[0:00] BS Sunday morning.
[0:04] >> Can I start?
[0:06] >> We are preparing to go out on this raid.
[0:10] >> We're going to fight as hard as anybody.
[0:11] >> When we take the field, the expectations
[0:13] are to win.
[0:15] >> Did you ever have any doubt that the US
[0:17] military was coming for you?
[0:19] >> 60 Minutes, new CBS Sunday and
[0:22] streaming.
[0:40] It's election night. You want the
[0:42] numbers and results and we have them.

[1:26] year, we're pulling back the curtain and
[1:28] inviting you in. So, I'll be right here
[1:30] with this great team behind me. You will

[1:35] be lively, and we'll make the decisions
[1:37] as all that data comes in, and then
[1:39] you'll know it at the same time that we
[1:42] know it.
[1:42] >> So, turn those coffee pots on. We're
