Trump says raw footage of Kamala Harris' '60 Minutes' interview proves 'election interference'



Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris' interview with "60 Minutes," which aired on Oct. 7, was a disaster replete with word salads.

At the time, keen observers deduced, on the basis of major differences between Harris' responses shown in a preview of the interview and the one presented in the final, that CBS News had engaged in deceptive edits with the apparent intention of portraying the Democrat as passably coherent ahead of the election, something the network vehemently denied.

The Federal Communications Commission, which received a formal complaint on Oct. 16 from the Center for American Rights requesting an investigation into possible news distortion, released the raw footage and full transcript of the interview on Wednesday. The footage reveals that CBS News indeed went to great lengths to make Harris appear intelligible and concise — possibly with the intention of misleading viewers.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr noted on X that the commission will now seek comment regarding the news distortion complaint through March, writing, "The people will have a chance to weigh in."

Night-and-day differences

Bill Whitaker of CBS News' "60 Minutes" asked Harris at one stage in the interview whether America lacked influence over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his strategic decisions in the Middle East. Whitaker then stated, "It seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening" to the Biden-Harris administration.

'CBS should lose its license.'

The version of the interview that went to air and was reflected in CBS News' official transcript was edited so that Harris appears to say in response, "We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end."

It's clear from the raw footage that Harris actually responded with one of her signature word salads:

Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted, or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region. And we're not going to stop doing that. We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.

Harris' answer to Whitaker's question about what the U.S. could do to prevent the Israel-Hamas war from "spinning out of control" was relatively succinct in the manipulated version that CBS News originally aired. In reality, it was another meandering mess.

Here is Harris' response as it originally appeared on CBS News:

Well, let's start with October 7. 1,200 people were massacred; 250 hostages were taken, including Americans; women were brutally raped, and as I said then, I maintain Israel has a right to defend itself. We would. And how it does so matters. Far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. This war has to end.

Here is what Harris actually said:

Well, let's start with October 7. Because obviously, what we do now must be in the context of what has happened. And as I reflect on a year ago, and that 1,200 people were massacred — young people at a festival, at a music festival — 250 hostages were taken, including Americans, women were brutally raped. And as I said then, I maintain Israel has a right to defend itself. We would. And how it does so matters. And as we fast-forward into what we have seen in the ensuing weeks and months, far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. And we know that, and I think most agree, this war has to end. And that has to be our number-one imperative, and that has been our number-one imperative. How can we get this war to end? Well, critical elements of that are we have got to get a hostage deal and a ceasefire deal done. We have to — we have to get aid in. We have to lay the path toward a two-state solution.

CBS News originally made it appear as though Harris said, in response to Whitaker's question about whether the U.S. has any sway over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "The work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of Israel is an ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles."

In reality, Harris largely dodged the question, talking about military aid to Israel, Israel's self-defense against missile attacks, and the perceived need to pressure Israel into bringing the war to an end.

President Donald Trump noted in a Truth Social post on Thursday, "CBS and 60 Minutes defrauded the public by doing something which has never, to this extent, been seen before. They 100% removed Kamala's horrible election changing answers to questions, and replaced them with completely different, and far better, answers, taken from another part of the interview. This was Election changing 'stuff,' Election Interference and, quite simply, Election Fraud at a level never seen before."

"CBS should lose its license, and the cheaters at 60 Minutes should all be thrown out, and this disreputable 'NEWS' show should be immediately terminated," added Trump.

More gaslighting

CBS News doubled down on its denial of wrongdoing Wednesday, noting in a statement, "The 60 Minutes broadcast was not doctored or deceitful."

The network suggested further that in the case of its reworking of Harris' answer to the question of whether Netanyahu was listening to the Biden administration, "We edited the interview to ensure that as much of the vice president's answers to 60 Minutes' many questions were included in our original broadcast while fairly representing those answers."

'News distortion calculated to confuse, deceive, and mislead the public.'

Democratic FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez, who was nominated by former President Joe Biden, similarly did her part to suggest that there was nothing wrong with CBS News' significant manipulation of Harris' responses, stating, "The transcript and footage of this interview provide no evidence that CBS and its affiliated broadcast stations violated FCC rules."

"The FCC should now move to dismiss this fishing expedition to avoid further politicizing our enforcement actions," continued Gomez.

Implications

The release of the footage may bode well for President Donald Trump, who filed a lawsuit against CBS News and "60 Minutes" demanding at least $10 billion in damages for the "malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion calculated to confuse, deceive, and mislead the public."

The lawsuit stated, "To paper over Kamala's 'word salad' weakness, CBS used its national platform on 60 Minutes to cross the line from the exercise of judgment in reporting to deceitful, deceptive manipulation of news."

"President Trump brings this action to redress the immense harm caused to him, to his campaign, and to tens of millions of citizens in Texas and across America by CBS's deceptive broadcasting conduct," wrote Trump's attorneys.

Trump's lawsuit may complicate or even kill the planned multibillion-dollar merger between CBS' parent company, Paramount, and the Hollywood studio Skydance.

The New York Times indicated ahead of the release of the interview footage that executives at Paramount were pushing for a settlement to the lawsuit — a settlement that would apparently have to do without an acknowledgment of wrongdoing from Bill Owens, the executive producer of "60 Minutes," who vowed Monday not to apologize to the 47th president "for anything we have done."

Keystone Kops Konstitutionalism

With a foot out the door of the Oval Office, President Joe Biden, in a meaningless but official-looking document, declared that the proposed Equal Rights Amendment, which failed in 1982 when the extended period specified by Congress for its ratification elapsed, has actually been ratified and is now the 28th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

This is, of course, daft.

It is keystone kops konstitutionalism.

Trump gets chummy with Obama at Carter funeral, leaving Kamala Harris scowling



Five living presidents and a handful of failed presidential candidates attended Jimmy Carter's funeral Thursday at the Washington National Cathedral.

Kamala Harris, once touted as the "female Barack Obama," did not appear pleased to see the real Barack Obama enjoying the company of President-elect Donald Trump. Footage has gone viral showing Harris' reaction to the sight of Obama, the elder Democrat who supported her political ambitions for over 15 years, engaging with the very Republican who crushed her dreams in the 2024 presidential election.

In the video, Harris turns to the apparent sound of civil chatter, spotting Trump lean into Obama's commentary. The California Democrat appears to roll her eyes, turn forward in her seat with a grimace, then try to assign her focus elsewhere, paging through the funeral program.

'Obama casually and amiably chats with Adolf Hitler.'

Conservative columnist Joe Cocha noted on X, "Going to file this under 'death stare' from Kamala to Obama/Trump during the Carter funeral, who are getting along swimmingly. It's like watching Carson and Rickles, these two."

CNN's Kaitlan Collins noted, "These are just moments that you don't see hardly ever."

While many commentators focused on Harris' poor reaction, others noted Obama's apparent comfort joking around with an individual he previously called a "fascist" and has long characterized as a villain.

Journalist Glenn Greenwald captioned the video, "Former President Barack Obama casually and amiably chats with Adolf Hitler as the latter is set to assume power in 11 days, end American democracy, and impose a white nationalist dictatorship."

Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, said in response to a video from the event showing Obama chuckling at commentary from Trump, "This is what happens when you win. Obama knows more than anyone how much he rigged the game against Trump and knows how tough Trump has to be to have pulled off this miracle."

Trump was seated between his wife, Melania, and Obama. Obama, who apparently went stag as his wife, Michelle Obama, is in Hawaii, was flanked on his right by Laura Bush, George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Clinton.

After sitting alone in the front row for several minutes, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, were joined by President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill. ABC News noted that Harris did not greet the incoming president.

Jimmy Carter, eulogized by his sons and by Biden, was the 39th president of the United States. He perished in his Georgia home at the age of 100 on Dec. 29.

Kamala Harris' moment to shine has come: She gets to certify her electoral better's landslide victory



Kamala Harris suffered a historic humiliation on Election Day, losing in a landslide to President-elect Donald Trump by 86 Electoral College votes. Today, as president of the U.S. Senate, Harris must suffer another humiliation: presiding over a joint session of Congress to certify her defeat.

Despite previously characterizing Trump as unstable, a "petty tyrant," a would-be dictator, a "fascist," and a threat to democracy, Harris confirmed just hours ahead of the session in a Monday video message that she would indeed certify the results.

"The peaceful transfer of power is one of the most fundamental principles of American democracy," Harris said in the video. "As much as any other principle, it is what distinguishes our system of government from monarchy or tyranny."

Harris noted further that "democracy can be fragile" and that the certification of the results is a "sacred obligation" that she would uphold, "guided by love of country, loyalty to our Constitution, and my unwavering faith in the American people."

'She believed she should have won the race.'

A White House official told CNN that the 60-year-old Democrat's role Monday "will be solely ministerial."

"The vice president understands that our democracy requires elected leaders who have taken the sacred oath of office and everyday citizens alike to actively preserve it," said a senior Harris aide. "It is with this deep sense of responsibility and duty in mind that the vice president will certify the presidential election on January 6 and reaffirm the will of the American people."

While Harris is apparently ready to execute her duties, a former longtime Harris aide told NBC News that the certification will nevertheless prove an emotional feat for the vice president.

"There's definitely sadness and frustration," said the former aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "She believed she should have won the race, but the country didn't want to go in that direction."

'A BIG MOMENT IN HISTORY. MAGA!'

Harris, who told the co-hosts of Disney's "The View" in January 2024 that she was "scared as heck" that the American people would re-elect Trump, is not the first among incumbent vice presidents to certify the results of their own losses.

The Washington Post noted that despite accusations of voter fraud in 11 states, then-Vice President Richard Nixon certified his loss — by 0.2 percentage points — to John F. Kennedy on Jan. 6, 1961.

Whereas Harris appears to be approaching the event soberly, the Post noted in 1961, "Nixon seemed to enjoy doing it," even "pump[ing] humor, life and even a little political sense into the nearly two-centuries-old ceremonial."

After George W. Bush beat him in the 2000 election, then-Vice President Al Gore reportedly also tried to bring some levity to the certification process.

Former Democratic Vice President Hubert Humphrey was supposed to certify his massive defeat to Richard Nixon in 1968 but apparently couldn't face the music. According to the New York Times, he instead attended the funeral of the first U.N. secretary general and left the duty of certification to Democratic Sen. Richard Russell (Ga.), the president pro tempore of the Senate.

Trump said in a Truth Social post Monday morning, "CONGRESS CERTIFIES OUR GREAT ELECTION VICTORY TODAY — A BIG MOMENT IN HISTORY. MAGA!"

Union boss slams Harris for boasting she'd win election 'with or without' endorsement



Sean O'Brien, the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, torched Vice President Kamala Harris for allegedly declaring she would win the election against President-elect Donald Trump "with or without" the union's support.

During a Monday interview on "The Tucker Carlson Show," O'Brien explained why the Teamsters refused to endorse Harris in the November presidential election. It marked the first time the union had not supported a candidate in nearly three decades.

'That's really arrogant.'

O'Brien stated that Harris had previously told Teamsters vice president Joan Corey that the union "better get on board soon" with endorsing her.

According to O'Brien, the union had repeatedly attempted to get Harris to sit down for an interview leading up to the presidential election.

"She finally agrees to come after we were putting pressure on her," he told Carlson. "I was doing interviews all over the place, saying, 'We haven't gotten invited to the DNC [Democratic National Convention]. They haven't accepted our invitation for her to come to a roundtable.'"

O'Brien explained that rank-and-file union members had prepared 16 questions for Harris to answer during the roundtable discussion. He noted that the union also held similar interviews with the other presidential candidates, including Trump, who answered all of the questions.

He claimed that Harris' team was trying to "negotiate" with the union only to ask her three questions.

"So she answers three of them, and on the fourth question, one of her operatives or one of her staff slips a note in front of me: 'This will be the last question,'" he told Carlson, noting that the roundtable was scheduled for another 20 minutes.

"Her declaration on the way out was, 'I'm gonna win with you or without you,'" O'Brien remarked.

Carlson responded, "Damn. I thought I was arrogant. That's really arrogant."

Following the roundtable event, O'Brien stated that he contacted President Joe Biden's former secretary of labor, Marty Walsh.

O'Brien claimed that he told Walsh, "Let me ask you a question, Marty. Excuse my French. Who does this f***ing lady think she is?"

"If I want support from any organization, I am not gonna point my finger in someone's face and say, 'You better get on board or else,'" he continued.

During his interview with Carlson, O'Brien also expressed concerns about Biden's health, noting that what he observed "kinda looked like elderly abuse."

"We had Biden in there, and you could just clearly tell he was not the man he was. It was kinda sad," he added.

Most Teamsters' members, 59.6%, supported Trump over Harris. The union, representing 1.3 million members, previously endorsed Biden and Hillary Clinton.

A spokesperson for Harris did not respond to a request for comment from Newsweek.

Democratic strategist begs Kamala Harris not to run again



Kamala Harris' first attempt to secure the White House was a colossal failure. While struggling to break out of the single digits in early state polls, Harris learned that a majority of Democrats in her home state of California wanted her to call it quits. She obliged them in December 2019. Years later, she supplanted the candidate who single-handedly salvaged her career only to suffer an even more humiliating defeat, burning through over $1.5 billion for the privilege of losing in the Electoral College by a landslide.

Apparently, the 60-year-old leftist thinks the next time might be different and has signaled an interest in trying again. On Tuesday, Democratic strategist Theryn Bond begged the vice president to throw in the towel on her presidential ambitions.

Last week, a Morning Consult survey indicated that 43% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents would now vote for Harris in a presidential primary of the kind effectively voided by the party earlier this year. A recent Echelon Insights snap poll indicated that 41% of respondents would vote for Harris in a Democratic primary held today.

'Please don't.'

Politico reported Monday that Harris, likely aware that a great many Democrats are willing to overlook her repeated failures, "has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years."

Harris has repeatedly told reporters, "I am staying in the fight."

Five individuals in the vice president's inner circle who spoke to Politico on the condition of anonymity suggested that Harris will think over her political options with family members over the Christmas season.

On Tuesday, within hours of Democrats releasing a bizarre and widely ridiculed video of Harris, Theryn Bond urged the vice president on Newsmax's "National Report" "not to run again in 2028. Please don't."

'If they're dumb enough to run her again, I can't wait.'

"I can't really speak for governor of California. Californians seem to support her significantly. We haven't yet been able to measure what that support looks like after this current run she just had," said Bond.

The Democratic strategist suggested that a gubernatorial bid might "make sense for her to consider, but another shot at the presidency — I hope she doesn't. And if she is relying on those same advisers that advised her this cycle, that's not who I would listen to."

Conservative political strategist Luke Ball largely agreed with Bond's assessment, noting that in California, Harris would have "high name ID, but if she ran anywhere else in the country, I don't think she'd be able to get elected to dog catcher."

Conservative filmmaker Robby Starbuck noted, "Wow. This Echelon poll asked Democrats who they'd vote for in the 2028 Presidential primary and 41% said Kamala Harris. If they're dumb enough to run her again, I can't wait."

Conservative commentator Michael Knowles said that Harris, "who lost in a massive landslide, who allowed the Republican to win the popular vote for the first time in 20 years — the Republican who we had all been told was Hitler incarnate, who was running for an implausible nonconsecutive second term — that woman wants to run again in 2028? I strongly encourage this. I might donate to the Kamala primary campaign."

A Democratic strategist granted anonymity by Politico said, "I can't conceivably imagine the party turning to her a second time."

Speculation now abounds about the possibility that another failed Democratic presidential candidate might try her luck again in 2028.

After the the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported Wednesday that Bill and Hillary Clinton will give speeches in Little Rock in December to help mark the Clinton Presidential Center's 20th anniversary, senior Trump adviser Jason Miller responded, "SHE'S RUNNING!"

"Just when I thought I couldn't be more thankful," tweeted Donald Trump Jr.

Elon Musk replied to the prospect of a third Clinton campaign with a laughing emoji.

NYC Mayor Adams slams Dems for focusing more on Hitler, fascism rhetoric over 'working-class people issues'



New York City Mayor Eric Adams slammed his fellow Democrats for focusing too much of their campaign messaging on fascism fears rather than speaking to "working-class people issues."

In a Friday appearance on ABC News' "The View," Adams told the left-leaning panel that the Democratic Party lost the election because it failed to prioritize addressing issues that impact everyday Americans.

'What are we doing for everyday people in the country?'

"What you saw in this city and this election, when you saw a shift in the city and the state becoming redder, is because we stopped talking about working-class people issues," Adams stated. "What moms and pops are afraid, 'I can't pay my college tuition. The rent is too damn high. Health care is too expensive.' We stopped talking to everyday New Yorkers and Americans."

Adams explained that working-class Americans are far more concerned about affordability than fascism. He seemed to criticize Democrats for campaigning on comparing President-elect Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler.

"When I'm in the street talking to them, they're not asking me, 'Tell me about fascism,'" Adams claimed. "They're talking about finance. They're not talking about Hitler; they're talking about housing. We need to talk to everyday, working-class people, and we stopped doing that."

Co-host Joy Behar pushed back on Adams' comments, arguing that Democrats did address those issues.

"Part of the business of campaigning is getting your message out and being clear with your message," Adams replied. "Even the experts in their party were saying, 'Get back to the message.' What are we doing for everyday people in the country? And this same thing happened in 2022. When I got elected in 2022, I stated that, 'Listen, we need to be talking about crime in this country.' They ignored it. We lost the election. During 2023, I said we had to deal with this migrant-asylum issue. It was on the top one or two issues in the country. We ignored it. We have to go back and talk to those issues that people are worried about."

Since April 2022, more than 210,000 foreign nationals have arrived in New York City. The city's taxpayers have spent over $2.3 billion to provide accommodations for the migrants.

Adams announced last week that the city will stop supplying migrant arrivals with prepaid debit cards at the end of the year, Blaze News previously reported.

Eva Longoria reveals she is one of the few Harris boosters to actually ditch the US



Numerous wealthy celebrities — including geriatric singers Barbra Streisand and Cher and 66-year-old script-reader Sharon Stone — threatened in recent months that if Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election, then they would pull up their shallow roots and leave the United States.

Time will tell whether these liberals will honor their pledges now that President-elect Trump is assembling his Cabinet, having secured over 3 million more votes nationwide and 86 more Electoral College votes than Harris. There is, however, at least one Democrat who has actually jumped ship.

In a post-election interview with the French women's magazine Marie Claire, Texas native Eva Longoria indicated that she has moved her family out of the "dystopian" United States.

The 49-year-old "Desperate Housewives" star, once touted by the Washington Post as a "political power broker," now appears devoid of the enthusiasm that she previously exuded in her speech at the Democratic National Convention.

"The shocking part is not that he won," the multimillionaire told Marie Claire. "It's that a convicted criminal who spews so much hate could hold the highest office."

It turns out that Longoria's personal efforts to turn out the Hispanic vote for Harris, as well as the efforts of the group she co-founded, the Latino Victory Fund, weren't enough this time around. CNN exit polls indicated that 46% of all Hispanics and 55% of Hispanic men voted for Trump.

'I'm privileged.'

"I would like to think our fight continues," she continued, adding that she does not know what the future holds for the country.

Longoria suggested that if Trump "keeps his promises, it's going to be a scary place."

According to Marie Claire, Longoria, her husband, and her son now divide their time between Spain and Mexico when not jet-setting around Europe and South America.

Despite supporting a California Democrat keen on raising taxes, the script-reader suggested that the fallout of leftist policies helped grease her way out of the United States.

"I had my whole adult life here," she said, referring to Los Angeles. "But even before [the pandemic], it was changing. The vibe was different. And then COVID happened, and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it's the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to s*** on California — it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now."

Under Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, California's homeless population ballooned to over 181,000 people last year — nearly 0.5% of the population. CalMatters revealed in September that the number is now closer to 186,000 homeless people.

"I'm privileged," continued Longoria. "I get to escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren't so lucky. They're going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them."

The incoming president of the "dystopian" country that Longoria has abandoned has indicated that he will secure the southern border, expel criminals who have stolen into the U.S., lower taxes, reduce crime, eliminate government waste, protect children from sex-change mutilations, lower energy costs, improve the health of American youth, end the corporate capture of federal agencies, and broker international peace.

Legacy media newspaper replaces editorial board over voter disconnect



In the aftermath of President-elect Donald Trump's landslide win, legacy media outlet the Los Angeles Times appears to be making a frantic effort to realign with voters.

On Wednesday, the Times' owner, Dr. Pat Soon-Shiong, announced that the newspaper would replace its editorial board.

'Putting lipstick on a pig.'

In a statement on X, Soon-Shiong wrote, "When the President has won the vote of the majority of Americans then ALL voices must be heard. Opinions are just that."

"I will work towards making our paper and media fair and balanced so that all voices are heard and we can respectfully exchange every American's view," he added, emphasizing that diverse perspectives would include opinions "from left to right to the center."

"Coming soon," Soon-Shiong wrote. "A new Editorial Board. Trust in media is critical for a strong democracy."

Over recent years, the editorial section of the L.A. Times has frequently published articles that clearly demonstrate its left-leaning bias.

The Times issued an opinion piece in 2021 written by columnist Erika D. Smith, titled, "Larry Elder is the Black face of white supremacy. You've been warned." The following year, the newspaper released an op-ed by business columnist Michael Hiltzik titled, "Mocking anti-vaxxers' COVID deaths is ghoulish, yes — but may be necessary."

Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin noted that the L.A. Times published article after article "endorsing soft on crime [Los Angeles District Attorney] DA George Gascon, who just got blown out by over 20 points in his re-election bid."

Police analyst and Townhall columnist Phil Holloway responded on X to the news that the L.A. Times plans to replace its editorial board.

Holloway wrote, "Here in the south we call this 'putting lipstick on a pig.'"

"They can change the editorial board all they want, but until they abandon 'advocacy journalism' — which is a euphemism for propaganda — they will remain a newspaper worthy only of lining birdcages," Holloway added.

Leading into the election, Soon-Shiong faced significant pushback after he refused to allow the newspaper to endorse Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. Since 2008, the Times has backed every Democratic presidential candidate.

Following the non-endorsement decision, the newspaper faced a wave of resignations, including three editorial board members.

Then-editorials editor Mariel Garza stated at the time, "I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent."

"In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I'm standing up," Garza added.

Soon-Shiong explained, "The Editorial Board was provided the opportunity to draft a factual analysis of all the POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE policies by EACH candidate during their tenures at the White House, and how these policies affected the nation."

"Instead of adopting this path as suggested, the Editorial Board chose to remain silent and I accepted their decision," he said.

The Los Angeles Times Guild Unit Council and Bargaining Committee accused Soon-Shiong of "unfairly assigning blame to Editorial Board members for his decision not to endorse."
