12:00 pm
for peace on behalf of terrence floyd. terrence floyd is the brother of george floyd. terrence floyd is overwhelmed at this moment. he wanted to be here today, but he told me to deliver this message on his behalf as his spokesperson. he wanted to call for peace. he wanted to call for justice. he wanted to make sure that you can't get one without the other. we're hearing that justice is being made, and we're moving in a direction of justice. that's a good thing. but we must continue to keep the conversation going right here in new york city. that's what we're doing, the beginning of conversations. making sure that the conversations comes with peace,
12:01 pm
justice, policy and then legislation. so we thank the nypd for having this conversation and open dialogue, the memorial for george floyd will be tomorrow. terrence floyd will be present and other family members will be present. we're calling for those individuals that want to loot and those that don't want to disrespect the name of george floyd, don't do it in the name of george floyd. you're disrespecting his legacy. if you want to chant peacefully, you can do so. don't do it in the name of
12:02 pm
george floyd. we have issue in new york city, which is a good thing in terms of having a relationship and bridging the gap in this hostile environment. i'm thankful now we can have a voice and turn something negative to a conversation that can lead to positivity. the bible says in the book of isaiah 1 and 17, to be able to teach the oppressors, to be a voice for the voiceless and to be able to seek justice for the windows. that's what we're going to continue to do as we go forward and the fight for justice. and to be able to uphold the legacy of george floyd. at this time you'll hear from the commissioner of the new york
12:03 pm
city police department. dermot shea. >> i'll be brief in my comments. i came here today with my friend and with my co-worker, first deputy commissioner ben tucker. he's going to make a statement on behalf of the entire police department, the nation's largest police department, that we stand with the floyd family. we condemn what took place in minneapolis. and i think it's much larger than law enforcement condemning it. any human being with a conscious that looks at that video feels the same way. so my heart goes out to the entire floyd family. i think this entire difficult period. it's not the first. hopefully it's the last. should be a wake-up call for this entire country. the justice.
12:04 pm
to look in the mirror, to work together about what we can do together. i think there's no better place to have this conversation. i honestly don't remember who reached out to who. it's been a long week. i spoke to reverend mccall earlier this week. we have a common friend. we sat down and begun a discussion a dialogue, which i hope is one of many, which gets us to a place where we want to go. here we stand in our holy building. i don't think there's a better place. when i walked in here, i said hello to some officers that are outside. one of them who i did not know. it's her last day. 20 years serving new york city. i'll embarrass her. she's a person of faith who is an ordained minister. it's one of the many beautiful stories of this city, of this
12:05 pm
police department. we need more of them. we need more of them together. that is how i truly believe we will get to where we want to be. >> bill: dermot shea is the police commissioner here in the city along with terrence floyd. a lot of developments the past 60 minutes. want to bring in ted williams. he's been with us since the beginning of our coverage. good afternoon. i want to begin ben crumb, the spokesperson for george floyd's family. good afternoon to you. i want to confirm a few things to begin. can you confirm the charge against derek chauvin has been upgraded to second degree murder? >> the charges are going to be upgrades as we understand it, as we have been informed by his family, the law enforcement community to his family that the charges would be upgraded against officer chauvin and also
12:06 pm
the other officers will be arrested. that's what the family has been notified of. >> bill: okay. all three other officers you're saying will be arrested. what charges will they face? do you have that information at this hour? >> yes. likely to be facing charges of aiding an abetting or some type of felony murder charge for their actions that we all saw in that video where george floyd had a knee in his neck for nine minutes almost and then had two knees in his back for almost nine minutes that were compressing his lungs that would not let them contract to help air come in and out. so the pathologist who the family retained to do the autopsy, you know dr. michael bowden and dr. wilson.
12:07 pm
they concluded the medical cause of death was mechanical asphyxia because of loss of air and breath. then they said the cause legally was homicide based on those officers putting their knee to his neck and to his ba. >> bill: i understand that is the case here but the three officers have not been arrested. i want to be clear, correct? you believe they will be arrested? >> i can't speak to that. i have been notified by the law enforcement authorities that the officers will be arrested. they will be charged. >> you mentioned the autopsies. this were two, right? both concluded homicide. yours concluded that he was asphyxiated. the county's report talks about fentanyl in his system and he had heart disease. does that conclusion complicate
12:08 pm
your case in front of a jury? >> we certainly don't think so. i believe the prosecuting agencies are very relieved to have our family autopsy that would have not -- the medical examiner of the county that worked with these police officers on a daily basis. so we believe this is an attempt to assassinate his character saying he had fentanyl in his system. he was breathing and walking and talking fine. the officers put their knee in his neck and on his back as he was face down in handcuffs. >> bill: sir, there's several reports that officer chauvin had several complaints against him. have you seen his entire police record? >> we have only begun discovery. what we understand, he had 18 allegations of excessive force
12:09 pm
against him and we understand the majority of them were against minorities. >> bill: so there is in his record you're saying race was involved in how many events? >> allegedly 18 allegations that were made against him. we understand the largest majority of those allegations were made by minorities. further underscores the minnesota governor bringing human rights charges against the minneapolis police department because we believe there was a pattern and practice that existed that this was foreseeable, what happened to george floyd. because -- >> bill: yeah, that brings us to a sensitive -- i think you used the word "torture" yesterday. you believe that george floyd was tortured because he was african american or do you believe this is just the way this cop did business with too
12:10 pm
many suspects in that city? >> i believe race played a major factor in this. because we see too often whether it's eric gardner or whether it's any number of african american men unarmed not posing any threats whatsoever, that they are killed by excessive use of force by police for whoever reason treats them differently than they treat white suspects. there cannot be two justice systems in america. one for black america and one for white america. there has to be equal justice for the united states of america. you can look at the data and you can see police excessive force and killings against black people and how the cops are often not held accountable.
12:11 pm
>> bill: two more questions, if i may, sir. you want first degree murder. based on the reporting coming in thus far and we'll see what the a.g. keith ellison does in st. paul, minnesota in the next hour or even sooner, it looks like you will not get that first degree charge. how does that change your case? >> well, the family is grateful that all the officers will be arrested. they're greatful that the charges are being upgraded. we believe it should be first degree murder based on the fact of the audio from the police body comes that tell us what their mental thoughts were during this horrific ordeal. there's a point where one officer said that i'm not getting a pulse. maybe we should turn him over on his side. then officer chauvin said no. we will keep him in this position. so quite literally to me that
12:12 pm
says intend. he keep his knee on his neck -- >> bill: the first part of that answer would suggest that you would be satisfied with second degree murder. am i hearing you correctly on that? >> well, the family wants first degree murder but they want to the fullest extent of the laws charged against him based on the evidence. we understand from the attorney general that they will continue the investigation and if there's evidence to charge first degree, they will charge first degree. the crux of the matter is this. he keep his knee on his neck for three minutes after he did not have a pulse and essentially the ambulance was the hearse for george floyd when they picked him up. >> bill: george floyd was born near fayetteville, north carolina. raised in houston, texas. died in minneapolis, minnesota. tomorrow begins the first of three different stops over the next six days where there will
12:13 pm
be memorial services and a funeral for george floyd. give us a sense of the family. the other day they said they wanted peace. how are they doing through this? >> it's extremely emotional. they are asking to follow george's example of a peaceful protest. the medical examiner found that he died because he needed a breath. so the family does ask and i implore everybody to take a breath for peace, to take a breath for justice, to take a breath to heal our country and to take a breath mostly for george floyd. >> bill: how did they feel when they saw the looting across america and the violence we saw and the standoffs of so many protesters and police officers and so many american cities?
12:14 pm
>> the family has been consistent. they've always asked for peaceful protests. they've asked people to use their voices to demand accounts ability for actions. they always wanted peace. let's be clear about this. the protesters did not start these fires burning in the streets. these fires were started because police brutality and racist criminal justice system. the only way these fires can be put out is with police accoun accountability and justice for all americans. >> bill: ben crumb, thanks for your time today and thanks for being with me in minneapolis. we're waiting on the a.g. in minnesota. maybe that happens this hour. ted williams has been with us since the beginning. fill in the blanks here on how the story appears to be changing as we speak right now, ted.
12:15 pm
>> i listen there to my good friend, ben crump who i spoke with yesterday. and i also know dr. michael bowden, who is a friends of mine. i have a feeling here that it's going to be relatively interesting as to what takes place. we've been told that the charges are going to be elevated against officer chauvin to second degree murder. what does that mean? second degree murder is an intentional murder or lacks premeditation and admits that he, officer chauvin, intended to cause great bodily harm. he lacked disregard for human life. the officers, the other three officers made the charge with aiding an abetting. that means in some form, shape or fashion that they were going to be accused of assisting
12:16 pm
officer chauvin. so as you said, bill, we're waiting to hear from the attorney general. i got to tell you that the problem that they may have are these conflicted autopsies. dr. michael bowden conducted an autopsy. the city or the state conducted their autopsy. there is some conflict in there. now, i understand what mr. crump meant when he said what they're going to try to do is sully mr. floyd up saying that he had perhaps illegal drugs in his system. that will all play out at the trial. what isappening here, bill,s we're having to deal with increments. the first increment is to wait for attorney general keith ellison to tell u what if any
12:17 pm
new charges will be brought against chauvin and the police officers. >> bill: ted, thanks for that. it was this week where ben crump said we know it will play out through the trial on that very point about the autopsy. we'll see how that plays out in time. thank you, ted. nice to see you today. more news to get to surrounding this story. thanks, ted. see you soon. here's mark esper earlier today as well. >> the option to use active duty forces should only be used as a matter of last resort and the most urgent and dire situations. we're not in one of those situations now. i do not support invoking the insurrection act. >> bill: so defense secretary mark esper speaking out after president trump said he wanted to use the military to contain violence. jennifer griffin has that story for us at the pentagon. jennifer? >> secretary esper stood alone at the podium. his first briefing since the president began mulling whether to invoke the insurrection act. the defense secretary has come
12:18 pm
under fire by former top military officers for using militarized terms. he said it was a poor choice of words. >> it's notice a phrase focused on people. certainly not on our fellow americans. in retrospect, i would use difference words. >> responding to criticism that he allowed the military to be used as a prop for political purposes. he said he didn't know where they were going when he followed the president and defended general milley saying they were rerouted from the ops center to the white house. >> i didn't know we were going to the church. the president takes a pool with them. i stay apolitical.
12:19 pm
it was not a military decision or action. >> esper said the national guard did not fire rubber bullets or tear gas in lafayette square. the park police say they fired smoke canisters and pepper balls which the cdc says is the form of a tear gas. in terms of the blackhawk helicopter which scared protesters generally used to disburse crowds in baghdad, esper ordered an investigation.. he said active duty troops that were sent to d.c. were on alert despite news reports that they are being sent home as of today. bill? >> bill: thanks, jennifer griffin. meanwhile, bill de blasio praising the nypd after a calmer night. the earlier curfew at 8:00 helped tremendously. tense moment. protesters packed under a bridge
12:20 pm
that connects manhattan and brooklyn. that later eased. laura ingle is outside saks fifth avenue where they got new measures in place. what are you seeing today, laura? >> they sure do. problemry the most dramatic ones that we've seen in the city. bill, there's as you mentioned been a very big improvement over the last 24 hours and with scenes like this one, it happens, this is saks fifth avenue. they have the razor wire going all the way around the building. plywood. they hired private security guards and as night falls, they brought in dogs last night and will bring them back in again. we're talking german shepherds and pitbulls help guard one of new york's most iconic stores. now, the curfew didn't stop thousands of protesters from marching throughout the city in brooklyn. a huge group of demonstrators tried to make it over the manhattan bridge but were stopped by the nypd, which had
12:21 pm
cut off access with a line of officers. the people were stuck for hours after being turned around. it was an effective move to lower the amount of people enteri entering manhattan last night. the nypd saided that had 280 arrests. there were some reports of looting and vandalism. the governor of new york and the mayor of new york city have had their own war of words over how the nypd handled the situation. mayor bill de blasio demanded an apolo apology. we heard the apology happened and they're moving on. the curfew 8:00 p.m. tonight. we'll see how it goes. >> bill: thanks, laura. as we await new charges in the death of george floyd being reported now in st. paul, minnesota. other news breaking. in charlotte, the party is over

12:26 pm
>> bill: this in from los angeles. just after 12:30 there. in l.a. watching that picture develop. the camera has been set up in st. paul. we do believe we'll get an announcement on charge of changes in 30 minutes from now. mean time, major political news. you won't find this every day. the president has pulled the plug on holding the republican convention in charlotte, north carolina tweeting that the democratic governor roy cooper left him no choice but to find another place in another state.
12:27 pm
that's what they'll do. cooper said that it's a shame that republicans won't scale down their plans and keep people safe. how are you guys doing? chris, go ahead. north carolina, 15 electoral votes. close in 2016. 3 1/2 points. how much does this matter in the end? >> with a competitive governor's race, with a competitive senate race, with the president needing to make up ground there, so this is obviously significant for the fall. but i don't think the president wanted to have -- to show weakness and have a smaller or do what democrats are doing with a smaller convention. the problem is now where do you go? wherever you go, you'll bring civil unrest and concerns about coronavirus. and ron desantis in florida may have a home for him. i think the president out to
12:28 pm
doing it at the doral, at the resort in florida where you can have a theme park setting. it will be tough to find a spot anywhere in america where you can do the real thing. you can do the full size thing. >> bill: just trying to see how much it matters. north carolina will be heavily contested. donna, what do you think about this and where do they go? >> i agree with everything chris just said. where do you go at this last minute? especially when you're still under a state of emergency, the governor, governor roy cooper is just trying to follow the cdc federal guidelines. the white house wants it all. they want a full barr a full arena, a full hotel at capacity. we're not there yet. i do believe they're going to have to work with state and local officials to ensure the safety of all of the participants, whether you're the media, the delegates. and to ensure that we don't put the cities itself at harm if they go to another place at the last minute.
12:29 pm
>> chief, both of you, i don't know how much thought you've given up this, can the president turn this in my favor, chris, when you put the focus on a democratic governor, said he wouldn't work with us and now we're going to x, name your place? >> cooper seems like he's popular in north carolina. does reinforce the notion that the president is trying to run as an incumbent and the victim of others working against him. i think this reinforces the perception of disarray. i would if i were in the shoes of the republican party try to play this out longer and not force this decision out. >> dnc said this. donald trump is more concerned about hosting a party for himself. he's abandoned if people of north carolina. that's for you, donna.
12:30 pm
a softball. problem is covid disappeared. none talks about it anymore. last comment, donna. >> i still care about covid. as you well know, it's taken one too many lives. over 100,000 americans. millions sickened by this pandemic. governor cooper was on the phone on friday night with the white house, with the rnc. he's tried to work with them. the fact is, they want to abandon north carolina, fine. we'll take those 15 electoral votes and any other states you want to leave for us. the bottom line, it's the safety and health of the american people that should be our number 1 priority. >> thanks, donna. thanks, chris. nice to see you back together. talk soon. a lot of live pictures across the country. we expect new charges coming in the ex -- next 30 minutes. the hud secretary dr. ben carson is my guest and i'll speak with
12:31 pm
him live after this.
12:32 pm
12:33 pm
12:34 pm
12:35 pm
>> bill: welcome back. fox news can confirmed that three officers have be charged and will have their charges upgraded. first, dr. ben carson joins me. nice to see you. i saw you saw something like a national listening tour on behalf of the president. how is that coming together? >> we're looking at the various possibilities, what is the best way to take advantage of this situation, start a national dialogue. make sure that we can help to resolve the conflicts that obviously are no good for our nation going forward. >> bill: you wonder how you make it right. we've been in this spot a lot.
12:36 pm
have you given it any consideration? where are you now on that? >> here's the thing. our nation is very strong. the underlying economic fundamentals are strong. we'll get back on the right track again. things were working well for the minority communities. lowest unemployment rate, poverty going down. opportunities flourishing particularly in the opportunities zone. and we'll get back to that. but it doesn't obliterate the fact that a lot of people feel the system is unfair. obviously we wanted to hear what their solutions are. varying from the solutions that have already been brought forth. and you know, we want to be fair to everybody. we don't want to do this in an idealogical fashion so that subsequently down the line it changes. so we want to have everybody
12:37 pm
involved. >> bill: what do you start with that? what can the government do for these reeling communities? there's a lot of anger on the streets. some of that is carried out in a peaceful way and then a lot of crime that shouldn't happen in various american cities. where do you start? the first place is not getting into corners and trying to castigate on people. always blaming other people for problems. each of us can take a look in the mirror and say what can i do that can make a difference? am i part of the solution or part of the problem? that's a difference. every solution does not necessarily come from the federal government. it's all of us involved. the federal government is there to help facilitate life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. not to control and guarantee everything that happens in our lives. we need to move toward more
12:38 pm
self-responsibility, more caring about our neighbors and what can we do to help them. >> bill: but you also know, mr. secretary, that some believe that you have to burn it down to get the attention of the authorities. we're seeing that. >> the people that believe that have totally forgotten who the most effective person in bringing about social change is dr. martin luther king. he advocated for peaceful protests. he was extremely successful in doing so. why don't we look back at things that work rather than come up with somethings that has never worked, violence. >> bill: thank you, mr. secretary. ben carson with me today. thank you. we'll speak again soon. >> absolutely. >> bill: you're seeing los angeles screen left. meantime, bring in robert wray, former independent counsel in the whitewater investigation. this is what we can confirmed
12:39 pm
with regard to the three other officers. going to get the official word at 4:00 eastern time, 3:00 in st. paul. that will be charged with two counts of aiding an abetting second degree murder. the officers face 50 years in prison, up to $20,000 fine. let's begin there with what the a.g. is doing in minnesota. how do you see that play? >> well, bill, it's a significant upgrade of charges. not only gone from third degree to second degree murder with regard to the principal officer but now aiding and aabetting charges. it adds all four involved and upgrades the charges to second degree murder, which must mean that the attorney general believes that he can prove before a jury unanimously that there was an intent to kill.
12:40 pm
>> bill: also unconfirmed reports that the officers charged with a change of second degree murder, which is punishable by up to 40 years in prison. ben crump started our show. she wanted first degree murder. those to suggest that they undercharged the officer to begin, rudy guliani is one of them. how could a significant of a change be if it's second degree instead of third? >> two things to say. a prosecutor's obligation is to charge the most serious readily provable crime that the prosecutor believes was committed and that can be sustained before a jury unanimously beyond a reasonable doubt. now, there can be some different of opinion about whether or not the evidence is sufficient to have proved from the outset a second degree murder charge. the second thing i'll say, obviously the jury is free to settle on even after they hear
12:41 pm
the evidence a lesser included, less serious charge, which would be third degree murder. so look, i think it's an attempt by the attorney general to say that this is treated so seriously that they believe that they have sufficient evidence to prove intent to kill. if they don't before a jury a jury may be able to settle on something less than that. it's also not an insignificant development that now these three other officers will be arrested and prosecutors and will stand trial and stand trial as aiders and abetters on the second degree murder charge. that's significant. >> bill: one last question here. a quick answer. the attorney in minnesota said the prosecutors are moving at lightning speed. this is monday a week ago. so we're ten days removed from the earth the of george floyd. are they moving at lightning speed? is that how you characterize it, sir? >> it guess it depends on context. yes, with regard to most
12:42 pm
ordinary investigations, it would be unusual for things to move this quickly against police officers. we're in a new environment, if it's not been apparent to everybody already. you know, the country is watching and waiting and you have rioting in the streets depending on the outcome of this. i hope this will provide some satisfaction to those protesting that this matter is being treated seriously and these four officers are going to be prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law. >> thanks for your time. >> bill: thanks, robert. we'll speak soon. thank you, robert ray for being here today. another big story, rod rosenstein says he would note have signed a key fisa warrant if he knew then what he knows now. talk to a senator that was in the room. martha maccallum weighs in next. attention veterans with va loans. mortgage rates are now at all time lows.

12:47 pm
>> if you knew then what you know now, would you have signed the warrant application? >> i wouldn't have. >> and the reason why because information was withheld from the court, right? >> among others reasons. >> bill: this is interesting. rod rosenstein talking about the fisa warrant application. cart carter page. we're going to bring in republican senator, mike crapo from idaho. what did you learn today that you didn't know already, senator? >> bill, we've been learning this all along. but three big take aways today.
12:48 pm
first, deputy attorney general rosenstein said that the russians did try to intercept and interfere with our election but no american conspired with them.secondly, the bias was clearly established and third as we've already indicated, rosenstein said had he known about the bias and the violations, the extensive violations of law and policy, he would not have signed the fisa warrant application. >> bill: wow. is that a general lack of curiosity do you find or was this a rubber stamp in washington d.c.? >> i'll tell you what it is. there were 17 serious violations that the i.g. found. the i.g. answered questions for me in a hearing last year that it was inexplicable. it is explicable.
12:49 pm
and crossfire hurricane was an investigation of the president of the united states and false and criminally altered ed so that they could continue to conduct these operations. this is the kind of thing that congress must prohibit by reforming fisa and making sure that americans cannot be wiretapped or spied on without their knowledge our without the right to protect their rights in court. >> bill: senator, thanks for your time today. i'm short on time. thanks for injuries. what is next? can you answer that? >> tomorrow morning the judiciary committee will meet again and i expect that they will authorize the chairman to issue up to 50 or more subpoenas for other witnesses. we're going to dig into the depth of this. maybe what i.g. horowitz said was inexplicable will be
12:50 pm
explained. >> bill: thanks, senator. want to get to breaking news. we expect the a.g. in minnesota to announce the upgraded charges of the fired police officer, derek chauvin. that will include the following. second degree murder, third degree murder and manslaughter. as we await that, long gathering in los angeles. want to bring in martha maccallum, anchor of "the story." it was a calmer night in new york city. i guess the statement that can be made about that is that curfews work. 8:00 p.m., right at sun down, it went into effect. not everybody left the streets but we didn't see the town torched the way we saw the previous two nights. >> yeah, i think, bill, that was a lesson that was learned from what happened in washington d.c. the first night they went to 11:00 p.m. woe saw what happened to the
12:51 pm
national monuments, the st. johns's church in lafayette square park. new york tried to push it another night keeping open late. last night made a difference. obviously opens the door to more arrests. nearly 300 arrests last night. i'm sure a large number of those were for breaking curfew. so it gives the police the added ability to take people off the street for being out there. and i think, you know, there was so much pressure obviously on the new york police department after being criticized by governor cuomo, which i think just really rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. and then, you know, mayor de blasio was not empowering them the way that they needed to be empowered. you see a lot of push back on that today. george floyd's brother, terrence floyd, was in new york a short time ago. he spoke to the public with commissioner dermot shea about nonviolence. hopefully this will gives us a night that is relatively peaceful tonight. >> bill: let's hope for that.
