And we have a special fourth line this morning just for indiana residents. Host look forward hearing from you as well. Ou can weigh in on twitter and facebook. Heres a photo of governor pence stepping out as trumps v. P. Choice he is here with his wife, karen. They are coming out of a meeting in manhattan with the prump tiff republican nominee. And the story in the wall street journal points to differences. Trump and pence differ on tones and write the selection was cheered by many of the same conservative leaders who havent yet endorsed mr. Trump ut list the policies that make trump an outlier in the party but said mr. Trump criticized the war in iraq and mr. Pence voted to support it. Critic of vocal free trade and mr. Pence supports it. Pence urse mr. Supported texas senator ted cruz. Mr. Trump they write here is a new york billionaire who regularly courts controversy, relishes namecalling and makes no credit secret of his mutable policy views about mr. Pence is an always 1kwru7 beat crusader with deeply held convictions and his net worth was lets than 4400,000 when he left the house. More about trumps selection of governor pence but of course theres the story out of turkey, the coup which the leader there says is coming to an end but here are some of the headlines, the new york headlines. Turkey calls it a battlefield and the president there is back in istanbul and stays rebellion is failing to take homed and the bbc piece that stayed president denounces the coup attempt and says its an act of treason and insists his government remains in charge and a faction of the armed forces is accused of trying to seize power. The acting military chief says 104 coup plotters have been killed and 90 others have died and 1100plus have been injured and those numbers are changing as new developments occur and what it means to the u. S. The New York Times, they have a piece saying the u. S. Is finding itself on shakier ground as an ally confronts a mutiny and writes with all the crisis in the middle east the solace anization took at there was one the president could depend on no matter how the coup plays out hat certainty is shatered. The Washington Post, coup attempt in turkey. Big headline and showed crowds trying to stop tanks from movering into the capital. And karen writes in the piece here that for the u. S. The turmoil could strain fight gainst isis. Whatever new reality happens there it is not good news for the u. S. And its nato allies. Turkey is the front line and home base for much of the Counterterrorism Operations in neighboring syria. Refugees pressing westward from the middle east. Although the administration has been frustrated and irritated by the civilian government of the president of the turkey and finds the government much easier to deal with it could trigger statutory r50eur789s to cut all u. S. Assistance, challenging the u. S. Reliance on Turkish Military installations in the war against the Islamic State. A little bit about turkey there for you. And we look forward to talking here for the next hour and 29 5 minutes about mike pence and donald trump and the campaign overall. Here is the Indianapolis Star this saturday morning. Pence is ready to make the case for trump. They point out that pretty soon after he was tapped as the Vice President ial running mate, he went over to the fox news studios to talk with shawn hannity. Heres ooh little bit about what governor pence has to say. Well, first off, he is the peoples choice, and i believe in the collective wisdom of the American People. We had an enormous primary with talented men and women and donald trump again and again emerged because i think very much like the 40th president that you and i soed a 3450eur, ronald regan. Donald trump understands the anxiety and the aspiration of the American People like no leader since regan, and he has given voice to that, and people have rallied around him and i continue will continue to rally around him, and i expect next week at our convention you will see our party and leaders in our party to rally around this good man who will be a great president of the United States. Host brian from the press. Good morning. Guest good morning. Host so why did mr. Trump select mr. Pence and what does the governor of indiana bring to the ticket . Guest where donald trump can be brash and be freewheeling and not have definite policy ideas, mike pence is very much a known entity. He served in congress for 12 years before becoming governor, and he has been a darling of the evangelical wing and is somebody who a lot of conservatives who have been skeptical of donald trump are very comfortable with him. Host reading the headline to your piece recently about all this. Pences unflapibility could help trump stay cool. Talk to us more about the governors personal style. What is he like to be with. Guest mike pence is all about rigid discipline and doesnt get off message. Sometimes to hiss detriment. If you will recall last year there was a what we call a religious objections that drew a lot of unwanted attention to the state because some people believe he could have sanctioned discrimination against gay people for religious reasons, he went into an interview and during this kind of highprofile interview just stuck to his talking points and wouldnt differ from them and it ended up looking pretty bad, more broadly, and he it was something where he wasnt able to recalibrate. So again, it cuts both ways, but at the same time what you have is an elected official who just doesnt get taken off message, and he is very, very good at that. Host does he have a signature achievement in the state of indiana . If so, what are they . And we read he has seen his share of controversy while in office, no . Guest he has. I would say one of his big accomplishments, what is call ere hip 27. 0 is basically an indianaspecific expansion of president Barack Obamas health care laws. So while a lot of conservatives have railed against what they call obama care, here mike pence did indianas own version of that, and its added a couple hundred,000 people who previously didnt have health care and couldnt afford it, added them to the health care rolls and its largely funded by the federal government, so that is a little bit ironic in one sense. But other than that, he is definitely courted controversy at times. N i guess last december he tried block some Syrian Refugees who were set to settle in napalitano. Ended up getting into somewhat of a dispute with the local catholic archdiocese and in the end the arch diocese went ahead but he directed the government not to give a 1345u8 amount of funding that comes from the state to those families and a federal judge said he was required to actually comply with or at least to provide the aid. So that has been that was snag he didnt, wasnt successful in that effort. E is also, at times he is has gone after planned parenthood. You know, after the series of videos came out, a year ago, he called for an investigation of planned parenthood. That didnt turn anything up. You know, more recently after the religious objectives law in 2015 that stired all that controversy, there was a big push in the state house to pass i guess lgbt protections statewide. That was something that he was pretty tepid in. And wouldnt really commit to a ecific policy on that effort then foundered in the state legislature. Host he spent more than a decade in the u. S. House. What is he known for in terms of his House Service . Guest again, governor pence played a big role in the republican messaging when he was in the house. He was he didnt, you know, this is disputeible. His aids will say he did pass legislation. If you look at his congressional record, theres not a single bill that he sponsored that was actually signed into law now. Some of that was included as amendments into other peoples legislation. So there wasnt a lot of actual legislation that he passed. But again, he was kind of somewhat of a conservative fire brand. He opposed george bushs no child left behind overhaul and he also was a pretty staunch critic of the medicare expansion under bush. Host talking with brian slodysko. We will wrap up in a couple minutes but what was his level of popularity and the drama for words the better governor deciding to get back on the ballot for reelection, what was it like . Guest well, these past couple of days have been interesting to understate it. Its been pretty crazy. Theres been, large tv crews staked out by the governors house and journalists following his motorcade around. Theres a large presence of National Reporters and i think the local or state Republican Party chairman described it to me as something that reached a fevered pitch and when it turned out Something Like pence would be chosen as v. P. , he wasnt even answering his phone. He said every news outlet was pressuring and i think at one point there was local tv stations that talked to Donald TrumpsStation Campaign manager and said he had read in the hill that mike pence was added so they were reporting that Donald Trumps local Campaign Manager confirmed pence as the nominee when nobody really knew. So it was chaotic and crazy and i think the folks of indiana, oftentimes, they dont get to play a large role in the National Political process because their primary comes later than most, and usually these primaries and a lot of this is already sewn up. But people seemed to be enjoying it despite the chaos. Host brian from the Associated Press thanks for your time this morning. Guest thanks for having me. Host our first caller, democratic line. Thank you for waiting these several minutes while we got the show started. What would you like to say about governor pence . Caller good morning, america, governor pence is the Perfect Choice for donald trump. Im looking forward to voting for trump and looking forward to us being our president for the next eight years. Host caller, you said he is the Perfect Choice. How come . Caller he has the tempment and experience to face the country. Host how do you know of mr. Pence . His house experience . Or how have you caught up with him . Caller well, ive been watching politics since the early 1980s and ive been seeing him and like his attitude and tempment and knowledge. Host now, youre calling on the democrats line, correct . Caller yes, sir. Im a regan democrat. Host so does this mean youre voting for the trumppence ticket . Caller oh, yes. I believe trump will, once he becomes president he will call the global conflict world war iii and all these battles in afghanistan and syria and now spreading to other countries, they are just battles. We are in a world war iii and its probably going to last about 100 years. Generations come and go. Host thanks for calling. David, winter park florida also on the democrats line. Caller hello. Im a democrat, and i will be voting for Hillary Clinton. It makes me nervous. I really dont want to have a. K. A. , undamentalist, evangelical influencing the president or being second in line for the presidency. Thats my comment. Host andrew is calling from l. A. Very Early Morning there. Thanks for calling, andrew. Caller thank you very much for having me. All i want to say is i just watched your airing of mike c pack peech at the and he has said in 2015 he is first and foremost a christian first and american second and shown he can appreciate the separation of church and state but can certainly serve his own self beliefs when it comes to minorities across america and discrimination of lgbt americans and like Donald Trumps bankruptcy, he himself is just a selfserve republican who is not going do anything for our country but help dig its own grave so i cant be happy donald trump picked one f his own and im just angry at this hour but at the same voice my ld like to opinion. Host that last caller mentioning the c packs speech. This is a good amount of material at cspan. Org as we have been following governor pence for quite some time. You will see commencement addresses and various items from when he was governor and in the house of representatives. At 11 00 eastern time this morning is the time for the live event. Donald trump is governor mike pence, they will be in new york at the hilton and once that is done we will take more of your phone calls. Marie writes on facebook if pence is trumps v. P. , that will be interesting to watch the canal pain how much voice pence will have. Trumps own words, i think for myself and counsel myself. I think for myself. Im rich, everything is very, very, bad, bad. Trump says every time pence tries correct the irrational outbursts trump has the less confidence people will have of pens. And ronald on the line from texas city, texas. Good morning, ronald. Caller good morning. I am a democrat who is going to vote for mr. Trump and at the comment made at the start of the show about mr. Trumps rivals gathering around to support him, i truly believe that the only reason ted cruz would gather around to get close to mr. Trump it would be stab him in the back. Host so ronald, have you voted for the republican ticket in the past . Caller i am currently up until now i have been as in texas, a straight ticket democrat. Host so what is it that changed your mind this year . Is it mr. Trump himself . Caller mr. Trump himself his personality. To eed that kind of man speak his mind and there will be a lot of knives and the devious bastard of them all will be mr. Ted cruz. Host so let me ask you one more question, you mentioned his style and personal. What about policy . Is there something you heard from mr. Trump that draws you in . Caller i love the idea of the wall. I want to see if he can actually do it. Host good morning to you, john on the republican line. Guest caller this is john and i have a bone to pick with you. You allowed that person, that regan democrat. You still there . Host im here. Caller you allowed that regan democrat. Who ever heard of a regan democrat call in on the democrat line, and you have never i have heard you cut people off before. Because they call in on the wrong line. And you allowed him to go on and on and on and talk about his republican views and he is going to vote for this trumppence ticket. And like i said, he was obviously on the wrong line. Host well john, youve got the time now. What would you like to say . Caller ive called in on the indiana line. I could have called in on the democratic line and could also call in on the indiana line as an indiana resident, and i uh obviously, am going to vote against this ticket. I think they are two of a kind. Neither one of them has the interest of the people at heart. Trump is interested in only what can benefit trump. He is for pence. He wants to do everything my way or the highway. And he has gotten in trouble as governor here in this state several times because he pulls some dumb stunt. Host well, john, i wanted to ask you, what do you think governor pences impact on indiana as governor has been so far . Caller terrible. Host how so . Caller our economy isnt what it could be. Of course, he thinks its absolutely wonderful. But you know, he hasnt been a good governor at all. Host ok. John, we are glad you called and we welcome other indiana callers for this segment. Heres governor pence earlier this week in indiana introducing donald trump at a joint event they had. My fellow hoosiers, we are 119 days away from a great victory in the United States of america when indiana becomes the first state on the board to make donald trump the 45th president of the United States of america. [applause] you know, here in indiana, we know that strong Republican Leadership works. Different from our neighbors in illinois. We have balanced budgets. We cut taxes. We make record investments in education and today there are more hoosiers going to work than ever before in the 200year history in the great state of indiana. Thats what Republican Leadership gets you. And thats exactly the kind of nononsense leadership that donald trump is going to bring to the white house. This 23406. This november. You know, after 7 1 2 years with the failed policies of barack obama that have weakened americas place in the world and stifled our nations economy, we are ready for a change in this state. We are ready to put a fighter, a builder, and a patriot in the oval office of the United States of america. We are ready for donald trump to be our next president. Host back to your calls. Its john from old fort, tennessee. Republican caller this time. Good morning. Caller good morning. I agree with everything mike pence is saying. But my thing is, im going to vote for trump, and im glad he picked him. And i just feel like democrats are delusional. They dont know they are against anything that is biblical. They side with the devil when they agreed with abortion, which is murder. And homo sexual marriage which is between a man and woman, and i dont know why they want to stand by and let Hillary Clinton do the things she does and act like she didnt do when rightly said she is a plain outright liar. And you know, its just they are low lifes. Democrats are low lifes, and im sorry to have to say Something Like that, but i just dont get their theory. They want a weak president . I dont understand them. Host all right, we will hear from more democrats as time goes on. On twitter, pence is solid. Checks off all the conservative boxes. It will be interesting to see how the Trump Campaign uses him. We have larry on the line from bethlehem, pennsylvania. Larry is a democrat. Good morning. Aller good morning. You know, this is so infuriating and upsetting. Host what is . Guest were talking about mike pence. How in the world did donald trump get nominated . Quickly, what was the guys name from texas known as the hammer . Where is he today . Host are you talking about tom delay . Guest newt gingrich. Whats he done lately . I mean
