Jesse Watters: “Wow…we finally got our hands on the raw CBS News interview with Kamala Harris that was deceptively edited. And it did not disappoint…”

Video transcript 5:28

We got our hands on the raw footage of Kamala Harris' 60 Minutes interview last October in the heat of the election. Harris hailed Mary with CBS, but the network was caught deceptively editing this answer. Watch. But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening. 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. But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening. The Wall Street Journal said that your administration has repeatedly been blindsided by Netanyahu. And in fact, he has rebuffed just about all of your administrations and treaties. 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 by 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. Trump sued CBS for 10 billion and it looks like they might settle. But before that happens, the FCC released the full interview unedited and we have the tape. They talked for an hour and left a lot out. Here's an answer that never made air. Watch. I'm trying to understand how it is that with this emphasis on the border, the numbers of crossings quadrupled under the first three years of the Biden-Harris administration. How did that happen? There are a variety of factors that relate to what we have seen globally and what we are not immune from at our own border in terms of what we have seen, in terms of surge of immigration, any regular migration. And there are solutions at hand, but we've got to have leaders who are solution oriented, which we've been and are. CBS also cut out their host pressing Kamala on how she's going to pay for all of her giveaways. If all of this makes so much sense, why has this not been done? You're dealing with a Congress that is divided, that many are in opposition to not only you, but your policies. So how are you going to make this come true? If I approached my life as though, well, it's never been done before, therefore it cannot be done. I wouldn't be sitting here in this interview with you. That's the truth. Then 60 Minutes tossed Kamala big fat softball, and she swung and missed. The most basic of questions. Why do you want to be president of the United States? There are many reasons, but probably first and foremost, I truly believe in the promise of America. I do. And I love the American people. You know, we are people who have ambition and aspirations and dreams and optimism and hope. That's why you want to run. That's why you want to be president. That's why I'm running. And some other reasons. But you're asking the American people to make you the most powerful person on the planet. Why do you deserve the American people's votes? Well, first of all, I have a career and a history of being very clear that I think of my role of leadership, and in particular now for the last four years as vice president and moving forward as president, if the voters will have me as being a leader on behalf of all Americans. Kamala wasn't the only one having a rough night. One of the crew guys misgendered Madam Vice President. Is that what you needed? Yes, sir. Yes, ma'am. 30 seconds of sound space for each other. Michael Schellenberg is the founder of Public News. All right. Do you see anything scandalous about what CBS did here, Mike? Oh, yeah, a little bit. I mean, I just I kind of I just sort of forgot that that's how she talks, you know, and I was it was actually watching it again. I don't know why it was. I mean, it's like the easiest stuff to memorize. You would think she would have memorized it by them. But it feels like she's trying to figure out why she's running for president every time she's asked. I mean, it's like it's like a month before the election and you're on 60 minutes. She's like, why do you want to be president? Why am I running? Well, let's see. What? Amazing.

Low-intensity maintenance post reflecting Trump's characteristic retroactive supply-seeking: amplifying perceived vindication of a months-old grievance against CBS News and Kamala Harris. UTC 04:50:13 converts to 11:50 PM EST (Washington DC), confirming late-night authentic posting. The psychological function is consolidation — the electoral victory over Harris is insufficient; her discrediting must be continuously renewed. The 'did not disappoint' phrasing reveals mild ego-syntonic satisfaction at the opponent's continued embarrassment. Splitting and projection are the operative defenses: CBS is cast as the deceptive institution while Trump's own prolific history of factual distortion goes unexamined. The post reinforces epistemic closure by embedding 'deceptively edited' as background assumption rather than arguable claim. No cognitive deviation from baseline detectable in the limited direct language sample. Danger level: none — targeting is institutional/political without eliminationist framing. No clinically novel features distinguish this post from established Trump behavioral baseline; it is a routine expression of his media-grievance narrative in a post-election triumphalist register.

Danger Assessment

None

Gaslighting Detected:
  • 'Deceptively edited' presented as established fact rather than contested political characterization
  • Epistemic closure: CBS dishonesty framed as axiomatic, making the claim non-falsifiable within in-group
  • Amplification of disputed narrative positions audience to distrust any CBS rebuttal as further evidence of deception
Reality Distortions:
  • 'Deceptively edited' characterization of CBS interview is a contested political claim, not an established finding — CBS maintained standard editorial practice and the 'deception' allegation was never adjudicated
Fact Checks (2)
"CBS News 'deceptively edited' the Kamala Harris interview"
Half True

The 2024 '60 Minutes' controversy arose when the broadcast version of Harris's answer about Israel differed from a longer version aired on 'Face the Nation.' CBS maintained the edits were standard journalistic compression preserving meaning. Trump filed an FCC complaint and initiated legal proceedings. The edits occurred and were contested; the characterization of 'deceptive intent' is a political allegation, not an established finding.

"Watters/Fox 'finally got our hands on the raw CBS News interview'"
Unverifiable

The claim of exclusive access to unaired raw footage cannot be assessed without reviewing the Watters segment. Whether this constitutes genuinely new footage or repackaging of previously available material is unclear from the post alone.
