Pastor Robert Jeffress shared a message of hope with victims hit hard by Hurricane Laura, now a tropical depression, after responding to the "historic speech" delivered by President Trump at the close of the Republican National Convention (RNC) Thursday night.

"Never before have we had two political parties paint such differing views for what they envision for America, but I believe for those Americans who want a country that's founded on faith and freedom and on law and order, they were excited by what they heard the president say tonight," he added.
