevada is an interesting state. it's held by harry reid who is retiring. if republicans can find a pickup, that can help them. they need four seats if democrats win, five if republicans win. it's going to be a really close race here. but what republicans are hoping is for ticket splitting to
3:18 am
happen. right now -- >> which doesn't happen very much these days. >> exactly. last election only 6% of districts were splitting their tickets. it's gone down and down over the course of the cycles. but what republicans are hoping is that they can create distance between trump. but they really want him to do better in these polls. he's trailing in that down ballot effects. >> for instance, in state of ohio where -- you think the ticket splitting is going on there. >> each in places where trump is trailing clinton by significant margins shall the republican incumbent is usually ahead of trump and ahead of the democratic challenger. that's what's working, a little bit of silver lining, working in their favor. they're hoping if donald trump can narrow the gap, they can propel themselves a little bit. >> kelly anne conway was talking
3:19 am
on one of the shows. she thought the polls would be skewed because when you're queried for instance by a computer, he does better. people aren't going to say i'm for trump each though i am. >> there's been interest in that analysis. what the -- that a lot of the republican senators have, the advantage they have, they have their own brand, a lot of them, in that states. portman is well connected in the state, has a big turnout operation, well-organized makes up for the deficit that donald trump has in his state and also on the ground. it's going to be on the incumbent to run their own races. >> see what happens. caitlin, always a pleasure. thank you very much. what do you think? e-mail us. remember when president obama said this about obama care? >> you don't like your doctor, you'll be -- if you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep them. if you like your health care
3:20 am
plan, you'll be able to keep it. >> that's what he said. but apparently that's not true anymore. we'll talk about that. there will be no homework this year. instead, a teacher wants students to spend time with their families. that teacher is live, next. perhaps it is time we acquire a larger dwelling. but the mortgage process has proven to be challenging. not with rocket mortgage by quicken loans. it is the easiest and most logical way to secure financing for your living quarters online. you can securely share your financial information with the push of a button. it appears now is a sensible time to relocate. i am so happy. no need to get emotional.

they were killed. and this is another story. is this mono owe he won from the state to fund his trip to join isis. >> he took $91,000 he won after a bridge collapse north dakota minneapolis and headed to syria. they believe that he's using that money to help fund the terror army. thank you, brian. a second grade teacher's new homework policy is going viral. brandy young gave a her to the parents saying homework will consist of work at that your student did not finish during the school day. there will be no formally assigned homework to suggest to the parents they need to eat dinner as a family, read together, play outside and get your children to bed early. joining us now is brandy young and the principal of that school, melinda reynolds. thank you boats for being with us. >> good morning. >> brandy, why did you decide to come up with this new policy?
3:25 am
>> i love my students and want to do what's best for them. banking on the homework that they were doing in the past, i wanted to know if there was a benefit to it. was it necessary and was it engaging them outside of my room? the answer was it wasn't. >> i'm sure the students are loving this policy. what was the reception from the parents? >> the parents were really excited. i've had nothing but positive feedback. >> why are they excited? >> they want to do those things. they want their kids to do more extracurricular activity. >> melinda, were you like oh, gosh, we don't want this viral or the controversy? what was your response? were you supportive? >> very supportive. it's actually not that new to us. we -- we have been empowered as administrators, as our teachers to take our kids and do what we
3:26 am
think is best for our group of kids. we are focusing with project-based learning and problem-based learning and having kids use their entire world and not just pencil paper tasks. we want our teachers thinking outside the box. we're not saying homework doesn't have a place. it absolutely does. as kids get older and subjects get more complicated, we know they've got to have the homework to be successful. but at this age level, taking what they've learned in the classroom and using it at home. use your fractions while cooking dinner as a family. using your literacy skills while you're talking about what happened during the day. those are the ways we can extend the classroom into the home and get the family values that they need to be productive citizens. >> i'm so glad you brought that up, melinda. i was talking to the producers and was talking about in high school the homework assignments
3:27 am
prepared me for the tests. ainsley, these are second graders, 7 and 8-year-olds. i'm glad you brought up that point. brandly, what about the other second grade teachers. the other kids get assigned a teacher, they find out it's you. what about the other second grade teachers. you're setting the bar pretty high. are they upset with you or are they going to follow suit? >> i have the best team of second grade teachers. we sat down to really discuss this. they're juchl pg on board. this is something we want to go for. we want to be innovators and make a difference. >> i think it's great. the kids need to be outside playing and cooking dinner with their moms and dads and sitting together at the dinner table as a family. i think it's awesome. >> thank you for loving kids so much and sacrificing so much. my mom was a school teacher and my sister is too. i know what you put into that. i really freesht. >> thank you. >> have a great year. >> thank you. >> bye bye.
3:28 am
still ahead, the epipen story. they save lives. now they're costing 400% more than the see -- owe well, i should say the 400% more and that ceo, she got a 600% raise. now she's blaming obamacare. we are going to talk about that. a big announcement from our maria molina. she's got news to share with all of us. there's something out there. that can be serious, even fatal to infants. it's whooping cough, and people can spread it without knowing it. understand the danger your new grandchild faces.

3:33 am
hit my hometown. after the storm, i told my parents i wanted to be a meteorologist on tv to forecast dangerous weather for the public. fox newschannel helped me reach that dream. over the past six years, i've had the opportunity to cover stories ranging from superstorm sandy to tornado outbreaks, nor'easters and even the devastating 2011 japan tsunami. i will be forever grateful for that opportunity. that said, as a nicaraguan refugee who became an american citizen, one of the other achievements that i hope to reach in this great country is reaching my ph.d. in the field that i love and having research to call my own. so next monday, i will be a full-time ph.d. student at central michigan university. but because of that, i have to leave fox. >> oh, boy. >> you're going to be dr. molina. >> yes. >> dr. molina with the weather. >> why michigan?
3:34 am
can't you stay here and do it? >> i've been working on work already with a professor at columbia university. >> research. >> and he has moved to central michigan university. i want to keep working with that project. >> when do you think your last day will be? >> i'm heading -- after the show, we will be -- me and my husband will be packing up the truck and driving west, heading to michigan. i will be on campus tomorrow and off for a week and i'll be back on labor day, though. >> is it true he's finding this out for the first time? >> you're a trailblazer. really, really great. i'm sure your family is so proud of you. we're going to miss you. >> so much. >> you've been here through thick and thin weatherwise. >> yes. >> do you see yourself going back on camera with your ph.d.? >> yes. i would love to return hopefully explore some ways to stay on camera while i'm out there in michigan. maybe with a local station.
3:35 am
hoping to stay in the fox family. i have had an incredible experience here. i love you guys. you're all incredibly talented, everyone on the air and even off the air. our whole crew. it's been great being with you all here. >> maria, we'll miss you so much. we were talking about this yesterday. you told me about this announcement. i'm really proud of you. this is all of our dream jobs. to give this up to get further education and i know that is just -- you are a trailblazer like you were saying. especially for the hispanic community. because this is very rare for hispanics to get in degree, right? >> it's been very tough to make this decision. it took many, many months of thinking about it and i tried doing some research. i contacted the national science foundation. i was like how many hispanic women actually get a ph.d. in earth science degree? it was a low percent. in 2014, i believe it was less than five. >> it's a great idea. of the people i've known in the
3:36 am
weather business and i've known a lot of them, you are so excited. you love the weather. this is going to be the next step toward -- >> the only thing to worry about is the weather in central michigan. it anybody is fully aware of weather in central michigan, it's you. >> it's going to be a couple of long winters. >> maria and her husband are storm chasers on the side. he does it full-time. you do it with him. you love this stuff. they eat, breathe and sleep the weather. >> there will be storms when we drive west today. i wouldn't be surprised if we -- >> we may have to put it on the news. >> good luck to you. >> stay in touch and come back when you get that degree. >> i know you can't make promises you can't keep, though. >> the hiring here, i would hire you back right now. >> i'll be knocking. let's send it over to heather with the headlines. >> i cannot believe it. maria and i started the same day, we went through orientation together here at fox news. we're going to have to talk.
3:37 am
congratulations. great news. we do have stories that we've been following. the epipen story we've been talking about. it's a matter of life and death for millions of people. now the ceo of the company that makes the pen has less than two weeks to explain why she hiked the price 400%. the drug started at $100. that was back in 2009 before rising to more than $600 today. shares of the stock dropped more than 11% this week, down from more than 5% yesterday alone. remember when president obama said this about obamacare. >> you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep your doctor. if you like your health care plan, you'll be be able to keep your health care plan. >> well a apparently that's not true anymore. this is what obamacare's website used to look like. now president obama's signature catch phrase is nowhere to be found. you can only see if your doctor is included in your planned network. hope solo refuse to go back

a rough couple of days for hillary clinton as damaging reports grow about the access -- the state department gave when she was running things. the foundation, the clinton foundation donors. new elected democrats have come to her defense. one of them is a senator from delaware. he's chris coons. he's here to explain. the former senator from new york and first lady, a senator himself. senator, welcome back. >> thanks, brian. good to be with you. >> i was struck by the fact that ed rendell, governor of pennsylvania, former leader of the democratic national convention says the firewall was infective and the report dealing -- the reports that we're looking at right now create a bad perception. do you agree with the a.p. report that it creates a bad perception? >> well, i think the a.p. report, brian, cherry picks a small subset of the meetings
3:46 am
that secretary clinton has and doesn't look at the full period of time that she was secretary to create a mistaken impression that somehow her work as secretary of state was inappropriately influenced. let's focus about what's really going on here. the clinton foundation was just that. is just that. a foundation that raises millions of dollars to help provide malaria medication or hiv-aids medication to millions of kids in the developing world. >> it has nothing to do with this topic. in fact, the a.p. has fired back and said we sued you twice to get the rolls to find out who was visiting the secretary of state when she was secretary of state. we finally got a list and we didn't list everybody that went in because we assume those people, this going to the a.p., were doing business. these are private people that went to visit. necessity fired back after brian fallon fired back at them. >> that's right. brian, if you dig into the details of what sorts of people we're talking about here, many of them are people who would have had a meeting with the
3:47 am
secretary of state anyway. melinda gates, daniel abraham. take those three. melinda gates, one of the leading philanthropists. if she asked for a meeting with the secretary of state in fighting polio or in advancing health around the world, she'd getting meeting. >> that is perfectly logical. i look at the bios with the micro loan guy and they seem like exceptional people. there's a lot of exceptional people in the world. it just so happens, the exceptional people that got in, almost 60% were substantial donors to the to foundation, which is the reason she signed an ethics agreement with president obama when she took the job. do you agree with the perception, that the boston globe pointed out is poor? >> brian, the reason we're talking about it this morning is because it's created a poor perception. there may be smoke here but
3:48 am
there is no fire. there isn't an underlying ethics violation because neither bill nor hillary clinton take a salary from the clinton foundation and the underlying work is admirable. they're taking proactive steps to be clear that as president, she and her husband would take different roles in the foundation. it's regrettable if they have to shut down their annual conferences. they do terrific work. >> it's a shame they didn't see this ahead of time as secretary of state which is as important as a wee diplomat as the president of the united states. we'll see. even hillary clinton realized that this is becoming an extremely hot issue. senator, always great to see you. thanks so much. >> thank you, brian. coming up straight ahead, trump says no amnesty and yes, there will be a wall, but does he still have more to clarify when it comes to his immigration plan. senator jeff sessions is coming up to expand on it this hour. out of all the heartbreak in louisiana, there are heroes like

rethink. reimagine. because right here, right now. it's time to take a closer look at botox® cosmetic, the only fda approved treatment for the temporary improvement of both moderate to severe frown lines and crow's feet. see what real results can really look like. so talk to your doctor about botox® cosmetic. and make it part of what you do for you. the effects of botox® cosmetic, may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be a sign of a life-threathening condition. do not take botox® cosmetic if you have a skin infection. side effects may include allergic reactions, injection site pain, eyelid drooping and swelling. tell your doctor about your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions and medications including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. look me... in the eyes... and see what's possible...

>> get my dog. >> he pulled her out of the submerged convertible. now there's a chance that good samaritans like the cajun navy group would have to be regulated and would have to apply and get permits. republican state senator jonathan perry said state leaders don't want the liability of going after to rescue someone and not being able to find the rescuers. >> dustin cluewatt is a member of the cajun navy and he joins us now. good morning. thanks for being with us. >> good morning, steve and ainsley. >> so what's your reaction to this, when you heard that he is working on legislation for training for your group and for other people like you before you go into these dangerous situations? >> it seems like we are fixing something that's not broke.
3:54 am
i mean, you had something that in baton rouge i believe -- i keep hearing the word liability. what's the liability if you don't let those people in to help and then you end up with a high body count? it seems like a little bit more of a liability to me. >> absolutely, dustin. keep in mind, you folks live in that area. you know t cajun navy is not an official navy. you're a group of -- a grass roots organization of people trying to help. so to suggest hey, somebody is drowning across the street i can't go help them because i don't have a permit, that seems nuts. >> well, i'll be honest with you, i believe they can make all the laws they want and they're not going to stop the people of south louisiana from helping somebody in need. >> what do you think if this does go through, what do you think the reaction will be or response will be? will hundreds go through the training so if this happens again they'll be prepared? >> not to take away from

anything that the government of wildlife fisheries or the fire department did, the national guard, they did everything they could. this thing was so widespread that without private citizens coming in, there's no way they could have possibly gotten everyone. i really don't see anything going through with it. if it does, i think it's great to get everybody together. you know, possibly have a bass pro shop or cabela's sponsor something, you go over everything, but having to show papers and certifications to help somebody -- >> yeah, that lady might have been a different outcome if you had to show papers before someone from your group jumped in and helped this lady out. >> correct. i mean, the cajun navy the only thing you have to do to enlist in it, is back up and launch on a boat or back up on any major interstate or highway and launch a boat. so, you know, if you started making laws and you start stop
3:56 am
people -- i don't see how you can regulate people helping people. >> absolutely. and it seems like we already have enough rules and enough regulations to pretty much cover everything. but, you know, if you see something, you have to do something. especially if you're across the street and somebody needs help as in the case of hundreds of times down in louisiana this week. dustin, thank you for joining us from new orleans. >> we did reach out to the senator, we didn't get a response. maybe he'll reach out to him and we can have him on as well. thank you. what a nice group. helping other people. coming up, talk about being out of this world. the planet that you may soon be able to call home. >> planet hollywood? >> another plan it. meanwhile, donald trump says no amnesty and yes there will be a wall, but does he still have more to clarify about his immigration stance? senator jeff sessions is helping

well, good morning to you and your family. it's the tail end of the week, you made it to thursday. august 25th. i'm ainsley earhardt. are you isis? if you you want to come into the u.s. it would be a good idea for the government to ask that question, right? >> right. >> too bad if it was left off the form. and could the tie be in donald trump's favor? the race is hotter than ever in several battleground states and we have brand-new polls that could blow the election wide open. and what did your kids do this summer? >> we the people of the united states in order to form a more perfect union --

4:02 am
austin, texas. trump was talking about his immigration plan. what'd you think about it? >> i'll tell you, donald trump made it front and center in this election. our candidate had to respond to respond it. the foremost contribution is we end the lawlessness. we can secure the border. we can improve this visa oversight problem and we can change this country by creating a system of immigration that serves the national interests and protects the people of america from attack and danger. >> one of the things he made very clear last night was no amnesty. there would be a wall. but then again, what do you do with the 11 or 12 or 13 million people who are here illegally right now? here's mr. trump. >> so now we have the person -- the family is great, everyone is great. so we throw them out or do we work with them and try to do something? to go a step further, they'll
4:03 am
pay back taxes. they have to pay taxes. there's no amnesty as such. there's no amnesty. >> right. >> but we work with them. >> i know the formal plan gets announced next week. but he's already showing a little bit of give when it comes to the deportation squad picking up 11 million and throwing them out as opposed to what he said the other night when you were together. do we really throw out law-abiding illegals that have been here for 10 or 20 years? >> the most important thing is to focus first and foremost on a lawful system that protects the interests of the american people first. if you enter the country unlawfully you're subject to being deported. we have large number of people that have been here a very long time. i think what he's saying is let's prove that we can submit a plan that have been offered over
4:04 am
the year, that they -- they have given amnesty first and promised enforcement in the future. he's say, let's fix this problem and then wrestle with the people who have been here a long time. >> you can get on board with that? >> oh, yeah, i can be supportive of that. you have to be careful because we have the rule of law. we have the amnesty of people in '86. >> essentially a wall of some sort to keep people out, but then they kept coming in. >> right. we went from 3 million illegal at that amnesty to 11 million now. you can't do that in the future. it's not easy. you've get to be careful about how you handle it. we have to work our way through it. it's essential for america. i think donald trump is moving us in the right direction. his -- if you want to secure the border and improve our immigration system, fix it, there's only one way to vote in november. hillary clinton is the extreme. instead of 10,000 refugees from syria, 65,000.
4:05 am
she wants to increase the immigration across the board. and her policies actually undermine enforcement. it cannot work, so this is open borders really versus a real establishment of law. >> what i'm hearing is folks who are already here can stay here. you're not going to separate -- send a mom home and keep the children here, as long as they pay back taxes and you guys are going to definitely enforce it if that happens and then build a wall to prevent -- >> look, i think he's mentioned it, he hasn't said what he'll it how to approach this serious problem of re-establishing the lawful system of immigration and then eventually we'll have to deal with people who have been here a long time in a decent and fair way. >> of course, the whole thing, if you come into the country you have to sign the guest book. that's essentially what it is. it's interesting though, because there's a survey if you want to apply for citizenship or a visa or something like that, and they'll ask whether or not --
4:06 am
the way it works right now they'll ask whether or not you're a world war ii nazi or a nazi sympathizer. but they won't ask you if you're a member of isis, al qaeda, any of those -- of about a dozen different. there's the application right there for naturalization of a dozen different terror groups. they say you have to go before congress and change the rules. it seems kind of silly. >> well, it does seem silly. i mean, a person does not have a right to demand entry into the united states or any nation. i mean, no nation has to take somebody that's dangerous to them. presents a threat to them or can't flourish and do well in their country. we need to examine people who apply. we have more applicants than we have slots for. and we should select the people who are most able to flourish and be happy in this democratic republic that we have. not somebody who wants to completely change the constitution and laws of our
4:07 am
country. >> yeah. >> usually al qaeda and isis don't say, yes, i'm al qaeda and isis and people at gitmo deny even though we have the intelligence -- >> you're saying they lie on the application? >> absolutely. find out if they're going to shoot people like in san bernardino or in a sham marriage or not. let's switch gears, let's talk about hillary clinton. her camp is asking the associated press for a retraction and amendment on the tweet that said over the course of two years that the -- over half the people that went to visit her have some link with the foundation. the a.p. said we're not going to do that. there's nothing inaccurate in our statement. >> the a.p. is not a right wing organization, they're to the left, so they identified the
4:08 am
nongovernmental official she met with, more than half of them had given money to the foundation. another report shows the foundation is not spending its money wisely. huge chunks of the money they spent are for salaries, travel, bonuses, those kind of things. so this foundation is terrible. it needs to be investigated. you cannot use the position of secretary of state to say you can't come to see me until you have given money to my private foundation. it's so fundamental to the rule of law, right and wrong. i think it raises legal questions that needs to be worked on. it just cannot be. >> senator, bill clinton who runs the foundation obviously, he defended it of course. listen to what he said and then we'll get your reaction. >> we try to do good things. there's nothing wrong with creating jobs and saving lives. i don't know what it is. the people who gave the money knew exactly what they were doing. i thought people were criticizing hillary for meeting with muhammad eunice, and i
4:09 am
think it's election season but i feel good about it. >> yeah. their charity isn't even graded by charity navigator because of suspicious activity or how ever they put it for the last couple of years. it looks like you pay money, you get access, stuff happens. >> then you have the problem in haiti. many of the people are upset about how little of the money they thought was coming to haiti raised for that purpose apparently didn't go there. you cannot use the office like this. this is a use of the secretary of state. some say access is not a quid pro quo, but people want access. the top american leaders. you cannot be buying access to the american leaders by giving to the leaders' private charity. >> i agree. >> which ends up supporting their entourage of people that
4:10 am
are close to them and that may turn out to be campaign people in the future. >> well, the government is supposed to represent all the people. that's a position where she's supposed to represent everyone, not just the millionaires. the ones who have the money to buy access to her. >> you're so right about that. i was a federal prosecutor for a long time. rudy giuliani was. he's really criticized that and studied the the legality of it. but the major political office, the secretary of state, cannot be perceived worldwide as you get -- if you want to see me, you have to give to my foundation. these people didn't care about the clinton foundation. these foreign people, billionaires many of them, were giving money for access. >> just wait till she's president. senator, it goes to this narrative where we never get the whole story. you turned over your e-mails, really? we found 14,900 you didn't turn out. you didn't have things on your private server, you had things
4:11 am
that were confidential, you had more than one device. so everything creates other questions and hillary clinton on some level feels as though she doesn't have to answer them because she's so far ahead. by the polls indicate are things are tightening up. what's the sense inside the trump camp when a florida poll has it now with trump up? >> well, it's a campaign. moving in the right direction and the numbers are moving. florida has moved to two-point trump lead. utah has moved to a double digit lead for trump. arizona five to seven point lead for trump. these are states -- so it's moving in the right direction nationally. what, upi poll, one point los angeles times has trump up two points. so this idea that this election is over and that he's not moving in the -- i have travelled with him. these crowds are fantastic. and there's going to be a turnout and an energy level that she is not coming close to
4:12 am
matching. i'm telling you, there's energy in the trump campaign across this country. >> it's horse race. senator, thank you for dropping by. >> thank you. >> nice to see you, senator. let's hand it over to heather childers who is inside and has some headlines for us. >> good morning. which begin with a brand-new bombshell for hillary clinton just waiting to go off. wikileaks founder julian assange promising to release a new round of documents that he says could be a major game changer. >> we have a lot of pages of material. thousands of pages of material. variety of different documents from different institutions that are associated with the election campaign. some quite unexpected angles, you know, that are quite interesting. some even interesting. >> he stopped short of giving other details but it could be quote significant to the 2016
4:13 am
election. wikileaks is the same organization that helped to bring down former dnc chairwoman debbie wasserman schultz last month. assange will be here on "fox & friends" tomorrow. rescue crews in italy are frantically digging for survivors of the earthquake this morning. nearly 250 people are dead. that number expected to go up. hundreds have been pulled from underneath the rubble including this morning this incredible moment with children rescued. truly amazing. a little boy and a baby girl found alive after 17 hours. and take a look at these before and after pictures of the town still dealing with aftershocks this morning. and that's a look at your headlines so far. back to you. steve, ainsley and brian. >> you can see all the buildings
4:14 am
around the tower are gone. what does the obama administration plan for $590 million with a deficit? listen. >> a lot of money that can be saved and that -- this will be a challenge that the next president, the next congress will have to do. and open up on time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. now i'm back. aleve pm for a better am.
4:18 am
well, the u.s. deficit continues to rise and in just about a month the government will end fiscal 2016 with a deficit of close to $600 billion. so what does the white house have to say about that? >> there's a lot of money that can be saved. this will be a challenge that the next president and the next congress will have to do. >> all right. here to react is stuart varney, host of "varney & co." stuart, first off, your reaction to the upgrade in what we are overspending for. >> this is a significant failure of the obama administration. he has boasted that the deficit is coming down, but if you look at the numbers that's a higher deficit in each and every one of his years than in any previous year for any previous president. look, the bottom line is, it's now going to be $590 billion worth of red ink. that's how much more we are spending as opposed to taking in.
4:19 am
that's a gigantic gap of over half a trillion dollars. you just heard from josh ear nest pushing it off to the next president, somebody else's problem, that's passing the buck. >> certainly is. when he took office it was at $10 trillion and now at $20 trillion and that the deficit will spike 33% next year alone. why? >> don't confuse the debt and the deficit. the debt is the accumulated deficit and the deficit is going up. so the debt will go up. that's what's happening here. and it's a huge problem for the next president. hillary clinton will raise spending and raise taxes. that's a guarantee of an even bigger deficit. >> meanwhile, our pentagon is starved and the next -- both presidential nominees said we'll get more money, but it's not
4:20 am
going to happen. and donald trump said he won't cut entitlements. >> here's my opinion. the only way out of this mess, the only way to alleviate the debt mess is to grow the economy. you're going to grow it vigorously. >> in tax reform. >> yeah. my opinion is, that donald trump will help to do that. he's going to lower tax rates on corporations and individuals and that stimulates the economy and gives you growth. plus when he does that, when he cuts taxes the immediate result is you've got an even bigger deficit in the first couple of years. that's the way it works. no way around this mess. the deficit is going up. the debt going up and that's a problem for the next administration that's the way it is, folks. >> the question is who's going to be at the head of the administration. >> a good question. >> good luck -- you have nigel farage coming up later. and both hillary clinton and trump are packing punches on the campaign trail. >> hillary clinton ran the state department like a failed leader in a third world country.

4:26 am
i think this is one of the better weeks. >> we should point out as well that you have a super pac for trump. >> i'm basically a trump supporter. >> so we'll examine three sound bites to see who got the best of it. first one, ladies and gentlemen, hillary clinton versus donald trump on hillary -- >> hillary clinton had an illegal private e-mail server deliberately, willfully and with total premeditation -- premeditation, could be the first way was right. premedication. i think i like that. >> i don't know why they're saying this. i think on the one hand it's part of the wacky strategy. just say all these crazy things and maybe you can get some people to believe you. on the other hand, it just absolutely makes no sense and i don't go around questioning donald trump's health. i mean, as far as i can tell, he's as healthy as a horse. >> okay, ed, who got the better
4:27 am
there? >> i think he got the better. again, it's an issue that may not be a legitimate issue, but if anything happens on the campaign trail, if she stumbles somewhere along the line or what have you, it reminds people that she did have a serious head injury a couple of years ago. we have to have some concerns. >> okay. round two. hillary versus trump on immigration. >> hillary clinton wants a totally open border. she wants catch and release. she wants obamacare and other things for illegal immigrants, in many cases more than our great veterans get. >> my understanding is that the comment you just referred to was the third different position he took yesterday on immigration. somebody has told him -- i guess the latest people that he's consulting how damaging his statements have been. he's trying to do kind of a
4:28 am
shuffle here. but i think we need to look at the entire context. we need to believe him when he bullies and threatens to throw out every immigrant in the country. >> all right. well, he's kind of softened that. who won that round? >> he clearly did. again he laid out the fact she wants to let everybody in. to a certain extent that's not a popular position with the country. he did stumble on the issue this week. he needs one declarative statement, this is my position on immigration, and stick with it. >> it sounds like that's coming up. and the big story this week is hillary versus trump on her foundation. >> hillary clinton ran the state department like a failed leader in a third world country. she sold favors.
4:29 am
she sold access and wait till you see what is revealed. all of those people -- it look like 50% of the people who saw her had to make contributions to the clinton foundation. >> the foundation is a charity. neither my husband or i have ever drawn a salary from it. you know more about the foundation than you know about anything concerns donald trump. i think it's quite remarkable his refusal to release his tax returns is even more concerning and his businesses are hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, the big banks including, the state bank of china. >> third round goes to -- >> this is trump. she may say her husband and she did not take a salary, but they basically have a net worth of over $200 million. half the people outside of the government continue to see her as big givers. gave her $150 million and it looks like pay for play.
4:30 am
>> as we look at the week, donald trump got the better of her. >> he did it on the sound bites. she's out raising a lot of money from hollywood and that certainly benefits her in the overall week. she was stronger on television buys and raised a lot of money. >> ed, always a pleasure. see you back here in the ring next week. coming up, they have no fear of the united states, this new video shows iran harassing american ships in the persian gulf again. but will we do anything about it? we'll talk about that. and hollywood as ed was just saying in the tank for hillary clinton, raising millions for the democratic candidate. comedian jeff foxworthy has something to say about it. don't miss it. he is up next. come on, get in the ring.

comedy, but it's the ultimate meritocracy. you have to outwork the other guy. you have to find a way. there's no template for it. sometimes you're -- you know, you're very good, but you don't get the break. that's america. yet when they actually seem to go to the left that says you can have all of this for free. >> absolutely. i do not understand that at all. and you know it's kind of interesting in watching last night, that is a little bit of a door that trump has kind of opened to say, hey, if you're living in fourth and fifth generation poverty, we don't know what the answer is, but what you're doing is not working. perhaps it's time to go -- there's got to be another way. >> he said what the hell do you have to lose? >> yeah. yeah. exactly. >> he's saying if you want more of the same, then vote for hillary clinton. if you want change, vote for me. this is what he said about all those folks in hollywood supporting hillary clinton. listen. >> the only people enthusiastic about her campaign are hollywood celebrities in many cases
4:36 am
celebrities that aren't very hot anymore. >> now, is he talking about appearance do you think or simply on the hot tommer the, if you're popular in hollywood you're making a lot of money? >> i don't know. i know probably the hot tometer, although justin timberlake is doing. >> so you and larry the cable guy are hot. you're hot guys. >> we're going to send you to the eye doctor, brian. i mean, i'm so -- i'm so lucky that i'm still getting to do this thing that i love to do. because most comedians don't have a very long window of popularity and, you know, 32 years i have been doing this. i still love doing it. >> you should do a show are you luckier than a fifth grader. >> yeah. i'm luckier than a fifth grader. >> whoever runs netflix, genius.

i understand you have -- >> by the way, thanks for your password. >> right. >> we don't share the password. it's illegal. we said that last week. >> let's show the audience what's coming up for you and we'll talk about it. >> sure. >> i have a rule in my neighborhood, if your dog does your business in somebody else's yard, you need to get a little plastic bag and you dispose of it. so there's all these attractive women in my neighborhood walking around with pooh-pooh purses. the dog is like, wait a minute, you're taking it back home? why did we have to walk three blocks? i could have poo expected in the living room and saved us some embarrassment. >> that's great. >> there's a big thing about the stupid things we do in this country. you know, we don't focus on the fact that we're $20 trillion in debt. we worry about things like that.
4:38 am
about whose yard your dog is going in. >> so larry -- i'm thinking of you and larry the cable guy. >> i have sleeves. i have sleeves. >> i know. and you shower. >> and i did shower. right. >> what about netflix, the whole netflix and amazon. this is brand-new, right? have you adapted to the new world? >> larry and i were talking, if i started in comedy today i don't know how to make a living. so much of the money i made early in the day, it was made out of album or cds. if you have one that sells 50,000 -- because nobody buys them anymore. you download them for free. now i walk on the stage, every third person has the phone. i'm on youtube before i'm back to the hotel. so it's a totally different world, but netflix has made it a cool way to do this. and we kind of decided, larry

4:48 am
>> hillary clinton is a bigot. she says people of color only as votes, not as human beings. worthy of a better future. she is only going to take care of herself, her husband, her consulta consultants, her donors. she doesn't care what her policies have done to your communities. >> hillary clinton has been fund-raising all week. three days in california including northern california last night. her campaign figured late august before the fall gets going was a perfect time to raise serious campaign cash. but with questions being raised about her leadership of the state department, and whether donors to the clinton foundation were given special access she called in to cnn last night and she was asked why she's not done a news conference with reporters in more than 260 days, almost nine months. >> well, anderson, i'm talking to you right now.

4:55 am
that day, i would -- i would have to repeat. >> well, nathan, do you remember -- what's your favorite passage? maybe 40 words, the favorite thing you memorized? >> it's i do solemnly swear or affirm that i'll faithfully the office of the president of the united states and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states. >> why is that your favorite? >> well, i want to be president, and i want to be president some day. >> hey, you know what? normally presidents, nathanat. when you read this stuff at only 10-year-olds, what do you get from it? why does it mean so much? >> well, i learn -- i love learning about america. i love listening to debates and all that. so i had a lot of interest in it.

4:59 am
5:00 am
good thursday morning to your family, tail end of the week. you almost made it. donald trump said this after immigration. >> they all paid back -- they have to pay taxes there's no amnesty as such. there's no am necessarity. >> all right. so how is that message resonating now this morning? we are live on the campaign trail. meanwhile, more damaging reports are piling up about the clinton foundation. but bill clinton says there's nothing to see here, folks. >> we're trying to do good things. there's something wrong with -- there's nothing wrong with
5:01 am
creating jobs and saving lives. >> he does and stop there. we'll tell you where does stop. i have a question to ask you, are you a member of isis? if you want to come into the u.s., the government should probably ask that question. too bad we left it off the form so we don't have to ask. let me just remind you, this is required reading. mornings are better with "friends." ♪ ♪ hudson river line >> i wouldn't be surprised if that's not on the immigration form, mornings are better with blank. and make people write it in. then they're allowed. >> yeah. what would the "a" would be friends. mornings are better with -- guess what, we have venus williams. she'll be here with us.
5:02 am
i'm so excited about this. >> we'll be playing tennis right over there. >> the u.s. open is around the corner. if you ever get a chance to go, here in new york city, it's such a great time. >> it's the official conclusion to the summer. also, shannon bream is joining us. you know her from the news. while she says she's not a good cook, she says she can make a really good chicken potpie. >> yeah. homemade. >> that's coming up this hour, "fox & friends." it's beautiful. 74 degrees. >> with a little bit of a breeze. donald trump holding a high stakes meeting today to win over the minority voters. >> this after promising no amnesty last night at that town hall with sean hannity. >> but is his position changing? peter doocy is following the latest live outside trump tower in new york city. hey, peter. >> peter, we have your dad on this avenue and you're a block away on fifth avenue. we're surrounded by doocy here's in this city. >> reporter: i know, it's a good time to visit and a good time to
5:03 am
be at trump tower, especially after what happened last night at this town hall where donald trump says basically that he still wants to build a border wall and the republican nominee is now saying that his position on people who came into this country illegally, but haven't been breaking a lot of laws since they got here could be softening. >> you have the person 20 years been an upstanding person. the family's good. everyone is great. do we throw them out or do we work with them and try -- go a step further, they'll pay back taxes. they have to pay taxes. there's no amnesty as such. that's no amnesty. but we work with them. >> reporter: when trump tried to measure support for the new language by asking the crowd at that event to react, the general response did sound positive. and he's not just trying to get hispanic voters on his side now.
5:04 am
he's continuing to court african-american voters now reportedly planning to tour a part of the detroit that he once likened to the war zone with dr. ben carson by his side. the next order of business for mr. trump here, a few blocks from where you are all sitting, is a sit down with some young field operatives getting ready to fan out to battleground states until november. the specific group is part of the republican leadership initiative, an rnc effort to get minorities and millennials more involved with the republican process when they may not have been otherwise. that's two hours from behind us and then trump is off to the rally in manchester, new hampshire, and then a fund-raiser in aspen, colorado. back to you. >> all right, peter doocy on fifth avenue, we're on 6th avenue. we have midtown covered. >> right. >> so in 2010, the a.p. said excuse me, as secretary of
5:05 am
state, can we have your calendars and schedules? because we want to review who came to see you and they said no. then in 2013, the a.p. asked can we have your calendars, the state department didn't respond. they had to respond due to the federal court ruling. when they looked at the logs they found that 60% of the people that went to see hillary clinton from her private life not work related had significant donors to the clinton foundation. >> and they tweeted about it. the clintons were not happy about it. this is what the a.p. tweeted based on the information they found. more than half those who met clinton as cabinet secondary gave money to -- secretary gave money to the if clinton foundation which is factual. >> the a.p. stands by the story even though the clinton foundation and you're hearing the brian fallon sound bite saying they were cherry picking the information. they did not include the people
5:06 am
who were representing foreign governments because she was going to meet with them the other way and the other way they're cherry picking they don't have all the records. they have asked repeatedly for all the records but the clintons have stone walled. >> these are the nongovernmental people she met with. 185, more than half they found out were giving money to the clinton foundation. >> $150 million. >> so a lot of people are saying this looks like if you gave me money, then you can buy access to the government. >> yeah. but on top of that, guys, they released 14,900 e-mails she did not submit. many show an interaction, a commingling between the foundation donors and the state department. >> wait a minute, i thought she released all her e-mails? you're saying she didn't release 15,000? >> bill clinton said you guys are all missing the point. >> yeah. >> we're trying to do good things. there's something wrong with creating jobs and saving lives, i don't know what it is.
5:07 am
and the people who gave the money knew exactly what they were doing. i thought people were criticizing hillary for meeting for mohammed eunice and i think it's election season, but i feel good about it. >> well, he can put a happy face on it and said, look, she's trying to help people. nonetheless, donald trump wants a special prosecutor and that's getting people's attention. remember, how did he get into trouble? he got into trouble with perjury, with lying and now it looks like there's -- they're spinning another yarn. >> when we got on set at 6:00 a.m., we asked you to e-mail us and you've tweeted us. notice how he says trying. like hillary tries to tell the truth. >> by the way, ken starr left baylor, so maybe he's available. the a.p. does not need to notify their tweet -- modify their tweet regarding the clintons.
5:08 am
it points to the truth that one drop of poison can ruin a cup of wine. >> what exactly does the clinton foundation do? i hear the name all the time, but never the so-called good deeds. we can tell you it was placed on a watch list by charity navigator a couple of years ago because a -- a watch list for suspicious activities and charities. the sunlight foundation said the clinton foundation operates like a slush fund for the clintons. i hope that helps. >> wow. >> a lot of big topics on the campaign trail is immigration. well, the current immigration, if you come into this country you have to take a test and on the test people are wondering why it doesn't say are you a part of isis? it does say are you a member of a terrorist organization, you have to check no in order to get into the country. but some people want it to go further. they want more questions about that.
5:09 am
so they make sure we're vetting the right people. >> sure. when we put the questionnaire up, could we put up the questionnaire one more time to the director? kind of outdated questions. have you ever been a member of the communist party? any totalitarian party? a terrorist organization is good, but why not specify isis or anything like that? question 13, are you a nazi sympathizer? that seems a little dated too. >> yeah. congress needs to get their act together. senator sessions said this is a bit outrageous. >> -- you have to take somebody that's dangerous to them, presents a threat to them. or can't flourish and do well in their country. we need to examine people who apply. we have more applicants than we have slots for. and we should select the people who are most favorable to flourish and be happy in this democratic republic that we have not somebody who wants to completely change the constitution and laws of our country. >> yeah. >> of course you're also
5:10 am
counting on the terrorists telling the truth while filling out the application. >> right. right. he talked about immigration yesterday. a major plan rolling out next week from the trump organization. it shows more of a nuanced position, but the wall is going to be big and it's going to be about 35 feet high and we believe that trump knows how to build things. >> good point. let's go inside to heather with the headlines. good morning to you and to everyone at home. crews are cleaning up a toxic chemical spill right now. it was the same one involved in the erin brockovich scandal. it spilled at a metal plating company in connecticut. firefighters are getting people out of their homes. crews taking every precaution, shutting down drinking wells. breaking right now, the ceo of the company that makes the life saving epipen is going to
5:11 am
make it cheaper. heather bresh cutting out of pocket costs in half and planning to cover up to $300 and ramping up assistance for underinsured people. she came under fire ever since taking the company over back in 2007. it started at $100 before spiking to more than $600. rescue crews in italy frantically digging for survivors of the earthquake this morning. we know that 250 people are dead, hundreds have been pulled from underneath the rubble including this incredible moment when two children were rescued. it's amazing. the little boy and baby girl, they were found alive after 17 hours. and take a look at these before and after pictures of the
5:12 am
town that really tells a story. they're still dealing with aftershocks this morning. check out this video, the crew and crowd can do nothing but watch as the world's largest aircraft crash lands in england. it took a nosedive, damaging the front end. no one was injured. now, the aircraft was originally designed by our military to carry cargo and for communications but the pentagon bailed on the project and a private company took it over last year. those are a look at your headlines. back to you, brian, ainsley, steve. >> there goes the blimp. >> yeah. >> thanks, heather. coming up on a thursday he got $90,000 in a settlement with the state of minnesota so what did he do with the money? he reportedly went to syria to join isis. we have details coming up. have you heard about the trumpocrat? they could help win the white house. you're going to meet them next. >> one? >> yeah.

5:17 am
so what fueled this very drastic movement, how many are there? let's ask a democratic strategist and executive director of the trumpocrats pac. he joins us right now. christian, what turned you trumpocrat and what happened? >> thank you. i apologize have you on this morning, the american uprising and the trumpocrats. while most media outlets are talk attack 50 or so -- are talking about the 50 or so washington insider republicans, retired people who are supporting hillary, there are hundreds of thousands of democrat voters in key battle ground states that are strong supporters of donald trump. we're giving them a place to work out of, a place to organize and going to do a lot of grass roots efforts unlike other super pacs. >> as you know on the republican right, there were about 16 or 17 candidates. was donald trump the only one you would have supported? were you ready to leave the
5:18 am
democratic party anyway and were going to jump republican or is it something about trump? >> well, i personally voted for bernie sanders in the primary, and had already decided i was not going to support hillary. i came from a very small town where we had 25 manufacturing plants 20 years ago and now there's one. and he's speaking to that. he's got a an. he's talked about -- he's the only one talking about rebuilding infrastructure in this country. hillary is more of a global candidate. the clinton global initiative. she's more of a global candidate and donald trump wants to do something here at home first. >> so that's true. i guess i'm reading your notes, one of the main things that brought you trump's way, he spoke openly against the free trade agreement. he thinks they're bad for america and so do you. are you a party of one? are you -- are you somebody
5:19 am
involved with the trumpocrats that are embarrassed to say you're voting for trump, but will tell everybody how you feel in the voting booth? >> people need to know what -- how everybody feels. we're going to go through pennsylvania, ohio, virginia, north carolina, parts of florida. very targeted areas and we're going to shout from the mountaintop about what we need to do to improve things in this country. there are a lot of people up and down these, you know, gutted out communities that really want to make a change and we're going to give them a place to do that. >> wow. christian rickers who points out that even if hillary clinton is against the tpp, she's already spoken for it and called it the gold standard 40 separate times. thank you so much. see how the movement goes. thanks for coming forward today. >> i appreciate it. all right. coming up straight ahead -- remember when president obama said this? >> if you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep your doctor. if you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep
5:20 am

they backed off an sirens were sent off. and gunmen storming the american university in kabul that left 12 people dead. they set off bombs and sent hundreds of students running four their lives. the attackers believed to be member of the taliban and were killed? and he took money from the state of minnesota to fund a trip to go and join isis. according to prosecutors that guy right there, mohammed roebl took money from the bridge collapse and then he used it to help fund the terror army. >> great. switching gears, your real estate questions are starting to pour in. >> here to tackle viewer e-mails the host of "the property man," bob massi. great to see you. >> good morning. good morning. >> let's start with adrianna. she says the hoa has split into
5:25 am
two phases and the issue is complicated. bottom line is we have -- we have no say in anything. it appears family members are on the board, no meetings. so what can we do? how do you answer? >> yeah, you know, i actually called her. when i get certain e-mails you can feel them reaching out. so i called her and talked to her. long story short, when you -- there's a development, ainsley, until that development is completed the developer is what we call the declarant. they literally -- they own -- they do everything with the hoa. when it's all finished there's a board elected. it was split into two phases. i said, look, you need to get a competent lawyer to look at what's going on there, putting family members on the board, the optics do not look good. she's making payments for two phases, not getting what they're supposed to be getting and it
5:26 am
gets complicated to what powers they have versus what the homeowners have. i directed her to get a competent lawyer, to really look at this complicated issue that's much too difficult to handle over an e-mail. but when the developers are developing the property they are in fact the homeowner's association. that's important for viewers to know. >> meanwhile, bob, i read and i love your book, my brother is a victim of identity theft. what can people do to prevent identity theft? >> you know, guys, this is going to a level anymore -- i can't tell you how many people i see and how many people e-mail about identity theft. first of all, it's always harder for the victim to fix it than those who stole. i said this before, check your credit reports every six months to see what happens. if there's anything on there that shouldn't be there on there. if you travel let your credit card companies know that you're
5:27 am
traveling. i change any security codes every time i travel out of state with my credit card so that i know and i have no problem with a retailer or somebody having to call in to check and make sure i am who i am. the most important thing is, if in fact you are a victim, notify immediately your bank, your credit card companies, all people that you have extended credit in order to protect your position. reverse the identity theft, steve is not easy. it's very diligent. you don't have to run and get a lawyer, but many times that's how it ends up. >> henry lives in massachusetts -- or i guess he lives in massachusetts. or maybe he has a house in florida as well. because he says we live on a beach in the diamond district which is in ft. meyers, florida. the house is 115 years old. we have fixed it up to modernize it, and it doesn't seem to sell in any direction. maybe there's a diamond district in massachusetts. >> real quick, yeah, it's in massachusetts. i'm sorry, i should have been clearer on paraphrasing that
5:28 am
e-mail. bottom line is when you have a historic home, you better get the right realtor on how to move the home. never touch the outside of it, that's the historic part of it. this is a special buyer for a special home. you have to study the area and make sure you get the right realtor to market this type of asset. >> all right. not to be confused with the diamond district on that street. >> you can see it from here. >> "the property man" will be back on saturdays and sundays after the presidential elections. >> bob, what's the name of your book? >> oh, i wrote a book, actually it's seven years, harper collins published it called "people get screwed all the time." >> a real estate book. thank you. coming up on a thursday from 48th and 6th avenue, he spent 25 years in prison for a crime he did not commit but he's not bitter.
5:29 am
>> i worship a merciful god. if he forgives somebody who am i not to? and she got back from rio, venus williams is serving up her secret to winning. there she is with brian. >> welcome back. hey. now she writes mostly in emoji. 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.

5:34 am
his lawyers argue that the investigators at the time faked the evidence and tried to prove his guilt even though dna testing showed another man had committed the crime. this week he was retried and a jury cleared his name in less than an hour. >> it's been unbelievable 24 hours for me. i'm not used to what's going on. i'm just living in the moment, you know? i'm on cloud nine -- i worship a merciful god. if he forgives everybody who am i not to? >> wright is enjoying freedom at home with his family. remember when president obama said this about obamacare? >> if you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep your doctor. if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan. >> well, apparently not so much anymore. now president obama's signature catch phrase is nowhere to be
5:35 am
found on the obamacare website. it used to ask can i keep my own doctor and now it gives the option to see if your doctor is in your planet in woned network. if you're planning a beach vacation, think twice before getting into the water. >> everybody out. get out. >> researchers discovering the first known great white shark birthing site in the northest right off the eastern coast of long island. the group made the ground breaking discovery by using shark tracking devices. sharks are most vulnerable where they give birth. that's a look at your headlines. now it's time to toss it back out to maria molina where she's going to talk about multiple tornados. >> correct. thank you so much. we could be seeing more severe weather across the same states
5:36 am
as yesterday. we had more than 30 reported tornadoes across indiana and extending into ohio. as you look at that map, same areas are looking at that risk again today. we are anticipating storms from texas up into missouri where damaging hail and tornadoes could be possible. a big weather story is a disturbance across the atlantic that could become a storm or a depression over the weekend and could bring some gusty winds and heavy rain across the southeast. anyone that lives out there needs to stay very alert to this storm system. now let's head over to steve, ainsley and brian. >> thank you very much. she's a four-time olympic gold medalist and she just completed and competed in rio. >> she's serving up tips to show focused through the summer and getting set for the u.s. open of course. >> oh, you used the word serving and set. did you like that?

5:38 am
stomach. >> i'm in florida, i'm up at 6:45 and it's so hot. tell your daughter 6:45. >> a couple of the doocys are lack those tolerant including me, so i have been drinking the almond milk for a while. i think it's great. >> yeah. i love it. i love it. and you can put it in everything. i substitute almond milk i might use the silk almond milk for cookies. for cake. >> it works fine. >> for everything. everything. you can use it for everything. >> we had some before this segment. >> when you buy a smoothie, some places put yogurt in it or ice cream as the base. but if you use almond milk as the base, it's not as many calories and it tastes just as good. >> absolutely. and it's very good for you. you can feel good about what you're doing for your body. >> doing something right. >> seven grand slams, you want your eighth.
5:39 am
you have other interests including fashion and design and speaking of plants you have an opportunity for us to go silk? >> yes. opportunity to go silk. i should have brought you smoothies today, what was i thinking? i should have brought you my favorite. >> come by tomorrow and bring some. >> and we'll play tennis. >> it's so great you'd stop by because in addition to teaming up with silk, you have the fashion, you've got the design stuff. >> you're wearing your design. >> yes, i'm wearing it. you asked me earlier how do you do it? we're based in palm beach garden, florida. we do our manufacturing right in l.a. the whole team is there. it's a woman owned business. so it's wonderful to transition from tennis to a life outside of tennis. even though i'm still focused on the game. >> i like you said that tennis is a number. >> you said you're thinking of tokyo, so maybe another olympics, right? >> i felt like that, you know? i came so close to a gold, like
5:40 am
points away. it made me start to think about tokyo. no pressure, but we'll see. >> four more years. >> started to play tennis at 4 years old. i'm proud of you. that's awesome. thanks for stopping by. we're big fans. >> thank you. all right. straight ahead, hillary clinton calling donald trump a racist, but our next guest spent six years working for the trump family and she said minorities need to give him a chance. and she's a great cook, there is our shannon bream serving up chicken potpie. >> she said she's a great cook. we'll be the judge. venus, thank you. hey, you're clarence! yes, sir. you know, at the model year end clarence event, you can get a great deal on this 2016 passat. steve. yeah?
5:41 am
clarence is on a roll. yeah. i wish they'd name an event after me. same here. but the model year end becky event? that's no good... stevent! that's just vandalism. whatever you want to call it, don't miss the volkswagen model year end event. hurry in for a $1,000 volkswagen reward card and a five hundred dollar labor day bonus when you buy or lease a new 2016 passat. gives you a reason to slow down and pull up a seat to the table. that's why she takes the time to season her turkey to perfection, and make stuffing from scratch. so that you can spend time on what really matters. marie callender's. it's time to savor.
5:43 am
5:44 am
here are some headlines for you. 59-year-old woman plummeting 40 40 feet from a zip line down to her death. she tumbled from the attraction in delaware. investigators are trying to figure out what went wrong. ethan couch got probation after killing four people in the drunk driving accident. his lawyer said he was too spoiled to know better. his woman was put on house arrest after running off to mexico with him when he violated his probation. his mom was released from house arrest, she went back to work with an ankle bracelet and look at this, she's a bartender. and trump trying to win over the minority voters as he tries to court african-american support away from hillary clinton. >> hillary clinton is a bigot. she sees people of color only as votes not as human beings worthy of a better future.
5:45 am
you have her policies, democrats, running some of the inner cities for 50, 70, 80, even over 100 years. we're going to fix it. we're going to fix it. >> our next guest has spent the past six years of her life working for donald trump and for the family and she's telling her fellow african-americans to give trump a chance. >> lynne patton is finally here. senior assistant to ivanka, eric and don jr. everywhere. we're interested in talking to you. graette -- great to finally meet you. tell us about the trump family you know. >> it's the best job i have ever had in my life. they're the most down to earth grounded family. it's an honor to go to work with him every day particularly eric trump who you'll see later. i help to run his charity, for st. jude, which has raised and donated over $30 million for children with cancer. >> wow. >> it's a great thing. you know, at an age when most people his -- his peers were
5:46 am
concerned about social media, he was concerned about social responsibility. he gets that from his dad. you know, he runs this charity based on the principles his father taught him, trust, honesty, integrity. he expects charities to be run with that same moral code. >> traditionally, african-americans vote democrat. why do you recommend they vote for donald trump? >> well, i think what my boss is saying that -- is that the democratic party has made a lot of promises to the black and latino communities that have never materialized. the numbers don't lie. since barack obama took office, the amount of african-americans living in poverty has risen by 1.4 millions. and this country is hurting. you know, minorities are hurting. veterans are hurting. our police officers are hurting. and you know you tune into the dnc as they're speaking in superlatives that everything is fine, everything is perfect and quite frankly, i have never seen
5:47 am
a party more disconnected from what the american people want. >> you have been a part of the family, working for the family for a number of years. when you hear people who oppose mr. trump say he's a racist, he's a bigot, what do you think about that and what would you like to tell the person who is saying it? >> well, what i know is the donald trump i know. he applies the same tenets in life as in the boardroom. in business it's what you bring to the table. not about your ethnicity or your gender or what religion you practice. so that's how he's raised his family. that's how he's raised his kids. that's how he conducts his life. >> there are other african-americans in the organization that feel as though they're part of the family as well? >> of course. mr. trump is very outgoing. he's very generous. they're a very loyal family. when you're loyal to them they're loyal back. >> does he empower women? his campaign is being run by a
5:48 am
woman. i'm happy with that. >> i think his daughter drives home that message every day. she's a mom, she runs a company with her brothers. no better example than what he sets with his family. >> well, it's been a real pleasure. >> if i had known venus was going to be here i would have work on my back hand. >> well, you got a good picture out of it. well, still ahead, we're used to seeing her reports from the sets of the supreme court, but did you know she makes a mean chicken potpie? we are cooking with shamnnon bream after the break. >> but before that let's check in with martha maccallum. >> good to see you. so trump turns table on hillary clinton calling her a bigot for not allowing inner city kids to get school choice.
