Vice President Mike Pence marked his ninth time on the Conservative Political Action Conference stage by promising that he and President Donald Trump would 'work our hearts out' on behalf of the conservative movement.

Echoing the top of his ticket, who has waged a war with the media since being sworn in, Pence noted, 'the other side is not sitting idle, and their allies in the media are more than willing to amplify their defense of the failed status quo every single day.'

But Pence made sure the audience was aware of the administration's progress thus far, including the fact that the vice president had been told by Trump, 'Mike, just get me the best,' and the vice president had obliged by assembling the likes of Jeff Sessions, James Mattis and Ben Carson.

'Folks, this is the A-team,' Pence said.

'President Trump has assembled the strongest conservative cabinet in my lifetime, bar none,' Pence told the crowd.

Vice President Mike Pence was the final speaker at Thursday's Conservative Political Action Conference, promising members of the movement that he and President Donald Trump would 'work out hearts out'

Mike Pence talked about being tasked with helping President Donald Trump assemble the cabinet. 'Folks, this is the A-team,' he said

The vice president's team tweeted out a number of points he made in his speech, which served as a warm-up act for President Donald Trump's CPAC appearance tomorrow

While Pence was the final speaker of the day, he was merely the opening act for President Donald Trump to storm the annual conference tomorrow morning.

Trump, a CPAC speaker in the past, albeit one who didn't get the kind of wholesale support as a Ted Cruz or a Sarah Palin, will be the first sitting president to address the affair in nine years.

Pence's politics make him a more natural fit for the more traditionally conservative crowd, though he joked that Trump was the better get.

'Some people have remarked that we're a little bit different,' Pence said of the president and the veep.

'You know, I'm a small town guy, he's big city. I'm Midwest, he's Manhattan island,' Pence said.

'He's known for his bigger-than-life personality, his charm and his charisma,' Pence continued.

'And I'm, like – not,' the former Indiana governor said to laughs.

Pence did, however, rile up the crowd throughout his speech.

'History will attest, every time America produces a leader who builds on this firm foundation, our nation reaches heights that once seemed unreachable,' he said, using soaring rhetoric.

'And let me assure you, President Trump is such a leader. And under his leadership, we are making America great again,' Pence said.

Pence ticked off a number of Trump's campaign promises.

Of the administration's pro-life ambitions he told the crowd, 'Because of Donald Trump, life is winning in America again.'

'After we repeal and replace Obamacare, we're going to do a whole lot more,' he pledged.

'We're going to start off by rebuilding the American military. We'll restore the arsenal of democracy. We'll provide our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guard with the resources and training they need to accomplish their mission and come home safe,' he continued.

'And we will hunt down and destroy ISIS at its source, so it can no longer threaten our nation or our families,' he said to huge applause.

Pence, who refers to himself as a 'born again, evangelical Catholic,' got a raucous reaction for quoting scripture, 2 Chronicles 7:14, and then blending it into the Pledge of Allegiance.

He also asked the crowd to pray for the new administration.

'Now more than ever, as we did before when this movement won back the Congress in 2010 and ... won back the White House in 2016, we gotta do what we did before. We gotta mobilize,' he said.

'We gotta march forward as if it's the most important time in the history of our movement,' he said.

'Because it is,' he concluded.
