in full site, people are yelling this guy just shot someone. that person does not get thrown to the ground or does not get beaten up or get shot or does not end up losing his life and he's not in the hospital. really? you are saying -- no one wants the guy to get shot. >> do you think it is coincidence? what did you expect? for people to be out in the streets like this, are you surprise that this young man had to take matter into his own hands? that's law and order. as reflected by the mouthpiece for the party of trump. that's the message to america. they think this is okay. >> only law and order looks like you. if that's what you mean by law and order, looks like you. what they are saying is the people who had the right to be out on the street at that hour looks like them. that's what their actions are showing. they must be a good person on our side because they look like us. that's what they are saying. because if the person did not look like you, what does your mind go? where do your actions go? >> right. >> this person is a threat. they think that person is a threat, they person can't be a threat, why? it is a young white guy. that's the truth. when we look at and when we talk about black men are deemed to be more threaten, young men, children, they think they are older than they are, black boys especially. they are taller. we have seen in cases where black children were shot and black boys. i thought he was older. he looked older and he was taller. why is that? >> this is what the election is about. >> when we say covid in kenosha, it is not because it is illiterate. kenosha is a metaphor for what's happening with systematic racism and the application of justice in society. mike pence made a stance tonight and he's getting a lot of kudos in articulate speech. the words that come sliding out of your mouth with such grace ma matters. it is not a style contest, it is a substance contest. for him to say our police had implicit bias, what was that? they may well whine up winning this election and we have to leave the country. this is happening under their watch now. i am telling you this is what the election is about. we have to take matters into our own hands. that's what was going to happen. nobody is keeping the streets safe. so he had to do it. listen to mike pence tonight. >> joe biden says that america is systemically racism and that law enforcement in america as "an implicit bias against minorit minority." when asked if he supports c cutting funds for law enforcement, he repliedreplied,. the hard truth is you won't be safe in joe biden's america. under president trump we'll always stand with those who stand on the thin, blue line and we are not going to defund the police, not now and not ever. >> wait a minute, joe biden is the president right now? this is trump's america. what is he talking about of this d d disutopia speech. joe biden is not in power. they criticize him on one hand because he's not getting out there or in the basement or whatever or he's too far left or too far right when it comes to police, make up your mind, which is it? he did address what you and i talked about that's happening on his watch. this is also into america because he's the vice president of the united states. what's the difference between those malicious guys out there? ku what's the difference? it is the same mentality. my america, i have authority even though i am not a sworn law enforcement officer. the thing is what is the difference? what's the difference? you should not be out there, it is not your business. why are you doing it? why are you saying your blue lives matter or trump supporter. why are you out there? >> the question is why did those people find comfort in this administration. oh, you can't call the president that. i am not calling the president anything, you tell me why do people favor white nationalism favors this president. i am telling you they don't want don lemon to be president. why? that's something for trump to explain for america. for mike pence, you can look a part and sound the part, effective political tool. but on your watch and you are thanking god for the privilege to accept the nomination to serve again. you better speak about what's happening on your watch, brother, especially if you want to yoursecall yourself a man of. you tell me how to swear your faith to look past implicit raci racism. i am talking about the manner of apprehension. you got a guy in the hospital who walked around the car after the cops could not keep him on the ground and they shoot him in the back seven times. >> that's what i am saying, you believe, did you believe a guy carrying a weapon? did you believe he had a weapon? >> you believed it. we are not saying you should have shot him. god forbid but have one standard that has fairness on all levels. you are the vice president of the united states. >> it is not just kenosha. we saw minneapolis and once people dig into the video and the investigations, the results of the investigation are made public, you see a number of these incidents. there are as you say outside that are people coming in, a number of them malicious people, white guys who come in and spark the situation. some people believe if this is true. i am always suspicious of the guys because they use it to break windows or as a shield. if you look in the crowd and you can see those guys with skateboards, just be leery of those guys. many times they are up to no good. i am a skateboard but i am not going out there for a riot. you can use it to protect yourself and if you need it, you can use it as a weapon. >> this guy is apprehended and their charges and the system is working. >> what i am saying is i want people to be clear of what i am saying. do not say these are scary black people out there. look at the diversity in that crowd. this should not be portrayed that way and if you portray it in that way and you believe it, shame on you. look at the person arrested for what happened. >> right. a riot are symptomatic of the prompt. people who commit crimes and surrender the high grounds, lawless. we always say because that's the truth and we experienced it in person and it is scary to be in the middle of it. >> this is a disaster that will continue until we figure it out. >> what we saw today with those videos, that's the problem. >> we have a natural disaster that's happening right now, chris. >> we got the storms going. things are starting to heat up. it is going to happen on our watch. i will start with our cnn's mark savage live in louisiana. i see you got the helmet on and your pants are whipping around, what's the situation now, my friend. >> reporter: 100 miles per hour gusts. it is not far from us. it is already pretty damage that's happening on the property. th stuff are starting to fly in the air. less sustained winds, gusts can be higher than that. we are actually sheltered. what you are seeing with me or anything moving in the backdrop, it is protected area. if you are out in the front of it, it would be hard for you to stand up. the next thing we are going to worry about is the storm surge. storm surge could go as far as 40 miles per hour. part of the reason is the topography around here, charles is flat and there is hardly a tree. storm surge coming ashore and preventing it. that's why lake charles appearing in much of the downtown area and many surrounding the community are in endated and 12 feet or water or 20 feet of water is the absolute height of that storage surge. when the water is there, it whipped up by the wind. we can't drag you out of the house here. others said they were not going to leave because they fear coronavirus and the shelter more than they fear of the storm. the storm is going to be much more dangerous if you are trying to ride it out something like this in royour home. you would be much safer in shelters. >> mark, thank you very much. >> let's get to derek van damme, walk us through what's happening on the ground right now. >> reporter: yeah, conditions in beaumont, texas, are deteriorating quickly. we have started to experience the per sis tent gusts. and people here are scared. that's saying something because residents of louisiana and texas have been through a lot. they know what to expect and how much devastation these storms can break. the i-10 corridor is opened behind me but 10-mile to the east, it shuts down. that's a major evacuation orders all t all the way to lafayette. that ship assa sailed. we have 10,000 people without power in texas. 25,000 customers in the state of louisiana and we know that number is going to skyrocketed because of the extreme winds and warming that are in place. something in my career that i have never experienced before from the national weather service. we have to treat it as a prolong tornado. we'll take you to the storm hour by hour as it continues to ramp up. we know the eye wall is approaching the coastline and we'll get to beaumont, texas, of anticipated winds of 100 miles per hour. a grown man of 150 pounds myself, you can't stand up in those winds. why do we send our team in the middle of the storms. my answer is because if you are asked to evacuate, it is my job to make sure you are evacuated and why did you put out efforts. these are potential missiles coming flying at you when winds are consistent at 70 mile per hour. >> it is only going to get worse from here. authorities told us sustained winds over 35 or 40 miles per hour. that means they have removed the ability of search and rescue. we could be talking about the next 12 or 15 hours without having fires or police services here in louisiana. the winds are too strong. also spoke to a police officer earlier this morning, she told me previous hurricane knocked out powers in some of the rural parts of this area for over 30 days. we should anticipate that. this is one of the strongest storms to reach the coast of louisiana. any kinds of tales or signs of what to come, we need to be prepraypr prepared. >> chris. >> thank you, be safe, that comes first and we'll get the information one way or another. the picture tells the story. >> i keep on looking at and texting about that is and my friend who died from covid. if you listen to the convention tonight and larry kudlow. >> we are speaking to a crowd tonight with no masks and nobody had to be tested. i don't know how they believe that's the right message. we are watching everything tonight and reporting on everything. we are going to talk to a storm chaser who's flying over this monsoon storm and get that back for you right after this. you felt safe and, if you were safe, you could be joyful. everybody has a coogan's. and almost

>> oh, it's extremely powerful. when you have the best player in the nba, one of the most famous athletes in the world, willing to leverage his own talent for something of this magnitude. all that does is give permission to other guys to do the same. i think we have to understand why they're at this point. i heard you had bob costas on in the last segment. great broadcaster, obviously. hall of famer. but i couldn't disagree with him more. see, the thing is, the players tried it the easy way. they tried to sweet talk america into caring about black bodies. so they wore t-shirts. they talked about voter suppression. they've steered all the interviews toward more meaningful conversations. they have a court that says black lives matter. all of that happened. and yet, we still get jacob blake. they're tired. they're exhausted. and they said, you know what, i tell you what, america. since you can't respect black bodies in the street, you don't deserve to watch ours play this game. you don't deserve to have us entertain you because that's how upset that they are. and if you think about any time there was any meaningful change in this country, don, it has always come through boycotts, through strikes. it has never been a situation where we can just calmly talk people into doing the right thing. that doesn't work. history has proven this many, many times. so, we keep trying to have situations where people do this easily. and where, sometimes, you just have to say this is enough. and i think that's what they did. >> i got to run but i just want to put this up on the screen so, jamelle, you can look at it and our viewers. this is from former president barack obama weighing in on twitter. and he writes i commend the players on the bucks for standing up for what they believe in. coaches like doc rivers and the nba and the wnba for setting an example. it's going to take all of our institutions to stand up for our values. all i have to say is, this is where we are right now, the former president doesn't weigh in on much. you got lebron james speaking out. and you have players who are feeling empowered. boy. what a difference. fasten your seatbelts. let's see what happens next. thank you, jamele. you be safe. >> you, too, don. >> third night of the republican convention wrapping up as an extremely dangerous hurricane barrelling, right now, towards the gulf coast. and then, there's racial unrest that is rocking kenosha. and then, we just talked about what's happening in sports. a lot going on. our special coverage. more of it, next. now, simparica trio simplifies protection. ticks and fleas?
