Kamala Harris Refuses to Tell ‘60 Minutes’ Whether Breaking the Border Wide Open Was a ‘Mistake’

The 60 Minutes interview was supposed to be a cornerstone of Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s much-ballyhooed “Media Blitz”, featuring such tough interviews as The View, Howard Stern, Stephen Colbert, and the Call Her Daddy podcast. Instead, it may have turned out to be a millstone.
Here CBS’s Bill Whitaker performed a journalism- a practice that seems archaic these days. There were questions asked, and the expectation that these questions would be met with an answer.
The interview began with a question on October 7th, and America’s relationship with Israel. Harris tries to split the baby by calling for a ceasefire and emphasizing America’s relationship with Israel but also distancing herself from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Here, she refuses to acknowledge Netanyahu as a close ally:

From there, the interview went to economic proposals. Notice both Harris’s level of comfort once Whitaker gets past the first question, and the overall failure to answer the question:

Whitaker proceeds to a question on Harris as a candidate, from whence comes this gem:

We come to the most damning portion of the interview: For the first time in memory, Harris gets seriously called out on her flip flops. Here, Harris responds by delivering a flurry of word salads. Furthermore, Kamala Harris cannot bring herself to admit that blowing the border wide open to the tune of millions of illegal migrants a year:

Whitaker asks Harris to explain Trump’s continued support, Harris narrowly avoids a “Basket of Deplorables” moment á la Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The obligatory visit to Ripon, WI feels like a conquest victory tour. One wag noted that the Harris campaign exhibits their Republican endorsers with the pride of a hunter showing off their latest 12-point buck:

Pivoting back to foreign policy, Harris dodges on Ukraine NATO membership but not on continued American involvement in these conflicts.

On her claim of gun ownership, Whitaker gets out of her that she owns a Glock.

Moving on to Minnesota Governor and 2024 Democrat vice presidential nominee Tim Walz: Unlike Fox’s Shannon Bream, who presented a full menu of lies for Walz to choose to deflect from, Whitaker presses Walz on Tiananmen Square. Walz brushes it off to “passion” and “emotion”, and again largely skates on the character question.

The exchange between Whitaker and Walz was more jovial than with Harris. Here, Whitaker softly sets Walz up to deliver a well-worn stump line:

Walz gets another open-ended softball: the “weird” question.

Finally, Harris is given a chance to make a closing argument.

Several things stick out from this interview: other than being perhaps a bit too chummy with Walz, Whitaker did his job. He pressed Harris on a number of issues in a way that the Regime Media had not done over the course of this compressed campaign. Harris, on the other hand, showed why the Regime Media failed by allowing her to run a Plexiglass Basement campaign until a month before the election. Her non-answers on her economic proposals and on immigration expose her. Her continued bookings on friendly outlets where she is guaranteed to get a tongue bath expose everyone else.

Knowing when to dodge the bullets coming at us

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – We’ve all experienced close calls. Sometimes, we recognize immediately the bullet we dodged; other times, that knowledge doesn’t come to us until years, maybe decades later. What if, just weeks before an election, you learn that there are people on the voter rolls who are not legally allowed to vote? Or what if you find that former candidates for president of the US wanted to…

Biden Admin to End Parole Program for Hundreds of Thousands of Migrants

The Biden administration will not renew the temporary parole program that has allowed 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to enter the U.S., the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Friday.
These individuals were granted a two-year period under the parole scheme to seek humanitarian relief or other immigration benefits and contribute to the U.S. workforce, DHS told the Daily Caller News Foundation. As these two-year grants begin to expire in the coming weeks, those without pending immigration applications or approved benefits will be required to leave the U.S. or face possible deportation.

When the Constitution gets in the way of the federal government doing what it wants

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – As news breaks about the most recent failure of a federal agency, many are asking why our regulatory system is failing us. Perhaps it is because it was never designed to protect our health in the first place. After all, who do you trust with your health, a nameless bureaucrat or your own two eyes? How long has it been since a simple thing like the Constitution got in the way of the federal government doing what it wants?

“Let them eat cake”

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Elitists like to lord themselves over us. Tell us who we can vote for, what we can own, and even how we are allowed to live our lives. It is said that when Marie Antoinette learned that the poor had no bread, her response was, “Let them eat cake!” But we don’t live in pre-revolutionary France; we live in the United States of America. We do not elect masters but public servants…

Study Shows the Influential One Percent Hold Different Views from Average Americans

When it comes to elitists in America, a recent study has shown that they are wildly out of touch with the average, everyday American people on a lot of issues such as freedom and the economy.
A project was recently conducted by prominent pollster Scott Rasmussen titled "Elite 1 Percent" goes into detail about who the one percent are and what their views are regarding American policies.
