mike pence once viewed trump as lonesome and repugnant. he thought this guy, he stands for nothing that we embody as republicans, like -- pence always called him in that order. he would never have identified as any of those three. yet, when trump began pursuing mike pence, pence begins to have a genuine change of heart. i tell you, mike pence likes to seek the good in people. as he gets to know trump, he convinced himself that this is not the same person everyone else sees. there's a character of trump portrayed by the media. i see somebody different. trump appreciates the fact that mike pence genuine seems to like him and seems to believe he's not a bad person, the villain everyone believes he is. on the date that drops, trump's mind goes to one person first, it's mike pence. he knows if mike pence drops off, then he's done. mike pence is his salvation at this time. you have christian conservative voters were not sure they can pull the lever for trump and mike pence is giving them the reassurance that they need. trump has gone very close w

and, so, there were always these stories about how mike pence and karen pence would be holding handsr they'd be praying and trump would walk by and sort of bellow out, oh, look at them, they're so in love like teenagers. and trump was so amused by pence calling his wife mother that when he found out about the "access hollywood" tape and mike pence went back to indiana and basically went awol for 48 hours. trump was genuinely worried about pence. he was genuinely worried that he could lose pence. so he got off the phone and he says mother is not going to like this. and people around him, you know, sort of left, but there was a great deal of concern mike pence actually wrote a letter that weekend to donald trump trying to put on paper what hearing that audiotape had done to him and his wife. and when i couple of trump's senior most aides heard of that letter, they thought he was off the ticket, that it was done. >> what else did trump say to you? >> we talked about a few things. obviously, you know, we had -- the sugar high a few days ago of the aoc nickname of evita which was actually

the vice president on a similar visit it was an alternative photo op and it was no accident that mike pence appeared unmoved by what he saw. what they promised coming into office was that they were going to crack down that they were going to stem the tide of migrants coming across the border i would build a great wall and nobody builds walls better than me believe me and so every day since then has been an exercise in trying to show the base that they're doing exactly what they said they were. so what we saw was vice president pence standing outside of these pens where men were gathered where in a close a cross to. screaming that they needed the basics. and we also saw my friends there who didn't see. particularly moved by any of this in terms of the intentionality of the optics i think what we can say is that unfortunately there is a segment of trump's face that actually likes seeing people of color being detained or being policed being mistreated and then unfortunately. that's what i said in a tweet which i guess some people think is gotcha version a lot of people love it by the way after

in this new reporting from tim alberta we learned from mike pence and it's reported that mike pence went awol when the tape came out. pence was, quote no, where to be found. he didn't even answer calls from speaker ryan, and there was talk that pence being on the top ticket -- putting him on the top of the ticket. he was a bigger player than we thought. >> yeah. that certainly -- at least in terms of influence over trump, but i think the fascinating lesson from that is less about how trump responded to pence but how pence responded to trump and pence really demonstrated what we've seen since with donald trump and evangelical/religious voters which is, you know what, i'm going to put those feelings aside and trust this guy will deliver for me politically. that's the gamble mike pence made at the moment and that was the thing that got donald trump elected that november. >> so as i said were you on the show that night. it's all coming back to me now because you and scottie nell hughes, a trump supporter, had this classic exchange. >> i think that every single republican is going to have to
