so few. <\/p>\n<p>Even with a sympathetic questioner in CBS\u2019s Bill Whitaker and a lot of editing, her prerecorded \u201c60 Minutes\u201d sit-down that aired Monday didn\u2019t go well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Harris gave us a glimpse into her mind, and there\u2019s not much there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Be thankful for small favors: At least she didn\u2019t deflect anything with \u201cI grew up a middle-class kid.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But her canned evasions still aren\u2019t actually answers to the big questions of this election: what she really believes, how she\u2019d offer \u201cchange\u201d from Joe Biden, what she plans to do, or why anyone should expect any of her policies to work.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_gotchas\"><\/span>No gotchas\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whitaker challenged Harris on a few points, but this shouldn\u2019t have been a hard interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There were no \u201cgotcha\u201d questions. <\/p>\n<p>There were no surprises.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>Nearly every topic he broached was something Harris had been asked before, in her debate with former President Donald Trump and in her few prior interviews.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Harris wasn\u2019t asked to defend her administration\u2019s lackluster performance in the response to Hurricane Helene, or its execution of anything other than opening the border to illegal migrants.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Airing as it did on Oct. 7, the interview opened with questions about the war in Gaza. <\/p>\n<p>Harris stuck to the administration\u2019s usual weaselly formulation, saying that Israel had a right to defend itself \u2014 but im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely pivoting to declare that too many Palestinians have died and \u201cthis war has to end.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So long as she won\u2019t say that Israel can and should disable Hamas and Hezbollah to prevent further attacks on Israel, that\u2019s not a real right to self-defense, but a recipe for a never-ending war in which more Israelis and more Palestinians will die.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So much for \u201cNever again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whatever else she may have said about the topic was cut off from a broadcast that was replete with edits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whitaker talked up the economy, but even with his encouragement, Harris could only say she had \u201ca plan\u201d to bring down prices. <\/p>\n<p>But she still can\u2019t explain what that plan is, despite having had multiple opportunities to do so, including on the debate stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We do know it involves the government printing more money, which is exactly how we got in this mess in the first place.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Coming_for_your_wallet\"><\/span>Coming for your wallet\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whitaker asked Harris twice how she would pay for her anticipated trillions in new spending. <\/p>\n<p>She said the richest taxpayers should pay more, but you can\u2019t raise that much money only from them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And everyone who got a tax cut during the Trump years should notice that her only other answer was to blame the former president\u2019s tax cuts \u2014 all of them. Watch your wallet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her answers on the border crisis were even worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Asked why the administration reversed course on Trump\u2019s policies and let so many people into the country, Harris blamed Congress for not passing a bill in 2024 \u2014 ignoring the fact that her own administration had unilaterally acted without Congress for three years to create the problem.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She simply had no answer as to why the Biden-Harris administration hadn\u2019t taken steps sooner to undo its own executive policies. <\/p>\n<p>She looked pained that Whitaker pressed her on the question.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Harris didn\u2019t just insult the intelligence of voters \u2014 she insulted them, period.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Whitaker asked how Harris could brand Trump\u2019s rhetoric racist when nearly half the country supports him, she scoffed that \u201cmost reasonable people\u201d do not.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So Trump\u2019s voters are either racist or unreasonable? <\/p>\n<p>Got it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When pressed on her many <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arent flip-flops on fracking, immigration and health care, Harris claimed she had shifted after <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ing the country as vice president and had discovered \u2014 shockingly! \u2014 that America is a big, diverse country in need of common ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Of course, she still has no regard for letting thorny issues be decided at the state level, as she would if she truly respected our differences.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The next time Harris works out a compromise will be the first.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_buck_never_stops\"><\/span>The buck never stops\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What about the gun she claims to own? <\/p>\n<p>Harris revealed (laughing awkwardly as she did so) that she has a Glock, which she has used at a firing range(laughing awkwardly as she did so).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That makes it worse, not better, that she\u2019s been so determined to take other people\u2019s guns \u2014 and once filed a Supreme Court brief arguing there is no individual right to own a handgun.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Harris is running a campaign of slogans, not ideas or proposals \u2014 and certainly not a campaign of records and accomplishments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On taxes, on immigration and on so much else, there are questions she can\u2019t answer, and she can\u2019t hide her inability to do so.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t bode well for us if she\u2019s our next president.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Harry Truman used to say, \u201cThe buck stops here.\u201d Harris thinks she can always just print more bucks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Dan McLaughlin is a senior writer at National Review.
