Lesley stahl tonight, in what has become an Election Year tradition for 60 minutes, conversations with the Major Party Candidates for president and Vice President of the United States. Later, Norah Odonnell interviews former Vice President joe biden and his running mate senator Kamala Harris, but we begin with President Donald Trump and Vice President mike pence. I spoke with the president on tuesday in the roosevelt room at the white house. We had prepared to talk about the many issues and questions facing the president , but in what has become an alltoo public dustup, the conversation was cut short. It began politely, but ended regrettably, contentiously. Are you ready for some tough questions . President donald trump youre gonna be fair. Stahl are you g President Trump just be stahl im gonna be fair. President trump just be fair. Stahl but youre okay with some tough questions . President trump no, im not. I mean stahl laugh youre not okay with tough questions . President trump i want em to be fair. You you dont ask biden tough questions. President trump okay. Are you ready stahl you ready . Everybody ready . So we have the pandemic. On your watch, weve had racial strife, weve had looting. Why do you want this job . Why do you want to be president again . President trump because weve done a great job and its not finished yet. And when i finish, this country will be in a position like it hasnt been maybe ever. The economy is already roaring back. And other people arent gonna bring it back, certainly the person that were dealing with is not gonna bring it back. Theyre gonna raise taxes. Stahl let me ask you what you think your the biggest domestic priority is for you right now. President trump well stahl or next year. President trump ultimately, le let me and i ill tell you, it was happening. We created the greatest economy in the history of our country. And the other side was stahl you know that you know President Trump coming in stahl thats not true. President trump it is totally true. Stahl no. It isnt, but President Trump did have an impressive string of economic accomplishments. President trump we had the best stock market price ever and were getting close to that price again. The unemployment numbers for african americans, for asian americans, for hispanic americans. Virtually every number was the best. And what was happening is things were coming together stahl w i asked you whats the priority . I mean, those are all the good things President Trump the priority now stahl what do you have to solve . President trump is to get back to normal. Get back to where we were. To have the economy rage and be great with jobs and everybody be happy. And thats where were going, and thats where were heading. Stahl and who is our biggest foreign adversary . President trump i would say china. Theyre an adversary. Theyre a stahl theyre the biggest . President trump competitor. Theyre a foe in many ways, but theyre an adversary. I think what happened was disgraceful, should never have happened. Should they should never have allowed this plague to get out of china and go throughout the world. 188 countries. Should never have happened. Stahl four years ago, you were behind in the polls, as you are now, and you pulled it out. But this time, you have kind of a double migraine. You have unemployment claims going up. You have covid cases going up. I mean, its like the gods have suddenly decided decided to conspire against you President Trump i dont think so at all, no. I think weve done stahl well, what about the President Trump a great job with covid. Stahl sir, excuse me, cases are up in about 40 states. President trump okay you know why cases are up also . Because we do more testing. The Fake News Media loves to say cases are up. The fact is, weve done a very, very good job stahl cases are up. President trump we have done thats right because were doing so much testing. Stahl there is increased testing, but according to the covid tracking project, that doesnt account for all of the rise in new cases sweeping the country, or the 40 increase in hospitalizations in the past month. When youre out there saying weve turned the corner, this thing is disappearing President Trump thats right. We have turned stahl and people can see President Trump the corner. We have turned the corner. Understand the disease. We understand the elderly, and we are taking care of them like nobodys ever taken care of them. So we are taking care of our people. Stahl okay. Let me let me ask you something about suburban women. President trump yeah. Suburban women will you please like me . Please, please. I saved your damn neighborhood, okay . Stahl you said the other day to suburban women, will you please like me . Please, please President Trump oh, i didnt say that. You know, thats so misleading, the way y i say jokingly, suburban women, you should love me because im giving you security. And i got rid of the worst regulation see, the way you said that stahl yeah . President trump is why people think of you and everyone else as fake news. I said kiddingly, suburban women, you should love me. I got rid of a regulation stahl you said, quote President Trump that would bring lowincome housing into suburbia that is destroying that would destroy suburbia. And i said that in a joking way. The way you have it, its like, oh, like im begging. I w im kidding. Play it, and im kidding. That is such a misleading question, lesley. Stahl but youre behind with suburban women in the polls. President trump i doubt it. I doubt it. I really doubt it. Stahl one of the reasons is that they dont feel youre being upfront about the pandemic. Are you deliberately downplaying it . President trump were rounding the corner. Were doing well. Were doing well. We understand the disease. Weve done a good job. Weve done maybe a great job. What we havent done a good job on is convincing people like you because youre really quite impossible to convince, but thats okay. And the economy now is coming back and its coming back very strongly, and people see that, lesley. Stahl there are more unemployment claims i mean, the economy has kind of President Trump lesley, we just picked up stahl stalled a little bit. President trump 11. 4 million jobs. Its the largest number in the history of our country stahl it is true that of the 22 million jobs lost since february, 11. 4 million have been restored. Yet unemployment claims are running at historically high levels. But the president sees the economy as his strongest suit. President trump gallup did a poll 56 of the people said that theyre better off now, during a pandemic, than they were during obama and biden. 56 . It was a record number. Stahl can we go back for one second to the pandemic, because you called dr. Fauci and other Health Officials idiots. President trump where did i call him an idiot . Stahl you called them idiots. I wonder if you think President Trump well, hes been wrong a lot. I like him, but hes been wrong a lot. Stahl i wonder if you think that masks dont work. President trump i feel masks possibly work. But certainly you want to stay away a certain distance, socially distance, et cetera. But i would say a mask works. And i have nothing against masks. And i tell people to wear masks. I have no problem stahl well, tell me then about these rallies youve been having President Trump a lot of people are Wearing Masks, and theyre outside. Stahl with people a lot of people arent. Im im watching all these people jammed in together, and im seeing most of them without masks. And im wondering the message that youre sending with these pictures coming across television President Trump take a look. Yesterday we were in arizona, recordsetting rallies. Numbers of people like nobodys seen before. Stahl you used to have bigger rallies. President trump no, these are much bigger than i ever had. Stahl okay, i dont want to bicker over that. President trump you know, youre youre stahl tell me about the mask wearing. President trump so negative. Youre so negative. These are the biggest rallies weve ever had. You just come in here with that negative attitude. These are the biggest rallies weve ever had. Stahl but i cant believe, after what happened in the rose garden here, after the announcement, with all the people getting sick President Trump yeah. Stahl that you are not being more strongly encouraging about Wearing Masks prsident trump i am. Stahl at your rallies President Trump i tell people to wear masks stahl but you dont. President trump lesley, we hand out thousands of masks at every rally. Stahl but you look out and theyre not wearing them. You dont get up there and say, look. You know, come on. I dont want you to President Trump whats your whats your next stahl get sick. President trump question, lesley . Were outside. The rallies are bigger than theyve ever been. Theres more enthusiasm than weve ever had. There has never been anything like what youre witnessing now, and youll see that soon. Stahl okay, ill ask you another health question, okay . Told you. You promised that there was gonna be a new health package, a Health Care Plan. President trump yeah. Stahl you said that it was, gonna be great, you said its ready, its gonna be ready President Trump it will be. Stahl itll be here in two weeks. Its gonna be like nothing youve ever seen before. And of course we havent seen it. So why didnt you develop a health plan . President trump it is developed, it is fully developed. Its going to be announced very soon stahl when . President trump when we see what happens with obamacare. Stahl if the Supreme Court ends this obamacare President Trump well, were gonna have to see what happens. I think i hope that they end it. Itll be so good if they end it stahl and if they end it people with preexisting conditions will be stranded. And thats just a fact. President trump no, no. Its wrong. Stahl no President Trump its wrong. A new plan will happen. Stahl but will President Trump and we wont do anything will and is. We wont do anything and no plan unless we have preexisting conditions covered. Stahl with little more than a week till the election, the president has been barnstorming the swing states where the polls are tight, including florida, wisconsin, pennsylvania and here in michigan. Can you characterize your supporters . President trump yeah, i think i can. People that love our country. More than anything else and they like to see our country thrive. Stahl but do you think that when you hold rallies and encourage people to say, lock her up, the way you President Trump i dont encourage them. They say it. Stahl and you enjoy it you dont say, dont do that President TrumpHillary Clinton, let let me just tell you Hillary Clinton deleted, she deleted 33,000 emails after she got a subpoena from the United States congress. Stahl but why is this still an issue . Why do people, theyre not gonna vote on that President Trump i think its an issue. To me its an issue. Stahl she ran last time. President trump excuse me. When they say lock her up, its not me. They say it. It starts, it it ends up being stahl you encourage it. President trump i dont encourage it. Stahl yes, you do. President trump no. If i mention her name about something, they go crazy. Stahl well, what about the governor of michigan . Governor Gretchen Whitmer was the target of a kidnapping plot by an armed militia group. President trump it was our Justice Department that is the one thats helping her. My Justice Department, if you call it that stahl yes, yes the f. B. I. President trump it was our Justice Department thats helping her. And, you know, people arent so, theyre not liking her so much, cause shes got everybody locked down. Youve gotta get your governor to open up your state, okay. l lock her up lock her up President Trump lock iem all up stahl you are very powerful, and the people who love you, love you with passion. And if you go after somebody the way youve been going after her, they take it to heart President Trump i havent gone after her. Stahl and they, then there are plots and threats, and the same with dr. President trump i havent gone after her. Stahl you did. President trump ive helped her. It was our Justice Department stahl you did go after you you criticized her President Trump thats helping her. Oh, i do criticize her, yeah. Stahl well, thats going after her President Trump i think the way she locked down michigan is a disgrace. Stahl but when you President Trump the way she closed churches in michigan is a disgrace. I yeah, i think its disgraceful what shes done. I do. Stahl you want to lock her up . President trump and, by the way, thats other of course, i dont want to lock her up. Why would i lock her up . Stahl because you were in front of a rally of people saying it, encouraging it. President trump lesley, its such a vicious thing you just said. I never said, lock up the governor of michigan. I would never say that. Stahl do you take any responsibility for the country being divided against itself . Do you feel that . President trump id like not to, but, you know, perhaps everybody has to take a little responsibility for it. But when people put out phony witch hunts, you know, when they spy on your campaign, you have to fight back. And if you dont fight back, youre not sitting here very long. You go back home. You go back home to mommy. Stahl the president s accusations against the biden family, the abrupt end of our conversation and Vice President mike pences assessment of what happened, when we return.
