it is also amazing the folks saying mike pence once to run of theocracy, the fact that mike pence istive who wants to limit the size and scope of government. the only people who want to rule from above by instituting their moral preferences on society from the top down are the folks on the left who want to invade rights on a regular basis and force people to do things they don't want to do. it is more common on the left and the right, using their own theocratic tendencies which a lot of folks on the radical left the as a godlike figure. using that the aquatic tendency and projecting onto people like mike pence, quite disgusting. shannon: circle back to what you said earlier, fail to see it is precisely this kind of elitist bigotry that fuels trump and they wonder why their readership is declining and people continue to vote for candidates they believe are crazy. thank you for joining us, great to have you with us. the secretary of education as a new plan for school safety the same day we are getting a new look at what happened, a daring trek through hurricane to save the life of a yo

he sets out plans for the creation of a sixth branch of the military and mike pence has called for $8pondent in washington, chris buckler, has been following developments. donald trump really wants to see this new branch of the military setup, the first there would be for 70 years. and he's been talking about the space force for a number of months now. he even seems to like the phrase itself, he uses it a lot in rallies. what vice president mike pence was doing today was setting out the details as to why this is needed. that's because both the president and vice president need to get congress to agree to this. so he was setting out exactly why this space force is necessary. he was talking about other countries, saying that there are countries like russia, china, iran and north korea, that are all developing technology that could lead to problems for the us in space, for example, anti—satellite technology. so mike pence gave us an idea of how this is being viewed by the administration, they talk about it really potentially turning into a battlefield, of this being a war—fighting domain

vice president mike pence also weighed in does this imply then this trade was far from over. well it would appear to do so that was a very strong tweet from the vice president on the issue of the american policy basically of the threatening tone there saying that president trump should not be tested this must be seen in the light as well as the statement we heard there from the turkish foreign minister saying that they can be talks as long as there are no threats no dictation but what we heard from mike pence was rather threatening tweet with regards to that american pastor and that would lead us to indicate that this trade dispute is far from over the issue of sanctions against turkey the issue of tariffs against turkey still may be very much on the board as far as the trumpet ministration is concerned or at my kind of there in washington d.c. mike thank you. a suicide attack on an education center in afghanistan's capital has killed more than fifty two people many of the victims were teenagers studying for their university entrance exams it happened in a mainly shared neigh

vice president mike pence will be there.john kelly, secretary mattis and john bolton. he will not be there and he's in washington right now. >> there's a couple things going on there. clearly president trump doesn't -- never has had much of a high opinion or respect for that matter for john mccain. famously during the campaign said as far as war heros he prefers people that weren't captured, something that wasn't simply a slip of a tongue. he had actually said it on "60 minutes" in 1999. it was a deeply felt lack of respect. the feeling ran both ways. mccain -- as you see really quite a moment again, his casket about to come out of that hearse and to go into the capitol building for the last time. john mccain as he planned these events made it clear through friends that he didn't particularly want the president of the united states taking part in this. >> even from the grave refusing to build a bridge with the president. that relationship was just too fractured. as jon mentioned, we're getting our first look at the casket. i

"space force all the way." i've been laughing about it all day. i don't know. i keep thinking of it. that should be their slogan, "space force all the way." they're already working on a logo for the space force. in fact, the trump campaign sent an e-mail to their donors asking them to vote on a possible space force lo

vice president mike pence announced the new branch yesterday at the pentagon.he goal of the force is to protect the u.s. from emerging threats while combatting space-age advancements by china and russia. at the announcement, the vice president outlined a pentagon report delivered to congress later in the day. the 15-page proposal has a plan to pave the way for the space force including the creation of a u.s. space command over seen by a four-star general, but the proposal did not offer an estimated cost of the project. mike pence, who was joined by defense secretary james mattis at the event, echoed the president's call to have the new service in operation by 2020, less than two years from now. >> now the time has come to write the next great chapter in the history of our armed forces, to prepare for the next battlefield where america's best and bravest will be called to deter and defeat a new generation of threats to our people, to our nation. the time has come to establish the united states space force. the united states space force will strengthen our securi

like these recently unearthed writings by vice president mike pence.ou and i fall into bad moral habits, we can harm our families, our employers, and our friends. the president of the united states can incinerate the planet. seriously, the very idea that we ought to have at or less than the same moral demands placed on the chief executive that we place on our next door neighbor is ludicrous and dangerous. but it doesn't end there. quote, the president's repeated lice to the american people in this matter compound the case against him as they demonstrate his failure to protect the institution of the presidency. leaders affect the lives of families far beyond their own private life. no, mike pence, is not talking about his boss or his cohort, president trump here, he wrote these columns in the late '90s, as a conservative radio host, running for congress. his comments were aimed directly at president bill clinton, amid the monica lewinsky scandal. and if these comments prove anything, it's that hypocrisy in politics is alive and well. >>> that will wrap

every time mike pence opens his mouth, i feel stronger of what the road is. it is venezuelan. sn't ththe one that mike pee points out to us. briring in mark weisbrot. -- the talk about president of bolivia tweeted about, saying that mike pence has made several visits to latin america, pushing for what he said is military intervention in venezuela. and if you think there is any relationship tween that and what happened this weekend? the first assassination attempt by drone against a head of state anywhere in the world? i don't have any evidence that the u.s. was behind the attack. that the state department was asked to comment and they said they had no comment. on the attack. which normally, given what the united states has done in venezuela for the past 20 years, at the very least you would expect them to say they are against any kind of assassination or any kind of violence. but they didn't say that. they have been trying to get rid for 20 years now. and the difference between the trump administration and the two previous administrations is that they are more explicit. as youo

what vice president mike pence was doing today was setting out detail why this is needed.ce president need congress to agree. so he was setting out exactly why this space force is necessary. he was talking about other countries, saying that there are countries like russia, china, iran and north korea that are developing technology that could lead to problems for the us in space, for example, antisatellite technology. so mike pence gave us an idea of how this is being viewed by the administration, they talk about space potentially turning to a battlefield, to be a war fighting domain. it gives you the sense that america needs to take this seriously going forward although it is to be said within congress, and like they said within congress, and like they said they need congress support, there is scepticism. a little bit escape this is notjust in congress because things like the air force will not be happy because they deal with missile defence and will lose, potentially, some of their budget. and there is concern aboutjust how this will work in terms of bureaucracy. how it w

maybe god tells mike pence, maybe he doses.be he doesn't know how the intercome on his desk work. god tells me to bring him a diet coke. scaramucci stuck around the white house ten days until trump told him to go. and then when he did, he went into a small office and started to cry a girly cry. and then he used his tears to slick back his beautiful hair. what a terrific place to work, you know? [ applause ] and this might be the most salacious detail of all. omarosa implies that the president had an affair with his spiritual adviser, a tv pastor named paula white who recently told her followers to send her a month of their salary or face divine consequences. so you can see why these two might hit it off. let's look at paula white again. she gave the invocation at the inauguration. i don't know if there's any truth to this, but she does look like a combination of stormy and ivanka. she wrote she couldn't stop herself from considering whether her position of spiritual adviser had been missionary. there's no evidence of anything u

space arms control there yesterday at ok let's just take a listen at this point to what exactly mike pence has said about the space for today other nations are seeking to disrupt our space based systems and challenge american supremacy in space as never before for many years nations from russia and china to north korea and iran have pursued weapons to jam blind and disable our never geisha and communication satellites the electronic attacks from the ground but recently i have a series of been working to bring new weapons of war into space itself so mike pence says that america's adversaries are bringing new weapons of war into space to believe there's any truth to that. well there is some but the truth is that it's mainly russia and china have the capability to interfere with american space assets and are developing in ai satellite weapons however they're following the example set by the united states which has developed and tested the same systems are earlier and which has operational anti-satellite capabilities both the space the jammers that i talked about and the missile systems which

when it came to mike pence, i called a mutual friend in indiana, and i asked would governor pence be considered to be vice president we offered it to him and everybody else was almost an immediate yes. mike pence through the intermediary said, i want to spend the weekend with my family , talk to our children, and i want to talk to god and see if this is the right thing for us. he took a weekend to think about if he even wanted to be vetted to be considered to be the vice president, because that's how strong his faith is. before mike pence whatever make a decision to decide if he wants to run for president, he would have a discussion with his family and look internally and decide is this the right thing for his family at the time and is the right thing for the country before he made that decision. i couldn't speak to it because it would be a decision mike would make with a very close group of people. reporter: if god told him that the right thing to do was to run against donald trump, he would do it? mr lewandowski: i think mike pence has been a phenomenal partner in the semester asia

senate house peeker of the house, paul ryan and mitch mcconnell and mike pence.hour. at 1:00 p.m., the public will be invited to view mccain's casket and pay their respects throughout the rest of the day and evening. >> we see now the beginning of this ceremony taking place on capitol hill. the casket carrying john mccain will be greeted by a armed force barriers. inside he will be placed on a cat a pumt. >> that catapult has great historical meaning. it was built in i believe 1865. it was used by president abraham lincoln and for every other person that has lied in state, 30 people before mccain, they have lied on that catapult. >> hastily built in 1865, but lynn don johnson, john kennedy puts him in some extraordinary company. nancy cordis is outside the capitol. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, this scene is very reminiscent of what we saw in arizona when mccain's body and his casket was removed from the hearst at the arizona state capitol, greeted by a military honor guard and his family. then it will be taken into the rotunda of the capitol building.

the current vice president, mike pence, wrote in the late 1990s that he believes a president could bever morals. cnn's kay file uncovered two files where pence argued that bill clinton's admission of affair with white house intern and prior lies to the american public about the matter possibly also under oath meant clinton should be removed from office. he also argued in general about the importance of morality and integrity to the office of the presidency. the white house correspondent for reuters jeff mason is joining us right now. jeff, so that's what he said then. vice president pence has apparently a different view right now. >> he doesn't talk about it much now. when he made those comments he was not a politician, he was a radio host in indiana. if you look back at his sort of tenure with president trump during the 2016 campaign, he did criticize then candidate trump after the "access hollywood" tape came out. since then he as absolutely aligned himself with the president on everything from policy to moral issues. he stands behind the president. he gives his support to everythin

and mike pence is actually an important player in the midterms. around theling country on behalf of house candidates, which is a chamber that could slip to democrats in november. so he is an important member of the administration, but you are not reading more about him. >> he will become more important until a new senator in arizona is decided. let's go to max, calling from new york on the republican line. morning, thank you for a great show. i have a general statement to make that is related to all of this. the democrats have yet to accept the outcome of the election, and that is the reason for all of this other stuff. the president is being investigated for things that no other president would be investigated for, for things that hillary clinton is actually guilty of. the establishment doesn't like him, and the democrats don't like him. big surprise that the democrats don't like a republican candidate, and they think that because they dislike him so much, they can stomp their feet and remove him from office, and the american people who put him t

i disagree with '90s mike pence. elections are not referendums they're choices and i'm guessing that mike pence would argue that it's immoral to do what -- go down the path of voting against republicans if it means putting a clinton in office. so, this is where it gets real dicey about trying to apply morality to political situations. we have to stick with constitution. high crimes and misdemeanor, yes, everything else that's not what the founders intended. >> the president in a pa jurorty sense refer to him as, he does this interview with new york times is candid and saying when he's asked about trump and the republicans not saying a whole heck of a lot, essentially trust me, i've stopped this from being much worse. so no specifics chis what he said, quote, i can look myself in the mirror at the end of the day and say i avoided that tragedy, i avoided that tragedy, i avoided that tragedy. i advanced this goal. i advanced this goal. i advanced this goal. profound words. no, seriously, though, but with paul ryan, what
