1000. The airlines are taking it on the chin, first signs where so many in the industry seem to be tell of telegraphing problems, unless they get a new batch of a. The aid in march, april, may, is essentially running out. There is talk after 85 billiondollar relief package. No one agrees what it should be, when it shut be doled out. That is hitting airline stocks. Were watching that very closely. Were watching day two of the Republican Convention right now. Hillary vaughn following all of those developments for us. Hillary . Reporter neil, day one of the Republican National convention was really about President Trump and the Republican Party pitching themselves as the law and order party. What is interesting is when joe biden first got elected to the senate, he campaigned on exactly that, law and order. Every time Richard Nixon when i was running in 1972 would say law and order, the democratic mantra the response was, law and order with justice. Whatever that meant. I would say lock the s. O. B. S up. Reporter biden back then sound ad hot like Republican Party today, cities like portland whose streets are held hostage from protesters and rioters from 90 days violence. Democrats wont let you go to how much but let you protest. Democrats wont let you go to work but let you riot. Democrats wont let you go to school but let you loot. Reporter patty and Mark Mccloskey spoke at the convention. The st. Louis couple went viral when protesters broke into their community. But the Biden Campaign reacting today, to last nights convention saying that the violence and unrest that is happening right now is happening in President Trumps america, not joe biden es america. He never resorted to the kinds of tactics that donald trump is using like sending federal Law Enforcement into cities to inflame tensions. Reporter neil, even though law and order and violence on the streets did not come up on the dnc, the Biden Campaign is trying distance themselves from the Defund Police campaign that you hear from a lot of surrogates. Neil you swill hear today from melania trump. Can you set the stage for that . Reporter that speech will happen at the white house behind my shoulder. In the audience are going to be several of her friends a lot of women there. Of the point that she is going to make, is really one of unity, coming from her at the white house and, what is interesting, neil. She has had a platform that has pushed back against a lot of bullying and harsh rhetoric coming on both sides. So she certainly will try to portray a message as the unifier and a positive light and a positive voice from the party. Neil . Neil i also see that secretary of state mike pompeo is expected to speak. Now in his role of secretary of state, a lot of people have been saying could that be violating the hatch act . He argues, im speaking as just an average american, right . It is controversial moment, right . Could you lay the groundwork for that . Reporter it is and what is interesting there has been criticism because there are events happening at the white house. Were going to hear from secretary pompeo that the white house and taxpayers would be picking up the tab for this, that would violate the hatch act. We heard from Stephanie Grisham tried to allay concerns that anyone other than the Republican Party, other than the campaign would be picking up the tab for the events this week but you are going to see certainly from democrats a look at the numbers after this is all over to insure that none of this, no bill was ever sent other paid for by taxpayers or by the white house. Neil . Neil hillary, thank you very much. Hillary vaughn. We had another night of violence and uprising in the kenosha area, it spread to madison, wisconsin. All of this follows the shooting of jacob blake. It is indicated right now he will survive that, but paralyzed from the waist down. The unrest continues in the greater wisconsin area here. In fact throughout the state, there have been a number of protests and still more planned. Jonathan hunt with the latest from kenosha. Jonathan. Reporter neil, we have now a second night here in kenosha which was a passionate protest turned into out and out rioting. Hundreds gathered here at the county courthouse to begin with last night and then, after an 8 00 p. M. Curfew was attempted to be imposed by police, they moved on, about a mile away burned down several local businesses there was also sporadic looting taking place. Earlier as police tried to impose the 8 00 p. M. Curfew, the protesters lined on, opposite of them, threw fireworks at the police lines. The Police Responded with volleys of tear gas. All of this of course a result of sundays shooting of 29yearold jacob blake. In the video weve all seen several times now, the, several officers appeared to follow blake after an altercation. He leans back into his car. One of the officers grabs him about it shirt. Then we hear on that video seven shots fired. Now jacob blakes father, has told a chicago newspaper today, while his son is in stable but serious condition in a local hospital he is in fact paralyzed from the waist down. We do not have confirmation of that from the hospital or local authorities here but that is the word from jacob blakes father. The mayor of kenosha, yesterday, had a message for the blake family. Listen here. We are going to make sure that justices done for everyone. That people will have the right to make sure that the investigation is taken care of and is done correctly. Reporter now one thing we wont have in this investigation apparently, neil, is body camera footage. That is often so crucial in these kind of investigations but as we understand it, the Kenosha Police department budgeted for body cameras back in 2017 but never actually bought them. So as a result, not one of the officers involved in the situation in the incident with jacob blake was wearing a body camera. So the police chief, when he eventually comes out to talk to us give us the details is going to be very reliant on the firsthand accounts of those officers and of witnesses who were there at the time. But without body camera footage, there are a lot of gaps remaining in the story, how it all unfolded, neil. Neil jonathan hunt, thank you very much. Jonathan hunt in kenosha. Here with us vernon jordan, vernon jones i should say, he electrified at the 2020 Republican Convention. It was his comments more specifically on this mad rush to Defund Police departments that got the most vocal response. Take a look. Police officers are our fellow citizens. They live in our country. They have families too. They live in our communities. Unfortunately democrats have turned their backs on our brave Police Officers. They call it defunding. It is a danger to our cities, our neighborhoods, and our children. Isnt it ironic that democrat politicians have personal security to protect them. Neil that electrified that crowd. Vernon jones with us right now. Vernon, good to have you. Democrats have seized on this shooting of jacob blake as proof that the police can overdo it, that is working to their advantage, to keep that front and center, not worry so much about police and whether theyre offended. What do you say . Well, neil, they made this is a political issue because they dont have a record to run against or run on, going against donald trump who has a solid record of accomplishments. Many of them dont know a lot about Law Enforcement. I was fortunate enough to command a very large Police Department in georgia when i was county executive. Ive been on both sides of it. Ive been on sides where there were Police Officers involved in shootings that resulted in deaths. Ive also been on the side where individuals have shot and killed my Police Officers including two in one night. So in my heart and soul goes out to everybody, there are no winners. There should be protocol, when Police Officers are involved in shooting, i immediately had someone from the medical examiners office. The police chief would be there. The Georgia Bureau of investigation would be there and someone from the District Attorneys office. A fair investigation would be done. You had different eyes on this. When it is all done, it is wrapped up and given to the District Attorney to make that decision whether or not they want to indict. But i want tell you this, when that happens, you do want to take the officers or officer, put them on administrative leave. They are earn titled to due process. Let the facts come out. Too many times the media gets in it, involves getting peoples emotions into it. And so we need to take a deep breath, let the facts come out. Justice will be served. No one support as bad Police Officer but no one supports someone who can feel like they can just attack a Police Officer because his or her life is in danger as well. So the democrats, yeah, they would like to see more Police Officers shot. That is why lives dont matter to them. Politics matter to them. I hope, neil, in this situation, that those families and im glad that the mayor reached out to the family. You want to communicate with them. You dont want to hide anything. You dont want to hamper the investigation but you want to make sure the process is fair, that justice gets done. Neil i dont want to get too knee deep in this particular case, vernon. Of the video that you did see of the shooting of jacob blake, again we dont have a bodycam footage. There was none available, but what did you make of it . Well, if you look at what was shown as the individual is getting into the car and then the shot, shooting took place, it doesnt look good obviously. And i dont care who looks at it, they can say it doesnt look well. What happened . What was the breakdown . However, i have learned to look both ways before i cross. So lets wait until the all the evidence get out. I am not investigating this. I am not prosecuting this case or even thinking about prosecuting this place and neither is the public but i know the public sees what it sees and they have questions and thats a good thing. Those questions should be answered. So lets allow the process to take place, not politicize this. Reach out to the family members on both sides, because, Police Officers have families too, and they want their loved one to come home as well. They know the dangers that they face. Neil you know, you mentioned that because, a lot of eyebrows are raised with the wisconsin governor, tony evers reaction to this, he already made up his mind what happened based on that video, saying pretty much in support of mr. Blake, that he was shot in the back multiple times in broad daylight. In other words no, ifs, ands or buts about this. When a states governor, weighs in, says Something Like that, demonstrations, riots, are all but inevitable, arent they . Yeah. But let me tell you, i think the governor should call for calm and peace. I think the governor should call the local Police Department, the police chief, the District Attorneys office say, hey, listen any resources we can provide you all to help you, to do a thorough investigation and augment what youre doing, were here to help. But people want answers. They deserve answers. And lets make sure that this process go through in a swift but effective and fair manner. And so, it is okay, but dont make it political. That is what im afraid of. Ill tell you another thing, neil. Lets get used to this. There will be other officerinvolved shootings. It is almost as if were surprised there is another shooting. But there are people being killed every day. Where is the outrage when oneyearold, 8yearold, teenagers and children shot almost every weekend in chicago . And so it is almost only time you hear about a situation happening is when it involves a Police Officer and more specifically when it involves a white Police Officer. Now, a bad Police Officer is a bad Police Officer but that is not the majority. And let me say this too, the black community they support the Police Department. They want their neighborhoods to be safe. They want protection. They just want fairness and they want the officers to have integrity and treat them like theyre supposed to be treated. But with that being said, when a Police Officer asks you to do something you should obey the law. We should also emphasize that right now, that can stop a lot of thee situations from happening. When you ask that person, when the Law Enforcement ask you to do something, do it. At that scene, if you have a problem, then go to internal affairs. Lets get it investigated. That is not a good situation to be in, when officer tells you to obey them and they dont. Neil all right. Vernon jones, thank you very much for taking the time. Trying to provide calm in the middle of yet another racial storm. Thank you very, very much. Be well. In the meantime we are focusing on other developments like a dow down almost 200 points. We already know some of the prescriptions that joe biden has to make things right if he got elected president is raise taxes but he is not alone. A number about states are looking to make up for the shortfall in revenues theyre seeing. Largely because of the virus, by hiking taxes in new jersey, largely on the rich, and a lot. After this.

Neil all right ahead of a hurricane exxon not taking any chances going ahead and shutting down the beaumont, texas, refinery, this as laura churning in the gulf is expected to make landfall in texas. Could be louisiana as well in as little as 24 hours. Again as i say it could come up to a category 3 hurricane. Lets get the latest from Charles Westin ho joins us from baton rouge. Hey, charles. Reporter neil, hurricane laura is expected to make landfall near the louisiana border. Southern louisiana is taking all necessary preparations ahead of what is expected to be a strong hurricane. Governor John Bell Edwards says laura could be the strongest storm to hit here since 2005. This has the potential to be strongest hurricane to hit since hurricane rita and it happens to be taking at least, for now, a very similar track to hurricane rita. So we should all be very, very careful. Reporter people are taking the governors warning seriously. Folks are boarding up windows, laying sandbags, making sure they have essential items they need before laura arrives. Forecasters say the storm will bring several inches of rain and Hurricane Force winds. There are more than two dozen jack wages orders in evacuation orders in floodprone areas. The region could see lifethreatening storm surges anywhere between two and 11 feet. Well laura comes in, at a cat2 and were on a eastern side of it, it hits west of it, like theyre talking about doing at lake charles, you know, were going to be on the wetside. Not only the wet side but on the tidal surge side. Reporter laura has left its mark on the caribbean killing at least a dozen people including a young girl in haiti. The storm causing landslides and floods. And back here laura could bring winds up to 110 miles an hour when it hits in the next day or two. Neil . Neil holy cow.
