obviously i'm partial to doug burgum.ed earlier, there are a lot of good choices he has out there to help him. whoever that will be will help him unify not just this party but the country and strengthen this nation moving forward for sure. >> so alex, one of the things that's been talked about repeatedly throughout this is the age of both of the candidates. it's focused a lot more, i think, on obviously the president but the former president is 78 years old. he will be 82 if he is -- or 83 if he is reelected and serves out his full term. and that has led a lot of people to speculate that they need to look at this in a different way. do you think that they are looking at this in a different way, the role, the voters are looking at the role of the vice president differently, and that that has impacted donald trump's decision. >> obviously don't, and obviously, you know, after the events over the weekend, i think everyone thought, my god, what if the unthinkable had actually happened, and you know, clearly that's what the vi

it is not doug burgum, it is not marco rubio.y have been told they are not former president donald trump's vp pick. what we don't know is who the pick is and the anticipation is building. probably in the next couple of hours we will know. but that is the excitement of the hour and obviously everything that folks are talking about all over the country, especially there and milwaukee. >> bill: talking about that and some of these delegates last night is interesting. a few women from wisconsin i asked how they were doing and normally when you come to a convention that delegates are jacked up and ready to support their candidates. he or she or whoever they may be. and these ladies, they were quite low-key. i said is everything okay? and they reflected on the events on saturday and they said we just want to have the appropriate attitude going into this and i think you will get a sense of that up until the moment when the vp is revealed and there is a good chance that trump makes a cameo inside that arena tonight and i think that will

governor doug burgum and his wife.hey met through mutual friends and then all of a sudden, the doug burgum, the businessman, says, i'd like to get into politics. well, sometimes i have called myself the accidental first lady because it was never on my radar. and going for the gold again. simone biles is heading to paris to compete in the olympics for i'm one with the earth. i'm totally changing my persona live on television. >> lawrence: cowboy boots. >> brian: i may not leave north dakota. >> katie: got to get the hat, the full fit. >> brian: i need a chin strap. >> steve: the governor is going to be joining brian live there at the diner as well. so we have got a busy three hours that starts right now with this: we had heard that joe biden was going to be hold up at camp david yesterday with his family. and the initial reports were that they were going to discuss what is going on. actually, they got together for a photo shoot with vogue magazine. annie l liebovitz. they weren't going to talk about joe's future because

and this is -- guys, a round of applause for governor doug burgum.e] >> brian: great to see you, governor, thanks so much for coming down. so i watched you on the sunday shows yesterday on meet the press. they have the same interview with you every week. what about january 6th? and will you accept the results of the election? are you surprised? >> no. >> brian: why do they have that theme over and over again? >> i think after the disastrous debate performance by joe biden on thursday night, they had nothing to talk about. joe biden is wrong on all the issues that matter. you heard it here this morning in north dakota. the border, the economy, inflation, national security, he has got no answers on all those, and so they have to just turn around and try to attack president trump about stuff that's four years ago. >> brian: so they are trying to go after his advisers have been with him for 20 years, ron klain and anita dunn. but you point out that ron klain is the chief of staff. but he is acting like the chief of staff outside the white house, still, b

i'm going to go with doug burgum or not to be a copycat. u don't call her, "sir" and we are good. >> there has to be a personality fit. you look at burgum's experience before he was the governor, he is a very well-respected business executive. from one business executive to another, i think that trump would look to burgum to be that number two. i want someone who can run the country. i do believe that burgum has that clout and that foreign policy experience. i can see trump leaning on him for that. when you are an executive, you are not just going out cutting deals. it's about relationships. it's about understanding different cultures. i think that burgum brings out as well. >> we do not show people into boxes. there is the import of certain voting populations, african american, hispanic. >> i didn't expect to be the contrary in on the couch today. i was supposed to be your job. actually, i like all the options. i don't think he can go wrong with anyone who has been mentioned. i think you are referring to senator tim scott who speaks to a vo

what is your big takeaway from doug burgum? do you think he is likeable and real?n you get to meet the politicians, are they real? are they someone that can attract the greater american public? >> brian: a couple of i think thises. you will see part two of the interview with catherine. we will post them all. he's real. he took the template our founding fathers wanted. go do your thing, whether in printing, being a farmer and your way of giving back is to serve. he's looking at the governor's mansion as place to serve. he realizes how much he likes it and wants to get back. his family has been serving in north dakota back to the 1880s. his grandmother was marching with susan b anthony and sitting bull. his mom got involved. his dad was a military man. he decided to go to stanford and learn business and silicon valley. put his money together and got investors, mortgaged the farm and bought a software company and with real estate, did it again. now how do i help. he knows energy, he knows farming and the rural business, he has the washington thing, he's got a lot. he

doug burgum joins me next. picks doug burgum joins me next.d h a thing called the debat >>> did anybody last night watch a thing called the debate? many people are saying that after last night's performance that joe biden is leaving the race, but the fact is i don't really believe that because he does better in polls than any of the democrats. >> welcome back. in virginia on friday, former president trump tried to capitalize on president biden's debate performance while casting concerns over whether he'll drop out of the race. joining me now, governor doug burgum, a top fiest to will be mr. trump's running mate. good morning. welcome back to "meet the press." >> thank you. good to be here. >> let's talk about donald trump's debate performance. three times he refused to say he would accept the results of this election. he still has not conceded the 2020 election. you have said that joe biden is legitimately elected president. so let me ask you. should donald trump as the presidential nominee unequivocally accept the election results? >> well, k

to come and who is going to be the top three contenders we are still told north dakota governor doug burgum senators marco rubio, and senators jd vance and wolf. as soon as we have any details, i will come back and update you know, you will kristen holmes. thank you very, very much. and we'll be right back. >> anderson cooper 360 tonight at 8:00 on cnn with car gurus, you can start your financing from home if only you could do things your way all the time. maybe someday get up with gurus

and doug burgum?down there right now. >> greg: i like doug burgum i look at his eyebrows i keep waiting for them to turn into butterflies. [laughter] trump's victory is far from guaranteed, that's what you have a look at the debate has a perfect moment of how this next six months should go. let's delete joe biden talk and it side with the audience and look and look bemused. the dems want trump to antagonize the independents and play to the hoaxes of orange hitler, he should be perversely normal. dramatically undramatic. take a page out of burgum and to be boring. this isn't my idea i think this is scott adams idea, he should hold small meetings with democrats who have tds. face-to-face conversations with four or five people to discuss the hoaxes the dems have amplified to. so you can have people there and he can sit there and go what about the fine people on both sides? you said to drink bleach you said there would be a federal ban on abortion -- we all have met trump, we know what he's like. in perso

finally, doug burgum looks like george washington and he'd be a great presidential choice and trump saidant somebody that can be president and he looks the part. >> i have a question for you, i'm so sorry, do you think that tulsi fills that rfk vibe that applies to voter s? >> for sure. >> yeah, politics isn't usual. the thing haves changed especially, jason, since you served in congress. this isn't the same political system as we know it and it's been reshaped and reformed and what's your thoughts on who would be a great pick? >> i think americans are striving not to just have somebody that look as person way. i think they want confidence. and i think they want competence and you have to have a good working relationship with trump and loyal to him and maga agenda and two other people should be on there, john radcliff and former director of national intention and former congressman from texas and was a u.s. attorney and other is robert o'brian who just wrote kind of the definitive piece of peace through strength and he was his national security adviser and briefed the president on a regu

and that is when they threw a bit of a fit and shouldn't pick doug burgum. and as once source described it said it, j.d., j.d., j. d. over the last several days trump informed doug burgum and marco rubio, it wasn't going to them, informing them yesterday and rubio had gone to see trump on friday and trump in that conversation all three of them last week and in the case of rubio, rubio himself brought up objections to -- to being a vice presidential candidate because he was worried it might cause legal -- legal problems for trump in terms of the constitution saying that electors can't vote for a president and vice president from the same state. it's complicated stuff. basically he went to trump and said i don't want to be blamed or held responsible. i think he knew he wasn't going to deget it. bottom line as kelly anne conway got back to where he started. as far as getting past some of those things j.d. vance has said, you know, way back when, trump likes nothing more than the zeal of a convert. i don't think that's unusual. it would have been impossible to f

where rupert murdoch, of course, the chairman emeritus of fox core was calling on but a half of doug burgum, he was someone who had been advocating for him. he was in his corner and certainly wanted to see burgum on the ticket with donald trump meanwhile, for ohio senator jd vance, he had people like elon musk on his side who were pushing for him in total donald trump, they thought he would be better suited to serve as his vice president should he be re-elected in november, it really became a to a degree, a battle of the billionaires in the last several weeks. as donald trump was weighing these pigs. and who would be the best running mate for him? jake, all those would colleagues, thanks so much coming up as we await donald trump's running mate announcement, we're also counting down to it it's official nomination here at the republican national convention in milwaukee, wisconsin. our coverage continues right after this quick break cabinet and the resolution is adopted what does it mean to be outfront? it's going there. we are just about three miles from the gaza border. it's context and cur

vance, north dakota governor doug burgum all still in the mix.from washington, a former campaign: your cap -- campaign communications director for donald trump great to see you, thanks for coming on the program. >> thanks for having me, great. lewis: run us through your thoughts on the vp pick. >> listen, i think from everything i've heard from the people i talked to in the feeling that president trump is going to most likely pick j.d. vance, the u.s. senator from ohio. my understanding is his appeal to the young people is going to play a significant role. he is 39 years old, you will be the second youngest vp in american history. that in itself is a step in the direction of including the youth vote from which has been drifting away from the democratic party. j.d., the senator hits a good message. he comes from basically poor, working class roots and he worked his way up. he is a veteran. he carried suburban districts in ohio, which at one point was considered a swing state. from a plus to the campaign, j.d. seems to hit several key landmarks pre

the other potential top contenders, north dakota governor doug burgum. and ohio senator j. d. vance. mr trump says he is pretty well set. and who he would like to pick. but he says he's not going to be announcing that until closer to next week's republican national convention in milwaukee. and looking at the latest polls viewed cbs news you gov. polling shows trump ahead. in some key battleground states among likely voters last month. 50% biden 49%. trump, now 48% biden 51%. trump. there's also some concern amongst some democrats that the lack of enthusiasm for president biden could dribble down the ticket if voters decided to sit this 1 out affecting their ability to control congress. so there is certainly a lot at stake >liz>here list. yes, there is. it's not just about the presidential race. it's about all the other races that could be impacted by this right. an thanks so much. alright, coming up, we'll ask a bay area political expert do democrats need to make a change now and if not joe biden, then who could beat donald trump? we'll be right back. >>>>trickle >>down what w

don't take anything with this but doug burgum has dropped 22 cents to 2 cents.ht now based on what -- >> how recent -- >> now doug burgum -- >> how recent was that drop? there is a report -- >> just happened. >> there is a report that happened within the past couple of minutes from the fox news network that doug burgum has been told he's not the selection. >> that's what i mean. he's down across the wires. >> i can't confirm that either but that is out there from another media outlet. that might be moving those markets. >> that's what i thought happened. jd vance up 26 cents and youngkin is up 15 cents. he got as high as 50 cents. he's only 19 cents right now. >> did you say 50 cents? >> all of the -- >> different than 50 cent. >> all the scuttlebutt is right around vance. >> from around cincinnati. >> the question is if that jives with what donald trump wants. donald trump had a famously contentious end of his relationship with previous vice president mike pence with crowds on january 6th calling for the hanging of mike pence and the two men splitting bitterly

governors doug burgum and glenn youngkin. trump is likely to tease his choice at the rally in beutler, pennsylvania today that is where we find alexis mcadams. >> this is going to be the final plan for president trump takes to stage at this rally in pennsylvania before he is still milwaukee for the republican national convention. trump is still teasing american who is going to pick for his vice president. we are going to get into more on that and a second pair people we talked on the ground at this very important swing state said they want to hear from trump on a variety of issues including the border crime and the economy, watch. >> what is your top issue? >> the border i think is a big wooden piglets and gas, groceries, basically the cost of living everything is gone up and the american people can't take it no more. i got sticker shock of the started to try to buy more groceries and cook at home is absolutely useless. >> a days away from the rnc trump is still talking about a possible vp pick so who was on the short list fo

i tried to get an answer out of doug burgum. he went so far as to suggest that there have been conversations. i'm sure there have. who's your i mean, who do you think he's going to pick? if you had to make a bet that the story is right, we about a month ago on this panel, i think i said it would be burgum, marco rubio or jd vance. i think burgum provides the personality complement to donald trump. he provides the midwestern governor. he provides a lot of assurances to a lot of people loyalty, loyalty, familiar. i know it sounds a lot like vice president mike pence. marco rubio provides, i think, the most substance as far as understanding international foreign policy. jd vance is a mini me, so i don't know which way he's going to go. last 10s christina, final thoughts on what you're watching for in veepstakes. well, obviously we're telemundo. we're watching to see if marco rubio gets it. he would be the first hispanic. it would be a history making decision. and obviously we're watching how he justifies what he said about trump be

shortlist report will include senators jd vance, tim scott, and marco rubio as well as governors doug burgum and glenn youngkin. trump would like to announce his running mate in the next few days. likely drink next week's republican national convention in milwaukee or he will become the official gop presidential nominee. >> the republican party is completely unified behind donald trump is our candidate and obviously while democrats eat their own, we are going into a convention with a lot of momentum we are going to come out of it on a very high note. arthel: alexis mcadams is in beutler, pennsylvania. >> we are waiting to see former president trump get up on that stage by me. the final rally before he heads to the republican national convention to people's need to talk about how it's going to pick as his vice president. he's looking for someone who can help them get reelected watch. >> the choice will be very, very good. it will be a great vice president meeting a person who can do a fantastic job as a president but you always have to think of that first. and then second, someone who hopes t

vance, doug burgum and marco rubio, what do you think of those three?ler: i don't think they are viable. we don't need any more career politicians there if trump will reduce the size of government and do the things that his plan he needs more libertarian minds like vivek. host: alright,. howard in oregon, independent. caller: thanks for taking my call. i would like americans to take a look at this convention and the one coming up and be reminded that the republican and democratic parties are essentially private organizations, billion-dollar organizations with a b, they take in billions of dollars and spend millions of dollars, these events they can come up with, i feel like the two parties are holding this country hostage. if you look at a parliamentary system where you have basically coalitions, they are forced to cooperate with each other, all factions, all voices, that is a much better system. nowhere in the constitution is there any mention of the two-party system, so it is by default that we have come to this, mostly because of money and holding po

vance, doug burgum, marco rubio. we remembered donald trump and the radio show about a week ago including tim scott as being still among those being considered. is there one you think is gaining traction more than any other? >> when i talk to sources, people point to j.d. vance. it's interesting because at the same point, i hear a lot of republicans say they don't understand what j.d. vance would bring to the ticket, saying he's another, you know, white male. his popularity is not soaring in ohio. you bring over pennsylvania. it's not very clear where former president trump is going to go, but a lot of people -- i have been hearing j.d. vance rising in the ranks. there's been reports alluding to that as well. >> with regard to what donald trump is allegedly doing, rewriting his acceptance speech, if you heard specifics about the changes he might be making? >> i have not. this will be interesting because this is a candidate who shortly after he was shot at, you know, with blood on his face, raised his hand and we perc

donald trump junior hearing that his dad was considering other people like north dakota governor doug burgum, went in and made it personal appeal again to his dad to put vance on the ticket believing that he would be the best for him and notably, given that influence and said clearly how it impart worked with his father. he was interviewed donald trump junior was by axios earlier this morning, who was asked what he, his thoughts were on staffing for a potential second? can trump term. what that would look like if you'd be recommending anyone else for his father's administration, he said he didn't necessarily want to pick people to be a jobs, but he wanted to have veto power over certain britain people that he did not believe should be in there. and senator vance himself has also been questioned on this when he once wrote that he wanted to be able to fire every mid-level bureaucrat and replace them with people who are loyal to trump, arguing that that was something that worked against him during his first time in the white house. i was something that abc is george stephanopoulos. question him

figures in the republican party. whose names were mentioned, such as tim scott, who is a senator doug burgum, who is the governor of south dakota, and vance , unlike all of them , will not leave trump alone in the decisive moments of history. we used to talk to each other. after trump's side , we had an analysis of how the democrats and republicans want to manage the matter, what direction they will take , it will be more beneficial for both sides. done what do you think , how did the democrats under the leadership of biden and trump manage the scene in these two days for their own benefit. at the moment, trump has shown attention to making his tone more moderate. you said that this is positive. if he does this , it will benefit him. yes, it has been like this for the past two days. it was trump's relatives who , of course, did not name him, but he said that this person close to trump turned out to be in the hospital bed, that his personality has completely changed and now he is a moderate person who seeks to unite the american people. the democrats seem to be ready to give trump a little he

doug burgum is trump's best v.p.storic legacy and they talk about your rich background and sysh synergy you have. are they right or wrong? >> president trump has opportunity to establish legacy, he is so successful at business and as executive leading our country, hes so successful and voters remember that. he has a chance to come back with seasoned experience, we've never had a chance to elect someone like this who had that kind of success. what he's done with republican platform is also historic. it is lost. he won rocky knockout in the debate and buried behind that you have it is, he the republican party more unified and aligned. the platform is about things every american cares about. making america affordable, safe, strong. it is inspirational, only platform in any of our lifetimes you have been able to read and understand. when you talk about policies, it is simplified. when you talk to americans that are voting, his coalition is actually people who have a paycheck. that is the coalition, no longer the identity

. >> we're going to talk about that with north dakota governor doug burgum who was on mr. trump's vp short list, you'll remember, in just a moment, and soon we'll hear speeches from arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders, florida senator, marco rubio, and a keynote address from mr. trump's daughter-in-law, rnc cochair, lara trump. >> it comes as republicans attempt to make a big show of unity. the crowd has heard from former presidential candidates like florida governor ron desantis, and nikki haley, and top house republicans like the speaker mike johnson. >> speakers, will be focused on crime. this has been branded by the rnc as make america safe once again. it's a notable theme just three days after mr. trump survived an assassination attempt at one of his rallies. nbc news also learned that the secret service actually ramped up security in recent weeks, after concerns about an iranian assassination plot. that plot appears to be separate from what happened over the weekend. >> we have much to cover this morning, joining us here in milwaukee, "meet the press" moderator,

doug burgum has got going back to north dakota. doug burgum is gonna be back on the campaign trail for donald trump very well while we, we have to, because if we're, if we're going the wrong direction on the economy, energy, national security that matters to every american does what party you're in. thank you. we can lift it up for everybody. thank you so much. thank you. >> john. >> all i can say is wow to the question-and-answer of do you know how close you came to being the vice presidential pick? the answer. i have a pretty good idea. if he can put his ear most on the look on his face when he said it. wow, he knows. i guess he came pretty close. kate, that was awesome. thank you. very much. yeah. >> i got an eyebrow raised that tells me, yes. >> yes. pretty close hi, nice to see you, governor, have gone back in north dakota. we appreciate it this cannot go on much longer. that is what one insider is saying new reporting that some canada the pain officials now think president biden has no choice but to abandon his reelection bid

let's discuss with governor doug burgum of north dakota. he was on trump's shortlist for vice presidential nominee. governor great to be with you. chris rock, or rather knocked chris rock, kid rock, rock on the stage, or short time ago rehearsing for later tonight. he's going to be introducing former president trump. >> i think you're a huge kid rock fan. >> is that is that right? >> well, catherine and i are country western fans. rock is crosses over sometimes and i see he's got his cowboy boots on and he's he's got a cowboy tune that's been modified for tonight. so fun. is the first time i've been on a national tv hit where we've been serenaded by like kid rock in the background. >> i'm wondering what you make of the fact that tonight trump isn't being introduced by a republican governor former republican president, or any lawmakers. >> it's hulk hogan, kid rock, dana white well, i think it's pretty clear to me which is president trump who is in charge of this show. >> and this is accumulation of a great week of party unity. but this guy

vance, and north dakota governor doug burgum, a.k.a. the cute one. good eyebrows. now, j.d.s interesting because he has what the others don't: a beard. in fact should he be chosen and elected, he'd be america's first vice president with a full beard in over 150 years when the vp was, say it with me, schuyler colfax. he was actually both the first and last vice president with a full beard. and that's today's... "schuyler col-facts." thank you. schuyler colfax. but that might not be a good thing for vance. as one reporter explained... >> of all things that donald trump doesn't really like, it's facial hair. there's some buzz in trump's orbit like, look, if j.d. vance doesn't get it, it's because of the beard. >> stephen: wow, trump doesn't like beards? why on earth would he hate -- okay, yeah, makes sense. okay. in an interview over on the fox news last night, trump teased when he would prefer to make the announcement. >> i'd love to do it during the convention. you know, in the old days, they would announce the vice president during the convention. >> stephen: great idea. it'

joining me north dakota governor doug burgum. welcome back, governor burgum.e, president biden's performance at the debate was so bad, last nights he read the teleprompter four 1/2 minutes and shuffled away. as you know u.s. military bases in europe has been put on alert for possible terrorist threat. my question to you is now mr. biden a national security risk because he looks so weak and, if you will, almost ill? is he a security risk, sir? >> absolutely, larry, he is a security risk, biden is for america. he is on multiple levels. one is, as was just said, america, not just america that can't unsee what we all saw last thursday night but putin was watching, xi was watching. the ayatollahs were watching. any of our adversaries around the world saw that performance and they look at someone who is not able to get through a debate much less serve out the rest of his term potential itly, certainly, there is nothing that would indicate he could serve four more years beyond that. but if they're thinking this guy has only five or six months left in office if you're

so trump should pick doug burgum since he has experience.w, vaughn hillyard and former republican congressman david jolly of florida. vaughn, it sounds like there's a debate between a strategic election pick or a governing pick. are those the strategies you are hearing from within trump world on this? what's your sense of how much longer they will hold off on announcing it? >> reporter: that's right. it takes me back to the 2016 campaign when you and i were covering that vp search. it came down to three finalists. we look at three potentially finalists here. we are looking at in 2016 there was a midwestern governor named mike pence. there was newt gingrich, sort of the congressional tactician and chris christie, more of the bombastic, bigger than life personality. this go around, when you look at who we are looking at, you have the midwestern governor, you have doug burgum, a low profile, not intimidating, not well-known. you have the likes of jd vance and marco rubio, both who are members of congress and who could potentially in a second tr

vance, doug burgum and marco rubio of florida. who has the greatest shot? >> we had tim albert on the show earlier. the trump campaign kept talking about we are going to run a visual campaign. it's got to look pretty. we know biden -- or trump. now i'm doing the biden thing. he wants somebody to look the part i think doug burgum looks the part of a business executive who is going to give you a strong economy so i'm going with the guy from the dakotas. >> he's cribbing my notes. i think of the three, it is governor burgum. the other thing he has is seeming ambition for the job themselves and senator rubio ran for the job himself. senator vance i'm sure has aspirations especially if he gets chosen. governor burgum is a wealthy man. he's doing this apparently out of public service. maybe he will have ambition but david is right and quoting me from a while back. geoff: nikki haley has released her delegates to donald trump but she will not be at the convention because she wasn't invited. was that an unforced error of the trump team? >> kindergarten level politi

his sentence will sideline bannon, a major maga thinker days before the election. >>> meanwhile doug burgumthere was a smooth transition of power at the end of donald trump's presidency. burgum, who is a top contender to be selected as trump's running mate, made that ridiculous comment during an interview with nbc news' "meet the press" yesterday. he was repeatedly asked if trump's refusal to accept the election was repeatedly undermined. >> it went down to one county, the hanging chads in florida in 2016. yes, hillary clinton conceded the election, but immediately after that began what's still going on today, the smear campaign, about whether the election results were legitimate. both parties have done this. as a country, if we move forward, we have to have an election both parties can agree to. >> governor, let me push back for a moment. therein lies the difference. everyone has a right to challenge the election. everyone conceded. donald trump has yet to concede. is that not undemocratic, particularly for someone running to be leader of this country in the free world again? >> donald tru

north dakota, governor doug burgum, he was on "meet the press" yesterday, you were on "meet the pressant to ask you about your reaction when he made this claim? >> donald trump at the end of his term on january 20th left the white house. we had a smooth transition. and i think it's fair -- >> january 6th wasn't exactly a smooth transition, governor. >> i think we have to say that there was a smooth transition, and everybody in both parties is going to challenge elections if they don't think they're fair. >> i think we have to say there was a smooth transition. i wonder what you make of what is clearly an audition process to be vp for donald trump? >> i mean, it was jaw dropping when i heard him say that. to describe the post election period as a, what did he say, smooth transition? >> smooth transition, he said it twice. >> smooth transition process. i mean it's cringy and appall to go watch him, rubio, j.d. vance, the machinations they go through. obviously i have zero insight into what and who trump would pick, but, you know, it does seem like money is important to him, and doug bur

donald trump announced jd vance as his running mate over other front runners like doug burgum and marco rubio. do you think jd vance is a good pick? a go to vice presidential pick and why? lee carter let's start with you. >> i had mixed feelings in the beginning because this really is a double down decision. he is going full on trump and i think that is what he wants the message... the more i thought about it, jd vance is someone who changed his mind about donald trump and his a lot of people are up in the air. going through and hearing how he switched over, made is going to. he's got a lot of support from unions and i think things that would really benefit him. in the end i will say smart pick >> you go online today and you hear a lot of scuttle. chelsea gabbard's book is numbe. today by a bunch of these books and bring them to convention? >> i've been singing her praises for a long time. i think that's the right pick. made a fine pick and jd vance would've been okay. we will see how it works out but i don't think most people don't vote or vote for the presidency based on the vp pick.

doug burgum is already here on the ground, arriving about two hours ago here in milwaukee.has a time slot to speak here at the convention. i think the question here and we will find this out, likely over the course of this week is whether donald trump's choice was actually made coming into this convention, and whether it changed in the aftermath of the attempted assassination. >> von hilliard, thank you very much. joining us now, former member of president obama's task force on 24 hour policing. what do you expect the secret service to say to reporters a little bit later today? >> well, i think one thing that's going to be important to them to give as much information as they can. we're still expecting reporters and americans across the country are going to want to know. i think they will be very selective in what they share, because this is an ongoing investigation. however i do expect for them to give some overall briefing of what it is they know at this point and what it is still yet to be determined. but i think they're going to be very thoughtful, and be very cautious

we is have north dakota governor doug burgum and know as thing or two about fracking. to ban fossil fuels and i'm going to read quick. wants to ban fossil fuels in cars, trucks, buildings and homes and power plants and this is from when she was a candidate for president. she wants to ban offshore drilling and ban the aforementioned fracking and she wants a $10 trillion fund to get us to zero emissions energy by, i don't know, 2045 or some such thing. even for a san francisco radical progressive whatever, this is really off the wall. off the charts. how do you do that? the biden harris administration and talking about growth and stopping u.s. energy and clean energy production in favor of the foreigne adversaries and its bad for the environment because the folks overseas don't produce it as cleanly as we do and they're funding these proxy wars against us in europe and the middle east. there's not a thing about it good for americans but there's a lot of other policies that putin and ayatollahs and china would love. larry: if you ban fracking and went to zero emissions bu

. >> number two, doug burgum -- >> like a young abraham lincoln. >> doug burgum on abortion in north legislation handed him. does that hurt him? >> well, it's a little bit of an issue. it's pretty strong ban. i think doug is great, but it is strong. he's taken a very strong stance, or the state has. i don't know if it's doug. >> marco rubio, being from florida. would that stop you from picking him? >> no, but it does make it more complicated. >> i want to bring in former adviser to george w. bush and john mccain, mark mckibben, also with us, garrett haake. where are we with this? does anybody think he actually has chosen someone? what's going on behind the scenes? >> reporter: chris, trump said in that same interview you were playing from that he had close to made up his mind on this. from all my reporting i can't find any indication he has made a formal decision or if he has, he's told anyone about it other than himself. i think what trump has right now that how's not especially used to is the spotlight entirely on another candidate, which gives him time to do something he loves to
