Former Vice President and current presidential candidate Mike Pence will take part in the Gridiron Men’s Conference in Huntsville this weekend.
Pence told Dale Jackson the conference brings people together around what he thinks the country needs more of: faith, freedom and family.
“We’re looking forward to being in Alabama today and speaking at a conference that I think holds an awful lot of the keys for how we move our country forward and move our country together,” Pence said.
“I’ve always believed that there’s more that unites us in this country than could ever divide us. And chief among those things are faith in our love of freedom and our love of family. And tonight in Huntsville, at the Waldrep ministries, we’re going to be focusing on just those values and sharing a bit about our faith and the story of our family. And I’m excited to be there.”

They also delved into topics Pence is encumbering more and more as he takes his candidacy across the country.
“Last week, we all lived through a sad day for America,” Pence said. “When we for the first time in history, we saw the unprecedented indictment of a former president of the United States, as I’ve said, the charges brought in the indictment are serious, but former President Trump deserves his day in court, he deserves the opportunity to make his defense and I and I stand by the rule of law.

“I’m going to continue to call on the Justice Department to move forward with the investigations thoroughly in connection with the president and his family, just as they have with regard to my former running mate.”
Tonight, Pence will join Dr. Robert Jeffress and Dr. David Jeremiah, along with Rick Burgess, of the “Rick and Bubba Show” for an interview-style conversation regarding his faith.
“We are looking forward to having Mr. Pence with us to talk about why America needs a spiritual revival,” said conference founder Phil Waldrep in a news release. “This is not a political event and we extended the invitation to Mr. Pence last year, far before he announced his run for president.”
This year’s theme for Gridiron is “Revival.” The two-day men’s event ends Saturday.
