At this point, it’s pretty clear that like “fetch,” Kamala Harris just isn’t going to happen. That isn’t stopping “60 Minutes” from trying to “reintroduce” the vice president to the public for – what is this, the fourth or fifth time?

“60 Minutes,” like the rest of the mainstream media, believes in the intersectionality of Kamala Harris. She’s everything that they want, so they assume that the American public is totally going to want her, too. if they just knew her. News flash, guys – we DO know her. Kamala Harris shows up occasionally to get shoved in our faces, and then disappears again for months at a time. Her poll numbers are perpetually negative because we DO know her. She was picked because she was what Biden had promised to pick – a black woman. That was it. We already knew that she was intellectually vapid, unfriendly, and offered nothing unique or valuable to the office of Vice President except her skin color and genitalia. But since the Democrats are tied to Biden, they are stuck with Kamala Harris. These kinds of interviews should be seen as the media trying to make the best of a bad situation.

The interview package began with current events in Israel. Harris is backing Biden’s line of support for Israel, but also finds the need to lecture Israel about “following all the rules” during a war. Does she or Biden feel the need to remind Ukraine of those rules? No? Why do they have to keep parroting this same line repeatedly for Israel? Honestly, it’s gotten downright offensive.

Vice President Harris told us the U.S. is not telling Israel what to do but is providing advice, equipment and diplomatic support.

Kamala Harris: A terrorist organization, Hamas, slaughtered hundreds of young people at a concert. By most estimates at least fourteen hundred Israelis are dead. Israel, without any question, has a right to defend itself. That being said, it is very important that there be no conflation between Hamas and the Palestinians. The Palestinians deserve equal measures of safety and security, self-determination and dignity, and we have been very clear that the rules of war must be adhered to and that there be humanitarian aid that flows.

She told us the U.S. wants to keep the conflict from escalating but that’s proving difficult. In the last two weeks, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen, both proxies of Iran, have launched missiles, rockets and drones against Israel, and Iranian-backed militias have fired on U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Syria. In response, the U.S. launched airstrikes against Iranian weapons facilities in syria. If that weren’t enough of a signal to Iran and other adversaries, the Pentagon has also deployed two imposing aircraft carrier strike groups to the region.

Bill Whitaker: And what’s the message to Iran?

Kamala Harris: “Don’t.”

Bill Whitaker: As President Biden said, just, “Don’t”?

Kamala Harris: Exactly. One word. Pretty straightforward.

I wonder who came up with the “don’t” line. It’s so easy, it’s so simple, even a cognitively declining grandpa and a woman obsessed with Venn diagrams can remember it! Too bad Iran looks like they’re just going to be ignoring it.

The interview package continues, following Kamala Harris to the College of Southern Nevada, where she is sticking to issues-based politics with the young people. After all, academia is clearly not in agreement with the Biden administration when it comes to Israel, so Kamala Harris has to talk up issues like abortion. That always gets the college kids going.

But nationally the Biden- Harris administration is not generating the kind of enthusiasm she’s seeing on her tour.

Bill Whitaker: A recent CBS poll found that at the beginning of President Biden’s term, 70% of young people, people under 30, said he was doin’ a good job. Now it’s less than 50%. Why is that? What’s going on?

Kamala Harris: If you poll how young people feel about the climate, and the warming of our planet it polls as one of their top concerns. When we talk about what we are doing with student loan debt, polls very high. The challenge that we have as an administration is we gotta let people know who brung it to ’em. (laugh) That’s our challenge. But it is not that the work we are doing is not very, very popular with a lot of people.

She blames the disconnect in part on lack of media coverage. Still, the vice president herself is not very popular now. Just 41% of adults told CBS News they approve of the job she’s doing, about the same for President Biden. We talked to her the day before the carnage in Maine, but she had told us issues like mass shootings are more important than poll numbers.

Bill Whitaker: You have a portfolio that includes gun violence, the root cause of migration. These are some of the most intractable issues facing the country.

Kamala Harris: We’ve done some of the most significant gun safety laws in 30 years. But we still need an assault weapons ban. It doesn’t have to be this way. There was an assault weapons ban at one time. It expired. Let’s renew it.

Bill Whitaker: Most Americans say that they don’t think you’re doing a good job on the border, you and the administration. The number of people trying to cross the U.S. southern border is– at an all-time high.

Kamala Harris: It’s no secret that we have a broken immigration system. Short term, we need a safe, orderly, and humane border policy. And long term, we need to invest in the root causes of migration. But the bottom line? Congress needs to act. Come on. Participate in the solution instead of political gamesmanship.

The bottom line is that Kamala Harris is desperately trying to help the administration buy votes from young people by promising them the moon, and then when they get shot down by the Supreme Court, as they did when it came to student loan debt, there’s someone else to blame for not getting the moon. The poll numbers are tanking, and the media and Harris are willfully blind as to why.

Bill Whitaker: Considering what you are laying out as your achievements, you have the current frontrunner– for the GOP, Donald Trump, facing, what, 91 criminal charges.

Kamala Harris: I’ve lost count.

Bill Whitaker: Yet, the Biden-Harris ticket is running neck and neck with Donald Trump. Why are you not 30 points ahead?

Kamala Harris: Well, I’m not– I’m not a political pundit, so I– I– I’m not gonna speak to that. But what I will say is this: When the American people are able to take a close look at election time on their options, I think the choice is gonna be clear. Bill, we’re gonna win. Let me just tell you that. We’re gonna win. And I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy. But we will win.

Bill Whitaker: You say that with such conviction.

Kamala Harris: I have no doubt. But I also have no doubt it’s gonna be a lot of work. And everyone’s gonna have to participate. This is a democracy.

Pssssst, Kamala. You’re not 30 points ahead because you and Biden have done a BAD JOB. Your foreign policy stinks, and it starts with Afghanistan. The southern border is a sieve. “Bidenomics” has become a joke. In a normal world, slapping multiple politically motivated charges against your political opponent would probably sink him – except that you suck THIS BAD.

Also, when your selling point on your boss is that he “is very much alive” – that isn’t exactly a vote of confidence.

The GOP is using her low poll numbers and President Biden’s age as a battering ram and some Democrats are growing worried.

Bill Whitaker: We were talking to some Democratic donors, and they have told us that should something befall President Biden, and he is not able to run, that there would be a free for all for who would run as president. You are in the spot that that would be a natural for you to step up, but we’re hearing from donors that they would not naturally fall into line. Why is that?

Kamala Harris: Well, first of all, I’m not gonna engage in that hypothetical ’cause Joe Biden is very much alive and running for reelection. So there we are–

Bill Whitaker: But you do know. I mean, that is a concern. And– and a legitimate concern, I would say.

Kamala Harris: I hear from a lot of different people a lot of different things. But let me just tell you, I’m focused on the job. I truly am. Our democracy is on the line, Bill. And I frankly, in my head, do not have time for parlor games, when we have a president who is running for reelection. That’s it.

And if Joe Biden weren’t alive, Kamala Harris would be flattened by a speeding Gavin Newsom to secure the nomination. The only way Kamala ever sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute desk is if Joe Biden dies. She knows it, Jill knows it, and everyone else knows it, too. Kamala Harris won’t be joining the list of vice presidents who became president, unless Joe Biden is dead or incapacitated. “Fetch” is not gonna happen, no matter how many softball interviews she gets.
