but, there are a lot of people who do agree with mike pence. host: and he shares that with his wife. guest: he does. the two of them both strong evangelicals. for people deciding on whether you want to support him, i think it is instructive -- constructive to look at policy. you see that sometimes in the social battles. what i have found looking into this was reflections inside foreign and middle east policy. viewers to gert -- two google "dispensationalism, cope -- that playsonalism," into it. you heard a little bit of that last night with mike pompeo giving his speech from jerusalem. i would look into that area. book,when you're out this what did you learn about the conversations mike and karen's pence had about religion and running as the president's ?unning mate before the campaign he was known to have marital affairs. guest: number one, karen has -- karen and mike do everything together. quite real.ship is it is not fake. they have a very close relationship. she is also his most important political advisor. for me, when i was reporting thi

a word about mike pence. pence has never as chris pointed out broken with the president in any public respect. i rather suspect if you want to have influence with donald trump and be in the inner circle, you can't do that. some day i would love to read mike pence's memoirs about what went on in meetings and discussions when decisions were being made and he might have disagreed with the president and what he said. because, you know, as chris pointed out, they're very different men. it will be interesting to hear what he has to say tonight as well. >> martha: we're getting ready to go to lara trump. they're in the end of the video here at fort mchenry. here's lara trump. >> good evening. daughter daughter, mother, sister and the daughter-in-law of our 45th president, donald j. trump. tonight i come to you simply as an american. my life began like many our country, i grew up in wrightsville beach, north carolina. my parents were small business owners and worked hard to make sure my brother and i had everything w

i watched mike pence tonight. and there are some things he didn't say, and some things that he said that remind us who the heck this party is. they talk so much about freedom, so much about protecting the people who ultimately are the vigilantes. he said nothing at all about justice, about civil rights, about safeguarding innocent americans being gunned down by police. he clearly is reflecting the party who does not care about the average person who is harmed by the state. other things that mike pence said tonight that -- i don't know why i'm shocked by this administration continually. he reminded us that he passed a bill in indiana that allowed people to bypass the fda and try experimental drugs. he wants to feed the corporations, and bragged about passing a law that said you don't have to deal with the fda guidelines. this administration has constantly pushed hat after hat after hat that hasn't actually helped anyone to profiteer and help their cronies. and he talked about liberalism, in a way that he doesn't de

and that is what we heard from mike pence. it is about stopping the violence, not about addressing the issue of justice. not about addressing the issue ofjustice. so, again, a clear indication of the split screen of america that we see at the moment and one, again, that mike pence made reference to. this is all about whether america remains america. well, whose america? and this is the fundamental problem that america is in right now and very much what we have seen over the last two weeks with the democratic convention earlier and now the republican convention, both presenting starkly different visions of the future. on point, he did make mention of hurricane laura menacing the gulf coast at the moment and spoke of sacrifices and hardship of this year like no other that it is as if they we re no other that it is as if they were passed. what you make of the tone and whether the speech felt, whether the administration feels in touch with the sacrifices, hardships and tragedies around america at the moment. i think they are playi

here's why as president mike pence will make his case to voters at the republican national convention later on wednesday night a socially distance audience of our 100 people are expected to watch and deliver his speech from fort mchenry in maryland other speakers on day 3 will include pence his wife karen and civil rights advocate clarence anderson let's go live now to our white house correspondent kimberly halkett kennedy so mike pence will be giving his keynote speech later from fort mchenry was he chosen this location and what are we expecting to hear from the vice president. well i'll start with the latter part of that question 1st what we're expecting to hear from him will be according to the white house in the campaign a forward looking speech one that projects optimism also laying out the goals of a 2nd trump administration term so this is something that the white house says they will lay out the economic successes in also how to overcome some of the challenges economically presented by cope with 19 now that also brings up the fact one that is glaring for so many americans is t

so that was mike pence's speech. i guess we finally found out why pence always has the permanent squint. his own face is going, are we really saying this bullshit? at least pence finder the address by turning all the b.s. into one amazing new terrible campaign slogan. >> we will reelect our president, and principled republican leaders across the land, and with president donald trump in the white house for four more years, and with god's help, we will "make america great again, again." >> trevor: damn, i didn't think they could come up with something worse than "make america great again" but they did it. maga was a call to a by gone that never existed. the new slogan sounds like somebody who got hit in the head with a bag of hammers. because what's implied by "make america great again, again," is at some point during your rpty, you ( bleep ) up. seems like the whole slogan is a mistake. mr. president, we immediate kneed to think of a brand-new slogan up. how about "make america great again." again? my, god, mike, you'

, the wife of mike pence. i think she is the interesting ones here because she is a survivor of the trump administration as i was saying. she orchestrated and as she just said, orchestrated his victory when she took over as his campaign manager. his candidacy was on the ropes, it really wasn't going anywhere. against the odds, she turned it around. so i think what was interesting about what she was saying is the fact that the president, against the popular image of him, supports women. she was talking about how he empowered her and this is something that the republicans are desperate to try and get across right now because president trump in the polls is not doing well among women at all. joe biden is ahead of him in that particular group by some 15 points. so this is a very, very important message that kellyanne conway is trying to get across. it has the added credibility in that she is dealing with the president on a face—to—face basis pretty much every day. so when she says, he supports me, he empowers

and, boy, did he hit it out of the park with mike pence.

that has been mike pence's role, he has been an attack dog for the president. he has been fiercely loyal, and i would have expected nothing less from him. what was interesting about his speech and frustrating for me was it wasn't grounded in reality. the picture of the country that mike pence was painting does not reflect what is actually happening under donald trump. he conveniently left out the fa ct he conveniently left out the fact 180,000 americans are dead, and they didn't have to be. a lot of it was because of donald trump's failed leadership in addressing the covid process of being honest about handling the pandemic properly. so there was no mention of that. to be fair, he did talk about it and he did recognise there have been a large number of people affected. he did also say we're going to have a vaccine, we're going to have a vaccine, we're going to have a vaccine, we're going to be the world and having a vaccine by the end of the year. yeah, he wasn't honest about that. the fact they are rushing a vaccine through years disingenuous —— is disinge

there are challenges that come with mike pence. of thein charge coronavirus task force and many americans point of this administration, saying it was slow to react. challenges to overcome in the speech. it is a beautiful evening in washington dc and closer to baltimore is where pence will speak at fort mchenry. we know throughout the evening wife will be mike pence's who will speak about the military, honoring what they say are military heroes, and kellyanne conway is expected to appear. notable, given the fact she is leaving her post at the end of the month. lauren: with the violence and protests in the wisconsin, do we expect that to be a subject they address? reporter: it has been noticeably absent in the first two evenings with the exception of a brief mention by melania trump. we expect that to change this evening. we expect to see the vice president take a strong stance against the social unrest. we know there will be a condemnation of the killing of jacob blake but what the administration says it will not stand for is the la

mike pence took the time -- and look. they may, very well, wind up leading this country for the next four years. >> and they may talk about it tomorrow. but why not tonight? >> this is on their watch. >> it is on their watch. >> mike pence is aware of this now. and he said, tonight -- he said tonight, okay, let's run the race that's marked out for us. is solving the division here not part of what's marked out for them? he followed it by saying where the spirit of the lord is, there is freedom. as a christian, mr. vice president, if you don't believe that your faith demands that you speak about what's happening in kenosha, right now. not in terms of showing riots and fomenting tension when it's a symptom of a problem, that we're seeing in real time with how the situation was dealt with in real time. if you don't speak about that, don't talk about the spirit of the lord guiding a race for you because you are erasing the guidance that the lord should have been given. if you are a christian, you should care about what happene

role mike pence will be playing in the next 80 days? guest: the most important role will be at the vice presidential debate in utah. without a campaign trail it does not look like we will have any campaign events in person. those debates will take on greater importance. mike pence did well at the 2016 debate against senator tim kaine. a lot of people are raising expectations for senator, harris -- senator kamala harris. they will be in the nationally televised vice presidential debate coming up. host: don in houston, texas. caller: can you hear me? morning. i am trying to do my political math. candidatesite male have lost presidential elections? a black woman or a woman period would lose automatically is preposterous. we live in america. there are many people trying to get to america just to be an american, regardless of their station in life. their station in life in america will hold much better than anywhere in the world. says testingration is a preventive care. we can get preventive health care or universal health care, but we have

i think people are looking forward to that match-up with mike pence. we'll see how that plays out. >> doctor, you get to bat cleanup tonight. what am i missing about this story of the russian vaccine named after sputnik, their famous satellite? lot of americans woke up to the news that putin was talking it up, i've already given it to one of my daughters. what are we missing, other than the fact that they may be missing at least one stage or two of vaccine research? >> well, it's incredibly anti-science and it's incredibly dangerous. i can think of two world leaders who are pushing vaccine without regard to safety and efficacy and those would be donald trump and vladimir putin. the only two leaders i can think of in the entire world, brian, who have the audacity to suggest we start giving people vaccine before it's actually ready. and i think there's something weird about that particular connection, but it's very unfortunate for the russian people that vladimir putin is taking on the scientific role of condoning something so inherently unsafe, brian. >

mike pence has been a good loyal soldier. he did a really good job tonight and tomorrow it's donald trump's turn. >> karl rove, notice there were prominent black speakers every night defending president trump and a number of different ways. three, four, five of them. do you think that they're seeing numbers maybe with black males or -- that they're moving? there's clearly an appeal here. >> i think they openly acknowledged earlier in the year that they were seeing very good numbers among black men particularly younger black men and i think the diversity that has been exemplified is a very good thing for the republicans. the best night was last night when we had one woman that stood up and said my father wore a turbine and my mother wore a sorry and a young man stand up and say my family has gone from cotton to congress in one lifetime. very strong. i want to say one thing. i agree with chris. very effective speech by the vice president. the most sustained defense of the administration's response to coronavirus of any of the s

peter what did you make of vice president mike's mike pence's speech well as he sat there in the big theme of the night absolutely law and order with the nod that we just saw there to invest in cities like an osha. mike pence said law and order was on the ballot and what was interesting was also the contrast that he drew with the democrats where he said you know he painted a picture a very dystopian picture if democrats win the election that it would be you know a country you know cloaked in darkness and chaos he said you won't be safe in joe biden's america and said the choice in this election is whether america remains america he then went on to praise trump heaping praise for handling of the economy which he. praises the strongest economy in u.s. history and he also did something that we actually have not heard a lot of in the past couple days which was to talk about the coronavirus he praised the administration's efforts which he is lead in taking on the virus and said that we're on track to have the world's 1st safe effective buyers' vaccine by the end of this year now there was

and another one here from mike pence. it is interesting he is in on it. before he was in a buddy movie with donald trump he was a normal-ish republican. never would have been a nominee or national figure i don't think in his own right but he said yes as they say. this is also from pence's speech. joe biden has referred to himself as a transition candidate. many are asking transition to what? last week democrats didn't talk about their agenda. well, this is a convention or convention-like event without a platform. it is literally devoid of agenda as a strategy. it doesn't have one because the platform was ripped up, burned down, and it just says we're enthusiastically for donald trump. you know, the 22,000 lives make a lot more sense because when they lie about big stuff in the context of an election that is 68 days away all the trump base hae hears is people like us saying lie meter add to. >> to my friends who have been watching all night, we get one more night to do this tomorrow evening bright eyed and bushy tailed. to rachel, nicole, joy, our thanks.
