buttigieg is taking direct aim at pence's interpretation of the bible, prompting pence to tell this toill offer more to the american people than attacks on my christian faith or attacks on the president as he -- as he seeks the highest office in the land. >> he argues that your quarrel is with him as a gay man and that he says i was born this way, and this is the way god made me. that's just not your belief? >> well, i -- i think -- i think pete's quarrel is with the first amendment. >> how so? >> all of us in this country have the right to our religious beliefs. >> now buttigieg is explaining how easy it would be to put this to rest on "the el mlen show." >> i'm not interested in feuding with the vice president. if he wanted to clear this up, he could change his mind and say it shouldn't be legal to discriminate against anyone in this country for who they are. >> we have se cupp us, a political commentator and host of "unfiltered." pence is a devout evangelical christian and buttigieg is a devout episcopalian. he's trying to stake out this position talking about faith, not something t

vice president mike pence, would you say a few words? >> thank you, mr. president. i want to extend my congratulations to the secretary-general for the extension of your term. your leadership of nato has been a time of renewed strength in the transatlantic alliance as you responded to the leadership the president provided. president trump made it clear to our allies in europe we could not care more about their security then we -- than they care about their security. it wasn't a choice of whether we are committed to the alliance or demand that we can -- our allies can live up to the commitment. mr. president and i -- i have witnessed the secretary-general in europe in the states and i look forward to his remarks before congress tomorrow where you can unpack what american leadership has meant to really renew this nato alliance, seeing a number of countries that are on track to live up to their 2% commitment, more than double, $140 million in additional defense spending. you have been a great voice to that and i wanted to express my congratulations and my appreciation

that means that mike pence can believe what he believes. >> here's our response to the second lady.t she believes. here in lies the problem. this friday there were 15,000 patriots will no longer be able to serve. >> shannon: that's actually not accurate. not everybody is getting kicked out of the service. if you are actively going through treatment at a time that you're supposed to be in service, there are some people grandfathered in and limits on new people. >> however you want to split the cookie, the fact is that a discriminatory policy of people who want to sign up and serve in our military, to say they can no longer serve because of how they choose to show up is not only problematic but discriminatory. >> shannon: a lot of this goes back to something that governor pence oversaw when he was governor of indiana. like the baker who was a christian who doesn't want to do a custom cake for a same-sex wedding and the lgbt community feeling protected and safe. and it's seems like that's the crux. >> i grew up in a very religious household. i believe in people having the freedom to be
