the most common side effects include redness, pain, itching, swelling, hard lump warmth or bruising at the injection site and headache. it's important to talk to your doctor about what situations you may need to avoid since zostavax contains a weakened chickenpox virus. remember one in three people get shingles in their lifetime, will it be you? talk you to your doctor or pharmacist about me, single shot zostavax. you've got a shot against shingles.

>> he never said that. >> you have no problem with japan, south korea having nuclear weapons. >> at some point, we have to say you know what, we're better off if japan protects itself against this maniac in north korea. we're better off frankly if south korea is going to start to protect itself. saudi arabia, absolutely. >> governor pence is with us from gettysburg, pennsylvania. good morning, governor. >> good morning. >> some have said at your performance, praised your performance in the debate and said that the strategy was to deflect, to deflect, rather than defend, your running mate. >> well, first, respond, let me thank you for all the attention that this program and the network is pay iing to the approaching hurricane. our hearts go out to those families who lost loveded ones in haiti and our hearts and prayers go out to our neighbors

encourage people to support the red cross and other efforts that are likely going to have to step forward in the hours and the days ahead. but i will tell you, charlie, i was very humbled, honored to be on that stage to tell the story about donald trump's vision to make america great again. it was my great privilege to go out and be honest with you, i know as some have said that i won the debate. i'll leave that to other, but i believe that donald trump won the it was donald trump's vision to america great again. donald trump's aspirations for this country, the policies he's been articulating that i carry forward. >> he said it was his -- >> draw a contrast in this debate and as i said, it was a privilege for me to be there. >> governor pence, he's claiming credit, he said it was his good judgment in choosing you as his first hire. you think that's an example of

pointers this sunday night. >> well, look, i honestly, obviously, i'm very humbled by his esteem and by the kind word of other, but i think the reason why has built an extraordinary business, career, is because he has had the judgment to make it through tough times. you saw those tax releases from 20 years ago. he faced enormous losses in his business. he led an incredible comeback b drawing around him, women and men of extraordinary ability and enterprise and i think it's exactly the kind of judgment and exactly the kind of people that he's going to bring around him if we have the privilege of serving in the next administration. >> governor, you said in the debate, you were speaking about donald trump's vision, however, you guys differ on a number of policy issues. let me ask you about those. specifically on the topic of

a deportation task force. do quou support that? >> well, that came up in the debate. it was quite strike iing to me t this all this talk about a deportation force, we have a deportation force in this country. it's called immigrations and customs enforcement and for the first time in the history of immigrations and customs enforcement, their union endorsed donald trump to be the next president of the united states of america because they know he has a, he has a plan to end beginning with border security, strengthening internal enforcement through immigrations and customs. identifying and remove frg this country criminal aliens bringing violence and crime to our streets. removing people from this country that the law requires leave after they overstay their visa and then saying once we've done that, let's then reform our immigration system and i'll tell you, there's no daylight between donald trump and i on that.

i truly do elieve the american people long for us to end illegal immigration. we've talked about it for decades. let's do it and in the order that donald trump describeded. >> aleppo. they say their situation is dire. there are 100,000 children trapped inside without food, water or aid. would you support using u.s. warplanes to enforce a zone, a no fly zone, so that aid trucks could get in? consistently called for the establishment of safe zones under you know, under the umbrella of international approval and we have to act. i mean, the fact that you have the assad regime with the ru russians in the wake of the failure of the russian reset by hillary clinton. they're literally on the edge of aleppo and you point straight to

100,000 children. we have to act now to gliestabl and protect those safe zones. when i was talking the other night in the debate, i said look, we absolutely should be prepared the use military force to establish and preserve the safe zones and the ability for people safely evacuate out of those areas. we cannot stand idly by why this humanitarian crisis unfolds before the eyes of the world. >> your running mate has said this, quote, out of syria. you guys have a different position on this issue. >> well, i think donald trump's been very, very clear about his view of the syrian situation. that what we have is an administration that first said we were going to have a reset with russia. that's within a total failure under hillary clinton's leadership as secretary of

draw a red line if syria ever used chemical weapons against its citizens that there would be consequences. the assad regime did and there were none. >> just to be absolutely clear -- >> and don't need to mention that isis is headquartered in rack kai. >> i just want to be clear. you and donald trump agree that you would use u.s. military force, you have said to bomb assad forces and to enforce a no fly zone. there's absolutely agreement between >> well, where there's absolute agreement is we have to establish safe zones for people to be able to get out of harm's way in aleppo. and if you don't back that up with military resources and our allies in the region, then you can't really guarantee that people in those hundred thousand children are going to be able to get out of harm's way. syria has imploded into a civil

it's all the weak fekless leadership of this administration. >> so we understand you exactly, whether it should have been in syria or not, this is a humanitarian crisis a. no fly zone is one thing and a safe zone is something else. which are you suggesting that you do not favor a no fly zone, by favor a safe zone? >> well, charlie, two dichbt things. donald trump has been consist b ebt in saying we should establish a safe zone in the region working with our allies in the region, so that people have a way to get out of aleppo and out of harm's way in syria. and whether that's you establish a no fly zone or whether you go beyond that with military force, i think that would have to be a realtime decision by our commander in chief. but we cannot stand idly by the way america has, moving red

saying as the secretary of state recently said, that we're just out of talks with russia. all the while, here we have the leader of russia you know, flexing his muscles, expanding his influence in region. the united states of america needs to be there for those suffering families in aleppo and at the same time, we need to continue to focus our resources as donald trump has on destroying isis at its source. it's headquartered iri headquartered in raqqah and when donald trump becomes president of the united states, we're going to put the safety and security of the american people first, but we're also going to be there to provide humanitarian relief and support for people that are coming under the brutal, brutal results of this kind of action. >> all right, governor pence, we thank you. we're going to have to leave it there. unfortunately, we're out of time. senate armed services committee member lindsey graham is here. in our next half hour, he'll

? new rules will require prepaid debit card issuers to be more transparent about fees and offer better security and must now standardize the card's release fees and outline for cash withdrawals and reloading the car and offer liability protection similar to credit cards. shannon pettypiece is from bloomberg news and joins us at the table. what is the difference between these kind of cards and a credit card and who uses them? >> they are not a gift card either. these are the prepaid reloadable cards. they look just like a credit card and visa, mastercard and unlike debit card not attached to your bank account.

and when you add funds and like a credit card you don't get a statement. you put a set amount of money on there there. 23 million americans regularly use one of these prepaid cards right now. >> are they a good alternative to bank accounts? >> it depends on who you are. a lot of people who use them either can't get a bank account or have had issues with a bank account in the past like with overdraft fees or running up credit card bills. some people these are a great and avoid overdraft fees or running up your credit card. for other people, though, a traditional bank account might be best. just really depends on your financial situation. >> why do they need new regulations? >> so right now, even though these look and act like a credit card the big thing if you lost them, you weren't guarantee -- and it was stolen or fraudulent charges were made you weren't guaranteed to get that money back. these new rules are going to provide protections to limit the loss on these cards. some people are putting their whole paycheck on them and your

pretty much everyone in this country at some point and you can lose thousands of dollars and protection is there and more disclosures about the fees. these cards can have a lot of fees attached to them so now there are more clear disclosures. >> good information. thank you, shannon. ahead a potentially surprising benefits of small talk. you're watching "cbs this morning." s driving performance? it's not a weekend hobby. you have to live and breathe it for 50 years. it's the sound... and the fury. on for dear life. that is what amg driving performance means. and this is where it lives. the 503-horsepower mercedes-amg c63 s coupe. picking up for kyle. here you go. you wouldn't put up with part of a pizza. um. something wrong? so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day?

their nuclear program and the world blaming us. >> senator lindsey graham has been critical of both presidential candidates. the member of the senate armed services committee is with us now. >> good morning. what are you trying to put issues in this campaign? >> well, there has been a lot of folks on personality. >> really? >> let's talk, first, you heard our conversation earlier with governor pence. >> yeah. >> on the issue of syria. what is the best hope to try and save the people of aleppo? what should the united states be doing? >> there are three things. how do you stop the flow of people out of syria. one being slaughtered and going to europe and eventually coming here. a safe haven or no-fly zone. i think they are the same, actually.

people don't get slaughtered, they can go somewhere where they would be protected so here is the test of us. if if we say there is a safe haven there what happens when in a syrian helicopter comes toward it? do we shoot it down? >> a difference in it because is there a difference in terms of creating safe havens away from a place in terms of like aleppo and the turks and everybody else say we want safe zones. >> i think the issue is -- >> too. >> i think the enforcement. are we goi planes flying over syria to enforce that? will the obama administration has said no. governor pence has suggested he would do that but unclear what senator kaine -- >> hillary clinton said she would have a safe zone. look at this way. charlie, a safe zone has to be enforced so if a syrian helicopter or russian jet comes into this region bombing what they consider to be terrorists and we consider to be victims if

what i heard today was new to me quite frankly and encourage. it seems that donald trump and mike pence are more robust when it comes to getting involved and protecting people and creating safe zones inside of syria meaning they would take on the russians and -- >> and shoot down russian air plains? >> you're not willing to do that it's not a safe zone. the russian we believe would not bomb. it's all about attitude. has to deal with is north korea. i think the next president would be poorly viewed in history if they allowed the north koreans to develop a missile that would hit our homeland. >> what considers you mow, north korea? >> north korea and missile program concern me the most. two unstable regimes. one has nuclear weapons and one is trying to get them. what would happen in terms of game-changer if theyed the capability to hit the homeland. i think the next president needs to tell the north koreans if you

the united states, we will stop you. we need to tell the iranians if you continue to developed icb technology in violation of u.n. resolutions we will not not only sanctions. the worst possible thing is allow rogue machine and unstable elements to deliver weapons. >> you say the next president of the united states should be willing to attack north korean nuclear facilities? >> yes. >> if they continue with the program? >> because if you're not willing allow flnorth korea to have the ability to attack us. who in their right mind believes that kim jong-un should launch a missile to the west coast of the united states or maybe even deeper? i think that is a nonstarter for the united states and here is the good news. if he believed we would knock out his program, he would stop. if iran believed we would reimpose sanctions or come after them if they tried to keep

actually shoot their planes down, they wouldn't bomb the safe havens. >> you're saying they don't believe the united states would do that? >> nobody does. >> nobody would use force? >> yeah. i think hillary clinton would have a more -- i think -- i would believe her and i hope what i heard today is encouraging from the trump/pence side but i believe that hillary clinton would use military force to protect a safe haven inside of syria and today what i heard was encouraging. the encouraging conversation we are having at "the new york times" first raised this issue vladimir putin is taking advantage of the presidential election knowing that there won't be action in order to continue what he is doing in syria and in other places. what do you see about putin's threat to u.s. national -- >> between now and january when the next president is inaugurated i say land grab in syria and the complete destruction of aleppo and we want peace after they get everything they want.

you'll see an all-out assault on aleppo and maybe some of the baltic areas might be under threat. the iranians and the north koreans can't develop the technology i'm talking about between now and january but in the next president's term, in the fedex four years between 20 and 24, if the necks president doesn't put iran and north korea in a box in terms of their missile xant, we will live to regret it. >> what should be the u.s. position with vladimir putin? during the debate, we heard mike pence say he is a bullying leader and we have heard donald trump indicate he would like to work with putin and things that he actually likes vladimir putin. >> all i can say is that schizophrenia you see is a little bit disturbing to me. i see putin as a dictator. he has destroyed every semblance of democracy in his own country and the biggest weapons supplier to ayatollah in terms of air capability. what i would do it putin is say you will be judged by your behavior and i would take him on in syria.

against assad because he is a butcher of damascus and no arab will allow assad to stay in power because he is a proxy of rein and if assad stays in power -- we will take a rocket back from isil and they are going to go after assad and if you bomb the people we train, we will -- that will be a confrontation between us and russia. if you're not willing to support the people you tra >> be more specific. >> okay. >> what would you do if, in fact, they are bombing the people that we support? because they are doing that now. >> i would shoot them down. >> beyond that? >> the plane is down but what else would you do in terms of confrontation with russia? >> we keep protecting the people we train. two threats in syria that matter to us. assad being in power gives yet another arab capital to the iranians. the rairanians up to no good an

ends if he stays in power because no arab nation and the people in syria will not accept him as their leader. so if the russians and iranians bent on keeping him in power i side with the syrians. get a regional force together to go after assad and after you destroy isil. >> do you believe the history will judge this administration hashly because of what happened in the middle east? >> i think they are giving the next president a lot of headaches. nothing i said is easy. and if i sorry. i know two things about syria for sure, that to destroy isil you have to take the land away from them and hold it. the people we are training, the kurd do not have the ability to destroy isil and rocket syria because they are not arabs. i know this. there is no military pressure on assad at this moment to make him leave. i want to create military pressure so a political solution and without military pressure assad stays and nothing ever

campaign choosing donald trump or ted cruz would be like getting shot or getting poisoned. we are now here with donald trump. what are your thoughts in one sentence? >> oh. >> shot or poison? >> how do you feel? >> too early. >> it's too early? >> it's too early to tell whether it's shot or poison. here is what i do know. if he ding sgoing to be president of the united states he needs to up his game. putin is not our friend but what i heard about syria is encouraging. i wish you would ask secretary in still support a no-fly zone and would you use military force to stop north korea for developing a missile that hit our homeland? ask trump and clinton that at the next debate. would you use military force to stop the development of a missile by north korea that could hit america? because i'm dying to hear what they would say about that. >> thank you, senator graham. >> the people of south carolina. >> i pray for the people in south carolina and florida and everybody else. >> small talk with a stranger. do you think it could make your
