Tropical storm. Chief white house corr responsible Department John roberts with what the president had to say on a trip to fema ahead of his big rnc speech. Jonathan serrie begins there lafayette, louisiana. Good evening. Good evening. Emergency management officials confirmed four stormrelated fatalities in louisiana including a 14yearold girl. All of the victims died after trees fell on their homes. The winds associated with this powerful storm are causing problems far from the coast. Plumes of smoke erupted from a Chemical Plant in west lake. Hazmat teams work to contain a fire at the bio lab facility. Emergency alerts advised residents to shelter in place. Despite the heat theyre experiencing, shelter at home under those circumstances means that they need to be on the inside with the doors and windows closed and the air conditioning off if theyre lucky enough to have electricity. The plant is near the city of lake charles which had winds of 98 Miles Per Hour and a 132 Miles Per Hour gust as hurricane lauras eye wall tore through the community causing extensive damage to homes and businesses. Looks like a bomb went off in lake charles. So its pretty bad. Pretty catastrophic for us. The same breath that i say that, i also want to say this is not something that is going to be a knockout punch for lake charles. Heavy winds cause Severe Damage in Cameron Parrish where laura made a landfall around 1 00 a. M. As a strong category four hurricane. This was the most powerful storm to make landfall in louisiana. And it is still a powerful storm in the state of louisiana that is continuing to cause damage and life threatening conditions. Governor John Bell Edwards says the storm surge was half the height of the twostory wall of water in earlier predictions. A relief for inland communities relying on rivers to carry excess rain water to the gulf. Its all about lowering the levels of the vermilion river. If these levels can stay like, this well be okay. The further it rises up, the smaller the capacity is. Thats a concern for our region. After touring hurricane damage in texas, Governor Greg Abbott said hes state dodged a bullet but he promised relief to those affected as well as on going search and rescue efforts. Well continue the process until we know for a fact that there was no person who is unaccounted for. Governor abbott says texas has one unconfirmed fatality. Even if that turns out to be the case, he says this disaster could have been worse for his state. He credits prayerbret . Jonathan serrie live. Thank you. President trump received a storm update a few hours ago. Tonight the president will deliver his official renomination acceptance speech laying out his plans for a second term. Saying about the economy that he boosted before and can do it again after the coronavirus pandemic. Its his Job Interview with you, the voters, for another four years. John roberts has our story. At fema headquarters today, President Trump revealing that he considered pushing back his speech tonight because of the impact of hurricane laura. I was prepared to postpone the speech tonight and make it monday. I was going to texas, going to louisiana. Instead, he said he will travel this weekend to survey the damage himself. I just want to thank the people from fema in particular and all Law Enforcement and everyone else locally. Because they have done a fantastic job. We be going saturday or sunday. In his address, the president will bring his contrast with joe biden to a crescendo saying at the democrat convention, you barely heard a word about their agenda. Thats not because they dont have one. Its because their agenda is the most extreme set of proposals ever put forward by a major party nominee. His speech to appeal to swing voters that a warning that a Biden Victory would turn back progress and prosperity. The president saying that we have spent the last four years reversing the damage joe biden inflicted over the last 47 years. In his acceptance speech last night, the Vice President echoing that theme. When you consider their agenda, its clear. Joe biden would be nothing more than a trojan horse for the radical left. The president also pushing back of criticism of his Coronavirus Response from Kamala Harris today. What we did initially was a very important thing otherwise youd have millions of people dead. Now we have vaccines coming soon, therapeutics. Its incredible. Theres great danger to shutdowns. That is in the form of suicides, in the form of alcoholism and drug use. On night three of the convention, Elise Stefanik intisting the president is following the right course. President trump is working to safely reopen our main street economy. Joe biden wants to keep them locked up in the basement and crush them with 4 trillion in new taxes. The violence consuming cities across america expected to be a top issue tonight. President trump today pointing to an improvement in kenosha after the National Guard was sent in. Portland is a great example. Its been going on for 90 days. We can put it out in an hour. All we have to do is ask us to come and well be there with the National Guard. Democrats have complained long and loud about the president giving this speech from the white house. But it was actually a democratic president that set the precedent. Franklin roosevelt in 1940 gave his address to his convention from the white house. Back then it was on the radio, certainly didnt look anything like the setting behind me. Bret . John roberts on the south lawn tonight. See you in a bit. Former Vice President joe biden says President Trump is rooting for more violence in the wake of the shooting in wisconsin. Biden is making his point in interviews as the top democrat in Congress Says she thinks the nominee should refuse to debate President Trump. Peter doocy is in delaware tonight. Joe biden is accusing President Trump of trying to turn riots into votes. You think hes rooting for violence, that he wants violence because absolutely. In a pair of live interviews, trump is trying to stir tensions to look tough in november. Hes rooting for more violence, not less. What is he doing . He keeps pouring gasoline on the fire. The democratic nominee was the talk of the rnc on night 3. You wouldnt be safe in joe bidens america. As protests continue in wisconsin, the former Vice President is trying to correct the current one. All the video being played is being played in Donald Trumps america. And for the second day in a row, hes condemning violent rioters. Flies in the face of the legitimate protests. Biden confirms he will debate trump three times this fall. Im going to being a fact checker on the floor while im debating him. Even though nancy pelosi told him not to. I dont think that there should be any debates. Viewers were distracted today. Somebody let one of bidens dogs out. An rnc spokesman responded to his message with this, telling that joe biden designed to zoom into an msnbc interview today. And is seeding President Trumps speech tonight and Kamala Harris. Harris appeared this afternoon in d. C. We must always defend peaceful protests and peaceful protesters. We should not confuses them with those looting and committing acts of violence. Biden hasnt campaigned at all this week but may soon visit the family of jacob blake in wisconsin. I would consider that. What i dont want to do is i dont want to become part of the problem. I want to make sure that i was its able to be done safely. Bidens last planned trip to wisconsin was called off. It was going to be too dangerous to deliver a Convention Speech there because of covid19related concerns. But the public calculation may now be changing since that last time he was supposed to be there seven days ago. Bret . Peter doocy live in delaware. Thanks. Tensions are still high, but the level of violence seems to be waning in wisconsin following the weekend shotting of a black man by police and automatic of the fallout after that. Jonathan hunt is inkenosha for us tonight. Good evening, jonathan. Good evening, bret. As the fallout from the Police Shooting of jacob blake continues, Vice President mike pence has been disinvented from giving the commencement speech this weekend a wisconsin lutheran. The college citing escalating event theres kenosha. On the ground, there was a marked deescalation on the fourth night of protests. Residents and Business Owners are picking up the pieces in kenosha as the National Guard and federal Law Enforcement agents stand by out of sight after being sent to wisconsin by President Trump following his declaration that he wont allow the kind of destruction that has left this city so scarred. None of the forces were needed wednesday night. Protesters gathered and marched by this time peacefully as they a and the entire city seemed to take stock of the tragic events when an armed vigilante clashed with protesters. This video obtained exclusively by fox news and shot from a drone shows the first of the shootings in which the gunman after some sort of confrontation shoots a protester in the head. Other video shows him being chased and tackled by protesters before he fires several more times. Court documents identify the alleged shooter as 17yearold Kyle Rittenhouse. The voice of the people is not falling on deaf ears. Were hearing what is being said. The major spoke to his commitment involving myself to usher in change where possible. The Wisconsin Department of justice identified the officer that shot jacob blake as rusten sheskey, a cross the country, protests continue in california. Several people were arrested after the county courthouse and some local businesses were vandalized. In minneapolis, there was widespread looting after rumors police shot a man. Video shows the armed man killed himself. And returning here to kenosha, we learned tonight that a number of high powered attorneys have joined forces offering to defend 17yearold Kyle Rittenhouse which is accused of shooting and killing the two protesters tuesday night. One of the attorneys claiming via twitter that the Video Evidence clearly shows justified acts of selfdefense. Bret . Jonathan, thank you. One of last nights guests at the Republican Convention was keith kellogg. The National Security adviser to Vice President pence. He joins us tonight from the north lawn. General, thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. I want to touch on your speech. You essentially said that this president made the right choices when faced with difficult decisions. Many people that question that. You said youve been in the room each time. Thats correct. Yeah, bret. This is an election on contra s contrasts. The contrast is joe biden and President Trump is significant. Lets go down a couple of them right now. Joe biden and the Obama Administration let isis grow, grow to the size geographically the size of great britain. They had abu albaghdadi run it. They allowed syria to use chemical weapons. Nerve gas against its citizens after they said very clearly that that was a red line that would not let the syrians cross as they went forward. You have a secretary of defense from the Obama Administration, secretary gates, say that in public and in his book that joe biden has been nearly wrong on every major National Security decision in the last 40 years. I think thats true. When you look at what we have done, we reacted when as sad used nerve gas against its citizens. We reacted. This president eliminated the isis caliphate. Killed albaghdadi in an operation called operation kayla named after an American Woman that he had killed, kayla mueller. He let the military grow significantly Going Forward. Heres the one that is not really mentioned. This one is pretty important. When one of the most critical decisions made in the Obama Administration was to go after the architect of 911, osama bin laden, after they found him, the individual in the room that recommended that operation not take place was joe biden. Our president has gone after baghdadi, went after soleimani, got him. The same individual from iran that had been a mastermind on killing hundreds of American Service men in iraq. So the contrasts are quite clear. Very, very proud of our record compared to his. You said in the speech, i know leadership, Decision Making and ive seen the response to that. You also said that i have been in the room where it happened. Clear veiled reference to john boltons book named where it happened. He told me this. The point is not what he believes when he signs the particular legislation or what he says when hes dealing with the chinese. Its that he doesnt particularly believe any of it longer than it takes to get past the day that hes dealing with it. Youve heard those interviews and in the book. Is he lying about that . Yeah, he is. Bret, his comments are absurd. I have been in the room a lot longer than he has. I have been with the president ever since he came in to the white house. I have been with him through mike flynn, the National Security adviser, h. R. Mcmaster. Ive been through john bolton and robert obrien, who is the best National Security adviser this president has had. John bolton i believe is actually an architect of failure. He had his own agenda. He pushed his own agenda. When it didnt work, he tried to basically stifle the discussion Going Forward or lie to the president of the united states. I was in there when it happened. I saw him when he fabricated information and nearly caused us to commence military operations in iran because of a loss of a drone that we knew he had Incorrect Information and he passed that Incorrect Information to the president. I saw him on several occasions do that. I saw john bolton single handedly destroy afghan negotiations a year against at bedminster after we thought we had the afghan negotiations on track. He happened to just ruin them. I was there in the room when it happened. So john bolton is a liar . Yeah, he is. Hes thinking about john bolton before he thinks about anybody else. Lieutenant im sorry . I was going to wrap you up here. I have to run. Its another night to wrap up the Republican National convention. Your speech we took last night and thanks for your service and well see what tonight brings. Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. Athletes boycott over the latest Police Shooting involving an African American man. Where do things go from here . Well take a look at the sports angle next.

Players being allowed to wear social messaging on their back urging change. The demand for accountability continues. Its imperative for the Wisconsin Legislature to reconvene and take meaningful measures for Police Account ability, brutality and criminal justice reform. Player as peer to have the support of the league, some fans and even president ial candidate joe biden. President trump called out the athletes. Theyre like a political organization. Thats not a good thing. I dont think its good for sports or for the country. And the cancellations continue. Some baseball, hockey and Womens Basketball games as well as nfl practices and scrimmages were called off today. For the nba, in games will be played tonight.

It included expanded unemployment benefits, payroll protects renews. The House Speaker said he wont budge until the administration comes up to them. The recovery in may and june came sooner and was stronger than expected. Theres still a healthy economy here except for this area that has been directly affected by covid. So if we can keep the disease under control, the rest of the economy can recover fairly quickly. That obviously the fed chairman, Jerome Powell talking about the economy there. Nancy pelosi said after the call shes still waiting for a 2. 2 trillion number. Real people are suffering. More than a Million People filed claims for unemployment last week that means more than a third of all working americans asked the government for him in the 23 weeks since the coronavirus impacted the economy. You heard there Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell side they should react. In eight years, powell announced the Federal Reserve is making major changes to Monetary PolicyGoing Forward. The biggest change is that the federal reself would allow inflation to run hot. The price of what we buy could be more expensive for a period of time. The dallas Federal Reserve president said that that is not necessarily the case. Its price stability is what the average american will see. Listen. It just says that well allow for a moderate overshoot of the 2 and when i say moderate, i mean moderate in the spirit of trying to get more people in to the work force. He voted for the change. Back to you, bret. Bret all right. Thanks, edward. Marylands governor says all Public Schools systems in his state are safe to reopen. Republican larry hogan said the system have met a new set of regulations. Hogan said some School Districts dont plan to reopen is unacceptable. Hes administration plans to offer financial incentives to reopen. In an email, the parents of one district said that they will review the new guidance as soon as details are provided.

Fauci claims he doesnt recall viewing any changes. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo firing back at the move today. Theres no justification for this cdc guidance. The president said if we test less, we will have fewer cases. So i believe its political and were not following it in the state of new york. Here in new york, the state hit its 20th day of positive test rates under 20 . States around the country struggle to lower their infection rates. Bret . Thanks, alex.

If you cant afford your medicine, abbvie may be able to help. Bret breaking tonight, we got updated numbers. We know at least six people are dead following landfall of hurricane laura along the gulf coast. The storm now moving inland and has weakened considerably. Leland vittert is in lake charles. Good evening, leland. Bret, good evening. If youre the owner of this gas and convenience store, it was pretty awful. These pictures repeat themselves up and down every street of lake charles. What made laura so unusual is the amount of wind damage. 30 miles inland, we saw gusts of 140 miles an hour for hours. So many rode out the storm without a roof. It reminds me of when i was living in new orleans and there was it was like filming the planet of the apes. How one of the scenes the apes took and destroyed the street block. You know . I come out here, this is a reminder of that scene in the movie. There are dozens of businesses that are not open. But open for looters. Thats a huge concern after a hurricane. At this cvs among other places with controlled substances, you have the louisiana National Guard standing guard. Looks like a little bomb went off. Its worst than hurricane rita. Its almost like a tornado went through here, but it was a tornado that covered a whole city. Yeah. My public works director was one of the first i visited with this morning. His words verbatim to me was, it looks like a tornado hit every street in lake charles. Pretty sobering. It is. The Chemical Plant fire burning about ten miles from here is adding to the misery forcing people to stay inside and closing i10, which is key for relief efforts. Many parts dont have water or electricity. During rita, bret, it took them three weeks to get the power turned back on. Bret Leland Vittert live.

When you look at a portland and see how weak the democrats are, the governor, the mayor, how pathetic. They let them riot every night. This is the way our whole country would be. Hes rooting for more violence, not less. Its clear about that. What is he doing . Pouring gasoline on the fire. This is Donald Trumps america. Bret thats the line that we heard from the democrats, including the former Vice President. The media is starting to cover the violence. The new york times, how chaos in kenosha is swaying voters. Denims fear swing state damage from unrest. Theres one marquette wisconsin poll. The views on mass protests in the wake of George Floyds death. In june, approval was 60 . You can see there. Now, august 49, approval 48, 48. Per happens swaying in one state, its a bigger issue than media and democrats thought it was. Lets bring in our panel. Brit hume. Molly hemingway, charles lane, a opinion writer. Britt, im seeing the sea change and how its talked about and covered. Note that that poll that Marquette University poll was taken obviously through the night before this kenosha issue happened. And kenosha is worth watching. Its a swing county. Something appears to be happening. Bret, you and i talked about this. We were not seeing any signs of a backlash and this urban violence and rioting. I think now were beginning to see it. To whatever extent it leaks into the president ial race is unclear. But when you see joe biden after not speaking about it at all last week, nobody did mention it at all, starting to talk about it now, trying to blame it on the president , you know something is happening out there. Looks to be real and it remains to be seen how far it will go. Bret talking about wisconsin polls. The real clear politics average of polls a week ago had biden up 8. 5. Now in wisconsin, the average of polls has biden up 3. 5. Byron, the issue is a focus for the president tonight. Yes. The president thinks that after a long bad period, things are beginning to move his way a little bit. Certainly hes going to criticize joe biden a lot for everything hes done the last 50 years. He is going to hit on this violence stuff. On the coronavirus and the economy, hes basically going to say look, we were doing great. We got hit by this terrible thing. You know what happened. Now were coming back fast. It wont happen under joe biden. Bret take a listen to joe biden and Kellyanne Conway, chuck and ill get you on the other side. I had a quote here from Kellyanne Conway. She said the more chaos and anarchy and vandalism and violence reigns, its better for us, very clear choice it presents for us. A quote from a restaurant tour in wisconsin saying are you protesters trying to get donald trump elected . He snows. Mayor pete knows full stop that the more chaos and anarchy and violence reigns, the better it is for the clear choice on who is best on public safety. Bret so the quote biden read wasnt what Kellyanne Conway said. What about the prospect of Donald Trumps america and the campaign wants to see more violence, the charge made today . Well, i sure home that they dont want to see more violence. But i think Kellyanne Conway was intimating and probably threatening in the perception that democratic based cities promote violence. Theyve been saying it for months. This is going require a lot of political skill by joe biden to navigate. He has to be emphatic. Bret your audio is cutting out. Molly, let me go to you about this biden charge. Its not surprising that joe biden would be lying about what Kellyanne Conway actually said because hes been lying about this as part of a centerpiece of his campaign where he had been falsely accusing donald trump of saying something that he didnt say about the charlottesville riots. Hes been lying and saying that he praised White Supremacists when he denounced them. What is interesting about this is the Republican Convention is fighting back hard against this charge. Its very common for racebaiting to be something that is done in the at the end of an elections. Republicans usually cowher. What youve seen is night after night of prominent black speakers talking about some of those lies that have been told and responding to them. Also making the case for voting for trump based on actual policy substance, not just platitudes. Saying he is the guy that did criminal justice reform, hes the guy getting funding for hbcus. He received historic gains in job growth and the republicans are excited to talk about it and neutralizing what biden thought would be a typical republican race where you accuse people of racism and the republicans dont fight back. This time theyre fighting back and theyre working hard for that black vote. Its been unlike he anything weve seen in the Republican Convention in decades. Bret clearly theyre seeing numbers that have shown good things for them. Heres, bret, the evolution that we talked about the coverage of this. The issue of violence in different cities from the media. Take a listen. I want to be here and how i characterize this. This is a mostly a protest. It is not its not generally speaking unruly. Fires have been started. There are real problems in portland. It is made up on fox news like its this raging fire out of control. That is a gross exaggeration. It is. We cannot have the message be that we are responding in violence. The violence has to stop. Chris as you know and i know, its showing up in the polling. Its showing up in focus groups. Its the only thing its the only thing right now that is sticking. Bret and then we had this week the coverage from kenosha, fiery mostly peaceful protests after Police Shooting on cnn, britt. So clearly is an evolution and you heard it in don lemons explanation there. Yeah, there is. Seems pretty evident from what he said, which is one of those things that you inadvertently Say Something out loud that you wish you said in a different setting, that, you know, theyre seeing in the polling so now we have to quell the violence or urge people to stop it. Thats where we are. Of course, it feeds to what we talked about earlier, this is beginning to sink in with people. You look at this stuff, bret. A guy standing in front of a big fire in the middle of an urban center and saying this is mostly peaceful doesnt compute. Almost cant make this stuff up. I think people see this. Its got to be alarming. Would be to anybody. Certainly is me, an ordinary american citizen. Its beginning to take hold around the country. Democrats can only hope it dies down or theyre able to do something to quell it. Chuck, we got you back. Sorry to interrupt. Your audio was cutting out. You can jump in. Two quick things. First, lets not forget what the press says the violence is for the black lives Matters Movement itself. Getting lost in this is the underlying policing that movement is trying to address. Secondly, you know, the president has it within his power, hes the leader of this country to call for calm. To call for unity. To call for people to come together and he has the whole world watching and listening to him tonight. I say its amazing nobody expects that he would do that. Maybe well be wrong. But its extraordinary. He has that opportunity tonight. Bret i think hes called for calm. To your point, that shooting is another example. I mean, we dont have the final investigation. But seven times being shot in the back, molly, shocks the soul when you look at the video and when you hear that. Its true that people need to get the facts on all of these cases. Its happened time and time again that people with limited information, last night minneapolis was looted because people falsely believed that someone was killed by police when he committed suicide. I dont think the full facts were told about kenosha where a guy was resisting arrest. They were calling because a woman said he was in her house and he was not supposed to be, he was not responding to Police Orders and this is something where the media have a responsibility not to fan the flames, but to accurately report things if they care about interactions with police. Were not getting that and spiralling out of control where you have athletes trying to sabotage their own seasons becaused on false information. Byron, last word. I think for the president , this is a really simple case to make. In the past when theres been violence and disorder, the government has usually been on the side of order. In these cases, the government is all democrats in portland, seattle, chicago, minneapolis, new york, have been on the side of disorder. President trump stands on the other side for public safety. Bret thank, thanks very much. The final night tonight when we come back in sickness and in health. Bret finally tonight. Tying the knot. Soon after munoz was to the hospital. Placed on life support.

Martha love always wins in the end. Bret see you at 10 00. Martha see you soon, bret. Martha we are a couple hours away from President Trump taking the stage to again accept the nomination of his party and it is his party now after nearly four years in office. He will make the case that america should reelect him to finish the work that he started, granting him four more years. It has also been very much his convention from start to finish. Tonight, we expect that the president will come out swinging, saying that he and mike pence have spent the last four years repairing the damage of the obamabiden white house. He will push for law and order
