CBS "Face the Nation" interviews for 2023 races: on Principles & Values


Doug Burgum: The best of America is when neighbors help neighbors

When we talk about the best of America, growing up in a small town, the best of America is when neighbors help neighbors. When a farmer in North Dakota falls ill, the neighbors rally around, whether it's to get the crop planted or the crop harvested. Every spring in western North Dakota in the Badlands, when it's time for spring branding and roundup, the neighbors show up. They couldn't get the work done if they weren't neighbors helping neighbors. And we need to get back to that.

Doug Burgum: The best of America is when neighbors help neighbors

The best of America is when neighbors help neighbors, when, when, when a farmer in North Dakota falls ill, the neighbors rally around – whether it's to get the crop planted or the crop harvested, you know, every spring in western North Dakota in the Badlands, when it's time for spring branding and round up, the neighbors show up. They couldn't get the work done if they weren't neighbors helping neighbors. And we need to get back to that.

Mike Pence: I'm a Bible-believing Christian

In Lorie Smith's case, she made it clear she would take all customers in her website design, she just simply said that she could not create a website that would celebrate something that violated her religious beliefs. I'm a Bible-believing Christian. I believe that every American is entitled to live, to work, to worship according to the dictates of their conscience. I'm so grateful that a strong majority of the court gave a victory for the religious freedom of every American of every faith.

Mike Pence: America is the leader of the free world

I went to Ukraine because America is the leader of the free world. We're the arsenal of democracy. I think President Joe Biden has truly failed to explain to the American people what our national interest is there. I'm someone that believes that it's absolutely essential that the United States continue to provide military support to the Ukrainian military to push back on Russian aggression.

Chris Christie: Politicians pit groups against each other to create conflict

We're dividing our country into smaller and smaller and smaller pieces. And politicians are pitting them against each other to create conflict. And that's not going to make the country bigger, better, stronger, or freer. But if we improve our entire education system our kids' test scores are not going down, but going up, and they can get great jobs and be more competitive with the rest of the world. That's the kind of thing a president should be inspiring people to do.

Mike Pence: The freedom of religion is our first freedom

I would say to every American that the freedom of religion is our first freedom, that's enshrined in the First Amendment for a reason. And from the moment the Supreme Court recognized same-sex marriage, the court had made a commitment that as they move forward on that decision, that they would still respect the freedom of religion and the freedom of conscience of every American. I believe that every American is entitled to live, to work, to worship according to the dictates of their conscience.
