and ask why would your son be involved in a money-laundering investigation. is that anything to do with the big guy, and bring the signed receipt front are biden who turned over the computer to the store and signed his name to it and say who's signature is this? >> the biden campaign has denied allegations of foreign pretty quid pro quos but have not explicitly denied hunter's alleged emails. >> the man accused of murdering a sheriff deputy will face a judge. officials say ray kelly started a fight with deputies during a traffic stop on tuesday. kelly's car then sped up causing two crashes. sergeant connolly jumper was killed during that crash, was on the force for 28 years. the funeral for jumper will be held tomorrow. he leaves behind a wife and a daughter. steve mnuchin and nancy pelosi will continue talks on a covid-19 release deal after

>> this is a very sad situation. when you first look at this these police officers were responding to a domestic situation. there was no violence as far as the reports go so these individuals likely not going to be arrested so his immigration status would never have come up yet this individual was emboldened enough that he started shooting at police officers that were only going there to allow possession. it is so sad law enforcement right now because of the attacks that are going on our under this strain in everything we do and see and everything we say, a truly sad situation. todd: let's put on the screen the suspect's rap sheet. it is lengthy and it does

democrats planning to boycott today, what could happen as a result of this. what they hope will happen, what they hope will happen, they complained about 4 weeks will come to a screeching halt and judge barrett will not become justice barrett but that is not the case. today you will see a lot of political shenanigans but you will see judiciary committee vote judge barrett out of the committee onto the floor of the united states senate. by monday we will see justice barrett ready to take the bench at the supreme court of the united states. jillian: you don't think this causes any delay? >> i don't think so. senate will allow for such a thing as this and the american people know a good justice when they see one even if democrats do not. the american people as their support continues to grow for judge barrett day by day, planked for 33 years.

and the left has consistently done everything, to scuttle nominations and confirmations, can turn turning a blind eye to liberal justices that have been nominated to the supreme court. the american people are sick and tired of political games at play. they know the importance of the supreme court, that the left needs to advance policy goals they can't achieve in the legislature but they are not going to have that. as comfortable behind the wheel of the minivan on the bench of the supreme court so by monday we will see justice barrett ready to take the supreme court of the united states. jillian: a variety of voters back her confirmation. 51% in favor, 51% opposed. when you look at how the nomination process is gone down from the beginning, how

political has it been compared to any of the others in the past? >> remarkably political. in 1955 dwight eisenhower did a recess appointment of a justice and went on to get reelection and the justice was confirmed in the next year, 1957. maybe that is more political than having a recess appointments but the left has been consistent, there were no questions being asked of judge barrett because they can't question her qualifications as a constitutional scholar and excellent judge, all they can do is bring up a poster board and every conspiracy theory under the sun to throw at her in hopes of slowing the nomination process down. they haven't been able to do that. today they decide to put up cardboard cutouts of the world series without being there.

they want serious leaders to confirm a person like judge barrett. jillian: thank you for joining us with your insight. appreciate it. we will be right back. - [narrator] the shark vacmop combines powerful suction with spray mopping to lock away debris and absorb wet messes, all in one disposable pad. just vacuum, spray mop, and toss. the shark vacmop, a complete clean all in one disposable pad. . .

what i consider a red state this close? is it that people love joe biden that much down there? is it, you know, liberal flight you from the northeast? what is it? >> you know, actually, todd, that's a pretty good indication for the president. i know from experience because i was elected in the ninth district in north carolina last years shows behind the poinsettia polls 2 or 3 points ahead. polls have tightened. one point. i will take that. jillian: early voting in your state in north carolina here by party affiliation. and this has democrats really outnumberrerring republicans at this point. even independents are out to vote this year as compared to other years. and they are outnumbering republicans. 613,000 independent early voters in north carolina. those are the numbers. but this really struck me yesterday while i was readings this that in north carolina you

will allow votes 9 days. >> jillian, first of all, the turnout patterns actually historical norms and they are a little better for republicans a point or two here or there so far. this thing about the nine days extra. there has been litigation filed by democrats in tight states all over the country to change the election rules set by state legislatures. for the most part they are attacks on ballot security measures for absentee mail-in ballots. the same has been the case in north carolina. part of it has been stopped in litigation that i have a part of. they have tried to eliminate the witness requirement. that's been ordered reinstated by a federal judge. but will the eliminating or delaying the final deadline for receipt of mailed in ballots

until nine days after the election coupled with the possibility of dumping ballots into contactless drop boxes outside of election places is terrible. as one of the dissenting judges in the fourth circuit of appeals there are endless lawsuits attempting to change these rules. and apparently it's because people expect to lose and maybe they want to give an opportunity to see things change in the days after the election. but it's not the way we should run elections. jillian: real quick 20 seconds to go. do you think this nine day thing stays in way or are there chances of change at all? >> the lawyers will be filing a request to the united states supreme court today for a stay, an injunction to reverse that result. we are still hopeful and we are going to be village length and keep working. president trump is going to need to win by a lot to avoid these controversies at the end. jillian: unbelievable. dan bishop, thank you for joining us. we appreciate your time.
