since we have cleaned it up it's getting less and less dirty every week. eric: the kids say, though, keep waking up early every week, not for the money but to support the community. it's worth $10 million, that's great. arthel: love that story. >> fox news alert, live pictures out of beirut where protestors are clashing with police outside of the lebanese parliament. welcome to america's news headquarters from washington i'm alicia acuña in denver. hi, leland. leland: hi, alicia, nice to be with you. leland vittert sunday night in beirut, demonstrators calling for the prime minister to resign. we had the massive explosion and the death count on explosion is 220 people have been killed so far, meaning that it is likely to rise as they continue to swift through the rubble there.

trey yngst in martyr square. good evening, trey. trey: leland, good afternoon, clashes erupting in beirut as demonstrators are calling for top-level officials to resign. they want answers to that explosion last tuesday that lost more than 150 people dead. you can see behind me clashes unfolding and raveling very quickly. demonstrators are throwing stones and fireworks to security forces. some of the forces are associated with the lebanese militant group hezbollah. that's only angering the protestors who are upset that hezbollah has become a part of their government. they say even the prime minister himself does not have control. today he was described to me as a puppet. they want to see accountability for that blast and just under a

mile from where we are standing near martyr square, there are rescue teams from around the world searching through the rubble. the governor of beirut say that more than 100 people are still missing and the death toll continues to up and you have people yelling across the city right now, many of them young. they are yelling revolution, they want to see an entirely different government here in lebanon. lebanese in severe economic crisis following the covid-19 outbreak. they have seen 100 children. today we talked to unicef that children are displaced following the blast. all of beirut downtown looks like from war zone, not from demonstrations but explosions and unremarkable scene unfolding because you see many demonstrators using pieces of the debris and you can see we

have injury, you go down here. [shouting] trey: stay with me, leland. stay with me. one of the demonstrators has been injured. yesterday we saw 250 people injured. many of them by live ammunitions. that is a major concern here and why you have red cross personnel waiting all along the side streets because we saw people getting shot, we were pinned down a number of times yesterday and we were watching the stone throwers be met with bullets. right now it's unraveling quickly because this is all connected to the politics of lebanon. this is not just about the economy, this is not just about the explosion. this is about the demonstrators are calling deep-seated corruption. we are going to walk up over here where the clashes are unfolding to give you a sense of how bad it can be here, we saw last night protestors storming

government buildings and actually taking them over. today two ministers have resigned, a number of members of parliament have resigned but protestors say it's not enough. lebanon has been through an extremely volatile history. they have seen civil war and conflict with neighboring israel and the people are resilient. they say they will be rebuild, they will regain the strength from before the blast, but they want international support to do so and that is why you see actors like -- president trump himself talking to -- >> leland: as we are watching the pictures which are incredible, you make an excellent point in terms of what these people want, corruption incompetence is way of life and as you point out prime minister is a puppet to hezbollah which is considered to be the real controllers, hezbollah in turn

controlled by iran. as you talk to people on the street, how worried are they that they overthrow this government just to have one put in that is even more loyal and more controlled by iran and by hezbollah? trey: well, that's the big, leland, is that they say that there aren't that many good options if they do overthrow this government. stay with me, leland. i want to give my crews some instruction. if they start to use live ammunition we need. excuse me. the concern here that they will not be able to find solid replacement for lebanese president or prime minister, we are just moving over here a little bit because you can see if you pan back over here, things are heating up a little bit right in front of the parliament building, leland.

leland: real quick, trey, we are glad that you're moving to an area of cover. you talked earlier about how it's difficult to tell the difference between quote, unquote the lebanese service securities and the hezbollah militia men, do you get the sense that hezbollah by extension, their leader hasan and iranians are really pulling the strings here? trey: look, when it comes to hezbollah, they are certainly pulling the strings. if you look at the graffiti in the wall -- excuse me. we are getting teargas here. if you look at the graffiti in martyr square, you see iran and statements against the regime all over because these people understand the connection. they know that iran has

tentacles as it was describe today me before in different part of the middle east all over and that's the concern that even if you bring in another leader to lebanon, that they will have some relation to iranian regime and some relation to hezbollah militant leader and then ultimately some relation to the ongoing proxy conflict in the region and that is something the lebanese people do not want to be associated with and that's why you see many chants and many slogans and many actions in martyr square in the past hours against hasan. there was a card board cutout of the leader of hezbollah. leland: hard to underscore how people are willing to risk their lives to speak against and something different that we would recognize in western world.

trey yngst, incredible times in lebanon, trey, about 8:00 o'clock, we understand, in the evening there. we will let crew get water and safety and scout out things while you're not under the lights right now. we will check back with you in about 20 or 25 minutes. thank you. alicia. alicia: as we continue to follow trey, we do have big news at home. the president side-stepping congress saturday providing coronavirus relief through four executive actions sparking reaction of lawmakers from both sides of the aisle and mark meredith live in bridgewater, new jersey with the specifics on that executive action, hi, mark. mark: hi, alicia, good afternoon to you, i also want to mention that president trump had a chance to speak earlier today with world leaders regarding what's going on in lebanon and he also called for calm as well as the investigation into what happened earlier this week. as you also mentioned, big news when it came to the economy as the president signed executive orders and directives yesterday because he said he could not get

a deal with congress on a comprehensive economic package. the president had a chance to sign this different, you know, directive at his golf club yesterday afternoon. while it's a bit complicated we can break it down, boil it down to what it'll do in the short-term essentially allowing people to not pay back student loans for right now. it also designates housing department to prevent foreclosures and evictions and this would al temporarily stop the collection of the payroll tax depending on how much money you make, then this is the big headline, the government will be providing $400 in additional unemployment insurance on top of state benefits but states will be required to contribute 25% or $100 out of the 400. president trump is able to do this by redirecting $44 billion out of fema's disaster relief budget so this is money that had been set aside and essentially saying this is where that part can come from. it'll be interesting to see how date wills decide whether or not they can comply with the $100

and while it is less than what people were getting just a few weeks ago, $600 a week. the president says this is a start. >> under this plan states will be able to offer greater benefits if they so choose and the federal government will cover 75% of the cost, so we are all set up. it's $400 per week. mark: but there's been a lot of talk how that may not be enough money. democrats say they cannot afford to pay 100-dollar, 25% already, we are waiting to see how states may want to reply to that. top democrats have been calling on president trump to come back to the negotiating table and complete a more comprehensive aid package. we heard from both democratic leaders today, house speaker nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, pelosi says americans won't be satisfied with the president's latest move. >> something is wrong. when you look at those executive orders, either the thing i can say is he doesn't know what he's talking about or something is

wrong there, something is very, very wrong there. so to characterize them as even accomplishing what they set out to do as something that is -- that would take the place of an agreement is just not so. mark: there's been a lot of talk about a possible lawsuit against the president's executive action which could, of course, delay any of that money from getting out but republicans are already saying if democrats were to do that, that would be a huge political mistake. we will see where things play out a little bit later on this week. president trump has a fundraiser here in new jersey this afternoon and then back to washington tonight, alicia. alicia: okay, mark meredith in new jersey, thanks, mark, leland. leland: more congressional reaction on fox news sunday on this program, nancy pelosi and treasury secretary, 2:00 p.m. eastern with chris wallace. we bring in trump campaign advisory, former ceo of cke restaurants, andy puzder and author of getting america back

to work. there's the book cover right there. andy, what do you think, do the $400 a week, ends up getting in the hands of americans' pockets makes a difference? >> it sure makes a difference. with the 600-dollar a week -- weekly federal bonus you had 70% of people receiving unemployment were getting more than when they were working. people will be generally be getting at least as much as they were getting when they worked and many will be getting more. leland: they definitely are in economic pain. comma i'm interested in, a lot of people who are still be getting more in their pocket to sit at home than they would at a job. washington post op-ed from earlier last month. it isn't complicated if you pay more people to stay home than to work, fewer people to work, that's understandable. taking a job becomes unaffordable. government check is welcomed

during the crisis but poor substitute for dignity and encouraging millions of people to remain unemployed and depending on government aid does them no favors in the long run. that might sound familiar because you wrote it. >> sounds very familiar. if i were with the president i would go with $200 a week. we end up with everybody about making what they would have made. $400 a week, the american families need the money. probably more than what they are making at their jobs. leland: basically what you're saying in your op-ed was well written back in july, you argue that all this does is make the recovery even slower. it seems as though that's what you're saying is going to happen this time around or happen anyway. >> it will happen. when you pay that amount, when you pay people more than they

would make more at the job, you are encouraging unemployment rate to stay up. what i didn't know when i wrote op-ed that i now people getting unemployment and fell down just in the month of july. people are anxious to get back to work. people are getting back in the workforce and we have tremendous job force. i probably would have done 200. leland: 200, 400. what is the problem doing this by executive order, has advantages and disadvantages. there are different things you can't do in executive orders and one is payroll tax, it's not a tax break, it's a essentially tax holiday with promise that if president trump is reelected he will forgive the tax on and on. in the end, it's going to be up

to businesses to pass through the savings, quote, unquote, the holiday onto workers who are getting it in paychecks every week. you're a businessman, how confident are you that every small business that's already hurting is going to do that with the risks that they're going to have to pay it back? >> well, you know, it isn't the business that's going to have to pay it back, it would be the employers that would have to pay it back. leland: old on, the holiday works for business and the employees as i understand it. >> right. leland: the employer will have to pay back their other half as well. >> yeah, the employer is already -- they've already on holiday. so what the president's executive order did it made a holiday for the employee as well, so if businesses have been storing the money up and not using it to grow and hire, that's their call. i'm sure a lot of businesses were happy to get the money and were able to keep their doors open and able to keep hiring.

leland: especially now that the ppp is expiring. i apologize the short interview and given what's going on with beirut and spending time with trey cut segments a little short. >> okay, thanks. alicia: now reaction from the other side let's bring in democratic minnesota congressman and member of the house financial services committee dean phillips, also member of the problem-solver's caucus. congressman, thank you so much for being here. the president seemed to have pulled the rug from underneath democrats on this, where do we go from here? congressman: alicia, it never should have gotten to this point. i speak for most americans democrats and republican that is we are appalled. we should do better than this. the culture of congress has got to be improved, listen to one another, trust one another and don't bring it to the point where the president -- that

said, unconstitutional. if consumption is the engine of our economy money in people's pockets is the fuel. core element of the republican platform, you cut taxes, more money in people's pockets. this is unprecedented right now. if there's some light to this it is that we all know that we've got to provide dollars to people to stimulate the economy. if we do not, it is going to cost us a whole lot more down the road. ailed al treasury secretary mnuchin said on fox news sunday today to chris wallace this about where he thinks things could be. take a listen. >> what we should be doing is let's pass legislation on 70 or 80% to have things that we agree on, so we can get money to the american public. schools need to reopen safely and i spoke to many governors, both democrats and republicans, they need this money, we have more than enough money to give it to them and the speaker is

holding that up. alicia: is there 70 or 80% to have package of where things stand right now that you think you could agree on that democrats could come to a table and find solutions to americans? congressman: i know as a fact that that's the case. i respect the perspective that we should agree on 80%. i'm leading a group of 4 democrats and 4 republicans to have the very conversations. it's very clear that with respect with one another, we do come to some conclusions. in fact, we did a very skinny bill, paycheck protection flexibility act with my colleague republican chip roy from texas and we got that done in the middle of covid. it is possible, but we have to remember, alicia, two of the most important elements to have bill is where there's divergence, unemployment benefits and state and local support because states do not have the ability in most cases to borrow money, cannot come up with the $100 that the president is proposing for 25% match for

$400 per week, by the way f -- if states do not get support, the only option for states is to raise taxes on every single american. so we do have choices here. there's a divergence of opinion. i really wish, though, that again we could come together and create a new culture in congress with leaders on both sides of the aisle who trust each other, respect one another and can do this. alicia: i want folks to see something that you have been vocal about because americans are frustrated with congress and so are you. on august 1st on twitter you posted a thread and i will put a couple of pieces of it but i want to talk about this, you wrote, quote, as america waits for sick people to negotiate long overdue relief package, i speak for most in congress when i say we are disgusted just like you. we who serve to solve problems find ourselves at mercy of a system that rewards and punishes cooperation. you talk about restoring faith in americans' minds. restoring the faith is what inspired many of us in the

freshman class to run for congress but when we are arrived in washington in 2019, there was no effort to unify us rather we were immediately intentionally subjected to systematic separation. what is there to be done? congressman: what is there to be done, alicia, it's actually the easiest solution. it is to inspire both democrats and republicans leadership and on both sides of the aisle to make core mission. i love my colleagues on both sides of the aisle. in freshman class we are working together, we see this differently. we may not have the most twitter followers and television most often but rest assure to all of my fellow americans, most of us ran for office to restore faith in the office. we have to do so. there are respectful members, unfortunately they don't get a lot of the spotlight but i ask people to keep the faith sincerely because we are separated on day one. this is part of a culture --

protestors care. last night's mayhem marked the 72nd straight night of unrest in the city. >> what you have seen is the violence has started before we got there, the violence continued when we were there and the violence has continued even though we've shifted resources. christina: also arson investigators are looking into reports that somebody threw explosive devices at protestors yesterday morning and trying to verify posts on social media that indicate two suspects were involved in the incident. again, the protests in portland and all over the country started after george floyd was killed in late may. a peaceful protest took place yesterday in utah. you see it right there. many civil rights and church leaders are calling on demonstrators to be peaceful and push a message of socioeconomic quality and economic justice and some continue to resort to violence as we are seeing night after night in portland, more arrests were made there last

night. alicia. alicia: christina coleman in los angeles, thank you. leland. leland: we bring in ken cucenelli. good to see you on sunday. they pulled back and now they attack the police, i guess sort of obliged the argument. >> if you look at narratives over time the blame game has changed as things went on. there was a point the portland mayor we caused the violence and it was quickly pointed out that the violence was going on for 5 weeks before we added officers from outside of portland and so they changed the narrative to everything was getting better until we showed up and then it was, you know, we are the -- of

course, when the police came in to police the area which the locals wouldn't, you've seen the last six nights in a row riots declared by the local police with no federal facilities involved. leland: not only that it seems like the weapons rioters are using more and more dangerous. somebody took a pool noodle and took nail to whack police officers. we heard change in narrative and the rhetoric from the mayor who as you pointed out was blaming the feds and then he said, by the way, when you try to burn down a building with officers in it, that's attempted murder and now saying this if they can get protestors off the street, take a listen. >> don't think for a moment that you are -- if you are participating in this activity that you are not being a prop for the reelection campaign of

donald trump because you absolutely are. you are creating the film that would be used nationally to help donald trump during campaign. if you don't want to be part of that, don't show up. leland: it would work with some protestors but as we drill into this, is there any intelligence on who is organizing the people and who is arming them and giving them blow torches and who is supporting them. it feels like every time the portland police arrest somebody, they are right back out on bail. >> well, there are several nonprofit bail funds that are automatically bailing people out so you are exactly right, leland about that. they have literally set up nonprofits, over a million dollars to do this and they are giving money to other bail funds to get them right back out and back on the street. it certainly raises other

questions, but there are literally hundreds of these investigations running nationwide between our homeland security investigators and the fbi who has the lead on many of these, all across the country, and those things take time, it takes time to develop information to do within the legal parameters and to come out with arrests and to develop the answers to exactly the kind of questions you're asking which are very important questions. leland: so you've got the riots in portland, sort the antigovernment antifa demonstrations there and you have the explosion in crime across america, we have some statistics of shootings in the past year, year to date, homicides, as a matter of fact, chicago up 55%, new york up 31%, my hometown of st. louis also made top 10 list. have y'all been able to find a root cause for this?

>> well, this is part and parcel, this is really more what the president is talking about. this is part and parcel of decades, decades of uninterrupted liberal policies implemented in cities. this is the result. it isn't the only. other results are dysfunctional families and so forth that you associate with criminal behavior, because that's what we are talking about here, is the statistics you're talking about aren't criminal rioters, that's just elevated gang violence and drug violence that we see and so forth that we see and that's escalating in those communities. exactly the ones that need police by the way, the most. leland: portland police chief says it's harder to fight crime when you're fighting people trying to burn down the local police precinct. ken cuccinnelli, appreciate your time as always. >> good to be with you.

leland: fox news alert, live pictures from outside of the parliament building in beirut, lebanon as protestors there are clashing with lebanese security services, mixed with hezbollah militia men, hezbollah, iranian group that controls much of lebanon. trey yingst on the ground and hopefully able to get to a safer location in the past 30 or so minutes, hi, trey. trey: leland, good afternoon, we have moved back a lot from the front to avoid clashes that were taking place directly outside of lebanon's main parliament building. we just saw a number of civil defense medics that were injured when teargas canisters were fired into the crowd. one person appeared to be losing consciousness who was taken

quickly to a waiting ambulance. the situation is deteriorating very quickly here, but that's not uncommon for beirut and not uncommon for lebanon as a whole. we have seen these sorts of demonstrations over the past six months. the lebanese people extremely upset with the economic situation, with a lot of what they say has to be with iranian influence in their country. now this explosion that happened earlier in the week has led to explosion of emotions here for people because they had to watch neighbors die, they had to watch their children get injured. we have spoken with dozens of people in the streets of beirut who are trying to clean up, 300,000 people are internally displaced, so on top of everything the lebanese people have had to deal with over the past year, they now have the aftermath of this tragedy to move forward from. we are just going to step up the street here. there's an ambulance coming by. i want to make sure we give it a

clear path. it's calmed down a little bit at the end of this street but on the other side of parliament still clashes with police. there's the growing concern that this could evolve into something much larger. protestors want to see some sort of change in government but so far they are not been able to push the government to that point. leland: good point in terms of what protestors have been wanting to do in the past 6 or so months in terms of changing the government there. hezbollah and iranians have a strangle hold on actually the real power inside of lebanon. the question would be this, do you get the feeling as you're watching the hezbollah militia move throughout beirut and the like that hezbollah and by the iranians are worried that they are going to lose control of beirut? they certainly didn't lose syria. they were willing to put necessary force to keeping bashar al-assad in power. do you get the feeling they have the same feeling in lebanon and willing to use the same type of

tactics? trey: absolutely. the iranians are willing to do whatever it takes to keep their proxies in power and i would give you examples across the middle east where we've reported, reporting on the ground in gaza city talking to islamic jihad and hamas, when we were reporting in baghdad talking to militia members from hezbollah, they want to see that continued support from the iranian regime and they are willing to do whatever the regime that iran asks. excuse the profanities, you can tell people are upset. the woman speaking about lebanese president michel aoun. she said she didn't want him to be president anymore and that's what we are seeing, similar sentiment across the city. leland: trey, your perspective of control iran has from gaza to where you are in beirut to

reporting in baghdad is invaluable. our thanks to you, you and your crew stay safe throughout the night and obviously we will be back throughout the evening, good to see you. trey: thanks, leland. alicia: major league baseball season started up a few weeks ago but some teams are now facing covid outbreaks in the bullpen. we will talk to radio host charlie brennan about the covid outbreak on the st. louis cardinals team after shopping around for insurance, they called usaa - who helped find the right coverage for them and even some much-needed savings. that was the easy part. usaa insurance is made the way liz and mike need it- easy.

before the break i was talking to you about how these tours that you did, i was looking at them online, they look amazing. you would walk folks around memphis and check out different restaurants and places to taste things and visit with people but then covid came along and you have still been determine today make your business work. tell us what you're doing now. >> yes, so now tours have gone virtual. we started doing virtual a month after covid was announced and restaurants had to stop dining services and had to start delivering food to people just in memphis, tennessee and then we would also send them exclusive video clips that kind of just show you a virtual way to experience what would normally happen on a food tour but you could enjoy it in the comfort of your own home and when we also started making what we are calling memphis in a box which is a city tasting box

where we will ship different foods from different restaurant owners nationwide. alicia: such a great idea. finding a way to make it work. bob, you opened a hotel during covid. how is it going and how did you decide that was a good idea? bob: well, it wasn't on the calendar to have covid coincide with the opening, but in all honesty it's going really well. the hotel itself is a 32-room hotel from a restored art deco building that sat abandoned and then on top is a rooftop restaurant and cocktail lounge and that's -- i mean, the rooftop lounge, you can't get into, the reservations are weeks out. the hotel itself is hotel in covid and had slower start than we had hoped and even as of last night we were fully booked. alicia: that's just fantastic. the pictures of your rooftop bar

looking at it beautiful in silicon valley, looks like a great place for folks to have a stay cation. kristina what's the response to your boxes? >> the virtual tours have been great. we were able to still bring in half of the revenue that we would normally bring in during our busy summer for all of our venders so we have been happy about that. alicia: that's fantastic. bob, i want to put the covid numbers and that's why we are here talk about what everyone is trying to do and the central valley in california in particular has had a tough go right now. 12,003 cases but folks are still showing up, right? bob: yeah, folks are still showing up. businesses around here are ready to work and navigating state guidelines and adhere to cdc guidelines and they are doing their best to keep doors open

and the demand is there so we -- i mean, that's what we are -- we have no choice but to position ourselves to accommodate, you know, the guidelines that we need to because we do have demand and people want to get out. alicia: i encourage, i encourage you to google city tours. thank you. >> thank you. leland: why shortened baseball season may be cut even shorter when we come back. just over a year ago,

perhaps all the wrong reasons. now that people are seeing the outbreak even among baseball players, is anybody in st. louis calling, gee, i should have been a lot more serious about the virus? >> regarding the cardinals, not so much. i think the cardinals organization believes that it boulevard all of the proper protocols. this virus is what it is. it's invisible and sometimes it hits people who have done all that they possibly can to prevent contracting it and john, the president of baseball operations for the team today said that he feels there's no sense in shaming someone who gets this disease anymore than you would shame someone who gets any other disease. leland: excellent point there but i'm thinking that the knock-on effects, though, because fans can't go to stadiums, they were planning on going to bars and restaurants that have been hurt by coronavirus and now can't go watch the games there, the

effects on advertising, seems to be cascading really? >> yeah, there's no doubt. there are a lot of effects to this in addition to fan spirit and people enjoying themselves with a cold one watching the game but i think that most people are kind of taking in stride, leland. people are more concerned about their jobs, whether they are going to be working at home or in the workplace and whether the kids will be schooling from home or in the classroom, and, of course, the other factors of the pandemic. leland: real quick, you point out all of the things they are worried about, have the fact that even members to have cardinals have gotten it and now there's a chance the season is going to be canceled, has that changed people's attitudes in general toward the coronavirus? charlie: hard to say at this point. that's certainly possible, but i would say that people are just waiting for more information and today there will be more information from the team as to whether the next series goes on
