just another day of democracy seattle style. left-wing violence also carried out this weekend in other large democrat-run cities. insurrectionists rioting in portland. that's right, the law enforcement, federal law enforcement officers left just hike they said they would -- like they said they would. the protesters, well, not doing nearly so well. they continue to be violent, to loot, to vandalize, and everyone has forgotten what they are demonstrating about at moments of, well, quieter moments than these you see on your screen. thieves scurrying around the city of chicago. 21 people shot at a cookout in washington d.c. they killed one person. and new york city, its 1,000th shooting victim of this year. also tonight more of the deep state's lies and deceit revealed. documents showing how the fbi lied to the senate intelligence committee in 2018 about the reliability of the phony steele dossier. that's right, the one that the fbi used to launch their investigation of a presidential caught. but senator lindsey graham doesn't seem willing to question any senators about how that all came to be, who the fbi briefer was to the senate intel committee. he wants to ask, rather, publicly who it was and see what the fbi says, i guess. and president trump once again putting americans first. president trump fed up with the radical dems' tactics, signing executive orders this weekend to provide support and relief to 18 million americans out of jobs and who need help -- supplemental unemployment payments. student loan relief through december 31st, eviction protection for renters and homeowners and payroll tax holiday for those making under $100,000 through the end of the year. president trump's move met with the usual disdain and drivel of the radical dems and rinos, some of them at least in washington. house speaker nancy pelosi and rino senator ben sasse harmonizing their resistance of president trump. both called the president's orders, quote-unquote, unconstitutional slop. president trump today responded on twitter, tweeting this in part: rino ben sasse has gone rogue again. this foolishness play ares right into the hands of the radical left dems. and the president reminding sasse that it was he who came to the president seeking his support for his election. well, joining us tonight is the vice president of the united states, mike pence. and, mr. vice president, it is always great to see you -- >> good to be back, lou.. lou: and to have the opportunity to talk with you. >> thank you. lou: may i start, first of all, with the executive orders because that as so important to millions of americans who would have no help whatsoever from the radical dems. four weeks of pure stonewalling, slow rolling and indifference to the needs of americans who are hurting. your thoughts. >> well, look, what the american people saw this weekend was once again the decisive leadership of president donald trump. after literally weeks of refusing to come to the table, refusing to negotiate in good faith when we're seeing our economy beginning to reopen, last friday we saw 1.8 million jobs added to this economy, but there's still many millions of americans that needed payroll tax relief, that needed an extension of unemployment insurance and yet the democrats were willing to let those very things fall by the wayside as they continue to advance their big government, massive spending bill that speaker pelosi passed many weeks ago on capitol hill. but the president said enough is enough. he took executive action. we were deferring a payroll tax through the end of this year, that's money in the pocket for working americans -- lou: right. >> but then he also used his authority as president to extend unemployment insurance benefits in a fiscally responsible way. we're asking states to pay for 25%, but it's $400 a week more the people who haven't found work yet in this economy can have that plus help for young people going to school, student loan relief, eviction relief for working americans. this is a president that said while the radical left continues to dominate the democratic party, the democrats continue to play games on capitol hill, president trump's going to take action to put america first. lou: in taking action, as you say, to put americans first, how soon will it be that they will be getting actual relief? how soon will people have money? how soon will they have help in deferring or perhaps giving them time to catch up on payments that would make evictions and foreclosures a moot point? >> well, the president's executive action about evictions, about student loans takes effect the moment that he signs it. but today on our weekly conference call with all the nation's governors, we assured them9 that the unemployment insurance benefits should be being implemented immediately. we also told them that they can use roughly $80 billion in cares act funding that hasn't been drawn down by states yet to pay their portion of the extension of unemployment insurance. look, a lot of americans are hurting despite the fact that we had lost 22 million jobs at the height of this pandemic and as of last week have added 9 million americans back to the rolls of -- lou: that's true. >> -- working people in this country, there's many more americans that need help. the president said we're not going to wait on nancy pelosi and chuck schumer anymore, we're going to extend unemployment insurance benefits. the department of labor and treasury are a working to make that a reality. and we're working to put into effect that effort to defer payroll tax collections to the end of this year. again, this is just another example of where president trump said, look, if you're not willing to come to the table and negotiate in a way that puts americans first, we're going to take actions so that americans cannot be used as pawns in the democrats' effort to push another massive big government spending bill. lou: you know, mr. vice president, we're looking at cities that are erupting in violence, continue to erupt in many cases whether it's chicago or portland, and some of those states have got democrat city councils as well as mayors and democratic governors. and i was just thinking as you were talking, do you hear from any of those democrat governors saying, no, no, mr. vice president, tell mr. trump that we don't want the money for our citizens? we don't want immediate help for the people who are hurting? do you ever hear them say, no, please, just follow along with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, and we can catch up with you maybe in september or october? >> lou -- [laughter] lou, that'd be a first. i mean, you know, i used to be a governor, and i respect the role that governors play and have played especially throughout this coronavirus pandemic. and i, what i consistently hear from governors is how grateful they are that this president has literally spared no expense. we summered -- surged billions of dollars to our states, to our wonderful health care workers that we've provided the kind of resources and medicines and ppe and testing to meet this moment. and what i heard today on that conference call with governors is that they want to see the congress act. that, look, president trump's made it clear in addition to the exestive action that he's taken -- executive action that he's taken, we'd like to send another round of checks to the american people. remember it was $1200 per american, $3400 per family? the president's very open to doing just that. we want to get more support for businesses, the paycheck protection program and other programs that have allowed businesses to weather the storm of the coronavirus. and we want to get our schools open, lou. and that's why the president called for $105 billion to make it possible to open up our k-12 schools, our universities. and we said to the governors today it's time for them to pick up the phone and call nancy pelosi and call chuck schumer and tell 'em to get off the dime, get back to the table, and let's get a deal done. but, you know, not the kind of deal that speaker pelosi passed earlier in the house of representatives. i heard the other day that that, the bill that they passed actually mentions marijuana more than it mentions jobs. and the american people don't want some pork barrel bill coming out of the congress when we've got real needs for working families, we have got needs to get our schools open. and we're literally calling on every governor -- especially democrat governors across the country -- to call on members of their party in congress to say let's get to the table, let's get a deal done that puts americans first. lou: well, we're hearing words that some of these governors are deeply disappointed that schumer and pelosi haven't been able to get them a bailout for their, basically, bankrupt systems. this administration is not going to provide that kind of relief, are you? if there is to be a later negotiation? >> look, the president's made it very clear there's going to be no bailout for badly-run states in this country. i mean, the truth is that many statements run by democrats -- states run by democrats for decades have run up massive deficits, massive debt. and i heard the other day that nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are calling for a trillion dollars to our states when, in fact, literally -- you know, we've got on the table, you know, more than $100 billion for education, another $100 billion to help our states. but president trump has made it clear we're not going to let liberal democrats and the radical left use the coronavirus pandemic to bail out states that have been running deficits and debt for decades. we're going to stand up for taxpayers, stand up for fiscal responsibility even while we get resources to states at the point of the need. one of the points that the treasury secretary made today to the governors was we've literally been calling governors to ask specifically what they need to implement a back-to-school plan. and the president's request for $105 billion is specifically tailored to the actual per-student cost of returning to school in a safe and responsible way. but no bailouts, lou. you know, this isn't a blank check for badly-run states and especially those badly-run states run by liberal democrats for decades. lou: up next, we'll hear more from vice president pence on the importance of reopening our country's schools. and please preorder my new book, "the trump century: how our president changed the course of history forever." you can do so at thetrumpcentury.com, amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com. as we continue to want to irritate liberals as much as we can. we'll be right back, stay with us. looks like they picked the wrong getaway driver. they're going to be paying for this for a long time. they will, but with accident forgiveness allstate won't raise your rates just because of an accident, even if it's your fault. cut! sonny. was that good?

because whether it's anthony a few, you name it -- fauci, you name it, people from the left, medical experts are saying we need to open those schools. there is a fear of a lost generation here if we're going to continue this. what's your sense of the odds? >> lou, we've got to get our kids back to school. the experts left, right and center have all recognized that distance learning is no replacement for in the classroom, in-person learning. we don't want our kids to fall behind academically, but, you know, what the american people also recognize is kids with special needs, kids with learning disabilities, they get those services at schools. and tens of millions of american kids get food and nutritional supplement at school. and so it's far beyond academic e. there are real costs to america's kids, and that doesn't even take into account the costs on working families. you know, many governors, even some democrat governors are now beginning to announce that they support a return to back to school because they recognize that for an awful lot of americans if their kids can't go back to school, they can't go back to work. i heard a number the other day that only, that only 20% of single parents in america can telework. that means 80% of single parents that go back to work, have to go back to work, they've got to have their kids back in the school. that's why president trump from very early on has made it clear we've got to get our kids back. and just so everybody knows, the cdc issued a series of new, new guide posts a couple of weeks ago, but the first thing they issued was a paper about how it is in the public health interest of our kids to be back in school. so the cdc says for the health of our kids, we say for their academic health, for their future and for working families we've got to get our kids back to school. it's one more reason why the democrats on capitol hill need to come back to the table. we want to make sure our states have the resources as well as the guidance to safely reopen our schools. they can, we're going to continue to stand for it and fight for it on behalf of working families everywhere. lou: well, good for you and the american people desperately need the leadership of this administration to make this happen. this is -- do you have any impression of besides the fact t dick during bane is beginning to agree with you -- durbin is beginning to agree with you on a host of issues, it seems, at least informally e and chuck schumer and nancy pelosi are saying maybe they do want to talk now, do you think they're getting the idea that they have been running here for weeks a video of a elect trump/pence 20 20 campaigns. because when you see everything that they're doing -- trying to keep schools closed, letting violence run rampant in the cities that are so devastate by decades of democrat-run administrations in their municipalities -- the payoff is pretty ugly, pretty violent, and why would anyone in the world want a democrat in the white house? >> well -- [laughter] you know, the choice in this election's never been clearer, and the stakes have never been higher. in president donald trump, you have someone who's kept more promises that he made to the american people; rebuild our military, the revive the economy with less taxes, less regulation, fought for free and fair trade, appointed conservatives to our courts. but joe biden and the radical left and the party of chuck schumer or and nancy pelosi is all about taking the country all the way back in the opposite direction. more defense out cuts, $4 trillion in higher taxes, a $2 trillion green new deal, economic surrender to china. we heard this weekend from speaker pelosi, she actually said that china would prefer joe biden to win the upcoming election. and that's because no one's been tougher on china than president donald trump. and one issue after another, the american people are tired of the politics on capitol hill, playing politics in the midst of this pandemic, and i truly do believe that come november 3rd, we're going to win a great victory e when we win four more years for president donald trump. and i also believe, i also believe the american people see what a democrat majority in the house of representatives means, and i think we've got a fighting chance not only to reelect a republican senate, but to elect a new republican majority in the house of representatives and move our nation forward. lou: the attorney general over this weekend, you know, making the comment black lives matter protests, the violence that we're seeing in those democrat-run cities. i want to just run, if i may, a sound bite for the audience to show what the attorney general of the united states now says about black lives matter and the movement that they have unleashed on the country. it is not, it is not failing but any stretch of the imagination. it is having great influence at least within certain communities and certain age groups. let's roll that from attorney general william barr, please. >> they are a revolutionary group that is interested in some form of socialism, communism. they're essentially bolsheviks. their tactics are fascistic. it's a new form of urban guerrilla warfare. lou: and this president has weeks and weeks and weeks ago been saying we have to control this violence and establish haw and order in these democrat-run cities. the democrats aren't doing it, and the national left-wing media is excoriating the president because he wants to preserve the lives of citizens, protect communities and establish law and order. where do we go from here in -- this president has proved his leadership. this is a tough, tough issue, as you well know. where does the administration go with this now? >> president trump has no higher priority than the safety and security of the american people, lou. and i want to promise you that we're going to continue to surge resources and personnel into cities that are deeply impacted like chicago, seattle, portland and other communities where -- and new york city where literally the local leadership has utterly failed to quell the violence on the streets. now, that being said, all along the way remember when shortly after the murder of george floyd on the streets of minneapolis we saw the mayhem there? president trump call on the governor of minnesota to deploy the national guard. he said either you do it or we will. the governor of minnesota did that and brought, brought peace to the streets. he took a strong stand. we said we're not going to let, we're not going to let antifa and these radical, riotous protesters destroy the federal courthouse in portland, oregon. we deployed federal personnel there to protect the courthouse stand against the rioters. he made it clear to the governor of oregon that either she steps up to secure the steps of portland or we would, and the governor of oregon did that. they deployed local law enforcement, they deployed the state police. the rioting has continued, but we'll continue to call on local officials to do their job and, most importantly, let the courageous men in law enforcement at the state and local level in their communities do their job. make no mistake about it whether it's operation legend where we're deploying federal resources from justice department, we are not going to stand by while these rioters and these radical leftists tower apart our cities -- tear apart our cities. and this president's prepared to take action necessary if states and local communities fail to act to product their citizens. we will. lou: vice president mike pence, always great to sit down and talk with you and appreciate your time, sir. my thanks to vice president pence for his time. we'll be back with more "lou dobbs tonight." and my new book, preorder your copy now, or drive the left nuts.

>> well, it is. president trump is very much like president reagan in that sense. he believes in peace through strength. so we've had a historic rebuilding of the american military whiched had gone through years of sequestration and lacked readiness, and we hadn't supported our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines in the prior administration. he's rebuilt the military. he approaches diplomacy from a position of strength. like reagan, he hasn't gotten us involved in new wars. what he's doing is winding down wars. you take, for example, afghanistan. secretary esper just announced last week that we're going to be down to 5,000 troops by this fall. that's less than half the number of troops that were there when the president took office. we haven't had an american combat casualty since february 29th in a afghanistan. and so you're seeing the president make good on his campaign promises of bringing our troops home, our real heros, doing it in a way that brings peace to the various regions. and i couldn't be more proud to serve under him. lou: well, the nation is watching a president who is getting done what he has promised to do, and he is, as he has pointed out, only just begun. robert, it's great to have you with us. again, congratulations, and i think you had a splendid idea about the nobel peace prize. we thank you for being with us. appreciate it. senator ron johnson has a different story today about rino resistance to his obamagate investigation. we take that up and more with congressman doug collins, and my new book, "the trump century: how our president changed the course of history forever," available for preorder. get your copies before he makes any more history e this week. thethetrumpcentury.com, amazon., barnesandnoble.com. and, by the way, you can set off a few left-wingers in doing so as well. we'll be right back, stay with us. ♪ ♪ [ thunder rumbles ] [ engine rumbling ] [ beeping ] [ engine revs ] uh, you know there's a 30-minute limit, right?

we would not have the success we've had, and right now the world would be a worse place, i believe. no more feet dragging on this. lou: yeah. well, to your, a number of your points, one of which is this president in all that he has achieved, all that he has accomplished. and amongst those achievements is the state of this economy before the wuhan virus hit. what shape would this country be in he had not driven the strongest period of processer thety e in our country's -- prosperity in our cup's history before the china virus was unleashed upon us? you could look at this a number of ways. no president has done more than he has in the first three and a half years of presidency. it's remarkable. but the, it's also remarkable that the republican party has creatures like mitt romney who tried to block the mean thats around brees that -- subpoenas around burisma, now are trying to block subpoenas. we know that mitt romney is amongst those trying to block ron johnson's obamagate investigation, and no one is raising -- mitch mcconnell, the majority leader, the party leaders should be demanding more, much more from senator romney. >> we've got to have people willing to stand up. look, for those of us who stood up for this president, stood up the last 18 months and followed the lies of nadler, schiff, pelosi and schumer, all these folks who wanted to take down this president, who were trying to show that there was a corruption around every -- my question is now let's be, let's be honest with the american people. if there's a republican or anybody who wants to stand in the withdraw of this investigation, then let them go to a camera and say why don't they want to know about the corruption of hunter and joe biden, the corruption we saw with comey, strzok, mccabe and page, why would we not want to know more about what happened to general flynn when he was unmasked? joe biden himself as vice president. lou, it's time that we show the world that we're serious about this because people need to be held accountable for what they did. if they don't, they'll think they can get away with it, and that's not right. lou: well, it's, to see senator portman, senator lankford and romney, you know, trying to block this by all appearances, we also have this, we also have this statement from congress -- senator romney. if we could put this up, about his idea of blocking burisma investigations to gun with and subpoenas -- to begin with and subpoenas. he said: there's no question but the appearance of looking into burisma and hunter biden appears political, and i think, i think people are tired of these, these kind of political investigations, and i would hope that if there's something of significance that needs to be value waited, that it'll be done by perhaps the fbi or some other agency that's -- [laughter] oh, my gosh. it just goes on. i i mean, it's pitiful. it is absolutely pitiful, and he knows what he's doing. and he also has friends and associates, at least one, who was on the board of burisma, so he looks like he's conflicted and should have recused himself from any comment on it. >> look, no question. if this appears political but it's wrong and things were done wrong and possible laws were broken and things were circumvented especially with burisma and the investigation of the president, it's our duty to look into it. it's not about -- i mean, should we not look into jim comey and mccabe and the rest of them because it was political that they wanted to take out the president? no, it was wrong. they admitted under oath that they were full and accurate when they actually went and tell them they knew they weren't accurate. in fact, we also i saw just this past week now we know that christopher wray, who i've called for to resign because he is in a position where they've not been honest with the senate, the fbi's feet-dragging. if it's political and it's wrong, you've got to go after right and wrong. our country understands what's going on, but you can't be a afraid of appearance when you're actually going for the truth. my question is why respect we going for the truth. lou: yeah. and if senator romney's so concerned about political statements and the appearance of being political, he should perhaps examine everything he's said and done concerning president trump and his reactions to this president throughout. it has been acidic, petty and pure lu political on -- purely political on his part. and did he notice that there was a sham special counsel and an absolute contrived coup attempt on the president of the united states seeking to overthrow hum by the radical dems and some rinos, we might add? congressman doug collins, great to see you, thanks so much. does senator lindsey graham really want to get to the bottom of obamagate, or is he playing some sort of weird game that only he understands?

february 14th, 2018. graham's office tells us they have no comment on our research. but assured us his letter to christopher wray is in the works. yessiree. we also asked graham's office why he hasn't just walked over, asked the head of the senate intelligence committee just who it was from the fbi that breached the -- that briefed the committee. we'll be talking with judicial watch president tom fitton about this and much more righthththt looks like they picked the wrong getaway driver. they're going to be paying for this for a long time. they will, but with accident forgiveness allstate won't raise your rates just because of an accident, even if it's your fault. cut! sonny. was that good?

why not ask mitch mcconnell, the chief of staff? what is going on in the senate judiciary committee under this extraordinary person? >> well, it's been years since the justice department expect fbi have been thumbing their nose at congress expect senate, and there's been no pushback. and they've been made fools of, generally speaking, there in the senate. and if i were senator graham, i'd call, i'd call in the fbi director tomorrow to answer questions. he's responsible for this. and the idea that, you know, if there's any question, you've got evidence of a crime that took place, and that's an emergency. and so we should bring the fbi director in immediately. you have, you also have simultaneously senator johnson issuing a subpoena to the fbi director or crossfire hurricane. they're so obstruction -- the cover-up continues under director wray. it's a real problem that even his friends in the senate are having to subpoena him. lou: yeah. it's pretty stunning that wray is a friend of the fbi director. but i'm sure that he's actually worried a little because he saw that withering examination of sally yates by the senator from south carolina. i'm -- probably thinks he couldn't hold up to that pressure. tom, you get the last quick word here on where we're headed with obamaing gate. >> well, if he's going to give sally yates a pass and rod rosenstein, then the hearings are for naught. both knew or should have known those applications were fraudulent. they were obviously, on their face, fraudulent. maybe turn over the hearings to senator lee or senator cruz or someone like that. lou: right. yeah. well, there it is. and i had such high hopes for senator graham when he started going after the origins of obamagate. i thought it'd be hard-hitting, and i'm a little disappointed. tom fitton, thanks for being with us, head of judicial watch. that's it for us tonight. few thanks to vice president mike pence. and preorder "the trump century: how our president changed the course of history forever." please preorder at the trump century.com, amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com. thanks for being with us, good night from sussex. >> from the fox studios and new york city, this is maria bartiromo wall street. maria: happy weekend everyone, welcome to the program that analyzes the week that was an helps position you for the week ahead. i am maria bartiromo, welcome to our special program, coming up in a few moments my exclusive interview with donald j trump as we discussed joe biden, here is to the stimulus package and why the talks stalled as well as his crackdown on chinese companies like wall weight and tiktok, it's coming up in my exclusive interview with the president. let's take a look back at the moment to top newsmakers in this
