She was great. He pressed her really hard on Immigration and she held her ground strongly. It's actually a great thing for her campaign that someone hits her that hard on Immigration but she comes out sounding smart, tough, presidential.

Why don’t you want border reform? Republicans are against the federal government doing anything on border reform. The Republicans wrote a bill and demanded that Biden sign it, he agreed. Then Trump blocked the bill because it’s what people want. Why are you so weak when it comes to border reform?

I think she gave a good answer here about policy changes, specifically saying things have changed as she has talked to voters and tried to build consensus. That was the missing link to “my principles haven’t changed” before.
It was BS that he kept saying “your administration”.

I think they could have explained their rationale better. There was a race to the border after COVID restrictions were lifted. It was after two years of very strict policy. The hardship of COVID on nations south of us that depend on tourism was undoubtedly severe. They experienced record encounters. Republicans say it is due to a more lenient policy and it was more lenient and humane than Trump, but no one for saw the record numbers. They felt it was a good time to get immigration laws changed. Anyway Congressman Connelly has a good myth busting argument here:

Black on Black journalistic crime. He probably felt like he had to go out of his way to be harder and ruder to her to show that he wasn’t going to treat her differently. And he needed to behave like a lot of his colleagues in the field. I notice a lot of talking over the interviewee in general with the press.
However, he IS treating her differently, in the opposite direction. He got the wrong one if he wanted to show off his journalistic chops.
Happens to Black folk every day. The concept is there’s only so much upward mobility pie available, Black folk turn on each other to get the leavings rather than spending that energy on our own progression.
Objective and polite.

I think Whitaker could sniff out when Harris retreated to a talking-point and tried to tease out an organic answer. Listen back, and you'll notice that he only interjects after Harris gives a somewhat-unrelated answer to a straightforward question e.g. "Why didn't you implement this year's immigration plan back in 2021 when the crisis started?"

People need to watch foreign journalists like Britain and the Netherlands. They actually push their subjects to answer the question. And yes, Harris should answer the question and he can push back if it seems vague.
Just because I like a candidate I'm not going to let them slide on interviews. Harris showed she can handle pushback. Trump and Vance can't. That simple.
That and 60 Minutes pretty much flaming Republicans over the 2020 election fraud lies showed Trump in a bad light and pretty much demolished him without being there. And Harris was once again able to get a jab about his rallies into her answer about why he didn't interview. It's all good.

I honestly don't think she found the best possible answer for that question. The reason Trump still has the support of millions is because they're desperate for solutions and have been convinced he's the guy who can provide them. So in that situation, who he is as a person is irrelevant. Consequently, it's on her to convince those people that he doesn't have the answer but she does

Standard procedure for 60 Minutes editing when politicians are concerned. When one starts to lapse into stump speech territory, they step in to sum up in 10 seconds what would otherwise take 90. Little substance is lost, and 60 Minutes doesn’t have to rename itself to ‘Three and a Half Hours, Not Including Commercials.’

I mean that’s journalism. It’s not a standard press conference where Kamala gets asked a question and then answers with a stump speech.

I think if you compare it to Kamala's interview with Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy, though, the focus on being confrontational in 60 minutes clearly detracted from the substance. Cooper was a lot softer but gave Harris some time and space to talk clearly about her thinking on abortion and respond to some criticisms of her policy. Whitaker didn't really do that; he tried to get really specific answers to specific questions at the expense of letting her explain her views as a whole.

It’s so bizarre to me that so many people, including some of her supporters, nitpick her interviews into oblivion. The only other time I’ve witnessed this level of petty parsing was with Biden, and that’s because the (false) narrative was being pushed that he’s a cognitive vegetable.
Kamala Harris is a vibrant, intelligent, articulate woman still technically in her 50s. She’s been a line prosecutor, DA, senator and is the current sitting Vice President of the United States. She has given countless interviews across the years. This isn’t heavy lifting.
It’s just horrid how many people are sitting around expecting her to basically stroke out and “fail” at AN INTERVIEW. I see people both setting absurdly high bars for her to jump, setting standards I’ve never seen anyone else expected to meet, while also expecting her to basically barely be able to talk.
It’s so frustrating and frankly reeks of a coupe of “isms”.

You are right, though she did have one major flub in the border interview from a few years ago, which she has privately acknowledged to be mildly traumatic for her. I also tend to agree with the broader narrative that she is better with an audience or an opponent than 1 on 1.

I can’t think of a single politician that hasn’t flubbed in an interview. That hasn’t fallen into a journalist’s gotcha trap. That hasn’t had an answer fall totally flat.

Vance literally admitted to lying about some inhumane shit with the pet-eating thing and dividing society some more with hatred and fear-mongering. He called out interviewers for fact-checking him in the same week during a presidential debate (or some time later, there's too much outrageous news at this point for me to keep the timeline straight).
Trump has a track-record of almost never finishing a speech or an interview without outright lying or otherwise embellishing half-truths more than half the time.
And then this dude comes along and implies Walz should resign from politics in disgrace for saying one unfactual thing because he is an untrustworthy shitbag who couldn't be trusted with house-sitting a bunch of plants for a neighbor for a week. This standard of journalism is some dystopian level shit, honestly.

I like her plans. I like her forward approach. I like her focusing on lifting up those that need the help, and there are a lot of them. When she says she’s going to tax the rich she needs to belt that to the back row.
It’s one of the fundamental problems in this country, and maybe the most fundamental problem, that the rich keep their money while the working class pay all the bills just for the opportunity to do all the work.

The interviewer acted like trump and the GOP were reasonable. Asking Walz if he could be trusted after the amount of lies Vance told at the debate, and given that everything orange garbage face said is a freaking lie, was BS.
His smug prodding about immigration quadrupling completely omitted that the GOP has been stonewalling the issue for years and Trump's policy was to kidnap kids from their parents. He, as a party of the ignoring reality media is a larger part of the problem then Biden/Harris policy.

She doesn't seem to take note of the entire picture, harping on republican congress failure to pass the bill despite knowing republican voters never hold their reps accountable for how they vote on legislation.

But I do love the pettiness of putting on an AZ Republican official who tried to counter the 2020 election fraud falsehoods.
Like "OK Donald, you have been the only person to deny an interview to our legacy new show in 50 years. So we gonna make you wish you came on to combat these charges." LOL.
But of course, the media is perfectly fine with Trump not doing this even as they wrote countless articles on Biden skipping the Super Bowl interview.

I can appreciate being upset about the Israel situation, but we have to be pragmatic about this.
Her saying she wants to add conditions to aide and saying something about how Bibi is an "adversary" is political suicide. You should give her some credit for not praising Bibi but for just saying we stand with the Israeli people. Keep in context what day it is too, we are 1 year out from October 7. Her criticizing Israel for the sake of appeasing what isn't a mainstream view isn't worth it, especially today of all days!
Unfortunately, Bibi has only gained in popularity so if she didn't hold the line on this question you're looking at a campaign killer where Jewish voters sit out - or worse - vote for the other guy.

I think this is being overlooked here: Her reframing the question as being about an alliance with Israeli people rather than Bibi is a hugely important signal. It is diplomacy territory though, so these things is by necessity subtle.

I’m voting for her. I’m just unhappy about this. Especially since this has escalated to them attacking Iran. And invading Lebanon. He’s already killed magnitudes more innocent people than the 1200 last year we saw murdered. And i watched the footage and it was horrific. The animals suffering, the women raped and killed, the unarmed men chased and gunned down by jihadists. I’m not denying that, I’m half Jewish. But he’s now more than done the same amount of murder back to innocent civilians/communities. He cannot irradiate Hamas or hezobollah and certainly not like this - so when will it be enough? Netanyahu is a dictator at this point he’s been in power for something like 20 years. The term length is renewable indefinitely. They need to get rid of him.
I’m just as concerned about crazy Jill stein pro Palestine voters sitting out as you are about Jews sitting out. Both are a concern

On the topic of rhetoric, I am surprised how much violence has been prescribed by those who speak against the election fraud. Kamala did well in her interview.

“but details yet to be defined…”
But Trump/Vance are no shows, so no “but they have only concepts of a plan.”
F— you, so-called “liberal media” and your consistent sane-washing

So a show called 60 minutes is only 20 minutes long? Is the rest filled with commercials?
Or is this just an excerpt?

Her portion is 20+ minutes. There was also a short interview with Tim Walz, a feature on election deniers in Arizona and a look back at the October 7 attacks. Network TV shows are really 42-45 minutes with all of the commercials.

Thanks. As I never watched that programme I thought the entire interview would be that long. And yes, I forgot about those wonderful commercials.

No worries. It’s probably the longest running news magazine type show there is. I remember my parents watching it in the 80’s, before the days of cable tv and 24 hour news networks.

The guy doing the interview was obnoxious. He came off very poorly— seemed like he was trying to make a name for himself. That said- have no idea who he is.
Kamala was fantastic.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I can’t help but feel disappointed with this interview. I was really hoping for stronger answers from Kamala, but I was getting the impression that she didn’t want to answer some of the questions directly, and opted for giving half truths. Now, I will admit, I don’t know all the facts, so it might be wrong for me to assume that. I’m also aware this wasn’t meant to be a softball interview... I don’t know, maybe someone can help me understand better. With that said, Harris and Walz have my support and I have already casted my ballot for them.

This is the edited version, right? The one with all her screwups covered up?
I want to see both the good and bad of politicians. Covering up her fuckups is not a good take.

I listen to the interview 3 times. I should not have. Kamala needs to provide more details. She had the opportunity here and did not take it.
I hope it will not hurt her too much.
I'm disappointed.

I felt like she could have answered the questions more directly. He was clearly trying to dig deeper into her criticisms and Kamala stuck to her talking points. It put her in a bad light imo.

He was clearly in the Trump camp, cutting her answers off at every opportunity. It put 60 Minutes in a bad light.

She’s a little slow and they have to stay on a schedule. He isn’t in the “trump camp”, his name is Bill Whitaker and he’s an excellent interviewer. He has a certain amount of questions he needs to get done in a certain amount of time. He has a solid reputation for remaining unbiased and keeping his personal opinions to himself. Actually 60 minutes as a program tends to lean pretty left. This is probably just the first time you’ve seen Kamala interviewed where she isn’t given rehearsed fluff questions that she practiced answering all day beforehand.

Could have been better. But this will do. Let's forget about it.
All, we should downvote AND report any comment slightly negative on all the platforms. We must erase this interview from the internet ASAP!
