>> WE ALL FEEL FOR THEM. AND WE THANK THEM FOR THEIR SERVICE. HAVING FAMILY MEMBERS THAT SERVE. I WANT TO INTRODUCE SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS WHO WAS WITH US. GOOD TO SEE YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. >> GAVE A BIG SPEECH LAST NIGHT. WHAT DID YOU WANT TO CONVEY? >> ONE OF THE THINGS I FELT WAS IMPORTANT AND THAT MOMENT IS FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW AND SEE THAT DONALD TRUMP THAT I GOT TO KNOW FROM TWO AND HALF YEARS IN THE WHITE HOUSE IN A YEAR ON THE CAMPAIGN. IT WAS SOMEBODY WHO STUCK UP FOR ME AND OFFENDED ME BEHIND THE SCENES THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T GET A CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE. I HAD SOME LOW MOMENTS IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND HE WAS THE ONE THAT CONSTANTLY BUILT ME UP AND GAVE ME CONFIDENCE TO CONTINUE DOING MY JOB. AND I WANTED AMERICA TO SEE THAT SIDE OF THIS PRESIDENT. IN ADDITION TO THE ONE WHO BROUGHT US ECONOMIC SECURITY BORDER SECURITY, A SAFER STRONGER AMERICA. THIS WAS MORE OF THE TENDER SIDE AND I WANTED PEOPLE TO GET A CHANCE TO SEE THAT. >> IT WAS INTERESTING TO HEAR YOU TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE CRITICISM. A LOT OF WOMEN IN PUBLIC ROLLS HAVE A LOT OF CRITICISM. >> AS I'M SURE YOU WOULD KNOW. IT IS NOT ALWAYS FAIR AND CERTAINLY NEVER FUN. >> IT TOOK YOU A WHILE TO ENDORSE DONALD TRUMP AS HE WAS MAKING HIS BID FOR PRESIDENT. WHY WAS THAT? >> I'VE BEEN A SUPPORTER OF THE PRESIDENCY OF 2016. CAMPAIGNED IN 2020. I HAD JUST BECOME GOVERNOR AND WANTED TO GET SETTLED. BUT I HAVE BEEN WITH THE PRESIDENT FROM DAY ONE OF THE FIRST TIME THAT HE GOT INTO THE RACE. SHORTLY AFTER MY OWN FATHER DROPPED OUT I JOINED THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN. I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE CONVINCED THEN WE HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS THAT WE NEED DONALD TRUMP BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE. HE IS THE PERSON THAT WE NEED TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY. IF EVER THERE WAS A DOUBT OF HIS STRENGTH HIS COURAGE HIS RESILIENCE ON SATURDAY HE SHOWED THE COUNTRY JUST WHY WE NEED HELP. AND WHY I THINK HE IS GOING TO WIN WITH A HISTORIC MARGIN IN NOVEMBER. >>> FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW GOVERNOR SANDERS IS THE YOUNGEST GOVERNOR IN AMERICA AND THE FIRST FEMALE GOVERNOR. OF OUR ARKANSAS. YOU'VE RUN ON SOME DIFFERENT ISSUES AND PUSHED OPEN ISSUES IN ARKANSAS. SCHOOL OF CHOICE. EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENT THINGS YOU HAVE DONE. >> WHEN I RAN FOR OFFICE I WAS VERY CLEAR MY BIGGEST PRIORITY WAS EDUCATION. IT WASN'T JUST TINKERING WITH THE SYSTEM. WE DID A MASSIVE OVERHAUL OF EDUCATION IN THE STATE OF ARKANSAS. THE MOST HISTORIC AND TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION LEGISLATION AND OUR STATE'S HISTORY. WE TOOK TEACHER PAY FROM BEING 48th IN THE COUNTRY TO TOP-FIVE OVERNIGHT. MAKING US COMPETITIVE WITH EVERYTHING WILL STATE IN THE COUNTRY. WE INVESTED IN THINGS LIKE PAID MATERNAL LEAVE AND TUITION FORGIVENESS FOR OUR TEACHERS. MAKING SURE WE HAVE GREAT EDUCATORS A HUGE INVESTMENTS IN PUBLIC EDUCATION. AT THE SAME TIME I HAVE THREE KIDS. I HAVE A 12-YEAR-OLD 18-YEAR- OLD AND A NINE-YEAR-OLD. THEY ALL LEARN DIFFERENTLY. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERY PARENT IS EMPOWERED TO PUT THEIR KID IN A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN BEST LEARN AND BEST BE EDUCATED. THAT IS WE DID FOR UNIVERSAL SCHOOL OF CHOICE. >> CAN I ASK ABOUT YOU AND THE -- REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS? UNDER DONALD TRUMP THE THREE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE OVERTURN ROE VERSUS WADE ASSENTED TO THE STATES. JD VANCE WITH DONALD TRUMP'S. TO BE RUNNING MATE HAS SAID HE DOES SUPPORT A NATIONWIDE BAN ON ABORTION. DO YOU SUPPORT THAT? HOW DO YOU THINK THAT WILL PLAY IN THE KEY SWING STATES MICHIGAN PENNSYLVANIA WISCONSIN? >> I'M PRO-LIFE I'M UNAPOLOGETICALLY POOR LIFE. I GET TO GOVERN ONE OF THE MOST PRO-LIFE STATES IN THE COUNTRY. I'M NEVER GOING TO APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. >> WHAT ABOUT A NATIONWIDE BAN? >> I WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. THE PRESIDENT'S POSITION HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE HE RAN FOR OFFICE. I WILL LET THEM WORK THAT OUT. I THINK HE WILL MAKE A TREMENDOUS COMPLEMENT TO THIS PRESIDENT. BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON THE AMERICAN WORKER BUSINESS SUCCESS. HE'S GOT A MILITARY BACKGROUND. I THINK HE WILL BE A GOOD BALANCE TO THIS PRESIDENT. AND BE A GREAT LEADER AS THE NUMBER TWO AND COMMAND WHEN THEY WIN IN NOVEMBER. >>> YOU ARE SITTING NEXT TO MARGARET BRENNAN AND MAJOR GARRETT. GOVERNOR MAJOR AND I BOTH SAT IN THE FRONT ROW CALLING YOU SARAH FOR SO LONG. IT IS HARD TO SAY GOVERNOR PAXMAN I WAS CALLED A LOT WORSE. >> THE TWO OF YOU ALWAYS WONDERFUL AND VERY RESPECTFUL. >>> GOVERNOR YOU WERE ALSO HAS NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE YOUNGEST GOVERNORS. >> STILL SO FAR THE YOUNGEST. I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE HOT ON MY HEELS TO TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME. FOR NOW I STILL GET THE HANG ONTO IT. >> IT UNDERSCORES THE POINT IN THIS CAMPAIGN THAT WE HAVE SEEN WITH BOTH PARTIES. STARTING UP A RACIST SAYING MAYBE WE NEED GENERATIONAL CHANGE. DEMOCRATS ARE PLAYING THIS OUT IN THE PUBLIC EYE RIGHT NOW. DONALD TRUMP 78 YEARS OLD. HE FACES SOME OF THOSE SAME QUESTIONS. WHAT DO YOU THINK REPUBLICANS DECIDED IT IS NOT TIME FOR GENERATIONAL CHANGE? >> I DON'T THINK HE FACES SOME OF THE SAME QUESTIONS. BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE IN THESE TWO PEOPLE'S ABILITY ONE IS SHOWING UP FOR PUTTING IN FULL 20 HOUR DAYS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. TRAVELING THE COUNTRY. LITERALLY TOOK A BULLET AND GOT RIGHT BACK ON HIS FEET WHILE THE OTHER ONE HAS STRUGGLED GETTING UP THE STAIRS. TO ME THERE IS NO COMPARISON. THE AGE MAY BE SIMILAR TO THE CAPABILITY IS VASTLY DIFFERENT. I THINK EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN WHEN THEY ARE BEING HONEST CAN SEE THAT. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS NEVER BEEN MORE UNIFIED. IF YOU LOOK AT THE LINEUP OF SPEAKERS LAST NIGHT YOU HAD GOVERNOR DESANTIS. AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY. PEOPLE THAT RAN AGAINST THIS PRESIDENT. ALL SUPPORTING HIM. ALL ENDORSE AND COMING TOGETHER TO COALESCE BEHIND THIS PRESIDENT. THE POLAR OPPOSITE OF WHAT IS TAKING PLACE IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. YOU HAVE ALL OF THE MAJOR LEADERSHIP CALLING ON BIDEN TO STEP DOWN. SHOWING THEIR LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN HIS ABILITY. NOT JUST TO WIN BUT TO LEAD. THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT AT THE TOP OF YOUR TICKET. EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT WE HAVE HERE. >> COULD JD VANCE BE PRESIDENT TOMORROW -- THE QUESTION WILL COME UP? >> AGAIN I DON'T KNOW THAT THE AGE MATTERS. IT IS ABOUT CAPABILITY. I THINK HE CERTAINLY COULD. BUT I'M CONFIDENT THAT DONALD TRUMP WILL NOT ONLY LEAVE THIS TICKET HE IS GOING TO LEAVE THIS COUNTRY FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. >> ON SCHOOL CHOICE WHAT EFFECT DO YOU THINK COVID HAD ON PARENTS OBSERVING VIRTUALLY THEIR EDUCATION? TALK TO PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THAT WAS A WINDOW FOR THEM AND NOT ALWAYS SATISFACTORY. >> IS SOMEBODY WHO HAD TO HOMESCHOOL MY KIDS I FOUND OUT QUICKLY I WAS NOT CUT OUT FOR THAT. AND MAKING SURE THEY HAD A PLACE WHERE THEY COULD LEARN THEY COULD HAVE THE ENVIRONMENT NEEDED TO BE SUCCESSFUL. I THINK IT AWAKENED A LOT OF PARENTS TO START PAYING MUCH CLOSER ATTENTION TO WHAT TYPE OF EDUCATION THEIR KIDS ARE GETTING. I THINK WE AWAKENED SOME OF THE SLEEPING BEARS AND A LOT OF MOMS WHO ENGAGED IN THE WAY THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN THEM IN POLITICS. YOU LOOK AT THE VIRGINIA GOVERNOR'S RACE. THEY PUSHED HIM OVER THE EDGE AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS LYNN YOUNG CAN WON. >> I TALKED TO A NUMBER OF VOTERS IN THAT STATE WOMEN WHO SAID THEY VOTED FOR HILLARY CLINTON WERE SICK OF SCHOOLING THEIR KIDS
