family. we've been waiting for these for a while. they show how those who contributed to hunter's ventures were seemingly reward evidence with access to his father. >> bill: it all flies in the face of what the president and his staff have been saying on repeat. >> have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings? >> president biden: i've never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. >> do they stand behind the comment he has never been involved or spoken to his son about his business? >> i've been asked this question a million times. the answer won't change. the answer remains the same. the president was never in business with his son. >> dana: chad pergram is live on capitol hill. she has been asked that question a lot. her answer did change slightly and we have noticed that. what did you find out this morning from the new records? >> good morning. the question is what was hunter biden doing to earn access to this money? republicans on the house oversight committee say the new records detail a pay to play scheme. proof of $20 million sent to the bidens from foreign business sources. the committee says russian, ukrainian and kazakhstan funneled money to companies tied to hunter biden and a shell company associated with hunter biden business partner devon archer. president kind with people in washington and archer and hunter biden and burisma put hunter biden on the board. >> it involved a foreign country or foreign national wiring money to a fake company. then the fake company would then turn around and wire the money to the biden family members. they did this to hide the source of the revenue because they weren't supposed to get money from many of these countries. >> republicans are trying to draw a line from these payments to the president. >> this isn't about hunter biden. this is about paying to play for the biden family because the money goes to nine different members through shell companies much like the informant said. >> the committee says a kazakhstan oligarch transferred 142,000 to hunter biden for a sports car. democrats contend there is no wrongdoing by the president. >> archer himself said that hunter biden was trying to pitch the illusion of access. there is all of these threads of conspiracy that the republicans have been unable to tie together to embarrass the president. >> gop says impeachment is not just pay to play but pay to dine and drive. dana. >> dana: chad pergram on the hill. >> bill: byron york, some analysis. good morning. this is ukraine, russia, kazakhstan. chad has been on the story from the beginning. when he found out about kazakhstan two weeks ago it surprised -- not like it is england, france and italy, byron. >> these are some very troubled parts of the world known for their corruption and it is clearly something that is a major, major influence on the united states policy. and what we've seen with these new documents this morning is shedding more light on how some of this actually worked. chad mentioned this dinner. spring of 2014 it was at cafe milano in washington. joe biden went there and went there for dinner. we have heard about biden maybe showing up shaking a couple of hands and leaving. no, he was there for the dinner. the interesting thing is there was a woman, a russian billionaire. her late husband had been mayor of moscow. she sends $3.5 million to rosemont seneca, hunter biden's company. amazingly enough around the same time she finds herself at dinner at cafe milano with the vice president of the united states. now if you listen to devon archer and his testimony it's amazing. most of the time everybody seemed to be talking about the weather. they are just talking about the weather all the time. but republicans are a bit more suspicious than that and want to find out what business may have been transacted at these meetings. >> dana: byron, it is pretty remarkable to go back and watch that one clip where peter doocy asked joe biden on the campaign trail and biden says i never spoke to my son about his business dealings. and i just think i wonder how long they can go with trying to live that fiction since we know they didn't just talk about the weather. you know you don't get invited the cafe milano. as vice president you are a super busy person. to go to cafe milano with your son, you don't talk about the weather. maybe not business but his presence at the vice president was obvious for that. i just wonder about the media and there is no interest in this story? >> well, the white house is basically stuck with the story, and the thing about the devon archer testimony, it demolished the former vice president, now president's story about never having discussed business matters with his son. it blew it up. and the white house has amended the story saying that joe biden was never, quote, in business, with his son. but we've never seen any sort of reconciliation with the kind of stuff the president -- now president was saying that he never discussed this with his son. that he had no knowledge of this with his son. now we see him going to dinner with people who just sent 3 1/2 million dollars to his son's companies. so when you mention the media, the question is, is the white house under pressure to actually talk about this, to account for this? are there people other than fox news really keeping up the reporter pressure on this? >> bill: no. >> the answer is no. until there are, they probably feel like they can get away with it. >> dana: they don't do interviews, either. he did an interview with the weather channel. they didn't ask about hunter biden. >> more talk about the weather. >> dana: they don't do any interviews. astounding. they were going to return to norms and he was going to be so transparent. i think if they were even willing for him to do an interview i can't imagine there is a national reporter from even from the white house that wouldn't ask. do you think that's possible? i ask you both. >> well, first, i just don't know. as far as the interviews are concerned that's right. this president is not very accessible at all. although i would say i think there are other reasons that play into the white house calculation, which is the president's attention span, his tendency to commit gaffes, his tendency to lose his train of thought, which we're seeing more and more with him. all of those are not good prerequisites for a hard hitting media interview. the fact is white house's feel a lot of pressure when there is a full scale media presssing on about this story. with this story there isn't one. >> bill: thank you so much. nice to see you today. keep in mind what the headline is. james comer is now saying they can account for more than $20 million in payments from foreign sources. kazakhstan is the latest. devon archer in the q and a was behind closed doors, not under oath. i think it's a good chance that this house committee after labor day could bring devon archer for a hearing on the hill. see whether or not it happens. >> dana: as the press second we have to comment. sometimes you can get through it. also as a press secretary you have an obligation to make sure the press has access to the president and that is certainly not happening. today marks two weeks from the first gop debate of the 2024 election cycle. we're getting our first look at the rnc's highly anticipated loyalty pledge. >> bill: breaking details on the second republican debate. not going to stop at one. the second republican debate is now public. it will take place exactly five weeks later in simi valley, california at the reagan library september 27th brought to you by fox business. two hours in milwaukee coming up in two weeks, another two hours at the end of september. criteria changes for debate two. you have to poll better across the country. we'll see who does and doesn't. >> dana: mark meredith has that for us now. >> good morning. the excitement is building. countdown is on for the first debate. we know one more big name will be on the debate stage in milwaukee. former vice president mike pence. he had told reporters he was confident he would make the first debate. we don't know if his old boss president trump will show up. if so the two men debate each other on the same stage. an historic moment in politics. pence may have to address a new campaign ad out that shows him laying out his energy plan. critics are mocking the moment because it appears pence is not filling up his gas tank or holding down the right lever to pump gas. the stage is getting crowded with eight candidates qualifying for the debate. so far only one candidate has signed the loyalty pledge from the rnc to support the eventual nominee, that's vivek ramaswamy. we'll see if more names are added within the next day or so. they have to sign it before the debate. ron desantis qualified for the debate and taking steps to show he takes america's rising crime crisis seriously. he suspended a state attorney in orlando. policies coming out of the ninth judicial circuit allow violent offenders to go free. the governor issued suspended a state attorney in november of 2020. she campaigned on restoring equity to the justice system but the governor said her office is creating more problems than solutions. >> we had a duty to act to protect the public from this dereliction of duty. >> as for former president trump, frontrunner in the race was in new hampshire claiming the criminal cases against him are impacting his ability to campaign in the same early states but he is getting ready to visit iowa this weekend for the state fair. always a big event. >> dana: remember when he took the helicopter there and gave the kids a ride? it was a big deal. thank you, mark. >> bill: if you watch this story from hawaii. fast moving fires in hawaii complicating efforts to get these flames under control. that looks like a mess. we'll update you on that. plus this. check it out. >> we have to do something. can you say do something?

>> they are trying very, very hard. trying to figure out a strategy that will actually work with this gop conference. fox has obtained a letter written by congressman chip roy of texas that is circulating within the gop conference. basically this letter says, bill, if president biden doesn't meet chip roy's list of demands nobody should vote for any money to fund the department of homeland security. some of these demands signing the border bill into law. giving law enforcement tools to target cartels. reimbursing texas $10 billion for securing the border and removing secretary mayokas from office. firing mayokas. the ultimatum comes as the conference is struggling hard to find a vote to impeach mayokas. hearing a lot of impeachment talk hasn't happened yet. moderates are stalling because they fear the political ramifications. >> keep trying to sell my colleagues that we're past time for impeachment inquiry. i always believed until recently the low hanging fruit to be honest with you. >> so congress biggs led an oversight field hearing at the arizona border how the crisis is impacting border communities, one rancher told lawmakers the number of migrants coming across his property shot up when president biden took office and that's hurting his community. >> school systems are ruined. hospital systems are ruined. your welfare is ruined. america is nowhere near what it was when i grew up. >> congressman biggs tells me impeachment and impeaching mayokas in particular is what everybody wants to talk about in arizona. >> bill: we'll see where it goes, thanks. >> i know those who live here know we're clearly in a war zone. we're tired of this. enough is enough. excuse my language i want to be frank to the young men and ladies it's not okay for you to load up 30, 40, 50, 120 rounds in a gun and shoot up our community because b.j. didn't deserve this. >> dana: enough is enough is a d.c. city council member. leaders have to step up to preserve public safety in the nation's capitol. the mother of d.j. hodges. he was killed at a mass shooting in d.c. over the weekend. her son was frustrated over the rise of deadly violence in the community that he loved. she joins us now, thank you for being here. i want to talk about b.j. in a moment and what an incredible young person he was and a father and somebody who was super responsible and cared. first tell me what happened as you understand it the night when he was shot. >> well, i don't have a whole lot of information. i know that my son had called me on saturday afternoon around 5:45 and said that, you know, his children wanted to come and stay with me. he had them on the phone. he said they are bugging me to bring them over to you. i said that's fine. so around 6:30 -- between 5:30 and 6:00 dropped the children off and looked at his mail because he had a lot of mail that was piling up and gave my mother, his grandmother, a kiss. i kind of patted him on the shoulders like what's up, b.j.? about an hour later, not quite an hour, i got a call from his sister, my daughter, and someone called her and said b.j. is dead. they said he was dead. i just -- when it hit me i stayed calm because i had his children with me. i couldn't really show too much reaction. but his 6-year-old son, out of the blue didn't know anything and just started praying. he was looking at video games. all of a sudden he dropped his device and started praying and put his hands together and said pray for all mommies. pray for all daddies and i'm looking and i know my daughter and i gave me the word and so i asked my 25-year-old grandson to come and watch the children while i go out to the scene and it was the most saddest sight that you ever, ever would want to see. there were other bodies that was on the ground and first body i saw was no, that's not my son. so i was a little in disbelief like maybe they got mistaken. they said there were two other bodies that was on the ground. i said please, please, let me go and touch my son and see him one last time. i just saw him just an hour ago. please, jesus, but the detectives -- police would not let me through the yellow tape. i remember vaguely i fought through and they pulled me back and was holding and i was jesus, jesus, got to praying. this was your son, what would you do? if this was your child what would you do? please let me go touch my son, let me touch my child. i'm a very spiritual person and i always believe a person shouldn't be alone if they, you know, are crossing over. that's just how i am but just it was somebody driving by. i still don't have all what actually happened. >> dana: tempe, i think our viewers will be taken with you and our hearts are with you and prayers as well. you are a very spiritual person and one of the things that i understand you had said is that the police cannot keep up with the crime there. what would you -- what do you think it will take to get something to happen? >> well, if you ever was to go around different neighborhoods and just see guys hanging out, you may notice that there are no activity centers, there are no recreation centers, there is nothing like vocational schools because that's one of the things my son was very, very animated about was education. he held three jobs. so when you ride around the city you see people just sitting out, hanging out, it is just a sad look. if i lived there in that area and saw that these guys i would not want to live in that area because it is a sad sight to see so many. it is a bunch. >> dana: let's talk about b.j. he is 35 years old raising his family. he has a wife and our sympathies are with her as well. he worked three jobs. attended school to be an h vac technician. and graduated as salutatorian. he worked in the boiler room at mgm and when he got off he would work another job in the morning. >> at the water company. >> dana: you did everything right. and yet you still had this terrible thing happen to you. >> most definitely. so sad. i look at the news every day and see this happen to other people. but when it hits, it hits a little different when it is your own. god knows i don't wish this on no one. like i said i'm a very spiritual person and i know my god is able and gives me the strength that i need and gives me the strength to be strong for my family. >> dana: there were 161 homicides year-to-date this year in washington, d.c. that's a 28% increase over the same period last year. it is unacceptable and your voice is so important. i want a hug from you one day. that's what i want. i hope we stay in touch. >> most definitely, yes. i want to keep my son's name and everyone know him as b.j. i want to keep his name alive and build a legacy. i would love to see a recreation center in his honor. >> dana: tempe, thank you. take care. >> bill: strong woman. 28 past. we have news from the war in ukraine. putin blaming kiev again as russia claims they shot down two drones flying near moscow. what comes next. we'll take you there coming up. two weeks until the first republican debate on fox news.

>> it speaks to the potency of abortion as a political issue. the fact that every pro-life ballot initiative has failed post dobbs and drives turn-outs. i sat down with the kansas pro-life leader twice who pointed to me on a chart of voter registration the exact moment the dobbs decision happened you see an almost vertical increase in young women voter registration. you go on to have the kansas ballot initiative last august. pro-lifers lost. the highest turnout ever for a kansas primary including presidential primaries and senate primaries and then you go and fast forward to this august in ohio, what do you see? two times the number of voter turnout of the previous year which again had statewide primaries. so republicans, there is a way to win on this issue but they need to get on offense. >> dana: as i understand it for the grassroots on the left they were super organized. now they have all the information. they're very good on the phones, right? they know where your precinct is going to -- the dobbs decision initially supreme court said this is for the states to decide. the states are deciding. but there is federal legislation and you have republican candidates about to debate two weeks from today. all of them have been sort of not really wanting to take on this issue. this issue will take them on if they don't. >> yes. republicans must take this head on. advice, number one, talk about supporting mothers. pregnant women. vulnerable women. rubio has done that. the unborn child support act. the child support from the moment of conception. why aren't republicans talking about that? internal polling from the nrfc when you talk about it from a place of compassion you win. legislature overrode three ballots. a doctor talked about treating a baby who survived an abortion and democrats joined them in overturning that. third point expose the ex strewsism of democrats. i would love to see a presidential candidate look at joe biden and say president biden, when does a baby feel pain? why isn't every democrat asked that question? >> bill: joe biden as a catholic was pro-life and changed during his political career. what this means is that there will be a constitutional ballot amendment in november in ohio that will enshrine it in the constitution. the arizona governor suggested that they will have one as well. not this year but during the presidential year of 2024. something to watch. put up call for number three. this is where we think the state of the race is right now for republicans trump at 54%, ron desantis trails by 17, we have our debate in two weeks. we announced another debate on fox business that will follow five weeks later in california. excited about them both. how do you see it going? will trump show up? >> he should. look at the number 54%, right? look over to the other side of the aisle. biden at 64% in the "new york times" poll. what this means is you have former president trump running as a presidential incumbent. he has the strength almost of joe biden who only has two opponents, one unknown and one not a democrat how his party perceives it. trump has eight opponents and garnering the majority of the vote. debate is a shining moment. >> dana: get all of them on record of their support, right? >> absolutely. >> dana: i will be glad to have you on any time. >> bill: thank you. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: well, it's the catch that got everyone talking. center fielder rodriguez fools almost everyone after making a leaping catch of a home run. i don't know what i'm talking about. rodriguez jumps at the wall and shows in reaction and walks from the warning track. what does that mean?
