1:08 pm
consistency across the office of director of national intelligence, engagement with congress on elections, the odni will primarily meet obligation to keep congress informed with written, you know, written answers for filling requirement they believe, did he give a reason why they've decided to cancel the in-person testimony. david: eric, great person. that appears to be the reason from director of national intelligence that at this point, i suspect it's not a sufficient reason for members on capitol hill and you're not only going toe -- to hear democrats that are against this, but republicans. there's always been concerns about people testifying in congress but you know what people are doing virtually so i suspect we will see a lot of pushback, eric. >> eric: we will see what happens. david, thanks so much. arthel. ♪ ♪ arthel: race for 2020 entering

1:10 pm
pennsylvania, arizona, all states trump won last time. both biden and kamala harris are stressing that at these events there are going to be significant covid-19 protections in place. president trump is tauntings them on twitter with this, now that biden's polls are dropping fast, he has agreed to get out of his basement and start campaigning in ten days, sadly that's slow reaction time for a president. our beloved usa needs a much faster, smarter and tougher response than that. get out there today, joe. the biden campaign is trying to go on offense as well, trying to get college football fans in swing states to blame trump for canceled tailgates this coming fall. >> by opening day standards we are going to be in the 60's, enjoy the game. >> please join in the singing of national anthem.

1:12 pm
knife. family and lawyers dispute that. the protests have been largely peaceful the past few days after horrendous deadly violence. keeping tabs is garrett tenney. garrett: you heard behind us, this is a nonviolent gathering. if this rally gets underway, at least 500 people or so that made this march under a mile or so in kenosha county courthouse. members and leaders will be speaking here in a little bit and as the rally gets underway the union has released detailed account of what happened when police arrived an confronted jacob blake. according to union, police arrived after hitting a complaint that blake was trying to steal his girlfriend's keys and her car. he allegedly refused to
1:13 pm
cooperate with the officers and forcefully fought them as they tried to arrest them. blake put one officer in head lock and continue today resist after two officers shot him with a taser. kenosha police chief alluded yesterday afternoon. >> that's what changed the dynamics. garrett: none of those events caught on cell phone video that's gone viral around the world, however, blake does appear to be holding something in his left hand and comes around the front of the car. the union claims he was holding a knife and he refused to drop it. witnesses say they didn't see a knife. blake's attorney says he was never holding it and investigators have not cleared that important detail. this morning wisconsin lieutenant governor said he's not buying the union's explanation. >> when we see these things in broad daylight, it feels like we are being told to not believe
1:14 pm
our eyes and what we all see and was the sort of general conclusion. garrett: eric, as you mentioned, more than a thousand national guard troops in kenosha and largely stayed out of site because in the last few days things have become peaceful and calm which is a relief here for the community, eric. >> eric, garrett, thanks so much. family is speaking. >> speak up and stand up not just for jacob but for all the people who have not gotten justice. since we are doing things our way today, i'm an artist, so i'm going to share some of my work with y'all and i wrote this piece just for today. i haven't memorized it yet so --

"the new york times" is reporting that a small group of nba players including lebron james and chris paul consulted with former president barack obama to figure out a path forward. here is the 3 major initiatives that the nba has now agreed to do, establish social justice coalition with reps, players and coaches to focus on a broad-range of issues including voting and police and criminal justice reform, put local election officials to convert franchise-own arena properties

black power salute in metal stand in 1968 olympics in méxico city. joining me now bronze medalist dr. john carlos, dr. carlos, pleasure to have you. i want to jump right in and ask you if you would briefly take us back to that day and what was in your mind and heart, then to my question, why are we still here 52 years later? >> all right, my mind and my heart i felt that america was broken relative to the level playing field and the violence and death and hurt and sorrow that had taken place by the black community, not just law enforcement, that's today's situation in terms of peoples lives being taken but life in general throughout our history has been negative relative to american history, so i felt at
1:25 pm
that time along with other athletes that we had a following, great following, we had much following as maybe the president of the united states. we had a voice and we thought that we should use our voice to speak for those who were voiceless. we wanted to lay things on the table and let them know that we will no longer wait as you say, give us time, things are changing. my father was in the first world war and he told me they told him that. so what we are saying now is the time is up. time is now -- the ball is in your court. we want to see how you are going play this game. these young individuals that took a step today, by taking time off from the game to say i'm going to step back, when i say young individuals, i'm talking about the men and women. i'm talking about the baseball players, the golfers, i'm talking about the tennis players. i'm talking every individual of color, blacks in particular that participate in professional
1:26 pm
sports, they are telling are telling the owners, they are telling the commissioners, the ball is in your court. you had time to say i denounce that's happening to black lives that have lost their lives and i denounce the fact that law enforcement is taking lives so freely, and now the ball is in your court. if you choose not to speak because you want to go before your political ideals, we are stepping up to the plate now to speak in our own right. arthel: and you know as a result of this week's walkout, christina coleman reported with focus of advocating for meaningful police and criminal justice reform and voting access, so how can the players continue to use their power and their platforms without disrupting playing the game or
1:27 pm
is disruption needed? >> well, i think first of all, it's required that all of the factors that you just mentioned are involved. the fact that they took the initiative to form this coalition is a great step. but in order to make sure that someone is staying focus and staying in their lane, you to put up barriers to let them know if you do x, we are going to do y and in other words if you still have no response, we might have to take another day off or we might have to miss another season as a whole. we don't like the fact that we are hurting them economically, but we don't like the fact that they are sitting back and allowing us to die, so we are putting barriers up now. that's excellent step that they are doing now and particularly the fact that they are setting the arenas up to let people come and vote. arthel: will we as a society ever discuss or explore why
1:28 pm
people are peacefully protesting and not give so much air to the extremists fanning the flames of violence and dangerous division? >> well, that's part of the politics of america. you know, to disguise what the real truth is. how are you going to resolve any issue if you don't have round-table discussion? how are you going to have any politics that take place and individual that is have created atrocities? these owners -- the people in power in the united states, they didn't start racist attitudes that's taking place. that was established years upon years ago. they are inheritance of it and they have done nothing but perpetuate it. they haven't tried to do anything to stop it. they've made capital gain in so many different areas. black people were still losing their lives and areas where they've made capital gain and made capital gains on the backs of black people and the same black people that are crying now for them to raise voices and
1:29 pm
tell them enough is enough. arthel: if we are at a pivotal point, where do you see us as americans going from here? >> well, like i say, if america doesn't sit down and realize, when i say the powers to be, if they don't sit down and realize that we have to have discussion, we have to have serious discussion about these issues, the statement, is slogan, black lives matter, no justice no peace. when you see tyranny, that creates no peace. if i don't sleep comfortfully because i don't have food to feed my kids or my mother was gunned down or i was in my apartment i was gunned down, then i'm going to be a very uncomfortable individual and therefore if i'm uncomfortable now, we are at the stage in life now that everyone is going to be uncomfortable. arthel: dr. john carlos, a man

of many stories. you've seen a lot of stuff and you are still here, still standing and offering your advice and guidance to the young people following in your footsteps. we thank you, sir. thanks for joining me. >> let me pass on my condolences to you as well. i understand that you had a loss in your family and i sympathize and pray for you as well. arthel: i appreciate my father art passed a year ago. eric. eric: that we do. heart felt tributes over death of chadwik after battle with colon cancer. ♪ ♪ eric: became a star as title super hero in marvel's black

1:38 pm
violence and unrest that we have seen this week in wisconsin, well, it could give republicans an president trump a boost with suburban voters in key swing states. former mayor of madison, wisconsin tells politico this, quote, significant number of undecided voters who are not ideological and can move republican to democratic column and back again. they are in effect the people who decide elections and distraught created by police murdering african americans. emily lawson the president stressing law and order. how do you think this will resinate with voters? >> hi, eric. this is a message that president trump and the republicans have been getting at all summer ever since the first wave of protests
1:39 pm
and in some cases riots and destruction that were sprung out of the georgia -- the killing of george floyd, and so that was nationwide. it was a lot of violence concentrated in city centers and the argument was these democratically-controlled places is what the country will look like if joe biden wins. something that joe biden and the democrats really brushed off, they condemned the violence as well, but it was really -- the argument was punctuated this week during republican national convention when you had speakers making the same argument against the backdrop of kenosha, wisconsin and the destruction that happens there and the aftermath of the george floyd shooting or -- i'm sorry, jacob blake shooting. and so this is something that is also punctuated because kenoshaf swing-state voters as you mentioned are living, so the worry among democrats is about whether this will see a spark
1:40 pm
and change of movement. it's a little too early to tell yet. one poll of wisconsin voters before the election -- before the rnc convention showed that support for the black lives matter has fallen 10 points since june and is now up 49% and we saw president trump nationally did close gap behind joe biden a little bit in one more poll released today from 10 points to 6 points, so it's still too early to tell whether this is going to be an effective strategy for republicans. eric: you know, people obviously horrified by the violence that we've seen, by the criminals, looters, the anarchists, supremacist and others and the violence that we have seen not just across kenosha and other cities and also people sickened by some of the alleged police and police actions that we have seen. we are going to dip in, emily, if you standby of jacob blake's
1:41 pm
father is now addressing the crowd in kenosha. let's listen for a moment. [inaudible] >> whatever on the streets, whatever. the movement comes from the ground up, ground up. not top down. [cheers and applause] >> the people. [inaudible] >> we are not talking about racism, contradiction. what's the difference?
1:42 pm
what's the difference? he's a registered voter. we have to call this shit out. acknowledge it. [inaudible] >> we are the people is greater than man's technology. eric: emily, we are listening to the passion and fire and the deep-felt emotion of what they are going through. how do both candidates try to then navigate this and what are their goals? >> sure, well, presi hammering w and order message as we just mentioned. joe biden has -- he has condemned the violence that he's seen and he's also referenced the jacob blake family and words from jacob blake's mother, she was also saying that this is not
1:43 pm
what her son would want in wake of this -- in wake of this incident, and sort of really trying to condemn violence but also not -- not focus on it as much as president trump and we direct the message more to what we are seeing from his family now about the underlying issues in society, the struggle for racial justice. focus on the peaceful protests and so the criticism of joe biden coming from a lot of democrats and analysts right now is that the violence and destruction has become so prominent that it's something that he needs to be more forceful in addressing. he did in a recent statement say that a lot -- he said that a lot of the violence that we are seeing is a result of right-wing
1:44 pm
and in some cases white supremacist agitators but this is something that's nationwide and something that joe biden will definitely -- it will be on his radar and as much as he tries to go forward. eric: and emily, certainly inspired the pick of kamala harris as the running mate for vice president for mr. biden. emily larsen with the washington examiner, thank you. we are listening to jacob -- jacob blake's father. let's listen. >> bullets in my son's back. i was down in here with my sisters and my brothers. hell, yeah, man, but understand, when you get angry you lose control of your nature. my nature is to protect my son, to stand up for my son when he

cannot stand up, to ask the police in this town what gave them the right to murder on my child and what gave them the right to think that my son was an animal, what gave them the right to take something that was not his, i'm tired of this. i'm tired of this. no justice -- >> no peace. >> no justice -- >> no peace. >> we are not going to stop. we are not going to stop. my son the other day when i was in the hospital, give me a second. he grabbed my hand -- he closed
1:46 pm
my hand and he said, daddy, i love you. you know i love you. i said, man, listen, i love you more than anything in the world. he said, i didn't think you were going to come. what? man, i got in the car, y'all, and drove all night. then my baby said, why did they shoot me so many times. i said, baby, they weren't supposed to shoot you at all. i know -- i know there's a lot of parents out here in this crowd, you cannot imagine what it feels like to look at your baby, paralyzed from the waist down, shackled, shackled, where was my son going? they already put him in the

inequities that is placed on many black americans, yet at the same time acknowledging, hey, listen, guys, we are all together and this is what he wants everyone to understand, don't look at me because i'm black and don't look at me because i'm white and look at me as human beings and until we do that, this will not stop and he said no more caps, he doesn't want any more shootings, he's speaking of police shooting of black people and he's pointing out there are people, good white people who are standing with us and he says we have to do this together and come out of this together, no violence, he's saying no violence, that's too easy. we have to do this, we have to do it right and we continue to stand, but we stand tall with dignity and do not resort to what stereotypes people have of you. that's my take on what mr. blake said. i have a lot else i could say but i have to go to my next
1:53 pm
guest right now. and here it is. there is a big push to register young poll workers for election day. the majority of them are traditionally senior retirees but this year due to the pandemic, some say they don't feel safe being at election sites and the state of alabama is encouraging counties to recruit young poll workers including teenagers who are too young to vote. joining me now is alabama secretary of state john merrill. thank you for joining us. first of all, tell me, is there a real need, are you finding that more experience perhaps older poll workers are -- have alerted you i should say that they don't want to show up to work because they are afraid of catching coronavirus. we are still by the way in the middle of a pandemic. >> well, not really. we are not concerned about not having enough poll workers, but i think it needs to be made clear that the time to be concerned about not having enough poll workers is not
1:54 pm
october the 25th or october the 28th or november the second. the time to be concerned is august the 29th, august the 30th, august the 31st because this is when you can do something about it and that's why we are doing something about it in alabama. actually in 2019 we passed legislation who enable young people ages 16 and older to be able to go to the polls and work the polls as student intern poll workers. that enables us to have a much broader and deeper pool than we ever had before. so we are excited about that and where it is leading us today. arthel: young people, they are computer savvy more so than older people but do they have the experience because what the older people have is experience, so what happens if there's legitimate questions or a problem that could crop up that night on november 3rd that pertains to voting protocol and
1:55 pm
voting history and voting guidelines, are they ready to jump in, the younger poll workers? >> certainly and they are trained just like the other experienced poll workers are. the thing to remember is that these student workers, the ones that are 16 up until the age of 18 because they are 18 and registered, they can become a full-pledged poll workers but the 16-year-olds cannot handle the ballot and not determine the eligibility of the voters on site. there's so much work to do on election day that they don't have a job for them. the other part to remember in alabama we have the electronic poll books, so our voters come in and they are processed for checking in is expedited. this involves a small computer to take their driver's license, to scan it or to run the strip, to check the voter in. many of those young poll workers are excited about taking over
1:56 pm
those responsibilities, some of our more seniors workers have been more apprehensive or anxious using new technology. arthel: yeah. >> so what we have found where scott the probate judge there had more than 60 poll workers that were student poll workers in the march third election, we saw them working together, having a great experience and great time. arthel: well, listen, secretary of state of alabama john merrill, we hope that you have it under control, sounds like you do, we hope all votes are counted and no problems there. we wish you luck on november 3rd, very important day in our country, john, thank you. >> thank you for having me as your guest. arthel: thank you, we are going to take a short break. we will be right back. sonny. was that good? line!
1:57 pm

1:58 pm
1:59 pm
eric: breaking in because the president is talking in texas holding a roundtable on hurricane laura. let's listen to president trump. president trump: that was great. that was a great day. we had tremendous, i think, tremendous success. i will let you know on the fourth or the third or the 30th or five months later. [laughter] thank you very much everybody. i very much appreciate you being here. thank you, we love the state. it's been a great state for me and a great state for everybody in this room, i can tell you that.
2:00 pm
we are here to help and we are joined today by governor greg abbott for a special man and doing a fantastic job for the state of texas and he has from day one and lieutenant governor dan patrick, another friend of mine, thank you dan. i watched you on an important show the other night and you did incredibly well represented the state. state attorney general ken paxton, a very aggressive attorney general and that is what we like. you have got some very big ones including the mail-in ballots. unsolicited i call them, unsolicited mail in ballots where people are sitting home and they just get hit with mail-in ballots all over the place. i hope you will be successful and i think it's important case and then not only here but for the whole country. i think we have 18 of those cases out the country in pennsylvania we have in north carolina and we have a lots of them. you are one of the great leaders. thank you very much, kevin.
2:01 pm
a man who is really been there when we need him and he has been incredible protectionist and my friend, ted cruz. thank you. we spent a lot of time and working to get texas to bring it back. congressman brian, thank you very much. a warrior and a really perfect guy. randy, where is randy? randy weber congressman, thank you very much and we have a couple of people who have been friends of mine that i won't mention too much but they got a little shot of covid and i understand they will be absolutely, perfectly fine but i want to say hello to becky ames. becky, thank you. you are doing good, right? were you hit hard? >> not as hard as we could have been. it could have been harder so we are recovering and we appreciate you being here, mr. president. president trump: and q, becky.
2:02 pm
we hear you're doing a great job. we were talking before about the past and the path -- the power was incredible in louisiana to get very hard hit but louisiana was just a little further and it could have been a record-setting hit because it was at 185, 175 and went to 150 miles per hour when it hit but it was even worse than that and it came quickly. it came very quickly. in fact, i guess you were saying, pete, they looked at it as a storm and all of a sudden the storm became a monster. >> thirty-six hours category for. president trump: it went from a storm to 185, 175 miles an hour and it was, i think it was the most strongest that they've had in louisiana and texas at 150 years but the path was a little bit lucky so got a little lucky. i want to also introduce chad
2:03 pm
wolf, as you know, we are doing a fantastic job and hopefully ted will be pushing that very hard and we will get him through quickly because he's done a fantastic job. thank you very much, chad. >> yes, we'll get it done. president trump: if he says it,. [laughter] that's a good sign. fema administrator who has been doing this for a long time and we have not had a loss yet and we are doing good and we do it fast and we get you backup and everything i think the governor has been signed and you are ready to go. >> yes, yes. president trump: i will dispense with all the different numbers, you know what they are, we just sort of did it and we were in louisiana and went through and they have been hit hard. we went to a couple of areas and i have never seen anything quite like it. trees ripped out from the roots, pine trees broken in half, not even but you just don't see that
2:04 pm
kind of power. so, we went through something that was pretty bad and i don't think you've had anything like that so that is good. we took the emergency declaration and give it to the governor immediately and dan called about it also and i appreciate that call. between the two of them it's a great one, to punch. i appreciate that. fema has delivered 400,000 liters of water, 250,000 meals already and we worked with the private sector to restore power to the remaining 200,000 residents and they think the power will be restored almost very good order, i believe. and all of the other things we have been doing, infrastructure, all of the elements that we have been working on that we have been working closely with ted cruz and john cornyn who i hear is doing very well by the way, great senator. he's doing a fantastic job. we've been working with the governor and with dan and i
2:05 pm
think maybe it would be good if you tell us how we are doing and what can we do and how can we help you. >> first, i need to thank you for the weight you have stepped up. people don't know this but on midnight as the storm was crossing the shoreline, you called me and then, that was 1:00 a.m. your time, and then we spoke again the morning after it happened and you have been there for us every step of the way helping us. never have i seen such a swift response to our request as we have received from administrator garrett. we cannot thank you enough. i call him and he knows in advance i will be calling him. [laughter] and then he just says yes immediately. of all the storms i have been through with, as you know it's been a lot, i never received a swifter response from the administration until so on behalf of everyone in this room
2:06 pm
and everyone across the state of texas we want to say thank you for it and thank the local officials and we appreciate the judge here in this county right now and the members of congress, becky and the other mayors and we appreciate everything you do, and of course if i could share some details i know you cover the details but -- >> just wrote quick i declared it a disaster in 62 counties in the president has similarly declared an disaster in each of those counties so on behalf of all those 62 counties we all say thank you, mr. president for that. right now our areas of focus are on power, water, points of distribution, safe return of evacuees and damage assessment. on power and water restoration, peak powder outages exceeded 350,000 locations across 35 counties. current outages as of 9:00 a.m. this morning are about 120,000
2:07 pm
locations in 23 counties, meaning emergency repair crews have quickly restored more than 250 or i mean 230 of those power outages incidences. for drinking water assessments, 111 of 107 assessments have been completed, 84 are operational, 26 systems are under boil water notice. in addition to things like that we have 19 points of distribution set up in the impacted regions that are providing things like water, ice, mr ease, water systems will remain in operable. there were over 10000 evacuees that are in shelters throughout the state and approximately 3300 hotel rooms. of the shelter residents the texas division of emergency management is tracking more than 2200 shelter residents to or from louisiana and very important is that more than 10000 of those evacuees were in
2:08 pm
non- congregant settings that they were in hotel rooms typically and that is so important because we had to respond to hurricane laura while also responding to covid-19 and the best setting for someone who is in evacuees from hurricane is not in a large congregate settings but in separate settings to prevent the spread of covid-19. he succeeded in getting through hurricane hannah without the spread of covid-19 and i believe we will succeed in getting through hurricane laura without spreading covid-19. eric: listening to texas governor greg abbott layout the aftermath of hurricane laura in his state of the president. earlier the president talked about hurricane laura but also criticized the use of mail-in ballots and before the event started we heard him talk about the republican and trunk campaign lawsuits in some states against some mail in voting laws like the one in pennsylvania and the president alluded on microphone that the fact that there it may not be known for a
2:09 pm
few days or even weeks and he made some comments about that but the balance of this roundtable is centered on that storm and they say it is stronger than katrina and katrina hit 15 years ago today. right now to another thousand people in louisiana remain without running water, thousands more without power but the cleanup in the huge job to try to get it back right begins. this is a new hour of america's news headquarters and i'm eric shawn. arthel: and i'm arthel nevill, president from surveying the devastation across to gulf states print earlier today he was in louisiana meeting with local officials and people there affected by the storm. we have fox news teams coverage, kc siegel isn't lake charles louisiana with the latest on the cleanup efforts now underway and we begin with david live at the white house with more on president trump's travels today. david. reporter: good afternoon to you both. president trump a busy day as he crosses both of those gulf
2:10 pm
states. he is in texas right now, orange texas. it's a very eastern part of texas and he is touring in operations center meeting with greg abbott, senator ted cruz, governor grab abbott, excuse me and other texas officials. he did to her neighborhood in louisiana an extraordinary site to jesse and a neighborhood completely devastated by this after all hurricane laura just hitting two days ago on august 27. president trump meeting there in louisiana with first responders and also talking to members of the cage and a navy, volunteer group that helps people within floods and hurricanes and at least a dozen fatalities in louisiana and texas in one of those sadly to report they are all sad but one a 14 -year-old girl killed when a tree fell on her home in louisiana. the president will be back here at the white house after leaving texas and will head back to louisiana to come back on air force one where he will join staff here at the white house later this evening.
2:11 pm
eric and arthel. arthel: david, we can now confirm that the office of the director of national intelligence will no longer reef congress in person on election security issues. tell us what that means and why are they doing this? reporter: that is certainly a big story is president trump's down on the gulf coast that broke here in washington and you can expect to hear about it for a wild. the tradition here in washington is the office of national intelligence, office of the director of national intelligence, john radcliffe, former congressman from texas normally they would be briefing members of congress representatives would be briefing about any election interference or security issues and radcliffe's office will no longer be doing in person briefings with members of the house and senate intelligence committee but instead they will be writing and putting it in writing and the director of national intelligence radcliffe made this announcement the day and in the past it has been done in person but house speaker nancy pelosi and intelligence chairman adam schiff are livid
2:12 pm
and furious over this, putting out a statement, i want to read in part and part of that same and says -- this is a shocking abdication of its lawful response ability to keep the congress currently informed and a betrayal of the public's right to know how foreign powers are trying to subvert our democracy. as i mentioned, director of national intelligence john radcliffe will be actually interviewed in an exclusive interview with maria bartiromo tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. on sunday morning features and you can imagine this will be a prime topic during that discussion. arthel b2 david, thank you. eric b1 will long road to recovery continues in lake charles louisiana. that is where the present was earlier this afternoon. he met there with local officials and first responders. that city is one of the hardest hit areas by the hurricane and as we said laura was stronger than katrina and his left a large swath of devastation and destruction that you see there. casey siegel is alive and lake
2:13 pm
charles were a basic service like water and electricity will remain out. casey. reporter: yeah, eric, the city is about 800004 population so it's a pretty big city. i've got to say when you drive in and drive on the roads you see 360 degrees all around you and there is destruction everywhere. look at this finance office right here. this window totally blown out of the front and all the desks and computers and the chairs blown around the roof is completely gone. if you follow me this way, we talk about the power outages, about half a million people across the state of louisiana are without power. we understand it could take weeks in some areas for it to be restored. if you look right back there you get a sense of what a wonder to 50 mile-per-hour winds will do and that is a transformer on top of a utility poll and if you go all the way down you can see that the wood there is just
2:14 pm
snapped like a twig right there at the base. that is how strong the winds were when this came ashore. about 50 miles south of us along the coast, not just wind damage but a lot of water damage as well because of the storm surge. it was up to 15 feet in some places. you are looking now at fox news drone frontage of holly beach, louisiana. homes are underwater or simply wiped off their foundation. there is similar devastation in neighboring cameron, louisiana. that is the exact spot where laura made landfall and people around here tell us that it will take years before they fully recover from this. >> when you see those trees start to do 90-degree angle to the west, that's not good. i've jumped out of airplanes i thought that was scary but it is not. this is scary. reporter: right now there are
2:15 pm
about 6200 members of the louisiana national guard that are deployed all across the region and they are helping. there have been no high water rescues to speak of but they are doing a lot of different things like handing out water, mr easy for people who don't have food or running water. as you said eric, 220,000 people across louisiana do not have running water and about 60% of the city of lake charles does not have it but if there is one thing that we know of for sure, it is how resilient the people are here. no doubt about that. oddly, you can meet someone who has lost everything and they have a smile on their face. it is something they've been through before and they know how to rebuild and they will do it again. it will just take a whole lot of time. eric, back to you. eric: casey, it is the human spirit and it is faith and believing. no power means no air conditioning. give a heat index of over 100,
2:16 pm
72% divinity, sweltering, it's fairly difficult. reporter: yeah, pretty miserable. eric: casey, thank you. arthel: eric, kenosha, wisconsin is still in the headlines almost a week after the shooting of jacob blake, 29 -year-old blake in the back seven times by police. we are taking a live look there at the kenosha, wisconsin county courthouse where his sister is speaking again to the audience as the family is holding a peaceful rally today they are in kenosha, wisconsin. it's an effort to keep his story, the story of her brother jacob blake, in the headlines and we will continue to follow this protest here or this march as they marched through the streets of kenosha county. it's a rough day today. back inmi a moment. an army fo is always at the ready. so when they got a little surprise...

2:22 pm
jacob blake who spoke just a little bit ago. the kenosha police meanwhile here is releasing what they called a detailed account of when the police confronted jacob blake last sunday. according to them he refused to cooperate with officers and forcefully fought them as they tried to arrest him. union claims blake one officer and headlock and continue to resist even after he was tased by two separate officers. we don't see any of that on this cell phone video of the shooting though and blake does appear to be holding something in his left hand as he comes around the front of the car and the union claims he's holding a knife and that he refused to drop it. a witness says they did not see a knife and blake's attorney claims he was never holding it and state investigators have not cleared that crucial detail. as you mentioned, there are now more than a thousand national guard troops here in kenosha, more on the way as they are hoping for another peaceful weekend after we have had three straight nights of calm here in kenosha. eric. eric: garrett, we hope it stays that way.
2:23 pm
thank you. arthel. arthel: the battle lines are being drawn in the 2020 race following the conventions joe biden is focusing on president trump response to the coronavirus. while, the president is highlighting a message of law and order blasting the democrats for policies he says are behind the sometimes violent protest erupting across america. white house and clinical reporter is here at real clear politics. what is more important to voters? containing coronavirus that infects all corners of the country or is it law and order? >> we will find out. i think it is interesting that a research survey that came out earlier last week showed that the fourth most important issue to voters that would determine how they would cast their vote in november was violence in cities. that was the fifth most important or the fourth most was coronavirus. i think this shows the breakdown of the race right now. it is not just down trump versus
2:24 pm
joe biden but donald trump versus the coronavirus and at this point in november will be a referendum on that pandemic. how could it not be? arthel: a picture is worth a thousand words they say so what pictures are worth votes, the biden campaign wearing masks and social distancing or the trump campaign mask lists sitting next to each other? >> i think we will find out. obviously, right now publicans have a bit of a boost in the polls that are very proud about after the convention and i would caution a lot of folks on the right there was a similar boost in 2008 after the rob again national convention and avidly barack obama ended up winning that election but i think the larger more interesting question here is you essentially have about begins an incumbent president making the argument that yes there is violence and looting and the street right now but will only get worse and if
2:25 pm
democrats are elected and that is a very interesting argument for the incumbent to make. i asked vice president on monday about this and he said that is the duty of democratic mayors and governors who are letting this get out of hand. that is where we are are at the right at this point. arthel: in this ten week full-court press, what can we expect from the trump playbook? what can we expect from the biden playbook? which might have the winning strategy? >> i think republicans have certainly gotten the attention of democrats with this law and order rhetoric it certainly, the polling shows republicans that is an encouraging development for them and the biden campaign so far has been one of empathy and reached out to the victims of police shootings but in fairness they really have not addressed much of the disorder in american's streets at this point. we do not hear a lot about that at the democratic national convention.
2:26 pm
yes, last week finally, biden said this type of writing was not the way to go about things but again you are going to see a republican continue to hammer him on this question in november even though it's occurring under their watch. arthel: phil, thank you very much. we appreciate your analysis. we will go back to orange, texas where president trump is holding a roundtable on the ground there post hurricane laura. president trump: i would ask that we would have the national guard they are in a very short period of time and that would be cleaned out in a matter of literally minutes and you have a safe portland. it is ridiculous that they go on like this. with kenosha it has been in very, very good shape from the moment they set foot in that area the sheriff has been great, police commissioner, police chief has been great and we have been working with all of them but the governor let us do what we had to do and we cleaned it out and we will see what happens
2:27 pm
and we will have to keep it going but we won't have any problem. >> i think yesterday you did comment on the killing of jacob blake and you said you did not like how it looked and i wonder if you could comment on the other shooting that took place in that community. you mentioned the national guard going in and law enforcement but this was a young man, 17 -year-old facing murder charges for having shot two people. there are some folks who have said conservatives are holding up this young man and having done so within his rights to sort of self protect and i'm wondering if you read much about this case and if you have concerns about ordinary residents with guns in situations like this and what dangers that might present? president trump: that is under investigation right now and they will read be reporting back to meet within the next 24, 48 hours max and we will comment about it but that is right now, we are looking at it very, very carefully. what we are doing with it's a great state wisconsin, great state and they should not have to put up with what they went through and so the national
2:28 pm
guard has done a fantastic job with any other questions? >> why is dni no longer going to be updating the house and senate on the lection's security issues? president trump: i could have mark answer that question. >> i talked to director radcliffe and he is getting briefings so he will ultimately give full briefings in terms of not oral briefings but full intel briefings but it comes down to one simple thing, the last time they gave briefings a few members went out and talk to the press and disclose information that they should not have disclosed and so he will make sure that there is the proper tools for their oversight and make sure that they contain it in a way that is not jeopardized for the method of the intel that we get. president trump: director radcliffe brought information into the committee and the information leaked, whether it
2:29 pm
was shifty shift or someone else but they leaked the information before it got in and what is even worse they leak the wrong information and he got tired of it. he wants to do it in a different form because you have leaders on the committee and obviously leakers that are doing bad things. probably not even legal but we will look into that separately but they were leaking the information. you don't have that in texas and you would not allow that in texas, ken. i guarantee ken will not allow the leakers to be doing that. he wanted to make sure that it doesn't leak. >> mr. president, one question about laura. they issued a report indicating that climate change is at least, in part, responsible with increasing team ventures that leads to storms like laura and harvey and in an area where petrochemicals and the energy industry is so critical how do you balance that with at the same time attacking climate change so storms like this don't
2:30 pm
continue to ravage the gulf coast? president trump: you have tremendous storms in texas for many decades and for many centuries and that is the way it is. we handle them as they come for it all i can do is handle them as they, and that is what we're doing and no one has done a better job of it and we love the people of texas and governor, it's an honor to be with you. very much, ted. great job. thank you very much everybody. arthel: we were live in orange, texas following hurricane laura that also did some damage there in texas as well as louisiana and you just witnessed that was opened up to questions from reporters who were traveling with the president and he fielded some questions on a number of other items that are in the headlines. that is wrapping up. we will take a short break and we'll be right back.

arthel: bottom of the hour andns headlines. president trump is visiting parts of the gold coast ravaged by hurricane laura and currently meeting with first responders are now in orange, texas. the storm made landfall in louisiana on thursday as the most powerful hurricane to ever hit the stage. at least 15 people died and tens of thousands are without power. tributes are pouring into social media for actor chadwick bozeman, the star of black panther who died yesterday after a private year-long battle with colon cancer. we will have more on hisac and impact on hollywood coming up. dozens of universities are reporting growing clusters of coronavirus cases. the university of alabama says more than 1200 students have tested positive since school began this week and school officials are pointing the blame at students packing into bars and nightclubs.

eric: another long-term effects are still unclear but fatigue, cough, headache and joint pain and they sometimes can appear months after they were diagnosed. sometimes the symptoms are even more severe than that in some patients suffering from deadly blood clots or organ damage and were told even young people have been known to suffer strokes related to being second. the long-term impact of covid-19 we are joined by doctor paul, director of the vaccine education center at the children's hospital of philadelphia. he was behind the rotavirus vaccine so let's talk vaccines. welcome. >> thank you, eric. eric: the damas, some people get coronavirus and they're like you don't even know you have it but other people the damage can remain for months and even longer so the not like getting over the flu or do we know why it does such damage to so many organs and has such an impact?

those proteins essentially they do harm to your own body. the virus induces your immune system to hurt you. that is one of the many reasons it's so heinous. eric: do we know of any other virus that does that same thing? has it been this before? >> certainly the virus can do immune responses that do her too but nothing like this. we have never seen anything like this. this is typically what is thought to be a respiratory virus meaning it's bred by small droplets and the way the virus is constructed it should have been very susceptible to heat and humidity yet it is still rages during the summer months. it does a number of things that i know of no other virus does. plus, i'm a pediatrician so we see it in a hospital, children's hospitals and philadelphia and children who have this multi inflammatory systemic disease and i know of no virus that does that. it's a bat coronavirus that is

infesting the human population and has changed and no one would have predicted and there should be more surprises ahead. eric: finally, what do you expect in terms of vaccines? we are told may be later this year or next year and there was a test on something called xo soames given the six people in a trial out of cedars-sinai in los angeles and that was successful and there are several vaccines now in development. what is your gut on when we could finally see one? >> eight vaccines that are now in phase three trials, large placebo-controlled trials with tens of thousands of people who get the vaccine or don't get the vaccine but probably by the beginning of next year we should have a very good idea of whether it works, how effective it works or in the short term how long it works and whether it is safe when tested and tens of thousands of people. i'm optimistic we can have a vaccine and i think that accommodation with the perform the hygienic measures should be able to ultimately wrestle this

justice in the wake of jacob legs shooting in their home state. fox sports nba analyst bruce. >> when the milwaukee fox boycotted the other day they were on the phone in the locker room with the attorney general and lieutenant governor of wisconsin. the owners set that up. the players understand that a lot of these owners have relationship with donald trump and our friends with donald trump and they have the connections to the lawmakers and the politicians and the police commissioners and chiefs where they can get things accomplish accomplished. reporter: president trump was critical of the nba postponing their games and said the nba was acting like a political organization and that is not a good thing for sports or our country. nba announced games will resume today after making plans of players and team reps but it extends far beyond the court. they included establishing a social justice coalition with representative players and coaches to focus on a broad range of issues including both
2:46 pm
voting and committal justice reform. they're working to convert franchise owned arena properties into voting locations for the 2020 general election and working as network partners to create advertising slots in each playoff game to promote greater civic engagement and local and national elections. wnba and mlb games were also proposing this week as the athletes pushed for social justice and as of now all of those leagues are resuming their games. arthel. arthel: christina coleman, thank you eric. eric: for more on this, let's bring in eric mitchell, president and ceo of sports management agency and a sports analyst professional athlete manager so eric, you know about the business side of this but do you think that professional athletes should get in the political arena to infect social justice or should they just stick to what they are known for in due? >> great question. i think the players have a right to do this because that is what
2:47 pm
is great about america. do i think the players, the league for anything around that can solve this overnight? absolutely not. it's not fair to ask the nba or any of our professional athletes to solve america's biggest problems but we have people who we elect to do that and they have friends who obviously, handle a lot of money behind closed doors but that is what makes our country great despite all the despair and agreement if we can the down and have civil conversations just like these players are doing it is what makes our country great so that is what they are doing. they are voicing their opinions about something they are seen in doing and now let's add a caveat to that that what came out of this meeting on wednesday was only 30% of nba players are even registered to vote so clearly we need to get everybody on the same page but if you will be social justice warriors everybody needs to do it and if you tell me to vote you should be registered to vote to. eric: yeah, if you want to be a role model and a role model on the court or the field and you want to get involved uncertainly.
2:48 pm
let's listen to some views of what they say. >> despite the overwhelming please we are asking that our focus today should not be on basketball. >> we feel that with all the recent events that have happened in our country, not only this year, not only the past year, but for the past hundreds of years we decided that it's time to take a stand. >> people still don't care and for this to continue to happen this is just so just the hate and people start. eric: how do the leagues in the business how do they deal with this and leave room for people to express their own feelings and their own fears? >> great question you ask. we talk about it and we can talk about the milwaukee bucks because their owner came out and said that the milwaukee bucks organization would like to be a or shine a flashlight on social justice but here is the ironic thing, their co-owner is a
2:49 pm
billionaire and all he can come to the play with is shining a flashlight on it like he is some racial social justice flashlight warrior. this is the problem where the players did their protest because they want the owners to do more and they know they have connections and a lot of them don't but not everyone is lebron james who by the way, was the first one to get up and leave and take most of the team with him when he said we are done playing. that all changed when they backed out and sorted talking about the business side of this sport costing over $2 billion in losses if they were to walk away and that is why they are still here and they have an ultimate in the bubble where they can use this platform that they have the attention of the world, no matter if the ratings are down they do have everyone's attention so they are doing good and using their platform and it took the collective of the entire league to do this and those players that sat down and did outreach to a lot of people and we saw lebron james reach out to barack obama and we seen them reach out to other folks
2:50 pm
and this is what makes this league and they all come together to figure out but keep in mind the nba is not known for lobbying on a national level. over $3 million was spent in 2019 of the nhl, nfl and mlb and they are spending money where the nba has less than $5000 in 2019 on it. eric: they are in the spotlight on the court and will be in the spotlight off the field two. eric mitchell, good to see appeared thank think hubert will be back in a moment with more news. to be more sustainable for a big company. we were one of the first stations to pilot a fleet of zero emissions electric vehicles. the amazon vans have a decal that says, "shipment zero." we're striving to deliver a package with zero emissions in to the air.
