THEN HE SPOKE TO A CROWD OUTSIDE IN THE WINNEBAGO COMPOUN HE CELEBRATED THE NEW NATIONWIDE RETAIL SALES NUMBERS THAT SHOW A 17% INCREASE IN SALES. THAT WAS EXPECTED TO ONLY BE ABOUT AN 8% INCREASE. PENCE ALSO PRAISED WINNEBAGO, CALLING IT A GREAT AMERICAN COMPANY. THE VICE ALSO SAYS PART OF THE COMEBACK IS MAKING SURE THERE'S, QUOTE, “LAW AND ORDER.” >> MOST OF THE MEN AND WOMAN WHO PUT ON THE UNIFORM OF LAW ENFORCEMENT EVERY DAY ARE THE BEST OF US. BUT OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, PRESIDENT TRUMP AND I HAVE TAKEN TIME IN THIS CHALLENGING NATIONAL MOMENT TO LISTEN. WE’VE SAT DOWN WITH LEADERS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. WE’VE SAT DOWN WITH LEADERS IN THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY. AS THE PRESIDENT SAID TODAY FROM THE ROSE GARDEN, WE ARE ONE NATION. TODD: THERE IS A NEW IOWA POLL THAT JUST CAME OUT. IT SHOWS PRESIDENT TRUMP IS JUST ONE POINT AHEAD OF JOE BIDEN IN THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT, REA
