O'REILLY: Thanks for staying with us. I'm Bill O'Reilly in the
"Impact" segment tonight. Let's bring in Governor Mike Pence who is
running with Donald Trump on the Republican ticket as everybody
knows. He joins us from Pennsylvania.
So, Governor, you guys caught a break with this Hillary Clinton
email stuff, do you think it's enough to hand you the election a
week from tonight?
PENCE: Well, you know, long before that announcement last Friday,
Bill, I mean, frankly polls around the country were showing
tremendous momentum in this campaign. And frankly I saw it as I was
traveling across the country campaigning for Donald Trump and with
Donald Trump. The crowds, the enthusiasm, this is really a movement
of the American people to make America great again.
O'REILLY: What about the so-called October surprise. I mean nobody
expected FBI Director Comey to come out Friday and say we have to
reopen this because Huma Abedin's computer may contain national
security stuff that shouldn't be on there. So, I mean, that's what
I'm trying to get into perspective here whether that's enough to put
you guys over the top. In your opinion, is it?
PENCE: Well, I think that's in the hands of the American people. But
the simple fact is that millions of Americans, Bill, were very
troubled this summer when the FBI concluded that Hillary Clinton had
been, in their words, extremely careless with classified information
on a private server when she was secretary of state and, yet, they
didn't recommend to continue the investigation or charges. We think
it was ripe and we commend the director of the FBI for keeping his
word to the Congress and the American people.
We found new pertinent information. They are initiating
investigation. But what we already knew about Hillary Clinton's
years as secretary of state where she had a private foundation that
took foreign contributions and has come out in this avalanche of
emails, I truly do believe convinces millions of Americans that
Hillary Clinton should never be elected president of the United
States. At the end of the day, I want to tell you there was
tremendous momentum in this campaign --
O'REILLY: All right.
PENCE: -- even before this latest announcement and we are seeing it
across Pennsylvania and everywhere we go.
O'REILLY: Were you down by 11 in Pennsylvania according to the
Franklin Marshall poll but we will get to that in a moment. I want
to stay on Hillary Clinton here. Do you think that she is a corrupt
person?
PENCE: Well, I don't think there is any question that over the last
30 years, the Clintons' careers have been characterized.
O'REILLY: No, but her? Hillary Clinton, is she corrupt?
PENCE: Well, I think there's been outright corruption represented
throughout their careers, Bill. Good heavens! You have Bob Woodward
famously of --
O'REILLY: You're saying, yes. You're saying yes, you think she's a
corrupt person.
PENCE: Well, Bob Woodward, Woodward and Bernstein said on this
network about a week ago that having a private foundation taking
foreign contributions from foreign governments while she was
secretary of state, he said that's not unseemly, he said, quote,
"it's corrupt."
O'REILLY: But that's Bob Woodward saying it's corrupt. I want to
know what Mike Pence says. Is Hillary Clinton corrupt?
PENCE: I think her actions as secretary of state, the pay-to-play
politics where you saw Hillary Clinton and aides to Hillary Clinton
actually directing contracts for the reconstruction of Haiti to
friends of the Clintons who were contributors to their campaigns and
their private foundation, that's just -- that's the kind of pay-to-
play corruption the American people are tired of in Washington, D.C.
And going to come to the end the day Donald Trump becomes president.
O'REILLY: I think Americans want to know if you think she is corrupt
and you have said now that you do. Is Loretta Lynch the Attorney
General of the United States corrupt? She does not want to
investigate the Clinton Foundation. You just pointed to it. She does
not want, according to reportage by the "Wall Street Journal" to
investigate at all. Is Loretta Lynch corrupt?
PENCE: Well, I don't think we really know. I know that the meeting
between former President Clinton and the Attorney General on the
tarmac on a private aircraft that was -- that would have been a
clandestine meeting but for some industrious local television
reporter who saw there it happened this summer was deeply troubling
to millions of Americans.
O'REILLY: Have you haven't decided whether you think she is corrupt
or not?
PENCE: No. I don't think we have the facts. At the end of the day.
O'REILLY: It's not enough that she doesn't want to investigate the
Clinton Foundation? It's not enough?
PENCE: Well, Bill, look, I don't want to presume on what her
opinions are on that or not.
O'REILLY: All right.
PENCE: I have seen press reports and suggestions. But at the end of
the day, Hillary Clinton is on the ballot, Donald Trump is on the
ballot. The American people and Donald Trump have a choice in a
candidate who's got an ethics reform proposal. We're going to move
in the first 100 days that's going to drain the swamp. We're going
to have government as good as our people. We're going to pass
fundamental ethics reform in our nation's capital and change the
direction of Washington, D.C.
O'REILLY: Okay. You are down by 11 as I mentioned in Franklin
Marshall poll in Pennsylvania. You need Pennsylvania or Wisconsin
one of those two, to pick off to win the electoral vote. We just
analyzed it earlier on The Factor. Eleven, that's a big number,
being down in Pennsylvania right now.
PENCE: Well, I will tell you what, you know, the only poll that
matters is the one that's going to be finished on Election Day. And
people are going to go to vote here in Pennsylvania on November the
8th. And I just have to tell you, campaigning with Donald Trump here
in the Keystone State, he is in Wisconsin tonight, Bill, really and
truly, the enthusiasm that we see from not just Republicans but
Independents and many Democrats around the country is like nothing I
have seen in my lifetime since the days of Ronald Reagan. The
American people know we can be stronger, we can be more prosperous
but we have got to have new leadership and that happens to be Donald
Trump when he becomes president.
O'REILLY: There is no question. There is no question the enthusiasm
level from the folks attending the rallies is much higher on your
ticket than it is on the Democratic ticket. We appreciate your time,
Governor, we know you are running around like crazy. It's very nice
of you. I hope we can talk again before the vote. Thanks, again.
PENCE: Yes. Thank you, Bill.
