has done that before he can do it again. charles: we will leave it there. thank you all very much. thank you for watching every night at 6:00 p.m.. if you can't see the show you don't want to miss -- here's the man himself, lou dobbs. lou: good evening everybody, i'm lou dobbs. donald trump today trying to reassure an anxious electorate in the wake of the horrific violence against his country's law enforcement officers. trump telling his supporters in virginia beach that unlike president obama or hillary clinton he will strongly defend those who defend us. >> i am the law and order candidate. [applause] hillary clinton on the other hand is weak, ineffective and as proven by her recent e-mail

scandal, which was an embarrassment not only to her but to the entire nation as a whole, she is either a liar or grossly incompetent. one or the other, very simple. [applause] personally it's probably both. lou: that's a sentiment by new jersey governor chris christie today. he was on the campaign trail with trump seemingly auditioning for a new role. >> we need once again to have a president who puts the safety and security of our citizens first and does not blink or hesitate to take the strong action that needs to be taken to make sure that those at home and around the world know that lawlessness will not be tolerated from anyone no matter how powerful or lack of power that those people may have. lawton ordered needs to be the first priority once again in our

country. lou: the "washington post" reported that donald trump will choose his running mate over the next three or four days. donald trump for his partisans saying one way or the other. here with us tonight former reagan white house political director ed rollins pulitzer prize-winning columnist for the "new york post," michael goodwin and also among our guest tonight from spokesperson katrina pierson on fund-raising, mr. thompson vice president law and order and the nominee's preparations for his big week in cleveland. the republican national convention beginning next week and only 119 days to wait until the presidential election. while we are counting 192 days until we have a new president. joining us tonight to take up a number of issues including a member of the house select committee on benghazi, congressman mike pompeo, a lot to talk about tonight including the dallas police department on edge following last thursday's

massacre. the dallas police chief today reveals he has received death threats. >> yes, me and my family received death threats. as a policing family in dallas and across the country there is a heightened sense of awareness around threats we receive. we have reported many of the names and other cities with headquarters and other types of things officers being shot and injured and shot and killed, so we are at a place where we are concerned for our safety. lou: what is driving the war on cops? former new york city mayor rudy giuliani says straightforwardly, it is the black lives matter movement. >> it's inherently racist because number one it divides us all lives matter had been the presidential candidate, governor of maryland made the statement that all lives matter, they

intimidated into changing it to black lives matter. all lives matter, white lives, black lives. they would be doing something about the vast majority of blacks that are killed in the country. lou: the other of the book the war on cops. heather: donald joins us tonight. she goes further saying the white house and president obama are to blame. mcdonald joins us later in the broadcast and we have good news for you courtesy of wall street this evening previous and the surging to a new all-time closing high showing the bull market remains well lively and well. we will have a full update. our top story tonight donald trump today coming out hard against hillary clinton at a campaign event in virginia beach. crooked hillary even got a new nickname. >> crooked hillary clinton is the secretary of the status quo and wherever hillary clinton goes, corruption and scandal

follow pre-just look at her life. [applause] our country needs change and she will never give us change, never, ever ever. lou: secretary of the status quo joining us former reagan white house political director republican strategist, great american tax strategist ed rollins pulitzer prize-winning columnist for the "new york post" michael goodman. both are "fox news" contributors and gentlemen let's start, let's do a focus group very quickly. michael, secretary of the status quo. does it have a ring? >> look at may have. i thought the best segment that you showed lou was the famous chris christie picking up and donald trump the candidate of strength, the candidate of law and order. i believe in this environment, that is a winning argument, it should be anyway because i think most people in the country now

are scared. i think they see what's happening with the islamic state in they see the bombings around the world, they see the attacks of, now you have really what is domestic discord at a level we have never seen from police to be attacked that way is unprecedented in our country in modern times. i think people are scared and i think donald trump today tried to be the candidate of strength in the storm. lou: as you know donald trump today said he is going to make certain people feel safe in their homes, safe in their communities. that is as michael suggested an appealing message, is it not? >> it is and reassuring to people across this country. how would you feel today if you are a police officer and had to make a stop after five cops were murdered in the police of chief is threatened. there's nothing to protect the citizens so my sense today is we basically don't support the law in order enforcers in this

country we will have a very sad state of affairs here. i lived in the 60s and a period in 1968 when 100 cities caught fire and blew up and the whole nine yards in which you had lacked panther movements all over the place who were shooting cops and i don't think we could go over go back again. the police have the responsibility to be careful but the end of the day we have to support them. they are the blue line between us and these bad guys. lou: there's a pretentiousness about the black lives matter movement in my opinion. there is a pretentiousness about the black panthers, the black militia. these are not issues for the african-american community to rise anywhere near what the country faced and what the black community, the african american community faced in 1968. this is a sham, almost in the ideological game being played out for political purpose but it is so shallow that it does as i

say michael looked for tensions to man their part. >> well, it reminds me somewhat of a occupy wall street movement and again these are the ones who are camping out in the streets and waving their iphone since announcing capitalism that steve jobs made in his by himself but i think what scares me and troubles me is that it's the political class the way it's reacting to it. lou: like sycophants rolling over and being sick weak u.s.? >> that's what barack obama said about occupied wall street. lou: it's the same people that are going to be in the 20th century profiles of courage. there are lesser likes joining them and. >> when you take the mainstream media, "the new york times" has headlines that says villains and victims. lou: is that not the most

infuriating article cracks. >> those policemen were murdered. they were there to protect the black lives matter protesters and they protected the people. they were not disrupting them. they were protecting their right to free speech and the idea that they are basically felons is just absurd. lou: first of all they are not felons, not in any way and no psychobabble bull from "the new york times" tried to bring -- pretend it's anything reminiscent of what was once a great newspaper is going to convince anyone of any and elected me differently. i want to turn to this poll, 56% of voters and the editors at the "washington post" i know not, 56% of voters disagree with james comey's decision not to indict hillary clinton and 56% of those surveyed wanted her charged. ed? >> i think she deftly deserve to be charged. he made it very clear that she

violated statute says they are are presently comment i was surprised that his decision. i think at the end of the day he should have made a recommendation to be a turning general. lou: why didn't he? >> i have no idea. that's a role of the fbi. there's no question federal statutes in existence today top secret clearance in the white house she didn't abide by them. lou: does the word governments come to mind? >> i think to the number itself assuming that in some polls she has 50 or 51% of the vote that means some people think she should be indicted but also plan to vote for her. this to me -- lou: pres so do the. >> she could defend herself but that is going to haunt her. i agree with ed i think she should have been charged. she should be facing charges right now but even if she's not that event is going to haunt her

drought this campaign. lou: is one who has -- the courts for a quarter-century that this or that what hans a. clinton of one sort or the other i can tell you i've been utterly wrong because i thought whatever the scandal might have been what hans the clintons. it stays with them but i don't think it's. >> the simple reason they have always gotten away with it. 70% of the country does not think she is honest and normally that would be an absent disqualifier being president of united states but she still leading in the polls. lou: unbelievable in water road. donald trump has two follow here. >> i think what he did is the right way to go about it. lou: do you agree? >> his path to victory is to remind people what she did and how she is all a stunt and it will be more of the same. lou: ed rollins and michael goodwin, great to have you.

we are coming right back with much more. stay with us. donald trump's vice president decision could come as early as this week reader who will he choose? >> we will dream big and bold and daring things once more. once more we are going to go big, we are going to go gray. lou: trump has a lot of big decisions. monica crowley and mike gallagher join me next. and this stunt is the first of its kind. it's also one that will be remembered for the ages. we will show you the incredible high-flying record-breaking video up next. you don't want to miss a second. we are coming right back with that debut and much more. stay with us.

among those arrested one of the top leaders of the black lives matter movement. he got a six-figure salary with the city of baltimore and the side. more people arrested in detroit. they threatened to kill police officers. one of them and saying quote kill old white cops end quote. in chicago tonight hundreds of protesters as you see there are gathering for a third straight night of demonstrations, protests. protesters in chicago as in other cities escorted by law enforcement who are putting their lives in danger while helping keep the anti-police demonstrators safe. even in london police forced the shutdown of the center of the city because of a black lives matter protest. most of them chanting the words hands up, don't shoot repeating the lie repeated often by left-wing radicals who know

better but don't act it. "washington times" opinion editor monica crowley joins us tonight, host of "the mike gallagher show" in the salem radio network mike gallagher joins us. luther "fox news" contributors. good to have you with us. this is startling to watch what has happened in london as well as this country. it is reminiscent of a period period in the 60s in which since the very beginning we saw unrest in the cities. this is led by the black lives matter movement which is, which has been i guess validated by the president of united states. >> sn the difference between the 1960s and what we are seeing today seeing today is the 1960s movement were actually organic. what you're seeing now is this astroturf kind of stuff by groups like occupy wall street, black lives matter supported and funded by an ultimately getting

their money from george soros. this is a well orchestrated leftist attack. the present winks at it in a spent the last seven and half years encouraging this behavior the time and again he has sided against the police starting very early in his term when he said the cambridge police acted stupidly when there's a confrontation with a black or faster. >> if you don't see even an interruption in these protests after five dallas law enforcement officers are slaughtered, nothing will stop them. honest to goodness i really thought that one of the horrific turn of events would be after thursday night in dallas or at the very least these guys going to have to rethink what they are doing in britain things the police officers, these projectiles at them, dropping concrete locks on one of them in st. paul shattering his vertebrae. that's not something that makes the front page of "the new york times." it's unthinkable that this is

continue to happen. lou: "the new york times" had the audacity to draw in its headline this psychononsense of villain as well as victim talking about law enforcement and this country and by amateur politician major newspaper that once had some reputation journalistically. it has shattered that. >> because we are in a world where the left is driven totally by ideology. it's not about adopting policies that actually work. sureley driven by ideology. they don't give a whit about the ramifications here. this is about remaking the country and the person that sits at the top of this agenda is barack obama he's been driving it for the last eight years. lou: where is he driving us to, mike? there's an objective here. >> there can be an objective to interrupting the status quo. there is a political solution to this. november is but on the way and

you know i have pointed out for a year that trump constantly acknowledge his law enforcement in every speech he gives way before all this stuff happen. this is a guy who was right to describe himself as a long order candidates so if americans are fed up with the trajectory of the country well there is a change they can make in november and a choice they can make. lou: and a nuke whole, talking about this with ed rollins and michael good one to 26% of americans say effectively james comey didn't have the guts. >> that's because the american people know corruption when they see it. lou: i don't think any of us can miss it anymore. >> the same number, 50% say it will have no effect on their vote either way which means the lack of integrity and the lack of on the street in hillary clinton has been baked into the public sentiment. hispanic bears polling data

that's came out that said trump is right now faring better with hispanics than romney or mccain. this is something people don't -- lou: paul ryan is continue to issue all of these mumbo-jumbo mush mouth nonsense to what and? >> we have no patience for the republican leadership that continues to embrace donald trump. they don't have to like him but he is the candidate and if you have nothing nice to say is that bit. >> it's either mr. trump or mrs. clinton, one or the other. lou: it seems like hardly a choice at all. thank you very much. breaking news now, tragedy at the marion county courthouse in southwestern michigan. the sheriff department tonight says an inmate being moved from a holding cell disarmed an officer and shot and killed two bailiffs. other bailiffs eventually shot and killed the inmate but only

after he had shot four people, killing two of them. be sure to vote in our poll tonight. our question is should president obama disavow and rebuke black lives matter and all left-wing anti-law enforcement activists? cast your vote on twitter @lou dobbs. follow me on twitter @lou dobbs like me on facebook instagram @lou dobbs tonight. links to everything @lou dobbs.com. here's where i say roll the video. a breathtaking stunt taking place on the california -- look at this. it's insane stunt pilot flies under a guy walking a tightrope and another doing of backflip on a motorcycle. i mean who would even dream this up? wow. the daredevils made it look easy but it's hard to imagine we will ever see that stunt duplicated or anyone even come close.

what an amazing stunt. up next, for weeks now speaker paul ryan has been stoking division with the republican party. now, he is starting to talk a little bit about unity but he still can't, well there are certain words he just can't say. speaker ryan is the subject of my commentary and i can say all of the words and will, next. stay with us.

maxwell a few thoughts now as we approach the republican national convention and that irritating noise that seems to grow louder as we head into next week. that noise, that noise is speaker paul ryan i'm. sure squawking about his agenda. yes, he has an agenda. it's not that of the party or it is his own agenda. he is working hard to promote not the convention but h and now he has scheduled himself to deliver a speech at the convention.

and i know, you are passionately interested in whether man who has been speaker from host nine months now has to say. a man who joined amnesty and open borders advocate luis gutierrez and the national campaign for the chamber of commerce, driving the solution to our illegal immigration crisis and he supports free trade at any cost as well, man who has moved three whole bills into law over his 17 year career. that is so impressive, don't you think? according to one of his very top page the speaker is actually writing what will be an entire hole ten-minute address. he is writing bad all by himself. i'm not sure whether that 10 minutes will rank up there with the gettysburg address, jfk's and not grow or fdr's fireside chat. in that 10 minutes of pure political melodrama and electricity we can be sure to

ryan will call on conservatives to unite around republican candidates saying quote i want to talk about our ideas, our solutions, how our party should unite around our common principles and how we apply those principles to problems. that's a little obvious, a little formulaic but all right ryan at least least is talking about unity even if it -- he can't bring himself to utter two words, donald trump or another for words, make america great again. just two more after that, america first, but to date he's been far more divisive than his words and actions though ryan has spent more of his breath slamming the republican nominee the one chosen by record number of republican voters. all the while ryan pushing his own certainly irrelevant agenda instead of working to unify the party behind trump and trump's

agenda that shared by millions and millions of voters. ryan is proving himself to be nothing more than an eager tool of the establishment for the big donors like paul singer or charles coke or the most powerful lobby in d.c., the chamber of commerce and that appears to be something of a disappointment for some voters in wisconsin's first congressional district. in fact day polls touted by his party shows the speaker support his home district by 43%. in my opinion speaker ryan has become something of a tiresome tremendous embarrassment for the republican party. that's just my opinion. ryan is playing duke to power and fool for all this country to witness. ryan has made himself a sad spectacle but we can all take a little comfort that he won't stop the celebratory g.o.p. convention for more than 10 minutes. yes, it could have been far

worse. now our quotation of the evening on pride and delusion from kristin goldman ollman and consequences. i have a few things to say about consequences as well saying self-aggrandizement and for power the maelstrom of baser instincts-disfigured people. we don't have to look hina mask. at least we see what we see. we we are coming right back. donald trump promises to restore law and order in his fight to make americans safe again. he is reminding voters he is the only one who can. >> hillary clinton on the other hand is weak, ineffective, pandering or grossly incompetent. >> trump campaign spesperson katrina pierson joins me next. and this drone is invading the

home of one of the oceans deadliest creatures. we will show you how it goes next, right after this quick messages. a lot more straight ahead. we will be right back. ♪ [announcer] is it a force of nature? or a sales event? the summer of audi sales event is here.

lou: joining us trump campaign national spokeswoman katrina pierson pearson. it's great to have you with us. we have a lot to cover in a lot going on the let's start with unity and the party is mr. trump satisfied with the way things are going with the help that

he's getting from the republican leadership? >> i think from the beginning lou mr. trump has been very committed and doing what is necessary to bring the party together and as we have seen for the most part the party has come together. there are couple of leaders out there who are a little hesitant to come on board but for the most part it's going really well. the folks on the ground are very excited. everyone is geared up and ready for the convention but overall it's -- lou: that convention is coming at us in a hurry. keynote speakers, do we have any inside information on who is going to be driving things? >> it's going to be a great convention. it's definitely not going to be your normal boring clinical convention. donald trump brought in some really great people to put this together. we are going to release the list of speakers operably within the next day or so but we are tightlipped until that comes out. lou: i know you would be willing

to tell me who he is leaning towards and his choice to be on the ticket with him. chris christie, jeff sessions, newt gingrich, mike pence, you know which one? >> you know he has always said that he wants to be unpredictable but he has given fair warning, he's not going to choose someone that they normal political would choose someone that can quote unquote kerry a fate. he's going to pick someone that is best suited to carry the message and more and partly get the job done. i don't even know who he is considering. it's something he has kept a very close to the chest. he has been meeting with several people. lou: he has probably done as a people like me will be disappointed profoundly. let me turn if i made to the polls here running about 4.5 points on realclearpolitics average, behind hillary clinton.

what do you think it's going to take to bring that to narrow that margin? >> i think after the convention, that's when the rubber meets the road. everyone in america will no exactly where each candidate stands without the media filter and really be able to compare and contrast the two candidates where they are on policies that impact their daily lives. as mr. trump mentioned today you have hillary clinton was the secretary of the status quo and people really understand -- lou: i've got to say secretary of the status quo. he's had come up with some pretty good branding for his opponent but that's right up there. >> that was is going to stick that it should stick because she is the poster child of what is wrong in washington d.c., politics at its worst with you can with a straight face lie to the american public and lie to the families of people who have lost their lives under your

command and just lie a number of times and pretend everything is okay and it's not your fault. at the end of the day you get away with it so she's the poster child of the status quo and i think people realize that it after the convention we will have the first debate and that is when those policies are going to be contrasted and that is when donald trump will win this election. lou: you are first from katrina pierson right here. we thank you for being with this katrina. size good to have you with us. a few weeks ago we showed you a playful bulldog. look at this. fighting a drone. we have an update in the war on drones. here we go, under the sea watches the great white shark comes up from the depths of the ocean near australia to attack this drone relaunched the shark realizes the underwater drone isn't food quickly swims away but we have got some awfully good video of it, don't you

think? up next donald trump says we need to clean up the federal government urgently. >> we need to clean up the corruption in government and hillary clinton will never be able to do it. she is incompetent and has proven time and time again that she doesn't have what it takes, doesn't have it. lou: one of the most respected members of the house of representatives congressman mike pompeo joins us here next. stay with us, a lot to cover.

comey laid out the case for criminal misconduct and somehow found an escape hatch on this in idea and 10. this was a long-term intentional plan to keep this information in the hands of the american people and she knows classified information. it seems to me was criminal misconduct i think the american people see that too. lou: only due to this point had been respected by most republicans over the most ardent conservatives and conservatives leaders out there had great faith in comey. he did exactly opposite of what they expected. how about you? >> yeah i agree. i worked with director comey and i've watched what he's done over the years. he's unremarkable work keeping us safe from prosecuting islamic terrorists around the world so i was surprised by the fact that he found which were consistent with criminal misconduct and unexplainable to me. lou: and the issue of clinton, you are letting go of this talking about perjury on the

part of clinton, lying. the director of the fbi acknowledge his she lied. goodlatte and chaffetz asking investigation, a formal request, bob goodlatte the chairman of the judiciary committee. are your committees going to follow suit with letters or is this the formal request that james comey was asking for from congress to investigate? >> i haven't seen the letter but i think it is. i can assure you that the benghazi committee will continue to its work. we had 100 plus interviews and by my accounts he was in front of our committee for about 11 hours, i cannot one perjury in our. and 10 surely false statements which meet the standard for criminal prosecution. we will present what we believe accounts for that and i'm hopeful director comey and the justice department will take one more good look into and do the right thing this time. lou: .org last week met with 200

members of the conference and you were amongst those. your reaction? we have heard different stories come out of that. what was your sense of the meeting and how well it went or how poorly? >> i was behind the intel committee that morning but i will assure you of this members walked out of there with a deep understanding that he was going to be our nominee and we all needed to make sure that hillary clinton didn't get close to classified information. i think you'll see that in cleveland and the weeks and months between now and november. there's going to be a gathering storm against hillary clinton supporting our candidate for president. lou: you are saying that you believe hillary clinton will not be given by clapper, by brendan of the cia, the ndi, all that these folks an intelligence briefing based on what she has done? >> i can't imagine how you could walk in front of them knowing that you have the responsibility

to protect your cia officers or defense department soldiers sailors and airmen and hand over a woman who is behaving the way she is classified information that puts their lives in the lives of other americans at risk. these are serious intelligent people that understand those arrests that conducted counterintelligence investigations of i'm confident they will see that too. lou: and as we listen to speaker ryan and i have made a couple of comments on this broadcast about his reluctance to support your party's nominee, where is your leadership and what is taking them so long to come to their senses and apply good judgment and support the nominee? why would they deny the party a victory to retake the white house? >> i don't think the party leadership is going to do that. there are some things that you would disagree with mr. trump onto. every candidate i have supported i will ask them to vote for me who disagreed with me. when the time comes i am

confident that everyone will gather around him. lou: i have to ask you does he believe the agenda of his rises to the level of the agenda of the party's nominee who has received the record number of votes in the g.o.p. primary? >> i think he does and i've been doing this for five years. we have put forward our agenda and i think the speaker is but for the conservative agenda. most respects it's consistent. lou: do you really think you should be competing with the party's nominee and the national convention? >> we should be compatible and working side-by-side and making sure hillary were a camp clinton doesn't step that inside the white house again. lou: congressman mike tom pao it's always great happy with us. appreciate your insight as always. let's turn to something pleasant on wall street. stocks today close higher, way higher the dow up 80 points in the s&p up seven points. it doesn't sell like much, doesn't does it?
