#Pence #Trump #2024Election
The first 20 mins of this interview is why, even if Trump doesn’t win the nom, Mike Pence will not. Despite being given a platform to clearly distinguish himself from Trump on multiple fronts — “I myself was found with documents and I gave them back and was not indicted because I respect rule of law” — “ After the work we had done together for the country, no one was more disappointed than I that we had lost in 2020. I couldn’t overturn the election, but I’m here to remind the American people we can’t trust a man who would put himself before our country. — he just can not effectively thread the needle. He’s facing an uphill battle already — not quite sure how you say, “I am proud of the work we accomplished,” but don’t want *the president* you accomplished them with to be at the top of the ticket. There isn’t a clear message because he’s talked himself into a corner on Trump’s behavior and isn’t skilled enough to talk himself out of them. I’m bewildered that he had the capability to win a governorship, will all due respect.
I was never a pence fan but after this interview I do find I agree with some of his sentiments. One thing I can say is I believe he has values. Like him or not, that’s a rare thing
PREOCCUPATION ??? WHAT A STUPID COMMENT…TRUMP SET OUT TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY
Chuck is obsessed with trump and this interview was for pence and about pence. 🤷♀️
He reached his peak as VP in a 4 year Banana Republic…Americans changed course so maybe pastor somewhere…? For sure not a motivational speaker.
Pence calls himself a Christian, but he seems to be forgetting “Thou shall not lie”. He is such a hypocrite, and if he truly believes in God, Jesus Christ, and the Bible he is forgetting that God is watching and listening to him..
Joe Biden Senate Democrats are restoring your country only Trump can save America
I think it is pretty clear that no matter the republican nominee, NBC viewers will not have an impartial comment in order to discern qualities of the nominee that could best serve them and their community. Guess thats what happens with media giants like NBC brainwashing you for decades.
What ignorance!
Mike, stop p…..g in my shoes and tell me it’s raining. I thank God for saving you but man, i just don’t understand the way you think. Hope you are not thinking we are morons.
Can you really believe him????
I think NOT
Pence to me is an automated machine of responses, i dont care for him
One word gutless
👍
Excuse me, I would like to barf now.🤮
debt was caused by the republicans and under Trump not Biden
“Going to prison,” was started to protect the imprisoned.
This isn’t from June 12th.. could you post the full broadcast from last week? June 11th
I ❤ how he answered “Would you pardon Trump” ? HE WRONG THEN AND WRONG NOW 😂😂😂😂😂
Mike pence is such a jerk!!!
Forget you, it obvious that you are scared of Trump period. He just keep circling and never answer a single question !
I can’t believe that Pence is a contender against Trump !!!! does he really running for president ?!!
Trump thought he deserved to be HUNG! If he cannot defend himself or his own family why would I ever think he would defend me or my family.
Momma must have taught Pence to dance cause he sure dances around all of the issues
Octopus has more spine than Pence. GOP, do better.
Vote for Joe Biden
Keep Trump out🗣️
Greetings!!! Meet the Press and to Chuck Todd he gets to the point perfectly
Trump is a total embarrassment to our country
Jesus mike??!!! He wanted you hung!!!!
I love theses two Chuck Todd and Hallie Jackson ❤😊
Hallie Jackson speaks so perfectly 💯mph she doesn’t even makes mistakes
She breaks it’s all down like chopping wood 🪵
Chuck Todd never turn his head nor crack a smile I’m also afraid of him his just doesn’t play around I promise you he doesn’t play
Chuck Todd is a punk most days.
The republicans need to stop diverting blame to the BLM riots . None of those rioters were trying to murder federal officials to rob the country of their votes. People at school boards were being investigated because they made terroristic threats regarding mask mandates which were taking place before the riots. It’s a weak and pathetic excuse made by a weak and pathetic man.
Todays generation of black people focus on slavery not justice Dr Martin Luther King Jr generation didn’t focus on slavery in an extravagant way or gross way
I’m not getting this Juneteenth thing and most blacks people in America doesn’t focus on it
Justice is the key focus I thank God for Dr Martin Luther King Jr
Who understand the vision God gave him in regard to everything happened to blacks in America and in the vision white people was always to be included not matter what Dr king didn’t not live to see part of the vision but that blacks and whites to join hands as brothers and sisters
This is what we should be focusing on not slavery because that’s for God himself to deal with due to the fact it begin in Africa but blacks in America never bring up Hams bloodlines in Africans
This clown keeps acting like he speaks for the American people. He doesn’t speak for me or the majority of American people. He acts like he is this incredibly religious man . And yet he lies and bends the truth to fit his purpose. He embodies everything that is wrong w politics in America. I also believe he’s running scared of Trump’s followers.hes a coward and not fit to be dog catcher let alone the President.
He is very much a religious person, like him or not he is.
God himself deals with the root of problems not the symptoms
If He treat the symptoms of problems then the root cause will always be there
The root of slavery is Africa and that’s where God will start not America
Africa is where all of the world problems are coming from
God is a God of order
America is a the very toe nail of world problems
And this also means that blacks in America and in Europe are still better off with the Europeans than our bloodlines in Africa alone
Racism begin in Africa if the world is going uproot it ~ Amen
And we cannot start in America or Europe to uproot racism
Black people in America are hypocrites
Some
I’m done for now 😊
What a weenie little milk toast coward, he’s simply repeating talking points from Truth Social, he says ” the American people want this” ,he doesn’t speak for the American people, he is entrenched in his mediocrity in MAGA world , his political career is over.
This is what infuriates black people about racist persons like mike pence. He rails on and on about a two tier justice system for trump and republicans which may or may not be true. But white people like him never utters a word about the obvious documented double standard of justice for black people for over a 100 years. In fact they are saying racism against black people was never really that bad in all of american history. They’re being unfair to one rich, over privileged white man and they howl at the moon. The unmitigated gall is astounding.
Great interview! Pence at his most weaseliness!
i don’t understand this idea, that if you’re pro life, you have to vote republican, because i am pro life, and i would never vote for trump, the difference is i can give a woman advice not to get a abortion, but i wouldn’t force my opinion on her 💯
Me too I would never!!
I think what he means is that the Democratic Party has a culture of not choosing abortion as a last resort these days. In the not so recent past, abortion was not celebrated. These days….it’s celebrated…it’s encouraged….it’s not considered a last resort but perhaps an only resort…so imho I believe he is speaking of the culture of the left rather than the culture of the right that would encourage the woman to consider other avenues such as adoption. I used to be a democrat that was pro life, but now I am an independent. The culture change is part of the reason for that.
How does it hurt the country to get a thug criminal ppsychopathic former embarassment of a president off the street.?
🤮
After Kevin Clinesmith lied to the FISA court the credibility of the FBI was shot. Clinesmith wasn’t a rogue agent, he was a team player. The deep state is out to get Trump.
Chuck, let him talk. I’m not a Pence fan, but Jesus…
For real
I don’t trust this guy. Where’s he been? Flip flopper. I’d like to know where he was when Paula White was calling out spirits from South America. If he won’t even stand up for true faith, how can he stand for this country? Faith is more important than anything, and he didn’t speak up when that whole counterfeit show was going on.
I’m voting for pence!
Pence is just weird isn’t he? He talks in double standards, avoids answering directly, but again…he’s just kind of creepy lol
Hey if your a christian your suposed to LOVE YOUR ENEMY SO MOST ARE PHONEY!!!!!!!
SAD so SAD!!!!
Chuck tried soo hard to reveal what this dude really is. And he was successful in that goal. This guy is a very weak boot leaker of Trump who doesn’t have his own political principle that can make him president. Chris Christy is much MUCH MUUUUCHHH… better than him!!
Chuck Todd has _so much_ disdain for the Republican Party, he could hardly contain his pop tent.
Pence is as empty up there and as wooden as they come. Wonder why Trump chose him as VP. Trump wanted a doll like Kamala it seems like.
This dude’s running for President? Really?? Shows how much of an intellectual vacuum there is in this country.
Chuck is obsessed with Donald Trump!!
“And I believe in all of my heart, I will be that nominee.”
And that boys and girls, is what delusion looks like.
Don’t assume. Remember not many thought trump would win. 😂
@r d I don’t think Pence’s entertainment value is anywhere near where Trump’s was when he ran for the first time. So yeah, I’ll gladly assume that Pence won’t be the nominee 😌
Who took part in their poll? I didn’t get to answer any poll questions so it’s not 100% legit IMO
7:50 reminds me of why I stopped watching this show many years ago. Used to be so great under Tim Russert. You can tell Chuck is owned by something besides the truth, which throws out all his credibility as an interviewer.
Mike Pence is such a waste of Air time…
Why didn’t Chuck call Pence when he said the Durham report proved the Russian report should have never happened.
Pence should not get a free pass to spout Republican talking points which have no merit. I’m sure someone heard that and said that’s right… but it isn’t.
Pence will not be the next President and to note, the inflation and high covid death rate are from Pence and Trump. Frankly, anyone saying they would pardon Trump, out on their butts instantly!
What a vapid human being.
Pence will be a weak President… no backbone, no nothing… probably a loyal follower but wakes up
when a lying eye can see…
Chuckkkkkk please stop interrupting!!!! Just do the interview and calm yourself. You’re getting personal.
Pence is a 🐍. Had January 6th went the other way he would stood right beside Trump. Dude straight weasel and snake. Dude needs to answer questions otherwise go home become a preacher or something
Savings? I made more on investing my money on real estate.
Nobody wants a stiff a** stuffed Suit back to the future politician… It looks like as close as a man was to trump. He might learn something but no he just can’t help it. He’s gonna go get his 2%? Write a book get rich and say he rain for president… Go away far far away
Don’t believe pence is the one I don’t trust him
Pence has no chance. Trump shouldn’t be taking a side in the war, he wants to end the war…Trump 2024…The Policy King
He has handled doc correctly cause the pres records act allows trump to remove doc at his discretion
Pence had docs illegally!!!!!
Trump never asked Pence to “overturn” the election.
Why waste energy on anyone who’s desperate enough to say anything for a vote, whether it’s pence, haley or Scott?
Not watching as long as that clown Chuck Todd on your air.
L LL l will
He’s too weak to be the president. No more coward presidents.
Chuck Toddler is such a loser
I listened to this interview with an opened mind. Hoping Pence would show some signs of a possible candidate worth my vote. The level of deflection and weakness in just being honest is pathetic. He is walking the line to appeal to Trumps base without offending them. He is not presidential in my opinion. He can’t take a clear stance on anything. Dodges questions and can’t lay out his differences between he and Trump.
I I I I I THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. That is his answer for everything.
Pathetic pence.
Pence the Uni-Party member – the MAGA crowd knows this –
TRUMP 2024 to clean up this DEEP STATE, aka Uni-Party mess and MAGA A
Mike pence the fawning sycophant. Trump claims to be able to shoot people and get away with it. Ask Russia for help finding 30,000 emails. And we’re not supposed to think that anything is the matter. The likes of pets should never see the White House he will pardon Trump and get him out of prison
Glossy goals of democracy? This weak man had one moment of strength. He should retire from the field. Permanently. I like how his ears turn red when he doesn’t like the question.
What a panel of gasbags. All these fake journalists pretending that the DOJ is impartially adjudicating the law… led by the biggest liar in network television.
interviewing Pence was a HUGE waste of our time… PLEASE…Stop doing it! He’s NEVER going to answer your questions without Blame Shifting and Deflecting and GasLighting
If it was Obama would he talk this goofball talking points. Maga values equals maga clowns 🤡
Me think Chuck Todd is a little bias. Can’t wait til he is gone . The show needs to get back to the way it use to be.
Don’t care for Pence much but loved seeing him take Chuck to school here. Chuck Todd is a swamp creature and part of the crooked media problem in this country. When their greatest fear comes back into office he will finish draining the swamp and put the real criminals in jail that truly belong there starting with H and the big guy followed by Clinton
Hunter Biden is not running for President. Mike Pence should retire somewhere to anywhere.
You are Hardly a Gold standard for anything
Christie 2024
Where are the Barisma tapes of the Bidens and their bribes? Meet the Press should be all over that.
Awful! Pitiful!
