President Donald Trump’s angry response to a crypto corruption question shoehorned in at the end of his 60 Minutes interview was cut from the show’s final edit.

CBS aired a 28-minute version of the Trump interview on TV, then released a 73-minute extended cut online, which was also shared by the White House’s RapidResponse 47 X account.

The MAGA social media account claimed it was the “FULL” Trump interview that came “without the network’s edits and cuts.” An editor’s note on 60 Minutes’ YouTube upload of the extended interview said it was “condensed for clarity.”

However, while a tense exchange over crypto corruption with interviewer Norah O’Donnell featured as part of the full written transcript on the 60 Minutes Overtime site, it did not appear in any online video version.

@SenSchumer
Maybe I should file a complaint with the FCC against the Trump White House for editing his unhinged 60 Minutes interview.

It will use the exact same language Trump lodged against Vice President Harris.

No "maybe". Just. Do. It. And when they reject it or ignore it, then make a fuss about it, and don't let up.

I heard this mentioned on a radio report this morning and it took who knows how long, since Google is intentionally censoring, to get the "edit" story and Chuck Schumer's response.

1. sue the bastards

editing interviews will lose them the merger or whatever,

[jaymac]

2. And speaking of interviews

Please Please Please......stop interviewing j carville....his opinions are so early 90's and so not appreciated by most of us. just stop.

[rampartd]

3. i wish carville will come home and find us an opponent for casidy.

cassidy is beatable but right now it looks like an even mor e maga )fleming( will kick him in the primary.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. File a billion dollar lawsuit against CBS and see what they'll settle for.

[popsdenver]

39. Didn't Trump just win a huge lawsuit settlement

against CBS 60 MINUTES for "Editing" Kamala Harris' interview.??????????? He knows, with all these frivolous lawsuits that the people/companies he sues will settle just to avoid the multi years in the courts and millions in legal fees...........and all he has to do is corruptly threaten them with a multi zillion lawsuit and they will send him the money, so he can add it to his other Major Grifting......

[Botany]

5. CBS' 60 Minutes which was the Gold Standard for Journalism is now 1984's "Ministry of Truth."

I fear for America.

[kimbutgar]

28. I was thinking of watching that movie yesterday!

I have the 1950’s version and the one from the 80’s on DVD. And there is one on YouTube that is British made in the 1954 BBC TV with Peter Cushing !

38. During Trump's first installation in the White House

I was wishing I was a Zillionaire, and could mail a Copy of ANIMAL FARM, to every single address in America.
It is written so that even a third grader could match it to what the Republicans/Trump were doing in America.
I wouldn't have sent 1984, because it takes a much much higher intellectual capability to read 1984, much less understand it.

My personal feeling is that Orwell got it wrong in 1984, it isn't the government that we had to watch out for, it was the CORPORATIONS we had to watch out for to make sure they didn't take over the government.
Simplest definition of Fascism is the merger of Corporations and Government which is what the Republicans have accomplished.

[kimbutgar]

40. Good point

I read the book when I was in college decades ago and you have a good point about corporations controlling the government. The orange turd is a brought and paid for corporate parasite.

[popsdenver]

47. You can bet

there are many Uber Rich Oligarchs and CEO's running scared as much as Trump away from Epstein........
And, it's not just Trump/Epstein they have to worry about......they also have to worry about Putin Blackmailing them about what he also has on them and Epstein.......

[yankee87]

9. There is no way to condense his babbling for clarity.

It is never accurate, true or meaningful.

[CaptainTruth]

10. It's hard to extract clarity from lunacy.

[KS Toronado]

11. White House knew any clip of him whining/crying/babbling in our hands

would be used against them.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

12. This whole interview just epitomizes the constant failure of the press to make...

...the Tainted Tangerine Traitor actually answer questions. It is malpractice.

I get that in part it is because they want to cover so many topics and do not have time, but that is an editorial decision on their part. I also get that they know going in that he doesn't actually know the answers to the questions and is going to just endlessly deflect so why not move on, but that just lets the idiot off the hook on questions that every American deserves to know if the President of the U.S. has even the slightest clue about. Failure to expose his lies and ignorance on important questions is one reason we find ourselves here.

Healthcare was a good example:

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: No, no. But the subsidies is part of it. We're supposed to spend trillions of dollars to take care of something that-- that is defective. What I'm saying is, we can make it much less expensive for people and give them much better healthcare. And I'd be--

NORAH O'DONNELL: But where is that plan?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: --willing to work with the Democrats--

NORAH O'DONNELL: But where is that plan?

Had Norah actually made him answer this question we all know how badly things would have gone. He has no plan and no clue how to "make it much less expensive for people and give them much better healthcare." Nor do Republicans in congress. The perpetually-petulant POS and his lapdogs in congress seem to believe that repealing the ACA is an actual plan that achieves this goal; not just a path back to all of the problems we had in healthcare that led to the imperfect but much-better-than-nothing ACA we ended up with.

But Norah let the mindless rambler off the hook by following up with a question about the damn subsidies and not pressing him on what his actual healthcare plan is.

And the whole thing ended like this:

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: And it's a disaster. The same guy that did his museum, which is a total catastrophe, came up with a bad healthcare plan. And for the sake of one vote, we would have had, you know, it's so sad thinking back--

NORAH O'DONNELL: But how-- I guess the question is-- I hear you.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: If we had the vote, that one vote, we would have great healthcare at a much lower cost, and that's what I want. But I don't want to give $1.5 trillion to prisoners and drug dealers and-- and the people that-- that came into our country from mental institutions. What they allowed to come into our country, and we're getting 'em out, but what they allowed to come into our country, Norah, is horrible. So--

NORAH O'DONNELL: I just--

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: --ready?

NORAH O'DONNELL: Okay.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: We can make it good.

NORAH O'DONNELL: I don't want to get into a back-- too much of a back and forth on this--

That's your damn job NORAH. Do your damn job....

I guess nobody knew that interviewing complete idiots was so complicated....

[maxsolomon]

19. he literally CANNOT answer

but he also can't stop talking.

he will never answer a question straight. ever. it's pointless to try.

[ificandream]

21. I think she did her best to get an answer.

I mean she can't slap his face, but she pushed him. She's walking a tightrope in these situations because she doesn't want him to play drama queen and walk off the set. But I think she pushed him pretty good.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

49. Personally, I think she could have done better in a few areas. My real problem with the exchange...

...I quoted is how she fell into the trap of changing the subject on herself--as many interviewers seem to do.

There should be a short list of questions that you demand an answer to; not a long list of questions that you will just accept any babble or lie for an answer to and move on to the next one.

IMO, what the actual plan that Turnip and Republicans have for healthcare is an extremely important question to force them to answer. I believe we all know: there really isn't one. But as long as they are allowed to pretend like they have some plan or concept of a plan if only the ACA would get defunded or repealed and not be forced to admit there is no plan then they can continue to lie and lie and lie about it and sound somewhat credible.

Healthcare touches all of our lives. The prices we all pay for it are intertwined. "[A]s many as 66.5% of people who file for bankruptcy blame medical bills as the primary cause."
https://www.ilr.cornell.edu/scheinman-institute/blog/john-august-healthcare/healthcare-insights-how-medical-debt-crushing-100-million-americans

I get that Norah is a millionaire interviewing a billionaire, and neither of them probably even know anyone that has had to declare bankruptcy over medical debt--but to the vast majority of the American people this is either an extremely important issue now or will be one in the future. Everyone needs healthcare.

But Norah did not press for an answer to her question, "where is that plan?" She switched topics to the subsidies; let the Evil Orangeutan off the hook; and then moved on.

Forcing Turnip and Republicans to admit they have no healthcare plan--that saying "we can make it good," isn't a damn plan for anything; and that until such a day the ACA is fundamental to making sure more Americans do not suffer under a system that is geared towards profits for companies that never even touch a patient--is a critical step towards actually helping the American people and exposing their hypocrisy.

45. THE MUSINGS OF AN IMBECILE

[LudwigPastorius]

22. "...and the people that-- that came into our country from mental institutions."

He still thinks that people seeking asylum have been released from mental institutions.

What a grade A moron. If anyone needs to be put away, it's him.

[Zackzzzz]

37. Did I misunderstand?

Is he telling me he sees me and my family as "prisoners and drug dealers"?

[AZ8theist]

46. Is your skin brown?

Then YES, that is EXACTLY what he thinks you and your family are.........

[Ol Janx Spirit]

48. No, what he sees is an opportunity to lie to the American people about what Democrats want to do...

...in terms of healthcare--and he never misses one of those.

He doesn't see you or your family at all unless maybe you contributed to his bunker room or attended his Great Gatsby party....

With every passing day and every passing interview he proves his lack of basic humanity--the thing that would be required to see others as and where they are. The good news for him is that it makes it very easy to lie about everything in pursuit of his real aims. The bad news for us is that those lies expose his aims and far too many of the American people either shrug or support it.

[Ruby the Liberal]

13. Don't break a sweat, Chuck

I'm sure the mere threat of challenging him will do the trick.

Maybe follow up with a sternly worded memo outlining your concerns.

[Joinfortmill]

14. R.I.P. CBS

[OLDMDDEM]

15. Don't "maybe" or "should" do it. Just sue their asses off.

[republianmushroom]

16. Pimping for trump.

[tonekat]

42. They have no shame

People should pelt their studio windows with rotten tomatoes.

17. transcript

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/read-full-transcript-norah-odonnell-60-minutes-interview-with-president-trump/

I expected him to say "Friends, Americans, Countrymen, Lend me an ear"

[bluestarone]

18. How many times, I mean how many times to we have to SCREAM

RELEASE the FU:LL REPORT!! Why is so many people scared of this no good BASTARD, and his cult terrorist.

[twodogsbarking]

20. Use AI to re-create it. Please. Anyone.

[turbinetree]

23. Time for lawsuit.................lets say for a complete airing of the segment and 32 million and breaking up

of the merger...................for starters............

[stollen]

24. I don't watch corporate media

for this reason.

Thanks for reinforcing my reason, though.

[TygrBright]

25. Wait... isn't editing a "60 Minutes" interview TREASON? n/t

[kimbutgar]

26. Maybe people sure sue CBS and demand they release the whole unedited interview

US citizens vs CBS!

[bucolic_frolic]

27. They had to cut it, the irony would have broken every TV set in the country. /nt

[Trueblue1968]

29. He is an ass. Evil piece of crap. He is hated

[bmichaelh]

30. Lack of Independence?

I wonder if their "journalists" have any independence.

Was Norah O'Donnell required to submit the questions to Bari Weiss or Trump for pre-approval before the sit-down interview.

[calimary]

31. Just DO IT!!!

[Blue Owl]

32. Spray some more perfume on the steaming turd, CBS

And then go fuck off.

[RockCreek]

33. Don't just talk about it Schumer, DO IT.

[Hassler]

34. Didn't CBS agree to run his shit interviews unedited?

This must be the Bari Effect.

[BurnDoubt]

35. TOMORROW!!!!

[red dog 1]

36. Here is a great reply to Schumer's tweet:

[tonekat]

41. "The Weekend" on MSNBC is discussing

How CBS prematurely caved and how they are contributing to the total lies coming out of rumplestiltskin's fat mouth. "See, just cave in, it's easier and you get your Trump interview".

[mdbl]

43. Since CBS now SUCKS

I don't watch any of it anymore. I was told Nora O'Donnell tried to hold Dump to task on some of his corruption though. Good for her if it's true. I wonder how long it will take for Bari Weiss to fire her.

[phxjurist]

44. Bye bye CBS. I have no tolerance for hypocrisy.
