welcome become. please join me in welcoming nbc news political director and moderator of "meet the press" chuck todd, who has a preview of today's show. hi, chuck. happy father's day. hopefully you can enjoy the rest of your day after done with work. you have an exclusive interview with former vice president mike pence. what an extraordinary get. he sat down with you for his very first sunday show interview since announcing his candidacy for the 2024 presidential race. i'm curious to know, what foot he appears to be starting on as he kicks off his campaign. what were some key takeaways from your perspective? >> well, look, he's -- he's comfortable talking about his issues with donald trump, right? not everybody is. there's some people who think how come he doesn't go harder here or there? but he says very point blank,
7:14 am
i'm running because donald trump asked me to pick him over the constitution and i wouldn't do it. so he believes that's his best sales pitch. when you ask him, what is your campaign against him, he believes that donald trump is not a real conservative. but i did ask him, okay, you know, how are you going to win over a majority here? right now, trump is mad at you, so trump supporters are mad at you, how do you win them over? he didn't have a good answer. he didn't have an answer yet. i think he simply -- it sounds like hope is his strategy. he hopes that republican voters take a look at everybody, take a look at the former president and decide he can't win. that seems to be what he's hoping for. but he's careful with when and how he will go after trump. even on the indictment. we said, we don't know that he's guilty yet, so he wasn't ready to entertain the pardon discussion. so it's a -- there is a lot of
7:15 am
contradictions when it comes to the pence candidacy, which makes it so interesting. >> yeah, he must have to stay in a gray area not to isolate his former supporters when he was on a team with trump. but also win over trump voters at the same time. before i let you go, congratulations on your announcement of your retirement. we will miss you. >> thank you. >> thanks, chuck. we hope you join us for chuck's show this morning with his interview with former vice president mike pence. you can see it right after our news cast at 8:00 a.m. coming up, we'll talk to larry gerston for our weekly segment and look at legislatures' sponsored trips, and if they're fact finding missions or political junkets. news out of uganda where armed rebels attacked a school,

7:39 am
urgency as we were getting married, that i don't have to worry about that any more, because it says on that piece of paper that we legally are joined. >> reporter: since the 2015 supreme court ruling struck down all state bans on same-sex marriage, couples are now free to marry in all 50 ates. saban and jewel say they travel around the country without fear. >> the bridges haven't crumbled, hell and fire and damnation hasn't happened. in fact, a lot of love and joy and delight in each other. >> reporter: it's been 14 years since the pair and thousands of other california same-sex couples officially tied the knot. for saban and jewel, there are still many pages in that album left to fill. >> and the pink triangle is back in san francisco. the finishing touches were put

welcome back. new this morning, many spouses lie to one another about their financial situation. more than 39% say they have been financially unfaithful, according to a survey by bankrate.com. some said lying about money is just as bad or worse than cheating on a spouse. one analyst we spoke with says financial infidelity begins with a small secret purchase and spirals into behavior that can go as far as having a secret bank account. >> i think the important thing is for spouses to be aware of their family's finances. so even if you are not the person who is managing the budget or paying the bills, you want to have some sort of active

involvement. that might mean looking at the bank statements on a monthly basis. having conversations with your spouse about the money. >> again, 52% of u.s. adults surveyed say financial cheating is at least as bad as physical cheating. 12% believe it's worse. my husband has all my financial information, so there's nothing going on here. at 7:48 right here, last year in california, state legislators collectively took nearly $1 million worth of free travel sponsored by interest groups. most of the time representatives of the sponsoring groups attended the trips as well, and also happen to have interest in legislation relative to their organizations. nbc bay area it will call analyst larry gerston joins us now. good to see you. how are these trips even coordinated and organized? >> good morning, kira.
7:50 am
happy father's day to all the dads out there. so we go on with other things. this is a story that not too many people know about, kira, but there are numerous interest groups in sacramento. lobbyists everywhere. they're there to get their cause codeified into some sort of law. so many organize these trips. some are abroad. for example, looking at wind farms in portugal that might be adopted in california. some are local, such as a recent trip to seattle and portland, where some legislators viewed waste disposal. these are opportunities for the interest groups to go ahead and send these people to these places to get a better idea of what's going on. let me tell you something, it happens a lot. last year, 81 legislators attended more than one, at least one of these kinds of trips.
7:51 am
that's 2/3 of the body. now, it's free to taxpayers, no cost, but you get an idea of the attempt to show these people of something they hope will be turned into law. >> i just heard you say there is no cost to the taxpayers, which is great to hear. but suspect there a problem there? >> there could be. you know, often times as we said a minute ago, what turns out to be a little innocent trip turns out to be the basis for legislation. that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, but it shows some folks have a little more interest and success in others, when you can convince people that what they do becomes law. this is a bonding opportunity for members of these groups to go ahead and get close to legislature without having any other things on the docket. there's one thing that's clear
7:52 am
here. these things don't always become law, but it does show that some people have a certain inroad that the rest of us don't have. >> yeah, it's like if you have the money, you have the access. so are these trips fact finding missions? i'm sure you can't say across the board, or are they what my husband would call boondoggles? >> oh, my gosh, junkets. there's some truth to that. nobody will admit this, but there's some fun times for everybody. i don't know where you draw the line, but clearly these are situation where is people learn things they wouldn't necessarily learn in sacramento. but you know what? they often are having a pretty good time while doing it. so whether this is the kind of thing that we should dismiss, i'm not sure. but we should certainly be aware of where these things happen.
7:53 am
here is the other thing. these interest groups almost always get away without disclosing it to the fair political practice commission. there's a law but it's very loosey-goosey. that's what we may want to look at down stream. >> we'll have to leave it there. a very interesting final note, larry. i was remiss not to wish you a happy father's day. hope you have a beautiful day. thank you for joining us. it's 7:52 right now. a quick look at the top stories, including a driver lucky to be alive after being pulled from a fiery crash in the east bay. we'l have thel l
