The following is a transcript of an interview with North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum on 'Face the Nation' that aired on June 2, 2024.MARGARET BRENNAN: We turn now to North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. Based on our CBS News reporting, he is under serious consideration by the former president to become his running mate in this campaign. Good morning to you, Governor.GOV.

Well, I have a lot of empathy for what he must feel like, and- because as a business person, I- and I- someone who spent- and I spent 30 years in tech, but a lot of that was in software that dealt with business processes, I've- I've never seen anything like this, where you can, you know, magically take, you know, a transaction that gets spread out over 11- 11 paychecks, or paychecks- 12 vouchers, you know, 11 invoices, and suddenly each of those around one decision, they magically...

Well, I think what's sad for America is the whole weaponization of the- the system. And what we're going to see more of this, I mean, earlier in--MARGARET BRENNAN: You think it's weaponized against Hunter Biden?GOV. Yeah, and North Dakota is down and Iran is up under these policies. And the policies are built around the idea that somehow if you shut down the U.S. energy industry, that- that that's gonna be good for the environment. But when we stop production here, it may be higher than it has been before--MARGARET BRENNAN: It has- it is. GOV.

I was at- I was at that meeting, that did not happen. That is not what happened at that meeting. And that's been reported over and over and over again--MARGARET BRENNAN: Did he ask for a billion dollars in donations?GOV. --people went to hearsay- that weren't at the meeting, on hearsay, report it like it's a fact, when it's not a fact.MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, I'm asking you to make sure. The 'Washington Post' also reported that Trump suggested to those oil executives he would ease scrutiny of industry, mergers and acquisitions if he wins. Do you think that the industry needs to consolidate and Big Oil needs to get bigger?GOV.
