The Republican National Convention that begins tomorrow in Cleveland will star Donald
Trump and his chosen running mate the governor of Indiana, Mike Pence.
The Republican leadership has praised Pence as a good choice to unite the party. He's known
as a reliable conservative with close ties to the religious right and he also has good relations
with Republicans in Congress, having served six terms in the House of Representatives.

The Republican Ticket: Trump and Pence - CBS News

We had the chance to ask the two of them about that in their first and only interview
together, yesterday afternoon in New York, in Trump's three-story penthouse apartment in
the Trump Tower.

White H

Lesley Stahl: First of all, Governor Pence, congratulations.
Mike Pence: Thank you.

"It's very, very humbling and I couldn't be more
honored to have the opportunity to run with, and serve
with, the next president of the United States."
Lesley Stahl: This has probably come as a huge, life-changing moment for you..
Mike Pence: It has. It's very, very humbling and I couldn't be more honored to have the
opportunity to run with, and serve with, the next president of the United States.
Lesley Stahl: Before we actually talk about the politics, you know, there've been so many
major world events very recently, in the last week. I don't know if you can remember the last
time we have seen a world this much in chaos. You even said, "It's spinning apart." Are you
ready for this world that we are facing today?

60 MINUTES OVERTIME

Mike Pence on waging war
against radical Islam
Donald Trump: We're both ready. I've no doubt. We need toughness. We need strength.
Obama's weak, Hillary's weak. And part of it is that, a big part of it. We need law and order.
We need strong borders.
Lesley Stahl: But all reactions to what's been going on aren't muscular. For example, look
what happened in Turkey. There was a military coup in a democratic country; a NATO ally.
How would you respond to that?
Donald Trump: Well, as a president, I'm going to be-- you know, they've been an ally and I
stay with our allies. They have been an ally. But that was a quick coup. I was actually
surprised to see how well it was handled. And you know who really handled it? The people.
So, I mean, we can say what we want, but the people handled it. When they surrounded the
army tanks and without the people, you would've never had it. The military would've taken
over.

"We're both ready. I've no doubt. We need toughness. We
need strength. Obama's weak, Hillary's weak."
Mike Pence: But I truly do believe that the larger issue here is declining American power in
the world. I truly do believe that history teaches that weakness arouses evil and whether it
be the horrific attack in France, the inspired attacks here in the United States, the instability
in Turkey that led to a coup. I think that is all a result of a foreign policy of Hillary Clinton
and Barack Obama that has led from behind and that has sent an inexact, unclear message
about American resolve. One of the reasons why I said yes in a heartbeat to run with this
man, is because he embodies American strength, and I know that he will provide that kind of
broad-shouldered American strength on the global stage as well.
Lesley Stahl: Let's talk about what happened in Nice, horrendous, carnage, horrible-Donald Trump: Horrible.

Lesley Stahl: Horrible. You said you would declare war against ISIS. What exactly do you
have-Donald Trump: It is war. By the way, it is war.
Lesley Stahl: No, but does that-- when you say, "Declare war," do you want to send American
troops in there? Is that what you mean?
Donald Trump: Look, we have people that hate us. We have people that want to wipe us out.
We're gonna declare war against ISIS. We have to wipe out ISIS. These are people that--

60 MINUTES OVERTIME

Did Trump consider his
daughter for vice president?
Lesley Stahl: With troops on the ground?
Donald Trump: I am going to have very few troops on the ground. We're going to have
unbelievable intelligence, which we need; which, right now, we don't have. We don't have the
people over there. We are going to use-Lesley Stahl: You want to send Americans-Donald Trump: Excuse me-- and we're going to have surrounding states and, very
importantly, get NATO involved because we support NATO far more than we should, frankly,
because you have a lot of countries that aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing. And
we have to wipe out ISIS. And speaking of Turkey, Turkey is an ally. Turkey can do it by
themselves. But they have to be incentivized. For whatever reason, they're not. So we have
no choice.
Lesley Stahl: But I still don't know if you're going to send troops over-Donald Trump: Very little. I'm gonna-Lesley Stahl: But declare war-Donald Trump: --get neighboring states and I'm going to get-- we are going to get NATO; we're
going to wipe 'em out. We're gonna-Lesley Stahl: But declare war?
Mike Pence: Lesley-Lesley Stahl: What does that mean-Mike Pence: This is-- this is the kind-- this is the kind of leadership that America needs and
it-Lesley Stahl: But what-Mike Pence: -and it begins with deciding to destroy the enemies of our freedom.
Lesley Stahl: How?
Mike Pence: And how we do that? I have every confidence. You-- you remember I served on
the Foreign Affairs Committee. And I'm very confident that when Donald Trump becomes
president of the United States, he'll give a directive to our military commanders, bring
together other nations, and we will use the enormous resources of the United States to
destroy that enemy.

Trump and Pence's shared
values
Donald Trump: Now look, we are going to get rid of ISIS, big league. And we're going to get rid
of 'em fast. And we're going to use surrounding states. We're going to use NATO, probably.
And we're going to declare war. It is war. When the World Trade Center comes tumbling
down, with thousands of people being killed, people are still-- I have friends that are still-Lesley Stahl: But we did go to war, if you remember. We went to Iraq.
Donald Trump: Yeah, you went to Iraq, but that was handled so badly. And that was a war-by the way, that was a war that we shouldn't have entered because Iraq did not knock down-excuse me
Lesley Stahl: Your running mate-Donald Trump: Iraq did not-Lesley Stahl: --voted for it.
Donald Trump: I don't care.
Lesley Stahl: What do you mean you don't care that he voted for?
Donald Trump: It's a long time ago. And he voted that way and they were also misled. A lot of
information was given to people.
Lesley Stahl: But you've harped on this.
Donald Trump: But I was against the war in Iraq from the beginning.
Lesley Stahl: Yeah, but you've used that vote of Hillary's that was the same as Governor
Pence as the example of her bad judgment.

60 MINUTES OVERTIME

Trump OK with Pence's vote
for Iraq war, but not
Clinton's
Donald Trump: Many people have, and frankly, I'm one of the few that was right on Iraq.
Lesley Stahl: Yeah, but what about he-Donald Trump: He's entitled to make a mistake every once in a while.
Lesley Stahl: But she's not? OK, come on-Donald Trump: But she's not-Lesley Stahl: She's not?
Donald Trump: No. She's not.
Lesley Stahl: Got it.
Lesley Stahl: I have to move on or we're never gonna find out why he chose you. Why did
you pick him? You had other candidates-Donald Trump: OK, I did. I had a lot of people that wanted it; a lot more people than

Lesley Stahl: That came to you and begged you for it?
Donald Trump: That called me and came to me and wanted it badly. And you know, the press
didn't report that. The press said, "Well, maybe he's having hard time picking--"
Lesley Stahl: Well, what about the governor? Did he want it like that?
Donald Trump: I actually brought it up to him.
Lesley Stahl: OK.
Donald Trump: I got to know him during the-- when I was in Indiana during the primaries,
and I did very well in Indiana, like I did just about everywhere else in all fairness. But-- I got
to know him very well and I gained great respect for him. And I looked at the numbers,
meaning the financials, which we would say in business. But I looked at the numbers.
Unemployment? What a great job he did. Jobs? What a great job he did. Triple-A rating on his
bonds.
Lesley Stahl: --but you went to him and said-Donald Trump: I did-Lesley Stahl: Would you want to be considered-Donald Trump: I broached it.
Lesley Stahl: He didn't -- And then he said, "I-- I really want it." So why did you pick him?
Donald Trump: I would say that he thought about it a little bit. And about two seconds later,
he called me, with his incredible wife, and said-Lesley Stahl: That I'd like to be-- but what-Donald Trump: Like many others.
Lesley Stahl: How does he help you? How does he help you win in terms of groups of people?
And what is your weakness that he compensates for and so forth-Donald Trump: Well, I went for the quality individual rather than I'm gonna win a state,
because I'm doing very well in Indiana, and I guess I'm a lot up. And I think I'm gonna win
Indiana. I have a great relationship and Bobby Knight helped me so much with Indiana.
Indiana's a great place; great state.
Lesley Stahl: Why didn't you pick him? No, I'm joking -- moving on.
Donald Trump: He would've been very good. But he's a terrific guy. But-- but I really like him
as an individual.
Lesley Stahl: So you must've considered, obviously, by the reaction to your choice, a lot of the
conservatives are very happy.
Donald Trump: Very happy.
Lesley Stahl: Was that part of the-Donald Trump: Yes, it was party unity. I'm an outsider. I am a person that used to be
establishment when I'd give them hundreds of thousands of dollars. But when I decided to
run, I became very anti-establishment because I understand the system-Lesley Stahl: Is he establishment?
Donald Trump: --than anybody else. He's very establishment, in many ways, and that's not a
bad thing. But I will tell you-Lesley Stahl: That's kind of interesting -Donald Trump: --I have seen more people that, frankly, did not like me so much, and now
they're saying, "What a great pick." You see the kinda reaction. He has helped bring the party

together. I understand. Look, I got more votes than anybody, but I also understand there's a
faction-Lesley Stahl: Is it already unified, do you think?
Donald Trump: I think it's very close to unified. And I will say-Lesley Stahl: Just because of this pick?
Donald Trump: No. I think it's be-- I think it was much more unified than people thought. You
saw that with the recent vote where we won in a landslide. You saw that with the big vote, the
primary vote. I think it's far more unified than the press lets on. But having Governor Mike
Pence has really-- people that I wasn't necessarily liking or getting along are loving this pick,
because they have such respect for him.
Lesley Stahl: And that was-Donald Trump: And the party unity is OK. You know, I think it's OK to say I picked somebody,
because I-- as one of the things. But I really believe the main reason I picked him is the
incredible job he's done. Just look at the economics of Indiana-Lesley Stahl: Indiana-Donald Trump: --and what's going on.
Lesley Stahl: But what about the chemistry between you two? You don't really know each
other that well. You're -- at least I've read, a very low-key, very religious, you're a brash New
Yorker-Donald Trump: Religious.
Lesley Stahl: Religious?
Donald Trump: Religious-Lesley Stahl: Are you?
Donald Trump: Yea, religious.
Lesley Stahl: --you wouldn't-Donald Trump: Hey, I won the evangelicals. The evangelicals-Lesley Stahl: That doesn't-Mike Pence: You know, nobody thought-Donald Trump: --well, I think it means a lot. I don't think they think I'm perfect, and they
would get up and they would say, "You know, he's not perfect," but-Lesley Stahl: They'd point to the -Donald Trump: --they like me-Lesley Stahl: --divorces-Donald Trump: --but I won-- I won states with evangelicals that nobody thought I'd even
come close to-Lesley Stahl: Well, that's true-Donald Trump:-and I won-Lesley Stahl: --so you didn't (UNINTEL)-Donald Trump: --with landslides-Lesley Stahl: --need him for the evangelicals?

Donald Trump: --what might be immediately obvious.
Lesley Stahl: Besides issues. Values and things like that.
Donald Trump: I think we will have very, very good chemistry. I feel that. And I can feel that
pretty early on. I don't think you need to be with somebody for two years to find that out. My
feeling isLesley Stahl: Your gut feeling.
Donald Trump: I knew him during the primaries, during many trips to Indiana, I'd be with
him. I think we have a great chemistry.
Lesley Stahl: I want to ask you though about something you've said about negative
campaigning.
Donald Trump: Yeah.
Lesley Stahl: You said negative campaigning is wrong, and a campaign ought to demonstrate
the basic decency of the candidate.
Mike Pence: Right.
Lesley Stahl: With that in mind, what do you think about your running mate's campaign and
the tone and the negativity of it?
Mike Pence: I think this is a good man who's been talking about the issues the American
people care about.
Lesley Stahl: But name-calling?
Mike Pence: In that-Lesley Stahl: "Lyin' Ted?"
Mike Pence: --in the essay that I wrote a long time ago, I said campaigns oughta be about

hesitation, were I privileged to be vice president, to walk into the president's office, close the
door, and share my heart. And I also know this good man would listen, and has the
leadership qualities to draw from the people around him.
Lesley Stahl: Let's talk about-- some of the issues. Because there seems to be some daylight
between you two, and we can just tick-- go quickly through these. Immigration. Mr. Trump,
you have called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States. Do you agree
with that?
Mike Pence: I do. In fact, in Indiana we suspended the Syrian refugee program in the wake of
the terrorist attack. We have no higher priority than the safety and security of the people of
this country, and Donald Trump-Lesley Stahl: Now-Mike Pence: --is right to-Lesley Stahl: --in December-Mike Pence: --articulate that view.

off heads, who drown people in steel cages and we can't do waterboarding-Lesley Stahl: OK, but, but why-Donald Trump: OK, they're not playing-Lesley Stahl: --would you use their-Donald Trump: --under -- because you know-Lesley Stahl: --techniques?
Donald Trump: --what, those techniques get information. I don't care what anyone says.
Lesley Stahl: Are you agreeing with him?
Mike Pence: I am-Donald Trump: And get information-Mike Pence: --what I-Donald Trump: --using those things.
Mike Pence: --what I can tell you is enhanced information gleaned information that saved
American lives and, I was informed, prevented incoming terrorist attacks on this country
from being successful. The American people expect the president of the United States to be
prepared to support action to protect the people of this nation, and I know Donald Trump
will.
Lesley Stahl: Have you answered me?
Mike Pence: I have.
Lesley Stahl: Let's talk about the convention. You're a showman. What are you going to do to
keep it from being a snooze-o-rama, as some have happened.
Donald Trump: Well, I think we're gonna have an exciting time. We've got some wonderful
speakers. We have some very talented people. My family's gonna speak.
Lesley Stahl: Worried about violence outside? This is an open-carry state. People can carry
guns. There'll be demonstrators. They've already said they're going to carry assault rifles. Are
you worried? And would you call on people not to carry their guns?
Donald Trump: I have great faith in law enforcement. If they don't want to take their guns, I
think that's fantastic. But I have great confidence in law enforcement. The police like Donald
Trump. It's law and order. And I have great confidence that they will do a great job.
Lesley Stahl: There's no question in anybody's mind that you want to win this election. I
don't think anyone would doubt that. But what about being president? Do you really want to
be president of the United States?
Donald Trump: I want to make America great again. Honestly. I want to make Am-- I'm not
doing this because-- I'm sacrificing tremendous things. I could be doing other things. It's

lovely to sit down with you and be grilled. That's okay. But I could be doing other things right
now. And I have some of the greatest properties in the world. I could be out there-Lesley Stahl: Would you rather be out there?
Donald Trump: I tell you what. I've really enjoyed this process. I've gotten to know the people
of this country. I've gotten to know places that I didn't know, that I read about, but I didn't
know. I've also gotten to see the problems. And it's a movement.
Donald Trump: Now, when you ask me the question, do I wanna be?
Lesley Stahl: Yeah.
Donald Trump: I wanna be for one reason. I wanna make America safe again, and I wanna
make America great again. That's why I'm doing this. And I love it.
Lesley Stahl: And you wanna govern? I mean it-Donald Trump: I do wanna govern.
Lesley Stahl: It is different-Donald Trump: I do-Lesley Stahl: --building a movement-Donald Trump: I govern my-- I-Lesley Stahl: -and than-- going in there with the nitty gritty and-Lesley Stahl: --all that tough decision making.
Donald Trump: Sure. No, no I wanna govern
Lesley Stahl: OK, this is my absolute final question.
Donald Trump: OK.
Lesley Stahl: You're not known to be a humble man. But I wonder-Donald Trump: I think I am, actually humble. I think I'm much more humble than you would
understand.
Lesley Stahl: As you think about-- prospect of running this country in these tough times
where the world is spinning apart-- are you awed? Are you intimidated? Are you humbled by
the enormity of this?
Donald Trump: You just said it best.
Mike Pence: Mmm.
Donald Trump: In a world that's spinning apart. That's what I'm thinking of. I'm not thinking
of, "Oh gee, isn't this wonderful? Isn't this great what I've done?" I've had people that said, "It
doesn't matter if you win or lose, what you've done has never been done before. You're
gonna go down in the history books." You know what I say to 'em?" I say, "You're wrong." I will
consider it, 'cause I funded my own primaries, I'm funding now a lot of this campaign. I'm
putting in, you know-- I've spent $55 million in the primaries. I'm spending a fortunate now.
I'll tell you, it is spinning. Our world is spinning out of control. Our country's spinning out of
control. That's what I think about. And I'll stop that.
Lesley Stahl: Not-- humbled or-- awe.
Mike Pence: I can say to 'ya-- what-Lesley Stahl: Go ahead.
Mike Pence: Talking with him in private settings, I love the words you used because this man
is awed with the American people, and he is not intimidated by the world. And Donald
Trump, this good man, I believe, will be a great president of the United States.

POST COMMENT AS...

We learned three things from Stahl's supine "interview" with Trump.
(1) -- CBS is not the BBC -- it is driven by need for ratings and not the pursuit of objective truth.
(2) -- '60 Minutes" -- a mere shadow of its former self --is no match for hard investigative programs like
"BBC Panorama" or "BBC NewsHour"
and ... (3) -- Lesley Stahl probably induces convulsions in the corpses of past 60-Minutes greats such as
Mike Wallace, Ed Bradley, and Bob Simon.
She needs to take a week off to watch all reporting by Christiane Amanpour -- well-prepared, incisive,
and tenacious.
At the very least Stahl should google "Trump Iraq War" for her next interview with Drumpf.

Why isn't 60 minutes covering Gary Johnson and Bill Weld? You have the Democratic and Republican
Ticket, but no Libertarian ticket. People dislike Trump and Clinton so much, but the media is acting like
they will be the only 2 choices on every ballot. Please take the lead and start covering Gary and Bill like
you do the other candidates.

Lesley Stahl could not stop herself from asking the same question 20 difference ways!! Just like a
parrot! Boots on the Ground? Boots on the Ground?? Just like George bush, just like George bush, she
said!! At first I was upset that Trump did not call all her out on this. But after I watch this a second time.
Trump really ran the board and come out with new ideas and answers to the old mainstream media on
how they treat the GOP He did very well against her. Stayed on target and made her look so bias, which
.
she is!

Leslie Stahl is amazing in that she held a straight face through the interview! These guys are
unbelievable, and it is hard to believe America even takes these guys seriously - they are utter
buffoonery. I'm afraid for America and these guys leading the world into WW III. Praying for the world,
and grateful to be living above the 49th.

I am 20 years old. A female. A college student. This is my first election I will get the opportunity to vote.
This interview makes me proud to say that I will vote for Donald Trump and Mike Pence. If only people
would be more optimistic while watching interviews like this. If only our country could be more positive
when watching, hearing and seeing how the media portrays Trump and Pence then maybe our nation
would really come together. Open-mindedness creates space for unity. Close-mindedness creates
separation. God Bless.

Lesley Stahl should never engage in challenging interviews. This was complete off-the-rails train wreck.
She asked nothing. Trump only blew his own horn but doesn't have any idea of what he's doing. Mike
Pence is supposed to be an experienced politician, having served both in the U.S. House and as governor
of Indiana. But he seems only to have nodded blankly and kissed Trump's a$$.

@madagascanlemur Interesting - by the way, this system will not allow me to type other than all
caps, so I'm not shouting - I watched and thought Lesley did a very good job. Mike made clear
his positions, and both he and trump made their plans and positions clear. I find it interesting
that we got different impressions. That's what makes horse races and elections.

I think we are totally screwed - we have evil vs evil yet again and it seems to get worse every election
year... Time to get rid of the death grip that the GOP and Dems have on our country before they totally
destroy our country and freedom. Tyrant vs tyrant with Trump only being a little less evil is not a choice
that should be forced on us... but, they have it all rigged so that only the GOP or Dems can win. God help
us all...

I think we just got a demonstration of how little Trump is analyzing the world, the prospects of another
war, the effects of his attacks on EU and NATO, very little to nothing on american economy, and all
through the interview: How his personality may do the job on a building site, board room or on a tv
screen in the late hours - as on a stage. But how can this man be able to walk the walk with all the real
tigers in politics, abroad and in USA? He wouldn't fit in their shoes.
Of course Putin wants this man, as he says when he tells he likes him. He can be so easily handled. That
is what this interview shows.

They make an excellent team.... I love the fact that Trump is NOT political correct, and Pence is very
fluent in the political correctness, they speak both spectrums of the languages but on the same track.
They present the same message. I believe the chemistry will work successfully, since they both project
Americans first. It's clear that The people are very paranoid to choose who will be our next POTUS. I am
confident Trump will do a great job... His reasoning on his VP pick is truly profound, not even superficial
on his VP pick. Pence took Indiana to a new level of success.... he impressed me after reading all he did
for Indiana state. This will work.
