Summary

Since the launch of Operation Epic Fury over two weeks ago, President Trump has said the U.S. has been very successful targeting Iran’s missiles and launchers, as well as its navy and its nuclear program. However, many Democrats and even some Republicans—including some members of the MAGA movement—have pushed back against the President’s decision to strike Iran. But one big Trump supporter in this conflict is his former Vice President, Mike Pence. Earlier this week, Vice President Pence joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to discuss Operation Epic Fury. He explained why the President’s critics are wrong about their concerns surrounding Israel and the U.S. efforts to dismantle Iran’s regime. Despite their falling out after the 2020 election, Pence told the Rundown why he applauds the Commander-in-Chief’s objectives and timing. He also discussed his work as the founder of Advancing American Freedom and what the GOP should focus on as the fall midterms approach. We often have to trim our interviews during the week, but we thought you’d like to hear the full conversation. Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our complete interview with former Vice President Mike Pence. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
