“I Like Mike” was the campaign Taylor University freshman David Muselman created when a handful of progressive students tried to keep Vice President Mike Pence from visiting Taylor’s campus. 

The Vice President was invited to deliver the 2019 commencement address at the Christian college in Upland, Indiana. When a few leftist students tried to block the Vice President's visit, Muselman rallied the student body in support of Pence through the “I Like Mike" campaign, that spread like wildfire across campus.

Muselman joins the Daily Signal podcast to discuss how the campaign was created and why he chose to take a stand-up for the Vice President.

Also on today's show:

• Vice President Mike Pence joined 1,500 Heritage Foundation members and friends last week at the first ever Heritage honors gala. The vice president addressed a number of the key issues facing our nation right now, including our First Amendment rights.

Andy Puzder has lived the American dream. Raised in a working-class home, he worked his way to become a CEO in the fast food industry. "What I didn't think was, 'That son of a b---- is stealing from us.' Or, 'He's in the 1%,' and we're in whatever percent you were in when your dad sold Fords in the 1960s," Puzder recalls of his childhood experience seeing a rich man's mansion. "What I thought was, 'I could do that.' And thank God I lived in a country where I could do that."
