Welcome to Uncommon Knowledge.

I'm Peter Robinson.

On the program today, an interview we taped in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building,

the presidential complex right across the street from the West Wing of the White House.

Michael Richard Pence is a man of the Heartland born. House. Hanover College in Hanover, Indiana, and received his law degree from Indiana University.

After representing Indiana in the House of Representatives from 2001 to 2013,

he became the 50th Governor of Indiana.

The successor of figures such as John Adams,

our first Vice President, and Thomas Jefferson,

our second Vice President, and George H.W. Bush, our 43rd Vice President.

Mike Pence is now the 48th Vice President of the United States.

Mr. Vice President, thank you for making the time to join us.

Thank you, Peter. Good to see you.

Good to see you.

And welcome to the White House, everybody.

On a 60 Minutes interview this very week, the program played a clip of now Democratic

front runner, Senator Bernie Sanders speaking about Fidel Castro in 1980s.

Here he is explaining why the Cuban people didn't rise up and help the US overthrow Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

He educated their kids, gave them health care totally transformed a society.

We're very opposed to the authoritarian nature. health care totally transformed a society.

We're very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba,

but you know, it's unfair to simply say everything is bad.
