something mike pence invented. that is something that has been going on now since the 1990's and in large part because it is enabled again that traction because of democrats, including the clintons, who did not want to make an issue of it, wanted to be seen as religion-friendly and thought it was a low-cost maneuver. it turns out to be a high-cost maneuver in indiana. you saw him pushing it there is little bit further, the same way he pushed antiabortion restrictions just a little bit further than the other states. he wanted to be the first in this kind of christian right crusade. the corporations? this is not a great progressive victory. the corporations fighting back. he walked back the bill. it is still not a good thing. this idea that the bill was undone is false. it is still there. it has a little bit of language that some of his allies in the christian right did not like. we're seeing a narrative in the press that maybe mike pence is really going to activate the base because they turned on him. to me, that is

it's all pointing to mike pence. >> let me say one other thing about mike pence. don't forget he endorsed ted cruz. a lot of the never trumpers were former cruise people. don't forget at our town hall the other night, paul ryan said i want to see a conservative on this ticket. he said he loves mike pence. he said that just recently. so it kind of blonts the never trump movement. if pence is on the ticket, that takes a lot of wind out of their sails. >> wind, do you mean like the cities that have a lot of hot air. by the way, that's going to be cleveland. >> communications director for donald trump, jason miller, just tweeted a decision has not been made by mr. trump. we should be careful. we're saying the campaign is still saying -- >> still feverishly tweeting out the decision hasn't been made. >> they want to reveal. >> they want cleveland to rock. >> they asked people to send their phone numbers in so they can get a text with donald trump saying this is my choice. >> and the text afterwards will be, donate money. >>> i have people in cleveland and after the bre

you like mike pence? you're a young guy. >> i wouldn't be able to say exactly if all young people are like him. i like him. it's more of the point that he's here to be able to show we are a unified party and really meant to be able to appeal to other republicans. so we're happy he's here and glad he's going to be making a speech tonight. >> originally you were a marco rubio supporter. was it hard to come around to donald trump? this is a conservative guy. what do you think about mike pence and donald trump as a former rooubio supporter. >> well i did support rubio when i was walking sbo my caucus. my precinct was the one who elected me as a delegate. i represent the people. so it's the right thing to do what they wanted and that was donald trump. i threw my support behind him. >> you like mike pence, who is not particularly progressive on lgbt issues? >> he appeals to the party platform, which is what we're trying to do now. we're trying to get them to support trump. so it's one of those things where mike

mike pence. he is known as being mild mannered, well disciplined in his words. and then just in the last 24 hours, donald trump shifting and saying, no, no, i'm not looking for an attack dog. i'm actually looking for someone solid, someone who's strong, who's policy focused. a lot of people believe that is mike pence. but again, just a flurry of activity here as so many people wait to hear what's coming out of the governor's mansion. >> you mentioned dana. we'll get the scoop from dana bash in a second. i love that we're to the point we are reporting on flower delivery activity. jason, you are across the country there in sunny california. trump is there, he's scheduled to have a couple of fund-raisers. what are you hearing? >> reporter: well, a number of things, brooke. first, trump was able to raise $51 million just last month in terms of fund-raising. some of the folks out here in southern california feel as though mike pence would add to his fund-raising efforts here in this state. there are a

mike: yeah. susan: and the fact that it changed the dialogue--i mean, we hoped it would make the conversation about the death penalty more r real for both sides, um, but we had no idea it would be economically, you know, a success at all, and tim did a brilliant job withth that, and then, um--with the script and, you know, but, no, you don't know. i think you just do it because you love it, and you try to find adventure and challenge in every part that you do, and--and, you know, now i'm--i mean, i--i did a movie recently where i didn't have to die or help someone die. that was really refreshing, because you get to a certain age, and suddenly, you know, everything changes. um, so i was surprised to be off finding those scripts, you know, where there was a romance and still. mike: but it's got to be a great feeling to work on something that you're passionate about, and the issue's is so important, and--and given the fact that you know about the ebbs and flows, you just never know, and then for it

indiana governor mike pence was my first choice. i have admired the work he has done especially in the state of indiana. and i'm going to go over some of those accomplishments in just a minute. but i also admire the fact that he fights for the people and he is going to fight for you. he is a solid, solid person. [ applause ] governor pence served indiana with distinction in congress. he rose to leadership and served as chairman of the entire house republican conference. he's really got the skills of a highly talented executive leading the state of indiana to jobs, growth and opportunity in spite of the relentless obstacles put in his way and every state's way by the obama administration. it's horrible out there. high taxes and regulations. and it is out of control. mike pence is a man of honor, character and honesty. we know that. hillary clinton is the embodiment of corruption. she is a corrupt person. what she has done with her e-mails and so many things. i see the ads up all the time. she is totally bought and paid for by wall st

pence and why he chose mike pence. he did, however, talk about -- and he said one of the big reasons that he had picked mike pence is because of party unity. he was very honest about that. he said i'm on outsider. but for the beginning of this speech, wolf, it seemed as if we all were kind of waiting for a cameo appearance from mike pence. very, very different from the rousing kind of introductions we usually see in campaigns of one candidate with another. i mean donald trump did talk about the value of mike pence on the ticket and how important he is. and pence did give a very conventional speech in response, praising donald trump. but this is nothing like any introductions to america that we've seen of vice presidential candidates in the past. >> trump spoke for 28 minutes, pence spoke for 14, 15 minutes. >> but he had to say, back to mike pence. we ar all sort of waiting for him to appear. and we're told he was sort of standing off stage waiting for his moment to enter. >> yeah, exactly. but if you sift through the

mike pence has faced a pink slip. i'm happy for my party, too, because i do not want the republican party to be the party .f the elite i think it is a really positive step forward, especially when it seems at a time when hillary clinton is having a difficult time gaining trust and projecting herself as a person of the people. mark: positive step forward if he is choosing mike pence. kellyanne: right, hypothetically. you are like the zelig of american politics, very close to donald trump, very close to mike pence, very close to ted cruz, whose super pac you helped direct when he was a candidate. kellyanne: i'm thrilled senator cruz is speaking at the convention. he will have a lot to add. i'm thrilled mr. trump asked and senator cruz agreed to speak. mark: why has he not endorsed? kellyanne: everybody is so tired of that word. what does it mean? he is going to the convention. he will inspire lots of folks there. he came in second. he won the silver in a very tough year when so many odds were against them. they got the

who mike pence is. because i think that goes into why this is so awkward, to piggie -- mike pence is in favor of trade. he was an avid supporter of nafta. mike pence praised hillary clinton for going into libya. mike pence voted for the iraq war. mike pence is everything that donald trump is talking about not being, so that's why this relationship is awkward. but to donald trump's credit, i think that although mike pence doesn't put any fear into the hearts of democrats like a newt gingrich or a chris christie did due to their oratory skills, or their bombastic personality, i do think he was the best in terms of what the choices were there, there was no tim scott, there was no marco rubio, and to david's point briefly, this is an amazing opportunity, however, this is about character witnesses for donald trump. and donald trump's character witnesses are pretty -- antonio sabado and tim -- >> you said they disagree on iraq, here it is, this is the interview tonight. >> yeah, you went to iraq, but that was

mike is in that vein. when you put him up against trump the dichotomy, the contrast is so stark. >> will it bother him that trump is trump and not scripted. >> i can tell you from behind the scenes when i have talked with republicans there is some concern. there is a split inside his camp. it's to the 1 hundred%. but we do know that mike was 100% on this. he made that calculation weeks ago. so you know he got -- he put down an interesting marker today. you know, he is very controlled. he is not like trump where trump will fire off left and right like that. you never know what you are expecting. mike is very controlled and will only move like an inch this way or that. classical politician. he laid down a marker in there today. the back fight over the vice president. when the call was made and everything. mike made it clear that the call was made on wednesday. and he paused for effect. i think you are going to see a lot of that. he is holding his ground. but it's going to be tough. he is going to have to hol

mike pence goes some way towards doing that. in the same way that there will be a lot of people-- in the end, it will move some measured force during that. for those that doubt donald trump's real ideological conviction, the second person on the ticket won't solve the problem. mark: it depends on whether mike pence is influential within the campaign. to the stress some of these conservative issues that trump has not stressed? we will see how much grassroots, work pants has done reaching out to influential groups. i think if mike pence spends more time worked with groups, unlike mitt romney and john mccain, of consolidating conservatives. might indications are that he will and they have a notion of how to deploy him, not just in cleveland, but beyond. john: there's a chance of that. i have been baffled by the way that any people on the right have dealt with the trumping for a long time. i'm still baffled that paul ryan can say she makes racist comments, but i'm still going to endorse him. mark: he may be a racist, but he is our r

mike pence's koch advantage. winking at 2016, mike pence courts koch brothers. also, mike pence, a koch favorite, running for 2016. this got a lot more attention when he was thinking about running for president himself in 2016, before his collapse in indiana last spring over that anti-gay bill he signed and then tried to take back and then couldn't explain and said he wasn't taking it back and then did take it back. but even though he's not running for president himself, it's worth considering again now if pence is going to be trump's running mate. it's worth considering whether that might mean that the koch brothers and their network of conservative funders might get off their wallets after all and get involved in the presidential race this year. the koch brothers apparently do not like donald trump. before trump became the nominee, the koch brothers had pledged they and their network would spend 800 or $900 million for the next president to be republican. once trump got the nomination, that's been off the table. the koch brothers and their network have opted o

just give us the case for mike pence. not to say he is the pick, but what does he bring to the ticket? kelly: a couple of things -- he showed the other night at the rally that one can attack the candidacy of hillary clinton, challenge her fitness to be president, but to do it surgically, and methodically, yet passionately. i think mike pence can take a comment by hillary clinton that she made in west virginia, promising to put the coal industry out of business and travel that comment westward through pennsylvania, ohio, indiana, illinois, michigan and iowa. you make them competitive. he has a $2 billion surplus. a lot of infrastructure development. the economy is going very well in indiana and has created manufacturing jobs, which is something that donald trump says he was to do as president. a lot of people are skeptical of that. under pence's leadership, they have. he also checks washington box and spent 12 years in congress. 10 of those were on the foreign affairs committee. the last term in congress before he went to

i thought mike pence did it best though, mike pence was confident, big , brush by. it's astonishing to me that apparently the trump campaign never asked for a copy of the speech to approve it and that it . at these conventions everybody's speech gets approved and vetted and the cruz and cruz campaign didn't offer it. i assume they did know in advance that it was coming, they did an okay job of preparing for it. i thought the best line was the line that newt gingrich came up with which was that it you vote your conscience you got to vote against hillary clinton but this is as joe said not a good night for the republicans to have that kind of coverage on the night of mike pence's speech and wake up this morning and have this discussion be about what ted cruz said, not about what mike pence said. it's a reminder that this process of unification for both parties but especially the republicans this year is not going to happen simply at the convention and in one event, it's going to be a process and i think the tone going forward would be better to be mike pence which is

back to mike pence. so, one of the primary reasons i chose mike was i look at indiana and i won indiana big. that is where trump was going down. they agreed i would win new york and pennsylvania and all the places, but indiana was want to be the firewall. is like that the study indiana and i got to study new york and a lot of other places and i saw how nafta side by bill clinton has drained our manufacturing jobs. just drained as like we have never been drained before. nafta again find by bill clinton. nafta is the worst economic deal in history of our country. manufacturing down in some states 55%, 50%. , 60%. i have a friend who is a great builder. all he does is build plants. the biggest in the world. i said how was business? he goes, unbelievable. really, i am surprised, why is it unbelievable? he said, what we are doing in mexico, you won't believe. mexicobuilding plants in the likes of which we have never seen. so what about this country? how much? that was the expression. not much. mexico, he said

mean the medicaid supporting mike pence? any comment.ave >> of the agreements we just which do you think would be actual problems? >> josh ernest is going to end podium, i the predict, engaging in comedy. look, this is -- the democrats largely not charging pence's qualifications. they're basically saying he's and they've added another extremist to the ticket. there's also this attempt as did there to sow discord. i think the one that's the this in theu see talking points the campaign put out, the question of the muslim ban which pence and many denounced. i think trump continues to move to the center on that, not all way but to the center, more than the original proposal. i think that's the one that's most dangerous. asked about trump's fundamental judgment on the original position, i think that's problematic. i don't see any of the others being a huge problem. think that's conceivably a very large problem. condemnationin his of that proposal and trump has modified it in in ways and there thepparently a story on website about

mike pence is very different. he's a low key, midwestern nice guy everyone seems to like in the republican party. donald trump is getting rave reviews across nearly every part of the republican party frump t -- these two candidates running mates partners here they do have their differences. donald trump was a critic of the iraq war. mike pence voted in favor of the iraq war. donald trump is come out very strongly against obamacare. mike pence as governor of indiana expanded medicaid as part of obamacare as governor of indiana. there are lots of other differences, whether or not we'll be able to ask about those differences remains to be seen. from standing in this room even though donald trump tweeted out this was going to be a news conference, the press is set up behind some barricades behind several rows of chairs for guests here. it appears this is not going to be a news conference after all. but getting back to some of the differences between mike pence and donald trump, you know, mike pence himself has taken e

pence, look up, mike pence, like up. whether we want to go as far back as san bernardino, and terrorist attacks in nice over the weekend and does donald trump project that we need to have a stronger government. this convention will prove to you you want us to run the country. >> you saw it the other day with the truck screaming out the window. you saw it in san bernardino. you saw it at the world trade center. you saw it in orlando. you saw it in paris. you see it all over, and hillary is a weak person. we are the law and order candidates and with a law and order party. >> help me with that balance because they do think this helps them. it's tough. law and order and people are anxious and scared, but when you are trying to get people to step back and like you more as a person it's a constant. >> the poll from 1968 and not 2016, does that appeal to some folks? yes, absolutely. that's why he's doing it. strongman politics has its appeal and that's why he's the nominee today, but there's no question that it has a downside,

does mike pence help you? >> hugely. mike pence is a pro. so what everybody has been asking for is the pivot. so they know donald is rich. they know he's capable and they know he's a great businessman and they know he's a celebrity and they want to see a little bit of presidential tone and a little bit of that ability to build consensus, but remember, consensus just goes to the lowest common denominator, but pence is a pro and legislative enactment and governing. as chris christie, we had a transition team meeting today. i have to tell you i was so impressed as to what can happen with trump, so trump assigns christie as a transition team management. i sat for 15 minutes and listened to him and said you've got to come with me to my wall street brethren because in 20 minutes you will convince them that we are going to do something that hasn't been done. it will be a team -- >> even though christie is not on the ticket? >> look, having christie there will be more powerful than the job that he'll take probably than vice president, but it's anoth

mike pence was a ted cruz supporter. mike pence tweeted that the ban on muslims was unconstitutional and offensive. so while this kind of deflates the anti trump movement to a degree, these are not two people who have been in sync the entire time. whereas chris christie was somebody who joined the trump train as soon as he got off the campaign basically. i'm sure this was a very tough decision for donald trump. it's the first one we've seen. when candidates make decision about who their vice president is going to be, it tells you a lot about the candidate. and what donald trump is doing if, indeed, he funerally makes that phone call to mike pence, as we expect him to do, what he's doing is nodding to, in fact, some of his detractors and his family and others who are saying, you know what? this is the right decision for you to make because you can help bring the party together which is what donald trump has been saying he actually wants to do. >> live pictures from the indiana governor's mansion over there. we're trying t

that is not, amanda carpenter, mike pence. mike pence likes to say i'm a christian, i'm a conservative, i'm a republican in that order, now, he's got that fourth thing, donald trump's running mate. where is the trump list going to fit into that list of three. >> yeah, it's going to be an interesting tap. we'll know a little more about mike pence's speech. is he conservative decoration? or is he there for a sprinkle of conservatism. eye candy, is this weird to think about, or is he a partner in the trump administration? will he be able to provide donald trump with any guidance, input, advice. i don't sort of seeing that happening. but if pence could convince people that would be the case that would go a long way. >> is he going to chant lock her up, lock her up, that's clearly the theme, not not make america great. we heard last night, at hillary clinton now belongs in prison? this is a tweet he put out. come on, we can make the case that she shouldn't be elected without jumping the shark. the lockup theme has resonated this we

what a difference between crooked hillary clinton and mike pence. [ applause ] mike pence will never be afraid to speak the name of our enemy, radical islam, radical islamic terrorism. >> i thank donald trump for the confidence you've placed in us and i accept your invitation to run and serve as vice president of the united states of america. >> americans can choose a leader who will fight to make america safe and prosperous again, and bring real change. or we can elect someone who literally personifies the failed establishment in washington, d.c. seven and a half years of barack obama and hillary clinton's policies have weakened america's place in the world and stifled our nation's economy. terrorist attacks at home and abroad. grim and heartbreaking scenes from france, just a few short days ago. the attempted coup in turkey, all attest to a world spinning apart. for the sake of our security, for the sake of our prosperity, for the sake of a supreme court that will never turn its back on our god-given liberties, let's come together. as party and a people as a movement to make americ

>> that is not mike pence at all. mike pence is humble. when he went back to indiana last night, they had pizza night at the governor's mansion. he thanked everyone. he said, this has been such an overwhelming experience. he had tears in his eye. in the beginning trump was saying i don't know if i should do it. by the end he was pinching himself saying i really want to do it. there were thoughts and then tweets. the bottom line, i laugh at the critics. when joe biden gets picked for 48-year-old barack obama, so experienced and smart guy. you have an experienced guy, boring. you don't need exciting. you already have exciting. >> they bring different things to the table. >> at least they acknowledge that. >> the base likes mike pence, so there are a couple of goals of the rnc here this week in cleveland. one is to show america, what would america be like with donald trump as president of the united states. they're going to roll that out. number two, it's all about unity and that's where mike pence helps mr. trump. >> without unity, guys, we

mike, good morning. you made it over here. >> hey bob kelly what is going on. >> you and i can hang tight, grab some good stuff. >> this place, the trading post is located on kings highway, main drag here, beautiful looking store. so come on in and meet mitch. >> tell us about the store. >> well, thanks for having us on. we are a man cave meets general store. we have been here for about a year and a half. it is great fun. great customers, great people. we can't say enough about it. >> it looks like you have a little will bit of everything. >> we do a big feature on u.s. made goods. we carry philson, detroit products. >> yes. >> leave it at that. >> we carry great stuff from ireland, new seal land and it thely as well. >> bob, do you want to do a fashion show. >> let's go. >> you stand there. i will get out of the way. first model, come on out. >> this is brandon, he is wearing a jacket from dueberry, and it is fully waterproof, win proof, great for the shore. but one of the most popular items we have, ma

mike tobin in cleveland as the protests undoubtedly grow as well. thanks, mike. liz. >> we know local roads and highways, exit ramps will be closed around parts of philadelphia where the democratic national convention will take place later this month. pop-up barriers will be used to harden the perimeter around the wells fargo arena, and pedestrian-only areas will be established. tens of thousands of protesters are expected to show up. authorities say security will resemble the plan used for the pope's visit, but on a little bit smaller scale. >>> just ahead, the two-man team is in place, mike pence, donald trump. now comes the hard part, perhaps, selling it to the american people. our political panel weighs in on the trump-pence ticket and what it could do for republican party unity. >>> and our fox news military analyst breaks down the attempted coup in turkey overnight. a surprise act that sent diplomatic, political and of course security ripples across the middle east and across the world. >> translator: this acts of betrayal is an uprising and let me say ahea

so, mike pence leaves this room full of energy. and incredibly, it was a speech that was long, undoubtedly. inarguably, it was long, but he absolutely held the room for the whole speech. obviously, it was very, very well received. steve schmidt, can i ask you a little bit about what is typical in terms of the staging? we saw donald trump leave the family sort of vip box earlier after his son, eric, spoke, and then we did see mr. trump come out for a hot second at the end of mike pence's speech, while the applause was ringing through the hall. how are these things usually done and how does tonight compare? >> in recent election cycles, rachel, the candidate who previously had just made an appearance on the night they accepted the nomination, has entered the hall on the earlier nights. and typically over the last couple of elections, you see the presidential nominee come out, congratulate the vice presidential nominee, stand for a few moments on the stage, get the photo op, get the picture together, then exit, and of course, come bac

tonight mike pence will speak to an audience of millions. making his prime time debut here in cleveland. a massive change from just a week ago. now he's surrounded by reporters and secret service. >> this is what it's like to overnight become a vice presidential candidate, the secret service just arrived, this is a complete life changing development for mike pence from indiana. >> i actually got out of the car in the alley, and i saw all these cars, and i turned to the security official and i said, are they all with us? >> reporter: a former member of congress and attorney pence began his career as a talk radio host. ♪ the mike pence show >> here in indiana -- >> reporter: and as governor, he has proven to be a staunch social conservative. signing controversial legislation, including a religious freedom bill that came under fire from gay rights groups. >> no hate in our state. >> reporter: he also helped pass a strict anti-abortion bill that would have limited women's right to abort a disabled fetus. it was blocked by a federal judge. but

pence an mike pence have been married for 31 years. their son is recently engaged and said the nation. charlotte and audrey, their two daughters. the children are all in their mid to late 20's and they are a very he. they are a tightknit family and they make decisions together. it was reported that their one daughter was with them when they came out to meet the trump family several weeks ago. i think the trumps made a decision when the children were ages 4, 5, and six when he got to congress, and they made the decision to be together as a family in the washington suburb, to raise the children there. they had dinner together every night. that is very suite and very much they are. active. very karen has kept a lot of her own schedule. and popular speaker leader in indiana. as the country gets to know them, they will bury do much enjoy them -- they will very much enjoy them and like them. the official vetting of governor pence was fairly clean. >> kelly and, there have been a lot of activity in the rules committee in cleveland. the campai

mike pence, what do you think of the pick? >> reassuring pick as far as the remnant of the republican party which is not rallied to trump's side. you think about trump's position, trying to add up the numbers for a general election. mitt romney got 93% of the republican vote and won the independents and still lost. sort of the first order of business for donald trump will be to fill out the republican support so he has at least that. it would be great for him if he could get more. it's a real task. he doesn't have that. it's reflected by who's here and who's not here in this convention hall. he picks somebody who is in the republican mainstream. it was a safe, if unexciting choice. >> we asked for you questions for the panel. we got a bunch about the pick of mike pence. here's one of them, will pence harm trump's noni had logical personality driven brand? >> yes, it was a safe choice in the sense it would appeal to republicans who have been skeptical of trump, but it goes so against type for trump. he's picking someone who has

back to mike pension. so one of the primary reasons i chose mike was i looked at indiana, and i won indiana big. remember, they were going the fire wall. winning pennsylvania, and indiana was going to be, and i got to study new york, and i saw how nafta, signed by bill clinton, drained our manufacturing jobs, just drained us, like never before. nafta, again, signed by bill clinton. nafta is the worst economic deal in the history of our country. manufacturing down in some states 55-60%. it's a horror show. moving to mexico, moving to other places. i have a friend who is a great builder. what he builds is plan plants. the biggest in the world from what i hear. with him the other day, how's business? he goes, unbelievable. i said, really, wow, i'm surprised. why is it unbelievable? because i think of the building in the country. he says, donald, what we do in mexico, you won't believe. we build plants in mexico the likes of which we've never seen. i said what about this country? not much, not much. nothing sp
