***Please read forum ruleset and remember this thread is about Harris 60 Min interview. Trump is not part of the discussion.****


Even CNN can't hide it anymore:

CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker asked: “But there was an historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across the border the first three years of your administration. As a matter of fact, arrivals quadrupled from the last year of President Trump. Was it a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as much as you did?”​
“It’s a longstanding problem. And solutions are at hand. And from day one, literally, we have been offering solutions,” Harris said.​
Pressed on the record number of crossings and whether more action should’ve been taken sooner, Harris refused to answer, focusing instead on recent action that has resulted in a drastic drop in crossings and putting the onus on Congress to act.​
then:

The vice president avoided answering whether she would support the effort to expand the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, to include Ukraine, saying she would “deal with if and when it arrives at that point.”​
Also:

He acknowledged making false claims about his military record and about being in Hong Kong during Tiananmen Square unrest. But he said those moments were “expressing emotion, telling a story, getting a date wrong,” as opposed to being “a pathological liar like Donald Trump.”​
Feckless at best IMHO

When's he's right, he's right.

Border crossings surged because 1) so many had been detained at the Mexican border for years and 2) the pandemic had devastated the northern Triangle economically. Harris set up procedures allowing people to stay home and apply for asylum at the embassy. What they are doing now is working and would work better had Republicans passed the bipartisan bill.

Admitting the Ukraine to NATO would mean NATO nations could send troops. I think NATO and the U.S. want to hold the line. Russia has lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers (I've read) and huge resources. Hopefully that will thwart Putin's empire building. Putin is an enemy of the free world.

We can be grateful NATO is strong again after being threatened in the past.

Re: Walz. Enough of the swiftboating. A few partisan hacks in the Minnesota Guard can't besmirch 24 years of service. Their claims have been disproven.

Walz and China. Is that the worst scandal you can come up.with? Really? Then his thousands of devoted students and the remarkable success of his leadership on Minnesota must really have you stymied.

Good for 60 minutes for pressing for an answer.

IMO, VP Harris will not anser that question as it may reflect poorly on President Biden. She has been careful not to criticize her current boss while stating what she would do.

Utlimately, the Congress will need pass legislation to update our Asylum laws. Biden's current policy could be overturned by a court....

then:

The vice president avoided answering whether she would support the effort to expand the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, to include Ukraine, saying she would “deal with if and when it arrives at that point.”​

A sitting VP would be very unwise to answer such a sensitive foreign policy question. Her answer was spot on IMO.

Can we post anything else from the article which isn't approved in the OP? Seems like an invitation for cherry-picking rather than an attempt at a reasonable analysis of the contents of the link.

Biden said she’s responsible for all decisions. They are on the same page.

Today she was on the View, Howard Stern, and will be on Colbert.
Walz was on Kimmel last night. Will wonders never cease? As the lunch monitor, he once had to do the Heimlich on a student turning blue who lay choking on the floor.
I listened to Howard Stern Sirius 100 while driving...for the first time ever. He focused a lot on her experience as a DA and a prosecutor, representing families of murder victims and victims of other heinous crimes. Her work with gangs, living with threats to her life. "I decided not to live in fear." In both shows she was genuine, warm, likeable, inspiring confidence.

Credit goes to Bill Whitaker for actually doing his job.

Being pro-life also means being grateful to people who save the lives of choking victims and district attorneys/AGs who prosecute murderers, murderous gangs, and assaulters--even when their lives are threatened.
Thank you, VP Harris and Gov. Walz, for saving lives courageously and for your plans to help the elderly and disabled remain in their homes with dignity.

And murdering babies right up to delivery, oh and if the survive the abortion, just let them die.

The lunch monitor will save a choking child, and support cutting others into pieces

I hear CBS did some heavy damage control editing. And apparently they're withholding the full transcript. But even as is, it showed Harris seems to be playacting the part. Basically winging it and flying by the seat of her pants.

I think we're getting off topic here. The topic is Harris' interview.
You are the one who brought up the off topic you are complaining about.
