The Federal Communications Commission has officially released the full, unedited transcript of the interview then-Vice President Kamala Harris did with “60 Minutes” back in October 2024. When you mosey on through the whole thing, it’s pretty easy to see why CBS and Harris’ campaign didn’t want this whole thing made available to the public. It really showcases our former vice president’s total incompetence and lack of knowledge on, well, pretty much any topic.
The New York Times put out a report about the transcript’s release on Wednesday, pointing out that several responses given by Harris were given a considerable hack and slash, particularly when asked about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A preview featuring her response to the question clocked in at 21 seconds. However, it was whittled down to just seven during the actual interview.
President Donald Trump‘s campaign sued CBS, arguing the interview was edited in a manner tantamount to election interference. CBS argued it was simply editing down the footage for airing purposes. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr posted about the release on the social media platform X on Wednesday, stating a News Distortion complaint had been filed.
CBS provided the FCC with unredacted video & a transcript of VP Harris’s ‘60 Minutes’ interview in response to the FCC’s review of a News Distortion complaint.

You can see the clown show in full down below:
You can look at the transcript and footage from the October interview and see for yourself just how distorted it is. When you watch the full interview, it’s the kind of thing you’d expect from Harris. Full gourmet word salads for everyone!
For the conservative viewer, the takeaway might be that this is more of the same and CBS is trying to cover for a candidate struggling to articulate a clear message and state what exactly her platform is a month before election day. But consider how an edited interview would look to the politically uninitiated or undecided voter. A carefully curated depiction of the former vice president very well may have been the tipping point for some of those people.
FCC Democratic Commissioner Anna M. Gomez stated, “Having now seen these materials, I see no reason to continue pursuing this investigation. The F.C.C. should now move to dismiss this fishing expedition to avoid further politicizing our enforcement actions.”
The American people have the right to see the full answers to critical questions from those they are choosing to be leaders of this country. For CBS to take the initiative to edit the interview with Harris is tantamount to election interference. It’s time to make the left pay the penalty for their infractions of the law.
