Mike Pence on Conservatism, Indiana Economy, and Trump

Former Vice President and Indiana Governor Mike Pence sits down with Gerry Dick to discuss his new book, "What Conservatives Believe," his assessment of the Trump administration, and his outlook for Indiana's manufacturing and life sciences sectors. Pence outlines his concerns about the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, arguing that any final deal must include full dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program and an end to support for terrorist organizations. He also draws a distinction between policies he supports in the current administration, including border security and tax cut extensions, and those he believes reflect a troubling shift toward populist right thinking, including broad-based tariffs, pharmaceutical price controls, and what he calls the nationalization of American businesses. On Indiana, Pence weighs in on River Ridge Commerce Center's manufacturing ambitions, the state's competitive economic policies, and why he remains optimistic about Indiana's future in life sciences.
