. >> stephen: he's an arizona country western kind of rocker character, and what did you think of thecooper was phenomenal in that he directed all that stuff which was unbelievable. i'm not sure any movies they would do -- professional athletes when they do movies about football, pro football players say that's not real. same way with music, you go that's not real. man, the live stuff they did was so real, people backstage in certain places just where they were at was perfect. whoever had their hands on the wheel and i'm thinking ms. ga-ga, it was authentic, and i enjoyed it as an entertainer. >> stephen: have you ever thought of doing anything with lady gaga? >> no. she's beautiful, talented, everything you wanted to be and i loved her on this. i thought she was beautiful inside and out, but the whole casting was fabulous in that movie. if you want to know what musicians and entertainment iski would sa see it and you would get a pretty good dose of it. >> stephen: you have a special this sunday on cbs. you filmed a concert at notre dame university and 85,000 people. you've cone this

( laughter ) >> you know, my character, ally, in this film-- she's very different than i was. when i was 19 years old an decided-- you know, my friends were calling me "gaga" when i was out singing in clubs, i was going to be lady gaga. i knew i had something to say. i wanted to say it. i wanted to knock on every door. i was dragging my keyboard around new york city, banging on everyone's door, i was pretending to be my own manager to get gigs. >> stephen: what was your fake manager's name? >> i don't even remember. i was like ( english accent ): "hello, this is lady gaga's manager, she's really hot right now." ( laughter ) i was just working it, you know, doing everything i could. and i really believed in myself. but my character in this film, ally, she's not that way. she's in her 30s. she's given up. she doesn't beli

stephen: that's good. that's peter zuest i. and chris robling. he wrote all the songs and peter is now a professor of literature at the university of london and our bass player is the chief of arizonaeved nothing compared to them. >> they do real things. >> stephen: actual culture, the law. >> i know. >> stephen: wow! it's hard to get together to rehearse because everybody's all over the place. >> stephen: but you, are is my understanding. >> somebody discovered road kill a few years ago, a real record label and they put it out, captured tracks. >> stephen: is that what this is? >> no, that's the follow-up album we recorded. >> stephen: is this an exclusive? >> yes,ths an exclusive for this theater. >> stephen: what's this called? >> it's called "this is capital punishment" and it's our follow-up album. >> stephen: drumming out time inside of me, hot love, grain illuminate and shannon rose. >> and i would say hot love is probably going to be the single. >> stephen: again, you played what on this? >> drums. and it drops black friday. >> stephen: awesome. awesome. there are going to be people rushing the pictures o, breaking down the stores. >> we were going to use that for the cover

stephen: catherine reheis-boyd serves as president of the western states petroleum association, representing all the major oil and gas companies in arizona, nevada, oregon, and washington. catherine: i would say we've made great progress with being able to have a seat at the table with the environmentalists. stephen: reheis-boyd makes no apologies for the industry contributing to political causes and to candidates that it feels will best represent its interests. stephen: does the oil industry have jerry brown's ear? catherine: yeah, i think so. i think it would be fair to say we are able to have a good conversation with the administration and with the agencies within it. governor brown: the real challenge is the consumption of oil, which has gone up. stephen: we asked governor brown about all of this oil and gas campaign money during the climate change summit. stephen: you and state democrats have accepted millions from the oil industry, so how can you be a climate leader if you do that? governor brown: hey, we--you know that politics runs on money, billions and billions of dollars. and all those people are in the industry, so that's par

stephen: yeah. that's kind of sweet. he quoted his wedding vows. and there's more big news-- this is huge: democrat kyrsten sinema has won the arizona senate race. ( cheers and applause ) there you go. scratch that itch! there you go. >> jon: didn't see that one coming! >> stephen: wave! sinema is a former green party activist who has become a moderate member of congress, which led her opponent, republican martha mcsally, to claim she was just pretending to be a centrist. pretending to be a centrist-- that is the lamest role play. oh, yeah, baby, you pretend to be a centrist, and i'll pretend to be an undecided voter. you maintain that status quo. you find that middle ground, you here? you reach across the aisle. ( laughter ) sinema is the first woman elected to the senate from arizona. also, she will become the first-ever openly bisexual senator. for a reaction-- ( cheers and applause ) for a reaction to this news, let's go live to vice president mike pence. that is not a still image. that is rolling video.

( cheers and applause ) >> stephen because you're concentrated on 2018, midterms are over, what are you concentrating on now? is there another election that you might be concentrating on, senator? for now? >> well, so i do think it's an important question -- >> stephen: it is an important question. that's why i asked it. >> yes. ( laughter ) i believe it is a moral question for me, and i believe in right versus wrong, and until this election i actually thought wrong was winning. and as i've traveled across my state, across the country for all these candidates, i've seen the hatred and the division that president trump has put out into our country, and it has called me to fight as hard as i possibly can to restore the moral compass of this country. our country was founded on the principles that we should care about one another, that we believe in h the golden rule, that i should care about your kids or your kids as much as i care about my own, and, so, i believe right now that every one of us should figure out how we ca
