7:04 am
with so many republicans still on the sidelines, trump is trying to pull the gop together and some of that work will occur next week when trump meets with a still skeptical house speaker paul ryan. >> i won your delegates. i don't even have to do anything. there's no way i don't go to west virginia. we're going to have fun. >> reporter: campaigning in advance of a primary that no longer matters, donald trump accepted the endorsement of a west virginia miner's group and played to the crowd. >> my hair look okay? give me a little spray. give me a little spray. >> reporter: no fun and games from house speaker paul ryan who declined to endorse the presumptive nominee. >> i hope to support his candidacy fully and i want to do that. at this point i'm just not there right now. >> reporter: ryan said trump has work to do with him and other republicans. >> i will be the chair of the convention. i'll gavel the convention in. i'm hoping by then that this will be a unified party. i think a lot of the burden is on the presumptive nominee to do that. >> reporter: trump has received more than 10.5 million votes but

some congressional republicans have offered only grudging support. >> i support the nominee as i've said. >> i think it's time for us to unify as a party and get behind the nominee. >> he'll be the republican candidate and i think no matter what our candidate will be better than a bernie sanders or a president hillary clinton. >> i'm not prepared to support donald trump at this time. >> he wasn't my first choice or 17th choice. >> there are a lot of americans out there very troubled by some of these positions. that may not have been enough to defeat him in a primary but it certainly is enough to ensure that he likely won't win a general election. >> reporter: still trump trained his sights on hillary clinton. >> we affectionally call her crooked hillary. >> reporter: clinton looking past her own nomination fight said trump is unfit for the
7:06 am
presidency. >> with all of the challenges we face in america and in the world, we can't have a loose cannon in the oval office. >> reporter: trump celebrated cinco de mayo, a mexican holiday celebrated more avidly in america than mexico with this eye raising tweet. i love hispanic he said sitting at his desk with a taco bowl from a trump restaurant. trump said his taco bowls for the best. this particular form of ethnic political outreach, well, maybe not. >> thank you so much, major. >> maybe not is right. andrew card is with us this morning. he was an adviser to president reagan and two president bushes. the bushes say they have no plans to endorse donald trump. on 9/11 card is the one who told president bush that the world trade center had been attacked. he's now the president of a university. welcome. >> thank you for having me.
7:07 am
>> bush, paul ryan 2016. where does it all go? >> it goes to the reality that donald trump now has to reach out to people in the party who have wisdom and have the courage to ask them questions and listen to their responses. >> the problem is not that he hasn't reached out with him. the problem is they disagree with who he is and what he says and the impact it will have on the party. >> donald trump has done an amazing thing. he went from 1% in the polls to being the presumptive nominee of the republican party. he now has to transition from the 1% he doesn't have a chance to i caught the bus. what the am i going to do with it? i've been chasing that bus. i caught it. now he's the leader of the republican party for all practical purposes. he's got to demonstrate he cares about everybody in the party. that he helps the party win. >> does that mean he has to change what he's done to get himself elected? >> he has to change how he will be perceived to do the job. it's not all about donald trump
7:08 am
now. now it's about what are you going to do to help lead this party and what are you going to do to lead the nation? what are you going to do to be the leader of the free world. that transition doesn't have to mean giving up who you have been. it means understanding the responsibility that you have. and the responsibility is no longer about donald trump. >> do you think he's interested in hearing advice from you or anybody else who is like you at this point, andy card? >> probably not. i hope that he will find the courage to acknowledge that he needs advice. >> do you think he knows he needs advice? >> well, i think he's extremely confident of his own ability and he should be. he has great ability to attract eyeballs and ears and generate emotional responses. but being president is much bigger than generating emotional responses. you actually have to make very tough decisions. >> to that end, it's not just what paul ryan said yesterday,
7:09 am
it was also donald trump's response to it saying, well, then i don't know if i support paul ryan's agenda which speaks to a much broader base obviously. we've seen his populism now it seems, trump policy, trump conservatism. trump praguetism. if you lock at the unfavorable numbers now, historically low for trump. >> i'm not sure that isms apply. i don't know that he gives it enough thought. it's an emotional reaction. he's giving a quick response. he's not tasting his words before he spits them out and there are consequences to that. you should think, how will these words be heard? will they allow me to build a bridge so that i can earn respect and earn support? you don't command respect. you have to earn respect. that means you have to really acknowledge that other people have opinions. some may not be consistent with his. you should invite those opinions to learn and so that you can
7:10 am
teach. and i'm not sure that i have watched donald trump make the conversion to a listener and a teacher. >> based on what you know now, would donald trump as president scare you? >> yes, he scared me. i will admit when donald trump entered the race i didn't think he had a chance. when he started to gain traction, i became a cynic. i wasn't sure he could make it. i was believing, sane people will recognize that this is not going to happen. it happened. i have moved from a cynic to a skeptic. that's a big move. i want him to succeed. but he's got to make the move to show me that he's worthy of my support. worthy of my vote. i take the vote for president of the united states very, very seriously. i will vote for a candidate. right now i would probably write in a name, but i will vote. i want him to pay attention to the responsibility of being the president. presidents do not have the luxury of making easy decisions. they make brutally tough decisions.
7:11 am
i watched that. if they make an easy decision, they wasted his time and chief of staff hasn't done his or her job. i want to find out what will it be like, donald trump, when you have to make an impossibly tough decision where there's no measure of popularity. >> andy card, thank you. sunday on "face the nation," john dickerson will talk with hillary clinton. a massive air lift continues for thousands of canadians with no other way to escape the raging al bare that wildfire. sparks and fire rained down on residents. nearly 90,000 people have been forced to evacuate. thus far more than 1,600 homes and other buildings have been consumed by the fire. the fort mcmurray fire wiped out an area larger than new york city. ben tracy is just outside the fire zone. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. they've just recently reopened the road block here on highway
7:12 am
63 and a lot of the cars and trucks are people who had been trapped north of ft. mcmurray who are able to come down to the shelters in the south. that is a bit of good news. the bad news is overnight the winds kicked up this fire and the flames got dangerously close to some homes. >> reporter: the fire burning here is relentless. >> it proved out unpredictable it can be, heading south and north, devouring everything in its path, crossing this road, burning up the forest. 80,000 people have already escaped this. frames topping tree tops and tearing through the city. people fled on the two roads they had. this is what was left behind, a city so burned out it looked
7:13 am
bombed out. brian jean has lived in the city for 30 years. >> my heart goes out to everyone. this is all that's left of his home. >> reporter: this is just one of 41 fires burning throughout alberta province. ten of them out of control. >> air tankers are not going to stop this fire. this fire is an extreme fire event. it's going to push through the dry conditions until we get significant rain to help us. >> reporter: the canadian government brought in reinforcements to relieve exhausted firefighters who struggled to find brief moments of rest wherever they could. when the fire suddenly changed course, this evacuation center had to be evacuated. people forced to leave behind the few things they had left. >> i've got two young kids. i'm just grateful that we're alive but it really sucks to have to keep on moving. >> reporter: but with flames still spreading all over the area, moving on is the only way to stay alive.
7:14 am
more than 1,000 fire farths and 100 aircraft are bat ring the blaze. and yesterday one of the air takers actually slid off of the runway when it landed. we're told because the pilot had some sort of medical issue. we're told that neither the pilot or the copilot were seriously injured. >> that's a graphic picture. thank you, ben tracy, in alberta. a new report says joe paterno may have known 40 years ago that an assistant was molesting little boys. a judge has ordered sworn testimony claiming that a boy told paterno that jerry sandusky had abused him. paterno was forced out as head coach in 2011 and he died a few months later. his family's lawyer says no evidence backs up this latest claim and calls for a full public review of all of the facts. iraqi security forces this
7:15 am
morning are enforcing a major clampdown today ahead of possible anti-government protests today. last week iraqis angry over corruption stormed the heavily guarded green zone. that fortified complex houses ira iraqi's government and the u.s. embassy. charlie d'agata is in baghdad. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. behind me is one of the main bridges leading to the green zone and they erected blast barriers across the bridge and deployed army and police in the streets around the green zone not just as a security measure but to avoid a repeat of last weekend's demonstrations when protesters overran it. the tensions had been building for months. anger at the government over charges of corruption and criticism that security forces seem unable to stop isis from launching terror attacks here in the capital and elsewhere. the protests are largely driven by the powerful shiite cleric muqtata al sadr whose militia
7:16 am
launched attacks and his followers threaten to storm the green zone once again. inside the green zone is the u.s. embassy. the fortress within a fortress. the instability is america's problem, too, because of the fight with isis. the death of navy s.e.a.l. charles kating iv is a reminder of how much closer u.s. troops are getting to this fight. and as america increases its involvement in the fight against isis, military officials here say they need to depend on a government that has its act together and at least has some support from the people. >> thank you for that. north korea's most important gathering in decades is under way this morning in pyongyang. the first ruling party congress since 1980 will showcase ruler kim jong-un and his agenda. adriana diaz is in pyongyang
7:17 am
where invited journalists are being kept at a distance. good morning to you. >> reporter: we were allowed into this isolated country to cover the multi-day event. but for today at least we were kept at a distance. from our bus turned second home we saw snippets of ordinary life, but the congress that opened today inside this building is what we're here to cover. our government minder told us to dress up for opening day but our access was denied. we were invited to come cover the congress, but why can't we go inside? >> don't ask me. >> reporter: the last congress was held in 1980. a coming out party of sorts for kim jong-il. during his rule the elder kim focus on the military. but by holding this congress, his son is now embracing the
7:18 am
party. he may need it to help implement his dual policy goals of nuclear weapons development and economic growth. though we were kept out of the big event, we did have liberal access to people on the street, like this school administrator. the congress demonstrates our single hearted unity, she told us. we are rallied around kim jong-un. under kim's leadership she said a nuclear north korea can now defend itself against its enemies. we don't have anything against americans, but we don't like american policymakers, she said. what do you think of president obama? >> she wants t shoot at him. >> if she's given a weapon she would shoot at president obama? >> uh-huh. she wants to shoot at him. >> reporter: wow. these sentiments are engrained at an early age here, but everyone we spoke to say they feel that north korea is simply
7:19 am
misunderstood. it's hard to get a true sense of this place since we can't travel here freely or beyond the capital city. >> thank you very much. adriana diaz in north korea. hard to get information, isn't it, when you ask your government minder and they say don't ask me. >> don't want to be in trouble. why can't oklahoma stop shaking is the question today?

7:34 am
two earthquakes a year. on sunday "60 minutes" bill whitaker investigates why oklahoma is an earthquake hotspot. >> reporter: the vast majority of earthquakes are small, causing little or no damage but what they lack in punch, they make up in shear volume. this tally shows the number of earthquakes in oklahoma has increased every year since 2009, with more than 2,000 magnitude 3 and above. that means more of the bigger ones, like this 4.3 magnitude quake last december in edmond, oklahoma. >> i woke up scared to death praying that the house wouldn't fall down. i couldn't believe the windows didn't shatter. these women are neighbors in ed month. they say they check their phone apps to track earthquakes around the state all day long. >> look at that.

7:36 am
of wastewater. that water is down there with the oil. it's been there for millions of years. but now they're pumping more oil and get are more water and they have to get rid of it somehow. so they put it back under ground. the problem is that the water is now seeping into the earthquake fault zone. the water pressure is pushing those faults apart, letting them slip and slide and causing more earthquakes. >> so far these are small earthquakes. >> they're fairly small by, you know, when you're talking about magnitude. but as you said in the intro, they've had almost a thousand magnitude 3 and higher last year, which is unprecedented. the highest one was 5.7. and having lived in california, that's a good jolt.
7:37 am
>> is there a difference in the impact of these quakes as opposed to the ones we see out west? >> we all grew up thinking of california as the earthquake state. california is going to have to pass that dubious prize off to oklahoma, because oklahoma is now seeing more than california. and the difference in oklahoma is that the earthquakes are closer to the surface, so the magnitude might not be that dramatic but the impact is dramatic. >> thanks, bill. >> to see how oklahoma officials are addressing the quakes, watch bill's full report sunday on "60 minutes." that's here on cbs. he saved lives in iraq long before nearly losing his own. up next, norah introduces us to an american hero now taking on the invictus games in florida. and if you're heading out the door, you can always watch us live through the cbs all access app on your digital device. you won't want to miss our inside look at one of the most

7:43 am
reclaim his title atop the invictus medal stand in discus and shot put. >> hopefully this year i can come out and put together a good performance and just outthrow the entire competition. >> reporter: that's a high mark considering he wasn't always much of an athlete. were you a high school athlete? >> i would say i was a bad high school athlete. i went to track and field at the first warrior games. my coach always says that you can't teach tall so i was a perfect fit for throwing. >> reporter: meaning you had the size? >> i had the size to be a thrower which was comforting but also disappointing at the same time because i thought i was a runner and i was very fast. turns out i was very slow. >> reporter: though he once lacked the prowess on the playing field, he set out for a career on the battlefield. >> primarily what our mission was to go into the police stations, look after the iraqi police officers, train them with the help of iraqi police advisers which were american cops.
7:44 am
>> reporter: deployed to iraq in january of 2009, he was seriously wounded by an insurgent-thrown grenade just five months later. what did you think when you knew you were injured? what went through your mind? >> i think pretty much what every green side corpsman thinks, is everyone else all right? that's when i looked down at my leg. all right. i'm not okay. probably should fix that. the marines basically saved my life that day. >> reporter: you had been spending a lot of time saving their lives. >> i like to think it works both ways. >> reporter: the navy corpsman spent the next four years as a patient at walter reid where he received his purple heart, met president obama, and endured 14 surgeries to save his leg before requesting a 15th to remove it. how hard was that decision? >> it wasn't very hard for me. i knew it right away. where i am at bethesda, there's a lot of traffic. most people going through limb
7:45 am
