county. pasco county sheriff department hem helping five people after the boat capsized. one asked how the sheriff was doing and he replied "better than you." great stuff. >> sandra: good stuff there. night two of the r.n.c. tonight. we'll be here tomorrow to cover it. >> trace: we will. looking forward to it. >> sandra: "outnumbered" starts right now. >> harris: fox news alert. chaos in the streets of kenosha, wisconsin, for a second night. >> melissa: the police fighting with protesters who defied a curfew. vandals setting fire to several buildings across the city and damaging property. all of this after viral video showed kenosha police shooting a black man sunday and after county officials set an 8:00 p.m. curfew. wisconsin's ever called out mormoreial -- wisconsin's governor call out the national guard troop.

the police responding to a domestic disturbance call shot 29-year-old jacob blake several times from behind as he tried to get in the car. he is in the hospital reportedly in serious condition. the shooting also sparking protests in other major cities including new york, chicago, minneapolis. chief correspondent jonathan hunt is live in kenosha with more. jonathan? >> melissa, a second night that began as a protest turning in to a riot here in kenosha. as many in the crowd of several hundred that initially gathered here at the county courthouse moved on and set fire to local businesses burning several of them to the ground. they were defying an 8:00 p.m. curfew imposed by the kenosha police department. the protesters simply would not obey that curfew. they started throwing

fireworks at the police lines. the police then responded with volleys of tear gas. all of this, of course, resulting from sunday's shooting of 29-year-old jacob blake. on the video that we have seen here, he appears to be followed by several police officers as he walks around and then leans back in to his vehicle. one of the officers grabbed him by the shirt. then we hear on the video seven shots fired. jacob blake's father has told a chicago newspaper this morning that his son is indeed in serious but stable condition in the hospital. but is according to the elder mr. blake paralyzed from the waist down. we are waiting for confirmation from that. we expect a press conference here later today with the family attorney and members of jacob blake's family. the mayor of kenosha in the

meantime, had a message for the blake family. listen here. >> we are going to make sure that justice is done for everyone. people will have the right to make sure that the investigation is taken care of and is done correctly. >> oftenoften in these cases boy cam foot soldier crucial. but we wonder there is none of that in the case. kenosha police department were put in the budget. they were given the money to buy body cam in 2017 but they decided not to spend the money on body cams. so, as we understand it, not one of the officers involved in the shooting of jacob blake was wearing a body camera. that will clearly leave a lot of gaps in this story for some time. waiting to hear details from the police chief. right now there are so many questions about how this all

unfolded. this community desperately wants answers. melissa? >> melissa: yeah. without question. they have the right to them. jonathan hunt, thank you for that. this is "outnumbered." i'm melissa francis. here today is harris faulkner, town hall editor and fox news contributor katie pavlich. "fox news @ night" anchor shannon bream. joining us today the former white house press secretary for george w. bush and fox news contributor ari fleischer. ari, let me start with you. the fact we don't have the body cam footage is going to make this so much more difficult. what do we do from here? >> ari: we hesitate. we have to allow facts to come in. look, this is distressing. anybody who watches that, your sympathy goes out. how can you shoot somebody in the back. we don't know everything that took place. we don't know the circumstances. we don't know why they did

that. was it cold blooded murder or did they have a justification thinking that either their lives could have been in danger or that the children's lives in the backseat could have been in danger? we don't know. i'm just mindful about what happened in ferguson, missouri, where michael brown was involved in the police shooting. rye it yous took place -- riots took place. the justice department looked into this and determined it was self-defense. clearly this is not self-defense by the officers but but is there something we don't know and we haven't seen? hes tate. we are open to either side. let the facts develop. but every parent tell your children comply. if a police officer tells you to do something, even if the cop is wrong, comply. that is the best way to live. >> melissa: harris?

>> harris: wow! i'm flabbergasted by all of it. i am. you know yesterday when i watched that video for the first time all the way through, i could hear this woman in the foreground screaming for his life, jumping up and down. you see the one officer put his hand up to push her away. justification is the question. self-defense is not -- i agree with you, ari. i don't think that is question. weapons drawn, guy's back to you and one has him from the white t-shirt you see clearly in video and there are children inside the car. what was going on? what was being said? the dad today spoke with the "chicago sun times." jacob blake's father. he said what justified all the shots? what justified doing that in front of my grandsons? what are we doing?

what are we doing as a country right now? are we talking about what justice looks like as thoughtfully as we will on the show around the kitchen tables and the work spaces across america, socially distanced of course? what conversation do we want to have now? may 25 wasn't that long ago. the rioting has got our thoughts and eyes and our minds on all the wrong things. we are all complicit in reaching a moment right now where we can't not just hesitate but believe we will get to the facts. nothing changed. that is not good enough for america. >> melissa: i would add to that, shannon, you know, a lot of people make the comment that we seem to really focus on the issues every four years. and then we seem to sort of ignore them in the middle. i'm not blaming anyone on

either side. i'm saying that we focus when there seems to be something at stake but then it feels like we don't do the work that needs to be done in between. is that cynical? >> shannon: well, i think, i read an article yesterday that spelled this out so perfectly saying for people who are suffering these tragedies, it feels like to them they are seeing the same movie play over and over again. there is an interaction with the law enforcement that goes terribly wrong. someone is injured or killed. there is writing. coopting of the underlying message. you have people rioting and burning things down that is not bringing ajustice or attention to what needs to be fixed. police reform, better training. whatever kneads to be done. it's all lost in the message of the violence that distracts people who say i don't want any part of what they are doing. this is crazy. burning down communities and the cities. we lose the ability to have a conversation about jacob

blake. what happened to him. i talk talk to former police officers who talk about the training they are given when they are put in this situation. so i hear from theirview point how they view this. but you hear from the communities and the families and harris mentioned the woman begging because they have seen this same scenario play out on their tv screens. begging for his life. worried that this would go terribly wrong as it did. i talk to the former new york city police commissioner about this. the reporting and sounds like there are not body cameras but he said please, take a little bit of solace in the fact there will be local, state and probably federal investigations that will be thorough. people will be held accountable in whatever way is appropriate or necessary. there will be a lot of eyes on this situation. that may be some comfort at this moment. but not to the people, the family, the kids who witnessed this of jacob blake. the communities who feel like

they do not understand why they are seeing this time and time again. they feel like this is always the same story, melissa. >> melissa: yeah. another name jacob blake. it wasn't very long ago that we were talking about george floyd, katie. everyone agreed at that time that what happened was unforgiveably wrong. horrifying to watch. shannon said well and harris, too, from there it went off and all the different directions that seems to have undermined that original unity when everyone said, everyone, we don't want to see it happen again. how do we hold on to that sentiment and get something done and fixed, rather than how shannon explained that it spirals in to this place where so many coopt the message or forget and nothing changes?

>> katie: well, i think it's very important we take each of the cases on the own. because the facts are different. just based on the location and the police department. who was involved and what the situation was. i don't think they should be conflated. this has already been framed in the racial terms but it's weren't to focus on the facts. we don't know the whole story. but what we do know according to the "associated press" witnesses heard the police say "drop a knife" while this man was walking away from the police as he had guns drawn to get back in the car. we don't know what was in the car when he got in the car. we don't know what the police officers saw. yes, the lack of the body come ra footage will come -- camera footage will complicate that. we know blake was charged in july with the sexual assault, trespassing, disorderly conduct in connection with domestic abuse and there was a warrant out for his arrest. so, these are difficult terms to be working with. i think the police are blamed

here right away for the situation. the other question should be asked whether the police put mr. blake in this situation with the children in the back of the car while he was shot or whether mr. blake who was asked to stop getting in the vehicle who put himself in the situation after being told multiple times to stop resisting arrest. the racial politics come in to this right away. the facts we have now tell a different story of the one told in a lot of reporting. >> melissa: katie, you are right and all of the questions need to be answered but the problem is we have had so much recent history it makes it difficult for people to wait for the right answer. we see another city go up in flames. it helps no one and solves nothing. to some extent you understand

frustration and the impatience but we need the truth, the right answers. the correct answers. thanks to all of you. so against the backdrop of that unrest, law and order is expected to be a major focus of the republican national convention today. the big names likely to accuse democrats of ignoring violence in american cities. we will talk about all of that next. alright, i brought in ensure max protein to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't.

america is a story of a work in progress. that why it's tragic to see so much of the democratic party turning a blind eye to riots and rage. >> look at what is happening in american cities. cities all run by democrats. crime, violence and mob rule. democrats refuse to denounce

the mob. >> we won't settle for violence in our neighborhoods or at our border. >> it happened to george floyd is a disgrace. we cannot lose sight of the police are american heroes. defunding the police is not an option. >> harris: republicans going after democrats on violent big city crime during opening night of the republican convention. we are likely to hear more of that tonight. speakers you may see double down on president trump's law and order messaging including kentucky attorney general daniel cameron, former florida attorney general pam bondi and angel mom mary ann mendoza whose son was killed by undocumented driver in 2014. ari, this is a lane that the president does well in any of the poll in. people want to feel safe. if they live near the cities on fire night after night,

portland, oregon is a good example of that. bad example. you understand what i'm saying. they feel even more like they can adhere to the message. does the message need to resonate on different levels given all that has happened since may 25? >> ari: it resonates on any level. there is a slice of america who has given up on the country. there are anarchists and violent people; particularly, in portland and seattle for two decades. this rioting is nothing new. it has nothing to do with george floyd. floyd is the latest excuse to come out and riot and destroy. they hate the police. they hate much of america institutionally. that is the violent people in portland now. i separate that from the protesters. protest is 100% legitimate

patriotism. people taking to the street of whatever their cause is. if you cross line at the violence like they are doing, trying to burn down the police stations. burn it down with people inside it. this is anarchy and a threat to all of us. this is the anarchy when you watch it on tv you say could it happen where i live? it's one of the reasons gun sales go up around the united states in times of violence. public safety is a huge issue. it's interesting that it's become a matter in this election campaign. it hasn't been since the clinton-biden years when they had a different philosophy of guns and safety of the streets. now that is turned around and it's a vulnerability for the democrats. only thing people care about. it resonate -- it's something people care about. it resonates. >> harris: i ask the question of the democratic guests and marie harf go back and forth with this. but i'm right when i say a lot of the rioting and all you see

break apart, the democrat-led cities struggle with that now. they are not republican-run cities. that is just how it is broken out. so my question following up; particularly, in places where the governor evers who might step up in wisconsin and say we are going to get to the bottom of this and do all the things that you said before we went to the commercial break last block about getting to the answers now with jacob blake. my question is where is that leadership in all of this? does it not become fodder at a republican convention when you stand up and take back control of your city? with a vision, not just with more cops or more force on the street. but actually having a vision. >> shannon: there was a lot of analysis last week whether this was a missed opportunity at the d.n.c. for the democratic leaders to stand up and make it clear we support the peaceful protester and we support the message of justice that has to get out there.

we completely denounce those who are looking to burn and loot and destroy businesses and lives in the name of the selfish desires. not tied to anybody who needs accounting and justice in their name. so a lot of folks thought it was a missed opportunity. the r.n.c. is going to talk about it. they have been talking about it. the president continues to talk about it. it was interesting that even as they alluded to it on night one, one of the reaction from the "washington post" is what a grim, scary outlook the r.n.c. is painting. they told us it would be optimistic and it's not because they touch on serious issues. to the person out there who are voters, they are watching the cities. looking at this, they know there is more to the story. my late father is law enforcement officer. in portland they are going to 90 nights of this. three months of this. the loved ones at home worry every time they walk out the

door. trying to do the job to the best of their ability. they are working overtime and drag in the situation. good cop, somebody who has nothing in the past and nothing in the record. that is untoward. they still have to go take abuse and face situations. there is a great strain on law enforcement office officers. i think the president has tried to celebrate them. they have now endorsed him, many of the police unions who would haven't done it with the republicans in the past. you will continue to hear that message at the r.n.c. >> harris: katie, shannon brings up such salient points about where the police leadership is. i have been talking with the union leaders across the country for months. they have been dealing with the low morale, and suicide spiking. they are taking away the weekend hours of the offtime. our men and women in blue getting ready to work the shifts that are mind boggle something many days in a row.

they are tired. they don't feel supported. it isn't everybody that is struggling in terms of the incidents. they are individuals as you say, katie. that is important to remember. >> katie: this is a recipe for the disaster as you see the retirement of the police officers and then you see the cities canceling the incoming classes of the new officers. so not only are you losing the veterans to teach young ones how to train, what to do in the certain situations but you are not getting a new class of officers to help patrol the street. if you look at data and the polling, 81% of the black communities want more police officers or the same level of the police officers. they don't want less. you can't find 81% of the agreement on anything. when it comes to the public safety and the personal safety it's personal. if you think of the people you know who own small businesses. if you are small businessous

and you watch businesses burned to ground, your life's work. you want to protect what you have should it come the your neighborhood. we have seen this in the cities but this is spilling over to the suburbs as well. who is going to stop it? mccloskey spoke last night, they defended their private property with firearms in st. louis. they made the point that we were standing up against the criminals and the rioters who are not charged with violating or trespassing property on our property or in downtown st. louis. they went after us. the law abiding and the honest people for doing what we had to, to defend ourselves. that is a personal thing for a lot of people. >> harris: yeah. well, i know i was reading again in wisconsin small business owners, katie, echoing what you are saying. they feel trapped today. they know they have potentially more nights like what they have been seeing. their hearts hurt over what they saw on the videotape but they brace to lose what they

worked for. the word is "trapped." where do they go from here? we will move on. we are tracking hurricane laura which could deliver a powerful second punch to the gulf coast. after tropical storm marco made the landfall last night. when and where laura could hit. plus speaker after speaker at the r.n.c. warned a vote for the democratic ticket is a vote for socialism. whether that is a winning message for team trump. debate you don't want to miss. stay close. ♪ (vo) elevate your senses. the audi a6. get exceptional offers at your local audi dealer.

>> melissa: fox news alert. hurricane laura forecast to strengthened to a major category three storm as it takes aim at the gulf coast. it could make landfall as early as tomorrow night. evacuations already underway along the coast in texas and louisiana. where tropical storm marco

made landfall last night near new orleans. meteorologist adam klotz is tracking laura. >> good afternoon. this storm is running in the gulf of mexico. this is where it will begin to really intensify. currently a category one hurricane. winds at 75 miles per hour. it will lift to the north over the warm water. with that, it is going to intensify. it's up to a category two and likely getting up to a category three storm. that means winds of 115 miles per hour possible when it makes landfall late wednesday to early thursday morning. there is a little bit of time where it could shift. and the timing could change. that is the general time frame we are looking at. we have the hurricane warnings that are stretching from galveston, texas, to central louisiana. it will bring rain, strong winds and the storm surge. when you get a really large storm like this, it can bring a lot of water with it. this is still a ways out. we are looking at anywhere from 7-11 foot storm surge

along the coast. that could cause damage along the coast. on top of that, heavy rainfall. some of the areas as much as 12 inches of rain. this will be a big storm. one we are paying very close attention to, to wednesday night and thursday morning. >> melissa: unbelievable. all right, adam. thank you for that. make no mistake. joe biden and kamala harris want a cultural revolution. a fundamentally different america. if we let them, they will turn our country in to a socialist utopia. and history has taught us that path only leads to pain and misery, especially for hardworking people hoping to rise. >> melissa: ominous words from senator tim scott at the republican convention last night. he was far from the only one to deliver the warning that a

biden-harris administration would turn the u.s. in to a socialist country. there was also a very emotional address from cuban-born maximo alvarez whose family escaped the castro regime as a child. >> i have seen movies like this before -- movements like this before, false promises spread the wealth. free education. free healthcare. defund the police. they don't sound radical to my ears. when i watch the news in seattle, chicago, portland, and other cities, when i see the history being rewritten. i hear echoes of the former life i never wanted to hear again. >> melissa: you know, ari, he was so compelling. he could really hear him fighting back tears. if you watch people react live

last night, that is one of the big moments. another was walker talking about his experience. having real people get up and tell the stories is a risk because they are not used to being in front of the camera so you don't know how it is really going to go. but when someone like that gets up and just tells their own personal experience, it's hard to argue with. what was your impression? >> ari: i have two reactions to maximo. his speech was so moving. one was a personal reaction and the other is essence of what he talked about. i'm the son of an immigrant. my mother came to this country from 1939 to flee nazis and got out of hungary at the last minute. my grandfather could have given maximo speech. i could hear and see my grandfather when he was speaking. hungarian. not cuban. but in terms to the love of

america. gratitude of what the country has done for immigrants. i saw that in him last night. it's heartwarming. those of us who take freedom for granted, caplism and the united states for granted we would do well to listen those who escaped tyranny. if you remember how dangerous communism was and still is you would have a deeper appreciation for how great our country is. so maximo built a life on freedom and opportunity and give it all up to be in this country again. that is what i love about america. >> melissa: that is such an uplifting interpretation of what we heard. so many people have traced their family roots lately since that is, you know, something people do at home, especially in the lockdown and

there are so many services that do it now. it's fun to do with the kids and family. you realize that almost all of us have the relatives who escaped from somewhere to come to the country. at the same time, katie, bernie sanders made the argument for republicans in what could be the phrase of the election. last time it was "the deplorables." this time bernie sanders saying there were ideas that not long ago, months ago were considered extreme in the democratic party are now mainstream. while democrats try to say that the left isn't about socialism, they have someone at the convention that is contradicting them. your thoughts? >> katie: yeah. you mentioned maximo telling his personal story. he said my father came here and said don't lose this place. he said my family is done abandoning things that are rightfully theirs they have

earned. he talked about how he has heard the things before. he has seen the people's ideas before. he has seen the power grabs and the promises of the free healthcare. free education. he said the promises were made to people just like him. by fidel castro. saw people who looked just like him dying, starving as a result of what he said, "taking the communist pill." when you here from someone who experienced it and is now standing up to say no, we are not bringing that type of communism here. you look at what sanders has been putting forward. sanders is a proponent of the castro regime. he praised castro as a humane person. he had a reading program for people in cuba. so when you hear it coming from someone who experienced it whose family went through it. saying we will no longer give up what is rightfully ours. democrats talk about taking

from the rich. implement the "free programs." it sounds pretty similar. coming from someone who experienced it, it's compelling. >> melissa: shannon, democrats would fire back and say that is not joe biden. >> shannon: yeah, well it's interesting over the weekend former president barack obama said that biden and sanders are not that far apart from each other. they have the same goals in mind. so we take that from him. i do think that the personal stories were effective in the d.n.c. they are effective in the r.n.c. i think personal touch brings it home for people. we heard from young women, entrepreneurs of the hispanic decent at the r.n.c. talk about how they survived covid with the help of the funding that came through washington and talked about their family journey. a personal story. regardless of which convention is doing it, it has impact. >> melissa: yeah. all right. two words speaker nancy pelosi used to describe the president and the g.o.p. have top

republican lawmakers calling her out. what she said, and what they say and what all this says about the politics and the voting in november. (calm inspirational music)

>> harris: we have breaking news now. the president tweeted that he has now nominated chad wolf to be the secretary of homeland security. wolf has been serving as the acting secretary since 2019. and it's been more than 500 days since a confirmed secretary led this particular government agency. mop uthe president's tweet. "i am pleased to inform the public acting secretary chad wolf will be nominated to be the secretary of homeland security. we greatly appreciate his service." for those who know a little bit in the last couple of days

about the news with secretary wolf. acting secretary now nominated to be full secretary, there has been some talk that the government accountability office was saying he was not valid to be appointed to the position in the in the first place. the president whether it played a role or not nominated him in the position. it's been 500 days since someone has been confirmed by the senate to hold the position. now in the hands of the senate. we will follow the story as it takes shape. >> sadly, enemies to the voting system is at 1600 especially avenue with the ally -- at 1600 pennsylvania avenue with the allies of the president of the united states. they are doing everything they can to scare people, intimidate, say the law enforcement will be there.

diminish the role of the postal system in this. this is actually shameful. enemies of the state. >> harris: wow! those words from nancy pelosi. speaker of the house sparking the outrage among the top republican lawmakers. among those the house minority steve scalise shot in a practice session for congressional baseball game. watch. >> there is no place for the hyper charged language that she uses. enemy of the state. that is the language that raised to the crazed gunman to kill everyone on the ballpark. >> harris: hyper charged language. what do you say? >> ari: of course. it's horrible. she could not be dumber to talk like that. if you don't like donald trump don't act like donald trump. i objected when trump called the press the enemy of the people. i have my share of battles

with the press but i don't like that language. if you don't like the language don't use it. don't engage and don't match what i thought of the president excess when he did it. for nancy pelosi to play in the same sandbox is foolish of her. she will never beat trump at this game and she makes herself look bad. never should have said it in the first place on principle. >> harris: melissa, you see the reporter there. often times anchors and the reporters are nodding, so on and so forth. you don't know if they are taking contextually all that is in. if you hear the word "enemy" in any context we know how the word used as ari pointed out. so if democrats don't like that word why would the leader of the party use it? >> melissa: that is what we have come to. if you look at the british government and everyone is standing in the house of

commons or parliament screaming at each other. things have changed. i don't know if we ever go back to the civility and the things that we used to not say or you couldn't say in politics and you shouldn't say. ari is absolutely right. you shouldn't become what you are accusing the other side of being. that makes you look ridiculous. ridiculous is where we are. >> harris: quickly, katie, i heard one of you say what will be the new deplorables? domestic enemies. what is your thought? >> katie: nancy pelosi is acting out after the accusation of the post office and the conspiracy theory that the mailboxes are removed on purpose so we won't be counting ballots on time. so it's a reaction to that. i think steve scalise words stand strong in terms of

responding to that since she named the republicans as enemies of the state. >> harris: mike pompeo is set to speak and tom cotton is expected to tear in to joe biden on foreign policy. what the republicans are planning to say. what will it do for moving the needle one way or the other? particularly among independents. ta-da! did you know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? i should get a quote. do it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ book two separate qualifying stays and earn a free night. the open road is open again. and wherever you're headed, choice hotels is there.

earlier on fox. >> he is weak and wrong on america. we won't stand up to defend america and he will exercise the same terrible judgment he has shown since 1973 when he first got to washington. that is why it's essential to re-elect the president for another four years. >> melissa: so ari, moving the embassy to jerusalem is a huge deal for the president during his term. something to be emphasized at the same time that democrats say mike pompeo's violating the hatch act. what do you think? >> ari: for anybody who cares about in the united states relationship with the best ally in the middle east, donald trump has been a shining success. so has mike pompeo. i will draw a line on this. secretary of defense and secretary of state even the ones i love should stay out of electoral politics. the image from jerusalem and the message will resonate but i don't think it's worth the price. secretaries of those

departments and the attorney general should stay out of the political campaigns. i will point out that when barack obama's attorney general eric holder called himself obama's wing man the press was fine with it. they only do this to trump officials so there is a bit of hypocrisy. i stated my opinion. >> melissa: yeah. but you don't want to join in hypocrisy just because hypocrisy is there. katie, obviously, they are trying to make the point. president trump accused of being antisemitic over and over again as ari said, if you look at the actions of what he has done he has been a true friend of israel. >> katie: true friend of israel. broader he has tried to bring peace to the middle east. they had the first peace deal since the 1990s. you know, there is a line, i guess. but to say that the positions and the diplomacyability is dipt

political. we stopped that line when former secretary of state john kerry meeting with the iranians secretly and telling them to wait out president trump to get diplomacy back. there is a reason that the president is touting foreign policy through mike pompeo tonight in historic fashion and historic place. >> melissa: shannon, your take? >> shannon: you have to look ahead to senator tom cotton on thursday and china that could open fronts about the coronavirus. he talked a about the intellectual property theft. it will open up a conversation about hunter biden and the vice president attempts to protect him with regard to potentially business dealings he had done there. the left says it's a witch hunt. we will see. it will come up thursday. >> melissa: all right. more "outnumbered" in a moment. we'll be right back. tech: whent auto glass damage... ...safelite can come to you. >> tech: and you'll get a text when we're on our way. >> tech: just leave your keys on the dash and we'll replace your windshield with safe, no-contact service. >> tech: schedule at safelite.com. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪
