the veepstakes? >> i think it hurt him a lot. he didn't get it. >> if you have your own hit or miss, tweet it to us. that's it for the show. thanks for watching. hope to see you right here next week. dm donald trump introducing mike pence as running mate. appearing for the first time since yesterday calls pence his first poise for vice president. welcome to election headquarters i'm trace gallagher. >> hi, trace. today's introduction coming just two days before the start of the republican convention. governor pence offering high praise for mr. trump, endorsing the top of the ticket along with the need to make america great again. >> i thank donald trump for the confidence you've placed in us.

i accept your invitation to run and serve as vice president of the united states of america. >> chief political correspondent cameron live in new york city with the latest. carl. >> hi, trace. well, trump did say pence was his first choice today and tweeted out it would be pence yesterday. thursday night he said it wasn't. he hadn't made his final decision. it won't be officially official until they are both nominated on the convention floor next week. that said, trump sort of made light of the fact that pence wasn't always on the trump train. in fact, he had endorsed ted cruz, one of the rivals who lasted the longest and in the end dubbed lyin' ted. he said he welcomed pence to the ticket and tweaked him a little

for being been a cruz backer. >> governor pens under-of- endorsed someone else but more of an endorsement for me. if you remember, he talked about trump, then ted, who is a good guy who will be speaking at the convention the ted cruz, good guy. he talked about trump, ted, then trump. i said, who did he endorse. it was the single greatest nonendorsement i've ever had in my life. >> there you have the ticket. there had been a logo but there's been a change. yesterday when the trump campaign unveiled ted cruz with the tweet they put out a logo put out tp, trump pence, make america great. that is no more. decided to go with what's on the screen now, much more traditional, graphic design, not

engender social media they were putting on the first logo. these are kinds of things we have to cover but in fact have very little to do with the race. the vice presidential pick usually doesn't have a tremendous effect on the success or failure of the presidential candidate in either party. history dictates that. it can be a liability, but very rarely is it a major boost to the campaign but a boost in the polls on the shorthand. when you look back over history, despite descriptions of this process picking a running mate for donald trump this time around, if you compare it to virtually all of the selections over the last few years, presidential campaigns, always a terrible, terrible race by the press, all cutting and gouging trying to get to it first. it happened with mitt romney when he picked paul ryan, late at night to the following announcement and every race back. so now that there's a running mate and candidate, they will next time appear at the

convention. first vice presidential candidate has a speech. thursday night next that's when we'll hear from donald trump and see two candidates arms raised. today pence has a coming home rally in indianapolis. a lot of folks there welcoming him. trump does plan to do a little campaigning as the convention unfolds but he'll also be making appearances there periodically, often he hopes almost arriving in secret. trump campaign loves to keep the suspense going, trace. >> that initial logo did stir up some controversy on social media. carl cameron live. thank you very much. >> you bet. >> joining us now to talk more about the campaign is trump surrogate and florida governor rick scott. good to have you here, governor. >> i think he did a good job. i think mike is a great choice. i have a bias for governors. he's going to help trump get elected. >> very good. let's start here. i like the way you introduced it. governor, let me ask a couple

questions. politicos will start to highlight differences between governor pence and trump, political liability. do you see that as a difference, yin and yang, salt and pepper, cream to coffee. >> what pence brings to the table, governor experience, executive experience, congress experience, good relationship with congress. i think it's a very good choice. look, people are going to clearly have disagreements, but trump's agenda is the agenda. we need more jobs. we need person jobs. we need to destroy isis, build our military. governor pence is going to be supportive of that. when donald trump becomes next president, mike pence's vice president is going to help that agenda get implemented. >> of course mr. trump made sure to mention governor pence is his first choice and one of the reasons he chose pens was to

promote party unity. is there anything for pundits to read between the lines there that pence was a compromise choice? >> i don't think so. i've talked to donald. he's excited about mike pence. he's excited for the right reasons. he's a governor. he's got experience but he also has great relationships and experience in congress, and he believes in this country. he believes in the american dream. that's what the republican party believes in. we believe you can come from any zip code, any family and achieve anything. that's what mike pence believes, donald trump believes. this is donald trump's agenda, build jobs, american jobs, destroy isis, build our military. that's the agenda that's going to go forward. >> now that governor pence has been chosen as veeps pick, game on. in what areas does governor pence need coaching or prepg for as he will now be under the

national and international microscope. >> mike has been very successful in congress, with governor, i compete with him for jobs. he has added 150,000 jobs since he got elected. unemployment from 8.4 to 5% since he got elected. he's a good competitor. i think he's going hit the ground running. he clearly believes like donald does we need to focus on american jobs and destroying isis. i think he's going to do a great job. ening it's a great source. >> certainly not implying governor pence is a novice, absolutely not. but the spotlight when it comes to being vice president is different from that as running a state or local municipality. can he handle it? >> mike is a hard work. first off he's got a wonderful family. his wife karen is a wonderful person. he's a hard worker. he'll work hard and campaign hard and make sure donald trump is our next president. that's what we have to do, make sure donald trump wins so we can

govern and turn the country around and stop what has happened over the last 7 1/2 years under barack obama and hillary clinton. >> so there is the question lingering out there eventually everyone will get to it, i'm sure, which is how long will the honeymoon last. will president trump actually listen to vice president pence, his advice? >> my experience, i've known donald quite a while. he listens to you. you don't walk in and tell donald he's wrong. you walk in and say, look, here is an idea. think about it. i have a good working relationship with mr. trump. i've given him ideas. he's called me with ideas. we have a good working relationship and i'm sure mike pence will have a great working relationship with donald trump. >> mike scott great to have you on the program today, good luck to you and your candidate. >> all right. he's going to have a big win. the campaign trail is quiet on the democratic front with hillary clinton taking a break

as the gop convention approaches but that has not stopped democratic leaders reacting on media regarding the vice presidential pick mike pence. brian in our newsroom with more on that. brian. >> the hillary clinton campaign and democrats are targeting donald trump's vice presidential pick mike pence as the most extreme right wing vp choice in a generation. they are highlighting pence's tea party roots as one of the movements earliest advocates painting him anti-immigrant for opposition of comprehensive immigration reform, anti-woman for trying to defund planned parent and anti-lgtb for controversial religious freedom bill in 2015. senator elizabeth warren claims primary trump attack dog tweeting today, donald trump, a guy who calls women fat pigs and bimbos picked a vp famous for trying to control women's body. hillary clinton tweeting if you had any doubts about trump sticking with his dangerous plan

for america, say hello to his vp pick. in a new ad today the campaign released taking advantage of a report that trump had last-minute doubts as picking pence as his vp. it's a report trump denies but the clinton camp says it proves trump is an indecisive leader. >> around midnight last night, so this morning, donald trump was on the phone with senior advisers trying to see if he could get out of this, if it's possible to not actually pick mike pence. >> you have a candidate not comfortable with the decision. >> meantime as one vp race ends, clinton vp speculation ramps up. the fox can confirm on friday clinton met with three potential vp running mates at her home in washington, d.c., senator warren, colorado governor john hickenlooper and secretary of housing and development julian

castro. this morning "politico" reports mrs. clinton will announce her vice presidential pick next friday in florida. the campaign says shooting it down the decision of where and when has not been decided yet. trace. >> live in the newsroom, brian, thank you. major developments in turkey to report now as the country reasserts control after a failed coup attempt the elected government arresting thousands of people in cracking down those allegedly behind the effort to overthrow the president. the coup attempt left more than 150 people dead and nearly 1500 others wounded. meanwhile the pentagon says u.s. warplanes have stopped flying missions against isis from an air base in southern turkey after the government closed its airspace to military aircraft. >> also overseas three days of mourning now under way in france as the country reels from it's third major terror attack in 13 months.

a live look at the memorial for victims. people gathering this saturday to remember. placing flowers and the french flag in tribute. meantime death toll remains at 34 but number of injured rising to more than 300, this as isis claims the man who plowed his truck into a crowd was one of the terror groups supporting soldiers. let's get to bill on the french riviera for us. bill. >> reporter: trace, 9:00 in the evening here two days removed from that horrendous attack. isis made a claim of responsibility earlier today but it's not clear how deep that relationship runs. more on that in a moment. the french interior minister earlier saying this killer must have been radicalized quickly. the reason they say, that trace, they are not sure because he was not on their radar how this happened, how it came together, how far under ground he was. now, there are two ways to be

radicalized. you're contacted from the outside, you take orders from others or you're radicalized, self-radicalized online inspired by an article or message or something that comes from inside raqqah, syria, for example as we've seen in the past. at the moment it is not clear what direction this 34-year-old tunisian was taking at the moment. in the meantime here on the promenade you can see 48 hours later life starting to dock co-back to nice, france. the dozens if not hundreds of french people, foreigners, streamed up and down promenade, if you go up and down behind me a half mile you'll see flowers and candles that have been placed for each of the bodies, either those who lost their lives or those injured. those candles have been burning throughout the day. the entire area, with one small exception is also open to vehicle traffic.

that one section is where that 20 ton truck did so much damage on the sidewalk, into the street, back on the sidewalk, swerving back into the street trying, as the witnesses say, to hit as many people as possible. 84 dead. that's the number we had yesterday. that's the number today. more than 300 have been taken to the hospital. as of now 121 still remain hospitalized tonight. 26 in intensive care. again, on the investigation front, there have baseball five arrests, trace, including ex-wife of the killer and four men whose identities right now we do not know. back to you now in new york. >> bill live in nice, france. bill, thank you. >> thanks, bill. remembering a fallen hero, thousands honoring one of the five officers killed in dallas earlier this month as he is laid to rest today. >> donald trump officially introducing his running made ahead of the republican national convention.

why he picked indiana governor mike pence and what he brings to the campaign. beyond has a natural

grain free pet food committed to truth on the label. when we say real meat is the first ingredient, it is number one. and we leave out corn, wheat and soy. for your pet, we go beyond.

blue the dog here for propane. you know, i'm just a humble dog. i didn't attend the elite boarding kennels, but i do know that nothing beats the freedom of living out here with propane, people can live where they want, and just as cozy as they want. whether it's a hot bath (no thank you), a warm bedroom, or a perfectly grilled steak. drop it, drop it, drop it proudly independent. proudly american. proudly propane

saying a final fairwell to a fallen hero.

dallas police officer patrick zamarripa being laid to rest. he was one of the five officers gunned down earlier this month in the attack in dallas. officer zim ripa was a father, a husband and iraq war veteran, he was the youngest of the victims killed in the ambush. officer zamarripa would have turned 33 next month. >> well, donald trump makes it official announcing mike pence as vp ending weeks of speculation about the decision. here is the presumptive republican nominee this morning explaining why he chose pence. watch. >> one of the primary reasons i chose mike is i looked at indiana and i won indiana big. indiana, their unemployment rate has fallen when he was there when he started 8.4% when he was governor to less than 8.5% in

may 2016. >> man hit institute, pulitzer prize winning author and journalist and fox news contributor. good to see you. >> hi, trace, good to see you. >> vintage trump, fly pence in on thursday and sits in the hotel and thursday night the tragedy happens in nice. friday there's reports that trump is kind of wavering, right? friday he says, no, this is my guy, tweets out pence is going to be there. today he gets up and really says very little about mike pence. how do you think this went? >> i think given the extent to which the entire thing has been kind of botched, it was rescued at the end by a pretty interesting presentation that didn't tell you very much about the differences between these two men in policy. whereas donald trump prides

himself operating from the gut, that was truly a cerebral decision. this was a decision that was aimed at solidifying the republican conservative base, which he really needed to do. mike pence's conservative credentials are impeccable and that's exactly what donald trump needed even if he might have wanted somebody else with whom he was more simpatico. >> you touched on the top, differences between these guys are vast. they do not agree on same-sex marriage. they do not agree on trade. when donald trump came out with his muslim ban mike pence called it unconstitutional and offensive. clearly there's some big differences between these guys. >> right. there's something that reporters weirdly enough haven't even focused on yet, which i've written about for foxnews.com, which is their different attitudes to reporters. when i went to jail in 2005 to

defend a reporter's right to protect his or her sources, there was very little support from u.s. congress. mike pence when i emerged from jail to defend freedom of the press was right there, invited me to capitol hill and introduced legislation to prevent reporters from being jailed to protect their sources. he fought for that legislation until the last day he left congress. it still hasn't been enacted and obama has been just as bad to the previous administration to reporters as we've seen from fox and risen at my former newspaper but basically mike pence is a guy who likes the media and wants to let the world know it's free. i hope he has influence on donald trump. >> you make a good point.

bottom line mike pence is very, very known for being strong in his conventions he said, look, might be wiggle room on trade. he came out and said mike pence needs to be himself on the thing. seems to me like mike pence, i'm not sure you buy into that, mike pence voted every senile time with free trade. now saying maybe there's wiggle room do you buy the judgment toward mike pence side of the spectrum. >> i buy political necessity. i buy the fact every vice presidential pick has no too make compromises if they want to stand on the stage with the vice presidential nominee. that's exactly what we see happening with mike pence. it's not extraordinary, to be expected. >> great to see you. thank you. >> great to see you. meanwhile the heads of homeland security and fbi are

worried about the possibility of violence during next week's republican convention. straight ahead massive security and potential for chaos. i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine.

now a quick check of headlines donald trump and indiana governor mike pence making first joint appearance as running mates. today in new york city the two men are expected to formally become their party's nominees at next week's republican national convention in cleveland. >> isis, 341-year-old man behind the attack in nice, france, a soldier of the group. his name does not raise any red flags on u.s. terror watch lists. french police arrested five people following that attack. >> faa now banning all flights between the u.s. and turkish cities of ankara and istanbul following yesterday's coup attempt. meanwhile the pentagon says u.s. warplanes stopped flying missions against isis from a base in southern turkey but it's working with turkish officials to resume air operations as soon as possible. >> major protests and marshes

going on in cleveland ahead of the republican convention. inside the arena preparations now in full swing as workers put on finishing touches but outside things could get very tense. the city saying first amendment rights of protesters could be protected as long as they are peaceful. live to mike in cleveland with the latest. hi, mike. >> hello. if you look behind me, the demonstrations are growing in size. we're certainly not to the point we could say we have big demonstrations yet. if you look you can see cornel west, vas, you may remember him from ferguson, black lawyers from justice. they are getting people fired up saying america is unjust, wicked, promotes killing of black men. this particular event is called the convention of the oppressed. some of the people we spoke with here say they will protest both at the dnc as well as rnc

because they think politicians on both sides of the aisle are responsible for the system that makes the rich get richer and poor get hopeless. >> the republicans and democrats basically are puppets of these same corporate puppeteers that created these conditions, by exploiting resources, overworking, underweighing, overcharging and underserving the masses. now the open carry laws in ohio apply to this location, so this is one of the events people can show up with reps and it looks like some of the people did. that's not illegal. where they cannot show up with weapons is the safe zone immediately around quicken loans arena. you can't have people with weapons getting up close to delegates or candidates. we do see police coming and going, bike mounted police, small packs of police officers on foot. according to the direction they are going to keep a low profile, soft profile, meaning just day

to day uniforms. they won't come out in riot gear until needed. >> i'm curious as you walk around the campus in cleveland, is there any noticeable change in the wake of thursday night's attack in nice, france. have they made any judgments you can see? >> you know, it's pretty interesting. i talked with secret service contacts about that they have spent a long time going over tabletop drills, they go through all the hypotheticals of emergencies that could happen. this is such a crude attack, this is something to read between the lines what the agent told me, they would be remiss if they hadn't thought of an attack like that. it doesn't really change what they do, gets wrapped into the massive security plan in place for the event. trace. >> mike, thanks. police in cleveland on high alert ahead of next week's republican national convention, this after a gunman shot and killed five officers in dallas

earlier this month and a horrific terror attack on monday. a number of protests set for cleveland next week. a detective with the cleveland police department, also the president of the cleveland police patrolman's association. mr. lummes, i don't know if you heard it, your satellite just came up so you didn't hear what mike said. i was asking about setbacks, i remember after the world trade bombing and oklahoma city bombing, there were major set barks done across the country. i was wondering in the wake of the attack in nice and such a rudimentary weapon, are there cautions in place around the campus in cleveland that would take that into account? >> yes, there is. there's a lot of classified things going on. this type of event has been well planned for, possibility of the event well planned for by the federal government and all the governmental agencies involved

in this. i don't think we've done anything differently. planned for tragedies and possibilities from the beginning. >> it's interesting, mr. lewis, field producer on the ground in cleveland sent us a list of things that are banned inside the secure area around the convention. the list is really long, including everything from water bottles to tennis balls. is this standard operating procedure or have things been added to the list because of events in recent months and years? >> i think historically this is a pretty consistent list with rnc and dncs and tennis balls are annoying to the horses. so that's why they don't want horses running wild and stomping people. so umbrellas and things like that. what is troubling, you can't have a tennis ball in here but

you have a gun, automatic weapon, open carry. it's perfectly legal but highly irresponsible at this point for anybody on both sides of this equation to have a gun. it's going to make our job much more difficult. >> the next question, you can have a tennis ball or can't have a tennis ball but you can't have a gun, which is clearly disturbing to some people and not others. the question remains, what is your biggest concern? is it the protesters you're worried most about or some outside force? >> from a street level and uniformed officers out there, certainly the protesters. it's not just protesters, supporters as well. our goal, main goal is to get everybody home in the same condition they came here in. the police officers, protesters themselves, trump supporters themselves. that's an ideal world. that's really what we're working for here.

two very, very passionate groop groups of people on opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to their ideologies. the last thing we need is for them to have weapons involved and thrown into that mix. it's going to take the attention away from where we need to have attention. that would be the possibility of a bad guy wanting to do people harm. >> expound on that, if you will. you talked about two very sets of passionate people. when do those passions cross the line? have your officers been trained to say, look, there's a fine line between freedom of speech and crossing over? what is exactly stepping across the line in your opinion? >> well, in our opinion, anything physical. this is a great country. i was in the united states navy, i was all around the world. no better place in the world to live. you can come here and say what you want to say and make your point. you can't throw bricks at the police, try to hurt each other,

try to destroy the city. the city of cleveland is a wonderful place to live. they have turned the corner, great things going on in this city. people of northeast ohio and residents of this city are not going to tolerate that. the police chief is not going to tolerate that. deputy chief ed tomba has done a fantastic job in planning this thing and ensuring that everybody is going to go home in the same condition they came to work in or they came -- and include spectators. a lot of people want to come down and see what's going on. we're going to keep every one as safe as we can, men and women of the police department are going to step up and right up to that department, as well as officers literally from all over the country to help us. >> i'm curious, deck, what do you plan for? i know the estimates about the numbers of people that can be there, they are really all over the spectrum. what are you planning for? is there a number, a range? what's the parameters for your

department? >> well, nobody can really read tea leaves. what we plan for is to be able to identify whatever the issues are that come up very, very quickly and respond very, very quickly, very respectfully. we're going to identify an issue, have a talk with a person or group and make sure they understand ramifications if they go any further than where they are right now. that's fair. we don't deserve to have rocks thrown at us. there's two very passionate groups of people, police officers standing in the middle to make sure they are going to go home in the same condition they came in. that's what we want. >> mr. lewis, is there a point in this process where you talk to the leaders of the group and say, okay, here are ground leaders going forward. >> yes, that's been going on for

months if not years. we have faith-based community leaders. we have legitimate community leaders, we have some not legitimate but legitimate community leaders. everybody is on the same page. nobody wants to see anybody get hurt locally. we don't want to see the city -- any damage to the city. we're more concerned about outsiders coming in that really don't have those concerns or those passions and we're going to deal with them very, very bankruptly if they try to get physical here. the chief has a policy, very public policy, one rock, one arrest. we're going to be ready, willing, and able to enforce that. hopefully we don't have to go down that road. >> detective lewis, we wish you and your department well. thank you. >> thank you very much, sir. i appreciate that. >> absolutely. trace, the turkish president speaking out now delivering new information about the attempted military coup in the country. live in istanbul with the

latest. also, will governor mike pence be the olive branch donald trump needs to rule evangelical voters. a full report straight ahead.

♪ is depression more than sadness? ♪

it's a tangle of multiple symptoms. ♪ ♪ trintellix (vortioxetine) is a prescription medicine for depression. trintellix may start to untangle or help improve the multiple symptoms of depression. for me, trintellix made a difference. tell your healthcare professional right away if your depression worsens, or you have unusual changes in mood, behavior or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. trintellix has not been studied in children. do not take with maois. tell your healthcare professional about your medications, including migraine, psychiatric and depression medications to avoid a potentially life-threatening condition. increased risk of bleeding or bruising may occur especially if taken with nsaid pain relievers, aspirin, or blood thinners. manic episodes or vision problems may occur in some people. may cause low sodium levels. the most common side effects are nausea, constipation and vomiting. trintellix did not have significant impact on weight.

.. many political experts say one of the reasons donald trump chose mike pence as a running mate is because of his evangelical ties to christians. some conservatives say they were disappointed with the way pence bungled a religious freedom bill last year. here is the question, how will trump's vice presidential pick affect evangelical voters if at all. shannon green live in cleveland with the story. hi, shannon. >> reporter: hi. we're at response, prayer and worship. they waa -- a lot of folks say

they are concerned about what's happening in the fall. they are concerned about who they vote for or if they vote at all. many people we talked to today didn't have a strong opinion about governor pence or know who he is. isn't exactly a slam-dunk to the evangelical crowd, at ass not the one heading this event. evangelical activist said trump cannot rely on pence alone to win over this crowd. >> he's a born again believer, a solid guy, and i think, you know, it's probably a great pick. he wasn't my pick. but i do think donald trump is going to have to move it. the vp candidate isn't going to move the constituency so donald trump will have to say the right things and do the right things and i think he will. >> recent'smology among white

evangelicals say he will, 16% say they pick hillary clinton and 16% say they are not sure. they have concerns about mike pence and smarting from what they saw last year when there was a religious freedom bill law that went into effect in indiana. there was a lot of critical pushback lgtbq community and others around the country but these leaders say they worry because pence they perceive caved when push came onto shove and they are worried when religious freedom is in place they won't be able to count on him. we'll see. >> lots of competition with music in the background. cleveland rocks with the republican convention starting in a tum hours now. 72 hours, you're quick on math. more politics and more what's happening over there in turkey with that attempted -- failed coup. back in a moment.

all eyes on cleveland and the buckeye state as republicans get ready for the big convention that kicks off on monday. it could be a big boom for the area. we'll talk to the former ohio secretary of state, clint blackwell. first of all, with all the road blocks and mazes you had to get

to the studio, it was quite the feat. thank you for making it there for us. >> it's good to be with you. >> absolutely. i want to talk about the boon for the area, but we'll talk a couple political questions first. governor kasich, a popular republican governor of ohio not going to the republican national convention. what are american voters to make of this? >> well, look, primaries are a bruising contest. and i think it will take some time for some of the candidates to have their wounds heal and their feelings constructed to a point, reconstructed to a point where they can embrace the ticket. but look, governor kasich is going to be working hard for the ticket because he is concerned about re-electing senator rob portman. so he won't be absent from the ballot, believe me. >> one more political question for you. you know the saying, no republican, the fact that no republican has ever won the

white house without winning ohio. what are trump's chances in ohio? and before you answer that, and donald trump has done everything unconventional as you know, could he be the gop candidate to make it to the white house without >> well, i don't think so. i think he's going to win ohio. look, in all the polling it shows that there is a dead heat in ohio right now. one of the things that i know is that donald trump is speaking to the long shoreman in cuyahoga county. he's talking to the coal miners. he's, in fact, speaking to the small business owners, owners of small family businesses that really are the job producers in this country. so i think what he's going to do is get a great turnout in a republican base in addition to a substantial crossover. there is very much dissatisfaction with hillary

clinton. and all the polling is showing that. >> in the citizens, they are looking towards mr. trump to create jobs. so let's move on and let's talk the mean green for your city and the city of cleveland, of course, first and then we'll get to the state. so as i said everyone there is looking at cleveland, so fill us in on what it's going to take to prepare the city for a presidential convention and what kind of bump do you think this will mean for the local economy there? >> well, given the visibility that the city will get over the next five days, six days, it's going to be a tremendous opportunity for the city to showcase its readiness to establish that it is still a big league city. i think people will be very pleased, one with the level of security and preparedness. i think they will be pleased with the variety of things they can do in addition to enjoying

the spectator sport called politics. look, this is the home of lebron james and the nba champion. and i think cleveland will show itself to be a champion city. >> wish i heard what you said, sir, someone came in my ear just at that time. let me move on. i can't react to what you said, but i'll just keep going. so how does cleveland and the state of ohio benefit after the convention? >> well, look, we have had the benefit of governor kasich, governor kasich has put us on a path of expanded economic growth and job creation. what i think the trump team will do will sort of blend in with the, you know, low taxes, less government, fewer regulations that will in fact allow people to produce jobs and put people back to work, as is the case in michigan, as is the case in indiana, in ohio, people want to

work. and there is a historic tension between the size of government and individual liberty. and donald trump's commitment to embrace the republican agenda that is produced by this convention will put us back on a path of growth and job creation. and it goes without saying, this is going to turn on national security. mothers and fathers and everyone wants to feel safe, not only in their neighborhoods, but in the world. and i think that calls for strong leadership that doesn't call for leadership that will try to lead from behind. donald trump is the kind of leader that will give us strong, clear leadership in international affairs and now he has a running mate in governor pence that understands the world and understands how to work with congress to get things done. we are the majority party in

this country. we can throw more governorships and chambers of state legislatures. we control both chambers of the congress. so we are the majority party. this gives us an opportunity to put icing on the cake. >> mr. blackwell, thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> take care. look at him bragging about lebron. >> i was all prepared to do this and i didn't hear it. there you are, mr. blackwell, congratulations to your cavaliers. a brand new hour ahead including the latest on the trump/pence announcement and the different roles on the campaign trail. ...clear for take off.

hello. i'm arthel neville. >> and i'm trace gallagher. the attempted military coup in turkey complicating america's fight against isis. indiana governor mike pence is stepping on the stage as

trump's running mate. many are praising him as a man of honor and returning the compliment. >> having had the privilege to spend time with this man and his family out of the limelight, i know what all of america will soon know even better. these are good people. donald trump is a good man and he will make a great president of the united states of america. >> the chief political correspondent is live with more. give us the ups and downs. >> reporter: this is a running mate to help trump unify the right. across the board, whether it is evangelical groups, fiscal ly republican groups, some say he didn't stand up for the lbgt

groups last year. but they are behind him either way. on the fiscally conservative side, he did expand medicaid under obama in indiana, but that has been forgiven by the fiscally conservative organizations. he does reassure the republicans and conservatives worried that donald trump's lack of political experience and sort of hands-on the lever type of past in terms of political politics in government that mike pence has been a governor and legislator, in fact one of the republican leaders years ago, can provide that. on the other hand, one of the potential downsides is that donald trump in order to win the presidency will have to win a lot of independent votes and wants to get the bernie democrats and some of the swing democrats that might be available there. and that pence's conservativism, he's a long-time conservative socially and fiscally, and on the hill as the number three in the leadership team, he's a conservative but not angry about it. he gave up negative politicking years ago and will never give

this up against anybody. he's going after clinton on policy but won't call her names in the way that trump called her lying crooked hillary. so swinging democrats isn't helped by mike pence on his ticket, but donald trump has been doing that throughout the course of his career. >> carl is live there in new york for us, thank you. and democrats have no time to react to trump's running mate. many are taking to social media to deliver major criticism. we are live in the newsroom with details. brian? >> make no mistake, the clinton campaign and others are painting mike pence as the most extreme right wing for a vp pick in a generation. the clinton camp says the pence pick doubles down on trump's devisive rhetoric. they are highlighting the tea party roots as one of the movement's earliest advocates painting him anti-immigrant for his opposition of comprehensive

immigration reform, anti-woman for trying to defund planned parenthood and anti-lbgt for his controversial religious freedom bill in 2015. that religious freedom bill is especially a prime target. it received widespread backlash from critics who argued it would have a loud indiana businesses to refuse service and discriminate against gay people on the basis of religious freedom. pence remended that bill but democrats are zeroing in on it. the democratic party purchased the url trump-pence.com. pence is grilled while trying to defend the bill as not a mistake. and on twitter today democratic senator elizabeth warren went to town attacking pence tweeting, among other insults, donald trump and mike pence are a perfect match. two small, insecure, weak men who use hate and fear to divide our country and our people. the clinton camp also releasing

an ad this morning calling trump an indecisive leader mocking him for trying to reportedly change his mind about picking pence at the last minute. it's a report that trump denies. all eyes now turn to speculation over who hillary clinton will pick for her vp ahead of the dnc on monday, july 25th. arthel? >> brian eunice, thank you. >> no problem. a makeshift memorial is growing in nice honoring the victims of thursday's massacre. the death toll remains at 84 but the number of injured is rising to more than 300. this as isis claims the man who plowed his truck into a crowd in the french resort was one of the terror groups, quote, soldiers. we'll go live to bill hemmer in nice, france. bill? >> reporter: trace, good evening again. it's remarkable to think we are only 48 hours removed from the moment when 84 people were run over by a 20-ton truck on the

road behind me. the city of nice opened up this area at daylight earlier today. and they have come, trace, by the thousands tonight. french and foreign tourists have come back to this area and they have brought candles and they have brought flowers and they have brought memories and they have brought tears. by the hundreds they keep streams by the hours and laid the pavement on here where the victims were hit by the truck and died from the injuries at the scene or perhaps were taken to the hospital. so many of them right now are still fighting for their lives two days later. it's been a remarkable moment here throughout the city of nice when you consider the following, you're only two days removed and the road has been reopened. if you get outside in this area, you notice that the city never stopped functioning. the airport was fine. the roads were fine. it's almost as if, trace, you get the sense that three attacks

in 18 months, it is almost a sense of the new normal here in france knowing the threat they face from within. it reminds me of the times we have been reporting in the middle east from the country of israel after a suicide bomb er, oftentimes only hours later that area is cleaned up and all the evidence is taken away. the reason for that is because the israelis have been hit so many times. you get a sense that the french are starting to react in a similar way, and that is very, very disheartening. as for the investigation now, we know that 31-year-old killer claimed the responsibility given out by isis earlier today. isis considers him a, quote, soldier. the interior minister here in france earlier today suggesting that the 31-year-old tunisian must have been radicalized very quickly as he was under the radar of the authorities in the country of france.

four other men were iowa staarr yesterday and his ex-wife was arrested yesterday. we don't have a graph for how he was motivated. was he self-radicalized? in other words, did he see something online to motivate him to act on his own or taking orders from somebody inside the country of france or out of raqqah in syria, the current isis capital? there's a whole lot more to talk about, trace. we'll bring you a special two-hour program next hour. i'll be here live in nice, france. martha mccallum is in ohio. we'll have the latest developments out of turkey at the 5:00 eastern hour. back to you in new york. >> bill hemmer live in nice, france. thank you. >> sure. a fox news alert out of turkey where the attempted military coup there in that country now affecting the u.s. fight against isis. the pentagon says american war planes have stopped flying missions against the terror

group after the turkish government closed its air space to military aircraft. john huddy is live in istanbul, turkey, with the latest. john? >> reporter: well, arthel, that was a turkish air base in southern turkey. the power apparently was cut off. it's unclear why at this point so we wait for detail on that. but this time last night, arthel, basically it became the failed coup attempt. it had just started. and instead of hearing a sound of tanks rolling onto the bridge here spanning the bosphorus and apcs and helicopter gun ships and fighter jets, we're hearing cars that are honking and people cheering, celebrating people going across the bridge with turkish flags waving in celebration again instead of the overall violence. now, that said, the turkish

president said that as fighter jets and helicopters circle overhead, as we know, the presidential house and parliament were both attacked during the overnight hours when this coup attempt was happening. president erdogan who was on vacation at the time when all this went down delivered a televised address via facetime to all the millions of followers calling for his supporters to amass on the streets. and he said to send turkey's democracy, they did. tens of thousands of protesters and police blocked off key bridges and roadways. and the bridges in particular that connect the european and asian sides of istanbul. at least 161 people were kill in the violence, during the violence more than 1,400 others wounded. and both turkeys prime minister

and president erdogan accuse d man from pennsylvania for being linked to this although he denies anything to do with it. president erdogan is becoming more aauthoritarian. so tonight president erdogan demanded not only extradition back to turkey but also the continued arrests of those who may have been linked to and supported the overall attempted coup. as we know the failed coup and the deadly coup. he said it was orchestrated by a minority faction in the military and police. and as we have seen, military and police commanders along with judicial leaders have all been arrested. and you can bet those arrests will continue. so despite erdogan's assurances that his country is back under control, the uprising continues to show, arthel, the instability here in a country that has certainly been fractured by

terrorism as we have seen. but also by ongoing political chaos and instability. arthel, back to you. >> the bosphorus bridge, the beautiful bridge the sight of ugly offense last night. john, thank you so much. the pennsylvania town where the turkish prime minister says the man who was the mastermind behind the coup is now living. these folks waving turkish flags very much against that coup and supporting the turkish prime minister. well, security is also a major concern for the republican national conventional. what is keeping the head of homeland security awake at night? coming up. okay, so what's our latest data say?

time now for a quick check of the headlines. new reports revealing the audio flight recorder from egyptair ms804 that plunged into the eastern mediterranean en route from paris to cairo on may 15th. all 66 people on board were killed. isis is now calling the 31-year-old man behind thursday's deadly attack in nice, france, a soldier of the

group. but his name does not raise any red flags on u.s. terror watch lists. french police have arrested five people following the attack. and the faa now banning all flights between the u.s. and the turkish cities of ankara and istanbul following yesterday's coup attempt. meanwhile, the pentagon says u.s. war planes have stopped flying missions against isis from a base in southern turkey. but its working with turkish officials to resume air operations as soon as possible. well, the eyes of the nation and reporters from around the world are focusing on cleveland as ohio gears up for next week's republican convention. security is very tight considering recent events in the u.s. and overseas the past few days adding to ohio's importance, no republican has ever won the presidency won winning the buckeye state. with us now, ohio secretary of state john huston. mr. secretary, welcome to you, sir. i know you kind of build this as

a bipartisan welcoming committee that cleveland has put out there, but i got to believe the republicans have a lot more fun than the democrats are the next three to four days. >> well, certainly the republicans are planning on having a lot of fun. but the people of cleveland, largely, this effort was led by the mayor of cleveland who is a democrat. and the people of cleveland welcome the political world and welcome all the eyes on cleveland. they have a good story to tell in cleveland and want the world to see it. >> and they have a big banner in cleveland that says world champion cleveland cavaliers, welcome everybody to cleveland. i know it's a great story. what are your concerns about the convention in the coming days? >> well, you know, as an ohioan, i just want to make sure that cleveland puts on a good show. and i also want to make sure that everybody is safe. i know that the security forces, the police and otherwise have been planning for this. but i also know that the people of cleveland want to make sure that their guests are safe. and you're going to have millions of eyes and ears out

there helping law enforcement make sure that things are safe on the ground in cleveland. >> yeah, and it's a good question because you know, you look around and if you have done some homework, if i'm sure your city has, and you have witnessed these trump protests around the nation over the past three or four months, have you looked at those as a training tool for what could be coming to your town in the next three to four days? >> well, absolutely. and there's been a lot of prediscussion about this. so the law enforcement and city leaders are well-prepared for this. they have rehearsed. this is part of the discussion. when you look at local media in cleveland, this is something cleveland is ready for and prepared to make sure it is handled properly. look, they don't want to stifle anybody's opportunity to exercise their first amendment rights but they also don't want property damage or violence to accompany those protests. >> yeah, we talk a lot about

preparing for security concerns and so forth, but there is also the flip side of this. having an event like this in cleveland is kind of like having the super bowl. you have a lot of people coming to your city who have never been there before. a lot of excitement. i mean, cleveland is just putting on a show for these people. what do you want people to leave your city knowing? >> well, cleveland is a fun city, it's the home of the rock and roll hall of fame, but it also is a world champion city. now i want to tell you something, i was there the day that 1.3 million people gathered downtown to celebrate the cavaliers championship. people are excited about the indianas leading the division. it went from league land to title town, they hope, at least, and that excited about the idea of welcoming the world, talking about the great things happening in cleveland, the renaissance and downtown. it's a health care innovation for the world and a place where

they can host huge events like this and handle it and make sure everybody has a great experience. >> yeah, titletown for the first time in half a century. ohio secretary of state, john husted, thank you for being with us. >> great to be with you. meanwhile, the atemperatured coup in turkey now affecting the u.s. campaign against isis. we'll have the latest update from the pentagon on that situation. plus, donald trump officially introducing mike pence as his running mate. why trump says he chose the indiana governor and how much that choice could impact the republicans chances in november.

almost bottom of the hour, time for the top news. donald trump is introducing the indiana governor mike pence as his running mate here this

morning in new york city. the two men sharing the stage in their first public appearance. and a national day of mourning as france holds memorial for the victims of the terror attack. the number of injured rises to over 300. and a failed coup in turkey forcing the pentagon to halt air operations against isis. the u.s. had been using a base in southern turkey which is considered crucial in the military efforts. but u.s. officials say they are working with turkey to resume air operations. you may have heard donald trump officially introduce his running mate in new york city, indiana governor mike pence. but it was not held on a trump property. so is he now working to separate his business empire for his presidential campaign? james rossen is live in cleveland for us with that story. hello, james.

>> reporter: good afternoon. at different times donald trump said different things about what he might do with his sprawling empire if he wins the white house. last august and you'll hear momentarily he told maria bartiromo he would do whatever is appropriate and suggested he might place his interest in a blind trust. that would make little difference, however, since trump's intimate knowledge of his own enterprises would prevent him of becoming truly blind on what might impact them. earlier this year the billionaire envisioned his children running the trump organization. >> in terms of avoiding any conflict, would you put it in a blind trust? how would you deal with it? >> i wou a trust or a blind trust. you know ivanka and my boys and i have a lot of great executives that would run the company. >> in fact, president and vice presidents of the united states are not bound by the same ethic statutes attended upon other executive branch employees. and experts that we consulted

told us nothing would prevent donald trump from serving simultaneously as commander and chief and ceo. kenneth gross, an attorney who advised the likes of daniel moynihan, bob dole and michael bloomberg, said trump's portfolio is larger and my diverse and dependent on structured death than bloomberg's or mitt romney's were. >> if he just wanted to stay ceo of his companies, i don't know of a specific provision of law that would mandate his removal from it. it would be highly irregular but then again mr. trump has done many things people regard as highly irregular. >> now if trump did not divest from his companies, he simply would not be able to use his position as chief executive of the nation to benefit those companies. trace? >> james rosen live in cleveland, thank you. meanwhile, donald trump

heading to cleveland with his running mate after making it official announcing indiana governor mike pence as his choice for vice president. this ends weekends of speculation about that decision and here's the presumptive nominee this morning explaining why he chose pence. >> now i think if you look at one of the big reasons that i chose mike, and one of the reasons is part of unity, i have to be honest. so many people have said party unity. because i'm an outsider. i want to be an outsider. i think it's one of the reasons i won in landslides. >> let's talk about this now with radio fox news host and the director of the new york democratic party and former senior aide to then senator hillary clinton. good to see both of you. i'm going to start with you today, tammy, i want to talk about the vp pick.

about governor pence. how much does this choice, how much does this add to the steam with which donald trump is going to roll into the convention? >> well, it helps on a number of different fronts. but the thing that it said to me immediately is it matched what he said months ago what would matter the most. someone that can deal with congress. mike pence is beloved in congress by his colleagues. and that's going to matter. it tells the american people that mr. trump is serious about wanting to get things done, wanting to work with congress, wanting to actually govern. now mike pence's demeanor as well is very different than mr. trump's. it's a good match in that regard. mr. trump can be himself and we have somebody who also is going to disagree with him in the past. it shows you mr. trump is not afraid of that, so we will likely not to think dynamic. it is very good. he has a good history in indiana. i think we'll be in good shape. >> couple things, when you said group think, i said, hmm, do you

think donald trump has a strong mind and he's got a strong will, do you think that donald trump will actually listen to some of those differences that are -- would be complimentary that tammy pointed out? do you think president trump would listen to vice president trump on those points? >> not at all. i think the reason mike pence is there to make the republican establishment happy. i think donald trump's campaign was based on running against republican orthodoxy running as an outsider and he chose the ultimate insider as his vice president. he may be beloved in some respects, but he's not beloved in his own state. he's having a problem running for re-election as governor in the reddest of the midwestern red states. that says something and should say something. he's ultraconservative. he's anti-lbgt, anti-women, and to me having chosen someone like mike pence to be his running mate seems to be contradictly more than complimentary to his

narrative. >> tammy, you see governor pence as a propellent. bazil think he's going to drag down the ticket. >> what helps everyone, whether gay or straight, black or white, young or old, whoever you are is a good economy and a safe nation with law and order to where you can actually not have to worry about your kid if they walk to school, to where you can actually enjoy your neighborhood or don't have to worry someone is going to blow themselves up in the mall. these are key right now. the next president has to be a wartime president and it will be the economy. and these are the things that every american cares about regardless of where they are socioeconomically. i know you have people -- i know you have a dynamic with mr. obama or mrs. clinton surrounding themselves with people who only agree, mr. trump is going to have a team of

people by default because he's an outsider of people who will challenge where he's going in the white house. >> quite frankly, i don't see lbgt issues or women's issues as boutique issues. what drives women issues in the country, what drives gender politics in the country drives the american economy. that's why the democrats have talked about the fight for 15 -- for $15. they talk about family paid leave. those are not just specific to women, but certainly what we do -- >> $15 an hour and paid family leave matter when you have a job. you have to have a job for those things to matter. >> hang on a minute, guys. i love you both. you have to listen, you know i like both of you very, very much. all right. time up. i want to look at campaign spending. in fact, we're going to take a look at the latest, as of may 31st, i have a graphic for you there. campaign spending, clinton,

$195.7 million to trump's $63.2 million spent. this is not including super pacs, leadership pacs and nonprofits. there's so much talk about how little trump's camp has spent that after the convention he's going to unleash the restraints and start spending more money. will this happen? and does he need to? >> well, i think clearly you need to be able to communicate in that fashion with the american people via commercials, et cetera, but i will point out, in the last few months she's spent $57 million. tens of millions on ads against mr. trump. this is why the republican establishment got worried because he wasn't countering them. but within the last month, we have seen the q poll and other polls that have shown him closing the gap in swing states, florida, pennsylvania and ohio. in pennsylvania, arthel, he is moving up 12 points with women and he has spent no money. so in this dynamic with him spending nothing and her tens of

millions of dollars, she's losing her firewall and losing in the swing states. that's an undeniable fact. >> i would challenge that just by saying the very next day another poll came out and said she was four to five points ahead in a swing state. i would also add states like north carolina, indiana, new hampshire, all states that -- indiana and new hampshire, particular, north carolina, where barack obama lost, he won in 2008, those are in play for democrats again. i do think the map has changed substantially. >> he has spent nothing. >> exactly. he has no operation. >> she can only claim she's tied. >> you have to love tammy bruce and bazil michael. they always bring it when they come. >> fist bumps across the hall. that was great. three days of mourning underway in france as the country reels

from the third major terror attack in 19 months. what we are learning about the man behind the attacks and if there were any warning signs. plus, how political instability in turkey is already threatening the u.s.-led campaign against isis in syria and iraq. it's a good thing that you are working with humana and your doctor to maintain your health. because in 5 days, 10 hours and 2 minutes you are going to be 67. and on that day you will walk into a room where 15 people will be waiting... 12 behind the sofa, 2 behind the table and 1 and a half behind a curtain. family: surprise! but only one of them will make a life long dream come true. great things are ahead of you when your health is ready for them. at humana, we can help you with a personalized plan for your health for years to come. youthat's why you drink ensure. sidelined. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you.

and let's head to martha mccallum on a special edition of "america's newsroom." hi, martha. >> hey, arthel. we have wide coverage as mike pence is about to arrive at a hometown rally. to welcome back the governor now that the vp is on trump ticket, we'll go there live to meet where bill is covering the very latest from isis in terms of their take on this killer and the investigation on the horrific situation there. also, we'll go to turkey where the failed coup may or may not be good news for isis and

good or bad news for europe. we'll talk about that when bill and i explain from myself and cleveland at the top of the hour. >> we'll look forward to it, thank you, martha. >> thank you, guys. see you then. supporters are holding a rally for governor mike pence after formally accepting donald trump's invitation to join him on the republican ticket in new york as martha said. that rally is expected to get underway at 5:00 eastern time. and she and bill will have all the details for you. well, isis is now claiming responsibility for the deadly attack in the french resort city of nice as france mourns another massacre on its soil. critics lash out after security forces fail to prevent the attack. france was still under a state of emergency after previous isis terror attacks. now some are wondering if more needs to be done. let's bring in bill gavin, a former assistant director of the fbi in new york and former chief

executive for the fbi in new york, miami and denver. bill, great to see you. isis is now calling this killer in france a soldier, right? do you think that this guy was radicalized? do you think isis is just taking responsibility because it's a big banner event? what do you make of this? >> it's so difficult to tell at this particular point in time, trace. they call him a soldier. and say that he was committing this act of terrorism against a country that's in coalition against isis. but by the same token, to date there hasn't been an extreme amount of information coming forth that shows that he was -- how he was radicalized, self-radicalization or received it from somebody else. that still has to be flushed out. but what gets me is we have isis calling this man a soldier in a war against the west. they realize it's a war.

we have a president in the white house who is not a wartime president. he's still into flower power and whatever he did before he became a politician. this is terrible. he's got to get on a wartime footing to stomp this crisis out and where it originates. he's not doing that and we're going to have these type of incidents that will go on forever. until somebody grabs the reigns. >> the administration would counter that by saying they are doing as much as they can, they have air strikes and allies in unison. you know, the french president now saying that france has an uptick in air strikes against isis in syria and iraq. so what's the argument that you would say, what is the declaration of war? how does that improve our posture in going after isis? >> the uptick, bill, is they are doing it after each one of these incidents. i'm sorry, they are doing it after each one of these incidents. and trace, they have to do it on a continued basis.

they have all the power. how many times did we read that american flyers went into targets and weren't allowed to drop their ordinance because of that whole bugaboo of collateral damage. there's 84 dead people and 300 injured that are collateral damage that the other side doesn't care about. we have to go in and take them out where they are training people, where their stronghold is, that's the only way you're going to stomp this whole thing out. there will be some collateral damage. but we have to face that and get brave about it. >> bill gavin, great insight, thank you, sir. good to see you. and the turkish government reasserting control after a failed coup attempt. but now the war against isis is taking a hit. the details and what the u.s. can do about it ahead. plus, donald trump naming indiana governor mike pence as his running mate. what he brings to the republican ticket and the role he might play on the campaign trail. if you run everyday,

welcome back. the reported attempted coup is putting missions against isis on hold. peter cook saying today, quote, in part, the turkish government has closed its air space to

military aircraft and as a result air operations at incirlik air base have been halted at this time. the u.s. officials are working with the turks to resume air operations there as soon as as possible. in the meantime u.s. central command is adjusting flight operations in the counter isil campaign to minimize the effect on the campaign around u.s. facilities operating on internal power sources. the loss of commercial power to the base has not effected base operations. very important to note there. turkey is a key middle east ally and an important member of the coalition fighting isis. john kerry saying that has not changed. listen. >> as of this moment turkey's cooperation with us in our nato

operations all of that has continued as before. >> let's talk about this now with jim walch. president obama reit taiting that the united states has support for turkey. so such instability still present in turkey and within the ranks of the turkish military what do you think is going to happen and how do you think this is going to effect the overall fight with isis. >> i think it is likely to effect it at least in so far as you right now you have the turkish military attempting to stage a coup against the elected president in turkey therefore one would expect at a minimum the military is deeply divided and there will probably be trials and actions against the military involved. a lot of people are going to be

looking over their shoulders to see if they're going to be put up on charges and i would think that would have an effect on turkish's military. if the military is going to be con suld with internal problems that means they'll be focusing on that and not other problems in the region like isis. >> as you know one of the weakest security links is turkey's boarder with syria and iraq. did those so-called road military personnel who attempted this coup did they have a valid concern that under erdogan's authority that will remain insecure. >> that's correct especially in years gone by turkey turned a blye eye to extremists who were crossing the boarder and they did that because the turkish government was anti-assad so anyone regardless of their point of view who was willing to fight assad they were willing to allow

across that boarder. turkey started to clamp down on the boarder an just last week turkey said it was going to change its policy towards syria. it didn't spell out what in particular but it seemed as if it was on the move. my guess is that despite all these dramatic foreign policy moves over the past couple of weeks this was about internal politics rather than external foreign policy. preside i think there's a feeling that the turkish president was increasingly taking on power and was turning into an autocrat and the military might have felt they better act before they lose any chance of acting. again i don't endorse that coup at all but i think it's likely it's that sort of logic rather than a concern about the fight against isis that might have motivated the military to act. >> okay. i want to switch over to travel

because as we have been reporting as well that the faa is now banning all flights between the u.s. and ankara and istanbul. there's some residents already -- u.s. residents already there in turkey and many often travel back and forth for business. so what's your advice to those who would be traveling later once the ban is lifted? should people feel safe to travel to turkey? >> i can answer that question very personally because my wife and i are planning on going to turkey in another two weeks for a u.s./turkey meeting and i still plan on going. the fact that there was the coup i don't think has any direct apply occasi implications for every day security on the streets and hotels. yes, there was that terror attack at istanbul airport some weeks back but i think in general as a likelihood it's a very very very small chance that

any american would be put at risk by traveling to turkey once that ban is lifted and i would encourage people if they have concerns go on the state department website because they will put out safety advisories if they think americans are in danger. my guess is it's going to be perfectly fine to travel there but it's probably not going to happen for days, weeks, something like that. >> okay. thank you very much for your expertise and safe travels to you and your wife. >> thank you. we are awaiting governor and now presidential candidate mike pence back to his home state of indiana. we'll bring it to you live moments from now. tired of re-dosing antacids? try duo fusion! new, two in one heartburn relief. the antacid goes to work in seconds... and the acid reducer lasts up to 12 hours in one chewable tablet. try new duo fusion. from the makers of zantac. now you can't spell nutriam i right?t nut,
