began each sunday. yesterday several people told us them and their spouses would be armed and ready to defend property from the protestors who burned some businesses. the sheriff confirmed that what happened appears to have involved an armed vigilante. here's what we saw happen. gun shots in the distance. then within moments of that happening, a man carrying a long rifle running down the streets. he was chased by members of the crowd. he appeared to trip and fall. some of the crowd jumped on top of them. he then appeared to fire his rifle several times hitting at least two people. he then got up and began walking away as the sound of gun shots

echoed around him. the sheriff said this man appeared to be one of those armed vigilantes we saw in a video earlier standing around in gas stations and also on top of some buildings. all of them armed with long rifles. as you mentioned at the top. a 17-year-old has been charged with murder. he is expected to be brought back here to wisconsin from illinois where he was arrested earlier today. those vigilantes say they were defending property. the mayor of kenosha spoke and appealed to everybody to simply calm down. >> violence in the community is not acceptable. violence to property, violence to people. absolutely unacceptable.

it is up to us to make sure that did not continue. >> all of this follows the sunday shooting of 29-year-old jacob blake who had appeared to be involved in a scuffle with police officers. then walk around to the side of his vehicle, appeared to be leaning in. as one officer grabbed him by the shirt and at least seven shots were fired into jacob blake's back. we understand he remains in serious but stable condition in the hospital. his family and his attorney have confirmed that he is currently paralyzed from the waist down. we heard also from president trump today via twitter who said he will not stand for what he calls arson, looting and violence in american streets. he is sending federal law enforcement and the national

guard to kenosha today. and we understand that the governor evers agreed to that this. there will be 500 national guard troops deployed tonight to try to prevent the deadly violence that marked last night. >> bill: thank you. jonathan hunt in kenosha, wisconsin. night 3 of the republican national convention features another new venue. the vice-president mike pence will speak at fort mchenry in maryland. tonight's theme american heroes. the white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany will speak. john roberts is at the fort already to give us a preview. >> good afternoon. can you imagine some of the heroes that will be mention eedy

many of the speakers will be the once in the gulf coast of louisiana and texas putting themselves in harm's way as hurricane laura comes ashore. fort mchenry is appropriate for land of heroes. a big focus tonight on the heroes in the u.s. military as well as u.s. law enforcement. the vice-president mike pence's speech will be optimistic and offering sharp contrast between the trump administration and what the campaign calls joe biden's platitudes. karen pence, his wife will speak and the south dakota governor and rick a former director of national intelligence.

kellyanne conway who will be leaving the administration next week and the president's daughter-in-law laura trump who gave us a preview. >> look at that when president accomplished in the past 3.5 years and contrast that with what joe biden hasn't accomplished with 47 years in congress. >> secretary of state mike pompeo shock last night. unprecedented move. tonight the press secretary kayleigh mcenany will be recounting for women voters her own personal journey. he had a double maste echectomy prevent breast cancer. come the biden campaign will offer counter programming. the running mate kamala harris will give an address in washington, d.c. at 3 o'clock

tomorrow afternoon to account what the biden campaign calls the president trump failings with the coronavirus. >> from the day that i met him, he has only wanted to make this country the best it can be. for many years, i watched him throw concerned and frustrated. i am so proud to see the many things he has done in such a short time. >> bill: that was first lady telling voters why they should reelect her husband during her speech in the rose garden. melania offered symptathy to everyone who lost loved ones to covid-19. martha maccallum joins me now. let's start with melania's moment. what did you make of it? >> martha: that's a strong speech. i think for a lot of people they saw how melania grew into the role as first lady.

we don't see her as much as we have seen other first ladies. behind-the-scenes she works with children. her be best campaign was prominent. she tried to humanize her husband and counter balance him. she is very calm and grounded in the way she speaks. he said my husband is a very untraditional politician. he says what he thinks and nobody can say they don't know what is on his mind because it's all out there. she tried to present him as a dogged worker some someone who cares about the country. i think it was a successful speech if you look across twitter, you will see all kinds of criticism of her speech last night. i think that's unavoidable. she will be under attack because she is donald trump's wife. >> bill: i thought one of her

most effective moments was when he said i want to talk to mothers and fathers. trying to raise children in a confounding world. on twitter you should not hit send. midler said oh, hell she still can't speak english and then apologized and said. >> martha: you our kennedy had one of the greatest responses. she said i didn't know xenophobia was the wind beneath her wings. the famous bet midler song we grew up knowing. she made someone because of their accent goes against the

grain of what you think of people like her should never want to condemn someone because of their accent in america. her story about growing up in slou slovenia and wanted to come to america. that was one of the most important things in her life. to make fun of that goes against the grain of what they believe in. >> bill: i picked this one out. the line he dropped at the end was the most telling. >> my life changed forever in that one moment. the mainstream media ramped up into attack mode and did so without ever investigating mr.

phillips motive or asking for my side of the story. >> bill: that stuck out the most. >> martha: that was a powerful delivery. that was a taped piece last night from nicholas sandmann. it was chilling talking about the moment after he was standing there and he said he was trying not to ruffle feathers when he was staring down mr. phillips there. he said he heard other people recording the moment, say don't worry, we've got it. we have our video to make viral. we can get out of here. i just thought, so much of what we see online is taken out of context. reporters and very big institutions like cnn learned a tough lesson in the sandmann episode. >> bill: i am out of time. what are you hearing from the white house? pleased so far? >> they feel things are going well. look forward to mike pence's big

the intense winds gets there by midnight and the a major category-3 or greater force winds arriving closer to the time of landfall. with all of that wind, it's bringing the storm surge. that's the biggest concern with all of this. some areas, 15 to 20 feet. >> bill: oh my god. adam, don't go far. we will need you. the fema administrator. what is the update from head-to-head headquarters? a dangerous category-4 hurricane. if you are under evacuation orders, the time is to waning, you need to get out and take action.
