12:07 pm
there is a good chance on tuesday for the first debate there will be still be riots. one of the categories is race and violence. i wonder how these two men will handle that topic. >> that's a great topic. when chris wallace put out the topics, he got criticism from the left saying it was too focussed on trump's narrative of violence in cities. but race and violence is what we have been looking at in cities across the country. louisville and also the protests in minneapolis and seattle and portla portland. it's a topic to see how the candidates will answer and go at each other. we should look at this as a moment where the moderator,
12:08 pm
and chris is very good at setting up the moment where the two of them go at each other about substance. that's what the debate is all about. >> bill: i expect the president to go after the left. >> absolutely. >> bill: we mentioned the campaign trail. later tonight north carolina first and then florida. i want to look at this. i think what is developing, follow this online too. when the mail-in ballots come back, can you track that based on party. here are the results from 2016. easy 2-1 victory for clinton back in 2016. here's what i find interesting developing: the state of north carolina right now razor tight when you put the averages together. that could be expected at the moment. this, however, is what sticks out to me. these are mail-in ballots accepted us far in north carolina.
12:09 pm
among democrats over 100,000. republicans at 31,000 and no party affiliation which is a growing part of the electorate. it will change every day. we heard some reporting suggesting that democrats who suggested go ahead and mail in your ballot early are backing away from that. what would be the strategy behind that in north carolina? >> well, they are scared that these ballots, people are sending them in. not completing them like they need to be completed. thousands of ballots are thrown out every year because they are not in the proper envelope or the signature is not in the right place. or they don't fill it out correctly. they are pushing all of these voters to get there and send in the ballots as opposed to going to early voting which most
12:10 pm
states also have. in doing that, they are raising the possibility that some of those ballots will get thrown out. they are worried about the possibility. >> bill: my guess is depending on where we are with covid-19 in 40 days that will determine a lot as to who shows up in person and who already requested an absentee ballot already. >> dr. fauci is conservative but says voting is safe. with a mask and social distancing, yes the lines could be long but it's safe. a lot of states are doing early voting and some allow them to call and say should i come in at this certain time? i think that's how a lot of republicans will vote. >> bill: see you at 6 o'clock and in cleveland over the
12:11 pm
weekend. bret bai bret baier "special report." the president taking questions right now. a lot of headlines from the readout ever his answers. we will play that for you in a moment. also this moving today, there is fallout from the hunter biden investigation. republican senators say joe biden's son working for a ukrainian gas company was problematic. there have been books written about it and the author will tell us what he learned. the fight to fill the seat in the highest court. josh hawley sits on the judiciary committee. also there is this to watch. >> [shouting]. >> bill: that's video from louisville showing protestors unloading supplies from a u-haul. we will continue in a moment here. attention veteran homeowners: record low mortgage rates have dropped even lower.

12:16 pm
warning signs about biden's son. biden's campaign said the investigation was based on a debunked conspiracy theory. i want to bring in author peter. you have seen the report. what can we conclude from this thus far if anything? >> well, there are some interesting revelations in in report. i would say i put the skeleton together in the sense of looking at the fact that the biden family is connected financially to ukraine and china. they put a lot of meat on the bones here. they did that because they had access to the treasury department suspicious activity reports that flag transactions that are suspicious because of who they are coming from or the amount of money. there were numb ruse involving
12:17 pm
hunter biden. i think the report adds a lot of meat. remember, bill, this is only a preliminary report. they expect more down the road. >> bill: "wall street journal" the quote from today: here's my question then, does it just look bad or is there something criminal here? >> that's a good question. part of the problem in washington, d.c. is that politicians can do things that ceo's can't. in the ceo's son was leveraging his father's position, he would be probably be in trouble with the sec. that said, there is more here than just hunter biden bumling around getting these deals. let's remember when you are talking about the chinese or
12:18 pm
oligarch from russia or ukrainians, they are painting hunter biden a lot of money and he has no expertise in this. why did they pay him money and what far. >> that's the big unanswered question. hunter biden had no activity in any of these areas until his father became the vice-president of the united states. >> bill: two more things. a lot to go through. what democrats will argue is there no evidence this influenced policy while joe biden was vice-president of the united states. does that fly? >> well, i don't think it flies. part of the problem is we don't really know -- the senate did not have access, of course, to any of the personal documents involving joe biden's time as
12:19 pm
vice-president. we don't know. i think the point is that awn times you investigate things to figure out exactly what was going on. the fact of the matter is you have a lot of people that have suspicious backgrounds with legal activity. you have 3.5 million dollars going to hunter biden from a russian oligarch with known ties to organized crime. why did she pay hunter biden that money? >> bill: joe biden said he never talked to his son about. that they flew on the same plane on at least one trip and that was to china? >> yes. >> bill: is it a fact he never spoke to his son? >> well, he said that. this report demonstrates with testimony that is simply not true. it shows the state department officials raised these issues with joe biden. that joe biden talked to his son about them. we also have the testimony of
12:20 pm
a chinese executive who said when they took that trip to china together in december of 2013 where joe biden said we never discussed business, the chinese executive told the new yorker he was introduced to joe biden by hunter biden. it seems as if there are major holes in joe biden's explanation. >> bill: do you think the american people are paying attention to this? is some something that president trump brings up during any of the debates? >> well, i think people care about it. when it was the question of alleged russian collusion, that had the national attention. there was not much substance to it. i think people do care. they believe we are electing people to represent us. if they are corrupt, they are not representing us as much as themselves and the interests paying them. >> bill: peter, thank you.

12:22 pm
i want to make it absolutely clear. rioting is not protesting. looting is not protesting. it's lawlessness, plain and simple. and those who do it should be prosecuted. fires are burning, and we have a president who fans the flames. he can't stop the violence because for years he's fomented it. but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows how weak he is. violence will not bring change, it will only bring destruction. it's wrong in every way. if i were president, my language would be less divisive.

12:37 pm
it was not an arbitrary police action. it was a tragedy. her current boyfriend fired at the cops and hitting one of them as they burst into the room. he used deadly force and they did and she was killed. i understand the out rage but the law is clear. not every tragedy is a crime. this is one of those cases. i think the president's tone was right and expressing his condolences to the family. i just wish the president would be like that about the peaceful transition of power like about breonna taylor. just say it! >> bill: lee leo, where does it
12:38 pm
topic fall in? >> this is part of the democratic playbook. they want to play the race card up until the day of the election. the shooting of the officers goes to the democratic playbook because they want to call trump a racist. this tragedy drove me away from the democratic party. the grand jury got it right. there were no criminal charges of murders against these officers. but you will have protests not only in louisville but across the country. the democrats want the blacks to be upset and angry. they are not looking at the facts. they don't care about the facts. we learned a lot about this case yesterday. those officers knocked before they came in and aannounced themselves. the boyfriend fire first.nnounc

12:40 pm
between now and november 3rd. >> bill: i remember new york in back in april when things were going back. leo, this was no evidence of it. >> that's direct evidence. that's an organized conspiracy to create chaos. admissible in trial. that u-haul truck. there is an organization behind this. you will have this for the next 40 days, bill hemmer. >> bill: thank you. florida's ag calling an investigation of michael bloomberg's plan to help convicted felons vote. >> pro-athlete including lebron james kicked in money to clear these debts. two years ago florida voters
